Riding a crane to Yangzhou? Eyes full of yearning at dawn, this is an eternal saying about attaining the Tao and becoming an immortal. You have a good intention, and you want to go against the wind in the immortal way, why not take advantage of this light? Yangzhou is also good.
Of the three cities, Haizhou was the only one left. He was quite unfamiliar with this city, and it was not one of the nine states. He wanted to see what Xiao Niangpi had to recommend.
Lin Qing'er's eyes fell on the east side of the sand table: "Haizhou was the Dongsheng Shenzhou in ancient times. It was the place where Fuxi, the ancestor of the human race, drew divination. The astrological fortune of Hua Province. The lonely city looks into the distance. It is the first astrological city in the world. Its fortune Extraordinary, earthquakes move around the mountains, meteors fall into the sea and sink. There is even a thirty-year drought, relying on the water of Yushan Mountain and the fish of the East China Sea to feed a million people. The demons overthrow the world and take away the luck of the human race. Haizhou will surely Destroy."
Li Xiao originally didn't believe in luck, but when he met Wu Xie, if it was an accident, he wouldn't believe it even if he were killed. It could only be destiny.
The iron-clad emperor will be destroyed if his capital city is destroyed. As long as the human race exists, a new king will be born.
Yangzhou, as the place where the human race has its heritage, is related to its foundation and must not be lost. If it is lost, its vitality will be severely damaged. Even if the human race survives, it will not be able to recover for tens of thousands of years.
Haizhou is related to the fate of the human race. It's really hard to say, but it's better to believe in the presence of it than to believe in the lack of it. Therefore, if Dawn chooses first, Yanghai chooses one of the two states.
Yangzhou is located on the Jiangbei Plain. The city is dilapidated and easy to attack but difficult to defend.
Haizhou faces mountains and the sea. The city is solid and the people are safe. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
At this time, Master Shui looked at the other two people in charge: "Who should I choose first? Do I need to draw up a charter?"
This naughty master is fine in other aspects, but he is too pedantic and follows the rules in everything.
It doesn't matter if it's dawn, even if it's the capital. After all, he is the one with the most trump cards among the three, so he should put others first. Of course, if passers-by are fighting, he won't give in.
But I heard Hu Buwei say as if he was joking: "Little Fatty, if you imitate a pig's braying and make a circle in the hall, I will risk my face and let you choose first."
"Senior Hu, you can't go back on your word!" Ding Xiaobao perked up and jumped up desperately. He actually got down on all fours, making pig-like noises and humping around the crowd.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, but felt that it was not appropriate to laugh in such a serious occasion, and it was hard to hold it in for a while.
Master Shui smiled slightly, twirled his beard and said, "Since Master Nephew Hu has said this, I will give him this face."
Lin Qing'er, however, looked surprised: "Who knows if they are singing double recitals?"
Li Xiao couldn't laugh at all. He saw the humbleness of a little person who would not let go of any chance to survive. His former self might not be better than Ding Xiaobao.
Hu Buwei didn't smile either. Looking at Fatty'er crawling around, unable to stop Hengchi's fat figure, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Tie Zhu looked down on Ding Xiaobao. How could a man who stood uprightly pretend to be a pig and make a fool of himself? But he forgot the old saying - pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
Elder Yao admires Fatty'er. Only when a man can bend and stretch can he have a long future.
Another fat man, Turtle Lao, couldn't bear to look at him, as if Ding Xiaobao had embarrassed the fat men.
In the end, Ding Xiaobao chose Haizhou, Tiezhu chose the capital, and only Yangzhou was left to Li Xiao, so everyone got what he wanted.
When Master Shui saw that the dust had settled, he swept his hand and saw that the three cities on the sand table each emitted a ray of white light, which disappeared into the eyebrows of the three contestants. If the person with the mark leaves this city for thirty miles, his body will explode and die. If a person is with the mark, he will be with the mark. Unless I take back the mark on my own initiative, you will be free."
Li Xiao had already seen the methods of the Xian family and was calm.
Tiezhu and Ding Xiaobao were not too surprised. They thought Elder Yao and Hu Buwei had informed them beforehand.
In fact, there have long been rumors that the ghost market is blessed by immortals, but there was an earthquake yesterday, and tonight's meteor shower has already accommodated millions of people, and hundreds of thousands more are isolated. It can be said that it includes people from nearby big cities. Such a large population transfer is impossible. It cannot be accomplished overnight.
All in all, they should have migrated in advance when they started to practice at dawn, and the caravans traveling to and from the nearby big cities were the tentacles of the ghost market. Immortal cultivators were foresighted and had their own methods. They did not interfere in the affairs of the world overtly and had plans secretly.
Li Xiao suddenly thought of another person who could be considered a friend - Xiao Taohong, who was married to a big city. I don't know if she has come back, but I only hope that she is well.
Master Shui flicked his fingers three more times, and three small iron cards fell on the hands of the three contestants. He said earnestly: "As you go, your future is uncertain, life and death are uncertain, but a man will move forward bravely. This is the iron ticket of the ghost market. , it is popular all over the world, take it into the city, and someone will contact you. As for whether you can stand firm and become a general, a pioneer, or a pawn, it depends on your own ability and the current situation. In short, you may fight to the end, or you may die early. , for the ears of the human race. I’ll give you half a day to prepare, and then you’ll have to rely on your destiny.”
Under the encouragement of Master Shui, Li Xiao, Tie Zhu and Ding Xiaobao all had the heart to die generously, and they all responded in unison: "Here!"
After discussing the matter of the annual competition, Baoding left first with three competitors. The three principals had other important matters to discuss.
Li Xiao didn't care about the strange looks from others, he called out "Brother Tiezhu, stay here", turned around and muttered to Lin Qing'er, and soon smiled happily, came to Tiezhu, and handed a bottle of three meat and bone pills to him After some warnings, he felt at ease and left.
After leaving the gambling house, I first looked at the sky. The meteor shower had become thinner. This was a good sign, but it also heralded the arrival of a greater crisis. The meteor shower was about to start.
Dawn returned to Lan Kwai Fong. Xiao Qing, who had been instructed in advance, had prepared a backpack for Dawn, which was the posture of a strong man traveling.
At dawn, I checked the items in my backpack, including Bigu Pills, Quxue Powder, Ghost Painting Talismans, water, food, various medicines, etc., as well as gold and silver packages.
Although he rarely eats the fireworks of the world, he has water and food at all times. Besides, there are always people in need of help on the road. A mouthful of water and a mouthful of food can save one person. Gold and silver also have their uses, but they can no longer arouse his desire for wealth.
At dawn, I meditate and adjust my breath in my own room to keep my body in the best condition. From time to time, I look at the next door with my heavenly eyes to see if the little girl has come back.
Near noon, Lin Qing'er suddenly emerged from the dormitory, and happened to bump into Li Xiao's heavenly eye, and waved: "Fellow Li Xiao, please move."
At dawn, he hurried over to see what other benefits he could get, such as some treasures such as immortal talismans and magic weapons.
Lin Qing'er didn't have anything more to offer, she just gave him some instructions and said she would take him away to Yangzhou in the afternoon.
Seeing that time was tight at dawn, he took a leave and said he was going to meet some old friends on the street, but in fact he was going to see Elder Yao.
When he arrived at the drug store where Elder Yao was in charge, he was told that Elder Yao was not there. The idea of asking for the secret medicine at dawn was in vain, so he had to turn back disappointed.
Suddenly I heard cheers from the crowd on the street. I looked up at dawn and saw that the meteor shower finally stopped and the scorching sun returned to the world.
