The wind in the depths of Daze, no matter what season, will give people a delicate and graceful feeling;
It is wet and slippery, caressing your cheeks, and there is still a faint aftertaste.
If it weren’t for the corpses of monsters and beasts that can be seen everywhere in the swamp, as well as the decorations filled with miasma and poisonous insects, I believe that many literati and poets would gather here to hold poetry gatherings.
For locals, as long as they don’t live in a real deep area, they won’t feel anything wrong even if they live within the broad scope of Daze;
But for foreigners, For people, the word Daze seems to carry the original sin of decay and stench.
At this time,
in a quagmire,
a head slowly poked out.
This is not a human head. The face is covered with scales. If you look closely, you can still see the runes carved on the position of its eyes.
It opened its mouth,
let out a series of calls of "Yeah...Yeah...Yeah",
Then, in the distance, Similar calls began to echo back.
The head slowly retracted,
Soon after,
a group of people galloped past here, their hooves raised in the air. The mud disturbed a field of snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
......
On the high platform in the center of Mingzhai,
The Emperor of Chu, whose hair was half white and his face was beginning to show signs of aging, was getting off with the young man in yellow robe. chess.
"What's your surname?"
The Emperor of Chu asked.
"Huang."
"What's your name?"
The young man in yellow robe did not answer for a long time.
Emperor Chu glanced at him and continued his move without rushing him.
The young man in yellow robe said with a self-deprecating smile:
“Let’s use the word ‘一’ for family status, it will look too ugly; use the word ‘一’, I feel stupid again.
Fortunately, I don’t use my name much, so I’m just delaying it.
If your Majesty is interested, you can pick one for me. ”
"Isn't that taking advantage of you?"
"Your Majesty said this, this should be my glory."
"Then call it Huang Lang."
"It's such a perfunctory name.
Okay, let's use it first."
"How can I do this? Just make do?"
"How much is your majesty's name used now? Even the literati in the Chu Dynasty have to avoid your majesty's name when writing poems, official documents and calligraphy. To foreigners, they only know that your majesty was originally Chu. The fourth prince of the country was also the regent of the Chu country, and now he is the emperor of the Chu country;
How many people can really remember your name?"
"You? My heart is very big."
Huang Lang covered his mouth with his hand and started to laugh again, saying:
"Let me tell you something that will make your Majesty feel that you deserve a beating.
Born.”
“It really deserves a beating.” ”
“I feel the same way myself. Huang Lang pointed at his ear, "As long as I can remember, it's always been like someone is talking to me in my ear, talking about random things, even now and still." ”
“Oh? "
"Otherwise..."
Huang Lang looked around slightly,
"Otherwise, these big guys have been sleeping so that they can survive for a while. How can you be so respectful to me?
As for what goes on,
I don’t want to talk about it, and I guess your Majesty won’t like to hear it either.
They are all nonsense and strange visions;
I have also read the history books written by Lord Meng Shou, which also records many ancient saints. Wonderful scenes with famous ministers at their birth and childhood.
I can only say,
They don’t know how to make it up and I don’t know how to blow it. ”
“This is interesting. Emperor Chu smiled, "Can you deceive them?" ”
This group of hermits, who have been sleeping, claim to be inside the door and are isolated from the outside. They are not immortal, but they have been storing their remaining lifespan in the form of eternal sleep. In exchange for slower consumption
But now, they are all awake
For whom,
For,
This is the young man in front of me.
“I think it’s fake, but they believe it is true more than me, so what can I do?
There was everything in the dream,
but after waking up from the dream, nothing came.
I even suspected that I was suffering from hysteria and was a crazy person.
But after meeting them,
I discovered that
it turns out that there really is a group of people in this world who are more like lunatics than me.
By the way,
Your Majesty,
Do you believe in God’s will?
Emperor Chu nodded, shook his head, and said: "Twenty years ago, it was said that Yan State's intention to unify all Xia was God's will. Who would believe it?" "
"Your Majesty, you did not answer my question. Do you believe it? ”
“I believe it is true, but whether you believe it or not depends on the person. ”
“It is indeed more interesting to talk to Your Majesty than to talk to them. Some things, in their eyes, are completely inviolable.”
”
“They cannot afford to lose. ”
“Yes, I just can’t afford to lose. I have put everything on my back. Not only am I not allowed to lose, I am not allowed to lose. This gambling table does not exist at all.” ”
“What about you, don’t believe it? "The Emperor of Chu asked.
"Like your Majesty, I believe in destiny, and I also believe that the sky above our head has its own ideas.
But..."
"But what? ”
“The words “man can conquer heaven” sound a bit too false and empty.But think about it in another way, why for thousands of years, whether they are civil servants or high-end Qi practitioners;
They have always been obsessed with the sky above their heads and the vast providence and destiny. With an almost visceral awe? "
The Emperor of Chu pondered for a moment, and
replied:
"Perhaps it is because of God's will that I have never lost. "
Huang Lang also imitated the way Emperor Chu had done before, nodding his head again and again,
meaningfully said:
"Because even if it loses, it will still win. No one can know. "
Huang Lang surrendered,
patted his knees,
said:
"Since ancient times,
p>Whoever wins,
Isn’t that who is destined to win? "
At this time,
the figure of the wine man appeared on the high platform,
reporting:
"My lord, the wind is blowing. . ”
“By the way, Mr. Liquor, I just got a name, Huang Lang, Lang Jun’s Lang.” "
"Good name. ”
Huang Lang pointed at the wine man and spread his hands towards Emperor Chu.
And the wine man’s eyes kept falling on Emperor Chu.
Huang Lang stretched out his hand and asked:
"Are you sure? "
"Someone has already gone, and we have to wait until we enter the formation to ensure safety. "
"Okay. "
The wine man got off the high platform.
Huang Lang looked at Emperor Chu and asked, "Does your Majesty need to rest?" ”
“It hasn’t reached the critical point that my niece can bear, so please give me more.” "
"Your Majesty is really a good uncle. ”
“It makes no sense to say this now. "
"Yes, even if you stop now, the regent will not know, unless you and him have a tacit understanding for a long time, but if there is a tacit understanding, he will not come at all. ”
The white hair on Emperor Chu’s temples began to float,
reached out his hand,
picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard,
said :
“I didn’t quite understand my brother-in-law’s temper before, but now, I think I understand it. As you said a few days ago, he just wanted to slap me to death. At the same time, , I also want to shoot you to death.
He is different from other heroes.
He has a fatal weakness.
That is... he seems to be cold, but in fact he attaches great importance to family ties. "
Huang Langze said:
"But it is also his advantage. There are always many heroes in the world. Even if they come out in troubled times, they can always be found in troubled times. Lots of them coming.
But one is truly powerful when he has the ability of a hero and at the same time makes up for the hero's weaknesses.
Otherwise, how could King Jingnan support and shield him back then? If you dare to keep your legitimate son, let him raise it by his side.
Otherwise, how would the current Emperor of Yan dare to play this kind of flirtatious drama with him?
In the final analysis,
This person is
reliable and down-to-earth.
This is a gold-lettered signboard.
This light can illuminate the eyes of the blind.
"
"You are right, so let's wait for the news. If he does come..."
"Your Majesty means that if he does come, then Does it mean he is too involved in the drama? ”
The Emperor of Chu shook his head,
not guessing,
playing directly,
said:
“I’m just too lazy to act at all. "
......
"Sir, after passing the valley in front, you will reach the area of Mingzhai. My subordinates have just explored it, and there is a large formation ahead. "
Xue San reported.
A Ming pointed to the valley ahead.
The sky there and the sky here have obvious and clear color layers:
“Does this still require your investigation? ”
The blind man said: “My lord, that formation should be a four-sided formation.” "
"Blind man, how many lessons have you secretly made up for? " Book. "
"But even if you don't use your eyes to see, there is no reason to read it all and write it down so quickly, right? ”
“It was definitely too late, but the top ones in each ranking, which were the most awesome ones, were deliberately browsed.
This four-sided formation is a formation driven by Qi movement. It is equivalent to a large barrier. Outsiders will be suppressed in all directions if they enter.
This is an extremely clever Qigong practitioner's method, which is equivalent to giving himself a very shameless home field advantage. "
Zheng Fan turned to look at the blind man beside him,
asked:
"Can it be broken? ”
“My subordinates are also good at talking about small formations and so on. I can try to use mental analysis to break them. This kind of large formations, I am currently unable to do anything about.” .
However, the law of breaking the formation will never change. The best and most direct way is to use corresponding things to destroy the foundation of the formation.
Since it is a formation based on luck,
If nothing unexpected happens,
As soon as the Lord enters,
< p>It's almost broken.After all,
In terms of luck,
Dayan’s luck is the most prosperous now. Compared with it, the others are simply not good. Inflow.
My lord, you are the regent of Dayan.
Although you are not wearing royal robes or riding Pixiu, my lord is still your lord. From a legal point of view, yes haveQualifications protected by luck. "
"Oh. "
Zheng Fan nodded and ordered:
"Let's cook and eat. "
"Yes. ”
The demon kings began to bury the pot to make rice.
Fan Li put down the large iron pot that was carried on his back and set up a barbecue grill at the same time.
Xue San went hunting, and there were a lot of game nearby.
The blind man filtered the water with his mind, and Siniang took out the aniseed ingredients that he had been carrying and started frying them.
After a while, Xue San came back and caught two prey. One looked like a rabbit, but much larger than an ordinary rabbit and had green eyes. The other looked like a wild boar, but much smaller.
They are all incompletely evolved monsters. The third master skillfully peeled the skin, cleaned and marinated it, and finally put it on the grill.
The red soup hot pot in the pot was also at this moment. It started to boil.
A Ming and Liang Cheng picked a lot of wild vegetables from nearby. When they put the things in front of Siniang's chopping board,
Sixiang suddenly smiled: < /p>
"Really, I was negligent, I shouldn't have let you two go. "
"What's wrong? "A Ming asked.
"Have you two tried it? "
Sixiang pointed to the mushrooms and wild vegetables placed in front of her and asked.
"Eat it. "
Six Niang nodded and said: "It's hard for you to kill even if it's poisonous. "
"..." A Ming.
Sixiang took out the silver needle and began to test the poison.
There are many monsters in Daze, and there are no strange plants. It is difficult to fully apply the past survival experience here.
After working for a while longer than expected, the meal was finally prepared.
Everyone sat around the hot pot and grill. On the side,
A Ming took out the wine bottle and poured wine for everyone.
The red stone was placed at Zheng Fan’s feet. A Ming did not forget it and poured it on him. After pouring some red wine,
A Ming sat down and took out another wine box. The wine inside was even brighter. But only he and Liang Cheng could enjoy it.
The hot pot was bubbling,
The barbecue was simmering with oil,
Everyone had cups in their hands, < /p>
Before the meal begins, the person with the highest status in the room must say a few words.
This is a etiquette that will be retained no matter where, at any time, or even whether it is a person or a ghost... < /p>
Facing the eyes of the big guys,
Zheng Fan, as the master, picked up the wine glass and said:
"I quite enjoy this kind of thing." It feels like everyone is gathering together, eating and drinking.
I remember that in the past, this was a common thing. Almost every night we would get together to eat and chat. However, in recent years, the frequency has become much less frequent.
Some are busy and cannot come back;
Some are married;
There are fewer such opportunities now.
We may not have been this pure for a long time.
So,
this meal,
everyone,
eat well, drink well, drink well and eat well. "
"Hahaha. "
" Woo hoo hoo! ”
“Oh oh oh! ”
Xue San and Fan Li made some shouts to enhance the atmosphere.
Next,
Everyone started to have a formal meal.< /p>
Even A Ming was given a piece of barbecue.
A Ming picked it up and took a bite.
"Don't force it, just take a moment." . "Liang Cheng said.
A Ming shook his head and said: "Fortunately, compared to Maoxuewang, other foods are delicious. ”
After all, the strength had not recovered back then, and everyone was basically ordinary people. During those six months, Maoxuewang was the most “original” food that A Ming could come into contact with.
Although After that, he never ate again, but the fear of being dominated by Mao Xuewang was always rooted in his mind.
Fan Li sat there, eating meat while Xue San stood in the pot. Next to it, there are hot pot dishes.
"Sir, I also made some hand-made noodles, shall we have them together?" "
"Okay. ”
Six Niang put the noodles into the pot.
While waiting for the noodles to be cooked, Zheng Fan, who had already eaten and drank for a round, put his hands on the On the ground behind him, the whole person was facing up lazily,
said:
"It really looks like a team building. "
......
"We are eating and drinking, aren't they in a hurry? "
On the slope on one side of the valley, two women in black robes stood there, looking at the situation over there. One of the women had a black mark between her eyebrows, which seemed to be burned by fire. Come out.
"The target is him, not his daughter. Others are here. Now we are expecting him to come in. As long as he doesn't come in, his daughter will be safe.
Don’t you understand this? ”
“I understand, but I just feel that they are too comfortable and don’t take us seriously.” ”
“People compare us to rats in smelly drains, and what we do is threatening others with their daughters. Why should they look down on us?” "
"Aren't you angry? "
"Don't be angry, I quite admire him. Let's go back and report it to him again. "
"Okay. "
......
"It's finally here. "
The Emperor of Chu and Huang Lang just played another game of chess, and Huang Lang lost again.
"Anyway, Your Majesty, you can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. "Huang Lang smiled.
"It's just the tranquility after losing everything, it's nothing.
What I can give, through your strength, can be considered as giving to my niece, and the rest...
In the end, it will be you who kill him or he who kills you,
I'd love to see it come to fruition. ”
“Yes. "
Huang Lang responded, turned to look at the woman standing next to the wine man, and asked:
"How many people did he bring? "
"When I returned to the Lord, I brought a total of six people, plus... a spirit. ”
“Is that Jin Land Sword Master also there? "
"Not here. "
"Not there? Huang Lang was a little confused.
The wine man said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Our people have already targeted them before they get close to Mingzhai. Please look there, Your Majesty." "
Under the high platform, there was an old woman sitting on an abacus, floating up, and floating together with a vat in front of her.
I saw the old woman reaching out and pulling out the water from the vat. He splashed some water, and a picture appeared in front of him.
The picture was not very clear, but he could still see a lively scene of a group of people eating and drinking.
The old woman said:
p>"Lord, we have nine Qi Refiners who have been watching them. The regent did not bring an army. There were only these six people accompanying him, plus the red stone. The spirit, that spirit, did not hide its aura intentionally. "
"Who are they? "Huang Lang asked.
The old woman replied:
"One, a woman with a strong aura of dust;
One, a fortune teller wearing a Taoist robe;< /p>
One, a big silly guy carrying a big pot all the way;
A dwarf doing tricks and throwing sticks;
In addition, two sick young men, one Thirsty for blood, one seemed to have been poisoned by corpse poison.
The last one is a lonely and resentful baby who can only cry. "
Huang Lang frowned,
said:
"Be clear. "
The old woman smiled with a relaxed expression,
and said:
"One is the current regent and the princess, and the other is the general of Jindong;< /p>
The other four are the legendary gentlemen under the palace. Legend has it that there are several Mr. Fan Li in the palace of the regent. I am afraid they are the only ones.
As for the resentful baby, it should be the same as the spirit of His Majesty’s fire phoenix beside the Lord. "
"What about strength? ”
“The regent’s aura is obviously unstable. He must have entered the third level for the first time, or he may have been forced to do so by relying on some drugs and supplements.
The princess and several gentlemen, including the resentful baby, are all in the fourth rank according to their realm. "
It's not over yet.
The old woman laughed to herself "Hehehe",
and said:
"A mistress. Grades, seven and four;
These are all minor problems. ”
Huang Lang frowned and said:
"I originally thought that the regent would not bring an army, but would at least choose some real masters to bring with him. It's not like he doesn't have any around him. In the end, among the men he brought,
the strongest one was actually himself?
So,
either the regent had some brains. The problem is either that we ourselves will have problems.
And it’s hard for you to say,
A person with a flawed brain has won so many battles and destroyed so many countries. We don’t even dare to take a breath
So..."
Huang Lang scratched his head,
"I think we may face one. ...A big question."
The old woman was a little confused by the series of "questions" started by her, and she didn't know how to respond.
The wine man spoke at this time:
"My lord, after today, your destiny, and the destiny of the world, will gradually return to its original trajectory.
After all,
No matter whether the regent is really free and easy or just pretending to be a ghost,
In the face of absolute strength, everything will not be a problem
That prince is good at fighting,
but here,
it’s the rivers and lakes!”
…
Having a picnic, It's coming to an end.
Except Fan Li, who was still chewing on the barbecue with dissatisfaction,
the rest of them had already put down their bowls and chopsticks.
Zheng Fan took a wet towel from Siniang’s hand,
while wiping his hands, he couldn’t help but smile and said:
“It’s always a war. To be honest, I’m a little tired of it.
It’s really hard.
Finally, it’s the turn of the world. ”< /p>
————
That’s all for now, I will continue writing the next chapter, and everyone will get up and read it tomorrow morning.
