What Meng Yunsheng wanted to say was the news that the Black Mountain God caught nine deaths and got Tao Mengxiang in exchange for the luminous cup.

At this moment, a few of us went down to the lobby on the first floor of the ten-mile alley, picked up a less conspicuous seat, and watched the excitement with everyone. The black trapper standing in the middle of the hall was soaking wet, and even the hair was dripping with water. The black cloak was torn into strands and draped over his shoulders, and there was a trace of unwiped blood at the corner of his mouth, and bruises and purple bruises were exposed on his bare skin. The tragic situation of the black catcher must have experienced a vicious battle before.

Most of the onlookers speculated about the purpose of his ten-mile walk through the alley, although the black catcher was seriously injured, his backbone was very straight, his face was solemn, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Is the store there?"

Xiao Er ran out of the onlookers, "The store is not here today, Xiao Er is here." ”

The black catcher glanced at him, "Can you call the shots?"

Xiao Er said with a smile on his face: "It's okay to do normal things." ”

The black catcher took out a round pill from his arms, "This is Tao Mengxiang," he said in his palm, "I'm here to exchange for news of the luminous cup." ”

Xiao Er's face was surprised, and he took the round pill from his hand tremblingly, squinting his eyes and looking at it carefully. I saw that the ball was really the size of a pearl in the South China Sea, and its body was white.

I saw that the shopkeeper looked at his eyes for a while, and then returned the round pill to the black catcher, scratching his head with his hand and saying embarrassedly: "This ...... Guest officer, I haven't seen Tao Mengxiang either, how do I know if it's true or not?"

Long Dahan, who was hiding in the crowd, also came out and laughed, "What the shopkeeper said is right, isn't this just a white bead, we are not convinced when we look at it!"

Everyone followed Long Dahan to coax, Liu Slender looked extremely calm, holding the sword in both hands and asked the black catcher: "How did you get this Tao Mengxiang?"

"Why should I tell you?"

Long Dahan continued for Liu Slender Man: "The scholar said that there is one brown old man under Xiancheng Mountain. But look at you like that, how can you fight his ghost fire palm?"

The head of the black catcher pressed the hilt of the Seven Star Sword with one hand and snorted coldly, "You can go and ask him." ”

It takes three days and three nights to ride the fastest horse in Xiancheng Mountain, and it is difficult to prove the authenticity of this Tao Mengxiang for a while. Everyone was chattering, and suddenly a muffled voice sounded: "If you want to know the truth or falsehood, this is not simple!"

The person who spoke was Yan Wuyi, who was at the same table, and he found a gray cloth from somewhere to cover half of his face, and the muffled sound came from behind this gray cloth. For the first time, I felt that compared with the man who ate and drank in the alley, Yan Wuyi's figure really looked thin and thin. Facing everyone's skeptical gaze, he hesitated for a moment and finally stood up and said: "Tao Mengxiang can dissolve water to produce incense and illusions, and when it encounters strong heat, the whole body will turn black ink, and the mist will be entangled. The heat dissipated, and everything was business as usual. You, if you don't believe it, run the True Qi and try it. ”

After hearing this, the black catcher looked at Yan Wuyi a few more times, his face was complicated, and he held the round pill in his palm, but he didn't move. I guess he was injured so badly that he couldn't even run his True Qi. The little second seemed to see it, and rolled his eyes to put a square scarf on his shoulder and said, "That's really simple." The heroes and heroes here, who can borrow their true qi to use?"

The senior brother said, "I'll come." ”

He stepped forward and saluted the silent black catcher with a fist, and took the white jade-like transparent ball and threw it upward, secretly lucky in his hand. The white round pill floating in the air collided with this strong heat, and slowly poured out a little black, until it became black all over, and also bred black mist. The senior brother put his hands away, and his true qi was put into his arms. Madomaru immediately fell, falling right into the palm of his hand. He sandwiched between his two fingers and showed it to everyone, just as Yan Wuyi said, the true qi dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

The senior brother handed the round pill back to the black catcher and retreated into the crowd. The black catcher stared at the shopkeeper and said, "Can you believe it now?"

"Believe, believe. ”

Xiao Er smiled, and carefully took Tao Mengxiang from the black catcher and put it in his personal bag. He found a piece of paper and a pen from the account table, handed it to the black catcher, and said, "Guest officer, everything is ready." According to the rules of the store, you only need to write down the message you want to inquire about and put it in the left lantern at the door, and the next day, there will be the answer you want to know in the right lantern at the door. ”

"I'll have to wait another day!" the black catcher slammed the table and said angrily, "No, I'll do it today." ”

Xiao Er trembled his legs, "Guest officer, the rules are set by the owner, I, I ......" The seven-star sword in the hand of the black catcher has been unsheathed, Xiao Er wiped his sweat profusely, and changed his words, "Okay, we, let's hurry, just ...... in an hour"

The black catcher took back the seven-star sword with a cold eye, picked up the pen and was about to write on the paper, but was interrupted by Xiao Er's words again.

"Guest, you ...... You have to think about it before you write. According to the rules, one thing for one question. The guest officer will have to think about what news he wants to inquire about the luminous cup. If you write in general terms or ask two questions, then it is another price. ”

Hearing this, the Black Catcher pondered for a moment, and after a moment he put down his pen. My senior brother and Yan Wuyi stretched our necks to look, but unfortunately I didn't see him write anything in black and white.

The shopkeeper took the paper of the black catcher, blew indiscriminately, and rolled it into a strip. He said mysteriously: "Guest officer, I'll put it in the left lantern at the door." An hour later, the news will be known. ”

Xiao Er put a new incense stick into the copper incense burner, and the guests returned to the wine table, and the black catcher occupied a table and sat down to drink while waiting for the news, and his face was so black that no one dared to approach. However, when Liu Slender Man and Hu Dahan saw a few of us, they both came over and sat with us with their respective wines.

A few drinking friends are the happiest when they get together, and it is easy to talk about everything and express their hearts when they drink too much.

During this period, several of us had doubts about what had just happened to each other.

Hu Dahan asked first: "I know the killing list of ten miles through the alley, so the news list is really so powerful?"

Liu Slender continued: "The rules are set by people, and the people who control the news list are also people, is it possible that the owner of this ten-mile alley knows everything?"

I was also curious, "The question comes from the lantern on the left, and the answer comes from the lantern on the right, is it the lantern or the owner who is giving the message?"

The senior brother touched his chin and asked thoughtfully, "Why don't you see the honest person of the store today?"

Meng Yunsheng was still the most calm, and his old god was saying: "You keep your eyes open and keep an eye on the right lantern at the gate, and you can't relax for a moment to see if anyone puts the note that carries the news inside." ”

Hu Dahan clapped his hands and praised "This method is good", and the senior brother and Liu Slender looked at each other and smiled and drank wine. Yan Wuyi still had half a gray cloth on his face, and his exposed eyes were only staring at the small wine cup in his hand. I was the only one who was tempted to act, and I puffed out my cheeks and looked closely at the two lanterns at the gate. But until I opened my eyes and saw no one stuff the answer into the lantern.

An hour passed quickly, and Xiao Er came in with the right lantern hanging at the gate and said, "The hour is coming—the news is coming." ”

The black catcher, who was sitting alone, was the first to stand up, and the crowd gathered in his direction. Xiao Er shook the right lantern he was holding, and a roll of paper really fell out of it. He picked it up and handed it to the black catcher with both hands, "Guest officer, this is the news you wanted." ”

The black catcher took it and looked around at the curious drinkers, I swallowed my saliva and pulled at Meng Yunsheng's sleeve, "Where did you say this note to carry the news came from?"

Meng Yunsheng shook his head and sighed: "The owner of the ten-mile alley is really a smart person. ”

I watched the black catcher unfold the roll of paper under the watchful eye of everyone, and when I saw the news on it, I was stunned at first, and then my face froze, and then black turned blue and then black. He slammed his fist on the wine table and shouted at the shopkeeper, "You're kidding me?"

The shopkeeper didn't know what was going on, and only said weakly: "Guest officer, what's the matter, why did you call it tricking you? Isn't the news you want on paper?"

Without saying a word, the black catcher pulled out the seven-star sword and slashed at the little er, which frightened him into the crowd with a spineless spirit, "Guest officer, this rule is set by the owner, and the news is also given by the owner, what does it have to do with me......? Just, just go to the owner, we don't fight and kill in the store. ”

The ghostly shopkeeper was also sharp-eyed, knowing that my senior brother was good at kung fu and righteous, so he didn't dare to come out behind his senior brother. Senior brother smiled and blocked the seven-star sword for him, "Black Mountain God Catch, if you have something to say, don't break the rules of the store." ”

The black catcher gritted his teeth, "There's nothing to say, you're in the same league as him." Where the rivers and lakes are fornicating, play me well!"

These words scolded all the children of the rivers and lakes, and Liu Slender was the first to jump out, "The surname is black, what kind of ability is it to bully a powerless little two! ”

"It turns out that you people who eat official food also have stinky mouths. The tiger man spat out, "I really don't look down on you." ”

Meng Yunsheng's folding fan pressed the angry two, and asked the black catcher with clear eyes, "What's the news?"

The black catcher snorted coldly and picked up the piece of paper with the seven-star sword. A sword light flashed, the sword body clanged, and the white paper fell to everyone, and he said, "There is nothing on this paper, what kind of news is it?"

"Huh?"

Liu Shouzi and Long Dahan showed surprised eyes with everyone, and withdrew their respective weapons, with a look of confusion.

"Impossible!" Xiao Er hurriedly got out from behind his senior brother, picked up the blank paper, and looked at it carefully. I saw that he was going back and forth, and it was indeed just a blank piece of paper, and there was not a word written on it.

Xu is serious injury attack, the black catcher head hung down the hilt of the sword, grabbed the clothes on his chest, panted roughly, and looked hideous and fierce, "What a place where there is no killing in the rivers and lakes! If I can't catch the thief who stole the luminous cup today, I will step through the alley for ten miles!"

"Huh-" The black catcher's cruel words fell, and Liu Shouzi and his group of white-clothed swordsmen showed their swords and were ready to attack, and many Jianghu disciples were also on guard. The shopkeeper scratched his head and was not too nervous, he didn't know what he was muttering, he raised his head and screamed, and ran out.

"I know, I know!"

I saw him running out and running in quickly, holding another lantern in the doorway. A roll of paper also shook out of the lantern, and he opened it to look at it, and nodded with relief, "That's true." ”

Someone asked, "Xiao Er, what kind of tricks are you playing in the store?"

The shopkeeper spread out the notes in the two lanterns in his hands, and said unhurriedly to everyone: "Everyone, please look at these two pieces of paper." One came out of the lantern on the left, and that was the news that the Black God Trapper wanted to ask. The other one came out of the lantern on the right, which is the answer given by our host. ”

The man followed Xiao Er's words and asked, "Yes, I've seen it all, so what?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, the paper in the left lantern asks 'Who stole the luminous cup', and the paper in the right lantern is blank. That's - blank just none. The shopkeeper opened his mouth and grinned, "This is unknown, no one is stealing this luminous cup at all." If no one steals this, there will be no news. ”

"Oh-"

Listening to the words of Xiao Er, it made sense, and everyone let out a long sigh of sudden realization.

Someone else asked, "No one stole it?"

"But this news list still doesn't say where the luminous cup is......"

Xiao Er said: "I can't say that, just now before the black god catcher put pen to paper, I said, 'One thing for one question, think about it and then write', the guest officer wanted the news of stealing the luminous cup, and our owner gave it." If you want to reveal more, it's another price. ”

"Traitor, profiteer......"

Xiao Er smiled: "I can't say that, I'll just run errands to pass the word Xiao Er, the rules are set by the owner......"

"Ridiculous!" black blood slid down the corner of the black catcher's mouth, and he grabbed the corner of the table and pointed his sword at the group, "I know that the cup thief is among you, and he has hidden the thief with a piece of paper. I advise you to hand him over and not force me to do it. ”

Long Dahan sneered, "Black Catcher, you are injured today, I won't fight you." You take care of your injuries, and I will use this pig-killing knife to fight you for 800 rounds. ”

The crowd laughed along.

Meng Yunsheng said: "People who have been hit by the ghost fire palm, no matter how deep their internal strength is, if they are not treated in time, they are easy to fall into pain. Besides, there will be nothing wrong with the news list that runs through the alleys, if the black catcher doesn't believe it, he can go to the master of the Yan family to ask for clarification. ”

The black catcher stood still, and after a moment he turned to the head of his sword and stabbed at a jar of wine on the table. It's a pity that the jar of worm wine was split into countless pieces, and the wine spilled on the shopkeeper who was standing aside.

"You'd better tell the truth. ”

The black catcher dropped this sentence and dragged the seven-star sword away.

Xiao Er, who was soaked with wine, still smiled and continued to beckon everyone to go back to their seats to drink and eat tea.

After half a jar of worms and two wines, I still couldn't figure it out after thinking about it. I asked Meng Yunsheng, "Is there really no one stealing the luminous cup?"

Meng Yunsheng nodded.

"Then the news list will not be fake?"

Meng Yunsheng nodded again.

"How do you know?"

Meng Yunsheng's folding fan hung down on my head, "Why do you have so many questions?" ”

I clutched my head in pain, planning to ignore Mengyunsheng anymore. At this time, the senior brother suddenly said, "Where is Yan Wuyi?"

A few of us looked at each other before we realized that Yan Wu, who was sitting in the corner, had indeed not been seen for a long time.

The shopkeeper ran over in a rage, saying that the senior brother had saved him just now, and he wanted to invite us to drink worm wine. After a few jars of wine were served, he was not in a hurry to leave, took out an object from his arms and handed it to his senior brother, saying, "Guest officer, this small wine cup is half of the guest officer with his face covered and asked me to pass it on to you, you can put it away." ”

Hey, isn't this the wine cup that Yan Wuyi carries in his hand like a baby! There was also a small roll of paper hidden in the small wine cup, and the senior brother took it out and muttered, "Another note." ”

"Open it up and take a look. ”

The senior brother unfolded the small paper, and I, Liu Shouzi, and Long Dahan leaned over to look at it, and three words were written on the small paper without beginning or end.

The senior brother read, "Gap Bird." ”

"Oh-" The three of us shrank back and went back to where we were.

Meng Yunsheng chuckled, "Understood?"

"Understood. I smiled and drank again, "I guessed too." ”

Liu Slender also nodded.

"Huh?" Long Dahan looked at us as if he didn't understand, and then confirmed, "Hmm." ”

Senior Brother gasped, "Yan Wuyi, missing-mouth-bird-" He raised his head, "No, this, what does this mean?"

I, Meng Yunsheng, Liu Thinzi, and Long Dahan all laughed in unison.

Senior Brother anxiously tugged at my sleeve and asked, "Xiaoqi, what does this mean by Yan Wuyi?"

I laughed so much that I almost didn't hold the wine jar, and I rewarded a chestnut on my brother's head, "Drinking, where do you have so many problems." ”
