Chapter 38 Luoshui City

I don't know when Tao Bo added another habit, smoking an ebony cigarette bag and spitting smoke rings all day long, in the fog.

"I said silly boy, what have you eaten recently? Seeing you, you will get fat..." Tao Bo followed Jiang Hanye with a cigarette bag pot and muttered.

"How can you be fat?" Jiang Hanye said. It's just getting stronger."

"Is it?" Tao Bo narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Hanye, and from time to time he had to say a few words, "There is less water, make some more..." Tao Bo ordered.

"Master, is your bucket getting bigger again?" Jiang Hanye asked while getting water from the well. Jiang Hanye is very clear about how much water this bucket can hold. He used to fill a bucket five times, but today he has hit seven or eight buckets of water, and the big barrel still has nearly half of the capacity left.

"Cough!" Tao Bo coughed and said to him, "I heard that your master has eaten you well recently."

"Tao Bo..." Jiang Hanye looked up at the old man with tears and laughter. He always likes to do something to make fun of people. "Don't talk to me. Has this bucket been replaced again?"

"Cough, you silly boy, you are not smart in other places. You are so lazy in practicing practice. You are smart." Tao Bo kowtowed the cigarette pot on the edge of the well and said helplessly, "Isn't it for your own good? That bucket has been carried around for more than two years. Oh, you are allowed to grow fat by yourself, and you are not allowed to make this bucket a little bigger.

"I said, these two times I felt that it was very difficult to lift..." Jiang Hanye smiled and said, "How many pounds are there this time?"

"This time, the iron hoop alone has more than 100 catties, and with the weight of old wood, it has to be 200 catties anyway." Tao Bo narrowed his eyes and said.

Jiang Hanye spit out his tongue after hearing this: "The barrel skin alone is more than 200 catties. If you want to count this water, it must be heavier? You are deliberately tossing me..." Although that's the case, Jiang Hanye was still very grateful to Uncle Tao. Since Tao Bo forcibly accepted him as an apprentice, although he did not teach him any great principles of skills and mind, he was only allowed to lift water every day. However, since he began to help Taobo lift water, Jiang Hanye obviously felt that his arm strength was increasing rapidly, which was much stronger than those brothers who practiced in Wanjian Villa at the same time. Now two years Time passed, and others were still working hard on the day after tomorrow, and he had unconsciously broken through the threshold of the three days after tomorrow and became the best one of his disciples in the same year.

"You stupid boy, what do you know?" Tao Bo held a cigarette pot in one hand, held a crutch in the other, and said with his eyes, "Didn't I let you expand the vegetable garden? Don't look at it too much, but it's only half the water you need..."

"Tao Bo, who the hell are you?" Jiang Hanye asked many times, "Look, more than two years have passed, what it used to be like now, and you haven't aged at all... You won't be an old fairy, will you?"

"Bad boy, tease me again, go and pick up water and water the garden!" Taobo's cigarette pot knocked on Jiang Hanye's head and scolded, "Don't ask about me every day. Who else can I be? An old immortal, looking at the cemetery!"

Out of Tao Bo, the night was dark, and Jiang Hanye walked easily on the way back. Today, he was in high spirits and hummed two small songs from time to time.

Unconsciously, it has been two and a half since he entered Wanjian Villa. Now he is no longer the thin and small teenager in those years. In two and a half years, his size has rushed, almost catching up with the size of the fourth brother, his voice has become thicker and his skeleton has become larger. In addition, Jiang Hanye is most proud of what he has just passed the fourth assessment and has officially become a three-level martial artist the day after tomorrow.

When walking on the road, Jiang Hanye secretly twisted the spell, and suddenly emitted a chill from his whole body. A faint chill enveloped his whole body, and with Jiang Hanye's breath, he became stronger or weaker.

Now the skill promoted by Jiang Hanye is the Frost and Cold Barrier by Professor Ji Shangxuan more than two years ago. After experiencing the initial confusion, Jiang Hanye has been able to collect this cold air freely and sacrifice two ice shields behind his chest.

"Yoho, little brother, you are really hardworking, and you don't even forget to practice when you walk..."

Jiang Hanye was so selfless that he didn't notice that someone was passing behind him. He turned around and smiled, "Second brother, are you back?"

The second brother Ji Yuan is the funniest of the four brothers. He often bursts out a joke on the dinner table, causing everyone to spray rice. No one has great troubles, you will forget it. Therefore, among the four brothers, except for Ji Feng, Jiang Hanye's favorite is Ji Yuan.

"Yes, I have basically collected all the goods that the deacon ordered me to buy. I'm waiting for the day when the military will be sent on September 3rd, and I'm going to reply." Ji Yuan shook the list in his hand and said to Jiang Hanye, "Oh, brother, come back to my room!"

"Why?" Jiang Hanye was stunned.

"It's a hot day. Come and apply a frost and cold barrier, and my room will definitely cool down!" When Ji Yuan said this, he had gone far away, leaving only a string of laughter behind him.

Jiang Hanye shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Why can these two brothers tell a joke?"

Speaking of these three schools of martial arts, it is a grand event that has attracted worldwide attention. At that time, not only martial arts people, but also ordinary people will be lively. These three schools are Wanjian Villa, Baihua Valley and Xumi Mountain, and they are also the three most popular schools in the world today.

The source of the three schools of martial arts can be traced back to more than 3,000 years ago. At that time, the leaders of the three sects were the three brothers and sisters of Jinlan Jieyi. In order to urge their disciples to practice martial arts diligently, they decided to hold a competition every 60 years, that is, since then, this custom has been preserved. This year's three faction martial arts meeting was held at Wanjian Villa.

Although the whole Wanjian Villa is rich in food and clothing, many people will come to the other two factions this time, so naturally we can't neglect our fellow martial arts, so although there are still more than three months to go before the martial arts, the Wanjian Villa began to prepare early.

It is necessary to prepare what the sisters and sisters in Baihua Valley and other women need, to prepare the fast food for the brothers and sisters in Xumi Mountain, and vacave out the guest rooms in two yards to sweep them day by day until the guests arrive.

In fact, Jiang Hanye is still looking forward to the martial arts of the three factions. After so long on the mountain, he has also played all the places to play. Every day, he goes back and forth to see these brothers and uncles. He really wants to see the people of other sects, see how the people of the legendary world's first sect, Xumishan, are, and see how the Hundred Flowers Valley in the world is rumored to be. How many beautiful women.

Now Jiang Hanye no longer needs to go to Wuxing Hall to receive basic skills training, so he can freely allocate his time every day. With the passage of time, all the previous events have been gradually forgotten. In addition to practicing kung fu, he is playing carefree, and his life is also free.

"Little brother!" Jiang Hanye only took two steps, and the shout of the second brother Ji Yuan came from behind him. He stopped and looked back. The second brother passed by like the wind and came to him from dozens of feet away in the blink of an eye.

In Wanjian Villa, almost everyone has their own characteristics, because the elders in the villa adhere to the idea of teaching according to their aptitude, especially the disciples. Although these brothers of Jiang Hanye are all disciples of a master, almost everyone has their own characteristics. The second brother in front of him is as fast as the wind. His ability to fly through the fog in the clouds is beyond the reach of others. At present, this second brother has also broken through the innate second floor and become second only to the big one. A disciple of my brother.

"Second brother?" Jiang Hanye was stunned, "What's the matter?"

"You have been on the mountain for a long time, haven't you?" Ji Yuan asked.

"Well, it's been two and a half years!" Jiang Hanye thought secretly, isn't it? He was still a child who didn't know anything when he came, but now he is already a 14-year-old young man. Time is like a white horse passing by, fleeting.

"I'm going to the next mountain and go to Luoshui City tomorrow. Would you like to go with me?" Ji Yuan blinked and asked. Ji Yuan likes Jiang Hanye very much. In his eyes, this little brother is diligent, studious, and honest. He doesn't have those thoughts and flowers. He is very straightforward. He likes upright people, so he thinks about Jiang Hanye first.

"This..." Jiang Hanye wanted to go very much, "But will Master allow it?" He hesitated.

"What are you afraid of? With your brother and me, let's go back morning and evening. It's okay. If you want to go, get up early tomorrow!" After saying that, Ji Yuan left like another gust of wind.

Jiang Hanye tossed and turned around all night, because he was about to go to Luoshui, the capital. Luoshui is the capital of the Great Chen Dynasty and the lifeblood of the whole Central Plains. It is located on the plain 400 miles north of Shouyang Peak.

"Thinking of my cold night, except for Woniu Town and this Wanjian Villa, I haven't been to many other places since I was a child, but I don't know what the famous Luoshui City looks like?" Jiang Hanye thought about it over and over again, and unconsciously the chicken crowed.

Bang bang!

There was a gentle knock on the door and the voice of the second brother.

"Little brother, get up!" Ji Yuan lowered his voice and shouted, "We have to go early to play."

This second brother is also very old, but he still looks like he is in his 20s. He is skillful and playful. He often brings a lot of strange things from the foot of the mountain to Jiang Hanye and Ji Mingyu and Ji Mingyu, so these children are right. He is very close.

"It's coming!" Jiang Hanye answered, turned over, washed his face randomly and opened the door. For this moment, he actually lay all night in his clothes.

The second brother's magic weapon is a strange sword. The body of the sword is wide and flat, and it looks gray. He also named the sword Zhongxuzi, which sounds very elegant and lives a very comfortable life. Every day, Ji Yuan has to wash Zhongxuzi's sword body three times, and also muttering to him for half a day. In Ji Yuan's words, every magic weapon is spiritual, and the magic weapon is equal to others.

After going out, Ji Yuan twisted the spell to sacrifice Zhong Xuzi, and the already wide sword body became the size of a bench. Ji Yuan and Jiang Hanye jumped up one after another and only heard Ji Yuan shouting: "Get up!" Then Xuzi pulled through the air and flew into the clouds.

At this time, it was summer. Originally, Jiang Hanye still felt a little hot, but when he got into the clouds, he suddenly felt cold all over and his hair stood up, so he hurriedly transported his work to protect his body and grabbed Ji Yuan's skirt.

In fact, before that, Jiang Hanye had already had a experience of flying with a sword. At that time, he had not yet started and flew from Woniu Village to Wanjian Villa with his fourth brother Ji Feng. However, the flight experience was still different from this time. During the sword flight, the altitude of the flight was relatively low and the speed was very slow. But this time it was different. Ji Yuan, who was as fast as the wind and as fast as the wind, urged Xuzi to fly. In the blink of an eye, he was dozens of miles away, and 400 miles away in less than a moment.

"Okay, here, little master..." Na Jiyuan jumped down after landing, and then greeted Jiang Hanye. Unexpectedly, when he looked back and saw Jiang Hanye, he couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha!" Ji Yuan pointed to Jiang Hanye and smiled back and forth, and was out of breath.

Jiang Hanye came down tremblingly and looked at Ji Yuan and asked, "What's wrong, second brother?"

"Hahaha! You boy... you've been struck by lightning!" Ji Yuan pointed to Jiang Hanye's hair and laughed.

Jiang Hanye stretched out his hand and touched his head. Good guy, his hair was straight and vertical, like a hedgehog. No wonder Ji Yuan laughed so hard.

After smoothing his hair, Jiang Hanye fixed his eyes. Huo, there was an extremely tall gate building in front of him, and two powerful guards outside the gate stood with guns. Although it had just dawned, there was an endless stream of pedestrians.

"Let's go, this is Luoshui City." Ji Yuan took the magic weapon and took the lead in walking, "Today we are going to get some cloth for the women in Baihua Valley..."

Luoshui City is worthy of being the capital of the Chen Dynasty. The streets of the whole city are neat and clean, spacious and bright. The streets are straight and connected in all directions. There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, and the things sold on both sides of the street are also various.

Jiang Hanye looked around curiously, following Ji Yuan wandering on the street.

"Little brother, look at them!" Ji Yuan pointed to the railing on the second floor of an inn next to the street and said to Jiang Hanye.

Jiang Hanye looked up and saw several tables sitting by the window, each with a solemn look, with all kinds of weapons at hand, and each of them exuded an unusual atmosphere. Jiang Hanye frowned and asked, "Second brother, who are they?"

"There are all sects and paths." Ji Yuan replied carelessly, "In a while, the three factions will be able to fight, and these people will also come to join in the fun."

"Oh." Jiang Hanye made a sound.

The two of them went out early, so they haven't had breakfast. Now that the sun is high, they feel hungry. Ji Yuan took Jiang Hanye into a restaurant and ordered a few small dishes to greet Jiang Hanye, "Little brother, what they have eaten on the mountain in recent years is unique to the mountain gate, although it is delicious. But after a long time, it's inevitably boring. Today, my brother will take you to eat something different. Come on, sour and spicy elbows. These are all good dishes, and they are not the dishes here. Only in Luoshui City can you eat things from all over the world. Don't be polite to me today and eat more.

Jiang Hanye touched the silver in his pocket. Since he became a disciple, he has ten taels of silver a month to receive every month, usually sending half home, and the other half saved by himself. Before going out today, he specially brought some silver, thinking that he could buy something for his master and Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu here.

The two were eating in the dining room, and several people came in from the door. These people looked a little strange. They were all teenagers, white and clean, wearing various robes and carrying long and narrow cloth bags behind them. Jiang Hanye knew at a glance that there was either a knife or a sword.

These people are all very beautiful. In terms of men, they are too handsome, especially the one in a white shirt, which is even more handsome. Their white and tender skin, almond eyes, duck egg face, and the skin seems to be able to pinch out water.

"Hey, little brother, look over there..." Ji Yuan secretly touched Jiang Hanye's arm and pricked the handsome teenagers who just came in with his mouth. "Did you see those people? Everyone has more than three layers of cultivation, which is very powerful.

"Second brother, how can you know their cultivation level?" Jiang Hanye couldn't help asking curiously. When he was on the mountain, he also noticed that these brothers could see other people's cultivation at a glance, which made him very admirable.

"Hey, you will know when you enter the innate realm." Ji Yuan said.

While talking, the shopkeeper served a plate of West Lake vinegar fish and shouted: "The guest officer gave way!"

This dish was from Jiang Hanye's table, and at this time, the teenagers also walked by their table. Maybe it was crowded, so they bumped into the shop's second child. The plate of West Lake vinegar fish flew into the sky and fell impartially on the head of the most handsome white-shirted teenager, which was fried.

The second child in the store hurriedly apologized, but how could those teenagers get it? The second child pointed to the shop and scolded more fiercely than the other.

"You don't have eyes when you walk? Why did you hit people with vegetables?"

"Fortunately, you just served the dishes. If a pot of oil is boiling, won't you burn our little teacher... little brother?"

These people are talkative. You keep talking to me, turning the tears of the shopkeeper in his eyes and begging for mercy, "These masters, you will spare me. The little one will clean it up for you. It's not easy to eat. Don't ruin my job..."

"That won't work, call your boss out! We have to pay for our clothes!"

At this time, except for the white-shirted teenager who didn't say a word, everyone else scolded the shop's little two. Jiang Hanye couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and said, "Several brothers, he didn't mean it. There are many people and mixed legs here, and he accidentally bumped him when he walked. Besides, that dish We called it. I'll pay for it!" With that, he was going to take out the silver.
