Chapter 16: The Human Emperor
After saying goodbye to Yang Yu, He Qi soon came to the grocery store.
Yang Yu's news brought him a slight sense of urgency, and he must now seize the time to improve his strength.
Although He Qi is confident that he is not afraid of Lu Xuyao's challenge, the other party has already learned martial arts, and there may be more than one. Coupled with Captain Lu's teachings, even if he is one realm higher than him, he does not dare to win easily.
Even if he was very contemptuous of the actions that the other party might commit, he still had to give corresponding respect to his strength, and He Qi still understood the truth that there was no void under his reputation.
He Qi was already standing at the door of the grocery store at this time. In front of him, the closed door blocked out the sunlight that wanted to get in.
This time is different from the past, the last time it was because Old Man Li cheated himself, so he kicked in the door directly. But this time I have asked him, so the superficial etiquette still has to be done.
Thinking of this, He Qi quickly moved forward and gently kicked open the door in front of him with his foot, and then he used his dexterous movement to dodge the large dust that shook off the door.
For a while, the smoke was filled, and He Qi felt as if he was in a dream at the moment, and the fine particles that swirled around were like an aura that rendered this place extremely dusty. The golden sunlight even gave it a gorgeous coat.
If it weren't for the slight discomfort coming from his nose at this moment, He Qi might have felt that he must be a detached person who could live here.
The movement outside the door finally alarmed the old man Li in the house, and he saw the old man come out scolding. The old man was obviously very unpleasant to the people who disturbed him.
"Good morning, old liar!" He Qi had always thought of himself as a very polite teenager, and even though the old man in front of him showed this attitude, he still smiled and said hello to the other party.
"Please, boy, let me go!!Lao Tzu is bad enough!"
When the dust cleared, the old man finally saw He Qi's familiar face. Then he complained to He Qi.
In his eyes, this kid's heart is as black as his hair, and what happened last time has already cost him a lot, and this time it is even worse. With his years of experience, he felt that this kid might have the physique of a broom star, and for this kind of character, he always insisted on getting as far away as he could.
"What's wrong with you?" He Qi looked at the old man and asked suspiciously, according to the past, usually the old man Li had a malicious smile on his face when he saw him, but now this old man actually showed a sad face.
"You kid still have the face to ask?" the old man looked at He Qi and shouted, then he stretched out the index finger of his right hand, tremblingly pointed to a pile of unknown residues on the right side of the hall, and roared at He Qi: "I was wiping the dust on that porcelain bottle just now, if it wasn't for your kid suddenly coming in and scaring me, I wouldn't have broken that bottle by mistake, you must know that the bottle is an antique from a certain dynasty thousands of years ago, and now it is lost by your kid......"
He Qi looked at the old man who was spitting in front of him, constantly counting his own, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart. Then he couldn't stand the old man's nagging, and interrupted the old man's words.
"Isn't it just a broken bottle? I have a lot of it, and if you want it, I'll pay you for it." ”
"Do you know the origin of that bottle? According to legend, it was a palace weapon, and even the emperor used it, how can it be compared to the broken bottle of your boy's family. The old man was very angry about He Qi's words.
"The Emperor of People??" He seemed very puzzled by what the old man said about the human emperor, if the old man said that a certain mayor used him thousands of years ago, he might think that this bottle was really precious. But the old man was talking about the human emperor, and in He Qi's opinion, this was obviously made up.
"That was a long time ago, and I also heard it from my elders when I was younger, and according to legend, the ancestors of Luoyan Town settled in the outside world before they came here, and the outside world was ruled by a very powerful dynasty at that time, and the human emperor was the master of that dynasty. Later, for unknown reasons, the ancestors moved to Falling Rock. I don't know much about the specific situation, but I don't know much about it. Old man Li slowly explained to He Qi, he seemed very patient with this kid's short-sightedness.
Old man Li's words were like a storm that swept up in He Qi's heart, He Qi couldn't calm down for a long time, this was the first time He Qi had heard such detailed information about the outside world.
"There may be a powerful dynasty in the outside world, and with his mysterious origins, what role will the mysterious person who can successfully send himself to the town play in this dynasty?
He Qi kept thinking about it, regardless of whether Old Man Li's words were true or not, but it was obviously very touching to him now, and at this time, his inner belief was a little stronger again because of this sentence.
"What's wrong with you kid? Forget it, I don't expect you to compensate me, and you don't have to worry too much. Even if I sell you, I guess I can't afford to lose it. Old man Li saw He Qi, who was silent at this time, and said helplessly.
According to this kid's character, no matter how precious this bottle is, this kid will never admit it, and now that the other party has found out with his conscience, he shows such a panicked attitude, Old Man Li is very pleased with this.
"By the way, what was this bottle used for?" At this moment, He Qi seemed to suddenly think of something, and he opened his mouth to ask Old Man Li.
"Hmm.... It seems to be used for urine. It is said that the Emperor of the People also used it when he was young, but this is impossible to verify....." Old Man Li said to He Qi after thinking about it.
"......" He Qi was suddenly shocked by Old Man Li and had nothing to say, and his idea of preparing to take the pile of debris in the corner back for study was also shattered.
As a collector, He Qi felt that Old Man Li was quite qualified, at least he was familiar with everything. But as an elder, He Qi really found it difficult to show him the slightest respect.
"By the way, are there any martial arts skills here that are suitable for me to practice?" After sorting out his thoughts, He Qi told Old Man Li the purpose of his coming here.
"If you want to say that martial arts are very precious anywhere, you can be regarded as finding the right person for me" The old man patted his chest and assured He Qi, suddenly, he seemed to reflect something, and said loudly to He Qi: "What? You have cultivated to the point where you need martial arts, what realm are you now?"
"Yang Vein Realm!" He Qi nodded at the old man, and then replied truthfully.
The old man's heart was full of shock at this moment, he really didn't expect that the kid who hadn't started before would now reach the realm of Yang Vein Realm, and he was very surprised by He Qi's cultivation speed. Then his eyes lit up, and he smiled at He Qi and said, "It's not impossible to give you martial arts, but now you have to do me a favor." ”
"What's the busy?" He Qi asked the old man, he was not surprised at all that the old man made a condition after hearing it, and he would be puzzled if the old man didn't say anything.
"Help me find something," the old man said to He Qi, and then his eyes fell to the outside of the door. He Qi's arrival seemed to the old man at the moment like Feng Ganlu after a long drought.
Although not long has passed, it still can't stop the urgency in the old man's heart at this time.
