Chapter 5: The Sword in the Mountain and River Town (3)
Taking off the hat and holding it in his hand, Li Mengzhou squinted his eyes, there is no difference between the night of the mountain and river town and the capital, and even because of the picturesque rendering of the landscape, even if it is hot and summer, at night, it gradually becomes cooler, compared with the capital city is so hot and dry day and night, but the mountain and river town is more comfortable.
Shanhe Town is just a town after all, except for the night watchman, there is no curfew, so at night, Shanhe Town is still lively.
"Meow!" a wild cat glared along the side of the street as it glanced at the passers-by with its big blue eyes, barked lazily, found a comfortable spot, and lay down on the spot, but its sapphire eyes were still wide open.
Inside the wildcat's pupils, there was a figure, in the shadows of a certain part of the street, crouching there, also scanning the pedestrians on the street.
After a while, he seemed to notice something, got up and walked out.
"This brother, please stay. ”
Li Mengzhou looked at the young man blocking the road with some astonishment, and asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong with you?"
The young man first glanced at Xiao Zhinan, and then lowered his voice and said, "I can see that you are all cultivators, and I believe you can also sense that we are the same kind of people." ”
Before the young man appeared, Li Mengzhou clearly sensed a trace of the aura that belonged to the cultivator, but the cultivation was a little weak, and he was not surprised by the young man's words, but still looked at the other party in confusion.
The young man continued: "I guess you and I have the same purpose, Shanhe Town is named Shanhe, of course, not only because of blind arrogance, but also because it is indeed a bit extraordinary. ”
Li Mengzhou was puzzled: "What's unusual?"
In addition to the very good scenery of the mountain and river town, Li Mengzhou really didn't notice anything unusual, and Li Mengzhou felt extremely puzzled by the young man's words.
On the contrary, it was the sentence 'our purpose is the same' that made Li Mengzhou feel unusual.
The young man also glanced at Li Mengzhou suspiciously, and said: "Most of the cultivators who appeared in Shanhe Town have the same purpose, you don't have to hide it, we should be honest, I see that there are only two of you, it is better for us to cooperate, so the success can be greatly enhanced." ”
Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan glanced at each other.
They couldn't understand what the young man was saying at all, but it seemed that there were many cultivators in the mountain and river town, and they all came with the same purpose, and what could attract cultivators, in addition to the place where the spiritual energy was full, there must be some kind of heavenly treasure.
Most of the spiritual objects in the world will be in places full of spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy in the mountain and river town is not very full, and it should be difficult for any spiritual objects to appear.
In addition to the essence of mountains and stones used to forge blades or play a special effect, spiritual plants are the things that medicine practitioners need most, but these spiritual objects are difficult to do much to help practitioners.
For example, the immortal bamboo in the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace is only to refresh and awaken the mind, in fact, if you really want to say that it has any great effect, it is not so, but after the spiritual plant medicine master refines it, it can make a trace-seeking incense, or an elixir to treat the cultivator's injuries, and it cannot improve the cultivator's cultivation.
The spiritual objects born in the world have a greater effect on ordinary people, and they are not something that cultivators must obtain, they can be regarded as dispensable.
However, some spiritual objects are indeed treasures for cultivators whose cultivation is still very low, at least they can stabilize their state of mind, and they can be more distracted in the state of visualization, which will help them break through the realm.
For a great cultivator of a realm like Xiao Zhinan, there is no difference between the spiritual objects in the world and ordinary plants, so he really can't be interested in the slightest.
Even for Li Mengzhou, the spirit objects were of little use, because it was impossible for those spirit objects to help him cross the threshold of the Four Realms.
It is common for young men to not even cross the threshold of the Three Realms, and they will be attracted by some kind of spiritual object, but Li Mengzhou has no leisure to cooperate with a little monk and snatch a spiritual object that is useless.
"I think you're misunderstanding something, we're just passing through Shanhe Town, and we don't know what you're calling a common purpose. ”
Hearing Li Mengzhou's words, the young man's expression was a little stunned, he looked Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan up and down, and suddenly said with some horror: "You are sword cultivators?!"
Although the one holding the sword is not necessarily the one who is holding the sword, the one who is holding the sword is definitely the one who is holding the sword.
Noticing the young man's slightly strange reaction, Li Mengzhou frowned slightly and said, "We are sword cultivators, what's the problem?"
The young man's expression became cloudy, and he was secretly annoyed, he didn't realize just now that it was not a good thing for a sword cultivator to appear in Shanhe Town.
He didn't say anything more, but turned around and ran away in a little panic, looking back from time to time, as if he was afraid that Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan would catch up.
Li Mengzhou was still in a state of confusion, watching the young man run away.
But there was a sound of sword explosion in his ears, and the sword flew out of Xiao Zhinan's hand, nearly a hundred meters apart, and caught up with the young man in an instant, turned the blade of the sword, and directly hit his eyebrows, forcing the young man to stop, and cold sweat flowed down.
"Sister Fairy!"
At this moment, Lin Zhanhong's voice sounded in surprise, he looked at the suspended flying sword, ran to Xiao Zhinan with excitement, and said breathlessly: "Sister Fairy, you are really Sister Fairy!"
After getting the consent of his father Lin Dafu, Lin Zhanhong ran out to find Xiao Zhinan, and he also ran several streets to find here, but he saw the magical picture of the flying sword, and his whole body was trembling, and his face was red with excitement.
Several Jianghu people who came with him also widened their pupils, and they were completely stunned when they saw the cultivator's methods for the first time.
Although the strong of the martial arts grandmaster can also simply use the gang qi to drive away, but after all, there is no way to compare with the cultivators, they are not qualified to know the martial arts grandmaster, let alone the cultivators, such a magical picture makes them speechless with the excitement of Lin Zhanhong.
Lin Zhanhong's mood is complicated.
He has been looking for cultivators for too long, although he has been persevering, but he himself knows very well that if he has not gained anything, he may also choose to give up, saying that he is a loser, but if it really hurts the foundation of the Lin family, he actually knows what it means to take a step back and open the sky.
But just when he was on the verge of giving up, Sister Fairy appeared.
He suddenly felt like crying. It would be better if I could cry in the arms of my fairy sister.
Li Mengzhou: "???"
Li Mengzhou looked at Lin Zhanhong with a very strange expression, he really couldn't hide anywhere, this was the silver sent to the door, it was okay to refuse once, but he couldn't refuse anything the second time.
After all, things like this don't happen every day.
Xiao Zhinan obviously had a headache, and just when she was in a flash, the young man avoided the last sword, pulled out his legs and ran wildly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Zhinan was very angry, and recalled the last flower sword between his hands, and with a flick of his wrist, he crossed Lin Zhanhong's neck, and said coldly: "If you continue to appear in front of me, I will cut you with a sword." ”
Although the sword blade was very cold, and Xiao Zhinan's eyes were very sharp, Lin Zhanhong did not feel afraid, but said very happily: "Sister Fairy, accept me as an apprentice, you see that it is fate that we meet twice a day, and cultivators should attach great importance to this kind of thing, which means that we are destined to be masters and apprentices, so don't refuse me." ”
If at the beginning, Lin Zhanhong only reasonably suspected that Xiao Zhinan was a cultivator in the tavern, then now that he has basically determined, there is even more reason to give up.
Without waiting for Xiao Zhinan to speak, Li Mengzhou stepped forward with a smile, patted Lin Zhanhong's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Miss Xiao is the personal heirloom of Jianlu, she is a well-known genius in the cultivation world, if you want to worship her as a teacher, how can it be so easy, you must always be more sincere and patient." ”
Lin Zhanhong thought seriously for a while and said, "I think you're afraid you're trying to cheat me out of money?"
He was deceived, this kind of routine is not a hundred but eighty, although Li Mengzhou seems to be very vague, but Lin Zhanhong still knows the truth at a glance.
Li Mengzhou was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and pretended to be calm: "How can a cultivator cheat you out of your money, you can afford to be responsible for saying this." ”
Lin Zhanhong said disdainfully: "I want to worship the fairy sister as a teacher, what does it have to do with you? Even if you give the apprenticeship fee, it is also for the fairy sister, don't want to get a penny." ”
Li Mengzhou was very embarrassed and said: "How can a serious person like me covet your little silver, I don't want it if you give it to me!"
Lin Zhanhong snorted coldly and said, "Don't be the best." ”
Li Mengzhou was defeated in a decadent way, and in these years, it is too difficult to make some money.
He is not greedy for money, but he is too poor, although a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, but he is not a gentleman, even if he is a cultivator, but without money, it is difficult to move an inch.
Xiao Zhinan put the last flower sword back into the sheath, and said with a cold expression: "You don't have cultivation qualifications, even if I accept you as an apprentice, you won't be able to become a cultivator." ”
Lin Zhanhong was struck by lightning, and said in disbelief: "Sister Immortal, are you mistaken? I am so good-looking, how can I not have cultivation qualifications?"
He pointed at Li Mengzhou and said, "This person can become a cultivator even if he looks so ugly, and I should be able to do the same." ”
Li Mengzhou: "......"
Ignoring Li Mengzhou, who was about to beat Lin Zhanhong, Xiao Zhinan said: "Who told you that you can become a cultivator if you are good-looking? The qualification of appearance is not the qualification of cultivation, and who told you that you are good-looking?"
