Chapter 340: Out of the Shadows

On the second day, in the city of broken swords, in the familiar restaurant, Huang Yijian looked at the table full of dishes that could usually eat three bowls of dishes, but he seemed to be lacking in interest, and sighed:

"When is this day a head, Folding Sword City is so big, I really want to go out. ”

The sword slave sandwiched a chicken leg for her and said with a smile:

"Hey, Folding Sword City is not too big, I'll accompany you everywhere to see how it is. I heard that there is a new shadow theater stall in the west of the city, and many people go to see it, if you are really bored, we will go over after dinner, just in time for the evening play. ”

Huang Yijian drooped his head and nodded, a little reluctantly, but there was no way. She had traveled everywhere in the city over the years, and if anyone wanted to talk to her about poetry and songs, she might not be able to answer.

But if someone asks this little girl, which house in this city has a high room and which house is low, how to go to the best restaurant, and who to buy the best sugar gourd, this little girl can sit down and talk to you for three days and three nights.

And Huang Tingxiu, who has been silent, is quite graceful when she sits there and chews the food in her mouth slowly when she doesn't deliberately provoke others and cause a fight. The heroism between the eyebrows is also hidden, and people who don't know him will definitely regard him as a gentle lady when they see it.

She was listening to the conversation between the old and the young, and suddenly her heart jumped, and then she looked downstairs, and a smile appeared on her calm face.

After a while, a handsome young man in a pure purple robe walked up from the staircase and sat directly next to Huang Yijian, and the three of them saw that this person was Chen An.

The sword slave glanced at Chen An up and down, and pretended to be surprised:

"Yo, who should I be, it turned out to be the pride of our Folding Sword City, Lord Chen Anchen. Lord Chen, you don't practice in the Purple Heaven Palace, what are you doing when you come back. ”

Chen An smiled slightly, took out a large token with the word "Lin" written on it from his waist, and placed it on the table. At this time, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper both ran over attentively, and the shopkeeper asked with a smile that he thought was the most sincere:

"Your Excellency, you want something to eat and drink. ”

In fact, they began to pay attention to Chen An from the moment he appeared in a conspicuous purple robe. I have seen all kinds of guests, not only the shopkeeper, Xiao Er has also practiced the ability to recognize people, and he can roughly judge the identity of the guests by virtue of his clothes and temperament.

And although they have never seen Chen An's clothes, the smooth and soft satin brocade is as beautiful as the clouds in the sky, and even people who don't know how to do it can see that it is worth a lot. Then after Chen An slapped the token in his hand, Xiao Er's eyes were sharp and he saw the big word.

At this time, who doesn't know that this handsome young man like an immortal is an immortal from the real immortal family.

"Just bring me a jug of your best wine, and ask them what else they need, and I'll count it out." ”

Chen An knew what his identity meant in Folding Sword City, and in the eyes of the Ten Immortals of Folding Sword, he might be regarded as a colleague, but in the hearts of ordinary people, he was an unattainable immortal. However, his temperament does not like others to pursue him, so he does not pretend to be profound, he should drink, and he should pay the bill.

Jian Nu and Huang Tingxiu didn't need it, and after Huang Yijian saw Chen An, he instantly came to his spirit and appetite, and hurriedly said to Xiao Er:

"Just a plate of stuffed chicken, a plate of golden crab, and a plate of roast beef. ”

Xiao Er nodded repeatedly, and then trotted away. The shopkeeper was a little excited for a while, the immortals under the heavenly palace were extremely mysterious and rarely appeared in the eyes of the world. If it weren't for the fact that Zhenlei Zhenren drank a lot of wine here a few days ago and told everyone about immortals, then today Chen An would be kicked out if he stood on the street and shouted loudly that he was an immortal.

Chen An also noticed that the rich shopkeeper beside him had not left, so he asked:

"Something?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and then plucked up the courage to say:

"The immortal came to make the small shop flourish, the villain admired the immortal for a long time, and heard that the immortal was powerful and powerful, so there was something I wanted to ask the immortal. ”

Chen An frowned slightly, he didn't want to have more trouble in Folding Sword City, he wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered that solving the troubles of mortals could also earn merit. No matter how small the mosquito's legs are, they are also meat, and he doesn't think that the demon is so easy to kill, so he accumulates a little bit first.

So he nodded and said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

The shopkeeper was relieved when he agreed, and hurriedly said:

"Legend has it that a demon went out of the city recently, looting the goods of many merchants, although there were no casualties, but this is the loss of those of us who do business. So I want to ask the immortal to write down a talisman so that I can go outside the city tomorrow to pick up the goods in advance and shake off the demon. ”

The sword slave shook his head when he heard this, he often came to the restaurant here, and he was familiar with the shopkeeper, and he spoke more bluntly at the moment:

"That demon can't even fold the sword and the ten immortals, and I'm afraid a small talisman can't resist it. I advise you to inform them that it would be better to send this shipment back in a few days. ”

The shopkeeper sighed and said with a sad face:

"Those goods are all designated ingredients, and if these ingredients are missing, I am afraid that the things made by the small shop will not be liked by the guests. And the ingredients can't be left for a long time, and they will change their flavor after a long time, so I'm afraid that it won't be closed in a few days. ”

Chen An smiled slightly and comforted:

"Don't panic, I'm here to kill this demon. As for the talisman, I can also write you one, but it is a talisman that prolongs the freshness of the ingredients, so you should listen to him and send it back a few days later. ”

When the shopkeeper heard that Chen An was here to kill the demon, he immediately smiled, and as for the ingredients, he was not urgently needed, and he could go to other places in the city to buy some as a substitute.

The shopkeeper promised Chen An that everything in the restaurant would be free for him in the future, and then he left with a thousand thanks.

After seeing the shopkeeper leave, the sword slave looked at Chen An with a solemn face, and then said:

"Boy, did you really take on the task of killing the Adversary?"

Chen An nodded lightly, and the sword slave sighed when he saw this, and said:

"I advise you to give up as soon as possible, when Zhenlei Zhenren came to me for a drink, he inadvertently said that the demon is not only a cultivator of the transcendent realm, but also extremely good at concealment and disguise, such a demon is very difficult to deal with, even if you have purple true eyes and can see through his true body, but you can't beat it." ”

Chen An's face did not show a look of retreat when he heard this, and said with a smile:

"I can't deal with the demon of the transcendent realm, but don't forget, there are also the Ten Immortals of the Folding Sword and the female palace master here, I just need to find out when the time comes, as for the arrest, then I don't have to worry about it. After I catch it, I will give the Ten Immortals some more benefits, let me cut off the head of the devil, and go back to hand in the task. ”

The sword slave was stunned, and then smiled and said:

"It seems that Daoyou has already figured out a way, but the old man is too worried. However, after Daoist friends return to the Purple Heaven Palace, don't forget our agreement. ”

Chen An nodded, and then summoned out a hammer sword. But it was several times smaller, and the white bowl contained a neat small sword and a sledgehammer, and said:

"I naturally won't forget it, but it's very dangerous to hunt down the devil, and these magic weapons of mine have been worn out a little, and I hope that Daoist friends can repair one or two on my behalf. ”

The sword slave looked at the white bowl, nodded, and said angrily:

"How many years have passed, I don't know if the old man's iron-making skills have degraded. ”

Huang Tingxiu's eyes flashed with a strange light, and she said with some expectation:

"It's exciting to see his skills again. ”

The sword slave smiled, a look of nostalgia in his eyes. At this time, the three dishes ordered by Huang Yijian arrived, and the little girl hurriedly feasted on them.

When the sword slave saw this little girl who didn't eat a mouthful of food just now, he said curiously:

"Hey, what's the matter with you little guy, I thought you would become a god and stop eating when you came back from the secret realm. ”

Huang Yijian glanced at the sword slave, and said angrily:

"You didn't even ask me when you ordered, it's all your favorite dishes, where do I have an appetite. ”

The sword slave's face was embarrassed, and he didn't say anything more.

Chen An shook his head with a smile, and asked Jian Nu about the demon, the old guy Jian Nu was also very well-informed, and after a conversation, Chen An also knew the general situation.

It turned out that this demon had appeared long before Chen An arrived in Folding Sword City, and at first he killed some cultivators and bandits outside the city, and was praised as a hero by the people and was welcomed into the city. Later, it was in broad daylight that he did something to devour people, which attracted the attention of the only Zhuyang real person who remained in the city among the Ten Immortals of Folding Sword.

But this demon is extremely cunning and unpredictable, and many of the people who have sent out Sword Folding City cannot catch him. And then there was silence for a while, and it was not until a few days ago that there was another storm.

Hearing this, Chen An thought about it, and secretly said that this demon should be hiding in the city now, so he looked at the crowd below.

At this time, he Chen An's eyes froze, he stood up, and looked towards the stairs, the sword slave looked at him, and after a while, a tall woman in a green skirt appeared from the stairs, it was the female palace master, so she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

The female palace master came and did not sit down, but called the shopkeeper to arrange a secluded place, and the shopkeeper did not know the true identity of the demure woman in front of him, and looked at Chen An inquiringly.

Chen An shook his head and let the shopkeeper go down, a trace of anger appeared on the face of the female palace master, and then glanced at the other token on Chen An's waist, looked at Chen An and said lightly:

"The Purple Sky Patrol is just the most basic Purple Guardian, as the Palace Master of the Lower Palace, I have the same status as the Purple Rank disciple, although you are a disciple of the Upper Palace, no one has taught you this rule. ”

Chen An smiled slightly, his eyes glanced not far away, the female palace master was puzzled, and when he looked at it, he didn't see anything abnormal.

"Look with the true eyes of the purple pole. ”

Chen An said softly, when the female palace master heard this, after a slight hesitation, he immediately cast his purple true eyes to see that he saw a dark shadow in the crowd.

However, the shadow seemed to be felt, fleeting, and immediately disappeared into the crowd.

The women's palace master frowned slightly, and understood Chen An's actions just now, so he sat opposite him, and the two of them quietly looked at the crowd below.
