Chapter 17: The First Entering Nanjun Storm
In the early morning, the roosters reported dawn, and the road to Cangshan was hidden in the gray fog. Chongsheng and the other two who had left Zeyu Village stepped onto the official road to Tianguonan County City.
The numbness of Zeyu Village and the tragedy of the green dog deeply shocked Chongsheng. Is it an unkind world or a human being a beast or a human being a beast? This question has been thought about for a long time and has not been answered.
The Chongsheng in the deep palace was only a little heard of folk affairs through the mouths of the palace servants, but this time the death was deeply engraved in Chongsheng's heart.
Teacher Yuan said that heaven and earth divide yin and yang, and human nature has good and evil. Everyone is a contradiction composed of black and white. The political system of the country will influence the bias of human nature and infinitely amplify the good and evil of human nature.
Perhaps in a country where food and clothing are free and well-behaved, the evil of the evil will be hidden deep in his heart, so deep that he even forgets himself.
The prosperous era that Chongsheng hopes for is such a country where evil people do not evil and good people are better.
The waves of wolf howls came from the lush forests of the foggy mountains, breaking the tranquility of the early morning journey. For some reason, Chongsheng felt a little intimate when he heard the wolf howl.
This is probably the cuckoo seeing them off.
It only takes half a day to walk from Zeyu Village to Tianguonan County City. After leaving the mountain road of Longxia Ridge, you can already see the gate of Nanjun City from afar.
There are six holy cities in the Middle Earth continent, one in Kyoto Haotian City, and one in Nanjun. If you look at the low and dilapidated city gate of Nanjun City alone, it is difficult for you to associate it with the name of the holy city.
There are two mountains in Nanjun, one is called Longhu Mountain and the other is called Wuliang Mountain.
No one can tell whether Longhu Mountain is high or Wuliang Mountain is high.
Even if you have a measuring ruler, you will not dare to say the result after measuring it.
Because Longhu Mountain is the holy mountain of the Taoist priests in the world, and Wuliang Mountain is the holy mountain of the Taoist priests in the world.
Taoist priests are common, but alchemists are not common.
The so-called Tao is the law. Heaven and earth are transformed by Tao, and all things are Tao. Those who practice Tao seek immortality, worship gods, train their bodies and elixirs, and are Taoist priests.
The alchemist also seeks immortality, and also trains his body and refines elixirs, but does not worship gods. The alchemist worships the heaven and earth, the four symbols, and the five elements.
The Taoist sect in the world is dominated by famous mountains, with branches and leaves, and a sect and sect. Taoist temples can be seen everywhere, which is very powerful.
But alchemists are different. Alchemists come from top to bottom, with only one lineage, traveling around the world, the earth is used as a bed, the sky is used as a cover, and sleeping in the wind and dew. Wherever alchemists go, they are the soul of alchemists. The alchemists in the entire Middle Earth continent only have the base of Xuyu Palace, the Dragon and Tiger Mountain.
The alchemists who wander around the world always look like they are dusty, neither seeking money nor profit. Someone once asked the Taoist about the Beidou Nanhua, the current alchemist, why is the alchemist who is busy with me? Nanhua answered, it is true!
What is true? The truth, the true feelings, and the true nature.
Therefore, there are more than one thousand famous Taoist priests in the world, but there are not many famous Taoist priests in the world.
Even so, the Taoist sect never dared to underestimate the Taoist sect. Master Wuhen, the master of the Three Pure Contemporary Temple in Wuliang Mountain, once said that even if there is only one Taoist sect left in the world, it is enough to compete with the Taoist sect.
Even though Chongsheng was extremely eager to arrive at Haotian City, Kyoto, he had already made plans to visit Xuyu Palace when he arrived in Nanjun of Tianguo.
Just like the low gate of Nanjun City, Nanjun City is not big, with two long streets and six forks, simple bluestone bricks, and weeping willows by the quiet river. As the saying goes, the road is simple.
Walking in the Nanjun city, Taoist priests and alchemists in high crowns and buns, dressed in Taoist robes, could see each other everywhere. They passed by each other, nodded and looked at each other, and were polite.
"It's true that it's the capital of etiquette!" Chongsheng observed passers-by, compared with the cold Zeyu Village before, and said with some joy.
"Young Master, let's find an inn to stay. After lunch, how about going to Longhu Mountain?" Kurong said while looking for the inn.
"Okay! Remember to buy three horses. There are still five hundred miles away from Haotian City. We will delay for several days. We will hurry up and hurry up." After Chongsheng said that, Kurong and Wang Zuo nodded.
"Save someone quickly, someone has fallen into the water!"
A cry for help suddenly came from a short distance. Chongsheng took two steps in three steps, and rushed to the long bridge by the river after searching for the sound.
I saw the long bridge, bustling with people, and I was just calling for help, but no one went into the water.
The person who fell into the water kept struggling in the river and drank several large sips of river water. Seeing that he was exhausted, he was about to sink into the water.
"Brother-in-law, why is no one going to the water to save people?" There were too many people, and Chongsheng couldn't squeeze by the bridge. In desperation, he asked the onlookers.
"This Jingshui River is the holy river of Xuyu Palace in Longhu Mountain. Who in Nanjun dares to go into the water to pollute the holy water? If there were no foreigners, this person would be in danger. Where is the person? Where did the person I asked me about? "Before the old man who was watching finished speaking, Chongsheng had already jumped up and jumped down the bridge.
He gently tapped the river surface, floating on the water like a dragonfly kissing a lotus. The water grabbed the arms of the person who fell into the water, and a swallow waved his tail in the air, dragged the person who fell into the water out of the river.
The man who fell into the water was scared and grabbed Chongsheng's robe tightly and refused to let go. He vomited several mouthfuls of river water in his mouth.
"Brother, it's okay." Chongsheng put the fallen man on the ground, but the fallen man still grabbed his robe with his hands.
The people watching on the shore came cheering. After all, when they floated on the water, they could drag an adult man out of the river without leveraging their strength, and it was indeed rare to have no way to get wet shoes.
"Thank you for saving me." After vomiting water in the water, the man in the water thanked Chongsheng with difficulty.
"It's just a matter of raising hands." Chongsheng still had an iconic smile.
The man who fell into the water repeatedly thanked him and left, and the crowds of onlookers quickly dispersed, leaving only Chongsheng and three others on the long bridge.
"Ku Rong, Wang Zuo, do you feel strange?" Chongsheng asked suddenly after standing there for a long time.
"Young Master, why is it strange?" Kurong was a little puzzled.
"Who can remember the appearance of the man who fell into the water just now?"
"Uncle, you said this, I can't remember the appearance of that person." Wang Zuo touched his head and thought for a long time, and Ku Rong shook his head.
"not good!".
"What's wrong with the young master?"
"The silver bill is gone." Chongsheng touched the pocket in his robe, and an unconcealed loss appeared on his face.
"All of them are gone?" Wang Zuo asked anxiously.
"No, it seems like one is left." Chongsheng took out the only silver note from his robe, and Wang Zuo and Ku Rong were stunned.
What remains is not a silver note, but a note. Chongsheng opened it and saw it: "I deserve to save people. You get your name and I will benefit from it. If you want to get the money back, see the Supreme Gambling House in the west of the city before dark."
"That's more than 20,000 taels! What should we do?" Wang Zuo's face turned yellow after saying that, and he couldn't stand steadily.
"Someone can steal silver bills from the young master without knowing it. Who is this person? Young Master, let's go to the Supreme Gambling House quickly." Ku Rong knew that the more than 20,000 taels of silver bills would determine his and Chongsheng's future plans, and he would never fail, so he said anxiously.
"I have a wonderful hand, and I have no feelings when I enter my arms. I have a disguise of my fortune and I can't recognize it when I face it. I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful thief." Chongsheng sighed with expressionless expression.
"Even if we go to that Supreme Gambling House, no one can recognize the thief." Wang Zuo said in frustration.
