Volume 1 The Ten Kingdoms of the Western Regions Chapter 12 The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings
Shannan locked the city, the officers and soldiers surrounded the entire territory, not a single fly was spared, and the merchants who came and went were forced to stop their trafficking activities, so they could only huddle at home and have nothing to do.
Chen Sanyuan quietly slipped out into the street, avoided a group of officials who were questioning, turned his head and slipped into a small road, walked for about ten miles, and then turned over and entered a decent courtyard.
The young lady at home seemed to be attracted by this movement, put down the fan in her hand, stood up, pushed open the window and looked twice, it was about to rain heavily, the sky was gloomy, and when she saw that there was no movement, she was ready to close the window to prevent the raindrops from splashing for a while.
But before the window was closed, she saw a black shadow rushing into the room from the window, she panicked, and continued to scream, but the black shadow immediately covered her mouth.
"Hmm......"
"Alright, stop arguing. ”
Chen Sanyuan tried to let go of the hands that were covering her and leaned forward so that she could see who she was.
"Hmm...... It's you. ”
Bo Yue pointed to the strange man in front of him who suddenly arrived at the house, he couldn't react for a while, just a conditioned reflex of vigilance, and said vigilantly: "What are you doing......?" Bo Yue symbolically hugged herself, not as confused as she was in the square that day.
Chen Sanyuan held his forehead, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to find you, I'm looking for uh...... Look for him. ”
As Chen Sanyuan spoke, his eyes glanced to the side, and inexplicably pointed to the person he was looking for, "So you are here, ......", but after speaking, he was a little weak-hearted, and he hugged his wife in front of him just now.
According to his previous temper, it was too late for him to run now.
But the man didn't speak, he only waved his hand lightly, signaling Bo Yue to go to the room first, and he poured himself a cup of tea, waiting for Chen Sanyuan's explanation.
Why can you "bully" my wife when you come back?
"Don't get me wrong...... My wife and I, we ...... "Chen Sanyuan."
"What are you doing here?"
"Isn't it 'there will be no time in the future?'" Egg Yubai took a sip of tea and continued lightly.
Chen Sanyuan patted his head and remembered the main purpose of his visit, "I was about to ask you, why are there so many officers and soldiers in Shannan City, what are you looking for?"
"It's not my soldier, how do I know what I'm looking for. Egg Yubai replied lightly.
"It's not your soldiers? This is strange, the tomb of Shannan Shixian is guarded by you, except for you, who can share power in Shannan?" Chen Sanyuan was shocked.
"Hmph......" Egg Yubai snorted lightly, and continued: "Who said that only the Shixian Tomb in Shannan can use military power?"
Egg Yubai stared at Chen Sanyuan uncomfortable, so he pretended to look out the window and was silent for a while before turning his head and asking faintly, "You mean, it's the dragon?"
yes, how did he forget.
The tomb of Shannan Shixian is one, which is true, but there is also another, even more evil, which is a black dragon.
In the land of Kyushu, the heavenly birds are facing inward, who does not know that the south of the ten countries in the Western Regions enshrines a black dragon named Chuding, and everyone admires it, and even burns incense and worships.
"What's going on?"
Egg Yubai looked at Chen Sanyuan for a while, how could he feel that his attitude towards this "enemy" was too relaxed, he glanced at it several times, still sighed, and continued: "After the prince of the Heavenly Bird Kingdom escaped from the tomb of Shixian, he turned back, set up a worship hall all the way to Linhai, and sincerely bowed to the black dragon Chuding, after a long time, the people forgot what he did at the beginning, and because he had been stationed at the tomb of Shixian, he looked down on him. As for the black dragon, it has always blessed the people who go to sea, and they have been treated favorably because of it, no, a few days ago, the black dragon was found to have died tragically in Linhai, who knows who did it......"
"It's dead? Isn't that a dragon?
Chen Sanyuan was also shocked, in his image, the immortals would not die, at most they would hide in the void like an old naughty boy, and they would not ask about the world.
"What are you looking at me for, I'm not a fairy. Egg Yu gave him a blank look, and continued to slowly sip the tea in his hand.
"If they want to catch the murderer, they shouldn't look for it among the people, it's a dragon!!"
Egg Yubai spread his hands, "How do I know this, it is said that some mountain people saw the rain monk at that time, and you also know the murderer, what is there that he can't do......"
"Rain Monk...... It's too bad" Chen Sanyuan mentioned this, only to remember that there should be another person by his side.
"What?" Egg Yubai didn't hear what he muttered.
"It's nothing, don't talk about it, I have to find someone first!"
After taking two steps, Chen Sanyuan turned back again, and Egg Yubai looked at him inexplicably, and said, "Aren't you going to find someone?"
Chen Sanyuan cupped his forehead, "Uh...... I thought about it, and it shouldn't be necessary. ”
Although he seems to have lost his memory, who is he Yu Monk? Maybe he will be bloodbathed in front of some famous family, and it will be his turn to worry? It would be good if he didn't worry about himself.
Chen Sanyuan turned around, stared at Egg Yubai and said, "Do you have any money?"
Egg Yubai: "......"
Chen Sanyuan: "Let's be in a hurry, I didn't have much silver taels on me at the beginning, so I can't make it out of Shannan......"
Egg Yubai: "You figure it out, you are my enemy......"
Although he shook his head, he still took out a bulging purse from his cuff and was about to open it.
Chen Sanyuan took it upright, only said "thank you", and walked out through the wall and disappeared.
Egg Yubai was faint behind him, as if he was asking and answering himself, and roared: "...... Did I say it's all for you? No!!"
The black dragon died, it was really strange, it turned out that the gods would also die.
When Chen Sanyuan was walking on the road with a bulging purse, he suddenly remembered Yuqing Shangxian. What did he mean by that? Why can't he fall asleep? Isn't man walking in the horse hall? Where will he go?
After Chen Sanyuan jumped over the wall and left, Bo Yue came out of the back room.
She had already cleaned up again, and the color was better than before, so that all the yin of the egg jade white in the morning disappeared, and she only stared at her intently.
After being distracted for a while, he patted his knee and said to Bo Yue, "Come, sit up." ”
Bo Yue smiled shyly, also listened to the greeting, sat on her knees, covered half of her face with a fan, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the husband?"
She meant that the man was coming, and Egg Yubai naturally heard her concern, and only said, "It's okay, it's a trivial matter." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the beauty in front of him, hugged him straight to his chest, stood up, and walked to the back room.
"I think your injury is almost healed......"
Chen Sanyuan's side did not slip back to the inn the same way, but went to the pawnshop before, he wanted to redeem the dagger he had with him first.
As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper looked familiar, and his reading glasses were lifted several times before he pointed to the distinguished guest in front of him and said, "What kind of treasure is there today?"
"I don't have anything today, I'm here to redeem something. ”
As soon as Chen Sanyuan's words fell, the shopkeeper felt a sigh in his heart, but he still tried his best to smile and said, "Master, do you want to redeem that dagger?"
"Yes!" Chen Sanyuan threw away the silver in his hand, hey, it's weird, the old acquaintance is really polite.
The shopkeeper's face was a little embarrassed, "Master, to be honest, I can remember you, but your baby, I really can't redeem it......"
"What did you say?" Chen Sanyuan put his purse back in his pocket, and his face suddenly became solemn, "You want a black price, right?"
There is a saying about asking for a black price, doing pawnshop trading, collecting things when customers want money, giving emergency money, and when customers urgently need to redeem it, they will ask for a sky-high price, forcing customers to buy what they want to redeem at a high price, and make a huge difference in the middle, which is for the "black price".
Pawnshops often have such a hand, Chen Sanyuan is clear!
"No, no, no, you really misunderstood me, although this is Shannan without jurisdiction, but we under the Qingyang Sect refuse to do this, just ...... It's just that your baby, I really ransomed it for others first. ”
"Are you the shop of the Qingyang clan?"
The shopkeeper nodded solemnly, as if he respected the name.
"Then do you know that there is a delay in the ransom, and before the three-month time limit expires, you will first give the things to others, but it is also against the rules of the Qingyang clan?" Chen Sanyuan asked.
"Master, you have tarnished our reputation, although there is a demurrage, but if the other party pays a huge guarantee, you can also take away the demurrage items......"
"How much did the man give?"
The shopkeeper held out five fingers.
Chen Sanyuan disdainfully, patted his shoulder, and said, "It's only five thousand, I also have it here, maybe I can find it?"
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper shook his head, moved five fingers, and said, "Master, you are mistaken, it's 50 million......!
"What???" Chen Sanyuan was shocked, the broken dagger could be given by a knowledgeable connoisseur, he became nervous, grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper, and asked, "Do you remember what that person looks like?"
The shopkeeper was also afraid, and said tremblingly: "Remember...... It's a little bit of remembering. ”
"Say!" Chen Sanyuan held him in his hand and loosened his collar.
It can be seen that it is a man, wearing a green robe, and his hair reaches to his waist...... Oh yes, the man had a peach blossom face, like a woman, and I was muttering...... Hey, you're leaving, don't do anything else???"
Although the shopkeeper was jealous of Chen Sanyuan, he saw that it was the God of Wealth who brought him a huge amount of wealth, and he wanted to get another treasure from him, but before he finished speaking, the man slammed the door and left.
The shopkeeper shook his head, walked back to the high counter, and counted the money......
I didn't go looking for you, but you came to the door yourself.
Chen Sanyuan ran out of the pawnshop with a gloomy face, feeling bad, afraid that the person who ransomed the dagger would see something strange. If so, he will be trapped in this world for a long time.
But as soon as he rushed out of the pawnshop, he hesitated again, at this time, all the masters were restricted from buying and selling, where could he find the person he was looking for?
Shannan is now completely locked down, and it is really difficult for a foreigner to find a needle in a haystack.
The streets of Shannan, where it had rained with embers, were filled with a smell of soot everywhere, and Chen Sanyuan walked for a while, covering his mouth and nose with his hands, so as not to accidentally get hit by the miasma.
