The regular customer's rough lips moved slightly, and before he finished speaking the word "的", suddenly, his right index finger that was flat on the table twitched slightly, and a slender purple thread tied to the belly of his finger suddenly jumped up.
Suddenly, a long force of energy followed the purple line and pushed towards the gourd on the table in an instant. The gourd seemed to have been commanded in an instant, and it flew up from the table. Before the big man finished speaking, it hit the hollow of his heart with the sound of whistling wind!
The action was completed in the blink of an eye, and everyone was completely overwhelmed. But there was only a "bang" sound, and the big man's strong body was smashed out of the tavern, and then he was thrown on the street, raising a cloud of dust.
Both the shopkeeper and the guests were stunned by the unexpected scene.
After about two seconds of silence in the hall, everyone slowly recovered from the disbelief. The regular customers still have that unpredictable look in their eyes, but there is a little more pity on their faces, and they don't know what they are sympathizing with.
The few big men standing at the door of the shop saw that the boss who was so powerful just now turned into a twitching native dog lying on the ground in the blink of an eye. They couldn't help but feel frightened, angry and frightened in their hearts. They hesitated in their steps, but there were still two bold and strong men who gritted their teeth, puffed out their chests and rushed into the tavern aggressively, as if they wanted to avenge the boss.
However, there were two more clear and powerful vibrations that followed. The two people who had just stepped onto the threshold were quickly smashed out by the gourd. They fell squarely on their boss, who instantly let out a sharp and sharp sound. A wail of agony.
"This..." The remaining big men looked at each other with disbelief written on their faces. I don't know what kind of magic is hidden in this small tavern, but I killed three people without any effort.
"Rush!!"
Not knowing where the courage came from, they all shouted slogans that were very demoralizing. Then they gritted their teeth in unison and rushed into the tavern as if they were going to the execution ground.
"..."
The regulars couldn't help but frown slightly when they saw this.
Not far away, Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming were walking leisurely towards the tavern with packages on their backs.
"It's probably the tavern not far away." Dongfang Shiming blocked the sun with his hands and said while looking in the direction of the tavern.
"It's incredible to fight with gourds." Fu Yunge crossed his arms, his tone full of curiosity and doubt.
Dongfang Shiming smiled and said, "When the time comes, you can ask him to demonstrate it to you."
The two were talking when suddenly several shocking explosions came from the tavern over there, hitting their eardrums.
They cheered up instantly, and Dongfang Shiming's face changed slightly. Just as the two were about to go over and find out what was going on, they flew out of the tavern following the explosion, and what came into their sight were several big men who looked like they had been badly beaten.
After a few "plops", a vast cloud of dust arose in the middle of the long street. Several big men were knocked unconscious to the ground, attracting many bold passers-by to watch. Fu Yunge also rushed over, looking at the big men in a mess on the ground in amazement, and wondering about the reason.
The shopkeeper's eyes were full of astonishment, and his eyes wandered and tentatively, aiming at the hidden expert regular customer.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed an emerald green jade plaque vaguely exposed under the tattered felt robe of a regular customer. The rumors he had heard in the past flowed back to his mind like an electric shock - this was the "Pure World Place" on the top floor. "Heaven" is the sign of the masters! This regular customer is indeed an expert from the top!
The regular customers ignored the shopkeeper's surprised, delighted and admiring gazes, drooped their eyelids, picked up the gourd and walked out.
Just before taking a step out of the door, he said without looking back: "...hurry up and save the waiter."
The words woke up everyone in the hall, and then everyone remembered that the waiter was still lying on the ground, so everyone hurriedly surrounded the injured waiter and helped him check his injuries. The regulars scratched their lice and walked out of the tavern. No one in the crowd watching the excitement noticed him, and no one would have thought that this beggar-like man had just brought down these tough men.
The regular visitor breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly towards his home.
There are more and more people watching on the street, and the noise is getting louder and louder. Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming were eager to find Zuichen Township and had no intention of staying for a long time, so they hurriedly pulled away from the wall of people.
But when leaving, Dongfang Shiming turned around and confirmed that the heads of those big men were bandaged with the same black and purple turbans as before.
The morning sun gradually rises, the ground temperature gradually warms up, the sun moves to noon, and then drifts lazily into the dim afternoon. Far away from Chaoyun Street, there are residential houses in an alleyway. The slightly cold alley wind is contaminated by the heat of the afternoon sun, and the air is filled with quiet warmth.
Dongfang Shiming and Fu Yunge finally found their home in Zuichen Township after twisting and turning in the maze-like alleys. The walls made of dry mud and blue bricks are somewhat faded due to age, but they are still neat and decent, no different from ordinary people's homes. A bunch of withered loofah vines are exposed over the wall, swaying gently in the breeze, as if they want to catch a little spring and add a bit of life to themselves.
"What does it mean to hide in the city...?" Fu Yunge pointed at the door.
Dongfang Shiming smiled slightly: "It's right here, yes, just knock on the door."
Fu Yunge hesitated and raised his hand to knock on the iron door. He was not worried about Dongfang Shiming cheating him, but he was a little hesitant about how to get along with him.
The first time I knocked on the door, no one answered. There was silence inside the door, no movement at all.
Fu Yunge turned around and asked Dongfang Shiming what to do. Dongfang Shiming looked up and saw the sun slanting slightly to the west, and immediately understood that Zui Chenxiang was taking a nap at the moment.
He couldn't help but shook his head and pulled him over with a smile: "Senior is resting. Once he falls asleep, he can't wake up even if he rings the bell beside the bed. Come sit on the steps and let's wait for a while."
The two sat down along the steps made of bluestone slabs. The stone slabs are somewhat cold, but also have a touch of warmth under the influence of the hot sun.
From time to time, there are early swallows pecking at the mud at the corner of the eaves in mid-air, and their light bodies jump across, gracefully and gracefully, drawing an elegant curve in the sky.
Fu Yunge was thinking about Zuichen Township, while Dongfang Shiming was thinking more about the strange big men who suddenly appeared recently. The uniform black headscarves and the similar way of handling cases have to make people suspicious of them. For example, what is their purpose? Is it just causing panic everywhere?
At this time, two old men walking slowly came from the alley in the distance.
The two old men have different appearances. One is tall and strong, but his face is covered with wrinkles of varying depths; while the other is so thin that he is sickly and weak. He holds a wooden stick in his withered right hand and walks forward with difficulty while leaning on it.
As they walked, they seemed to be looking for something, but they seemed to be just flexing their cervical muscles. From time to time, their necks would poke around at the houses on both sides of the alley, looking away as if they were far away.
Fu Yunge spotted the two people, and the two people happened to look over here, and their eyes met instantly.
Suddenly, as if he had discovered some extraordinary treasure, the tall old man's sunken and withered eyes suddenly burst with energy, and his originally heavy steps became much more vigorous. He grabbed the old man's walking stick next to him with one hand and walked towards Fu Yunge. Bian strode forward.
The frail old man behind him coughed twice and followed with difficulty with a staggering step.
Fu Yunge couldn't figure out what medicine the two old men were selling, but he felt a little strange in his heart. While he was thinking, the two old men came to him one after another.
Dongfang Shiming, who was deep in thought at the side, was slightly surprised by the sudden appearance of the two people. He quickly looked at the two people with sharp eyes, and then returned to normal without speaking.
"well……"
Just as the tall old man was about to speak, the old man behind him coughed heavily, as if he was suffering from severe asthma. The tall old man couldn't help but frown, and waited for him to finish coughing.
The thin old man coughed a few more times before he gradually stopped. He was still breathing heavily through his deflated nose, but the tall old man didn't seem to care about him and continued to ask slowly: "Young man... the old man wants to ask you Something..."
There was a trace of suspicion in Fu Yunge's eyes. But he didn't refuse because he was curious about what this strange old man wanted to ask.
The tall old man slowly pulled out his hand, took out something from a sack on his back, and showed it to Fu Yunge.
But when Fu Yunge saw something like that, his nerves suddenly became tense. Because what the tall old man was holding was a yellow wine gourd!
Dongfang Shiming's eyes also changed secretly, and he had no intention of continuing to think. His attention was completely attracted by the two old men. He knew the weapons from Zuichen Township, but the gourd in front of him was exactly the same as the one from Zuichen Township. He couldn't tell whether it was real or fake for a moment.
Many situations flashed through his mind. If these two people had no ill intentions, something might have happened to Zuichenxiang, but that was the worst outcome, and Dongfang Shiming was not willing to speculate like this.
The tall old man wet his dry lips and spoke slowly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Today, we two old men were drinking in a tavern on the street, and we met a group of evil men who came to the tavern to make trouble..."
"We already know this. Where does the wine gourd come from?" Dongfang Shiming interrupted him a little anxiously and asked him to pick the important one.
"Oh... after the hero performed a heroic act of justice, he left in a hurry, probably in order not to attract attention. But the hero left in a hurry and left the wine gourd in the tavern..." The tall old man took a long breath. His tone seemed to have made his mouth dry after saying this. He paused for a while and then said: "We both felt that the hero could not live without the wine gourd, so we took the gourd and found it all the way here... Young man, do you live here? Do you know that the hero lives here? Where?"
After speaking, his eyes showed eagerness and sincerity, and there didn't seem to be any lies.
Fu Yunge let out a long "Oh" after listening to it, and Dongfang Shiming's heart, which had been hanging just now, fell to the ground. He nodded, stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "It just so happens that we have some friendship with that hero, why not leave it to us and let us pass it on to him."
When the tall old man heard this, his face turned rosy and he became excited. His withered hands were trembling, and he was mumbling incoherently: "What...you, you guys know each other...that's great, that's great..."
Fu Yunge and the two suddenly felt strange. But when the tall old man got excited, his heart seemed to hurt violently, and big beads of sweat oozed from his face. He slowly knelt down with a painful expression, and beat his heart heavily with both hands, as if his condition was very serious.
The old man behind him lowered his body and helped him slowly rub his back, while shaking his head bitterly: "Oh, the old problem...it happened again..."
