Chapter 7 Departure Again
After a few months, he finally ushered in this first dart, Shang Lu didn't sleep all night with excitement, and the joy in his heart was indescribable, but the momentum he imagined was huge, but now he couldn't make a noise at all......
There were no dart carts, dart flags, and even slogans, so Shang Lu only called him to his house before the keel set off, and took out a sword that had been carefully collected in a sword case:
"The name of this sword is Qinglong, although it is not a divine blade, but it can also be called self-defense, I will hand it over to you now, be more careful on the road......"
"Thank you!"
The keel thanked him, took the sword with both hands, held the steel sheath in his hand, and gently pulled it out......
The cold light is faint and unusually sharp......
A coiled dragon is clearly carved and its eyes are distinct......
-- Indeed, it is a good sword......
"Boss, this sword...... But it's been a long time......"
"Oh? How do you know? β
"Master said, I seem to have a psychic ...... for swords since I was a child," the dragon bone said softly, "The first time I held a sword, I seemed to be able to see him galloping through the rivers and lakes, but it was only for a moment, and of course not every sword was ......."
"You're really talented...... Shang Lu praised......
"But this talent doesn't seem to be beneficial to the cultivation of swordsmanship...... "Dragon Bone shook his head with a smile, "My master said that in the future, when I am old and can't wield a sword, I can set up a stall for people to cut off the authenticity of antique weapons, so that I won't starve to death......"
"Haha......" Shang Lu also smiled, "But when it comes to this sword, it is indeed passed down by my ancestors, and it is also famous in this Jianye City, and it will be taken out to worship ...... every New Year's Festival."
"Huh?! Then I don't dare to use it! The keel hurriedly handed it back with both hands......
"Hey~!" Shang Lu shook his head, "Compared to the dart game handed down from this ancestor, what is this sword?" As long as you return safely, this dart game can be saved, and there is hope for reviving the family business in the future, which is the greatest use of this sword! β
The keel said a few more words, Shang Lu still didn't allow it, the keel nodded and took it, thinking that he must keep this sword properly, and after a while, Shang Lu seemed to think of something again, and took out a jade bracelet wrapped in a handkerchief from the drawer at hand:
"Also, you have this ...... too"
"This ......" Keel was stunned, he had never worn a bracelet when he was so old, "this is not necessary......"
"You take it first, see what is written on it?"
The keel took it, and the first feeling was that the tentacles were very light, but then look at the bracelet is really rough, the shape is not very round, and the green is messy, and even a circle of cracks can be seen on it, as for what Shang Lu said about the bracelet, the keel looked carefully, and saw the word "peace" carved crookedly on the inside of the bracelet......
"It's ......"
"Haha, this bracelet itself is not worth a few dollars, but there is a "peace" two sons written by me, the rules of the dart game, the dart master has to bring these two words when he goes out, I just remembered it last night, I will not embroider silk, let alone cast iron carving, I made this for you, you must bring it, if you feel that the body is not good to perform, I will hang it for you! β
As he spoke, Shang Lu took out a thin ribbon that seemed to have been prepared a long time ago, passed it through the bracelet, and the keel quickly lowered his head, and Shang Lu hung it firmly on his neck and put it in the innermost part of his clothes......
"Xie Dangjia's ......" keel hurriedly thanked him, feeling that the jade bracelet was a little cold, and soon became a wisp of warmth......
"Keel, what I said to you these days, you must remember that on the dart road, the picture is safe and fast, no matter how high your martial arts are, you should not be a hero on the road, and strive to go early and ......return early."
"Don't worry! I remember! The keel saluted Shang Lu with a fist......
Shang Lu nodded, sent the keel to the door of the dart bureau, the sky was clear today, the breeze was swaying, it was appropriate to go out, Shang Lu stood at the door, and dressed the keel again, before he saw him step down the stone steps and walk to the south of the city......
At this time, the Lingdu dart game ......
and only Shang Lu was left......
&&&&Keel......
&&&&&What can I give......
&&&&&It's all for you......
&&&&&οΏ½Come back safely......
Keel back tightened bag......
When I embarked on this journey, my mood was completely different from the last time I went down the mountain......
From aimless, to targeted......
From sleeping in the wilderness with nothing, to now traveling without worrying about food and clothing......
The dragon bone was extremely grateful to Shang Lu in his heart at this time, and silently told him to be more careful countless times......
I will go early and return early......
Person......
It's all like that......
When you meet noble people to help......
When you try your best to repay him......
What he is most afraid of is that he will encounter an accident or say goodbye......
This is true for outsiders, but what about relatives......
Lin'an is in the south of Jianye......
Keel hitched on the carriage, out of the city from the south gate, walked on the pass, the road was very smooth, and I didn't feel that time had flown by, and now I was in the west mountain......
At this time, the keel and his companions arrived at a town called "Cao Mountain", the town is not big, but because there is a post station here, the town is very lively, all kinds of small shops are gathered, although the sky is late, the business is still booming......
Keel looked up and saw that there was an inn not far in front of him, and he was walking to the door, and suddenly remembered that he was no longer the wanderer who wandered the world at this time, and Shang Lu had already told him about the rules of the dart game......
The keel thought in his heart, the footwork under his feet did not stop, he walked straight through the door, to the street in front of him, and then walked to the back of the inn, where there was a wall more than one person high, and then there were houses, and the keel along the way always paid attention to whether there were suspicious people watching, which seemed simple, but in fact, the keel felt as if there were people watching him in all the shadows:
ββIt's not easy to be a dart master......
The keel thought, walked back and forth like this for another week, and felt that there was nothing unusual, so he stepped to the door, and Xiao Er immediately came up to greet him:
"Guest officer, please! Are you a top player or a hotel? β
"Give me two side dishes of freshly fried meat and vegetables......," Keel replied, following Xiao Er to an empty wooden table. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Gotta ~! Add two side dishes! The man beckoned inside, and went down, but the keel was not busy sitting down, and walked out of the back door of the lobby, through the thick cotton curtain, only to see a three-zhang square yard, which was clean, and there was a woman sitting next to it, washing the vegetables leisurely......
She seemed to feel someone coming, and raised her head:
"Guest, you ...... Something? β
"Ah, it's not ......," the keel bowed, "It's the first time I've come to town, this shop has been open for a long time......"
"Hey, no!" The woman smiled and said, "I had it here when I was a child, whether it was the shopkeeper or not, the guys did their best to do things for him, the food tasted good, and the shop was clean, so it was so prosperous......
"Good ......" Keel nodded, chatted a few more words, and then returned to the lobby, gradually warmed up, found an inconspicuous table to sit down, and after a while, Xiao Er served the food:
"Guest, you're sitting here, come, your food! Please use it slowly! β
Keel nodded, leaned over to smell the rice bowl, and sniffed it......
Nothing out of the ordinary......
Keel picked up the chopsticks and ate the meal in one bite......
Maybe there was something on his mind, the keel didn't think how delicious this dish was, a cup of tea, the meal was down, the keel felt full of energy, turned his head to look out the window......
ββIt's almost night, so don't rush, just stay at this store......
The keel caressed his arms, and the innermost part of the body was the small box containing the night pearl, and after making sure that it was still there, he called Xiao Er:
"Open a room for me, it's not too expensive, and there's ......," Keel added, "Find the outermost one, I'm afraid of noisy ......"
"Gotta ~" Xiao Er replied, "Shopkeeper!" Put a corner of a vacant room! β
The keel followed Xiao Er to the second floor, and the account desk was at the staircase, and the shopkeeper nodded and greeted:
"You rest......"
Keel nodded in response, upstairs, is a long corridor, along the corridor to the inside, the north is full of guest rooms, the south in addition to the first few more expensive rooms, the last is a hall, leading to the attic, there are four square tables on the hall, the keel followed Xiao Er, at this time there is only one person sitting in the hall, with his back to himself, it seems to be a scholar's dress, there is a folding fan around his waist, a few tea sets in front of him, rising faint heat, the keel feels that the design of this inn is ingenious, downstairs is a hotel restaurant, lively and extraordinary, and up to the second floor, it is comfortable and quiet, you can meet friends with tea without disturbing the rest of the store......
"Your room!" Xiao Er pushed open a house diagonally opposite the attic and lit a candle, "Hello rest, say hello if you have something, be on call!" β
The keel stepped into the room, looked carefully for a week, and then nodded and thanked Xiao Er, who exited the room and closed the door for him......
The keel bolted the door, then returned to the table and sat down, put down the package, looked at the candle flame beating in front of him, and subconsciously stroked his chest, a curiosity struck, the keel took out the brocade box from his arms, and slowly opened it, the night pearl that seemed to be dull during the day, but at this time, a little bit of bright green light came out from the depths of the orb, like a green light, and like a blue wave constantly flowing:
-- It is indeed a rare treasure......
The dragon bone took the night pearl in his hand, and sighed in his heart, and suddenly there was a light sound, and the dragon bone frowned......
This kind of sound, ordinary people are not perceptible, but the keel is always on guard, he put away the night pearl, looked at the sound of the source, it turned out to be high on the edge of the window, there is a slowly crawling gecko......
-- The winter in the south is really warm, and there is such an animal......
Keel got up and walked to the window, gently pushed it open, this was the height of the town, Keel took a deep breath:
ββNow that I have a little early rest, I might as well go around the street and ask about the route and travel time tomorrow......
Thinking of this, the keel nodded, and wanted to close the window, but he saw the gecko looking at him, the keel raised his hand and tapped, the gecko dodged his hand and crawled out along the crack in the window, the keel closed the window, turned around and walked to the door, opened the latch, put his hand on the door and pulled, and the whole person suddenly froze......
This door has not moved at all......
