Chapter 2 There Are Still Sword Immortals in Shenzhou
Dongsheng Shenzhou, Great Qin Empire, Taidong Province, Ninghai High-tech Zone.
Due to the blockade of information by the high-level officials of the empire, the arrival of Thanatos did not cause much panic. Even though many people saw the light reflected by the asteroid, they only thought that it was another astronomical event that occurs once in a hundred years. They just waited.
Official explanation later.
Except for a few elites who were protected in temporary air defense facilities, ordinary people still lived a normal life.
On the seaside, near the CBD area, on the 4th Science and Technology Road along the coast, eight or nine stalls were placed here, forming a small night market. The first batch of migrant workers after work were in front of the stalls choosing their dinner for the day.
"Boss, how much does gluten cost? Does it heal quickly?"
In front of the fried skewers stall with the word "Lao Liu" written on it, a young girl wearing a light yellow down jacket picked up a silver iron plate covered with a plastic bag and selected the skewers.
"Gluten costs three yuan a piece and five yuan each, and you can take it away in a moment!"
A young man in his twenties wiped the sweat from his head and handed the fried skewers bag to a girl in a red down jacket while answering.
It was March 9 and the winter in the north was bitingly cold, but he did not wear a cotton coat, but a light sportswear. The movements of his hands were focused and efficient, dealing with multiple customers, busy and unhurried.
"Boss, why didn't the beautiful boss lady come today?"
The girl in red who took the skewer smiled and asked narrowly.
Upon hearing this, the regular customers around him laughed and looked over.
With a smile on his face, the young man pointed upward and said, "She, she went to heaven to kill monsters! I heard she killed a god of death."
The regular customers all said "Huh...", and one or two even leaned back to make fun of him.
"Boss, I'm not telling you, if I want to have a wife like this, why should I fry skewers? Go home and give birth to a monkey!"
A male customer approached the stall and showed an expression that all men understand.
The girl in red blushed, but only the girl in yellow really looked up to the sky.
She suddenly opened her mouth wide and was so shocked that she dropped the plate in her hand.
"Look, you..."
She wanted to make a sound, but she was surprised to find that she couldn't say anything.
At the same time, the young man took out a bunch of grilled mushrooms and handed them to the girl in yellow.
The girl in yellow took the skewer in a daze, and instantly forgot what she wanted to do. She just looked at the mushrooms in her hand and was very confused. She seemed to want to eat gluten, so why did she get the mushrooms?
"I also want to eat and wait until death, but who told her that she wants too much in that regard, and she can't live without frying skewers."
The young man chuckled and looked up at the sky.
Under the setting sun, a white spot of light was falling from high in the sky. It was a woman holding a sword. The woman's hair and clothes were scattered by the wind.
Falling from a high altitude was obviously extremely dangerous, but there was only coldness and determination in her eyes, without any trace of fear.
She looked at the guy who was frying skewers and asked, "Lu Li? Why did you connect to the space station?"
Thousands of meters apart, her words seemed to appear in the ears of a young man named Lu Li.
The amazing thing is that no matter the surrounding customers, stall owners, or vehicles coming and going, no one seemed to notice the figure falling from the sky. Everyone was doing their own thing, and no one looked at the sky.
The girl in yellow also walked to the stone embankment by the sea and sat down, eating fried mushrooms contentedly.
Lu Li chuckled, then lowered his head and started working on his own fried skewers. Three skewers of small fish in a pot had been fried until golden brown.
"I still have a few skewers that I haven't finished frying yet. I'll pick you up after I finish."
He brushed hot sauce on two skewers of gluten and said, "You have no spiritual power, right? The plan said that you will come back after cutting it. You have to go to the space station to save people before you run out of spiritual power. Do you blame me?"
The woman in the air fell silent.
Lu Li turned the little fish over without raising his head.
"Xuanyuan Yixi, are you thinking that you have been killing gods and Buddhas all your life, so why did you meet someone like me three years ago?"
"without."
"If you fall from such a height, the Sword Immortal's physique will be seriously injured."
Xuanyuan Yixi pursed his lips and said nothing.
The small fish were brushed with sweet noodle sauce, Lu Li bagged them and handed them to a male customer.
Five hundred meters, three hundred meters...
The further they landed, the more they could see that Xuanyuan Yixi's landing point was far away from Lu Li's stall, and he fell straight towards the sea water next to him.
But even so, Xuanyuan Yixi did not ask for help, as if he had already acquiesced in the outcome of falling into the sea and being seriously injured.
Just when she was only 200 meters away from the ground, Lu Li suddenly bent down and picked up the silver iron plate that the girl in yellow had dropped on the ground.
"You are not an intercontinental missile. How could you land so accurately without leaving any spiritual energy behind when you come down from space?"
With a cynical smile on his lips, Lu Li waved to other customers and said, "Everyone, wait a moment. The girl just forgot to take out two strings of gluten. I'll go deliver them and I'll be right back."
After saying that, he turned around and left. At an angle where others could not see him, he threw the iron plate forward.
The iron plate flew straight at an extremely fast speed and appeared exactly where Xuanyuan Yixi had fallen. The iron plate emitted a soft light and slowly held her up, stopping about two meters away from the sea.
Already.
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief. He was just about to say a cool line, but he didn't expect that the potential energy of falling from a high altitude was too great. His iron plate only offset most of the potential energy, but it was still shattered.
"Ahem? Honey, do you need to lose weight?"
Lu Li stared dumbfounded as Xuanyuan Yixi fell into the sea with a groan. Fortunately, at this height, there was no danger.
But the moment he entered the water, it was as if the forbidden spell was lifted, and people around him could also observe Xuanyuan Yixi falling into the water.
"Who, what? Don't scare the crowd!"
All the fishermen on the beach exclaimed.
Not long after, a sword was thrown to the shore, startling them again.
When they saw a woman with long hair in white clothes climbing out of the sea, they hurriedly gathered around and asked, "What's going on? Is anyone diving?"
"It's gone, let's go. It's okay, it's okay. This is my girlfriend, she likes swimming in the sea."
Lu Li dismissed the crowd and stretched out his hand to pull Xuanyuan Yixi up the stone embankment.
Xuanyuan Yixi looked at himself who was soaked, and his face was calm. He picked up the sword and put it on his back, and pushed his wet long hair back.
She was dressed in plain white clothes, which were obviously ordinary styles of this era, but they looked out of place with the times when she was wearing them, as if she was a fairy who had come out of the world, or an elf who was wandering outside the world.
Lu Li chuckled and handed her a towel and a headband. The towels were neatly taken out and the headband was of a new style, so they were obviously ready.
He knew that Xuanyuan Yixi's clothes were not ordinary and would dry quickly, but her spiritual power was exhausted and her hair could not be dried.
"The sea water is cold, please wipe it off." Lu Li said.
Xuanyuan Yixi was silent for a while, only taking the towel to wipe his face and head, without taking the hair tie.
Suddenly, another female voice sounded: "Lu Li, look at your skills, you can pick up people crookedly! Have you finished grilling your skewers?"
If anyone came close to watch, they would be frightened because the sound was coming from the sword behind Xuanyuan Yixi's back.
Lu Li was not surprised, and said in a familiar tone: "Xiaojiu, I have four gluten, one mushroom, four vegetable skewers, and three mutton skewers. This order costs more than 20 yuan."
"Bah, bah, bah, my master cut off a planet with one sword and saved the whole world. You just let my master fall into the sea for a piece of twenty dollars?"
Lu Li ignored her and raised the headband in his hand, indicating that he had actually been prepared for Xuanyuan Yixi to fall into the water.
He saw people starting to gather at the stall again, so he turned around and went back, not forgetting to pass two pieces of gluten to the girl in yellow who had just finished eating fried mushrooms.
The girl in yellow took it ignorantly and continued to eat happily.
"How happy it is to be a simple foodie!" Lu Li quietly took off a small talisman drawn on a napkin from his sister's wrist and walked towards the night market.
When you were happily eating fried skewers on the roadside, someone blocked the most dangerous end of the world for you.
Some people break through the sky for you and fall into the sea again.
That retrograde motion towards the asteroid is the most gorgeous scenery on this planet.
And you are so well protected by these heroes that you don't even know what happened.
Xuanyuan recalled that she was the last recorded sword fairy in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and she was responsible for guarding Dongsheng Shenzhou from demons and protecting the aura eyes.
But because spiritual energy is thin nowadays, the power of Xuanyuan Yixi will be less after one use.
Lu Li, on the other hand, comes from a hidden sect that has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.
Over the past thousands of years, as the spiritual energy has become increasingly thinner, Lu Li's sect has cut off many inheritances, but it still retains the tradition of each generation of disciples entering the world to practice.
The mission Lu Li received from his master was to set up a stall in the mortal world for five years. During these five years, he had to put aside his distracting thoughts and support himself by setting up a stall.
After five years of joining the world, you can go back to accept the remaining sect inheritance and unlock the secret of Lu Li's life experience.
The unscrupulous master gave him a shabby stall truck and threw him alone in Ninghai City.
Unexpectedly, the moment he set up a fried skewers stall in Ninghai City, the spiritual energy in his body began to awaken, and Blue Star's spiritual energy also formed an eye of spiritual energy centered on Lu Li and the stall.
In accordance with his duties, Xuanyuan Yixi descended from the sky to find him and followed him.
After awakening, Lu Li was able to see the spiritual energy veins between heaven and earth. After being nourished by the spiritual energy, his physique, thinking, and perception abilities all improved rapidly, and he gained great benefits.
In the past three years, due to the emergence of the Eye of Spiritual Energy, the spiritual energy in the world began to revive, and supernatural events became more and more frequent. Some ordinary people began to awaken, and gods and demons from all continents felt the revival of spiritual energy and were ready to take action.
There are only two years left before Lu Li's five-year journey to join the world.
However, three days ago, Xuanyuan Yixi suddenly felt a call from the royal family of the Qin Empire: an asteroid was about to hit the Blue Star.
Lu Li understood that the strange movements of the gods and demons could no longer be suppressed.
He carefully considered and designed an action plan for Xuanyuan Yixi to go to outer space and destroy an asteroid with a sword. Unexpectedly, at the end of the plan, Xuanyuan Yixi exhausted his spiritual energy in order to protect the space station, so he had the object that fell from the sky before.
That scene.
At this moment, the female swordswoman who could smash an asteroid with one sword was following behind Lu Li. The woman's long hair was fluttering in the wind, and the man put his hands in his pockets and hummed softly.
The two people, one behind the other, had two long silhouettes illuminated by the winter sunset on the beach.
"Honey, when you sword immortals traveled, did you really have a heavenly dragon riding on you and ten thousand swords following you?" Lu Li asked.
Xuanyuan Yixi thought of long-lasting memories, and after a while, he replied: "I don't need to lose weight."
What?
Lu Li was stunned, you reflex arc, are you still thinking about what happened a few minutes ago?
"Don't call me wife." Xuanyuan Yixi added.
"Okay, wife." Lu Li chuckled, and like a magic trick, he took out a bag of fried skewers, which Xuanyuan Yixi had fried just before he landed. It turned out that he was not late because of the 20 yuan deep-fried skewers.
"I have been abstinent for many years."
Xuanyuan Yixi looked away.
"You have exhausted your spiritual energy now, and Bigu no longer works. You should be hungry by now, right?"
"I'm not hungry."
Lu Li couldn't help but put the skewers directly into her hand: "Eat it, it will replenish your spiritual energy."
Xuanyuan Yixi looked at it with his spiritual vision. Each of these fried skewers contained rich spiritual energy. Eating them would indeed help replenish spiritual energy.
She hesitated for a moment, then sat on a small plastic stool next to the stall and started eating.
The fish tofu is so delicious.
Xuanyuan Yixi Gujing Wubo's face revealed a hint of satisfaction.
Soon, there were more than a dozen bamboo sticks piled up around her.
Lu Li secretly gave himself a thumbs up: Progress 1 of conquering the Female Sword Fairy!
If you want to keep a woman, you must capture her stomach, perfect.
Xiaojiu hummed in a low voice: "Scheming stall owner, master, don't be deceived by him!"
"What do you know? This is called the Law of True Fragrance. Let's start the fried skewers!"
Lu Li continued to work, and a large number of customers gathered in front of Laoliu Fried Skewers Shop.
Xuanyuan Yixi also helped with the work. She picked up a bamboo stick and skewered every five pieces of fish and tofu into strings with skillful movements.
Having such a beautiful woman here attracts attention from time to time. Not to mention men, even women will look at her twice.
You can't eat them because you're beautiful, but they can help customers eat!
Lu Li's stall has naturally become the brightest spot in the entire night market.
"Xiaoxin has received 15 yuan!"
"Zhi Ling Bao has arrived at 19 yuan!"
…
The sound of payment kept ringing, Lu Li was very satisfied, our waitress has a golden sign!
He took a sneak peek and saw Xuanyuan Yixi eating the fried skewers next to her while threading the skewers. Sometimes she would calm down and use her spiritual vision to feel if anyone saw her eating.
She chewed in small bites, her movements were very graceful, but very fast. At first, she couldn't thread the skewers as fast as she could eat. Later, when she ate too much, she wiped her mouth gently with a napkin and started threading the skewers seriously as if nothing had happened.
Lu Li took a photo of Zhang Xuanyuan Yixi seriously dressing up and sent him a number.
After a while, a phone call came, and an old but energetic voice came from the other end: "You bastard! Sword Fairy, she has paid so much for Dongsheng Shenzhou, and you actually asked her to string fish for you at the night market.
Tofu?"
Lu Li put the phone away and said, "Mr. Xiao, please calm down. Jianxian doesn't just skewer fish and tofu, she also skewers steamed bun slices and chicken steaks."
On the other end of the phone was Professor Xiao Jingtang who had finished reporting at the Four Continents Alliance.
"Go away! Brat, you asked me to help you connect to the space station and tell me your real name. What is your next plan?" Xiao Jingtang was furious. If the 5g signal could spread anger, Lu Li might have been burned to death by Xiao Jingtang's anger.
"The next step, of course, is to expand the fried skewers stall into a grilled skewers and fried skewers service. It would be perfect if I could have some beer. Isn't it the mission you and my master chose for me to join the WTO?" Lu Li said with a smile.
Xiao Jingtang got angry and cursed again. Lu Li took the phone farther away. After his anger subsided, he smiled, took the phone back and said into the receiver: "Okay, Mr. Xiao, no more joking, my next step is of course
We found the gods and demons who summoned the asteroid. These lunatics don’t take human life seriously, and use this natural disaster-like method to force the Sword Immortal out, hoping to exhaust the Sword Immortal’s spiritual power.”
Lu Li snorted, his eyes flickering: "I want to tell them that this is the Dongsheng Divine Continent and the Great Qin Empire. Whoever plans to come here must be prepared to die without a burial place."
A sword alone can protect ninety thousand miles, but there are still sword immortals in Shenzhou.
This divine continent is still guarded by the Sword Immortal.
But not only Sword Immortal is here, but I, Lu Li, is also here.
There are still two years left for me to enter the world and practice cultivation. Let me use these two years to settle accounts with these gods and demons.
When he said this, his eyes were fixed on a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes walking from the beach.
