In this year, the land of the Central Plains has entered the Bronze Age from the Neolithic Age. Bronze smelting technology is developing day by day. On the land in the north and south, mining sites are turning around day and night, and smelting fires are burning day and night.
Various types of bronze products, bronze swords and bronze helmets are continuously transported to various places. There are four major distribution centers in the southeast, northwest, Dongyi Fairy City, Yunzhong Pass, Xirong Magic City, and Jiangnan Water City.
Although agriculture, industry and commerce were underdeveloped in this ancient era, the ancient people on this land also had their own ten kinds of happiness.
They may study essays, paint, listen to music, watch dances, play chess, farm, weave, ride and hunt, climb mountains and wade in rivers to enjoy the scenery, enjoy the beauty of the snow, moon and flowers, throw stones and bet to get unexpected wealth, or drink and drink tea. The tip of the tongue is so fast.
Under the moonlight, the children gathered around the old man and listened to the legends and stories left from the Paleolithic Age, looking forward to it.
Adults may pay homage to their ancestors, pray for rain, pray for God to grant them a peaceful life, or listen to the wise old man narrate the joys and sorrows, so that their souls can be comforted, and they can also feel the meaning of life and gain the strength to live on.
The next day.
The red sun leaps out of the horizon and shines brightly on the earth.
Thump thump thump.
There was a knock on the door outside Peng You's bedroom.
Peng You woke up. He used to touch the delicate parchment roll with his hands, and then he remembered that he had sent it to Yao Yan'er last night. He seemed to be awake but smiled, but thinking about saying goodbye to Yao Yan'er today, it didn't feel right. .
Peng You thought it was the maid bringing water, and said to the door: "There is no need to prepare hot water for me, I will just make cold water."
A sharp and thin voice came from outside: "Young Master Peng, the slave family has prepared it for you. There is comfortable hot water and rich breakfast food."
When Peng You heard it was Yao Yan'er's voice, he felt happy and hurriedly got up.
He opened the door and saw that Yao Yan'er had changed into a rose purple dress and looked radiant.
Peng You shouted softly: "Yan'er."
Yao Yan'er laughed and said: "Brother Peng, you are very happy to see me first thing in the morning!" The natural fragrance from her body floated into Peng You's nose, refreshing her heart.
Peng You smiled and said, "That's natural. You are so happy to see me."
Yao Yan'er blushed and whispered: "I hate it." She handed a glass of water to Peng You and said: "Drinking a glass of water when you wake up in the morning is good for your health."
Peng You heard the words and took it, drank it all in one gulp, and felt that the water was so sweet. He said loudly: "It tastes good, it tastes really good!"
Yao Yan'er smiled and said: "You drink this ordinary water with such relish. You should not drink too much cold water. You still need to take good care of yourself."
Peng You suddenly heard Yao Yan'er's words and seemed to say goodbye, so he quickly asked: "Are you leaving now?"
Yao Yan'er said: "Where to go?"
Peng You asked doubtfully: "Go back to Dongyi Immortal City?"
Yao Yan'er pouted and said: "There is a letter over there. I don't know why we are allowed to stay and participate in the martial arts conference despite such a big event as Senior Brother's assassination."
Peng You said in surprise: "Is it true? Then you can participate in my coming-of-age and hair-raising ceremony!"
Yao Yan'er smiled and said: "Of course, it's great to be with you. I just don't want to go back to Dongyi and see the Immortal Master Namu and City Master Xue."
"City Lord Xue, it's been eighteen years, you're fine." The man with disheveled hair in the Dongyi Fairy Mountain dungeon smiled, and Xue Bian, who was across the cell door, was stunned.
Xue Bian trembled and said: "You, not only are you not dead, why are you still looking like that?"
Qian Zai chuckled and said, "Because I'm not a human being."
Xue Bian heard that he spoke clearly and saw that although his body was dirty, he was still healthy. He calmed down and asked, "Why are you here? How should I get out of here?"
Qian Zai replied: "Go out? Why go out? It's much safer here than outside." He glanced at Xue Bian and said, "Only Mu He knows this place. Are you beaten here by him?"
Xue Bian said hurriedly: "He is the only one who knows? Even if you built this place, you should know how to get out."
Qianzai looked up and said, "But you can't get out. You can only enter but not get out. Please let me know where you left off."
Xue Bian told him how the united divisions fought against Mu He.
Qian Zai laughed and said, "I helped Mu He rebel against his master back then, and now you rebel against him too. It's a pity that you didn't succeed."
He suddenly said faintly: "Invisible wall? Tidal shield? Who controls it? Wooden, wooden kite?"
When Xue Bian heard the other party mention his wife, he snorted and said, "You still have the nerve to mention her. You two were really romantic back then!"
Qian Zai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is she okay?"
Xue Bian smiled and said: "Okay? Very good. Haha, after she gave birth to your child, she committed suicide by taking poison!"
Qian Zai listened to the words and fell silent, sighing: "Oh, Yuan'er, it was me who harmed you." He seemed a little dizzy and asked Xue Bian: "Is the child a boy or a girl? What's his name?"
Xue Bian looked at Qian Zai and said casually: "So what if I tell you, the girl's name is Yao Yan'er."
Yao Yan'er and Peng You left Wangyue Hall and went out.
Two servants passing by were having a conversation, and one of them said, "Have you heard? Yesterday, the assassin bumped into the young princess, and the princess was losing her temper in the palace."
Another person said: "No, and the side hall of Lady Xuyu collapsed first yesterday, and then a fire broke out for no apparent reason in the middle of the night. I heard that two people were burned to death inside, but the fire was burning so brightly in the cold winter. "
When the two servants saw Peng You and Yao Yan'er, they stopped talking and bowed.
Peng You nodded and said to Yao Yan'er: "Yan'er, let's go see the butterflies."
Yao Yan'er hummed and followed Peng You to the Chaori Palace.
When the two of them approached the Chao Ri Palace, they heard the people inside losing their temper. Peng You and Yao Yan'er walked into the palace and saw Butterfly scolding Jinglong, but they saw Luo Chen and Loris standing nearby.
Princess Butterfly said loudly: "Jinglong, you are at the ninth level of combat power. You can't even catch a little assassin. You are so useless!"
Jinglong said unceremoniously: "This assassin did not hurt the queen or the princess. He was also stabbed by me. It is difficult to catch a person who is running for his life. What's my fault?"
Princess Butterfly snorted, and when she suddenly saw Peng You entering, she turned her anger into a smile and said, "Brother Peng, here you are, help me scold this Jinglong!"
Peng You walked to Princess Butterfly and said, "Butterfly, have you ever been injured?"
Princess Butterfly replied: "I'm not hurt. Thank you for your concern, brother." She looked at Yao Yan'er and said, "Princess Xiao Yan, your clothes are really beautiful." Yao Yan'er saluted and smiled.
When Jinglong, Luo Chen and Humulus saw Peng You and Yao Yaner entering, they bowed their hands and saluted. There were two corpses covered by white cloth beside them.
Peng You and Yao Yaner returned the gift.
The humming monkey smiled at Princess Butterfly and said, "Young princess, I wonder if you have any impression of the assassin who clashed yesterday?" Jinglong heard this and glanced at Peng You and Yao Yan'er.
Princess Butterfly frowned and said loudly: "I can recognize that person even if he turns into ashes!"
Luo Chen laughed and said, "That's good. There are still some bones here. Come and identify them." He pointed to the two burnt remains on the ground.
Seeing Butterfly's angry eyes about to explode, the humming monkey said hurriedly: "Princess, don't be angry, Master Luo Chen is joking, there should be no assassins among these two people." Although Yao Yan'er knew that Xiaoyu was still in Wangyue Palace, she was also startled.
Peng You asked the loris: "Why are these two victims not buried and paid for, but placed here?"
The humming monkey faced Peng You and replied: "Back to Master Peng, half of Xuyu's side hall collapsed and then caught fire. We cleaned up the two corpses, but no one was lost during the inspection of the palaces."
Peng You and Yao Yan'er frowned slightly after hearing this, each wondering why two unidentified corpses appeared.
Luo Chen raised his hands and said to Jinglong: "Lord Jinglong, I just counted the Dongyi Immortal Master team. No one is missing. I'll leave first."
Jinglong cupped his hands and said, "Walk slowly."
Princess Butterfly suddenly said: "Fat man, wait a minute, why is the woman who saved my brother that day missing?" Peng You and Yao Yan'er heard this and Mu Ran became nervous.
