Chapter Forty-Six: A Brief Discussion on the Western Regions
Xiaohua was furious, "Fledgling little bald donkey, I think you have provoked the wrong person!"
The ghost knife crushed the wine saucer, and the soul chasing sword burst out, and the sound of this terrifying weapon shaking in the black cloth made the guards' hearts tremble. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xiaohua said, "You, you are such a person! You robber, you demon!"
The ghost knife said, "Then what are you?"
Xiaohua said: "It's a full 300,000 taels, ordinary people can't spend all the big fish and meat in a lifetime, you think clearly!"
"If I kill all of you, you can get the same money. ā
The ghost knife's tone was cold, and the blade was even colder, and even through the heavy black cloth, she could feel the ferocious killing intent! Xiaohua dripped, and he smiled and said, "Okay, count you ruthless, say what you want!"
Sixteen gently put down the teacup, "The matter of the Gu people has indeed been settled, I just hope that the donor will reform himself, and not be entangled in vain." ā
"Take the money. Xiaohua was still stunned after speaking, and Xiaohua roared angrily: "Take the money! Are you deaf?"
The heavy 300,000 taels fell to the ground, and the ghost knife was not in a hurry to lift it, she opened the black on the side of the blade, and said coldly in Xiaohua's ear: "Do you really plan to let us go?"
Xiaohua hesitated.
"I'll count three, one, two...... Three!" At the moment when the ghost knife just shouted three, Xiaohua hurriedly said: "Release, release!"
A flash of cold light!
If it hadn't been for Sixteen to resist in time, I'm afraid that the knife would have cut off Xiaohua's head. Xiaohua fell suddenly, touching the blood on the side of her neck, and was shocked.
"He said he would let us go. ā
"But I also counted to three. ā
Sixteen looked at the ghost knife, but the ghost knife still checked the silver taels, and walked out of the county government with the money. She divided 200,000 taels out, "Bring this money to them, you take 100,000 taels." Don't think about it, that little girl helped me, I promised to give her money, and you ...... too," she said, feeling that she was getting darker and darker.
Sixteen smiled meaningfully, "Since it's a promise, there's no way to do it." The poor monk was willing to guarantee his life and deliver the silver taels. ā
Ghost Knife bought a fast horse from a nearby post station, and she saw Sixteen walking towards the hotel step by step, this guy really planned to use it all as An Sheng's medicinal materials without spending a penny. "Ride!" she rode forward, her hand on Sixteen's shoulder, "You come up for me!"
The two of them galloped away, kicking up snow and dust all over the ground.
White and crystal snowflakes fell from the night sky, sometimes intoxicated, sometimes dancing, making the fast horse even smaller...... It is really "a thousand miles of stratus clouds, a thousand mountains and twilight snow, only a shadow to whom".
It was cold at night.
The sky was changing with a touch of bright moon, but the sky was getting darker and darker, and the dim moonlight was falling from the clouds, and the ghost knife was in front of the hotel. Sixteen lifted his robe and walked towards the hotel step by step, when the ghost knife suddenly stopped him.
She didn't know why she was doing it.
Maybe it's because she shouts like this, and she can see Sixteen's eyes again.
Sixteen turned around, "Ghost Knife Girl, what's the matter?"
Ghost Knife's face was very red, probably due to the cold, and she said, "I'll give you a ride, and I must pay you some money." ā
Sixteen: "I don't have a penny on me, can I get credit?"
The ghost knife said, "The people who paid me credit are dead." ā
Sixteen said, "What then?"
"You can pay with other methods. As he said this, the flush on Ghost Knife's cheeks seemed to spread. She continued, "You're going to let me touch it." ā
Sixteen said nervously, "Where are you going to touch?"
Ghost Knife stuttered a little, "I, I..... You ......" she calmed herself down for a moment and simply shouted: "Let me touch your bald head!"
Sixteen: "Okay, but only touch it." ā
Ghost Knife gasped, it was her lifelong dream, to touch the sleek, cute bald head...... Her hand reached slowly, only an inch away from his head.......
"Squeak. The door opened, and the hand of the ghost knife flicked back like lightning. saw An Nan poking his head out, "Oh, it's cold, you're finally back, we've waited for the flowers....... Hey, what are you running away?" An Nan saw the ghost knife riding away, almost fleeing like a refugee, and was really puzzled, so he asked Sixteen, "Why did she leave in such a hurry?"
Sixteen said, "Secret." How's it going?"
Annan said, "You see the five carriages on the street in front, right? I told them to wait outside, and the rest of the money will be paid when it arrives at its destination." There were a total of twenty-seven injured women, three of us, thirty people and six in each car, and it was no problem to squeeze it. ā
Sixteen took out the silver entrusted by the ghost knife, An Nan's eyes lit up, and she threw herself in the silver, regardless of the cold. She hugged Sixteen and laughed, even though the wind and snow had frozen her lips and teeth purple. Sixteen said: "Don't thank me, she gave the 200,000 taels, and she called it the ghost knife." Also, men and women do not kiss each other......"
An Nan instead strangled Sixteen tighter, she said: "Although the Han and Miao clans have constant grievances, I think you are a good person, and I am not stupid, you must have given me your own remuneration." I really need this money, but it hasn't reached this point yet, please accept at least 50,000 taels, otherwise our two sisters will not go, so we have to promise each other. ā
Sixteen: "That's not good, I promise you that's it." ā
An Nan took Sixteen's hand and walked into the house, she said, "It will take some time for An Sheng to recover, so let's wait first." ā
Sixteen gently took her hand, "Then I won't go in." ā
"Why? It's so cold outside, it's frostbitten. ā
Sixteen: "I still have something to do." ā
"Then I won't bother you. Sixteen said, "Will you give me some money first?"
"Okay!" An Nan simply spent all the fifty thousand taels, although sixteen didn't need so much, but it also saved trouble, and said: "We have been to the county government, that Ouyang Xiaohua is domineering, it is difficult to keep it difficult, if I can't come back within an hour, please take them away." ā
An Nan nodded firmly, and Sixteen turned to leave.
yes, how can it be so cold?
Jing'er's barrier is much weaker, the previous moth demon battle, coupled with the serious injury of forcibly crossing the phosphorus powder, Jing'er is all strong. All the way, he was thinking about how to heal Jing'er, because of Jing'er's speciality. She is a thousand-year-old mirror demon, and she belongs to water, because she cultivates a partial spell such as Vientiane Dafa, and she has no recovery ability. Even low-level monsters such as corpse jackals and seductive girls have powerful spells such as self-healing and even flesh casting, and there is no shortage of such spells for the strong people like green-skinned giant eels, who can recover their bodies as long as they have something to eat. But the mirror is different, she has a golden body, the treasure mirror that gave her the opportunity to turn into a demon, an ancient and exquisite bronze mirror. So Sixteen wondered if casting Jing'er's golden body would help her recover? at least it was worth a try, it was better than Jing'er struggling to support it.
Jing'er probably thought that Sixteen hadn't noticed anything unusual, and she didn't want Sixteen to find anything unusual, so she kept using her mana to support the barrier. Even though the barrier was barely working, she was still struggling to hold on, and Sixteen didn't interrupt her, knowing this. Jing'er is here to repay her kindness, if she can be satisfied, she will have the opportunity to step into the ghost city of Xudu in the next life. Many times, but the long-cherished wish of others is the great good.
He called the carriage that had stopped in front of the street and hurried to the best blacksmith shop in the county.
The carriage was very shabby, and Sixteen whispered, "Come out, Jing'er, it's warmer here." ā
"Yes. After a big battle, Jing'er's face was bloodless, and Sixteen said, "I don't know what kind of material the golden body of the treasure mirror you encountered when you were drifting on the sea." ā
"Sixteen doesn't know?"
Sixteen shook his head, "Jing'er is more than nine hundred years older than me, don't you know?"
Jing'er was a little shy, she was indeed more than 900 years older than Sixteen, she said: "I have also exhausted all kinds of methods in the past thousand years, studying no less than hundreds of thousands of books, trying to find out the true identity of that treasure mirror, but only found some subtle clues. This mirror is from the Western Regions, you look at the fine workmanship and the sphinx pattern...... "She said and pointed out the golden body, it was indeed a ingenious thing, although it was a little old, but it was also a compelling wealth. Six small holes and a few dents were added to it, causing Jing'er to be seriously injured. Sixteen was more looking at the material of this treasure frame, because the holes were concentrated in the frame, which looked like it was made of gold.
Sixteen said, "Can I touch it?"
Jing'er hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, but, but don't push too hard." ā
Sixteen picked up the treasure mirror, and it was very heavy, but it was not made of gold, otherwise it would be even heavier. It should be gold-plated on the surface, and from the small hole that has been pierced, there is a layer of brass underneath. The purity of brass is very high, it should be more expensive than gold, I don't know if there is a blacksmith shop in Nan County. He originally wanted to poke it and see the material, but when he thought that this was Jing'er's golden body, Jing'er was a well-informed girl, and he always felt ashamed of the Buddha when he did this, so he gently handed the treasure mirror back to Jing'er.
Sixteen said: "O Western Regions, if you want to come there, the yellow sand is long, and many places are dusty, but there are also many heroes and wonderful handicrafts. ā
Jing'er said: "Yes, although the Western Regions are full of yellow sand, the mineral deposits are developed, and many valuable raw materials are imported from there and transported into the Central Plains through Yumen Pass. The people of the Western Regions like to wrap it tightly, they are good at making swords, and there are soft iron swords forged from soft iron ore, which makes the swordsmen of the Western Regions famous. ā
Sixteen said, "In that case, who is the number one swordsman in the Western Regions?"
Jing'er said, "A dog." ā
Sixteen was a little surprised, "Amitabha, dogs can also make swords, it seems that I really have too little knowledge." ā
Jing'er said: "Sixteen, you misunderstood, the surname of the people in the Western Regions is Yi, and his name is Yi Zhengou. ā
From the dilapidated of the carriage, Sixteen couldn't help but look at the distant Western Regions, if there was no miscalculation, it should be the direction of Yumen Pass. You don't see thousands of horsemen passing by, there are peerless powerhouses who open up territory in the Western Regions, and there are also literati and scholars who play the Qiang flute solo on the high river. Yumen Pass, a place full of desolation and hope. If there is no confinement in the human world, Sixteen will definitely go to the Western Regions to see.
The carriage was crowded through the snow, and the groom had to shout at his throat to hear it, and he shouted, "Guest, the blacksmith shop has arrived!"
