a very dark dark guard

Chapter 76
People at that time regarded the bottle of all things as a holy object and stored it on the island.Every year the heads of the continents gather on that island to commemorate the birth of the world.

However, thousands of years later, the descendants of the ancestors developed a monopoly on the bottle of all things.

The first war broke out in this world, and the result was that the bottle of all things was shattered in the struggle.

No matter how difficult it is to restore a broken bottle, human beings still have the desire to compete. Even if it is a broken bottle, they still want to grab it.

It's just that they didn't expect that the broken bottle of everything would automatically glue together, change its shape, and become the square mirror in my pocket.

People of that generation still regard it as a renewable treasure, and it has spent time on every continent.

Then people discovered that wherever it went, disasters would occur, and none of the six continents could be spared.

So the leaders of the six parties discussed again and suppressed it in Yaoyue Xianshan.

Without the chaos caused by the square mirror, the struggle of human beings still continues. The continent named Pingqi also experienced division and reunion to form today's situation of four countries each occupying one side.

Right now the evil thing is in my pocket, let alone whether the world is chaotic or not, I am worried that it will have a bad effect on the four of us.

But thinking about Boss Yue, he has been guarding the square mirror for some time, and nothing bad seems to happen.

I decided to keep this matter from Manager Zhang and the others first, but fortunately Yue Nanxiang was distracted by other things, so she didn't mention the thing she gave me again.

She found that there was a small garden outside the inn, with green vegetables in it, surrounded by a fence, and beautiful flowers growing outside the fence.

Now she is completely childlike, and she has forgotten all the knowledge and common sense of adults.

Manager Zhang patiently accompanied her and explained to her what the vegetables in the garden were called.

He found a bag of sweet potatoes in the kitchen, picked a few and put them in the hearth to roast. When they came back from the small vegetable garden, the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes came out.

The inn has six bedrooms, one for the owner, one for the clerk, and the other four are guest rooms.

Manager Zhang asked me to live in the boss's room, and he lived in the guy's room. Yunzhou still lives with me habitually, and he doesn't enter any extra rooms. He stays in the room where my luggage is. .

Manager Zhang didn't fully understand the relationship between me and Yunzhou, so seeing Yunzhou running into my room so naturally, he thought we were a real couple.

And he didn't know that Yunzhou ran into the house, so he lay down on the only bed in big characters, leaving no room for me.

Because he acquiesces that I don't sleep on the bed, the bed belongs to him alone.

It was very hard to climb mountains and ridges for many days. We had just settled down, and we did nothing else. We rested early after eating, and quickly replenished our energy and sleep.

They couldn't sleep well in the mountains, especially Yue Nanxiang, who would wake up whenever an animal made strange noises.

It was hard to find a place where I could temporarily shelter, and catching up on sleep was the most important thing.

As soon as it was dark, they fell asleep, and I was still sitting and practicing. The mountains and forests were silent, and occasionally there were birds and insects, all of which were the sounds of nature.

The three of them slept until the sun was up, and I went to the kitchen to cook at noon.

Yue Nanxiang's physical and mental strength recovered, and her curiosity revived. She dragged Manager Zhang and asked, what is the big inn like?Is Shuangye Lake fun?Can she go and see?
Boss Yue talked a lot about Shuangye Lake, which aroused her curiosity.

That place was originally a tourist attraction, and a large 'hotel' with [-] rooms was built. In this era, it is a proper five-star high-end hotel.

It may not be seen in other countries, and Qunfang Pavilion does not have so many rooms.

Not only she was curious, but I was also curious. The route I chose was relatively biased. This official road from Yuancheng to Jiushuang Kingdom can only be regarded as a 'three-category' official road.

Assuming that there are hundreds of merchants in the first-class official way every day, there are only 80 people in the second-class official way.

By analogy, the number of the three types of official merchants is only about 60.

It is not possible to maintain this number every day. In addition, it is necessary to exclude those who do not stay in the hotel or stay overnight.

At least halve it, the road was not easy to travel in the past, and the number of customers coming and going needs to be halved again, so Boss Yue’s small shop only has four rooms, which is just right according to the previous passenger flow.

Even if new roads are built, the demand for pedestrians staying in shops will not be able to meet a hundred people per day.

It is true that Shuangye Lake is a scenic spot on several nearby hills, but most of the people who visited in the past were locals from the town and the village. They went there in the morning and returned in the evening, and there was no need to stay in a hotel.

What's more, the accommodation fee at Shuangye Inn is not low, and the locals are reluctant to waste that money.

In order to satisfy Yue Nanxiang's curiosity, Manager Zhang decided to take her there to see the world.

I said it's okay to meet the world, don't reveal our identities.

Director Zhang told me to rest assured that he and Yue Nanxiang would go out in disguise.

The last time he went to town, he had purchased props for disguise.

The two of them dressed up in the house for a long time, and I really didn't recognize them when they came out.

Mr. Zhang dressed up as a gray-haired old lady with a walking stick and a stooped waist. She had powdered her face, painted her eyebrows, and painted her lips with lip balm.

There is also a gorgeous red crabapple flower in her ear.

Yue Nanxiang changed into boy's clothes, braided into the sky, and dressed up as a 'little rascal'.

To this end she made a sacrifice and cut her hair quite a bit shorter.

She didn't feel distressed at all, and thought it was very interesting, the old and the young walked out of the shop together.

Manager Zhang was also carrying a rag bag, and two pedestrians pretending to be on their way.

Yun Zhou seemed to find their appearance amusing, pointing at them, and then at himself, spitting words out of his mouth: Go, go!

"You can't go, your features are too obvious to pretend to be." A normal person can pretend to be a fool, but a fool can't pretend to be a normal person. If he goes, if he meets someone who is chasing us, he will be recognized immediately.

There is one thing that is best about Yunzhou. If he is not asked to do something, he will not be disappointed. If he can't do this thing, he will still be happy if he changes it.

I didn't let him go to Shuangye Lake, so he went to the small vegetable garden to observe the butterflies. The flowers around the small vegetable garden are especially attractive to butterflies, and there are always a few colorful butterflies flying around them.

Since they are travelers disguised as lodgings, Manager Zhang and the others will definitely not come back tonight.

I prepare food and drink for Yunzhou, and hurry up to practice.

In the future, life will be difficult for the whole world. Gold and silver are external objects, and only martial arts and supernatural abilities are the basis for survival.

I practiced quickly while no one was disturbing me. After a round of practice, I adjusted my breath and took a rest. Looking out the window, I saw Yun Zhou sitting in front of the flowers, eating the rice cracker candy made by Mr. Zhang.

The calm in front of me may not last long, I looked at the distant mountains and began to organize my thoughts.

The original boss once predicted that the situation of "four points" in Pingqi mainland might change.

She is also happy to have changes, so arrange the layout to speed up the change.

How to make a temporarily stable situation chaotic?
Naturally, it was to start a war. There were people from her in the four countries, and they were placed in different positions.

Yuanshen only does what the boss ordered her to do, and doesn't ask or care about the rest.

She didn't know how many hidden stakes the boss had and who they were.

But she knew where to mess up, where to start.

That's why I want to find out what's going on today, so I can see where her plans are going.

But too many things have happened recently that are not in her plan.

It's just that the results are similar, such as the destruction of Yuancheng.

If the Four Kingdoms want to be in chaos, it is impossible for Yuancheng to remain in chaos.

Yuancheng is in the center of the four countries, and it should not be inclined to any country.

But the Lu family suddenly got married with Jiushuang Country, no matter how harmonious it looked on the surface, how many people came to congratulate them, and how supported the other three countries were.

There are definitely more opponents secretly than supporters, that's for sure.

Supporting or opposing the marriage between the Lu family and Jiushuang Kingdom is the same for the original boss. As long as it can mess up Yuancheng, she can join either side.

So I'm not sure if she participated in the bloodbath of the Lu family and the catastrophe in Yuancheng.

Her goal must have been achieved, at least the step to Yuancheng was the situation she hoped to see.

Starting from Yuancheng, the four kingdoms fought together, and the world fell into chaos again. The final victor will become the sole ruler of Pingqi Continent.

The most special thing about the original boss is that she doesn't want to be the last winner.

She doesn't care who gets the last laugh, she just wants to see her plans come true one by one.

Like a chess player, manipulating the whole game of chess.

She had bet on many people, including Luo Xiuran.

Tengxue Country in the north is the most difficult country to conquer due to its terrain.

As early as the era of the bottle of all things, no one lived in the north.

No matter how people fight at that time, they will not climb over the mountains and go to the snow-covered forest area in the north.

The arrival of a big ship changed everything.

Visitors from overseas have fled, and they are still carrying deadly infectious diseases.

They crossed the ocean and came to Pingqi Continent. Of the 1000 passengers on board, only [-] remained when they landed.

Residents along the coast did not dare to take them in, so they walked all the way inland.

No one dared to stay where they passed, and people avoided them like the plague.

They really had nowhere to go, so they could only climb over the mountains and move to the north.

At that time, there was no way to go north. The first third of the road was considered good, but the last two thirds of the road were not only steep and difficult, but also icy and snowy.

When the team of 1000 people reached the northern snowy plain, there were no more than a hundred people.

They lived in caves and ate wild game. They thought they would die the rest of their lives, but they never thought that drinking the spring water in the cave would cure them of their illnesses.

They settled down in the north, and the population increased and a thousand years later they formed a big country, which is the current Tengxue Country.

Taking advantage of the terrain, they have never had a large-scale war with the other three countries for thousands of years.

There must be some undercover exchanges, and it is normal to do some small tricks secretly.

But to destroy the Tengxue Country, 'skills' are needed.

It is precisely because I know that it is difficult to break out a large-scale war in the north that I want to settle in the north when I first arrived here.

If the north is not safe, there will be no place in Shikoku where people can live in peace.

We can only consider finding a small island overseas for development...

But before that, I have to get the square mirror done.

Searching through the original body's memory, I couldn't find a way to seal the square mirror.

The myths and legends have mentioned it briefly, without explaining it in detail.

It seems that if you want to know how to suppress it, you can only go to Yaoyuetai and ask the guards of the forbidden area.

The Square Mirror is sealed in Yaoyue Immortal Mountain, so it is impossible not to send people to guard it to prevent anyone from approaching or breaking the seal.

I don't believe that Liu Yanyan's getting the mirror is as easy as getting the free sample biscuits.

But if I go to Yaoyuetai, I have to go alone, where 'men stop'.

"Ma'am!" Yun Zhou called me suddenly, and I came back from Piao Yuan's thoughts and looked at him.

He shook the empty snack bag, the meaning was very obvious.

"Don't eat too much sugar, I'll bake you potatoes." He ate a whole bag of rice cracker candy, and I'm afraid he'll get diabetes if he eats it again.

I peeled the potatoes, washed them, sliced ​​them, baked them, sprinkled them with salt and pepper, and put them in a basin to cool.

Wait until it's hot enough to give it to Yun Zhou, and he runs out again with the basin in hand to watch the bees and butterflies in the small vegetable garden.

After dinner, I didn't let him go out. He played jigsaw puzzles in the house, and went to bed by himself when he was sleepy.

I focused on practicing until late at night. I felt something was wrong while I was practicing, so I hurriedly checked my small bag. The leather and leather straps were still there, but the mirror was gone!
Just now, I just felt a gust of 'Qi' drill into my heart, blocking the position of Tanzhong acupoint.

I can't say it's uncomfortable, but I can feel a wave of "Qi" from outside gathering there.

At the same time, I feel that the small bag I carry is light. The square mirror looks like copper but not copper, like stone but not stone. The material is strange and heavy.

It fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, but it weighs six catties.

With such a heavy mirror, the sudden disappearance of my feeling is obvious.

I carried it with me all the time, not daring to let it out of my sight.

Now it suddenly disappeared, and my mind is ignorant. This is not an ordinary thing. It is transformed from the creation of this world, the sacred object of the world. It is itself a mystery.

Could it be that he was scared away when he sensed that I was going to send it back to Yaoyuetai to seal it?

Then what is the foreign air mass entrenched in my chest?
Does it give my sweet feet before leaving?

I couldn't think of a clue, so I calmed down and continued to practice.

I found that the air mass in my chest had no effect on my practice, it was just stuck there, doing nothing, like an ornament.

The square mirror is gone, now I don't have to worry about it being discovered by others.

The label written by Mr. Yue has been burned by me, and I also burned the leather covering the mirror and the rope outside the house.

Now the only people who know that the mirror is here are the mirror thief, me and Boss Yue.

Boss Yue probably didn't know it was a square mirror, and he might not have even opened the leather bag.

Because it doesn't say what it is on the label.

In this way, the only ones who know the truth are me and the dead Mirror Thief.

Thinking about this level clearly, I felt relieved. Seeing that it was almost dawn, I finished burning the 'evidence' and went straight to the kitchen to start a fire and cook.

Manager Zhang and Yue Nanxiang came back at noon.

Yue Nanxiang ran into the door first, shouting that Shuangye Lake is fun, the scenery there is as beautiful as a picture scroll, and there are delicious lake fish and lake shrimp.

Manager Zhang greeted me and went back to the house to take off his makeup.

Wait for him to freshen up and change back to his usual clothes before coming out to talk to me.

"Shuangye Inn, how about it?" I made a pun, I believe he can understand.

Manager Zhang poured a cup of tea at the counter, drank a couple of sips, and replied:

"It's not easy."

One of the four major martial arts families, the inn opened by the Han family is naturally not simple.

When the Yin family came to Yuancheng, they did not participate in the martial arts conference or the Lu family's banquet. Their attitude was unpredictable.

The members of the Han family didn't show up at all, but the other two families sent congratulatory gifts.
