A thin Taoist priest, wearing a felt hat, a heavily mended blue cotton robe, and a pair of thick cotton shoes, walked on the road like a thin bamboo pole dangling.
Next to him was a burly middle-aged man, carrying a knife at his waist. The handle of the knife was rubbed until it was shiny. The man started growing a beard a few months ago, and soon his face was full of beards.
The two parties were walking back to their hometowns together. Their hometowns were not far away, only thirty or forty miles away, and both fell within the boundaries of Wuling County.
In fact, the Taoist priest wanted the man to be more than twenty years younger, but because of his older appearance, he looked at least ten years older than the latter.
The key point is that although this Taoist priest does not have an officially recognized oracle and is a private practitioner, he is a genuine Taoist and his close friends are pure martial artists.
The two of them returned from a long trip together. This trip took several years. They traveled to many places and met many strange people and strange things.
It was none other than Yuan Lu, the rice thief king, and Qi Gu, a warrior in the line of swordsmen.
A perfect monk at the Jade Pu Realm, and a peak martial artist at the Nine Realms who may break through at any time.
In this world of Qingming, the Taoist priests of the rice thief lineage only look at the word "rice thief" and know that their situation is not that good. They are similar to the corpse-solving immortal, the porter and the one-word master, and they will not be walking on the street.
Everyone is shouting about the evil ways, but it is best not to get close to the boundary of Baiyujing. Once you find out where you are, you will probably go to the 12th floor of the Five Cities as a guest.
Qi Gu asked: "Do you think I should agree to Zhu Xuan's invitation?"
During my travels, I once passed by Yongzhou. Among the fourteen Qingming states, it is a Feng Shui treasure land with the most abundant water transportation.
The Qingshan Dynasty in Bingzhou and the Yufu Dynasty in Yongzhou were both the most powerful dynasties in the state and the leading behemoths.
Somehow, the whereabouts of the two were discovered by the young empress of the Yufu Dynasty. Zhu Xuan showed up in person and invited Qi Gu to serve as a royal minister.
However, both parties knew very well that Zhu Xuan, the empress of the Yufu Dynasty, was cutting off the truth, because Qi Gu could become the "strongest" warrior at any time and anywhere. If he broke through in the Yufu Dynasty, he could gain an additional share.
A considerable amount of martial arts gifts, so Zhu Xuan not only offered a worship status, but also offered an extremely generous price. Not to mention the salary, Zhu Xuan just promised to take out a weapon from the royal treasury for Qi Gu to use.
, the deadline is three hundred years, which is extremely tempting. This peerless gun called "Broken Formation" has always been the national treasure of the Yufu Dynasty. It can innately restrain the formations of Qi practitioners. If Qi Gu
Become a martial artist at the end of the world, and then hold this gun, and you will be invincible against the Qi practitioners under the immortals.
Let alone deciding the outcome, it would be difficult for the opponent to escape.
Anyone who can be ranked among the ten young and candidates, whether a monk or a warrior, who doesn't have a few killer skills?
On the other hand, the Qingshen Dynasty seems to be completely indifferent to where Qi Gu breaks the situation. So far, not even a Taoist official has shown up, let alone His Majesty the Emperor and Yao Qing.
Qi was very angry.
After all, I am a martial artist in the Nine Realms, but why am I so out of your sight?
Wang Yuanlu said: "Anyway, you won't be able to move your legs when you see your pretty aunt."
Qi Gu said angrily: "You're just going to be a gangster."
It is true that Wang Yuanlu dared to be so arrogant on his side. When meeting outsiders, he would be tongue-tied and could not speak clearly. For example, with the empress Zhu Xuan, Wang Yuanlu kept his head down and his ears turned red.
, it was almost a matter of asking three questions and answering one sentence. Previously, at Lu Tai and Yuan Ying's place, the Taoist priest was even more drunk. For some reason, he gave Mr. Lu a few words. He drank to the point of sadness, and his drinking capacity was poor, so he cried.
I was in an uproar, but luckily I didn't go crazy with alcohol.
Perhaps the only exception is Taoist Master Guan Sun of Xuandu, whom Wang Yuanlu has called his "ancestor" for many years.
Wang Yuanlu is indeed quite heroic to the old patron, and he even dares to scold Lao Guapi in front of him.
The old temple master is the unbeatable fifth person in the world, especially his catchphrase of "I am a poor Taoist who likes to be kind to others and never makes enemies with others", which makes him famous in the world of Qingming.
Therefore, Qi Gu privately advised Wang Yuanlu to be more polite when speaking to the old immortal, but he couldn't be persuaded.
"If I don't even see Liu Jing when I go home this time, I won't put my hot face against my cold butt."
The more Qi Gu talked, the angrier he became. He cursed and said, "Damn it, it's true that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, so why don't you blame me for the flowers blooming inside the wall?"
Wuling County, located in the capital of the Qingshen Dynasty, is a place where wealthy and noble families gather together and there are many aristocratic families. The ancestral Yin Yin virtue is the most prosperous in any state.
Wuling County has five counties under its jurisdiction, including Changmao Junyangping. Since it is the location of the imperial mausoleum, it was originally used by the Qingshen Dynasty to gather and place the founding heroes.
The current county governor, Liu Jing, is a relative of the emperor, and he also has the status of a palace watcher. The capital city and the Taoist priests in the capital are all under his control.
In addition, all major mountains and rivers in the Qingshan Dynasty had palaces and palaces to promote officials, which were often used by the court to place idle ministers who were aging, and it was more like an honorary title.
Wang Yuanlu said: "Be careful, Chief Yao is staring at you."
Qi Gu asked: "Isn't that the case?"
Wang Yuanlu frowned slightly and said, "It's hard to say."
Qi Gu hesitated for a moment, but still used the method of gathering voices into a line, and whispered to his friends: "Fortunately, our Bingzhou is under the jurisdiction of Qingcui City, otherwise the second son of Baiyu Jingdao would have dealt with it miserably. Wuling County
It would never be as vibrant as it is today.”
Wang Yuanlu said: "The nature of water is different if it flows from the same source. People live by water, and of course they like gentle water. Floods occur every three days. No one can stand it, and they have to complain."
Qi Gu smiled and said: "Occasionally, I can still come up with a few words of truth."
Qi Gu remembered something and said, "I heard that Master Yu has accepted a new disciple."
The Taoist priest grinned and said, "You have a good life, I can't help but envy you."
Qi Gu joked: "Xu Jun's life is considered good."
The Taoist priest thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Sect Master Xu is not only blessed with a good life... No, Master Xu's life is actually not good. A tough life is his real ability."
Qi Gu said: "One day, I will marry that Bai Ou as my wife, so that I can honor my ancestors!"
The Taoist priest habitually bowed his head and folded his hands, his body stooped, "Hot aunt, if you really want to get married, you just have to chew chili peppers every day."
Qi Gu's eyes sparkled, he shook his wrist and said with a grin: "As long as I win one game against her and marry her, it doesn't matter if I lose another hundred or a thousand games to her!"
There are two types of fighting.
The Taoist priest murmured in a low voice and complained: "Why do you speak so obscenely?"
Qi Gu exclaimed, "Do you understand this?"
In the past hundred years, like a good year for crops, Wuling County has emerged with a large number of talented people who have attracted the attention of various states. There are two candidates among the top ten young people in the world.
In addition, in the Huayang Palace of Difei Mountain, one of the ancestral palaces of the Fulu Sect, there is a young monk with the Taoist name Lei Ran, and there is a female Taoist priest named Nanshan in Caishuoshan Mountain. The two recognized immortal embryos are now young monks.
Infant monk.
The two people on the road at this moment are both young people from Wuling County. Youran and Nanshan are also one of the three thousand Taoist officials rushing to the colorful world. Although they are from rival sects, they are of the same age.
Born in the same month and on the same day, even the time is exactly the same. This is such a perfect match that the two groups of Taoist officials in Difei Mountain and Caizhuishan now have some subtle changes in their hearts.
In fact, Wang Yuanlu and Qi Gu really wanted to go to the colorful world together, but the rules set by Haoran Tianwen Temple were there, and both of them had exceeded the threshold, so they couldn't go there if they wanted to.
In the eyes of the Taoist officials on the mountain, Wuling County is a cornucopia and a nest of gods.
In the eyes of several worlds, it is a golden and jade dojo comparable to the Lizhu Cave Heaven of Haoran Tianxia.
There are dandy kids who are just waiting to die on the merits of their ancestors, and there are kids from Wuling who are "young and full of energy, and have their own time to work hard".
young ranger.
Anyway, they are all Wuling boys who are famous all over the world.
But in the eyes of Wang Yuanlu and Qi Gu, it is just their hometown.
Rich people are very rich, and poor people will be too poor to open up the pot, and everyone will live their own lives.
Li Liyuan was on the grass, brightly dressed and angry horses were on the official road, dust was flying, and a group of rich and distinguished guests with golden saddles and jade came.
This group of people traveling on horses are all young-faced men and women, armed with swords and bows, riding horses to look for flowers. They are bold and heroic, full of spirit, and full of fierceness.
The Taoist priest was just the opposite. He was timid, had a sinister look on his face, and was full of pettiness and confusion.
Wang Yuanlu hurriedly moved away, not fighting with the other party, and took the initiative to avoid those extremely powerful and magical tall horses. Qi Gu had no choice but to follow and stand by the road. After the group of Wang Yuanlu's disciples rode away, Qi Gu raised his hand and waved.
Waving the dust, he habitually took out his crotch with one hand and said with a smile: "It's just that the skin is good for appearance. It really depends on whether the seed is good or not. It won't help either of us and we will suffer a big loss. So in the future, we must find a good-looking wife."
of."
Wang Yuanlu didn't say anything and was silent for a moment, then said: "If you can change this habit of picking up your crotch, change it. If a woman sees it, your favorable impression will at least be halved."
Qi Gu laughed and said: "This guy is too big and can't position himself properly."
Wang Yuanlu said: "Why do you lift your belt first every time the water is released?"
Qi Gu was speechless. Why are you arguing with me?
The two of them passed by a roadside pavilion, where a group of gamblers were playing dice, Qi Gu rubbed his hands, and Wang Yuanlu glanced sideways.
Qi Gu chuckled, "Don't worry, as is the old rule, since I have promised you, I will definitely keep my word. Forget it for now, I will send you home first."
Qi Gu had a problem since he was a child, he was addicted to gambling.
Later, I met Wang Yuanlu and became friends. I promised with all my heart that if I hang out with me from now on, I guarantee that whatever I need will be provided.
As a result, Qi Gu once suffered big losses twice in Qingshen Dynasty's capital and in Luzhou because of gambling.
It happened that Wang Yuanlu rushed over after hearing the news twice and helped to settle the matter. The so-called "settlement" is very simple. If I, Wang Yuanlu, can't settle the matter with money, I will settle it with my life.
He rescued Qi Gu twice and fought a bloody path.
It can even be said that the reason why Wang Yuanlu became a Taoist priest of Mi Thief's lineage was thanks to Qi Gu.
But in those years, Wang Yuanlu could only complain to Qi Gu, following his elder brother and starving for nine meals in three days.
Wang Yuanlu's idea is very simple and simple. It is my own choice to agree to be friends with you. Since I have become a friend, I must act like a friend.
If a friend doesn't treat me as a friend, that's a problem with my vision. There's nothing to complain about. I've suffered a few times and feel that I can't stand it anymore, so we just part ways.
