Chapter 7 The journey of thousands of miles is only for food
In the beginning, God Chu Mu was named Tianhe Sword Immortal because he guarded Tianhe City.
But later, in the eyes of more people, Tianhe City was called Tianhe City precisely because of the existence of Tianhe Sword Immortal.
How can Tianhe City be regarded as Tianhe City without Tianhe Sword Fairy?
The Shepherd God of Chu has long become the symbol and symbol of Tianhe City.
Therefore, Lu Qingshan never expected that he and Chang Annian, the most legendary, powerful and greatest sword cultivator, would meet in such a situation.
"Chu Jianxian is waiting for you above." The old monk took Lu Qingshan all the way to the bottom of the city wall facing the Tianhe Sea, and then left first.
Lu Qingshan did not hesitate and climbed up the city wall without any haste, and saw such a scene.
A low table stands on the top of the city, and on the other side is the endless and magnificent Milky Way and Sea.
On the table is a small bronze cauldron. There is a charcoal fire burning under the bronze cauldron, and there is water boiling in the bronze cauldron.
The golden fish rolled in the boiling water of the copper tripod, and the water vapor evaporated, and the golden fish followed it up and down, turbulent.
There is a man in front of the table, holding chopsticks. There are several porcelain bowls in front of the man.
The man turned his head, his eyes were deep and his sword-shaped eyebrows were on his temples, giving him a sharp look.
When he saw Lu Qingshan arriving, he nodded, "Coming?"
Although it was different from what he expected, Lu Qingshan quickly reacted, cupped his fists and saluted, "I have met Chu Jianxian."
God Mu of Chu picked out a piece of fish meat from the copper tripod, put it in a bowl with dipping sauce, and then put it into his mouth to chew.
He chewed the fish meat, closed his eyes, and looked very intoxicated. After a while, he opened his eyes, looked at Lu Qingshan, and made a gesture of invitation.
Lu Qingshan hesitated for a moment, then moved forward and sat down at the table.
"Try it too, it tastes very good."
"Although the soup is bland, this is an ancestor fish that only exists in the Tianhe Sea.
It itself has the most delicious taste in the world, so you only need to cook it like this without adding any seasonings, otherwise it will destroy its own delicious taste." Chu Mu Shen gave Lu Qingshan a bowl of fish soup and signaled to him.
eat more.
"Senior, do you like to eat fish?" Lu Qingshan took the bowl and looked at the fish soup in the bowl with a strange look.
Threads of golden mist are hazy at the bottom of the bowl. It is very primitive and hazy, and contains an extraordinary power.
Lu Qingshan took a sip of the fish soup, and while his mouth was full of fragrant and fresh taste, his spirit suddenly became clear and his mood became peaceful.
"Good fish, good soup." Lu Qingshan couldn't help but praise.
"Yes, I like to eat fish the most.
When I was a child, my family was too poor to afford meat. The only meat we could eat was when my father would catch one or two fish from the river and take them home to make soup. It was the most delicious thing I have ever eaten.
"
Chu Mu Shen looked at Lu Qingshan and said nonchalantly. At this time, he didn't look like a swordsman, but more like an elder in the family.
"Are you interested in hearing my story?" He put down his chopsticks and asked suddenly.
Lu Qingshan was startled, then nodded: "Of course."
The world only knows that Chu Mu God exists in Tianhe City. Chu Mu God is the strongest swordsman and even the strongest monk in the human race. However, few people know the story of Chu Mu God and his origin.
But for such a character, his story must be very exciting and magnificent, right?
At least that’s what Lu Qingshan has always thought
Chu Mu Shen pointed with his finger in the direction Lu Qingshan came from.
"Many years ago, in a small state in the Heavenly Region of the Sky, there was a very, very small country called the Sheep Country."
"I was born in a small rural village in the country of sheep. My father is a sheep herder."
It fits the name very well, Lu Qingshan thought,
"I was born a very ordinary person"
Lu Qingshan wondered, are all sword immortals so "humble", even the God of Chu Mu?
"Although my family is a sheep herder, in fact, our family cannot afford to eat mutton at all. The only meat I have ever eaten is fish, because it is free."
"I am just an ordinary person, so I should be like other ordinary people. When I grow up, I will inherit my father's business and then become a sheepherder."
"Even my name is Muyang, Chu Muyang," Chu Muyang smiled and explained: "The current name was changed by someone later on for me."
“But then something unexpected happened and everything changed.
One day an old man came to the village, carrying a sword on his back, saying he was some kind of immortal and wanted to find a qualified apprentice to teach him how to practice swordsmanship."
"I'm definitely not interested. I have to look after the sheep, so I don't have time to learn the sword.
But he said something else, he said that as long as you learn swordsmanship from him, you will be rich every day."
"I asked him, is it true that if you learn swordsmanship from him, you will have fish to eat every day?"
"He said yes."
"Then, I followed him to learn the sword."
"Actually, he didn't lie to me." Perhaps because it was too long ago, Chu Mu Shen recalled it carefully before continuing.
"Eaters are short-tongued, so I studied the swordsmanship he taught me seriously. In fact, I didn't need to take it too seriously, because it wasn't difficult at all."
"Learning such a simple thing and being able to eat fish every day seems to me like a paradise." Chu Mu Shen sighed seriously, and then sighed, "It's a pity that the good times don't last long."
Although he was vaguely aware that there would be something wrong later, as a listener of the story, Lu Qingshan still understood the necessary etiquette, so he immediately answered: "What happened?"
"After one or two years, or two or three years?" It was too long ago, and Chu Mu Shen's memories became blurry, and he couldn't be sure. "Anyway, it was about one or two or three years. He suddenly told me that he had already
There is nothing left to teach me."
"I immediately panicked, wondering if I had eaten too much and made him poor, so I told him not to drive me away. From now on, I only need to eat fish once every three days."
"After he was silent for a long time, he asked me if I still wanted to continue eating fish. I nodded, and then he gave me a token and asked me to go to Chang'an."
"I don't know where Chang'an is, but it's okay. I can ask for directions."
"So I set off."
"It's just that I didn't expect that Chang'an would be so far away."
"I walked for seven years before finally reaching Chang'an."
"Wait a minute," Lu Qingshan asked in surprise: "You mean, you spent seven years walking to Chang'an just to eat fish every day?"
"Didn't I tell you that I like to eat fish?" Chu Mu Shen nodded matter-of-factly.
Then you really like eating fish, Lu Qingshan was a little speechless.
"Then what?" Lu Qingshan expressed his understanding. Successful people are always paranoid. This sentence is more or less true.
"Then, then I will continue to learn swordsmanship in Chang'an City and continue to eat fish."
It is really a very reasonable development, so reasonable that he has nothing to complain about, Lu Qingshan thought in his heart.
"What happens next?"
"Then, many years passed and Tianhe City was built. Suddenly one day, someone said to me, don't you like to eat fish? Then go to Tianhe City!
There is the largest sea in the world and the most delicious fish in the world.
I asked him if he lied to me, and he said no. If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself.
Then I believed it, came to Tianhe City, and never left again for 20,000 years."
"Senior, the name of the person who called you to Tianhe City is Xia?"
"Yes," Chu Mu Shen recalled the scene from that year, with a nostalgic look on his face, "The days when I first came to Tianhe City were probably my happiest days."
"The fish in the Tianhe Sea are all fish I have never seen or eaten before."
"It's just a pity that no matter how big the Tianhe Sea is, no matter how many types of fish there are, if you stay here for a long time, you will eat them all."
"Then how did you become the Sword Immortal?" Lu Qingshan asked again.
Chu Mu Shen pointed at the vast Tianhe Sea, "You see, on the other side of the Tianhe River is the abyss, so when I go fishing on the Tianhe Sea, I always encounter demon cultivators from the abyss from time to time."
"As soon as they see me, they will attack me and want to kill me."
Lu Qingshan thought to himself, humans and demons are not at odds with each other. How can the demons not take action when they see the human monks who are alone?
"Then if they take action, I have no choice but to fight back."
"They are very powerful, so I have to become stronger than them."
"In those years, I had many fights with the demon cultivators over fishing."
"I've never lost."
"Then, I became the Sword Immortal."
Lu Qingshan was speechless again.
In fact, when Chu Mu Shen began to tell his story, Lu Qingshan frequently fell into speechlessness.
From a sheepherding boy in the countryside to the Tianhe Sword Immortal who guards Tianhe City, the road is more than ten thousand miles long?
But it seems that in the story of Chu Mu Shen.
