Chapter 25: Water Sleeves
The criss-crossing wrinkles on the old man's face seemed to be more profound in an instant, and he looked at Li Xuanxin, who was calm, and shook his head.
"Young people, a cicada with ideals, know how to lie dormant underground for several years or even more than ten years, rather than being born and can't wait to show their minions." The old man's voice sounded again, but now it was a little colder.
Li Xuanxin just smiled, still standing in place, and never answered. The old man shook his head again, and as if he knew that there would be no point in going on, he waved his hand, turned and walked around the corner of the alley.
When the figure was about to disappear, the old man's voice came again: "Young man, I hope you can be better luck than the cicada, and you will not meet someone like me who is difficult for the cicada." ”
Li Xuanxin moved his shoulders slightly, slowing down his body that suddenly became relaxed under the continuous pressure, he looked at the back of the old man who was far away, and turned around and walked in the direction he had been.
Li Xuan was puzzled and a little helpless when he suddenly met such an old man, he could naturally hear the strong hints and even threats in the old man's words, but this did not become a reason for him to cower.
Luodu is like a very deep, but very calm lake on the surface, there are many strange people and monsters in this lake, and any drop of water blended into this lake may surprise a few evil Jiao.
After walking along the gray-black street for half an hour, a mansion covering a fairly large area appeared in front of me, and there was no statue of a strange beast in the town house before, not only that, but even the plaque on the gate indicating the identity was also absent.
Only next to the stone steps of the third floor in front of the door, there is a stone stele, on which is also written the three words of the Heavenly Master Dao crookedly, but in the lower right corner, the word 'lower courtyard' is added.
Li Xuanxin just paused for a moment, then stepped up the stone steps, his right hand pressed on the door, slightly forced, as if he had pushed the door open countless times as usual.
This time, however, the door was not opened!
Until he used more force, and even mobilized the true yuan in the sea of qi a little, this door was still immovable, Li Xuanxin finally smiled bitterly, thinking of what Luo An said to himself with a helpless face when he came, Li Xuanxin could only sigh and sit on the spot.
The cultivation of the True Realm has relatively high requirements for exercises and external factors, and the efficiency of meditating and absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth is naturally too slow, but for Li Xuanxin, even the slightest time is not willing to delay.
Time passed little by little, and three hours later, at the same time as the door creaked open, Li Xuanxin just opened his closed eyes.
Li Xuanxin sat cross-legged on the ground, looking up at the woman in front of him who was of medium stature and had jet-black braids hanging down to her hips at the back of her head, and couldn't help but feel amazed.
Whether it is the eyebrows, eyes, nose, or mouth, this woman looks extremely ordinary everywhere, but when put together, it naturally makes people feel perfect.
Different from the alternative delicacy on Boyi's face, Shen Wan's delicate and graceful demeanor, this woman gives people a feeling of vitality, and the ponytail behind her adds a sense of differentiation to her.
The woman also stared at Li Xuanxin with a pair of eyes, and after a while, she frowned slightly and said, "You are Senior Brother Li Xuanxin?" My name is Shui Sleeve, I am your senior sister, Senior Brother Luo An has already sent a message to me, and you came three hours later than the agreed time. ”
"I've been waiting for you in the courtyard for three more hours, so I've asked you to wait here for three hours, and now it's just the right time, so you can come in with me."
After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the courtyard, Li Xuanxin stood up, and smiled helplessly again, this senior sister with water sleeves is really as Luo An said, she is extremely serious, well, and a little bit of a scorn will be repaid.
Stepping into the courtyard, there is not much difference from the general mansion, the rockery and flowing water inside, the scenery and the street outside the courtyard appear more vivid.
Follow the ponytail sleeve in front of him and continue to walk in, until after three entrances, he stopped in a quiet courtyard, but there were no flowers and plants in this courtyard, but there was a small pavilion in the middle, and there was a stone platform and several stone benches in the pavilion.
The water sleeve motioned for Li Xuanxin to follow, then stroked the elegant green shirt on his body, and sat down in front of the stone platform in the pavilion.
After seeing Li Xuanxin sit down, Shui Sleeve cleared his throat and said seriously: "My Heavenly Master Dao is in Luodu for fifty miles, a total of one array eye, three streets, seven alleys, the array eye is in charge of Senior Brother Luo'an, and I am responsible for the three streets, and there is also a Senior Brother Tian in Luodu among our peers, three of which are in charge of him, and several other senior brothers are out to travel. ”
"As for the remaining four alleys, they were originally rented to others and charged a fixed amount of Luo Luo Zhu every month, but now that you have started, junior brother, you should enjoy the benefits and bear the obligations, but after all, the junior brother is only refining the true realm, so he will be in charge of Pear Blossom Lane for the time being."
After a pause, Shui Sleeve looked at Li Xuanxin, and said with an extremely serious expression: "This is also what Uncle Lin and a few elders mean!" ”
Li Xuanxin nodded, Luo An had told him these as early as when he went down the mountain, but at this time, when he heard this senior sister of the water sleeve say it again, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Shui Sleeve was on the side, and said again with a serious face: "In the courtyard here, Senior Brother Li, you can find a courtyard to live in, the ones with names are those that several senior brothers have already lived in, and those without names are empty." ”
Seeing Li Xuanxin nodding again, Shui Sleeve pursed his lips tightly, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the stone platform on the side, spread it in front of him, and then sat upright.
Li Xuanxin was a little unclear when he saw this, but when he saw that Shui Sleeve didn't speak again, he also sat silently on the stone bench and didn't say a word.
After a while, Shui Sleeve frowned, looked up at Li Xuanxin, his eyes seemed a little strange, but he seemed to think of something, so he sat upright again.
About half an hour later, Shui Sleeve's eyebrows frowned tightly, looked at Li Xuanxin, and said: "Senior Brother Li, Senior Uncle Lin and Senior Brother Luo'an both sent a message to me, saying that you have some things that you need my help with, don't be restrained, please make it clear, I will write them down one by one and solve them as soon as possible." ”
Li Xuanxin was a little stunned, he had something to know, and he had wanted to ask for a long time, but when he saw Shui Sleeve take out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he looked extremely serious, and seemed to have something very important, so he didn't bother.
After calming down the embarrassment in his heart, Li Xuanxin arched his hand at the water sleeve and said: "I heard that Luodu has a refining list, which includes the elite children of the six factions and the major families, lists thirty people, and asks the senior sister to inform the whereabouts of these thirty people." ”
"What's the use?" Water Sleeve raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Naturally, we have to challenge the past one by one!" Li Xuanxin said seriously.
