Chapter 40: Listen to the Wind
The three-day trek is actually nothing to Xiao Feng and Yu Yi, after all, the two of them have been traveling abroad for three years, and this kind of experience is completely commonplace. But considering that he had two oil bottles with him, Xiao Feng decided to delay the trip and rest for two days in Zhenjiang County before going on the road.
Time should be enough anyway.
Moreover, although Miao Miao Lou explained the matter here in advance with Xiao Feng, it proved that the matter here was not a big deal, but everyone was curious, and Xiao Feng had always been a very curious child, so since he would not delay the matter, he would ask what was going on by the way, and it would be interesting to hear about it.
The group of people were not very picky people, so after just a few turns around the city, the group chose a place to stay for a while.
"'Listen to the wind and rain across the river, and look at the water and the stars in the moon. Just looking at this couplet, this Listening Wind Inn can be regarded as an elegant place. After carefully reading the couplets on the door of the inn back and forth several times, Xiao Tianyue was finally willing to enter the noisy Listening Wind Inn with the others. However, when she entered the door, she still shook her head and sighed with emotion with a scholarly spirit, and Xu Tianwang rolled her eyes when she saw several big men.
"Sister Tianyue, you are wrong. This couplet here means that the hustle and bustle of the city, as long as the people who enter the inn have the leisure to listen to the wind and rain, and look at the elegance of the moon, don't mind the hustle and bustle in the inn. Luo Tianyi, who was exquisite, obviously heard Xiao Tianyue's words at once, this was a clear irony, and couldn't help but giggle and replied.
Xiao Tianyue was slightly stunned, then blinked, "Is that so," and turned her gaze to Xiao Feng, "Childe?"
Xiao Feng smiled and shook his head, "I don't know, I think for myself." ”
As he spoke, he ignored her and went straight to the inn.
Seeing this, Luo Tianyi grimaced at Xiao Tianyue, and followed Xiao Feng into the inn.
Xiao Tianyue pursed her lips boringly, and seeing that none of the people were waiting for her, she had to follow her quickly.
As soon as you enter the inn, you will be greeted by people who are drinking and talking, and the discussions are all about recent events, so it seems that you must be well-informed to get the news here, and you really deserve the name of listening to the wind.
"Xiao Sheng heard that the two major forces of Qinghua Mountain and the Beggar Gang have sent people, I wonder if this is true?" At this moment, a scholar's inquiry floated into Xiao Feng's ears.
"This is still false, aren't these two groups of people living in the Reflecting Moon Inn on the next street?" followed by a hearty man's voice, although it was a rhetorical question, the tone was very affirmative.
Xiao Feng turned his head to look, and saw two white-faced scholars and three sturdy men in linen in front of the window table not far away, pushing cups and changing lamps. He couldn't help but shake his head, and he didn't know how the two groups of people who had nothing to do with each other got together. However, it seems to be interesting. After a slight hesitation, Xiao Feng said hello to Yu Yi and the others, and found an empty seat to sit down, intending to listen.
Seeing this, a few people didn't plan to go upstairs first, so they also learned from Xiao Feng to find a seat next to each other and sit down.
"Hmm, isn't it the one in the east of the city, and what kind of force is that in the east of the city?" At this moment, a young man in green clothes at the other table looked back and said in surprise.
"There is Qianyun Mountain, those second-rate forces of the Biluo Sect. Another strong man interjected.
"Okay, don't be so absent-minded, second-rate forces are not easy to mess with. Another strong man slammed his fist on the strong man's chest and reminded.
"By the way, the elder brother didn't talk about the east of the city, the younger brother forgot, was there someone making trouble in the east of the city yesterday?" another white-faced scholar interjected, obviously much smarter and more free and easy than the previous one.
"Yes, I heard that it was from the Biluo Sect, and it seems that it was a fight with a swordsman who has no sect and no faction. Another young man in a light blue robe at the same table as the young man in Tsing Yi said casually.
"Oops, how's that going?" said a few people at the nearby table, who were all interested, and someone urged.
"yes, who won?"
"I was stopped halfway through, and I heard that it seemed to be the hand of the old man who struck the iron. The young man still looked indifferent.
"Impossible!" said many onlookers.
"How is it impossible, I heard that Lao Zhangtou seems to be an ethereal man. There are also people who say that they are sure.
"This is true, I was there at the time, and Lao Zhangtou admitted it himself. The young man in the light blue robe replied again.
"Hey, I heard that there are also troublemakers in the north of the city, it seems that a cloth shop owner stepped in to stop it, and it is also a person from the ethereal building, is this true?"
"Really, I know that, too. The young man in the light blue robe replied flatly.
"When I go, how do I feel that the people in this ethereal building no longer hide their identities, as if there are ethereal people everywhere overnight. Someone sighed.
"Not really. ”
As soon as Xiao Fengfu sat down, he heard such a discussion, and couldn't help but shake his head amusedly. At this moment, Xiao Tianyue approached Xiao Feng and said in a low voice: "Childe, is that blue-clothed person from our building, how do you feel as if he knows everything?"
Xiao Feng smiled, "No, there are no such good people in our building. ”
"What a great joy, how does Childe know?" Xiao Tianyue said in surprise.
Xiao Feng continued to smile, "You only saw that the young man seemed to be calm and calm, but don't you think he seems to be a little too showy?"
Xiao Tianyue blinked, not understanding.
Xiao Feng patiently explained, "First, he is very good at arousing people's appetites, which makes people have to be curious, and second, you didn't find that just a few words, that young man has a lot of say in the crowd? Looking calm, in fact, people have to pay attention to him unconsciously." ”
Luo Tianyi interjected from the side: "But that big brother seems to be very powerful." ”
Xiao Feng nodded approvingly, "Very scheming and smart, but our Ethereal Building is not suitable for him." ”
When Xu Tianwang heard this, a different color flashed in his eyes. Is this also the reason why the teenager rejected me?
Yu Yi sighed slightly on the side. Everyone didn't know the selection criteria for the teenager, but he knew it very well. The first thing to look at is not ability, but heart and character. In the end, the ethereal building is growing too fast, if the people's hearts are not aligned, no matter how strong the ability is, it is useless.
At this moment, there was a loud talk on the next table.
"Do you know who those white-clothed knights who threatened to take in apprentices? ”
"Isn't it from the Moon Cold Palace?" someone immediately responded.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, where is the man from the Moon Cold Palace?" the white-clothed young man who looked like a gentleman reprimanded.
"I heard that it seems to be sent by Mu Xue, but I haven't heard of it before. A small, swarthy man said uncertainly.
Xiao Feng and the four of them all frowned, the matter here was actually caused by the Mu Xue faction.
"But it seems that many of these Jianghu people have come here to see the ability of the Mu Xue faction. The young man in the light blue robe interjected lightly at this time, "And I heard that there are still many people who want to worship the Muxue faction." ”
"So powerful, why haven't you heard of it before?" there was another uproar in the inn.
"It seems to be a hidden force, and this is planning to re-emerge. Someone in the inn added.
Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows and looked up at the crowd suddenly. The Mu Xue faction is a hidden force that ordinary people will not know. However, the crowd was mixed, and he only saw a corner of his clothes, which seemed to be the little black man.
"How can there be a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings?" At the same time, another fluttering word came out of the crowd.
Xiao Feng smiled slightly, it seemed that some people were afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
"Not really. ”
"Yes. ”
"It's a bit of a stagger. Immediately afterwards, some people echoed it, and there were many people who agreed.
"Not only that, have you heard that the Poplar League has already sent out the first challenge post?" a table in the center of the inn suddenly roared.
"I've heard, I've heard. It seems to be for the Moon Cold Palace. Someone in the crowd quickly responded.
"I'll go, it's really the Moon Cold Palace, I thought I heard it wrong. At first, the three strong men at the table sighed almost at the same time.
"Cut, what's so strange about this. Among the first-class forces, the Moon Cold Palace is the weakest, and if the Poplar Alliance doesn't take it first, who will open the knife?" said lightly.
"That's right. Sure enough, there was a lot of harmony around him.
"Also, I heard from the grapevine, don't spread the word, I heard that our emperor seems to want to have a Songshan appointment with the ethereal son, I don't know if it's true or not, but there must be no wind and no waves, nine times out of ten. ”
"Wouldn't it?"
Xiao Feng and the others were a little silent.
"Childe, wouldn't the big man you are talking about be the Emperor of the Brook Breeze?" After a few breaths, Xiao Tianyue asked in a low voice
"Hmm. Xiao Feng nodded calmly.
"Then Brother Xiao still said that he couldn't say it. Luo Tianyi pursed her lips dissatisfied.
Xiao Tianyue also pursed her lips, very dissatisfied.
Xiao Feng shrugged helplessly, "At that time, I really couldn't say, I didn't know that the secret of heaven could not be revealed." ”
The two were unmoved, and said in unison: "Liar, I don't listen." ”
Xiao Feng couldn't laugh or cry a little.
"Then the young master ......" After a few more breaths, Yu Yi opened his mouth with some hesitation, after all, Emperor Xifeng is Xiao Feng's father, and when the two meet, if they show any horses' feet, what should they do?
Xiao Feng smiled and nodded at Yu Yi, "Don't worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." ”
