Chapter Sixty-Seven: White Shadow
The next day, it was business as usual. The three of them were still asleep. But this time I slept for a short time, and I woke up. After all, Old Man Yun was some distance from them last night.
However, when they said goodbye to the inn and checked out, the old shopkeeper said with an aggrieved face: "Guest officer, if the three of you come next time, our store is welcome." Don't take this old man with you, okay, all night, you see that I am a guest, and few people sleep well. I can't figure out how such a thin and withered little old man could snore so loudly, like thunder, and I really can't sleep. ”
Fang Zhan and the three of them all nodded helplessly. Although the three of them couldn't tolerate Old Man Yun's snoring, when they got on the boat, they saw Old Man Yun leaning on the boat gang, napping, and the golden short sword stuck in his head, and the three of them couldn't help but feel a little sour in their hearts. I will feel that this old man is indeed a little pitiful.
Old Man Yun leaned there for a long time, and finally woke up slowly. looked at the three of them, and they seemed to be confused. Fang Zhan leaned over and asked with a smile, "Old man, did you sleep well this night?"
Old Man Yun looked at him fixedly. The eyes are deep, and it seems that there is an endless abyss. Fang Zhan was stunned. Then he smiled and asked, "Where is the old man from?"
At this moment, Old Man Yun seemed to have completely changed his demeanor and expression. He looked at Li Xuanyi, then at Shang Ke, and finally stopped at Fang Zhan's face. The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "From the desert." ”
"Where are you going?"
Old man Yun looked back at the river, and said without a match: "Qionghua Prefecture." ”
"The sword on the old man's head, what's the matter?"
Old man Yun still looked at Jiang Shui, and said listlessly: "I was inserted." ”
Fang Zhan asked urgently: "Who is it?"
Old Man Yun slowly turned his head, smiled, and said, "Wicked!"
Fang Zhanqiang suppressed the tension in his heart and continued to ask, "Who is the wicked man?"
Old Man Yun looked around in confusion, shook his head, and said, "I can't remember." ”
Fang Zhan immediately looked disappointed, and asked again, "The old man lives in Puling?"
Old Man Yun's eyes narrowed tightly, then shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't know, it seems to be very familiar." ”
Fang Zhan lowered his head, thought for a long time, and suddenly looked at Li Xuanyi: "Xuanyi, hit the palm you hit the day before yesterday again." ”
Seeing that he looked solemn, Li Xuanyi didn't ask anything, stood up, concentrated slightly, and a cloud of air around his body stirred up, and slapped his palm towards the river. A raging wave erupted on the river ahead. Layered on top of each other, like a hurricane.
Fang Zhan immediately turned around, looked at Old Man Yun, looked at him for a moment, and asked, "Does the old man recognize this palm?"
Old man Yun looked at the turbulent waves, closed his eyes, and after a while, said, "The heat is worse, but the girl is already very good at this age." ”
Fang Zhan hurriedly asked, "What kind of palm technique is this?"
Li Xuanyi was also staring at him closely, and Shang Ke stepped aside. Old Man Yun said slowly: "This is a "Leaf Falling Knowing Autumn" in the "Manluo Slim Red Leaf Hand". ”
All three froze at the same time. Fang Zhan thought for a while, and then said, "Where did the old man learn about this technique?"
"This is a woman's cultivation technique, yes, who is it, which woman has practiced it?"
Fang Zhan leaned his head closer and asked word by word, "What is the old man doing in Qionghua Prefecture?"
Old Man Yun slowly lowered his head, clasped his hands, and suddenly said loudly: "I can't remember! I can't remember!"
Fang Zhan and the three of them stayed there, at a loss for a while.
But seeing that the old man Yun slowly lowered his hands, shook his head, and said, "Sleep!" After speaking, he tilted his head and leaned on the boat, and after a while, the snoring was like thunder.
The three of them looked at each other, Li Xuanyi came to Fang Zhan's side, and said with a heavy heart: "This old man Yun is not ordinary, not simple. ”
Fang Zhan looked at her and smiled: "Why is it not simple, let's talk about it." ”
Li Xuanyi blinked and said, "My master told me that there is no third person in this world who can handle this technique, plus my master. Old man Yun said it in one word, it was too hard to believe. ”
Shang Ke said in a low voice: "Someone who has a sword in his head and is not dead, can it be simple?"
Fang Zhan turned to look at Old Man Yun, the sun was shining on his face, he seemed to be enjoying such a thing, with a satisfied smile, sleeping soundly and comfortably.
Lao Yutou's exclaimed voice came from behind: "My good girl, girl, you are a fairy!"
In the evening, Lao Yutou docked, still as always, resting on the boat. Fang Zhan and the three of them are really a little difficult, take the old man Yun with them, I am afraid that there will be no peace of mind this night, and they will be wiped out overnight. Don't take it, Old Man Yun looked diligent, eager to please, and almost kowtowed. The three of them took the plunge. Bring!
Just as they were about to set foot on the shore, the three of them saw a double-decker ship moored on the other side that had never been seen before. Because it's so dazzling, I can't help but take a few more looks.
Old man Yun is very able to eat and has a very good appetite. It doesn't correspond to his age at all. Sitting there, the three of them were stunned again.
Because of some unexpected income, Fang Zhan's dishes for the three of them also followed. Li Xuanyi controls the economic lifeline, and after selling fish that day, Shang Ke simply handed over the rest of his money to her. Li Xuanyi was also very happy, and she looked like a young lady, but it would attract Fang Zhan and Shang Ke to snicker.
The inn has two floors, and Fang Zhan discussed with the shopkeeper and arranged for Old Man Yun to go to the most corner of the guest room on the second floor. But he knew that even so, he was probably waiting for the show to happen.
But when it was time to fall asleep, Old Man Yun was always quiet. This made the three of them a little surprised, lying on the bed, still tossing and turning and unable to sleep.
Shang Ke muttered: "I can't sleep if I snore, I still can't sleep without snoring, this old man is harmful." ”
Fang Zhanwu was also thinking about it, when he heard Li Xuanyi knocking on the door: "Have you two fallen asleep? I can't sleep, what should I do!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, got up and opened the door. Li Xuanyi rubbed his eyes and muttered, "I can't sleep when I'm sleepy, what about the two of you?"
Fang Zhan said: "I was sleeping heavily, didn't you hear?"
Li Xuanyi slapped him and said, "It's not serious, I just haven't slept when I see you." ”
The three of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly. Fang Zhan and Shang Ke got dressed again. Li Xuanyi returned to the room, and after coming out for a while, he was already fully dressed. came to the door of Old Man Yun's room together, thinking of calling Old Man Yun, and went downstairs to drink together, and was about to knock on the door.
At this moment, the earth suddenly roared. The feet of the three of them trembled slightly.
It was the sound of horses' hooves! It was like a tiger and thunder. From far to near, like thunder rolling in the sky, after a loud rumbling sound. They all stopped outside the inn and came to an abrupt end.
The three people who were about to knock on the door stopped outside the door, looked at each other, and couldn't help but go down to the first floor at the same time. As soon as I arrived on the first floor, the door of the inn flew in with a bang.
The three of them dodged, and when they looked closely, they saw that there were countless iron horsemen outside the inn door. Torches illuminate the night sky.
After the gate flew in, countless black-clothed people immediately poured in, wearing masks and holding strong bows and crossbows, and surrounded the entire first floor of the inn. Outside the door, there were many black-clothed people, all lined up on both sides of the street, all armed with bows and crossbows, lined up in formation, and surrounded the inn.
Fang Zhan and the three of them had never seen such a formation, and they stood there for a while, at a loss.
The last three people walked in outside the door, one was a rare mountain-like body, but it was not much different from Chu Sui. One has a yellow face and thin muscles, and his eyes are like a pair of rats. Dripping around, he glanced around sharply.
Another middle-aged man with a leopard head and eyes and an imposing rainbow stood in the middle, looked at the second floor, and said unhurriedly: "There is rust in the brain, a chaos, this sword will open as soon as the door of heaven is drawn! I will wait to draw the sword." Yun Lao, please show up!"
In the corner of the second floor, there was a snoring sound like thunder.
While this person was talking, Fang Zhan and the three of them glanced at each other and nodded to each other. They had made up their minds, no matter what, they would never ask someone to pull out the sword on Old Man Yun's head like this.
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he shook his head lightly and said the word "on!"
As soon as this word came out, the situation changed immediately!
I saw that all the black-clothed men with bows and crossbows who came in on the first floor were in chaos, and all the bows and crossbows were broken or flew out in an instant. The men in black all fell to the ground in an instant.
Fang Zhan and Li Xuanyi were still standing there. It's just one less acceptable.
But it was only a moment missing, and there seemed to be a flash of black shadow, and Shang Ke returned to the two of them.
At this moment, the middle-aged man immediately couldn't bear it, and looked at the two people next to him: "What's the matter?"
The snoring from upstairs was getting louder and louder, and it was not affected in the slightest by the first floor.
Li Xuanyi frowned: "Oops, why are you snoring again, I'll call him and let him come down to drink." After speaking, ignoring anyone's surprised gaze, he went straight to the second floor.
Everyone in the inn, including the shopkeeper, knew that a great change had taken place, and they all hid and did not dare to come out. The only two windows that were open also slammed shut at the moment of the incident.
Li Xuanyi walked up to the second floor calmly in the eyes of everyone, step by step, without hurry. came to the door, knocked on the door, and said, "Old man Yun, come down and drink." ”
At this time, the moon was already in the middle of the sky, and the moonlight sprinkled down, just draped around Li Xuanyi's body. In addition, Li Xuanyi itself is beautiful, so it looks even more dreamlike, like a fairy in the Moon Palace.
Shang Ke looked stupidly, Fang Zhan touched him with his elbow: "Look stupid! ”
Shang Ke smiled: "It's good-looking!
The three people who came in, you look at me, I look at you, when have you ever been despised like this. Outside, there's a street of strong bows and crossbows lined up there. Fuck it!
The three of them looked at the black-clothed man who couldn't get up all over the ground for a while, looked at each other, and suddenly attacked Shang Ke and Fang Zhan.
But as soon as they moved, they immediately felt as if there was a dark shadow in front of them, flickering and flickering.
At the same time, there seemed to be another white light, flashing at the same time, and it seemed to have several parts of the black shadow in an instant. At the same time, a voice sounded: "Isn't it shameful enough?"
Under the moonlight, a figure that was so white that it could no longer be white, with its hands behind its back, dyed with moonlight, stood proudly.
