Chapter 367: Old Man in the Way
Yuhua City, outside the city gate.
Xin'er, Ma Dian, Leng Yue, and Han Tangxiang are standing outside the city, as a sub-city of Ansai City, Yuhua City has always been very prosperous, and there are very few city gates that are closed and outsiders are not allowed to enter, but now, due to the increasingly intensified contradictions between the two major sects in Yuhua City, Yuhua City has been closed three days ago, not allowing outsiders to flow in, and sending heavy troops to guard it, not allowing outsiders to enter the city.
However, if you want to reach Fanhe County, you must pass through Yuhua City, unless you take the mountain road, but the mountain road is too dangerous and takes too long, and Xin'er and the others are in a hurry, so they have no choice but to come to Yuhua City.
"You guys stop!" the two officials guarding the city gate said to Xin'er and the others.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the three girls all brought black hats, and Xin'er even brought a thousand faces, after all, the appearance of the three of them is too amazing, once exposed, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.
Ma Dian stood at the front and said to the two officials guarding the guard: "Two masters, we are students of Ansai Academy, and we have been arranged by the academy to go to Yuhua City to explore the situation of the two families, so as to report to the academy. ”
As soon as they heard that the four of them were students of Ansai Academy, the attitudes of the two guarding officials changed somewhat.
"Are you students at Ansai Academy, do you have an academy token?" asked one of the guards.
"Ahh
After that, Ma Dian took out the academy token and handed it to the two officials, and Xin'er and the others behind him also took out the tokens.
The guard officer looked at the token, and after confirming the authenticity, he looked deeply at Xin'er and the others behind Ma Dian before he spoke: "Go in, remember your duties, and don't get involved in the affairs of the two families!"
I didn't expect to be able to enter just by taking out the token, and there was a little difference in the hearts of the three of them: It seems that the status of our academy in Dalu is still quite high.
"Obey the orders of the two masters!" Ma Dian agreed, and then took Xin'er and the others into Yuhua City.
There was silence outside the city, and it was even more silent inside the city, and the spacious streets were not half a figure except for four people, and the doors of the major shops were closed. Everyone hid in their homes, fearing that the fight between the two families would affect them.
"Is this really Yuhua City? How can it be so quiet? Not even a person. Xin'er looked around and couldn't help but say.
"There is no way, the people in the two cities who are fighting want to avoid suspicion, for fear that the battle between the two families will affect them, so they can only hide at home. It seems that it will be difficult to meet people again along the way, so let's hurry up. Ma Dian said lightly.
Xin'er nodded, and continued to follow Ma Dian forward.
However, the three of them didn't walk long before an unkempt old man suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way.
The old man had a gray headband, a folding fan in his hand, skinny as a talent, but his face was ruddy, he looked very energetic, he had an ordinary face, and there was a black mole at the corner of his mouth, which made the already ordinary face look even more ugly, but it was that face that revealed a fairy spirit!
This person is by no means an ordinary man!
I saw him sitting on a stool by himself, with Erlang's legs crossed, and a tattered table in front of him.
Although the table was tattered, it was very long, directly blocking the entire road, and it was full of leftover melon peels, but he didn't care, he was still knocking on the melon seeds, while snorting, while talking to himself, looking like that, he should be a storyteller.
Seeing such a person in front of them, Ma Dian and the others subconsciously raised their vigilance, and slowly walked in front of the old man, and a bad pungent smell came to their faces, like sour garbage that had rotted for many years and was moved to the street, making the four of them subconsciously cover their mouths and noses.
Ma Dian was a little confused by the smell, but he still couldn't help but kindly reminded: "Old man, now that the two major sects of Yuhua City are at war, the road is very dangerous, please leave quickly, so as not to get hurt." ”
The old man raised his eyelids, looked at Ma Dian, spit out the melon seed shell in his mouth, and showed a hint of emotion in his eyes, "What? Did you build this road? Just allow you to wander around on the side of the road, can't you let me, the old man, take a cool break in the middle of the road?"
The old man did not show the slightest fluctuation of magic power, giving people the impression that he was an unreasonable old stubborn, old beggar, but his intuition told Ma Dian that this person was definitely not simple.
After all, in such a tense situation, this old man could still sit in the middle of the road calmly, blocking the whole road, and it looked like he should have been sitting for a long time, but no one drove him away, and this alone was enough to see how extraordinary he was!
"Hehe, the juniors naturally don't dare to disturb Mr. Yaxing, but I don't know if Mr. can make a place for us to leave. Ma Dian looked at the old man and said respectfully.
The old man glanced at Ma Dian and did not speak, but continued to block the middle of the road, preventing the four of them from entering.
Although Ma Dian knew that this old man was not simple, as a man with strong blood, he was somewhat unhappy when he saw that the road was inexplicably blocked by an inexplicable old man, and he was about to step over directly, but was grabbed by Xin'er.
"Forget Brother Dian, let's just take another path. ”
Ma Dian looked deeply at the mysterious old man in front of him, and finally nodded, choosing to take another road and take a detour.
Watching a few people leave, the old man smiled mysteriously, and an intriguing word floated to the ears of several people.
"Young man, we'll see you later......"
Several people subconsciously turned their heads to look at the old man, he was still knocking on the melon seeds by himself, not caring about the four of them at all, and even put his feet on the table, letting the stains stain his black feet.
The four of them were extremely disgusted in their hearts, and quickly turned around and looked for another way.
The other road was still very quiet, and there was no one around, only the footsteps of the four people kept recalling.
After seeing the mysterious old man, the four of them were a little depressed, and Han Tangxiang directly withdrew the candy, his expression became extremely solemn, and he kept thinking about something in his heart.
Xin'er looked at Han Tangxiang's appearance and couldn't help asking, "Sister Sugar, do you know that old gentleman?"
Han Tangxiang shook her head, "I don't know." ”
"That's it......" Xin'er was a little disappointed in her heart, but no one chose to dig deeper again, but continued to follow Ma Dian forward.
At this time, Han Tangxiang was still pondering, although she didn't know the old man, but in the depths of her memory, she vaguely seemed to have seen the old man, but the current Han Tangxiang didn't think about it.
......
The four of them didn't walk for long, and the front was blocked by an obstacle again, it was the mysterious old man from before!
It's still a familiar table, it's still a familiar smell, it's still a familiar person, and the surrounding houses have obviously changed, but what hasn't changed is the hurdle that can never be overcome.
The previous sentence suddenly appeared in the minds of several people.
"So, is this what it's called goodbye?"
I saw that the old man looked at Ma Dian with a playful smile and a mouth full of yellow teeth.
Looking at that expression, Ma Dian was angry, and was about to step forward to ask the old man for clarification, but was stopped by Xin'er again.
"Forget Brother Dian, there are many roads, he can't block all the roads, let's continue to bypass him. ”
"Humph!"
Ma Dian snorted coldly, ignored the old man, and continued to choose another path.
However, no matter how many people changed paths, the figure of the old man would appear in front of them, and the dilapidated table was like a strong barrier, blocking the way of several people.
In the end, Ma Dian couldn't bear it anymore, so he stepped forward and shouted, "Stinky old man, what do you want to do? Let us go, don't hear me!"
At this time, Leng Yue was also extremely dissatisfied in her heart, seeing that old man, she really wanted to smash a fireball over!
On the contrary, Xin'er has always maintained her sanity, and pulled Ma Dian and said: "Brother Dian, forget it! Let's go, don't leave Yuhua City, you can still get to Fanhe County by taking the mountain road, let's leave quickly, the old gentleman is embarrassed to disturb, let's go!"
The old man looked at Ma Dian and smiled slightly, "Young man, if you talk like this, it's easy that you won't see me next time, you should learn from this little girl next to you, look at her, how polite." Come on, little girl, I'll let you pass. ”
After that, the old man really moved the table to the side to make way for an empty seat.
Xin'er nodded and said respectfully: "Thank you seniors, okay, Brother Dian, Sister Leng Yue, Sister Sugar, let's go." ”
After speaking, Xin'er led the three of them to walk against the wall.
Seeing that the four of them were planning to leave together, they returned the table again.
"Eh, little girl, you really love to take advantage, I only said to let you live alone, but not let anyone else?" the mysterious old man smiled.
Xin'er was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Dare to be a senior, how can we let all four of us pass?"
"Next time, next time. The mysterious old man said while knocking on the melon seeds.
When Ma Dian heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, as a man, he blindly backed down in front of his beloved woman, Ma Dian said that he would not agree to anything!
"Next time, no joke!
After that, Ma Dian ignored Xin'er's obstruction, and jumped directly over the old man's head, wanting to fly over the old man's head and give him a kick.
"Brother Dian don't!"
Xin'er shouted, jumped up as well, and pounced towards Ma Dian.
However, at the moment when Xin'er jumped up, Ma Dian had already crossed the top of the old man's head and was about to make up for him, when something strange happened!
At the moment when Ma Dian stretched out his feet, his whole body suddenly froze in mid-air, and he didn't move, only feeling an invisible shock wave coming, which made him can't help but move back a few meters, and was directly grabbed by Xin'er's backhand and fell back to the ground.
At this time, Ma Dian felt extremely different in his heart: what is the origin of this guy, just now, it was not Xin'er who pulled him back, but was knocked back by him, but just now he obviously did not have the slightest magic fluctuation.
How exactly did he do it?
