Except for those who died at the hands of horse thieves and enemies, those who were most likely to die in a foreign country without intact corpses were the ones who had no eyesight in the world. Only the warriors and brave men mentioned by Yizhang had an old story passed down from word to mouth: In the early years, there was a swordsman here who was skilled in swordsmanship. He used to earn money by his own skills, and he used his sharp sword in his hand to eliminate disasters for others, whether it was to assassinate enemies or to fight for territory for others. Everything is accepted. Given the difficulty of pricing this transaction, if the price is right, it will definitely come out.
But as the swordsman became more famous here, he became more arrogant and changed from accepting business to grabbing business. After all, he is very capable, and the knife is really fast and tight. Whether he is fighting alone or against many enemies, he never misses, and he has not even suffered any injuries for several years. His killing methods have become more and more crisp, and he has never missed. The more valuable one is, the more money they have accumulated, and the more they like to squander. Often, a night of red sleeves on the terrace will cost thousands of taels of silver. In the end, they cannot make up the money, so they have to go around to pick up business. If there is no business to be done, he will come to the door on his own and threaten him with a knife at his waist, which is almost the same as an open robbery.
But there are always times when things go wrong. One day, a very elegant carriage came to the capital. Even the horses had high shoulders and hunched necks, and hung bells. It looked like they were much more expensive than other carriages. This knife The customer was suffering from no business, and he also stepped forward to force the car to stop. This time, he was caught in the road, but he didn't know whether it was due to laziness or inferior skills. The man in the car tent cut off his right hand with a knife. Before he could recover, he , the head has fallen to the ground.
It was not until later that people who had lived here for a long time heard some rumors. Since the car tent came from the capital, it must not tolerate fine sand in its eyes. Moreover, it was provocative, and the people in the car tent politely refused it again and again. , and because of the urgent schedule, he simply sent his servants to take action, but in an instant, his head fell to the ground, which was what he asked for.
No one has ever been able to break that swordsman's sword, let alone get the slightest benefit, but even such a sharp sword can teach other masters to cut off three souls and seven souls in two passes, and separate the corpses. Therefore, there are people in the world here. It is said that if you have seven points of vision and three points of tolerance, you can live longer even if you are not very capable.
But this old man with disheveled hair all year round is different. He always comes to solicit business, regardless of the person's ability. Many times, some people even saw the old man taking the little ape and walking straight into the most powerful gate in this gate. The leader of the gang had not been severely beaten, but was safe and sound, and he had indeed managed to get some business. This meant that he knew that this ordinary old man really had some abilities. At least he was very clever at picking up rumors. .
A smart person does nothing like a smart person. I have never heard of this old man getting into a quarrel with his colleagues, let alone fighting between two, whether it was a few curse words, or looking down on Mi Tai, saying a few words, and spitting fiercely at the old man's side. The latter never got angry, but greeted him with a smile. At most, he bowed to the little ape who was always sitting on his shoulder and asked if he could get some rare news.
Don't stretch out your hand to hit the smiling person, not to mention that although this old man has no background, he doesn't know how he got the information, so many people just say a few words to him from time to time, but they never bully him too much.
"I dare to ask the old gentleman how many years he has been here."
The swordsman in black and wearing a bamboo hat repeated the question and knocked on the edge of the table lightly, "Since Mr. Yinzi has accepted the answer, he should act according to the rules and don't worry about what he is asking. If you don't want to answer the question, , then I still have to take this money back without any hesitation, after all, having more money can bring a lot of convenience when traveling around the world."
When talking about this equal share, the old man also put his hands in his arms and smacked his lips in silence for a long time. After all, he still couldn't bear to part with the money. He lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the little ape who was leaning in front of the swordsman. He was already very out of shape. The scrawny Zuo Ni looked at the table with envy. He knew clearly that there was food, but he was still hungry, but he still obeyed the rules and did not come forward. He gritted his teeth and came forward, lowering his voice.
"To be honest, sir, I have been waiting here for two years."
The ape jumped in front of the swordsman's knees in an instant. His figure was extremely powerful, and he didn't look like he was hungry just now. He stretched out his front paws and suddenly grabbed the long knife. He came so fast that none of the drinking men around him could see clearly what the ape was doing. When he took action, he could barely grasp the handle of the knife, and when he was about to snatch the knife away, a pair of bamboo chopsticks flew into the air from the table, penetrated the ape's shoulders, and nailed them into the ground. The restaurant immediately trembled.
When the long sword was unsheathed, the swordsman still made no unnecessary moves. He moved his sword forward lightly and lightly, and slid smoothly across the old man's neck. Two breaths after his head rolled down, blood rushed out.
No one had ever seen such a scene before. The swordsman, who didn't know the details of his origin, moved to remove the old man. Thunder passed through the alley, and the dust settled in an instant. The man who came back to his senses quickly ran out of the restaurant. , who still had the courage to join in the fun, the seven-foot tall figure could no longer suppress the fear, and trembled and ran for his life. It is said that he is a Jianghu person. Although he usually considers himself a Jianghu person, his skills are not very good, and he rarely even has the opportunity to see the corpse. Now this swordsman suddenly kills people, which immediately makes the men around him start to fight like birds and beasts. After they dispersed, even when the shopkeeper took a look, three souls were frightened and two souls fled, leaving only the swordsman and the old man's corpse.
The ape still roared hoarsely, but its figure gradually increased from the length of two palms. However, after two or three breaths, it was already a full foot taller than before. The huge body immediately shook a pair of bamboo chopsticks out of the shoulders, and even the blood did not seep out. He came out and pressed down on the swordsman with both fists. The table and bench exploded to pieces, but the swordsman had disappeared.
The most horrifying thing is that the old man who had been decapitated actually stood up and rubbed his body for a moment, then picked up the head and put it back on his neck. He twisted his neck and saw that the knife marks were already there. After he recovered, he raised his head towards the second floor and smiled sadly, "I didn't expect that the young palace master who was not in the first level of cultivation when he left the Ziluan Palace has now climbed to such a level. Although the sword just now is gone, How clever the sword moves are, but the realm can already be seen a little, the three realms are neither high nor low, but still a little shallow."
On the beam on the second floor of the tavern, several rays of sword light came out from the darkness in an instant.
The light of the sword was not necessarily sharp, but its force was mysterious and unpredictable. It was like a piece of cold electricity seeping into the building. It came and went suddenly, zigzagging several times before landing on the sides of the ape who was about one foot tall. Blood spattered. It made the ape jump violently, leaping into the air and jumping onto the beam, but the swordsman was still nowhere to be found. Immediately, there were several more sword lights at the window lattice, all of which fell around the ape and hit the ground. Then he appeared. He came out of his body, lifted up the black gauze edge of his bamboo hat, and smiled.
"The three realms are neither high nor low. Killing you is enough. Unfortunately, it seems that the people in Xumeng Mansion have been blinded by blood for many years, so their eyesight is a bit bad."
The old man was not angry. The longer he stayed here, he would inevitably be ridiculed and even bullied every day. He had already become accustomed to the swordsman's words. He shook his neck twice and said, "Girl, please don't rely on your talent and look down on me. You have guessed that I was sent by the Xumeng Mansion, and you may not be my opponent as usual. However, there is no need to worry about the insignificance of my men. After all, what the mansion wants is for me to take you back to Dayuan, so you will naturally not be hurt. girl."
It was raining heavily outside the tavern.
A few chaffinches had not yet sought shelter from the rain, but somehow they landed in front of the tavern door and fell down crookedly.
The sword flashed in the restaurant, causing the ape to be covered in cuts and bruises. The old man didn't know how many wounds he had received on his body, but whenever the sword light paused, the disheveled old man would recover from all his injuries without spending a few breaths. , standing next to the ape who also seemed to be unscathed, smiling very loosely.
On the other hand, the swordsman's sword and figure were slower and slower, and the sword's light was not as bright as before.
In the end, the old man didn't care at all that the swordsman handed out the sword, and simply sat down at the table, picked up a pot of wine that the other person had not finished, poured himself a glass of wine, and did not forget to wipe off the blood on his face, smiling freely. He said, "Now that we are at the end of our battle, why don't we sit down and have a chat. We can't stay in this restaurant. Even if we just burn incense, the poison has penetrated into the marrow. There is no solution. If I am in a good mood, I can still make Wen Wen Miss Yu will suffer less."
Wen Yu's movements were indeed getting slower and slower at this time, and it was a bit reluctant to dodge the ape's strong force and lower his arms. He often coughed up a mouthful of blood, jumped a few steps, stood in front of the tavern door, and looked at the old man coldly.
It was probably the last moment when Wen Yu retreated. There was still a flash of sword, and in an instant, the old man's right arm holding the cup was cut off, and the wine spilled all over the floor. But the old man just felt it was a pity, and immediately pressed his right arm back, and within a few seconds The breath is healed as before, and the movements are as smooth as before.
"Girl, how did you find out about me? You might as well tell the truth. Maybe for the sake of the master's instructions, I can let you go and just follow me to Dayuan. .”
"I heard that the Maodi tribe has become a lackey of the Xu Meng Mansion. When I saw it today, it was indeed as the rumors said." Wen Yu raised his sword and stood up. As he spoke, some scarlet dripped from the corners of his mouth, and he still grinned and joked, " I once heard that there were ape slaves in the Maodi tribe. In ancient times, they were servants who specialized in training apes. There are ape head brand marks on their necks. Although I don't necessarily look down on ape slaves, you can't hide your horses and legs, so how can you go out and travel around the world? "
The old man understood, smacking his lips and sighing.
"The ape slave was originally the most despised person in Dayuan. Moreover, as time has passed, he no longer relies on his skills as a monkey to please people. I only entered the practice of cultivation by chance when I was in my late teens, but I still can't escape being a knife in the hands of others."
"These old rules that ordinary people can no longer remember, the young palace master is a nobleman of Ziluan Palace, but he remembers them clearly. The old slave thanked the young palace master on behalf of the slaves who suffered in the Yuan Dynasty."
