It was cloudless for three days in a row, and the autumn sun was not necessarily any less merciful than the scorching summer heat. After all, they were all from the same family, and they resorted to extreme means and cruel intentions, but they never showed any mercy. Waiting for Shanlan here Although people in this small town are used to seeing the sun, the unfortunate thing is that the weather in early autumn changes from time to time, which is very cursed. Either cold rain pours down on the face, or the sun becomes gloomy and vicious again. , the hottest part is unbearable, so conservatives criticized it.
After all, it is not considered a big city, and it is really hard to recruit servants to come and irrigate the ground with clean water. Therefore, the long streets and alleys in the city are actually burned by the scorching sun in early autumn, even those who have been running all day long. If a man with rough skin and thick flesh has never walked like the wind, he will still be burned to the point of jumping by the hot streets and alleys that can be called the fire.
After all, we had known that the autumn rain was coming, but we still couldn't get any relief, and flying fire fell to the ground, and everyone would be cursed. After all, it was just one or two tremors before it happened, which was enough to make people's hearts beat. Trembling, and most of all, I feel that everything in front of me is dull and dull. Everyone in the world is working hard. Although the princes, princes and grandsons are holding umbrellas, they are still sweating like rain, and the hard workers quarrying in the mountains are still sweating like rain. Working bare-chested, the back is already dark, but the hot autumn sun is so hot that the skin and flesh are exploding, which wears down people's patience.
The more beautiful the sky was, the more time it took Yun Zhong and Chu Xin to climb up the mountain. Not only Jiang Baigui, but also Liu Dan, who had nothing to do all day long and felt burnt on the outside and crispy on the inside due to the scorching sun, I had to be speechless one after another. I asked the waiter for an old vat that was as tall as one person, and I jumped into it by myself, sealing the blisters and skin, and changing the water frequently. Only then did I feel a little more comfortable. Money is the most valuable thing in the world. When I was a beggar at Xia Song border, Liu Dan never had such hypocritical problems. But ever since he got entangled with Yunzhong, his financial sponsor, he couldn't wait to go out all day without using his hands. He sent eight people to carry the sedan chair, and two women who were born with cold bodies took care of the two sides. They handed over peaches, plums, melons and fruits that had been soaked in well water and spring water, and stuffed them into his mouth.
However, although Liu Dan has been tired recently, others have not said much. It is hard for Yunzhong alone to blame him. After all, Liu Dan escorted Bailou Prefecture doctor Langzhong all the way to Luzhou Barrier. All the credit for his hard work is equal. It was heavy, so I paid more money. It was natural no matter how I thought about it. But I often saw Liu Dan looking very tired and comfortable. I really wanted to smash the water tank to pieces just to take a look at Liu Dan. Although he was embarrassed, he was still not vicious enough. At most, he just shook his head at Liu Dan, and he dragged Chu Xin, who had no mood swings, up the mountain to practice swordsmanship. When he had a little rest, he did not forget to study the formations. .
But the pipa player often wanted to compete with this person who was clearly at a very high level and had a rare treasure in his possession. It was because Yun Zhong's current level was really not good enough, even though he had been working hard recently. After practicing hard, it is still not enough. At most, it is just a move and a string. As for the last three strings, they are really of no use. But even so, Liu Dan just pretended that he had never seen it. He took off his clothes all day long to find a cool place and got into the water tank. Even at night, he had to soak in the water tank until his whole body felt comfortable before he felt comfortable.
The pipa player was very patient. Every time he asked for a meeting or a competition, Liu Dan would give him a sideways glance, and then he would wave his hands lightly, as if he were calling a servant, saying that he was not in a good mood today, not to mention that the two of them didn't know each other in the first place. , it’s really unkind to ask him to practice tricks for no reason. Normally, he has to spend some money to entrust someone to do things.
But not to mention it was for Liu Dan. If Yun Zhong had not handed the pipa player money, he might not be able to support himself. Now he has offended three families in the city, and he probably won't be able to make a living in the future. He has nothing to do with his realm, but He just couldn't reason with an unreasonable person like Liu Dan. Although Pipa Ke was not angry at all, he couldn't stand being ridiculed by Liu Dan for half a day every day. It was clear that he was a very young man in Si Jing who couldn't afford to support himself anyway. Become Yunzhong's follower.
It seems that the laws of nature have been circulating all the time. Yun Zhong was taught a lesson by this pipa player who practiced hard, and he still continues to practice hard to this day. And the pipa player suffered from Liu Dan, who was unreasonable and whose methods were not necessarily weaker than his own. Although he was in a very good mood, he was still a little angry and almost ruined his moral conduct. Liu Dan, on the other hand, had to smile playfully every day, and he even wanted to make his trip to the Luzhou Barrier even more bleak.
Only then can I ask for some drink money from Yun Zhong, who is stingy but has a very generous purse.
"Otherwise, we have been coveting Yun Zhong's package for a long time. In addition to money, there is probably some treasure inside. This boy is a very stingy miser. He packed the money bag inside and outside. There are many formations in Luo. I heard that you are a master at breaking formations. Why don't we make a deal and jointly suppress Yun Zhong, then break open his purse and divide the accounts between you?" What about this?" Liu Dan had said this countless times, but the pipa guest remained indifferent as always. Liu Dan calmed down a little, stretched out a hand from the water tank and gestured, "The worst thing is ***."
The blind young man took the bamboo stick, picked up the pipa and stood up to leave.
"But don't be too greedy. It's good to have this kind of money. I came up with the idea. We also peeked at the amount of money in the purse. It's quite thick. You can't add more to it. If you really add more, you will lose money. Me."
Liu Dan stood up and hurriedly started to chase after him, but found that the pipa guest turned back with empty eyes and a look of disgust.
"I didn't come here to compete with you today. I came here to visit because Young Master Yun had something to ask for. How can someone be shameless? It's better not to show off at such an age. I advise you to put on your clothes. Don't be such ridiculous people."
It wasn't until Liu Dan cursed and said that it was really fucking like he didn't need any money outside, and followed the blind and silent pipa player to the foot of the mountain, that he realized that such a scorching sky and people were coming, not just recently. Jiang Baigui, who rarely shows up all day long, or the old man who always carries a mottled and convex sword on his shoulder, or Chu Xin, who has been suffering from mental illness recently, are all waiting outside a mountain, and Yun Zhong is even more so. Open your clothes and drink, not caring about the autumn sky like fire.
This mountain has quite some background, and is not unusual. Most of the people in Shanlan City know this mountain that no one wants to climb, not because of the poor quality of the iron and stone on it, but simply because of the rocks that have rolled down around the mountain. , it is enough to know that the quality of the iron and stone in this mountain is extremely good. There is a hundred miles around Shanlan City, and it is estimated that no one can surpass it. Unfortunately, the cliffs are so thin that there is not much place to step on, and the mountains are so high that they reach into the clouds. , but the top of the mountain seems to have been cut off in half by the sword of God. Furthermore, because it is difficult to climb, it is also known as Duansu Mountain. Some people have tried to climb the mountain, but unfortunately no one has been able to climb it.
"Forging swords requires a skilled master, and a complete area must be selected. Iron, stone, earth, fire, and other heavenly materials and earthly treasures must not be missing at all. Today, it is the intention of the young man to raise an army and mobilize a large number of people. It is not in vain that I have traveled all over the country. "The sword-making objects I found today use the mountain as the furnace and the sky as the furnace cover and the ground as the four legs. Isn't it more courageous than those masters who used bells and cauldrons to forge swords by pretending to be mysterious?"
The old man Guzhang always had a loud voice, and others already knew it. Jiang Baigui also knew that this old man was not an ordinary person, so he always stood quietly. Although he was sweating, his expression was natural. Chu Xin no longer knew what the foreign object was, just one hand. Always holding the hilt of the ordinary long sword at his waist, his expression was blank. Only the pipa guest frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the old man with dull eyes.
"Old man, it's really interesting. I have never heard of a master who used such an ordinary mountain as a furnace to forge swords. We also saw the world when we were young. There are many masters of sword making and weapon forging. Who doesn't have one that looks good? The anvil at home is quite impressive considering that it is a mountain, but it can really be compared to those masters, but I don’t believe it.”
According to the usual temperament of the old man, if others say that his cultivation is very poor and that he is lame and unable to hold his hands, he may still be calm and composed. However, if anyone talks about his sword-forging ability, it is not on the table, and he will probably be looked at by the sword no matter what. It took a mediocre sword body to smash all the tendons and fractures to relieve the anger a little. But today, the old man was uncharacteristically looking sideways and smiled at Liu Dan.
"To hear what you mean, I probably haven't seen anything in the market. Back when we were young, we might as well ask who was the person who stood at the top of forging swords?" His words were bold, but look at them. With his ragged clothes and the pitted sword tire on his shoulder, I felt that this old man was incapable of insisting.
Yun Zhong looked at the whole mountain, but he noticed that he was quite distracted for no reason. The fire pattern in his Dantian that had not shown signs for a long time was about to move again. In an instant, it rushed to the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and he had to frown slightly, and sighed. The next gourd is filled with wine, and then
It was barely suppressed.
A few days ago, Qiu Hu, who had been sinking to his Dantian without any waves, was trembling faintly. However, he didn't know that the recent continuous practice of practicing swords probably shocked Qiu Hu, so his drinking suddenly increased, and finally This caused Qiu Hu, who had not seen any movement for a long time, to pass through the main meridians again. Although he suffered a lot, and he had to bear the pain of Qiu Hu's shattering of the meridians with all his strength, and the endless pain after all the internal energy was poured out, he had no choice but to rely on the power of wine to And suppressed it, even if he made a slight move, he felt like thousands of insects were eating his bones.
Most of the time, I never dared to practice this method. I really didn't dare to imagine how deep the suffering would be.
Pipa Guest once asked, if you dare to pour out your inner energy in front of outsiders, you are really not afraid of others suddenly attacking you, but Yun Zhong is just calm and calm, saying that he really wants to do it, why bother waiting until now, but he really doesn't know how to laugh. Those who speak out have their hearts gnawing at their bones, and they don’t know how long or how long they will go.
