Chapter 1: A Part-time Boy in a Tavern
Under the dense purple gas, the Kyushu continent stands side by side. Since the last Nine Continents War, the damaged vitality of the continents has gradually flourished after more than 10,000 years of recovery. The Immortal Gate of Cultivation on the Kyushu Continent has also re-established.
Junzhou is located in the north-north of the Kyushu mainland. It is bordered by Ping Chau to the east, Lok Chau to the south, and Tin Wan Chau to the west and north. Junzhou's strength is at the middle level in Kyushu. The five immortal gates in it stand side by side. The relationship between the five immortal gates, on the surface, is also harmonious.
There are more than 30 countries of various sizes within Junzhou. Luo Guo is one of them. Luoguo is one of the small countries in Junzhou, and its internal environment is very exquisite and beautiful.
Siyang City is one of the three main cities of Luoguo. There are many pavilions in the city, and it is a prosperous scene. Although it was not a year of war, the guards of Siyang City did not let up because of this. Not only that, but the guards in the city looked a little nervous. The reason for this situation is said to be that there are rumors that the eastern border of the country of Luo is --- the country of Gaoding, and it is going to attack the country of Luo. Although Siyang City is not a frontier city, it is not very far from the frontier. Between Siyang City and Gaoding Kingdom, there is only a small city - Luoshui City. The Gaoding army broke through Luoshui City, and Siyang City was directly exposed to the Gaoding army. Although Gao Dingguo's strength is not far from Luoguo, according to rumors, there are immortal cultivators in Gao Ding's army to help. In this way, the fate of the country of Luo is in jeopardy.
Most of the people in Siyang City have not heard of this incident. Therefore, there is still a picture of singing and dancing in the city. But in the corner of this elephant of prosperity, a rumor of war is rising.
Bai Yitong is a country boy who works in a tavern in the city of Siyang. Although he usually has some little naughtiness, he is still very calm in general. The tavern business is mediocre, and I usually have a lot of free time. In his free time, he always likes to lie down at the window and look at the sky. It was as if something in the clear blue sky attracted him.
"A bucket, I'm lazy again!"
Because Bai Yitong's name is "Yitong", the frequent drinkers jokingly call him "Yitong".
"Well, it's Uncle Zhang. You're drinking again! Aunt Zhang has given her an alcohol cessation order?"
Bai Yitong touched his head, and poured a bowl of local rice wine for a bearded man with a smile.
"you, little bunny!"
The big man, known as Uncle Zhang, laughed and scolded, and drank the wine in the bowl.
Bai Yitong saw that the big man drank wine, and was about to return to the window to continue looking at the blue sky. At this time, I saw two old men walking in at the door, one wearing a green cloth dress and the other wearing a blue brocade suit.
When Bai Yitong saw the two of them, he was slightly stunned and unconsciously stunned. Then he hurriedly gave the two of them their seats.
"Little brother, I was a little shocked when I saw you just now, do you know the two of us?"
After ordering a few side dishes and a pot of good wine, the two old men stared at Bai Yitong and asked.
Bai Yitong was secretly shocked in his heart: "This person is so powerful, a small expression was actually captured by him."
"No...... I don't know each other, but I just feel that the two immortals are radiant and radiant, so I was unconsciously stunned for a while. Don't be surprised!"
"Oh? hahaha. Brother Wang Dao, it seems that you and I have not diminished our demeanor back then. ”
"Brother Chengdao, the two of us have a task on our bodies, please keep a low profile. ”
The old man who spoke first had a dark face. He looked around the tavern and found that except for a strong man with a scruffy beard who was drinking by himself, only the shopkeeper was standing in front of him. And Hu Dahan and the shopkeeper are obviously not monks. That's why he cheered up and said, "Brother Dao Wang, there are no other monks here, why do we need to be so cautious.
Another old man also looked around, still uneasy: "But, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of ......."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a wave of his hand from the swarthy old man. Then, I saw the swarthy old man take out a white pill, and said to Bai Yitong: "Little brother, we are immortal cultivators who came out to carry out secret missions, as long as you can keep it secret for us, this elixir is yours." ”
"Ah...... This...... I can't ask for it. It is our responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of our guests. It is possible to accept the benefits of the guest. When Bai Yitong heard that the two old men were the legendary immortal cultivators, he suddenly felt a little flustered in his heart. Although he really wanted the pill that looked like it had a lot of aura. However, he also felt that he should be humble. So, in the end, he chose to refuse.
When the swarthy old man saw Bai Yitong's eyes, his face suddenly became ugly. Then he couldn't help but say, and forced the pill into Bai Yitong's hand.
"Little brother, you and I are destined. Think of it as a welcome gift from me. ”
After the swarthy old man finished speaking, he motioned for Bai Yitong to step back, and discussed things with another old man. Seeing this, Bai Yitong naturally didn't want to bother. He silently put away the pill and ran into the kitchen to check the preparation of the side dishes.
In the evening, Bai Yitong had already told his boss for leave and ran to a shack in the wilderness on the outskirts of the city. He built the shack in his spare time. The purpose is to run around and relax when you are in a bad mood.
"Gao Dingguo is going to attack Luoguo? How can this be? My family is on the edge of Luoshui City. Once Luoshui City is broken, the village is bound to be slaughtered. So, isn't it dangerous for my father and mother and the people in the village?"
Bai Yitong sat on the edge of the shack, looking at the direction of Luoshui City and muttering to himself. Today, when he was serving food to the two old men with immortal wind bones, he vaguely heard the two of them talking about Gao Dingguo's attack on Luoguo. It was because of him that he would take leave from the tavern owner and come out in advance to think of countermeasures.
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the autumn is high and cool. Bai Yitong had been sitting for two hours, but he still hadn't thought of a feasible way. He reached out and touched his inner pocket, and all his savings were only about thirty copper coins. It's simply not enough to move the family. Even if the poor family has a few dozen copper coins, it still doesn't help. Besides, my father and mother have lived here for generations, and they may not be willing to move away.
"Huh, this pill. ”
When Bai Yitong was groping for copper coins, he inadvertently came across the white elixir. So he took it out and approached it. He wanted to observe what this immortal cultivator's elixir looked like.
An inexplicable aura emanated from the elixir. The distance between the pill and the face was not more than a fraction of a millimeter, and Bai Yitong naturally felt this breath very clearly.
The white light of the pill is faint, and the breath is pervasive. Bai Yitong's hand involuntarily slowly put the pill into his mouth. In fact, at this time, he didn't know what was going on in his heart, as if the person who had taken the pill was a stranger and had nothing to do with him.
The pill melts in the mouth and goes down the throat into the abdomen. A stream of heat slowly rises from the lower abdomen and gradually spreads throughout the body. The heat flow was accompanied by incomparably painful pain. Bai Yitong opened his mouth to shout, but he was hoarse and silent. At this time, his body seemed to be slowly burned by a raging fire, inch by inch, trace by thread. After about two hours, the heat and pain spread from the internal organs to the flesh and bones.
Bai Yitong's facial muscles kept shaking, and his body kept contracting and expanding. Luckily, the place he chose to build the shack was very remote, and it was night again. Otherwise, he will definitely be frightened when others see him. After holding on for another pillar of incense, he finally couldn't hold on anymore. As soon as he stood up, he fainted.
I don't know how long it took, Bai Yitong slowly opened his eyes, and his consciousness gradually returned. After lying down on another pillar of incense, he struggled to support his body and tried to recall what had happened. When he recalled the whole story, he couldn't help but regret his recklessness and indiscriminate collection of other people's things.
After his body returned to normal, Bai Yitong looked at the sky and secretly exclaimed that it was not good. It's past noon now, at least the next afternoon. If the tavern owner doesn't see him coming to work, he will definitely deduct his salary again. He rubbed his head, only to find that his hair was sticky, and then his body was the same. When I looked at the clothes again, I was simply startled by myself, and the clothes couldn't see their original faces clearly. Then he quickly ran towards a nearby waterhole.
Bai Yitong washed his body and washed his clothes again. He was about to go ashore, but he saw a white light whistling in. The speed of white light is extremely fast. Before he could retreat into the water, the white light was already near. The white light was about to land, but suddenly found a white pupil without clothes. After a moment's pause, Bai Guang quickly turned around and distanced himself from Bai Yitong.
From the appearance of the white light to the moment of turning around, it was only a matter of a moment. Bai Yitong hadn't even understood what had happened. He didn't see until the white light was still. The back of a slender woman in white stood on top of a flying sword.
"Don't put on your clothes yet!"
The woman in white turned her back to Bai Yitong, thinking that she should be frowning and a little unhappy.
"Ah......h
Bai Yitong secretly slapped himself, he quickly turned around, and put on his wet coarse cloth clothes tremblingly. After a long while, the woman in white dropped her flying sword and turned around. Suddenly, a peerless pretty face appeared at the end of Bai Yitong's line of sight.
"You're a monk too, why are you so shameless!"
The woman in white had a cold face, and her brows were still furrowed. However, the way she frowned like this was a little cute. It is this hint of cuteness that makes her cold and glamorous, a little relaxed.
"I ...... No. I'm just a mortal. ”
Bai Yitong was a little incoherent. Growing up so big, he had never seen an immortal cultivator, let alone such a stunning female cultivator.
"How is that possible? how can ordinary mortals hide from my divine sense. ”
"I ...... I don't know. I'm just a mortal. ”
When the woman in white saw Bai Yitong's eyes like this, she stopped talking. It's just that he swept his consciousness towards him. After a while, it was Yu Yu who retracted it. And Bai Yitong was scanned by her divine sense, feeling as if she was seeing through the inside and outside of her body. Although he was a little uncomfortable, he didn't say anything. What else could he say in this case.
