Summary of this chapter: The beggars in Luoxia Town talk about the sword, and they are looking for the beauty of the store and the hero.

It should be Chen, the people of Qimen Village are busy drying the valley, and almost no one walks up Tiangang Mountain.

In the dense forest halfway up the mountainside, there was a man who was sleeping soundly, and when he looked closely, he saw that the man's robe was tattered and bloodstained, and he had clearly fainted. He seemed to have dreamed of some terrible scene, sweating profusely, kicking his legs wildly, and this toss made him "plop" and fall from the tree. But he didn't notice it, and continued to struggle on the ground covered with fallen leaves.

Seeing this, a man in the distance hurried over and woke him up.

He opened his eyes in a daze, first noticing a pair of frosty eyebrows, then an anxious face.

The man asked him, "Do you remember who you are?" ”

He replied, "My name is ...... Belch...... Tai Shi Chong ......"

The man asked, "Do you know who I am?" ”

Tai Shi Chong thought for a while and said, "You are my senior brother, called ...... Jiang Hanshan ......"

Jiang Hanshan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, I didn't fall stupid." ”

Jiang Hanshan helped Tai Shi Chong sit up, Tai Shi Chong felt sore, and then remembered that he had been slashed, and hurriedly touched his shoulder, but his shoulder was not scarred.

Did you remember wrong? Tai Shi Chong touched the other shoulder, which was also intact. When he looked again, he found that there were no external injuries except for back pain and leg cramps. He shook his head, looked at the top of the mountain, and suddenly stood up as if he had been struck by lightning, shaking Jiang Hanshan's shoulders frantically: "Senior brother, the home is gone, the master is gone......"

He poured out last night's events one by one, incoherently, and gestured with his hands and feet, regardless of whether Jiang Hanshan could understand his expression, Jiang Hanshan's face was like ashes, Tai Shi Chong had finished talking for a long time, and he didn't want to believe the news.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Hanshan, who has always been strong, opened his mouth and cried bitterly, and the brothers hugged each other tightly, hugging their relatives who would depend on each other in the future.

After the grief, Jiang Hanshan recounted what had happened and asked, "Little junior brother, after you were thrown into the valley, you were unconscious, so you didn't see Master killed with your own eyes, right?" ”

Tai Shi Chong shook his head and said, "At that time, the master was already dying, and it was very easy for them to kill the master. "Tai Shi Chong didn't know about last night's big explosion, but even so, they knew that Master was very lucky.

"By the way, Senior Brother, where did you and the Third Senior Brother go last night?" Tai Shi Chong asked.

Jiang Hanshan recalled: "Yesterday, the master asked me, the second junior brother and the seventeenth junior sister to assign a task to the three of us. Since they were talking separately, I didn't know what they were tending to. Master told me to go to Luoxia Town to find a person named Xiao Yin. At the mention of Han Jingyun, the expressions of the two of them were a little gloomy.

After a while, Taishi rushed back to his senses, and then nodded, and the master had also instructed him to find Xiao Yin last night.

"When I was about to go down the mountain, the third junior brother pestered me to go with me, and I couldn't resist him, so I agreed."

"The third senior brother is extremely courageous, with him, the senior brother will be much easier," Tai Shi Chong said.

"It's a pity that we didn't find Xiao Yin, when we came back, we met a group of scoundrels beating a beggar in the downtown area, and we wanted to go forward to persuade us to fight, but we were scattered by the crowd."

"After I finished dealing with things, I thought that the third junior brother should have returned to the Thunder Palace, so I rushed back, but somehow, the more I walked, the more dizzy I became, and I fell asleep on the side of the road unconsciously." Jiang Hanshan smirked.

Tai Shi Chong had a solemn expression, it seems that the black shadow last night was really drugged, and not only the disciples of the Thunder Palace, but even the people along the mountain were fascinated, no wonder there was such a big disturbance last night, and the people of Qimen Village didn't notice it.

But why weren't he and Han Jingyun fascinated?

"When I woke up, it was already dark, and when I hurried back, I saw a woman in yellow flying from the mountain, still covered with a tattered black cloth, and after a while, I saw a masked man walking with two people in a hurry, looking panicked, I asked them, but they didn't answer......"

Tai Shi Chong knew that the so-called black cloth was actually a black shadow, but what happened later to make the black shadow hurt so badly that he had to let Shangguan Lingmeng carry it before he could barely leave?

Tai Shi Chong and Jiang Hanshan kowtowed three times in the direction of the Thunder Hall on the top of the mountain, and turned to leave.

"Huh...... Ay! Tai Shi Chong tripped over a big heel and fell in embarrassment, and when he looked back, he found a metallic sheen hidden in the fallen leaves.

He ripped the leaves open, and a dark purple sword appeared in front of him. He faintly recalled that Master's Shenzhou Sword accidentally fell last night, and as soon as he touched this sword, the sword faded its golden pattern and was dyed dark purple.

Tai Shi Chong had no clue, and Jiang Hanshan didn't know why.

"Forget it, let's go down the mountain first." Jiang Hanshan glanced at the sword and said to Tai Shi Chong.

After walking for about an hour, a bustling town appeared in front of them, Tai Shi Chong had never seen such a scene, and everything felt fresh to see. At the end of the day, it was time for people to have lunch. Tai Shi Chong and Jiang Hanshan touched their stomachs and looked up at a restaurant.

Jiang Hanshan took out his silver bag and said happily: "Fortunately, I still have some silver taels left, and the money for a meal is still enough." ”

In fact, Tai Shi Chong still has a full ten taels of silver in his pocket, which is the New Year's money that Shuai Tianshi has given him in the past ten years, one tael a year, and told him to carry it in his pocket in case of emergency. But he won't tell Jiang Hanshan about this, and he can leave a little silver taels, which can be regarded as a thought.

When they stepped into the restaurant, they saw that there were many diners and the seats were full, but the juniors were also very busy, after all, the business of the restaurant was good, and their living standards could be higher than those of ordinary restaurant guys.

A shopkeeper looked at them, and at first glance, Taishi Chong was in tatters, and there was a little bloodstain, but Jiang Hanshan was dressed decently and looked dignified, but it looked like a jailer brought a prisoner to eat guillotine wine.

But then again, how can anyone eat guillotine to come to such a high-end restaurant. Anyway, there is no reason for the business to be sent to the door, and the shopkeeper was just stunned, so he hurriedly greeted them: "Please come in the guest officer, there are no empty seats in our small shop for the time being, and please take care of the two more, the villain will first move two stools for the guest officer and make a pot of tea." ”

Tai Shi Chong and Jiang Hanshan didn't have any opinions, and sat down to observe the restaurant. The people who can come here to eat are either officials or businessmen, and most of them are personalities in the town, so they naturally look down on these shopkeepers and drink around. The little two are extremely humble, and they have long been accustomed to the insults and teasing of the diners, and they bend over not only on their backs, but also in their hearts.

Tai Shi Chong couldn't help but sigh, people in this world are divided into three, six, nine and so on, but they always have to support their families, and for people like them who are poor, dignity is a very luxurious thing.

Tai Shi Chong asked himself, if it were him, would he have the courage to let go of his dignity?

These people at the bottom of society, do they still have the ability to bully others?

The door opened again, and a beggar staggered in, covered in dust and blood, and bruised and purple, but this was quite normal for people in their profession.

Jiang Hanshan said coldly: "He is the beggar I saved yesterday. ”

A shopkeeper looked at the beggar with disdain: "Yo, our store is doing well today, I'm afraid there is no leftover food for you to eat." ”

The beggar snorted with a look of pleasure: "I don't have anything to eat, but I can smell it full." ”

"Whatever you want." The shopkeeper bypassed the beggar and didn't let him pounce on his clothes: "This body of rice is fragrant, but you can spoil it." ”

"Look at the dots!" A guest officer next to the shopkeeper said: "The plate is for serving vegetables, not for your bad luck!" ”

"The guest officer is a lesson!" The shopkeeper nodded.

After all, the smell is not full, and the more you smell it, the more hungry you become, and after a while, the beggar stopped the shopkeeper: "The tea in your store is free, right?" ”

"Water is free, but tea is not." The shopkeeper seemed to be deliberately taunting him, and handed the teapot to Jiang Hanshan respectfully.

"Then bring me a jug of boiled water." The beggar retreated to the second.

"Boiled water is burned with charcoal, you have to give me the charcoal money first."

"So, a pot of raw water is always fine, right?"

"There is a lot of raw water in the river, you can drink as much as you want." The shopkeeper didn't bother to entangle with him, and walked away quickly.

Just as a table of guests got up to settle the bill, the shopkeeper hurriedly beckoned Tai Shichong and Jiang Hanshan to take a seat, and then threw the tips paid by the guests into the tube, and did not forget to mock the beggar: "You said yourself, have you ever earned more money from begging in your life than these tips?" ”

"Alas, why deceive people too much!" Tai Shi Chong shook his head, turned around and looked at Jiang Hanshan with a pleading gaze.

Jiang Hanshan naturally knew what he was thinking, and nodded: "Help people to the end, it should be." ”

Tai Shi rushed to the beggar and beckoned, and the beggar hurried over and sat down beside Tai Shi Chong unceremoniously.

"What are you doing here? I asked you to come over and didn't say I would invite you to dinner, huh? What if it's a reward for a bite of leftovers? "Tai Shi Chong is angry and funny.

"The guest officer's table hasn't served yet, and the guest officer called me, presumably not to let me eat leftovers." The beggar replied.

"Oh, we asked you to come and watch us eat." Jiang Hanshan said with a smile.

"Isn't this the big brother Jiang from yesterday? Do your heels still hurt? ”

"Senior brother, are you injured?" Taishi hurriedly asked.

Jiang Hanshan talked and laughed on the surface, but in his heart he was surprised, thinking that when he was fighting with the gangsters who bullied the beggars yesterday, he kicked and broke the horseshoe of a horse, and stepped on a piece of debris when he left. But Jiang Hanshan was a dancer after all, and he only frowned, but he didn't expect such a small detail to be discovered by the beggar.

When the food was served, the beggar disregarded the etiquette at all, picked up the bowl and ate it, and licked it when he was finished, so that the bowl showed the beggar's dirty face.

Tai Shi Chong began to understand a little why the beggar was beaten, and the poor man must have something to hate.

Jiang Hanshan has already begun to think about kicking out the beggars.

The beggar saw the two of them, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, I'll send you two a hexagram, how about it?" ”

"You'd better keep it and give it to someone else." Jiang Hanshan said coldly, get up and leave, Tai Shi Chong also hurriedly followed.

The beggar was quick and grabbed the corner of Tai Shi Chong's clothes, Tai Shi Chong frowned slightly, considering that his clothes had no skills, so he let the other party drag them away.

"Does the guest know about his sword?" With a word, the beggar successfully stopped Tai Shi Chong's footsteps.

"I want to hear about it." Tai Shi Chong was curious about this question, but at the same time he had little hope for the beggar's credibility.

"Little junior brother, you can look for me outside the restaurant in a quarter of an hour." Jiang Hanshan left in a hurry and told Tai Shi Chong not to entangle with this beggar for too long.

Tai Shi Chong was very strange, why did the senior brother leave in such a hurry.

"Like a frightened horse." The beggar seemed to have guessed Tai Shi Chong's mind and said beside him.

"Sir, do you have any opinion of my sword?" It is not that Tai Shi Chong deliberately elevates the beggar, but that he is polite to outsiders, which is the experience and lesson he summed up in Qimen Village.

"The guest officer is the holder of the Heavenly Machine Stone?" The beggar asked.

Tai Shi Chong nodded, although the Tianji Stone on his neck was hidden in his underwear, it was not difficult to see after all.

"That's right." The beggar smiled and said, "Your sword is called 'Shenzhou', the sword body is made of Chaos Primordial Iron, it was originally black, and it is painted with white patterns, and the beads on the gauntlet are originally transparent, bringing together the heaven and earth aura of the twelve Heavenly Machine Stones, and only those who have the Heavenly Machine Stone can use it." ”

"Why do you say it's possible?" Tai Shi Chong asked.

"Because even if you have the Tianji Stone, the sword may not recognize you as its master, once the sword recognizes the owner, it will automatically be dyed with the color of the Tianji Stone worn by the master, and the guest officer is so young that he can have such an artifact, which is really admirable."

Tai Shi Chong was thoughtful, but he still couldn't understand how he could be favored by the Shenzhou Sword.

"Sir, allow me to take my leave!" Taishi Chong estimated that the time was about to come, so he arched his hand at the beggar and went out to find Jiang Hanshan.

"Wait!" The beggar stopped him, took out a dirty little bottle from his pocket, and said to him, "I think you'll use this." ”

Taishi didn't ask what was in it, so he put it in his pocket and left.

In front of the door, Jiang Hanshan was staring at his feet, as if he was in a bad mood, and when he saw Tai Shi Chong, he cheered up and pulled out a smile.

"Little junior brother, your clothes are too disrespectful, it is difficult to cover your shame, you don't have to talk about the cold, senior brother will take you to buy a dress, how about it?"

Tai Shi Chong looked at Jiang Hanshan's shriveled silver bag, looked at his dress, and nodded with the concept of "money is a bastard, let's earn it after spending it".

In fact, there was no shortage of merchants who bought cloth along the way, but first, they couldn't afford to consume this gorgeous cloth, and secondly, Tai Shichong couldn't bear to look at these poor people, and intended to take care of the business of the small storefront. After going back and forth, they found a precarious shop in the northernmost part of Luoxia Town.

The owner of the shop was an old lady who got busy when she learned of their intentions. The eldest lady is over half a hundred years old but her demeanor has not diminished, she is diligent and neat in her work, Jiang Hanshan is also relieved enough, so she let Taishi Chong wait, he went around to see if there was any news of Xiao Yin.

Tai Shi Chong had nothing to do, so he looked around, and inadvertently glanced at the room behind the old lady, but he happened to meet a cold gaze.

Tai Shi Chong looked carefully, and suddenly felt that his whole body was cold and unbearable, and he hurriedly used his true qi to ward off the cold. He expected that there was a master hidden in the room, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

As if sensing his gaze, a young girl slowly walked in the room, with a delicate face, a pair of cold eyes, a light blue long skirt, with a layer of fluttering gauze, the straps moved in the wind, the pace was light and fast, really like the legendary fairy figure. Tai Shi Chong felt that the appearance of Senior Sister Seventeen and Shangguan Lingmeng was difficult to compare with her.

But when this woman spoke, she seemed unkind.

"Miss Ben's boudoir is also something you can peep into? Under the banner of buying cloth to satisfy your own thief eyebrows, what is the difference between you and those thieves who are expensive! ”

What is it, I just inadvertently glanced at it a few times, where did I know that this is her boudoir, and it will be winter in a blink of an eye, this woman still has such a strong fire!

The old lady also put down the work at hand and stared at Tai Shi Chong tightly, and for a while, Tai Shi Chong felt that he had a hard time arguing.

"Eh, I said how can you two untouchables survive for a long time, it turns out that such a rat is secretly helping you." An unfamiliar voice came, and with intuition, Tai Shi Chong sensed that there was a knife that went straight to the back of his head.
