Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Fortune in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 260 The Teahouse
Xizhou, fertile soil for thousands of miles, pasture everywhere, since ancient times, there is a natural horse farm.
Xizhou City, located in the north of Xizhou, is close to thousands of miles of fertile soil.
The city is 20 zhang high and covers an area of hundreds of miles.
Xizhou City is the main city of Xizhou, not only the political and cultural center of Xizhou, but also the martial arts center within a state.
Loud voices can be seen everywhere.
On the bustling streets, there is a tidal flow of people, and the cries along the streets are endless.
On the street near the city gates, there is a dilapidated teahouse, and business is very deserted.
At this time, three men in white with white swords hanging from their waists were walking into the door of the teahouse.
White clothes and white swords, this is the classic combination of white sword caves.
As the largest faction in Xizhou, Baijian Cave often "kills demons and destroys demons", and is deeply loved by the people of Xizhou.
Xizhou City can have today's stability, and one-third of the credit belongs to the White Sword Cave.
The owner of the teahouse is surnamed Wei, who received a favor from Baijian Cave in the early years, and since then he has regarded Baijian Cave as a guest of honor, and whenever a disciple of Baijian Cave comes to the door, they are all warmly welcomed.
"It turned out to be Liu Yun Shaoxia! Is it going down the mountain again this time to get rid of demons?
When the owner of the teahouse saw the disciples of Baijian Cave, he greeted him warmly as usual, and when he found that there was an "old friend" among the visitors, he immediately burst into laughter.
Liu Yun was the eldest of the three in the White Sword Cave, with gentle eyebrows and a righteous face.
Liu Yun is just twenty years old this year, and he began to take on the task of the sect two years ago, and by now, he has killed more than a dozen demons.
It is worth mentioning that Liu Yun himself is a native of Xizhou City, and his family is also a famous family in Xizhou City. In the past two years, whenever I entered Xizhou City to kill demons, I would go to this little-known teahouse to sit down, and I was regarded as an old customer of the teahouse.
Liu Yun stretched out his hand and clenched his fists and introduced the two juniors beside him to the teahouse owner.
"Boss Wei, these two are Senior Brother Xingming and Senior Brother Li Qifeng, go down the mountain with me to eliminate demons. ”
"I've seen two young heroes!"
After Boss Wei made a salute, he took the three of them to the window seat, which had a bright view and was also the best seat among the few seats left in the teahouse.
"Liu Shaoxia, what do you want to eat?"
Liu Yun said: "The old rules!"
In a few moments, a pot of tea, a plate of pastries, and a plate of beef were served.
The beef plate is large, and there is more beef in it than on other tables.
I can see the heart of the teahouse owner.
The white sword disciple named Xing Ming smiled and said, "No wonder Senior Brother wants to bring us here, it turns out that Senior Brother is a frequent visitor here!"
The three of them came from the White Sword Cave and had been entering Xizhou City for several days.
In the past few days, they have been tracking down the whereabouts of the demons, and they have hardly rested.
I don't know what Senior Brother Liu Yun remembered today, and suddenly proposed to take them a good meal. When I came to the teahouse before, I was still surprised. Now I understand.
Liu Yun picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, Mei Zizi said: "The two junior brothers are going down the mountain for the first time, I don't know, two years ago, the owner of this teahouse was attacked by villains, and I happened to meet me and my senior brother went down the mountain to eliminate demons and save his life, since then he has been grateful, whenever he meets our disciples of Baijian Cave, he will be hospitable." ”
"Oh, it turns out that this is the teahouse that the senior brothers often talk about. ”
Xing Ming suddenly realized.
He had been cultivating in the gate before and had never descended the mountain, so he didn't know much about Xizhou City.
However, when he was in the door, he had heard of this teahouse, and he was still curious for a while.
"The teahouse?"
Li Qifeng looked puzzled, he hadn't been in the White Sword Cave for a long time, so he hadn't heard the story of the teahouse.
The beef is thinly sliced and neatly arranged on a plate.
Liu Yun pointed to the beef and said, "You're welcome, two junior brothers, this sauce beef tastes very good, and it is the specialty of this teahouse." ”
The two of them moved their chopsticks at the same time, and after tasting it, there was a surprised expression on their faces.
Senior brother didn't lie to them, the beef here is indeed delicious.
The three of them ate the beef on their plates, did not touch the beautifully arranged pastries, and drank a cup of tea each.
Liu Yun put down the teacup, suddenly showed a sad face, and sighed: "The three of us have gone down the mountain, and it has been almost half a month now, not only have we not caught the demon, but there has been a murder again, which is really ashamed of the sect's teachings." ”
Liu Yun used to go down the mountain to eliminate demons, and all he encountered were extremely simple tasks.
But this time, the mission was different from usual, the murderer was not only ruthless, but also very cunning, until now, they didn't even touch each other's shadows.
Xing Ming lowered his head and blamed himself: "I'm sorry Senior Brother Liu, it's me who didn't do a good job." ”
Among the three of them, Xing Ming is a think-tank-like existence, and all the action plans are formulated by him.
And Liu Yun is also very trusting, and he has always implemented the plan he formulated unconditionally, and has never been perfunctory.
Liu Yun shook his head and said, "What did Senior Brother Xing say, if it weren't for you, we would still be confused." It's just that Senior Brother Li suffered, and the first time he went down the mountain, he was dragged down by the two of us. ”
Liu Yun looked at Li Qifeng, his eyes full of guilt.
In fact, Xing Ming also went down the mountain for the first time, but the time he entered the White Sword Cave was much longer than Li Qifeng.
As a junior brother who has just joined the mountain gate, the two senior brothers treat him as their own brother, and naturally they don't want this little brother to leave a stain of "being a bad teacher".
The care of the two senior brothers made Li Qifeng very moved.
It is said that the rivers and lakes are sinister, but Li Qifeng has never seen the cruel side of the rivers and lakes.
As early as when he walked out of the water town, he was ready to walk on thin ice.
However, what happened later was successfully unexpected, not only successfully joined the White Sword Cave, but also deeply respected by the teacher, and now he is entrusted with an important task.
Li Qifeng suddenly got up, bowed to Liu Yun and Xing Ming, and said, "Qifeng has been taken care of by the two senior brothers these days, and he is very grateful. I am willing to advance and retreat together with the two senior brothers. ”
"Okay, let's advance and retreat together!"
Liu Yun got up, held the teacup in front of him, and said happily: "This mission is in my body, I can't drink, so let me replace wine with tea, toast the two junior brothers, and hope that we can get rid of the demon as soon as possible." ”
Xing Ming got up and raised his glass and said, "Drink this cup together!"
Li Qifeng's face was flushed, and he was so excited that he could barely speak.
In his impression, Baijian Cave is like a big family, the master is kind, and the brother is friendly.
Just as the three of them were toasting together, on a tea table behind them.
A sweet girl dressed in simple clothes stretched out her fingers, poked the old man beside her, and asked, "Master, which sect are they disciples of?"
The old man's black hair and half white hair are the desperate miracle doctor who entered Xizhou City incognito not long ago.
The divine doctor glanced at his precious apprentice and said with a smile: "The white-clothed white sword is in Xizhou City again, it should be the white sword cave." ”
The girl said enviously: "Baijian Cave? is the number one faction in Xizhou that Master said before?"
"Envy?" the Desperate Divine Doctor pouted: "A group of pedantic people whose brains have been kicked by donkeys, shouting all day long to kill demons and demons, like fools. ”
The corners of the girl's mouth twitched.
I don't know why, I always feel that my master is envious, jealous and hateful.
The girl looked at Li Qifeng's side face, I don't know why, I have a sense of déjà vu.
Just as they wanted to take a closer look, the three White Sword disciples had already gotten up and left.
"Huh, why didn't you pay the bill?"
The girl looked at the counter and saw that the teahouse owner was unaware, and showed a hesitant expression.
Should you say it or not?
The girl thought about it, but decided to pretend not to see it, and said to the old man: "Master, I listened to their conversation just now, it seems that they are tracking down a demon, is it related to the case we are investigating recently?"
"Them?"
The Desperate Divine Doctor frowned and said, "If it's really related, then they're dead." ”
The case he wants to investigate involves a thug who is close to the peak of his anger.
If those three disciples meet, they will surely die.
The girl was shocked when she heard this, and couldn't bear to say, "Why don't we go and persuade them?"
The Desperate Divine Doctor shook his head lightly and sighed, "Silly apprentice, do you know what we need to care about the most when we are lonely and wandering around the rivers and lakes?"
"What?" the girl was puzzled.
The old man said earnestly: "Put away unnecessary sympathy and make less trouble for yourself." ”
The so-called business is not about oneself, hang high.
What the desperate doctor wants to teach the girl is nothing more than four words: Mingzhe protects herself.
It's okay to watch a play, but you can't get into trouble.
This is the experience he has summed up for most of his life.
The girl nodded blankly, even if she didn't quite understand, she planned to do it. After all, his master will not harm himself.
Seeing that the girl had written it down, the Desperate Doctor nodded secretly, not in vain for his good intentions.
You must know that the girl will inherit not only his martial arts, but also his medical skills.
In the name of his miracle doctor, the girl's future medical skills will be extraordinary, if she has a compassionate heart, won't she be exhausted to death by those who come to seek medical treatment in the future?
As if remembering some of the past, the old man stood up, leaving two taels of silver and walking away.
"Let's go! The woman must have arrived. ”
Boundary Water City.
In the study room of the Wooden Sword Martial Arts Hall, Meng Li looked at a secret book bound with needles and threads on the desk thoughtfully.
This thread pack cheats is the Hundred Broken Knife Technique that Ming Xuan helped him get not long ago.
Hundred broken knife method, ranked second.
It is refined by the martial arts department of the imperial court, and whether it is skill or power, it is the best choice in the second-grade sword technique. It is not comparable to the sword techniques compiled by those sects themselves.
After Meng Li got this knife technique, he quickly looked at it as soon as possible.
This knife technique, as its name suggests, has a hundred styles.
However, Meng Li, who was extremely fanatical about knife techniques, did not learn the knife technique at the first time after obtaining it, but put it aside.
Now, he has more important things to do than practice knives.
Just now, when Ming Xuan handed over the Hundred Broken Sword Technique to him, he also told him a piece of news.
Du Mu has returned from the Cloud Sword Sect.
Moreover, Ming Xuan will hold a banquet for him in the Fubin Building in Nancheng tonight.
However, before attending the dinner, Meng Li had one more thing to do.
