When he came closer, the boss looked Xiao He up and down carefully. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't remember where he had seen this handsome and extraordinary young man in front of him. After a long while, he said with a slight embarrassment: "Please forgive me for being so stupid. , I can’t remember when I met the young master.”
Xiao He smiled very politely and said, "Old sir, look at me. Is there anything missing?"
Hearing this reminder, the old man suddenly thought of something, his eyes became a little brighter, and he suddenly said in surprise: "Haha! The young master is missing a folding fan."
"Haha! The boss really has a good memory!" Xiao He said happily after hearing this.
The boss waved his hand and said: "Where, there are only a handful of old bones left, how can there be any good memory." As the boss spoke, he looked at Xiao He carefully, "On the contrary, the young master seems to be more handsome than before. You have a handsome appearance, but what’s the secret to keeping your appearance forever?”
Xiao He smiled again and said, "There is no secret. The boss is so complimentary."
"I wonder why the young master came to Xuanyang City today?" the boss asked softly.
"It's nothing serious, I just happened to be passing by and came to the boss to buy a fan." Xiao He replied with a smile.
"I see. What a coincidence." The boss nodded, turned to the clerk and said, "Go and get that thing!"
"Is this the shopkeeper?" The boy seemed to understand something and asked tentatively.
"Hurry up and go!" the boss said anxiously.
Throughout the whole process, Xiao He and his party did not say a word and waited quietly. Not long after, the boy came over with a fan in his hands, fearfully, as if the fan was too expensive and he was afraid of breaking it.
The boss took the fan and whispered to the waiter to step back. He turned to Xiao He and said, "Sir, please see if this fan suits your liking."
The moment Xiao He took the fan from the boss, he was shocked. He opened the fan and was even more sure that this fan was not a vulgar object. The fan bones were light yellow and had a faint layer of evil aura. As a young beast, he could tell at a glance that this fan bone was made from the bones of a rhinoceros, and its cultivation level was definitely higher than that of the liger he had killed back then. The large edges on both sides of the fan are made of a piece of cold jade that has lasted for nearly a thousand years, split into two, which further demonstrates the ghost father's magical power. The large side is made of jade, which just suppresses the evil spirit of the small bones and makes the whole look more restrained. Xiao He looked at it carefully for a long time and couldn't hide his surprise. This fan only needs a little tempering to become a good fairy weapon. In the world, it is really worth a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Xiao He raised his head and said to the shopkeeper: "Boss, may I ask where you got this fan?"
The boss thought for a moment and said, "If you don't come again, I'm afraid I will forget about this. In fact, this fan was handed over to me by Qian Buqing, the shopkeeper of Louwailou."
"No fight over money?" Xiao He repeated in surprise.
"Exactly, Boss Qian said he wanted to thank you for your kindness in using the Seclusion Technique back then." The shopkeeper replied.
"Why didn't he hand it over to you personally?" Yuqing interjected and asked.
The shopkeeper continued: "Boss Qian sent several waves of people to look for you, but none of them were found. Because he is no longer in Xuanyang City at this time, he entrusted this matter to me."
"Then where did he go?" Xiao He asked.
"You don't know? Boss Qian Buzheng is now the leader of the martial arts alliance. It is said that it is related to this technique of closing the senses." The shopkeeper replied.
Indeed, in the mortal world, this method of closing the six senses is already an excellent martial art. If it can be mastered, one can imagine how fast it can be practiced. Xiao He thought this way and said again: "I wonder where he got this thing from."
The shopkeeper replied: "According to himself, when he was heading to the wild mountains outside the city, he got lost in the forest due to the sudden miasma. He couldn't find a way out until dark. As a result, he ran into an old fisherman. I think he was also lost. On the way, he gave the remaining dry food to him. Late at night, he fell asleep unconsciously. When he woke up, the old man had disappeared, leaving only this fan. Strangely enough, Boss Qian took this fan to look for him. As we were walking on the road, the miasma quietly dissipated, revealing a small road, and we were able to survive. Only outside the city did we find the future leader of the martial arts alliance."
Xiao He nodded. The wild mountain the old shopkeeper mentioned must be Fengzhi Mountain. Even he would have been lost in the miasma back then, let alone a mortal. Especially the old fishing man he mentioned sounded similar to the one he had seen that day. The old man looked very similar, but Xiao He did not say this. He said: "Boss, I've heard about this wild mountain. I heard that the mountain is surrounded by miasma all year round, and the locals don't dare to go there alone!"
The old shopkeeper said: "Shopkeeper Qian's visit to the wild mountain outside the city may have something to do with the barbecue in his building outside the building, right?"
Xiao He asked back: "Shopkeeper Qian even told you this?"
"Don't mention it anymore." The old shopkeeper shook his head, smiled relievedly, and said, "I'm just making random guesses. Since I can meet the young master today, I can be considered as fulfilling the instructions of the leader of the martial arts alliance."
Xiao He quickly replied: "You can tell at a glance that this fan is not a common thing. I'd better buy it with silver!"
The old shopkeeper shook his head and said: "What did the young master say? Besides, this is not Lao Chen's own thing. Shopkeeper Qian entrusted it to me, so how dare I make money from it."
Xiao He waved his hands quickly: "This is not okay. Paying money to buy it has the meaning of taking away someone's love. I am extremely ashamed in my heart. If you don't take any money, I really don't dare to take this fan away."
"Hey, since you are a gentleman, you don't have to refuse!" the boss said sincerely.
At this time, Yuqing, who had been silent on the side, said: "Junior brother, please stop being so nagging. Senior sister and I will just buy more jewelry from the boss!"
"This girl's words sound kind!" the boss said.
"Well, thank you boss!" Xiao He thought for a moment, then took the fan and put it in his arms.
As soon as the incident was over, Yuqing eagerly chose jewelry. Yukui and Hou Zhu were both very indifferent, standing aside and looking at Yuqing. When he came out of the antique shop, Xiao He quietly placed two silver notes worth one hundred thousand taels on the counter.
On the bluestone road in Xuanyang City, Yuqing skipped ahead, like a child, taking pictures in the bronze mirror Xiao He bought her, and looking back from time to time: "Sister, look, Is this hosta good-looking? Then the boss said where is the object from the previous dynasty!"
Yu Kui looked at Yu Qing, whom she had grown up with since childhood. Although she had experienced the scene that day, she still couldn't hide her doting expression and said: "These external things are too tacky and are extremely detrimental to spiritual practice. When I go back, I will never Don’t let Master see it!”
"As long as the senior sister and two junior brothers don't tell, the master won't know, right?" Yu Qing turned around and said with a smile.
Hou Zhu also smiled and said, "I definitely won't tell."
Xiao He just smiled lightly and said nothing.
"Junior brother, where are we going next?" Hou Zhu asked sideways.
"I will take you to the building outside the building to drink the gentleman's wine I mentioned before, and I will also bring some jars to my master Luokong." Xiao He said.
"Great! Today I must see who is more powerful, this gentleman's wine or my monkey wine!" Hou Zhu said excitedly.
On the second floor of the building outside the building, a gentle breeze was blowing by. Xiao He and the four of them chose a corner to sit down. Xiao He ordered the wine and food with ease. While waiting, he said: "It's a pity that we are not here at the right time. If it is late at night, With a few, you can taste Louwailou’s unique barbecue, which is delicious.”
"Really? That's really a pity." Hou Zhu agreed.
"What does that barbecue taste like?" Yuqing asked curiously, as if she wanted to drool.
"That's a rare delicacy in the world." After Xiao He said this, he couldn't help but think about it, "But I do know someone who knows the secret of this barbecue."
"Who is it?" Yuqing asked.
Xiao He shook his head and smiled without saying a word, but he was thinking in his heart: It's time to pay a visit to the wine monster senior, and he didn't know if he was still in Wind Stopping Valley.
Not long after, Hou Zhu said: "Our wine is here, and it smells really good!" As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter came up from the stairs with a dinner plate. The wine and food were all served, and the waiter stepped back. At this time, Before dinner time, there were only four of them left on the second floor. Hou Zhu was so impatient that he took a full sip from the wine glass and exclaimed: "What a great wine! What a great wine!"
Yuqing and Yukui both raised their glasses and took a sip, praising the gentleman's wine.
Hou Zhu couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Junior brother, do you know how to brew this gentleman's wine?"
Xiao He smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know. Although I have had a relationship with the owner of this restaurant, it involves business secrets, so I never asked about it."
"That's it." Hou Zhu said slightly disappointed.
"It would be great if boss Qian Buzheng is still in Xuanyang City. You can also ask him about the brewing method of this beautiful wine." Yuqing said tentatively.
Xiao He shook his head again and said: "It's a pity that Qian Buzheng is no longer the boss of Qian back then. I never thought that a small technique of closing my mind would make him the leader of the martial arts alliance."
The talkative Yu Kui then said: "It's okay, Junior Brother Hou Zhu, life is inevitably full of regrets. Since we have this fine wine now, why bother bothering with how to make it? If you have wine now, just get drunk now!"
"Senior Sister is exactly what you said! But Junior Brother, I have a mother-in-law. Come on, Senior Sister, Junior Brother, let's cheer!" Hou Zhu said.
The four of them were talking and laughing, their drunkenness dissipating in the breeze. When the sun was about to set, Yu Kui, who was only slightly tipsy, said, "Let's go outside the city! Don't let Uncle Tianyanzi wait too long."
"That's right! I was so busy enjoying the wine that I almost forgot about the time." Hou Zhu said.
Xiao He also said: "So, brothers and sisters, please go to the outside of the city to find the master first. I want to see an old friend again. I will come back as soon as I go!"
"Who is it?" Yuqing asked again.
"Just an old friend." Xiao He replied.
"Junior brother, you are alone outside, so be careful!" Hou Zhu said with concern.
Xiao He replied: "Senior brother, don't worry. The place I went to is not far away. I just exchanged a few words and then came back."
Hou Zhu nodded again and followed sisters Yu Kui and Yu Qing downstairs. Since it was still early, the three of them strolled along the bluestone road. Xiao He flew with his sword and flew in the direction of Fengzhi Mountain outside the city. went.
Xuanyang City is the starting point for Xiao He's cultivation of immortality. A small accident made the young man who was full of enthusiasm and planned to make a living in the world at the same time met two masters, the madman and the drunkard. Being accepted as a disciple by the Mad Demon, every plant and tree in this place can arouse Xiao He's sigh.
Xiao He walked with his sword, his speed was much faster than before. In the blink of an eye, the Wind Stop Valley was in front of him. At this time, Xiao He once again recalled the scene where he met the madman and the drunkard. He vaguely felt that many things were like two people. The high man intended to do the same, otherwise he, an ordinary man at that time, would not have the ability to stand next to such two legendary figures, let alone the mortal kung fu to fight against the mad demon and compete with the two in light kung fu.
