During the Qin Dynasty, in the 18th year of Yunxia, ??in early summer, Qi Yunzhou and Hewangcheng.
It¡¯s hot at this time, and Yunbao Restaurant is bustling during lunch time, but there are still empty tables in the VIP rooms on the second and third floors.
A little beggar in his teens slipped in from downstairs. Fortunately, he was dressed in rags, but his body was still clean and there was no peculiar smell. When the waiter who greeted the guests saw the little beggar, he immediately became angry and drove him away with curses.
The little beggar escaped with a smile, as slippery as a loach, and did not care about being humiliated. He called out diligently, and another young man came in, wearing a black brocade robe, with a tough demeanor, and seemed to have an unusual identity.
The waiter immediately swallowed his curse words and put on his habitual smile.
"Sir, what would you like to eat? The public hall on the first floor, the VIP rooms on the second and third floors"
"On the first floor, two big bowls of pork noodles, a plate of cut beef, and a plate of cold vegetable dishes -" The young man in black robe saw that there was an empty table on the first floor, so he and the little beggar sat at the empty table.
"Okay, table No. 4 on the first floor, two big bowls of pork noodles, one plate of beef, and one cold vegetable dish¡ª"
The waiter looked at the little beggar and raised his voice to order, and the cook heard it.
The little beggar smelled the food on the first floor, and his stomach growled, but he sat upright, trying hard to behave, and was a little more reserved.
The young man in black robe opposite him was his meal ticket, but he was taciturn, unsmiling, and his eyes were a little scary. From the county seat hundreds of miles away to the current Hewangcheng. If he hadn't worked hard and shamelessly wanted to be the black-robed young man's servant and follow him all the way, I'm afraid he wouldn't have had the chance to enter this big restaurant right now.
The young man in black robe was lukewarm to him. He didn¡¯t even buy a set of clothes for him on the way, and he didn¡¯t even open a firewood shed. But fortunately, he was generous in terms of food, and he was able to eat well. The little beggar was already very satisfied with this.
This pairing seems unusual, and the guests at the table next to them look at each other with suspicion. However, no one pays attention to other people's business. Food is more important than the sky.
After a while, their food was served.
"Your Majesty, please use it with caution."
"Have a meal."
The young man in black robe said calmly, and the little beggar dared to use his chopsticks. He still devoured his food, but tried not to make any noise. Along the way, eating rules have long been established.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????
The young man in black robe was not in a hurry and took half an hour to finish the meal. The little beggar touched his bulging belly and felt very satisfied. He thought to himself, how delicious it would be to eat like this every day from now on. He had to hold this big thick leg, but how to hold it?
"Walk."
"Sir, do you want to stay in a hotel? Why don't you find a place to drink tea while I go out to inquire about which one is the most cost-effective?" Don't believe it, I, Xiaojiu, am the best at this. "
The little beggar suddenly felt that the opportunity had come and it was time for him to show off.
The young man in black robe looked at him lightly. The little beggar was very nervous and very concerned about this opportunity.
"You want to be my servant?"
"think!"
The little beggar nodded like garlic.
"You can't be my servant"
"Sir, I'm willing to do anything."
"I'll give you a chance to do something for me. If it's done, you'll have no worries about food and drink from now on."
The young man in black robe whispered a few words of advice. Although he was a little disappointed, the little beggar kept it in mind and blended into the crowd of people on the street like a loach.
A moment later.
Jinding Tea House, third floor.
The young man in black robe, namely Zhang Weidong, ordered a pot of the finest Daqin Jinxia rock tea. The light spiritual energy in the tea soup was like clouds and mist. Although this spiritual energy is too rare, it is better than nothing for Qi Refining monks, but for mortals, it is a rare thing. Such a pot is worth 108 gold coins, which is too luxurious.
In fact, there is just a little bit of Jinxia rock tea in the teapot. This is the only tea from Jinding Teahouse, the quantity is very small.
Because of this, apart from a waiter standing there, he was the only one on the third floor, which was deserted.
"The laws of heaven in this world are lacking, and so are the yellow-level spiritual stones. The laws of heaven and earth contained should have been 136, but unfortunately there are only 134. Even the yellow-level spiritual energy absorbed by the dimension is the same. What is missing, time and space What?"
Unexpectedly, after a retreat, 120 years have passed in the outside world. On an inch-high three-leaf bud in Dantian, the third bud has fully unfolded, and it is inlaid with 134 patterns of laws. Unfortunately, it is obvious that the 134 patterns of laws It only occupies about 1% of the leaf surface of the third leaf.
There are tens of thousands of laws of heaven and earth, and Zhang Weidong has determined his own path.
Comply with all the laws of heaven and earth, and then be promoted to the Yuanji realm.
Although this road is too difficult, not to mention Xuan-level spiritual stones, earth-level spiritual stones, or evenWhether the legendary heaven-level spiritual stones exist is difficult to guarantee even if it takes a long time.
In 120 years, with the help of the power of fate and the Enlightenment Stone, the pattern of 134 laws was combined. If there are patterns of tens of thousands of laws, wouldn¡¯t it last for tens of thousands of years? Can a Golden elixir monk live for tens of thousands of years? Zhang Weidong also felt heavy.
"However, this path was his choice, and he must go on it.
"How to obtain Xuan-level spiritual stones and Xuan-level spiritual energy?"
There are very few yellow-level spiritual veins in this world, and there may even be Xuan-level spiritual stones. However, Xuan-level spiritual stones may not be easy to obtain, and each one is like a supreme treasure. But no matter how difficult it is, Zhang Weidong thinks it is a choice.
As for the mysterious spiritual energy, according to what he learned from Qingmu Lingchu's collection of books, it can either be obtained from the Tianji Realm or Dao Mirror when practicing, or it can be upgraded and repaired from Qingmu Lingfu to Zhenjiao Lingfu, or it can be obtained from ruins. This is the second option.
As for realizing the fit yourself, that is the last choice.
However, no matter which choice he makes, he must leave this abandoned life planet.
"Then, let's look at Jingui next. After giving up the worldly thoughts, enter the void"
Zhang Jingui had long been sent out to inquire about the deeds of Xu Qing and others a hundred years ago, from top to bottom. A hundred years may be just a moment for a monk, but more than a lifetime for a mortal, and many things have been forgotten. As for the little beggar going to inquire about the forces and families in Hewangcheng, it was just Zhang Weidong's boredom.
After drinking tea, Zhang Weidong rented a small courtyard nearby and lived quietly.
??Then only the little beggar came in and out. The two went out to eat, and then Zhang Weidong drank tea, while the little beggar continued to inquire.
Half a month later.
The little beggar has roughly found out the composition of the forces in the royal city.
Another day later, there was a knock on the door of the small courtyard.
The little beggar went to open the door and saw a strong man in blue robe with small eyes and a fierce look. He suddenly looked wary, leaving only a gap in the door.
"Who are you looking for?"
The strong man with small eyes and blue robe bared his teeth and smiled, but the little beggar was frightened and fell to the ground with a scream.
"Sir, there are bad guys, run away!"
After a while, the little beggar realized that it was just a misunderstanding, but he became even more worried. He had never seen Zhang Weidong with a servant before, and now one jumped out, and he was so tall and strong, but he was like a bean sprout and couldn't be beaten. Obviously, with the strong man in blue robe, he would be driven away, right?
In the room, Zhang Weidong sat upright, and the bad guy in blue robe respectfully reported the results of the trip.
As expected, 120 years is enough time for a mortal to last two lifetimes. Former old friends have returned to dust and dust to dust. Even if they are involved, they are only their descendants.
Zhang Weidong was lost in thought for a long time and exhaled.
"He Wangcheng, Liehuo Hou, Zhao Mansion?"
Time, place, people, and events seem to match up one by one.
Back then, Xu Qing and others fled all the way, and finally returned to Daqin and found their relatives. However, when he eloped and left, the tribe was very angry. This time, except for Xu's mother who couldn't help but shed tears when they met, Xu's father never showed up. Instead, the clan members exchanged sarcastic remarks.
This made Xu Qing and others decide to buy another property and run a pharmacy.
When Zhang Weidong separated from them, in addition to giving all the money to Xu Qing privately, he also left some pharmaceutical formulas and body-refining elixirs, which at least ensured that they would have no worries about food and housing. But Zhao Erbao and others are not bad at using force and can protect themselves.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ However, Xu Qing is a woman after all, and many situations are inconvenient. Zhao Erbao and others are rough people. It's okay to let them do it, but it's completely impossible to run it.
The Xu family took a fancy to this and wanted to re-accept Xu Qing back to the Xu family, and even privately promised Xu Qing to marry him again. This made Xu Qing block them one by one. Naturally, she completely broke up with the Xu family. After that, it was light and dark, and there was a lot of friction. And Zhao Erbao and others showed their faces due to their use of force, which also made ordinary people dare not use violence against them.
Later, the little girl and Goudan grew up, especially Goudan, who joined the army and wanted to find a good background. Later, he was promoted to a school captain based on his bravery and merit. The children of the two families were interested in each other, so they got married. Businesses such as pharmacies were also blocked from bringing dowry to the Zhao family.
Over the next hundred years, the Zhao family relied on their financial resources and inheritance of body training to produce some talents from the next generation. But now, the most dazzling direct lineage, Zhao Lie, the fifth generation of the Zhao family, is the patriarch and has been named Liehuohou. It can be said that it is infinitely prosperous.
"Master, do you plan to visit me?"
Zhang Jingui could tell that Zhang Weidong was in a depressed mood. He doesn't know what happened a hundred years ago, but it should be?It is related to the mortal woman named Xu Qing.
But over the past hundred years, mortals have reproduced for several generations.
"Visit? That's fine. It should be settled."
¡°Then shall I prepare a gift?¡±
"There is no need to prepare anything. After the visit, go and make a sacrifice and then leave."
Early the next morning, the small courtyard was rented out.
Zhang Weidong took Zhang Jingui and a little beggar Xiaojiu who had changed into new clothes, and the three of them took a carriage to Liehuo Hou Mansion.
The Liehuo Hou Mansion is easy to find. Even in Hewang City, everyone knows the name of Liehuo Hou Zhao Lie. He has amazing martial arts and is said to be above the first class.
This morning, Liehuo Hou Mansion.
In a corner of the garden of the Hou Mansion, Zhao Liecai finished standing on the Hunyuan Stake, practiced the Demon Subduing Boxing and several times of marksmanship, and felt comfortable all over.
At this time, the housekeeper who had been waiting outside for a while was allowed to come in.
"Master Hou, there seems to be an imperial edict from above. Prefect Li and the eunuch who will deliver the edict will probably arrive soon."
"Um."
Zhao Lie was extremely calm.
It is true that he is the leader of the Agni Army, but in addition to training, in order to mobilize the Agni Army, he must have half of the tiger talisman held by the eunuch overseeing the army and him, or the emperor's imperial edict.
After a simple wash, he put on his general uniform. The housekeeper also set up the incense table in the front hall. At this time, the doorman heard that Magistrate Li and the eunuchs had arrived.
¡°I¡¯d like to invite Magistrate Li and Supervisor Zheng!¡±
?¡
"The imperial edict has arrived, and Liehuo Hou Zhao Lie will receive it!"
"I accept the order."
"By God's will, the emperor decreed that on the day of the imperial edict, the Liehuo Army will set off within half a day and arrive at Jinxia Mountain to garrison within ten days, waiting for further orders. This is your honor!"
¡°Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!¡±
?¡
Zhang Weidong and the others got off the carriage and happened to encounter the scene of sergeants and government officials lining up outside the Liehuo Hou Mansion.
