Chapter 170: Heavenly Pivot Pavilion (1)
"What are you going to do?" Youyou asked.
"What else can I do? Let's find a way to make ends meet. Xu Xingji saw the sword in Youyoule's hand and said, "This is the heavenly evil you said?" β
"What? You can't hit this sword with attention. "Youyou're happy.
Xu Xingji said: "I'm not paying attention to this sword, although the foundation of your sword is good, but the level of the instrument spirit is too low, I just remembered one thing." β
Youyou said: "What's the matter? β
Xu Xingji said, "Before I became a weapon master, I had learned the technique of machine spirits in the Tianshu Pavilion. β
You Youle said: "What is the place of Tianshu Pavilion? I've been here for so long, why haven't I heard anyone mention it? β
Xu Xingzhi said: "It is said that when Emperor Augustus still existed, the Tianshu Pavilion was still very prosperous, and that was also the time when the instrument spirit was the most powerful, but now it has long been decayed, and only a place the size of a temple remains. β
Youyoule recalled the white light that appeared under the altar, and when he touched it lightly, the white light disappeared, as if it was very fragile, and it seemed that the machine spirit was not enough.
Xu Xingji said: "Go to Tianshu Pavilion, right?" I might be able to improve the performance of your sword a little bit. β
Youyoule was still thinking about what Master Dao said, maybe if he brought the naΓ―ve instrument to the top, he would be able to make Wen Xiao reappear.
Tianshu Pavilion is not far from here, out of a small city next to Shudu, after the decline of Tianshu Pavilion vacated a lot of places, these idle places are inhabited by the residents of the city.
When I came to the temple of Tianshu Pavilion, I found that there was no difference between this place and the outer city, there were people drying clothes in the courtyard, children playing and playing, and there were also people who set up stoves to cook.
You Youle stood at the far gate and said, "This is the Tianshu Pavilion you are talking about?" β
Xu Xingji said: "Don't be discouraged, this is just the outer courtyard, have you seen the tower in the center?" The place we're going to be is there. β
Youyoule raised his nose and sniffed, and said, "Everyone is cooking, I don't know if the pavilion master of Tianshu Pavilion can entertain us." β
Xu Xingji said: "Hospitality? It's hard to say, but it shouldn't be difficult to manage a meal. β
The two looked for the direction of the tower and walked to the inner courtyard, Xu Xingji had not been here for a long time, the inner courtyard had already changed, except for a few households, it seemed unusually desolate, the tower had already been overgrown with wild grass, and the main hall of the Tianshu Pavilion in front of the tower had also fallen into disrepair, and several large characters on the hall had been covered with a layer of soil ash.
Youyoule walked around and said, "It seems that there is no one here, do you want to find someone to ask?" β
Xu Xingji saw that there were several families not far away, and asked them where the people from the Tianshu Pavilion had gone, and when he came to the door, he saw a half-old woman cooking something in the house, Xu Xingji knocked on the door and said, "Excuse me, where have the people from the Tianshu Pavilion gone?" β
The old woman was startled, and the ingredients in her hand rolled into the soup, Xu Xingxian felt that what he said was not something inappropriate, and continued: "I used to practice in Tianshu Pavilion for a while, and now I have been in a foreign country, and when I came back, I went to Tianshu Pavilion to take a look, but I found that this place seems to have been deserted. β
The old woman was a little relieved at this time, and said, "You two are from other places, and there has been no one in the Heavenly Pavilion for several years. β
Xu Xingji asked, "What about the people here?" The pavilion master is also a very famous figure in Shudu, why is it that in just a few years, Tianshu Pavilion has already decayed into this. β
The old woman covered the door and said, "It's not that my old lady likes to gossip, this pavilion master is not a good person, he is greedy for treasures and obsessed with delusions, and many people up and down the Tianshu Pavilion have died tragically." β
"A lot of tragic deaths?" Xu Xingxian thought of his former fellow disciple and brother, and said with some uneasiness in his heart: "Tragic death? What's going on here? β
While the old woman was cooking, she preached in a colorful voice: "All the people in the tower are hanged on this day!" β
Xu Xingji said: "Are they all hanged people? Why did these people hang themselves? β
Youyou also took a breath of surprise and said, "There are still dead people here?" β
The old woman's face softened a lot, and she said, "Not anymore, this is what happened a few years ago, and the dead people in the Tianshu Tower have long been cleaned out." β
Xu Xingxian asked again, "How did these people get killed by the pavilion master?" β
"It's not because that Lei Tianxin covets treasures and provokes enemies everywhere that he causes death." The old woman said that what was cooked in the pot was cooked.
"Baby? What is the baby? Xu Xingxian asked.
Youyoule was listening on the side, and the old woman was about to continue, when she suddenly coughed in the room and said, "Old woman, what are you rubbing, you are cooking with your mouth?" β
The old woman's face was gloomy, and she replied to the house, "You are well from your illness, don't you come to teach me!" β
"Ahem, you old woman, you think you live a long time, don't you? Ahem, drink ~ smack ......"
The old man in the house took a mouthful of phlegm and didn't speak again, and the old woman said to the two: "Don't say it, don't say it, it's useless for you to ask about it, it's been several years, even if the pavilion master didn't let people kill him, it is estimated that he will starve to death now, if you two are okay, please leave." β
"Let's go?" Youyoule smacked his lips and said, "Xu Xingxi, do you still have any money on you?" I'm a little hungry. β
Xu Xingxian touched his pocket and said, "If you don't have money, can't you have a little interest?" β
"Coo-goo-goo-goo-......goo" Xu Xingxian's stomach also screamed, but as soon as he finished speaking, his stomach screamed, and Xu Xingxian couldn't help but look hot.
The old woman was kind-hearted and said, "You two eat here with me, and cook some taro balls, and the next meal is a little less, enough for us to eat." β
The old woman brought the pot into the house, and took four large bowls of taro balls with chopsticks, and a plate of side dishes in the middle, and the old man got out of bed, and the four of them ate around the table.
Before the chopsticks moved, the old man suddenly took out a bottle of wine from the bottom of the table, filled three small glasses, and put the wine back in its place.
"Since the two of you are here, you are guests, your family is relatively poor, and you have no children and no daughters, so we live here as an old couple, and you come here to ask about something, it's not that we don't want to tell you, it's because we're afraid that the two of you will get into trouble."
I thought that this old man had an arrogant temper and didn't like strangers, but I didn't expect it to be quite reasonable when we met.
You Youle said: "We're just afraid of causing trouble to the second elder, and the two of us have nothing to do with Tianshu Pavilion, just listen to gossip." β
The old woman saw the old man drinking wine and chatting, and said, "Who let you drink wine?" How long can you toss this old bone? I see that when you are dead, the ashes should be put in the jar. β
The old man smiled and said: "You mother-in-law, I don't want to go into the coffin yet, it's cold and hard, after I die, I bought a good wine brewed in the altar for a long time, and buried me in it." β
The old woman kicked him and said, "I have no heart and no lungs, you can laugh at it, the old husband and wife still make this kind of joke." β
You Youle and Xu Xingxian also laughed and chatted, and the topic inevitably returned to Tianshu Pavilion, and the old man said: "Don't take this matter too seriously, that's what I said, that's what you heard, it's all about wine." β
