Chapter 108: Opening the House
The two were about to go out, but they were stopped by Xiao ****.
Xiao Lang smiled and took out a gold coin from his arms, stuffed it into Qin Shu's hand, and said with a meaningful smile, "Brother Qin, you and I are both casual people, even if the sky is the land and the earth is the feast. But I don't think you're a rough man like us, so don't treat her badly! ”
Qin Shu was stunned for a moment, then took the gold coin and smiled faintly, "Brother Xiao, this gold is worth ten thousand gold, and Qin will pay it back in the future." ”
Xiao Lang waved his hand and swaggered downstairs with a few strong men, leaving Qin Shu with a dashing back.
After Qin Shu and Tang Xin'er left the restaurant, they walked around the town, and then planned to find an inn to settle down.
When I walked into an alley, I suddenly found four or five people coming in front of me, one of whom was the man in black in the woods. Looking back, there were also four or five people behind him, a total of ten strong men blocking two of them in the alley.
These ten people are all great martial artists, and the one with the highest cultivation is the one, and they look like they are at least seven or eight layers in the Ning Yuan Realm.
"Hey, the enemy has come to the door. Qin Shu sighed at Tang Xin'er.
Tang Xin'er smiled faintly, "I'm afraid that Childe wants them to come, right?"
Qin Shu smiled again, "You still know me." ”
"Senior brother, it's the two of them. The man in black who appeared in the woods pointed at Qin Shu and Tang Xin'er and said.
The man who is called the senior brother is a man in his forties, and the average life expectancy of people in the Dragon Soul Continent is higher than that of the earth because of their martial arts, so his forties are also considered young.
The man held a delicate long sword, walked up to Qin Shu, hugged his fists, and said, "In Xia Yanping, dare to ask Your Excellency's surname?"
"In the Book of Lower Qin. ”
Yan Ping looked at Qin Shu carefully, and then looked at Tang Xin'er, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes.
Then he said, "Listen to my junior brother Li Qing, today Your Excellency helped Xiao Lang of the Evil Sect rob our Xuantian Extreme Grass in the wild boar forest, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
Qin Shu shook his head, "I didn't rob us, I just passed by there, and when I saw three people fighting one, I couldn't get used to it for a while, so I helped that person." I didn't expect that person to be from the evil sect, it was really a misunderstanding. ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Qing immediately came up angrily and said, "The surname is Qin, you don't pretend to be innocent there! The evil sect of Evil Cloud Valley is yellow-clothed, and the Yunzong is black-clothed, and no one in the world knows it, you can't tell the difference? You are clearly in a group." ”
Qin Shu smiled, "This brother, the junior brother is from another state, and he doesn't know the rules of the Evil Cloud Valley, it's not surprising, right?"
Li Qing wanted to say more, but was stopped by Yan Ping.
Yan Ping said lightly, "Brother Qin, if you talk about a word of reason in everything, the Yun Sect will not retaliate without asking right or wrong like the Evil Sect. I believe that you helped Xiao Lang unintentionally, but whether you intentionally or not, you have to give us an explanation for this matter, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to go back to the sect and give an explanation to so many senior brothers. ”
Qin Shu nodded, "Yun Sect is really a reasonable and decent family, Qin admires it." Since you have lost a Xuantian Pole Grass because of me, then I will compensate you. ”
When Li Qing heard this, he immediately sneered, "Compensation? It's up to you to get the Xuantian Pole Grass? Do you know how many people it takes to collect a Xuantian Pole Grass and how much time it takes? Just you, and the woman next to you?"
Qin Shu said unhurriedly, "How do you know if you haven't tried it?" Maybe I'm lucky?"
"Luck, do you mean that we have to depend on your luck to lose or not?" Li Qing asked.
"If I can't find it, I'll pay it with gold coins, right?"
Li Qing sneered, "That's good! It's just 20,000 gold for a Xuantian Extreme Grass, you have to take it out." ”
Qin Shu glanced at Li Qing with disdain, then turned his head to Yan Ping and said, "Brother Yan, a Xuantian Pole Grass is 20,000 gold, but the real price?"
A hint of unnaturalness flashed in Yan Ping's eyes, and he paused and said vaguely, "Plus our junior brother's medical expenses, it's almost this price." ”
Qin Shu laughed, "The Yun Sect is really fair and fair. So let's do it. If I can't pick the Xuantian Extreme Grass, I will compensate you with 20,000 gold!"
Li Qing asked again, "What do you use as a guarantee? What if you run away?"
Qin Shu said sarcastically, "There are so many people in your Cloud Sect, don't you have any confidence at all? This is your territory, and I don't know martial arts, if you can still make me run away like this, I don't think you need to mess around in this Evil Cloud Valley!"
Li Qing was furious, pulled out his sword and put it on Qin Shu's neck, and roared, "The surname is Qin, you have to say it again!"
Before the words fell, Tang Xin'er's figure flashed, stretched out her jade hand and pinched the blade of the sword and folded it gently, only to hear a crisp sound of "ding", and the long sword was immediately broken into two. With another flick of his wrist, the broken blade in his hand almost flew past Li Qing's neck, and went straight into a wall behind him.
During the whole process, Li Qing didn't have time to react!
Everyone was shocked. Seeing that this person's cultivation was no more than the fifth or sixth layer of the Ning Yuan Realm, why could he make a move so quickly? No matter how Li Qing said it, he was already at the fifth level of the Ning Yuan Realm, how could he not even react?
Could it be that this person deliberately hid his cultivation? Obviously he is a martial artist, but he is pretending to be a great martial artist?
No wonder they were surprised. After this period of training, Tang Xin'er relied on her outstanding talent, with the help of Endless Blood and Qingque's Heart Technique, she was already a sixth-layer cultivator in the Ning Yuan Realm. And because of the effect of endless blood, the tendons and dantian in the body have thrown off the great martial artists of the same level for several streets, and their actual combat power has approached that of Wuzun. Just now, it was a sudden move, how could Li Qing, who was caught off guard, react?
Tang Xin'er looked at everyone coldly, and a burst of cold killing intent emanated from her stunning appearance, which made everyone's hearts feel cold again.
Qin Shu smiled, "Hey, if you have something to say, why do you use knives and guns?"
Yan Ping groaned for a while with a gloomy face, and said, "Since this is the case, then we will follow what Brother Qin said." Give you seven days, if you can't hand over this Xuantian Extreme Grass after seven days, Brother Qin is afraid that there will be big trouble. ”
Qin Shu nodded, "Seven days is seven days, and a word is a certainty." ”
Yan Ping waved his hand, and everyone retreated.
Tang Xin'er looked at their backs and said, "It turns out that the so-called Yun Sect is not very decent. ”
Qin Shu glanced at Tang Xin'er's beautiful face and said with a smile, "So I'm not a bad guy as an evil sect. ”
Tang Xin'er knew what Qin Shu was referring to, her expression was slightly unnatural, and her beautiful eyes were a little confused, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Qin Shu's gaze.
When Qin Shu saw Tang Xin'er's expression, he felt extremely graceful. Beauty is alluring, just such a simple flirtation, which is enough to beat the yellow jokes of the previous day with those bewitching women outside.
"Childe, aren't you leaving?" Tang Xin'er said softly.
Qin Shu smiled contentedly, "Okay, let's go!"
"What is an open house?"
"Hmm...... It's just a top-notch, stay in the hotel!"
"Oh, it's not early, it's time to open the room. ”
"Haha, that's right, that's right, let's open the room!"
Qin Shu took Tang Xin'er to find an inn while being obscene, and when he asked, there was only one room left in the inn.
Qin Shu said happily, "Then let's have one." ”
Tang Xin'er looked at Qin Shu with some astonishment, and her lips lightly opened her lips and wanted to say something, but she finally swallowed it back.
When she arrived in the room, Tang Xin'er said, "Childe, why don't you find another one?"
Qin Shu coughed lightly and explained a little far-fetchedly, "The main thing is that you are now dressed as a man, and if we live separately, it will arouse suspicion." Do you think, those people from the Cloud Sect must have sent people to keep an eye on us at all times, so don't make mistakes. ”
Tang Xin'er said, "Even if they know that I am a daughter, it is not inappropriate, right? Besides, women pretending to be men are just a convenience on the road, if they come into contact closely, I am afraid that no one will be able to see it." ”
Qin Shu was poor in reasoning, and coughed several times in embarrassment. This reason is enough to deceive Qi Ziyan, but it seems that it is far from deceiving Tang Xin'er.
It seems that it is also a trouble for women to be too smart!
I really couldn't make it up, so Qin Shu had to prevaricate, "Anyway, I did this with a purpose." You don't have to worry, you sleep in bed, I sleep underground. ”
Tang Xin'er frowned slightly, and said after a while, "In that case, it's better for the son to sleep on the bed, and Xin'er to sleep on the ground." ”
"How's that going to work? You're a woman, of course you're in bed. ”
"Childe...... Didn't you look at Xin'er as a young master?" Tang Xin'er suddenly asked faintly.
Qin Shu was stunned, this woman has always been smart, how could she ask such a stupid question.
took a closer look at Tang Xin'er's delicate face, the jumping candlelight sprinkled a layer of red color on her face, at this moment she looked gentle as water, completely devoid of the arrogance and indifference of the past.
The whole world seemed to be quiet, and Qin Shu could clearly hear his heartbeat.
"Xin'er, let me tell you about my hometown. ”
Tang Xin'er was stunned for a moment, "Isn't Childe's hometown Satan City?"
"No, my hometown, in a far, far away place. It is made up of several very large continents, one of which is called Asia. I live in a place called Huaxia on the Asian continent. ”
"Asia, China?"
"That's right. It's a beautiful place. Although there are wars and injustices, there are no people who fight each other without saying a word, and there is no such thing as who can arbitrarily determine who is alive or dead, let alone who can do what and who cannot do according to their birth and status. At the very least, there is an acknowledgement that all human beings are born equal and free. ”
"Really...... Is there such a place?" Tang Xin'er said with wide eyes, "So Childe is doing so much, is it to create a world like your hometown?"
"No, my hometown looks beautiful though...... But something has collapsed. It is rife with greed, lust, and injustice. If I had to build a new world, I wanted it to be able to inherit all the good things about my homeland and hold up what it had collapsed. ”
"Collapsed things?"
"Yes, for example, what you say about courtesy, righteousness, honesty, shame, and the morality that you uphold. Although there are people without Tao in any world, in my opinion, the Dragon Spirit Continent understands the preciousness of morality more than we do. ”
"Childe...... The Dragon Soul Continent is too big, I'm afraid your dream will be difficult to come true. ”
"That's right. But as long as I have a city, I will build an ideal city. As long as I get a state, I will build a state of my dreams. I don't want to be the only one in the world, I just want to see with my own eyes when I am alive, whether it is possible to realize the world of great harmony that the ancient sages said is in the world!"
After Qin Shu finished speaking, he took a deep breath, as if he had spit out all the Shen Ke that had been deposited in his heart for a long time, which was extremely comfortable. In fact, he had never thought about these things before, but he didn't know why, looking at Tang Xin'er, he suddenly had the urge to do these things.
Was it here that he experienced the purity and beauty that he could not experience on earth?
The Tang family, the Qi family, and all the people in the Stele Tower City, which one is not a person who is pure to the extreme? Whether it is Tang Xiao, Wu Tusong, Xia Yan who admits death, or the treacherous and cunning Bi Liefu, which one of them is not dead set on following him? There is also Qi Lin, who looks like he has a black face forever on the surface, although he will scold himself from time to time, but it is purely a kind of love from the elders to the younger generation, although he is not a member of the Qi family, he has long regarded himself as a great-grandson, how can he not know? Not to mention those lovely people in the Stele Tower City.
Here, although there are treacherous villains, at least for the vast majority of people, if you treat him well, he will give you ten points back. This is the purest and most precious creed.
Maybe this is the motivation for me to build that ideal country.
Tang Xin'er looked at Qin Shu in a trance, and was distracted for a while.
Qin Shu smiled softly, "So, don't guess what I look at you in any more eyes." In my opinion, you and I are equal, and you have your freedom. I am the young master of the Tang family, but I will not force anyone in the Tang family to do what he is unwilling to do as a young master. This was the case when the head of the Tang family proposed that you be my maid, and it will be the case in the future. If the Tang family wants to leave me one day, I will send you away with a smile. ”
Tang Xin'er finally came back to her senses and muttered, "Childe, Xin'er...... Never thought of leaving. ”
The two talked at night, and before they knew it, it was midnight. Qin Shu excitedly talked about his ideals, his hometown, and the strange things he had encountered in the past, and he almost didn't tell the story of his crossing over from the earth. Tang Xin'er listened quietly on the side, and would ask a few words when she heard curiosity, but most of the time she looked at Qin Shu quietly and with a smile, and her pure pupils were full of his high-spirited figure.
It wasn't until the rooster crowed three times that the two of them fell asleep on the table.
Early the next morning, Tang Xin'er woke up Qin Shu. After the two washed up, ate some breakfast, and went to the agreed place to wait for Xiao Lang.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Lang was already waiting there. His eyes were red, and he didn't seem to have slept well last night, so he should have chopped wood.
"Brother Xiao, are you here so early?" Qin Shu stepped forward and said with a smile.
Xiao Lang nodded, with a nonchalant look, and said, "I rested a little late last night, and it was not early when I got up, but fortunately I didn't miss the appointment." ”
Qin Shu really wanted to ask how long it would take to chop two months of firewood with the cultivation of a great martial artist. But thinking about it, it's too annoying to ask such a question, so I have to give up.
"Brother Xiao, let's leave now?"
Xiao Lang nodded, then showed a rare serious expression, and said, "Brother Qin, there are a few things I want to tell you before I go, you need to remember. Otherwise, you and I may not be able to come back. ”
(This chapter was originally intended to be divided into two chapters, but later I thought it was the same.) Brothers, just know I'm speeding up. )
