When you walk past the earthen walls of the ancient city that have been eroded by snow, you walk past the eaves where raindrops have fallen for months from early spring to midsummer, and you walk past lazily villagers resting against trees and cats sleeping on benches.
When you come to this empty old temple, can you imagine what the ancient residents thought and did on this ancient land?
How they paid homage to the soldiers who died heroically on the battlefield, how they worked silently in the loess, discussed, gathered, and chatted when they had nothing to do, and listened to their fathers' stories about the past in the winter.
Such a cold winter in 3000 BC is destined to be of great significance, because in the coming year, the Chinese nation, which has experienced 70,000 years of wind and frost, will usher in the dawn of a unified civilization for the first time.
It's just that the temperature in the Xiangyi Warm Pool is low at this time.
The beautiful woman lying in the pool has not yet come out of the bath. The hot spring water is slippery and the bath has condensed fat. Her delicate back is leaning on the edge of the pool, looking up at the cracks in the roof, as if she is thinking.
The voice of a maid came: "Mother Xu Yu, Master Peng has come to pay her respects."
Hearing this, Xu Yu gently waved the water in the pool with her hands and said, "Let him wait a moment." The maid responded and retreated.
Peng You was in the side hall. He stood still and looked around the hall. He saw a crack in the roof and thought to himself: This hall has been in disrepair for a long time. It needs time to repair it with others.
The maid came out and saluted Peng You and conveyed Xu Yu's words. Peng You responded and asked him to take a seat. Peng You shook his head and said, "Just stand."
Peng You waited for a while, and then a faint laughter came: "Peng'er, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Peng You turned around and saw Xu Yu, dressed in brocade and silk and gorgeous clothes. He bowed and said, "Hello, aunt. My dear, I wish you well."
Xu Yu was sitting with her hands on the table. There was a cup of hot tea just brewed by the maid, and the fragrance was faintly wafting.
She looked Peng You up and down, then said: "The clothes you are wearing were made by Leizu. They were brought to my palace from Dongyi two days ago. They look good on you."
Peng You bowed his head slightly and said, "Thank you, aunt."
Xu Yu smiled faintly and said leisurely: "I heard that you are in danger, are you injured?"
Peng You said hurriedly: "The child is not seriously injured."
Xu Yu nodded and said, "Of course that's good. You need to be careful when going out."
Peng You hummed and asked, "Where is your father? I have something to ask."
Xu Yu said: "Shaodian is preparing for the martial arts conference. Since he has not been a chief, he is only interested in various sports, but he is also free and easy."
Peng You said hurriedly: "Then the child will go to Piaomiao Mountain to find his father."
Xu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Just wait a minute. The martial arts conference is also the ceremony for you and your elder brother Xuanyuan to become adults and give birth to hairpins."
Only then did Peng You remember that before his eighteenth birthday, a coming-of-age and hair-hair ceremony must be held three months in advance. Ordinary residents would have a simple ceremony, but those born into the clan of a tribal leader would have a grand ceremony to show their prosperity.
Xu Yu continued: "Ordinary people give birth to a son and a half daughters when they reach adulthood, but you and your eldest brother are so different from others. When the martial arts conference comes, there will be many women in the boudoir, so you should find a chance to get married as soon as possible. "
When Peng You heard that his aunt mentioned marriage again, he just thought that he was old and was being urged by his family. If he hadn't met Yan'er that year, he would have just followed the crowd like ordinary people.
Peng You smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, aunt. Brother Xuanyuan wants to become a unified hegemony, and I will try my best to help him. I don't want to talk about it at this time."
Xu Yu said calmly: "Your brother has ambitions in all directions, and he is not as good as our female family, but it would be good if there is a woman to help. I heard that the princess of the Xue family has arrived. Which of your two brothers is willing to choose her as his concubine?" ?”
When Peng You heard this, his heart was torn and he hesitated to speak.
Xu Yu smiled and said: "If you two don't like beauties, this princess can be given to Shenlongyan. He is also the son of Shaodian and a descendant of Xuanyuan. It's a pity that I have no children. This butterfly plays around all day, which makes people sad." Headache."
When Peng You heard that Xu Yu was treating Yan'er like a bargaining chip, he felt unhappy, but it was hard to get angry.
Xu Yu picked up the warm tea at hand, took a sip, and suddenly said to the maid beside her: "Why don't you make tea for Peng'er."
Peng You said hurriedly: "Aunt, there's no need to do this. I got tea from my mother."
Xu Yu glanced at Peng You casually and said, "This is the finest tea from Dongyi Tianluo Mountain. Although it is old tea, it tastes very good."
Peng You saw that he had nothing to gain from this. He was tired of talking to Xu Yu about all kinds of food and clothing. He saluted and said, "Auntie, please rest. I'll go find my father."
Xu Yu nodded and said: "That's fine, I'm tired too, you go ahead."
Peng You said no more, turned and left.
Xu Yu looked at Peng You's back as he walked out of the palace and said with a cold smile: "This person's life is really hard, and he can come to see me in such a complete state."
The maid next to her said to Xu Yu: "Just now, my wife mentioned Princess Xue's family, and he seemed displeased."
The corner of Xu Yu's mouth tilted and she said: "I was just trying him. Butterfly told me that Shenlong Peng returned hand in hand with Princess Xue's family. How can a man not be tempted when he meets such a beautiful woman? What good things can a man and a woman alone do these days?" "
The maid looked happy and said, "Can the matter discussed by the empress and that man be successful?"
Xu Yu said calmly: "There are too many variables in this matter. Even if he returns safely, he still needs to be ruined in the martial arts conference."
A cold wind blows outside.
Peng Youxing was in Xuanyuan Palace. He was thinking about how he had forgotten about becoming an adult and hairpin ceremony. Moreover, he had just met Yan'er on the road and had promised to go to Dongyi Fairy City together tomorrow.
He recalled that just now Yan'er said that she was leaving to return to Dongyi, and he hurriedly said that he would go with her, just in time to find out what happened. Yan'er also happily agreed, but he didn't know why she whispered those words in his ear.
"Brother Peng, I'm sorry for you. In order to compensate you, I will steal the remaining two treasures of Dongyi's three treasures to you." After Yao Yan'er whispered, she looked at herself and smiled playfully. She looked so cute. .
Peng You felt strange, why am I sorry? What are the two remaining treasures of Dongyi? Why do you want to steal it from me? Peng You thought about Yan'er's strange nature and couldn't figure out her thoughts.
While Peng You was thinking about it, a figure ran past him quickly. Suddenly seeing that it was Peng You, the figure stopped suddenly, turned around and ran back.
The figure had already rushed to Peng You very quickly. Peng You was not thinking about the road and did not pay attention to the person coming.
The man stopped Peng You, cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Peng!"
Peng You came back to his senses, looked over, and said with a smile: "Monkey!"
The humming monkey was extremely surprised and said: "Young Master Peng is a good person and a good person. I know that Young Master Peng was taken away by the Xirong magician. He is very anxious. I wonder how you escaped?"
Peng You saw the loris at this time and recalled the scene before parting with him. At that time, all discussions with him were in vain. He only felt that there had been so many changes in the past few days.
Peng You looked at the loris and said, "I'm not seriously injured. The woman who can block flying arrows saved me. Where are you going now?"
The humming monkey said: "That woman again? After you and I parted, I rushed back to Xuanyuan Palace to avenge Young Master Gongsun. Master Limu was sent to Yunzhong Pass, which had been recovered at this time. I was about to report this matter to Gongsun. Little Lord."
Peng You smiled and said, "That's great. Where is my master at this time?"
The humming monkey replied: "Master Limu is on his way back and will arrive in the next few days. He will not miss Young Master Peng's coming-of-age and hair-hair ceremony."
Peng You felt happy and said, "It's great if Master can be here."
Humulus cupped his hands and said: "Master Limu once told the villain that having a disciple like Master Peng would bring countless blessings. If he can see you become a great martial artist before he dies, he will have no regrets in this life." "
Peng You shook his head after hearing this and said: "Great martial artist? That means defeating three ninth-level warriors at the same time! What a supreme position this is. Master Youying passed away when I was still young, and there is no one left in our clan." Great martial artist."
