Chapter 87: White Water Reunites
Sleepless at night, thinking for a long time, laughing at himself: "It must be that my martial arts cultivation is shallow, and it is difficult to understand the higher and deeper realm, so I am so confused." I only hope that my stupid bird flies diligently, and I will improve in the future, maybe I can solve today's confusion. ”
In fact, his martial arts cultivation is not shallow.
At the age of fifteen, he was able to advance to the realm of reversal, and among his peers in today's rivers and lakes, he is already a figure standing at the top of the tower; When it comes to actual combat, he has no door or faction, and he takes a wild road, Yueyang Tower's Tianjiao Li Dong and Jinyi Wei Qianhu Liu Feng have all had defeats under him.
Such a performance, put on anyone, can be self-conscious, how can it be associated with the word "shallow"?
It was useless to think too much, so he put aside this unthinkable thing for the time being.
The wind and waves by the river are tight, and the cold is pressing, which makes him calm and will react: "Am I not going to Changsha City and please Miss?" As a result, in order to chase this monk, they turned out to be in the opposite direction! I'm such a fool. ”
With the help of the stars in the sky, he roughly surveyed the direction and determined that he was north of Changsha City and should go south.
Of course, at this moment in the wilderness, it is dark and cold, and the immediate need should be to find a place to rest first, and wait until dawn.
The hazy moonlight shines on the riverside and the ridges in the fields.
He said in his heart: "Walking along the ridge, you should be able to find people's residences." ”
After about half a pillar of incense, at the end of the ridge, I saw a country road full of cow.
Cow has been frozen hard in the winter night, and even if you accidentally step on it, you must not get your shoes dirty.
Sure enough, there were two or three scattered farmhouses on the side of the road, and because it was late at night, the owner of the house should have already rested, because there was no light, and it was difficult for people to see it in the distance.
Sleepless found an eaves that could shelter from the wind and rain, sat down cross-legged, tightened his clothes, and fell asleep.
He didn't sleep long this night, and just after the rooster crowed, he woke up, waited patiently, and waited until the sky was green and bright, and he could see the distance clearly, and then he got up and ran south.
Last night, for that monk, I chased a distance of more than 100 miles, and the internal force was only 20%. After a nap, he recovered to ninety percent, and is still recovering rapidly.
Sleepless at night, so he spared no internal strength and frequently performed light skills to hurry.
Of course, it's still much slower than last night's run.
It's a pity that there are few horses in the south, and I passed through two or three villages along the road, and I didn't see any horse sellers, otherwise driving a fast horse would still be faster and more labor-saving than making a light work by myself.
At noon, I got a small town called "Baishui Town", which belongs to Xiangyin County, which is under the jurisdiction of Changsha Prefecture. The town is not big, only three or two streets.
Today's weather is gloomy, the west wind is strong, the streets are sparsely populated, and there are even fewer people doing business and setting up stalls, not to mention that there will be people selling horses along the streets.
In a tavern in the middle of the town, there is a plaque with the words "Baishui Wine Shop" written on it, and the font is quite neat.
At the door, a rough and ugly woman who was selling wine braved the bitter cold and handed firewood to the stove by the stove set up outside.
A pot of rice wine is being baked on the stove, and the rice wine is steaming hot and fragrant.
Sleepless at night, smelling the smell, came to come.
His stomach growled. Since I left the Lushan wine shop yesterday, I haven't eaten again, and at the moment I am hungry and my face hurts from the wind knife.
Xin said: "Today's wind is strong, it is very difficult to hurry, to Changsha City, I am afraid that it will be tomorrow morning." Hurry up and hurry, it's better to have a hot meal and drink hot wine here first, warm up your body, and then it's not too late to hurry. ”
He stayed for a while, and the ugly woman who was shivering with cold snot came up, snorted and said, "This female guest officer, what are you doing here, go in and eat some food and drinks, it's warm inside." ”
Sleepless nodded and said, "That's what I mean." ”
He followed the ugly woman into the tavern, where there was a fireplace on the side of the counter, and it was burning red, but the smoke was not stuffy. As the ugly woman said, the room was indeed warm, and it was not choking.
There were five or six tables of guests, and seven or eight were empty. Sleepless at night, he chose an empty table by the window and sat down, and asked for two pots of sweet rice wine, two catties of braised beef, and a plate of raw coriander.
When the guests saw a beautiful maid coming, they all looked at it and salivated. I didn't pay attention to it at night, but continued to drink and eat meat.
It may be because he put the pine sword on the table, but no one dares to come and provoke trouble.
After eating for a while, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the door. Looking out of the window at night, there was a group of horseback riders, tied their horses, and came to the white water wine shop to rest.
Immediately afterwards, this group of mermaids rushed in, and they all came to eat and drink, leaving only one person outside.
Sleepless at night, a rough calculation, seven or eight men and women, all with swords at their waists, wearing standard Confucian long jackets, and warm velvet on their shoulders.
The male wears a Qingluan scribe crown, and the female Zasujuan has a beautiful cloud bun, with the same demeanor and a serious face, but they also show their own grace.
After a sleepless night, I saw an acquaintance.
Naturally, he is not a familiar person, but he has just had a one-sided relationship.
It was the disciple of Yueyang Lou Tianjiao who fought with him on the official road two months ago, Li Dong.
But I don't know why she is here today?
Li Dong is still as before, with a cold and arrogant face, just seeing her is like meeting the "winter" in her name.
This group of men and women faintly had a posture led by her, and when they saw her sit down, the others sat down.
The men and women in this line are dressed the same as Li Dong, and they all obey her orders, so they must all be the fiftieth generation disciples of Yueyang Tower.
Li Dong looked around.
When the rest of the guests saw her gaze, they all lowered their heads, because her eyes were quite cold, just looking at each other was already terrifying, how dare they look at it for a long time?
Sleepless didn't look at her, felt her attention sweep away from him, and stayed for a moment, but quickly looked away, apparently not paying much attention.
He thought to himself: "When I met her two months ago, I was a man; Now, I am a woman, my outfit has been completely changed, and she should not recognize me, so naturally she will not pay too much attention. ”
Li Dong and his entourage began to eat.
These male and female disciples were just immersed in eating, chewing and swallowing slowly, and did not dare to speak. Even the sound of chopsticks, swallowing, and picking up vegetables is very small.
Obviously, the door of Yueyang Tower is strictly regulated, and Li Dong's restraint is also effective.
Halfway through the meal, Li Dong suddenly instructed a disciple: "Let the thirty-six junior disciples come in for dinner, and you go to take turns to guard the congratulatory gifts and horses." ”
The disciple was arranged by her, and he didn't dare to refuse, so he hurriedly stuffed a few pieces of meat into his mouth, and his cheeks were full and bulging, and he immediately got up and hugged his fists and went out.
After a while, a young man with a thin face who looked like a monkey came in with his hands rubbing the cold wind. He didn't say much, and after saluting Li Dong, he sat down on the vacant seat to eat quietly.
Sleepless all night was almost finished, and was about to take out the money to settle the bill, and then left.
Suddenly, Li Dong looked at him, and said in a cold voice: "The girl sitting by the window, can you lend me the sword on your desk?" ”
