The Legend of Xianyu

They had long known that Li Tianran would go out and leave them, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.

But they had already promised Li Tianran to practice martial arts at that time, and they had already made a decision.

But when it comes to really facing this matter, even if they have already made a decision, they still can't hold back their inner feelings.

Li Tianran's mother ran into her room alone, closed the door tightly, and cried loudly inside.

Li Tianran's father came to Li Tianran's side, patted Li Tianran's shoulder and said, "Natural, remember what I taught you." "

"When the eagle grows up, it will definitely fly into the sky, and besides, you are not your average eagle. "

"Father believes in you, and when the time comes, you will definitely break out of your own world. "

"Your boy said that he would be the first in the world that day, and he was very happy for his father. "

"But what is the best in the world, I don't care for my father, I just want you to live this life in peace, joy, freedom and nature for the rest of your life."

After speaking, Li Tianran's father left, leaving Li Tianran alone to stay where he was.

At the moment when his father left, Li Tianran knelt down and kowtowed heavily on the ground three times.

Li Tianran's father stood not far away, with his back to Li Tianran, not daring to show his tearful side to Li Tianran.

In front of Li Tianran, he has always been that strong person, even if he encounters something, he will not show his weaknesses in front of Li Tianran.

"Let's go. "

Li Tianran's father said.

Li Tianran got up, picked up the first one on his back and put it on his back, turned around and left his home.

After Li Tianran left, Li Tianran's father turned to look at Li Tianran and shouted, "Pay attention to safety, don't be reckless in everything." "

Li Tianran turned his back to his father, did not look into the courtyard, and waved.

In the blink of an eye, Li Tianran disappeared into the night.

After Li Tianran left, Li Tianran's mother walked out of the room.

The two men stood there in equal ranks.

"Naturally, he is gone, and he has gone to the world that should belong to him. Li Tianran's father said.

Li Tianran's mother did not respond, but watched the back of Li Tianran's departure.

Li Tianran walked in the night.

Li Tianran first came to the town, looked at all the things in the town, came to the outside of the restaurant, and looked at the movement in the restaurant, where some people were drunk and fell asleep.

Uncle Bai was still telling the story in the script

Li Tianran turned around and left, he didn't know how long it would take him to come back when he went out this time, so he had to go through the places where he had been.

Li Tianran stood on a high hill with a panoramic view of the town.

In Li Tian's back, there is the road leading to the outside.

By this time, the sky was already gradually brightening, and there were already people walking there in the town.

Li Tianran stayed here for a while, then turned around and left here and headed for the way outside.

Li Tianran went to the vast rivers and lakes, the bottomless rivers and lakes.

Li Tianran was wearing a cloth coat and carrying a wooden sword on his back, walking alone on the road.

Li Tianran's family is not wealthy, so the clothes on his body are cloth clothes, and they are also cloth clothes that his mother sewed and mended for another three years.

That wooden sword was a wooden sword that Li Tianran's father had carved out for him.

Li Tianran's father once wanted to give Li Tianran a really good sword, but Li Tianran said that "the sword is just a tool in the hand, even if it is a wooden sword in the hand, it can kill."

The way of the sword practiced by Li Tianran is also a way of the sword that entered the WTO.

In the past few years, Li Tianran has been practicing his sword path non-stop, and he has not slackened at all.

In the past six years, Li Tianran has also been practicing the imperial sword technique, but he has not yet achieved great success, and he has not yet been able to realize the flying of the imperial sword.

After Li Tianran left, the people in the town did not change because of Li Tianran's departure.

Even many people don't know Li Tianran, so they don't care who Li Tianran is.

Li Tianran went to the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes were already welcoming a powerful sword immortal in the future.

Li Tianran has entered the rivers and lakes, and he has already announced that the strongest person of the younger generation is coming, and many people will tremble because of Li Tianran's appearance.

"Jianghu, welcome me Li Tianran's arrival!".

In this way, Li Tianran kept walking out along the only road that connected to the outside of the town.

Two months later

Li Tianran starved with a sword and finally walked to Dinghai City, the first city he saw in his life, and the reason why Li Tianran is the way he is today is because he thought he was dashing and turned his head and left home, and when he walked on the road without a little coil, he found that he was not coiled on his body, and he was embarrassed to go home to get it. He stiffened his scalp and kept moving forward. There are many trees in the south, and Li Tianran is a natural road idiot who has walked half a month to two months, thanks to the fact that there are a lot of game and sweet potatoes in the southern woods, and our future number one sword fairy in the world was not almost starved to death in this woods that no one knows. Later, I was lucky enough to meet an uncle who was chopping wood, which brought him out, otherwise God knows how long he would have been in the woods

"Wow! what a big city."

Li Tianran opened his mouth wide and said in surprise

Dinghai City, dare to take the word Dinghai is naturally not a wasteful person, because this city is the largest and highest level of the coastal city in Nanjing, as the first city captured by Emperor Jin Yu, it was named by Emperor Jin Yu himself and has been used to this day. Dinghai City opened 12 city holes in the four directions of east, west, north and south, but even so, the merchants and people from the north and south who entered and left the city every day still blocked these city holes from time to time, and lined up in an extremely long line on the official road. Li Tianran consciously and obediently lined up for a long time, and waited until the time was really close to dusk before squeezing to the city gate, looking at the sergeants who were full of serious faces and carefully checking the luggage packages, Li Tianran, who was sweating profusely, was also obediently inspected, and when the sergeant looked at the wooden sword that was poking obliquely into the sky behind Li Tianran, he couldn't help frowning. "This is a family heirloom sword, and my father once confessed ......" Li Tianran cautiously explained, for fear that the sergeant would confiscate his wooden sword.

"The sword is in the person, the sword is dead, and the person .......is dead" The sergeant glanced at him boredly, waved his hand and said contemptuously: "I have to listen to this kind of thing eight hundred times a day, little guy, you can save it, Li Tianran unwrapped the tie next to him, and his green face was full of bitter smiles. The package contained only a few roasted sweet potatoes and wild fruits picked in the mountains that I don't know what they were called.

The gate cave of Dinghai City is long and dark, probably because it is a seaside city, and some places in the city cave still have moss unique to the south, and the exit on the other side of the city is very far away, it looks like a small hole that will shine, and you can vaguely see a round of sunset falling in the distance, and the red light spills in obliquely, but it can't penetrate far before being swallowed up by the darkness and noise.

Li Tianran followed the people towards that place. Under a burst of bright light, you will see the scenery inside Dinghai City.

On both sides of the street are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops. There are also many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street. The streets stretch east and west to the quieter suburbs outside the city, but the streets are still full of pedestrians: some carrying burdens, some driving ox carts to deliver goods, some driving donkeys to pull wagons, and some stopping to enjoy the scenery of the Mo River. With the tall castle tower as the center, the houses on both sides are lined up, and there are tea houses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses, and so on. The streets are lined with shops, and the afterglow of the twilight sun is faintly sprinkled on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored pavilion cornices, adding a bit of hazy and poetic to the prosperous evening scene of Dinghai City in front of you. The center of Haicheng is a rainbow-shaped bridge and the street surface of Qiaotou Street. At a glance, it is crowded and disorganized, but on closer inspection, these people are people from different walks of life, engaged in various activities. There are some vendors and many tourists on the west side of the bridge. There are knives, scissors, and miscellaneous goods on the stalls. There are those who sell tea, and there are those who read fortunes. Many people leaned on the railings on the side of the bridge, or pointed or watched the boats passing in the river. On the sidewalk in the middle of the bridge, there is a bustling flow of people, some are sitting in sedan chairs, some are riding horses, some are carrying burdens, some are driving donkeys to carry goods, and some are pushing wheelbarrows, and there are ...... wheelbarrows

All this in front of him seemed so strange and novel to Li Tianran, who had just come out of a small mountain village

"Is this the Jianghu?"

Goo~~

Before Li Tianran finished sighing, his stomach screamed uncontrollably

It just so happened that Li Tianran's strange screams were heard by a little girl passing by

"You're going into the city once, it's funny to see how you haven't seen the world."

Li Tianran raised his head when he heard the voice, and saw a little girl about fifteen or sixteen years old standing in front of him, with a slightly round face, a very sweet appearance, a pair of big eyes that were dark and bright, and the corners of her mouth were also smiling. The little girl was dressed in a pale green coarse cloth dress, and her face was mischievous. The eyes are smart and there is a moving charm.

"How do you know".

Li Tianran looked puzzled

"I see eight hundred or more people a day like you who enter the city for the first time, but it is the first time I have seen someone like you who has never closed his mouth since he entered the city."

The little girl laughed

The little girl smiled so much that her two eyes turned into two crescents, the corners of her mouth turned into beautiful arcs, the deep dimples filled her with happiness, and the hearty laughter entered the ears of the people around her like silver bells, which made Li Tianran want to laugh with her.

"Okay, okay, for the sake of you making me so happy, I'll take you to my noodle restaurant to eat noodles, it just so happens that you're hungry too

."

After eating, he took Li Tianran's hand and walked in the direction of the noodle restaurant that the little girl said

The first time she was held by a little girl, she was still such a beautiful girl, Li Tianran's face was red, and she looked very shy, but she just whispered a word that she dared to ask the girl's name

Seeing Li Tianran like this, the girl smiled even more happily. Even grabbed Li Tianran's hand harder by two points

"Me, everyone around me calls me Little Swallow, but what about you, you can call me the embodiment of justice, how about a fairy by the sea?"

Li Tianran also nodded shyly after hearing this, then can I call you Xiaoyanzi in the future?

"Yes, here we are".

As he spoke, Li Tianran looked up and saw that the first impression of this noodle restaurant was that it was simple, clean and warm. There is a signboard hanging at the door, which reads "Wu Family Time-honored Noodle Restaurant", although the handwriting is a little mottled, but it reveals the traces of time.

Before entering the door, a fragrance comes to the nose, making people salivate. The interior of the noodle shop is also very simple and neat.

Xiaoyanzi dragged Li Tianran into the noodle restaurant while shouting, "Dad picked up a friend on the road today and brought him a bowl of noodles, he was hungry."

The voice did not fall

There was a middle-aged man's shout in the back hall.

"Holo".

Li Tianran saw a middle-aged man in his forties with a resolute face through the crack in the curtain where the voice came. He had a slight stubble on his face, and his skin was dark, which must have been washed and worn by the years, and his back was very straight, and sweat stained his gray cloth clothes. The early morning sunlight poured in through the kitchen window, illuminating the entire stove. The middle-aged man stood in front of the stage, wearing a neat gray cloth shirt, bent down slightly, looking intently at the water in the pot, waiting for the water to boil. When the water boiled, he quickly put the noodles in the pot and stirred so that each noodle was evenly heated.

After the noodles are cooked, he takes them out again with chopsticks and prepares to rinse them with cold water. This removes the starch from the noodles and makes them smoother.

Just when Li Tianran was curious to watch him cook noodles, Xiaoyanzi also sat on the table opposite him with his hands on his face, and his eyes kept staring at Li Tianran.

When he came back to his senses, he didn't know how long he had been stared at, and Li Tianran, who had reacted, instantly looked down at the table with his cheeks like ripe apples. After Xiaoyanzi saw this reaction, for a while, only Xiaoyanzi's silver bell-like laughter remained in the entire noodle restaurant.

Fortunately, it didn't last long before the noodles came up, and the middle-aged man put the noodles in front of Li Tianran and said

"The noodles are ready, let's eat them while they're hot. Since you are a friend of Xiaoyanzi, you can call me Uncle Wu in the future, if you are hungry in this Dinghai City in the future, come to my noodle restaurant to eat noodles, although my noodle restaurant is small, it is okay to give you such a half-sized child a few bowls of noodles to eat."

After speaking, before Li Tianran could say thank you, he walked back to the kitchen and noodles.

A bowl of steaming mutton noodles was served, and Li Tianran was shrouded in the lingering heat. The heat has an enticing aroma, mixed with the delicate aroma of beef, vegetables, white noodles and soup.

"Don't say thank you yet, eat noodles quickly, if you don't eat it, it's almost a lump, this is my father's craft, and my father's craftsmanship is also one of the best in the entire Dinghai City."

Xiaoyanzi looked proud, and handed the chopsticks to Li Tianran as she spoke

Li Tianran took the chopsticks and took a big gulp, probably because Li Tianran had eaten wild game and sweet potatoes in the mountains for several months, or because Lao Wu's craftsmanship was really good, anyway, this bowl of noodles was indeed the most delicious bowl of noodles Li Tianran had ever eaten in his life.

A

sense of satisfaction that I had never felt before flooded my body, and Li Tianran couldn't control his appetite, as if these foods were the most precious treasures of my destiny. Li Tianran's mouthful after mouthful, gobbling up makes people laugh. And the little swallow on the other side looked at me unhurriedly, observing me with a smile on his face.

Seeing that Li Tianran had almost eaten, Xiao Yanzi said with a smile, I have told you so much, and I haven't asked your name yet.

"In Xia Li Tianran, he is fourteen years old this year, a person from Xianyu Town. Since childhood, he has practiced martial arts and practiced swords, and his kung fu has been taught by a storyteller in the town

Li Tianran said with a firm face

Xiaoyanzi saw his resolute appearance, and laughed inexplicably.

"Silly melon".

"Okay, then I'll call you natural from now on."

"Good".

"I heard that there are people competing over there on the martial arts stage in the city recently, you can go and take a look, those of you who came out to explore the rivers and lakes should be more interested in that."

"Aren't you going to see it together?".

"I can't do it, I still have to help my dad clean up the noodle shop at home, you can go shopping by yourself."

"Oh well".

After eating the noodles, Li Tianran said goodbye to Xiaoyanzi and Uncle Wu, and picked up the wooden sword by himself, and walked in the direction of the martial arts platform pointed by Xiaoyanzi.
