Chapter 116
The idea of ​​traveling in this world has been around since Zhou Ming came to this world.

Go to the top of the mountain to compose poems, go boating and play the piano in the middle of the big river, go to the high-rise building to drink and compose poems, go to the place where the sky and the earth are empty to sing loudly, go to the world to experience the rolling red dust... how chic is it?

This is just like the protagonist Li Bai in his recent comic "The Legend of Li Bai, the Sword Immortal of Shushan", who traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, slashed demons and demons all the way, punished rape and evil all the way, killed one person in ten steps, and traveled thousands of miles. Leave a note.

It is precisely because Zhou Ming completely substituted himself into the role of Li Bai, the comic "The Legend of Li Bai, the Sword Immortal of Shushan", has received rave reviews from readers since the first chapter was serialized in "Manga".

Even, because of this cartoon, there is a fashion trend of wearing "Li Bai outfit", combing "Li Bai's hair" and matching "Li Bai sword" all over Qingzhou.

Naturally, the homicide rate in Qingzhou has also increased a lot. Many local hooligans who do evil are now afraid when they see people wearing "Li Bai costumes". Picked it up within ten steps...

As for the itinerary, Zhou Ming has already planned it out:
That is to say, starting from my hometown in Haiping County, Qingzhou, all the way south, passing through the four states of Jiji, Yang, Sheng, and Ya, and arriving at the ends of the earth, strolling on the white sandy beach, and looking at the tropical sea.

Then turn to advance westward, pass through Hongzhou and Guizhou, and enter the land of Bashu known as the "Land of Abundance", take a look at the human customs here, and learn the words of the Shu people.

From west to north, go to the Great Northwest Wilderness and the Far West, outside the Yumen Pass in Liangzhou, and take a look at the grand occasion of the Silk Road.

Finally, towards the northeast, on the prairie of Youzhou, enjoy the beautiful scenery of "the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep"...

Zhou Ming, who has traveled all over the Great Zhou and Kyushu after a round of travel, has one last stop, which will be the end of his journey.

Zhongzhou!

Imperial Capital, Luojing City!

In addition, this plan to travel the world is also related to two other plans he is implementing:
Zihua Bookstore plan, Deyun Club plan!

Zihua Bookstore has been in Qingzhou for more than two years. There are nearly 200 Zihua Bookstores in Qingzhou. The readers have covered more than 95% of the cultural population in Qingzhou. Now in Qingzhou, But almost anyone who is literate has never heard of Zihua Bookstore. In many places, there are similar XX Bookstores and XX Bookstores, but because the output content is single, the quality is uneven, and the number of readers. It is less than one percent of Zihua Bookstore.

And because since the beginning of its establishment, Zihua Bookstores all over the country have the function of accepting letters from readers and contributions from literary lovers, so the current Zihua Bookstore has three main books: "Story Club", "Zihua Anthology", and "Comics". In addition to the small number of submissions for comics, most of the contents of each issue of "Story Club" and "Zihua Anthology" are third-party manuscripts submitted by literature lovers. These contributions account for the content of each issue More than 90% of.

Even Zihua Bookstore, the novel column of "Story Club", signed a contract with several columnists to write all kinds of strange novels...

In addition, not only in Qingzhou, the influence of Zihua Bookstore has also spread to several surrounding states and counties. Zhou Ming has received hundreds of letters from readers in Jeju, Youzhou, Yangzhou and even as far away as Zhongzhou. Part of it is to express his admiration for him, and the other part is to complain about why they don't have Zihua Bookstore there, only Qingzhou has...

Therefore, the time has come for the Zihua Bookstore to be opened all over the country. In the past few months, Zhou Ming has also dispatched a large number of capable people, carrying a large amount of gold and silver, to various places in Kyushu to buy houses and land, and recruit people, ready to let Zihua Bookstore is in full bloom.

There is also the Deyun Society. Zhou Ming dare not say that in Dazhou, there will be dozens or even hundreds of them. His goal is to open ten pilots in the ten states of Dazhou. Don't worry, it can be two or three years sooner, or five or six years later, you can afford it.

The key point is to focus on the Zihua Bookstore project first.

While Zhou Ming traveled around the world and passed through various places, he would also track the implementation of these two plans, and even personally guide them to ensure that the two plans were implemented smoothly.

With the route planning, the task arrangement, and the impulse in his heart almost irresistible, the only thing Zhou Ming has to do now is to do the ideological work of his parents and get them to agree to his travel plan.

So, he made all the preparations, and a few days later, Zhou Ming told his parents and family members about his plan.

Undoubtedly, his travel plan was opposed by both his parents.

His father, Tian Feng, was fine. When he was young, he also went out to travel. He didn't object to Zhou Ming's travel. He just thought that it would be better for the son to get married first, and then go on a trip after he had children. Otherwise, if something went wrong Unexpectedly, this can be...

Not to mention the mother, Cui Shi, her son is the heart and soul that fell from her body. She will worry about her son when she is away from home for three days. He just strongly opposed it, unless he married his cousin Cui Rou first, had three boys and two girls, and then went on a trip.

Zhou Ming can only do their ideological work: "Father, mother, don't you still have Brother Jing at home? As for getting married, if I really marry a wife and have children, it will be even more difficult for me to travel. The obstacles you will encounter will definitely be bigger than this! Parents, let the child go out to travel for two years while the child is young. The child is a majestic man with a big heart, not a bird in a cage, and cannot fly high... Wouldn’t it be better to go out sooner, come back earlier, and stay by your parents’ side from now on?” (Jingdi refers to Zhou Ming’s younger brother Tian Jing, who is only nine years old this year)
In this era, filial piety is extremely important, and parents are not far away. After the death of parents, they have to observe filial piety for three years.Of course, Zhou Ming can use the name of going out for a few days to play, and he can also deceive them when he leaves, saying that he is going to Zhongzhou to take the imperial examination and spend a year and a half outside... But the word filial piety is true and sincere. Ming does not dare to say that he is a model filial son, but some basic filial piety must be done: do not lie to parents, try to eliminate their worries, loosen the fetters that entangle themselves, and solve the main worries before stepping on Throttle, run forward.

Life, isn't it exactly like this, you have to go forward bravely, but you also have to worry about it, don't get lost, and remember the way home.

After a few days, Zhou Ming, with a firm attitude, still completed the ideological work of all his relatives. Of course, the price was very high. Zhou Ming made countless promises, and then he started to pack his bags, call friends and set off together.

……

In the twenty-fourth year of Tiansheng, March [-]rd, morning.

"Jian'er, don't travel too long, come back soon!"

"You must pay attention to your safety outside. If you encounter strong men and bandits, just give them all your money and save your life!"

"Brother Zihua, you are not allowed to provoke other women outside, come back early and marry me!"

"Brother, you must write to me frequently, at least once every ten days. This is what you promised me."

"Brother, brother, take brother with you, brother wants to go too!" said nine-year-old brother Tian Jing.

"Brother Zihua, I wish I could go with you..." There were voices of regret from some classmates and friends.

Zhou Ming expressed comfort one by one, and bid farewell. After drinking three cups of hometown wine, outside the ten-mile long pavilion, he waved goodbye to hundreds of Zhuang Ding who came to see him off spontaneously. The man in the black tower is Li Dazui, and behind him are Lu Wencai, Tang Junming, Zhang Yuan, and Cui Shian, four students. On both sides, there are eight Tian family soldiers accompanying them. These soldiers are all sturdy and strong. With extraordinary martial arts skills, a long knife on his waist, a flintlock shotgun on his back, two short-barreled flintlock guns, and sufficient ammunition, there is no need to worry about safety along the way...
