Chapter 12 The broken sword will never be forged, and the knight will never return.
Lao Lu Tou found Qi Wang a job as a junior in an inn.
The inn is not big, it is called a sparrow, and the name is worthy of its name, it is a place the size of a sparrow, but it also has all kinds of organs, both what should and what should not be.
The owner of the inn is a thin old man who is happy, there is only one cook in the store, and the old man will help when he is too busy, and his cooking skills are no worse than the cook, before Qi Wang came, the work of serving tea and pouring water was done by the old man's daughter and another little two, maybe the reason why the business of the small shop has been passable in recent years, a large part of it is on his daughter.
A soft and timid, docile girl with gentle eyebrows and eyes, looks strangely delicate, and the thin black and ugly old man is simply two extremes, such a little beauty stopped at the counter, and there were a lot more guests in the room.
That little two is very ordinary, a very introverted young man, who usually rarely speaks.
According to Lao Lu Tou, this thin old man named Qu Bao was also a grumpy lord when he was young, and in the early years, he played a few years for the boss of an underground force in Shell City, and later saved some money and opened a small inn.
The only thing worth mentioning is that when the Qu coupon brought a breath of an underground person, when he first started to do business, he always fought with the guests because of trivial things, and it was good to win, once he suffered a loss, he did not open the door for three or five days, and even lay in bed for half a year, and then he did not open for two years, and the inn was already facing the crisis of bankruptcy, and the Qu Coupon at that time regretted it, but he had no choice but to be in debt, but fortunately he met Lao Lu Tou, who had a little money in his hand at the time, and hired a steward for him, I was also on the side to help, and finally saved the store, and I went to the clothes to go, so that the song coupon is grateful to this day.
So as soon as Lao Lu Tou led Qi Wang to come, Qu Bao accepted the person without saying a word.
Of course, Lao Lu Tou also saw the woman who didn't look very good after hearing Qu Tou's answer, and turned around and left, and after the woman left with the child in her hand, Lao Lu Tou asked Qu Coupon in a low voice, Qu Tou patted his chest and said that there was no problem, and Lao Lu Tou sighed and didn't say anything more.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Qu Bao has a small inn that can feed a family, but I don't know how much spare money there is.
After Qi Wang saw the woman at that time, he understood why there was the girl with beautiful eyebrows behind the counter.
Qu Bao's appearance and his daughter-in-law stand together, and the contrast is indeed a bit strong.
No wonder Lao Lu Tou said before he came that his brother's daughter-in-law was probably just coveting the family business, which is not too big or small, and it is not easy to have a stable life in today's Gunuo.
Qi Wang just stayed.
He worked honestly during the day, and at night he hid in the room, holding the relic in a daze, for some reason, he always felt that when he was holding the relic, there seemed to be something flowing in his body, and he felt it carefully, as if it was a warm current moving around, but this feeling was too light.
Qi Wang, who didn't understand anything, now just wanted to save enough money for the journey, and then go to the Sacred Desert to find that great magician Liu Lang.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
"Hey!"
The old Lu Tou, who was settling accounts behind the counter, greeted Qi Wang, who was trotting downstairs, and shouted, "Boy, send these to the twelve tables." ”
Qi Wang picked up the vegetable tray in front of him, nodded, and went upstairs again to send it to the guests, during which he met the girl in Tsing Yi who walked down from above, the two nodded slightly, smiled, and said hello.
After delivering the dishes, in the small complaints of the guests, Qi Wang kept smiling and apologizing, and left backwards, nothing more than complaining about the slow food, this is already the norm, just get used to it.
When he stood at the top of the stairs, Qi Wang, who wanted to go down, habitually glanced at the corner of the hall on the second floor on the right hand, and when he did it for the fourth day, he found that there was a black-robed person who would often sit there, and it would be three or five days of non-stop, and in this half a month, Qi Wang saw him at least eight or nine times, and when he chatted with them two days ago, he had made a bet with them with a smile, betting on whether it was a man or a woman, and he had already seen the black-robed man holding the chopsticks in his palm, and said that it was a man, how could a woman's palm be so rough, and it was full of large and small scars, calloused, Qi Wang also thought it should be a man, but this person didn't open his mouth, and when he came, he ordered the inn standard on the menu on the table, two catties of beef in sauce and two side dishes, and the wine that came with it was drunk all at once.
Qu Qiao told them mysteriously: "I can't say well about men and women now, but I know that this guy is a practitioner, and he is wondering what kind of swordsman he should be." ”
Qu Qi, the girl who was sitting next to her at the time, said very firmly, it was a woman, and asked her why, if she had seen her face, she shook her head and only said that it was intuition.
The days are still going by day by day, and the black-robed people still appear often, and then they simply live in the inn, leaving early and returning late, when she said that she was going to stay in the hotel that day, Qu Qiao blinked her eyes several times, this voice, is it really a woman?
Qu Bao finally lost five silver coins to the two little two, and everything was smooth and stable.
January is like quicksand in the middle of your fingers.
Qi Wang, who was tired for a day, hung up the closing sign and went back to his house, this month's salary has been settled, ten silver coins a day, plus some additional tips, around 400, Qi Wang estimated that if it goes on like this, he will be able to save enough money for the passage in half a year.
After putting away the money, Qi Wang lay on the bed, holding the relics in both hands, and fell asleep, during this time, he felt more and more clearly about the warm current in his body, and now he can be sure that there is indeed something flowing in his body, but he is not afraid, what Master Li left for him, can it still harm him?
Dead.
In the completely enclosed room, the oil lamp on the table flickered slightly, and at some point, the white-haired woman who had taken off her hat sat on the stool, quietly staring at the young man on the bed, or rather, at the palms of the young man's folded hands.
Liu Ruimeng was silent for a long time, and then bent his fingers repeatedly, and the white light on his fingertips submerged into the young man's palm one after another, and after a while, the young man's palm was slightly shining, and a golden mist overflowed from his fingers, rising in mid-air, and finally turned into the appearance of a blind man in a monk's robe.
The blind man bowed his head towards Liu Ruimeng.
Liu Ruimeng's left elbow was propped up on the table, his thumb pressed his left cheek, and he silently looked at the blind man in front of him, the blind man smiled slightly, his lips squirmed, and he was all the same as a real person: "Long time no see." ”
Liu Ruimeng crossed his palms and held them against his forehead, and after a while, he looked up at the illusory Li Qing and said softly: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." ”
Li Qing smiled freely: "Life and death are fate, I am a warrior monk, I believe in the reincarnation of cause and effect, and death is not real death for me." ”
The corners of Liu Ruimeng's mouth twitched, full of bitterness
She calmed down for a while and laughed at herself: "I found Lian Jinde, but unfortunately I couldn't kill him, do you know who is by his side?" Ke Li! Gounod actually asked him to guard Lian Jinde. ”
Li Qing said slowly: "I'm not surprised, Lian Jinde is too important to Gunault, and those biological and chemical weapons, put on war, are a nightmare." ”
Liu Ruimeng pursed his lips and said nothing.
Li Qing sighed lightly: "I still have a lot of fears about Gunault, although Shi Wenyin suffered defeat at the hands of Feng Ya, but if it weren't for their own internal problems, with Feng Ya at that time, the probability of defeat was at least seven layers, this person's ambition and overall situation are too terrible, after the death of the third generation, the Guno law he proposed made me feel like a fish in my throat, a Shi Wenyin is already so terrible, and there is a head of the armed forces Liu Ersi, a martial arts and a strategy, once they catch their breath, the world will be in chaos again." ”
Liu Ruimeng heard Shi Wenyin's name, his eyes flashed slightly, and he sneered: "In addition to them, Guno also has a hidden force, Guno III's death has a lot to do with them, as long as Shi Wenyin fails to solve this internal trouble, he will not be able to make a big move, and now, whether it is glory or the nascent land, Guno is not qualified to knead at will, and even has to be afraid of the Frost Ancient Country, if he is not careful, he may have to be hit by the group of barbarian natives in the Ancient Ice Field." ”
Li Qing spread his hands slightly and said with a smile: "This is the best news I have heard recently." ”
Liu Ruimeng didn't say anything more, looked at Li Qing's illusory body, and changed the topic: "Is there still hope?" ”
Of course, Li Qing knew what Liu Ruimeng was talking about, and shook his head with a smile: "It's enough to have two corpses in the world, like me, there is no way, sometimes, it's not a good thing to be too strong." ”
Liu Ruimeng frowned and said: "Song Wei was only one foot away from Shangzong before he died, Shen Tuen is the peak of Shangzong, it stands to reason that with his state at that time, he should have also touched that realm, he can be half dead and half alive, it shouldn't be difficult for you, I can find a way to get Du Lina's way." ”
Li Qing shook his head: "Touching and really stepping into it are two concepts, and you can't do it." ”
Liu Ruimeng looked at the young man on the bed: "What about Liu Lang?" ”
Li Qing's eyebrows were gentle, and he said, "I don't know, that great magician is too mysterious." ”
Liu Ruimeng stopped here, it was useless to say more.
Li Qing smiled: "Leave me alone, let's talk about you, I met Li Suo a few years ago, and he was looking for you all over the world." ”
Liu Ruimeng bit her lip lightly, and only said softly after a long time: "This is what I owe him, and when I finish my own thing, I will taste my life." ”
"You...... Whatever you want, I'm dead now anyway, and I can't do anything. ”
Li Qing shook his head helplessly.
Li Qing's figure in mid-air had gradually begun to fade.
"I don't have much time for this remnant spirit to appear, Rui Meng, a lot of things, you can just look at it, you and Wu Er, in terms of reliability, I still prefer you."
Li Qingqing Liu Ruimeng waved his hand and smiled kindly.
Liu Ruimeng watched Li Qing's figure turn back into mist and retract into the relic, she sat still for a long time, and after a while, she held her palm, and a wine jar appeared on the table, she poured herself a large glass, looked down at her blurred face in the cup, the light in her eyes was disillusioned, and all kinds of past events came to her heart.
The passionate passion when she joined the army at a young age, the desperate selflessness of fighting on the battlefield, the desperate loss of being betrayed in Yangcheng, and the partner who was broken by her own hands and once regarded as her life after losing her faith.
The old man of the Wind Sword Technique, who died because of himself, and the relics monk who was expected to reach the heavens were also gone, as well as those unjust souls who died indirectly or directly in her hands, how sad and cruel her life was.
"Li Qing, my friend, go ......"
Liu Ruimeng took a sip of the liquor in front of him. Drink all the love and hate in this life into your throat.
Vaguely, Liu Ruimeng seemed to see the slightly hunched old man standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, exactly the same as before he died that day, and asked himself with a smile: "Can the broken sword be recast?" When does the knight return? ”
Liu Ruimeng's face was desolate, crying and laughing.
"Elder Suma, I'm sorry."
"A broken sword will never be forged, and a knight will never return......"
