Chapter 208: Master
Kitano Xuan had no choice but to continue to take the Nine Emperor Princes up the mountain.
It's just that the sky is getting darker, and the two of them don't have any preparations before going up the mountain, if they don't find a place to stop, the two of them will definitely have to sleep outside, and maybe they will be besieged by wolves.
"Why does it look like there's a light in front of you? It can't be some kind of female ghost or something, right? The Nine Emperor Princes squinted and looked ahead, their calves trembling in fright.
Kitano Xuan followed the eyes of the Nine Emperor Princes, there was indeed a glimmer of light there, and it looked like someone should be living there: "Let's go over and take a look, if you're lucky...... Maybe I won't have to sleep in this forest tonight. "Anyway, there are some dangers here, and Kitano Xuan will not put the Nine Emperor Princes in danger.
When the two got closer, it was indeed a small room, but the room was divided into two floors, and it didn't look like Dayong's architectural style.
"Is there anyone here, please? The two of us rushed up the mountain, wondering if we could stay here for one night? Kitano Xuan glanced at the Nine Emperor Princes with a face full of fear, if it weren't for the Nine Emperor Princes, he would definitely find a random place to serve a bowl.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the house: "Is there still someone going up the mountain so late?" Could it be that you didn't have a plan before you went up the mountain? The door opened, and what greeted him was a little old man with a not very good face, who looked like he was annoyed by the sudden interruption of Kitano Xuan and the Nine Emperor Princes.
Kitano Xuan had to say very apologetically: "It's really tempting to disturb, our two brothers are also presumptuous because they have urgent matters in their hearts." If it's inconvenient for you, we can spend the night in your small yard. Kitano Xuan rubbed his hands, he was already very satisfied with being able to live in this small courtyard, and he didn't ask for it to live in the house at all.
The little old man sneered, pointed to the Nine Emperor Princes behind Beiye Xuan and said, "Look at how scared your brother is, get together for one night?" Do you think he can fall asleep in my little yard? Why don't you come in yet?! Kitano Xuan didn't expect this old man to be a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted man.
After getting the permission of the little old man, the Nine Emperor Princes hurriedly pulled Kitano Xuan to the house: "Thank you so much for this old man, our two brothers have some silver here, if you don't dislike it, you can take it......"
"Disliked? Will there be anyone in this world who hates silver? Will you? The little old man unceremoniously interrupted the words of the Nine Emperor Princes, and with a bad face, he took the fire fold and prepared to go to the fire.
The Nine Emperors looked embarrassed, thinking that he was dignified His Royal Highness the Nine Emperors, and now he was about to be ridiculed by this old man: "What I said is what I said, then I'm ...... I'll just put this silver here, if you don't have enough, I'll give you some more......" The Nine Emperor Prince silently took out two hundred taels from his bosom and put them on the table.
Although the little old man said that there was still a fire in his hand, his eyes kept looking over here: "Yo, I really didn't expect that you are quite rich, young man, you can easily take out two hundred taels of silver, and you don't look like you are poor and have no money to treat your illness, so you can find a master?" Obviously, the little old man was pleased by the Nine Emperors' two hundred taels of silver, and his attitude was much more polite.
The Nine Emperor Princes smiled and was about to speak, when they saw that Kitano Xuan on the side had a wrong look in his eyes, and the Nine Emperor Princes also thought of something, and asked excitedly, "How do you know the purpose of our going up the mountain?" Who the hell are you?! "This little old man looks like he is just an ordinary person, and the Nine Emperor Princes don't believe that he has any secrets.
The little old man shook his head and brought some hot food to the two: "Me? I'm just an ordinary little old man, what can I be out of? Eat, I've just done it today, lucky for you. After saying that, he sat opposite Kitano Xuan, ready to watch the two of them eat these meals.
"Old man, have you always lived here? I don't know if you've heard of a legend about a master in the world? Kitano Xuan picked up a steamed bun and chewed it slowly, the little old man in front of him looked no different from a normal person, but how could he be an ordinary person who could live in this deep mountain?
The little old man shook his head: "Little old man, I have lived in this mountain for decades, but I have never heard of any legends of the world's masters, these are just you people who are idle and have nothing to do and make up their own nonsense, the funny thing is that one by one of you actually believe it is true, and what do you say that I have set up a fantasy on this mountain and ordinary people can't enter?" It's just nonsense! ”
The Nine Emperor Princes were gobbling up food, and after listening to the little old man's words, he hurriedly said, "What did you say?" If these things were all made up, how could so many people believe them? Do you think we're going to believe you if you say something so casually? ”
But the little old man smiled mysteriously.
Kitano Xuan stopped talking. He admitted that he had some impulses at the beginning, thinking that this worldly master on the mountain would definitely be able to cure Su Xiaoya's amnesia. But now that Kitano Xuan has calmed down, he faintly regrets it, what if this master in this world is just a legend? His hard-won confidence was shattered again?
"Then again, you two are so young, why did you come to find someone from outside the world? Is it for fame? The little old man knew that the two men in front of him not only looked young, but also had money, and at a glance he knew that they were the sons of a family who did not worry about eating and drinking. As long as this kind of boy doesn't do some ridiculous things in this life, he won't have anything to do in this life, let alone come to a master outside the world for treatment.
The Nine Emperor Princes stopped talking, and after cautiously looking at Kitano Xuan's face, he glared at the little old man fiercely. This little old man is such a bad thing!
Kitano Xuan put down the things in his hand and said his things without care: "...... Now that we are at a loss, even the divine doctor can't cure us, and we can only put our hope on the people who are outside the world. What Kitano didn't say was that if even the worldly masters were fake, then he could only consider going farther away to find a solution.
The little old man said, "I might as well tell you the truth, this so-called master of the world is just a legend." I have lived in the mountains for so many years, and I have never heard of or seen any people who are outside the world, and there will not be a person called a world master in this whole mountain. The little old man looked a little gloating.
Seeing that Kitano Xuan's face changed suddenly, the Nine Emperor Princes immediately glared at the little old man fiercely: "Okay, what are you talking about?!" Since we were able to come to this mountain, we would only come here after getting all the news, so don't talk nonsense here and disturb people's hearts! ”
The little old man smiled, but looked at Kitano Xuan and said, "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you brother doesn't understand, but you're probably the clearest in your heart." ”
Beiye Xuan couldn't eat anymore, he already had this premonition after he went up the mountain, he always felt that this little old man spoke strangely, and he also felt that this mountain was weird, what kind of worldly master would live in this kind of place?
Seeing that Kitano Xuan was pondering, the little old man began to clean up the food on the table by himself: "You young people just like to listen to the wind and rain, you look at those people waiting for good luck at the foot of the mountain, I am afraid that they will achieve nothing in this life......"
"I'm afraid there are other reasons for the master to live in seclusion here, right?" Kitano Xuan suddenly raised his head and said.
The Nine Emperor Princes, who were desperately stuffing meat into their mouths, froze, master? What the hell is he, the third brother, talking about? It can't be that the whole person is stupid after being stimulated by this little old man, right? Where does this little old man look like a tall man?
The little old man also turned his head to look at Kitano Xuan in surprise: "Young man, I'm not a master, I'm just an ordinary master, I'm not a person with the outsider who can pinch and calculate and arrange illusions." ”
Kitano Xuan smiled, they should have realized that this old man was strange when they found this room. Everyone said that this mountain was inhabited only by the world's masters, but how did this little old man appear? If the little old man was not a master in the world, he would definitely have to go down the mountain to buy things on weekdays, how could he not be discovered by the people at the foot of the mountain?
"Definitely. This so-called outsider is just a reputation, and if you have real skills, you naturally won't care about these names. But my ninth brother and I went up the mountain this time just to be able to see the old man, please ask the old man to think of a way to restore my wife's memory! Kitano Xuan said that he was about to kneel down and beg this little old man.
The Nine Emperors hurriedly went to help Beiye Xuan, this is now the most favored prince of the Yongping Imperial Family, everyone knows that Beiye Xuan may be the next emperor, how can this little old man be able to make Beiye Xuan kneel?
"Third brother, what are you doing here? Just say it well, why kneel to him like this? "The Nine Emperor Princes want to pull Kitano Xuan up from the ground, but how can Kitano Xuan, who is iron-hearted and unable to kneel, be able to pull it by the Nine Emperor Princes?
Seeing this, the little old man had no choice but to sigh: "That's it, the dignified King Jin's kneeling, my old guy can't stand it, you get up first." After speaking, seeing that Kitano Xuan still didn't want to get up, the little old man said, "If you don't get up, I won't be satisfied with you." ”
Hearing this, Kitano Xuan quickly stood up and stubbornly followed behind the little old man.
Only now is the Nine Emperors willing to believe that this little old man does have a little ability, otherwise the two of them didn't say anything, how would this little old man know that Bei Ye Xuan is now the Jin prince of Dayong? Doesn't this just show that this little old man is still useful?
