Chapter 27: The Circle
Lu Ming followed behind Li Tie and passed several clothing stores along the way, but did not stop, but turned around and gradually walked out of Boxing Wanmao Plaza.
Lu Ming was puzzled in his heart, but Li Tie walked faster and faster, and didn't give him a chance to ask questions at all.
After walking some distance, Lu Ming had already seen that there were no shops at the end of the road, which had already reached the edge of Boxing Wanmao Plaza.
At this moment, Li Tie stopped, gestured to Lu Ming, and turned the corner directly, Lu Ming immediately followed, and the two stood in front of a lonely house.
The one in front is not so much a shop as an ordinary residential building, with vermilion red tiles, like a classic bungalow from the previous era, with high walls and two lions with teeth and claws in front of the vermilion lacquer gate, which is out of place with the surrounding environment.
Even the merchandise business number did not exist, which made Lu Ming suspect that Li Tie was on the wrong path.
Li Tie stepped forward familiarly, grabbed the knocker of the vermilion lacquer door and knocked gently, and then waited in place.
In a moment, the light suddenly turned on in the passage in front of the door, followed by the sound of a crack opening.
The vermilion lacquer door creaked, and a head poked out of the crack in the open door, and his eyes quickly scanned it, and finally landed on Li Tie's body.
Symbolically Chong Li Tie nodded slightly, and said, "Come in." ”
Li Tie immediately followed with a smile, and carefully pushed the door open a little before he could stuff his strong body, Lu Ming was not so troublesome, and drilled sideways.
The two walked in, Lu Ming looked around, the small bridge and flowing water, the white walls and tiles, just like the antique layout, the taste of the owner of the house was about the same, he was very kind to see him, nodding frequently, with an aftertaste.
Li Tie didn't squint, maybe he had come too many times, and he had no sense of freshness, he walked boldly, and there was wind under his feet.
Lu Ming frowned slightly, put away his mind to watch the scenery, and also took three steps and two steps, following closely.
Li Tie pushed the door in, Lu Ming also entered, and looked around, the room was brightly lit and bright, an old man in Tang costume sat on the Taishi chair, holding a cup of freshly brewed green tea in his hand, the heat was curling, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing.
Over the age of sixties, his beard and hair are all white, his face is clear, and with his retro dress, he is like a former elegant gentleman, with an extraordinary bearing.
Lu Ming had already recognized him as the one who opened the door for them just now, this big mansion, the old man lived alone, and he could clean up in an orderly manner, it was really not simple.
"Master Zhang, excuse me. Li Tie hugged his fists and said, "My brother lacks a good outfit, please make him one, the style is still the same." ”
The old man known as Master Liu frowned, his face was a little ugly, and he glared at Lu Ming, "What do you want." ”
"Me. Lu Ming was stunned, obviously not expecting Master Liu to ask such a question.
"It's just that the color is black...... Li Tie interjected.
"I've got no problem, talkative. Master Liu interrupted Li Tie's words, turned his head and continued to ask Lu Mingdao, "Is it the Western modern style you want him to wear, or my ancient costume style practice clothes." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Li Tie with disgust, and turned to look at Lu Ming with expectant eyes.
Lu Ming only knew at this time that he was here to buy a practice uniform or a combat uniform, it seems that this Master Liu is the kind of high-level clothing master, with a trace of expectation, Lu Ming will think in his heart, how to describe it in detail. Hearing this, Master Liu's eyes became brighter and brighter.
What Lu Ming told Master Liu was the kind of clothes he was wearing, which seemed to be quite in line with what Master Liu thought.
Master Liu held a tape measure in his hand, measured the size for Lu Ming, and muttered in his mouth, "It's right, it's just right." ”
Master Liu put down the objects in his hand, led the two to the back room, rummaged through the cabinets, and found a delicate black suit.
He gestured towards Lu Ming's body, held scissors in one hand and needle and thread in the other, and tore his clothes on the spot and changed them.
The two hands are like wild horses that have escaped, and their movements are getting faster and faster, so fast that they are dazzling, dizzying, miraculous, and magical, and the two of them are dumbfounded.
In just thirty minutes, it seemed that the clothes tailored for Lu Ming were completed.
Lu Ming couldn't wait to wear it on his body, it fit his body perfectly, the silk was silky, there was no trace of redundancy in the clothes, and the opening of the clothes was just right, without a trace of redundancy.
People rely on clothes, Lu Ming's originally somewhat lazy and decadent image instantly became capable, and his edge was exposed.
Lu Ming was overjoyed, but Li Tie showed a worried look in his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Master Liu, is the price the same?"
"It's not business as usual. Master Liu waved his hand.
Li Tie's face immediately wilted, and even Lu Ming was a little apprehensive in his heart.
"Don't be nervous, I'll take you so much?" Master Liu stretched out two fingers at the two.
"Two hundred thousand?" Li Tiehu questioned.
"Two thousand. Master Liu said with a smile.
"Why, why?" Before it was Lu Ming's turn to be happy, Li Tie roared dissatisfiedly, "I received 50,000 yuan for what you always did casually, and 2,000 for his old collection of art, it's not fair!"
"If it weren't for the face of the black cat, I wouldn't have made you this dress for 100,000 yuan. Master Liu replied, looking at Li Tie's gaze full of disgust.
......
"Don't drag it, it's silk, and the material is the same as yours. Li Tie said, "Don't dislike it, buddy is just like this, how domineering and handsome, but it's you, how can you look at that old man." ”
"Now tell me what we're doing here. Lu Ming watched the two of them walk towards a barren land, and couldn't help but ask.
"Do you remember what I told you about the classification of ancient martial arts?" Li Tie said as he walked.
"Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang?" Although his physical condition was very bad that day, he vaguely remembered this.
"That's right, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang is the grading and demarcation of ancient martial arts, each level is divided into upper, middle and lower grades, such as me, it is the yellow-level middle grade, you are better than me, either you are the yellow level of the upper grade, or it may be the yellow level of the middle grade, and the place we go to can test your true level for you, and this place is the dark world. ”
"The Underworld?"
"That's right, we won't go into much detail outside the topic of the dark world, and we'll talk about it when we get there. Li Tie stopped, and there was a lot of excitement around, "It's here, it's here." ”
Lu Ming also followed and looked around, only to see a barren land around, not to mention human figures, not even a root grass. It was cloudy and moonless, and in the distance was a burial ground, full of ghosts and fires.
There is no store in front of the village and no store in the back, the wind is miserable, what is the dark world, Lu Ming is at a loss.
"Put on your big hat, from now on, you don't call me by my real name, call me the black lion. Just as Lu Ming put on the black big hat he had just purchased, Li Tie not only put on a black big hat, but also put on a black lion's head mask on his face, and said to Lu Ming.
After a while, a group of people wearing masks and big hats arrived, led by a man wearing a black cat's head.
"Black Cat Boss. Li Tie greeted the man.
The black cat nodded slightly, and waved his big sword, "Let's go." ”
Lu Ming followed Li Tie and joined the group.
I saw the black cat take out a quaint token in his hand, and there were words in his mouth, and several beams of light shot out of the token, inadvertently shooting into the ground respectively, and disappeared into the ground.
Immediately after that, a sharp whirlwind appeared on the ground out of thin air, and light lit up from the ground under his feet, outlining a formation.
Seeing this formation, Lu Ming's pupils shrank, and a storm broke out in his heart, "Teleportation array." ”
After confirming all the details, Lu Ming was completely sure that this was a simple but standard teleportation array.
The base of the formation still looks very new, and according to his judgment, this formation has not been built for more than two hundred years.
"This is not a question of whether ancient martial arts are ancient martial arts or not, those who can arrange this kind of formation are at least the monks of the foundation building period, true immortal cultivators. ”
In other words, it was possible to meet an immortal cultivator like him in the dark world, and Lu Ming's heart was immediately extremely solemn, and his originally relaxed mood gradually became nervous.
