Chapter 52: Overnight

When I came to the main hall, the master was already waiting here, an elderly middle-aged man, about forty years old, wearing big wool clothes, with a bit of the elegance of a scholar.

Qi Xuansu glanced at the "yin and yang eyes" without a trace, the master's yang energy was weak, but the three yang lights were still bright, and there was no sign of flickering.

As for Qi Xuansu, his three yang lamps should be like fires, not lamps. No matter how you turn back, it will not be extinguished, and ordinary ghosts dare to rush forward, like moths to a fire.

If it is a martial artist who has gone to the extreme, his blood and vigor are comparable to the ancient desolate beasts, ordinary people can't see anything, but in the eyes of ghosts, it is like the sun, and there is no need to even do anything, just stop there, everything will shine, and the ghosts will be wiped out.

Someone brought a brazier, served hot tea, and a servant helped Qi Xuansu take off his cloak outside.

Without the cloak, the large and small weapons on Qi Xuansu's waist could not be hidden, not to mention the satchel and all kinds of bits and pieces, the fire guns, short swords, and double knives were bright and terrifying.

Qi Xuansu smiled apologetically: "When you are traveling alone, you must not carry a blade, and you will use a good guy, and you will not leave your body." ”

"Care, care." The local host nodded, his tone calm.

The previous dynasty emphasized literature and light on military force, and suppressed military generals with civil ministers, but this dynasty is both civil and military, and military generals can also be born in the prime minister, plus the man in black has always been a good family member in the army, and it is no longer Qiu Ba or a thief in the past, so the status of the martial artist is not low.

Qi Xuansu untied the double knives behind his waist and put them aside, and then sat down on the chair.

The two exchanged a few words.

Qi Xuansu also uses his pseudonym Wei Wugui, but he is no longer Wei Wugui, a man from the rivers and lakes, but Wei Wugui, a man in black, who serves under the account of Qin Wuxi, the general of Loulan, and can be regarded as Qin Wuxi's personal soldier. is the so-called prime minister's concierge seven-grade official, and he doesn't even take some petty officials in his eyes. The eunuchs around the emperor, the soldiers around the general, and the maids around the wife are all typical lowly and powerful, and they dare not be contemptuous when they are idle.

Because of this, the owner of this place did not despise Qi Xuansu because he had no official and no quality.

According to the conversation between the two, Qi Xuansu learned that the Xiang family is indeed a family of scholars for generations, and the deceased old man Xiang once served as the head of the household department and died of illness in office. Today's head of the family, that is, the owner of this place, is named Xiang Rulin, who has a reputation for lifting people, but he failed to be admitted to the Jinshi, because Bo has family resources, so he does not go to be a scholar and a county officer, nor does he go to be Mr. Xixi for the powerful family, so he lives leisurely.

After the two politely exchanged words for a while, Xiang Rulin set up a banquet to entertain Qi Xuansu.

Although it is not a big city, there are not many strange things, but it is very sincere, and the warriors like all kinds of meat, a large amount of fullness, and hot wine. In this snowy weather, it is indeed a first-class enjoyment.

Qi Xuansu did not refuse, and the two pushed the cups on the table to change the lamps, and the atmosphere was warm.

When the wine was half-drunk, Xiang Rulin asked about Qi Xuansu's errand quite vaguely with a little bit of alcohol, after all, the people in black are all in a team, and there are very few people in black who are alone.

Qi Xuansu's ability to come with his mouth open his mouth has obtained Qi Niang's three-point true biography, even Zhang Yuelu can fool the past, not to mention Xiang Rulin, he pretended to be a little drunk, half-truthfully talked about Qin Wuxi's family background, and said that he was ordered by the little county king to meet the old county king this time, and also brought the gift prepared by the little county king for his father.

Xiang Rulin asked a lot more, Qi Xuansu deliberately said halfway, the clouds covered the fog, and the rest let Xiang Rulin make up for it by himself, startled, and very happy.

However, Xiang Rulin also knew that this kind of thing was not easy to ask deeply, so what gifts Qi Xuansu brought, he never mentioned or asked, and then only talked about some customs and customs, or what he had seen and heard in the past.

After the banquet was over, Xiang Ruling let people help Qi Xuansu, who seemed to be half-drunk, to the guest room, and two more servants helped Qi Xuansu with his cloak and double knives. A servant, perhaps curious, secretly drew his sword. Although there was no true qi infusion, the blade had been hidden in the scabbard for a long time, and a hot breath came to his face, which startled the servant and almost threw the knife on the ground.

Qi Xuansu, who was walking in front, turned around: "This is a knife to kill, not a knife to kill pigs and cattle." ”

Although the voice is light, it is very majestic.

"Yes, yes." The servant was frightened, and hurriedly put the sword back into its sheath and held it tightly in his arms.

When he came to the guest room, Qi Xuansu asked people to put his cloak and double knives on the table, while he sat on the bed.

And they brought him hot water to wash his feet.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with Sun Yongfeng and Lingquanzi, a few thousand Taiping money can be a rich man, this day is indeed much better than walking the rivers and lakes.

The servants retired: "If the military master still needs anything, he will inform the villain." ”

"I'm tired." Qi Xuansu nodded, then took off his boots and immersed his feet in hot water.

Although after becoming a congenital person, not only is it not affected by human diseases, but also can be clean and leaky, under normal circumstances, it will not produce sweat, will not lose hair, will not fall off dandruff, etc., and the whole body is not dusty, such as lotus out of the mud and not stained, so it saves frequent change of clothes and bathing, but in the cold weather with hot water scalding feet, it is still a good enjoyment.

However, the weather is too cold, and the hot water cools quickly.

Qi Xuansu lifted his wet foot and stepped on the edge of the footbasin, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Two feet, steady on the footbasin, fine. But if you are unstable in two boats, you will fall.

These two ships, one ship is Daomen, and the other ship is Qingping Society.

Everyone knows one thing, Daomen is a better choice, but I faked my death this time and left, and then I want to return to Daomen, I don't know what year and month it is.

Qi Xuansu sighed: "I would have set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." ”

At this moment, Qi Xuansu suddenly seemed to have some marks on the wall out of the corner of his eye.

Qi Xuansu was no longer half drunk, and as soon as his feet were strong, the water in the basin gushed out.

Then he dried his feet, put on his boots, and went to the wall to take a closer look.

Although the marks were faint, they were still faintly visible, and the color was a little different from the surroundings.

"This is ......" Qi Xuansu found that this piece of wall skin was added later, not the original wall skin.

This is nothing, but Qi Xuansu thought of his previous bad feelings, hesitated, and pressed his finger on this wall, exerting a little force.

The skin of the wall began to fall, revealing the green bricks below.

Qi Xuansu's face suddenly became solemn.

There are many talismans painted on the green bricks. Although Qi Xuansu is not a monk and does not know how to use talismans, but identifying talismans is the basic course of the Vientiane Dao Palace, and Qi Xuansu can still recognize one or two.

Although these talismans are incomplete, the general outline and veins can still be faintly visible, and they seem to be used to exorcise ghosts. That's it, these talismans are not physical talismans drawn on rune paper, but are temporarily painted on the walls with blood, which can be regarded as a means for the priests to face the enemy. Being able to force a monk to draw a talisman with blood full of yang energy shows that the situation has reached a very critical point at that time.

Qi Xuansu took a breath of cool air gently.

Could it be that he really stepped into the tiger's wolf's den?
