Chapter 72: Backsliding
The lord of the mansion, Han Qing, had already received a message from Cha Mu, and brought Wu Chen as soon as it was dark.
Before Wu Chen stepped into the Hall of Light, under the instructions of Cha Mu, the two disciples prepared clean robes for Wu Chen and asked him to change the soaked clothes on his body. After Wu Chen was cleaned up, he followed the two disciples into the Guangming Hall to meet the mansion master.
As soon as Wu Chen entered the door, the mansion master Han Qing raised his hand and waved, and all the attendants in the hall retreated one after another.
"I've seen the lord of the mansion. ”
After a short silence, Wu Chen raised his eyes and saw Han Qing looking at him thoughtfully, but he didn't speak.
Han Qing got up and paced off the stage, and after a long time of staring, he finally withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and said, "Who are you?
"This exercise is called Taiyi Four Styles?" Wu Chen asked rhetorically.
Han Qing looked at it and didn't say anything.
"I only know that the heart method is unknown, and the exercises are taught by You Lao, and he intends to let me come here to hand over this to the mansion master. Wu Chen said, raised his hand, and removed the hairband wrapped around his bun.
You Lao once reminded him that when he went out of the dust road, he would definitely not be able to take away the things on the island, and Wu Chen thought about it, and this cloth was the most hidden only sewn on the hairband.
Han Qing has been looking at Wu Chen attentively, he said that every word and every expression Han Qing looked carefully in his eyes, and when he saw that he took off the hairband and handed it over intentionally, Han Qing glanced at it and stepped forward to take it.
The two fingers twisted the trend, and the heart suddenly understood.
With a backhand, she held Wu Chen's hairband in the palm of her hand and turned it behind her hand, obviously unwilling to check it on the spot.
"Old You?" Han Qing said.
"Yes, Senior You and I have the righteousness of master and apprentice. ”
Han Qing thought about it in his heart, Uncle Xiao did say before he decided to sneak into the dust road that he would take the pseudonym You surname, and take the similar homonym of the word "You" in Youfu.
"You came up from the dust road?" Han Qing's eyes were sharp.
She really knew You Lao's identity, Wu Chen thought to herself, since the mansion master Han Qing knew that You Lao was dusting the road, she had nothing to hide. Wu Chen nodded, noncommittal.
Han Qing's eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously, "How is he now? Why did you come out of the Dust Blowing Road? Who are you, and why did he take you as an apprentice?"
A series of questions made Wu Chen feel that Han Qing was impatient, and he thought about it and replied: "You Lao is still in the dusty road, and it was You Lao who proposed to accept me as an apprentice and instruct me in the moves. But everything in the Dust Breeze is top secret, and I can't talk about it to the outside world, so please forgive me for not being able to answer other questions. ”
Wu Chen replied, while Han Qing thought about it in his heart.
Since the dust road was built to absorb bait, Uncle Shaw was almost the first to enter, but there was no news for five consecutive years. Not only Uncle Xiao, but also other people in the Youfu sect have no news.
Uncle Xiao took this young man as an apprentice, I am afraid that he is acting in the interests of the dust. As soon as he has the opportunity, Uncle Xiao will definitely hurry up to pass on the news of the key to the Chosen One in the Dust Breeze Path. And this young man is the opportunity to be chosen by Uncle Shaw.
"You Lao... Is he okay?" Han Qing asked after thinking a lot.
This question does not involve the secrets of the dust road, Wu Chen nodded and said: "He is very good, he is strong and self-cultivation." ”
Han Qing seemed to have a look of relief in his eyes, and then asked, "The person sent to pick you up said that he didn't see the Alpha general coming with him, why is this?"
Wu Chen paused: "I made a trick to sneak away halfway, I'm afraid he went to find me." ”
"Oh?" Han Qing's hands behind his back moved slightly, and he smiled quietly: "So that's the case." ”
But I thought in my heart, this kid is not honest.
The words in his mouth couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while.
When Han Qing heard that Wu Chen was the only one who went to Chencang, and there was no sign of the Alpha general and the carriage, he had decisively sent people to investigate along the road, and the news he got back was that traces of fierce fighting were found in a mountain temple.
Presumably, the disappearance of the Alpha general is not so simple......
"If the mansion master is fine, Wu Chen will say goodbye. Wu Chen bowed his hand and said.
Han Qing looked at him again and asked, "You also pass on news to other sects?"
This woman is using me as someone to deliver news for the decoys of the Dust Breeze?
Wu Chen was not angry in his heart, and resolutely refused: "I only brought out the news of You Lao, I have already taken a great risk, I still have private matters to do, so I will say goodbye." ”
After speaking, Wu Chen turned around and left, strode to the door, and suddenly there were attendants outside the door who opened the double door for him. Seeing that the mansion master did not have the intention of hindering, the guards let Wu Chen out of the Hall of Light.
As soon as he left the palace gate, Chamu, who led someone to pick up Wu Chen in Chencang, sent two disciples to send Wu Chen down the mountain.
Wu Chen fixed his eyes and saw that one of the two disciples was the tall and thin person who had originally hugged him to Ying Tianfu, and the dark red mole on the side of his mouth was very clear.
Wu Chen and his two jaws signaled, and the three of them walked towards the Tianfu Mountain Gate at the foot of the mountain.
Wu Chen knew that the most urgent thing he should do now was to buy a weapon. If the river is gone today, who knows where there will be some alien races, even if it is dangerous and difficult to break through, but the lack of a blade is the most terrifying!
"This brother," Wu Chen turned his head to the red mole disciple and said, "Dare to ask the nearest sword-casting shop from here, but the blacksmith king's sword-casting shop?"
He remembered that this disciple had a lot to say, and sure enough, when the disciple heard it, he immediately began to talk to him: "Childe wants to buy weapons?"
Wu Chen's jaw responded: "Exactly." ”
"Hey!" he waved his hand and said: "If you want to buy weapons, you don't need to go so far, if you are in a hurry, you will be at the west gate of Yingtianfu, there is a dark market, there are too many good knives, guns and sticks to buy and sell, you just go there." ”
"Outsiders can also go?" Wu Chen asked.
"Of course, there are many outsiders in the dark market. ”
"Thank you!" Wu Chen thanked him: "I don't know where the dark market of the West Gate of Yingtianfu is?
"No problem!" The disciple with a red mole on his mouth and a monkey cheek slapped his chest, stretched out his hand and led Wu Chen to walk in the other direction. He turned to look at the other disciple who didn't speak, with a somewhat timid look.
Seeing that the disciple who didn't speak didn't object, the red mole disciple smiled and took Wu Chen to continue walking.
"Childe, look, that's the entrance to the dark market, and I can't go out of the house at will without a token, so I'll leave. The Red Mole disciple gave Wu Chen instructions enthusiastically.
Looking around, I saw a high wooden door behind the corner not far away, presumably so.
"The dark market is full of asking prices, are you familiar with bargaining?" The disciple with the red mole whispered to Wu Chen, and raised his eyebrows.
Wu Chen smiled and did not speak. Now that he has money, there is no need to bargain at all, and the remuneration of the dust road is large enough for him to spend a few years.
"You can chop. The disciple thought that Wu Chen was responding to his question, and said with a smile to himself.
Wu Chen didn't say anything, just politely said goodbye to the two disciples one by one, and went their own way.
After the two Ying Tianfu disciples saw off Wu Chen, they had just walked back to the vicinity of the main peak in the mountain, only to hear an eager voice in the distance shouting, "You guys are back!"
"What's wrong?" the two of them said in unison, and saw Senior Brother Chamu hurriedly walking towards the two of them.
"Where is that son named Wu Chen?" Cha Mu asked in a hurried voice.
The Red Mole disciple scratched his head and explained: "He said that he was anxious to buy weapons, so we led him to the Ximen Dark Market. What's wrong?"
"Go!" Cha Mu commanded backwards, and the group of disciples behind him hurried towards the west gate.
"Senior Brother Chamu...... Am I doing something wrong again?" asked the Red Mole disciple timidly, he had always had a low status in Ying Tianfu, and he didn't want to be punished again for doing something wrong.
"You've done a good thing this time. ”
