Chapter 17: The Man Comes
"Who are we waiting for?"
Wang Laogou chuckled, looked up at the sky in the distance, and said slowly: "Wait for an old guy!"
......
In Poyang City, this old man and young man have nothing to do, wandering around the city aimlessly all day long. In the words of Wang Laogou, this is another way of cultivation, entering the world to practice in the deep alleys of the city streets, feeling the breath of fireworks, and washing one's body and soul.
But Li Changfeng scoffed at this, following the old guy's ass every day, eating this meal and drinking the next meal, the money bag snatched from Qin Shou's hand has already seen the bottom.
"I said you old guy, what do you want to wait for? I was originally a few dozen taels of silver, and you drank and ate meat all day long, you see, there is still one or two left, if it is spent, don't you and I just lie on the street and drink the northwest wind?" Li Changfeng muttered and kept complaining.
Wang Laogou just chuckled, and said indifferently: "Money is something outside the body, you kid must not be blinded by it, besides, you kid these broken silver, aren't they all snatched from others? What does the old man use a little? It's a big deal to wait for Ming'er to find a few more ruffians and hooligans and loot them." ”
Hehe, ruffians and hooligans? Where are there so many ruffians and hooligans for you to loot? Li Changfeng secretly slandered himself.
At this moment, from the street not far away, there were bursts of insults and wails, and the crowd dispersed in all directions as if they had met a fierce tiger or beast.
Li Changfeng didn't know why, so he turned his head and looked at Wang Laogou.
Wang Laogou said slowly: "Now, isn't the silver coming?"
After speaking, he stopped caring about Li Changfeng and walked towards that side by himself. Li Changfeng paused and followed.
I saw that Qin Shou, who was beaten up by Li Changfeng a few days ago, took more than a dozen of his subordinates at this time, and kicked around with extreme arrogance, overturning one stall after another on the side of the road.
Li Changfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly, why do you say that this Qin lifespan is so bad?
Needless to say, let's go to the chivalrous deeds!
When Li Changfeng walked to Wang Laogou's side and stopped, Qin Shou over there suddenly saw the two of them. Frightened, this kid turned his head and wanted to flee with his brothers, but at this time, Li Changfeng stopped him.
"Yo, isn't this a beast?Why are you so free to wander the streets today?" Li Changfeng walked towards Qin Shou step by step, and his mouth was still sarcastic.
To tell you the truth, that Qin Shou is really fucking unlucky! You said that since he was beaten up by Li Changfeng a few days ago, this guy thought that the two outsiders, one old and one young, should leave, so he took the gang of scoundrels under his command and started to do evil again.
But he never expected that Li Changfeng and the others were still in Poyang City, not only that, but their gang had just come out today, and they wanted to find the feeling of doing bad things on weekdays, so they ran into Li Changfeng and the one-legged old man!
Grandma's, it's so unlucky!
"Hey, hey, Li...... Li Daxia, I have nothing to do, can I take my brothers to go around casually! Yes, just take ...... around" At this time, Qin Shou had already turned around, rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
Li Changfeng felt a chill for no reason, didn't say anything, took out the money bag from his arms, took out the remaining broken silver inside, and with a wave of his wrist, he threw the empty money bag in front of Qin Shou.
"This ......"
Qin Shou didn't know why, he was stunned on the spot, but when a person next to him said a few words in his ear, this guy suddenly understood, and hurriedly took out the twenty taels of silver in his arms, filled the empty money bag on the ground, and was extremely respectful, and presented it to Li Changfeng with both hands.
When Li Changfeng saw it, he was immediately in a good mood, he didn't think that this guy was still a knowledgeable person, so he unceremoniously took the money bag and stuffed it back into his arms.
Li Changfeng looked at Qin Shou, who nodded, waved his hand and said, "Get out!" This hero is in a good mood and doesn't have the same knowledge as you, but if I run into you again in the future, I will definitely not forgive!"
"Thank you Li Daxia for sparing your life! Thank you for sparing your life!"
Qin Shou and the others made a gesture towards Li Changfeng, and suddenly a group of people rushed into the distance, as if Li Changfeng could eat people.
"Hehe, you stinky boy, you usually look like a nobody, how can you deal with these ruffians so hard?" At this moment, Wang Laogou's voice came from behind Li Changfeng.
Li Chang didn't look back, sneered lightly, and said slowly: "These people have done a lot of evil, if it weren't for my good mood today, I would definitely not have slaughtered them!
"Hehe, slaughter them? Those Buddhist disciples all pay attention to treating the wicked well, just as the so-called put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, why don't you kid give a few of them some chance to reform themselves?"
Li Changfeng suddenly looked back at Wang Laogou, and said angrily: "You old guy kills the most people, but what do I talk about 'putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha on the ground', I think you are the biggest villain in the world!"
Hearing this, Wang Laogou immediately laughed, only to see his right hand rubbing the cane under his left ribs, looking at the empty left leg trousers, and his voice was full of coldness: "Hehe, the wicked ......"
--
Poyang City is very large, and Li Changfeng can clearly feel that compared to the previous places like Runan City and Northern Hanzhou City, the scope of Poyang City is really much larger.
Now Li Changfeng and Wang Laogou repeat the same thing every day, find an inn to live in at night, wait until the morning to make some food at will, and go to the city to wander around after breakfast.
I don't know who the old guy asked him to wait for here, it's been so long, and there's no accurate word, who knows who he and who will come if the two of them are going to wait?
On this day, after breakfast, Li Changfeng followed Wang Laogou's ass as usual, wandering aimlessly on the streets of the west of the city.
The sun was shining, it was the middle of May, and the huge scorching sun was hanging overhead, and the people who were shining directly were sweating and weak. Poyang City is located in the extreme north, with four distinct seasons, but once it is May, the weather is extremely hot, and compared to the other cities of the Cullinan Dynasty, there seems to be something unusual here.
But the people who live here have been in Poyang City for generations, within a radius of 100 miles, almost all of them have regarded this unusual thing as an ordinary thing, these native Poyang people, have long forgotten the few words handed down by their ancestors at that time, and to this day, not many people really remember what those words are, anyway, it is related to Poyang City, and all Poyang people.
Li Changfeng followed behind Wang Laogou listlessly, took steps with great difficulty, carried the heavy ancient knife on his back, and walked all the way along the streets in the west of the city.
"What the hell do you think we're doing here, old fellow? The sun is so big that the people who shine on it are all tired and have no energy at all. It's been five or six days, but I still haven't waited for the person you said, if that person doesn't show up, will we just live here for the rest of our lives?" Li Changfeng bent over, leaned over, and kept complaining.
Wang Laogou is still holding on to the crutches, although this old guy is already slightly frosty on his temples, full of white hair, and the wrinkles on his face are like coiled branches, but he has no decadence at all, he is refreshed, extremely energetic, and looks better than Li Changfeng.
"Why do I say that you kid talk so much? The old man asked you to wait for someone here, that's where the old man's reasoning lies! Look at what you look like now? You don't practice well these days, you just care about drinking wine and eating meat, are you worthy of the internal strength given to you by the Northern Hellcold Snake?" Wang Laogou still walked forward and said without looking back.
Hearing the old guy say this, Li Changfeng suddenly became angry, pouted and complained: "I don't follow you around all day? How can I have free time to practice? Besides, with such a big sun on my head, people who are sweating and tired all over, how can I have the spirit to practice?"
"The old man has found out, you stinky boy can't do anything but complain! Who said that if you follow the old man, you can't practice? Could it be that you think that you can practice by sitting like a stone all day long? Or is it just practicing by waving a broken blade all the time? Those are just the paths taken by ordinary people, and the old man has already told you that you are different from ordinary people, so the path you have to take in practicing is also different!"
"Oh, old man, what do you mean by that?" Li Changfeng suddenly became interested, and asked with a prickly ear.
Wang Laogou chuckled, and then said: "The so-called martial arts cultivation is just to give full play to your own potential, you are only eighteen years old this year, and you have studied hard in the past eighteen years, and you are a talented life." But for most of my life, it's completely different......"
"What do you mean?"
"Hehe, do you think it's really a coincidence that the old man met you in the dungeon of the Beihan Prefecture Mansion? But the specific reason can't tell you now, when the time comes, the old man will solve all the confusion in your heart, but before that, you kid still have to hurry up and practice, because there is not much time left for the two of us......"
Wang Laogou continued as he walked: "You are different from ordinary people, you have the lifelong cultivation of the Northern Immortal Cold Snake, and you also hold the Beichen Ancient Sword, your talent is peerless, rare in the world!
"What is the word 'Sui'?" Li Changfeng asked with a frown.
"The so-called 'with' word is to do what you want, move with things, be born with people, and meet at any time!"
"Can you old man not be so chattering? Say something I can understand!" Li Changfeng suddenly became angry, you said something about this old guy, and your head was like a lump of mush, and he couldn't understand anything.
Wang Laogou smiled and said slowly: "In other words, you are easier to practice than ordinary people. The heart moves at will, attacking and defending God, and the truth is found for this. Although you are now following the old man's ass all day long, wandering aimlessly in this Poyang City, it is a great cultivation for you! As long as you have the heart to practice, no matter where you are, it is for cultivation, and that is the case!"
"I still don't understand!" Li Changfeng was silent for a while, and popped out such a sentence.
provoked Wang Laogou to be furious, and smashed on the kid's ass with a cane, and said angrily: "Why are you so stupid?
The old guy's words, Li Changfeng understood, the emotion is to let himself understand the previous fighting scenes, learn from them, and make up for the shortcomings!
"You said that earlier, so don't I understand everything?" Li Changfeng muttered and kept complaining.
Wang Laogou suddenly glared at him fiercely, so frightened that this kid didn't dare to put a fart indiscriminately, and immediately closed his mouth.
--
After the conversation just now, Li Changfeng, this kid, suddenly quieted down, his brows furrowed, and he kept thinking about the battles he had been fighting for a while. First, he went out of the dungeon of the Northern Cold State, and witnessed the old guy fighting with the peak of the Northern Cold Snake at the top of Kunlun. Immediately afterwards, in Runan City, he met the Black Wind Protector, You Mingyuan and those subordinates of Pinan Helm, and then in this Poyang City......
And Wang Laogou was also happy, without Li Changfeng's kid babbling from time to time, the old guy was suddenly relieved and relaxed.
At this time, it was noon, and half a day passed quietly, and the two of them had walked such a long way in the west of the city, and they were already hungry and had a dry mouth.
Therefore, Wang Laogou took Li Changfeng to a restaurant, called the little two to serve some good wine and food, and ate slowly.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the two of them were already full, Li Changfeng settled the meal money with a depressed face, and the old and the young began to wander around the street again.
A whole afternoon passed, and the two of them still didn't get anything, and they didn't wait for the person Wang Laogou said, and the day passed like this......
As the sun set, Li Changfeng followed behind Wang Laogou's buttocks, muttering incessantly.
"You dead old man! Another day has passed, but we still haven't met! The person you are talking about, if he really came, would have come a long time ago, how could he wait until now?"
Wang Laogou glared at him, and said in a deep voice: "If you kid can change this impatient temper, your achievements in the future will be absolutely limitless!
Li Changfeng raised his head and looked at Wang Laogou, and then lowered his noble head helplessly, he neither refuted nor admitted Wang Laogou's words.
--
When the evening came as scheduled, the two found an inn again, stayed in, scribbled a few roast chickens and ducks, drank a few bottles of wine, and then returned to their respective rooms.
Wandering around the west of the city all day, Li Changfeng was tired enough, no, just after dinner, this kid went directly into his room, and he didn't take off his clothes, just lying on the bed, and before a cup of tea, he fell asleep directly.
Wang Laogou lives next door to Li Changfeng, and the reason why he didn't ask for a room with this kid is that he actually has his plans!
According to his understanding, if the man wanted to come, it would definitely be at night. And if he lives in the same room with that kid, if that kid wakes up at that time, it is likely that something will happen, and as for what happened, this old guy doesn't dare to think about it.
The man he was waiting for had blood on his hands decades ago, and more than twice as many people had died at the hands of that man than the old guy!
When the world mentions the four great figures of martial arts back then, they all talk about it, but if they mention that person, they will definitely feel a chill in their hearts!
That person was named the title of "peerless demon" by the people in the martial arts, although he was not a demon at all, but compared to the real demon, it was definitely much more terrifying!
At this time, Wang Laogou was sitting on a bench in the room, and there was a jar of wine and two bowls on the wooden table in front of him. Next to it was Li Changfeng's Beichen ancient knife, and the kid had been wondering what the old guy was going to do with this broken knife at night.
He had a hunch that the man would probably come tonight!
Sure enough, when the old guy had just filled himself with a bowl of wine, a figure suddenly flashed out of the window, and the figure fell straight into the room, sitting on the bench opposite Wang Laogou like an acquaintance!
Wang Laogou's fists suddenly clenched.
But after a while, he loosened his fists again, picked up the jar of wine on the table, and poured a bowl for the man.
"You're still here!" Wang Laogou's unhurried words came.
The man was dressed in a gray robe, holding a whisk in his right hand, his long gray-white hair was tied back his shoulders, and his eyes were white!
He is the person Wang Laogou is waiting for, the famous demon Dao Tu Lao Qi in the rivers and lakes!
The gray-robed Taoist chuckled at the corner of his mouth, unceremoniously picked up the bowl of wine in front of him, touched it with Wang Laogou, raised his neck and drank it.
At this time, the gray-robed Daoist said slowly: "If the poor Dao doesn't come, won't you old dog be very disappointed?"
Wang Laogou's palms were a little sweaty, but his face was still unwavering, and he said slowly: "Of course! I can drink a bowl of wine with the Demon Dao Tu Lao Qi who was powerful in the world decades ago, if the old man says it, I really don't know how the people of the world should think of me." ”
The gray-robed Taoist was sitting precariously, his figure seemed to be integrated with heaven and earth, like a boulder, motionless.
But when he heard Wang Laogou say that, the gray-robed Taoist still spoke: "I don't know if you say this, Old Dog, is it hurting me or praising me?"
Wang Laogou chuckled lightly and said lightly: "It's a loss or a boast, why do you care?"
"Yes, fifty years of fluctuations, the world's heroes, all died in the rolling waves, in a sentence only, why should the poor road be so persistent? Old dog, as early as thirty years ago, you and I had today's appointment, and now you have found that kid, and the time has come. You and me, today's battle, wash away the past, break grievances, no matter what the result is, as soon as tonight passes, you and I will be like strangers, neither enemy nor friend!"
