"Xia"'s life in Huangdu started again. She got used to the daily routine and the delicious food here. Everyone gradually regarded this place as their new home. And as Zhai Qiuzi said, not only did everyone not pay back the money they owed, but they also accumulated more and more debts. Only Huzi and Lingdang's wages had been advanced to October of the next year. Now it's better. , I want to leave but I can’t.
But everyone really couldn't stay here for too long. Mu Ziyun and Kite spent most of their time in the library in Huangdu, eager to find clues about the longevity flower. In order to facilitate everyone's exit from the city, Zhai Qiuzi made an exception and promoted them directly. After having the new status of leader, they do not have to do too many chores. They still have the freedom of the original level and the responsibility of guarding Huangdu when necessary. Fang Tianmu and Du Xiaoyue ran out all day long, searching for clues about longevity flowers. Zhuan Wangdong inquired about a strange village. That village once saved his life, but once he left the village, he could not find his way back.
As for the demon sword, it is said that all kinds of creatures have almost turned over Xiaono Village, but there is no trace of the demon sword. Many people come back to settle accounts with Zhai Qiuzi. This time Zhai Qiuzi is not polite. Anyone who comes to look for trouble must die. After half a month, no living thing dared to cause trouble. And in just a few months, the creatures not only failed to find the treasure in Ono Village, but also lost hundreds of lives inexplicably. They all disappeared inexplicably, and when they were found again, they were already corpses.
Xiaoli changed his name to "Tang Daoyuan" and still wore a mask. He has been following Huzi and Lingdang to eat, drink and have fun in Huangdu City. At first, he was timid and shy, but now he is living happily. .
Three months have passed, and it is the New Year for humans in Huangdu City. Everyone is twenty-one years old, but Hu Zi is twenty-four, Du Xiaoyue is twenty-two, and Mu Ziyun left home at the age of seventeen. It has been four years now, and the stories of these four years are too many and too complex for them to talk about for a lifetime when they return to their hometown. There hasn't been much snow here in the winter, and even if it does, it's just a thin stream of smoke and nothing to see. But the New Year in Huangdu City is the real "New Year". The city is decorated with lights and colors, and the city gates are pasted with red paper. Lanterns are hung all over the city, lions and dragons dance, firecrackers and lanterns are all available. All the people in Huangdu don’t have to do any work on this day, they just need to reunite as a family and have fun.
Next New Year
Intoxicated by alcohol, Mu Ziyun staggered to Zhai Qiuzi's door, knocked on it, and knelt down to pay New Year's greetings. Zhai Qiuzi welcomed him to the table. After sitting down, Zhai Qiuzi poured wine for him and said with a smile: "You can't stay any longer. Do you want to leave?"
Recommended, I am currently using the Zhuishu app to cache reading and read aloud offline!
"Old man?" Mu Ziyun said drunkenly, "Why do you think I am a suitable candidate to succeed the great monarch? We had just met at that time, and we caused a lot of trouble. Osiris, the god of death, took over half of Huangdu City. All the soldiers were... hiccup... killed, and besides... I... hiccup... to be honest, in our team, that boy Fang Tianmu is actually better than me. ....”
Zhai Qiuzi put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile, "But you are the leader, aren't you?"
Mu Ziyun smiled and replied: "The leader is Hu Zi, I listen to him."
Zhai Qiuzi smiled and said nothing, playing with the tea leaves. He was very good at making tea. Every detail seemed unexpected and reasonable. Mu Ziyun was half-conscious and half-conscious when he realized that the cup in front of him was full. He raised his hand to He tried to catch it, but failed three or four times because he was drunk. When he finally caught it, he didn't have the ability to taste tea. He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. At the end, he felt it was hot, but he was seven or eight points more drunk.
Zhai Qiuzi then said: "Among you, only Miss Kite has learned Taoism. I guess she is already a member of Taoism."
"Oh? You can see this?" Mu Ziyun sighed.
Zhai Qiuzi replied: "Of course, because I am also one of the Taoists. Taoists have a 'heart network' and can see thousands of connections in the world. The kite girl may have told you that the so-called connections are expressed in the form of links. 'Golden Threads'. People with more golden threads on their bodies mean that they have more connections with the world, and things in the world are more affected by them. The 'golden threads' on your body are very special..."
"What's so special?" Mu Ziyun asked.
"Actually, it's not just you. The 'golden threads' on your group are very special. They are connected for a long time and cannot be seen to the end at a glance. Their number is dozens of times that of ordinary people. Especially you, There are a hundred times more 'golden threads' than ordinary people. The more connections a person has with the world, the more suitable he is to be the great monarch of Huangdu. As for why, you will understand if you become the great monarch. On this basis, you guys The golden thread on the kid's body, even though
It’s complicated, but in the end there will be a few things that all converge on you, so I say, you are the leader. Before you, Ge Yuan's 'golden thread' was the most suitable to be a great monarch. "
"Is he really that strong?" Mu Ziyun asked in disbelief, "If I fight him hard, I won't necessarily lose miserably."
"No" Zhai Qiuzi shook his head and said, "Even if the eight of you work together now, you will not be Ge Yuan's opponent."
"Ah, this is too exaggerated, old man, I don't believe it!"
"You haven't seen his methods. The Sword Immortal is not alone. He seems to be a ranger alone. In fact, he has many shadows, and each shadow is ridiculously powerful. You risk your life, and even his 'shadow' None of them can defeat him, the qualifications of the eight of you are not as good as his, this is an ironclad fact, if he becomes the great monarch, he will definitely be the strongest being in history."
"Then why am I still the most suitable?"
"Didn't I just say it? Your connection with the world is much better than Ge Yuan's, and... for some reason, the connection you can reach with Mother Phoenix should be the most suitable one. , it is very likely that the human and the phoenix have become one, and the mother phoenix will like you more, and this city is built on the mother phoenix, so you, Ge Yuan, are more suitable to be the great monarch. Unfortunately, you can't stay, you The 'golden threads' on your body are all in their infancy, symbolizing the beginning of contact, which means that you still have too much to go, but Ge Yuan is different. He is just traveling around the world and can stop at any time. It's a pity that you , I can’t stop even if I want to.”
Mu Ziyun was silent for a moment and said: "After spring, we will go to the Three Holy Mountains to have a look. We might be able to find the holy beasts and the calendar clock."
"Go." Zhai Qiuzi's eyes showed compassion, and his tone was a little sad, but this sadness was not reluctance, but a kind of sympathy that Mu Ziyun couldn't detect. He said: "You guys You have been away from home for too long. From now on, this will be your home in this world. When looking for longevity flowers, use this place as the center. When you are tired of searching, come back here and rest for a while."
"That's great. To be honest, I'm really reluctant to leave."
Zhai Qiuzi took out a jar of thousand-year-old wine and drank with Mu Ziyun under the moonlight. This night was extremely long, it seemed to be a gift from God and also its mercy.
