Chapter 30: The Shopkeeper
The black cat squatted on the window, sometimes looking, sometimes licking its front paws, and then grooming its hair.
Xu Yi wanted to get up and hug the black cat, but the black cat jumped away at once, not letting Xu Yi hug it.
"I won't let me hug it yet."
Xu Yi pouted, returned to the wooden table sullenly, picked up the "Flowing Water Sword Technique" and studied it by himself. But soon, her eyes were attracted by the exquisite swordsmanship in "Flowing Water Sword Technique".
The opening chapter roughly introduces what is the way of the sword and what is the person who holds the sword.
The sword, the ancient saint Pin, is honored and noble, the ancestor of short soldiers, and the weapon of close combat.
Since ancient times, there have been countless people who have galloped across the battlefield with swords, stood up for their lives, and acted benevolently and righteously. The princes and emperors of the past dynasties, the scribes and knights, and the common people of the merchant are all proud of their perseverance.
The love for the sword has existed since ancient times. Compared with knives, axes and other weapons, the sword has a greater advantage, that is, it is lightweight, wears the charm, and uses it quickly, so it has created its enduring history.
This is the sword.
And the avenue of the sword, when the thunder and lightning are the edge, the wind and clouds are the gong, the out is invisible, and the harvest is godless.
"This sword is so profound, it hurts my head to look at it." Xu Yi rubbed her temples, a little discouraged, but quickly recovered, she turned the second page and looked at the moves on the "Flowing Water Sword Technique".
All changes are inseparable from its origin, and its moves should be mainly split, slashing, collapsing, teasing, gridding, washing, intercepting, stabbing, stirring, pressing, hanging, cloud, etc., and then blending, and the order changes to form a set of sword moves. It is characterized by the combination of rigidity and softness, free throughput, and briskness.
Xu Yi picked up the dagger, swung it as a sword, and learned it well, but the dagger was never a sword in the real sense, and it was extremely awkward to use.
However, with Xu Yi's decision to silently recite the "Flowing Water Sword Technique" in his heart, coupled with the movements in his hands, there was an aura in the dantian that began to float and flow to the limbs, making Xu Yi's sword swinging movements more smooth and lighter.
Xu Yi only practiced one of the first moves in the "Flowing Water Sword Technique", which was to stab his wrist and turn the sword to turn a circle diagonally downward, and then slash diagonally upwards and downwards.
With the swing of this "sword", once, twice, ten...... Until more than 100 times, Xu Yi was tired and panting, and collapsed directly on the bed. Her body is like an open steamed bun, steaming.
She was short of breath and secretly analyzed: "I have never learned swords in general, and the sword holding technique seems to be wrong, and my luck is not calm enough. ”
"To defend against the enemy with a sword, the emphasis is on speed, ruthlessness, and accuracy, but every time I swing the sword, I feel weak and weak."
"It seems that the basic skills are not solid enough."
Xu Yi was silent for a long time and found his own problem. After she had rested for a while, she got up and went to the wooden table and poured out all the contents of the sack.
There were five storage bags inside, one of which was Lao Dao's storage bag, and the other three should be the storage bags of Xuantian Sect's disciples, as for the last one, Xu Yi guessed that Lao Dao had kidnapped a certain loose cultivator.
"In troubled times, mortals are like ants, and those with weak strength are just like that, even if the background strength is like that of a disciple of Xuantian Sect, they have also suffered a death catastrophe, and only if they are strong can they live."
For the death of Lao Dao, Xu Yi has no mercy, it is normal for monks to deceive each other, but it is a great sin to hurt the innocent. Heaven is still fair, let him die in his own hands, it can be regarded as a harm.
Xu Yi threw the old storage bag aside, picked up a storage bag at any time, and poured out the contents of the contents.
Most of them are spirit stones, the size of goose eggs, in a slightly regular polygonal shape, shrouded in a faint soft light, full of mist.
Xu Yi held it in his hand, it was a little cool, and there was a little heavy feeling. She tried to inject the aura, and in an instant, the misty aura shone brightly, and a rich aura rose from the palm of her hand, and the diameter drilled into Xu Yi's body.
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, knowing that he was absorbing the aura left in the spirit stone, so he immediately closed his eyes and absorbed the aura.
The aura left in the spirit stone is extremely rich, but unfortunately it is pitiful, but in a few breaths, the original brilliant and agile spirit stone has become an ordinary stone at this moment.
"Although the spirit stone is good, this aura is inevitably too little." Xu Yi remembered that when he was mining, the pieces of ore had never been opened at that time, and they couldn't absorb the aura, which was simply a ruinous thing.
It's no wonder that the mine slaves are all mortals who have no cultivation, only in this way will no one steal ore and hide in the mine to cultivate.
Mutter~
At this time, Xu Yi's stomach screamed, and she found that she was a little hungry.
Xu Yi looked out the window, the scorching sun was in the sky, the sun was like fire, and before he knew it, it was noon.
"Before I knew it, I had swung my sword all morning, no wonder my arm was a little sore."
Xu Yi rubbed his arm, put away the storage bag on the table, then turned around and left the room, walked downstairs, and just walked to the entrance of the stairs, he heard the voice of the shopkeeper downstairs.
"Little bastard, can you be quick with your hands and feet, the guests are gone, and I don't know what I want you to clean up."
"There, move this over...... Bastard, where are you moving, where are you going. ”
"It's stupid."
Hearing the shopkeeper's shouting, Xu Yi silently walked down the stairs, just in time to see the little boy moving the heavy table and chairs.
The staircase was made of wood, and there would be a knocking sound up and down, so when the shopkeeper turned around and saw Xu Yi coming down, he immediately shut up and retreated to the counter, turning his back to Xu Yi as if he was looking for something again.
Xu Yi came to the counter and asked, "Shopkeeper, what is this?" ”
Xu Yi looked at the sweaty little boy who was tired from moving tables and chairs, and was a little curious.
"Oh, you said this, I recently hired a worker, and I'm going to renovate this inn, after all, it all costs money." The shopkeeper turned around, and his face was no longer as arrogant as before, and it was full of compliments.
After the last incident, the shopkeeper also understood that the girl in front of him was not very human.
looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, but at a young age, he was able to cripple his son with one kick, and he lay in bed for several days before recovering.
That scene made a deep impression on her.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Immortal Master, why did you come down suddenly, is it because the small shop is uncomfortable?" ”
Xu Yi shook his head, "Not really, it's just that I'm a little hungry, come down and eat something, and ask you about something by the way." ”
"The immortal master is hungry, please come here."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly led Xu Yi to a table and chair, and then shouted to the backyard: "Big fat, hurry up and prepare some food for the immortal master, don't hide your skills, although it is better." ”
After speaking, the shopkeeper turned to the little boy and said, "Little Sanzi, hurry up and prepare tea for the immortal master, remember to use the tea leaves in the second box in the third row, I'm afraid that the immortal master will not be used to drinking it." ”
At this time, the shopkeeper said to Xu Yi with a smile on his face: "Immortal Master, if you have any questions, although the old body does not leave the house, he is still familiar with this Liuyun City." ”
