Chapter 271: The pigeon soared into the sky without a trace
"Xin'er, go back to the house." Zhang Yunsheng raised his hand towards Li Lanxin, "This is our adult's business, don't mix it with you as a child." Uncle Hai, are you right? ”
Uncle Hai snorted, but did not object. After all, he didn't want more people to know his secret, not even one more.
Li Lanxin didn't know what the two men in the yard were doing, but she knew that she had better go back to the house and pretend to be foodies.
Seeing Li Lanxin enter the house, and this time even the door was closed, Uncle Hai lay on his back on the recliner and closed his eyes to recuperate. After all, he is an old Jianghu, and he already has a plan in his heart when Li Lanxin interrupts. Now it is clear that Zhang Yunsheng is here to beg him, as long as he sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, he will naturally not suffer. gaffe like just now, I'm afraid I'm going to be killed by Zhang Yunsheng.
Zhang Yunsheng looked at Uncle Hai's posture and knew that he was already planning to brake quietly. However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Zhang Yunsheng will not let Uncle Hai lie there well.
"Uncle Hai, you have been on the rivers and lakes longer than me, and you have seen more than me. Actually, I'm not here today to ask about the situation of Heyitang, but just to ask you about something. ”
After Zhang Yunsheng finished speaking, he waited for Uncle Hai to talk. But Uncle Hai seemed to be really asleep, and he didn't even move his eyelids.
"You're old, if you're tired, just lie there." After Zhang Yunsheng finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed the armrest of the recliner where Uncle Hai was sitting with his right hand.
Uncle Hai runs a calligraphy and painting shop, so his taste is naturally not too low. His chaise longue was made of rosewood, and although an armrest had been smashed under his rage, there was nothing wrong with sitting on it. But the moment Zhang Yunsheng's hand grasped the armrest, Uncle Hai jumped up from the recliner like a lightning strike.
"Uncle Hai, what are you doing here?" Zhang Yunsheng asked as if he was innocent. "I just want to talk closer, Uncle Hai won't be afraid that I will be poisoned, right?"
Uncle Hai seemed to have seen some strange treasure, and he gave birth to Zhang Yunsheng up and down for a long time. In the end, he hugged Zhang Yunsheng at noon: "The old idiot has lived at this age, and he really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai." You said I'm afraid, but you're right. People are old. Originally, there wasn't much to live, but I was afraid of dying. ”
Zhang Yunsheng groped with his hand on the back of the entire recliner, and then lay down on his own. He spun his back on the recliner for a while, and finally found the most comfortable position. Zhang Yunsheng is a person who shares weal and woe, how can he sit by himself, and let an old man who is really 100 years old be idle?
"This is your own home, what are you polite to me?" Zhang Yunsheng pointed to a small square stool next to him that was not half a meter high, "If you don't dislike it, you will just sit there." After all, what we're going to talk about next. Don't dare to let people who don't want to do it hear. You've been on the rivers and lakes for so long, you should always know how powerful it is. ”
Uncle Hai understood, and obediently walked over and sat on the small square stool. Zhang Yunsheng nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "If the Ming people don't say secret words, I won't pretend to be confused with you." Actually, I'm only here today for one thing, as you should have noticed. ”
"I can't imagine that the rivers and lakes have been calm for so long, and there will be a bloody storm again."
Zhang Yunsheng was just a test just now. Where could he have thought that it would really be for him to give permission, Uncle Hai really knew this thing.
Uncle Hai sat on a stool. Hold your knees with your hands to stabilize your body. He shook his head and sighed for a while, and finally spoke: "Don't look at my age, in fact, I live to be a dog." You're so good, I know what. You've practiced it all, and you're asking me what I'm doing? ”
Zhang Yunsheng shook his head: "It's not enough to know it, I still need to know what it is." ”
"This is a sword Gu. It is said to have the same effect as the Gu worms in Miaojiang. The only difference is that the Gu worms in Miao Jiang are living creatures and can only deal with people. But the Sword Gu was different, it was originally a dead thing, so it could move on top of any object. You just touched the handrail. Didn't you just get the sword Gu to that rosewood deck chair? ”
"Sword Gu, is there really such a thing?" Although Zhang Yunsheng also learned magic from Chongyangzi and Master Jieyan, he had never heard of such a thing. But this Uncle Hai's expression seems to be really frightened, and besides, although they are not very friends, they are not enemies after all, is it necessary for Uncle Hai to lie to him?
Uncle Hai knocked on his bare head, and then smiled: "Don't look at me old, but my memory is not bad." Although there are few people on the rivers and lakes who have heard of Sword Gu anymore, but seventy years ago, Sword Gu was actually a very well-known thing. Because there was a capable person at that time, he practiced into a sword Gu. And this person can be called invincible at that time, and no one is her opponent. No matter how many masters are sent by people in black and white, no matter how many methods they use, they can't deal with him. ”
"Are you telling me a joke?" Zhang Yunsheng shook his head, "Although I am often called a rookie, it doesn't mean that I am really a rookie." I haven't been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, but I grew up listening to stories in the rivers and lakes since I was a child. If there is such a kung fu, why is no one mentioning it now? ”
"How can those who have been defeated mention such a humiliating thing? There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. When those people were defeated, they naturally would not spread these things to their disciples and grandchildren. After a long time, except for old people like me, there is really no one in this world who knows that there has ever been such a powerful kung fu. ”
Uncle Hai said very seriously, so that Zhang Yunsheng believed three points. However, he is not a person who is easily fooled, so he asked the most critical question: "This person is so powerful, how did he admit it in the end?" ”
"He didn't admit it, and no one really could have beaten him at that time. But he couldn't beat him, but he couldn't stop the enemies from coming up with other ideas. ”
After Uncle Hai finished speaking, he stopped, which made Zhang Yunsheng feel a little inexplicable. He couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, when I got to the door, I stopped again." ”
"It's a shame to say that such a powerful person ended up being stolen because the weapon he was carrying. After that, dozens of masters in black and white besieged him, desperately injured everyone, and finally killed him. ”
Zhang Yunsheng suddenly felt a chill in his heart: "The weapon was stolen." This is also a little too aggrieved to die. But why did he provoke the wrath, and who was he? ”
Uncle Hai shook his head: "You see that I can only eat a bowl of idle rice in the capital by virtue of my old age now." A few decades ago, I was just a hairy boy. It's not easy to have heard about this by chance, so how can I have the opportunity to know the details? ”
It's been a long time. It turned out to be just a legend. Zhang Yunsheng didn't believe that Uncle Hai only knew such a little thing, because his frightened expression just now was by no means fake. Now that it has reached this point, Zhang Yunsheng knows that if he doesn't highlight the real guy, I'm afraid he won't be able to get some dry goods out of the old fox's mouth. He withdrew his right hand in front of his abdomen, then clenched his fist and pushed it sideways. When his fist was about to reach in front of Uncle Hai, Zhang Yunsheng opened his palm, and then saw that Uncle Hai's eyes were almost in a straight line.
Uncle Hai was naturally staring at Zhang Yunsheng's fist, what he was looking at was the jade pillar in the middle of the fist. His mouth opened and closed, closed and opened. Finally, he finally spit out a few words: "This is Sword Gu?" ”
"I'm not as old as you, and it's only the first time I've heard the name of Sword Gu today, how do you know what this is. But you're well-informed, can you help me with a closer look? ”
When Uncle Hai heard Zhang Yunsheng's request, his head kept clicking like pounding garlic. At the same time, his hand couldn't help but stretch out towards the jade pillar, but before he could touch the jade pillar, the jade pillar itself suddenly disappeared.
"But the entity can be illusory, it seems to be a legendary thing." Uncle Hai clenched his fists and arched his hand towards Zhang Yunsheng. "This is really providential, but I have a word of advice for you, little brother. I want to be the last person who practiced sword Gu back then. Although I don't know how to die, it will end badly after all. If you don't want to follow in their footsteps, it's better to keep a low profile. ”
Zhang Yunsheng shrugged: "I want to keep a low profile, but people put a knife on my neck, I can't wait to die." Now that you've already said about the Sword Gu, can you say a little more? ”
"Don't tell the old man. What else are you not showing? ”
Zhang Yunsheng smiled: "It would be nice if I had that ability, but in fact I am almost a wasted person." Xin'er came to you last night, you won't forget about it, will you? ”
"Broken intestine grass, didn't I already give Xin'er a plant?" Uncle Hai pondered for a long time and suddenly asked. "Don't tell me that the reason why you have cultivated into a sword Gu is actually because of that Broken Intestine Grass."
Zhang Yunsheng didn't expect Uncle Hai to connect these two things. He hurriedly waved his hand at Uncle Hai: "Uncle Hai, you really know how to joke. If the herb has that effect, then how can others take it as the kind of poison that harms people? In fact, I came here to ask you, just to ask you, will there be any side effects after eating the broken intestine grass? ”
"The effect of the Broken Intestine Grass is very simple, that is, to kill. As for whether there are side effects, it's hard to say, after all, everyone who has eaten the broken intestine grass has died, and none of them have survived to accuse it. ”
Hearing this conclusion, Zhang Yunsheng couldn't help but shudder in his heart. Fortunately, he accidentally stabbed the jade pillar into his stomach at the beginning, otherwise he would have tried to break the intestine grass. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little angry: "Since the seniors know that the poison of the Broken Intestine Grass is so powerful, why did they give it to Xin'er?" Didn't Xin'er tell you that she wanted to cut off her intestines not to kill people, but to save people? ”
"Since you have a sword Gu, then let's not talk about seniority and age, it's better to talk about friendship among peers. In the future, you don't call me Uncle Hai, just call me Brother Hai. As for the grass I gave Xin'er at the beginning, it was naturally the starting price she gave. This broken intestine grass is a commodity to me. Since others can afford to sell it, I can naturally afford to sell it. As for whether others live or die, I don't care. Besides, the decay is old after all, how will anyone know if there are any strange people who have come up with some means to turn decay into magic? ”
Zhang Yunsheng is helpless, this Uncle Hai has gotten into the eyes of money. It turned out that as long as others could afford to pay for it, he was willing to sell the Broken Intestine Grass, and Zhang Yunsheng still hoped that he could break the barrier of the Qi Sea if he could find out from him.
Now Zhang Yunsheng's sea of qi has re-condensed, but I don't know if it can last. Since Uncle Hai doesn't know anything about this, it seems that Zhang Yunsheng can't pin the matter of whether the Broken Intestine Grass is effective or not on Uncle Hai. Anyway, if it can be used, use it first, and then take the risk of swallowing the broken intestine grass, which seems to be a bit more than worth the loss.
Although Uncle Hai will let Zhang Yunsheng call him Brother Hai, Zhang Yunsheng really can't call him. He arched his hand towards Uncle Hai: "There is a lot of trouble, I'm sorry." The green mountains do not change the green water, let's meet another day. ”
Zhang Yunsheng left after speaking, and even forgot to call Li Lanxin out. But before he could walk out of the door, Uncle Hai stopped him: "You've finished asking all your questions, but I still haven't asked you?" How did you know that my surname is Ye? ”
"Honestly, I am blind. Who told you to wear a little vest all day long, showing the tattoos on your arms? Although I don't have any other specialties, I have good eyes. If I'm not mistaken, your tattoo isn't really for coolness, it's for covering up the birthmark on your arm. ”
Hearing Zhang Yunsheng say this, Uncle Hai's face turned white and blue, green and red, and he changed several times in an instant. Zhang Yunsheng looked at him like this and knew that his guess was true.
"I just said I escaped from prison with a guy who has this birthmark on his arm. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a family heirloom. Since you have told me a lot, I can't hide it anymore, his name is actually Ye Shi. ”
Before Zhang Yunsheng finished finishing Ye Shiyao's name, he saw Uncle Hai make a stop gesture towards him. It seems that Uncle Hai knows Ye Shiyao, but he just doesn't want others to know about their relationship. Zhang Yunsheng has a bunch of things to do, so he naturally has no time to take care of others. He walked out of the courtyard again, but this time he didn't forget to call Li Lanxin together.
Seeing these two uninvited guests walking out of the small courtyard, Uncle Hai returned to his house. He pushed Li Lanxin's piled pastries to the floor again, and then took out a thin and almost transparent piece of silk paper from the drawer. He wrote a few words on it, then walked out of the house and whistled a few times into the sky.
I saw a snow-white pigeon fly down from the ridge of the roof, and then landed firmly on Uncle Hai's shoulder. He grabbed the carrier pigeon in his hand and placed the silk paper in a bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg. After all these preparations, he took the pigeon up and saw it soar into the sky until there was no sign of it. (To be continued.) )
