  Chapter 36: Dependence on Wealth and Disaster

   Eastern Flower City is built along the river. As the capital of a country, it is The north-south transportation hub, the Bailu River Channel is day and night, and ships enter the water gate of Riverfacing Lane at all times.

On the branch of the moon, in the Tang Family wine shop in the small street of the dock, a few regular customers push their cups and change their cups. Tang Jingxun goes around in it day after day. No one notices. A small merchant ship is silent. The ground drifted across the wide river channel outside the door.

The merchant ship is not too big, but the draft is very deep, there is no light or fire on it, and the entire cabin is covered with linen cloth, which looks like it is full of cargo.

Standing at the stern of the ship was a shipmaster in a fur coat, holding a penny, and sailing the ship to the depths of the capital.

Eastern Flower City has an inland river extending in all directions and can reach any square city.

The merchant ship traveled for a long time in the river, and finally came to the most prosperous Changning Square, and stopped in a quiet place.

The night is faint, and in the brothel wine shop on Xinghua Street in the distance, there is a faint happy laughter and cheerful voices pushing a cup and changing a cup.

The sailor in a sash coat put down the penny, walked to the bow and sat cross-legged, waited quietly for a moment, and then a small carriage stopped on the shore.

The driver on the carriage, with a knife on his waist, began to patrol the surroundings after getting off the car.

In the carriage, Wang Zheng from the household department bowed and walked out, wearing an ordinary robe. After getting out of the car, he glanced around the surrounding area and walked down the riverside stairs quickly. On the merchant ship, looking at the cabin covered by linen:

   ”Zhao Ze, what is this time?”

“Golden Mao roar.”

Zhao dressed up by the shipmaster Ze, with a flute inserted around his waist, has an ordinary face, looks about forty, and has excellent skin, just like the cultivator in Perching Phoenix Valley. He walked out of the cabin and raised his hand and patted:

  ”This thing is not so powerful, the roar is thundering, the claws can crush rocks, and people in ordinary cultivation can’t stand it. Tiger bone has aphrodisiac effects…”

Wang Zheng stood with his hands behind, slightly dissatisfied:

   ”Which time did you not say that? The last time the’four-legged earth dragon’, you said that a hundred and eighty people couldn’t stop it, and ended up in Riverfacing Lane After a big fight, I died a little catch. The second day I waited to mention it in the court, Crown Princess casually was revealed.”

“After all, it is a beast, no spirituality, and was killed. It’s normal to kill it. This one is more powerful. There are so many people in the street in front that it will go crazy. It is not a big problem to kill dozens of people. If there is no major event in the capital, King Lie and Zong will not impeach Crown Princess and Perching Phoenix Valley; Princess does not return to power, how will Li Xiang take power? There is no pressure in Perching Phoenix Valley, how do you find out the reality of the Imperial Teacher? How to make Perching Phoenix Valley “Hundred Saints Valley”?”

“Master Wang, I can’t wait to find a way. You Imperial Teacher Yue Pingyang, at least the Old Ancestor of Linggu 6 Layers, is more heavenly than ours. Venerable cultivation is still high. I don’t know the situation. I’m waiting to dare to operate unscrupulously in secret. In case Yue Pingyang suddenly pops up, Heavenly Venerable can slap ass and leave. We disciples and grandchildren all have body dies and Dao disappears. This is an urgent matter. No.”

Wang Zheng lightly snorted, but he didn’t refute it.

Zhao Ze thought about it and looked towards the imperial city in the distance:

“Master Wang, you forced Crown Princess to choose Prince Consort, what happened?”

“Prince Consort is chosen, but if it returns to the emperor, Crown Princess will inevitably drag on for a while.”

“That’s good, as long as Li Xiang is in power, Yue Pingyang will be like me. The cultivation base is damaged as much as we thought, and our Heavenly Venerable enters the Perching Phoenix Valley, and there is no hindrance.”

“It’s simple to say, there is no major event in the capital, how can I force the Imperial Teacher shows up? The teacher suffers untold hardships to clear the way for you to transport these animals into the capital, but it is not for you to give the Imperial Court tribute to Heaven and Earth Treasure…”

Wang Zheng said that, again looked towards the cabin:

“By the way, is this golden roar really aphrodisiac?”

Zhao Ze grinned: “The alias’golden spear roar’, notoriously domineering, used to Soak in wine, 80-year-old old man can regain his glory.”

“That line, I will kill the arrester later, get some over, um… filial piety to Li Xiang. Li Xiang is very old. Now, sometimes it’s not enough, it’s normal…”

“Understood.”

Zhao Ze knew it, turning around and going to lift the tarpaulin covering the cabin.

Wang Zheng was about to leave, but he remembered something, raised his hand and said:

   ”Wait. This time I chose Prince Consort. I wanted to put an eyeliner next to Princess, but Princess chose An outsider, Li Xiang has been urging me to find a way to change to my own. This is a bit difficult.”

Zhao Ze heard this and understood:

   ”Master Wang wanted I’ll wait to settle the matter? It’s as simple as telling me the name and place of residence, so I’m sure to disappear completely.”

Wang Zheng showed an idiot look:

   ”You are in the cultivation. People, everything is straightforward. The Prince Consort just chosen by Princess died unclearly, and Princess will definitely be vigilant. If this is the reason, if the cause of the death of Prince Consort is not found out, the major event will not be broken.”

Zhao Ze thought for a while, then looked towards the cabin: “Why don’t you roar this golden retriever and put it in the Prince Consort’s house? You died in misfortune, you Princess can’t find an excuse, right?”

Wang Zheng raised his hand and touched his beard. He thought it was a good way. He thought about it:

   ”Forget it this time, it’s too abrupt and won’t necessarily kill you. I’ll go back and pay attention. I’ll let you know if you have the opportunity.”

“That’s right, Master Wang, go slowly.”

After watching the carriage leave, Zhao Ze untied the linen covering the cabin.

Under the linen is a large iron cage, inside which is faintly revealed the outline of a giant beast.

Zhao Ze looked around and took out the jade flute around his waist; the quiet flute sound came out and merged with the shengge on the street, but for a moment, sleeping giant beast, he opened the scarlet pupils… …

——

  Remaining clouds cover the moon.

Xinghua Street is full of lanterns, and Yingshengyan speaks all night.

Among the brothel, Old Lu sullenly, his gaze stayed in the wine glass in his hand.

The remnant wine in the cup reflects the graceful dancers; the piano, flute and drums compose a song of bliss in the world.

Old Lu once saw the scenery of the fairy house, and has long forgotten about these scenes. At this time, he experienced it again. He didn’t realize the fun of his youth. On the contrary, it deepened the depression in his heart.

Everyone has been young, and so is Old Lu.

Old Lu was originally a farmer’s young official, and accidentally ran into immortal Transcending Tribulation in the mountains, knowing that there are immortals in the world. Before returning home to say goodbye to his parents, he took a trekking stick and a passion for embarking on the long cultivation path.

The road is difficult to walk, and after going around for more than ten years, I found a fairy mountain where I can get started.

Enter the outer sect, carry water and sweep the floor, cook and wash rice…

A method of refining Qi, from a passionate blood to a gray-haired face.

Fortunately, the heavens will not fail those who are faithful. Finally, before the life essence is exhausted, a hint of longevity is felt; after that, it will be a century of high-spirited and vigorous.

Murdering to seize the treasures, imperial city, ask the sword, capture the demon in the four seas, travel Nine Heavens…

He has gone through all the things a cultivator can go through, but finally It was discovered that he was a human being after all, and he still hadn’t cultivated into an immortal.

Walking to the end of the limit again, he looked back on the past and suddenly found that he had missed a lot of things on the way.

Before my death, the old lady still looked at the village entrance, and she agreed with Dao Companion to “walk hand in hand”…

He used to think he was born as a fairy, one man one sword Suffice it to stop the mortal world.

On the verge of death, he discovered that he was just a pitiful person who was lonely and dying.

I want to find the soulmate I used to see, but I only saw a lone grave.

I wanted to go back to my hometown and talk to my parents, but found that even the grave was gone.

Looking around, he is the only one left in this vast world.

This is the first time Old Lu feels he deserves to die. After all, everyone around him has already gone to the other side.

With this thought, the longevity path, which is already difficult to advance, is completely cut off in the heart.

This is also the reason why Old Lu sits here, drinking flower wine with a brat-what else can he do besides feel at home wherever one is?

“Old Lu, you…what are you in a daze…one more cup…”

In brothel, the enchanting singer plays the piano.

The drunk Zuo Yunting, lying on the table with a wine glass in his hand, staggered and touched Old Lu.

Old Lu sighed, stood up and walked to the window, looked towards the secular city outside.

The only regret in this life is the sword at the waist.

The reason why Old Lu stopped here is just to find the junior who is out in the mountains and see what Heaven Blessed Genius is like.

And that junior staying in such a small place, with too little knowledge, no matter how good the perception is, it will eventually be dusted.

There is no swordsman in the world who bears the heart to see a famous sword in the dust, and Old Lu is the same.

Unfortunately, the Perching Phoenix Valley searched by Old Lu did not find anyone who could match the conditions.

Old Lu didn’t know if it was a misstep, or the junior had already left. It would be meaningless to find it like this. To save time, he had to draw the snake out of the cave.

At this point, Old Lu pulled out the engraved sword jade token from his sleeve robe. Without moving his lips, he only said with his heart:
   ”Qi Jia, help me do something.”

True Qi infusion, the hidden array in the jade token lit up, but after a while, there was a response;

   ”Oh, Old Lu, I am drinking with Fairy from Shock Dew Platform What’s up? Did you find the genius you mentioned?”

“Nothing, but there is a good seedling. He is only seventeen years old, and his body is close to the 12th layer of Qi refining. , I feel that my future achievements are higher than you.”

“Hey—I don’t like to listen to these words. It’s just that big and broken place. There can be two people who are better than me. You treat me as the roadside. The cabbage on the table is not good? No need to find it, it must be the kid, just bring it back.”

“The conditions are too far apart. They don’t look the same. You have to look at it again.”

“Ai, digging seedlings from other people’s gardens is equivalent to white prostitution. What else to look at? Old Lu, when you are old, how come you have become mother-in-law, not like a swordsman at all. Forget it. , What do you want me to do?”

“Nine Sects exchanges the discipline at the end of the year, you find a way to move around, let the Shock Dew Platform give three places here, see if it can lead to that swordsman; by the way, also stimulate that Good seed, see if you can help it break through…”

“I know, oh…I said it must be a person…”

……

After a few moments of chatting, the jade token streamer disappeared.

Old Lu put away the jade token and turned around, only to find that Zuo Yunting, who was lying on the table, had already got under the table and snored.

Old Lu walked to the front and squatted down and patted Zuo Yunting’s face:

“Little friend Yunting, where is your home? The old man will send you back.”

p>

Zuo Yunting, who was drunk and muddy, opened his eyes swayingly, then got up and hooked Old Lu’s neck:

   ”I’m not drunk, keep going…Where did I talk?”

Old Lu didn’t mind the junior’s shoulders, took out an ingot of gold from his sleeve and placed it on the table, supporting Zuo Yunting down the stairs.

Zuo Yunting was so drunk that he couldn’t stand still. He didn’t forget to say goodbye to the old bustard, and then swayed, he climbed onto the donkey with the help of the young man.

Old Lu put on the hat, looked towards the shadow of Xinghua Street, and walked there with the donkey.

Although it was late at night, the pedestrians on Xinghua Street were still crowded. Two people passed by the pedestrians with a donkey, which also caused a lot of laughter.

However, the laughter soon stopped abruptly.

“ao ——”

The donkey hadn’t walked out a few steps, and a deafening tiger roar came from the side of the street in the distance, which directly shocked many pedestrians to the ground.

Zuo Yunting, who was lying on the donkey, was shivered all over, and fell down. He scrambled up and looked towards the distance, but he saw a large golden coat on the street outside the hundred zhang. Tiger.

The big tiger is more than two zhang long, with limbs like beams and pillars, and its tail like a steel whip. It sweeps through the houses on the street at will, and brings up a piece of rubble.

“Mom—-“

Zuo Yunting was sober in an instant, and sat down on the ground with fright.

Old Lu went this way deliberately, just to let Zuo Yunting sober up. At this time, when the goal was achieved, he used his fingers as a sword, and wanted to crush the little tiger who harmed the common people.

It’s just that when Old Lu was about to quietly take a shot, suddenly the world turned around.

Zuo Yunting, who was so scared ashen-faced, climbed to his feet and ran back, carrying him, and said:

  ”You old fart, scared stupid Come on, you? Hurry up, you live enough, but I don’t live enough…”

Old Lu was carried on his shoulders, and in his deep eyes like a spring, it was rare to see a bit of surprise:

“You are brat, I thought you brat was scared and stupid.

.”

It’s just that Zuo Yunting fled in a panic, so there is no intention to listen to this.

Old Lu no longer speaks, his fingers move slightly. Hundred zhang’s giant tiger, tumbling outwards, fell to the ground at the same time without any injuries, except for a needle-eye-sized blood mark on his forehead…
