I saw a figure ducking out from behind the wall, clasping his fists and saying, "Thank you for your kindness, senior."
This person was dressed in black, with no skin exposed, and the other person's voice changed before he spoke. The old man did not turn around and only said: "Please close the door, guest."
Wei Jing also wanted to see what would happen next. After closing the wooden door, with his sharp hearing, he had already heard a voice from the alley on the other side of the wall: "Look where is the man in black? Your Majesty has given an order. Look for it, and don’t just take things from other people’s homes, otherwise you will know my rules!”
"Yes, head catcher!"
Hearing that it was official police officers dispatched, Wei Jing became more curious about the identity of this person and the old man. He couldn't help but take out some small cashew nuts from the ring. This was what he had ordered the waiter to fry in the kitchen before setting off. He and Tong Yixin ate cashew nuts while Follow the old man into the store.
The furnishings in the store are similar to those in other pubs, except they are a little smaller and... a little bit worn! A large table is where drinks are served, and guests can sit around or on other chairs, but Wei Jing and the man in black also chose to sit near the big table.
Wei Jing sat in the middle with his back to the door, while the man in black sat in the corner next to the table, keeping a distance from others. He didn't even eat the cashews given by Wei Jing, while the old man was preparing work at the table.
At this time in the store, there was only the sound of the old man sorting things, and then there were a lot of footsteps outside the store. However, the man in black was not nervous at all, as if someone would come in to search, he looked calm and rested with his eyes closed.
As for the people outside, Wei Jing heard them walking around angrily, but it seemed as if they couldn't see the store. Wei Jing asked curiously: "Friend, I'm curious about what you did to get chased by the police?"
The man in black didn't speak, and the old man's movements stopped, and the atmosphere paused for a moment, but Wei Jing seemed to turn a blind eye and only looked at the other person, his eyes like stars jumping out of eight hangings, saying to speak out quickly!
The man in black didn't seem to hear what the other party said, and continued to close his eyes to rest. Then Wei Jing took out some silver coins and put them on the other party's table and said: "Poor kid, take it out! Don't steal things without any silver coins again... "
"Ding!"
The man in black couldn't bear it anymore, so he took out the hidden dagger in his hand and stabbed him at the throat. However, at some point, Chengdao was already blocking him from taking any further steps, and the collision between the two made a crisp sound.
After the man in black failed to hit him, he put away the dagger and sat back down. Wei Jing did not blame the other person but just took back the silver coins he gave him. Tong Yixin said on his shoulder: "Boy, why do you want to anger the other person?"
"Don't you think it's strange?"
"What's weird?"
"After we showed up, the man in black also showed up."
"Is it the person who is chasing you?"
"This is definitely not the case, because after I absorbed those people, I found that they were not on the same road, and the weapons of the other party were not stained with blood or smell. I can know that the other party was not being hunted for murder."
"Do you know what that person did and was traced?"
"I'm not sure, but the other party is not a bad person. If the old man in this store is not a master, I won't believe anything he says. Moreover, the man in black should have done something, and the old man also thought it was the right thing to let him enter the store."
"Are you referring to the inferior formation outside the door?"
"This is not considered classy, and your vision is too high. Chu Cheng lent me a lot of books on formations, and I also read the classics left by my predecessors. Although I don't understand much, I also know the rules. The outer surface depicts extradition, transfer, and inconspicuous effects, and the most basic one is arranged by a fifth-level formation master."
"You mean that old man is the Five Marks Array Master?"
"Who else could it be besides him, but I don't want to know too much."
Wei Jing put Cheng Dao back on his back and asked the old man: "Old man, do you have any information about the legions in the sea?"
The old man said: "Yes, what kind do you want?"
"I want them all, please."
"Hmm...Okay, you have to wait for a while, and you have to watch it on the spot and can't take it away."
"good!"
"Well...that's it."
The old man didn't know, but he took out a thick piece of paper from somewhere under the table. Tong Yixin said: "The paper looks new and old."
Wei Jing looked at it and replied: "Some information has been updated, such as new military formations or the mobilization of grain and grass, etc."
"is that useful?"
"It's incredible. How can you get it? But it's very useful!"
When he was looking at the data, the old man also gave the elixir to the man in black and said at the same time: "Just leave after your injury is healed. Sometimes asking for help is not a sign of weakness."
The man in black didn't speak, only nodded to express his gratitude, and had no other reaction, but the old man didn't mind, because the words in some people's mouths were never as real as their physical actions.
And Wei Jing said: "Friend, do you want to lend you some silver? I only charge you 20 cents of interest, which is really the price of a friend."
The answer was the dagger that reappeared on the table. Wei Jing saw it and said, "If you don't want to borrow it, you won't borrow it, and weapons cannot be mortgaged."
Under the peaceful atmosphere between the two of them, the man in black remained motionless, but all his energy was locked on Wei Jing's body.
At this time, the old man did not wait for the reaction of the man in black, took out two bottles of wine and placed them in front of the two of them, then went about his own business. The whole shop suddenly became quiet again, leaving only the sound of the old man taking things and clinking them. , the sound of Wei Jing turning pages and the sound of distant footsteps outside the store.
After the man in black took the elixir, he entered a still state of breath control and remained motionless. The old man also tidied up his things and sat at a certain place on his desk to drink tea. He would only look at Wei Jing's shoulders from time to time. The blue bird on the screen, and Wei Jing himself was also concentrating on watching his information.
After a while, the man in black took action. He took out a palm-sized gourd from his arms and said, "Senior, this is something I got by chance. I leave it here to thank you, senior." After saying that, he immediately left without leaving a trace. Just disappeared into the store.
The old man accepted the gift of thanks without saying anything, but Tong Yixin said disdainfully: "I thought it was something, it was just water from the Xuanjing."
Wei Jing did not stop his movements or shift his gaze as he asked: "Water from Xuanjing?"
"You may not know that this is a specialty of the Northern Xuanwu Empire."
"For what purpose?"
"It is usually used to make tea, and every sip of tea will have a cold feeling, which can have both hot and cold feelings."
"Is it mainly used for eating?"
"mainly."
"What about secondary?"
"It is considered a material for alchemy, but its function can be replaced by other medicinal materials. However, in ancient times, this material was a material used in forging, but no one should know about it now, but the descendants of Beiming should know."
"The Beiming you are referring to is the royal family of the Xuanwu Empire?"
"Yes, I will take you to see it when I have time. Have you finished reading your things?"
"almost."
"Is there anything you need?"
"Yes, and there are many."
"It doesn't matter what the main thing is. I'm hungry. Let's go find something to eat!"
"Wait a while, there are some that I haven't finished yet, so I'll write them down soon."
If so, Liu Tian quickly looked at the remaining data and said to the old man: "Old man, I have finished reading the information and will return it to you." He placed the document in front of the old man.
After packing up the things, the old man said calmly: "You're welcome, little friend."
"I know that these things cannot be replaced with silver taels. I wonder what I need to do to repay the old man?"
"Hmm... That kid is right. I wonder what you can do for me, an old man?"
"I can do anything that doesn't go against my original intention."
"The world has forgotten its original intention. I'm glad that you have such a good mood, little friend. What you are asked to do is not difficult. You also saw the man in black just now. The other party wants to complete something, but the old man is afraid that if he completes it, his life will be lost. , so is it okay to help the other person when needed?"
"If something goes against my original intention, is it okay to just protect the other person's life?"
"Of course!"
Then one person and one bird went on a journey to find delicious food at a roadside stall. When they were sitting and waiting for the delicious food to arrive, Tong Yixin said: "Boy, you just agreed to that old man, weren't you afraid of trouble?"
Wei Jing put down the bowls and chopsticks and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm just annoying, but the old man's information is worth the trouble."
"What kind of information is it?"
