Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 7 Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead
Everyone in the pub was silent.
The expressions on their faces were complex and wonderful.
The three people from Hidden Blue Villa were completely unaware and were still enjoying the "Blood Jade Cup" in their hands. After a while, the leading two-star warrior patted Tang Zheng on the shoulder and said with a confused look: "Good brother! If you have any trouble in Wulong Town in the future, just tell me my name!"
"That's great, what's your name, big brother?" Tang Zheng smiled with his eyes narrowed.
"Yinlan Villa, two-star warrior, Lanquan." It was obviously not the first time that the two-star warrior mentioned the name of Yinlan Villa and his own strength level.
However, for some reason, he felt particularly comfortable after reporting it today.
That feeling is so refreshing, the most refreshing I have ever felt...
"Then I'd like to thank you in advance!" Tang Zheng covered his hands in a pretentious manner and lowered his voice again, "Well, don't show off your wealth. Big brother, should we..."
"That's exactly what you said, brother. Goodbye!" Upon hearing this, the warrior named Lanquan immediately put the teacup with half a broken corner in his hand into his pocket and pulled the servant beside him, "Let's go! Let's go!"
When the three of them went out, they covered the place where they put their teacups and walked very carefully, fearing that they would break the things in their pockets...
As a result, everyone in the tavern looked at him curiously.
When Lanquan passed by, he subconsciously held his pockets tighter: "What are you looking at?"
All the passers-by immediately lowered their heads.
Tang Zheng waited for them to leave the door, then quickly returned to the table, picked up his bag, and pulled Tian Meng with his left hand: "Let's go too! Hurry up!"
Tian Meng's mind was still a mess. He was still thinking about "why a broken teacup turned into a blood jade cup" and "why I could see moonlight in broad daylight" before he was dragged out of the tavern by Tang Zheng in a daze.
…
The two men left the pub and ran all the way.
Tang Zheng's pace finally slowed down after he had squeezed left and right into a small alley.
Tian Meng was not a martial artist after all. He ran too fast, and his brain, which was not spinning very fast to begin with, became even more dizzy. "You...what did you do to those three people? Did you...practice the Heavenly Secrets?"
"Heavenly Secrets?" Tang Zhengzhi blinked, "What the hell is that..."
"No, that's not right." Tian Meng rejected it again. "The Tianji Yanxiang Jue requires three consecutive life palaces, and the main star to be drawn is the Tianji star. You need to be at least a three-star warrior, and you don't even have one star..."
Three stars piercing the sun is a very difficult thing!
The difficulty of attracting the same main star into two adjacent life palaces will be doubled, not to mention attracting the same main star into three consecutive life palaces.
As for the seven stars shining together and the nine stars in a row... those are ways of attracting stars that only exist in legends.
The popular way of saying challenging a legend is to seek death !
Even if you challenge the Three Stars Penetrating the Sun, you generally have to use a main star with a relatively mild character, such as Tianji, Tianfu, Tianxiang, Tianliang, and Tiantong. If you must use an evil star such as Qisha, Tanlang, Lianzhen, and Pojun to challenge the Three Stars Penetrating the Sun...
It’s the same two words: seeking death!
"What you used should be the pollen of the decadent life, right?" A childish voice suddenly came from above the two people's heads.
"Ah? You are..." Tian Meng looked up and saw that the people who jumped down from the roof that was three people high were the grandfather and grandson who were in the restaurant before.
"You are so brave that you actually indulge in extravagance and decadence in public." The child came closer to Tang Zheng, looking at his face with interest.
"Little boy, don't interrupt when adults are talking." Tang Zheng patted the child's head.
"You..." The child jumped away like a frightened cat, "You... do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that!"
"I don't know, but didn't your parents teach you that you should at least say thank you after being rescued ?" Tang Zheng asked with a smile.
"Humph!" The child pouted, "I...I don't want you to help me out."
"No, so you don't need to say thank you?"
"Humph, it was obviously you who prevented me from having a fight!" The child turned his head away, looking awkward.
As he spoke, the child raised his head again and secretly glanced at Tang Zheng's hand out of the corner of his eye.
It's strange, they are such an ordinary pair of hands.
But how come he didn't notice anything before the slap hit him on the head?
Tian Meng's brain couldn't keep up with the pace of these two people. He was still thinking about the first sentence the child said, about the extravagant life...
Could it be that the thing that Tang Zheng took out of the bag, which he didn't see clearly, was the pollen of the decadent life?
"A life of decadence and debauchery... a star-gazing plate..." Tian Meng spent a lot of brain cells before he finally connected everything.
The runes on the Star-Judgement Plate were all carved with purple gold. It was a very valuable item. No wonder the three people holding the Star-Judgement Plate had such happy and intoxicated looks on their faces after coming into contact with the decadent life.
As for how pleasant and pleasurable that illusion is...
Tian Meng subconsciously glanced at Tang Zheng - perhaps only Tang Zheng, who had experienced it personally, would know.
Tang Zheng pulled them to the empty table nearby, not because of the broken teacups, but because if they got too close to the flower king in the bundle, the pollen from the decadent life would be almost ineffective!
As for the "blood jade cup", it was only because there happened to be a few broken cups nearby. Otherwise, it would have definitely become a "blood jade bowl", "blood jade chopsticks", or "blood jade trash can" or something like that.
"Brother Tang, I...I was reckless." Tian Meng recalled his series of actions and felt a little embarrassed.
"You are not reckless, you are just inexperienced." Tang Zheng pointed at the child and said, "Look, just like this one."
"Who are you talking about?" A star image of a skull and bones suddenly appeared behind the child!
Two bright stars were clearly lit above the skeleton's feet.
Tian Meng's eyelids jumped: "Two stars... Blood Sea Corpse King..."
The old man, who had been silent all this time, chuckled twice and gently pressed the child's shoulder with his weak and withered hand: "Okay, Ah Zhi. You are still young and inexperienced..."
"Hmph!" Azhi's constellation was pressed down unwillingly.
"Come to think of it, why are you two following us?" Tang Zheng didn't look at Azhi again, but turned to the old man, staring at his face with a smile.
Although the old man's expression did not change, when Tang Zheng glanced at him, it was as if his soul was pierced by a master who had practiced the Heavenly Eye Technique.
"I'm not following you, I'm following him." The old man pointed at Tian Meng.
"Ah?" Tian Meng was stunned. "I... me?"
"What's your last name?" The old man's eyes stayed on Tian Meng. "I saw that you were wearing the jade pendant with the word 'loyalty' on it from the Tianqin family."
Tian Meng quickly took two steps back: "I am a descendant of the Frostless Blade Tian family."
The old man's face showed no unexpected emotion, but his eyes were a little far away: "Tian family... the Tian family from the Battle of Tulun Pass?"
"..." Tian Meng lowered his head and hummed softly.
" Did you just have a starburst?" The old man looked at Tian Meng.
"Uh, yes..."
"You are lucky to survive the star explosion. However, if you don't receive treatment from Tianyi Valley within three days, your meridians will be severed and you will gradually become disabled and die in the next ten years."
Tian Meng thought he had saved his life, but his face turned pale again when he heard this.
Spend ten years dying slowly?
It would be better to just die when the star explodes!
"You...you came here specially just to...remind the junior?" Tian Meng asked.
"I just think you two little kids are interesting. You just happen to be descendants of the Tian family..." The old man waved his long sleeves and smiled, "Alas, young people are easily excited... Starburst is not a joke!"
"It was a critical moment and the situation forced us to do so." Tian Meng subconsciously explained.
"I know. Everyone has been young before..." The old man's smile was a little vicissitudes. "Go, hurry up and treat your injuries. The sooner you get treatment, the less sequelae you will have in the future..."
“But, Tian...Tianyi Valley, Tianyi Valley is in...the territory of Qiantang family. We have to cross the entire territory of Tianqin family. We can’t get there in three days…” Tian Meng’s breathing became heavy and his face looked ashen.
"You are destined to be together, kid." The old man smiled and looked towards the west. "Xiao Tanzhi, the young master of Tianyi Valley, is currently with the expeditionary force at Tulun Pass."
"Ah..." Tian Meng's emotions fluctuated greatly.
"How far is Turun Pass?" Tang Zheng interrupted.
"If you ride a horse, it will take two days and two nights."
"Then go find a horse!" Tang Zheng urged.
"But... I promised to teach at Tangjiabao..."
"..." Tang Zheng was also powerless to complain about Tian Meng.
This matter concerns human life, and yet this scholar still has time to fuss about it.
"You go, I'll explain to Tangjiabao." Tang Zheng made a gesture of "I'm very reliable."
"But..." Tian Meng was still hesitant.
Even though he knew time was urgent, he didn't want to just give up without saying anything.
This is the pedantry and inflexibility of scholars.
However, this is also their character and their commitment to keeping their word!
"How about this, you leave a letter and let this young brother take it to Tangjiabao?" The old man made a win-win suggestion.
"Okay." Tang Zheng made the decision on behalf of Tian Meng. "Where's the paper and pen you bought?"
Tian Meng put down his bag somewhat woodenly, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a letter on the spot while lying on the ground.
Because he wrote it in a hurry, he was covered in dust when he stood up.
Tian Meng took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Tang Zheng: "A token... a token of trust!"
Tang Zheng put the book and the jade pendant into his arms, raised his head, looked at Tian Meng, pressed his shoulder hard, and said, "Alive!"
"Hmm..." Tian Meng's eyes turned red again.
"The main reason is that I don't want the first person in the world who remembers my name to die so casually."
"cough……"
"Go!" Tang Zheng watched Tian Meng walk away, looking back every step of the way. He laughed, waved at him, and sang loudly: "Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead. There is no one in the world who doesn't know you!"
Tian Meng was stunned.
Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead, everyone in the world knows you...
He looked back at Tang Zheng deeply again.
Then, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and turned away.
After his back had disappeared, Tang Zheng touched his head and said, "Oh no, where is the Tang Family Castle he mentioned?"
Azhi, who was still thinking about the words "Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead", almost fell to the ground when he heard this.
