Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Smoke and Rain Building
It was raining lightly outside, making the hot summer say a little more cool, walking on the originally hot ground, the alternation of hot and cold, an unpleasant heat wave, suddenly rushed to the face, making people feel a kind of distress from the bottom of their hearts.
The rain umbrella of Suzhou and Hangzhou, on the streets in the rain, is so clear that people can see it from a long distance, like a flower, blooming in the green leaves.
Emerald green trousers, with a fiery red coat on top, with that quirky cheeks, giving people an illusion of being out of place, this is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, but she doesn't seem to have a ashamed expression because of her weirdness, with those beautiful big eyes, to remember Tianhai City in the rain.
Tianhai City is a coastal city, and there is a lot of rain, but it has that salty smell, so there are not many people on the street, but anyone who passes by can't help but look at this girl, because her dress is too strange.
"Jingle bell!"
The melodious ringing bell rang from between its arms, it was a delicate handbell, in the Sichuan-Tibet region, almost underage boys and girls, will wear such one, but this girl's handbell is too exquisite, giving people the illusion of a handicraft.
"Gua Wazi, this is Yanyu Louli?" The girl looked at an archway on the street with a true accent of Sichuan Tibet, and showed a smug smile.
"Smoke and Rain Building!"
Three purple and gold characters, the pen walks the dragon and snake, revealing a domineering spirit, and you can be infected by such handwriting from a long distance, especially when you see such an ancient door number in the modern city of the steel city wall, you will be unconsciously attracted by it.
"Is it the Smoke and Rain Building?"
On the opposite side of the girl, there was also a suspicious voice at this moment, a black suit, but a pair of round-toed cloth shoes under her feet, and a delicate face, not the slightest handsomeness, but it can give people an illusion of fortitude.
This person is Ling Xiao, he stood in the rain, without an umbrella, but there was no trace of moisture on his body, his movements seemed to be slow, but he had come to the door in an instant, and his speed actually exceeded the rain droplets, as if he had passed through directly.
"Whoa!"
At the same time as Ling Xiao rushed out, the girl's pupils contracted suddenly, and a pair of jade hands quickly reached into the rain, scooped up a handful of rainwater, and quickly smashed towards Ling Xiao.
All this is extremely fast, as if the two of them have been preparing for a long time, but only the two of them know that they really noticed each other at that moment, and at this moment, both of them were on each other's bodies, feeling the aura of danger.
"Broken!"
The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth hung a trace of arc, and his right hand pressed towards the front, and suddenly a palm wind rushed out, and all the rain was knocked out, and at the same time, in this short time, his right step took a step, and appeared directly under the door number, and said with a smile according to the door number: "Little beauty, your temper is quite hot?" ”
"Humph! It's you, a melon baby, who wants to test your aunt and grandmother! The girl snorted coldly, stepped on the embroidered shoes under her feet angrily, and went straight to the location of the smoke and rain building.
Ling Xiao's nose twitched slightly, just now at the first glance, he saw the dangerous aura from this girl's body, so he suddenly accelerated, and he didn't want to do it, just to verify his guess, after all, there are countless masters in the world, you can't be an enemy of others just because others know martial arts, Ling Xiao is not so domineering.
"This smoke and rain building is interesting!" A smile appeared on Ling Xiao's face, he couldn't see what it meant, and walked in directly following the girl's footsteps.
At the beginning, the time he agreed with Jiu Ye was the Yanyu Building three days later, but now that the time has come, he naturally came to return the jade cigarette holder and exchange for the information of those killers.
Yanyulou is located in the old city, is a five-storey ancient building, it is said that all are made of wooden structure, in the old city, just ask a person, you can easily find here, carved beams and paintings, at a glance it is full of extraordinary.
Push open the wooden gate, on which carved the Eight Immortals across the sea chart, all of which are hollow out technology, but every knife down, it seems to be extremely attentive, and the eyebrows are very clear, as if they were printed.
"What a powerful knife technique!"
The interlacing is like a mountain, but Ling Xiao still can't help but sigh lightly, he thinks that he can run to the extreme, there are few opponents in the world, but he has to admire this master who carved wooden doors, and his sword skills have been superb.
"It's just a small skill of carving insects, this gentleman has a light step, I think he should be the same as that girl, he is here to find the ninth master, right?"
In the position of the entrance hall, there is a dark corner, an old man with white hair, smiling and smiling, his voice is thick and powerful, not at all like an old man in his seventies, if he does not make a sound, I am afraid it will be difficult for anyone to find out that there will be a person, sitting there.
"I've met my seniors!"
Ling Xiao was shocked in his heart, he didn't find the old man for the first time just now, and hurriedly hugged the other party, and sighed secretly in his heart, this Tianhai City is also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and this smoke and rain building actually hides an immortal master.
"Let's go inside! That girl is not a good person! ”
The old man was wearing a lilac Tang suit, holding a celadon teacup in his hand, and gently blew out a breath, the tea was suddenly blown aside, he skillfully pressed the lid of the cup, drank the tea into his mouth, smiled at Ling Xiao, and did not mean to ask and be embarrassed.
Although Ling Xiao didn't know anything about the tea ceremony, he could also see that this old man must be a master who was immersed in this way, and generally people who could have a deep understanding of tea would also have a kind of dusty atmosphere, which he had already felt just now, bowed to the old man again, and walked towards the second floor pointed by the other party.
Yanyulou is not famous in Tianhai City, because this place, there is no doorman, no parking space, and even outside except for the signboard that is eye-catching, even if the rest of the club should have decoration, it does not have, but in the entire southern part of China, and even farther away, there is no one who does not know this Yanyulou.
It is famous, not because it has beautiful women in the sky, nor because it is more luxurious than those palatial hotel clubs, but because it was once a martial arts master, and the place founded by Zhou De is a place that the martial arts people who have entered Tianhai City for generations are eager to see.
"Old man, hand over the Jiangnan Yanyu, Aunt Ben will let you go, otherwise you will ......!"
In the attic full of Tang Dynasty style, the Sichuan-Tibetan girl was lying very comfortably on a rocking chair, showing off her might towards an old man with yellow teeth.
When Ling Xiao came in, he happened to see this scene, and a wry smile hung on his mouth, which really made the old man right, the two of them were really fated, and they actually found the ninth master at the same time, but he didn't mean to meddle in things, but sat at the round table next to him and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Grandma, the price you gave is too low, even if you compensate me, you won't be able to exchange it for Jiangnan Yanyu!" Jiu Ye smiled bitterly, and his body unconsciously took a step back towards Ling Xiao's position, and the girl's upturned calves hung in front of him like a sharp sword, giving him a dangerous aura.
"Huh? It's you, melon baby, you are also coming to Jiangnan Yanyu? The girl seemed to have just seen Ling Xiao, and asked with a look of surprise, and at the same time, the embroidered shoes lightly touched the ground, and the whole rocking chair suddenly slid to the round table like a small boat, and stood opposite Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao gently pressed down the tea, wanting to learn from the old man to pretend to be an expert, but found that there were still a few pieces of tea leaves, and he couldn't blow them, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "I don't know what Jiangnan Yanyu is, if I encounter it, I will definitely give it to you!" ”
The ninth master on the side breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that the two of them would fight on this rainy building, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, the old man didn't know that Miss Miao was back today, you have a lot of Haihan!" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, old man? Aunt Ben is quite in love with this melon baby, you better explain first, how to deal with the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River? Miss Miao rolled her eyes with a dissatisfied face, and also picked up the teacup and said, "Gua Wazi, your martial arts are not bad, which sect?" ”
Ling Xiao and Jiu Ye both smiled bitterly, although this little girl has good martial arts, she is not a person in the rivers and lakes at all, so she always does things unexpectedly, but the two of them are really not good at saying anything, after all, beauties have privileges when they go there.
"My name is Ling Xiao, and my martial arts are just average!" Ling Xiao smiled, he naturally didn't believe the words of the ninth master, the timing was coincidental, thinking that the other party had already calculated that this little girl would come back and find himself as a shield, since the other party didn't dare to offend directly, Ling Xiao would not go out of the limelight.
"Tsk! Yes, when I came, my mother said, the humble melon baby is good, look at your face, today Aunt Ben will not embarrass this old man, but within three days, I must be able to get Yanyu Jiangnan! ”
Miss Miao talked endlessly, not giving the two of them a chance to talk at all, and then picked up the flower oil umbrella that was erected on the side, still dripping, and turned around to leave.
When Miss Miao appeared in his field of vision with a flower paper umbrella, he seemed to be on the shore of the West Lake in Hangzhou, and saw the beautiful umbrella, as well as the embroidered shoes that were not splashed in the rain.
Jiu Ye stood beside Ling Xiao embarrassedly, slightly relieved in his heart, it seemed simple just now, but in fact, it was also sinister and ruthless, if it wasn't for Yanyu Tower, if it wasn't for Ling Xiao's arrival, he would really be in trouble.
"Brother Jiu, I don't want to ask about Jiangnan Yanyu, and I don't want to get involved in your affairs, tell me the information I want, and return the jade cigarette holder to you, I'll turn around and leave!" Ling Xiao opened his mouth lightly and took out the cigarette pouch from his arms, but did not break the flaw that the Ninth Master deliberately led him to.
"Huh!" Jiu Ye smiled awkwardly, although Ling Xiao's words were direct, he was not unacceptable, rubbed his dry palm, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, this time I did want to use my brother to delay that Miao girl for a while, but what you asked me to investigate, I think that we may have the possibility of joining forces!" ”
Ling Xiao frowned slightly, put the teacup he was holding directly on the table, and said lightly: "Let's hear it!" ”
