Chapter 21: A Chance Encounter with the Xiahou Clan

Xia Wushen said: "Sister Qingyi, we haven't arrived for two years, why can't you recognize me?" ”

Qing Yi looked him up and down and said, "You are now stronger than before, but your appearance has not changed much, but this white hair is really eye-catching, and it is difficult to recognize you for a while." ”

While the meal was being eaten lively, Xia Wushen's face suddenly changed color, he stopped eating, and listened with his ears.

Qing Yi was stunned for a moment, didn't know what was going on, and was about to say something to ask, but he heard him already say: "Someone is coming, and the person who comes is quite good." It's really unexpected, in the wilderness of this ancient fish country, there are such powerful characters! ”

Qing Yi snorted, and was very unconvinced: "Heh, this kid has learned some kung fu, but he can pretend." ”

She pursed her lips and asked, "Ninety-four, how far have you cultivated now?" Is there a foundation to be built...... Well, when I was running on the road, I saw that you were extraordinary, it was time to reach the Gathering Spirit Realm, right? ”

Xia Wushen said: "Sister Qingyi, what you said is light. I'm still a short time in practice, but I'm just building a foundation. ”

Qing Yi shook her head, disbelieving herself, and said, "You want to lie to me again?" When I see you running and sprinting, your movements are very agile and neat, and I have seen a lot of foundation building realms, and I have never had such endurance as you. ”

Xia Wushen said: "I don't know much about this, and the master didn't teach me." Probably because Master once gave me a pill, so that's it. ”

"There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people. Your master is a master in the world, and it is not uncommon to have this magic medicine. Qing Yi sighed, "Building a foundation is the beginning of cultivation, and after gathering spirits, the golden pill will be produced, and then you can be called a god on the mountain." How long the road of cultivation is, Ninety-four, although your skills are profound, the realm is only to build a foundation, don't slack off. ”

Xia Wushen nodded and said, "Well, I know." Sister Qingyi, what is your current state? ”

Qing Yi's face was pale, and she grinned: "Hehe, do you want to know?" I won't tell you who told you to tease me. ”

When he didn't say much, there was a sound of knocking footsteps, and then a rough and heroic voice came: "Bartender, is the proprietress there?" ”

Qingyi and the others followed the voice, only to see a rather thin figure slowly walking in.

This man was in his thirties, very tall, with a full beard, a large golden ring hanging from one ear, a lion's nose and a wide mouth, and a boatman's dress, and his appearance was quite fierce and strange.

Qing Yi saw that this person was pretending to be very strange, stuck out his tongue, and said in a low voice, "Is this the person you are talking about?" I look at him as a strange looker, not at all like what you call a master. ”

Although Xia Wushen didn't like his appearance, it was better to think more than less, so he only said in a deep voice: "People can't look good, and don't say much." ”

Qing Yi glanced at him, snorted lightly, and pouted: "If you don't say it, don't say it, who cares about you." ”

The man walked over to a table and sat down, and shouted, "Bartender, is the hostess there?" ”

The bartender came over and said with a smile: "The boss lady has not returned from abroad, I don't know if Mr. is looking for the boss lady?" ”

The man shook his head and said in disappointment, "Then did she say where she went and when she will come back?" ”

The bartender said, "Oh, you're really good at laughing." The whereabouts of the proprietress are what our little ones can know. ”

The man muttered, "That's just as well." Needless to say, you know where she's going. But when she wasn't there, I went alone. Hmph, forgive a small ancient fish country, what master can there be? ”

Qing Yi said in a low voice: "Little Jiusi, this person's mouth is also a little bigger. Although this ancient fish country is not as strong as my Jiang country, which spans nearly 100,000 miles, it is much stronger than small countries such as poor people. He actually said that it was a 'small ancient fish country', so he really thought he was the head of a faction? ”

Xia Wushen was secretly shocked: "Listening to his accent, the north and the south are mixed, I really can't imagine where he came from?" Its voice is from far and near, and it can still be heard so clearly, and its cultivation is so high that I have only seen a few people such as Master and Master Chen who can win it. ”

Xia Wushen groaned: "For more than a year, I have traveled all over the Chu country and made many friends. I often hear them talk about the Nine Heavens Ethereal Tower of our Chu State, as well as the Wulin City of Jiang State and other major sects, which are the leaders of the world's cultivation. This person's cultivation is so good, I think he is also from a certain sect, but I don't know which faction? ”

Qing Yi said: "Is the reputation of my Jiang Kingdom's martial arts city also very famous?" How did I never know? Xiao Jiusi, tell me quickly, what are the top sects. ”

Xia Wushen was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Sister Qingyi, don't you know these things when you walk the rivers and lakes?" ”

Qing Yi looked dazed, shook his head, and said, "This...... I really haven't heard of this ......, when I was in Jiang Kingdom, I only saw a few times when I was overhauled by Yuanying! When I came to the ancient fish country, I only thought about finding the December flower earlier, but I didn't know anything else. ”

Xia Wushen's mind turned around, Deng Jue was relieved, and said with a smile: "I thought that the prestige of such a sect as the Nine Heavens Ethereal Tower must be known to women and children, but it turned out that it was not at all. Sister Qingyi, you are from Jiang Country, don't you even know about Wulin City? ”

Qingyi's face was slightly red, speechless for a while, and said, "If you don't know, you don't know, what's so strange about this?" Hmph, if you were just an ordinary person, would you know how many eggs the old hen in the village next door to your house laid today? ”

She secretly thought to herself in her heart: "Listening to what he said, this martial arts city is very powerful, but it is the leader of my Jiang country's martial arts, why did I never know?" My father often told me about the story of the kingdom, but why did he never hear him mention it? ”

Xia Wushen was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Sister Qingyi is so unreasonable. I just asked casually, but she was making a fuss. However, it is interesting to see which sects she compares to the old hens. ”

While speaking, the man had ordered ten catties of liquor and two catties of yellow beef. The bartender poured him a large bowl of wine and ignored it.

He didn't care at all, he just grabbed the beef with his hands and ate it, ate a few pieces of meat, and drank a bowl of wine, but in a moment's effort, more than half of the ten catties of liquor were gone.

Qing Yi was speechless and said, "Seeing that he is thin and weak, how can he drink so much?" I often hear people say that thieves are rampant in the ancient fish country, but they are all such people who drink and meat. Hey, the wine is chaotic and really harmful. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the man seemed to be looking at this side intentionally or unintentionally, so he stopped talking.

Qing Yi is straight, she couldn't hide her words in her heart, looked at the man for a while, and said in a low voice: "Ninety-four, look at this person, look at the appearance, like the kind of boatman who lives at sea all the year round, but there is no fishy smell unique to the boatman at all!" ”

Before Xia Wushen could answer, the man turned his head, glanced at Qing Yi, and said, "Little girl, you are lonely and unheard!" Not all boatmen in the world have that fishy smell. If you knew who I am and what ship I sail, you wouldn't have that thought. ”

Qingyi shouted: "Girl, girl, where are there any big girls and little girls here." According to you, you don't have a few taels of flesh all over your body, should I tell you to be fat and sail a boat, or is it better to be thin and sail a boat? ”

The man and Xia Wushen were both stunned, both speechless, and secretly praised: "This girl, her words are not sharp." ”

The man glanced at Xia Wushen and pondered: "Look at these two, husband and wife are not like husband and wife, and brother and sister are not like brother and sister. Although the man is only in the foundation building realm, his inner strength is strong and profound, and even the spirit gathering realm is rarely matched. Especially a pair of eyes are golden, but I don't know what kind of exercises are being cultivated? This woman is also an unusual person, and I can't even see through her cultivation. Listening to her accent, it should be from Jiang Guo, what are you doing here? Said: "In Xiaxia Hou Chuxin, I don't know the names of the two high surnames?" ”

Qing Yi said: "My name is Qing Yi, is he...... He is my brother......" Turning his head to look at Xia Wushen, seeing that he did not refute, he said happily, "My brother's name is Xia Wushen." ”

Xiahou Chuxin couldn't help but be secretly angry in his heart: "Listening to your two accents, one is from Jiang and the other is from Chu, and they actually told me that they are brothers and sisters, is it really easy for me Xiahou Chuxin to deceive?" ”

He shook his head and muttered, "No, no, the two of them have blood fluctuations that are very similar, but they are not related by blood, what is going on?" ”

Qing Yi saw that he was distracted, and shouted, "Hey, Xiahou Chuxin, what are you talking about?" Yes, you just said that your boat is very special, can you tell us about it? ”

Xiahou Chuxin said proudly: "My ship? That's unusual. Little girl, let me ask you, have you ever heard of big ships, small boats, good ships, and rotten ships, but have you ever heard of a flying ship? ”

Qing Yi was stunned for a moment, but she didn't think so: "Could it be that your boat has no size, good or bad?" He shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this." ”

Xiahou Chuxin said: "I don't want to be in the world for more than 100 years, you mortals will forget about me completely." I couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, looking quite disappointed.

Xia Wushen was shocked in his heart: "The life of a mortal is extremely short, and it has always been rare for seventy years of life, and those who have expired are even less like the morning star." Among the monks, only the golden pill can only be used to increase longevity. Since Jindan, it has increased its longevity for a hundred years, a thousand years for the first child, and a thousand years for the road. I heard this person say that he has not been in the world for more than 100 years, could it be that he is not from a certain sect, but what is it, no wonder he has this cultivation? ”

Xiahou Chuxin saw that Qingyi and the others did not speak, but said that they were stunned, and said, "Little girl, do you and your brother want to go to my boat to have a look?" ”

Although it was an inquiry, the tone was very arrogant.

Qingyi shook her head and said, "I really want to go, but I have something important to do this time, but I can't delay, so I'll bother another day." ”

Xiahou Chuxin shook his head in disappointment and sighed, "Hey! You say it's another day, but it's just a prevarication. As he spoke, he drank a large bowl of wine and ate a few large bites of beef.

Qing Yi said repeatedly: "No, no, I took it seriously, but it is really inconvenient now." ”

Xia Wushen said: "What my sister said is indeed the truth. Brother Tai's cultivation is exquisite, far better than my generation, thanks to the invitation, but it is really disrespectful. When this is over, our sister and brother will definitely come to visit. ”

Xiahou Chuxin said: "Little girl, your brother is much more shrewd and capable than you. ”

Qing Yiqi said: "Why do I only see that he is like a goose, where is the shrewdness and ability you say?" ”

She just said that, and suddenly remembered that she had only known Xia Wushen for a few days, how could she comment so face-to-face, she suddenly felt ashamed, hurriedly covered her cheeks with both hands, only opened her left eye slightly, peeked through her fingers, and saw that his face was as usual, as if he didn't care, and his heart was a little calm.

Xiahou Chuxin said with a smile: "Brother Xia Wushen came to visit another day, but in fact, he found out where I lived. Although it was the first time we met, I knew that you were very cultivated, and you were not a member of the sect, so you were not shocked by things, and you must have a lot of experience. With Brother Xia Wu's experience, just by knowing where I live, you can guess where I came from, and maybe even deduce my identity. Brother Xia Wu knows everything with a word, isn't it still shrewd and capable? ”

Qing Yiqi said: "Xiahou Chuxin, how do you know that my Xia Wushen brother is not in the sect?" ”

Xiahou Chuxin said with a smile: "The realm of Xia Wushen brothers is not very high, but Bo Boran, it seems to be endless, and among his peers, no one can compare with him. If I am a member of the sect, how can I not know it? ”

Xia Wushen said secretly: "How do you know that I am not a member of the sect?" But it's not our Chu State sect. Alas, I have been bidding farewell to my master for nearly two years, and I haven't seen my master for a long time, and I have a good memory in my heart, but I don't know when I will be able to meet. ”

The three of them were talking happily, and suddenly a mysterious voice came over as if nothing had happened: "Xiahou Chuxin, do you dare to fight with me?" ”

When Xiahou Chuxin heard this, his face changed sharply, he slapped the table suddenly, and said, "Good thief, today I will teach you to know my Xiahou Chuxin's methods." He said to the bartender, "The wine money should be recorded in the account, and it will be counted next time." ”

Before the words fell, the person had already left the hotel. The speed of the body is really dazzling.

Qing Yi was about to go out to take a look, but Xia Wushen said indifferently: "I can't catch up." People have long since gone away. ”

After he said that, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "The person outside, the cultivation should not be under Xiahou Chuxin." It is known that although there are often people walking in the world, Jindan masters are rare, not to mention the overhaul of Yuanying. How did the top masters appear one after another in this ancient fish country, but I am afraid that something will be wrong? ”

Qingyi pouted and said, "Hmph, you're amazing, but I don't know." Tell me, what is the origin of this Xiaxia Hou Chuxin and the person outside the inn? ”

Xia Wushen shook his head and said, "I don't know this. ”

Qing Yi glanced at him and said, "Aren't you very powerful, why don't you know at this time?" I was angry with him in my heart, poured a bowl of wine, poured myself a drink, and said no more.

Seeing Xiahou Chuxin leaving, the bartender came over to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, shook his head and sighed: "Hey, it's another old bad debt." ”

Qing Yiqi said: "Little second brother, what do you say?" ”

The bartender said: "Back to the girl, this Xiahou Chuxin is familiar with our boss's wife, and every time she passes by here, she has to come to eat a few drinks." ”

Qingyi said: "He takes care of your business, that's good." Why are you so reluctant? ”

The bartender shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The girl doesn't know, every time Xiahou Chuxin finishes eating, he waves his sleeves, and he doesn't see half a cent of silver, it's all on credit." It's been going back and forth like this for several years, and I don't know how much money I have for wine. ”
