Chapter 2 Downhill

On the road, a middle-aged man and a young man were sitting in the same car. He originally wanted to chat with the young man and enhance their relationship. However, he usually held a high position and was only flattered by others. He thought he was just a talker.

I'm a veteran of this topic, but after holding it in for a long time, I couldn't find a topic.

At the moment of embarrassment, the young man spoke to break the deadlock.

I saw him exhaling and withdrawing his energy, slowly opening his eyes, his momentum flashed away, and he gradually returned to calm.

"We should be there soon, right?"

"Yes, the mountain road here is not easy to walk. At the current speed, it will take about half an hour to enter the city."

The closer it gets, the more nervous the middle-aged man becomes. Although the old god's disciples are accompanying him, he is not sure whether he can completely solve the problem.

In the distance, tall buildings have appeared in front of you. From a distance, they look towering and tall, standing on the ground like giant steel beasts with teeth and claws.

The young man pretended to be serious and just looked sideways at the scenery passing by him, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

"Why is the outside world different from what the old man said?" The young man thought silently, but was too embarrassed to ask. For a young man who has been living in the mountains, apart from the old man telling him about the outside world, he could not even obtain information.

There are no channels for it, how could you not be curious about what it is like outside.

"Squeak."

Not long after, the car stopped in front of a manor. The door opened, and what came into view was a large black iron gate. The white courtyard wall was as high as the gate, and there was a security net on it. Those who didn't know better thought it was a prison.

.

The middle-aged man walked up to the young man: "Little Master, I invite you here today mainly because we have encountered some troubles recently. I don't know where to find the master. Li Lin went to test it out, and he was no match at all. And the Li family also

If we are being restrained, we can no longer send experts over, so I can only ask you to help."

After saying that, he hugged his fist and performed a Jianghu salute.

The young man glanced sideways at Li Lin behind him, "It's just this kind of stuff, no matter how much you get, it's useless."

"You!" Li Lin was furious in an instant. This kid said that he was trash, and it couldn't be described as an insult to him.

The middle-aged man grabbed Li Lin, who was about to take action, shook his head, and followed the young man into the manor.

It looks like an ordinary house from the outside, but once you enter, it is a magical place. The wall surrounds a large lawn, and a few maple trees are dotted among it. Although it is not arranged according to Taoist formations, there are some Feng Shui allusions revealed in it.

An old man stood in front of a small building in the manor in the distance, holding a gold-encrusted crutch in both hands. The young man could tell at a glance that it was a staff sword, and the slightest hint of sword energy emanating from it made people shudder.

At this time, the old man also saw a few people returning. In the crowd, apart from the middle-aged man and Li Lin, who was still walking with a slight limp, a young man caught his attention.

This young man is about eighteen or nineteen years old. He is not too tall, about 1.8 meters tall. He is wearing a green gown that has been washed and turned white. He is slightly thin. He has a wooden hairpin on his head to tie his long hair.

Together, the delicate face is dotted with a newly sprouted beard, and the eyes have a hint of cynicism, as if they don't care about everything happening around them.

"Fourth, you are back, have you asked the old gods to help?" Although he did not see the old man in the team, the old man still asked with a glimmer of hope.

"Dad, the old god has not been involved in worldly affairs for many years, and I have never invited him." After saying that, the fourth son of the Zhou family, the middle-aged man, shook his head with regret on his face.

"Have you ever given the token to him?" The old man asked hurriedly without giving up.

"The messenger handed it over, but the old man still didn't come down the mountain."

"What should we do?" The old man staggered and quickly used the crutch in his hand to support his body.

The fourth son of the Zhou family hurriedly stepped forward and supported the old man, "Dad, don't worry. Although the old god didn't come, we have invited his disciples to come down the mountain to sit in the battle this time. We think our chances of winning should be better."

"Oh?" The old man looked along the crowd and seemed to have guessed the young man's identity, "Is this the young man you are talking about?"

Seeing that someone finally noticed him, the young man took two steps forward and cupped his hand, "I'm Xiu Wen in Xian. I'm here to help you on the orders of my master. If you have any trouble, just tell me and I'll help you solve it." "

The boy's original name was Shen Xiuwen. At this time, he was full of infinite curiosity about the outside world and he stepped forward and spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer came from the room: "Humph, what a loud tone!"

I saw a young man in a white suit walking out, holding a wine glass and shaking it slowly.

Shen Xiuwen knew who this guy was at a glance. He had a high forehead, dark circles under his eyes like a panda's, and deep-set cheeks. He had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, which was a bit unreasonable. This kid, at first glance, looked like he was drunk and drunk. Otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

"Zhou Jun, don't be unreasonable!" the old man scolded softly, but he did not mean to blame at all. Zhou Jun is the strongest person in the Zhou family besides himself, and to a large extent can be said to be the next head of the Zhou family.

At the same time, the old man also had resentment in his heart. The jade pendant left by his ancestors was said to be able to ask the old god to help him once. Such a precious token of human kindness was only exchanged for a half-year-old boy, which made no one feel comfortable.

Shen Xiuwen also saw the meaning of this, with a playful smile on his lips, and then said to the old man, "Mr. What does this mean? Master, he is very old. Although I am young, I should know a lot about it." There are quite a lot of them. As for the troubles you mentioned, I dare not talk about the rest. As long as someone dares to use force, I will take it on myself."

Shen Xiuwen was very confident. He knew his strength well. Although he had never seen the enemies of the Zhou family, since his master asked him to go down the mountain, he must have believed that he could solve them.

"Little Master, my Zhou family has inherited hundreds of years to achieve today's glory. How dare I put all my hopes on you alone." Mr. Zhou shook his head and said in a deep voice, asking him to place all his hopes on you. No leader of the clan would agree with this about a young man.

Shen Xiuwen didn't know how to respond. After all, he was indeed very young. There was no doubt about this, but strength and age were not necessarily directly proportional. It was as if Li Lin had lived a long life, but he still had no power to resist under his own hands. ?.

"I think you should go back to the mountain quickly. For a big family like the Zhou family, you can't get away with just a few tricks." After finishing speaking, Zhou Jun in white raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and then Turned around and entered the hall.

The fourth son of the Zhou family walked up to the old man and wanted to explain something, but the old man stretched out his hand and pushed him back.

At this time, his expression kept changing. He believed that the apprentice of the old god must be extraordinary, but he did not dare to gamble with his family, so he naturally had some concerns. He turned to look at Mr. Zhou, and stepped aside helplessly.

"Haha, if that's the case, I won't stay any longer. I'll take my leave."

Shen Xiuwen smiled faintly, saying that he was not angry would be a lie, but if he really wanted to say something back, he would still be a little disdainful. As the saying goes, summer insects cannot speak of ice, well frogs cannot speak of the sea, and ordinary people cannot speak of words. , A truly capable person never relies on talking.

Shen Xiuwen turned around to leave, but Li Lin stepped forward and blocked the way.

"Boy, I thought you were here to help out, so I gave you a little bit of sympathy. Now that you have stepped out of this door, when we meet again in the world, I will also let you taste the pain of breaking bones." Li Lin finally said. The sentence was almost said through gritted teeth.

After hearing this, Shen Xiuwen laughed loudly and stepped out of the manor in a very free and easy manner.

Although he left, he felt happy, but this disrupted his original plan. Originally, he could gradually integrate into this society by staying in the Zhou family for a while, but now he is left alone, so naturally He had to make new plans. However, Shen Xiuwen didn't pay much attention and wandered out of the manor and walked towards the city.

"Good guy, it turns out that these square pillars are so big and the house can be built so high. It's really amazing!" Shen Xiuwen stood on the road, looking at the streets with people coming and going, and then at the towering buildings. , then I realized that I had really lived for so many years in vain, and I felt like a silly boy going to town.

"Pfft!"

A group of girls passed by and couldn't help but look at Shen Xiuwen who was dressed a little weirdly. They didn't expect this guy to say such shocking words again. It was simply unbelievable.

"Hey, you didn't come from time travel, did you?" The girl and her companions all bent over with laughter, but it was not a sarcastic smile.

"Forehead……"

Shen Xiuwen didn't know how to answer for a moment. Such a beautiful and youthful girl made him stunned for a moment. It was hot summer, and girls basically wore short skirts and shorts, with their fair thighs exposed. This may have been familiar to others, but it was a huge shock to Shen Xiuwen who had just come down the mountain.

After all, he is still a hot-blooded young man.

"Huh? Why do you have a nosebleed?"

The girl who spoke saw Shen Xiuwen's nosebleed and thought it was because Shen Xiuwen was overheated by wearing too many clothes on such a hot day. She quickly took out a tissue from her cross-body bag and handed it to Shen Xiuwen.

"Ah, oh, thank you!"

Shen Xiuwen took the paper in a panic, blocked his nostrils and ran away. As he ran, he thought about what the master said, "Sure enough, the women at the bottom of the mountain are all tigers. The clothes you wear are too little, which makes people unable to calm down." .”

Seeing Shen Xiuwen's embarrassed look, the girls laughed again. Maybe they heard the laughter from behind, or maybe they wanted to leave this embarrassing place quickly, so Shen Xiuwen's steps became even faster.

"What an interesting man. Don't tell me. The little Taoist priest is quite handsome, with delicate features and masculine features. Although he is still a little immature, he will definitely be a handsome guy in the future. Do you want to chase him quickly? Go up and ask for your contact information or something?"

"You're so talkative, I think you're in love!"

A few girls walking happily on the street are a beautiful sight.

Let's talk about Shen Xiuwen. At this moment, he felt so regretful that he really wanted to slap himself twice. He kept reciting the Qingxin Jue silently in his heart, and then gradually dismissed the picture in his mind.

"Gulu~"

As he walked, the growling of his stomach seemed to remind Shen Xiuwen that it was time to eat. He passed by a restaurant that looked pretty good. After entering, he first ordered a large bowl of noodles and four or five hard dishes. He waited for the noodles first. After serving it, I finished the meal, emptied all the dishes, and ate two large buckets of rice. Only then was I satisfied.

"Oh, it's true that Zhou's family invited me down from the mountain after all, and they didn't even arrange a meal. I had to go out to find food by myself." Shen Xiuwen thought as he called the waiter to prepare the check. .

"Hello, sir, we spent a total of 470 yuan. This is the menu. Please check it." Although the waiter was surprised at how this thin-looking young man stuffed so much food into his stomach, her professional Literacy tells yourself that you must nod and smile.

"So expensive?!" Shen Xiuwen was shocked. He never spent money on weekdays. It was all arranged by his master. Now that he was out and about, his master only gave him two hundred yuan to put in his pocket in case of emergencies. . After all, if you follow the Zhou family, you have to spend your own money for everything. But what he never expected was that the Zhou family would fall out faster than turning over a book, and Shen Xiuwen was kicked out before he even became a guest.

"Uh, um, I don't have enough money..." Shen Xiuwen scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at the waiter who was a few years older than him sincerely.
