Chapter 17: The Blonde Girl
In this way, the three of them left the Absolute Dust Valley under the reflection of the setting sun, each with different thoughts in their hearts.
Gu Qiuyu is still the first time to go out of the valley, surrounded by high mountains outside the valley, there is no way out at all. The most convenient way to get out of the valley is to cross the river, to the Broken Sword River, row out a small boat from the bank, the three of them got on the boat, Xiao Ding exerted his arms, and arrived at the opposite bank in less than half a moment.
On the way, Broken Sword was in a good mood, the smile on the corner of his mouth never broke along the way, and he came to Gu Qiuyu's side from time to time to tell him the surrounding environment of this road, Gu Qiuyu's heart was gloomy, and he listened silently.
Dozens of miles around the Broken Sword River are inhuman, and the nearest city is the first stop that Broken Sword Sheng went to when he went out to practice, a small town called Songcheng.
The three of them rushed to Songcheng that night, and returned to this place again, Broken Sword Sheng was full of emotion in his heart, this small town, left him with good memories, although the days were hard and simple, but he also enjoyed it, because the life here was not experienced in the Absolute Dust Valley.
Gu Qiuyu was also curious to look at this small city, because he had not been out of the valley for many years, so that the son who was born in the capital also had a strong interest in this inconspicuous small city at this time.
"Look, that's the inn where I used to be a buddy. The three of them walked to an intersection, and Broken Sword pointed to the inn not far away and said excitedly, the inn was not too big, there was only one storey house, and the inside was also deserted, and the business was not very good.
Xiao Ding looked up at the familiar inn, nodded, and then led the two of them inside.
"What do the three guest officers eat......" As soon as the three of them entered the door, they saw the shopkeeper greeting them sleepily.
The three of them wondered in their hearts, why there was not even a figure in the inn in the evening, and several tables were covered with dust, and it seemed that no guests had been here for a long time.
"May I ask where is the shopkeeper Liu here?" After the three of them casually found a place to sit down, Broken Sword looked at the shopkeeper and asked.
"Shopkeeper Liu, there's no Shopkeeper Liu here, you're mistaken. The shopkeeper said a little impatiently, I thought there was a guest, but I didn't expect it to be someone who disturbed his dream.
Broken Sword thought that he had changed the shopkeeper in such a short time, and he continued to ask, "It's the shopkeeper Liu, who is not tall and thin, I obviously remember that his surname is Liu, how could I be mistaken." ”
"Do you want to eat? If you don't eat, please go out, this is not a yamen, who are you looking for here?" The shopkeeper said with a bored look, and then stretched out his hand to push the three of them out.
Gu Qiuyu saw that the shopkeeper had a bad attitude, and he was unhappy, so he grabbed the hand that stretched out, just shook it, and the pain made the shopkeeper jump straight on the spot, begging for mercy again and again.
"Uncle, alas...... Uncle, there is really no shopkeeper named Liu here, the previous owner of this store is said to have been killed by gangsters when he went out to buy goods, and now the boss here is surnamed Po. The shopkeeper's painful body was twisted into a twist, and tears flowed down.
After Gu Qiuyu heard this, he looked at the broken sword student with a shocked face on the side, and then let go of his hand, he rolled on the ground in pain, and shouted, "It's broken, it's broken." ”
"Let's go. Xiao Ding pulled the broken sword student who had not come back to his senses, and said helplessly, the owner of this shop he had met several times many years ago, and he was very good, but who would have thought that something would happen.
Broken Sword Sheng stood in front of the inn, took one last look at the inn, and then asked for a tael of silver from Xiao Ding and put it at the door, and turned to leave.
Just after the three of them left, the eyes of the shopkeeper, who was still in pain just now, suddenly became cold, and he looked at the location where the three of them left.
At this moment, a man of twenty-five or sixteen years of age came out of the inn, yawned, came to the counter, and picked up a toothpick and put it in his mouth.
"Hey, Xiaohu, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaohu came to the young man's side and said with a resentful face, "I said, Brother Kong, why do you have to arrange us in this place where birds don't?
As soon as the young man heard this, he shook his eyebrows, slapped the back of Xiaohu's head, and then said, "I said that you kid is just underwhelmed, and the palace master will do whatever you want, where is there so much nonsense, isn't it very good now?
Xiaohu looked around at the deserted inn, pursed his lips secretly, and thought to himself, "Is this a business, how many guests don't scold their mother after eating the food you cooked?"
He also thought about it in his heart, if he really said it, the night would be difficult again, so he raised his head and smiled, "Yes, Brother Kong, what you said is true." ”
The young man held his head high with a natural expression, and the little tiger wanted to kick him in the back.
Then the young man found a chair, put his feet on the table, and leaned there to close his eyes and recuperate.
Xiaohu glanced at the comfortable young man, shook his head helplessly, came to the door of the inn, and found the one or two pieces of silver left by the identity of the broken sword.
"The world is so big, let me go with you...... Anyone who dares to bully my Qingxuan, kill it.
The three of them didn't stay in Songcheng for too long, and after buying some dry food, they went straight to Xuanwu City. During the day, Xiao Ding touched the faces of the two with his hand a few times, and the appearance of the two suddenly changed greatly, and Gu Qiuyu was very relieved.
Broken Sword walked on this road again, which made him feel a lot of emotion.
Along the way, Xiao Ding was not in a hurry, nor did he look for a place to rest, and taught the two of them how to find food and how to arrange when they went to sleep.
A day later, the three of them finally arrived at Xuanwu City, the capital of the Lingzhu Country. Broken Sword looked at the tall city gate, and stopped for a while, because he killed someone here for the first time, and was also hunted down by the officers and soldiers here, and he didn't know if the officers and soldiers would arrest him now.
"It's been three years, don't worry, let's go. Xiao Ding saw Broken Sword's concerns, and said lightly.
Then, the three of them entered the city smoothly, and the officers and soldiers at the gate only symbolically asked a few words, and then did not embarrass them, after all, this is the capital of a country, and the number of pedestrians who come and go every day is innumerable, and if there is no special order, the officers and soldiers are generally just for show.
The area of Xuanwu City is not particularly large, and the prosperity is not comparable to that of Fusang City and Heisha City, but the people here live a simple and calm life. This is also the advantage of a small country, under the protection of the stone country, the country does not need to develop force, and it is impossible for other powerful countries to fight the idea of the Lingzhu country, so the country's tax collection is very low.
Gu Qiuyu also sighed in his heart, this world is so big, how many places have he been to now, how many people have he seen? Who would have thought that in this inconspicuous small country, the lives of the people are so rich, and everyone's smiles are so real.
The three of them walked in the city for a while, and then they came to an inn called Osmanthus Building, which was overcrowded, and there were only one or two places on the first floor of Nuoda, and the rest were filled with diners.
The shopkeeper in the inn saw Xiao Ding and greeted him with a smile, and after a greeting, Xiao Ding also responded a few words, obviously a frequent visitor here.
"Prepare two upper rooms, and serve a few of the specialties of your inn. Xiao Ding said to the shopkeeper, and then the three of them casually found a place to sit down.
After taking his seat, Xiao Ding tasted tea, and Gu Qiuyu looked around at the diners in the inn, because he had already felt the breath of many martial arts practitioners. Gu Qiuyu could feel the breath of others since he was a child, and he didn't know that few people had this kind of talent, and he couldn't imagine how much benefit this talent would bring him.
After looking around, Gu Qiuyu frowned slightly, there were no less than twenty martial artists in this inn at this time, although they were all wearing ordinary civilian clothes, and there were two of them, and there was a faint internal air flowing out of their bodies. People who practice martial arts don't have to be surrounded by breath all day long, and they are usually like ordinary people, only a little breath is revealed, and the breath of these two old men is also very impressive.
Gu Qiuyu was shocked in his heart, and carefully observed the two people, who were over seventy years old, with ruddy complexions, and each had a snow-white beard. There were two young men who were not very old around him, and at this time, one of the old men looked at Gu Qiuyu with a displeased expression, and there was a hint of warning in his eyes.
Gu Qiuyu withdrew his gaze indifferently and continued to look around at the diners in the inn.
At this time, the broken sword student beside him secretly pulled Gu Qiuyu's arm, and motioned him to look at a corner of the inn, only to see three strangely dressed people sitting in that corner, with bright clothes, collars turned out, wide cuffs, and even more surprising was that these three people had long blonde hair and blue eyes, snow-white skin, and their faces were the same as ordinary people.
"Senior brother, who are these three demons? It can't be the legendary Yaksha, right?" Broken Sword said in a low voice.
Gu Qiuyu said helplessly at him, "This is a person from the Western Wilderness, except for the skin color and hair color, which are different from us, the rest are almost the same." Although he gave an answer to Broken Sword Sheng, this was also the first time Gu Qiuyu had seen an authentic Western Wilderness person, and he was inevitably a little curious in his heart.
"Nonsense, isn't that punishment also a person from the Western Wilderness? "Broken Sword is angry, he has also seen the head of the Xingtian Temple.
"Hmph, who said that Xingwu is a person from the Western Wilderness? Besides, his hair color is yellow?" Xiao Dingtu, who had been drinking tea there, said, glancing at the three people sitting in the corner.
Broken Sword said unconvinced: "Then the master is also as white as snow, and the master is also from the Western Wilderness?"
Hearing the lifting of the bar, Xiao Ding's pair of tiger eyes were round, so frightened that Broken Sword Sheng hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to speak, while Gu Qiuyu continued to observe the three people in the corner.
At this time, the only woman among the three felt Gu Qiuyu's gaze and looked at the latter in disgust.
I saw that the woman was tall and slender, with skin like clotted fat, and wore two large earrings. The main thing is that the golden hair is actually coiled high, giving people a wild feeling.
Gu Qiuyu, who was accustomed to seeing black hair, was also attracted by this golden hair, and continued to look at the girl, and the look on the latter's face became more and more bad.
"When you're out and about, don't look around. Just as the blonde girl was about to change her face, Xiao Ding's voice slowly sounded.
Gu Qiuyu also felt that he was a little out of shape, and smiled apologetically at the woman, but ushered in a big white eye.
At this time, the meals were already ready, sauce beef, roast chicken, braised carp, Sixi meatballs, and a bowl of fresh soup.
Xiao Ding waved his hand to signal for dinner, and the three of them picked up their chopsticks and pointed at the food on the table. Eating in the valley is really light, and there are few people, how can there be such a lively eating.
The noise of the red dust is not said by anyone.
After half a pillar of incense, the three of them swept away the food on the table and leaned comfortably on the chairs.
Gu Qiuyu, who hadn't tasted such food for many years, patted his stomach with satisfaction, and a trace of sleepiness swept over, "This is happiness, after being full of wine and food, the feeling of drowsiness." ”
"I heard that there are a lot of powerful newcomers from the Lingbao Sect's youth meeting this time. ”
"Yes, not only the Lingzhu Country, but also the Shi Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom have young heroes participating, and I also heard that the Qingxuan Sect has also sent people!"
"What?!You mean the Qingxuan faction in Dongzhou? Then it's a big deal, this time the YMCA will be worth watching!"
"Shhh, be quiet, I also heard this news from a friend, he said that half a month ago, he had seen a few people claiming to be Qingxuan come here to inquire about the location of the Lingbao Sect. ”
A few diners came in from outside, sitting at the table next to Gu Qiuyu, talking in a whisper.
Xiao Ding also heard what they were discussing, frowned slightly, and then he shook his head and said to Gu Qiuyu and the others, "Okay, you two go up to rest first, and I'll go out." ”
"Yes, Uncle Shi. The two agreed, and without much thought, they walked to the room on the second floor, and when they went upstairs, Gu Qiuyu looked at the corner of the inn again, and the three people from the Western Wilderness had long since disappeared.
Gu Qiuyu sighed softly, and walked upstairs with a little disappointment on his face.
