Volume 1 The Birds Go, the People Scatter Chapter 21 Waves Again
The afternoon sun was shining, and the diamond-shaped holes on the wooden wall were specially left for beauty to catch the golden light and put it on the table in the inner hall. Lang Zhong, the Taoist priest, the child, in the remote corner of the hotel, a conversation that started out of nowhere happened dramatically.
"I see that the two of you have been paying attention to me, I wonder if there is something wrong?" Lang Zhong's face is handsome and hard, and the warmth of his eyes is easy to give others a sense of trust, so he leans the banner on the table, puts his hands on his knees, and squares the ends.
Zhao Kai was stunned for a while, although he and Wang Qi were observing him just now, but it was like encountering an interesting thing on the road, it was enough to stand there and watch for a while, no one would deliberately recall it later, so there was no need to ask them at all, this person was just looking for trouble, well, nothing to look for.
Wang Qi's face did not change at this time, and he wanted to end the topic with the beginning of the conversation, not to cause much trouble, and replied slowly: "It is true that we offended Your Excellency just now, and I hope Your Excellency will forgive me." ”
Lang Zhong smiled lightly, the warmth in his eyes was infinitely magnified, and his dignified posture remained unchanged, but he had a unique temperament, "It's okay, I don't think the two of you are like the locals here, this place is not far from the border, I don't know why the two of you came?"
Looking at this Lang Zhong who was not leaving, Wang Qi's vigilance in his heart was even worse, "As people in the rivers and lakes, the two of us have been wandering around, and now we have made an appointment with our friends to meet each other at this time. ”
"It turned out to be an appointment with someone, but in fact, it was not idle to have nothing to do to make a friendship with the two. He paused, and the light in his eyes turned to Zhao Kai, Zhao Kai was obviously very puzzled, and he was slightly panicked when he was seen, and he only said in his heart that there were too many strange people in the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't stop complaining.
"I see that this little brother Yintang is black, and he seems to have a strange disease. ”
Zhao Kai's heart seemed to have been ravaged by 10,000 horses on the grass, remembering the conversation when he and Wang Qi met, thinking that it was really like a gathering of things, and the same type of people were really attractive to each other.
But then Lang Zhong's careless words made the vigilance in the hearts of the two rise to the peak, as long as there was a small movement in the Lang Lang, the two of them would pick up weapons and compete with each other in martial arts.
"The little brother should have only recently contracted this disease, is there always some dreams that I don't know, I think it is likely that someone deliberately used some means to cause it, well, it is very likely that it is a wizard. ”
Zhao Kai was obviously stunned by this description, his current black iron bloodline was indeed in line with what Lang Zhong said, "You, who are you?"
"Little brother, don't panic, the name of the divine doctor is not in vain. He pointed to the word "Divine Doctor" on the banner, and touched his long beard in a barrel shape with his right hand.
"Have you ever heard of the art of the Five Laws? ”
The art of the five laws is a collection of health preservation methods that have appeared in recent years, which is quite exquisite, and there are several kinds of side doors derived from it, such as some of the mental methods used for meditation and rest, some of the body stretching methods dedicated to enhancing the physique, I don't know who created it, but it was first popular in a place of cultivation in Dachu, and then the more famous, more and more people learned, and it spread, in recent years, it is the people who are enemies of each other and know a lot. Many people have offered this method of health preservation to a very high status, and the good deeds say that this method can be on a par with the exquisite medicine and medical skills made by the ancient sages, and they are all speculating that the creator of this method should be a hidden master, otherwise how could there be such a high opinion.
Wang Qi and Zhao Kai knew the subtlety of the Five Laws, and now the person sitting opposite claimed to be the founder of this law, and neither of them would believe it if they broke their heads.
But what Lang said just now is indeed the symptom of Zhao Kai's black iron blood, and he has to be tested again. If the other party really knew the reaction of the Black Iron Bloodline at such a young age, it would either be from a very deep background, or it would be with the original assassin. But it's such a coincidence, and even I can't even detect the flow of the qi machine, so I really can't guess the other party's purpose.
"Judging by your reaction just now, you are not wrong. ”
"My nephew does have a strange and secret illness, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" Wang Qi deliberately probed.
"Let me take the pulse first. ”
Wang Qi nodded specifically, and Zhao Kai rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand.
Lang Zhong's hand is very warm, as if there is a spirit, although the other party's fingers are still when taking the pulse, but Zhao Kai always feels that something flows into the body, and the feeling of heat flow is slight but real.
Soon, the other party left his hand, put his hands on his sleeves, looked at Wen Wen and asked for a while with a light face, and said with a smile: "It's a mistake, the little brother is just thinking too much, and he is a little angry, it's not a serious illness, and he won't leave if he is down." ”
After speaking, he got up and left, very neatly, the pace was the same as when he came, and he went up to the second floor slowly, without saying hello again.
Wang Qi frowned, but he really didn't find any qi ripples, and there was no reason to try it.
"This man is so strange. Zhao Kai is a little confused now. The heat flow when he had just taken the pulse was transmitted very subtlely and very quickly, and it was only a momentary time in Zhao Kai's feelings, so he didn't pay attention to it and didn't tell Wang Qi.
In an ordinary guest room on the second floor, Lang Zhong put down his luggage and sat on the desk by the window, the window was wide open, before noon, the wind had gradually risen, and the yellow leaves swayed with the wind like a small boat on the sea, he stretched out his hand and caught a leaf, the lines on the withered yellow were incomplete, he played with the shuttle, the warmth in his eyes was everywhere, accompanied by the upturned corners of his mouth, the whole person was shining, he whispered: "I thought it would take some effort to find it, but I didn't expect... Since it's such a coincidence, I'll send you into the game. ”
After noon, no one bothered anymore, the two gathered in the house to discuss how to contact Yang Xiao and the sledgehammer again, Wang Qi sat on the stool next to the table, wrenching his fingers to count the days, they have been in a daze these days, only knowing that it is about the middle of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. These days, the two of them have taken a shortcut, and most of them are nowhere to be seen, but the village, I don't know if they have passed the Midyear Festival. At that time, the discussion in Heijiaozhai was one month after the Zhongyuan Festival at the latest, if they hadn't met yet, they would ask Wang Qi to contact the initiator of Wan Yao Sect according to the secret method given by Yang Xiao, and let him arrange Zhao Kai, it's not that he didn't want to care about Zhao Kai, it was really that Wan Yao Sect's strength was too strong, and he had completely gotten rid of control, of course, it was very likely that the other party had sent people to lurk in the shadows.
At night, the street was crowded with people, the traffic was busy, so it was not lively, and the two of them inquired and knew that today was the Midyear Festival.
The Midyear Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival, is a day when people prepare coins, preserved fruits, wine, and seasonal items to worship their ancestors, as well as the custom of putting river lanterns and burning street clothes. At night, in the cool night breeze, men and women go to the streets to swim at night, and people from every household gather on the riverside to put river lanterns, watching the little light disappear along the flowing water, and the heart will be more reassured.
The two of them just finished asking an old man next to them, and then they learned that today is the Shangyuan Festival, and the old man is accompanied by a large family, he is wearing a black low-necked short jacket, and there is a little golden pattern on it, the material is extraordinary, although it looks ancient, but it is in good spirits, it should not be an ordinary family.
The old man saw that the two outsiders, one big and one young, didn't even know that today was the Shangyuan Festival, and they wouldn't have any preparations for coming, so they invited the two to go on a night tour out of kindness. The old man invited again and again, and it was very friendly, and the two of them would leave a flaw if they wanted to shirk it at this time, so they nodded and agreed.
He pointed to the front and said, "Wait until you get out of this street and alley, turn right and there is a more lively one, these years the saint is enlightened, the control of merchants is very loose, we have a lot of business and travel here, every festival, there are people who set up stalls to sell some dispensable gadgets, but make the festival a lot more lively." By the way, when the time comes, you can also put river lanterns on the bank of the Qingcao River, the river is lit up everywhere, as if it is in the sky of the Milky Way, and there are often many women who have never been out of the pavilion next to it, which is very pleasing to the eye. The old man was very talkative and humorous, which made the two quite relaxed, and even Zhao Kai, who was a little afraid of life, was familiar with the old man and chatted.
.....................................................................................................................
In a remote corner of several long streets, you can't see in the dark area, but there are fine conversations in this no-man's land that seems to be a spatial rift.
"What's going on, it's not you who do it yourself, when did a man come out, this is different from what we discussed at the beginning, one more person knows is more trouble,"
The rough male voice that was deliberately suppressed sounded, making the darkness even more weird.
"You may have misunderstood, Lang Zhong and I are not in the same group. The indifferent voice seemed to be shrouded in layers of fog, making it impossible to hear the gender.
"What, it's not your person, so you didn't get the Golden Light Recipe at all. ”
The man snorted coldly, not answering.
The angry voice on the other side sounded again, "I was snatched away by others, what face do you have to come to see me, what do you mean now." ”
"Don't forget, we work together as equals and take what we need, so even if you fail, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson. ”
"Good, good, if you don't get the Golden Light Formula, what you want will disappear from this world forever. ”
"You dare. Two words popped out between his teeth, and his voice finally fluctuated a little.
The two sides of the deal in the dark inexplicably confronted each other.
"That Langzhong can't run out, Qilin Villa is not something that can be provoked if you want to, there are countless secret methods in the villa, and the so-called golden light recipe has a special mark left, and with the unique matching magic weapon streamer, you can find the place where the secret book is. The voice returned to indifference, as if the person who spoke was not flesh and blood at all.
"Okay, then I'll give you another period of time, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, if you can't get the Golden Light Formula, we'll ask for another master. But what you want, tsk..."The cold words blended into the darkness of the night were extremely uncomfortable.
"I'll get it. ”
The cold wind gusted, pulling up a large cloth, and the hissing sound pierced the sky, but the sound of conversation dispersed with the wind.
