Chapter 153: Nie Feng, Time Rushes.
"Drive!"
The horses' hooves are galloping, and the dust is rippling.
Nie Fengxin, who went out of the world meeting, sent his father's whereabouts, and hurried along the way.
On the morning of the second day, a journey of 2,000 miles came to the official road in front of the closed teahouse.
It's just that when he came here, he saw that the teahouse was full of friends, and there was a long queue in front of the door.
Among them, there are people of all ages, young and female, mostly small masters of the rivers and lakes, or big businessmen.
And Nie Feng also saw that they were all carrying gifts in their hands, and even asked his subordinates to prepare a few carriages loaded with gold and silver, filling the sides of the nearby official road.
"Lao Liu, why are you here?" At this point, a whispered conversation came from it. Nie Feng saw a middle-aged businessman in line, greeting a friend he knew.
"I'm tired of traveling, come and have some tea." And this old Liu did not mention that there was a master master in this teahouse, but instead said polite words, as if he was really tired from the journey, and reached out to wipe the sweat stains on his forehead that were not at all.
"What a coincidence! I'm here for tea too! The middle-aged man smiled and whispered again, "You heard... Good tea here? If you don't have something good, you can't drink it."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man looked at the splendid silver box in Lao Liu's hand, and then checked the two jade beads in his hand, and smiled at Lao Liu.
'Fortunately, I was prepared..' When Nie Feng heard about this scene, he also untied a burden from the horse, which contained a pair of jade wrenches, which was also a gift to see Grandmaster Zhao this time.
This can also be seen that although Nie Feng looks like a gentleman and treats people kindly, he is proficient in dealing with people and things in his heart, and he is an old Jianghu. Knowing that if you don't prepare a gift for a visit, you will lose your politeness.
To put it simply, even if you are a member of the world.
Nie Feng didn't want to make an awkward fuss because of a trivial matter, not to mention that he still had his own private affairs to ask.
And when Nie Feng was holding the wrench, ready to line up with everyone.
'Click' sound, but Young Master Qian trotted out of the teahouse, glanced at everyone a few times, and finally settled on Nie Feng's body, "Dare to ask." Are you Nie Feng and Nie Daxia? ”
'The people of the world? ’
'The third disciple of the hero, the wind god leg Nie Feng! When everyone heard the word Nie Feng, they all subconsciously got out of the way, and it can be imagined that they were very jealous of the name of the Tianxia Society.
But at the same time. They were more curious about what Sect Master Zhao would be looking for in this world, and then those who should line up were still in line, and no one had the intention of leaving.
Because they have all come, if they leave now, they may accidentally offend Sect Master Zhao and not say anything, let alone give face to the world. It's better to watch quietly, ready to catch Zhao Zhou's line first and then talk.
And the people who were queuing up and drinking tea in the teahouse, seeing Young Master Qian taking Nie Feng past him and walking towards the backyard of the teahouse, were also guessing.
'Could it be that the world will want to win over Grandmaster Zhao? ’
'The world will be the largest gang in the rivers and lakes today. Grandmaster Zhao is a great master of exterminating the Qilin. Maybe I'll be invited by Xiongba today..' They looked at the backyard blocked by the door curtain, and they couldn't tell whether they were disappointed or helpless, anyway, they couldn't control anything.
But if they can influence it, they will not come to Zhao Zhou to protect themselves and others.
However, thinking like this, and then through the matter of Nie Feng coming to talk to Zhao Zhou, they also estimated that this Grandmaster Zhao was definitely a master, and even the World Association that was about to unify the rivers and lakes couldn't sit still, and wanted to come over and say.
And in the backyard of the teahouse.
As soon as Nie Feng walked in under the leadership of Young Master Qian, he saw Zhao Zhou drinking tea at a stone table in the courtyard.
"Nie Feng has seen Senior Zhao!" Nie Feng didn't even take a closer look at Zhao Zhou, then raised his hand and saluted.
"Nie Shaoxia, sit." Zhao Zhou clenched his fists, poured a cup of good tea, and let Young Master Qian lift a wooden chair, "Please." ”
"Thank you, Senior Zhao!" Nie Feng heard that Grandmaster Zhao in front of him had given him a seat, so he sat down on the bench, looked up, and saw Zhao Zhou wearing a well-fitting practice uniform, looking ordinary, just like the martial arts master he often saw in the rivers and lakes.
It's just that Nie Feng knows very well that this Sect Master Zhao killed Qilin. Therefore, Zhao Zhou's idea of being an ordinary martial artist was fleeting, but he felt that Zhao Zhou was a master and could not be seen!
"Nie Shaoxia, taste how this Pu'er is." Zhao Zhou is kind and fair, and he doesn't mind Nie Feng looking at him.
And Zhao Zhou could sense that it was Nie Feng coming, it was he who heard the sound of the horse's hooves with his ears, and heard that the horse was so tired that he snorted, and his muscles and flesh cells contracted, so he knew that the horse had traveled at least about 1,500 miles.
In addition to Zhao Zhou's 'listening' to the person riding the horse, he landed silently when he got off the horse, and his body was extremely light, and his internal strength was like a river and sea galloping, and he also knew that this person riding a horse was definitely a half-step grandmaster realm!
Especially after that, this half-step grandmaster not only did not cut the queue, but instead lined up calmly, without any disdain for the 'mentality' of being in the company of the vendors. But there is also a kind of 'urgency and anxiety', as if there is something important to ask.
And as the breeze outside the teahouse blew through the facial features of the man on horseback. According to the flow of wind speed and the change of the traces of the breeze, Zhao Zhou deduced a pair of delicate facial features, like a chivalrous man and a scholar.
Thereupon.
Zhao Zhou pondered for a few breaths based on the data observed by the 'Six Senses and Outer Knowledge', and then recalled the records of the characters in the data. I knew that the half-step Sect Master who was 1,500 miles away from here, and who was so humble and very good, but had something to ask anxiously, must be Nie Feng!
'With the mind of a tyrant, let Nie Feng, who has the best face, come today, and it is estimated that he will invite me to be a guest at the World Meeting. Although Zhao Zhou had a lot of calculations in his heart, his face was kind, just like an ordinary teahouse shopkeeper, and he did the true meaning of making money with harmony.
'Click' Nie Feng tossed the teacup, took a sip of tea, and secretly praised 'good tea', then thought about what his master had explained, and then didn't waste much time, and took out two jade wrenches from the package.
"Senior Zhao, this is a little meeting gift for the juniors."
"Nie Shaoxia has seen the outside." Zhao Zhou remained silent, and asked Young Master Qian to put away the wrench, and didn't look at the condition. After all, this is a process, picking up people's things, so that people can talk.
"It's the younger generation's little care." When Nie Feng saw that the things were received, he knew that he had become sixty percent without saying anything.
Because he came on behalf of the world, and Zhao Zhou knew it, so Zhao Zhou also accepted his things, and Nie Feng knew that this Grandmaster Zhao had no aversion to the world.
"Nie Shaoxia, please speak." Zhao Zhou was even more straight to the point, wanting to see what the world would mean, whether to invite himself, or what.
"The younger generation is to pass on the word on behalf of the master." The rivers and lakes are full of neat people, and now that Nie Feng finished his polite words, he didn't hide much, and began to get down to business.
"My master has been practicing in retreat for some time, preparing for a battle with the Sword Master in half a year." Nie Feng carefully worded it, and first explained the reason why Xiongba didn't come, "At this point, Master asked Nie Feng to convey it on his behalf and say hello to Sect Master Zhao. ”
As he spoke, he saw Zhao Zhou taking a sip of tea, signaling himself to speak again, and said everything he needed to say in one go.
"And my master heard that Grandmaster Zhao's martial arts are superb, so he intended to invite Grandmaster Zhao to meet in the world and make friends, but I don't know what Grandmaster Zhao wants."
After Nie Feng finished speaking, he stood up again, saluted, stopped talking, and did a very thoughtful job of etiquette.
When Zhao Zhou heard this, he put down the teacup and hugged his fist towards Nie Feng, who was waiting for his reply: "I am a martial artist." It is also known that the main enemy of the male gang is at present, and practicing to improve his strength is the most important thing. ”
Zhao Zhou said that when he saw Nie Feng smiling, he changed his words again, "Of course." As a martial artist, I also practiced in retreat during this time, and I didn't have time to go to the world to talk about it. It was a disappointment to the kindness of the male gang leader. ”
Zhao Zhou said this, and poured a cup of tea for Nie Feng, who had frozen his smile for a moment, "However, after half a year." Zhao is successful, and he will definitely go to the world to witness the demeanor of the male gang leader. ”
"Yes.. Zhao seniors. Nie Feng heard Zhao Zhou's words die, and gave him a time to visit, and after letting himself make a good deal, he didn't have anything to talk about.
You can't shout that the world will let you come, you have to come.
In that way, Nie Feng thought about it, not to mention whether he would fill in another big enemy for the master for no reason, just saying that he was like this, I was afraid that he would not even be able to go out of the backyard of the teahouse today.
"The younger generation already knows what the seniors mean, and they will definitely convey it to the master." Nie Feng saluted again and sat down on the bench.
But he didn't drink tea now, nor did he leave, but his expression was that he had something to say, and it looked very obvious.
"What else?" Zhao Zhou saw that Nie Feng wanted to say but didn't know how to speak, but he knew that the matter he wanted to ask about the Qilin in Lingyun Cave was also about his father.
It's just that Zhao Zhou didn't show his uncertain prophet, but asked as kindly as before.
Because if he talks about Nie Feng's family affairs, then he will seem to have an 'ulterior purpose', and this human affection is really down, and it doesn't seem simple.
"That's it.." Nie Feng heard Zhao Zhou ask himself, and after he finished talking about business, he adjusted his mind and talked about his private affairs along the way.
"Senior Zhao, my father's name is Nie Ren Wang. It's just that ten years ago, when my father was near Lingyun Cave, he was grabbed by the fierce beast Qilin in Lingyun Cave..."
Nie Feng said this, his expression was a little sad, "Although the younger generation has been remembering this matter for many years, but his martial arts are mediocre, he can't avenge his father, and he can't go to the Lingyun Cave to find out..."
"And now. Senior Zhao killed that evil animal, and he is my benefactor Nie Feng! Nie Feng clasped his hands and wanted to bow to Zhao Zhou and thank Zhao Zhou for removing the Qilin.
But as soon as Zhao Zhou put his palm together, he didn't let Nie Feng bow down.
"Destroying demons and defending the road is the duty of my generation." Zhao Zhou's words were gentle, "It's Nie Shaoxia who is serious." ”
"Thank you. Senior Zhao.." When Nie Feng heard this, he was moved for a while, and felt that Zhao Zhou was the master of the 'chivalrous and courageous' in his imagination.
But actually. In his heart, he was even more surprised that Zhao Zhou's martial arts were really far higher than his own!
Because with Zhao Zhou's ride, Nie Feng found that he kept calling all over his body, and his strong internal force stagnated, and he was forced to 'frame' the bench by Zhao Zhou.
And for Nie Feng, this scene is simply life and death, how can he not be afraid or surprised!
'This senior Zhao's martial arts may be even higher than that of the master! Nie Feng was shocked in his heart, but he realized that Zhao Zhou had no malicious intentions, so he felt a little calmer.
Then, he calmed down his mind again, and then he avoided some treasures, so as not to be afraid that this 'great grandmaster' would misunderstand that he was the treasure of Tuna Lingyun Cave.
"Senior Zhao, you have seen my father's remains in Lingyun Cave.." Nie Feng was more careful when he spoke, and he could be described as walking on thin ice.
There's really no way around it.
After all, anyone who asks about some treasures in front of a great master whose martial arts far surpass him will be nervous, afraid that he will say the wrong thing and cause some misunderstanding.
In particular, although what Nie Feng said was true, he couldn't guarantee that this seemingly 'chivalrous and courageous great master' would not believe him.
"Corpses." When Zhao Zhou heard this, he asked Nie Feng to wait for a while, and he went to the backyard house to 'fetch' a treasure knife and a map, and then returned to the stone table.
"I did see a corpse in the Lingyun Cave some time ago." Zhao Zhou said and handed the map to Nie Feng's hand, "It's just that he is also a martial artist, so Zhao Zhou made his own decision and buried the corpse in a beautiful place." ”
Zhao Zhou said, seeing Nie Feng's suddenly stunned expression after opening the atlas, and then continued: "And this atlas is what I saw next to the corpse, opened it, and painted the word Nie Ying."
Zhao Zhou pointed to the name on the map, "If Zhao Zhou didn't guess wrong, it should be someone related to Nie Shaoxia." ”
"Yes.. It's my grandfather.." Nie Feng's eyes were red, and he held the atlas tightly, wanting to bow down to Zhao Zhou and thank him for burying his grandfather.
This time, Zhao Zhou didn't stop him, because Nie Feng was now emotional, and he didn't let him perform this salute, which would make him depressed and hurt his five internal organs.
"And this sword, since it is next to the corpse, is the weapon depicted in the map. That should also be your Nie family's thing. Now by the hand of Zhao Zhou, it can be regarded as the return of the object to its original owner. When Zhao Zhou saw him worship, he also gave him a treasure knife, just like a master who does not want wealth or affection.
"Senior Zhao.." Nie Feng took the treasure knife with both hands, feeling the icy breath in his hand, but he couldn't hide the excitement and gratitude in his heart.
When Zhao Zhou heard this, when he calmed down, he also told him where Nie Ying was buried, and about his father, who may have been killed by Qilin with flame supernatural powers, so that the bones were not found.
It's just that although Zhao Zhou said it euphemistically, the implication of this is that under such high temperatures, even the rocks will melt, not to mention the human bones, it is estimated that they have already disappeared.
"Thank you Senior Zhao for your words.." Nie Feng also understood what Zhao Zhou meant, and he had already prepared. And now that he can retrieve his grandfather's remains and his own treasure knife cheats, he is already very lucky, and he doesn't ask for much.
"Let's go back." When Zhao Zhou saw that he had finished speaking, he didn't say anything, and motioned for Nie Feng to go back and worship his grandfather earlier.
"Thank you, Senior Zhao!" Nie Feng calmed down and got up to say goodbye.
But when he walked to the door of the teahouse in the front yard, he bowed to the backyard with his hands in his hands, as if letting everyone in the teahouse testify: "Today, Senior Zhao is kind to me Nie Feng. Henceforth. If Senior Zhao has something to do, he needs Nie Feng. Nie Feng will definitely do his best! ”
Nie Feng finished speaking, saluted in the direction of the backyard again, and then walked out of the teahouse and rode away.
However, everyone in the teahouse was confused about this scene, and they were confused for a moment, wondering if this Nie Hall Master of the World Association was hypnotized by Sect Master Zhao.
"What's going on?" The people outside the teahouse looked at Nie Feng's distant back and whispered.
'How did this go back and forth, and before the time of tea, this Nie Hall Master smeared Sect Master Zhao's liver and brains? Many people in the teahouse were also curious, wondering if Nie Feng had fallen for some 'immortal law'.
"Maybe Grandmaster Zhao is going to the Tianxia Meeting.." But there are also people who feel that the world will have joined forces with Grandmaster Zhao, and it is inevitable that there will be another storm in the rivers and lakes.
But. They want to think about it, but they don't dare to say a word, they still line up and drink tea.
And as time passed.
Two days later.
Nie Feng dragged the matter of worshiping his grandfather to the back, first went back to the Tianxiahui, came to the main hall, and told Xiongba about Zhao Zhouhui's visit in half a year.
Because about the matter between 'Kindness is more important than Shan Zhao's predecessors' and 'Raising a Graceful Master', it is a big event in Nie Feng's mind, and it is even more of a public matter, so he must tell him first. It is also difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety.
"Feng'er will visit my grandfather first."
It's just that a series of things haven't happened yet, so Xiongba is still a considerate disciple.
So, after Xiongba heard what Nie Feng said at this time, and knew that he was going to worship his grandfather, he gave him a few days to spare and let him go to Foshan to fulfill his filial piety.
"Thank you, Master!" Nie Feng bowed gratefully and prepared to retreat.
But Nie Feng hadn't taken a few steps yet.
Xiongba pondered for a few breaths, glanced at the Snow Drinking Crazy Knife that Nie Feng was carrying, and suddenly asked as if unintentionally: "Feng'er, how is Zhao Zhou's martial arts."
"The strength of Zhao's predecessors is unfathomable, and the disciples are not opponents." When Nie Feng heard what the master heard, he immediately turned around and gave his hand, what did he say, and told all about the fact that he was being held by Zhao Zhou.
Similarly, this is also because Zhao Zhou didn't let him hide it, and Nie Feng is also a real person, so he said it.
However, what Nie Feng didn't expect was. The master, who is more than the mountain, when he looks at the snow behind him, he wants to take it for himself, or take it for himself.
It's just that now with his own words.
When Xiongba heard this, he suddenly thought that the Qilin was dead, and the broken Lingyun Cave, and this thing was returned to his apprentice by Zhao Zhou himself, and he thought about it for a while, and his heart was really a little empty, and he didn't dare to open this borrowed knife, so as not to accidentally offend the 'senior Zhao'.
"Grandmaster Zhao is indeed a master." Xiongba casually perfunctory a few words to his apprentice, and then asked Nie Feng to retreat.
And Xiongba felt that his strength was too low, so he arranged the affairs, and went back to the back mountain to start retreating, saving Sect Master Zhao and the Sword Saint coming together half a year later, he should not be able to do this 'big scene!' ’
"The matter of the mud bodhisattva has been handed over to Bu Jingyun to find. And now I only need to complete the cultivation of the Three Points of Returning Vitality, and then I can step into the realm of the Great Grandmaster and deal with the decisive battle in half a year. ”
Xiongba thought about it, thinking that time was pressing, and he didn't think much about it anymore, so he began to retreat and cultivate.
..
And as time flies.
Time flies.
The rivers and lakes are still like this, chivalrous travels, merchants and peddlers, and the people work as usual, without any changes.
But as time passed, the day of the decisive battle between the Sword Master and the Male Tyrant was getting closer and closer, and there were less than twenty days left.
It also made the chivalrous and sect disciples from all over the country far away, and they came to the direction of the world meeting early, ready to see this shocking battle!
In particular, they also heard that Zhao Zhou was also coming, and they were even more looking forward to it, wanting to see what this 'Grandmaster Zhao who excludes the Qilin Divine Beast' looked like, whether he would be born with a vision, and so on.
And, even today.
Nie Feng, who was about to step into the grandmaster, was ordered by Xiongba, but when he went out on a mission, he suddenly avoided his senior brother Qin Shuang, and then flew a pigeon to pass a letter, and flew thousands of miles away to the lockdown teahouse.
And lock down this side.
Zhao Zhou in the courtyard received it, looked at it separately, and said: "The mud bodhisattva that Zhao senior is looking for has been found. Now the junior is going to invite him with his senior brother, and then follow the master's order to escort the mud bodhisattva back to the world meeting. ’
"And if the seniors of Zhao are free, they can come to the riverside of Fengxi Village, and the juniors will delay for two days as much as possible..'
..
The content of the letter was to the effect that Nie Feng had found the mud bodhisattva, but before he arrived at the place, he was waiting for Zhao Zhou to come over.
Especially this is quite difficult for him, on one side is Senior Zhao, on the other hand is his master, he can only drag it, and he can't do anything else. Otherwise, it is unfaithful.
When Zhao Zhou saw what he said, he could also understand, or that Nie Feng could take the risk to inform himself, which was already very interesting and embarrassing for Nie Feng's character.
"I don't know what the magic of the mud bodhisattva's divination technique is, and whether I can learn from it or two." The strong wind in Zhao Zhou's hand rolled up, and the letter paper was shattered into pieces. And he stepped out of the air in three or two steps, and disappeared within a radius of a kilometer, and his trace was long gone.
