In less than a week, Li Xuan Li's reputation has spread.
There are many prefectures and cities in Dayin, and there are many criminals, but no one is as famous as Li Xuan.
Full marks and impeccable test papers... coupled with the image of a young martial arts master that spreads.
No matter where Li Xuan goes, he will be called "Li Jishou".
...
In the Magnolia Pavilion, the Second Young Master Li and the Second Madam were completely numb with shock.
Even Wei Yao was repeatedly shocked, as if she was meeting this young master for the first time.
Now, the list has been released, and the Li family is ready to return.
But Li Xuan doesn't plan to leave now, he still has a lot of things to do.
The second lady figured it out that she would have nothing to do when she went back anyway, and maybe the flower-picking thief had escaped again, so she simply stopped being anxious and kept an eye on her son every day, asking him to follow his eldest brother to see what he saw.
There is great terror between life and death. The second lady truly believes that the eldest young master has "opened his eyes" and has truly achieved enlightenment.
...
On this day, the Lin family sent another invitation, saying that there would be a short meeting at Yanziwu tomorrow and a carriage would be sent early in the morning.
Li Xuan readily agreed.
At night, he changed into a large cloak, put the "Sparrow Feather Sword" presented by Magistrate Cao on his side, wrapped it in the cloak, and went out.
Today, he wanted to visit the night market in the south of Fucheng.
There is a night market in the south of the city, with dark lights and no lights, known as the Blind Market, which is specially used for people in the world to purchase weapons and martial arts.
Li Xuan had wanted to go for a long time, but there were too many people inviting him these days. He was so busy with this house today and that house tomorrow, and he had no time until now. He had no skills to continue practicing, so he was happy to look around.
After leaving the hut, he knocked on the side door.
Wei Yao has been living next door to him.
From behind the door, Wei Yao's cold voice came: "I'm asleep."
Li Xuandao: "I want to go out and visit the Blind Mansion in the south of the city."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. Wei Yao was holding a spear in his hand, dressed in a heroic outfit, with red eyes on his delicate oval face.
Obviously, she wanted to go out with Li Xuan for protection. Even though Li Xuan's reputation as a young master had spread, she never changed her mind.
Li Xuan leaned over and asked, "Didn't you sleep well?"
Wei Yao took a step back and said: "Men and women are not close to each other, so stay away from me."
Li Xuan smiled and said: "Your young master is also the head of Li's case, why don't you be so unfamiliar?"
Wei Yao pursed her lips tightly, looking melancholy.
Li Xuan glanced at her and really didn't understand what this woman was thinking, but looking at her, it seemed like she had cried.
The young man really couldn't figure out what Wei Yao had to cry about, so he asked straight to the point: "Why are you crying?"
Wei Yao quickly denied: "I didn't cry."
Li Xuanqi said: "Young Master has been selected, are you not happy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yao shook her head repeatedly, and then said: "Master, don't worry about me, let's go."
Li Xuan took two steps and suddenly turned around, wanting to ask clearly. But before he could speak, the thin girl with red eyes suddenly took two steps back like a frightened rabbit, her chest heaving, and she looked at him with a vigilant expression.
Li Xuan:? ? ?
never mind.
He didn't want to worry about it for the time being.
A woman's heart is as deep as the bottom of the sea, and she will not deceive me.
Later, Wei Yao drove the chariot and came to Xiazifang with Li Xuan.
Xiazifang is different from other market places. There is no hawking sound here and the lights are dim.
Before getting off the bus, Wei Yao took out a silver mask from her arms and put it on her face.
"Why are you wearing this?" Li Xuan asked casually.
Wei Yao said: "This face can easily cause trouble."
Li Xuan smiled: "You still know you are beautiful?"
Wei Yao said seriously: "I'm not beautiful."
Li Xuan didn't answer, he just pulled up his hood to cover his appearance.
Immediately, the two of them walked into the Blind Mansion together.
He has a strong and tall figure, and even in his cloak, he shows a certain aura.
As for Wei Yao, who was wearing a silver mask and holding a spear in her hand, Lian Jiazi could tell at a glance that she was holding the spear very steadily, and her kung fu could be seen in the subtle changes. She was a master.
Therefore, the two of them walked all the way without any provocation from the gangsters who were afraid of the weak and afraid of the strong.
The narrow alleyway exudes a stale smell in the air. If you look sideways, you can vaguely see some damp moss growing between the bricks, but the smell is obviously not only the smell of moss, but also a faint smell of blood that has not been washed away. Pungent smell.
Pieces of oilcloth were spread out on the dark ground, forming a stall.
And above each stall, there was a red lantern that seemed to be burning out.
The faint red light could barely illuminate the products on the stall, but it couldn't illuminate the appearance of the person selling the goods behind.
Li Xuan himself is the eldest young master of the Li family. Recently, he has often interacted with the dignitaries of Baihua Mansion. Naturally, he got a lot of information while chatting. One of them is: knights should not use force to break the ban, and the government does not care about Jianghu affairs.
Basically, as long as the Jianghu sect maintains a good relationship with the government, the government will not interfere with Jianghu's affairs. Whether someone dies in the Jianghu sect or there is a fight, the government will not care about it, but will treat it as a family matter, just like a master who punishes and kills his own maid.
The maids and servants who sell their bodies will no longer be protected by the government; the government will not care about the warriors who join the martial arts world.
In addition, there is another reason, that is, it is difficult to manage.
There are no cameras in this world, and there is a vendetta. Who knows who killed whom?
But if you have an official status, you will be famous.
Wherever this official gets into trouble, the government will definitely look for the local villain in that place.
Therefore, when officials from various sects and sects arrive in an upright manner, they will tell the people in their sect not to make mistakes, and they will even ask people to protect them secretly to avoid harm to themselves.
Having said that, this Blind Mansion is a dark place, and what it does is actually black market trading, and there is even a lot of stolen goods that have crossed the state capital. However, because it is a gathering place for people from the Jianghu, the government does not care about it.
Li Xuan was walking when a hoarse voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Want the best blood pill?"
Blood Qi Pill is the hard currency of a martial artist, but it also has advantages and disadvantages.
Poor Blood Qi Pills will contain impurities, and eating them randomly may even cause diarrhea.
And a good Blood Qi Pill can directly save a lot of time in practice.
Li Xuan looked sideways and saw a dark figure sitting cross-legged with his head lowered.
Before he could bend down, Wei Yao had already squatted down and said in a deep voice: "Smell."
The vendor hoarsely said, "Please."
Wei Yao deftly uncorked the bottle, sniffed it, put it back, and said, "Just average."
"Average?" The vendor's voice turned cold.
When he sells things, he naturally wants to praise his own products. How can he allow others to say that his products are average?
Wei Yao snorted coldly, and the vendor suddenly shriveled up and lost his voice.
But Li Xuan didn't feel anything.
Obviously, Wei Yao's voice was aimed at the merchant, and the merchant immediately surrendered.
After that, the two visited several stalls.
Li Xuan found that the maid who looked like a doormat next to him was like a cold lioness outside. The key was that she seemed to have a strong aura, and she could directly use her aura to suppress people.
After walking around for a while, Li Xuan took a fancy to a book on horizontal exercises called "Iron Cloak".
Seeing something going on, the stall owner boasted to the side: "This is the top skill of Luo Shimen. It is because Luo Shimen was ruined that the method spread. It's not that there were too many people copying it, and it wouldn't be sold for only ten taels of silver." .”
As he spoke, he shook his hands and said, "It's only ten taels, it's very cheap."
Wei Yao took the book, flipped through it, and after confirming the authenticity, she nodded to Li Xuan and said, "It's quite complete. It even has methods for medicinal baths and medicinal tonics, but it lacks the basic diagram."
What is true is one sentence, and false teachings are thousands of books.
The word "true" in this "true biography" falls on the fundamental picture.
Li Xuan asked: "Is it considered top-notch?"
Wei Yao said: "I've heard of the Falling Stone Gate. It's in the northwest of Baihua Mansion. There was a half-step master who practiced horizontally in the gate. It seems like it should be top-notch."
"Know the goods, girls know the goods." The stall owner next to him helped.
Wei Yao looked at Li Xuan. She didn't have any consciousness of bargaining. Obviously, she didn't have this consciousness in her mind.
Li Xuandao: "Five taels."
The stall owner looked embarrassed, but gritted his teeth and said, "Nine taels."
"Six taels."
"Eight taels."
"Seven taels, that's the most." Obviously, Li Xuan was not very good at bargaining. He was the kind of person who would be ripped off, but only a little bit.
The stall owner wanted to make a counter-offer, but when he thought that there were other people selling the book on this street, he sighed: "Okay, seven taels is just seven taels."
Li Xuan took the book and asked casually: "How did Luoshimen become ruined?"
The stall owner sighed: "It is said that the sect was destroyed by bandits, and a disciple in the sect escaped. In order to take revenge, the disciple took out Luo Shi Sect's secret knowledge and offered a reward, hoping that people in the world could do justice to him and bring justice to Luo Shi Sect. Shimen takes revenge.
After that, many sects sent their disciples there.
The Luo Shi Sect disciple was quite happy and took out the "Iron Cloak" and let everyone copy it.
The sect that had obtained the "Iron Cloak" did not break the promise, so it sent its disciples to climb the mountain to avenge the falling stone gate.
As a result... no one came back after leaving. "
Li Xuan asked in a deep voice: "Why?"
The stall owner said: "I don't know..."
Li Xuan asked: "Is no one investigating?"
The stall owner said: "I did some searching, but none of the people who went to search came back."
As he spoke, he whispered: "No one came to investigate after that, and the matter was settled. However... I heard that the fundamental diagram is still in the Falling Stone Gate."
Li Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
At this moment, he saw that another business had come next to him. The stall owner no longer paid attention to him and went to chat with the new customers.
