Chapter 52: The Golden Dagger
Yuan Jia opened his eyes dimly, accepting the baptism of sunlight outside the window, he knew that a new day had begun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He also knew that today was his last day in Xianling Mountain!
Yuan Jia stretched his waist and looked under the window, the old man was already holding his stomach with a satisfied face at this time, sleeping on the lawn in the backyard of the inn, seeing that his expression was so peaceful, like a child who had fulfilled his wish!
However, although his sleeping position was very indecent, the lawn around him was very clean, and it did not look like anyone had cooked here.
Yuan Jia was afraid that the old man would catch a cold, he hurriedly pushed open the door and trotted in the direction of the old man, when passing by the counter, Yuan Jia didn't see the mean man yesterday, but Yuan Jia didn't care.
Yuan Jia walked to the lawn, the smell of colorful Lingzhi was already minimal, but he saw an old man lying there regardless of his image, and his posture was very funny!
"Senior, senior, wake up, don't sleep here, you'll catch a cold!" Yuan Jia said while shaking the fire and laughing at the old man.
“...... Hmm, it's time to eat?" The old man said indistinctly, it seems that he didn't eat enough last night!
Yuan Jia said a little helplessly: "Senior, it's not a meal, you will catch a cold if you sleep here!"
The old man patted his head and said a little confusedly: "Oh, I really overate it, I actually slept here!"
He quickly stood up, and seemed to wake up at once, without the hazy feeling of sleepy eyes just now, and returned to his usual demeanor like fire.
However, at this time, he seemed to think of something, and patted his forehead vigorously, and said with some annoyance: "Oh! I have eaten too much! I forgot something!"
Yuan Jia asked with concern, "Senior, did you forget something in the pestle field?"
The old man looked at Yuan Jia with a smile, he took out something wrapped in a black cloth, and said: "This is this thing I found in the corner next to me after you went back last night, it should be something left by the thief last night!
Yuan Jia looked at the old man with black lines on his head, took his hand with a wry smile, and looked at this black silk, which was indeed similar to the material on the man in black last night.
Slowly unveiled the layers of black cloth that wrapped it, revealing its original appearance, but the moment it was opened, Yuan Jia was immediately impressed by its peerless brilliance!
It was probably the only thing in the world, a dagger wrapped in gold, and each piece of gold was carefully carved into a smooth fish scale, making the shape of the whole dagger not only good, but also a little elegant. The gold particles shone in the sunlight, like an artifact between heaven and earth, but it was cold to the touch, and there was no sign of spiritual energy surging, it seemed that it was just an ordinary weapon.
On the daggard covered with gold, there are six relatively large gemstones of different colors inlaid on the gold, and countless small gems are inlaid on the edge of the dagger, which makes the whole dagger full of brightness, and it is also a kind of finishing touch, making this dagger more like a work of art, and the dagger handle is carved into some lines with warm "purple warm jade", which not only makes the hand holding the dagger feel comfortable, but also adds a sense of charm.
Yuan Jia pulled out the dagger, and at the moment when he just pulled it out, a cold aura slashed through Yuan Jia's eyes like a blade, making him unable to dodge! Yuan Jia hurriedly closed his eyes, and slowly moistened his eyes with his own tears to make his eyes feel better, and then he opened his eyes slowly and carefully.
However, this time Yuan Jia's eyes did not have that kind of cold aura, instead of a dagger that exuded the cold breath of steel, its sharpness made the air around it exude a trace of coldness, and even the sound of the blade rubbing the air, looking at the lines on the blade, it was not like ordinary steel, Yuan Jia believed that it could split any divine weapon, and maybe even compete with Long Liang's butterfly sword!
Yuan Jia closed the dagger, raised his head and met the smiling old man's eyes, he asked suspiciously: "Senior, don't you look down on such a divine soldier?"
The old man suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and said with some disdain: "Doll, don't compare Lao Tzu's vision with you, a little cub in the true qi realm, I'm afraid that Lao Tzu has seen more divine soldiers than you have seen women!"
Yuan Jia looked at the incomparably luxurious dagger in his hand, and secretly thought to himself in his heart, when he faced the man in black, he had actually exposed the shortcoming of his single offensive means, and now this dagger may help him improve this defect, even if he asked the man in black to borrow it, when he had the opportunity to see him, he would return it to him or return it to him, if he couldn't meet it, he would return it to the old man Huoxiao, after all, this is not his own thing!
Seeing Yuan Jia put it away, the old man smiled slightly, he seemed to recognize the dagger, but he didn't seem to tell Yuan Jia what he meant, but looked like he was waiting to see the excitement.
"If that sign is right, the guy from last night should be ...... Interesting, much more interesting than we were then!"
Yuan Jia naturally didn't know what the old man Huo Xiao was thinking, and he asked with a sincere face: "Senior, where are the city guards?"
The old man frowned and said, "What, you're leaving?"
Yuan Jia nodded, waiting for the old man who laughed at the fire.
The old man sighed and said: "I finally met a little ghost with the right appetite, I didn't expect to leave in a few days, what a pity! Let's go, Lao Tzu will take you there, and when you come again next time, remember to come to Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will make your ass bloom!" With that, he waved his fist.
Yuan Jia smiled bitterly, but he still felt very warm in his heart! Although the character of the old man was not very good, he was much more open than those sanctimonious people like Huang Yan in the outside world, and getting along with him these days added a little warmth to Yuan Jia's anxious heart, and the unhappiness he showed to Yuan Jia at this time also made Yuan Jia feel that he was a lot more kind!
The old man flicked his sleeves and walked out of the inn with an unhappy face, and Yuan Jia didn't dare to say anything, just followed behind.
When the two walked near the counter, Yuan Jia saw that the man had returned to the counter, and continued to look down at the book, as if he didn't care about Yuan Jia and the others at all.
The old man looked at him as he walked, and said in a bad voice: "I'm still alive, I'm dead!"
The man still didn't take his eyes off the old man who laughed, he lowered his head and said in his trademark shrill voice, "I'll outlive you, cripple!"
After finishing speaking, the two did not reply to each other very tacitly, as if the question just now was just a way for them to say hello!
The old man didn't look back at the man, and left the "Displeasure Inn" with Yuan Jia directly, heading towards the direction of the town's sunrise.
Yuan Jia didn't ask much, just followed the old man who looked limping, and subconsciously touched the colorful Ganoderma lucidum in his storage bag, and his mind began to slowly recall the air outside!
