Young man, please stay

Chapter 4 The world is huge
  After Qin Lang finished writing the book, he gave the old man some tips on doing business. After that, the old man's business continued to flourish.

Although the income is only forty or fifty cents a day at most, it is more than enough for the common people on the border.

As for the story of the "Tianshan Immortal" that the old man had been telling before, Qin Lang guessed that it was the senior sister who showed some superb martial arts in Jianping County before going to Tianshan Mountain, so it was spread by rumors.

In addition, as the old man said, although chivalrous people are everywhere in the world today and there are many anecdotes, there are indeed few books that can be used for storytelling, singing and opera.

……

Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the state of Zuo Youyou has focused on military affairs and neglected literature.

Nowadays, although the war in the north has subsided for many years, the trend of advocating literature has gradually emerged, but they are all poems, songs and poems, either for elegant entertainment or as embellished articles.

As for "essays" such as novels and storybooks, although some people like to read them, few people like to write them. After all, they cannot write about glory and wealth.

As a result, the storyteller naturally has less material to talk about.

……

"However, if you have to talk about glory and wealth, it is said that the Holy One... seems to be quite good at it."

"Your Majesty? The current empress?"

"Correct."

The old storyteller is quite well-informed. He is able to find out what is going on in the capital even though he is at the border:

"It is said that on the occasion of His Majesty's birthday last year, Princess Qingli in the capital gave her several exquisite volumes of short story books with paintings. The Holy Lord Longyan was so delighted that she rewarded Princess Qingli with a box of peach cakes on the spot."

"?"

Qin Lang was puzzled when he heard this:

"The emperor's reward is a box of peach cakes?"

"Young hero, you don't know something now."

The old storyteller smiled and opened the folding fan unconsciously:
  "Princess Qingli of the capital is the biological sister of the current emperor."

"elder sister…"

"Yes, the relationship between the two is very good. Some small things like eating and drinking can be regarded as sincere rewards. On the contrary, the emperor and the princess almost share common things such as gold, silver, and silk. What the emperor uses, the county Whatever the Lord uses, there is no reward for it..."

At this point, the old man also lowered his voice:
  "... To be disrespectful, the Emperor has not yet greeted me. Otherwise, I am afraid that even men will have to share with Princess Qingli..."

"It's not that bad..."

Qin Lang felt it was a bit exaggerated:
  "Since the relationship is so good, why didn't the emperor's sister become a prince, but only a princess?"

Regarding this point, the old storyteller waved his hands repeatedly:

"This... involves a fight in the court. It is said that the empress is also out of protection for her sister... Anyway, I am a commoner, so it is not easy to make unreasonable opinions..."

"..."

You have arranged for the two sisters to share a man, but now you don’t dare to argue?
  Qin Lang curled his lips and was too lazy to pay attention to the old storyteller's mysteries.

However, after some small talk, Qin Lang became more yearning for the world outside Jianping County.

……

In the past, Tianshan women often taught Qin Lang: A good man should have the world and his senior sister in mind.

The so-called world is nothing more than rivers, lakes and temples.

In the world today, there are "Three Sects, Six Sects and Twelve Sects" as the mainstays in the world, and in the temples there are "Thousand Hands Running Thunder and Falling Pear Swords" which can shock the world.

On the surface, the two are on equal terms, but in fact they are not absolutely clear-cut. They work together to maintain the order of the world, openly and secretly, for the sake of the world.

And the so-called "carrying the world in mind" may be far away from the rivers and lakes, or high up in the temple, and there are different ways of doing so.

Qin Lang falls into the former category.

He comes from far away from the world. If he wants to have the world in mind like his senior sister said, he must first have the world in mind.

……

"That being the case, when will the young hero plan to go to Jianghu?"

"Just wait another half month..."

At the storytelling stall in the evening, Qin Lang took a sip of slightly cold tea and slowly shook his head:
  "...No, as the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. In the past half month in Jianping County, I can actually be considered to be in the rivers and lakes."

"Hahaha, no, no, no!"    "?"

After hearing what Qin Lang said, the old storyteller suddenly laughed twice, then shook his head:
  "Young hero, please note that the world of martial arts is so vast! The martial arts world is so profound! You are sincere and possess martial arts skills. After all, you are not meant to go to a small world like this."

"..."

--------

The world is so big...

The martial arts world is thick...

At dusk in the west, Qin Lang was sitting cross-legged under an old locust tree on Qingniugang, stroking the "Inner Demon Record" given by his senior sister in his hand, thinking deeply in his heart.

……

Now that Xue Gui is dead, there is only one person left in "Inner Demon Record".

This person was the culprit who seriously injured the senior sister and caused her to live in seclusion in Tianshan to recuperate to this day.

Obviously, like her senior sister, she is also a very, very big master, which is completely different from Xue Gui and others.

There is no doubt that the senior sister hates her. She personally told Qin Lang that when he finds this "big bitch" in the future, he will not only capture her, but also completely wipe out the mountain she created.

……

"Lang'er, when you find her in the future, you must plow her garden and sweep her holes! Send all that big bitch and her gang of little bitches to the sky! Set in bliss! Leave no one behind! Do you understand? !”

"I will obey my master's orders!"

……

Those who plow the courtyard and sweep holes are cutting the grass and removing the roots.

It is evident that the senior sister has a deep hatred for the last person in "Inner Demon Record".

But having said that, not to mention the elusiveness of this person, apart from a name called [Nangong Zhuo], even the senior sister has very few records about him.

The key point is that with Qin Lang's current level of martial arts, which requires him to practice his internal strength from scratch, it is obviously impossible to single-mindedly search for such a big boss in the vast sea of ​​people.

In this way, wandering around the world on his own and honing his body and mind in the world has become Qin Lang's most reasonable choice now.

However, now the storyteller's words have made the young hero feel a little confused and uneasy about the so-called "travelling in the world".

……

As the old man said, Jianping County is just a small river and lake.

Half a month ago, Qin Lang achieved a reputation as a young hero in this small world and killed Xue Gui. Now his body should have been sent to Qingzhou Mansion.

In another half month, the silver reward came down, weapons and horses were purchased, and the sky was high and the birds could fly.

At that time, if Qin Lang continues to stay in this small river and lake, he will ask himself, it will not be in line with his own temperament, and I am afraid he will not be able to live up to the expectations of Senior Sister Tianshan.

So if he leaves Jianping County, where should Qin Lang go?
  Where should he go to experience the so-called vastness of the world and understand the depth of the martial arts world?

……

A prodigal son of this age will always feel confused about the future.

Qin Lang looked at the glow on the horizon and was also a little sentimental.

And just when he was about to close his eyes and continue to meditate for peace of mind, he suddenly saw the distant skyline, and there seemed to be a fleeting silhouette stretched out by the afterglow.

"Drive~! Drive...!"

"?"

Before he could get up and look far away, a white horse walked along the official road from far to near. Within a moment, it stopped in front of Qin Lang amid a burst of dust.

Qin Lang frowned before he could take a closer look. Then, his legs suddenly felt warm and heavy, and then there was a fragrance like orchid and musk on his face. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was a beautiful woman who fell into the arms of a horse without hesitation. The pink shirt was stained with blood, and the bulging skirt was half unraveled. A white cloth was wrapped around the chest inside, and two fat characters were written in block letters:

【Jianghu】

"..."

Things in the world are unpredictable, and the young hero Qin Lang was still sighing at the vastness of the world just now.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, this huge world would come to his door.
