Chapter Seventy-Eight: Friendship (6,200 words)
When Uncle Libo said his uncle's 'bad words', Wang Anfeng, as a junior, could only cough lightly, as if he hadn't heard it, and then raised his eyes to look at Dongfang Ximing, who was sitting still, his face was uncontrollable and gentle, and he said softly:
"There are a lot of people here, why don't you go up and talk?"
Dongfang Ximing's cheeks were flushed, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, his voice was weak.
"Hmm."
Wang Anfeng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and returned to the room in the inn with Dongfang Ximing and Gong Yu, who were blushing all over the face.
When he walked up the stairs with aging wood, his expression was cold, as if he was not interested in everything, Si Kou Tingfeng leaned on the side of the handrail, his eyes fell on Dongfang Ximing, whose face was flushed, and he took a fixed look, did not show any abnormality, and stepped sideways to get out of the way.
Then I found that when Gong Yu walked by, she seemed to look at her more, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at each other, and then the two passed by.
For the time being, he went to Wang Anfeng's guest room first, and Gong Yu went to the guest room reopened by Lin Qiaofu and the others, and gave time to Wang Anfeng and the three of them, and Xu Sixing, who was in a charred state in the room, was still lying in place, motionless.
Wang Anfeng walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and gradually calmed down the hidden ups and downs in his heart with the delicate touch of rubbing the white porcelain tea set with his palm, he turned around, put the tea on the table, and gently pushed it in the direction of Dongfang Ximing.
The ripples of water in the tea cup.
Whether it is Dongfang Ximing or Wang Anfeng, before this, thousands of ways to open their mouths have been conceived in their minds, thinking about what to say in order to dispel the sense of alienation and strangeness between the two, whether they should comfort the frightened Dongfang Ximing first.
But at the end of the day, I found that I couldn't say a word when I practiced.
In the end, it was the abandonment that broke the embarrassment that gradually grew between the two, and the white-haired old man secretly kicked Xu Sixing, who had ruined the atmosphere, under the bed, and then sat down on the table, poured a large mouthful of tea on his neck, opened the deadlock, and said:
"That old man of your family, Dongfang ...... What's going on in the East, oh, yes, is Dongfang Zhaohai still angry? β
"Do you want me to lead the sheep for him?"
Dongfang Xi paused for a moment, and then remembered who the name Dongfang Zhaohai represented, and his face showed a relaxed look, and said:
"Grandpa, he's in good health."
"And grandpa doesn't seem to like ...... eating mutton"
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Liqidao's face, and he snorted, the corners of Wang Anfeng's mouth twitched slightly, with his familiarity with the old man, he would never believe that Libo would casually say a useless word, and sent a message to Liqidao to ask why he mentioned sheep.
Liqi Dao coughed lightly, handed over a look, and said.
"It's the custom in the northwest, we stayed there for a short time, and whoever burps a fart will lead the sheep over, eat a meal together, go out vertically, come back horizontally, lead the sheep over, and then in the afternoon the whole village will go to his house for dinner."
"Ahem, Dongfang Zhaohai, this old boy can't do it, he doesn't teach anything."
"It's not a good feeling that you didn't answer when you say something, and you have to punish him next time we meet, and you have to punish him."
The corners of Wang Anfeng's mouth twitched slightly.
Liqi Dao snorted, and said: "I didn't expect this guy to change his appetite, he often asked me to lead the sheep for him back then." β
Dongfang Ximing breathed a sigh of relief, the old man in front of him felt very familiar, and he was not suspicious, and said curiously:
"Is that so?"
Thinking that it was impossible for the old brother who died back then to climb out to refute himself, Penglai in the East China Sea was tens of thousands of miles away from here, even if the old guy could survey the fate of heaven and earth, he would not think about it, he nodded and said:
"That is, our group of people knew back then, the old man said that one is one, and two is two, and he never talks nonsense."
Dongfang Ximing nodded and said to himself:
"Then the next time I go back, I'll also lead the sheep for my grandfather......"
Lidao's smile stiffened, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
The corners of Wang Anfeng's mouth twitchedββ
After arranging his uncle, he began to arrange his grandfather, and he had no room to interject. Mr. Win, Master, Second Master, Third Master, Dao Chief.
What am I going to do?
Fortunately, Liqi Dao didn't say much on this topic, although he knew more about the Dongfang family than most people on the rivers and lakes, but the Dongfang family had been in the world for a few years, and there were many things that he didn't know very well.
"By the way, then who, Dongfang Yanyong, how is it?"
Dongfang Ximing was obviously taken aback by this name, and muttered:
"Well, that's our old master......"
Liqi Dao raised his eyebrows and said, "The old master, that is, his son is now the head of the family?" Hey ......"
"What about the Dongfang Sect?"
Dongfang Ximing replied:
"Yes, it's the Great Elder of the Oriental Family......
The abandonment fell silent.
The head of the four great families?
Conferring Great Elders?!
Dongfang Ximing saw that although there were not many wrinkles on his face, he already had white hair, his eyebrows were pale gray, and he was obviously not young, from what he said just now, he seemed to be familiar with several elders of the Dongfang family, he was curious, plucked up his courage, and said:
"Old gentleman, are you very, very familiar with the elders of our Dongfa family?"
Just by saying these few words, his face turned a little red.
Liqi Dao came back to his senses, glanced at her, saw the curiosity on the girl's face, and the nervous feeling that could not be hidden, groped the beard on his chin with his right hand, and replied casually:
"Well, it's quite familiar."
Dongfang Ximing's face relaxed.
The old man slowly added the second sentence.
"I beat ...... back then"
Dongfang Ximing: "......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In Xianping County, Liangzhou City is one of the three state towns, and there are county towns of different sizes scattered around it, and the county town is surrounded by small towns and villages, which spread outward, and Liangzhou City serves as the center to regulate the policies of the entire vast land.
Correspondingly, the major events of the entire Liangzhou City will also appear in the eyes of the people who care about the surrounding towns, starting from Liangzhou City, along the official road to the southwest side of the place where more than 100 miles, there is a county seat, as the acropolis of Liangzhou City, the degree of prosperity is far from being comparable to ordinary counties.
Although it is not as good as the enjoyment of the state city and county town, there is basically no shortage of anything you want, there is a rich and fatty food, and there is also a soul cave that spends a lot of money, just look at how much silver you have in your hand.
Where the city is located, one side is close to the mountain, so there are only three open three city gates, each city gate is connected to a main street inside the city, straight and wide, staggered in the middle, there is the whole county, the most prosperous place, and some are the places where money can be spent.
The most striking building in the southwest corner of the city, or the whole county, is a seventeen-storey wooden structure restaurant, at the highest point, there is an arched covered bridge, connecting the two tallest buildings on the left and right, the covered bridge has an arched wooden roof, each thirteen steps on both sides have carved railings, and the rest is empty.
Standing on it, can be the whole city, the people will look down on the bottom of the eyes in the future, the Mid-Autumn Festival is only past this moment, the lotus flower is carved under the carved railing, one inch beyond the ground of the covered bridge, the red satin is tied on it, the wind blows through, the fire is like a fire, there is a bit of support scenery.
A table was set up on it, and a young man squinted his eyes, as if in contemplation, raised his eyes to look at the vast sky, raised his hand to drink a glass of wine, and said with a smile:
"It's a clear sky."
"When the big white floats."
Opposite sat a man who could not see his age, with an old-fashioned expression and a heroic face, but he often seemed to encounter difficult problems, there were a few deep wrinkles at the center of his eyebrows, and at this moment his hands were flat on his knees, his back was straight, and a low voice came from his throat, saying:
"It's almost unstoppable."
I don't know why, his voice is not small, but except for the young man in front of him, no one else hears it, whether it is a ranger who is holding a sword and stepping into a knife, or a gentleman who is a beautiful man in his arms, and he is a romantic and unscrupulous scholar, he has not noticed these two men who should be very prominent and conspicuous.
As if these two didn't exist.
The young man was not affected at all, poured a glass of wine, took a sip of wine, and said lightly: "I know, the wine is free to learn a lot of things, knows all kinds of martial arts, among the scattered people in the rivers and lakes, it is the most difficult one, thirteen famous swords with weapons in their hands to form a formation, can slow down his journey for three days, it is already extremely rare." β
"Besides, there haven't been a few dead yet."
"I don't know if he was going to find out more because he had good thoughts in his heart and was merciful."
The heroic man on the opposite side said in a deep voice: "Four-rank martial artists, even if they are forcibly promoted, they are not consumables for you to squander. β
The young man narrowed his eyes.
"Yes."
The heroic man didn't seem to see the unhappiness of the young man opposite, and said:
"You have lost too many famous swords in the previous siege of the target, not only the sword slave was killed in battle, but even the sword was not recovered, especially the giant sword, which is particularly important, Shangfeng has been dissatisfied, you need to be cautious when acting on your own."
The young man looked into the distance, thinking of his two failures, his expression was a little gloomy, and he used drinking to cover his expression, and when he put down the wine cup, his face had calmed down, and he laughed, and said:
"Calling the famous sword master a sword slave, the tone is really not small."
The heroic man said lightly: "With the qi and spirit of the famous sword, forcibly improve the martial arts cultivation, the so-called sword master is just a container for the famous sword qi, without the famous sword, the cultivation will even gradually decrease, such a person, not a sword slave, what is it?" β
His voice paused slightly, as if he had thought of something else, his face softened slightly, and said: "However, it is true that it cannot be generalized, even if it is a sword slave, there may be a day when it turns over, we have collected all kinds of famous swords in and outside the domain for three thousand years, so far, only three people have signs of overriding the famous swords in the opposite direction." β
"Among them, the fish intestine sword master who came back from the dead is the most."
"It's Shi Huaidie."
The young man spoke, narrowed his eyes, and when he said this name, he couldn't help but think of the kind-faced young man, and thought of that painful defeat, the iron floating Tu that he had trained with one hand died, the fish intestine sword was broken, and the giant sword was lost.
It seems that since that day, his luck has been bad.
Admiration appeared on the face of the heroic man, and he said:
"She is very fast, compared to the elite in the door, she is not reckless, and she is decisive, if she wants to die once, she can really make people reborn, there is a great terror between life and death, it is really good."
"Before I came here, fifty percent of the spirit rhyme in the fish intestine sword could be controlled by her, and when she mastered it all, the ability of this sword in her hands would not be much inferior to those broken divine soldiers."
"When the time comes, as the sword master, it is commendable to be able to forcibly force the lantern tower after the qi is full, and exert the level of a weak grandmaster."
The young man was in a much better mood, although the loss of the Iron Floating Slaughter and the Juque Sword did make him feel distressed, but if he could exchange two or three martial artists who were not considered fourth-grade martial artists for a genuine Great Qin Zhu State strength, or a real grandmaster, it would always be worth it.
He turned his glass and said as if unintentionally:
"For such seedlings, Shangfeng should not be stingy."
The heroic man said: "Naturally, she is different from those ordinary sword slaves, if it weren't for the fact that she has been practicing in the secret place all this time, I would almost think that she has received the guidance of a grandmaster, or even several grandmasters, and she has entered the realm extremely quickly, which can be called a thousand miles in a day." β
"Shangfeng has decided to provide her with the qualifications to comprehend and imitate the Zhenyue Sword, there is no shortage of high-grade medicinal materials, and there are gold and silver rewards, but she has only replaced it with the Grandmaster to guide her cultivation, she is indeed a martial artist, so he rewarded her with a core martial art."
The young man bowed his head, for some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, if Shi Huaidie grew too fast, I am afraid that it would exceed her own mastery, but it is a pity that at this time she has entered the vision of Shangfeng, and if she wants to exert her mastery, she will inevitably be disgusted by Shangfeng.
I'm afraid I can only make secret contacts and do what he likes.
Just don't know what she's going to like?
has been appreciated by the peak, and even his original master has to change his methods to please him, it can only be said that this woman is eager for revenge, and by mistake, she actually walked out of a very exquisite chess move.
The heroic man drank the wine in his cup, stood up, and said:
"This trip is just to warn you, don't be reckless, this time I sent you and Xu Sixing to join forces, although you two don't agree, but you can't abolish the big thing."
"Otherwise, it will greatly affect Shangfeng's evaluation of you."
The young man came back to his senses and sneered:
"The body of a daughter, I can't sit down, I'm different from that reckless man, I won't be reckless."
"And he is in Liangzhou City at the moment, in order to take advantage of the merit, he takes the initiative to take risks, and he will not have any contact with me, how can I affect his affairs?"
The heroic man was noncommittal.
A flying eagle fluttered its wings in the air, the young man's expression changed, the flying eagle seemed to be coming towards him, and landed directly on the table, before he got up, the heroic man who had already stood up took a thousand steps, untied the letterhead on it, and then the whole person suddenly stiffened, and on his calm face, a very obvious horror appeared.
The young man suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, subconsciously stood up, and said:
"What happened?"
The heroic man glanced at him, and Mu Ran handed over the letterhead in his hand.
The letterhead was blank, except for the middle line with a line written vertically in black letters.
[Thunder Dao Grandmaster appeared in Liangzhou City, and Xu Sixing lost contact. γ
The young man's gaze froze, and his breathing suddenly stagnated.
The line of black handwriting seemed to have an extremely terrifying oppressive force, occupying his vision and brain, and the four big characters blurred out of the ink made his mind become dazed for a moment, and he immediately thought of the abnormal celestial phenomena last night.
Lei Dao, Grandmaster?!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The atmosphere in the inn room was frozen by the casual words of the abandonment.
Wang Anfeng coughed lightly, broke the atmosphere, and gently explained to Dongfang Ximing, who had subconsciously shrunk:
"Libo means, well, a battle between warriors."
"Right, Libo?"
He looked at the old man, snorted and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we spoke more directly back then. β
"At that time, we were all lifelong friends!"
Dongfang Ximing felt the sincerity of this sentence.
Liqi Dao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little headache, in the face of the Dongfang family, especially in a sense, when the descendants of the family, they must speak sincerely, otherwise it is easy to be seen through, and the lie has a bad effect on them, unless they can even deceive themselves.
The old man was thinking crankily in his heart.
Friendship over life.
Well, if you are half dead, but not completely killed, it is naturally a 'fateful friendship'.
Wang Anfeng saw that the fire was almost over, and organized the language in his heart, but he didn't dare to let the abandonment of the road open his mouth again, with his understanding and familiarity with the old man, the so-called friendship over life is likely to be just a one-sided belief on their side, and the strength of the old man's exchange is also extremely debatable, and he took the initiative to say at the moment:
"Dongfang ......, well, how did you end up in Liangzhou City?"
"This place is the southwest of Daqin, and the Oriental family, if I remember well, has lived on Penglai Island in the East China Sea for generations, and has never fulfilled the earthly ...... I mean, you're the only one out there? Is there no one to protect you? β
Dongfang Ximing was silent, his eyes lowered, he looked at his toes, and muttered:
"No, I'm not the only ......"
Wang Anfeng and Liqi Dao glanced at each other and said:
"Who else?"
Dongfang Ximing said softly: "There is still Miss here, it's just that Miss is ......"
When she said this, she thought of what the beautiful woman had done to herself, and she couldn't say it for a while, and her emaciated shoulders trembled slightly, as if she had turned on a switch, and since last night, all the thoughts and emotions that she had been unwilling to think about suddenly came out.
The clearest of them is the pair of cold and waveless eyes in the blurred light.
Wang Anfeng half-squatted down, his palm pressed on the back of Dongfang Ximing's hand, Shaolin internal power worked, helping her to dispel the fear and worry in her heart, and Liqi Dao sensed that something was wrong, a pair of pale gray eyebrows wrinkled, and said:
"Miss?!"
The fear and fear in Dongfang Ximing's heart was calmed by the upright Shaolin internal strength, nodded and said, "Well, it is the daughter of the head of the Dongfang family, the most outstanding person in the entire generation of the Dongfang family." β
"The Oriental Hearts of Our Generation."
Lirendao's expression changed.
He had been exposed to too many things, and because of the events of the year, he knew the methods of the Dongfang family, and he immediately thought of the key issue of this matter, and even if the flames exploded from the depths of his heart, the atmosphere in the air instantly became heavy and depressing, and there was a roar of beasts between the illusory and the real, and the thunder sounded muffled.
This momentum is just a release, as if an illusion, and he immediately subconsciously looked at Wang Anfeng, worried that Wang Anfeng was like when he was in Daliang Village, he failed to notice the original appearance of this matter and the grievances suffered by Dongfang Ximing, worried that he would directly ask You are not Dongfang Ningxin, which hurt the little girl's heart.
But he saw that there was nothing unusual on Wang Anfeng's face at all.
Even just now, as soon as his momentum was released, the remaining part was covered by the qi around the young man's body, which did not affect Dongfang Ximing among them, and then a smile appeared on Wang Anfeng's face, and said:
"Don't worry about the young master now."
"I'm Wang Anfeng, my mother, it should be your aunt, you should call me cousin."
Dongfang Ximing was slightly stunned, although he had already expected it, but at this time, he was still a little incredulous and speechless as in a dream.
Wang Anfeng smiled and took the initiative to say:
"What's your name?"
Dongfang Ximing subconsciously replied:
"Ximing ......"
Wang Anfeng nodded and said, "Dongfang Ximing?" β
Dongfang Ximing shook his head and explained with some embarrassment: "Only, it's just Ximing...... Our family seems to be in the same vein of crime, so we have been deprived of our surname, and we can only call our first name, just Ximing. β
Wang Anfeng was silent and said:
"No one has the right to take your family name away."
"You are Dongfang Ximing."
Dongfang Xi Ming sneered: "But the elders will be angry. β
Wang Anfeng pointed at himself and said with a smile: "Ah, that's a coincidence, I've also read some books, if they are angry, I'll go talk to them, and if they blame, blame me." β
"Even if it's such a powerful person as the head of the family, everyone has to be reasonable."
"Don't look at me like this, I'm still more able to reason with people."
"If I can't do it, Libo, my masters, and a gentleman, they also like to reason with people, and it is best to be able to sit and talk in harmony, if it is to stand and speak, it is no problem to be tired, but that gentleman's temper may not be very good."
When they came back to their senses, they saw that Wang Anfeng did not leak a flaw, as if they knew the identity of the girl in front of them from the beginning, and then realized that the ignorant young man in Daliang Village had long since disappeared.
Si Kou listened to Feng with his arms crossed in front of his chest, leaned against the wall outside the door, heard the conversation between Wang Anfeng and Dongfang Ximing, and was a little disappointed in his heart, but immediately thought of the record of the Dongfang family, and frowned slightly.
The Oriental family was founded on thaumaturgy, but every hundred years, only one Oriental Condensation, the new generation defeating the previous generation of title holders, can have this honor.
Although it is impossible to compare with the first generation, since he can surpass his elders in the thaumaturgical lineage, it should be impossible for this generation of Dongfang Ningxin to be stupid.
Could it be that there are more plans for it?
Her mind turned, and just as she was thinking in her heart, whether to find a time to wake up Wang Anfeng from the side, or inform Xue Qinshuang, she felt something, and immediately looked sideways in the direction of the staircase.
The aging wooden staircase emits an extremely steady creaking sound.
After three snaps of his fingers, a young man walked slowly up from the top of the stairs.
He didn't wear a red coat to catch a quick dress, only a plain clothes, but his cold demeanor was still difficult to approach, a pair of eyes were as soft as autumn water, with a sword in his right hand and a jade pendant at his waist, he slowly walked forward, and then stopped in front of Si Kou Tingfeng.
After the silence, Wuxin rarely took the initiative to nod and say hello, and then said:
"I'm looking for Wang Anfeng."

The word Shangfeng, although it is rarely used now, but in ancient times, it meant that it was a superior, or a superior~
