Volume 1 Holding the Sword Chapter 10 The Charm of That Eye
From the time Daozong left until now, Chen Bugui has been running around day and night for ten days, but the distance from Jianling is less than half, which also makes Chen Bugui complain again and again.
Although the Divine Talisman given by Jiang Qi greatly improved the progress, but in the past few days, Chen Bugui found that this thing was extremely consuming of starlight, and almost every time he used it, he had to spend most of the day storing starlight.
Relying on the silver taels given by Jiang Qi, the young man rented a carriage in a small town, and after all, he was replaced by a carriage, and the young man was relieved.
The carriage moved smoothly on the wide official road, and the driver of the carriage was a white-headed old man, and the young man in the carriage was lying on his side with Erlang's legs crossed leisurely, holding the map in his hand and looking left and right.
This map is marked in great detail, stretching from Pizhou, where the Daozong is located, to Hengzhou, where Jianling is located, and the large and small states and counties that you have to pass through on the way are marked.
"Akibara-gun ......"
Looking at the three eye-catching characters on the map, Chen Bugui asked in a voice outside the carriage: "Old man, how far are we from Qiuyuan County now?!"
"It's there before sunset." The old man's hoarse voice came from outside the car.
"Then please trouble the old man to put me down in Akibara County."
The boy thought that it was not too late to arrive before sunset, and he had not eaten anything good due to the bumps along the way, and he had really missed the food in the Taoist sect for the past few days, and now he was quite rich, and it was not too much to think that he would stay in Akibara County for a day or two to have a good time eating and drinking.
After this plan, the boy was in a good mood, and after putting the map away, he slowly closed his eyes with his hands behind his head.
…………
The Tang State sits on the thirteen states of the world, and between each state, a county will be set up as a checkpoint to enter this state, and Qiuyuan County is a symbol of the division of Pizhou and Hengzhou.
When it comes to Hengzhou, the most famous is the second.
One is the porcelain of Hengzhou.
The second is the way of the sword in Hengzhou.
The porcelain of Hengzhou is quite famous in the thirteen states, and now it has become the official kiln that pays tribute to the imperial court every year, and the porcelain produced in Hengzhou alone occupies half of the entire Tang Dynasty every year.
In addition to the porcelain is very prestigious, Hengzhou's sword is also the leader in the whole world's monks, and there are forty percent of the world's sword cultivation, all of which are from Hengzhou.
Not for anything else, just because there were two people in Hengzhou.
One is the negative sword mountain Liu Wufeng.
One is Jianling Zhao Xuan.
The former is revered as the god of swords, while the latter is considered to be a murderer.
The style of the two of them is the same, the rules and constraints never apply to the two, they rely on the sword in their hands, the people of their generation can't hold their heads up, and they also raise the reputation of Negative Sword Mountain and Sword Ridge.
It's a pity that Jianling has become the target of public criticism.
……
As the sun set, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into the gates of Akibara-gun.
After the old man who was driving the carriage paid the duties and parked the carriage, he lifted the curtain and said to the young man on the seat who closed his eyes and recuperated, "Little friend, Akihara County has arrived." ”
After a few moments, the boy opened his eyes from the confusion.
After settling down, Chen Bugui glanced at the bustling crowd outside the curtain, picked up the soul-guarding sword wrapped in white cloth beside him, thanked the old man, and got out of the carriage.
The hot wind blew on his face, and the boy stretched out comfortably, and then began to look at the surrounding environment.
The bluestone-paved streets are lined with shops, and the twilight of the sunset shines on the cornices of the pavilions.
The streets were full of cars and horses, and the penetrating shouts of the vendors could be heard not far away, and occasionally the neighing of horses.
"There's really no comparison to Izumo Town." The young man looked at the lively scene in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Although it is the end of the year, it does not affect the bustle and hustle and bustle of the city at all.
"Find a place to rest and have a good meal."
After a day's journey, coupled with the fact that he only ate some dry food on the road, the young man felt a little powerless for no reason, and after secretly making plans, Chen Bugui took a step forward and blended into the crowd.
As the endless stream of people moved, the young man looked at everything around him curiously, which was full of freshness for Chen Bugui, who was going out for the first time.
In the more than ten years he has lived in Izumo Town, the best thing for the boy to eat is the roast chicken made by Aunt Li, but here, the dazzling food makes the boy a little overwhelmed.
After all, he couldn't bear the feeling of hunger in his belly, so the young man bought a beef patty at a stall and began to nibble on it.
The young man was eating the food in his hand, while humming an unknown song leisurely, after such a long journey, now there is a rare opportunity to relax, Chen Bugui naturally does not want to miss any trace.
But the good times didn't last long, and the boy's mood to calm down and feel the atmosphere was shattered by the commotion in front of him.
"Jingle Bell ......"
Immediately, a crisp sound resounded in the noisy market, which seemed particularly abrupt and clear.
Chen Bugui stopped and looked for prestige.
I saw that the dense crowd in front of me was slowly peeled off a road, and then a panicked figure was reflected in the young man's eyelids.
It was an extremely good-looking girl.
A pear blossom skirt outlines the girl's delicate body, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, the face is like a peach blossom, and the white bell on the waist makes a clear sound with the girl's running, and the green silk is left high.
Although it was the first time he saw it, the boy couldn't help but lose his mind.
"Let one go, let one let ......"
The girl urged the crowd in front of her to give way, and looked back at the back, as if she was hiding from something.
The boy stopped and lost his mind, and the girl looked back, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.
"Bang!"
A low crashing sound sounded, and the girl and Chen Bugui collided.
"Ahh
A burst of impact and screams of pain pulled the young man's thoughts back, and Chen Bugui looked at the girl who was sitting in front of him covering her forehead, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
"No......... I'm sorry girl, I didn't mean to. Chen Bugui wanted to step forward to help the girl on the ground, but was persuaded by the girl's fierce eyes.
"You're deaf, I didn't hear me tell you to let go." The girl rubbed her reddish forehead with one hand, a trace of anger appeared in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth at Chen Bugui.
Chen Bugui knew that he was at a loss, and now he was reprimanded by the girl in front of him and didn't dare to say anything, but he just apologized to the girl.
"It was really my fault that caused the girl to be in this situation just now, if the girl thinks there is anything wrong, I hope to tell you."
The girl on the ground looked at the white and delicate restrained young man in front of her, and couldn't help but start looking up and down.
"Do you have any money?!"
The girl stood up, patted the clothes behind her with her hand, and questioned Chen Bugui.
"Ah......h
"Ahh The girl looked at the stunned boy and asked again.
"Yes, yes, I have."
Chen Bugui hurriedly nodded to indicate that he had money, and then took out the bag of coils that Jiang Qi gave him under the gaze of the girl.
"Girl, do you see how much compensation you need...... Chen Bugui asked tentatively.
Chen Bugui couldn't figure out the thoughts of the girl in front of him at this moment, looking at her dress, she didn't look like a young person, recalling the previous girl's panicked appearance, maybe she encountered any difficulties.
"I don't want your compensation." The girl looked at the money bag in Chen Bugui's hand, and the expression on her face finally relaxed, "Now this girl has encountered a little tricky matter, as long as you solve this matter of me, then I won't pursue the matter of you knocking me down just now, what do you think?!" ”
"I don't know what happened to the girl, can you tell me about it?!"
Although Chen Bugui is new to the world, he is not stupid, if the girl in front of him encounters something beyond his ability, then he can't be stupid and let her slaughter, so he must understand clearly before making a decision.
"Stinky girl, don't run, if you don't settle the account today, don't want to get out of this Qiuyuan County!"
A raging roar came from the crowd behind.
When the girl heard the sound, a touch of helplessness appeared on her cheeks, and she immediately walked to the young man's side by side with him, and then said with a smile forward, "Well, something is coming." ”
Chen Bugui's gaze moved forward, and he saw three big men with big shoulders and round waists and angry eyes rushing towards him from the bustling crowd.
The tall man at the head was wielding a kitchen knife in his hand, looking at this menacing posture, Chen Bugui couldn't help but be a little curious about what the girl next to him was causing trouble.
"Stinky girl, you can run, you keep running!"
The three men stopped in front of the boy and girl, and the rich man with a full face pointed a knife at the girl beside Chen Bugui and said viciously.
The girl turned a deaf ear to the man's words, and just fiddled with the bell around her waist.
The man looked at the girl with a leisurely and leisurely look of nonchalance, and suddenly said angrily, "Xiao Nizi, don't think that Lao Tzu can't do anything about you, I'm going to leave the words here today, if you don't settle the account, I want you to not be able to get out of this Qiuyuan County!" ”
The man's voice fell, and he gave the two strong men beside him a look, and then the two rolled up their sleeves and prepared to start.
"This big brother, if you have something to say, how much does this girl owe you, I will give it." Chen Bugui watched the movements of the three people, hurriedly walked to the girl and blocked her behind him, and smiled at the three men.
Although he was now a cultivator, he could completely stop the three people in front of him, but the sense of responsibility in the young man's heart did not allow him to do so.
After making up his mind to follow Zhao Xuan's cultivation, the boy's original intention was never to bully people weaker than himself in order to make himself stronger, but to protect what he wanted to protect. Therefore, it is better to have more than one thing, and it is naturally better to be able to use money to eliminate disasters.
The man with the knife with a meaty face heard the young man's words, and looked at Chen Bugui with a strange look in his eyes.
Looking at the coarse linen boy in front of him with an embarrassed look, the man said disdainfully: "Where did you come out of the wild boy, and you want to be a hero for this girl?!" You're rich! ”
Chen Bugui's disdain for the man just smiled and didn't speak, then took out the money bag and threw it at the man.
The man who was still disdainful and impatient immediately smiled at the young man when he heard the sound in the money bag in Chen Bugui's hand: "Haha, I didn't recognize Childe just now, and I hope that Childe will not be so careless as such a rough person."
Chen Bugui looked at the man who was arrogant just now, and now immediately put on a flattering appearance, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
Sure enough, in this secular world, money is king.
