Chapter 4: The Mysterious Old Man
Ye Qing walked into the room, glanced at Cheng Xiaohu, and said, "I'll see how your luggage is going?"
Cheng Xiaohu pointed to the table and said, "Don't worry, senior sister." I've already packed it up. ”
Ye Qing followed his voice and looked over, only to see a small cyan package on the table. Ye Qing didn't say much, walked over and opened the package, and carefully checked the items inside.
After a while, Ye Qing frowned and said, "Are you just going to bring something like this?"
Ye Qing spread out the package, and inside were a few pieces of clothing and a few taels of silver, and there was nothing else.
"Of course not!" Cheng Xiaohu shook his head, and then pointed to the head of the bed, where there was a hanging sword. "I'm going to bring the Iron Tooth Sword with me!"
Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh lightly and said, "You are like this, I really don't worry about you going out alone."
After speaking, Ye Qing took out a small package, handed it to Cheng Xiaohu, and said, "Bring all the things here!"
Cheng Xiaohu took the bulging package and asked curiously, "What's in it?"
"You'll know when you open it." Ye Qing replied angrily.
Cheng Xiaohu opened the package and saw that it was full of all kinds of strange-shaped vials.
In the vials of "Golden Sore Medicine, Tranquil Incense, and Antidote Pills...... all of them are medicines, some are healing, some are quick to restore mana, and some are detoxifying...... All kinds of medicines, all available.
"Senior sister, where did you get so much medicine? You're not going to pry the door of the sect's medicine store, are you? Cheng Xiaohu said.
When Ye Qing heard this, he couldn't help but angrily knock Cheng Xiaohu's head, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Cheng Xiaohu was taken aback, touched his head, and said aggrievedly: "Just kidding!"
"But where the hell did you get these pills?" Cheng Xiaohu asked.
Ye Qing snorted and said, "Have you forgotten that your senior sister and I can do alchemy?"
Cheng Xiaohu couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "You mean, these are all refined by you?"
"Or else?" Ye Qing glared and said.
Cheng Xiaohu looked at Ye Qing, there was an indescribable moving on her delicate face, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that under those clear eyes, there is a trace of tiredness that is difficult to hide.
Cheng Xiaohu then remembered that he hadn't seen Ye Qing since he received the task from the master this afternoon, and at first he thought that Ye Qing was busy cultivating, but now it seems that she is probably refining medicine for herself.
Cheng Xiaohu was moved in his heart, stepped forward and gently hugged Ye Qing, and said softly, "Thank you, senior sister." When I come back, I will definitely cultivate hard to repay your great kindness. ”
Ye Qing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then smiled silently. Heart: If I believe in you, I will have ghosts.
As if thinking of something, Ye Qing pushed Cheng Xiaohu away, and said in a fast tone: "By the way, you can also bring these things."
Ye Qing took out a pile of items again, and quickly put them on the table one by one.
"This is the demon incense that can ward off demons, the fluorescent pendant that boosts your mana, and the tights that protect you......"
Cheng Xiaohu looked at the piles of items on the table, the boss with his mouth open, and said in a daze: "Senior sister, how can I bring so many things!"
Ye Qing glared at him again and snorted, "You just have to carry one more package."
When Cheng Xiaohu heard this, he selected some unnecessary things from them and pushed them to Ye Qingdao: "Senior sister, don't worry!" I'm just going to Jianye City, and nothing big will happen. ”
Ye Qing looked at him and said helplessly: "You have lived in the mansion since you were a child, so naturally you don't know the sinister nature of the outside world."
"The outside world is no better than Chang'an City, no more than our Tang Dynasty Mansion. There are not only all kinds of vicious demons and monsters, but also many sinister and cunning people. You have to remember that you have to be careful in everything, and you must not be careless, lest you fall for those people. Also, you must be a little more restrained in your temperament, don't be competitive, and don't be in the limelight. Don't be greedy on the road, come back early after finishing things, don't worry me and my master. ”
Cheng Xiaohu nodded honestly and said, "I know everything, you can rest assured!" Masters. I'll be fine. ”
"Alas, the hour is not early, you have to hurry tomorrow, rest early!" Ye Qing sighed and left.
Cheng Xiaohu had to close the door, then put everything away, lay back on the bed and continued to flip back and forth.
I don't know how long I tossed and turned like this, but Cheng Xiaohu finally fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up again, the sky outside the window was already slightly cool, and a trace of fish belly white floated from the east, and it was already time to set off.
Pack up your package, then take off the iron-toothed sword at the head of the bed and carry it on your back. After everything was ready, Cheng Xiaohu walked out of the hut, gently closed the door, and walked in the direction of the gate of the Tang Dynasty.
After Cheng Xiaohu walked away, next to his hut, a faint sigh came out.
………
The Tang Dynasty Mansion is located in the north of Chang'an City, between the Imperial Palace and the Huasheng Temple, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located in front of it, which is an extremely important geographical location.
Because Jianye City is in the south of Chang'an City, Cheng Xiaohu walked through the entire Chang'an City, all the way from the north of the city to the gate of the south of Chang'an City. When Cheng Xiaohu walked to the south gate of the city, it was already noon.
It's June, and the weather is hot and dry. Cheng Xiaohu walked all morning, only to feel hungry and thirsty in his mouth, and saw a tea stall next to the south gate of the city, so he walked over, bought a bowl of herbal tea from the tea stall owner to quench his thirst, and also sat down on the tea stall by the way to take a rest.
The tea was cool, Cheng Xiaohu drank it in his stomach, only to feel a burst of coolness, and his whole body was full of indescribable comfort.
"Boss, let's have a bowl of herbal tea!" Suddenly, a deep voice sounded next to Cheng Xiaohu.
Cheng Xiaohu looked to the side, only to see an old man standing next to him.
Although the old man had an old face and a white beard, his eyes were blazing and shocking.
"Little brother, can I sit here?" The old man pointed to the opposite side of Cheng Xiaohu's table and asked.
"Absolutely!" Cheng Xiaohu was stunned.
"Haha, then thank you little brother!" The old man sat down with a smile.
"You're welcome!" Cheng Xiaohu said.
"The little brother is also from Chang'an!" The herbal tea was served, and after the old man took a sip, he looked at Cheng Xiaohu and asked.
"Hmm!" Cheng Xiaohu said solemnly.
For some reason, Cheng Xiaohu always felt that there was an extraordinary momentum on the old man in front of him, and Cheng Xiaohu was unconsciously impressed in front of him.
"I see you're in a hurry, but you're going to go far away?" The old man asked again.
Cheng Xiaohu nodded and said, "Well, I'm going to go to Jianye City."
"Jianye City?" When the old man heard this, there seemed to be a hint of nostalgia on his face. "Anyway, I haven't been there in a long time."
"Oh? Sir, have you been to Jianye City before? Cheng Xiaohu was surprised.
The old man smiled and nodded. "I used to be there when I was younger."
"What about Jianye City?" Cheng Xiaohu couldn't help but ask.
"There." The old man paused before saying, "Very good."
"But," the old man suddenly changed his words, "you can't go there."
The old man's expression changed suddenly, his eyes were like torches, his expression was grim, Cheng Xiaohu saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be silent for a while.
In the end, Cheng Xiaohu still cautiously asked, "Why can't I go there?"
The old man shook his head and said, "Because I don't want you to repeat the mistakes of the past."
Cheng Xiaohu frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Listen to me, go back......" Faintly, there seemed to be a faint sigh.
"Huh?" Cheng Xiaohu lost his mind for a moment, but suddenly found that the old man had disappeared.
Cheng Xiaohu was shocked, and hurriedly got up to look around, but still found no trace of the old man.
"Boss, where's the old gentleman?" Cheng Xiaohu asked the tea stall owner.
"What old man?" The owner of the tea stall didn't know why.
"It's the old man who sat across from me just now." Cheng Xiaohu said.
"What are you talking about?" The boss was confused for a moment and said, "You have been sitting alone at this table!" Where did the old man come from? ”
The sun shone through the leaves, and Cheng Xiaohu felt a chill for no reason.
