The summer of the 3933rd year of the Daoli period was hotter than in previous years.
The wind blowing towards me seemed to have rolled through the steamer hundreds of times.
Sweat left salt on the face.
"Lao Quan" licked his lips dryly, and was so salty that he thought it was tears.
He pushed a wheelbarrow and walked slowly on the official road. The sun spread a poor cake with his shadow.
A little girl with a braid was walking on this uneasy cake.
There are bags piled up on the left of the wheelbarrow and a depressed old yellow dog piled up on the right.
Fortunately, the official road was still flat, and he was wandering for several months, and he had some strength to endure hardships.
"You are so powerful that you can't even walk by yourself, and you're pushing the dog away. You think that the dog is more valuable than the human being." The passerby pointed and pointed.
Lao Quan habitually laughed at everyone: "This old dog is going to die of old age."
Passers-by who left behind the guidance had already walked away from the broken path.
He also habitually explained to a sentence: "Call it to rest."
Living too tiring!
The old yellow dog was too lazy to roll his eyes.
"Ni'er. Are you tired?" Lao Quan turned around and asked with a smile: "Do you want to come up and take a rest?"
Ni'er glanced at him and continued to walk in the shadows.
Nier was probably a mute, and Lao Quan didn't remember it very much. His job was just to attract guests in the front hall, and he was not responsible for teaching girls, and he didn't have so many opportunities to contact him.
Anyway, he had never heard Ni'er speak, nor did he know Ni'er's name.
The little girls raised in the Sanfen Xiang Building in Shangqiu City were only named until they were fifteen years old. The past names had long lost their meaning in the day after day. A nice flower name is beneficial to business.
The girls in the building even have hair. Of course, the names are.
Although he adopted Ni'er, he did not name Ni'er, but only Ni'er.
Because he is a turtle man, he gave the name to give the prostitute a life.
The Sanfen Xiangqiu Building in Shangqiu City was destroyed by a bizarre fire.
Everyone, including Cheng Fengxiang, disappeared.
Lao Quan was awakened by the wild barking of Dahuang in his sleep. His inexplicable palpitations told him to go out to Baihua Street. As he walked, he ran, and then saw the fire stretching halfway through the street.
Not only Sanfen Xiangqi Building, but also several famous brothels on Baihua Street, are all drawn into the sea of ​​fire together.
Although the monks from the Martial Arts Institute rushed to extinguish the fire, the fire burning karma had already happened before the flames were seen. So when the official staff arrived, nothing was left.
He was already walking back in dismay, but he was still rushing into the ruins of the fire. He somehow picked up a little girl in the dark. The beast was so powerful that he had raised this little girl in the Sanfen Xiang Building, so he adopted it - Ni'er.
There are many different opinions about the cause of this accident, and there is no accurate number.
Some people say that it was because the young master of the Chen family was jealous of people on Baihua Street all day long, and the old-fashioned Chen family couldn't stand it, so they burned Xianglou with fire.
Some say it was because of the anger of the Yin family. Since Yin Wenyong abandoned Ming and left home, the Yin family has been disgusted with brothels in China and has to deal with it from time to time.
Some people also say that the enemy from Sanfen Xiangqi Tower came to the door...
But no matter which statement is, it makes Lao Quanquan scared.
And life is always stricter than fear.
The fire on Baihua Street burned out the bright lights and wine and his life.
He, the versatile and versatile man, lost his job and realized that he did not have any ability to make a living.
There is no place for him in the newly built Baihua Street.
Even if it is a job that sells dignity, this world needs to give you opportunities.
After living a period of savings in the past, he found a way to please others and took a job as an updater. He was about to start a new life when he accidentally heard someone looking for a survivor from Sanfen Xiangqi Building on Baihua Street...
So he packed up his bag overnight and ran away with the old dog and Ni'er.
He never thought of leaving Shangqiu, let alone leaving Song State. But after choosing to escape, he suddenly remembered his youthful dream in his at a loss-
At that time, he wanted to be admitted to Longmen Academy, and to go to the Central Region to see the center of the world, the legendary Tianjing City, where the sun is always hanging.
I yearn for Longmen Academy, of course, I don’t like reading, but I just want to skip Longmen, complete my life transformation, and become a dragon and phoenix among people. I also plan to watch Hetai to compete for swordsmanship! I have hesitated for a long time between the inner court and the outer court.
The reality is that he can only be a turtle man.
At nearly fifty years old, he had long realized his mediocrity and knew that he was not qualified to get close to the dragon gate. However, he still had the luxury of happiness in his mind. He also wanted to go to Zhongyu to take a look and take a walk, and want to know what the real prosperity looked like.
Then he pushed the wheelbarrow and started the biggest adventure of his life.
The destination of this trip is the Central Region. It is best to go to Jingguo. You can also stay in other places in the Central Region. The central region is rich in the world, and I think they will not be missing a bite of food.
From Song State to Zhongdi, he chose to walk towards Longmen Academy, pass by Baxia Bridge, and cross the long river.
Thanks to the great Lieshan Emperor, he built such a stable bridge without charging any fees. From then on, mortals could communicate on both sides of the Long River.
Stirring, mobilizing.
The wheel rolled on the road, and his voice rolled in the ears of the little girl and the old yellow dog - when there was no one, Lao Quan would talk.
"Since Miss Qiongzhi went to the main building, she said she was going to be a fragrant beauty. I always think something might happen."
"It's just a feeling...you know?"
There was a wood on the side of the road. He quickly pushed the wheelbarrow in and leaned against the tree and parked it.
I simply put my feet on the leaves before I picked up the old yellow dog from the car and placed it on the pile of leaves.
He took out a sealed bamboo tube from his bag, uncovered the lid, and handed it to the little girl with a smile: "Ni'er, drink some water."
The little girl with pigtails had a dirty look on her face.
It’s not that Lao Quan was lazy and refused to wash her face, but that the journey was long and for safety reasons.
Ni'er glanced at him, took the bamboo tube and drank two sips.
Lao Quan took the bamboo tube back, poured some water into the bamboo cover, took a sip of it himself, and handed it to the old yellow dog: "Drink some?"
The old dog closed his eyelids and was too lazy to pay attention to it.
Lao Quan looked at him happily and handed forward diligently: "Be good, drink some water. Whose dog is so obedient? Let me see, whose dog loves drinking water so much?"
Ni'er didn't see it. She turned her head, afraid that she wouldn't help laughing.
The old yellow dog was cruel and cruel, without opening his eyes, and his tongue was just rolled up, so he drank the little water.
Lao Quan licked his chapped lips and covered him with a bamboo tube.
I can't drink water, and I can't die of thirst by leaning against the long river. But there are only a few water bags carrying the car, so it's not easy to get thirsty to Ni'er, she's too young, and it's not easy to get thirsty to the old dog, it's too old.
"I feel that Miss Qiongzhi is our blessing anyway. When she leaves, our blessing will be gone. I was still very uncomfortable at that time because no courtesan is as kind as her and would care about us."
He started talking again.
Ni'er was already squatting there and playing with ants. She would remove the ant's legs one by one and watch the ant's torso shake hard.
The old dog started snoring.
"Miss Qiongzhi saved you, you, an old dog with no conscience. When she left, she didn't see you yelling twice, and she felt sad."
Lao Quan scolded the old yellow dog and wanted to beat him, but he couldn't do it in the end and said angrily: "Old dog!"
No one pays attention to him.
The dog ignored him.
He looked down at his hands, and his hands that were well maintained forward were now cracked and calloused.
He said to himself: "A old sword that beat eight is dead, the immortal Cheng Fengxiang dies, and so many beautiful girls are gone."
"There is only me who is a coward, and God will make me survive. Is there always a reason?"
He looked at Ni'er and then at the old dog.
I thought that's probably the reason.
If he is gone, how can this mute girl and old dog live?
"There must be a way to cure Ni'er in the Central Region? I just don't know how much you need to save to cure."
"Darhuang, when you arrive in the Central Region, you can live a few more years. But you are so old and you won't be sad if you die. I will bury you and will not ask others to eat your meat."
What is the difference between being eaten by someone and being eaten by insects in mud?
The person who is the most incomprehensible person in his life was Yan Chunhui before, but now he is this old turtle man. How can humans be so inexplicable?
"Hey, when I arrived in the Central Region, I want to eat wealthy cakes..." Lao Quan was still talking.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound, and he immediately sewed his mouth, squatted down, leaning honestly behind the tree.
It was not the thunder that rumbling was thunder, but the horse's hooves as thick as bowls hit the road.
Two teams of pioneer knights wearing gorgeous armor flew past like lightning, followed by a luxurious carriage like a moving palace. The air was steaming for thousands of miles, the sea of ​​clouds was like a dream. The vast convoy surrounded the Shenxiao Phoenix Flag, walking past like a long dragon.
In the vision of mortals, it seems that a brilliant dream of the world is blooming.
After a long time, Lao Quan closed his unconscious mouth.
"Ah...oh!" He woke up as if he was dreaming: "I said why is this official road so easy to walk on? I remembered that this is the road to Guanhetai!"
"This year's Yellow River Meeting... has begun!"
Of course, the Song State is closer to Guanhetai, but the Song State is not qualified to send such a long guard of honor to Guanhetai. There are only six overlords in the world who can be allowed to show the specifications of a thousand-person guard of honor on Guanhetai.
Further down there are the specifications of a hundred people.
When the Sanfen Xiangqiu Tower in Shangqiu was still there, Lao Quan heard the guests say that Li State seemed to be making a ceremonial war and went to Xingyueyuan several times. But it was not convenient for Mr. Jiang Ge to make a decision. How could he ask someone outside the national system to tear apart the status of the world? This is really unfair...
"Why are the people of Chu so rich? They put all their money on them? They don't sprinkle them along the way."
"Do you know the Yellow River Meeting... The Yellow River Meeting?" Lao Quan only had such a great desire to express himself in front of Lao Gou and Yan Ni, as if he was going to finish his words for the man and dog who could not speak.
"Zhenhe Zhenjun became famous on this."
"I heard that he... cut the referee away with one sword. That's so powerful. The Dragon Lord of Changhe was injured because of this. Oh, he was injured by accident! Later, he was attacked by the sea clan and died so miserably. The dragon blood dyed the Douge Master's clothes red."
What do you think of this... The old yellow dog got up and shook the leaves on his body.
Old all-round surprise: "Hello, Dahuang?"
I've never been sick and I'm too lazy to walk.
In the direction of Guanhetai, the old yellow dog yelled, showing the interest of a dog.
Lao Quan was silent, but his heart was beating like a drum.
In such a glorious world, a time of genius and glory. An ordinary person's meeting of the Yellow River...
Even if you just take a look, this life will be enough.
"Watching the river platform...the world's number one...want to go and see it, Ni'er?" he asked.
Ni'er thought about it with her braid and nodded seriously.
"But we definitely can't get up. We can only walk around and see all the heroes participating in the competition..." As he said that, Lao Quan had an idea: "Can we sell some dried fruits and tea near Guanhetai!"
"So many people participate, and one person takes care of a little business, we will get rich. In the future, we will go to Zhongyu to have a good time and have a good time and drink spicy food!"
Of course he knew that the more profitable the business, the less he was. It seemed that a country specialized in doing this... but the verbal happiness was also very happy.
He became more and more excited as he spoke, and quickly pushed the wheelbarrow out, pointing forward with a thrilling spirit, as if he was also pointing his sword at the Guanhetai: "Get on the car! Let's go! Watch the Hetai!"
In the end, Ni'er and the old yellow dog both left by themselves.
...
...
An old man who is used to laughing flatteringly and looks more vicissitudes than his actual age, a little girl who is too ugly, an old dog with weak energy, a wheelbarrow that is about to fall apart at any time... a forest of unremarkable kindness.
This is an ordinary glance from the scenery along the way, embedded in Wu Sheng's red eyes.
It passed in a flash.
"Don't use the pupil technique too much to consume the soul." Qu Shunhua's voice sounded in front of him.
The carriage looks luxurious and spacious outside, and the inside of the carriage is even more magnificent.
Wu Sheng was actually sitting in the corner and glancing out the window.
The beautiful woman in the Qu family was sitting on a larger observation deck and looking at a spread out map—
You don’t have to read Wu Sheng to know that that is all his practice materials.
The body is exquisite and gorgeous, and the armor is decorated with wind feathers, which shows Qu Shunhua's identity this time - the leader of the Chu State of the State of Chu at this Yellow River Meeting.
The position of the Yellow River team leader is usually to allow experienced and older people to take on the role.
Qu Shunhua is still very young and has not been able to become a real person for a long time. In fact, it is not suitable for this position...
Who asked the referee who presided over this Yellow River Meeting is Jiang Zhenjun!
A man in a water-blue robe was sitting in front of General Qu, boiling a pot of jade spring water and making tea gracefully.
He is twenty-nine years old this year and is just stuck at the unlimited threshold under the age of thirty. He is the undisputed finale of the Chu State.
The reason for specifically emphasizing this "indisputable" is to be emphasized.
It's because Wu Sheng is not like this.
The blood in his pupils trembled, causing him to feel ache.
He actually does not have the repressive strength of the last time in the outer hall.
Of course he is excellent enough to represent Chu State in the outer hall, but there are still candidates in China who are similar to him... The selection before departure was actually a draw.
He relied entirely on the foundation of the Wu family and had a slight advantage in blood and energy, so he saved one more breath.
But this advantage is that as long as the opponent enters the Yellow River Association's preparation list, the Chu State official will be able to make up for it on the same day.
He knew very well that the quota was finally settled on him. His Majesty ignored the controversy of "re-match", because it was entirely for the dead Wu Ling, and used this opportunity to "leap the dragon gate" to give the Wu family a compensation.
The other branch of his family was able to enter the genealogy of the head of the family because of Wu Ling's death.
And after getting all this, he must prove that he is worth it.
That's why he worked so hard, and he worked hard to practice while rushing, so that his soul was damaged.
"It's okay," he explained: "For this small problem, just eat a yellow pill."
Huang Dan is an alias for "Sacred Soul Pill".
The development of Yuanshi Dan Alliance is changing with each passing day, especially in the past two years, it has made great breakthroughs in nourishing the spirit and benefiting the soul. The State of Chu, which occupies a huge share of the Yuanshi Dan Alliance, naturally shared this fruit.
"Your task now is not to practice." Qu Shunhua looked at it lightly, his voice was beautiful, but he could not be disobeyed: "It's rest."
On the opposite side of the windowsill, Zhuge Zuo was sitting quietly reading a book, immersed in his own world, motionless.
Wu Sheng had his own idea and opened his mouth.
Then he heard Zuo Guangshu say, "Drink tea, drink tea."
The noble young master laughed warmly: "The summer is hot, so drink a cup of Qingxin tea."
The other two firecrackers flew towards Zhuge Zuo and Wu Sheng like firecrackers.
He gently pushed the teacup forward with great gentleness and called out: "General Qu."
Wu Sheng caught the hidden weapon, shut up and turned his head.
What is the meeting of the Yellow River?
The leader is Qu Shunhua.
The finale is Zuo Guangshu.
Chapter completed!
