Nangong Xiaoxiang couldn't let down two men at the same time, and she couldn't marry into the prince's manor. If she did, she would be trapped there. Nangong Xiaoxiang was still suitable to roam the world, search for immortals, and cultivate mystic qi. She was a beautiful and unrestrained woman.
Therefore, she could only choose to escape, escape from her original life, and go to a place where no one knew her. After making a group of like-minded friends, they would never interact with each other again. In the end, she might marry a mountain villager and give birth to a silly son who was still in his teens.
Such a life was interesting just thinking about it!
Nangong Xiaoxiang sought novelty, but she did not like stability. This was his personality. A wandering heart was like a wild horse that had lost its reins.
No matter how big the grassland was, it would be eaten up by her.
Therefore, she had to disguise herself because this stunning appearance was too troublesome. He was also very handsome when he disguised as a man previously!
Thus, Nangong Xiaoxiang changed into a man's outfit and rushed to the border of the Chu Country.
She never brought money or food with her. Wandering was not a journey. What he wanted was this kind of situation where there was no way forward and no way out.
She had heard that the neighboring country, Liushang Country, was a place where rivers flowed into the sea. There were many strange people there, so she planned to go there.
The moment he stepped into Liu Yun Kingdom's territory, he had gained a lot of knowledge. The streets and markets here were very different from Tianchu. As the saying goes, ten miles are different, let alone the difference of a country.
Nangong Xiaoxiang traveled around. It was getting late, so she was ready to find an inn to stay in. However, she did not have any silver on her, so she asked the waiter if he could work to repay her.
"If you work in the shop, where can I go? The shop was now filled with radishes and pits. There was no free time.”the waiter said.
"Then I can't really cover the sky and the ground.”Although it was ideal, it was raining outside.
"It's easy if you want a roof to cover your body. Mountain God Temple, Earth Temple, this temple, that temple, he could live anywhere. Not only could he chat with the Flower Grandpas, but he could also live next door to the immortals!”
"Your words are very interesting. Why do you call this beggar grandfather?”
"You're a foreigner, right? They were a bunch of Iron Beggar Flowers from all over the world, also known as Martial Beggar Flowers. They were all from the same generation! They were all brave and full of loyalty. If you come to me to ask for it, you won't be afraid of meat or vegetables. You can still accept the money. Before leaving, our shopkeeper still had to send them off with cupped hands!”
"This is really a strange story in the world! I really want to go and take a look."
"Knowledge is knowledge, but you have to be polite. I see that Young Master is handsome and talented. Although those beggar grandpas are all heroes, they are all rough people. I'm afraid you'll be bullied by them."
"Bullies will always be bullied by others. How they bullied me, I'll return it back to them double.”
"I think Young Master looks like a person in the martial arts world who is in trouble. Meals cost money, so did lodging. In this Drifting Goblet Country, it was very easy for people in the martial world to earn some money. Young Master, come to my shop tomorrow. I will show you the way.”
The waiter knew what to do. He even lent Nangong Xiaoxiang an umbrella to keep out the rain.
Thus, Nangong Xiaoxiang went to the temple to borrow the money. Liushang Country had many rains, temples, and beggars, but it did not reduce its prosperity.
Even if it was a temple, there were differences and grades. This had something to do with people's beliefs. And the most popular incense here was the City God Temple. This was because in ancient legends, the City God was the most down-to-earth immortal. In ancient times, it was said that when one fell to the ground, he would be tested by the City God and become an official in the netherworld.
Since the incense offerings were good, the standards were naturally high. There were usually temple attendants, who were also administrators.
However, there was nothing in this room. However, the house and courtyard were all very clean. At first, Nangong Xiaoxiang thought that living in a lousy temple fair was miserable, but now it seemed that she could make do with it.
There was also a small stove and a soft couch in the room. He could start a fire and roast meat here.
Nangong Xiaoxiang only brought a few Hu biscuits and a pot of fine wine from home. In the Seventh Prince's residence, he found Beiming Junye's secret dried meat. This was his family's military rations. In the years of long-distance marching, this thing could not only preserve fruits, but also save lives.
The meat jerky was very hard, and most people would bite it raw to make it look more wild. However, when it was roasted over the fire, the oil immediately seeped out and the fragrance spread. Nangong Xiaoxiang took a small bite. Mmm, delicious! The taste was soft, delicate, and strong. He had a mouthful of Nangong Family's Hu Pancake and a mouthful of high-quality apricot wine.
There was an infinite aftertaste between his lips and teeth. And lie on the couch listening to the rain beating against the window. This was the sound of the martial world, so free and carefree.
"Who has the guts to roast something here in the middle of the night!”
Someone suddenly spoke, but Nangong Xiaoxiang saw that there was no one around. Could it be that the City God had really shown his power?
"If you like this too, you can come out and share the food. I've never seen a village immortal before!”Nangong Xiaoxiang wasn't afraid. Instead, she was excited. Indeed, he had never seen a village immortal, let alone a great immortal in the sky. What did immortals look like?
No one answered. Nangong Xiaoxiang looked around and thought it was an illusion. He turned around.
Suddenly, his face was upside down, almost touching Nangong Xiaoxiang's face.
Nangong Xiaoxiang was shocked and took a few steps back. He realized that it was a person, and his feet were hooked onto the beam. He stared at Nangong Xiaoxiang.
There were many people sleeping on the beam. They were all using the beam as a bed, hugging their knees and looking at Nangong Xiaoxiang.
The person in front of him had a long beard. When he was hanging upside down, his beard covered his nose and eyes. Therefore, when he spoke, his beard moved as if he was blowing through a curtain. It was very interesting. "I'm not a city god, nor am I an immortal, but I won't allow you to be rash here!”
Nangong Xiaoxiang couldn't help but laugh when she saw him like that.
"How dare you!" The man flipped over and got off the beam. The others also came down. When they jumped down, their toes touched the ground without making a sound.
They were all experts, and their lightness skills were not bad.
There were eight of them. There was also one who went to the toilet at night. When he came back and saw this lineup, he immediately tied his belt and joined the confrontation.
They indeed looked like a group of beggars. Even the experts were beggars and dressed in all kinds of clothes. Nangong Xiaoxiang had a keen sense of smell. Apart from the smell of sweat that was unique to beggars, there was also a trace of a strange fragrance. Is it popular to bribe beggars now?
"Eating a meal in the temple is called being rash? Who are you to be so nosy?”Nangong Xiaoxiang was not afraid of him. Nangong Xiaoxiang wasn't scared by their numbers, looks, and shouts.
"We are the Iron Flower Sect, and this is our Iron Flower Sect's Shing Wong branch. This is our Chief, Father Beard!”A flower said.
"So you're from Beggar's Sect. Sorry for being disrespectful!”Nangong Xiaoxiang guessed that it was probably Beggar's Sect. What Iron Flower Guild? It should be another way of saying it. Beggar's Sect was indeed powerful. Ordinary people could not afford to be punished. However, it was different from them. Beggar's Sect did not force people to give alms to them. This was the rule.
However, these people were obviously here for the wine and meat that Nangong Xiaoxiang brought.
However, once Nangong Xiaoxiang joined Beggar's Sect, they were immediately enraged.""Don't compare us to Beggar's Sect! The more idiots in Beggar's Sect, the better, but we are the elites. Our branch has dozens of people at most and seven or eight at least.”
"It's just a small sect that hasn't formed its momentum yet!”Nangong Xiaoxiang mocked.
This would arouse the anger of the crowd. Even if it was the truth, it should not be said so directly. A newbie came to stay for the night, yet she was teasing the host.
The group of people almost made a move, but they were stopped by the bearded man."Don't make a scene. We're talking about the rules! There had to be a reason for the fight. This time, the reason was that he ate privately at night.”
"I have to ask. What does eating offend you?”Nangong Xiaoxiang was even more baffled.
"Do you know the rule of martial artists not eating after noon?”
"I know. It's to maintain my body shape. But I won't get fat no matter how much I eat." Nangong Xiaoxiang was very proud of her talent.
This was also very hateful. Suddenly, they heard the sound of everyone's stomachs rumbling.
"Of course you aren't afraid. You don't look like a martial arts practitioner. This thin arm and thin leg, without the strength to tie up a chicken, looked more like a lady.”The bearded man also laughed at his small stature.
Looking at this temple, each and every one of them was a rough and burly man. Nangong Xiaoxiang was a girl, so she looked even smaller in front of them.
"What's the use of being big? I saw the Japanese artist performing in the street, playing sumo. That piece was even bigger, and he had to eat a basin of rice for each meal! If they draw a circle with me, I guarantee that they won't even be able to touch me.”Nangong Xiaoxiang was very confident in her lightness technique.
Who knew that the bearded man would suddenly pull out a saber from his waist and wrap it around Nangong Xiaoxiang's head. The speed of his saber technique was so fast that it was airtight. Nangong Xiaoxiang was not affected at all.
"I have no interest in your hair. If my hand shakes, this head will immediately fall to the ground.”Big Beardy said.
"Beard Father, good saber technique!" His subordinates also shouted.
It was indeed a good saber technique. Nangong Xiaoxiang had not seen many experts with such profound saber techniques. At this moment, the saber was hanging by Nangong Xiaoxiang's neck. Nangong Xiaoxiang was already in the frame of the so-called four gates. At this moment, no matter how he fled, the bearded man could immediately raise his hand and slash down.
"Is it really worth it to use weapons for a bite?”Nangong Xiaoxiang said.
"Not for food, but to break the rules. There were rules in the temple. One had to respect the gods first, and then the host of the temple. Only then can you enjoy it yourself."
"In the end, isn't it because you want to eat it too? People in the martial arts world made it so complicated to eat something.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:43AM
