Spring turns to summer in Pisces Jade Realm very quickly. It seems that just yesterday everyone was wearing heavy spring clothes. In recent days, everyone has changed into thin clothes. Young men in green shirts and pretty women in thin undershirts have also gone to and outside the city. The surrounding people who did not settle in the city also took advantage of the suddenly warm early summer weather to wander around. Since last year, before the cold winter approached, except for the New Year's Eve, after all, countless people came to the city again, and people came and went. There was an endless stream of visitors, and it was very lively, as if this majestic city, which had been silent for almost the whole winter and with the bleak spring, was once again aroused with a lot of life.
But then, Yun Zhong became busy again. Not only was the business in the blacksmith shop booming and they were in urgent need of manpower, the old man never knew how to write the word polite. When he was short of manpower, he couldn't help but come to the door, pick him up and leave, even if he had nothing to do, he had nothing to do and drank and chatted with others before the glass was served. When he had time to put it down, he had to be half-dragged and half-dragged to the shop by the old man. Even though he was not very good at blacksmithing, in the old man's opinion, Yun Zhong's appearance and the killing of evil dragons on the river were quite shocking, regardless of who came from. Every store needs to be elaborated on, and I wish I could describe Yun Zhong as a magical figure who can move mountains and create rivers with his hands. But the fact that Jiang Xin killed the evil dragon was indeed known to everyone in the city. Even if he added some extra fuel to the fire, it was not a lie. The old man with a sharp tongue really attracted many people from outside the city, so the new plaque for this place only lasted three years. The blacksmith shop for two months once again happened to make a lot of money.
But in the end, he didn't give even two copper coins to Yunzhong. He just vaguely said that he would give Yunzhong an opportunity soon, which was much more valuable than this small amount of silver.
If it had been someone else, Yun Zhong would have been jealous. The old man offered a huge price, and not only turned over the capital seven or eight times, but also put an ordinary hatchet into Yun Zhong's hand after being coerced, coerced, and tricked by the old man. It became an object used by the young swordsman to practice martial arts when he was young. Not to mention farming with this object, he could even injure hundreds of enemies. Even though he had not seen a sword in the Pisces Jade Realm for too many years, the swordsman When Jiang Xin blocked the dragon and cut it in two, the joyful event certainly attracted the envy of his son, and his generosity surged in his chest. The woman frequently raised her eyebrows to the swordsman in white who always smiled wryly, always feeling that he was not very old. But he is much calmer than those boys of the same age who only know how to make people happy. He has handsome features, so of course he can't help but take a few more glances.
After a busy day and approaching dusk, Yun Zhong rubbed his face, finally rubbing his already numb and straight face until he could move as he pleased. Then he stood up and stretched his muscles for a while. He accidentally saw the door in front of the door beside him. The old man picked up the money he got today and smiled so hard that his eyebrows and eyebrows were squeezed into one place, just like a child who accidentally dropped a yellow clay figure on the green brick road and was crushed by a horse's hooves and a bicycle wheel. Even though Yun Zhong tried his best to remain calm. , I almost couldn’t bear the thought of raising my fist and hitting the old man’s face.
Thinking is one thing, doing is another. The old man's background is almost comparable to that of the entire Pisces Jade Realm, so even though Yun Zhong's teeth trembled with hatred, he still endured it.
The old man carefully counted the accumulated money and glanced at Yunzhong who was pretending to be casual. As if he was afraid that this rather conservative boy would not follow the rules and planned to swallow his hard-earned money. He coughed twice and finally turned his head, " It's getting late, and there probably won't be much business left, how about you please come back?"
These words that deserved a beating were spoken, but before Yun Zhongheng could make up his mind to find a good iron to give the old man a good beating, the latter continued to come slowly, "Boy, in this Pisces Jade Realm, there are There is the mountain god with a very reckless temper, the multi-eyed monster fish who seduces his temper step by step, and the four kings who are always under suspicion. But you might as well think about it carefully, have I ever deceived you? There is a way to guard against others. The heart is indispensable, but I value your head. At least you can turn around. There must be a cause and effect for all the actions of people in the world. Do I have the right to lie to you? "
"Then you dare to ask the senior, who has been selling things off for a long time, and has been trying to attract others' appetites without speaking out. How could he have the opportunity to give this gift?" Yun Zhong curled his lips. The old man had been acting strangely since he returned to the city from outside. I can't change my greed for money alone. If I think about it carefully, I haven't had a drink in a down-to-earth manner for nearly a whole month. I always have to be dragged to the blacksmith shop by this old man to show off. The female donor outside has a scary look in her eyes. It's hard to do anything. Feeling at ease, it was inevitable that he would feel depressed. He rolled his eyes and glared at the old man, only to find that there was not much smile on his face.
The old man always looked cheerful, even on the top of the mountain that day,
After watching Yun Zhong being kicked out of the three realms, he never showed a very solemn expression. Even when he played against the old man who looked exactly the same as himself, his expression rarely changed, but Yun Zhong just hurriedly At a glance, the shirtless old man squatting at the threshold changed his expression from the usual playful look. It was obvious that there were still black ash slag on his shoulders, and his beard was obviously dyed gray. He was not as impressive as those elders in the same city who were leisurely enjoying the cool air. , from a distance, he looked like a poor and hard-working old man, and his expression was very solemn at this time.
Then the old man took out a jade bottle of excellent quality from his arms and threw it into Yun Zhong's palm. "There is an opportunity for you inside. If you ask for the root cause, this opportunity was not given to you by me, but by the old immortal who taught Xiao Xi. It sounds nice on the surface, but he lost it to me in a hand-to-hand talk. In fact, it is a gift from me. Based on that person's chess skills, it is probably difficult for a human being, even the most highly praised national player in history, to get even the slightest advantage, let alone me who ruined the so-called path to immortality with my own hands."
Several children who were walking home together came from a distance. When they saw the old man squatting at the threshold, they all made ugly faces at the old man. However, there were still some kind-hearted children who imitated their adults and said that it was not yet summer. It's best not to go shirtless. Old people have weak muscles and bones, so don't catch cold.
The old man nodded to the child in a very easy-going manner, threw two copper coins, and asked the child to buy candy balls, and then continued, "This breath of fairy energy is enough to turn decay into magic. I remember when we parted ways, I always You are thinking about asking for it from that person. Although you are restricted by this, you may be able to calm down at a critical moment, whether it is to expand your messy meridians from a trickle to a mighty river or sea. It makes you sit around and look around to fill the vacancy, and out of thin air you get a five-level cultivation level that is unparalleled in the world. This kind of opportunity is definitely the biggest one in the Pisces Jade Realm, even compared to the two things Xiao Xi got. The gold is more expensive, so you can use your kid to earn some money in exchange for such a great opportunity that you may not see in this life, and whoever loses it will gain."
But what puzzled the old man was that after hearing these words, Yun Zhong next to him looked at the jade bottle in his palm, stood up and quietly put it back into the old man's hand, then sat back down.
As for the jade bottle containing the immortal energy of the bones of the living and dead, Yun Zhong didn't even look at it.
The old man only thought it was absurd.
"don't want?"
"In the small town where my home is, there used to be a nursery rhyme. I don't know if it was widely sung or not, but I haven't heard it again for many years." Yun Zhong crossed his legs and took out the half bottle of wine he had brought with him. After taking a few sips, he ignored the old man beside him who was obviously getting taller and more majestic. He said slowly to himself, "The sugar is in the porcelain bottle. Children need to eat sugar. To eat sugar, they need to use their hands to get enough. But children don't." Xiao, Manman grabbed a lot of them, but he couldn't pull his hands out. In the end, after receiving a good beating, he realized that he had to do things one by one and eat the candy piece by piece."
"I don't consider myself a capable person. Although I have some friendship with my seniors, how can I dare to extend my hand safely to such a big gift? If I have any regrets, I just need to get through it. But if there is no way back, I'm afraid... If you put a hand in, everyone is willing to take advantage of it, but it's a pity that this junior really doesn't want to gamble."
This time the old man didn't speak for a long time.
"I really want to do something with you. Friendship is friendship, business is business, but in my opinion, this deal can be done."
"Is it what the senior said can be done, or is it what the old man said can be done?" Yun Zhong asked, tilting his head, looking at the plaque intentionally or unintentionally, and feeling a little emotional.
The blacksmith shop closed very late tonight. The old man, who had changed his temper and often appeared in the city, watched the evening sky that was getting hotter. His energy slowly fell from the heights, and he returned to his original temperament. He was a weird and ordinary old man. He looked towards the far and far side of the alley, and realized that he had never seen through this young man's mind, but after tonight, he had gained something.
On the contrary, Yun Zhong never cared about all this. Carrying the wine pot and the gourd hanging on his waist, he went to the tavern to drink a lot, walked back to the mansion, and stopped in front of Ye Zhai's mansion. After a while, he still didn't knock on the door and left on his own.
In ancient times, there was a saying that there was a sword pilot on the battlefield. Especially when the two armies faced each other at night, they needed to have soldiers leading the way, carrying swords and torches and charging ahead. Therefore, the casualties were the heaviest. However, in every night battle, a sword pilot was indispensable.
That
The business mentioned by an old man who is almost the same as the Pisces Jade Realm only makes Yun Zhong the leader of the sword in the future. If the Pisces Jade Realm is in trouble, Yun Zhong needs to do his best to protect the people, birds and animals in the Pisces Jade Realm from harm. , but it is clear that now that the Four Lords are in charge, the entire Pisces Jade Realm is becoming more and more prosperous. However, at this time of year, the old man entrusted this matter to Yun Zhong. He has neither much cultivation nor anything extraordinary. , it seems that from beginning to end, he is just the most inconspicuous little disciple in Nangong Mountain.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
The shirtless old man looked deep into the alley.
It seems that there are always people in this world who can effortlessly get things that others find difficult to reach in their lifetimes. It also seems that there are always people who feel that their hands are empty, and it is easy to pick up some things that others do not think are very valuable, and then quickly slip them through their fingers. It seeped out and dispersed, as if it had never fallen into this person's hands.
