People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 830: There has never been any hero, or rather everyone is a hero

Lao Li's abnormality did not cause Master Shen to think too much.

Shangshu is a place with many mountains and rivers. Except for boatmen like them who make a living on the river all year round, ordinary people would inevitably feel tired after experiencing the bumps on the boat.

The lone boat went upstream, and Master Shen slowed down the rowing speed, trying to make the boat more stable.

Lao Li closed the box, turned his head and glanced at the surrounding scenery in silence.

Not to mention the solitary peak he saw in his illusion, even a similar mountain was something that Lao Li had never seen.

Just when Lao Li was about to give up, he suddenly heard a muffled thunder rolling in from a distant place.

Even though he was far away from the place where the thunder originated, Lao Li could still feel the terrifying power contained in the thunder.

"Is it going to rain?" Lao Li said half-jokingly.

"I'm afraid these are not people and things that you and I can come into contact with." Master Shen said lightly.

Lao Li shrugged and did not continue to discuss the thunder, but his eyes were still uncontrollably looking in the direction where the thunder came from.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and he was destined to be unable to see the truth through the clouds. Instead, he noticed a stone tablet standing outside the gorge.

"Liuyang Gorge?" Lao Li said softly.

Master Shen rowed the boat and said without turning his head:

"Shangshu has three mountains and seventeen peaks. Liuyang Gorge is one of the entrances to one of the peaks. There is a legend about it."

"Master Shen, could you please tell me about it?" Lao Li was interested.

Master Shen did not shirk his responsibilities and said slowly:

"It is said that this mountain gorge was originally nameless. Later, because of its steep terrain, it was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and was occupied by a group of pirates. They robbed the people nearby. The officials sent troops to encircle and suppress the gorge several times but failed to break through.

Just as the people were complaining, a lay Buddhist who called himself Liuyang came here and learned about this incident while resting in a nearby tavern.

Master Shen paused for a moment, pushed aside the floating water plants in front of the boat, and then continued:

"The chivalrous spirit in Liuyang's heart made him unable to sit idly by, so he asked the waiter to warm up a pot of sake for him, then he stepped onto the river and went into the gorge alone.

From then on, there was one less group of pirates in the world and one more Liuyang Gorge.

It’s a pity that… the monk didn’t get to drink the sake in the end.”

Lao Li was originally listening with great interest, but when he heard the end of the story, his eyes darkened:

"That layman..."

"Ha, don't get me wrong."

Master Shen smiled and turned around: "It's just that the officials came immediately after learning about this matter to deal with the aftermath of the water bandits, and invited you to the government office to take notes.

When the layman returned to the tavern with the reward, it was already late, and the waiter had already given the pot of sake to other guests in order to avoid wasting it.

Lao Li: "...How did a chivalrous legend suddenly turn into a realistic comedy?"

Master Shen was amused and burst into laughter.

He knocked on the side of the boat with his oar, scaring away a few water birds that were blocking the way ahead, and said with emotion:

"In this so-called Jianghu, there are not so many chivalrous warriors who come and go like the wind. In fact, they are just ordinary people like you and me, struggling for the daily necessities of life."

"really."

Lao Li played with the box in his hand and joked, "It is said that Qi Yan, who made a lot of noise some time ago, once revealed in Longmen that he had never drunk tea that cost more than ten yuan."

"what?"

Master Shen made a voice that perfectly matched his Liberian race.

"It's just an anecdote, it's hard to tell whether it's true or false." Old Li laughed.

"That makes sense. For a being of that level, money and vulgar things are probably no longer worthy of attention."

Master Shen didn't think too much about it and rowed the boat towards a nearby pier.

"Mr. Li, we've arrived."

Master Shen tied the boat to the dock, stepped off the boat first, and said, "You are new here, I will help you choose a good place to stay, so that you can have a good impression of Shang Shu."

Lao Li followed behind him and said:

"Master Lao Shen is over there."

……

……

"Phew, I'm so tired!"

Qi Yan panted as he walked to the resting platform on the mountainside, and sat down on a stone bench by the roadside: "This damn place is really better seeing than hearing. I was full of expectations before I came here, but when I really walked on this mountain road, I didn't have any good impression at all.

Uncle Taihe, you have a lot of Tianshi Mansions, so ask those civil engineers to build some elevators on this hillside!"

Taihe looked at Qi Yan who was breathing heavily, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

Look how realistic it is!

The panting, the heartbeat, the sweat soaking the clothes, and the slightly trembling calves, are exactly like a real weakling!

Taihe totally couldn't understand why a strong man like Qi Yan would always act weak on a daily basis.

Maybe this is the quirk of the strong.

Taihe shook his head secretly, muttering in his heart, but still answered respectfully:

“There are indeed many Tianshi academies in Dayan, and according to the application direction of source stone skills, they have differentiated various majors to ensure that every Tianshi can find stable employment after graduation.

Therefore, the elevator you mentioned is not under the jurisdiction of the civil engineering master, you should go to the mechanical master."

"Then go find it." Qi Yan urged.

"No money." Taihe answered seriously.

"No, we, the great country of Dayan, don't even have the money to build an elevator?" Qi Yan couldn't believe it.

Taihe shook his head repeatedly: "Yan Country is not short of money, but it is short of people who work in machinery!"

Qi Yan: "..."

Why are the mechanical guys so miserable when they come to the land of Terra?

After observing a 0.3 second moment of silence for the mechanical brothers in his heart, Qi Yan stood up, walked to the edge of the mountain road and looked into the distance.

The cool mountain breeze blew on Qi Yan's face.

A magnificent city built on the mountain came into his sight.

Tall buildings are scattered among the low and uneven mountains. They seem messy, but in fact they are not neat at all. There is a unique beauty that gives people a feeling that the first floor of my house is the eighteenth floor of your house.

Taihe stood beside Qi Yan and said with some pride:

“The scenery is endless, and listening to the snow in early spring has a unique charm.

This is Shangshu of my Great Yan. It stands to reason that it is not conducive to building a mobile city in such mountains, but some civil engineers miss their hometown so much that they have worked hard and successfully completed the construction of Shangshu after years of struggle!"

"Sparrows eat cow spleen."

Qi Yan praised from the bottom of his heart.

Taihe was stunned.

For some reason, when he suddenly heard Qi Yan's sincere words, he felt like bugs were crawling all over his body.

He looked at Qi Yan in a daze, blinking his eyes continuously.

I'm ready to be led astray by you in just a few words, why don't you play by the rules?

Qi Yan:?

He suddenly felt that the way Taihe looked at him was a little abnormal.

That was clearly a look that was waiting to be insulted by oneself!

Qi Yan felt a chill and quickly hid behind his sister.

When Taihe saw Qi Yan avoiding him, he felt empty in his heart.

"Okay, stop making trouble."

In the end, Chen stepped forward to take charge of the situation: "After crossing this mountain, we will officially enter the territory of Shangshu.

Qi Yan, don't complain here. We could have gone by water, but you insisted that you had to experience mountain climbing when you came to Shangshu. Now you are suffering the consequences. "

"We can't take the water route. My sister hates the feeling of being wet."

Qi Yan rested his chin on his sister's head, with his cheek sandwiched between Qi Lin's two wolf ears.

Qi Lin was startled, his furry wolf ears flicked unconsciously twice, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised one pixel.

Qi Yan felt his sister's soft wolf ears brushing across his cheek, and he bit them reflexively, then successfully received a whip kick on his calf.

Chen looked at the fight between the brother and sister and said helplessly:

"You don't swim when you go by water, you take a boat. Can you have some common sense?"

"You said I don't have common sense, and I said you don't understand the dangers of the workplace."

Qi Yan smiled mysteriously, his eyes swept across Taihe and Zuo Le, and finally stopped on the two sisters Nian and Xi.

Zuo Le felt Qi Yan's gaze and was still confused, but Taihe suddenly realized something.

He quickly shouted to the empty surroundings:

"Master Bai Tian, ​​no!"

Taihe's shouts echoed far away in the mountains, but they did not have the desired effect.

There was a loud thunderclap, and a winding lightning snake pierced through the clouds and hit Nian and Xi in the face.
