Chapter 9 Candlelight Night Talk
He hadn't really fought against people for a long time, and at this time, the keel felt that his whole body was full of breath, and he couldn't wait to run for a while, but the road was too close, and he had returned to the inn with only a cup of tea......
Looking up, the inn was almost unlit at this time, and the keel stepped in from the main entrance, only to see the shopkeeper look up and whisper hello to him, stretch out his hand to wake up the shopkeeper who was napping next to him, and then continue to settle accounts by candlelight......
After a battle that was not fierce just now, it was almost the second shift, the lobby was already quiet, the guys had also packed up the tables, chairs and benches, where the candle flame could not shine, the whole was not in the dark, Xiao Er was holding the lamp in front, the keel was behind him, the two of them walked up the stairs softly, in the faint candlelight, walking in the dark corridor......
The keel passed by the attic, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a figure standing by the wide window, looking up at the starry sky, as if thinking about something......
"Okay, hard work, you go down......" The dragon bone whispered to Xiao Er, Xiao Er nodded in response, and the footsteps faded away with the candlelight......
"Waiting......" Keel whispered......
The young man was stunned and looked back:
"Did you fly back? So fast! The young man said with a smile, "With such skills, the world really hides the dragon and crouching tiger......"
Keel was a little surprised, because his voice, if not in this otherwise quiet environment, was a little too loud......
"What? Am I too loud? Shaoxia shook his head, "It's okay, I set up an enchantment here, and others can't hear us, and of course, I can't see our people now......"
Keel nodded......
"Under the keel, dare to ask Mr. Honorable Name!" Keel asked, clasping his hands into fists......
"My surname is Su Mingmu...... Su Mu replied......
"Su Shaoxia is really a master in the world, and I admire this method very much tonight......" Dragon Bone said sincerely......
"Where is the ......" Su Mu shook his head vigorously, "Xiao Ke is a scholar, but you are not a master, you are not only light and famous, but also swordsmanship, tonight I am really a class axe, I don't know where Long Shaoxia is from?" ”
"Apprentice to the Lingxu Peak ......of Kunlun Mountain," the dragon bone replied, "The master did not establish a faction, only took his family to settle down in the local area, and it was also accidental ......to accept me as an apprentice."
"Kunlun Mountain ......" Su Mu thought for a moment, "hidden in such a wild place in the extreme north, and with such skills, he must be an immortal master...... However, your name is quite distinctive, and it was given to you by your master? ”
"It's ......" the dragon bone nodded, "I'm an orphan, when the master found me, there was a huge skeleton of a fierce beast beside me, and it also shielded me from a lot of wind and snow, so he gave me this name, dare to ask Su Shaoxia what sect he belongs to?" ”
"I don't have a sect either, we are really fateful, haha, sit down and say......" Su Mu smiled slightly, pointed to the square table next to him, the two sat opposite the table, made a pot of tea, Su Mu himself took a sip first:
"My master is a "wandering" Taoist, he has not married a wife and had children, so he has no fixed place for his life, there are two apprentices, my sister and I have been taking us around to practice, but we are also free......"
"I don't know how noble the master is?"
"The world calls it a great ......awakening," Su Mu replied respectfully......
In fact, the dragon bone is not familiar with the Central Plains martial arts, one of them has been too far away since he was a child, and the other is that his master has never mentioned him too much. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Dragon Bone learned the Central Plains Rites from the master, and knew how to start and end the communication with people in the rivers and lakes, but to say whose name he had really heard, that is, the first few in the star list and the particularly famous heroes that the master said, but he also knew that the title of "Great Jue" was really an honorific title for a person who was extremely high in Taoism, and wanted to see his apprentice Su Mu already like this, and the dragon bone must be very famous when he heard it......
"Long admired the ...... of the great name" keel hugged his fist, "sure enough, the famous teacher is a high apprentice......"
"I'm still too far away...... Su Mu shook his head with a smile, "I heard you say that you have been an orphan since you were a child, and you came all the way from Kunlun to find your relatives, what clues do you have at present?" ”
"Master said that at that time, I didn't have any items on my body that marked my identity, only a broken sword......" Keel took a sip of tea, "He spent seven days and seven nights thoroughly inspecting the entire Kunlun Ice Field, and visited the residents, but no one knew where I came from, except for my mother, who unfortunately passed away, there was no trace of my relatives...... So now there are no clues......"
"Oh......" Su Mu nodded, "Then why did you go to the dart game again?" ”
"I came down the mountain last year, all the way to the east, because I didn't guard against the villain, resulting in the loss of the entanglement, and because of a moment of negligence by the traitor in the body of the poison, distressed, almost frozen to death in the wilderness, fortunately the Lingdu dart bureau shopkeeper rescued me in time, I will repay the ......"
"Affectionate and righteous...... Su Mu picked up the teacup, "Then let me replace the wine with tea...... A toast to you......"
"Please ......" the two of them took a sip at the same time, "Su Shaoxia, I have doubts and still give advice, how do you tell that I am a dart master?" ”
"There are three requirements for entering the store, which should be regarded as the rule of the dart master......" Su Mu smiled slightly, "You have to inspect outside the store, you have to inspect the store, and you have to smell the food before you taste it, right...... Besides, you want the most marginal room, I think you are afraid of being attacked by thieves left and right, and then you observe the surrounding scenes, I will basically conclude that you are a dart master......"
"That's it......" The dragon bone nodded sincerely, realizing that he had covered up so much, but he still couldn't escape his eyes, but ......
"Do you observe everyone like that?" Keel asked, "Could it be that you are a local catcher?" ”
"Hahaha......" Su Mu smiled and shook his head, "Like Master, I also like to live a comfortable life, where can I stand the control of those three classes of officials?" When it comes to what to live by, I travel all over the world, relying on a little divination, and then helping people exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, so as to make a living......"
"I see, then why are you observing me so carefully?" Keel asked curiously......
"A few days ago, I happened to come here, and I saw a ghost haunting, it was a few ......people tonight," Su Mu said, "so I stared at them, to see what they were trying to do, they have been here for several days, and they have not moved, but today they suddenly began to move around, ambushed outside the two inns in the town, and finally gathered here, it seems that they must be going to kill people and plunder goods, I carefully observed everyone in the inn, who may be carrying heavy objects, only you, the dart master, want to secretly protect you, prevent you from being killed, Sure enough......"
The keel was relieved and clenched his fists:
"Thank you for your kindness......"
"I'm really a frog at the bottom of the well......," Su Mu said with a smile, "I knew that your martial arts were so good, why did I need to trap you in the room?" But how do you know how to break my spell? ”
"This kind of imprisoned spell, either with a spell spell, or the spellcaster casts a spell close to the left to form a formation, the former I didn't feel the power of the spell, so I concluded that it was the latter, then just interrupt you to cast the spell ......"
"You know it's a lot...... Su Mu nodded in admiration, "Who is your master?" ”
"Respect for the teacher Guan He ......"
"Guan He......" Su Mu shook his head, "Your swordsmanship was taught by him?" ”
"Exactly ......"
"I'm curious, how do you cultivate in that extremely cold and snowy mountain?"
"There are many birds and beasts in the snowfield, often strong and powerful, after I learned a set of swordsmanship, I will be ......"
In this way, the two people who met in Pingshui quickly got acquainted with each other for some reason, and they talked happily......
The keel has never had friends of the same age, and he has always been silent, he gradually revealed his heart at this time, saying a lot of things about his practice in Kunlun, and then speaking of the Central Plains rivers and lakes, although Su Mu has not walked for too long, but after all, it is longer than the keel, so on the question of the keel, he said everything he knew, which can be described as a big talk, of course, these are only known by Su Mu, and it is inevitable that there are true and false......
Su Mu talked more about his own travels, during which it was naturally indispensable to show the keel his various strange magic weapons, such as where to get such a weapon, how to use it to exorcise ghosts, how to obtain that magic weapon, how to use it to divination, the dragon bone also came to the interest, took out the broken sword and let Su Mu see if he could find clues, Su Mu began to swear, all kinds of magic weapons took out a bunch, but after a while, he scratched his ears and cheeks, and was at a loss, and the dragon bone did not report much hope, and he didn't care at this time......
"Has this sword always been like this?" Su Mu looked at the rugged fracture and the sluggish blade......
"Yes......" Dragonbone nodded, "this sword is extremely hard, I simply don't have anything to break it......"
"I really haven't seen this material...... Su Mu shook his head, "Is there anything else new about it?" ”
"Yes!" The dragon bone nodded, held the remnant sword in his hand, closed his eyes and silently recited something......
The remnant sword actually lit up with fire......
"Wow......" Su Mu opened his mouth wide......
The keel opened his eyes and brought it to Su Mu:
"Do you have the guts to touch it......"
"Huh?!" Su Mu blinked, and saw that the dragon bone had a very proud expression......
Su Mu raised his hand and slowly approached the beating firelight......
Until the flames passed through his hand, Su Mu didn't feel the slightest burning sensation......
"This ......" Su Mu finally held his whole hand on the remnant sword, "This fire, what...... Tangible and godless? ”
"Exactly, my master said the same......" The keel opened his hand, the fire on the remnant sword disappeared immediately, and Su Mu slowly put down the remnant sword:
"This sword is indeed a rare artifact in the world......"
"But this appearance is too far from the artifact......" The dragon bone shook his head with a smile and took it back in his hand, "And since my master gave it to me, its only use for me is to use it as a hammer, don't you say, it's really very good!" Until one day I occasionally light it up, and when there is no torch, it can be used as a lamp, and see, it can be even brighter......"
The keel held the sword, still silently chanting in his mouth, the sudden light made Su Mu dare not look directly, the light flashed, and the surroundings fell into darkness again, Su Mu seemed to be a little tired when he saw the keel......
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay......" the dragon bone smiled, "every time I urge it, the longer it takes, the more troublesome it becomes, but no matter how magnificent and bright this fire is, it can't hurt people at all, and it's not sharp, so I never use it......"
"In fact, all magic weapons are like this, and they need to be cultivated internally to ......"
Facing this remnant sword, the two of them talked about the inner strength of the heart, although the two practice can be described as very different, but I feel that there are a lot of similarities, the more we talk, the more energetic, unconsciously, the night has passed three watches, both of them have changed from sitting to half-lying, Su Mu's upper body is close to the wall behind him:
"Whew......" Su Mu took a breath, "I feel like I haven't said so many words in a long time!" Haha......"
"Me too!" The keel felt the moonlight leaking in through the window, smiled and looked up, the moon was about to ......
"Keel...... Will you continue your journey to Lin'an tomorrow? ”
"Hmmm......"
"You have to be careful, I don't think these weirdos are like the night pearls of you, I think they just want your life......" Su Mu said with concern......
Keel nodded, as if he already knew......
"It's really rare for so many weirdos to dare to chase down people and loot goods in town, but what tricky enemies have you encountered?"
"I just entered the Central Plains, where is there any enemy......" Keel shook his head, "It must be a feud with my dart game......
Su Mu shook his head slightly:
"Dart game...... Generally speaking, it is the most taboo to make enemies with people, are you sure? ”
"Remember when I was in the woods and asked you, can those people recover? Because one of them has a relationship with me......"
"Huh?"
"He is a dart master of the Yunxing Dart Bureau......"
"Yunxing Dart Bureau...... Su Mu muttered, "Then I've heard of it, it's the largest dart game in the neighborhood, standing in Jianye, developing very fast, and now it can be said to be famous, business is popular, how can it be...... Raising these? ”
"I have no way of knowing......" Keel lowered his voice, "but I know that they have a deep dislike for the Lingdu Dart Bureau, and they have been harassing the dart master last year, and even killed the killer, the dart master of the Lingdu Dart Bureau is either killed or injured, or missing, and some of the people who come back are also crippled and crazy, so that now the Lingdu Dart Bureau, there is only one person left in charge......"
Speaking of this, the keel faced Su Mu, and sat upright again:
"Su Mu, you and I met today because of fate, if you can do me a favor, I will thank him for ...... day."
They are all at the age of blood and strength, Su Mu didn't think about it, got up and sat upright, and clenched his fists:
"Just say it! I'll help you! ”
"I want to bother you to go to the Lingdu Dart Bureau tomorrow, and before I come back, the treasurer of the protector ......" Keel said, "It turns out that they all attacked the dart master, and they always succeeded at that time, but this time they failed to stop me, I am afraid that they will turn to the disadvantage of the master......"
"Don't worry!" Su Mu replied loudly, "I'll leave for Jianye early tomorrow morning, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone touch a single hair of your shopkeeper!" ”
"Thank you here!" The keel saluted Su Mu with a fist......
"Why are you talking about this...... Su Mu hurriedly said, "It's hard to meet a confidant in life, but I think of one thing......"
"What?"
"It may be that I am too ......careful," Su Mu said softly, "Yunxing is not only against your dart game, but also has used so many despicable means, I think, if I protect the merchant shopkeeper this time, will they turn to your dart employer, so that even if you send the Night Pearl, I am afraid that things will have ......twists and turns after you come back."
"That's right!" The keel seemed to wake up like a dream, and nodded hurriedly, "Su Mu, you think really thoughtfully!" It's possible! My trip is the only business of the Lingdu Dart Bureau, the employer is Jianye City Lin Xiuming Lin Master, I went to his house last time, I feel like there are ghosts haunted, I think it is likely to be related to Yunxing, but I haven't had time to investigate in depth, you say this I feel that the world is really complicated......"
"Is there such a thing? Ha ha! You can rest assured! Wrap it up on me! I'll check it for you! Su Mu slapped his chest hard, and the keel looked at Su Mu's proud appearance, and quickly said:
"If there is a real evil spirit, please be careful, don't act rashly, but wait until I come back to make a decision......"
"Hahahaha......" Su Mu laughed, "You don't have to worry about this at all, and you don't want to think about what I rely on for food?!" ”
"You! ......" Keel retracted his smile and frowned......
"Okay...... good" Looking at the expression of the dragon bone, Su Mu hurriedly nodded, "I will carefully investigate first, if the other party's ability is not strong, even if I help the Lin Mansion to exorcise the demon once, if I find that I really don't have that ability, don't worry, I will not take the risk...... I promise you! ”
As he spoke, Su Mu raised his hand, and the keel relaxed again, and said softly:
"Thank you ...... enough"
"What are you grateful for, what is the Lin ......family that should be grateful to me?"
The two chatted for a while, and the night deepened, so they went back to their rooms to rest......
Early the next morning, the two were at the door of the inn and said goodbye......
"Be careful all the way!" Su Mu instructed......
"Take care, please......" Keel bowed to Su Mu......
