Chapter 19: The Strange Past of the Noodle House Couple
"What the hell, it's been a long time, the noodles haven't come up yet, do you want to starve Lao Tzu to death? Do you want to open this noodle restaurant until you are low, it's really unlucky, refining a weapon and not refining it for Lao Tzu, come here to eat noodles, but the noodles are not served to Lao Tzu for half a day!"
"Refining weapons!"
Xuan Fei extracted these three words from the words of the great man very accurately, could it be that he had just come out of Pang Wu's cousin? I heard Pang Wu say that his cousin Pang Zuo was very particular about refining people, and he would not treat everyone to him, presumably this big man must have eaten behind closed doors, so he went to the noodle restaurant to make such a big fire.
However, this is also a good thing, Dahan's anger happened to teach Xuan Fei a lesson to the perverse old woman, Xuan Fei planned to invite Dahan to eat this meal as a reward, by the way, how to go to Pang Wu's cousin's Pang Refining Hall.
"This big brother, I don't know why I'm so angry!"
This big man should be about forty years old, Xuan Fei called him eldest brother, he said with a smile as he sat down next to the big man.
Dahan had no intention of taking care of it, but found that Xuan Fei was carrying two swords.
First, the sword body is slender and bright, shining with silver light.
Second, the sword body is broken, dark and heavy, and although Xuan Fei is full of smiles and is kind and commendable, there is a faint aura of Ling Ran on his body, this kind of breath is naturally imperceptible to ordinary people, and only martial artists who have reached a certain realm can feel it.
Naturally, he didn't dare to slack off, and he also changed his fierce face, the corners of his mouth rose, he forced a smile, got up and saluted respectfully: "This little brother is a hero from a big sect?"
With his status as a martial artist, he naturally would not think in the direction of a cultivator, after all, a cultivator is a superior who can only be looked up to from afar for a martial artist like them.
How could such an unattainable superior be so kind to himself?
Therefore, his first reaction when he saw Xuan Fei was that a certain powerful martial arts sect was a top disciple who had gone out to practice.
His current martial arts cultivation is the sixth grade of the body refining realm, and Xuan Fei gives him the feeling that he is at least above the eighth grade of body refining, and the eighth grade of body refining is already a half-step grandmaster in the martial arts world, and regardless of the gap between himself and Xuan Fei, just by guessing the sect behind Xuan Fei, he has to be respectful to Xuan Fei.
And how did he know, his guess still owed a little heat, and the sect of mere mortal martial artists was as small as ants for the immortals.
"It's not a big sect disciple below, it's just an outer disciple of the Sword Seeking Pavilion······
Xuan Fei naturally knew that the great sect that the Great Han said was the sect of the mortal martial artists, but sometimes low-key was more admirable than high-profile for people who knew how to do it, and it could also shock his heart, so he followed his words and revealed his identity.
He didn't want to show off in front of the big man, but he wanted the old woman who looked down on people to understand a truth.
Low-key does not equal incompetence, and high-profile does not equal invincibility.
What's more, the disciple of the outer sect of the Sword Seeking Pavilion is not his true identity, his true identity is terrifying to the entire Dongzhou cultivation realm, the first cultivation wizard in the world, the head of the super immortal gate, the young cave master of the Xuanxu Cave, Xuan Fei.
When I heard the words Xunjian Pavilion, not only the big man, but the entire noodle restaurant was shocked, in the territory of the East and West Road, who would not know that the top of the famous immortal cultivation holy land Xunjian Pavilion, who else could come out of there, obviously it was an immortal!
Everyone stepped forward to worship one after another, some made a wish, some closed their eyes to seek wealth, and some asked Xuan Fei to ask for a charm, but Xuan Fei politely refused, he can be a sword cultivator, not a charmer, how can he draw a charm.
However, the old woman with a vicious face just now didn't believe it, and muttered softly: "Where are so many immortals, who are young and don't learn and don't know how to learn, and who learn to deceive, if he is an immortal who comes to find a sword, I am the queen mother of heaven, just a liar, and there are still people kneeling for him, tsk! tsk! it's just a shame~"
Although the voice is small, I can naturally hear it clearly with the cultivation of Xuanfei's foundation realm, and I secretly said in my heart, it is really the first impression that kills people, even if everyone is respectful to me and treats me as a god, the old woman who will eat me as soon as she opens is still that arrogant face, interesting, really interesting!
However, it really doesn't make much sense to spend too much effort on making this kind of strange character, the wicked have their own wicked grinding, and there will always be someone who will impress him, such as the seemingly vicious man in front of him.
Xuan Fei spent a lot of effort to dismiss the diners and other service staff in the store who were praying to God and Buddha around him, and asked Dahan in a straight manner, "Big brother just came back from the Pang Refining Hall?"
"The immortal is tormented, how dare you call you a brother and a brother. Dahan hurriedly complimented his fists and saluted, "In the next place, I really just came out of the Pang Refining Hall, but I came all the way and delayed for dozens of days, just to get enough of a batch of good weapons, but I was turned away, and I could only return in vain, and I was ashamed, ashamed, ashamed!"
"Looking for weapons?" Xuan Fei smiled, "No wonder you will be turned away, the eldest brother doesn't know, this Ponzi Refining Hall only creates weapons and equipment for the royal family and the elite troops of the Eastern and Western Dao Kingdoms, or some families who are good friends on weekdays, as for the others, if there is not really something to impress them or someone to introduce them, I am afraid it will be difficult to enter the door." ”
"Oh, why is the immortal so clear about the Pang Refining Hall, it can't be ······?"
Without explaining, Dahan had already guessed nine times out of ten, thinking that the Pang Refining Hall and the Sword Hunting Pavilion had some origins, but the immortal in front of him was from the Sword Seeking Mountain, and it was natural that there was some connection between the two.
While the two were talking, a middle-aged man brought noodles and some cooked food side dishes on a tray and sent them to Dahan, who took out a pair of chopsticks, handed them to Xuan Fei, and said, "Immortals, don't be polite, these are some small dishes, eat them together!"
Xuan Fei nodded, he knew that he couldn't be polite with this kind of gangster, otherwise the other party would feel that he looked down on him, but what he was most interested in now was that the person who delivered the food was not the tricky old woman just now, but this middle-aged man.
Without waiting for him to ask, the middle-aged man said to Xuan Fei sincerely: "I'm sorry, immortal, this old woman in our family has a strange temper, she offended you just now, but she just owes it, she is a good person, I hope you immortals don't worry about her, I have increased the amount of these side dishes, and I won't have to pay the bill for a while, count me as you and this hero!"
It seems that this middle-aged man is the shopkeeper of the noodle restaurant, but what makes Xuan Fei puzzling is that the middle-aged man claims that the old woman is the old woman in the family, obviously his wife's meaning, but the old woman looks like she is in her early fifties, this middle-aged man is only in her forties, obviously an old wife and a young husband, and the old woman's temper is very different from this middle-aged man, I really don't know what this middle-aged man thought when he married her.
However, curiosity is curiosity, some people are willing to fight and some people are willing to suffer, it is all other people's family affairs, Xuan Fei felt that it was not easy to say anything, so he nodded.
"It's a trivial matter, how can I keep it in mind, but since she has a flawed character, don't let her come to work in the store, otherwise, her good life will be ruined by her strange temper. ”
Xuan Fei didn't mean to sow discord, but to tell the truth, he felt that a good noodle restaurant was a good place when he entered the store just now, and it was actually at noon when few people patronized it, which was very strange, and after seeing the old woman, he understood that all the problems were on her.
The middle-aged man listened to Xuan Fei's words, although he was a little displeased, but he still maintained a smile and said: "Twenty years ago, I was reduced to the streets, fortunately the old woman took me in, at that time, she was still one of the largest families in the city, and she was the only one of the two people in the city. After that, she and I relied on each other, sold some belongings, opened this restaurant, and I didn't want to make much money, as long as she was happy!"
"Yo! this is still a poignant and sad love story!" Dahan listened with interest, "But, why are everyone else dead, just the two of you, didn't you two sneak out to do that that night?"
Although his question was inappropriate, it hit the crux of the story, and Xuan Fei also wanted to know the reason.
"This~This~"
The middle-aged man looked a little embarrassed, his eyes dodged, as if he was subconsciously avoiding the topic, wanting to make up an answer, but he had no clue for a while.
"Hahaha! If you don't want to say it, forget it, I know that you old boy didn't do anything good with that old woman at that time!"
Dahan has a straightforward personality, and he didn't care about the details of the middle-aged man's expression at the moment, and it was true that the middle-aged man went out with the old woman that night, and he didn't want to see him embarrassed, so he stopped the topic.
But Xuan Fei felt that this matter was very strange.
The middle-aged man said that this old woman's family background was one of the best in the city, which means that there was at least one pillar of their family who was quite powerful or had a certain degree of cultivation, such as the current Pang family, who thought that the refining master was the pinnacle of foundation building.
Because there is such a number that can support the entire family figures, their family background can reach such a solid point, but how powerful the cultivators in the foundation building period are in the mortal world, how can they be wiped out overnight, could it be that they provoked the people in the immortal sect?
However, the Sword Hunting Pavilion has been standing in this East and West Dao for thousands of years, and it has not been heard that there are other immortal sects in this vicinity, not to mention, the imperial city is within this capital, who dares to make such a big move in the capital, is not afraid of alarming the people in the imperial city? Even if it is a small country, it is not surprising that there are one or two strong people who build the peak of the foundation or the Spiral Illumination Realm, right?
Looking at the appearance of this middle-aged man, it seems that he is hiding some extremely important things.
It's just that Xuan Fei is not interested in tracking down their old past, not to mention that the victim of this incident is the tricky and weird old woman. People don't want to see themselves, but they lick their faces to help her investigate the case of the door, what is this not a crime?
Moreover, if this matter is really related to cultivators, I am afraid that with his current strength in the first order of foundation building, he will only be able to take one more life. It was still important to do his own thing, Elder Zhang only gave him one day to go down the mountain.
The middle-aged man left in a hurry, looking quite nervous, and only after walking away did he take a long breath, his head covered with cold sweat, as if he had just come out of the tiger's den in Longtan.
Xuan Fei and Dahan continued to chat, and during the conversation, they learned that Dahan was a martial artist in another small city, and because he had some conflicts with their sect and another sect, he was sent by the head of the sect to order weapons.
The reason why the weapons of the Pang family are necessary is because the Pang family is the most famous refining family in the entire Eastern and Western Path, and the weapons they refine can help martial artists improve their combat effectiveness.
For their kind of thinking, Xuan Fei can understand, just like some consumers in the previous life, as long as they have enough money, they will definitely buy famous brands, because one is that they can pretend to be forced, and the other is that they think that if they are famous, the natural quality is good.
However, Xuan Fei told him very pertinently that good weapons are not necessarily only available to the Pang family, in fact, the Hundred Treasure Pavilion can also order good blades, and at the same time, he also took down the silver bird to show him.
After Dahan saw it, he was overjoyed and asked Xuan Fei which store he bought it, although their mortal martial artists didn't need such a superior weapon, but the quality of the silver bird and the introduction of the immortal Xuan Fei were enough for him to have enough trust in this store.
Xuan Fei naturally remembered the favor of the Pavilion Master of Baibao Pavilion in Yining Town, so he wrote a note with the detailed address and handed it to the man.
Coincidentally, the place where the Hanzi Sect was located was not far from Yining Town, and after thanking him repeatedly, he hurried to Yining Town with the address given to him by Xuan Fei.
After Xuan Fei left the noodle shop, he also followed the direction pointed out by the man and came to the door of the Pang Refining Hall.
This Ponzi Refining Hall is worthy of being one of the best families in the capital, and it is particularly brilliant compared to the nearby buildings. Outside the tall courtyard gate, there are two lifelike stone lions, with fangs and claws, round eyes and huge mouths, which are very fierce and mighty. On the steps stood two doormen, one on the left and one on the right, domineering.
"Hello, may I ask if this is the famous Ponzi Refining Hall!" Xuan Fei stepped forward and asked the two guards respectfully.
The doorman on the left, his eyes turned to look at Xuan Fei, he didn't make a sound, just pointed to the plaque on the tall door, which means that you can't see such a large door plaque and want to ask us, don't you have long eyes?
The doorman on the right simply didn't hear it, like a sculpture, and didn't react.
Of course, Xuan Fei's idea was that I opened by asking my name not because I didn't know that this was the Pang Refining Hall, but because I wanted to start the communication between us in this way, so that the next step would be to tell you that I had the introduction of your cousin in my hand.
Obviously, this mode of communication of his did not work, recalling the difference between the old woman and the big man before, he shook his head with a sigh, it seems that he still has to be a little stronger to have a good word with these guys.
Suddenly, his face changed, his eyebrows were upside down, his eyes were fierce, and he shouted: "Don't you two have long ears, what do you ask you about?"
