Chapter 4: The Big Men of the Future
"Hey...... I've heard rumors, too. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" The pawnshop shopkeeper smiled.
Bai Qi nodded, thinking to himself, sure enough, I'll just say, how can there be such an outrageous thing in this world?
"But...... I have personally seen an adult of the Xuandu Sect, and with a snap of his fingers, he summoned countless crows, croaking and croaking, forming a hovering bird ladder more than 100 zhang high, straight up to the clouds! That scene is truly unforgettable! There were a few people who saw it with me, and one of them was a painter who also drew the scene, and you see, that is the picture hanging on my main hall. ā
When Bai Qi heard this, he turned his head to look.
I saw that in the main hall behind the pawnshop counter, there was indeed an ink painting hanging, and the style was more documentary.
The painting first shows the blue sky and white clouds, the field of vision is broad, and then the black dots form a spiral, spiraling like a ladder like clouds, take a closer look, those black dots are black birds, and a man who does not know whether it is a man or a woman's back, long hair fluttering, stepping on the bird ladder, step by step towards the clouds.
That artist is a comic! How could this happen? This is not scientific, Bai Qi still remains skeptical.
"By the way, I heard that the Xuandu Sect is holding an introductory selection test this month, it seems that Brother Bai, the big man you met is very likely to come to select people and accept apprentices in person, Brother Bai, you are really a genius, and you can enter the eyes of this kind of big man." The pawnshop shopkeeper exclaimed, and patted Bai Qi's ass without a trace.
"Yes, maybe." Bai Qi couldn't help but think back to the old beggar, except for the weirdness of his behavior, he really couldn't tell what kind of character he was.
I guess that old man is a thief, otherwise where did he come from? It seems that the cycle of heavenly dao, karma, and repeated attempts have finally fallen into my hands.
"Brother White." The pawnshop shopkeeper stared at Bai Qi and hesitated for a while, rubbed his palms together with his hands, and said cautiously: "Look, you are now favored by the Xuandu Sect, this is a very great event, or I will go to say hello to the village chief first, and then we will work together to hold a farewell banquet for you, what do you think?" ā
"Well, no need, my old father is waiting for me at the entrance of the village, I'd better pack up and leave quickly." Bai Qi didn't think about it, and decisively refused.
What are you kidding, that beggar old man may be looking for me all over the world, and you will hold a banquet with the whole village, for fear that the old man will not find me, right?
If I had found the old man, wouldn't the matter have been revealed? So how am I going to mess around? That's not going to work.
"Huh? The adults of the Xuandu Sect are at the entrance of the village? Can I accompany you to meet you? The pawnshop shopkeeper suddenly became excited, his face turned red, but before Bai Qi could find an excuse to refuse, his mood changed sharply, and he said in a gloomy tone: "Forget it, I'm a civilian, how dare I disturb this lord of the Xuandu Sect." ā
Bai Qi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly thought of something, rolled his eyes, and said seemingly casually: "Don't worry, when I return from my studies, I will definitely sit with you when I come back, but ......"
"But what?"
When the pawnshop shopkeeper heard Bai Qi say this, he was excited again, and thought: I can't see the big man of the Xuandu Sect now, but when this little brother of Bai Qi worships the Xuandu Sect, in a few years, won't he become a big man? If you come back to sit here by yourself, then you will have a lot of light on your face! How majestic!
"I won't tell the shopkeeper that I have been in the village all these years, and you know that I am an orphan who has nothing, and now I am lucky to be favored by the master and his old man, and I am included in the door wall, which can be regarded as a blessing for three lives...... But when I go, I have to have some entanglement or something, even if I can't take out something to honor my master and his old man, but I can't rely on my master and him for everything, right? Alas, sorrowful. Bai Qi showed a sad expression and shook his head helplessly.
"Hey! What should I be, this is a trivial matter, come on, go and fetch me ten taels of silver! The pawnshop shopkeeper slapped the table and ordered to the guy on the side.
"Shopkeeper! What are you doing here? Bai Qi pretended to be shocked on his face, but his heart was actually happy.
"It's nothing, I've been doing business all these years, except for some spare money, there's nothing else, Brother Bai, you go on this trip, the road is far away, how can you do it without some money on you?" After the pawnshop shopkeeper finished speaking, seeing that Bai Qi was about to say something, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Bai, don't refuse, this is my little care, you must accept it!" ā
"But ......"
"Nothing, so be it, yes! I remembered, I also have a rare collection of rare things, Brother Bai, you are waiting here, I will pick it up for you, and you can take it to your master as a meeting gift! ā
After the pawnshop shopkeeper finished speaking, he got up and walked into the counter and went to the inner hall.
Looking at the pawnshop shopkeeper's impatient back, Bai Qi couldn't help but praise him fiercely in his heart.
Good guys!
After a while, on the tea table beside Bai Qi, there was a bulging silk money bag, and there was a chic wooden box next to it, which contained a water purification bead, which was said to be able to turn sewage into drinking water, and it could also be held in the mouth, which could be kept for three quarters of an hour without breathing, which was also a treasure.
"Shopkeeper, these things are too valuable, I can't afford it."
Although Bai Qi verbally refused, he couldn't stop playing with the normal egg-sized, pure white water beads in his hands.
"Huh! It's all outside the body, nothing valuable......"
The corner of the pawnshopkeeper's eyes kept falling on the water purification beads, and his heart ached.
This is a treasure that I have spent a lot of effort and money to find...... However, if you can't bear the child, you can't trap the wolf! Compared to the big figures of Xuandu Sect in the future, what can this thing be counted?
Thinking of this, the pawnshop shopkeeper tried his best to retract his gaze, and said with a forced smile: "You can take it, Brother Bai, as long as you are developed in the future, don't forget that I will be." ā
"Of course! Since this is the case, I will not delay any longer, so let's set off, for fear that the master will be in a hurry. ā
After Bai Qi finished speaking, he got up, took the money bag, and put the water purification beads back into the wooden box, and put them in his arms together.
"Okay! I have ordered someone to prepare a horse for you at the door, this trip is far away, Brother Bai, you can ride it to travel. The pawnshop shopkeeper got up and said.
"I don't thank you for my great kindness, when I return from my studies in the future, I will return a hundred times what the shopkeeper gave me today."
Bai Qi walked to the door and found that there was indeed a snow-white horse with a saddle at the door of the store, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, thinking that he had ridden a horse when he traveled to other places in his previous life, but he had never seen such a tall and handsome horse, and he didn't know if he could ride it or not.
"This horse is very well-behaved and has good stamina, which should save you some time on the road, brother."
"Thank you."
Under the watchful eye of the pawnshop shopkeeper, Bai Qi stiffened, stepped on the saddle and turned over on the horse, and then did not move for a long time, feeling the pawnshop shopkeeper's gradually puzzled gaze, Bai Qi smiled far-fetched and said, "Then say goodbye." ā
"Farewell!" The pawnshop shopkeeper said, arching his hand.
"Good ......"
How is this horse going to ride?
When I went to travel in my previous life, there were people in front of the horse, so why don't you go now? It's embarrassing...... Think about it, how is it written in the novel...... Looks like you're going to take off the ass?
Bai Qi took out the whip from the saddle with some uncertainty, hesitated for a moment, slapped the horse's fart with his backhand, and shouted: "Drive!" ā
Syllable~
The whip snapped, and with a crisp sound, the white horse roared, and his front hooves slashed into the ground, and then sprinted out violently.
"It's not a big man in the future, this horseback riding posture is really handsome!"
The pawnshop shopkeeper looked at Bai Qi's departing back and sighed.
On horseback, Bai Qi even wanted to die, and he was holding on to the reins with both hands, not daring to let go at all.
Damn it! How do you control the speed of this horse? For the hair no low-to-medium speed button? Also, how to brake? That's a bit fast!
Wherever the horse passed, pedestrians avoided one after another, causing a burst of shouting and scolding.
"Stinky boy! Stop! ā
At this time, Bai Qi, who was thinking about how to make the horse stop, heard a familiar voice, looked back, and found that the crazy old man was running after the horse.
"Haha! Old man! Don't dream! ā
After saying that, Bai Qi didn't care about the brakes or anything, and gave the fart another whip with his backhand.
Syllable!
"Eat the ashes! Ha ha! ā
The white horse was in pain, and once again sped up his speed, and immediately distanced himself from Wen Taibai, who was chasing after him, and ran out of the village along the street in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the back of the dusty all the way, Wen Taibai did not catch up immediately, but was shocked.
"Damn it! Why did this stinky boy suddenly have a horse? It's over, this kid can't have already sold the tokens, right?! No, I have to get the token back first, and then I'll trouble this kid! ā
