Breeding Jiao

In early spring and March, the ice and snow have not yet melted, and there is still a bit of chill in the wind.

There is a thick layer of snow on both sides of the official road, and there is an endless stream of merchants. Most of the merchants who have been doing business in the frontier for a long time will choose some ponies, which have good stamina and do not need any expensive fodder. They are often fed once a day. It will be able to pull a cart of goods for a day.

The thin snow on the official road turned into accumulated water and dust, and then was trampled through the muddy water by horses from all over the Central Plains, leaving hoofprints.

"Da da da"

The sound of horseshoes, from far to near, a tall snow-white horse stepped through the muddy water and came from a distance. Behind the white horse was a mahogany carriage. In front of the carriage sat a young boy with red lips and white teeth, about twelve or thirteen years old. Dressed in a red robe, with snow-white fluff around his neck, he is even more cute as a young Yuxue, and he is riding a horse with a whip at the moment.

This official road has always been mostly businessmen, because next to the official road is the most prosperous ancient frontier city - Taxia City.

Among the crowd of brown pony horses, this tall white horse is particularly conspicuous. The white horse has a tall body, smooth fur, and muscular limbs. It looks like a horse breed that can only be bred from the abundant aquatic plants outside the Great Wall.

"Woo—" the young man stopped the carriage, the white horse snorted, and its front hooves lightly stepped on the muddy water, as if it was a little agitated by those too straightforward and scorching eyes.

Suddenly, a slender and shiny hand caressed the horse's neck. This hand had distinct joints. It looked like a man's hand, but it looked like it was carved from white jade, with a sickly paleness. The white horse almost blends into one.

No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a mortal.

The young man laughed suddenly, and said in a brisk tone: "Master, further ahead is Taxia City, shall we go in now?"

The man who was called Master calmed down the white horse and took a step forward. At this time, the bystanders could see the man's attire clearly.

The man was tall and thin, wearing a white robe that swept the floor, with blue and blue intricate patterns embroidered on the hem, the white robe was attached with a wide hood and a face scarf, which almost completely covered his entire face, except for a pair of shiny and moist eyes. His brown eyes seemed to be filled with a pool of autumn water, but there were a few blue lines at the end of his right eye, which could not be seen clearly because of the cover of the white robe and hood.

The bystanders were shocked when they sneaked a look, the patterns on the clothes... seemed to be the patterns of Lou Lan's royal family.

"Master...?" The young man couldn't help asking again when he saw that the man was looking up in the direction of the city without speaking.

The man held a wooden staff and tapped it lightly. The wooden staff was as tall as a person. The wood was black and smooth, and the top was made into a snake head. A blue spar was held in the mouth of the snake, which reflected strange brilliance in the sunlight.

"Go ahead, I'm going to a place." The man replied softly, his voice was as clear as the spring breeze blowing wicker and ripples on the water, the man was about twenty years old, very young.

The young man asked curiously, "Where is Master going? Do you want disciples to accompany you?"

The white-robed man's brows and eyes were slightly curved, and he refused: "No need, I will escort the princess into the city, can I bring the pass?"

The young man nodded hurriedly, "I'm taking it."

"Do you still remember the formula I taught you?"

"Remember, don't worry, master!"

Only then did the white-robed man nod his head in response, and said softly: "I'll come back as soon as I go, let me know which inn I'm staying in."

"Okay." The young man responded readily, and when he was about to wave his whip, a female voice suddenly came from inside the carriage.

"National teacher be more careful, there are too many people here."

The man in white robe said slowly: "Princess, don't worry, I know this place very well."

Since the white-robed man said so, the concubine didn't say any more, she just said goodbye softly, and went into the city together with the young man.

The man stood quietly on the spot until the carriage entered the city gate and disappeared into the crowd, then turned around and stepped on a path with ease.

At the tea shed next to the city gate, a young man kept looking in the direction where the white-robed man disappeared, his face full of hesitation, and suddenly, a palm wind swept across.

"oops!"

The young man covered his head, received a firm slap on the back of the head, and immediately grinned, "Father! Why did you hit me!"

A tall and burly middle-aged man snorted coldly, and reprimanded: "Let you watch the horse! Where are your eyeballs?! If I didn't come back just in time, the horse would have run away!"

The young man was startled immediately, and turned his head to see the horse being neatly tied to the stake, he was relieved, turned his head and saw his angry father, leaned closer and whispered: "Father! I just saw Immortal cultivator!"

The middle-aged man glanced suspiciously at the official road, and the young man hurriedly added: "You were not there just now, just now, a carriage outside the Great Wall entered the city, and there was a man with him, dressed in white and dragging the ground, standing on the muddy water , I didn’t get my clothes dirty!”

The middle-aged man snorted softly and said slowly: "What's so strange about this? In the past hundred years, the immortal sects have been established one by one. I don't know how many more immortal cultivators. Who would have thought a hundred years ago that we mortals will still have the opportunity in the future?" How about becoming a god? Tsk tsk tsk, I heard that your cousin was also selected a few days ago to go to a... What is the name of the Xuanfeng Sect? Our family may produce some kind of fairy."

The young man muttered a few words, but stopped answering.

the other side.

It seems that no one has set foot on the path for a long time. A thick layer of snow has not been swept away. The man in white robe creaked when he stepped on it, leaving a string of footprints.

At the end of the road, there is a clear water pool surrounded by mountains.

At this moment, everything is silent between the heaven and the earth, the top of the mountain is a vast expanse of white, connecting with the sky, the water waves on the lake are clear, reflecting the silhouettes of the mountains, and from time to time, a few birds fly obliquely across the water surface, creating a circle of ripples.

The man in white robe stopped by the lake, looked up at the pool surrounded by mountains, his fingertips holding the wooden staff trembled slightly.

"I thought you weren't coming back." Suddenly, a clear voice rang out. The person who came was dressed in red, and looked like a ball of red flames burning on the snow. red gemstone.

"Long time no see, big brother." The man in white robe sighed softly and said slowly.

"Yes, after careful calculation, more than 300 years have passed." Yi Xin stepped forward and stood side by side with the man in white, his tone was no longer frivolous as before, but instead there was a sense of melancholy about meeting an old friend.

"It's 390 years, and in one year, it will be 400 years."

"Are you still looking for him? After so many years, there is still no news about him. In my opinion, the possibility of surviving...is very slim." Yi Xin tilted his head, frowning slightly.

"Wang Shu, too much obsession is not a good thing. You have reached the limit of your practice, why don't you turn into a dragon?"

"Nowadays there are countless mortals who have become immortals, and the sky is strict. Once I transform into a dragon, I will no longer be able to go to sea easily." Wang Shu looked at the birds in the mountains in the distance, and said indifferently.

Yi Xin looked at Wang Shu silently for a long time, and after a while, he sighed, "If you are worried about being sent to the North Sea, I will entrust some immortals to do some tricks and arrange you into the East Sea. I will tell you the truth." Right, the Heaven Realm has planned to support the East China Sea to rule the other three seas."

"With me here, as long as you enter the East China Sea, it will be very easy for you to find a job at will. No one dares to gossip. It's better than... being so down and out in the world."

Wang Shu burst into a sudden smile, with a gentle smile. Over 300 years had almost wiped out the freshness of his body. He made many friends, but they only stopped for a moment before continuing on their journey.

What they are looking for is nothing more than a sliver of news about Zongwu.

However, nothing.

"Forget it." Yi Xin withdrew his gaze and sighed helplessly, "I just advise you, don't be obsessed, otherwise it will be difficult to survive the thunder disaster when you transform into a dragon in the future."

Wang Shu just smiled and didn't answer. In his last life, he almost regarded transforming dragons as everything in his life, except retreat, but in this life, he easily cultivated to perfection. When he came to the door, he didn't want to transform dragon .

It's really good luck.

There was silence between the two, and the distant mountain seemed to be a little ink stain on the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist.There was the sound of snow falling on the tree branches.

"You haven't been back for so long, why don't you go in and have a look?" Yi Xin asked softly.

Wang Shu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slowly, "No, I still need to escort the princess to Gongcheng during this trip, or I will come back after the matter is over."

"Are you still brooding over what happened back then? Guilao and your godmother probably don't want to see you like this. Some things, just let it go."

Wang Shu fell silent for a long time when he heard the words, and the birds flew across the sky, leaving a long cry, which brought his thoughts back to more than 300 years ago.

"I'm the one who got old turtle in trouble."

More than 300 years ago, he let Chi Zhe and Zong Wu go, and the second prince saw all kinds of deeds clearly. He was immediately furious and took him to Beihai, intending to put him to death.

In the Beihai Dragon Palace, he didn't say anything to defend himself, but just looked at the old Dragon King quietly.The first thing the old dragon asked was Zong Wu's whereabouts. After the second prince told him that Zong Wu was missing and his whereabouts were unknown, Wang Shu saw the old dragon's eyes with a trace of happiness and pleasure.

Wang Shu knew what he was happy about. As long as Zong Wu declared his disappearance to the outside world, even if he found Zong Wu in the future, he would just silence him. Anyway, outsiders would only pity him as a bereaved father.

The old dragon didn't even look at him, and directly ordered him to be executed.

Just between that moment of life and death, Gui Lao hurried over.

"It was only then that I found out that Gui Lao is actually a veteran of Beihai. If he hadn't tried his best to protect me, I wouldn't be where I am today." Wang Shu sighed softly, turned sideways, and walked slowly along the shore.

A hundred years ago, on this shore too, he and Zong Wu released two lotus lanterns...

"It's good that you know, have you practiced the exercises I gave you?" Yi Xin followed slowly, walking side by side with Wang Shu.

"Naturally, I'm familiar with it by heart." Wang Shu chuckled twice. Back then, his tail was pierced by a magic weapon, his meridians were locked, and his cultivation level disappeared overnight. Unable to return to Sanxiantan safely.

But because of this, Gui Lao passed away not long after.Although Gui Lao kept telling him that fate should be like this and that his life expectancy has nothing to do with Wang Shu, how could Wang Shu feel at ease.

"At that time, Gui Lao never told you that the thing that hooked your tail was actually an immortal weapon called Suoxian. For cultivation, you can only be beaten back to your original shape and die." Yi Xin said in a slow voice, he turned into a stone and threw it into the water with all his strength.

The stones circled and jumped several times on the water surface, creating ripples.

"Fortunately, you are talented, so you can learn my Yu Clan's exercises." Yi Xin threw another stone while speaking. "How is it? There hasn't been a backlash in the cultivation technique in recent years, right?"

"That's not true, it's just that there are some more patterns on the face, which is scary, and you can't see people if you don't cover your face." Wang Shu said with a smile.

"How come? Let me take a look?" Yi Xin blinked, and stretched out his hand to remove Wang Shu's mask.

Wang Shu avoided it with a smile, and asked, "What about you, how have you been these years?"

Yi Xin sighed, and jokingly said: "I can't compare to you, being Lou Lan's national teacher, it's really a glorious scene."

Wang Shu smiled and did not refute.

The reason why he agreed to be the national teacher was because he accidentally saved a young man in the desert a hundred years ago, and after inquiring, he learned that the young man was the prince of the Loulan Kingdom, who was hunted down to this place because the king's uncle seized the crown prince.

As for the Lou Lan Country, Wang Shu accidentally learned from an ancient book that the god that this country believes in is the god Moluo, that is, the black dragon in the battle of the ancient dragon gods.

Since it has something to do with the Jiao clan, Wang Shu naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and helped the young man regain the throne with his own skills, so he was regarded as the national teacher.

The young man accompanying him today was the grandson of King Loulan back then.

Yi Xin smiled and asked, "Are you still going to look for it?"

Just as Wang Shu was about to reply, there was a loud bird song in the sky, and then a chubby little white sparrow staggered and ejected from the bushes, bumped into Wang Shu Xin's mouth, and fell down immediately.

Wang Shu couldn't help laughing, and raised his hand to catch the little white bird. The little white bird turned over, and his heart beat a few times in Wang Shu's hand, and then said: "Master, master, I live with the princess in the biggest family in the city. The inn is called Penglaixian, the rooms are Tianzi No. [-] and No. [-], the princess is in No. [-], we are in No. [-], Master, don’t go wrong!"

"This stupid bird is your apprentice?" Yi Xin looked at the little white sparrow with disgust on his face, thinking that it lowered the IQ of the entire Yu clan.

"Understood." Wang Shu replied softly, with a movement of his fingertips, a cyan feather was suddenly added to the little white sparrow's body, the little white sparrow blinked, and flapped its wings to fly to the sky.

"He pestered me for academic methods, but I couldn't help it." Wang Shu sighed softly.

Yi Xin said nonchalantly, "It's simple. In recent years, since the dragon's veins in the Chang Kun Mountain have been broken, and the aura has been released, there are many immortal cultivators in the human world. Just throw him into any sect."

"Since I agreed to teach, I have to be responsible to the end." Wang Shu shook his head helplessly, rejecting the proposal.

Yi Xin said it casually, but he was not angry when Wang Shu refuted it, and continued: "But when it comes to this, I remembered it, I heard that in a few days, all the cultivation sects in the human world will hold a grand competition. "

"Huh?" Wang Shu responded with a lack of interest.

"The point is..." Yi Xin lowered his voice, leaned closer to Wang Shu's ear, and said softly, "I heard that the Heaven Realm will also intervene in this matter, and I heard that a new realm will be opened, called the Stone Lotus Realm, and the Heaven Realm will go there. There are a lot of fairy artifacts and pills in the stone lotus world, and then this competition will not only be a competition in the human world."

"You mean..." Wang Shu frowned slightly and pondered.

"Yes, the demon world can also enter together to compete for resources, and I heard that there are monks in the human world who have created their own lineage of ghosts. That is to say, once this competition is opened, the three worlds of humans, demons, and ghosts will compete together."

"Really. It's lively." Wang Shu nodded, still unmoved.

Yi Xin seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and at this moment, he said in a leisurely manner, "I know you don't like to join in the fun, and with your current cultivation, it would be a bit bullying for you to go, but..."

"Have you heard of the Sansheng Stone?"

Wang Shu frowned, staring silently.

Seeing this, Yi Xin smiled and said: "I found out that there is a three-life stone in the magic weapon thrown in this time. If you want to find someone, maybe you can try to engrave his name on the three-life stone. If he is still alive, Sanshengshi will naturally tell you where he is and who he is."

"Where is the venue? How do I sign up?" Wang Shu took a deep breath, but his tone was trembling uncontrollably.
