Unsheathed Sword Chapter 115: Sword to Sword
Everyone drank and became happy, and they couldn't stop it, and even Yi Yun drank a lot.
Yu Qin also drank two small glasses, and her face turned a little red, after all, she had never drunk alcohol before. She felt a little stuffy in the private room, so she opened the small window and looked into the lobby from the second floor.
The hall was orderly, and the woman in red was still playing the pipa in the middle of the crowd, and the crisp music was endless. Yu Qin didn't know what the song was, but she just thought it was extremely beautiful, like heavenly music, and she was a little distracted for a while.
Yu Qin saw her from a distance with a faint powder, and her long hair was entwined with a few silver hairpins, which was very beautiful.
At the end of the song, the guests in the lobby applauded and cheered, and some generously took out silver taels or jewelry to reward the woman in red.
In the front row of the lobby, an elegant man stood up with a painting fan in his hand, followed by several personal guards, and suddenly everyone's eyes focused on him.
He didn't speak, but smiled gently, and took out a snow-white pearl from the bag he was carrying, which immediately caused a burst of exclamations from the people around him.
Someone suddenly shouted: "Isn't this the third son of the Chen family?" He even came to listen to Zuoqiu girl's pipa today! ”
The Chen family is the richest man in Xingqing City, and naturally the richest man in Dayu Kingdom.
The man smiled and said: "Listening to the girl's pipa today, I really have a little bit of this song should only be in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world, and the girl from Zuoqiu really deserves her name." This is a mermaid pearl produced in the endless sea, and it will be given to the girl next, and I want to ask the girl to play a song of eighteen beats, but I don't know what the girl wants? ”
Everyone looked at the huge pearl shining brightly, which was an extremely rare and priceless treasure, but the red-clothed pipa woman called Zuoqiu girl shook her head indifferently and said, "I can't accept it, I have rules for playing the pipa, and I only play the tunes I like." ”
The elegant man took back the pearl in disappointment, and seemed to feel that it was a loss of face, so he turned around and prepared to leave, so a steward in the restaurant immediately ran out and went to apologize to the third son of the Chen family.
The woman in red didn't happen to anything, and continued to play the lute.
Her tune remained the same, like a cold mountain of ice that could not be touched.
The woman in red suddenly trembled in her heart, bypassing the cloudy eyes of everyone in the lobby and looking at Yu Qin in the window on the second floor.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
A clear and simple gaze, like the melting snow of the mountains flowing into the world.
So she hugged the pipa, Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, leaned down slightly at Yu Qin, and smiled.
Yu Qin was so excited that she closed the window a little weakly.
Yi Yun saw that Yu Qin was interested in the pipa woman, so she happily explained to everyone: "This woman who plays the pipa outside here is amazing, and she doesn't know how many people have broken her liver and intestines by playing the pipa. I don't know how many rich children just want to ask her to play a favorite song and fight for their heads. But this woman was also very arrogant, and no matter who gave a valuable gift, she only acted according to her own rules. ”
Now she is famous in Xingqing City, and many people come to Longfeng Tower just to hear her pipa, and of course more people come for her beauty. It is said that the origin of this woman is also very mysterious, she suddenly came to Xingqing a few months ago, and said that she was a down-and-out nobleman in the Yamato country in the north. ”
Huang Shan also glanced out of the window and said, "It's really beautiful, and the pipa music is also good." It's just that this mysterious origin should be fake, but it's just a gimmick of the restaurant to attract customers. ”
Yi Yun agreed: "I also think so, this kind of thing of popularizing singers and musicians is not uncommon in Xingqing City." ”
Xu Huaigu also followed outside to look at the woman in red, but when he caught a glimpse of the woman, he unconsciously felt a chill down his spine, and a fear and sword intent from the bottom of his heart filled Xu Huaigu's body.
This feeling is very amazing, Xu Huaigu doesn't know how to describe it.
If I had to say what it tasted like, it would be a-for-tat taste.
It's like a sharp sword meeting another sharp sword.
The woman also felt it, and immediately looked up at Xu Huaigu, and when the two met their eyes, they both felt that wonderful feeling.
Xu Huaigu's sword intent was attracted in his heart, and he really wanted to make a sword.
The woman's pipa sound was also broken, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the guests in the restaurant.
Someone asked, "Miss Zuoqiu, what's wrong with you, why don't you play it?" ”
Only then did the woman in red retract her gaze at Xu Huaigu, her face remained unchanged, and she replied, "It's okay." ”
So the sound of the lute continued, but everyone could hear the battle intent contained in the song, like the sound of a sword before it was unsheathed.
Xu Huaigu also felt it, but he didn't know why she was, and his heart was full of doubts.
After the wine and food were full, the affairs of the Yi family came to an end temporarily, and the room money of the Xianyun Inn had expired, Xu Huaigu didn't want to spend a lot of unjust money to live in the Xianjia Inn, and he really didn't have any money, so the group simply lived in the Yi Mansion.
For this, the Yi family is happy. Originally, there was no one in the Yi family, and the arrival of Xu Huaigu and his party finally brought a little vitality to the lifeless Yifu, especially Xu Huaigu, Yi Yun was happy to let such a young and handsome swordsman come to live in Yifu.
The rest of the day was easy. Xu Huaigu was nothing more than practicing in Yifu while planning related matters to continue to go north. After he went out once, he had more experience in going to the rivers and lakes. He knew that the road to the north would inevitably not be easy, so the more treasures such as the Fu Gong Pill, the better, and the immortal money should also be prepared sufficiently, and the best realm should also break through to the three realms.
Regarding the matter of fairy money, he didn't know how to earn it for a while, so he had to borrow three big beads from Huang Shan, anyway, Bai Xiaoyu gave Huang Shan ten at that time, far more than he deserved.
Regarding borrowing money, Huang Shan is still very refreshing. He knew that he had received Bai Xiaoyu's favor, and he couldn't be too greedy, and he still had to take out the money that should be taken out.
He also said that Xu Huaigu didn't have to return the three big beads, just to get to know Xu Huaigu as a friend, which made Xu Huaigu have a better impression of Huang Shan.
Three large beads are three hundred small beads, which is already a lot of money, enough to buy a good spiritual weapon, but if you buy a magic weapon, you can't even buy an inferior magic weapon, let alone an immortal soldier.
Since ancient times, the immortal soldiers in heaven and earth have been extremely rare, and each one of them is a priceless treasure.
Every time the immortal soldiers appeared, many monks would fight for them regardless of their lives. And because the value of immortal soldiers is extremely high, naturally no one will trade such a valuable thing, so it makes immortal soldiers even rarer, and it is rare for ordinary monks in the Eight Realms to have a handful of immortal soldiers, and only Bai Xiaoyu's master who has a very high realm and a short protection has a lot of money to take out two immortal soldiers for apprentices to use.
Xu Huaigu took the three hundred small beads he had exchanged for a trip to Sanzhu Street and bought a lot of talismans, especially the talismans used by Elder Yan that day to speed up the body. Xu Huaigu felt that with his swordsmanship and swift body skills, his combat power could be greatly improved.
As for the spiritual artifacts that could be purchased, he still didn't buy a single one. Now he is also a person who has two magic weapons and swords on his body, and his vision is too high, and he is already a little disdainful of spiritual weapons.
And the robe that Xu Huaigu has always wanted, he also saw it on Sanzhu Street, but the price is really frightening.
The full fifty beads are only a spiritual weapon-level robe, which is more than ten times more expensive than ordinary spiritual weapons, which is enough to see the preciousness of the robe. It's a pity that Xu Huaigu was shy, so he had to look at it twice and leave without stopping.
Huang Shan was also preparing to go north these days, because he had promised Yi Yun that he would find a way to regain Yi Xingping's soul from the ghosts, so naturally it couldn't be just empty talk. It's just that Huang Shan doesn't seem to have made any progress, because his own realm is not enough, so he can only find someone to help, but no one is willing to make a feud with a group of ghosts with a high realm, so he has not found a suitable candidate.
Xu Huaigu, Yu Qin and Huang Shan settled down in Xingqing for the time being, but they still often went to that Longfeng building to drink.
One is that Yu Qin likes to listen to the pipa music very much, and the other is that Xu Huaigu is also very interested in the woman. However, what Xu Huaigu was interested in was not the woman's beauty and fairy-like pipa music, but the irrepressible sword intent every time he saw a woman.
It's like a confidant meeting each other, and the sword intent resonates.
The experience of going to Longfeng Building a few times after that was also interesting, Xu Huaigu watched Yu Qin staring absentmindedly at the pipa woman on the stage when she was eating, with a helpless face.
The pipa woman is also very interested in Yu Qin, often holding the pipa and playing tunes in the direction of Yu Qin, and sometimes showing a bright smile at Yu Qin.
Every time the woman smiled, it was like a mountain snow lotus blooming, and Yu Qin would lose her mind for a long time. That look, like a girl who is caught in love, makes Xu Huaigu really headache.
After one performance, the pipa woman stopped Yu Qin and called her to her residence, not knowing what she had done with Yu Qin. Xu Huaigu only knew that Yu Qin was very shy when she went that day, and she was happy when she returned to Yi's house in the evening.
Although it is said that the pipa woman is indeed beautiful, Yu Qin is also a girl, so she will not be fascinated like this.
Xu Huaigu was very helpless, since that time and the pipa woman got acquainted, Yu Qin often went to Longfeng Building alone to play with her pipa sister, and over time Yu Qin became familiar with the pipa woman.
Xu Huaigu didn't ask much about her and the pipa woman, after all, he was going to leave Xingqing after a while, and it was good for Yu Qin to know more friends, at least he wouldn't be lonely in Xingqing in the future.
The days passed slowly.
The fire flowed in July, the clothes were given in September, the days gradually turned cooler, and the sycamores in the bluestone alleys fell their leaves, leaving a withered yellow.
The north wind mixed with the cold came, and the people in Xingqing City had to change into autumn clothes, and those singers who sang and performed in the green building also collected their exposed skin and put on gorgeous little furs.
Time flows quietly, and the day when Xu Huaigu goes north is getting closer and closer.
