Volume 1 The Dragon Goes Out of the North Chapter 5 The Grass Snake Gray Line

The next day, Sikong Yulong and Su Tianxue walked out of the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion and went to the first-class lively commercial street in Xunyang.

Su Tiantian did not go along, and left the city alone, heading south, to the Assassin Mountain Hall, where he was studying. He had already made an appointment with Yulong to go to Xiangyang together, and he was in a hurry, and he set off before dawn. The guards of the city received Su Mantang's order early and opened the partial city gate. When the eldest prince went out of the city, he was still wearing the same white robe as usual, and there were sharp-eyed people among the soldiers, looking at the jade fox mask, it could be seen that it was full of white frost.

The Chamber of Commerce Market, in Xunyang, is notoriously lively, called Ziliang Road. There are good deeds who threaten to be able to compare with God Du Jialing Road, and win the Shangzhou Shili Street, although it is a cowhide dialect, it can also be seen in the tube. Xunyang is located on the border, and there are not only local goods in Qiyang in the market, but also a lot of flowers and toys from the Northern Desert. At present, Ziliang Road, in addition to Xunyang's local maple lanterns and wines, there are also calligraphy and painting scrolls, gold bottles and wine utensils from the inland in the south. Of course, there are also gold and jade artifacts from other places, such as lifelike jade bodhisattvas and golden arhats, soft and gorgeous snow fox furs, precious old ginseng, cistanche, fragrant ghee, and large pieces of beef and mutton......

There are not a few who sell two ways and belong to flying eagles. One place and one folk customs, pass the customs into the north, buy a ripe eagle to lead the way than the Sinan who was not good at that time, it is very reliable, the direction is not bad, not to mention, if there is a sandstorm in the distance, the eagle flies back, and the caravan can also deal with it as soon as possible. In addition, there are also a lot of people who play tricks, snake flute, chest gravel, oil-containing fire...... It's very lively.

Sikong Yulong and Su Tianxue walked all the way, although the crowd was bustling, it was also orderly, and the streets were crowded, but they were not chaotic. It is because the city lord Su Mantang has meritorious service.

Sikong Yulong smiled: "It's still so lively." ”

"That's it. Don't look at who the lord of the city is? Xunyang under Su Mantang is thriving, and Su Tianxue, as a daughter, is of course quite proud, with her chin held high.

Along the way, Su Tianxue fully showed Sikong Yulong her identity as a young lady, spending money like running water, and piling up boxes of thrifty goods in the hands of the subordinates, and then moving back to the mansion by the subordinates, Sikong Yulong was terrified.

Su Tianxue just commanded the payment for a box of moon cakes, clapped her hands, and followed Sikong Yulong, who was walking in front, side by side.

Sikong Yulong said: "It's almost done?" ”

Su Tianxue nodded, wrenched her finger and said: "There are hundreds of maids and maids in the house, strong and strong guards, Xunyang officials, large and small officials, soldiers guarding the city, and the secret pile of the Qilin Tower. This Mid-Autumn Festival, some have passed. ”

Sikong Yulong smiled: "Even if you send it all, there will be more left." You are spending money lavishly, and your father is not distressed at all? ”

Su Tianxue smiled and said, "Since he asked me to help him buy it, then I don't care about killing and burying it?" If he wants to feel distressed, let him feel distressed. ”

Sikong Yulong chuckled softly, "This is not a good idea. ”

Su Tianxue disagreed.

Sikong Yulong stretched out his hand and gently flicked on Su Tianxue's eyebrows, and Su Tianxue puffed out his mouth in protest.

Su Mantang Xunyang is an official, the emperor is far away, and he has accumulated a lot of family business in Xunyang over the years. In the case of intentionally or unintentionally closing one eye in the capital, the Xunyang Chamber of Commerce was built by him. Su Mantang, who is in charge of the economic lifeline of the entire Xunyang, not only built a mansion with carved beams and paintings, but also made the treatment of the guards of the city rise year by year. Not only that, Xunyang, which is getting richer and richer, has also allowed Xiangyang to follow it, and the armament has also undergone several major renovations, which shows that Su Mantang has the means in his belly. And the Su family, which has a solid family background, although the two children are the best among their peers, they have no moderation in spending money and money. Last month, Su Tianxue only played three games of chess with Yulan Lou Lu Weixian, but he threw 30,000 taels, isn't it the best example.

A person's beautiful atmosphere is far from how decent the elders of the family are. The prosperity of the children and grandchildren is much better than the wealth of the family. All Su Mantang is not afraid of how Su Tianxue squanders, with him, the fox father, this family will not decay and decay, Su Tianxue and Su Tiantian's Wen Chengwu are more precious than gold and silver in Su Mantang's eyes.

Sikong Yulong said: "The old master Confucius who taught you etiquette and literature and history also teaches in a private school in the east of the city, and they are all children sent by some small families. Our children in Xunyang are not a few who are hard-working. Wait until the fifteenth, and send your leftover moon cakes, cakes, and lantern sachets together? ”

Su Tianxue agreed.

Sikong Yulong said in his heart, but the premise is that he has to come back alive. Of course, Su Tianxue didn't dare to hear this. Otherwise, this aunt and grandmother would not be verbose, and his ears were calloused.

There is a vendor on Purple Leung Road, which is very eye-catching at the moment. The boss is a capable middle-aged man, and he doesn't know how to shout, but he can't get through in front of the stall. There are all kinds of goods in Xunyang City, and there are not a few kinds of things in Zhongzhou, but this boss set up a stall today, displaying nearly two hundred swords, and the cold light is pressing, which is really a rare scene.

This boss is not small, he is a good guy with a blade. The first knife of the left ring, the obstacle knife, the horizontal knife, the Mo knife, and the nine-ring knife are all fierce and practical; The relatively delicate Pu knife, the mother knife, the cloud head knife, etc. in the right column; At the back of the display are ritual knives, ring knives, service knives, and even a cold and shining kitchen knife; And the horizontal columns in front of them are all famous swords in the world, fourteen! Surprised everyone.

Sikong Yulong and Su Tianxue finally squeezed into the crowd, and when they looked at it, Rao couldn't help but gasp with Su Tianxue's knowledge.

Sikong Yulong squinted at the fourteen swords displayed in front of him, playing with the taste: "Heh, there are a hundred famous swords on the sword list, and there are fourteen of them here at once, bullish!" ”

Pressing the "Shenxia" on his left waist that was not on the list, Sikong Yulong explained to Su Tianxue: "The swords on the list are divided into three grades, forty low-grade swords, forty middle-grade swords, and twenty top-grade swords, of course, this is relative. There are fourteen swords here, eleven of the lower grades, Shansheng, Weisheng, Chiye, and Yuli are the first; The two medium-grade ones, the mocking wind and the oven, are all blades of a hundred battles; The only top-grade is the ninth-ranked 'green calf' that has not been born for nearly 70 years. This stall boss is not simple. ”

Su Tianxue pointed at the jade dragon and said curiously: "How many of your 'gods' are ranked?" ”

Sikong Yulong paused for a moment and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that it will scare you when I say it, and I will be ranked first." ”

Su Tianxue pursed her lips with a look of disbelief.

Sikong Yulong didn't explain much, and was about to step forward and ask about the price of the sword, when two figures suddenly appeared in the crowd. A scruffy middle-aged man, and a young man who is about the same as them. The two asked at the same time: "Boss, how do you sell this 'green calf'?" ”

The stall owner glanced at the two of them and laughed: "The two guest officers are really good-looking, this 'green calf' has not appeared in the world for 70 years, and I never thought that I would meet the owner of the goods as soon as I appeared." ”

The boss paused for a moment, and said, "It's just that there is only one sword, how can the two be divided?" ”

When the young man heard this, he smiled and asked, "Boss, your battle is so big, you don't have anything to say about such a trivial matter?" ”

The boss smiled: "That's the head, but it's true." There are twenty famous soldiers on the top, and when you meet the dragon, this green calf is also a spiritual object that recognizes the master, and the two must be pulled out, and the famous sword recognizes the master, so as to be eligible to buy it. The price, it's easy to say, 10,000 taels and 11, of course, this is the name of the spirit sword. Only this spirit sword is sold cheaply, and a few Weisheng and Chiye here are much more expensive than it. If the two of you weren't taken by this young calf, take a look at these? ”

The young man gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "This method is good, exquisite." Famous swords naturally choose their own masters, if they meet someone who is not ladylike, won't they have to be angry and dusty. ”

Sikong Yulong was happy to see the excitement, ignoring the eyes of Su Tianxue next to him, as if he was not worried about the green calf being bought. Glancing at the boss, Yulong smiled and said, "Listen to your tone from the shopkeeper, twenty famous soldiers have been sold, and more than one has been sold." ”

This time, the boss didn't answer, just laughed a few times.

A circle suddenly appeared in the crowd, freeing up an open space for the two of them.

The boy over there came to try his sword first. Hold the sword, draw the sword - the cow roars!

Good boy!

This cow roar is the sound of the sword, the sound is small but piercing, the sword body is out of the sheath, and the blue light is exposed for a while, and the sword qi is vertical and horizontal.

There was a shout from the crowd, good guy, dare to love this sword calf, and he recognized the Lord as soon as he was born?

Seventy years ago, the famous sword Qingli followed a swordsman named Ye Pusheng to intercept Chao Shi, the leader of the martial arts alliance who had entered Beijing as an official. Facing this "martial arts list" master who bowed down to the imperial court, Ye Pusheng scolded him, saying that he broke the backbone of the Jianghu people with his own hands. The two fought for a day and a night in the suburbs of the capital, and finally Ye Pusheng disappeared, and the young calf disappeared. Now for the first time in seventy years, the young calf has recognized this stinky hairy boy. Whether this young calf is not famous, or this young man has a great background, it is really interesting.

The young man returned his sword to its sheath, and the cow's roar came to an abrupt end. Seeing this, Su Tianxue's eyes were annoyed, since the young calf recognized the master, and others would naturally not tame it when they saw it, wouldn't such a good thing be handed over. This jade dragon really doesn't have a heart, and he doesn't know how to stop it.

The sloppy man saw the young man put away his sword and asked tentatively, "Little doll, can you give me a try?" ”

When the young man heard this, he thought about it, smiled generously, and confidently threw the sword to the other party.

Oh, Spirit Sword and Green Calf, now that you have recognized the Lord, how can you be close to others again?

The sloppy man caught the sword, sandwiched it between his legs, took two mouthfuls of his hands, rubbed his hands, and then solemnly picked up the sword. Draw the sword - do not move the slightest, and then pull it out - the bird is useless.

The crowd around erupted in hearty laughter, and a voice in the crowd joked: "Brother, it seems that you have a fate with this sword." ”

The man also smiled and arched his hand towards the other party, looking embarrassed. Glancing at the sky and rolling his eyes, the man seemed to be thinking, and after a moment he whispered: "Offended." ”

The man hooked his fingers with both hands and took a deep breath. In full view of everyone, he grabbed the hilt of the green calf's scabbard and pressed it to both ends, exposing the green tendons of his arms. The ninth on the sword list, among the twenty famous swords in the world, the most stubborn young calf was forcibly pulled out of the scabbard inch by inch at this time.

The sound of the cow roared straight into the sky, but it couldn't stop itself from unsheathing. Seeing that the man pulled out the last inch of the tip of the sword, threw the scabbard, and plunged the green calf into the soil in front of him, the whole one was submerged. The man pressed his foot against the hilt of the sword and let out a sigh, "It's really tough." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, they had never seen such a domineering master. This man forcibly drew his sword with one hand, what is the difference between him and the Oiran who was forced into our Jade Immortal Tower. At this moment, the crowd cheered.

In the midst of the noise, only the young man who had been recognized by the young calf was in a daze. finally came to his senses, and saw that the young calf was held against one foot and could not break the ground, and the sword body trembled, and he was anxious at the moment.

"Old man, how can you draw a sword like this, it can't be regarded as a young calf recognizing the master, isn't it?"

The man said without a scoundrel: "This sword is drawn, isn't it the spirit sword to recognize the master?" Have you ever disagreed with me when you saw the young calf? ”

Nonsense! This young calf was pressed by your kick, and he couldn't resist if he wanted to.

The man turned his head and asked the boss: "Boss, do you have a rule here that drawing a sword is not considered a master?" ”

When the boss heard this, he glanced at the young man and said, "There is really no such rule." ”

I've never seen such a shameless martial artist before. The boss glanced at the man and muttered in his heart.

This man, with a pair of iron hands, can pull out a spiritual sword, a third-order nine-rank martial arts, and it is estimated that he is no less than a third-rank high-ranking cowman. Real people can't be disguised, and that's a good point.

The man scratched his head, thought about it, sighed, and said apologetically: "Doll, I also know that twisted melons are not sweet." But now I really need this sword. Or if you suffer a loss, this sword will be given to me? ”

The young man took out a stack of silver tickets, slapped them on the boss's table, and said in a deep voice, "Give me back the calf." ”

The sloppy man said helplessly: "You doll is so ignorant." Begging? ”

The boy reached out to grab the sword.

Seeing this, the man pulled the green calf out of the soil, pulled his legs and ran, laughing as he ran: "Doll, you have this 10,000 taels of silver tickets first, and grandpa won't bother to beat you." But I have to take this green calf with me, eat grandpa's fart, haha. ”

When the young man saw the man running away so shamelessly, he was anxious. Fortunately, the young calf's sword body kept trembling, and the sword roared constantly. The boy followed the sound of the sword and chased after him. The crowd made a way out of the way, for fear of provoking these two people, a crazy old man and a young man who didn't want to die.

Sikong Yulong squinted at the two of them in the distance, and suddenly a skinny old yellow dog jumped into the road where everyone had dispersed, and chased after the two of them.

The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient.
