Chapter Ninety-Six: The Origin of the Big Yellow Dog
In the early morning, with a little bit of morning dew, the willows are verdant, like the glass of winter shining vertically, and the morning light is filled with layers of hazy mist like smoke and rain.
The waterwheel is squeaking and turning, the chimney in the distance rises a trace of green smoke and the mist merges together, in a quiet small lake, an elegant bamboo building stands near the lake, on the single-plank bridge in the distance, a young man in gray clothes, carrying a black scimitar, slowly walking along the wooden bridge.
The young man's face was delicate, because of the mist, the sideburns in front of his forehead were slightly moist, wet and sticking to his forehead, raising his head, the young man's dark eyes with a touch of brilliance, looking at the bamboo building in front of him, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and muttered: "According to what Sister Dao said, it seems that it should be here, right?"
With a deep groan, Li Yang gathered his thoughts and came to the bamboo building, which was surrounded by a semicircular courtyard wall composed of fences pinched with bamboo, and in front of the bamboo gate built horizontally and vertically by thick bamboo, there was a bluestone pier, Li Yang bypassed the stone pier and pushed open the bamboo door and walked into the courtyard.
"Sister Dao, are you there?"
Li Yang stood in the courtyard and shouted into the open bamboo door.
"Woo ......"
As soon as his words fell, the first thing that responded to him was a dog barking, Li Yang looked suspiciously, only to see that under an old locust tree with a thickness of more than a few people next to the flower garden in the courtyard, a big yellow dog was lying on the ground weakly, barking at Li Yang a few times.
"This guy...... Half a moon is still half-dead. “
Li Yang muttered in a low voice, looking at the lifeless big yellow dog under the locust tree, he couldn't help but show a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, speaking of which, he and Goudanzi have also experienced life and death together in Xiqi Mountain, and there is also a certain relationship between the two, and I really miss this dog after not seeing Li Yang for half a month.
As if remembering something, Li Yang took out a yellow-orange-orange fruit from the cloth bag on his waist, and there was a faint halo lingering on the fruit, which was Ye Lingguo's aura was very strong, and he swept it from Jia Renyi's house last night.
He knew that the big yellow dog liked things with spirituality, so he prepared some greeting gifts for it, which could be regarded as some compensation for Li Yang for almost squandering the thousand years of the big yellow dog's spiritual spring! Of course, it was just that the value of his compensation was a little too low compared to the spiritual spring.
Originally, it was a big yellow dog, seeing the Ye Lingguo thrown by Li Yang, he suddenly swept away his exhaustion, and the whole thing was suddenly a little more energetic, the dog's paws were very agile and turned the leaf spirit fruit in the ground a few times, and the dog's nose lay on the leaf spirit fruit and sniffed deeply, and then shouted at Li Yang twice with great satisfaction, as if he liked Li Yang's meeting gift very much, but if the big yellow dog knew that the reason why the guy in front of him was so enthusiastic was because he squandered his thousand-year-old spiritual spring and felt weak, I was afraid that he couldn't help but pounce on him and bite him wildly。
"You're, that little guy named Li Yang, right?"
A slightly old voice came slowly, and an old man wearing a cyan long-sleeved cloth shirt and a tight gray belt around his waist outside the fence courtyard, carrying a broom on his shoulder, walked in with a staggering step pushing the bamboo door, and said with a smile to Li Yang in the courtyard.
Hearing this, Li Yang turned his head to look at the old man who pushed the door in, his dark eyes turned slightly, and he looked at the old man in front of him, the old man's face was a little snow-white, as if he was a little lacking in qi and blood, and his body was very thin, dry like a thin piece of thin paper, it seemed that a gust of wind blew, and it could easily blow him away.
The strange thing is that Li Yang didn't feel the slightest flow of mysterious qi from the old man's body, it seemed that the old man in front of him was very ordinary, but for some reason a strange thought immediately popped up in Li Yang's mind, the old man in front of him was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, this feeling came very suddenly and was also very weird, but Li Yang was convinced.
"Dare to ask the seniors?"
Li Yang hesitated for a moment, and asked the old man with a little suspicion.
"It's just a bad old man, hehe...... Specially responsible for sweeping the floor, if the little guy doesn't dislike it, just call me Lao Wu. The old man grinned, revealing a row of yellowed and loose teeth, put the broom aside, and said to Li Yang with a smile.
"That, isn't Sister Wu at home?"
Li Yang respectfully shouted Uncle Wu, the old man in front of him is older than him, and it is okay to shout Uncle Wu, although he is not very old, but he is mature and knows how to measure himself, and he will not be stupid enough to be polite to others, you will climb up the pole and shout at Lao Wu and Lao Wu.
Politeness is the most basic etiquette that Li Bufan taught him since he was a child, because Li Bufan hates other people's impoliteness, he thinks that politeness is the most basic respect for people, and your respect for others will be respected by others, as for those who are not worthy of respect, you just ignore it.
The old man nodded secretly, as if he was very satisfied with the humility and decency of the young man, his slightly cloudy eyes unconsciously flashed a touch of brilliance, pulled out the cigarette pouch pinned to his waist, lit the cigarette pot and took a hard puff, the old man swallowed the smoke ring, squinted and said: "Liu Yatou just came back not long ago, and she is still resting." ”
Li Yang nodded to show understanding, he heard Xiao Wu say that Sister Dao's status in the Adventurer's Guild is not low, the Adventurer's Guild is so huge, there must be a lot of affairs on weekdays, and it is normal to be busy.
Shrugging his shoulders, he smiled and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Hehe...... It's not a big deal for the juniors to find Sister Dao, just wait in the courtyard for a while, it just so happens that the juniors have recently done something to make Sister Dao angry, which can be regarded as a disguised Hanmen Lixue to dissipate Sister Dao's anger. “
"You kid, you're a slippery head...... Where are you considered a cold door and a snow? At most, you can be regarded as a bamboo building. “
The old man couldn't help but laugh and said, and then he seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "I said you little guy, you wouldn't have known that Liu Yatou had been busy all night last night, so you came here early, and pretended to make amends while she was just asleep, right?"
Li Yang scratched his head, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his delicate face, he seemed to be a little embarrassed as if he had been guessed through his thoughts, his eyes seemed a little wavering, he waved his hand a little like a thief, and said curtly: "How can it! Uncle Wu, you think too much, I haven't seen Sister Dao for half a month, doesn't it happen that I happened to be passing by here today when I was free, so I came to take a look." “
The old man grinned, looked at the embarrassment revealed in the young man's face, smiled at Li Yang with deep meaning, and did not break it, "snapped ......" a puff, the dry smoke in his mouth, comfortably spit out a cloud of smoke, his cloudy eyes trembled, suddenly seemed to have found something, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, stared at the scimitar behind Li Yang, and said anxiously: "Little guy, hurry up...... Show me the knife behind you?"
"Forehead ......"
Looking at the old man's eager look, Li Yang rubbed his nose a little suspiciously, thought for a moment and took off the scimitar behind him, and handed it to the old man, he didn't worry that the old man would be greedy for his knife, because he believed that with the eyes of Sister Dao, he would definitely not leave a person with bad intentions in his home.
The old man threw aside the much-loved dry smoking gun in his hand, and some couldn't wait to take the scimitar in Li Yang's hand, churned, and after scanning it, his eyes were resolutely fixed on the three weapon patterns on the jet-black scimitar.
The material of your knife is good, but judging from its fineness, the skills of the casters who cast this knife are a little too ordinary, resulting in the lack of delicate fire in some parts of this knife, which reduces the quality of the whole knife, if it is defined by ordinary weapons, your knife can only be regarded as a middle and low-class blade. “
"It stands to reason that with the quality of your scimitar, even if there is a weapon on your knife, it is difficult to become a spirit soldier, and now I can clearly feel the spirituality contained in your knife, if my guess is correct, your knife should have been cast by the dog's egg, right?"
"Because in addition to its weapon pattern, even those master-level casters may not be able to use your scimitar with three weapon patterns to forcibly raise it to the level of a spirit soldier, or even make your scimitar more powerful than a spirit soldier of the same level. The palm of the old man's hand gently touched the three complex patterns on the scimitar, and said with determination.
Li Yang's eyes lit up, when he was in that tent, after his scimitar was cast by the big yellow dog, driven by his curiosity, he asked Sister Dao and them many things about the big yellow dog, but to Li Yang's disappointment, Sister Dao didn't seem to know that this big yellow dog could be cast.
When he was about to forget this problem that he had been thinking about to solve, the old man in front of him was a few simple words to hook up the doubts in his heart that were about to fade away, the old man's sunshine was extremely vicious, and he could see the changes in his knife at a glance, from the old man's words, it was not difficult for Li Yang to hear that the old man in front of him who did not look very conspicuous had a very deep insight into the caster.
"Uncle Wu is right, my scimitar was indeed an ordinary blade, and later after the improvement of the dog's egg, it became today's spirit soldier, for the caster, the younger generation does not know very little, the younger generation has been puzzled, what is the origin of this big yellow dog? Why are its teeth so sharp, even the stiff blade can be chewed as easily as chewing wax?"
"And there is also the pattern on this scimitar, what's going on? As far as the younger generation knows, this pattern contains the texture of heaven and earth, and it takes a clever caster to condense the laws of heaven and earth before it can be engraved, and this process is as short as a day and ten days and a half months, but the pattern on the scimitar of the younger generation, this big yellow dog is engraved with a cup of tea, and this pattern is much more profound than the general pattern. “
Li Yang rubbed his head, he really couldn't accept a dog refiner, he groaned, and asked in a somewhat dull tone: "Uncle Wu, what is the origin of this dog?"
"A living refinery ......"
The old man picked up the dry cigarette on the side and took a puff, looked at the big yellow dog lying on his stomach under the locust tree, and said with a slight trembling tone.
"What?"
Li Yang was stunned, and when he heard the old man's words, the whole person was stunned for a moment, and the cold air under his feet was rushing up, and before he knew it, the clothes on his body had been completely soaked in cold sweat.
ps: After school at half past six, I came back to the code until now, I don't want to settle, I repaired it several times, I'm sorry for waiting for a long time, I went to eat, and I starved to death.
