The soybean milk shop is not big, and the warm air mixed with the fragrance of beans seems to be isolated from the strong wind and snow outside, making people feel much warmer.
There was only one person cooking the soy milk, a middle-aged man in cloth clothes with rolled-up sleeves. His face was dusty, his skin was thick and dark, like red-hot coals in a furnace, and there was a layer of thick black stubble on his cheeks. He was taciturn.
While this man was boiling soy milk, he was holding a three-foot-long rolling pin to roll out the wonton wrappers. He was doing it with one hand, a spoon in one hand and a stick in the other. The stick ran over the chopping board, and the things that had already been cut were The dough was immediately spread out into sheets of crystal clear dough.
With just this move, Li Muchan, who had entered the store and sat down, suddenly wanted to leave.
He looked at the opponent's hands. There were no nails on the fingers. The finger bones were as thick as iron. The tiger's mouth had been worn out with a layer of flesh that was as clear as jade. There were no palm prints on the palms, and the belly of the palms was like a cake.
This reminded him of the water user's hands.
This person must be a domineering person who is proficient in hand kung fu, and he has practiced it to an extremely terrifying level.
Not only that, this person's stick skills are probably better than his palm skills.
When in the world is there such a stick master?
have.
Looking at the situation in the world before and after, people who use swords and swords are like crucian carp crossing the river. There are many masters, but there is only one person who is famous for his stick skills.
That is Old Man Tianji, Sun Baifa.
Of course, this person would not be Old Man Tianji, but since he was in Luoyang City, Li Muchan had already thought of too many possibilities.
To dare to hang a flag in front of Shangguan Xiaoxian's eyes and still be alive and well, this person must be extremely extraordinary.
The man looked a bit old and dull, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Even his voice gave people an honest and honest feeling: "Who are you?"
Li Muchan sat there. He had already thought of a lot of things to say, but when the other party asked him, he didn't know what to say.
He was silent for ten breaths, and after careful consideration, he said, "I am Shangguan Xiaoxian's husband."
As soon as the words came out, the man stopped what he was doing. The wind and snow in the sky outside the door were frightened by a murderous aura, and they all lined up outside, as if there was a demonic dragon making trouble among them.
But Li Muchan continued to say slowly: "I am the 'Thunder Envoy', one of the four guardians of the Demon Sect."
The man had turned around, his murderous aura suddenly disappeared, and the wind and snow poured in.
Before Li Muchan finished speaking, he whispered again: "I met the lobby master. He promised me a lot of benefits, but for some reason, he couldn't be found."
A bowl of soy milk was brought to Li Muchan.
"You are the one who survived in the temple." The man said.
This man is really inconspicuous, like a farmer who has been farming for half his life, and there is nothing outstanding about him.
Li Muchan looked at the steaming soy milk in front of him, patted the snowflakes on his body, then raised his eyes to look at the other party, and spoke slowly and hoarsely: "I have nothing else to do here, just one thing, I think it's okay Ask for more benefits.”
Under the bright light, this person has undergone a different change. He stands backlit, with a thin and dark face that is just covered with a layer of copper skin. His eyes are slightly bulging, with an ocher color, and his cheeks are deeply sunken. , a head full of brown and messy hair flying in the wind and snow, looking like a thunderous face.
Looking at Li Muchan who was sitting upright, the man suddenly bared his teeth and smiled. The laughter was extremely thin, as if it was squeezed out from between his teeth. The originally dull facial features were completely stretched in an instant as the facial muscles twisted. When he opened it, the light in his eyes suddenly became cold, and he said "Huh", "You rebelled against the Demon Cult and plotted against Shangguan Xiaoxian. Now you dare to come to us?"
Li Muchan suddenly asked something unexpected: "Your surname is Sun?"
"Huh?" The smile on the man's face disappeared instantly, as if it had frozen into ice, "You shouldn't have said this."
Li Muchan said indifferently: "Since you are a member of the Qinglong Society, you shouldn't talk about betrayal and calculations. In this world, there are overt and covert fights, intrigues, life and death, success or failure. No one is struggling in it. The world is like a chess game. In the end, we are all just players on the chessboard. Just a chess piece."
"well said."
Suddenly, another voice came from the shop.
The voice was not spoken by the big man in front of Li Muchan, but came out through a curtain inside.
This was a man's voice, very young and more calm, something Li Muchan had never heard before.
The mysterious man spoke calmly and said calmly: "Okay, based on what you just said, let me give you a chance. Since you are interested in coming to me, you must have prepared a price that satisfies me."
Li Muchan said calmly: "How about a demon sect princess?"
The person in the room smiled softly: "That's not enough. I heard that another demon sect king also secretly went to Chang'an and came to see him."
The man paused for a moment and then said leisurely again: "As for the benefits...if this happens and you can come out of Chang'an City alive, well, do you want to come to my place and try to be a dragon head?"
Li Muchan's eyes flashed: "Seriously?"
The mysterious man did not respond directly, but still said in a casual tone: "This time the world's masters gather, and all forces have heard about it, and the dragons and tigers are fighting. Let's not say who will get the secret treasure of the Money Gang, but who will survive?" Come down, I believe no one can despise you."
Li Muchan suddenly squinted his eyes, and a green shadow flew out from behind the curtain. He raised his hand to catch it in the air, and looked carefully. There was a dragon-shaped jade pendant in his hand. The whole body was green and green, and the dragon pattern was exquisitely carved. , so lifelike that you can tell at a glance that it is something extraordinary.
The mysterious man said: "If you can come out alive, you can take this thing to my 'Qinglong Club' to share the helm. However, I suggest that you better not show your true face next time."
Li Muchan held the dragon pattern jade pendant in his hand, took a deep look at the mysterious figure looming behind his eyes, then said no more, turned and walked into the night.
a long time.
The man in civilian clothes looked at the direction Li Muchan was leaving and asked in a deep voice: "Do you really believe this kid? This man has a treacherous plot. He has clearly taken many evil paths. He is full of sinister energy. If you don't know, you might think he is in the grave. Here’s the old ghost who crawled out.”
"Why not?" The person behind the curtain said slowly: "I didn't expect to see the martial arts of the Ghost Sect here. This man is very ambitious, but who doesn't have ambitions in the world, and he is very smart... Li Muchan, one thing A man who was frustrated and frustrated with his career was able to survive to the end and practice some evil skills, which is enough to show that he is a talent."
This person actually knew Li Muchan's identity.
"Li Muchan... Haha, do you know what the word 'cicada' means?" In the man's dull eyes, the curtain suddenly rolled up, and a figure wearing a pure black cloak came out, "This kind of Insects can live for a long time hiding in the mud, but once they break out of the ground, they can't live for more than half a month, all just to climb to high places and scream a few times."
The wind and frost squeezed in, and a few strands of white hair were hidden under the cloak.
The mysterious man stood at the door, standing in the wind and snow, and praised: "Dying peacefully, living silently, isn't this how people should live, living a wonderful life is enough; in this world, some people seem to be alive , but what is the difference between them and the plants and trees? At best, they only existed in this world. A hundred years later, they will be blown away by the wind and no one will remember them; but we must live our lives truly."
After sighing deeply, the mysterious man spoke again: "This trip is worthwhile. Shangguan Xiaoxian is indeed Shangguan Jinhong's daughter. This Li Muchan is also extraordinary. She dares to plot opportunities at this critical moment. The reason why Jianghu is wonderful is, It’s precisely because these two kinds of people exist.”
The commoner man was deep in thought and said nothing.
The mysterious man said without turning his head: "Withdraw. Since Shangguan has won, there is nothing to miss here. I ordered the disciples of the Qinglong Society from all over the place to rush to Chang'an immediately. The Secret Treasure of the Money Gang must be in their pockets. If this is done, we will not wait. If the Demon Sect advances eastward, it will be able to carry out the 'Green Dragon Changes the World' move. I will turn from defense to offense, set foot in the Western Region, and defeat the Demon Sect."
The common man's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something.
But the mysterious man has already stepped into the wind and frost. Under his cloak, his white hair is like snow, floating away.
The person is far away, but the sound is not far away.
"God's will is cold and the world is merciless. Knowing me and sinning against me, only the Spring and Autumn Period..."
