Volume 1 The Caged Sparrow Chapter 12 The Alley
The girl in black walked into the depths of the alley, occasionally someone would hang out a festive red lantern, compared to others, the hooded girl did not have the elaborate foreshadowing of the family, there was no grass snake gray line stretching for thousands of miles, she was just alone, breaking into the town.
Not far from the alley, there is a young man in brocade clothes, his hands are holding a cyan jade seal high, the size of a child's palm, carved with a dragon and a tiger, under the illumination of the sun, shining, there is a faint wisp of light in the jade seal. The brocade-clothed young man raised his head and squinted at the treasure in his hand, his face full of intoxication.
Beside him, a tall old man fell to his knees on one knee and was carefully wiping the dirt from the boy's boot with his cuff.
The corner of the brocade boy's eyes actually found a strange girl early, wearing a shallow style of drapery, wearing a green sheath knife, and her steps were steady, it was obvious that she would never be a native of the town.
It's just that the young man in brocade didn't care, he still carefully looked at the ancient jade seal that had been silent for thousands of years, and deep down, he even hoped that the girl would have the idea of taking the treasure, otherwise it would be too boring.
Anyway, he has already obtained two things, and the harvest is far more than expected, if he doesn't find something to do, he can only leave with the old slave, for this young man, he will feel that something is missing.
It's like he was in the house thousands of miles away from the town, wearing a golden nine python robe, but unfortunately, he was always missing a claw.
When you come to this town, each selected person can carry three tokens, which are put into a brocade embroidery bag, and a bag is given to the gatekeeper before, which belongs to the toll that must be paid out, no matter how high or low the gatekeeper's status is, no matter how dilapidated the city gate is, even if it is a monarch of a country or an ancestor who comes here, he must honestly follow this rule. The other two embroidered bags mean that at most two treasures can be taken out of the town here, otherwise you will have to return them one by one if you find ten or a hundred treasures here. The tokens in the bag are three kinds of special copper coins, which are the winning money used by the people in the market to celebrate the upper beam, the spring money that the palace hangs on the peach charm every year, and the offering money that is held in the palm of the palm by the statue of the city god, which is said to be a copper coin, and its texture is a rare and abnormal gold essence.
The young man in brocade has studied all the way to three copper coins that are not recorded in the official history, but he can't figure out any way.
Ahead, the girl who exuded a cold aura all over her body walked straight forward, ignoring the master and servant of the alley as if they were nothing.
The brocade-clothed boy temporarily changed his mind, put away the jade seal, put it into a cloth bag that had been prepared a long time ago, and tied it around his waist, but he still stood in the middle of the alley, with no intention of giving way.
The tall, fair-skinned old man also stood up, his voice was soft, and he said softly: "Your Highness, this person is a practitioner who has entered the house, and he should not be taken lightly. If you're outside the town, you don't have to worry about it. But here, even our family's pure martial arts physique is also subjected to the suppression of this world all the time, which is extremely uncomfortable. Once the breath is fully operated and the acupoints are opened, it will be like a river and sea pouring back, and the meridians and acupoints will flood and be out of control. If there is a slight mistake in His Royal Highness's great cause of cultivating the Tao due to our family's poor care, how will our family explain to His Majesty and Niangniang after we go back?"
The brocade-clothed young man said: "Grandpa Wu, after you left the palace, you talked a lot. In the past, in the palace, you just tossed and turned those few words all year round, which was worse than the stupid parrot that my sister raised. ”
The old man calls himself "our family", and he is groveling in his bones everywhere, especially in his heart, he is proud of it, and he can only be a loyal eunuch in the palace.
He saw that the little master didn't seem to understand the meaning of his words, so he had to say more bluntly: "Your Highness, this person in Xiaoxiang is here, and it is already possible to pose a threat to His Highness. ”
The brocade-clothed young man smiled lazily and said: "Although I have long heard that on the path of cultivation, there are three sects and nine streams of fish and dragons, many evil sects and crooked ways, and more side doors, but I and her are just a meeting in the water, and she is going to see the intention of making money, killing people and seizing treasures? It is unlikely, right? If everyone on the 'mountain' is like this, wouldn't the world have been in chaos a long time ago?"
The old man sighed, the Yamashita Dynasty and the Yamashita Immortal Family, the two sides looked like each other, but they were actually looking at each other and hating each other.
The young man in brocade was a little disheartened, "Forget it, forget it, count this bad debt on a girl's head, it's not a big husband's doing." ”
The girl walked up to him and pressed the hilt of the knife with her left hand.
The brocade-clothed boy smiled, turned sideways, and motioned for the girl to go first.
The girl in black also slowed down slightly, turned sideways slightly, and her eyes behind the hat were full of vigilance.
When the old eunuch found the girl's injured hands bandaged with cotton cloth, he couldn't help frowning.
"Presumptuous!"
Suddenly, the old man shouted angrily, like a spring thunder on his tongue, his feet seemed to slip, and the tall figure came to the young man in brocade, and the old man leaned lightly on his back, and pushed the young man against the alley wall with skill, and at the same time spread his five fingers with his left hand.
There was a dull thud in the palm of his hand.
It turned out that someone used a stone as a hidden weapon and smashed it into the side of the young man's head.
The momentum is staggering, almost enough to pierce a wall.
The old man slammed the fist-sized stone in his palm, but instead of killing the assassin, he threw his right hand at the girl in black.
The girl with the hanging knife hesitated slightly, forcibly suppressed the instinct to pull the knife out of the sheath, and tilted her head instead, just to dodge the powerful and fierce punch.
The fierceness of the fist wind instantly blew up the girl's hat and tulle.
The tall old man turned his straight fist into a sweep, and his fist smashed right into the girl's head.
The fist is round and wishful, and there is no condensation.
The girl had to quickly raise her arms, and folded the backs of her hands together, protecting them from her ears, showing a criss-cross defensive posture, blocking the front of her fist.
The next moment, the girl slid out more than ten steps on her side.
The girl exhaled a breath of turbidity gently, stretched out the hand whose palm was soaked more with blood seeping through the cotton cloth, and straightened the somewhat crooked hood on her head.
She was a little angry.
The girl turned around, looked at the tall old man who looked left and right, and said, "If it weren't for me, I would already be a dead man." ”
The old man turned a deaf ear, but compared to before, this old eunuch, who was experienced in assassination and sneak attacks, had reduced the danger of the girl to second place, and the first place gave way to the person who shot on the other side of the alley.
Of course, in addition to the master and servant, there are only two real outsiders in the alley.
On the other side of the alley, there was a tall, thin masked man.
But the arms are extremely thick, and the bulging muscles are like iron balls.
He had two bags hanging from his waist, filled with round objects.
He just stood where he was, as if to say that the previous sneak attack was actually just a reminder.
The cold gaze swept over the girl.
The man grinned, stuck out his tongue, and his eyes were hot.
The girl smiled and said two words.
"Come back!"
As soon as the words fell.
A sword over the head.
The flying sword came to the girl's side and spun around her rapidly, like a child.
She said angrily: "Get out!"
The flying sword flashed away.
The master and servant were stunned.
The old eunuch was not shocked by the flying sword technique itself.
It's a heartfelt fear that the girl will be able to control the flying sword at will here.
This feeling made the old man in a trance, as if he had returned to his youth, entering the palace for the first time, trembling, and one day looking at the senior wearing a big red python suit and walking under the palace wall.
Of course, it was not in awe of the eunuch himself, who didn't even know his name, but in fear of the dazzling scarlet.
After the brocade-clothed boy came back to his senses, he smiled, full of self-deprecation, took a step forward, and asked with concern, "Grandpa Wu, are you okay?"
The white-haired old eunuch's face was heavy, and he shook his head and said, "It's better to be careful." If it really doesn't work, our family will ......"
The young man hurriedly waved his hand and asked, "Why don't we apologize?"
The old man was caught off guard, and then grieved and blamed himself.
The Lord humiliated his ministers to death.
Especially the emperor's family!
But the young man in brocade had already smiled and said: "Grandpa Wu, you did something wrong, say sorry, what's so difficult." ”
The old man still felt that this move was inappropriate, and the young man in brocade had already walked towards the girl.
In an instant, the old man had mixed feelings.
It turned out that there was not a trace of mud on the boy's back.
