Chapter 522: Another Pit?
The rest of the story went more smoothly than expected, Huang Yuchen and Qi Liu crossed the first path and arrived on another street, which was as lively as before, but obviously no one recognized Huang Yuchen anymore.
The side street is not long, and in the center there is a large wooden sign with various notes pasted on it. There are those who resell things, those who sell cultivation resources, and those who are looking for cultivation partners, Huang Yuchen looked at it for a while, and finally found the information of a rental house. Pasted in an inconspicuous position, the text on this note is very simple, but it draws a more detailed circuit diagram.
Huang Yuchen took down the note, followed the route map marked on it, turned around along the street, and finally found the house to rent after a stick of incense.
It is a small three-story building, which looks antique, and compared to the surrounding buildings, it is obviously much more elegant. The door of the small building was closed, and the same rental notice was posted at the door. Huang Yuchen stood at the door, looked at the building in front of him, scratched his head, and said to himself: "Such a big building, how much does it cost to rent it." ”
Huang Yuchen glanced at Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an behind him, these two obviously didn't mean to step forward and knock on the door, Huang Yuchen had no choice but to step forward by himself and knock on the door gently.
After a while, the door opened gently, and a playful and cute girl poked her head out, stared at a pair of watery eyes and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, little girl. Huang Yuchen smiled at the little girl and said, "I saw the notice of your rental, so I came to take a look." ”
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, opened the door entirely, made a way, and said, "Then please come in." Anyway, he didn't care about Huang Yuchen and the others, and he didn't go to guide a few people, and he jumped into the door by himself.
Huang Yuchen felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't say what was wrong, Qi and Liu were still fine, and their clothes didn't matter to them. I could only shake my head helplessly, follow the little girl, and walk in the direction of Xiaolou.
It may be that the area where the registered disciples are assigned is limited, the streets of this small town are relatively narrow, and there are no gaps between buildings, and the buildings are densely built, and walking in the streets will give people an indescribable feeling of oppression. But this small courtyard is different, the courtyard is obviously much more spacious, and the distance from the gate to the small building can catch up with the width of the street outside.
This courtyard is very elegantly arranged, although it is not like a wealthy compound in the world, but it is also elegant and orderly, which makes people feel refreshed.
"Daddy, someone has come to see the house. The little girl jumped into the room and greeted loudly, and then, Huang Yuchen only felt a breeze in front of him, and then a black shadow appeared in front of him, this person was so fast that he almost didn't react.
It wasn't until this person stood in front of him that Huang Yuchen hurriedly stopped, looked up, and saw that the person in front of him was at least a head taller than himself, this person's beard was fluttering, and an obvious scar on his left cheek was from top to bottom, destroying his originally very handsome face, and it looked a little hideous. At this moment, he was looking at Huang Yuchen quietly, and he had no intention of getting out of the way, nor did he mean to speak.
"Uh...... This senior, we are ......" Such a person suddenly appeared in front of him, which took time to startle Huang Yuchen, but when he entered the courtyard of the house, he still greeted politely, but halfway through, he was interrupted by this person.
"Do you know what kind of place this is?" This person lowered his head and glared at Huang Yuchen, he seemed to have a kind of pressing momentum on his body, this momentum rushed towards Huang Yuchen like a wave, making Huang Yuchen involuntarily take a step back, and a fine bead of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
At this moment, Huang Yuchen felt that he was not facing a person, but a long sword that had killed countless people, and if he made any rash moves, he would immediately die tragically on the spot.
He had never encountered such a feeling, while taking a step back, his whole body was in a cold sweat, he looked at the person in front of him, his steps retreated slightly, ready to fight at any time, but his face still maintained a talented look, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I don't know." ”
Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an also felt that something was not quite right in the atmosphere, walked to Huang Yuchen's left and right, and looked straight at the middle-aged man standing at the door, and his momentum was not inferior to him.
"I don't know what kind of place this is, and what do you say you want to rent here?" Get out!" The middle-aged man frowned, and he didn't know where he got his anger, pointed out the door, opened his mouth and issued an eviction order.
Huang Yuchen's mind was a little calm at the moment, and this person's attitude made him feel a little angry in his heart, and said: "I found it after reading the notice you posted on the street, if this place is not rented, why do you post the notice?
The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, looked at Huang Yuchen, his tone softened a little, and said with a slight inquiry: "You, did you just come?"
"Don't I need to rent a house when I just came?" Huang Yuchen asked back without showing weakness, this middle-aged man gave him an inexplicable feeling, and he didn't know where this person's anger came from, and he felt as if he was going to kill himself.
The middle-aged man didn't speak, but looked Huang Yuchen up and down, and then looked at Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an beside Huang Yuchen, and then nodded lightly after a while, and said, "Since that's the case, come in." After throwing down these words, this person turned his head and walked in without saying a word, leaving Huang Yuchen and Qi Liu staring wide-eyed, not knowing what was going on.
"Hey, I'm afraid this man is not a fool. Qi Zhengye whispered in Huang Yuchen's ear.
"Not really. Huang Yuchen shook his head lightly and replied in a low voice: "This person must be a master, I clearly felt the momentum on his body just now, if this person makes a move, I am afraid that he can easily kill me." ”
"So exaggerated?" Liu Xingan also whispered on the side: "Why don't we leave, this place doesn't look quite right." ”
Huang Yuchen looked at Liu Xing'an, nodded slightly, and the three of them retreated gently, intending to withdraw from the courtyard slowly.
"Let you come in!" the voice of a middle-aged man suddenly came from inside the door, "If you go out now, you will die." ”
As soon as the words fell, the door behind the three of them suddenly closed automatically, and when they heard the sound of the door closing behind them, Huang Yuchen and the three of them looked back, and then looked at each other, and the expressions on the faces of several people were not very good-looking.
"Damn, I'm afraid I've entered some kind of thief's den again. "Huang Yuchen's face is a little ugly, the water of this Red Rainbow Sect is too deep, one step at a time.
"I can't go, why don't you go in and have a look?" Qi Zhengye was still the same as usual, as if nothing had happened, and he even looked a little interested.
Huang Yuchen sighed lightly, the matter has come to this, look at the meaning of this middle-aged man, if a few people don't go in, I'm afraid they will have to make a move, although I don't know what place this is, and I don't know what kind of person this middle-aged man is, Huang Yuchen still took a step forward and entered the small building in front of him.
The interior of the small building, the layout is also very elegant and tidy, all kinds of furniture are readily available, the first floor is obviously a reception area, a few people come into the hall, there are a few chairs and small tables on the left and right, but there is no special seat for the master in the middle. At this moment, the middle-aged man with a fierce face was sitting on a chair, looking straight at a few people, and the little girl was standing next to this person, smiling at a few people.
Seeing this situation, Huang Yuchen stepped forward, bowed to the middle-aged man, and said respectfully: "Disturb the seniors, the juniors only came here after seeing the rental notice you posted, and there is no intention to disturb the seniors, if the seniors' residence is not rented, then we will leave now." ”
"Are you surnamed Huang?" The middle-aged man did not directly answer Huang Yuchen's words, but looked him up and down a lot, and asked such a sentence.
Huang Yuchen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: Could it be that the matter of the fight between himself and Li Ze has already been spread here? Isn't it, doesn't the Red Rainbow Sect have this tradition, and the challenge can be carried out at any time? Why is this happening?
"Uh...... It's the juniors. Huang Yuchen was stunned for a moment, but still generously admitted that there was nothing to hide about this matter.
"Good. The middle-aged man nodded lightly and said, "My residence is to be rented, but my conditions are a bit harsh, if you can do it, the house will give you free living, if you can't do it, I will kill you." ”
Huang Yuchen was stunned again when he heard this, and there was an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, showed an incomprehensible expression, and said: "Senior, it's a big deal that I don't rent the house, I have no grievances with you, why did my predecessor ask for my life many times?"
"You have come here because you have been calculated. The middle-aged man looked at Huang Yuchen and said in a flat tone: "If you can fulfill the conditions I gave you, the house is free to live in, if you can't complete it, I want your life, this is the condition I gave to the person who calculated you, and he agreed." ”
"Huh?" Huang Yuchen immediately fainted, and said: "Who agreed? Senior, I didn't agree, or you let me out, I won't live here, and I sleep on the street is better than losing my life." ”
For what this middle-aged man said, Huang Yuchen was very helpless, both helpless and angry. Who the hell wants to toss himself like this and set himself up like this? The middle-aged man in front of him is obviously a big master, and if he wants his own life, he should be able to catch it. Until now, Huang Yuchen was confused and didn't figure out what was going on.
"Oh, the person who made a deal with me and calculated you, called Xiao Yibo, I had a relationship with him decades ago, he came to me this time, and he made it clear that he wanted you to live here, and he also said that if you can't fulfill my conditions, I can kill you. The middle-aged man raised his eyes and glanced at Huang Yuchen casually, as if to say another ordinary thing.
But when Huang Yuchen heard this, he was really shocked.
Uncle Xiao Yibo? He found such a big master, and he wanted to kill himself? Huang Yuchen could hardly believe his ears, he looked at the middle-aged man, his tone was a little stammered, and said, "You...... What are you talking about...... Who is it? Xiao Yibo from the East Palace?"
"Yes, that's him. The middle-aged man nodded slightly.
"Where is he now?" Huang Yuchen was still a little stunned, and he didn't believe what the middle-aged man said.
"Just left, about half an hour. The middle-aged man said casually: "He made a deal with me, you live here, I can protect your safety, but if you can't fulfill my conditions, then I can kill you." The middle-aged man said, and also smiled at Huang Yuchen, this smile brought the scars on his face, and the whole person looked hideous and terrifying.
