Chapter 136: Blackwater Town
The giant sword slashed towards the surface of the lake with a domineering momentum that seemed to open the world, and in an instant, the lake was split in half, and the clear water formed high waves on both sides, and in the middle was the land at the bottom of the lake mixed with bluestone and silt.
The strong recoil slowed down Ye Yinan's rapidly falling figure, and with a sound of stepping, he landed lightly on a piece of bluestone, looked to the side, and a look of surprise welled up in his eyes.
"This sword is too strong, coupled with the powerful giant sword and my strength, it simply has an invincible posture!"
The huge waves on both sides were constantly churning and splashing, and through the splashes, you could even see a lot of swimming fish, shrimp and crabs, Ye Yinan retracted his gaze and walked on the road to the bottom of the lake that had been opened up.
It wasn't until he walked to the shore of the lake that the huge waves fell with a bang, and the road at the bottom of the lake disappeared without a trace in an instant. ”
The figure flashed, and after a while he returned to the peak, but after probing again and again, he didn't find the slightest figure.
At this moment, on another mountain peak, an old man with a sword stood under a big tree that had fallen yellow leaves, and his expression was slightly surprised: "What a hegemonic sword momentum, such a fierce and domineering sword posture is really rare!"
Ye Yinan saw that it had been fruitless, so he gave up looking for someone, he was not looking for someone to avenge that kick, now that he had comprehended the sword power, he turned his head to look at it, and also understood that his previous way of understanding others was extremely stupid, and although the way used by the person hiding in the dark was very extreme, it was undoubtedly reminding himself.
"My current strength, Feng Yuan plus physical strength can already be in the upper reaches of the martial artists of the Eight Veins of the Yuan Control Realm, and this is not counting the artistic conception of the wind and the sword power. ”
As for the Soul Yuan Storm's move of killing a thousand enemies and self-inflicting eight hundred, he felt that it was better to use it sparingly, not only was it easy to be injured by mistake, but it would also consume a lot of Yuan Power and Soul Power, once it fell into a weak state and an enemy came, it would be a big trouble.
After roughly analyzing his strength, Ye Yinan headed towards Ziyun City, Xun Lao had already refined the Yuan Dragon Pill, and after he went back this time, he could start to open up the second meridian of the Futu Holy Body Duel.
......
"Drive, drive, call!"
A figure on horseback came out of the mountains and forests, and suddenly, the man on horseback grabbed the reins, and with a loud neigh, the horse raised its front hooves and fell heavily to the ground, stopped on the side of the road, and looked along the downhill road ahead, and could faintly see a small town at the end of the road.
"Ahead is ...... Blackwater. The man looked down at a map, made a slight discerning his position, and whispered to himself.
Then he raised his gaze and looked at the town on both sides of the mountain in front of him, although that face exuded a breath of wind and dust, he could still recognize it at a glance, it was Ye Huaijin who had been away from the Ye family for half a year!
In the past six months, he has been quite tired, when he was in Ziyun City, as the second son of the Ye family, who was not polite to give three points, but after leaving the one acre and three points of land, he could be regarded as personally experiencing the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes.
Ye Huaijin, who doesn't have much experience in the rivers and lakes, has encountered several liars, and most of his body has been deceived, and even once, the horse under his crotch was almost lost. Speaking of horses, this good horse that he rode out of the Ye clan looked skinny at this time, and the demeanor in his eyes had already disappeared for the most part, and he looked downcast.
However, although it is very bleak, in this period of struggle, Ye Huaijin has gradually become more shrewd, and his experience has become more and more abundant.
"It's finally time to resupply. From the last time he passed through the county town to the present, he has been hurrying in the deserted mountains, carrying all the food he has already eaten, and almost relying on wild fruits and vegetables for three meals a day, occasionally roasting two wild birds to eat, like a wild man.
He gently smoothed the horse's mane, chuckled and comforted: "I will add enough forage for you in a while, so that you can have a good meal!"
The horse snorted and kept stomping on the ground, making a clattering sound that seemed to respond to him.
Heishui Town is not big, it is an extremely ordinary town, the streets are deserted, and at a glance, there are not many pedestrians.
Ye Huaijin led the horse and walked on the street, for some reason, he always felt that the people in this town were very strange, and there were faint strange eyes towards him.
He came to a shop that sold groceries, which seemed to be a place for passers-by, and there were some items needed for camping in the wilderness, such as flints, tents, and so on.
When he looked at the map before, he noticed that if he passed Blackwater Town, if he wanted to reach the next county seat, he would have to cross a distance of nearly 1,000 miles, so he had to prepare a lot of necessities.
After a while, he handed the goods to the store and asked, "Sister-in-law, can you order it and see how much it costs?"
The shopkeeper was a peasant woman in a burlap robe, and after she heard Ye Huaijin's question, she first looked at him, and then casually glanced at the goods on the table, and stretched out two fingers without saying a word.
It was not the first time Ye Huaijin had bought these necessities, and he knew the price very well, he took out two strings of copper plates from his pocket and put them on the table, and wiped them with his fingers, no more, no less, a full two hundred copper coins.
But just as he was about to pack the goods, the peasant woman pressed his wrapping cloth and said in a dialect that Ye Huaijin could barely understand: "Two taels of silver." ”
Ye Huaijin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "Oh, then you can tell me what the price of these things is." ”
The peasant woman had an impatient expression on her face, but she still introduced the prices to him one by one.
"You actually sold me a hundred copper coins for this flint, which is ten times more expensive?" Ye Huaijin sneered, immediately put away the copper coins, and wanted to leave this place.
"In Blackwater Town, only our family sells these things, if you don't believe it, you can go out and take a walk, and in addition, other shops such as blacksmith shops and inns are the same, only one. ”
The peasant woman's dress and dialect accent make her look very simple, but in fact she is actually a black-hearted shopkeeper, and listening to her words, it seems that the whole Blackwater Town is "black".
After paying two taels of silver, Ye Huaijin, who was in an unhappy mood, took the package and walked out of the store, there was no way, when he encountered such a strange situation, he could only pinch his nose and admit it, unless he relied on force to bully people, but he couldn't do that kind of thing with his temperament.
Walking down the street, he looked up at the sky, although this place did not seem to be suitable for a long time, but it was getting late, and the night was slowly shrouded like a hazy black veil, and he still planned to stay in this Blackwater Town for one night.
Going around and around, he came to the only inn in the town, and the little guy with a dirty towel on his shoulder greeted him, with a hypocritical smile on his face, took the reins from Ye Huaijin's hand, and asked, "This guest officer, do you want to be sharpened or stay in the hotel?"
"Stay. Ye Huaijin replied lukewarmly, seeing that the little guy was standing in place and not moving, he sighed secretly in his heart, he handed the little guy fifty copper coins, and advised: "Take people's money, do things for others, feed my horse, otherwise it will ......"
Seeing that he was generous, the little guy grinned even bigger, nodded in a panic and smiled: "Guest officer, I can save it." Then he led the horse to the backyard of the inn.
This inn can be said to be the tallest building in Blackwater Town, and it is divided into two floors, the first lobby is used to entertain diners, and the second floor is used to entertain guests.
Ye Huaijin thought that this black-hearted inn would ask him for a sky-high accommodation fee, but unexpectedly, the accommodation fee was only less than one percent more expensive than the outer county town, which made him wonder a little, with such a cheeky little guy asking for a reward, how good could this inn be?
With suspicion, he was led into a guest room on the second floor by a middle-aged bald fat man with a big belly, and when the bald fat man left, he immediately locked the door and checked it in the room, even the bedding and the bottom of the bed.
"Could it be that I'm overthinking?" After checking for a while, he didn't find anything abnormal, Ye Huaijin muttered to himself.
The rush of these days was really exhausting, and a thick sleepiness struck, he frowned and thought about it, and for the sake of caution, opened his mouth to swallow the next antidote pill, and then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
This is also one of his experiences, when he was immature, he was given sweat medicine by a group of people, but fortunately, that group of people was a group of righteous thieves, seeing that he didn't have much money, he only took half of his coil and let him go, otherwise it was a small matter to lose money, and his life was likely to be lost.
Since then, whether it is eating or drinking, he will be extremely cautious, this time the people of Blackwater are so unbearable, he even has some doubts that someone will come in through the window at night, so he took the antidote poison in advance.
Wow, wow, kick!
In his sleep, there was a faint sound of his feet stepping on the wooden planks of the stairs going upstairs, Ye Huaijin opened his eyes suddenly, and he didn't know when his sleep became very shallow. After a while, there was a gentle knock on the door: "Guest officer, it's dinner time at the inn, do you want to go downstairs to eat something?"
"You go down first, I'll go later." ”
"Yes, guest officer. Then there was the sound of footsteps coming downstairs.
Ye Huaijin didn't have a Sumeru ring, so he could only put the silver money and other valuable items into his pocket, leaving only some worthless but expensive sundries in the guest room, and then closed the door and went downstairs.
After all, there is nothing to eat if you miss the dinner time of the inn, and the guests on the second floor have come to the lobby on the first floor, but even if they all come down, there are not many people, and there are no more than two hands at a glance.
On the east side, there were two tables on top of each other, and five men dressed as dart masters sat around, drinking tea and talking quietly.
The middle-aged swordsman with a scar on his brow sat alone in the center of the hall, picking up a flask from time to time to take a sip.
There was also a beautiful girl with a ponytail sitting by the window, Ye Huaijin was slightly surprised, it seemed that since she went down the stairs, this girl's eyes had been on her face.
