Galloping in the fantasy world

Yangzhou City has been a prosperous resort since ancient times. In the Tang Dynasty, Du Mu once wrote a poem: "I have dreamed of Yangzhou for ten years and won the reputation of a brothel."

The ancients said that the greatest joy in life is "to be strapped with a hundred thousand guan, and to fly to Yangzhou astride a crane."

Since Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug the canal, and later generations dug it to Hangzhou, Yangzhou is located in the canal. It is the place where water transportation from Jiangsu and Zhejiang must pass, and it is also the lifeblood of the imperial court.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was also inhabited by salt merchants, and the Yin Dynasty was the richest in the world.

In the early years of Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, Mingyufang by the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou was a gathering place for famous prostitutes.

It was the late spring weather, and the lanterns were first lit. From the courtyards of Mingyufang, there was a sound of silk and bamboo and the sound of laughter. In the middle, there were guessing orders, singing and drinking, and music and music everywhere, creating a scene of peace.

Nangong Aotian changed into the clothes of the ancients, still wearing short clothes, still carrying the big package, and walking alone on the streets of Yangzhou City.

Suddenly, in an alley, there was the sound of beatings and scoldings.

"You brat, I'm calling you out!"

"If you dare to come here again, I will fight you every time you see me!"

"I have to beat you to death today!"

Nangong Aotian looked around and saw several adults, punching and kicking a child who looked to be only about thirteen years old. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he stopped him and said, "Stop quickly, several adults are bullying a child.

What the hell!”

The strong men looked back and yelled: "Where did you come from, that stinky monk? He's meddling in our gambling house."

Nangong Aotian wondered in his heart, 'How come people in ancient times had such bad eyesight?' He said: "Stop talking nonsense and let go of that child. No matter what you say, he is just a child."

"Mom, spicy piece, stop talking nonsense, it's none of your business, get out of here."

"You are toasting and not eating, but you are punished by drinking wine."

"Oh, the smelly monk is so tough, brother, beat him up!"

Nangong Aotian mourned for them in his heart, he really didn't know how to die.

After a few ping-pong-pong bangs, several strong men staggered down in the alley, each covering his own different parts and moaning incessantly.

Nangong Aotian helped the child up and said, "Little brother, how are you, are you okay?"

The child stood up and muttered dirty words such as 'spicy mother', 'thief bastard', 'stinking turtle' and the like.

Nangong Aotian thought to himself, this child's tutor is really amazing and asked again, "Kid, seeing as you are so energetic, it means everything is fine."

Only then did the child react and hurriedly thanked him: "Big brother, thank you for saving me. I will definitely repay you in the future."

"Your name is Xiaobao?" Nangong Aotian thought, it can't be such a coincidence.

"Brother, do you know me? You didn't expect that I, Wei Xiaobao, am so famous?"

Looking at Wei Xiaobao who was a little immersed in his own imagination, the two of them walked and chatted.

Nangong Aotian smiled and said: "You call me big brother, how old are you this year?"

"Ah? I don't remember. I was twelve or thirteen. But brother, you look so young. You're not much older than me."

Nangong Aotian was very happy and said: "You are good at talking. I am thirty-six years old this year. You didn't call me uncle, but called me eldest brother. I want to thank you. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet.

My name is Nangong Aotian."

Wei Xiaobao looked in disbelief and said in surprise: "Brother Nangong, you are so old that you can't see anything at all. How did you do it? Oh, if I have this secret recipe, I will open a Lixia Courtyard opposite Lichun Courtyard in the future.

, Liqiu Courtyard, Lidong Courtyard, the girls there all want to stay young forever like Brother Nangong, and not rob all the business of Lichun Courtyard."

Thinking of this, Wei Xiaobao burst out laughing again. But for a moment, he pulled at the wound again, pulled at his mouth again, and inhaled hissingly.

Nangong Aotian didn't feel dissatisfied and said with a smile: "I don't know why, maybe it's because I have practiced advanced martial arts."

Nangong Aotian really doesn't know why he has the same face for more than ten years. He guesses that it may not be because of the Divine Illumination Sutra, but it may have something to do with his body. After all, this is a person who never gets sick or gets injured.

A magical body that heals quickly.

Wei Xiaobao said: "Martial arts? It's a pity that I don't know how to do it. Is it difficult?"

"Practicing martial arts requires perseverance and accumulation over time. It may not be difficult, but it may not be difficult but it is difficult. The most important thing is persistence and being able to endure hardships and stand hard work. Do you want to learn?"

When Wei Xiaobao heard that he wanted to persevere, it had nothing to do with him. He had always been distracted. If he was asked to insist on doing something and endure hardship, it would definitely not work. He shook his head hurriedly and said: "That's fine.

Already."

Nangong Aotian smiled and said: "I'm hungry, are you hungry? Do you know where the food is delicious nearby?"

Nangong Aotian knew that although Wei Xiaobao was young, he had serious thoughts, so he first said that he was hungry.

Wei Xiaobao was actually starving for a long time, but he had no money in his hand. When he heard Nangong Aotian said that he was looking for a place to eat, he immediately pulled Nangong Aotian away.

The two came to a restaurant. The bartender saw Wei Xiaobao's slovenly appearance and wanted to chase him away. However, he saw Nangong Aotian, a man with a strange hairstyle. Although he was not dressed in rich clothes, his expression was very ordinary, so he did not dare to stop him.

.

The bartender took the two of them up to the seating area on the second floor. Wei Xiaobao ordered a lot of things, and the two of them ate and stuffed themselves.

"Xiaobao, those people beat you today and said they were 'out of money'. Why do you still like to gamble?"

"Brother Nangong, in fact, they wronged me because they saw that I had no money and wanted to drive me away." Wei Xiaobao said in a squeaky voice, not wanting to lose face in front of this eldest brother whom he had just met.

In fact, Nangong Aotian didn't care whether he was cheating or not, and continued to ask: "Do you want to take revenge?"

"Ah? Of course I have thought about this, but" of course Wei Xiaobao has thought about it, but unfortunately he can't fight, his gambling skills are too bad, and he has no gambling capital. Revenge is not easy.

"Do you have any dice on you?"

Nangong Aotian finally handed Wei Xiaobao the dice, bumped it, and said, "It's filled with lead."

As he said this, he glanced at Wei Xiaobao, who looked embarrassed and thought to himself, "It seems that this elder brother is also of the same kind."

Nangong Aotian casually threw it into an empty bowl, and the three dice spun around a few times, only to see that they all stopped at the number '6'.

Wei Xiaobao shouted "Leopard!"

Nangong Aotian threw again, another three sixes, and another leopard. Nangong Aotian threw several times in succession, all with the same number, which shocked Wei Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao said with great joy: "Brother Nangong, you are really a master! With this skill, you can do anything in the world."

Nangong Aotian was amused in his heart, "I can win all over the world because of my martial arts skills, not my gambling skills." He said: "Even if it is an untampered dice, I can play it with ease, and I can get whatever number I want."

What points? But if you want to sweep that gambling house, this move alone is not enough. I will let you see it when the time comes."

Wei Xiaobao couldn't wait and said: "Brother, let's go quickly."

"are you full?"

"I've been full for a long time, let's go quickly." He said, pulling Nangong Aotian to check out and walk out.
