After coming down from Baiyun Mountain, it was already dusk. Zhao Yunxi and his two men immediately found an inn and stayed overnight.
This inn is neither big nor small. It's just that the area around this inn is sparsely populated, and only a few people come to stay overnight.
Most of these people are Jianghu people and street boys.
But what worried Zhao Yunxi finally happened.
Even though the dragon spring on his back was wrapped in thick cloth, it still attracted many people to stare at him.
Just because the sword body is so wide and heavy, even if it is wrapped in cloth, people will inevitably associate it with the Longquan Sword that has been circulating in the world recently.
Some people are uncertain about raising a glass and put it to their lips without drinking;
Someone drew his sword and looked around, as if to stop the robber;
There are even more people who are ready to attack, planning a strategy that if the enemy does not move, I will not move;
But in the entire inn, only the waiter and the owner seemed so normal.
"Hey! You two guests have had a long journey, but do you want to stay here for one night?" The waiter hurriedly stepped forward and greeted the two of them with a smile: "There are also superior guest rooms upstairs. I wonder if you want to stay here for a night?" —?"
"Just prepare a double guest room for us! This is all the money I carry with me!" Cai Ming said, stuffing the money into his pocket.
Someone in the store heard this and just chuckled.
But the tense atmosphere just now didn't subside much.
"Okay!" Then the waiter led the two of them to one side and said, "Two guests! This way, please!"
"Squeak - ah -"
"Two guests, please come in!" The waiter opened the door. After the two entered the room, he took off the handkerchief from his shoulders, wiped the benches, tables and chairs in the room, and said, "Two guests, please come in!" Officer, please sit down!"
Soon, the waiter brought the food and placed it on the table.
"Waiter, can you have some tea?" Cai Ming asked.
"Yes! Yes! Wait a moment, gentlemen! I'll get ready right now!"
"哐——"
With that said, the waiter exited the room.
In the guest room, the two drank wine and talked about the bizarre experiences of the past few days.
"What do you think is the origin of the person who met Master Huiyuan? Why did even the monks in the temple turn to him? If it hadn't been for the young master who deliberately released water for us, maybe we would still be looking for that Huiyuan master. Where is the fate?" Cai Ming asked Zhao Yunxi not knowing why.
"It can be seen that this person has an extraordinary background, and his martial arts skills are far above you and me!" Zhao Yunxi said with certainty.
"Why do you say that?" Cai Ming was a little confused.
"Can't you see that as soon as we stepped into the temple that day, the curtain behind the Buddha moved. It's obvious that we are only a few steps away from him!"
"How many steps away is it?" Cai Ming, a two-foot-tall monk, was even more puzzled. He looked at Zhao Yunxi with a puzzled face and said, "I went up to see it on the spot that day! Could it be possible that he has wings and can fly?" ?”
"That's not true!" Zhao Yunxi smiled softly and added: "It's just that there is a huge disparity in power between you and me. It would be a fool's dream to catch up with this person!"
"So, that man's martial arts skills are comparable to those of Hui Yuan. Otherwise, how could all the monks in the temple turn to him!"
"Otherwise! Your reason is too forced. Because since ancient times, Shaolin Temple has been the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism in Han Dynasty and is known as 'the most famous temple in the world.' Popularize the world. Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is very fond of Shaolin, and even more so, it is used by the court. The support of the court is naturally indispensable behind this. And what you just said is a big taboo! They absolutely dare not, and this situation is even more serious. It's impossible. So! There is only one explanation that makes sense, and that is that the relationship between this person and Hui Yuan is anything but ordinary." Zhao Yunxi stood up and analyzed.
"According to what you say, the imperial court is also involved behind this!"
"It's hard to say!" Zhao Yunxi stood up and looked out the window and said, "If they intervened, what was their purpose? This is obviously unjustifiable."
"If he is not a member of the imperial court, then this person can only be a member of the Jianghu!" Cai Ming thought for a while and then said: "Because there are many reasons for people in the Jianghu, and the most likely one is Mingzhu!"
"But you seem to have forgotten one thing, that is, all the news about the Pearl first came out when the Mingyue Sect died out. And after the Mingyue Sect died overnight, all the news about the Pearl also disappeared. If they are really like this, then only Longquan can make their hearts flutter." Zhao Yunxi reviewed everyone's expressions and behavior when they entered the inn.
Of course, there is also one person who is least worthy of suspicion - the waiter.
As soon as these words came out, a figure was seen flashing past the door, and then someone was heard coming upstairs on the stairs.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
The two of them were alert and looked at the door at the same time.
"Your Majesty! The tea you requested has been prepared for you! Look -" The waiter put a white handkerchief on his left shoulder and held a teapot in one hand, and said to them respectfully.
"Just put it here!" Cai Ming pointed to the table and said.
"Okay!" The waiter took off his handkerchief, wiped the table, then put the tea on the table, and added to the two of them: "If you need anything else, just call the younger one. The younger one is downstairs. Down."
"Yeah! Got it, go down first!" Zhao Yunxi glanced at the waiter and said.
"Young man, please leave now!"
"Squeak - ah -"
The waiter immediately exited the door and closed the door.
The two of them watched the waiter leave and felt relieved.
"What a fuss! I don't think there's anything strange about it! Brother Zhao, there's no need to be so nervous!" Seeing this, Cai Ming just smiled softly, as if nothing had happened, sat down at the table, filled the cup with tea, and When he was about to quote, he was stopped by Zhao Yunxi.
"Brother Cai, wait a minute!" Zhao Yunxi snatched the tea from Cai Ming's hand, put it in front of his eyes, and said, "Be careful with the Wannian Ship! This is the teaching of the ancients! Brother Cai, don't underestimate the enemy!"
"I said you have become suspicious since you came down from Baiyun Mountain. Could it be that you are possessed again?" He rolled his eyes at Zhao Yunxi impatiently and said, "The waiter in the shop has nothing to be suspicious of!" He looks like an ordinary person, and it’s not like he’s never been seen on the street.”
Seeing this, Zhao Yunxi just smiled softly and explained to him: "Brother Cai! You are really wrong this time! People who seem to be ordinary people are not ordinary at all!"
After saying that, Zhao Yunxi took out a white mouse from his arms.
"You - why do you carry this thing in your arms? Aren't you afraid of this little thing biting you?"
As Cai Ming spoke, he shrank back and stayed far away.
"Brother Cai! It's just a mouse, there's no need to scare you like this! You - haha -" Zhao Yunxi couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
"Isn't it just a mouse? When have I ever been afraid!" Cai Ming wiped his nose, shrugged, straightened up, and sat at the table calmly, pretending to be at ease. But he still didn't dare to look directly at the little white mouse.
"It seems that Brother Cai still has a connection with this little thing! Otherwise, how could he be like this today? If this spreads, I'm afraid-"
"I told you not to betray me, my brother, like this! If you do, then I will make the matter between you and Mingzhu known to the public!"
While they were laughing, they forgot that the white mouse on the table had already finished the cup of tea due to hunger and thirst.
"Bangdang——"
The tea cup rolled to the ground and fell into crumbs.
"squeak--"
The little white mouse screamed repeatedly, with its paws raised to the sky, and kept struggling. Within a moment, there was no movement.
"Brother Cai! You should believe me this time!"
"I said you are a god! How dare you be sure that they will kill us!"
"Actually, all this is thanks to Master Huiyuan, he saved us!" Zhao Yunxi explained to him.
"I didn't expect that Master Huiyuan was so good at predicting things that he had figured it out!" Cai Ming was surprised and asked Zhao Yunxi: "Then let's do it next -"
"What else can we do! Of course we will use the trick! Find out the real culprit!"
——
"Clang~!"
The movement upstairs was so loud that everyone in the inn was startled and looked upstairs.
Seeing that there was too much movement and fearing that the customers would be suspicious, the store owner called the waiter in front of everyone and shouted: "Go and see what happened upstairs! Don't worry about disturbing the mood of the customers!"
While speaking, he did not forget to give hints with his eyes.
"Okay! Let's go right here, little one!"
The waiter walked upstairs, broke through the window paper, and looked in. He saw that the room was in a mess, and the two people had already fallen to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
The waiter then raised his lips slightly and felt relieved.
"Dear guests, I'm sorry! Just now, a wild cat slipped in from somewhere upstairs and knocked over the dishes. I just drove it out. I'm really sorry! Please use it slowly!" After finishing speaking, Ziliuer's eyes returned to the shop owner, telling him that it was done.
Seeing this, everyone didn't say much and just drank and ate their own food.
Soon, the waiter found four assailants from nowhere, came to the house, and quietly closed the door.
"Quick! Carry them out of the back door, don't disturb them!" The waiter moved the bed and saw a door standing in front of everyone.
"Wow——"
The door was opened by the waiter.
"Remember! Hand them over to the master! The master will find a solution!"
"I obey my orders!"
He carried the two of them downstairs.
After the four people went out, the waiter's mouth slightly raised and he became proud.
Looking at the objects wrapped in thick cloth on the table, he moved forward and untied the cloth.
When the wide and thick sword appeared in front of his eyes, it was like he had found a treasure.
"哐——!" The waiter tried to get it, but he only lifted it a little.
"The Longquan sword is indeed well-deserved! Even the sword is so heavy! Without any internal strength, you really can't lift it!" After the waiter finished speaking, he worked hard and took the Longquan sword off the table. got up.
"Ding--"
Looking at the half of the sword that had been drawn out, it looked ordinary.
Just when Xiao Er was puzzled, a flash of light flashed across the sword.
Before the waiter could react, he received a slap on his chest. With a miserable groan, he knocked over the tables and chairs and fell to the ground.
The four people outside the house noticed the movement in the house, put down the two of them, and turned around to inspect, but they were knocked to the ground by the two of them.
Naturally, the two of them heard the movement in the house just now. As soon as they met, they ran towards the house.
When the man in black heard that something was wrong, he took Longquan in his hand and flashed out of the window.
When the two came to the room, they saw that the tables and chairs were falling apart and the floor was in a mess. The waiter had been dead for a long time.
"He's not far away yet! Let's keep chasing!" The two of them glanced at the broken window, and then chased in the direction of the man in black.
On the branches under the moon, the willow branches were blown a little sharply by the wind.
At this time, the man in black was holding Longquan, taking advantage of the moonlight, stepping on the tiles of the roof, and walked quickly. What I saw was that his body was as light as a swallow, and his footsteps were light and rhythmic. After a while, he reached another rooftop. Just as he was taking off again, he stopped because someone was blocking his way.
The people blocking his way were Zhao Yunxi and Cai Ming.
I saw two people working in tandem, blocking the man in black in the middle.
"Your leg skills are indeed helpless! We chased you all the way and were exhausted and sweating profusely before we stopped you here." Zhao Yunxi chuckled lightly and said to him: "How do you think? Are you interested? How about two drinks below?"
"Do you think you two can stop me?" The man in black glanced sideways at Cai Ming behind him, and then said softly to Zhao Yunxi.
[Questions: 1. What secrets are hidden in Longquan Sword? Why are even the waiters in the store attracted to it?
2. Who will be the last man in black? Will the two succeed in recapturing the Longquan Sword? 】
