Chapter 499: Take it seriously
On the second day, Shao Xi got up early in the morning, but he didn't plan to go to Xinjing Teahouse too early, because going too early would make him feel a little anxious, and this kind of thing must be stabilized.
The reason why I got up early was to keep a clear head and prepare everything that should be prepared, after all, the first time I came into contact with the Ghost Emperor's Mansion, although Shao Xi had no fear of it, he always had to be cautious in everything.
Shao Xi first checked the equipment on his body, but he didn't expect that he had only been in the Central Plains for a year, and now he was a baby.
In addition to the Liuyun Sword on his waist, the first thing is the gold silk soft armor "soft gold entanglement" worn on his body, and the protection is needless to say.
The second is the stainless steel folding fan that Tang Qing gave to Tang Ming at the beginning, which can be used as both a weapon and a defense, and Shao Xi has always been able to fan it.
The black whale sea boots on the feet are given by the yarn girl, and the benefits of these boots are needless to say, I am afraid that I can wear them for a lifetime.
The soft sword and jade belt given by Lu Dianqing on Lingyu Mountain, the silver silk hand armor given by Liu Yanyi and the bronze heart guard given by Du Wenshu are all high-quality treasures, especially the silver wire hand armor and the bronze heart guard, which are used to save life at critical moments.
The silver silk armor on the left hand is equipped with an arrow in the sleeve, the front goggle is equipped with insinuations, and the back goggle is equipped with a crossbow on the back.
The cowhide waist bag that was temporarily found to hang on the waist contained a Hades post and two heavenly maiden scattered flowers, which could be taken at any time.
This treasure is enough for Shao Xi to deal with most unexpected situations, if he doesn't meet the top master, I am afraid it will really take a lot of effort to take Shao Xi's life.
Fortunately, these things on the body are very light and easy to carry, especially the left and right layers on the body, if the weight is too heavy, Shao Xi would have thrown it at home and would rather not bring it.
After checking the things he wanted to carry, Shao Xi went to the firewood room in the backyard to say hello to Lao Wu.
This time, I went to talk about business with the Ghost Emperor's Mansion, it was not an easy thing to say, others didn't tell me, but this matter must be known to Lao Wu.
In case he really has an accident, at least this big family will have Lao Wu to take care of him.
But when Lao Wu heard that Shao Xi was going to meet the Ghost Emperor's Mansion for a while, he opened his mouth and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, you have grown your skills now, haven't you?" You've never mentioned such an important matter to me, and now you came to tell me about it?
"Do you know who the people are in the Ghost Emperor's Mansion? Are you tired of going recklessly? The Ghost Emperor's Mansion is full of murderous demons, don't think that you can have no scruples now that you have entered the 'Qi Transformation Realm'.
"That 'Impermanent Judge' Shen Bu has been in the 'Transformation Qi Realm' for many years, martial arts must be above you, you just run to test the details of others, once people are noticed, do you think you can get a bargain?
"You made your own decision without consulting with me, do you think that my old guy is now a burden and useless to you? Your kid is getting more and more right now, and he can make his own decisions about everything, right? ”
Shao Xi didn't expect Lao Wu to have such a big reaction to this matter, although it was indeed a bit risky to go to explore the details of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion, but he never expected Lao Wu's reaction to be so intense.
Shao Xi hurriedly apologized with a hippie smile: "Don't don't, don't!" Don't move such a big liver fire! I know it's wrong for me not to have consulted you in advance about this matter, but if I had told you in advance, would you still have agreed?
"This is a rare opportunity to find out the details of the other party, although there are some risks, but I also know it myself, I have made all preparations for this matter, I know that you old guy cares about me, but you don't have to worry too much about this matter.
"I went to meet them for a while under the guise of talking about business with the Ghost Emperor's Mansion, and I have enough chips in my hand to negotiate terms with them, and they won't do anything to me easily.
"Besides, I haven't learned any other skills from you since I was a child, who in the world can be better than me in the ability to escape? Can't we run if we can't beat it? Don't worry about it, watch it for me at home, there are still a lot of things to discuss with you later! ”
Although Lao Wu still had a bearded and glaring expression, his tone of voice softened.
"Stinky boy, don't blame me for not reminding you, the deal of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion is not something that anyone can talk about!
"It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that even if you have a life-seeking card in your hand, if you want to meet with the 'impermanent judge' Shen Bugai to discuss business, you have to pass through the Lechuan River, Nai He Bridge, Sansheng Stone and the other side of the four passes.
"I know that it shouldn't be too difficult to pass these four levels with your kid's current ability, but in the face of Shen Buchang, if you show a flaw in half a sentence, he will definitely attack you, don't forget his nickname is Impermanent Judge.
"What these demons in the Netherworld are thinking in their heads may not be something you can guess, although they usually collect money to kill people, but there are times when they don't collect money, that is when they want to kill people.
"I also know that you have always been cautious, and I am not sure that you will not try, but I still have to advise you to do it yourself, if the situation is not right, you can slip away, don't be stubborn and fill with any big cloves of garlic."
Shao Xi knew that Lao Wu was not alarmist, just from the name of the Ghost Emperor Mansion, he knew who the people in this organization were!
A group of people who don't do it and have to be ghosts are not evil ghosts in the yang world?
Lao Wu instructed himself like this, it can be seen that this ghost emperor's mansion has been notorious among the rivers and lakes for many years.
The general martial arts sect has a master of the "Qi Transformation Realm", and it can have a very high status in the martial arts, if there is an eight-grade ancestor, it is the top sect in the martial arts.
As for the Tianqiong Ancestor of Tianqiong Mountain, people don't bother to be included in the martial arts sect at all, and all of them who are on the nine grades are outside the world, and they are too lazy to compete for those secular rankings.
Therefore, it is conceivable that such a killer organization as the Ghost Emperor Mansion actually has a master of the "Transformation Qi Realm" like Shen Bugai, and the status of the Ghost Emperor Mansion in the Jianghu martial arts is indeed not to be underestimated.
And the reputation of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion has not been around for a day or two, I don't know how far Shen Buchang's martial arts have entered the realm now?
In short, Lao Wu is right, he still has to be very careful when facing Shen Buchang, after all, he can only be regarded as a rookie at most in the "Transformation of Qi Realm", and he has no chance of winning in the face of a real "Transformation of Qi Realm" master.
"Don't worry! Lao Wu, I have memorized all your instructions, I will be 10,000 careful when I go this time, even if things can't be done, I promise you that I will come back safely, don't worry too much about me, I will improvise. ”
Lao Wu also knew that if Shao Xi, this kid, didn't let him go, he would be so uncomfortable that he died, since he couldn't stop him, he could only remind him more and let him be more careful.
At this time, seeing that Shao Xi had already said this, he didn't bother to care about him anymore, so he waved his hand and said: "You just know, I can't stop you, anyway, don't be too childish, not you can take advantage of everything, don't suffer this trip even if you pick it up." ”
Shao Xi knew that Lao Wu was worried about himself from the bottom of his heart, so he nodded very seriously and said, "I have written down your words, and I will definitely go home before dark." ”
Lao Wu nodded and didn't say anything more, turned around and entered the firewood room.
If he said that he wasn't worried about it, it was fake, but he didn't want to put too much pressure on Shao Xi before he left, he just hoped that Shao Xi wouldn't be too careless on this trip.
It was a decision he made to take Shao Xi back to the Central Plains to avenge the Feng family, and he didn't want to regret it because of this decision.
Although a lot of things have happened in the past year since returning to the Central Plains, Shao Xi has been too smooth on the whole, although he has also experienced a desperate situation like Wulong Mountain, but most of the time Shao Xi has resolved many crises with his own cleverness.
It seems that every time things can be solved smoothly, this will inevitably give him some kind of illusion, that is, there is nothing he can't solve, and this illusion will often kill people.
Once he really encounters something he can't solve, it may leave him at a loss and unable to deal with it, and if that's the case, he can only wait for death.
So Lao Wu's repeated reminders were to tell him that not everything in this world is something he can handle easily, and not all people are something he can handle.
When faced with unknown people and things, you should have a reverent and cautious attitude, only in this way can you live longer.
After getting along with Lao Wu for so many years, Shao Xi knows very well that Lao Wu is rarely so serious, which shows that Lao Wu is very jealous of the Ghost Emperor Mansion in his heart, and it also proves that the Ghost Emperor Mansion is not as simple as he imagined.
Looking at the back of Lao Wu returning to the firewood room, Shao Xi felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Even if he is now a high-ranking man with a lot of money, in the eyes of Lao Wu, he is still the naughty child who makes him break his heart.
Although Lao Wu's mouth was scolding, he knew that Lao Wu was more worried about his safety than anyone else, so he couldn't do anything anyway, and he had to return home before dark anyway.
Not for anything else, just to let the person who cares about him feel at ease.
Shao Xi looked up at the sun, and estimated in his heart that the hour was almost up, so he asked Liu Fu to lead the horses and set off for Xinjing Teahouse alone.
When Shao Xi rode his horse away, he didn't know that Lao Wu was standing on the roof of the house and watching his leaving figure from a distance, with a worried look on his face.
Watching Shao Xi's figure disappear, Lao Wu let out a long sigh, sat on the ridge of the house and took a sip of wine.
In the past year, he and Shao Xi have experienced many crises together, and the only thing that made Lao Wu so worried was the one in Wulong Mountain.
Now Lao Wu faintly had an ominous premonition in his heart, he was afraid that Shao Xi would face a life-and-death catastrophe like Wulong Mountain again, after all, he was now facing an opponent whose martial arts realm was much higher than him.
The last time he had an accident in Wulong Mountain, it was because he had a hot head and almost lost his life when he confronted Liu Duo, whose martial arts realm was higher than his own.
Now is different from the past, at the beginning, he only faced Liu Duo in Wulong Mountain with six grades, but now he has to face Shen Buchang is a master of the "Qi Transformation Realm".
As for whether Shen Bugai is now the seventh grade or the eighth grade, Lao Wu can't say for sure, after all, this person is too mysterious, and few people really know his details, only knowing that he was already a "Qi Transformation Realm" many years ago.
After so many years, no one would feel strange even if he reached the eighth grade, and this person was the person Shao Xi was facing today.
I hope this child can have a longer memory now, and become a little smarter when he faces Shen Buchang.
