Chapter 19: The Master of the Sword
Ling Mu limped towards Wanhualou, although he didn't know why the shopkeeper of Wanhualou would save his life, and he didn't know why the shopkeeper of Wanhualou knew Yinyou, but no matter what, he still had to go over and thank others.
The sun set, and when the sky gradually darkened, Ling Mu finally came to Wanhua Tower.
Unlike the bustling street market outside, Wanhualou, which was supposed to be overcrowded, was closed at this time, leaving only a small door.
Yuan Yong, who was standing at the small door, saw Ling Mu coming over and shouted, "Little brother Ling Mu, come in." ”
Ling Mu took his last breath and walked over, as soon as he entered the door, he felt as if he had returned home, he instantly relaxed, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
At this time, the imperial capital was thousands of miles away.
In a golden hall, a young man in a black dragon robe, holding a large pen the length of a man, wrote something on the ground.
A black figure suddenly appeared in the hall, and he couldn't see his face clearly, only to see that the cloak behind him had a black "shadow" character.
The eunuch and palace maid in the hall saw this figure, her face changed, and she hurriedly withdrew from the hall.
"What's the matter?" the young man in the black dragon robe continued to play with the large pen in his hand.
"The two masters of the Guanhai Observatory heard the news that there was movement in the sky on the other side of Qiling City. ”
The young man in the black dragon robe stopped the big pen in his hand, walked to the door, looked up at the dark sky, and said: "Those guys in the sky, it's really not worry-free, send a shadow guard team to take a look." ”
"Yes. Without a superfluous answer, the black figure disappeared in an instant after receiving the order.
The young man in the black dragon robe put down the large pen in his hand, came to the desk, picked up a long black knife, and touched the hilt of the sword.
Ling Mu in Wanhualou suddenly woke up from his sleep, not because he had another nightmare, but because he was hungry.
I checked my body, and although it was fine, my aura was almost exhausted, and my body was exhausted.
took out three pieces of spiritual flesh from the jade ring and swallowed them together, and then ran the "Spirit Swallowing Formula".
After a long time, Ling Mu felt that the aura had filled his limbs and hundreds of bones again, but the sea of qi still did not move, and there was no sign of expanding the pulse.
Ling Mu shook his head a little helplessly, he had been stuck here for several days, although the sea of qi was full, he couldn't break through, as if he was waiting for an opportunity.
Ling Mu wanted to go and thank the shopkeeper of the flowers, but it was not easy to pass in the middle of the night now, so he decided to talk about it tomorrow.
Ling Mu, who was about to lie down and rest, suddenly heard a charming voice in his ears: "Come up." ”
Frightened, Ling Mu looked left and right, but there was no one, and then Ling Mu raised his head, looked upstairs, and shook involuntarily.
"Squeak, squeak. Ling Mu gently stepped on the stairs and climbed up one by one.
There are three floors in this Wanhua Building, but there is a small attic on the top floor, the shopkeeper of Wanhualou, and the shopkeeper lives here.
But no one has ever seen the flower shopkeeper, and no one has ever seen the flower shopkeeper leave here.
There have always been various rumors about the flower shopkeeper Qiling City.
Some people say that the flower shopkeeper has the ability to reach the sky, and later got tired of killing and lived in seclusion here. Some people also say that the reason why the shopkeeper never goes out is because she was disfigured by the enemy, but the person who said this accidentally fell the next day and broke his whole body. There are even rumors that the flower shopkeeper will catch some young and handsome teenagers to collect yang and supplement yin.
Ling Mu had naturally heard of these rumors, and when he came to the door of the attic, Ling Mu was looking left and right, not knowing what to do.
So Ling Mu passed through the door and said inside: "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the shopkeeper, Ling Mu will repay you in the future." ”
After speaking, Ling Mu prepared to go downstairs and go back.
"Why don't you come in and sit down?" a voice came to the bone.
Ling Mu trembled all over, so he had to turn around and say, "It's not good to be a lonely man and a widow at such a late hour, Hua Shopkeeper." ”
"Have you forgotten that the concubine saved you, but it was to watch you dance the sword. After saying that, the door of the attic slowly opened, and then an undeniable voice came: "Come in." ”
Ling Mu had no choice but to bite the bill and walk in.
As soon as Ling Mu entered, the door behind him slammed shut, and the room was also pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Ling Mu, who was at a loss, said with some doubts: "Flower shopkeeper?"
"Why are you stunned, dancing with a sword!"
Listening to the voice of the flower shopkeeper, Ling Mu wiped the sweat on his head and said, "Do you really want to dance the sword?"
"Naturally, I want to see you dance the sword, otherwise why should I save you, is it possible that you think that the concubine has taken a fancy to your body. ”
Facing an almost provocative voice, Ling Mu said helplessly: "But I won't, I really won't, I can't do any swordsmanship." ”
"Oh, then what happened to the light and qi waves that erupted when you just got the sword? Didn't you say that it was your unique martial arts?"
Faced with the question of the flower shopkeeper, Ling Mu was a little surprised, and said in his heart: "Everyone knows that I am talking nonsense, could it be that this flower shopkeeper will take it seriously, she should just want to know how I activated the green silk glass sword." "But the secret of the Vermilion Bird essence blood in his body naturally can't be said.
Ling Mu had no choice but to say: "I'm a liar, how can I have any unique martial arts, and I don't know why the green silk glazed sword is like this in my hand." ”
After being silent for a while, the original charming and provocative voice of the shopkeeper turned into a cold voice at this time, and said: "You are not the owner of the Qingsi Glass Sword, but since you can activate this sword, then this sword will stay by your side first, go down." ”
The door that was originally closed slowly opened, and after listening to the words of the shopkeeper, Ling Mu was a little puzzled, but he couldn't say anything more, so he walked out.
Downstairs, Ling Mu, who was lying on the bed, kept thinking about the words of the shopkeeper, and said with some dissatisfaction: "This green silk glass sword can only be used by me, and it is in my hands, I am not his master, who is!"
The next day, Ling Mu woke up early, and the injuries on his body were also healed, and he swallowed another piece of spiritual flesh and continued to refine it with the "Spirit Swallowing Technique".
Ling Mu also knew that his current strength was too weak, and he had no power to fight back in front of a true master.
Ling Mu's most urgent thing now was to complete the expansion of the pulse and reach the Spirit Gathering Mirror.
Only by completing the three steps of quenching the body, gathering the spirit, and expanding the pulse can one step into the realm of cultivation in the true sense.
Hearing the sound of the door of Wanhualou opening, Ling Mu knew that it was not too early, so he walked out.
Yuan Yong saw Ling Mu and asked with some concern, "Do you still want to go?"
"Naturally, I'm going, and thank you Brother Yuan last night. Ling Mu clenched his fists in salute.
Yuan Yong didn't stop him, but said: "Be careful, the four major families will definitely attack you today." ”
Ling Mu nodded and walked out.
