The Lord who use immortals as food

August 16th.

early morning.

When Pei Ye opened his eyes on the bed, he saw the gray old wooden beams erected horizontally and vertically on the roof.

Overly familiar scenes will give people a sense of comfort, as if nothing has happened, and the heavy rain that hit the city just happened yesterday.

But if you think about it carefully, there are indeed too many complicated things crammed into these ten days.

Pei Ye rolled over and got out of bed. No matter how desperate the situation was, it would eventually pass, and when everything returned to peace, the remaining people would still have to continue walking their own paths.

The Golden Autumn Martial Arts Tournament in Bowang Prefecture will begin on the seventh day of September, which is only twenty days away. He has to start preparing for it seriously.

The name of this grand event was actually not unfamiliar to him. On the first day he entered the martial arts gym, he knew from the mouths of the masters that being able to participate in the Zhoucheng "Three Competitions" was the highest honor of the small town martial arts gym.

Since the Shenjing martial arts competition is held in early summer, the Bowang Prefecture Association will hold three martial arts competitions covering the entire state in autumn, winter and spring, and a total of three quotas for Beijing will be determined.

However, although Pei Ye is familiar with the name, he doesn't know much about this event because it has never had anything to do with him.

Of course it does now.

Yesterday, he said hello to Master Huang and agreed to go to the martial arts studio for some advice today, and decided to practice in the martial arts studio these days before setting off.

Master Huang has taught in martial arts schools for more than 20 years and has led more than ten students to participate in three competitions. He is very familiar with this stuff.

After breakfast, he planned to leave the black cat at home to let him practice quietly, but the black cat jumped on his shoulder. So Pei Ye took it with him, picked up his sword, and after thinking about it, he brought up Zhanxin Liuli.

Whenever he has a little time in the past few days, he will pull out the dragon's blood for this sword.

And after the dragon's blood was condensed into Han Feng, the energy contained in it was much richer. It had already grown extremely fast by absorbing the profound energy, and now I take a few "tonics" from time to time, and after a few days, there are two small buds in the Dantian. It has grown stronger, and Pei Ye feels that in just two days, it may turn into two lives.

Pei Ye used the sword case of his sword to put the Zhanxin Liuli on his back, kicked the crooked old courtyard door up and locked it, and strode towards the north of the city.

After turning around a few alleys and entering the main street in the north of the city, the words "Lao Lu Liquor Store" were hung steadily on the street, as if they were not affected by the disaster at all - in fact, as soon as the rain stopped, it reopened immediately. .

Pei Ye opened the curtain. After all, the number of drinkers inside was quite sparse, and the noisy and lively atmosphere of the day was gone.

Familiar figures are still busy at the counter.

Pei Ye walked over and said, "Uncle Lu, get two gourds of wine."

"Hey! Xiao Pei! It's great that you're okay too!" Lu Youcai raised his head. Although his two sharp eyebrows straightened up in an instant, Pei Ye still captured their original appearance of being worried and drooping.

"I'm fine. What's wrong with you, Uncle Lu? Did the rain hurt you?"

"Fortunately, the family is safe." Lu Youcai sighed, "It's just the wine I piled in the yard. Alas, the forty-year-old's few barrels were the last year's stock, and they were all destroyed."

"Ah..." Pei Ye cried out regretfully.

He probably knew that Lu Youcai's family background was not poor, but it was not rich either. He relied on the small wine shop passed down from his father to live steadily. A few days ago, Lao Zhang Liquor Store closed down. It was supposed that the next period of time would be an opportunity for Lao Lu to expand. Unfortunately, all the inventory is now destroyed. Not to mention the expansion, even the capital cannot be recovered.

For the next whole year, Lu Youcai had to find ways to scrape together things to support his family's livelihood, and he also had to borrow money to brew new wine. But just after the disaster, how many people were wealthy?

"No way..." Lu Youcai sighed and stretched out his hand, "Where is the wine gourd?"

"I lost it, bring me two new ones."

"Hey, it seems that life is not tight anymore." Lu Youcai smiled.

"No matter how tight you are, you still have to have fun and drink."

"That makes sense - there are still mourners outside, why did I hurry up and open the shop?" Lu Youcai took out two gourds from under the counter and rinsed them, then turned to pick up the wine and murmured, "Hit me. When I was a kid, I helped run errands in the store, and the neighbors in the north of the city started drinking here. Over the past thirty years, everyone has become accustomed to it."

"So no matter what happens, whether I should open or not, when others see it, they will know that life is still the same, and they will not be so panicked."

Lu Youcai turned his head and put the two filled gourds on the counter, and sighed: "But, it won't be open for a few more days. When these two barrels are sold out, I will find a way to make food."

"It's okay, now is not the time for people to starve to death." Pei Ye comforted, "No matter what happens, I can survive this year. It will be fine when the new wine comes out."

"Yes, that's right." Lu Youcai sighed longly.

"It's fine, Uncle Lu. The whole family is safe! What do you say? Blessings hurt your wealth, but not having them hurts yourself." Pei Ye smiled.

"Damn! You brat!" Lu Youcai scolded with a smile, "You turned back on me!"

"Hehe." Pei Ye counted the money from his pocket, "This time it's eight coins - oh yes, there's also a gourd. How much is the gourd, Uncle Lu?"

"Why, last time it was said that poor people dare not take credit, but now they are all great heroes, and they are still poor?"

"Uncle Lu is poor." Pei Ye smiled. In fact, he had a bright future, but now that Lu Youcai was in trouble, he naturally refused to take advantage of it.

Lu Youcai rolled his eyes: "I'm so poor, your Uncle Lu can't afford you this little thing? Get out of here!"

Pei Ye smiled helplessly, took back the money, picked up the two gourds and said goodbye and went out.

Then we walked all the way through the streets and alleys until we came to Beiqiaotou, which happened to be the boundary eroded by frost. The martial arts school further inside was luckily undisturbed.

Pei Ye came to the gate of the martial arts hall and saw that the door was open. He raised his eyes and saw Master Huang sitting under the eaves, reading two pages of official documents.

"Master Huang!" Pei Ye shouted, "Why is there no one here today?"

"Dads are not worried about the children going out these days. But we have agreed that we will resume tomorrow." Master Huang raised his head and stared at him, then lowered his head and continued to read, "I just ordered the Zhouli from Mr. Chang. The official document of the martial arts competition that was sent out - speaking of it, no one from our martial arts gym has been to it in the past few years."

"Then I can regain my reputation." Pei Ye walked over with a smile and handed a gourd of wine to Master Huang.

"That's true - only wine? How about a couple of side dishes?"

"It's not like we're drinking now. Aren't we going to talk about the Golden Autumn Martial Arts Competition?"

"You won't waste time drinking after talking." Master Huang stood up and ran back to the house. Not long after, he came out with a pot of peanuts.

"I cooked it in the morning." Master Huang put down the official document, peeled two peanuts, poured them into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Let me think about where to start."

Pei Ye sat next to him, opened the sword box, put his hand on the Zhanxin Glaze and began to absorb the dragon's blood.

"Oh! What is this?!" Master Huang's body suddenly fell over.

"Little gadgets. Oh, you tell me first, and I'll show you when I'm done."

"Okay." Master Huang withdrew his wide-eyed eyes and couldn't help but peeked his head in again, "It's so damn interesting..."
