Chapter 8: The Inn Has Golden Scales (1)
There is a town outside of Ziyun, named Furong, and there is a Jinlin Inn in the town. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Although this inn has a strange name, it is very famous in this Furong town. About this inn, there are many legends in the town, through Dou Lan to hear, there is a well in the backyard of this Jinlin Inn, the well itself is not very peculiar, but ten years ago there was a woman here to draw water, unfortunately fell into the well, of course, this is not a big deal, people who fell into the well are everywhere, but strange is strange more than ten days later, someone found that there was a person lying next to the well when he went to the thatched house at night, it was actually the woman.
The woman fell into the well for ten days, and not only did she not die, but her face was ruddy. The people in the town immediately invited the doctor to take her pulse, and the doctor stared for a moment, but suddenly snorted angrily: "This lady is very good, what kind of illness do you see?" The others were amazed and asked what she saw in the well, but she bluntly said that she did not remember anything.
She didn't remember, but the people in the town remembered that they passed on the matter to the gods, and later, some people even said that in the middle of the night in the backyard they saw the well's red light, like Jin Lin coming into the world, so the well of the Jin Lin Inn became a magical place.
In fact, this Jinlin Inn was not originally called Jinlin Inn, but Fulai Inn, but since the story of Jinlin in the well spread, many good people came to visit, stayed for two days, and wanted to touch some Furui, this shopkeeper is a person who can do business, in response to this momentum, simply changed the name of the inn to Jinlin Inn. Moreover, this town is located less than ten miles outside the Ziyun Palace, and it is the closest town to the Ziyun Palace, which is a place of death in the rivers and lakes, and many outsiders wonder if this inn has anything to do with the Ziyun Palace.
In short, because of all kinds of rumors, true or false, this Jinlin Inn is naturally prosperous in business, lively all year round, and there are all kinds of strange people gathered here. For such a place, Cen Kexuan, who had just come out of the Purple Cloud Palace, was of course very curious, and her face kept showing excitement, and she hurriedly asked the passer-by: "Are you still fetching water in that well?" ”
"What kind of water? The timid don't dare to go, and the bold can't beat it. ”
"Why can't you get it?"
"I don't know. They figured it was too deep. I see, there's a weird ......."
Cen Kexuan looked at the man shaking his head, and couldn't help laughing, wanting to take a look. Bai Moyin stood aside, and seeing that she was very interested in this, he instructed the man in green clothes behind him: "Let's live here today." ”
This man in green clothes is Bai Moyin's attendant Ming Xiao. Ming Xiao was born in a family of eunuchs, when he was young, he was sent to Wudang to learn Wudang swordsmanship because of his weak health, and he was committed to martial arts when he was young. He followed the master of the Bai family and his two sons in and out of the martial arts for many years, and he was very good at martial arts, and he also created a set of solitary swordsmanship, and he once did several major events that caused a sensation in the rivers and lakes for Yujing Villa. Later, for some reason, he refused the position of the true martial altar master of Yujing Villa, and gave Xu Yifeng, the deputy altar master with the same name as him, to take the position, and he followed Bai Moyin instead.
In short, although Mingxiao is an attendant, he is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes.
At this moment, Ming Xiao stepped forward to discuss with the shopkeeper for a while, and then decided on an inner courtyard of this inn, which was naturally much quieter than other guest rooms. Bai Moyin is indifferent and quiet by nature, whenever he goes out, he must live in a quiet and peaceful place, which he knows by heart tomorrow night, and he does not dare to be sloppy at all. But this time, he was a little confused, why did the owner choose such a noisy inn? Is it really to take care of that Miss Cen?
A cadre waited for the inn to stay, and the entourage tied the carriage and horses in the shed, which was the end of the day's trip and a temporary rest. Although Cen Kexuan was full of curiosity, because the carriage and horses were tired, as soon as he entered the house, he hurriedly picked up two mouthfuls of food, and then fell into bed and fell asleep. Seeing that she couldn't wake up from a sound sleep, Dou Lan couldn't bear to disturb her, so she gently covered the quilt for her and exited the house.
I slept for about an hour, and when I woke up, it was already dark and the sky was full of stars. Cen Kexuan was completely sleepy, walked around the house, didn't see Doulan, estimated that she might have fallen asleep, and it was inconvenient to wake her up. A man sat in the house for a while, and suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard during the day, and suddenly became interested, so he put on a coat and pushed the door out of the house.
The moon is hidden in the clouds, and there are only sporadic lights left in the inn. Occasionally, there was the sound of a strange man coughing in the house, and then he seemed to be groping to get out of bed, and after drinking a bowl of herbal tea, the cough quickly faded away. Cen Kexuan thought about what the passer-by said during the day, and walked towards the backyard.
This inn is unexpectedly large, I think in order to find a quiet and quiet, the courtyard where they live is actually connected to the backyard, it is the most marginal one in the whole inn, outside the wall is a green shade, and the adjacent guest rooms are separated by a corridor at a distance, the pattern is very messy, and the people who live are also mixed.
It was only a short distance from the house where she lived to the backyard, but she could faintly hear the sound of the long sword breaking through the air when it was wielded, as if someone was practicing the sword. She suddenly became curious, so she turned around and walked in search of the sound, step by step, stepping on the moonlight on the ground, and the originally vague and distant sound of sword dancing became clearer and clearer.
Walking through the corridor, but in a moment, a red figure appeared in front of her eyes. The girl in red with a sword is dancing a sword in the courtyard, her posture is light, like a frightening sky, the cold sword light in the sky is flickering, and a bunch of peach blossoms on the branches fall with her sword wind, which is extremely enchanting for a while.
The pear blossoms on Ziyun Mountain are beginning to bloom, and the peach blossoms under the mountain are about to wither, striving to show the last charm.
When the woman saw Cen Kexuan, she suddenly turned her head and smiled, like a rose blooming warmly on a midsummer night, with a slight floral fragrance floating in the breeze, very faint, if there is nothing. Cen Kexuan looked at the pink petals that gradually fell to the ground, and the whole courtyard slowly fell silent, she was a little distracted for a while, but the woman suddenly turned her head and shouted, "Fifth brother." ”
Cen Kexuan looked at the voice, a young man in his twenties was coming from under the porch, tall and thin, with tough eyebrows and tough eyes, and his appearance was not very handsome, but when he saw the girl, he smiled lightly, and he was a little soft. "Xin'er, I just passed by the restaurant, so I brought you a roast pigeon by the way."
The girl put away her sword and said happily: "The fifth brother went outside to do errands, but he still remembers the little sister." She stepped forward to take the pigeon wrapped in oiled paper, sniffed it slightly, and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant!" After a night of sword training, I was already hungry. It just so happens that there is some herbal tea in the room, so I'll pour you a cup. She smiled and nodded to Cen Kexuan, and then went back to the house with a smile with the man.
Cen Kexuan looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and the sound of them talking was in his ears, but his vision suddenly blurred. If she can find her brother, presumably they will be like this brother and sister, walking the world, relying on each other for their lives, although they will be home all over the world and have no fixed place to live, they will have a dependency after all.
What could be more terrible in this world than being lonely, as long as she found her brother, she would never float like grass again. Her originally gloomy mood was lightened by this thought, and she had a flash of inspiration, tightened her clothes and walked out.
