Chapter 22: What's Coming?
The three-day period has arrived, and the repair and casting of the "Dao Sign" has also come to the last moment.
Jue Cangming's eyes were sharp, the hammer was held high, Yun Zhenyuan, the surrounding aura, and wanted to drop the last hammer.
With a loud shout, the casting hammer fell suddenly, and after three days of tempering, the "Dao Sign" was finally repaired.
Absolute Cang Mingqi Yu Mingfeng, put the sword into the sheath.
"Whew!" he sighed, "I'm finally done." ”
Seeing that the Great Elder and Ming Fan were just in time to come over, Jue Cangming smiled and said, "Haha, it's just right to come, the sword has already been repaired." ”
The Great Elder thanked, "I'm tired of my seniors, thank you." ”
Jue Cangming shook his hand, not caring about it, "Meaningless, besides, the 'Dao Sign' is my casting, and if it's broken, of course I'm here for warranty." As he spoke, he handed the "Dao Sign" to the Great Elder, "Pull it out and inspect it." ”
Today's "Dao Sign" has lost its true spirit qi and is no longer the peerless Dao Feng it was at the beginning, so it is not like the state that no one can pull out except for Xuanyang Zhenren at the beginning.
"The senior said that I laughed, I have absolute confidence in the casting technique of the senior," the Great Elder said with a smile, touching the "Dao Sign" on his hand, the Great Elder still showed a sad look in his eyes, and sighed, "Looking at it, I think of the peerless demeanor of the master at the beginning, but now it is ..... Alas. ”
Speaking of Xuanyang Zhenren, it also aroused the sorrow in Jue Cangming's heart, "Maybe we should also put down and look forward." Jue Cangming patted the Great Elder on the shoulder and comforted.
The Great Elder smiled bitterly, "That's what the senior said. ”
"Don't talk about that. Jue Cangming changed the subject, "Although the 'Dao Sign' is no longer what it used to be, as long as it is infused with the true spirit qi and re-refined, it will definitely be able to regain its edge." ”
The eyes of the Great Elder and Jue Cangming met, and they knew what they meant, and replied, "I understand, senior. ”
Jue Cangming returned to his usual leisurely mentality, and said with a smile, "It's good to understand, it's good to understand." ”
"Alas?" Regarding the conversation between the two, Ming Fan was confused.
Regarding Ming Fan's doubts, the Great Elder did not explain to him, but said goodbye to Jue Cangming, "I've been bothering my seniors these days, now that the sword has been repaired, we won't bother my seniors." ”
"Are you going back to Xuanqing Gate?" asked Jue Cangming.
However, the Great Elder's answer was, "No, there are still some things to deal with in Shangwu City before returning to the sect. ”
"Oh, Shangwu City?"
After that, the Great Elder informed Jue Cangming of what Shangwu City had heard, Murong Jingyi's invitation to the nearby sects to participate in the birthday banquet.
"Hmph, lice on the bald man's head, a clear conspiracy. Jue Cangming said disdainfully, "Murong Mansion's style of acting in the past ten years has become more and more domineering and ruthless, and Murong Jingyi's ambition is much greater than that of his father. ”
The Great Elder still agrees with Jue Cangming's evaluation of Murong Jingyi, "Although I know that there must be a conspiracy at this birthday banquet, I also want to take this opportunity to test the depth of Murong Jingyi." ”
Jue Cangming nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense, but are you planning to take Ming Fan to see it?"
The Great Elder smiled meaningfully, "Of course not, I think 'he' should have already gone to Shangwu City at this time." ”
Murong Jingyi invited more people this time than the Great Elder thought, in addition to the sects near Shangwu City, he also invited some "famous" characters on the rivers and lakes, the reason why I want to add quotation marks is because the reputation of these characters is by no means the kind full of positive energy, of course, it is not a particularly "evil" reputation, it can only be said to be similar to the "gray" kind.
Therefore, the number of people in Shangwu City has been more than usual these days, and there are basically not many empty rooms in several inns in the city, and the wine in the tavern is in short supply every day.
From a certain point of view, Murong Jingyi's birthday has stimulated the economy in the city, and it is no wonder that the merchants in Shangwu City still support Murong Mansion even though they have to pay a "protection money" every quarter, after all, Murong Jingyi can bring real benefits to these people.
In the middle of the street, there was a woman dressed in plain cloth.
Although the material of the clothes on her body is very ordinary, and the woman's face is still a little pale, if you look closely, you will find that this woman gives people a very "charming" feeling.
The woman walked very slowly, and from time to time she clutched her chest and coughed lightly, and every time she coughed and wheeze, she would cause severe pain in the woman's internal organs.
And this pain will remind the woman of the scene when she was injured.
"That all-out stab was easily blocked by a child, but he couldn't even take a child's move, just relying on the explosion of true qi in his body to make his internal organs first, and even disperse the little bit of true qi he cultivated. Now that the magic is unusable, the internal injuries are serious, and if you don't heal the wounds, you will really die here. ”
This woman is Jin Feifei, the "charming fox" in the hunting quartet who slaughtered Mingjia Village in the previous article.
After being knocked away by Ming Fan, who was in a state of frenzy, Jin Feifei lay in the ruins of the grass house and pretended to be dead, until Ming Fan focused all his attention on Luo Xu and Meng Si, and Jin Feifei took this opportunity to escape.
Jin Feifei, who was able to escape, wanted to return to the branch of the hunting organization here, but the internal injuries were too serious, and she couldn't find a place to heal her injuries at ease for the time being, resulting in her slow footsteps, and she finally walked to Shangwu City.
Because the hunting clothes were easy to recognize, she stole an ordinary cloth coat to disguise her identity when she passed by a house. After all, if she meets any enemy at this time, then she Jin Feifei has nine lives that are not enough to die, not to mention that the "fox" does not have nine lives.
Jin Feifei, who had persisted for a long time, finally couldn't support it, stumbled under her feet, and when she was about to fall to the ground, Jin Feifei felt that she had crashed into someone's arms.
"Oops. Girl, are you alright?"
Hearing someone talking in front of her, Jin Feifei looked up and saw an old man,
How do you describe this uncle......
Well...... Dark, short, and fat..... It's a good fit.
Jin Feifei hurriedly got up and said, "I'm sorry I bumped into you." "Eager to leave.
But the old man in front of him didn't intend to let her go like this, so he grabbed Jin Feifei's arm and asked, "Girl, I see that your pale face is uncomfortable?"
Jin Feifei didn't want to entangle with this old man, so she hurriedly broke free and said, "I'm fine." Old man, what are you doing here?" Jin Feifei meant to remind you that an elderly man was dragging a girl's arm a little bit unpleasantly, so let go and leave it alone.
But the old man in front of him didn't seem to understand the meaning of these words, but instead put his face in front of Jin Feifei and concluded, "You can't fool me." ”
Jin Feifei was a little flustered, thinking that this old man was not her former enemy.
"You...... Isn't it ......."
"Is your identity going to be a goof?" Jin Feifei was shocked, and when she was thinking about whether to strike first, she only heard,
"Are you in trouble?"
"Huh?" Jin Feifei looked at the person in front of her in amazement.
I saw the old man laughing, "Am I right?"
"Forehead ........."
"It's okay, girl, don't be embarrassed, the uncle is from here, I ~~~ understand!"
"What kind of thing are you from here!Do you understand? What do you know? You know so much about women's affairs, aren't you ashamed!" Jin Feifei held back what she thought in her heart and said reluctantly, "Oh, uncle, you're right, I'm really uncomfortable." ”
The old man said with such an expression, "Look, I can see it accurately, okay girl, where is your home? I'll help you go back." ”
Jin Feifei thought for a while and said, "I'm not a resident of Shangwu City, but I'm just passing by here, and I haven't found a place to stay. ”
"I've got land! I've booked a room at a nearby inn, and if you don't mind, girl, how about you come to me and rest first?"
Jin Feifei glanced at the old man, and had a calculation in her heart, "It turns out to be a perverted old ghost." It's better to go to him first and rest for a while. ”
"That's embarrassing. Jin Feifei pretended to be "shy" and said, although she can't use the charm now, but when she was in the Qinglou, Jin Feifei didn't often encounter this kind of old man who was greedy for beauty, so she was confident that she could seduce the old ghost in front of her.
However, the old man in front of Jin Feifei seemed unmoved, only to see him pat his chest and say, "It's okay, it's okay." It's not a problem, come, I'll go with you. With that, the two of them went to the inn.
On the way, the two asked each other's names, and Jin Feifei naturally wouldn't say her real name, "The slave's surname is Jin, and the single name is a lotus character, what about you, old man?"
"Me, I'm the second oldest in the family, so you can call me the second uncle. ”
This second master is the second elder of Xuanqingmen.
