Renegade Immortal

The early morning sunshine softly fell on the earth. The sky was dark and clear. Wisps of feather-like cirrus clouds spread on the sky. When the sun flickered, at the beginning of the day, there was a faint orange-red light, far away. From a distance, it looks like a dream.

The sound of barking dogs and the smoke rising into the sky floated out from the inn next to the official road and blended into the world, making this beautiful picture faintly contaminated with the breath of the world, but it did not make people feel Abrupt, as it should be.

The local dogs raised by the store were playing with each other, running around the official road, their tails swaying with their bodies, and they seemed to be in the mood of the earth's creatures.

But not long after, the sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground came from afar, and a cloud of dust was seen at the end of the official road, turning into dust mist. In the dust, several horses galloped, and the horse There were several big men in brocade robes sitting on their backs, each with a serious look on their face, and they roared away.

As they approached, the native dogs on the official road whimpered and moved away from both sides, causing the horses to fly away under the sound of the wind.

Perhaps the sound of the horse's hooves was too fast. As it passed in front of the inn, it made the ground tremble. It even made the inn next to the official road seem to tremble faintly with the ground.

The inn was very simple, as if it had gone through a long period of time. The ground was shaking, and there were bursts of unbearable creaking sounds. When the sound was calm, there were screams in the inn from the guest rooms on the second floor.

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way. This shop has been here for hundreds of years, and it always happens like this every time. It won't collapse." An old voice echoed in the inn, but I saw a man sitting in the corner of the hall. An old man wearing a coarse shirt, holding a pipe in his hand, took a puff and said leisurely.

Opposite him, the waiter from last night curled his lips, put a towel on his shoulders, carried a boiling kettle on the side, and went upstairs to deliver hot water to every guest in the room.

At this time, in the last guest room on the right side of the second floor, there was a young man lying on the bed in undressed clothes, and the whole room was filled with the smell of alcohol.

As the sound of horse hooves roared past and the room trembled slightly, the young man slowly opened his sparse eyes, stood up, held his forehead with his right hand, and looked around blankly.

"Oh, being too drunk has ruined things, being too drunk has ruined things... Why did I drink so much..." This young man looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a slender body, an ordinary appearance, and a bookish air.

He had a wry smile on his face at the moment, and his head hurt. He held on to the bed beside him and got up. He stumbled to the table in dizziness, poured a cup of herbal tea and drank it in one sip. Only then did he feel a little better.

"It seems that we must remember this in the future.

Don't be drunk, I was almost unconscious last night. If you meet a bad person, lose your money, or get killed and have sex..." The young man sighed and drank a few cups of herbal tea again.

At this moment, there was a banging sound outside the door, and then the man's voice sounded.

"Hot water, sir, would you like it?"

The young man stood up quickly, perhaps because he got up violently, and his head became dizzy again, so he managed to speak.

"come in."

The door creaked open, and the man walked in with a kettle. After filling the basin with hot water, he looked back at the young man and smiled.

"I've been a clerk here for three years, and I've never seen anyone drink my rice wine. He's so drunk after just two glasses of wine. I couldn't push you last night, so I carried you here to rest. You're not a good drinker, but You need to practice more, I heard that every one of the officials in the capital can drink a thousand cups."

The young man's face turned red, with gratitude in his eyes. He stood up and hugged the man with a fist, and said with a smile: "Thank you for taking care of me, brother. For some reason, Wang felt fine after drinking the first cup, but the second cup went into his stomach. He just passed out drunk."

The waiter grinned, and before leaving with the kettle, he looked at the young man with a look of humor and said: "You are a scholar who went to the county to take the exam. Last night, you pulled me and kept saying that you had a dream, a dream." You become a fairy in this, haha, what you said is quite interesting, tell me about it when you have time, it’s quite fun. "

With that said, the waiter walked out with a kind laugh. The young man's face turned red and he shook his head with a wry smile. After the waiter left, he came to the basin and washed his face with hot water to wash away the tiredness of last night's drunkenness. Quite a few.

Opening the window of the guest room, the bright sunshine came in, along with the cool wind. The wind blew on his face, which was very comfortable and made the young man exhale a long breath.

"After I was drunk last night, I actually had a dream. This dream was very strange. I didn't forget it at all after I woke up..." The young man stood by the window, looking outside, and murmured to himself. "The dream was so real that it was almost indistinguishable... It actually started when my fourth uncle came three years ago and I joined Heng Yueqin... Haha, it's interesting, but this dream doesn't seem to be finished. I only remember that I joined the Hengyue Sect, and there are no others. Heng Yueqin..., how could there be such a sect in this world, and where did the immortals come from? We, the scholars, do not believe in the power of ghosts and gods, most of them It's just rumors to fool the people." The young man shook his head, turned around and glanced at the tea cup on the table behind him. Suddenly, he became like a young man, raised his right hand, made the seal as he remembered, and pointed at the tea cup.

"Gravity!" The young man laughed and pointed away.

The tea cup lay motionless and calm. The young man laughed again and said to himself: "These magic powers are very interesting."

After playing for a while, the young man put away his thoughts and took a look at his luggage, money, dry food, clothes, and books. Then he cleaned the room carefully, and after the smell of alcohol in the room had dissipated, he changed into a clean one. After taking off his clothes, he put the bamboo bookcase on his back and walked out of the room.

He was a smart but simple-minded young man who grew up in a mountain well. This was the first time he walked out of the house. Under the kind gaze of his parents and the earnest instructions, he walked out of the village like a young bird growing up. Big, like spreading your wings and flying.

The room was dirty and smelled of alcohol because of him. He would rather clean it up himself than let the guy who carried him here do it.

In the lobby on the first floor, he simply ate some food, settled the accommodation bill, smiled at the waiter, hugged his fists, faced the sunshine, and turned around to leave.

The soft sunshine falling on his body made this young man seem to be full of sunshine, and it gave people a very comfortable feeling, making people couldn't help but feel good about him.

Especially the clean clothes and neat attire filled his whole body with vitality. Beside the official road, he looked at the sky and the earth in front of him, and at the end of the official road, where he couldn't see. He could see faintly in front of his eyes. Follow this direction to the distant capital of Zhao.

"Wang Lin, you can definitely do it! When the names of the gold medals are announced, take your parents out of the mountain village, take care of them until they grow old, and let them enjoy happiness." The young man took a deep breath and walked forward step by step.

The spring breeze blew across Wang Lin's face, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers and plants that he didn't know where to blow. It made his green shirt dance slightly, making a gentle sound of blowing. With his footsteps, he gradually got closer and closer. The inn is getting further and further away.

Only the sound of chanting was blown away in the wind, and was sent to an unknown place. It circled around, slowly blurring, until it became a remnant.

At the age of eighteen or nineteen, Wang Lin is often tireless. Wang Lin walked along the official road with bright eyes, pausing from time to time and looking at the surrounding mountains and forests, feeling very comfortable.

The day passed very quickly. Under Wang Lin's pace of walking and looking, the tree shade in front was no longer dense, but slowly revealed a green river behind the tree shade.

The river flows with the wind. In the State of Zhao, there are several official roads that go along with the waterways. This is the road Wang Lin is taking at the moment.

For example, right now, on Wang Lin's left side, there are the mountains, and not far to the right side, there is the winding river, with several boats on it, walking along the river.

Gradually, there was darkness in the sky in the distance. In the darkness, a dark cloud slowly gathered together. A roar of thunder echoed from the distance. Lightning crisscrossed the sky and the earth. From a distance, it looked like a silver snake.

The weather was still sunny during the day, but before night fell completely, it became dense with clouds, which was very changeable. The green mountains in the distance became dark under the clouds. Fortunately, although the color was dark, the dark clouds could not cover it.

Looking from a distance, the mountains are entangled with the clouds. The green mountains seem to be trying to break up the dark clouds, but the dark clouds are trying to swallow up the mountains. It is like a dragon and tiger fighting, and there is a unique spectacle of mountain clouds.

At this moment, there was thunder and rain fell. Wang Lin quickly ran to a tree and took out a large oil umbrella from the bamboo raft behind him. This oil umbrella was made by his father's skillful hands and could be folded and stored. , fully opened, not only covering the bamboo rafts, but also shrouding his body under the umbrella.

Holding an umbrella in his right hand, Wang Lin looked at the black mountains in the distance that could not be covered by dark clouds, and watched the rainwater falling down, falling on the ground, falling on the leaves, and falling on the water surface of the river next to it, turning into ripples and bouncing at the same time. Many water droplets splashed on the boats on the water.

"There was an old saying that black clouds rolled over the mountains without covering the mountains, and white raindrops jumped into the boats... It was true." Wang Lin looked at all this, laughed and chanted loudly.

"You scholar, you must be stupid. You are still laughing when you see my boat spilling rainwater. It is really annoying!" A clear voice came from the boat very close to the shore on the river, but He saw a pretty girl holding an umbrella standing on the bow of the boat. The girl had a depressed look on her face, staring at Wang Lin with her jade finger.

Wang Lin was stunned, his laughter suddenly stopped, and he scratched his head.
