Volume 1 The Land of the West Chapter 1 Fu Shen
Yuanjiang State - the thirty-three states of Xiliang, one of the three kingdoms of Mengzhou.
Both belong to Mengzhou, and the two sides of the Yuanjiang Kingdom are Yundu and Western Xia.
Mengzhou is located in the east of Xiliang, the east is connected with another large state with the same area as Mengzhou, "Chizhou", Chizhou is the end of the east of the Xiliang land, the land area of Mengzhou and Chizhou is considered to be lower than the middle in the 33 states of Xiliang, but because of the vast sea area close to the east, rich in many seafood and some precious pearl agate and other exquisite jewelry, these geographical advantages make the people of the two states mostly have enough food and clothing, quite rich, do not have to be like some other states with poor environment, often have to "survive" and "livelihood" The troubles have caused wars and the people to be miserable, so Mengzhou and Chizhou are also places that many people yearn for.
Our story takes place in this rich place, Mengzhou, Yuanjiang Kingdom.
In the early morning, everything is just waking up, the morning mist is filled, and a high-pitched rooster crows across the sky like a meteor tearing through the void, and the sun also shows its prominence slightly.
At this moment, in Anding City, the capital of Yuanjiang Province, in Luofu, in a remote and dilapidated hut in the backyard, there was a clear and powerful sound of reading, and when I got closer, I found that it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy dressed in white cloth, with several obvious patch marks on his clothes, although some were broken, but they were extremely clean and tidy, and it was obvious that the people who wore clothes loved to be clean.
The boy's skin is white, his forehead bones are narrow, his eyebrows are thick, and his eye sockets are slightly sunken, not handsome, but he gives people a feeling of Zhong Ling's intelligence, even when he reads, his brows are slightly wrinkled, and his eyes are staring at the books brightly, as if he is attracted by the strangeness inside.
The layout in the room is even more peculiar, there are a lot of bookcases, all of which are old and worn-out books, bookcases, tables and chairs are placed in the form of a nine-palace array, ordinary people walk in, from the door to the place where he sleeps, they need to go through this nine-palace array, people who don't know how to play this kind of game will walk around inside, lose their way, and choose a far road, and those who are proficient can go directly from the left side of the middle palace. This is also a set of anti-human gadgets, although it is not complicated, but for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, he is indeed talented.
He is Luo Yu, who should have been the third son of Luofu, who wants to be prosperous and wealthy, just because of his mother's low status, it turned out to be an embroidery girl who did needlework in Luofu, named Liu Qiao, it happened that after Luo Zeng was drunk once, he accidentally hit him, and some unsightly things happened after drinking, originally Luo Zeng's original wife Fan knew that she was ready to kill Luo Yu's mother directly, but Liu Qiaogo was suddenly found to be pregnant, Luo Zeng couldn't bear to put his mother and son in the backyard, and wanted to treat her mother and son well, but Mrs. Fan made too much trouble, and Luo Zeng, as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, was not easy to openly accept concubines, so they could only let their mother and son suffer in the backyard, What I didn't expect was that Liu Qiao actually went out to find something to make a living during pregnancy, and in that kind of extremely poor life, she also successfully gave birth to Luo Yu, but their status did not rise because of this, but was repeatedly suppressed by Mrs. Fan, and often filmed some subordinates to bully their mother and son, Luo Yu was the nine-palace array that was placed because he was often bullied to prevent others.
Fortunately, Luo Yu has been very sensible since he was a child, and he is very filial to his mother, so his mother is pleased to be able to persist in living in this environment until now, and Luo Yu has become mentally hard because of the bitterness of snacks and the warmth and coldness of human affection, and he wants to learn the skills to recover these debts one by one when he grows up.
However, he is not pursuing the path of fame and fortune, because no one in Yuanjiang Kingdom dares to touch Luofu except for the emperor, and he understands that it is useless how he is studying, what he wants to pursue is the ethereal and mysterious path of immortal cultivation and immortality.
A friend of his father's name is Li Xiao, it is said that he is a person in the fairy forest, elusive, boundless mana, living an isolated life, when his father was young, the two met by chance because of Go, and later the two sides became very good friends because of the long war, when he was ten years old, the Li immortal once came once and was said to see if the descendants of the Li family had a fairy fate, the specific process Luo Yu did not see, because the people of Luofu would not give him a chance, but finally I heard that Luo Yu's third sister Luo Qingqing was taken away by the immortal, and he never came back once in the past four years after leaving, Luo Yu only saw the Li immortal release a blood-red long sword from a distance, straight into the sky, a flash of red light, disappeared into the distance with lightning speed.
This left a deep impression on Luo Yu at that time, if he could have those skills, he could make others dare not bully him, and the third sister who was taken away was the only one in Luo Mansion who cared about their mother and son very much, and often sent them some delicious food, and never disliked their low status as mother and son, Luo Yu was very impressed by this sister, and swore that he would repay the third sister if he had the ability in the future.
At this time, Luo Yu was holding a book called "Go Ghost Dao" in his hand, the pages of the book were already yellowed in many places, but there was no trace of decay, and the book was already old, I don't know which dynasty it was, it was smooth to the touch, as if it was not wooden.
This is Luo Yu once inadvertently helped an old man, the old man was grateful to see that he was diligent in his studies, so he gave him this book, which is said to be his ancestor, the book is not worth a few dollars, but the insights on Go are very incisive, Luo Yu learned a lot from it.
Although, Luo Yuxue is all in order to be appreciated by Li Xianren, holding a glimmer of hope to enter the path of immortality one day, which may seem funny to others, but I have to say that although he is young, he has great ambitions.
And no one thought that many years later, he was still an innocent child full of fantasy and hope, but in the end, he continued to transform and became an existence of a famous immortal demon, immortal through the ages.
At night, in the capital city of Yuanjiang and Dingcheng, there are few pedestrians, the bright moon hangs high, the night is soft, the soft moonlight is sprinkled to the earth, bringing a little bit of starlight, for those who have been busy for a day, it is time to take a good rest.
However, there are a few brightly lit places, which are particularly eye-catching, Luofu is one of them, the tall and simple lion red ring gate, about one zhang high, there are two hideous and abnormal lacquered stone lions next to the door, which looks very solemn.
At this time, a group of black-clothed men dressed in black, with their heads shrouded in black cloaks, each carrying a weapon or sword or sword at their waists. In a hurry, it seems that there are 100,000 urgent things to deal with. Between them was a fat man in a brocade dress, who looked like he was forty or fifty years old, with a golden hairpin on his head, a face with a pile of flesh, and narrow eyes.
After a few breaths, they walked quickly to the gate of Luofu, and at this time, the man with the golden gloves raised his right hand slightly, made a stop gesture backwards, and then walked cautiously to the door, his steps were extremely slow, as if he was afraid of alarming something inside. Raised his right hand, grabbed the crimson knocker on the right, knocked lightly three times, and then tied his hands aside, waiting quietly, the man in black behind seemed to know the urgency of the matter, and the original small voices disappeared without a trace like the wind blowing away.
It didn't take long for a "creaking" sound to come, and the red lacquered door revealed a slap-like opening, and then a hoarse voice gently came out of it: "Wang Guard, how are things going?" The voice was sharp and hoarse, but it contained a hint of the breath of a superior person.
When the man with the golden gloves heard this, he respectfully walked to the opening of the gate and whispered: "Manager Gao, the person you want has been brought, and the brothers are very careful on the road to ensure that no one knows." The voice was lukewarm, after the voice came inside, the people inside did not answer immediately, after a while, a thin old man, with a slightly pale face, slowly walked out of it, playing with the emerald green wrench of his left hand with his right hand, and a pair of slender eyes, staring at the group of people in black, his eyes were cold. Every man in black who was targeted by him seemed to have a feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake, and he didn't dare to look at him. Seeing everyone's expressions, Mr. Gao retracted his gaze with satisfaction, changed his smile and said: "Wang Guard, I have always been cautious in handling things, I am very relieved, okay, don't stay outside for a long time, take someone to meet the eldest young master with me, and then I will naturally go to the eldest young master to say a few kind words for you." ”
After hearing this, the man with the gold silk gloves suddenly became very happy, and with a gesture to the person behind him, he quietly entered the Luo Mansion with the executive's house. After entering the mansion, the Gao Zongjia took the lead in the front, and the rest of the people followed neatly, everyone seemed to be very familiar with the route in the Luofu Mansion, but the eyes looked left and right from time to time during the walk, as if they were afraid of being seen by others.
When he had just walked a short distance, the senior Gao family seemed to be aware of this tense atmosphere, and said in a flat tone: "Don't worry, all the guards and subordinates on this road have been arranged by me to go somewhere else, and no one will see it, but after you see the eldest young master, don't talk nonsense, the eldest young master's temper has not been very good recently, and if you say the wrong thing, the old man can't protect you." Speaking of this, his eyes swept over the group of black-clothed people, and his voice became a little cold in vain.
The man called Wang Huwei walked quickly to the old man, clasped his hands into fists and said, "Thank you for your concern, we naturally know what to do." After speaking, the senior manager nodded slightly, and then a group of people walked quickly along the straight road.
It didn't take long for everyone to come to a beautiful and gorgeous house, the door was carved with the pattern of dragons and phoenixes playing, the workmanship was fine, and at a glance they knew that the people living in it were extraordinary, and there was a thick red carpet on the ground, which could be heard from afar, and there was a sound of men laughing and women squeamishing in the room.
At this time, the executive turned around and waved to the man in black behind him, and said, "You guys are waiting here, I'll go and call the eldest young master out." Then, without waiting for everyone to answer, he walked quickly to the door, knocked on the door with his right hand slightly, and said, "Young master, the person you want has been brought." The voice was low and powerful, and it seemed to alarm the people inside.
"Okay, you guys are waiting outside now, I'll be out later. The voice was a little vain, anxious, and mixed with the sound of a dressed wind, which came out of it quickly, and seemed to be mixed with a little anger, but the executive's face was calm, as if he knew the temper of the people inside, and he just tied, and waited quietly, and after about a cup of tea, out of the house came a fair-skinned, handsome man, wearing a high crown on his head, dressed in a splendid gold silk brocade robe, and wearing a ring of several roses on his ten fingers, shining and dazzling, and anyone who saw it here would be astonished, for these rings, or pearls, or agate, were some expensive things, only the richest people in the capital are eligible to wear it, but it also shows his prominent status on the other hand.
The handsome man looked up at the executive's house and said, "It's done, no one knows, right?"
Manager Gao bowed slightly to the man and said, "The person brought it, this is the shopkeeper of Baotong Bank, the largest money bank in the Song Kingdom." After saying that, his left hand pointed to the fat man in brocade behind him.
