One hundred and sixty times, the old man and the old lady
"What wood? What head? Zihuan continued to ask.
"The wood is black iron and wood, and the human head is the head of a traitor." Zhao Zheng replied.
"Black ironwood is a special tree species in the surrounding areas of Black Wind Langya Mountain, much stronger than ordinary wood, and can be made into wooden armor after soaking in oil, it is a rare treasure tree, everyone in the rivers and lakes wants to get it. However, this kind of wood has been monopolized by Black Wind Wolf Tooth Mountain, and it is not so easy to get it. ”
"If you can't buy it, you can buy it, if you can't buy it, you can steal it, there is always a way to get it."
"Just like the time of the Hundred Cave Sect?"
"That's right, just like the time of the Hundred Cave Sect." Zhao Zheng smiled.
"Okay, I've figured it out about the wood, what's going on with the traitor's head?" Zihuan asked.
"That's a long question."
"How long?"
"In short, I can't finish three or five sentences."
"In that case, let's talk about it next time." Zihuan stopped as she spoke, and snorted forward.
Zhao Zheng raised his eyes and saw that he had already walked to a fork in the road, and the two of them lived in different places, each located on a different road, and they had to be separated if they went further. The matter about the traitor's head is not a big deal, so there is no need to rush to explain it to Zihuan. When he remembered this verse, he arched his hand and said, "Well, I'll talk about it next time, so as not to delay your rest." ”
"See you later, just now you wished Baili Liancheng a good night's sleep, and now I also wish you a good night's sleep." Zihuan blinked her beautiful eyes and walked towards the fork in the road to the south.
Zhao Zhengze walked along the fork in the east to his residence, and on the surface, he walked back alone. This is not the case. In the hazy moonlight. There are an unknown number of Sword Forging Villa masters lurking. These people secretly protect him every day.
He also lived in the private room used for recuperation, which was located in the hinterland of the Sword Casting Villa, and was inhabited by all the masters of the villa and the celebrities of the rivers and lakes.
Pushing open the door, the bedroom that should have been empty turned out to be empty. At a square table, a raunchy woman in black sat with unkempt hair. The face sank like water. There was no light in the room, there was a faint moonlight, and she sat under the moonlight like a black bat that had become a spirit.
For such a person, anyone would not be too comfortable to see him, but Zhao Zheng was very happy to see this person.
Because this person is a flower Xiangrong, the Flying Nymphatribution. Flowers want to look!
Since the fight ended, this is the first time Zhao Zheng has seen Hua Xiangrong, and it is not so easy to meet this elusive female senior.
"It turned out that it was the seniors who came, and I didn't know about it before. Came back a little late. It's a sin to keep your seniors waiting here for a long time. Sin. Zhao Zheng bowed down and said apologetically.
"It's not a sin for you to come back late, but it's a sin to lose the fight. Come, pull out that first sword and open my eyes. Hua Xiangrong glanced at her eyes and said lightly.
Zhao Zheng did as he said, pulled out the Zichu sword inserted in the sheath, pulled a sword flower, and then spread it on the palm of his hand and presented it to Hua Xiangrong to see.
Hua Xiangrong stared at Zi Chujian for a while, his gaze changed a few times, and he nodded: "No wonder Sword Casting Villa has set up such a big battle and made so many movements, this is indeed a good sword that has never been born in the world." You have this sword to help, it's like a tiger with wings, and it will be difficult to meet opponents among young people in the future. ”
"The reason why I was able to get this divine blade as I wished was thanks to the help of my predecessors who helped me reach the Sixth Heaven Realm ahead of schedule, otherwise, I would have to miss out on this sword. This kindness and virtue must be remembered by the younger generations and never forgotten. Zhao Zheng said solemnly.
As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Hua Xiangrong to reply, an old voice sounded outside the house, disturbing the conversation between the old and the young.
"Hehe, it turns out that Zhao Shaoxia jumped to the Sixth Heaven with your help. It is not easy to do this, you need to have a soft internal force like water, and ordinary martial artists may not be able to cultivate this kind of internal force even if the realm is high. The fact that the Flying Nymphastic can do things that most martial artists can't do is really admirable. ”
The sound reached the room, and then the footsteps approached the room, and it seemed that the speaker had deliberately increased his footsteps, not wanting to hide his head and tail.
Hua Xiangrong frowned slightly when she heard this, and set her eyes on the door.
Outside the door walked in an old man with a tall figure, much taller than most. He had gray hair, tied up with a headband and hung down casually at the back of his head. His beard was also gray, as neatly groomed as his hair, and fluttered across his chest with his footsteps. On his left side of his waist, there was a simple and atmospheric sword, which made people feel a sharp meaning before it was unsheathed.
The person who entered the house turned out to be Tie Xuanfeng, the owner of Sword Casting Villa.
He is the owner of the village here, and the village has been protecting Zhao Zheng recently. It's no surprise that he's here.
Zhao Zheng looked at Hua Xiangrong beside him, and then at Tie Xuanfeng at the door, revealing a wry smile, this bedroom is really lively tonight. He has always paid attention to etiquette, and hurriedly greeted Tie Xuanfeng, who had just entered the door, gave a salute, and said hello.
Tie Xuanfeng raised his hand and pressed it falsely, which was regarded as a greeting, and at the same time, he also asked Zhao Zhengshan to be on the side, not to disturb. Obviously, the real target he was when he entered the house this time was Hua Xiangrong, not Zhao Zheng.
The dialogue between these two masters really did not have Zhao Zheng's part of interjecting.
"I hate to be disturbed the most in my life, and I hate to disturb others the most, I wanted to come here quietly and leave quietly, but I didn't expect to alarm your owner, I'm really sorry." Hua Xiangrong didn't move, still sitting in the chair, and didn't change color because of the arrival of Tie Xuanfeng.
"Flower Lady is too worried, since the start of the fight, I have been worried about this, I have slept very little every night, even if you don't disturb me tonight, I can't sleep." Tie Xuanfeng stood still at the table and said.
"The Iron Farmer has exalted me, I am not a woman, and I am not uncommon for such a false title. We don't have much friendship with each other, and it's the first time we've met, so you can just call me by my name. ”
"Calling him by his name is a bit too raw, I'm a lot older than you. Just cheekily call you sister. ”
"Even if you call me sister. I won't call you brother either. Hua Xiangrong snorted coldly.
"This one is out of the way. You can continue to call me the Iron Owner. Tie Xuanfeng smiled slightly.
"Why did the Iron Master come here late at night? It can't be close to a female yaksha set with me, right? ”
"Your question is the opposite, I should have asked you this question. This is my mountain village, and as the owner of the farm, I can go wherever I want, and I don't need a reason at all. ”
"That's right, I'm not invited, you should ask me first."
"Since you also think it is reasonable. It's time to ask yourself why you're here, and the owner of the farm is very interested in it. In fact, I want to ask all those uninvited guests what they are doing here. Alas, this is the difficulty of being the master. Tie Xuanfeng smiled wryly and shook his head. The Forge Sword Villa tree is very popular, and the uninvited guests over the years are by no means a flower that wants to accommodate one.
"Whoever told you that I had to answer your question first? Who told you that Hua Xiangrong is a reasonable person? Hua Xiangrong sneered, picked up the cold teacup, took a sip of tea, and said leisurely. Women have always been unreasonable, and old women are even more unreasonable. The old flowers are even more unreasonable than those old women. ”
"Hehe, it seems that when I met you, I can't explain it." Tie Xuanfeng smiled bitterly again, but the reason for his bitter smile became another.
"It's not that you can't explain, but don't reason with me at all."
"Well, you're a woman, you're younger than me, and you're a guest here, so I can let you. Tonight we will be unreasonable, talk about something else, and say whatever you want. ”
"I don't want to talk, I want to ask."
"Then you ask."
"What are you doing here?" Hua Xiangrong really asked.
"You're here, so I'm here. Zhao Zheng just got the Zichu Sword, and many people are fighting the idea of this sword, I am afraid that he will have an accident in the village, so I have been sending people to protect him secretly. You came uninvited tonight and broke into Zhao Zheng's room, alarming the secret sentinel in the villa. After I learned the news, I was afraid that you would be unfavorable to Zhao Zheng, so I rushed to the neighborhood and secretly observed your every move. I heard the conversation between you and Zhao Zheng outside, and confirmed that you had no ill will towards Zhao Zheng, so I was relieved. You're a guest here, and as the host here, I've got to say hello to you, otherwise it's too rude. Tie Xuanfeng replied.
"I've never been polite, so I don't expect others to be polite to me, it's really redundant for you to come in."
"The more rude you are, the more I have to come in and talk to you."
"Why is that?" Hua Xiangrong's eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked unhappily.
"Because Sword Forge Villa is not a place to trespass casually, there are rules here, no matter who comes here, they must abide by the rules here. You have a relationship with Zhao Zheng and have the right to come to see Zhao Zheng, but you should say hello to the people in Honzhuang, and you shouldn't come here without permission. This is one of the rules of the lodge, and one of the most important ones. Tie Xuanfeng's tone was flat, but there was an irrefutable momentum, which was an aura that only those in high positions could cultivate.
Zhao Zheng heard the smell of gunpowder outside the words, and secretly complained beside him, but he couldn't interject, so he could only stare dryly. He prayed secretly beside him, hoping that the two of them would not quarrel more and more fiercely.
Fortunately, although Hua Xiangrong is unreasonable, he knows how to judge the situation and knows the truth that a strong dragon can't suppress the head snake.
"Okay, I've written down this rule, and when I walk around the villa in the future, I'll definitely say hello to the people in your villa first." Hana Xiangrong unexpectedly agreed.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly eased, and this sentence was exactly what Tie Xuanfeng wanted to hear.
"Thank you sister for this face, as long as you don't break the rules of the village, the village will warmly welcome you, you can live here as long as you want, even if it is a few years or more than ten years." Tie Xuanfeng smiled again.
"In my life, I hate politeness, I hate reasoning, and I hate rules, you have so many rules here, I don't want to live for a long time. In order to avoid trouble, you should make all your rules and regulations clear tonight, so that I don't do it again. Hua Xiangrong said disdainfully.
"Hehe, there are not so many rules for guests in the village, but just a few. Probably don't walk around, don't have unclean hands and feet, don't kill people indiscriminately, etc., there is no need to go into details. ”
"Since there's no need to go into details, let's just stop talking about it, let's talk about something else instead."
"What do you want to say. But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”
"Sword Forge Villa has put so much effort into holding a ring match. gave the self-cast divine blade to Zhao Zheng. I definitely don't want this sword to fall into the hands of others in a short period of time and embarrass the Sword Casting Villa, so I will secretly protect Zhao Zheng. What am I saying and no? Hua Xiangrong asked.
"You're right." Tie Xuanfeng nodded in acknowledgement.
"Zhao Zheng has a special relationship with me, I am his elder, and I don't want him to have an accident. Guizhuang was able to secretly protect Zhao Zheng, and I am really grateful. ”
"You're welcome, it's Honjo's business."
"Okay, you're welcome. You're welcome. But I want to ask, how long do you plan to protect Zhao Zheng? Hua Xiangrong stared at Tie Xuanfeng tightly.
"During Zhao Zheng's stay in the villa, I will mobilize the strength of the whole village to protect him, and after he leaves the Sword Casting Villa, I can't help it, I will only send my brother to protect him alone." Tie Xuanfeng replied.
"Just the little old man of the sword slave alone?"
"Yes."
"I'm afraid that this number is too small, and it's really lonely. I was bored in your village two days ago, and I left here to look around the surrounding area, and I heard some bad news from the underworld. Someone outside was already eyeing Zi Chu Sword. and offered a large price of 1.5 million taels. This is not a small amount, enough to invite the Eight Heavens or even more powerful martial artists to do it. The reason why I came to Zhao Zheng tonight. I just want to inform him of this and tell him to be careful. But then again, with his little ability, even if he is on guard, it is useless, in the final analysis, he still has to rely on others to protect him. If you really have the heart to protect him, it's best to send a few more people, and it is not enough to rely on the sword slave alone. Hua Xiangrong said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Zhao Zheng changed color slightly, this is indeed a headache.
Money is a very dangerous thing, money can make ghosts grind, there are no ghosts in the world, but martial artists do. Zichu Sword has just been born, and someone has offered such a high price, and it will definitely rise in the future. With this amount of money, it is enough to make people lustful for profit and do shady things.
The moment he held Zichu's sword, Zhao Zheng had already stepped on the cusp of danger, which was within his expectations, but not within his ability to bear. He had planned to get the Zichu Sword and immediately defect to the Taishan faction and seek refuge there.
Although this idea is good, there is a long way to go from the Taishan faction here, and even if you don't go anywhere, it will take about ten days to rush directly to the Taishan faction. What's more, he still has two places he wants to go, and there will be more delays in the meantime.
These ten days or even twenty days of travel will become extremely dangerous, and it may be attacked at any time and anywhere!
There are many ways for people in the underworld to seize things, blocking the road and robbing is only the stupidest means, and the more commonly used means are poisoning, disguise, deception, stealing, etc., each of which teaches people to be unguardable.
If he could streamline his itinerary and go to two places less, he would be able to greatly avoid risks, but those two places were the places he really wanted to go.
I went to Guilin Mansion to fulfill my promise, to travel with Shen Luoxia, and to catch a baby.
The purpose of going to Black Wind Langya Mountain was to obtain rare black iron wood, so that he could further cultivate the Nine Veins and Six Yuan Sutras in the future and absorb the essence of Mu Yuan. After he arrived at the Sixth Heaven, he could no longer rely on absorbing the Golden Yuan to improve his strength, and he needed to absorb the essence of the Golden Yuan instead to cultivate a more powerful three-element internal force. If you want to absorb a large amount of wood elements, you have to look for rare and rare trees in the world, and black ironwood is a very good choice. In addition, there is an incognito traitor of the Taishan faction in the Black Wind Langya Mountain, if he can kill this person and send him to the Taishan faction, it will help him gain a firm foothold in the Taishan faction, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
If you don't go to these two places and go directly to the Taishan faction, you will lose a lot of things.
Fortunately, Zhao Zheng will not rush alone, Hua Xiangrong will not watch him have an accident, and Sword Casting Villa will not stand idly by, and things will take a turn for the better.
Tie Xuanfeng twisted his beard and said: "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves, this is indeed a tricky thing." Fortunately, Zhao Shaoxia knows you and can get your protection, so the owner of the village can rest assured. ”
"Listen to you, it seems like you're trying to put all the trouble on me. If that's the case, you're wrong. I'm used to being alone, and I hate ganging up with others the most, and I may leave Zhao Zheng alone at any time. If you want me to protect him, you might as well pray for him to worship the Buddha more, that might be a little more effective. Hua Xiangrong smiled contemptuously.
"You can rest assured that Honjo will not put all the burden on you, in fact, I have other preparations besides my brother." Tie Xuanfeng was halfway through speaking, and suddenly changed to the method of sound transmission, and sent the rest of the words into Hua Xiangrong's ears in the way of sound transmission.
After hearing these words, Hua Xiangrong was a lot more satisfied, nodded and said, "It's about the same, it seems that Zhao Zheng's life is worry-free for the time being." ”
"There is another thing I don't know if Zhao Shaoxia has informed you, after he leaves the Sword Casting Villa, he will go to the Taishan faction and join the Taishan faction. The Taishan faction is a famous faction, and the strength of the sect is far above that of the Sword Casting Villa, and after he arrives there, he will be safer than here. So we just need to do our best to protect him and reach the Tarzan faction safely, and we don't need to protect him for too long. Tie Xuanfeng said this directly, and looked at Zhao Zheng after speaking, "Zhao Shaoxia, am I right?" ”
Now it was finally Zhao Zheng's turn to speak, and he immediately admitted: "Yes, after leaving Guizhuang, I will go to the Taishan Sect as soon as possible, and it will take a month at most." ”
"January is not long, but it is not short, I think with the strength of Sword Casting Villa and my sister, you should be able to protect Zhao Shaoxia's thoughtfulness." Tie Xuanfeng looked at Hua Xiangrong and said confidently.
It was the first time Hua Xiangrong learned about this, and when she heard that she only needed to protect Zhao Zheng for a month, she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. She nodded and said, "It's about the same in a month, so I'll work hard." ”
"With the help of the Flying Lady Yaksha, this matter will be foolproof, and the heart that the owner of the village has been hanging on can finally be put into his stomach." Tie Xuanfeng smiled and arched his hand, "I've finished what needs to be said, if it's okay, I'll leave, so as not to disturb the conversation between the two of you." ”
"I'm fine, the owner of the village, please." Hua Xiangrong didn't return the salute or get up, but just waved it casually towards the door, which was regarded as a send-off.
Tie Xuanfeng shook his head with a smile and floated away.
After there were only two people left in the room, Hua Xiangrong looked at Zhao Zheng again and said, "Boy, just now the owner of the Iron Village told me some plans to protect you secretly, I feel that it is quite reliable, but there are no absolutes, and you should not take it too lightly." After leaving Sword Forged Villa, no matter how many people are around you to protect you, you have to be as careful as possible. I'm here tonight to warn you, and now that it's over, it's time for me to go. We still have the old rules, we can't tell Shen Luoxia about my coming to see you, everything is only known by God, you know what I know, understand? ”
"Juniors understand." Zhao Zheng solemnly agreed.
"Tie Xuanfeng, that old man is gone, my old lady should also go, you should rest early to recuperate." As soon as Hua Xiangrong's words fell, the whole person turned into a black shadow and disappeared.
Zhao Zhenggang wanted to say something, but found that the person in front of him was gone, so he could only swallow the words back into his stomach. He sighed secretly in his heart, and he didn't know when he would be able to reach this elusive martial arts realm, in that case, he wouldn't need to be protected. (To be continued......)
