Chapter 14: Storytelling
"In such a hurry?"
Lin Huan was a little surprised, although he knew that this master was eager to pass on the mantle, but now he wanted to explore his body.
Not only was it the mysterious black qi that suddenly appeared at that critical moment, Lin Huan also vaguely found that there seemed to be something recorded in the blood-colored Yuan Ye, and Lin Huan guessed that it was very likely to be the real Blood Hell Sword Sutra!
"Master, Lin Huan just woke up, let him rest and rest!"
Ling'er said intimately on the side, and as she spoke, Ling'er turned to ask, "Lin Huan, are you hungry?" Do you want to eat something?"
"Huh?"
Lin Huan subconsciously touched his stomach, he didn't feel it just now, but now when he was asked by Ling'er, he really felt a little hungry, and his stomach began to gurgle very cooperatively.
"Well, I'm in a hurry... Then you can rest first, and come to me tomorrow morning. ”
After speaking, the head of the door pushed the door and left, Ling'er thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to eat together?"
"It's fine. ”
Lin Huan nodded, and went out with Ling'er, and as soon as he went out, Heishi greeted him.
"Big... Lin Huan, are you alright?"
Heishi asked with concern, a hint of anxiety on his face.
Lin Huan remembered the way Heishi had slammed into the upstairs at the beginning, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "It's okay." ”
"That's good!"
Heishi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a stack of books from the ground, and sent them to Lin Huan, saying, "This is the book you want." ”
"Thank you. ”
Lin Huan nodded, in fact, there was only one egg hatching instruction manual in the book that he needed, but he didn't say it, and he didn't let Heishi take the book back, but put all the books into the storage ring.
"Hey, you're welcome!"
Seeing that Lin Huan accepted all the books, Heishi scratched his head and smiled.
"Let's go, I'll invite you two to dinner today!"
Lin Huan looked up at the blue sky, and his mood affected by the Blood Lord and Dongzong couldn't help but feel better.
"Wow, thank you!"
Ling'er clapped her hands happily, and Heishi also nodded excitedly, like a big black dog, which made Lin Huan laugh again.
"Let's go!"
Lin Huan went straight to the dining hall, and at this time he couldn't wait to eat chicken legs.
"Hey, are we really going to the cafeteria?"
Ling'er called Lin Huan from behind.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Huan turned his head and asked.
"Let's go to Dongcheng to eat, the food made by mortals is more delicious and there are many styles!"
Ling'er's big watery eyes flashed and flashed.
Lin Huan looked at Heishi, and Heishi nodded approvingly.
"It seems to be true!"
Lin Huan thought about it carefully, he really hadn't seen steamed buns in the canteen here, and at that time he thought it was because it was sold out, but he didn't expect that the food here was really not as delicious as mortals.
"What are you waiting for, let's go!"
After paying attention, Lin Huan took the lead and rushed towards the outside of the sect, and Ling'er and Heishi also followed with a smile.
The three of them rushed through the mountains and forests together, heading towards the city in the distance, looking forward to the more interesting mundane world.
Surrounded by birds and flowers and shade, Ling'er is like a lively deer, and Heishi is like a clumsy bear.
The breeze was blowing, and Lin Huan couldn't help but smile relaxed.
For a moment, Lin Huan even felt that he was really like the teenager and girl beside him, carefree, happy and laughing...
"Why is the boss suddenly generous? What is good to eat for a while? Hehehehe..."
"Why did this Lin Huan run so fast, didn't the master say that he was only at the third layer of the Yuan Realm, but I couldn't catch up with him?"
If Lin Huan knew the true thoughts of the two people around him, I am afraid that he would lose this mentality of enjoying life all of a sudden.
The three cultivators, although the realm is not high, but after all, most of the people who came to Dongcheng from the sect were downhill, and the three of them were hungry and greedy, so the speed was also very fast, and after a short time, the three of them entered Dongcheng.
As soon as they entered Dongcheng, passers-by looked sideways, Ling'er was delicate, Heishi was burly, Lin Huan was arrogant, and the three of them walked on the road very attention-grabbing, but no one dared to provoke them.
Dongcheng is so big, everyone is familiar with each other, not to mention that the temperament of Lin Huan and the three of them is obviously different from that of mortals, so everyone can also see that these three people are cultivators.
"What do you want to eat?"
Walking in the middle, Lin Huan asked arrogantly.
"I want to eat roast chicken!"
Blackstone preemptively leads.
"Hmm... Then I'm going to eat sweet cakes. ”
Ling'er said happily.
"Okay, then I'm going to eat buns!"
The three of them walked all the way and bought all the way, Heishi held a roast chicken and gnawed his mouth full of oil, and Ling'er took a small bite of a white and glutinous little sweet cake, and the sweet Ling'er squinted her eyes and ate very happily.
Only Lin Huan was empty-handed, if it weren't for his demeanor, he would have broken off a chicken leg from Heishi's hand and gnawed it first.
"Where's that guy last time?"
Lin Huan searched for a long time and didn't see the vendor who sold buns before, seeing that Heishi and Ling'er were almost finished, Lin Huan was anxious and hungry, and he impatiently unfolded his soul power, and directly searched Dongcheng!
"Huh?!"
Lin Huan's footsteps paused, sneered, suddenly turned around, and rushed towards a small alley not far away like lightning.
Suddenly there was the sound of chaotic footsteps running away in the alley.
"Stop for Lao Tzu!"
Lin Huan shouted, and the two people in simple clothes turned around with bitter faces.
One is old and one is strong, the old one is the fortune teller liar, and the strong one is the seller who sells steamed buns!
"How dare you hide and peep at me!"
Lin Huan strode forward, calculated the strength, and kicked the buttocks of the two of them one by one, kicking both of them to jump up half a step, but they didn't fall down.
"Big... Adults spare their lives, didn't the little ones have eyes and didn't know Mount Tai before, and offended adults!"
The fortune teller and the bun seller begged for mercy together, which was no different from Lin Huan begging the soul master for mercy before.
These two people also regretted it in their hearts at this time, especially the one who sold steamed buns, if he had known that Lin Huan was a cultivator, he wouldn't have dared to make a move on Lin Huan if he was killed!
To mortals, cultivators are supreme beings!
"It's okay, you, hurry up and get me some buns, as for you..."
Lin Huan looked at the fortune teller playfully, and said with a wicked smile: "You tell me a story here!"
"Tell me... Storytelling?"
The old man asked incredulously.
"Well, I said that the uncle rewarded you, but I didn't say that Lao Tzu would beat you to death!"
Lin Huan glared, and the old man shrank his neck in fright, not daring to say more, and even claiming to be good.
After a while, a small stall was set up in the alley, Lin Huan took Ling'er and Heishi to sit on the bench, and the table in front of him was lined with steamed buns, roast chicken and various pastries and tea, and on the other side of the table, an old man was telling a story with a sweaty head.
"Hmm... Not bad, not bad!"
Lin Huan took a bite of the bun and praised it.
"Old man, change the story! I'm tired of hearing this!"
Lin Huan urged the old man to tell another paragraph, in fact, it was not that Lin Huan was tired of listening to it, but because the old man did have a set of stories to tell, Lin Huan couldn't help but look at the old man's soul when he heard half of it, so he had already finished reading the story.
"Good.. Okay, change one, change one!"
The old man drank a sip of water, moistened his throat, and said in his heart, why is this master so strange in front of him, he has told more than ten stories, and every time he has just told the highlights, this master will let him change the story.
"Isn't he curious about what's next?"
The old man muttered in his heart, but despite this, the old man still opened his mouth to tell the next story:
"It is said that back then, there was a murderous madman in the Western Continent of the world, this person killed countless people, and a bloody sword made it superb! Legend has it that all the one hundred and twenty-three cities of the five countries in the Western Continent were slaughtered by this person!"
"Blood Sword?!"
Lin Huan ate the steamed buns, looked at the old man incredulously, and listened carefully.
"Speaking of this person's blood sword, it is really invincible in the world, one sword out, thousands of miles into a bloody purgatory! Legend has it that this person used his own blood prison sword scripture, this move is half sword and half art, both the power of the sword and the power of the way, so many strong people at that time were helpless against this person, and they have become the soul of this person's sword!"
"Because of the countless murders, this man got a nickname,"
The red lotus saluted respectfully to the figure in the flames and said:
"Hall Master, I invited someone here, and he provided the medicinal materials from before. ”
The flames shook a little, and a slightly hoarse voice came from within:
"You are the Fanzhou mentioned by Red Lotus before... Cough.. The head of the parish is seriously injured and it is inconvenient for him to show up, so please don't be surprised. Cough.. Ahem.."
Fan Zhou raised his eyebrows in surprise, hurriedly hugged Xiaobai and bowed slightly, and said loudly: "Hall Master, you are polite, I have a request for you at this time, but it is inconvenient to salute, and I am afraid that you will misunderstand." ”
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, the master of this hall is not so particular.."
The hall master coughed a few more times and continued, "Red Lotus, you go out first. ”
Honglian was slightly stunned, but reacted very quickly, said yes and bowed and withdrew.
The footsteps faded away, and with a creak, the stone building fell silent again, except for the sound of flames flickering.
The hall master coughed a few more times and spoke:
"Fanzhou, the hall master needs the medicinal materials you provided last time... Cough.. And this little white dragon in your arms is just a huge loss of essence and blood, and the master of this hall will give you an elixir, and you can be cured by taking it. ”
"How does he know!"
Fan Zhou's heart was shocked when he heard this, his muscles tightened, his eyes stared at the figure in the flames, and his mouth pursed into a line.
"Hehe..."
The hall master chuckled a few times and said, "Don't be nervous, this hall master will not reveal your secrets." ”
Fan Zhou gritted his teeth and stared at the flames, his chest continued to rise and fall, and a layer of fine beads of sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead.
"This hall master can see Xiaobai's true body at a glance, and I am afraid that I can't imagine cultivation, so whether it is for Xiaobai or myself, I have no choice..."
Fan Zhou pondered for a while, and reluctantly said:
"Hall Master, your cultivation is unfathomable, what other medicinal materials do you need, just mention it, but please don't leak this matter, let you live in a safe corner of the lower area." ”
"You're not stupid." The hall master said with satisfaction.
"However, although the master of this hall is not the person who is trapped by secular prejudices, I still want to remind you that the two races of the human and demon clans are almost incompatible, and if you want to take this little white dragon to live secretly, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"
Fan Zhou nodded in agreement and said frankly:
"What you said makes sense, but there is no strength to rely on in the next, and there is no good way now. ”
"Hehe, as soon as you open your mouth, it's the truth, and the master of this hall likes it. ”
Fan Zhou shrugged his shoulders and said: "The disparity in strength is huge, and it is difficult not to tell the truth. ”
"Yes, yes, the hall master appreciates you more and more..."
The hall master laughed, followed by another cough, and it took a long time to calm down, and said, "In this way, you go and get the medicinal materials that the hall master needs, if it is done, the hall master will take you under the door to ensure that you and this little white dragon are worry-free." ”
"What if it doesn't work?"
Fan Zhou was not in a hurry to apprentice, and asked cautiously.
"You kid... If not, it will be difficult for the hall master to live, if you are willing to worship a dead master, you can do whatever you want!" the hall master said with a slight smile.
"Thank you, Master!"
After hearing this, Fan Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put Xiaobai down, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"That's it, the teacher is not interested in these vulgar rites, you leave Xiaobai behind, and call the red lotus to take care of her for a while, and you give her this medicine first. ”
As he spoke, a finger-sized red elixir flew out of the fire and stopped in front of Fan Zhou.
Fan Zhou took the medicine, and after feeding Xiaobai to take it, he did not leave immediately, but stared nervously on the side, and after a while, Xiaobai's face gradually became rosy, and his breathing became a lot stronger.
"Thank you, Master!"
Seeing this, Fan Zhou hurriedly thanked him.
"Excuse me, since you are relieved, go quickly, and call Honglian back by the way. ”
The hall master said lazily.
"Yes, Master. ”
After Fan Zhou saluted seriously, he hurriedly turned around and exited the stone room.
Pushing the door out of the stone building, a cold air hit, Fan Zhou rubbed his hands, and at a glance saw the red lotus standing in the snow not far away.
Petite and bright, like a wisp of cinnabar outlined on white porcelain.
"Are you done talking?"
Honglian walked over with a few gentle steps and asked.
"Hmm. ”
Fan Zhou nodded and said, "Master, he let you in." ”
"Master?"
Honglian frowned and repeated, puzzled, "What did you say?"
Fan Zhou shrugged his shoulders and explained, "It's the hall master just now! ”
"The master of Bizhuzi Hall has accepted you as an apprentice?!"
Honglian's voice suddenly rose eight degrees, covered her mouth lightly, her beautiful eyes were round, and she stared at Fan Zhou incredibly, and said, "How is it possible!"
"I don't know. ”
Fan Zhou smiled mysteriously, although he also felt that this master came a little suddenly, but he was also happy to see Honglian's shocked look now.
"You.. If you dare to lie to me, I will take your dog's life!"
Honglian pointed at Fan Zhou with a slender jade finger and threatened, stomped her feet fiercely, and hurriedly opened the door and entered the stone building.
"Just ask. ”
Fan Zhou muttered proudly, grinned, and walked in the direction he came.
Red Lotus's carriage was nowhere to be found, and Fan Zhou walked out according to his impression, and after a while, he lost his way.
"What can I do?"
Fan Zhou pinched his chin and pondered, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly found that not far away, two teenagers in uniform dressed in uniform happened to pass by, one tall and one short.
"Two... Division.. Senior brother?!"
Fan Zhou stepped forward a few steps, pondered for a moment, and shouted uncertainly.
The two teenagers looked at Fan Zhou in confusion, looked up and down, and the tall young man said suspiciously: "Who are you? Why do you call us senior brother?"
"I... I am a disciple who just joined Wanxian Hall today, my name is Fan Zhou, and Master asked me.."
Fan Zhou introduced himself, and was about to ask for directions, but was interrupted impatiently by the tall man.
"Don't come with me to do this! Fanzhou? Why haven't I heard of it! This year, the day when our Wanxian Hall recruited disciples has long passed, who are you trying to deceive? Tell me, who are you, why did you sneak into my Wanxian Hall!"
The tall Wanxian Hall disciple asked sharply, the Yuan Force in his body began to fluctuate, and a faint earthy yellow light lit up from all around his body, ready to make a move.
"Senior brother, slow down, I'm really a disciple of Wanxian Hall!"
Fan Zhou hurriedly organized it with his white hands, the red light flashed in his hand, took out the token of the red lotus, and said, "I don't believe you, this is the token that Senior Sister Red Lotus gave me!"
"Senior Sister Red Lotus?"
The two disciples squinted at the token in Fan Zhou's hand, and the short man whispered, "Senior Brother Wang, this seems to be really Senior Sister Red Lotus's token." ”
"You know shit, shut up!"
Senior Brother Wang reprimanded, did not disperse the exercises, turned to Fan Zhou and said: "Your token is really interesting, let me ask you, you said that you entered my Wanxian Hall today, but which uncle was accepted into the door?"
"That's right, it's the Bizhuzi Hall Master. ”
Fan Zhou put his mind at ease, since the other party recognized the token, as long as he reported his name, he would naturally not be misunderstood.
