Chapter 16: The Crane Feather Sword
The sun is scorching, but the smoke and rain are shaking.
A bizarre combination of two very different weathers.
Zhao Changsheng looked out of the window curiously, and couldn't help but stretch his hand out of the window.
After a while, he was pleasantly surprised.
"Daochang Li, this rain is hot."
This time it was like stabbing a grasshopper's nest.
The inn in the wilderness burst into laughter.
"This rain is basking in the sun, but it's not hot."
Li Jiuan also said with a smile.
Zhao Changsheng is also good-tempered, and he is not annoyed when everyone laughs, so he wiped his hands and sat back.
"Be careful."
Li Jiu'an's eyes were quick, and just when the shopkeeper almost fell, he stepped forward to help him.
"Ahh
After the shopkeeper put down the wine and food, he hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
It turned out to be a mute, Li Jiuan shook his head with a smile and signaled that he didn't need to thank him, and then let Xiao Er leave.
The wine and food were served, the three of them pushed the glass and changed the lamp, and chatted all over the world.
If you want to say that this Qingxu Daoist is also a strange temper, Zhao Changsheng refuses to be his apprentice, but he must accept him as an apprentice, he has perseverance, and he is thick-skinned, and he can't get rid of it
In desperation, Zhao Changsheng could only let him follow.
However, Li Jiuan had a good chat with this Qingxu Daoist, and he heard a lot of things he said along the way, but he didn't know whether it was true or not.
"I said, which sect are you worshipping?"
After Qingxu Dao Chang asked Zhao Changsheng twice as usual if he wanted to be him, he unsurprisingly got the answer of refusal, so he turned his head and asked Li Jiu'an.
Li Jiuan thought for a while and decided to answer truthfully, "I don't know either." ”
"Then how did you learn this skill?"
Qingxu Dao Chang is even more strange, the Taoist priest in front of him is not very old, but the spells he can know are all Taoist supernatural powers, and ordinary people can't learn them.
"When I was a child, I learned it from a wild Taoist priest."
Qingxu Dao Chang's eyes rolled, and he thought about it again, this Zhao Changsheng refused to be his apprentice, or he would have to deceive one first.
"Then why don't you settle with the poor Dao, a serious Taoist priest, I can pass on your method of arranging the altar, isn't it better than you cutting people with a sword?"
As he spoke, the Qingxu Daoist hurriedly explained to Zhao Changsheng.
"The eldest apprentice is kept for you, and he is the second apprentice."
Of course, his words did not get a response from the two, but they were stunned.
Let him keep muttering in his mouth, the two of them have eyes and don't know Taishan.
Li Jiuan also did not want to be a Taoist priest, as far as he knew, in this world, after the scarf, he really hung his name in the sky, although after the scarf altar can be set up to summon heavenly soldiers and generals, but there are also a lot of rules to be observed.
He couldn't stand those rules, so although there were a lot of benefits, he didn't want to.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in, blowing the wind chimes hanging at the door of the store.
I saw a group of fierce men pushing open the door and walking in, bringing in a gust of hot air.
He saw that there were not many empty seats in the inn, and he didn't talk much, so he walked straight to the table closest to him, threw the long knife on his waist on the table, shook a lot of soup, and then stared at the few people on the table.
"Little Er, check out."
Those people were ordinary people, and they were halfway through eating, when they saw a fierce man next to them, how could they not know what it meant, threw the food money on the table, and ran out without looking back.
With someone taking the lead, soon the sound of checkout came one after another in the inn.
The reckless man nodded with satisfaction, although there were still a few tables of people who had not left, but the vacant seats were enough for their brothers to sit, so they did not drive people away.
"Little Er, why is there no one to serve you, take down all these leftovers!."
There are several juniors in the inn, but how dare they go up, if they accidentally annoy these masters, it may be fatal.
In the end, after several times of coercion from the shopkeeper and the promise of a lot of rewards, the mute little two walked up tremblingly.
"Ahh
"What's the matter, there's no one in this inn! Let a dumb man come. ”
Saying that, the reckless man looked behind fiercely, but he couldn't, the shopkeeper kicked out the little two one by one, and personally stepped forward to make amends.
These men were quite loud, as if they were discussing this place as if it were their own home.
"Boss, why are you running here, can you catch that person?"
"You know what." The leading man had a smug look on his face, "So many people are squatting in the north, have you squatted?" No, and if you knew so many people squatting you in the north, would you be stupid enough to hit your head? Therefore, we will go the opposite way, and we will definitely be able to catch the only way to the south. ”
"Makes sense."
"Boss Wise!"
"Worthy of the boss!"
After listening to the boss's explanation, everyone around immediately solved their doubts, and a sound of flattery sounded, which made Xu Sanhao not proud.
Li Jiuan listened coldly, but he understood the purpose of these people.
Recently, the most lively thing in Huainan Road is the annual miracle ceremony of the Qiantang Guanshui Temple.
There is only one thing that is more famous than this miracle ceremony.
The reward issued by the water temple is wanted, and Ding He, the captain of the demon division of Qiantang Guanzhen, is wanted.
Regardless of life or death, the reward is 50,000 taels of silver, plus a quota for this year's miracle ceremony.
To say that 50,000 taels of silver is a lot, but it is not enough to boil the rivers and lakes, but a place in this miracle ceremony is not exchanged, and many families can't compete for it, which makes Huainan Road completely chaotic, especially in the north.
It is said that Ding He stole the healing technique of the Water Temple on the order of the Demon Division, which made the Water Temple angry.
Then Ding He will inevitably run north to the headquarters of the Demon Division in Huainan Province.
And these people are fighting an anti-mentality, betting that Ding He is not so stupid, and when he sees that he can't get through the north, he will turn around and detour to the south.
I don't know if it's such a coincidence.
"Dao Chief, look, the miracle of the Water Temple must be true, otherwise the Demon Suppression Division would send someone to steal it."
Zhao Changsheng glanced at those big men a few times, suppressed his excitement and whispered.
Qingxu Daoist still doesn't believe it.
And Li Jiuan was thoughtful.
Both were silent.
Maybe it's because these fierce men are under enough pressure, but the meals in the back kitchen are cooked quickly, and a few little two are shuttling non-stop to serve the food.
It's still the dumb little two, maybe tired, and when he passed by the door, someone happened to come in again, and he was frightened, and he accidentally didn't hold the tray steady, and spilled the soup on the face of a big man on the table next to him.
How could the big man's temper be bearable, and he immediately slapped his backhand at the dumb little two.
"Ahh
The dumb little two couldn't withstand this blow, and immediately fell backwards, and the hot soup in his hand was also sprinkled on himself.
At this critical juncture, fortunately, a hand stretched out in mid-air and pulled the mute Xiao Er out, avoiding the result of him being poured into the soup.
But now it offended those people in the rivers and lakes.
The big man who did it immediately stood up and looked at the person with wide eyes.
But then he was beaten down by his boss.
He looked at the boss with a confused expression, not knowing why.
But Xu San didn't care so much, he suppressed his excitement and pretended to look at the man calmly.
Although the man covered his face with a hat, his accessories could not be hidden.
The sword scabbard is a white crane, and the hilt is flying.
This is the sword that Ding He, the captain of the Demon Suppression Division, carries with him, the Crane Feather Sword!
