Chapter 17: The Legendary Sword
Lin Xi held this "Geography of Zezhou" in his hand and watched it with relish, the caravan entered the territory of Zezhou just yesterday, Taosang City is in the northeast of Zezhou, and there is still a week to go. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At the end of October, it was late autumn, and the autumn wind swirled to push open the corner of the curtain and blow an oval-shaped withered yellow leaf onto the book. Rubbing his somewhat sour eyes, Lin Xi put down the book in his hand, hung up the slightly swaying curtain, felt the slightest coolness brought by the wind on his cheeks, and swept away the slight sleepiness caused by reading.
It was already half an afternoon, and there were still about three hundred kilometers to go to the next city, and at the speed of the beasts, it would take less than two hours to get there.
Looking out of the window, rows of withered yellow trees with a few green leaves quickly disappeared from view, and there was only time to see that a few birds that seemed to be staying on the side of the road were startled by the convoy and flew into the woods to hide.
Maybe it's almost to the next city, and this road has always been peaceful, the caravan guys' tense muscles have also relaxed, and there are smiles on their faces, and a few people who are close to discuss which restaurant to go to to reward themselves, which one sells well to bring back some to the wives and children at home, the team leader let these people talk and laugh, and only walked in the front to lead the procession.
At the beginning of the day, the caravan drove into Los Angeles and parked its goods and wagons in rented warehouses, where it was to stay for two days, and they had a fixed place to stay, so they had to go to the city to find a place to stay.
I knew from the caravan that the more affordable inn in the city was on Orange Street, and the couple surnamed Su, who happened to be traveling together, also got off the carriage at this time and walked together for nearly two months, and they were also acquaintances, so Lin Xi invited the couple to go along.
Fortunately, not far from Orange Street, I asked two passers-by, bypassed the hot blacksmith shop, and the group stood at the entrance of Orange Street.
This street is known as oranges but there is no fruit shop, and it is full of restaurants and inns, and it is full of travelers in a hurry.
Occasionally, a few red-faced local diners got into their own carriages or sedan chairs and left satisfied.
After crossing the whole street, I finally found a relatively clean inn at the end of the street, Penglaiju, both the signboard and the lobby were polished, and I won the favor of several people at once, and I chose to live in this inn.
There were more than a dozen tables in the hall on the first floor, and a few young men were wiping the tables when it was almost time to order, and one of them, who looked steady, came up to greet them. The shopkeeper is a middle-aged uncle who looks very kind, when he saw that so many guests came, there was only a slit left in his smiling eyes, he waved away the guy who came forward, and ran out from behind the counter to entertain, the business on this street looks good, is this boss so enthusiastic.
After sitting in the car for dozens of days, no matter how comfortable it is, I can't stand it, my whole body is sore, and a few people can't take care of it so much, so I took out the money bag and let the shopkeeper open three upper rooms, my grandmother and Lin Zhi live in one according to the old practice, I live in one with Xiaolan, and the couple surnamed Su live in the last room.
He asked the guy to send two buckets of hot water to each room, took a hot shower comfortably, ordered dinner at the inn to be delivered to the room, and endured the sleepiness to finish dinner, Lin Xi couldn't bear it anymore, and fell asleep on the bed.
The next day, he slept until almost noon, and Lin Xi woke up at the sound of Xiaolan opening the door.
After washing, I called my grandmother and Lin Zhi to go to dinner together, only then did I know that the couple surnamed Su got up early to go shopping, and it was estimated that they would not come back until the afternoon.
The family asked for some exquisite dishes from a nearby restaurant to comfort their stomachs for two months, such as goldfish preserved eggs, sweet and sour pork ribs, squirrel osmanthus fish, and shredded apples, and each person was full after eating only a small bowl of rice. After eating, a few people discussed going out for a walk, it is said that the clothes here are very famous, Lin Zhi This child has no sense of clothes, and would rather practice in the room, grandma thinks shopping is too tired, and finally Xiaolan and Lin Xi are on the street.
The clothing here has been famous for a long time, and there is a neon dress street in the center of the city, which is a clothing street that specializes in clothes.
Women can't walk when they see beautiful clothes, it doesn't matter whether humans or monsters, in a clothing store, Lin Xi saw a human mortal young girl fighting with a bewitching and sexy banshee for a beaded skirt, the banshee didn't use any spells, the two women were completely fighting for the skirt with brute force, the demon clan has always been known for its strength, and finally ended with the banshee successfully winning the skirt.
After watching the excitement, the two people also carried large and small boxes to squeeze out of the crowd, found a place where no one was around, put the boxes in the storage bag, and walked around with great interest.
Thinking that there were still hundreds of various talismans, the two found a talisman shop to sell, and bought a few stacks of blank talisman paper, and there were 70,000 taels left after deducting the paper money, which was the most rewarding one.
I found the Baicaotang branch in the city again, and bought some low-level spirit grass for Lin Zhi, and after spending everything, there were only 40,000 taels in the money bag.
It was not early, and the two of them saw that they had bought all the things, so they rushed back to the inn with two packs of freshly baked snacks.
When passing by the blacksmith shop, I saw a wooden barrel in front of the door, in which more than a dozen dusty swords were inserted, and a piece of paper was pasted on the wall behind the barrel, "Low price processing, ten taels and one handles", when Lin Xi walked by the barrel, a rusty short sword in the barrel suddenly jumped out and drilled straight into Lin Xi's arms, so frightened that she took several steps back before catching this strange sword. Lin Xi had no intention of buying a sword, but as soon as he put the short sword into the barrel, it jumped into his arms again. After repeating this several times, Lin Xi had no choice but to pay for this sword. Xiaolan said that in general, the sword that can choose the master independently should have a sword spirit in it, so it is not a loss to buy this sword at this point.
Back in the room of the inn, Lin Xi showed the sword to Xiaolan, and got an unbelievable answer.
Such an unsightly sword is actually the demon-slaying sword used by the human race on the battlefield in ancient times! It is said that this immortal is holding a demon sword, killing all sides on the battlefield, is the most feared person of the demon emperor, as long as any demon soldier is cut by the demon sword, even the soul is burned out, turned into a burst of black smoke, and then disappears, even the demon emperor who almost unified the continent can not resist, and finally dies under this demon sword.
It is said that this sword disappeared with its owner after the Great War, and someone who searched for it for many years and didn't find it, but he didn't expect it to appear in a small city, and he chose you.
Xiaolan said again, "The sword you see now is not the appearance of the sword itself, you have to peel off the outer layer of rust to see the appearance of the sword itself, but it is better for you to keep it as it is now, this layer of artificial rust on the outside can block the coercion of the sword itself, once the coercion generated by peeling off the rust attracts other immortal cultivators, we can't deal with it now, and the coercion is too great, with your current body can't bear it." ”
