Volume 1 The Sword Rises from Qingzhou Chapter 10 Birth! Knife or Sword? (II)

Qingzhou Prefecture is a big city, is the most prosperous place in the whole Qingzhou, there are the largest and most luxurious restaurants, there are the most popular Qinglou courtesans, there are also known as the most fair gambling houses, according to legend, even if you are a living immortal who has lived outside the world for a long time, if you don't come to the state capital city to walk, you can not be considered to be able to transcend the red dust.

If a merchant from other places comes to this state capital for the first time, he will ask the people in the city what is the most in the city? Anyone who walks on the street will not say that there are the most beautiful sisters who are full of flowers, nor will he say that there are the most "big gold bars" more than a foot long in the moat, but he will only pull the merchant's sleeve and point to the corner of the wall and tell him, this place, this place has the most such things, and they cannot be provoked or offended, so they should hide far away when they see it.

What kind of thing are you? Flowing with a hara, crooked neck, staring at the beads, wearing a ragged gown, barefoot, holding a wooden stick, pretending to be a grandson when meeting people, and walking together as Lao Tzu.

This kind of thing is called a beggar, and the old man in silk and satin hates this thing the most, and when he sees it, he scolds his bad luck, and accidentally touches the corner of his clothes by the hand like a chicken paw, and he really wants to jump into the moat and wash it clean, if he is not afraid of dirty his shoes, he must see one and kick one, and he can't understand how there are these bedbugs in such a big and prosperous city to spoil the interest?

But I don't understand what, this kind of "bed bug" is not everywhere. Some of them are simply lazy and lazy, and they will never starve to death in such a big and prosperous city, right? If they are lucky, they can be the boss and still eat and drink spicy food; some have been abandoned since childhood, or their parents have died, and it is not easy to live, so how can they still want to be decent? There is another kind, which is even more pitiful, they are physically crippled, missing arms and legs, but they can always have more mouthfuls than others when they want to eat, usually people can not help but be merciful when they see such miserable people, oops, this is really a rare bodhisattva heart!

But why are there so many disabled people? If Zhang Xiaolu's tongue hadn't been cut out yet, then he would definitely tell the old blind man in front of him how the group of people kidnapped the children, sold the good-looking ones to the Qinglou as prostitutes and little ministers, and the ugly ones directly broke their legs and feet and went to the street to beg. He is not ugly, on the contrary, if he is well dressed up, he is still a handsome child, especially those dark eyes with an aura. It's just too thin, and he doesn't have a few taels of meat all over his body, but he is very content, even if the little minister can eat and dress warmly, he doesn't want to go, so he scolded the boss a few words, and sure enough, he was separated from his tongue and thrown on the street to beg, he can always earn some money for the boss, right?

This old blind man met at that time, Zhang Xiaolu still remembered that the other party squatted down, took his hand, and said, child, follow me. Somehow he was willing to believe the old blind man, he grabbed the old blind man's outstretched hand and escaped from the beggar's boss's sight.

Zhang Xiaolu obediently stuffed the chicken leg that had just come back from the wine table in Manxianglou into the old blind man's hand, shook the old blind man's cuffs, and signaled the old blind man to eat quickly.

The old blind man raised the chicken leg under his nose and smelled it, it was really fragrant!

"It smells good, and it definitely tastes better. It's a pity that the old blind man just ate a drawer full of steamed buns, and my stomach is very strong. As he spoke, he handed the chicken leg in the direction of Zhang Xiaolu.

Zhang Xiaolu looked at the chicken leg and swallowed his saliva, but still blocked the chicken leg with his hand.

"Why, don't believe it? Someone just asked me for a fortune telling, and I calculated well, so he bought me two drawers of steamed buns, I think there are too many of them, and we can't be greedy for disaster relief, right? I'm afraid you won't come back today, so I'll eat it myself, don't you be angry?"

The old blind man knows how to tell fortunes, this little deer knows, after all, every time the old blind man runs away with him to avoid the accomplices who are searching for him by the beggar boss, so he doesn't want to go back to earn money for the beggar boss.

Zhang Xiaolu finally took the chicken leg and took a bite with satisfaction, and his smart eyes smiled like a curved moon.

The old blind man looked to the east with his eyes closed, and seemed to say to himself: "No, how did you get a half-finished product?" But those short swords are quite beautiful, well, one black and one white, and they match ......."

"Well?......" Zhang Xiaolu munched on the chicken leg carefully, as if he heard the old blind man saying something, so he asked in one of the few voices he could make.

The old blind man turned his head sharply and asked Zhang Xiaolu: "Old blind man, are you convinced of my fortune-telling ability?"

"Uh-huh!" can you disagree with it? Every time you don't say anything to question the old blind man's ability, you will be knocked on the head with a bamboo stick.

"The old blind man said that you will soon die for others and be buried in the fire, do you complain?"

The voice seemed to come from the Nine Shadows, and the old blind man's eyes seemed to be staring into his eyes through his eyelids, and he shivered at the sight.

After a long time, Zhang Xiaolu pulled the corners of the old blind man's clothes.

"Good boy, I'll find you a good family in the next life!" "The calloused palm touched Zhang Xiaolu's hair.

Zhang Xiaolu nibbled on the chicken leg in small bites, his eyes were full of use, but tears flowed down his cheeks, and the old blind man couldn't see it.

......

Jia Han felt that although he couldn't get the divine weapon in the treasure, Luo Buyi was able to make up for it by giving them the divine weapon turned into an "iron rod", but he didn't know how the divine weapon turned into an "iron rod" was.

"I will avenge your revenge, and I will build your villa. ”

A strange voice sounded, interrupting Jia Han's train of thought, who is this, such a big breath, aren't you afraid of blowing the cowhide open? It's just that when did this person come, why didn't he notice it at all?

Hua Yunle was happy, twisted her waist to meet her: "Yo, who am I, isn't this the arrival of my in-laws? Which gust of wind sneaked you over, didn't you bump on the way, right? Come, I'll see if I'm hurt?"

What the hell is Sister Hua Yun, does Sister Hua Yun have relatives who are the son-in-law and daughter-in-law of this man in black? Luo is not easy to understand.

The person who came was dressed in a black robe, wearing a hat, and the hat was covered with a black veil, and he couldn't see his face clearly, so he stretched out his hand and opened Hua Yun's outstretched hand, and walked straight to Hua Ning.

But the "snap" was too loud, and the seven people who hit the business and the other seven trembled, obediently, you are fighting a prefecture-level master, not a cat or a dog, even if you are in-laws, it will kill people if you make a bad trouble!

The answer is, not really. The proprietress of Huayun just shook her hand, rubbed it, and pouted her ruddy little mouth: "I don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all!"

Could it be that this man in black is actually a heaven-level master?

Luo Buyi had some guesses about the cultivation of his newly recognized sister Hua Yun, seeing that the person who came didn't care about Sister Hua Yun, and even Sister Hua Yun didn't dare to stop her, she was in front of Hua Ning at the moment, why did the other party come at Hua Ning? Could it be that he wanted to snatch those divine weapons?

"Senior!" Luo Buyi clasped his fists and saluted, trying to make the man in black stop.

"Get out of the way!" the tone was rather unkind.

The other party's tone made Luo Buyi confirm that he really wanted to grab Hua Ning's short sword.

"Can the predecessors know that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way? Although this divine soldier has just been born, he has already recognized Hua Ning as the master. The seniors are one step late!" Luo Buyi is neither humble nor arrogant.

The corners of the black-clothed man's mouth were playful, and it was not easy to see through the veil.

"Then what do I have to do?"

The divine soldiers have already recognized the Lord and still forcibly ask for it, and those who come are not good. Luo Buyi's brows furrowed, and the fingers of his right hand hooked slightly, "Iron rod", no, the black long knife fell into his hand with a heel.

Luo Buyi put this black knife that had not been carefully examined since he was born in front of his chest, put his left hand against the back of the knife, and assumed the posture of being an enemy, and said, "If the seniors want to force it, then it is better to take this one away." ”

Take it away, how to take it away, kill the original owner first.

"Oh, it's interesting, but I want it all, what are you going to do?" the man in black seemed unwilling to compromise.

"Then I have to offend!" "With a horizontal heart, it's a big deal that this life is gone, and Hua Ning can't be hurt.

Running the exercises at full strength, this was probably the most serious he had in fifteen years.

"Why are you going to work hard? With your cultivation that is not of the same level? I admit that your exercises are a bit special, and with the divine weapons in your hands, you may be able to fight against Xuan-level masters, but these are far from enough! ”

Yes, Luo Buyi has not yet reached the level. After he entered the city, he had never done his best, and with the help of the "iron rod", ordinary masters could not see his depth. But the man in black who is facing now is obviously not afraid of Sister Hua Yun, who is suspected of being a ground-level cultivator, and his cultivation is at least a prefecture-level, and of course his reality is clearly explored.

"Enough fun, right?" Hua Yun said lazily.

The man in black didn't answer, apparently acquiescing.

Luo Buyi still didn't figure out what was going on, what was going on? What did it mean to have enough fun? What were you playing? Playing with me?

"Sister!" was Hua Ning's voice, very anxious, from the beginning she was frozen in place and couldn't move, she wanted to speak but couldn't even open her mouth, fortunately she could move at this time.

Sister?What are you calling Sister Hua Yun at this time? Besides, didn't you call Sister Hua before?

Just when he was confused, he saw Hua Ning running over and stretching out his arms to block in front of him.

"Hua Ning, stand back, it's dangerous!" Luo Buyi pulled Hua Ning's arm and pulled her back.

"Let go of your hands!" the man in black said sternly.

"Sister..."Hua Ning's voice was coquettish.

Huh? Why is it still called... Suddenly noticed that Hua Ning was calling at the man in black, and remembered that Hua Ning did say that she had a sister, and that sister still had the right to change the name of Sunny Rain City, could it...

Luo Buyi turned his head stiffly and grinned: "Sister..."

Luo Buyi was already half-stupid, but Shang Shang and Jia Han were not stupid, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects: "Zhongzhou Zangjian Villa Shang Shang Shang (Jia Han) see Lord Qingzhou!"

Ignoring the stupid kid, and didn't look at his own sister who blushed again, he looked down at the two kneeling on the ground, and said slowly: "You two went to the state capital fifteen years ago to ask for my blood, and at that time there was civil strife in the family, so I didn't agree to you. Fifteen years have passed, and I can't imagine that you haven't given up yet, and you even took that stinky boy forging a divine soldier as a condition, coercing my sister to help you make the divine soldier born, and even more harming my sister lost too much blood and almost injured her life. You say, 'How should I feel about you both?'

If Jia Han couldn't hear the hatred in his words, then he would have lived to be a dog at this age. Although they didn't mean to blackmail Hua Ning, what he didn't tell Hua Ning was that even if she donated Qinghua's blood, he couldn't forge the "iron rod" brought by Luo Buyi into a divine soldier. In other words, he just wanted to fool the blood of Qinghua that he had accidentally bumped into.

There is no room for him to quibble.

"Lord Mingjian, it is really a big sin to be lucky and put the little princess in danger. The little princess is blessed with the sky, and she has the help of nobles to resolve the crisis, and she has let the gods recognize the master, which is gratifying!" "If it was in ancient times, the daughter of the king of a country was called a princess, and now the state capital pattern, where is there any princess." But it's no wonder that Jia Han is so flattering, it's really that the prefecture-level master is too terrifying, and this state lord is even more ruthless, it is rumored that when she was a teenager, she destroyed a big clan, so the divine soldier should be sent out, after all, it is important to save her life.

"Hmph, you two should get up first. "Indifference.

Jia Han knew that the state lord had let them go, so he hurriedly helped Shang Shang up.

However, Shang Shang was inevitably discouraged, lost the motivation to live, and the whole person was extremely depressed.

"As I just said, I will find a way to find the demon king who destroyed your villa and remove this evil for you. The dilapidated Tibetan Sword Villa, I will also help you rebuild it in the name of the state lord, but there is only one item, and the weapons cast by the villa in the future will be given priority to my Qingzhou government army. ”

It seems that joy has descended from the sky, so what if the divine soldier is not theirs? The mountain villa originally forged weapons to sell them to the major forces in exchange for resources, not to mention the materials for rebuilding the mountain villa, they did not have it, even if they saved money for fifteen years, the money they saved was less than one ten-thousandth.

As for taking revenge on that demon king, it was their luxury, and that demon king at least had a mid-level cultivation at the ground level, so where did they find someone who was willing to stand up for them? and the old man Ziji, who was a mid-level master of the ground level, was not the opponent of the demon king.

But the state lord is different, not to mention that she herself is a prefecture-level cultivator, the grade of the Qinghua lotus lamp she holds is a prefecture-level high-level divine soldier, it is said that if it is used locally in Qingzhou, it will faintly reach the level of the peak of the prefecture-level, thinking that if she agrees to make a move, the demon king should not be able to escape.

They don't lose money on this deal.

"Thank you, Lord Governor!" Shang Shang and Jia Han bowed down again and kowtowed three times.

The Lord didn't respond to them, but just looked at the stinky boy who was smirking at him, as if he was amused.

"This is the token you plan to give to Ning'er?" glanced at the black knife, unable to tell whether it was joy or anger.

"Yes, yes, yes, sister. Luo Buyi blushed, and finally added the word sister.

He swore that he had never been so embarrassed, first he made a big mistake to Hua Ning's sister, and now he was exposed as a token to Hua Ning, although he didn't have the word love, but the feeling of being caught red-handed by the elders was really indescribable.

"Sister, don't say it!" Hua Ning blushed and was about to bleed.

The Lord of the Governors was noncommittal, reaching for the hilt of the black knife.

Luo Buyi hurriedly held the black knife upside down and handed the handle to the state lord.

The handle of the black knife is also black, Hua Ning peeked and found that there were the same fine scales as the hilt of his short sword, and the blade was also very similar to his own sword, which made Hua Ning complacent, he really had a relationship with Luo Buyi.

As soon as the lord of the state held the black knife, he was shaken open by the black knife, and with a light sound, the blue light appeared on his hand, although the black knife struggled hard, it was no longer able to shake the hand of the lord of the state.

Look at it, only to see that the blade of the knife is straight and slender, about two feet seven inches long, two fingers and a half minutes wide and narrow, the tip of the knife is a cutting blade, the blade and the blade are like the same color, the blade is like a lotus, but it is slightly smaller than Hua Ning's sword blade, only half a minute wider than the blade, the handle is about eight inches long, the black scale feathers are all over, the head of the knife is engraved with cloud patterns, the whole body is pitch black and dull, and the system is simple.

"It's ugly. The Governor commented.

"Ning'er bring your short sword. ”

Hua Ning hurriedly handed it over.

The state lord took his hand and looked at it carefully before saying, "It's good-looking." ”

"Well, it's good-looking. "Luo Buyi agrees with the state lord's opinion, Hua Ning's short sword is indeed good-looking.

The state lord put the two divine soldiers together, compared them, and shook his head.

Luo Buyi sighed, it seems that Hua Ning's sister estimates that she can't look down on the black knife.

A "bang" sounded, and it turned out that the state lord gently waved his short sword, and a crack on the ground was bottomless, and a layer of ice condensed at the edge of the crack.

Hua Ning was excited: "Sister is so amazing!"

The state lord nodded, and seemed to like Hua Ning's praise. With the other hand, he raised the black knife and swung it to the ground...

Nothing happened, not even a sound of slashing.

The proprietress of Huayun covered her mouth with a handkerchief on the side, for fear that she would laugh.

The state lord frowned secretly, but he didn't expect that this black knife was at a higher level than Hua Ning's dual swords. She forcibly used Hua Ning's short sword with ground-level cultivation, and a little force could stimulate part of the power of the short sword, and because of the blood of Qinghua, the power was not small, but the black knife didn't buy it at all, giving her the feeling that it was like a three-year-old doll holding a broken wooden knife, without any power, you must know that with her cultivation, even a piece of broken iron can sharpen iron like clay.

Throwing the black knife back to Luo Buyi, he handed the short sword that still exuded cold air to Hua Ning, and said, "Very good divine soldier." ”

"Uh-huh, thank you, sister. Hua Ning's eyes were shining.

Luo Buyi took the black knife, sealed it with a charm again, and handed it to Hua Ning.

"Now that the weapon is complete, although it is not as good as yours, it is indeed my best and most important thing, give it to you. ”

"Ahh

"Luo Buyi, I am very happy that you gave me a token, and I don't care if it is a broken iron rod or a ground-level divine soldier, in short, I am very happy. Hua Ning took Luo Buyi's hand and said softly: "You give me the most precious, I will also give you the most precious, in my eyes, this black knife is far more precious than these short swords, so I give it to you, you keep it for me, don't lose it, okay?

We don't distinguish each other, do we?

"Okay!" Luo Buyi raised his head, the corners of his mouth smiling, and his eyes were gentle.

The state lord glanced at Luo Buyi fixedly, and said: "There is no need to do this, if you and Ning Er are really affectionate, you don't need to rely on this thing to maintain, if you are ruthless, how can this thing be precious." ”

It turns out that there will be affection, and it will be ruthless.

This sentence is a bit heavy, but there is also some truth, Luo Buyi slowly withdrew the knife, put it behind his back again, lowered his head, and thought thoughtfully.

Hua Ning glanced at her own sister who was stirring up the situation with disgust, and took Luo Buyi's hand but didn't let go.

Emotional problems, where can others do the master, or let them solve it by themselves, Hua Yun has a feeling.

"Congratulations to the two of you on the completion of their merits and the joy of the divine soldiers, but I also ask you to name the divine soldiers as soon as possible, so as to calm the hearts of the divine soldiers, otherwise the breath of the divine soldiers will overflow, but I don't know what trouble it will bring. Jia Han is now most of his mind, and he only feels refreshed.

"I'm self-reflecting. The state lord glanced at the short sword in Hua Ning's hand, and then looked up at the sky, is it snowing?

A ball of meat jumped over outside the door, and knelt down in front of the state lord: "The lower official knocks to see the state lord." ”

Followed by Tan Gang and others, kneeling on one knee: "Meet the Lord of Qingzhou." ”

They do not belong to the state government system, so naturally they do not have to perform full courtesy.

"Well, hard work. A polite remark, but Tan Gang and the four of them were extremely happy.

Standing on the side, even the standing posture is much more energetic, it is not easy to get a word of praise from the state lord, and this state lord is still a prefecture-level master, which is even more satisfying.

"What's the matter with you. "Lord Governor found that Fu Tianming, the city lord of Sunny Rain City, was still kneeling on the ground.

Hehe smiled, Fu Tianming said: "Lord Governor, the official asked to change the name of this Sunny Rain City, you see that it is snowing here, and it is a little inappropriate to call it Sunny Rain City." ”

"Oh, you mean it's not nice to dislike me for getting a name, do you? or do you want to change this Sunny and Rainy City to Sunny and Snowy City?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Poor Master Fu kowtowed again.

"Originally, I thought it was time to change the name, but now I have to wait a year before I can change the name of the city again. ”

"The lower official obeys the order!" Master Fu wanted to cry without tears, and lifted a stone to hit his own feet. Don't you just want to change the name of the city to match your own wisdom and martial arts, why is it so difficult!

The state lord flicked his sleeves and walked out the door.

"Congratulations to the Governor!" everyone said in unison.

"Slow down, how about going to my small restaurant for a drink or two?"

Then Luo Buyi and Hua Ning left hand in hand, one holding a white short sword in his hand, biting his ear softly.

Everywhere you go, the snow gives way.
