Chapter 75

Hong Chen secretly thought, if Xiaochou is not the knife he is looking for, then it is probably not as good as Xiaochou's knife, let alone Xiaochou's knife. He also remembered that Zhongli had promised to reveal the place where he got the Snake Sword, but he later diverted him away.

The topic changed, and later he ran away. Now I only know that the place is probably in Manzhou, South Vietnam. If you can't find the knife in Dayu, I wonder if you can find it there.

Ji Cha had no idea what Hong Chen was thinking and said to himself: "After we finish going to the Immortal Conference, we can go to Tianjing. It is the most prosperous capital city in the Nine States of the Three Kingdoms. I heard that one palace alone is bigger than many cities.

. Then sneak into the palace and taste

Once you taste the dishes prepared by the imperial chefs. If you are lucky enough to meet that dog emperor, you can go over and kill him with a knife. I will lift the emperor's dog head and sit on the dragon chair. Tsk tsk. The entire Kyushu will be there for another five thousand years.

Everyone will know the name of my tea picker!"

Hong Chen had no interest in killing the emperor. He just smiled and said, "You want to be famous all over the world."

"Isn't that right? Fame is the best thing in the world. No matter whether it's good or bad, someone will always come up with it." Ji Cha became more and more excited as he talked, and even beamed, "No matter how beautiful you are, no matter how rich your family is, if you are not famous

, it will be nothing more than yellow in a few decades

The soil is scratched. No matter how beautiful the tombstone is in front of the grave, if someone comes and smashes it for you, it will become a rubble stone for the steps of other people's houses. Only by becoming famous can the name be engraved in the annals of history and left in the legend.

Hundreds and thousands of years later, there are still people in the world who mention you."

Hong Chen said: "I hope no one knows me. Now I am quite famous, but if I want to go to a crowded place, I have to wear a mask or cover my face. If no one knows me, I will

I can show my real face and go to a stall to slowly eat a bowl of clear soup noodles."

Ji Cha chuckled: "Your pursuit in life is to eat a bowl of noodles."

"The pursuit of life..."

Hong Chen fell into confusion again.

No one has ever mentioned this word to me. When I was in Taoyuan, I just chopped bamboo, fed bamboo rats, fertilized the vegetable fields, exchanged rice with the shopkeeper, and cooked for the master. Everyone in Taoyuan also lived a similar life.

, day after day, day after day.

Before leaving Taoyuan, Hong Chen only thought that he would live the same life for the rest of his life. Until one day, the master built a bamboo raft by the river, let himself stand on it, and then untied the rope that tied the bamboo raft: "When I find that

Take the knife and come back to Taoyuan." Standing on the bamboo raft drifting down, he asked the master loudly: "Knife, what kind of knife is it?" But the master only smiled and said nothing.

So when he first heard the word pursuit of life, Hong Chen first thought of looking for a knife, but then he thought, if looking for a knife is the pursuit of life, after finding the knife, wouldn't there be no pursuit in life? If looking for a knife is not the pursuit of life,

What should your pursuit of life be?

Hong Chen only felt that the troubles he encountered in the past few decades were far more than the previous ten years. When he was in Taoyuan, he only had to follow the master's instructions, chop the bamboos and feed the bamboo rats. The opponents he dealt with every day were mostly snakes and insects.

, the biggest difficulty was encountering an extremely unfriendly seller when grilling bamboo rats.

Yu Qiang. After leaving Taoyuan, he was at a loss when facing the vast world, so he could only steal, rob and kill with a guy who didn't even know his real name. He obviously just wanted to find a knife, but there were countless people who hated him.

Deep into his bones, he fears himself like a tiger and wants to kill himself quickly.

A sense of panic enveloped his heart, suppressing the novelty of traveling around the world and the excitement of doing adventurous things these days. Hong Chen suddenly wanted to go back to Taoyuan and continue to live a boring life, even if he listened to Master say three things every day

It would be much better to help the shopkeeper cut six bundles of bamboo and then be beaten nine times by the fish seller than to continue walking in this strange world.

However, I still think that if I can't find the knife, I won't be able to go back to Taoyuan.

One day later, before the two of them left the market inn, they changed their appearance and attire again. Hong Chen changed into a face that was in his twenties with an unshaven beard, and he was dressed in a gray-blue cotton shorts commonly worn by martial arts masters. Ji Cha

Pretending to be a handsome young man, infrared

He wears a white blouse under his robe and high-waisted white trousers tied up with a gold-patterned leather belt. The further north you go, the colder it gets, and the cooler it gets in autumn. Not only are the clothes on your body much thicker than in summer, but your feet have also been replaced with

Thick-soled black leather boots are convenient for walking on mountain roads filled with sharp rocks.

Tianjing is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the south is a plain, which spans an unknown number of miles with a nine-foot-high city wall. At every city gate, there are fully armed generals and sergeants strictly interrogating everyone who enters the city, regardless of their origins.

No one who is unclear can get through. Therefore, after Hong Chen and Ji Cha arrived at the boundary of Tianjing, they could only abandon their horses and walk through the vast mountains and forests in the east.

The two of them hurried on the road in search of food during the day and took turns to keep watch at night. They walked in the mountains for seven days before arriving at the foot of a bare cliff in the north of the city. A strange bird call came from the sky. Hong Chen raised his head and looked up.

He saw many big birds flying by, and they were arranged in the shape of the Chinese character "human". He was surprised and asked: "What kind of bird is this?"

Ji Cha also looked up and said, "You've never even seen a wild goose?"

Hong Chen suddenly realized: "So these are wild geese. I heard from Master, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. It is said that when the weather turns cold, they will fly from the north to the south to spend the winter. When the next spring, they will fly back from the south.

North. There is also a poem in it. I remember one of the lines is called "Two people fly to the south and north, and the old wings return to the cold and heat several times." It seems to be talking about wild geese."

Ji Cha shook his head and laughed: "You can only remember one word? The first half of it is extremely famous, 'Ask what is love in the world, and tell me whether we are together in life or death? Traveling from all over the world, Lao Yi has been there several times in the cold and summer. Joy and farewell

Suffering, there are even more idiotic children. You should say: Miao

Thousands of miles of clouds and thousands of mountains with dusk snow, who is the shadow going to?' This wild goose is almost the most loving of all birds. If one goose dies, the paired goose will not live alone, and will often die in depression, even more so.

Some even fall to the ground and commit suicide. Among them, infatuation is more powerful than men and women in the world."

Hong Chen suddenly pointed to the top of the cliff: "There is a person there!" Ji Cha looked in the direction and saw a person standing on the steep cliff. His body was dangling and he was about to fall off at any time. He couldn't help but exclaimed in shock: "The goose fell to the ground.

I didn’t see it, but one of the people who fell to the ground is about to fall.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man jumped from the top of the cliff nearly a hundred feet high. When Ji Cha saw this, he jumped up, kicked his feet on the cliff, rushed up a few feet quickly, and then walked sideways.

He jumped and flew right next to the man who fell off the cliff. He pulled hard on the man's waist with his right hand and led the man to spin four times in the air before falling back to the ground.

Hong Chen walked over and saw that the man Ji Cha had rescued was a man in his early thirties, with a square face and a flat nose, of medium height and a little fat. Although his clothes were stained with a lot of dirt, they were of good quality silk and satin. He looked like

He is not a poor man, but his complexion is dark and there is a layer of calluses on his hands.

Ji Cha, however, cursed and said: "His grandma didn't choose a good place to commit suicide. Instead, she jumped off the cliff next to me when I just finished reading "Yanqiu Ci". It was like I encouraged you to commit suicide." Man.

His face was dark: "Hero, what are you doing to save me? Just let me die." Ji Cha spat: "Damn it, I'm so happy today. If you fall into a pile of rotten flesh next to me, I'll see

Wouldn’t it be a disappointment?”

The man turned around and left. Ji Cha immediately stopped and said, "Stop! What are you doing?" The man stopped, turned around, and said sadly: "If you don't want to dirty the hero's eyes, stay away from death."

"I asked, why do you want to die?" Ji Cha asked, "Are you following the example of Hongyan and dying for love?"

The man shook his head and said: "Although it is related to love, it is not a sacrifice for love."

Ji Cha said with a look of understanding: "Then I understand. Your wife must have run away with someone else. You have lost your master and you don't want to live."

The man said: "That's not the case. She is not my wife yet, but she is determined to push me to death. I have no choice but to die."

"This is strange. You don't look like a pauper. How can you let a girl be forced to death?" Ji Cha asked curiously, "This is the first time I have seen such a thing in my life. Carefully

Come and listen."

Hong Chen said: "This is my private matter. I definitely don't want to mention it. Just stop asking."

Ji Cha thought for a while and said: "That's right, forget it, never mind. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me whether you live or die." Then he said to Hong Chen: "Let's go, let's go,

His good mood has completely disappeared, which is really unlucky for his grandma."

Hong Chen said to the man: "Brother, although I don't know what you have been through, I think it is not incomprehensible for a person to choose to die if he can no longer find any happiness in the world. But in the choice

Before you die, you should also think about whether there is anything in the world that is worthy of your nostalgia."

The man who had always looked numb suddenly turned red after hearing Hong Chen's words: "Why is there nothing in the world that I miss? I have parents, close friends, and many unforged weapons... If there are other choices,

How could I commit suicide?"

"What? You can also forge weapons?" Ji Cha was about to drag Hong Chen away, but when he heard this, he stopped and looked at the man suspiciously, "Are you a blacksmith?"

"Blacksmith? That's right." The man laughed at himself, "In Tianjing, people like me are called weaponsmiths. I have become a little famous in recent years, and many military attaches will ask me to forge weapons. Maybe you have heard of me.

Name - Su Liangjing."

"Never heard of it." Ji Cha said simply, "But since you are a weapon maker, how about you help me forge a weapon in order to repay my kindness for saving your life just now?"

Hong Chen thought to himself: You don't pick a person at any time when you want to repay a favor? This person is looking for death. Is he in the mood to build weapons for you?

Su Liangjing froze on the spot for several breaths, then nodded and said: "Anyway, I am about to die, so I am satisfied that I can forge one more time before I die. But there are no tools and materials in the deep mountains and forests..."

Ji Cha interrupted: "You can find the tools at any blacksmith shop outside. I have the materials with me. But before that, I have to pick up something. That thing is back at the White Horse Temple in Yanshan. You

Since he is from Tianjing, he must be more familiar with the terrain in this area than we are, so let’s help lead the way first.”
