Chapter 299 Old Friends Meet
Unconsciously, the east has gradually flooded with a burst of fish belly white, the sky is getting brighter, from the fifth watch to gather at the city gate hundreds of carts ready to enter the city to sell vegetables, as well as groups of foot merchants and people from the rivers and lakes, all stood up and consciously began to line up.
The tall drawbridge was slowly lowered, the gate slowly opened with a "creak", and two groups of soldiers ran out and lined up on both sides of the gate, and the long line began to move forward gradually, and the fish penetrated into the city.
Li Cangxing took a deep breath, there were too many things to do, and he didn't have time to think about it, now he had to go to the city first, go to Xiaguan Ferry as soon as possible to take a boat back to Jiangling, and then go to Wudang, and other things can be thought about slowly on the boat.
Nanjing City after a year ago the siege of the Japanese invaders, the precautions are much stricter than when Li Cangxing and Qian Guanglai came for the first time, especially for the saber and sword and the people in the rivers and lakes, it will be investigated in detail, Li Cangxing's dragon slashing knife is behind his back, although it is wrapped in black cloth, but it is still a little conspicuous, which provokes the officer guarding the door to look at it a few more times, calls him aside, and compares it with a few sea capture documents of Jiangyang thieves on the wall for a while, before he waved his hand suspiciously and let him go.
Li Cangxing spent several days in Nanjing last time, and he was already familiar with the roads in the city, and after entering the east gate, he went straight to the Xiaguan ferry in the northwest of the city.
As soon as the sky was bright, except for the vegetable farmers who entered the city, most of the shops were not open, and the streets paved with bluestone slabs were deserted.
When he was about to go down to the crossing, a familiar voice came into Li Cangxing's ears: "I know five hundred years, I know five hundred years, ask God to ask for hexagrams, only I am Pei Banxian!"
When Li Cangxing heard this voice, he immediately stopped his steps. Turning his head to look at the side and back, he saw a middle-aged Taoist with a lofty instrument, with red phoenix eyes, three locks of long beard, a sallow complexion, wearing a free scarf and a sky blue robe, sitting behind a hexagram stall, shouting to himself.
Li Cangxing's heart moved and walked over. sat down in front of the hexagram stall and whispered in his own voice: "Sir, can you count your marriage?" ”
When the fortune teller heard this, his body shook slightly, and his eyes that had been slightly squinted widened suddenly. stared motionlessly at the guest opposite: "Guest officer, may I ask whose marriage do you want to count?" ”
Li Cangxing stretched out his hand. Placed in front of the fortune teller: "I have a girl in my heart. I haven't seen her in more than two years, and I don't know how she is now. ”
The fortune teller glanced at Li Cangxing's hand and smiled slightly: "This girl is fine now, but there has been a bloody disaster in the place where she is recently, Cangxing, you have to hurry." ”
Li Cangxing sighed. withdrew his hand: "Wen Yuan, after a few years, I didn't expect to see you here." ”
That person was none other than Pei Wenyuan, the former first disciple of the Three Qingguan Sects, who was originally known as Huohuazi, and he glanced around. He said in a low voice: "Presumably you are going to take a boat back to Jiangling, I have hired a boat, waiting for you, we will talk about it on the boat." ”
Li Cangxing stood up, Pei Wenyuan didn't care about his stall, and strode forward directly, Li Cangxing followed closely behind him, and the two arrived at the dock in Xiaguan silently, and there were already many people waiting on the passenger ferry, and Pei Wenyuan bypassed these people directly, walked to a secluded port, got on a river boat that was not too big, and gestured twice to the boat boss standing at the stern, and entered the cabin.
Li Cangxing also walked in, bent down into the cabin, sat down cross-legged, he could feel that the boat had started slowly, and said in a low voice: "Wen Yuan, you can speak now, why are you waiting for me here?" Also, how did you learn the art of disguise? He pointed to Pei Wenyuan's face.
Pei Wenyuan sighed: "Where have you been in the past two years?" I didn't know that you were in Jiangnan, but something had just happened to Wudang, I expected that if you were in Jiangnan, you would definitely take a boat back to Wudang from Nanjing, so I tried my luck around here, but I didn't expect to really wait for you. As for this transfiguration technique, not long after the master passed it on to you, he also taught me this method, and I have been wandering the rivers and lakes all these years, and I have constantly changed my original appearance. ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "How did you learn about the Wudang accident?" Even the leader of the world's largest gang, the beggar gang, only found out about this the day before yesterday. ”
Pei Wenyuan said: "This incident happened three days ago, I have traveled from south to north over the years, and I also have my own news channels, and I may receive this news a day and a half earlier than the Gongsun Gang Leader." Cangxing, have you joined the beggars all these years? I haven't heard from you on the rivers and lakes since you left Emei last time, oh no, you also appeared once in Yueyang on the shore of Dongting Lake, right. ”
Li Cangxing stopped talking, glanced at the boatman outside, Pei Wenyuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, this captain is a deaf and dumb person, my brother can talk with confidence." ”
Li Cangxing then talked about his whereabouts in the past two years, and he didn't break the identity of Qian Guanglai, but said that he first learned to slay the dragon for a while with the beggar gang leader Gongsun Hao, and then by chance in Jiangnan Cha Nei, he learned the lost twenty-eight styles of dragon slaying, and that knife is also a long-lost dragon slaying treasure knife.
As soon as he heard the word "slaying the dragon", Pei Wenyuan's face changed, and he lost his voice: "Is it really the ancient treasure knife to slay the dragon?" ”
Li Cangxing simply untied the cloth bag on his back, opened the black cloth, and revealed this treasure knife that shone with cold light, which blinded Pei Wenyuan's eyes at once, and illuminated the entire cabin. Pei Wenyuan gasped, looked at the deep blood groove on the knife body, and sighed: "Sure enough, it is a dragon slaying, legend has it that the dragon's blood is coagulated in this groove, and after a long time, this blue light will be formed." ”
Li Cangxing was stunned for a moment: "What dragon blood?" ”
Pei Wenyuan smiled: "The emperors of the world, the legend is that they are all sons of heaven, with the blood of dragons, otherwise how to say what is the true dragon son of heaven, when this knife was first cultivated, it collected the essence of heaven and earth, and the essence of 10,000 years of cold iron at the bottom of the sea, which was refined by the immortal sect in ancient times for decades before it was formed, and then thousands of years after that, countless emperors have been killed, Liu Yu used this knife to kill five emperors, it is a well-deserved dragon slaying knife, and it is also said that only the real king can control it, congratulations, Cangxing, get such a divine weapon." ”
Li Cangxing wrapped the knife in a cloth and said, "It's just a legend, and I can't count them." By the way, this knife is too big, and it is very eye-catching to carry all day long, is there a way to shrink it? Gongsun Gang Leader said that there seems to be some mechanism or spell. ”
Pei Wenyuan pondered for a while, and said to Li Cangxing: "This knife is said to have spirituality, and you can communicate with the manipulator, Cangxing, have you used this knife?" ”
Li Cangxing shook his head: "I really used it to fight with all my strength, and I only fought once, but in fact, it was not a battle, just a split almost exhausted my whole body." ”
Pei Wenyuan said: "Legend has it that when this knife is injected with internal force, the knife body will show the ancient runes when it was cast. ”
Li Cangxing shook his head in disbelief, he had heard of the storytelling and knew Sun Monkey's golden hoop stick, but it was a bit of an exaggeration to say that this knife could also change like in the commentary, but looking at Pei Wenyuan's serious appearance, he still picked up the knife, closed his eyes, and his whole body was faintly filled with a burst of golden energy, and the surging internal force in his body gradually poured into the knife body, and a burst of spell-like words appeared near the blood groove on the knife body again.
Pei Wenyuan looked at this word carefully and said, "Cangxing, add some internal force, quickly!"
Li Cangxing added three more points of strength in his hand, and the golden light was even better, and the cold air emitted by the dragon slaying knife had already made the two of them feel the piercing coldness on their skin, and the two lines of text became clearer, Pei Wenyuan muttered: "Estrada, Krisdaha." ”
Li Cangxing was confused when he heard this, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Pei Wenyuan waved his hand and shouted at the knife in a deep voice: "Estrada." There was no change in the Dragon Slaying Knife, and a trace of disappointment flashed on Pei Wenyuan's face, and he said to himself: "No, it's obviously like this." ”
Li Cangxing said strangely: "What Estrada? Before the words fell, the knife suddenly became smaller, and the handle of the knife in Li Cangxing's hand suddenly felt smaller, and it almost fell to the ground. (To be continued......)
