Chapter 37: The Drunkard
After looking for two days in Falling Phoenix City, there was no whereabouts of the drunkard at all, Bai Nian even wondered if the drunkard had already left Falling Phoenix City, after all, having such a large amount of money was easy to be envied, and it was inevitable that someone would have the intention of killing people and grabbing treasures.
At this moment, Autumn Falling Snow found him, and it was said that there was already a whereabouts of the drunkard. As for how Qiu Luoxue found himself, Bai Nian was very puzzled.
"The place where there is a treasure naturally has the most people, and the news is also the most well-informed, don't look at my Wanbao Pavilion is just a place to sell treasures, in fact, the news that my Wanbao Pavilion has is the most well-informed place in Luohuang City. Seeing that Bai Nian still didn't understand, Qiu Luoxue explained: "Wanbao Pavilion has an organization called the Dark Pavilion, which is full of people with extraordinary light skills, specializing in intelligence, tracking and assassination. In the past few days, I have sent them to help, and I have finally found this drunkard. ”
How could a place where all kinds of treasures could be sold safely, Bai Nian should have thought that Wanbao Pavilion would definitely not be as simple as it seemed. He smiled kindly: "Qiu Xue, I want to thank you this time." ”
"Thank you, we're friends!" Qiu Luoxue smiled, her eye sockets were very deep, and she had a natural and charming temperament.
After a long journey, the two of them came to a tavern with a conversation and laughter along the way. The tavern is a rudimentary, two-storey tavern with no ornamentation and few customers. Bai Nian thought that a drunkard who got two million spirit stones should go to some luxurious and extravagant taverns to enjoy it, but he didn't expect that this drunkard would actually nest in such a small place.
"Little Er! Give the old man two more jars of wine, I want the best chrysanthemum brew in your shop!" The drunkard took two sips of a jar of wine into his mouth, and the jar of wine went straight to the bottom, his hair was messy, and his face was tired and unkempt. The drunkard lay on the table, shaking and swaying in every move, obviously not lightly drunk.
"Guest, you've been drinking for two days and two nights, and you haven't paid for the wine yesterday!" The shopkeeper rubbed his hands together with a flattering face, the old man in front of him came to the tavern and spent a lot of money, but the money he gave was obviously not enough for two days of wine, and he needed to make up for it.
"Isn't it... The drunkard touched his hand, there should have been a storage ring there, but at this time, his hands were empty, and there was no storage ring.
"Huh?" The drunkard's eyes cleared up a little, he looked at the shopkeeper and said, "You bring the wine first, and I'll settle the bill later." ”
As soon as the shopkeeper turned around, the drunkard looked left and right, and he moved lightly towards the door, as if he was running away? Bai Nian had already entered the tavern at this moment, and he had watched the scene just now very carefully, and guessed something. And Qiu Luoxue didn't plan to go with him to see this drunkard, after all, it was the news that Wanbao Pavilion revealed to Bai Nian, and if the drunkard asked about it, it would inevitably be a little difficult to explain.
"This uncle!" Bai Nian called out to him.
"Who's your uncle... Little doll... Get out of the way!" said the drunkard impatiently.
Bai Nian grabbed his hand, and it originally fell on the drunkard's shoulder, but he didn't know why he couldn't buckle it tightly, and the strength in his hand seemed to be invisibly removed. Bai Nian's two hands were claw-shaped and interlocked, but the drunkard could always dodge when he staggered, and even if he caught him, it was like grabbing a slimy loach, and his hand slid away before the drunkard could clasp it.
But one step away, the two were entangled, to be precise, Bai Nian wanted to catch the drunkard, and the drunkard shook from side to side as if he was drunk, which made Bai Nian helpless.
Obviously, he can't sense any spiritual power on his body, how can he be so difficult. Bai Nian stepped back and looked at the sloppy drunkard in front of him with a frown.
"Hey... Old man, where are you going?" The shopkeeper reacted when Bai Nian stopped the drunkard, this drunkard seemed to want to drink overlord wine?
The drunkard glanced at Bai Nian and grinned: "Eh, my grandson is here to pick me up, Xiao Er settles the bill!"
md!
Bai Nian almost scolded, but just now the witch said hello, this drunkard in front of him is extremely strong, and it is definitely not simple! After all, there is something to ask, Bai Nian threw out a few bags of spirit stones to the shopkeeper and asked, "Old man, I have something to ask you." ”
"Eh, the kid is quite rich..."The drunkard's eyes narrowed a bit like a human trafficker, he leaned on Bai Nian, hooking his shoulders as if he had not seen him for many years.
"Don't mess around, old man, let me ask you where you got this sword from?" Bai Nian took out the Lin Qingyue sword and shrugged his shoulders in disgust, his nose full of the smell of wine.
"Why is this sword so familiar?" the drunkard sniffled, as if he were sniffing the sword, so that he could recognize a sword?
"Old man, this sword is the one you deserved at the auction of Wanbao Pavilion!"
"Oh... Come to think of it... This sword was given to me by a female doll..."The drunkard patted his head, as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Have you seen her? old man, can you tell me more about it? Bai Nian's mood was a little unstable.
"Why are you asking the owner of this sword?" The drunkard seemed to glance at Bai Nian inadvertently, but that glance gave Bai Nian a very majestic feeling, and it was not at all the eyes that an ordinary drunkard should have.
"Old man, this sword belongs to a friend of mine, and it is impossible to leave her hand without accident. ”
The drunkard pulled Bai Nian over, sat on a table, and shouted, "Little second brother, two more jars of wine... Right... The best chrysanthemum stuff!"
"The world is drunk, and I am sober...... I laugh at the world and can't see through it..."
"Boy, I'll tell you... This tavern... Chrysanthemum stuffed that is a must in the city..."
The drunkard drank and said gibberish things like a madman.
"Old man, I didn't come to you to drink, how did this sword get into your hands. Bai Nian took a sip of the chrysanthemum brew, the wine was fragrant and mellow, the entrance was slightly spicy, and after entering the stomach, his mind seemed to be filled with a gust of wind and fluttering, which seemed to be not bad.
"Old man Rong, I'll take a sip of wine and think about it..."The two jars of wine soon saw the light, and Bai Nian wanted to come to a few more jars before the topic was pulled back again.
"Have you seen the original owner of this sword?" Bai Nian asked.
"It's a very watery female doll, very beautiful, with a little fart, she says it's her brother..."The drunkard seems to be more and more sober the more he drinks, and he is no longer confused when he speaks.
"Then how can this sword be in your hand?" Bai Nian raised his head, with a cold light in his eyes, and his expression was not good.
"Don't look at me like that, old man... It's as if I've eaten your little daughter-in-law..."The drunkard paused and continued: "It seems like more than a year ago, old man, I was drinking outside the city... I met a group of sneaky black-robed people, as if they were arresting someone..."
"I was curious, old man, so I followed them... And then, I met that doll... She is surrounded by a group of black-robed people, and her condition is very critical... So I saved her... Then she gave me the sword!"
......
The drunkard was rambling for a while, roughly because he had no money to drink after saving Lin Qingyue, so he asked Lin Qingyue to use the sword as a reward, but this drunkard didn't look like a master no matter how he looked at it, but like an ordinary old man who had not entered the martial arts, and he couldn't find the difference when he threw it into the crowd.
"Does that sound like you're very powerful?" Bai Nian sighed, just now the witch told him that the drunkard was not lying, and it made him sigh that the witch could know whether a person was lying or not.
"Haha... I'm not the same old man!" The drunkard let out a loud laugh, but his eyes were very solemn when he looked directly at Bai Nian, and finally he said in a deep voice, "Boy, you won't be an accomplice of those black-robed people, right?"
"Huh? Of course not... Those black-robed people are from the Tianxing Sect, and I don't share the sky with them!" Bai Nian drank a glass of wine and said with a straight face.
"That's good, you see... I saved your little lady. Shouldn't you give me something to compensate me for, so that the little old man can have a good place to drink?" The drunkard heard Bai Nian finish speaking, and his face was full of smiles, and his slightly narrowed eyes looked a little treacherous.
"Don't talk nonsense, what little lady... That's just a friend of mine. ”
"I see why you're so nervous, old man. ”
Bai Nian diverted the topic, and then he thought of something, and asked slowly: "Didn't this sword auction two million spirit stones, what about your money?"
"MD, I'm angry when I talk about it, and I don't know which thief actually took advantage of me to get drunk and took my storage ring away!" the drunkard scolded.
"You drunkard..."Bai Nian sneered, took out a bag of spirit stones and threw it on the table, preparing to leave.
"Ten thousand, I'm a beggar when you're an old man, boy!"
"Just 10,000, do you want love!" Bai Nian said angrily, but as soon as he turned around, he was pressed down by the drunkard, and he couldn't help but be frightened, so strong.
"Boy... You see, old man, I haven't eaten for a few days, can you give me more?" said the drunkard with some pity, but the appearance was very abrupt and made people want to laugh.
"No money!"
"I saw you at the auction that night... Gee... It's two million as soon as you make a move, who will believe you if you don't have any money!"
Bai Nian ignored him, he used his spiritual power to shake away the drunkard and walked out the door.
"Wait, boy, I saved your little lady, don't you want to leave the old man and me like this..."
Then what made Bai Nian speechless was that the drunkard had been following him like a leper dog. After thanking Qiu Luoxue again, Bai Nian returned to the inn and had no choice but to open a room for the drunkard.
Now, apart from learning that Lin Qingyue is safe and sound, he has not been given any whereabouts. In a year's time, Lin Qingyue had already left Luohuang City, Luohuang City was just a small city, and the outside world was vast, where should he find it. I remember that Lin Qingyue seems to have said that she is from Cangzhou, and her family was wiped out by the Tianxing Sect, but where is Cangzhou?
On this day, the entire Luohuang City was lively, and Bai Nian got a message from the autumn snow. The three major overlord-level forces of the Barbarian Land, the Giant Spirit Palace, the Qingyun Sect, and the Martial God Hall each sent people to the Great Xia Dynasty to recruit disciples, and it was also from the autumn falling snow that Bai Nian learned many things.
This world is called the Tianling Continent, the Tianling Continent has a total of thirteen large states, and the Manzhou is southerly, and there are two major dynasties in the Manzhou are the Great Xia and the Great Shang Dynasty, in addition to the dynasty, there are also the three major forces of the Giant Spirit Palace, the Qingyun Sect, and the Martial God Temple. Although these three major forces do not dominate the country, all the martial artists in the sect are martial cultivation forces, and their disciples are all over the barbarian state, and their prestige is even stronger than that of the two major dynasties.
In addition to the three major hegemonic forces, of course, there are many second-rate martial arts sects in Manzhou, or overlords that have declined, or small sects that have recently been created. And the three major hegemonic forces in today's barbarian state can be described as calling for wind and rain, covering the sky with one hand, ordinary martial cultivators are often proud to enter these three hegemonic forces, so this time the martial cultivators in the Great Xia Dynasty are rushing to the imperial capital.
As a city under the control of the Great Xia Dynasty, there are many discussions, and they all want to go to the imperial capital to participate in the assessment, and show the trend of their heroic path, in case they are recruited as a disciple by which hegemonic force, that is, the glory of the ancestors. After all, it's just a corner, and the horizon won't be very high.
