Zhijun Xiangu

On the seventh day of the seventh month of the ninth year of Emperor Chen Xiuyuan, the sky was fine for thousands of miles in central Sichuan, and the foot of Luoxia Mountain was breezy, so it didn't look too hot.

"Woo!" The young man in blue robe and white shirt reined in his horse, stroked the mane of his beloved horse, and asked the attendant, "Li Ge, are we here yet?"

The attendant quickly put down the rein and took out the map: "Master, it should be at the foot of Luoxia Mountain."

Li Ran got off the horse gracefully. The gauntlets and boots on his hands made him look like a handsome swordsman, but the jade flute around his waist and the bookish look on his body made him look like a handsome young man of aristocratic family. We've arrived at our destination, let's proceed to the next step," Li Ran shook his finger with a smile, "Find the nearest town to play!"

"...Young master," Li Ge reluctantly followed him off the horse and took the reins of the two of them, "If you don't want to do what the master ordered, just tell the master directly. You are the only son in the family. The master dare not hit you again."

Why bother, it's really a long way to go to Luoxia Mountain.

"I don't want to do it, I really don't want to do it. I don't know where I heard the rumors, saying that no one has seen the worshiping spirit clan for thousands of years..."

"Master, it's the Beitang Spirit Clan, I remember it all."

"Oh, I got it, I got it." Li Ran waved his hand, "It is said that the Beitang Spirit Clan has appeared in Luoxia Mountain, so if he is in a hurry, he has to send his own son over, for fear that he will be neglected due to lack of courtesy. What a ghost! I'm still looking for it carefully... Father can't be so eager to try to usurp the throne..."

"Young master!" Li Ge raised his voice in a hurry, and quickly covered Li Ran's mouth, "This matter... can't be said! If someone with a heart hears it..."

Li Ran was shocked first, then smothered, almost didn't come up in one breath, he slapped Li Ge away, and said: "You should keep your voice down, can I not know, but this is all in Bashu, and there is A woolly caring person, forget it, let’s hurry to find something delicious, do you know how long I’ve been looking forward to the public money to play?”

"Master..."

Li Ran ran away in a flash.

Knowing that his young master's personality cannot be pulled back by eight horses, Li Ge hastily followed: "Master, the money is still with me!"

Li Ran's face is very attractive, and his age is between Mr. Pianpian and a young man. He has received countless loves along the way, and within a few steps, a sachet is wandering on his finger. Li Ge has seven or eight hanging on his body. Li Ransai.

Li Ran took a deep breath: "The aroma of the food."

"...No, no, no, what are you talking about with me, I'm a steamed bun seller, with my physique, what kind of bodyguard do I use?!"

Li Ran was taken aback, and looked at the steamed stuffed bun stall across the street. The owner of the stall had a vicious face. He had been selling steamed stuffed buns for more than ten years. People called him Baozi Zhang. Talking to the young people in front of the booth while the steamer was on, many people were looking around to watch the excitement, Baozizhang shouted: "What are you looking at, you want to watch for nothing if you don't buy something?!" Everyone shrank back one after another.

The painful steam almost drowned the back of the young man in deep clothes. The young man continued to reason with Baozi Zhang in a calm tone: "There are no absolutes in the world. Just because you don't need it today doesn't mean you won't do it tomorrow." If you need it, I’ll be your bodyguard, you can give me buns, and you don’t need anything else, why don’t you try something so valuable? I’m very good..."

Li Ran understands that feelings are those who want to eat a king's meal but are embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, don't abduct, don't abduct, I don't understand, you are so small, you are still powerful." Baozizhang took out a few buns, put them on, and handed them to him, "I'll give you a few to eat. , Hey, I think you don't look like you can't even afford buns, and your clothes are pretty good, so why did you get into a fight with me? Run away from home?"

A passer-by said: "Baozi Zhang, you are so kind again, it's fine to feed dogs, but you don't have to worry about being cheated if you feed people!"

"Fuck off, I'm a steamed bun seller, cheating on my steamed stuffed buns? You're a fool, you know nothing! The parents look good, if there's really no other way to come and beg me?"

The young man didn't answer: "No merit, no reward."

"What skill?" Baozi Zhang didn't understand, "I'll take it if I give it to you! I'm pure meat, one is worth two people!"

The young man still didn't pick up, and argued hard: "I work for you because I want to eat for a while, and I don't just take things without doing anything. The elders taught me that you don't get paid for nothing."

Li Ran raised his eyebrows - it's interesting!

He strode to the opposite side and said to Baozi: "Boss! I'll pay for his bun—"

The young man suddenly raised his hand, and a violent blow of spiritual power was thrown out. A man was knocked to the ground seven or eight meters away, holding the purse that was just stolen by the person next to him, and the young man turned around. The head said: "Don't steal, do what you can't do."

He turned his light blue eyes to look at Li Ran again, as if saying, "What do you want to say?"

The whole street was quiet, and everyone looked at the young man in shock. The bun in Baozi Zhang's hand fell to the ground with a "slap", and he hurried to pick it up: "My bun!"

Li Ran stared wide-eyed at the young man, and the turbulent waves rushed through his heart. The young man had been quietly waiting for him to speak without showing any impatience. What shit luck! It’s delivered to your door, and dad’s news is not a lie!”

"I would like to invite... this son to go and discuss in detail, I will bear all your steamed stuffed bun money and meal expenses! Of course—" He rushed over before "no merit, no reward" came out. Said, "Young Master, please answer my question, and protect my safety, in exchange."

After thinking about it, he understood how the Beitang Spirit Clan had been reduced to being bodyguards—hidden for thousands of years, it was no wonder he had the money he has now.This person's words and deeds are still upright, and his idioms make sense. It is estimated that his thinking is... a little behind.

"... But I think you don't want to need a bodyguard." The young man hesitated.

Li Ran choked.

Just kidding, the steamed stuffed bun seller is so big and round you think he needs it, why don't I? !

But he was asking for help, so he had no choice but to sneer and say, "Actually, I have a guard, but my guard is a bit stupid and not very useful..."

"Young master!" Before he could finish his sentence, Li Ge's loud voice, the "silly guard", came from afar. He didn't know why he was so anxious, but his voice was out of tune. Before Li Ran could respond, there was a commotion at the end of the street. Shouted, "There are bandits! Young master, there are bandits, run!"

The street exploded at once!

The neighing of horses and the loud laughter of people came from afar, but they are not even small thieves, even horses!

The world is chaotic these days, and it is not uncommon to have bandits. Baozi Zhang grabbed his purse and wanted to run away, but the young man grabbed him with a strong hand. Pull Li Ran behind him, and said to Baozi: "The world is impermanent."

Baozi Zhang was in a hurry: "My ancestor, when are you still insisting on this matter?! Run!"

"No need." He faced the bandits and walked against the flow of people, with a cyan air in his hands, very imposing that "even though there are tens of thousands of people, I will go".

"Wait!" Li Ran brought the sword, which was the high-grade sword his father found for him, but his martial arts were not particularly good, so Li Ge always held it. Li Ge ran over, and he untied his sword and threw it to the young man. Man, the young man caught it and was stunned. Li Ran smiled and said, "Do you know how to use a sword?"

Li Ge shouted: "Young master, what time is it, the sword is useless!"

Li Ran was a bit selfish, he just saw the young man's hand, it was too conspicuous, anyone who has heard the legend of Beitang spirit clan knows what's going on.

"Yes." The young man glanced at him.

Li Ran believed him quite a bit, and said loudly: "I haven't asked the young master's name yet, I'm going to Jinling Li Ran!"

The young man drew his sword and said, "Phoenix Valley Beitang Min."

Almost didn't even see how he got to the bandit, Li Ran saw the sword like a dragon, blood splattered everywhere.

His eyes flickered for a moment.

......

Li Ran originally wanted to ask Bei Tangmin to have a meal first. After all, he must be hungry for a few buns and people for so long, but almost all the shops were scared away by bandits, and there were countless wailing on the street. Those who confiscate it are also off-putting.He simply took a pot of strong wine that he didn't know who was there, and dozens of steamed stuffed buns donated by Baozi Zhang in friendship, and took Bei Tangmin to a roof on the edge of the town, and Li Ge watched from below.

Li Ran drank the wine and looked at Bei Tangmin in shock, taking one bite at a time. While maintaining etiquette, Bei Tangmin wiped out the buns at the highest speed, and ate half of them in a short while.

This is starving for the kids.

He had no choice but to wait for Bei Tangmin to finish eating.

Beitang swallowed his last mouthful gently, and said, "What do you want to say?"

Li Ran looked at the dozens of steamed stuffed buns that had disappeared and came back to his senses: "Oh...you are from the Beitang Spirit Clan, right?"

I almost wanted to slap myself after I finished speaking - aren't you talking nonsense? !You are not afraid of people thinking too much!

Bei Tangmin's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly, "Yes."

Li Ran was stunned: "You don't shy away from me asking this?"

"No taboo, I escaped secretly, only the elders of the clan taboo," Bei Tangmin said, "They don't even allow anyone to mention the matter of leaving the valley."

"Oh, so what are you going to do next?"

Bei Tangmin glanced at him: "Didn't you say that I will protect you?"

Li Ran patted his thigh: "I know, after that, you finally ran out, and you will never be able to stay by my side forever."

...If his father knew that he was asking such a question, he would have to strangle him.

Bei Tangmin had no duty or taboo at all, he thought seriously for a while, and said: "I want to go outside, the farther the better, I will go as soon as I have money, I want to see how dangerous this world is, why my family If you want to hide from the world for thousands of years, why should we hide?"

"..." Li Ran was silent for a while, "Then, you go to my house with me first, we have a pleasant cooperation...By the way, how old are you, do you have any words?"

Bei Tangmin: "Eighteen, not yet."

Li Ran said: "Oh, neither do I."

"One day I will have it," Beitang Min said, "When I'm 20 years old, my character must be Mingshi, and that's what the patriarch of the Beitang Spirit Clan can have."

Li Ran: "..."

The fundamental purpose of this guy is not to see the world.
