Chapter 429: Volunteers (Part I)
This shop is not very famous on the avenue leading to the northwest in the Central Plains, because it is not like Luzhou Jiewu House's signature dish "Forget Worry Tofu", nor is it like Hangzhou's "Yunshui Ballad" has a drama of attracting customers; The reason why it was able to gain a foothold on this Guluo Road was completely dependent on the alertness and intelligence of the shopkeeper.
It is exactly what the previous sentence said: Guluo Dao has thousands of people who are interested in opening stores, but those who can stay will do business.
This sentence is tepid and does not sound special at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it has a hidden murderous motive. There are many officers and soldiers in Guluo Dao, there are more robbers, and there are already many people everywhere. If there is one person who eats the overlord meal, then everyone will eat the overlord meal, and the restaurant will naturally not be able to open. Therefore, the characters of the town store must be there, and they must be powerful enough.
There is another inn just a hundred miles away, where the dart master of the aisle is usually sharpened, and occasionally there are people from the government who live temporarily; Compared to here, there are many people who abide by the rules, but it is not excluded that people with short mouths and short hands are mixed in.
Lao Xie, the last disciple of the declining sect, walked tremblingly on this Guluo Road at the age of nearly thirty or forty years old, carrying a rotten wooden cane and carrying a tattered bag; He had a dry mouth and was hungry, and when he saw an inn not far away, he wanted to go in and ask for some water to drink, and if he could still enjoy a steamed bun to eat, then he could go to the end of the world a lot more.
No one knows why he left his homeland, no one knows where he is going, no one knows how many absurdities he has experienced along the way, but at this moment, anyone who can see with eyes knows that he is going to be kicked out.
The innkeeper was fierce and vicious, and his temper was not much better; Originally, it was very difficult to do business on this Luo Road, let alone give alms to beggars who came and went; In fact, he saw the dirty old Xie from afar, wishing that he would find another place. But this is only his store within a hundred miles, and it is really difficult for a strong man to refuse.
"Xiao Er, you take that beggar around, find a well, give him saliva to drink, and let him go, don't let him enter the store."
"Yes, shopkeeper."
Xiao Er went in response, and the linen cloth that wiped the table was put on his shoulder, and Shi Shiran walked over.
"It's called Hanako, yes, it's called you."
"Ah...... Oh. Lao Xie was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, "You guys...... Do you need to volunteer? ”
"Hey?" It's the first time Xiao Er has seen such an active beggar, "What can you do?" If you can't work, come over to me quickly, and it's your blessing to reward you with a sip of water. ”
Lao Xie was not in a hurry, and after putting down his bag, he took out a cloth bag from it, he slowly opened it, and there was a sword hidden inside!
What a clean sword!
Xiao Er was surprised, this sword was incompatible with this beggar, the sword was wiped very clean inside and out, the scabbard did not have a single black spot left by sweat, and the hilt was even more as if it had just been installed.
"You're here to sell swords?"
"Slut?" Lao Xie frowned when he heard this, but he had a gentle personality and didn't care too much, "No...... I really just want to beg for a drink, eat a few steamed buns, and help your boss watch the day. ”
Although Xiao Er doesn't know martial arts, there is no white ding on this Guluo Road, not to mention those who are powerful, just listening to the dart master say how the most famous swordsmen in the rivers and lakes cherish their swords, he has already gained a lot of knowledge.
"You wait, I'll go tell the shopkeeper."
As a result, as soon as Xiao Er turned around, he found that his shopkeeper had been kicked out of the door.
"Lao Tzu is just eating the overlord meal, what can you do! Hmph, I can't eat it in 'Hundred Miles', and I can't eat it in you! When I'm a black whirlwind is vegetarian?! In response, there was a reckless man with a long and short axe, with a long beard and dark skin, who seemed to be wandering outside the gates, and this figure could scare away many passers-by.
Xiao Er was frightened, he ran to the shopkeeper and helped the shopkeeper up.
"Palm...... Shopkeeper? Are you alright? ”
"Ahem...... Ahem, ahem! I...... I'm fine, it's just...... All the dart masters inside were beheaded by him...... This guy is a ruthless guy, and he's afraid of this store...... I am...... Ahem! "Every time the shopkeeper says a word, he vomits a mouthful of blood, so it doesn't seep people.
Black Whirlwind enjoyed the sight that everyone was afraid of him, and called the little brother at the table and said, "Brothers, touch those dart masters who are not long-eyed before leaving, and all the entanglements are collected!" ”
"Yes!" The younger brothers responded happily.
Then, while picking his teeth, Black Whirlwind walked to the shopkeeper, and just as he was about to speak, he was poked in the thigh by a wooden cane, and his pants were stained with a lot of dirt and dust.
"Old beggar, you are dying!" The black whirlwind holds an axe in one hand and slashes when he makes a gesture. Unexpectedly, Lao Xie turned around and hit the crook of his leg with a cane, and suddenly made him kneel on one knee, and the axe also slashed to the ground without any suspense, raising a cloud of dust.
Not only that, but this kneeling also allowed the wooden stick to poke into the gums, and he couldn't pull it out no matter how he pulled it out, so painful that he opened his bloody mouth and screamed.
The shopkeeper was also stunned at this time, he didn't know that this beggar had such great ability, and the shopkeeper pointed out that this beggar had a very clean sword.
"I see!" The shopkeeper's epiphany, "He must be an invincible swordsman in the world!" ”
However, the situation turned around, and Lao Xie, who was still teaching people to be a man in the last second, was paralyzed on the ground and unable to move in the next second.
Xiao Er was anxious, "Hero, what's wrong with you!" ”
However, Lao Xie didn't even have the strength to speak, watching the black whirlwind slowly recover from the pain, the huge figure blocked the scorching sun, and he looked particularly eerie with his back to the sun.
The black whirlwind slowly pulled out another long axe behind his back, if Lao Xie really ran out of strength, then the black whirlwind could cut it into two pieces in an instant.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper didn't say a word, took out a delicate snack from his arms, and threw it to Lao Xie.
Lao Xie's eyes were only left with this one lamb soup flying in mid-air, and his body jumped up automatically, narrowly avoiding the giant axe that had been chopped down; He opened his mouth wide and took a bite of the yokan.
It was still in mid-air, only half a meter farther than where he had fallen to the ground just now.
It was still in mid-air, but he reached out and pulled out his tattered bag.
Still in mid-air, it only takes a moment to draw the sword.
Bloody, dripping.
The fleeting snow-white sword light seemed to tell a legend.
A legendary sect that is almost forgotten by the people of the rivers and lakes, the former supreme martial arts -
"Wu Xuanmen!"
Jing Mo, who was sent by the shopkeeper to buy vegetables, had just returned from the vegetable market in the market town, and found another person she was looking for at the door of the only competitor within a hundred miles......
