Chapter 444: Midi II
Great Xia, Chao'an County.
The blazing sun was shining on the ground, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, except for a few passers-by with umbrellas who hurriedly walked from one shop to another.
The taupe wooden buildings are exposed to the sun, and the subtle sound of wood cracking can be heard from time to time.
Located in the Tsing Yi Restaurant in the west of the county seat, at this time, several restaurant juniors were sitting lazily on the bench in front of the door, holding a wooden basin filled with cold water, and constantly sprinkling wetlands on the ground.
As soon as the water vapor touched the ground, it splashed bright fine ash with a snort, and at the same time there was a subtle heat steaming.
"What the hell is the weather, why is it so hot!?" Xiao Er muttered in a low voice, reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and rubbed it on the towel on his shoulder.
"Is there anyone?" Suddenly, two yamen masters wearing official clothes stepped in at the door of the restaurant, and the two poor masters with thick waists and round shoulders were also panting heavily, and the black and red red clothes on their bodies were even more soaked with sweat and clinging to their bodies. It makes people feel uncomfortable when they look at it.
"Second Master Zhang! Third Master Li, please come here! The shopkeeper has brought a pot of white ice, which is being placed on the second floor, and many guests have gone up to the second floor. Xiao Er hurriedly greeted him.
"Hey, I know that the golden shopkeeper has a way, and even the white ice that only rich and noble officials can afford to use!"
The two errand men were overjoyed and staggered up the stairs.
Before the two of them could go upstairs completely, there was another figure in front of the door.
"Xiao Er, come to the table of wine and food, just the signature dish you are good at. Serve more rice. A calm, deep man's voice came in from the door.
The two juniors turned to look, and they couldn't help but feel a slight chill.
The guest in front of him was unbelievably strong, with a hat on his head, and a short gray cloth on his body, and his exposed wrist was as thick as an ordinary man's arm. Walking to the door of the restaurant is like a wall, covering most of the light outside.
"Good.... Okay, guest officer, please come in. Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
The footsteps of the two errand men stopped on the stairs, and they also looked in the direction of the man from a high place, and their hearts jumped.
"This Chen family posted a reward notice, but it can provoke a lot of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, let's go, don't care so much, let's drink ours. The older officer tapped the other on the shoulder. "It's none of our business. ”
The two of them spoke very little, but they still did not escape the ears of the man in the hat.
He raised his head and gently untied his hat, revealing an ordinary face that was cold and with a hint of murder. It was Lu Sheng, who had been away from Purple Smoke Mountain Villa for a long time.
After he got the direction of the three platinum stone pillars from Gu Yan, he immediately went straight to the first of them.
That is, this Chao'an County.
This Chao'an County is located in the middle of nowhere, a small city surrounded by mountains, and Lu Sheng inquired about the situation here for a while.
learned that the Chen family, a big family in this county, has had a strange thing over the years. I've been offering rewards for strange people to help solve them. But it hasn't worked well.
It's just that recently, the Chen family took out another precious treasure as a reward, stating that as long as anyone can solve the strange thing, they will give the treasure to the other party.
The treasure is called the Eight Treasures Coral Cup. It is an extremely delicate fiery red coral ornament, covered with precious stones, pearls, and jadeite, which is extremely precious, only one level less than the priceless treasure.
There are even rumors in the rivers and lakes that this coral cup is actually the one carried by the Nine Palace Sword Saint who died unexpectedly back then. Inside hides the terrifying skills of the Nine Palace Sword Saints who dominate the world.
Under such rumors, a large number of people with superb skills came from all directions, and the Chen family, who was just a big clan in the county town, was suddenly in danger in the face of this scene, and they were unable to compete with so many masters of the rivers and lakes.
The current situation is extremely troublesome, and the government has no choice but to increase the number of troops to protect the city and impose curfews and other means.
Lu Sheng has a general understanding of the armed forces of this world, the rivers and lakes of the Great Xia Dynasty are mainly based on the traditional internal qi and external strength, there are famous internal masters on the rivers and lakes, and there are also famous places in various states that are intertwined, there are demon sects on behalf of Hu Sect, there are righteous ways on behalf of the mountains and rivers gang, Taishan Sect, and Shenyi Gate.
Lu Sheng just encountered robbers on the way, and interrogated some basic common sense from them, as for how powerful the top masters in the rivers and lakes were, he didn't know. This trip happened to run into the Chen family's business, and he also planned to simply explore the bottom.
Along the way, he carefully studied the basic method of spiritual power given by Gu Yan, as well as the Heavenly Demon Jade Codex, and roughly understood what to do in the future.
It's just that he didn't dare to casually practice the skills given by that person, so he planned to find a few test items to try one or two first.
The basic method of spiritual power, he himself has enough spiritual power, but it is very simple, just use the method used by the original Sanbu guardian spirit to forcibly build the foundation.
As for the Heavenly Demon Jade Classic, he hadn't figured out how to get it yet.
Holding the hat, Lu Sheng glanced at the first floor of the restaurant.
"It's on the ground floor, quieter. He ignored Xiao Er's incoherent introduction, and went straight to a table in the corner and sat down.
The other junior hurriedly brought him some cold dishes and small plates. Then serve a jug of cold water.
Meals take some time to prepare, you wait. Xiao Er tried to speak in his gentlest tone. The master in front of him, at first glance, is the kind of ruthless man who says that he will never move his feet, and ordinary people really can't afford to provoke such a high-flying master.
"Well, go ahead. Lu Sheng took out his chopsticks and took a peanut and chewed it slowly.
After Xiao Er left, the first floor of the restaurant returned to its original calm. In the distance, there were dogs barking and the sound of pipa instruments.
Lu Sheng was very satisfied with this tranquility, the temperature was indeed very hot, but it had no effect on him, after his spiritual power reached a certain strength at this time, the essence in his body turned golden. Every move is terrifyingly powerful. He also practiced some of the external hard exercises in the Eight Demon Extreme Paths, and the changes in the cold and heat of the outside world, as long as they were not too drastic, were almost the same as none for him.
After eating a few plates of cold butterflies, the calm of the restaurant did not last long, and another group of people came in front of the door. They were all well-dressed young men.
Three men and two women, with an average age of no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, each with a long sword hanging from their waists, and their long hair is tied neatly like a Jianghu guest. But the immaturity and agility on their faces show that this group of people just wants to pretend to be young boys and girls.
"Ouch, isn't this a group of young masters? There are also a few eldest young ladies and eldest young masters, who are also here?
The fat shopkeeper on the second floor ran downstairs and hurried up. Welcome this group of young second generations into the door.
"Shopkeeper Jin, it's been a long time since I've been to your Tsing Yi Restaurant. What new dishes have been served recently, hurry up and try it, this ghost weather is too hot, and you will be sweating after walking a few steps. The young man who took the lead had a gentle temperament, but he still couldn't hide his words and was full of confidence.
"It's easy to say, I have the name of the dish in my mind, and I will immediately go into the wing room to report it to a few young ladies. The golden shopkeeper was easy to talk about, and took these second generations to the second floor.
When they went upstairs, the group of young people also noticed Lu Sheng sitting in the corner eating. There was a faint hint of interest.
Lu Sheng's dress can be said to be completely in line with the image of the heroes of the rivers and lakes that these second-generation people have heard from storytelling martial arts since childhood. Although the appearance is a little fierce, this does not hinder the strong curiosity of several people.
They heard that a lot of people from the rivers and lakes had come to Tsing Yi Restaurant, so they took the initiative to sneak out to see the novelty.
By the way, he took the family heirloom martial arts that he had practiced hard for many years, opened up meat on the rivers and lakes, and became famous.
Among them, Chen Qun is the leader, in the second generation of this group of Chen families, he Chen Qun is the only person in this generation who has practiced the family martial arts Qimei Peerless Sword to the realm of Xiaocheng.
After this group of second generations went upstairs, there was a little noise soon, and it seemed that someone had some dispute. But the voice soon fell silent, and there was no movement.
Lu Sheng still sat and ate his own meal, and after eating at one table, he felt that it tasted good, and asked Xiao Er to serve a new table.
Soon, a strange combination of two people appeared in front of the restaurant.
A hunchback wearing a horse coat woven with rich gold thread, and a middle-aged woman in white wearing a veil, a slender figure, and a long sword hanging from her waist, entered the door one after the other.
"Serve the wine, ask for the best wine, the more the merrier!" the hunchbacked, gray-haired, hissing voice as soon as he entered the door.
"Okay, okay! You always sit down, and the wine will come soon!" Xiao Er knew that the other party was from the rivers and lakes as soon as he saw this posture, and he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he hurriedly led the two of them to prepare to go to the second floor.
Unexpectedly, the hunchback swept his eyes, and after seeing Lu Sheng in the corner, he didn't leave.
"It's on the first floor. He took the middle-aged woman to sit at a table away from Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng glanced at the two of them, ignored them, and continued to eat his own. He sensed that something big might happen to this Tsing Yi restaurant, but it had nothing to do with him. He's just a spectator.
After the hunchbacked two sat down, soon another people entered the door one after another, some with knives, some with swords, and some with steel whips and meteor hammers. At first glance, you can see that it is a person from the rivers and lakes.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is becoming more and more solemn, although there are more and more people, but the sound is getting quieter and quieter.
As time passed, the sun gradually set in the west, but everyone in the restaurant seemed to be afraid of something, eating their own food, drinking wine, and vigilantly secretly looking at the others around them.
Lu Sheng slowly finished the third table of food and wiped his mouth with the hot towel that was brought. Leaning against the wall, I slowly drank a little wine.
Boom!!
Suddenly, a loud bang came down from the staircase on the second floor.
"Fuck you, little rabbit, I really don't dare to cut you??" a rough voice roared angrily.
This was followed by a rush of metal clashes.
"Brother Qun!!" the screams of several young men and women overlapped.
Boom!
A figure rolls down the stairs on the second floor. Rolled all the way down and fell heavily on the ground in the lobby on the first floor.
Lu Sheng glanced at this person, it was actually the noble young man Chen Qun who was still looking forward to it before.
This Chen Qun was holding a broken sword in his hand, with a handsome face, a blue nose and swollen face, and it seemed that he had been beaten enough.
"This brother, that kid is just a momentary gaffe, why do you have to act so ruthlessly?" another old voice sounded upstairs.
"Don't fly the crane in Xiayunxi, this kid is cut today, one hand and one leg, say no two. Who dares to stop Lao Tzu, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and being ruthless!" The rough voice was cold and famous.
As soon as this name came out, there was silence upstairs and downstairs.
Even the hunchbacked old man sitting near Lu Sheng moved his eyes slightly.
No one spoke of persuasion.
