He Qizhen (II)

The town is small, but it is on a slope.

The higher you go, the fewer you have, and the higher you go, the more dilapidated the houses become.

There are two thatched huts at the top of the slope, which is actually more appropriate. At the foot of the hillside, there are shops, and there are places to eat, drink, and stay in the store. Even on the streets, there are people selling some vegetables and daily necessities;

Qing Jiu looked at the top of the hillside at the foot of the hillside, and he basically visited the households on the entire hillside, and only a few families were not at home. He was now standing at the door of the inn, looking up at the houses on the hillside.

He also inquired, only the people on the hillside are the natives of this town, and this town is a little strange. Generally speaking, outsiders are not allowed to relocate, and the town guard also acquiesces in this matter, and some people go beyond the town guard to report, and even many nearby gentry think that this place can be developed and utilized, suitable for more people, build more manors and even inns and shops. But none of them succeeded, and the vegetables and daily necessities that are now bought and sold on the streets are picked by villagers in nearby villages or reversed from other places.

This town allows outsiders to do business. But no outsiders are allowed to stay.

Qing Jiu frowned, this place revealed a sense of mystery that made him feel weird. Anyone who knows a little bit about this town knows that it is strange, but if you want to ask it the reason for it, you will answer that you don't know, and whoever knows will not answer him. People who know why this town is like this should live on that hillside.

Qing Jiu was looking up at the hillside when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Are you here to find Dao Er?" Qing Jiu turned around violently, and saw a young man of the same age as himself carrying a long sword, wearing a black power suit, and a small sword embroidered on the cuffs of the clothes. The young man's face was not like him and Xu Chang'an, his face was slender, and seeing his face reminded Qing Jiu of the grid that Mr. had asked him to practice calligraphy when he was young. Serious, not smiling, is Qing Jiu's first impression of this person.

Qing Jiu narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down. Both the righteous path and the demon path were still looking for him, and he didn't want to lead any moths in this place.

Seeing that Qing Jiu was a little wary, the sword cultivator said lightly: "I see that you went to the hillside just now, and asked for your name from house to house. I've been following you, and you just didn't notice it. ”

This sword cultivator followed behind him, and he didn't notice it. Qing Jiu hurriedly took a step back, and the vigilance in his eyes became even stronger.

"All the people on the hillside, except for you, they all found out. And I, Gu Tianhong from the Sword Saint Pavilion, the peak of the little grandmaster, came here to look for Sword Ten, and my master once told me that maybe someone would come to find Sword Two. ”

Looking at his old-fashioned, serious and expressionless face, Qing Jiu gradually let down his guard.

If this person was really coming for himself, then he should have had a lot of opportunities to make a move just now.

"You went to the top two families and were kicked out, it can even be said that no one on the slope wants to look at you more, and the few who told you your name are just a little annoyed by you......" Seeing that Gu Tianhong was about to continue, Qing Jiu hurriedly interrupted him.

"Gotta come on, I believe in you. Qing Jiu stretched out his hand and stopped Gu Tianhong from continuing.

"My master and the Sword Saint are old friends. Gu Tianhong was afraid that Qing Jiu would not believe it, so he said bluntly.

At this time, Qing Jiu still has a reason not to believe. This Gu Tianhong shook out the old bottom when they met for the first time, it seems that this Sword Saint disciple should rarely walk the rivers and lakes!

"Okay, what did you find?" Anyway, the other party is stronger than himself, if the people on the slope wanted to make a move on themselves and Gu Tianhong, they should have done it a long time ago. It's better to say your intentions and thoughts generously, if those two seniors are really willing to help, they should appear.

Gu Tianhong glanced at Qing Jiu, he had always been honest, and he was all cultivating, he didn't understand why Qing Jiu asked these questions in public.

"Why don't we talk somewhere else?"

"No!" Qing Jiu's voice was getting louder and louder. If you look for it secretly, I'm afraid it will be suspicious, so it's better to say it directly in public. He believed that what he said would definitely reach their ears if those two seniors were still in this town.

"By the way, what did your master say. Qi Fengjia just asked me to find a senior named Dao Er, saying that he mentioned his name, and the senior would help. ”

Qing Jiu's voice could be heard from a distance of four or five feet. But the people around him didn't seem to hear this, and their expressions were as usual. Gu Tianhong only understood Qing Jiu's intentions at this time, he thought about it and said on the street: "My master also asked me to come to find Jian Shi senior." ”

"How could it be Sword Ten, isn't it Sword Two?" this question had been in Qing Jiu's mind for a long time. From the time he went up the hill, he found that the pillars of the grass hut at the highest point were written "Sword Eleven" and "Sword Three" respectively.

From top to bottom, all the way down, the number also grows, and it seems to become a code name to confirm identity.

"Master said that Sword Two to Sword Nine are all in the Sword Pavilion, so the people here can only start from Sword Ten. ”

When Qing Jiu heard this, he felt that he had done the right thing. If they really look for it secretly, I'm afraid they won't be able to find the two seniors in their two lifetimes. Such seniors, unless he is willing to come out to see you, with their strength, they will definitely not be found.

The two of them chatted in the middle of the street as if they had been friends for many years.

We talked from noon to evening, when the cold winter wind hit and there was no one on the street, so the two of them summed it up and moved to the same inn.

The inn here also has a rule that you must leave the town if you can only stay in the inn for three days, that is, if the two seniors do not come out within three days, the two of them must leave.

The two entered the inn and saw that the owner was posting something on the wall.

Qing Jiu also had a hobby of poetry and writing, and he was also more interested in these things, so he walked over.

I saw the shopkeeper sticking a piece of paper on the wall and wrote:

How much gold and silver is there, how much does it take until death?

How long the years are, why bother with the twilight?

How graceful the red face is, and the bones will eventually wither.

The right of the world, the money of the world;

A hundred years of loess, no one can collect.

and see the wind and the bright moon, accompanied by the singing of green willows;

The sky is vast, and the wilderness is vast;

The world is just right, and the years are long.

Qing Jiu read it from the beginning, and suddenly remembered that this was exactly the phrase he used when he heard someone bargaining when he entered the village.

The innkeeper was full of smiles, and the fat on his face was piled up, and he looked at Qing Jiu, a guest, flatteringly, after all, there were very few guests in this town.

"This is the origin of the name of He Qizhen?" Qing Jiu rubbed his chin and asked lightly.

"Yes. ”

Qing Jiu didn't see anything, so he took out some broken silver from his arms, threw it to the shopkeeper, and went upstairs to rest.

After Qing Jiu left, the shopkeeper took out another piece of paper and pasted it on the wall in the corner, if Qing Jiu walked a little slower and saw the content on the paper, he would definitely be able to find some clues!
