Travel through the heavens

Chapter 284 Why do the clouds of the nine heavens hang down and the waters of the four seas stand st

Xu Fengnian and Fang Muye walked towards the wine shop, but the others did not follow.

As the two of them entered the shop and sat down, the experienced owner of the wine shop saw that they were dressed in fine clothes and looked very elegant. He immediately trotted over and asked with a smile, "What would you like to order, gentlemen?"

Xu Fengnian asked calmly, "Is there any wine?"

The wine shop owner said cheerfully, "Yes, yes, we have famous wines from all over the country. What would you like, young master?"

Xu Fengnian didn't answer, but asked again: "What was Lao Huang drinking at that time?"

The liquor store owner was startled, full of confusion: "What Old Huang?"

Xu Fengnian glanced towards the inner city walls and said slowly, "A skinny old man with a box on his back. He once drank wine with you, and after that, he went up to the Wudi Tower to fight Wang Xianzhi."

The liquor store owner's eyes spun around, and he finally remembered. He called out, "Jiu Huang! The one who shocked the world with his sword move, 'Six Thousand Miles', right?"

Seeing Xu Fengnian nod, he continued, "Then you two have found the right place. Before that senior went up to the city to compete, he sat at this table and drank. After that, he became so heroic and fought with Wang Xianzhi until the sky was dark and the sun and moon were dimmed."

After the wine shop owner finished his spitting speech, Xu Fengnian asked, "What did he drink?"

The wine shop owner thought for a moment and said, "I remember it was rice wine."

Xu Fengnian said calmly, "Give us a pot."

Fang Muye added: "Take three bowls."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The owner of the wine shop was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know why two people wanted three bowls, he still agreed and left. A few minutes later, he brought a pot of rice wine and three bowls and placed them on the table. "Young Master, what would you like to order to go with the wine?"

"What did he do at that time?" Xu Fengnian said as he poured rice wine.

He filled all three bowls, then left one in front of himself, gave one to Fang Muye opposite him, and placed one on the table on the right.

The wine shop owner replied, "He said my wine is good and authentic."

"What else?" Xu Fengnian asked.

The liquor store owner shook his head: "After that, there was nothing more."

Xu Fengnian took out two pieces of silver and placed them on the table, saying softly, "Think about it again."

The wine shop owner frowned and thought for a while, then exclaimed, "Oh, now I remember. In addition to ordering two taels of rice wine, he also ordered half a pound of braised pork and a plate of peanuts."

Xu Fengnian asked again: "What else did he do?"

"Then..." The liquor store owner paused before continuing, "He just sat here, looking toward the north, and raised his glass frequently, as if he was toasting."

Xu Fengnian looked towards the north, where there was a place called Beiliang.

After a moment, he picked up the wine bowl and said to Fang Muye, "Wen Hua, let's have a drink with Old Huang."

"it is good."

Fang Muye also picked up the wine, and the two of them clinked their glasses with the bowl on the table, then slowly drank it all.

This scene was just like when Fang Muye and Xu Fengnian first met in Fancheng and toasted each other with yellow rice wine in the pavilion.

The owner of the liquor store looked at the two mysterious people, feeling suspicious. He carefully picked up the change on the table and went to stand behind the counter.

A pot of wine, the pot was not big to begin with, fortunately the bowl was small too, but at most there were only five bowls. Excluding the bowl that Lao Huang had on the table, Fang Muye and Xu Fengnian only had two bowls each.

Although the two drank slowly, they eventually finished their drink.

After clinking the bowls together and drinking the last sip of wine, Xu Fengnian squinted his eyes, saying nothing, neither sad nor happy.

Fang Muye saw that he lowered his head slightly, with no expression on his face, but his thoughts had drifted off to who knows where, so he said, "Xiao Nian, Old Huang is gone, there are some things we still have to do."

Xu Fengnian raised his eyes and murmured, "Wen Hua, I was chatting with Old Huang before, and I asked him what the master's demeanor was. Guess what he said."

Fang Muye asked, "What did he say?"

Xu Fengnian said slowly, "He said that those who could make the clouds of the nine heavens droop and the waters of the four seas stand still were considered true masters. He also said that considering the age of Old Monster Wang in Wudi City, he should have such a skill. You say, he clearly knew that Old Monster Wang was almost an immortal, so why did he come here to ask for a fight? When he was traveling before, he always said that when we travel around the world, if we can't win, we run away, and when the wind is strong, we scream. But now it's his turn, why can't he turn around and do the same?"

Fang Muye was silent for a moment, then said softly, "In one's lifetime, there are always things that are more important than life and death. Old Huang has his things to do, and Xiaonian, you have your things to do too."

Fang Muye glanced at the city wall covered with weapons from all over the world, saw the purple-black box hanging on the wall, and asked, "Xiao Nian, do you remember why you came to Wudi City?"

Xu Fengnian replied, "I'm here to get Old Huang's sword case."

Fang Muye said calmly, "In that case, go tell Wang Xianzhi that you are here, and tell him you are here to get the sword box."

Xu Fengnian was puzzled: "Meet Wang Xianzhi? Don't we have to fight our way to the top of the Martial Tower to see him?"

Fang Muye said indifferently: "That's his rule, not ours, why do you care about it?"

"Yeah, that's his rule, not ours."

Xu Fengnian suddenly realized something. He placed the wine bowl heavily on the table, stood up resolutely, walked out of the wine shop, and came to the main road of Wudi City. He said loudly: "Wang Xianzhi, may I ask why the clouds in the nine heavens are hanging down, and why the waters in the four seas are standing still?!"

These words were spoken with such powerful inner strength that they echoed throughout half the city.

All the visitors and residents in the city were shocked and found it unbelievable.

For many years, no one has ever dared to speak to Wang Xianzhi in this tone. This outsider really doesn't know any rules at all, and he doesn't know his place, and he doesn't know his own life or death. Is he crazy?

The bustling main road of Wudi City suddenly became quiet for a moment. Everyone looked at Xu Fengnian in surprise, waiting to see what would happen to him.

Xu Fengnian didn't care about the others' gazes and continued to shout, "Wang Xianzhi, I don't care about your rules. I came here today to retrieve the sword box. If you dare to stop me, I will beat you into a potato sooner or later."

Fang Muye came to his side and laughed, "Xiao Nian, well said, I'll beat him into a sweet potato."

Xu Fengnian vented his indignation, feeling greatly relieved. He said softly, "During the three years of traveling with Old Huang, the thing we ate the most was sweet potatoes from the fields. I was thinking about this while shouting just now, and it just came out."

"Just shout it, why should I be afraid of what he will do." Fang Muye smiled indifferently, looking towards the inner city, his eyes showing some eagerness to try.

"I'm coming, who wants to fight?"

A moment later, a sound like a huge bell suddenly resounded throughout the city. Countless people in Wudi City looked up at the same time, only to see a burly white shadow flying from a distance and landing on the corner tower of the city wall.

Wang Xianzhi, the second most powerful person in the world, suddenly appeared.

Wang Xianzhi had white hair and beard, and was dressed in linen clothes and linen shoes. He did not look very shocking, but as he stood quietly on the corner tower with his hands behind his back, it seemed as if the three mountains and five peaks were suppressing all living beings, and no one in the world could rival him.

Fang Muye glanced at Xu Fengnian and said softly, "Xiao Nian, you and Senior Li go up to the tower to get the sword box. I'll go beat him up."

After saying that, Fang Muye took a step forward, and it seemed as if an invisible staircase in the air supported his body. As he took step after step, he became taller and taller, until he was at the same height as Wang Xianzhi who was standing on the corner tower.

Fang Muye stood in the air and said loudly: "Wang Xianzhi, Wen Hua is visiting the East China Sea to fight you."
