Chapter 6: The Hand of the Ghost
The two of them went shopping for more than an hour before returning to the inn, and Yue Luoying followed behind Fan Xiang with a large bag of things. With a satisfied smile on her face, Fan Xiang jumped back to the room, happily playing with the things she had just bought. Yue Luoying put the package on the ground, took a long breath, and thought to herself: I didn't expect shopping to be such a tiring thing, and I won't go again if I am killed in the future. Thinking like this, he glanced at Fan Xiang and saw that Fan Xiang was playing with the things in her hand intently, and he could see that she was having a good time today. Looking at her smile, Yue Luoying thought to herself: Forget it, let's count it to the penultimate time......
Yue Luoying walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and suddenly found a note taped to the head of the bed. He took the note, which read: The sword is mine, the ghost hand. Yueluoying was stunned for a moment, only to find that her cold sword was gone. "Ghost Hand!" Moonfall exclaimed. Fan Xiang asked, "What ghost shadow hand?" Yue Luoying handed the note to Fan Xiang and said: "The ghost shadow hand is a thief on the rivers and lakes, his way of stealing things is very special, his actions come and go without a trace, and his skills are excellent, so he is known as the ghost shadow hand." Fan Xiang read the note and said in surprise: "He stole your cold sword!" Yue Luoying nodded and said, "I didn't expect the ghost shadow hand to be in this small Feihong town." Damn, I didn't expect such a troublesome thing to happen. Fan Xiang said: "Let's go, let's go to him and get your sword back!" Yue Luoying sighed and said, "I just said that the ghost shadow hand comes and goes without a trace, how easy is it to find him?" Fan Xiang said anxiously: "Then what about your sword!" Yue Luoying thought for a while and said, "Don't worry." Although the ghost hand is secretive, it doesn't mean that he can't be found. Xiang'er, you wait for me in the room, and I'll come when I go. ”
Fan Xiang saw that Yue Luoying was going out, so she stretched out her hand and grabbed him and said, "I'll go with you." Yue Luoying said: "Xiang'er, the place I'm going to is very dangerous, and I'm afraid I won't have time to protect you if you go." Listen to me and wait for me in the room. Fan Xiang shook his head and said, "I know I can't help, but I'm not willing to wait here stupidly." Let me go, I promise not to mess with you. Yue Luoying sighed helplessly and said, "Okay then, but you have to listen to me." Seeing that Yue Luoying agreed, Fan Xiang nodded happily, put down the things in her hand and went out with Yue Luoying.
Yue Luoying took Fan Xiang to the dock at the west entrance of the town. It was late at night, and there was no one on the dock, and a few small boats were parked on the calm water. Yue Luoying looked nearby and whispered to Fan Xiang: "Wait a minute, don't make a sound, look at my eyes." Fan Xiang nodded and followed behind Yue Luoying.
"Ghost Hand, I know you're here. A manly man, one person does things and one person does it, and he doesn't show up yet. Yueluoying shouted at the boat on the water. There was silence all around, and no one answered Yueluoying. Fan Xiang thought to herself: Since this ghost hand has come and gone without a trace, how does Luo Ying know that he is here?
At this moment, a person appeared on the bow of the ship, and the man laughed and said, "The ghost sword is the ghost sword, and only you can guess that I am hiding here." After saying that, the man jumped in the air, tapped a few steps on his toes in mid-air, and landed in front of Yue Luoying in a blink of an eye. Fan Xiang saw it in his eyes, and said in his heart: "What a powerful light skill!" Yue Luoying said: "If it weren't for the fact that I heard that there is a dock here today, I really couldn't find you." You stole my sword, and if you want to avoid the eyes, you can only come to this kind of place where there are few people. Ghost Hand, what are you doing stealing my sword so decently?"
The Ghost Hand said, "How could I have done this if I hadn't asked you for something?, and it was a great pleasure to steal his saber from the hands of the Ghost Sword. As he spoke, the ghost hand reached out from behind him and took out a sword, what was it if it wasn't a cold sword?
At this time, Fan Xiang saw clearly that this ghost hand was short in stature and looked like a child, but he was quite old when he heard the voice. I only heard the ghost hand say, "Ghost Sword, I want to ask you to do me a favor this time." Yue Luoying said curiously: "What else is difficult for your ghost shadow hand?" The ghost shadow hand scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I won't tell you, I caused some trouble." I don't know if you've heard of the jade copper needle?" Yue Luoying replied, "That's the unique secret weapon of the Ten Thousand Caves. Huh, you won't even steal the jade and copper needle, right?" The ghost shadow hand said: "Others don't know me, don't you know me? What did I do with stealing other people's unique weapons?" Fan Xiang heard this and thought to herself: Didn't you steal Luo Ying's sword just now. The Ghost Hand sighed and said, "About seven days ago, I was looking for a target in Nanjun. That day, I suddenly met the disciples of the Ten Thousand Caves, and when they saw me coming up, they started with me. I asked them why, and they said I had stolen their secret weapon, the jade and copper pins. About three days ago, I asked a friend on the rivers and lakes to inquire and found out that in the past month, a person has used my name to commit crimes everywhere, and this jade and copper needle was also stolen by that person. But the Ten Thousand Caves put this account on my head. ”
Yue Luoying said: "In terms of stealing technology, I am afraid that no one dares to admit the first if you recognize the second." This man seems to be arguing with you. ”
Fan Xiang listened and said, "Does this kid really have such a great ability?"
When the ghost hand heard Fan Xiang call himself a child, he was not happy, and said: "I have practiced the child's skills, so I maintain the appearance of a child, what do you little girl know!" Fan Xiang smiled, stepped forward and touched the head of the ghost hand, and said, "Little friend, be polite!" The ghost shadow's face turned red, and he waved his hand and stretched out two fingers to poke at Fan Xiang's Tanzhong acupoint. Yueluoying stepped forward and grabbed it, just grabbed the wrist of the ghost hand, and said, "Don't be impulsive, she doesn't speak in proportion, don't be like her." Fan Xiang didn't react yet, only then did he know that this ghost shadow was not shallow, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he obediently stood behind Yue Luoying, and felt aggrieved in his heart, so he stuck out his tongue at the ghost hand, and ignored him with a "hum".
Yue Luoying shook her head helplessly, let go of the hand of the ghost hand, and said, "Say, how do you want me to help you?"
The ghost hand said: "Actually, I don't know what to do, didn't I just come to ask you for help from my brother! I think I have such a big thing, brother, you will definitely not ignore it." But it's not too embarrassing to say it directly, so ...... Hehe!" Yue Luoying said: "It just so happens that I also have to go to the Ten Thousand Caves, otherwise I will be a lobbyist and clarify for you." The ghost hand hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's already here, can you explain to Wandong Cave?" Moreover, you don't know the four old old-fashioned ones in Wandong Cave. Moonfall was embarrassed and said, "Then what do you say?" The ghost hand said, "I think the only one who finds the fake me is." "How can I find him?" asked Yueluoying. The Ghost Hand said, "It's easy, as long as you have your sword." ”
Fan Xiang suddenly said next to him: "You mean to use Luoying's sword as a bait to catch that thief?"
The ghost hand nodded and said, "The places that that man stole are almost all the places I did when I was younger. It's just that I can't figure out why I chose the Ten Thousand Caves for the last time. But I think that if he dares to go to the Ten Thousand Caves, he should be able to afford the ghost sword. In fact, if you think about it, he just wants to prove that he is better than me. Yue Luoying said: "I just don't know what that person is capable of." Anyway, you've come to me like this, and it seems a little unkind that I don't agree anymore. However, you stole my sword, and this account must be settled, right?"
The ghost hand only felt bad, and said weakly: "You...... What do you want?"
Yueluoying thought to herself: You stole my sword, and you want me to help you, how can there be such a good thing? It's just a brother, and it is impossible to say that you don't help. He said: "Two altars of seventy-year-old monkeys are drunk. "What?!" Ghost Shadow Hands grew their mouths and hurriedly said, "No, no, this is too difficult." Yueluoying let out an "oh" and said, "Since that's the case, then you can figure it out by yourself!Xiang'er, let's go back!" Fan Xiang could see Yueluoying's calculations in her heart and knew that he was pretending, so she cooperated with him to go back. This is a bad ghost hand, you must know that this monkey drunk is a good wine that only the royal family can drink, and it takes five years to produce a jar, which is extremely precious. I am afraid that the monkey drunk that has been brewed for 70 years can only be found in the deep palace of the royal family, but how easy is it to go to that place? As long as you are not careful, you will definitely be buried there. It's just that no one can help him except Yue Luoying at the moment, and after thinking about it, the ghost hand gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!
Yueluoying smiled proudly and said, "Then we'll settle it." ”
The ghost shadow hand said, "Ghost Sword, you really killed me this time. Okay, my ghost hand is hard to chase, as long as you can help me solve this trouble, I will definitely get you two seventy-year-old monkey drunk. Yue Luoying said: "Okay, a word is a certainty." I'm going to go to the northern capital and ask Mr. Feiying for help. The ghost shadow hand was stunned for a moment, and said, "Are you sure you can please move that old guy?" Yue Luoying said: "I'm afraid others won't move, if I go, he will always give me some thin noodles." The ghost hand was skeptical, and said, "Your face will be so big? The old man of the Flying Eagle is notoriously stubborn, don't go and touch the ashes." Yue Luoying said: "Don't worry, I still have this confidence." It's getting late now, and we'll leave tomorrow. ”
After separating from the ghost hand, Yueluoying and Fan Xiang returned to the inn together. Fan Xiang said: "Luoying, do you still go to the Ten Thousand Caves in this way?" Yue Luoying said: "Of course I want to help my friend if he is in trouble, as for the matter of the sword...... I think ten days and a half late should be fine. Besides, compared to my matter, the matter of the Ghost Shadow Hand seems to be more serious, how can I not help?" Fan Xiang sighed and said, "Of course I agree to your help, but my father also said that you are really at odds with this sword now, if you continue to use this sword......" Yue Luoying raised his hand and interrupted Fan Xiang's words, he knew what Fan Xiang wanted to say. Yue Luoying walked to the window and opened the window, raised her head to look at the bright moonlight, and was stunned. He said: "Xiang'er, for me, friends are far more important than my life. ”
Fan Xiang knew that it would be uninteresting to persuade him any longer. Yue Luoying must have his reasons for doing this, after all, Yue Luoying has been on the rivers and lakes for a few years, and he must have his own experience. I'm just a pampered girl since childhood, and the world of Yueluoying is something I can't understand. Fan Xiang stopped stopping and said, "Okay, since you've decided, let's go." But you have to promise me that after helping the ghost hand, you must go to the Ten Thousand Caves. ”
Yue Luoying nodded, thinking: I'm afraid I'm running away......
The moonlight fell on the windowsill, on the ground, on the people. Yue Luoying gently closed the window and said, "Rest early, we will leave early tomorrow morning." With that, he turned and left the room.
