013: Let's talk about it
sent Li Changyuan to an empty table on the first floor near the staircase, and after sitting down, Xiao Er brought Li Changyuan some food and tea, and then asked if there was anything else needed, before turning around and going to his own business.
What time is it today?
I don't know how many days I have been lying in bed since I came back, Li Changyuan quietly drank tea and ate bread at the table, while quietly listening to the conversations of other guests not far away. Although I didn't directly mention the day of today, I heard that today was the day of the Martial Arts Association's midway repair.
I also overheard the news that there was another girl participating in the competition, and I heard that it was a girl from a foreign land.
Exotic......
When Li Changyuan heard this, he unconsciously thought of the girl who opened the door next door and bumped into him when he went downstairs. It seems to be older than himself, but he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the focus is on such a delicate little face, but there is a physique that is more robust than the average adult man.
Just recalling the width of the girl's shoulders, Li Changyuan was a little suspicious of the other party's male disguise.
That's it, what do you want her to do. β
Dispelling his thoughts, Li Changyuan ate and drank well, and after a meal of food and clothing, he got up and walked out of the restaurant and walked around. It's still noon, and there are many people on the street, but they still can't help but think back to the girl they met next door before, Li Changyuan had a flash of inspiration, maybe the old man will know some news.
Thinking about it, Li Changyuan turned the corner and stepped into the road to the Martial Arts Society. But instead of going to the venue of the martial arts meeting, but in the alley near the venue, Li Changyuan once again went to Huang Tian's small teahouse.
Ga β
The creaking sound of the wooden door pushing open, a long one disturbed the old man who was cultivating in the Chinese book and ink in the small tea house, and before he could raise his eyes to see what was going on, Huang Tian opened his mouth and said:
"Little friend, I haven't seen you for a few days, and the scenery is great."
"Passing the prize."
"What is the so-called reason for coming here this time?"
"It's okay, it's just that I have time to sit and ask you about someone by the way."
Polite is so polite, after Li Changyuan consciously found a vacant seat to sit down, Huang Tian cleaned up the books, paper, pen and ink on the table, got up for a while, and came to the table where Li Changyuan was seated with a teapot.
After taking the same seat, Huang Tian took his hand to make tea for Li Changyuan.
At this time, Li Changyuan and Huang Tian are two people in the tavern, this room usually rarely comes to people, and there are usually guests who come in and out, all of them are nothing more than hearing about Huang Qiang's reputation as a local snake, and if they want to please Huang Qiang, the old man on top, either come to give gifts, or press a bet at the time of opening, and the table means it.
Huang Tianke saw through the hearts of those people, so he naturally accepted it, but he didn't let those people get a good face.
Over time, there were very few people here.
Business is not just business, this small teahouse can only be regarded as a quiet place for Huang Tian's old man's house now. Li Changyuan is different from other visitors, he is still young, and he does have a promising future, and the most important thing is that Li Changyuan's heart is not bad.
"Let the old man guess, the person you want to inquire about is the opponent you killed a few days ago, Hu Yue?"
"It's not."
"Hey, who else could it be?"
Huang Tian was really a little surprised that he didn't guess a child's mind, but the most convenient thing for a child's conversation is that he doesn't have to beat around the bush. Li Changyuan also explained very bluntly:
"I heard that there was a girl who cut the queue to participate in the competition recently, and she came from other places."
"Aren't you also from out of town?"
Huang Tian teased with a smile.
Li Changyuan pursed his lips slightly, unceremoniously picked up the teacup and drank it all, probably because he had eaten too much in the restaurant before, and he had a little tea in his stomach, and he unconsciously burped.
"Hiccupββγuh......"
"Hahahaha, you kid, I thought you were spring-hearted, and you didn't want to eat tea."
"Joke."
"Then tell the old man, why didn't you rush to find out the news as soon as the people showed up?"
"I doubt ......"
Li Changyuan wanted to avoid talking about it, but if he didn't say it, it would be no good or bad for him, so he simply worried about it, and Li Changyuan spit it out:
"I suspect that the girl used some tricks on me, I dreamed of her in a dream, but that dream didn't feel very natural."
"Oh? Elaborate. β
For the next half an hour, Li Changyuan described all the parts and details of what happened in the dream, himself and his memory. After Huang Tian listened, he was silent for a while, Li Changyuan also waited, and after Huang Tian had the bottom in his heart, the reply he got was:
"Little friend, that girl, you have to be careful."
"Senior, but it doesn't hurt to say."
Huang Tian seemed to remember something, looked up at the beam at the top corner of the teahouse, and was silent for a moment before speaking:
"In this world, apart from ordinary people, there are two categories of people whose strength is higher than that of mortals: martial cultivation and Taoist cultivation."
"I know this, I am Wu Xiu, the fist and foot kung fu of Xiu."
Li Changyuan interjected.
But it made Huang Tian and his old man laugh loudly:
"Hahahaha~, Wu Xiu is true, but it can't be said to be true in you kid."
"It's not true."
"Come, old man, and ask you, fist and foot kung fu, what kind of kung fu do you make?"
"The peerless learning of the Iron Bull Sect, the Iron Bull Fist."
"There is a way, but the move of your kid to kill Hu Yue at the martial arts meeting can also be the Iron Bull Fist?"
ββ¦β¦β
I originally wanted to use it as a hole card, but I didn't expect that even the old-timers who were not present at the time could be so sure of their moves just by hearing some news. can still wait for Li Changyuan to think of any reason to prevaricate in the past, Huang Tian directly debunked it in one sentence:
"You kid can, you awakened the sword intent at a young age, and at the moment on the Qiu Jin Continent, you can definitely be called the first person in swordsmanship."
At this point, Huang Tian brushed his sideburns and continued meaningfully:
"So, you are a martial cultivator, but you enter the Tao with a sword, so this 'martial cultivator', Xiaoyou, is it true? Or is it fake? β
Seeing that Li Changyuan couldn't speak, Li Changyuan was stunned for a moment, and he had to smile embarrassedly.
The old man smiled slightly, and Li Changyuan immediately picked up and smiled and played a round:
"Hehehe, senior, why bother with which way, martial arts cultivation pays attention to fist and foot kung fu, but it doesn't say that there is not necessarily no sword martial arts."
"Don't pretend to be confused, at the end of sword cultivation, enlightenment is the Tao, and 'Tao cultivation' is also."
"Yes, yes."
The topic was a little crooked, and after a pause, Huang Tian got back to business:
"On the Qiu Jin Continent, in addition to the two major systems of martial cultivation and Taoist cultivation, far away from the Qiu Jin Continent, there is also a cultivation system that is not treated by the people on the Qiu Jin Continent."
"Yes......"
"Meditation."
"Meditation? What kind of practice is that? β
Li Changyuan was quite curious, Huang Tian turned his gaze back to Li Changyuan's face, and when the four eyes met, Huang Tian said so gloomily:
"If I were Nian Xiu, and my eyes were facing each other at this time, you would already be dead."
Li Changyuan didn't feel his body tremble, and said in surprise:
"Such an evil sect?"
"Such an evil sect."
Li Changyuan still doesn't know the specific information of the girl next door to him, and now that he has the opportunity, he must ask to understand:
"Then dare to ask the seniors, I don't know how much the seniors know about the cultivation, and how much can they tell each other, and how much do the seniors know about the girl who came to participate in the competition?"
"What, I'm afraid of meeting you in the ring?"
ββ¦β¦ Be. β
"Hahahaha, don't worry, you're definitely going to meet it."
"Ah......h What do you mean by that? β
Huang Tian got up, and after pouring another cup of tea for Li Changyuan, the teapot just emptied. Picked up the teapot and turned around and walked to the counter, at the same time, Huang Tian opened his mouth to solve his doubts:
"That girl is from the wild land of the Western Regions, her name is Ma Yuanyuan, she is a family of cultivators, and she is also a merchant family, you have to ask the old man how he knows, and the old man does not hide it, just say it, just this morning, that girl and her father came to me this time."
"Ahh β¦β¦β
Originally......
Li Changyuan understood this explanation at once, before the battle against Hu Yue a few days ago, Li Changyuan heard some rumors, saying that in the game of the referee who presided over the referee at the venue, the young referee was just a look, and the real person in charge of the field was the head snake with Erlang's legs behind the young referee, named Huang Qiang.
And Huang Qiang has an old father who doesn't care about the world, and he vaguely remembers that his name is Huang Tian, since this martial arts meeting is run by Huang Qiang, then if this other person wants to cut the team halfway to participate in the competition, come to his father Huang Qiang's place for a trip, most of them can talk.
If you have a bright brain, it will be better.
But......
What means did that Ma Yuanyuan use to make Huang Tian's predecessor agree?
Li Changyuan won't ask about the specific details, but for cultivators like Nian Xiu, Li Changyuan has never heard of it. If you really want to face the girl who is on Ma Yuanyuan at that time, what kind of means is the other party, Li Changyuan is really not good at defense, is it possible to ask Li Changyuan to sleep in the ring or something?
"Hmm...... Dare to ask the seniors, the means of reciting cultivation ......"
Speaking of this, Li Changyuan was a little hesitant, Huang Tian went back to the counter, and when he was making tea again, he raised his eyes at Li Changyuan by the way, and saw that Li Changyuan was a little embarrassed, after all, it was unreasonable to come and ask so many things, and it was unreasonable not to accept something.
Ordinary people come to inquire about information, either as gifts, or directly as silver tickets, but Li Changyuan didn't bring either. It was also to make Li Changyuan more natural, Huang Tian said indifferently:
"Nian Xiu, it's not powerful, the physique is as much as ordinary people, but the victory lies in strong mental strength. The main cultivation of recitation is mental power, and when you first enter the path of recitation, you can share memories with living beings, communicate with living beings, and cultivate to a higher level of spiritual cultivation, you can forcibly control the actions of living beings, or make a contract, or directly seize the vitality of living beings lower than your own spiritual power for your own use. β
"If it's right, what precautions are there?"
"They themselves are no different from ordinary people, there are only two things that need to be paid attention to, one is the eyes, but the royal beasts they carry with them."
Can...... Recently, I haven't seen any beasts with them, and I haven't seen or heard the movements of other creatures and beasts on both sides of the next door. When he went out, Li Changyuan had asked Xiao Er, and in retrospect, it couldn't be the two camels in the stable in the backyard of the restaurant, right?
"Go back, that's all there is to say, next time you come, remember to bring some tea, the old man hasn't tasted the peak clouds for a long time, and I am counting on you to bring some to the old man."
Meaning that it was almost time to send off the guests, Li Changyuan got up and pushed away the chair, and bowed politely to the old man:
"Thank you seniors for solving your doubts, next time I will definitely bring the peak clouds."
"Go, tomorrow is the finals of the martial arts club, don't forget that you still have a game with me, play hard."
"I'm going to do my best."
After speaking, Li Changyuan went out and closed the door of the small teahouse with his backhand. On the street back, Ma Yuanyuan happened to go out alone near the venue, Nian Xiu's perception was different from ordinary people, and she was the first to spot Li Changyuan not far away, so shocked that she immediately turned to the side of the street corner and hid.
'It's so dangerous, I almost found out to him! β¦β¦ No, why should I hide from him, I, I didn't do anything bad. β
After she pondered, when she walked out of the street corner on the side, there was no Li Changyuan in front of her, and when she looked back, she saw that Li Changyuan had already passed by, and only Li Changyuan's back was like a leisurely stroll in her eyes.
