Chapter 39: Serendibility

After Chen Tangxiu and Yinglu met, they were fortunate to be instructed by Yinglu, and learned a few rare martial arts, and practiced hard all day long to find people to make moves.

One day, Yinglu called Chen Tangxiu to come, and while talking, he accidentally mentioned that he had seen an old man a month ago, saying that he had great wisdom, and if Chen Tangxiu could worship him, he would definitely get closer to the next level, but unfortunately the old man had already left.

Chen Tangxiu was enthusiastic when he heard this, and immediately asked about the whereabouts of the old man.

Yinglu thought about it for a while and said, "I don't know very well. When he came to the store that day, he said that he was looking for the shopkeeper, and I went out to see him, but he didn't stay in the store, saying that he wanted to buy news from me. It wasn't that there were no such people before, but the one he asked about was really ......"

After the words stopped halfway, Chen Tangxiu was anxious and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Hmm......" Yinglu groaned and said solemnly, "He asked me where the eleventh prince of Ji Kang was executed. ”

"Huh?" Chen Tangxiu was also stunned. What is the problem? How can anyone inquire about the place where the prince of the enemy country was executed, and what about the place where he went?

"I reacted to this question as well as you, but the rules of the trade require that you can't ask the buyer a question even if you don't answer it, so I didn't ask. And I really don't know where the prince of Ji Kang was executed, after all, it was a royal matter, so I told him that I heard that the emperor personally executed him, and I was not sure, so I didn't want to take his money.

But the old man didn't say a word, put the silver on the table, and turned away. I haven't seen him since. Yinglu shook his head apologetically.

Chen Tangxiu was surprised, "How can Uncle Ying see that he is wise? Just because of an unbelievable question?"

Yinglu shook his head, "How so." It was that man who made me feel unfathomable. ”

"Oh?"

"Well, that's also the instinct of martial arts practitioners. Just like when you see a strong person, you naturally feel oppressed. Yinglu took a faint sip of tea.

"So is he very good at martial arts?" Chen Tangxiu's eyes flashed with anticipation.

Yinglu was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "No, I can feel it, his cultivation is mediocre, and he is an ordinary martial arts practitioner." Estimate...... Even the generals who defend the city can't beat this sword. ”

"Huh?" Chen Tangxiu instantly declined, "That's it?"

Yinglu glanced at him with disgust, "You kid, it's not only strong martial arts in the world that are considered strong, it's more important here! Like your master, understand?" Yinglu poked him in the temple.

Chen Tangxiu muttered, brushing his temples with his hand to sweep away the discomfort caused by Yinglu's poke, "My master is the smartest person in the world, can that old man compare to him?"

Yinglu glanced at him, "Your master is certainly smart, but it's hard to say whether he is the best in the world." There are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, didn't your master tell you? This is what he always talks about. ”

Chen Tangxiu was stunned when he thought of Ge Xuan's voice and smile when he said this, and immediately became reverent, and asked, "So, he is smarter than my master?"

Yinglu glanced at him helplessly, this kid is good at everything, but he is a little arrogant and impatient, no wonder Brother Chen Tang looks proud and worried whenever he mentions his son.

But fortunately, he still knew how to study modestly, so Yinglu sighed secretly and said to him with a smile: "Maybe, more than a hundred years old, there will always be some unique opinions." ”

Chen Tangxiu nodded contemplatively, and then slapped the table, "Eh, Uncle Ying, where can I find him? What does he look like, what are his characteristics?"

Yinglu was taken aback, "What are you going to do? Looking for him? The northern country is so big, don't think nonsense." ”

Chen Tangxiu was willing to give up, and continued: "Eh, Uncle Ying, I have nothing to do anyway, if I find him, I may be able to break through the bottleneck above my martial arts, please, tell me." It's good to have a clue at all. ”

Hearing Chen Tangxiu mention the fact that he couldn't break through for a long time, Yinglu couldn't help but be a little moved, he had heard the prime minister say that the fear that came from his childhood at this time, but he didn't think about it, and he didn't listen to persuasion, just a chance.

He has more or less mentioned a few words these days, but Chen Tangxiu didn't hear it at all, and turned a deaf ear. He knew that it was useless to talk too much, and now Chen Tangxiu pinned his hopes on an illusory old man, although he wanted to make him recognize the reality, but he couldn't bear the words when they came to his lips.

After all, he is still a mentally incomplete young man, so why bother to dampen his enthusiasm.

After thinking about it, Yinglu said: "Then you go back to Jingjun, since he inquired about the place of execution, he must go, you go and see, if you have the fate to see it, it will be your fate." Uncle can only help you get here. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Ying. Chen Tang Xiu humbly bowed, "Then what does he look like?"

"White hair and white beard...... Hey, I can't tell, I can't remember. ”

"Oh, Uncle Ying, think about it carefully. He's got a mole on his face, he's hunchbacked, he's not good at walking, he's ...... dressed."

Yinglu was thinking about Chen Tangxiu's words, and when he heard him say "take it", a picture suddenly flashed in his mind, and he was happy, "Yes, yes, he took a long dragon head cane." ”

"Dragon's head crutches?"

"Well, at that time, I was still wondering, although the northern kingdom does not restrict the use of 'dragons' by the emperor, but very few people will use them. But it's not that I can't use it, so I didn't think much about it. It's just that the rod is completely black and transparent, so that people can't look at it like an ordinary thing. Ordinary people simply can't afford it. “

"Black cane ......" Chen Tangxiu nodded and muttered to himself, smiling to himself, "Well, I should be able to find him, hey." ”

"Alas, you child. Say what a good thing about you. Yinglu looked at him helplessly and dotingly, and asked, "It's better to go to him now, right?"

"Now?" Chen Tangxiu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled excitedly, "Yes, Uncle Ying! I'll go now, go early and meet early, or do you have a strategy." Ha, thank you Uncle Ying for your encouragement over the past few days, and I will come to visit me when I have the opportunity in the future. The child took his leave. ”

As soon as he made a move, Chen Tangxiu's figure flew out of the window and disappeared into the sky.

Yinglu laughed dumbly, angry and funny, this kid, said that the wind is the rain, I just asked you what strategy I have...... Alas, let it go, you won't find it.

-----

Chen Tangxiu galloped on the official road, all the way with strong skills to support Ling in the air, the so-called standing high and seeing far, he just wanted to see an old man with white beard and white hair and a strange cane in a high place, but there was no trace of even flying for a few days, he was a little unbearable, and stopped in a forest along the road to rest - so sleepy!

Dizzy, he slept for a day and a night, and after eating some wild fruits, he went to the dark old man again.

I don't know if God was moved by his perseverance, he actually heard the news of the old man.

On this day, he was tired of flying and saw a tea shed passing by, so he stopped to eat and drink.

The tea shed was full of people coming and going, Chen Tangxiu thought of the old man, so he ate quickly, but he still heard the high-pitched voice of the person at the next table who was eager to show off-

"You don't know, I can remember all the people I meet on the road, and I can say that I can never forget them. ”

Chen Tangxiu only regarded it as a noise and ignored it, but the passers-by who were eating at the same table with him couldn't help but turn around and say, "Boast." It's okay to tell someone to be quiet for a while, it's hard enough to hurry. ”

"Who is so nosy!" The man turned his face to look at him, but he swept to see Chen Tangxiu, who looked like a scholar, and was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Hey, aren't you the one who flies around in the sky all day long?"

"Huh?" Chen Tangxiu raised his head to look, and was meeting a pair of eyes full of surprise. The person's appearance was mediocre, not outstanding, and his cultivation was ordinary, Chen Tangxiu lost interest just by looking at it, and lowered his head to sweep the food on the plate.

"Brother Tai, why are you in such a hurry?" The man curiously squeezed past the person on the stool on Chen Tangxiu's right, squeezed out half a foot, and occupied it with his body.

Chen Tang didn't raise his head, "What's the matter with you, don't delay me, otherwise you will be in trouble if I start to do it." ”

The man was not afraid, he smiled, "Hey, brother, I saw you floating around in the sky a few days ago, it seems that you have seen every road to Jingjun, are you looking for someone?"

Chen Tang corrected the first meal of hard work, raised a pair of surprised eyes, and immediately became ruthless, "Don't blame me for being rude if you are noisy." ”

The man smiled confidently, "Brother Tai, you see, seeing each other is fate, why don't you tell me what the person you are looking for looks like, I may be able to help you, I have the ability to never forget." ”

Chen Tangxiu swept him suspiciously, "What are your intentions?"

The man was stunned, "What attempt?" The man looked up to the sky and smiled, "Brother Tai, I don't have any intentions, it just depends on how hard you fly around, if I can help you, it's also a matter of effort, where is there any attempt." ”

Chen Tangxiu looked at him suspiciously, but he was still a little moved when he heard that he had the ability to never forget. Forget it, it's not a secret to find the old man anyway, and it doesn't hurt to tell him.

"Well, have you ever seen an old man, old, with a black cane. ”

When the man heard this, he groaned and frowned slightly.

Chen Tangxiu was suddenly disappointed, and continued to eat, obviously the other party didn't know, and he was excited.

The man ignored him, thought for a while, and suddenly grabbed Chen Tangxiu's shoulder, "I remembered it, I saw such an old man half a month ago, and the crutches he was holding were still dragon's, and it didn't look ordinary." ”

"Ah, yes, have you seen him?" Chen Tangxiu seemed to hear the most beautiful voice in the world, and immediately became friendly to that person.

That person didn't expect Chen Tangxiu to be so excited, and he was a little embarrassed, "Hmm...... I've seen it, I've seen it, but it's been half a month ago, he hurried with light skills, much faster than me, counting the footsteps, how can I be in Jingjun for several days now. ”

"Arrived in Jingjun?" Chen Tangxiu was overjoyed, so that he didn't have to search on the road all the time.

The man nodded uncertainly, and just wanted to speak, but Chen Tangxiu slapped the broken silver on the table and flew away, "The store checks out, no need to look for it!"
