Volume 1 The Beginning of the Edge Chapter 52 Miscellaneous Things
The sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap.
When Ning Que felt the warm brilliance in his hand, he couldn't hide his smile, he smiled, his feet moved faster, and after a few pillars of incense, he had completely gotten rid of it, found a hidden cave where no one was, and got in.
The entrance of the cave is about five or six feet in size, the interior is hollow, the ground is slightly damp, rugged, and the water stains on the rock wall of the cave are dripping down one by one, and the ding dong ding dong falls in the soil, and the ground is wet.
The inside was swept, there was no danger, so he put his mind at ease, stretched out his right palm, looked at the irregular ellipsoidal relics in his hand, shining with golden light, thinking that this was the essence left by the monk, the greed in his eyes became stronger, if he could use it for his own use, his strength would probably ascend to the sky in one step, and he secretly rejoiced.
Scratching his head, he studied it for a while, and he couldn't think of how to start, so he could only put it away first, put it in the sachet, and thought about finding an opportunity to ask Lin Ruoping.
Together, patting the mud on the buttocks, watching the heavy rain has stopped, the sky is clear, but the cold wind is blowing a little painful on the skin, and I shivered.
Walking inward for nearly 100 meters, reaching the bottom of the cave, looking at the golden-armored beast that shrunk in the corner of the wall and closed its eyes to recuperate, covered in burrs several feet long, wearing golden armor, the tip of the nose was half a zhang long, and the long and thin golden needles flowed with drops of golden juice on it, snoring one after another.
Ning Que tiptoed to his feet, looking at the golden armored beast covered in thorns, approaching step by step, along the rock wall, his eyes were cold, and when he was less than half a zhang, he pulled out a fierce sword horizontally, and with a tearing sound, along the abdominal ribs, cut out a hole several feet long, and the sword body was covered with blood stains, and blood flowed all over the ground.
With a terrible sound, the golden armor beast glared angrily, its body curled up tighter, the golden armor lowered a few points, wrapped the exposed wound inside, and the half-zhang long sharp nose shook, and rushed out, approaching Ning Que.
Ning Que sneered, he didn't expect this guy to be revenged, if it was really an animal, he didn't know how to advance or retreat, or good, the long sword in his hand danced, smacked a few times, and he couldn't stalemate, but after more than a dozen moves, the golden armor beast gradually lost its support, and the blood stains from the weak abdominal ribs spread all over the ground, and the breath became weaker and weaker, and finally Ning Que hooked the sword, from the bottom to the top, and died.
Throw it on the ground, cut off the hard flesh, find a pit with stagnant water, clean it, and after a few simple treatments, the oil drips into the flames, snorting, feasting, finding a dry place, and sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Stuffed into the amber fragments, a spiral golden light in his hand, as it continued to brew, the brilliance became more and more prosperous, the whirlpool became more and more domineering, a palm imprinted in the lungs, suddenly, a muffled snort, the person flew out upside down, fell heavily to the ground, sighed a few times, slowly breathed, and then another palm, boom, fell to the ground.
Repeatedly, until the sky was bright again, although the sun was shining, but the air was still condensed into water vapor in the air, and finally turned into ice crystals, the temperature dropped a lot, and the hoarfrost sprinkled on the ground, freezing the muddy potholes, and the stagnant water in the grass had formed a thick ice film.
Torrential .........
Went straight to the capital, messy hair, ragged clothes, because of the long-term stay in the Tai Kill Palace, I didn't care much about dressing, after most of the day's work, I had arrived at the gate of the city, hungry, and careless about the city tower, stuffy head, and went inside.
"Hey, what are you kid doing?" Two spears burst out from both sides, stood in front of him, in a fork shape, and then pressed back, forcing Ning Que back a few feet.
Ning Que looked up, Ning provoked the king of Hades, Mo provoked the villain, and looked at the two of them with a smile in his mind, enthusiastic, two officials, I was about to hurry, I don't know what to tell to stop the little one?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, one stepped forward, not so mean, and withdrew the spear, but the words were still not very good, "Xiao Huazi, don't blame the master for being ruthless, this capital is a place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is not allowed, no beggars are allowed, say that you kid is not good, you are young, you don't lack arms, you don't lack legs, why do you have to eat?"
Ning Que looked at himself for a week, his face was embarrassed, no wonder he was stopped, covered in mud, looking at the city, magnificent, paved with gray bricks, extremely smooth, very little dirty, if he trespassed in vain, he was afraid of staining the ground, touched his nose, turned around, took out the silver medal from the sachet, and handed it to him.
When the man saw it, his face changed, the smile on his face was a little stiff, and he trembled and said: "Adult, small, small has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please... Come in. ”
Ning Que won the silver medal, swaggering inward, the mood is very refreshing, being an official is cool! Seeing that everyone has to be a little taller, just entering the city, a thoroughfare, there is no end in sight, the buildings on both sides are a little tall, two or three zhang, and in the distance, the tower-like buildings are overwhelming, very grandiose, the cornices arch is hidden in the shade of the trees, and the surrounding aura rolls, it is even more rich than the Tai Killing Palace.
On the inside of the city wall, along the stalls and shops, all kinds of strange objects, colorful spirit grass, monster beasts, flesh and bones, flesh and blood, and even some antiques, are neatly arranged, the traffic on both sides is busy, and there are many pedestrians who come and go, dressed gorgeously.
Ning Que looked at the disdainful eyes around him, his heart was very uncomfortable, he looked around, and hurriedly found a silk shop, just entered it, a middle-aged man with a fat brain stopped in front of him, his face was cold, and even disgusted: "Boy, get out of here, don't delay me in business, this is a tael of silver, hurry up and ask for food elsewhere." ”
Ning Que snorted coldly, raised his head, and slapped it on the counter with a high spirit, and a few ingots of gold were inlaid into the counter and appeared in front of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and he poked his hand, invisibly, he was a little shorter, and the rich were all uncles, which was really true. Ning Que strode forward with his hands behind his back, and said in a hearty voice: "Hurry up and get a few decent clothes with the master, and bring hot water to the master, hurry up, don't let the master wait." ”
"Yes, yes, Xiao Li, hurry up and get a basin of hot water and rub your body for your son. The shopkeeper's inner face flickered, changing his face like turning a book, come and come, guest officer, please, look ....... ”
Ning Que washed the mud stains on his body a little, changed into clean clothes, turned around, looked at the late sky, turned around, and found a tall and noble restaurant, Yabin Building, as soon as he entered it, a three-story small building, layer upon layer, advancing inward, wooden decoration, surrounded by some calligraphy and paintings written by literati and elegant guests, there is a smell of books.
The lowest floor is a hall, with boxy tables and chairs, more than a dozen tables, staggered, and the second and third floors, separated by screens, and even the outline can not be seen clearly.
Ning Que found a place at random, ordered a few dishes, devoured a meal, returned to the guest room, and once again refined the five internal organs.
In the early morning of the next day, the cold wind was strong, Ning Que asked passers-by where to go, along the thick and flat road surface of two zhang wide, non-stop, the pedestrians on both sides gradually became dense, lively and lively, turned left and right, and did not know how many bends and how many lanes were walked.
After the three pillars of incense, Ning Que finally saw the Shuntian Mansion, the plaque is embroidered with flowing clouds, made of purple gold nanmu, the three words are extremely magnificent, like flowing water, there is a deterrent atmosphere invisibly.
Walk up the steps, enter it, the inside is like a courtyard, some big, the courtyard wall around is towering, the plaque of the inner hall is written neatly with four big characters, and the mirror is hung high.
In the courtyard, an uncle who was sweeping the floor looked up, and when he saw it, he was walking slowly, tall and thin, full of yellow teeth, with unclear outlines, full of ravines and ravines, full of gray hair, empty left sleeve, but his voice was a little loud, "Little brother, what's the matter with you?"
Ning Que looked at the old man with a calm expression, "Uncle, I came here to report on my work", then took out the silver medal from his arms and handed it over.
The old man smiled and shouted: "Okay, good, good, become a silver medalist at such a young age, and the future is limitless......." ”
Ning Que watched him keep nagging, and it was not easy to interrupt, he talked for a while, and finally figured it out, and entered along the side of the courtyard on the left side, and after a round of turns, he came to the backyard, and there were many people, and he found a man in a blue robe, and stepped forward to talk.
"Hehe, you kid, why did you come to the backyard? Leave quickly, just wait in the front yard for any case. The blue-robed man disdained and waved his hand, quite majestic, "You white-skinned guy, but you are delicate, go back quickly." As he spoke, he touched the side of his face, a hideous scar, and his skin was a little black.
Ning Que looked dazed, he didn't expect to be said to be a little white face, and took out the silver medal from his arms again.
The blue-robed man was stunned, grabbed it and flipped it over, his hands trembled a little, he raised his head and looked at it carefully, and said in disbelief: "Little brother, this can't be picked up by you, right?"
Ning Que gave him a disdainful look, coughed, cleared his throat, straightened his clothes, landed on one foot, and with a bang, the stone floor was slightly sunken by three inches, "Hey, I'm desperate, come and report." ”
The blue-robed man was embarrassed, he couldn't wait to find a crack to get into, handed back the silver medal, and said dejectedly: "You became a silver medalist when you were only a teenager, and I, now twenty-one years old, have just achieved the bronze medal, alas, people are more popular than people." ”
Ning Que's face was a little hot, thinking that he had not made an inch, relying on the relationship to walk through the back door, there seemed to be someone poking the backbone behind him, but the image on his face still needed to be maintained, and he said modestly: "Where is it, I'm just lucky, may I ask the name of Brother Taizun?"
"In Xia Hu Yidao, let's go, I'll take you to meet Sun Zhutou, he is our top boss, he is a gold medal catcher, the strength of the spirit refining is high-level, the case is in the gods, the arrested Jiangyang thieves, countless thieves, and countless people who have captured life and death, it is the legend of my Shuntianfu. Hu Yidao also slowly became familiar and talked eloquently.
While listening, Ning Que asked from time to time, "What is Sun Zhutou's personality?"
Hu Yidao smiled, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Sun Zhutou admires young talents the most, and even teaches them and is friendly." However, Sun Zhutou is extremely uninterested in those dignitaries, and can even be said to be jealous and hateful, disgusted, and has clashed with those officials who have a bad stomach many times, so he has not been promoted to the jade medal. ”
