Volume 1: The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 16: Jian Yao is drunk and warm
Ning Yuan didn't look at the gray-clothed old Cai Tou, he rubbed his arm, turned his head and said to the beauty shopkeeper: "What about the shopkeeper Liu? Why, I haven't been here for three months, and this drunken Xiaolou has changed owners?"
After hearing Ning Yuan's words, the plump little lady brushed the green silk in her ear, and sat on the chair next to Ning Yuan, with a smile on her face.
She opened her bright cherry mouth and said: "This guest officer, I can't hide it, the little woman's surname is Wei, and she has left home since she was a child to do small business in various parts of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Last month, two truckloads of tea were transported through Xiema Town, and it happened that the shopkeeper of the drunken Xiaolou didn't want to do it, and he heard that there was an accident in the family, and he was in a hurry to return to Yangzhou. The slave family wandered for half their lives, and they also wanted to live a stable life, so they bought this drunken sky building with silver. However, the rich shopkeeper who sold the drunken Xiaolou to the slave family was surnamed Zhao, not surnamed Liu. Guest officer, please rest assured, although the shopkeeper of Zuixiao Tower has changed, the chef has not changed, and the taste of the wine and food will not change!"
In fact, Ning Yuan didn't remember the surname of the fat shopkeeper before this drunken Xiaolou at all, he was taking Gu Tiannan and a few of them on a trip to Yunzhou thousands of miles away three months ago.
Ning Yuan said this, just to explore the reality of this bewitching shopkeeper, he always had to be careful when walking the rivers and lakes, as soon as he stepped into this drunken skyscraper, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
After listening to Shopkeeper Wei's words, Ning Yuan smiled faintly and said: "Shopkeeper Wei, you are a weak woman who has traveled south and north, and has been crawling and rolling in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, it is really not easy, so how many men with eyebrows will be embarrassed! Bring me two taels of yellow wine, a plate of lion's head, if the taste is right, your reward is indispensable!"
"Okay, sir, wait a minute, the little girl will go and get you a drink!" Shopkeeper Wei stood up with a smile, twisted the waist of the water snake, and walked towards the counter in a charming manner.
Ning Yuan quietly glanced at a few other diners, the seven diners in the drunken sky tower were all men without exception, and they were all eating with their heads bored, none of them raised their heads to observe the beautiful scene when the water snake's waist twisted, could it be that they were all gentlemen and scholars who had read the "Don't look at incivility, don't move" sage and sage?
Ning Yuan frowned, he took the long sword from his back and slapped it on the table with a "snap".
Ning Yuan's sword Mo Lin has been shattered by the thunder, and now the long sword he brought is called "Yunhu", which was given to Ning Yuan by the eldest son Song Cheng'an before leaving by Wenyang Taishou Song Ye.
The Yunhu Sword is a good sword that cuts gold and jade and flickers, although it has the name of a sword but no sword, it has never seen blood since the day it was cast, and has been hidden in the scabbard and has not seen the light of day. For a Taishou like Song Ye, no matter how sharp the sword is, it is just an ornament that can slightly cover up the weakness of the text, and it is not a killing weapon in the eyes of the Jianghu people.
When Ning Yuan picked up his sword, a diner next to him who had just put the lion's head in his mouth was obviously a little nervous, he was slightly stunned with half of the lion's head in his mouth, paused for a moment and began to chew again.
Ning Yuan didn't seem to see anything, he just lowered his head and gently rubbed the Honghu pattern scabbard of the Yunhu Sword with his fingers, thoughtfully.
This old man Cai went out to lead the horse, even if the stable of the drunken Xiaolou was across the street, he should come back at this time. Ning Yuan's heart sank, he had played eagle all his life, if he was pecked blind by the wild sparrow in the end, then he would not fight the sword rivers and lakes in the future, it would be better to be like his senior brother Gu Fan, and honestly stay in Hongxuanzong to participate in Zen and enlightenment!
"Master, your rice wine is here!" Shopkeeper Wei walked over lightly, put the wine jug in front of Ning Yuan, and stood aside with a smile.
The rivers and lakes are interesting here, some people make you feel like a spring breeze on the surface, but in fact, she is thinking about how to take a few catties of meat off you.
"Shopkeeper Wei, I don't see that there are many customers in the store, it is better to condescend to sit down and have a few drinks with me, you go south and north to see a lot of knowledge, you might as well tell me about the strange things on the rivers and lakes, let me also have a long experience." If Shopkeeper Wei can sing a few songs and dance a long-sleeved dance of neon clothes, it would be the best. ”
Ning Yuan slowly poured the wine into the cup as he spoke, and half a drop of the wine was not spilled.
The smile on the plump little lady's face froze, and before she could answer, a black and strong diner who looked like a merchant next to her stood up, sat down beside Ning Yuan with a big grin, stretched out his right hand and slapped it heavily on the table, and the wine glass that Ning Yuan had just poured was shaken.
The merchant, who looked more like a horse thief and a bandit, said in a rough voice: "What's the matter! Drink your wine quickly! Look like a human and a dog, how can you do such a thing! Where do you come from a lonely ghost who dares to ...... in the drunken sky?"
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a chill in his chest, blood splattered out, and a three-inch-deep wound slashed from his left chest to his right face.
He didn't even see when Ning Yuan drew his sword and when he drew his sword, so he hurried to Huangquan, his death was terrifying.
The shopkeeper Wei who was standing on the side changed his expression greatly, his toes retreated sharply, and he broke four or five tables one after another, obviously extremely jealous of Ning Yuan, and her face was full of surprise as if she was saying: "When I saw you in Wenyang yesterday, I was still as weak as a half-dead person, how could I judge the two of you after only one night?"
Ning Yuan killed the enemy with a sword, and his sword was not old, his body shook and his wrist pressed, and he stabbed diagonally at the yellow-faced man who was sitting at the same table as the diners who had half of their faces cut off.
The diner, who was still chewing meatballs in his mouth, had just taken out two short knives from his sleeve, and before he could make half a move, he was pierced through his throat by Ning Yuan's sword.
One sword, two lives, the cloud hoat sword is not stained with blood.
Ning Yuan pushed down the yellow-faced swordsman who was not blind, and sat on the seat where the residual warmth was still alive, he held the sword in one hand, lifted the wine jug on the table with the other, and poured a large sip of wine with his head up.
Ning Yuan smashed his mouth, and said loudly: "Everyone is planning to ambush Ning Yuan at the Drunken Xiao Tower, which sect and which faction is it, please draw a way for me!"
Several people in the room deliberately hid their qi, and it was difficult for Ning Yuan to judge the level of their realm. As soon as the scolding black strong merchant slapped the table, Ning Yuan caught a glimpse of the thick calluses on his fingers, if it weren't for more than ten years of hard work, how could the joints of his fingers be so thick?
And the moment Ning Yuan took off the long sword, he keenly caught a trace of murderous aura that was not easy to detect. Since he was already under siege, the fewer enemies the better, so Ning Yuan struck first and killed the two enemies by surprise.
That night, after fighting Jiaolong to the death in Zhuquan Forest, Ning Yuan's swordsmanship and sword intent had broken through, and the few pills that were scavenged from Zhao Tianyang's body did work well, and the group of opponents of unknown origin in front of him suffered a big loss precisely because they underestimated Ning Yuan.
Hearing the sound in the house, Lao Caitou, who had gone out to lead the horse, finally came back, he didn't seem surprised by the scene in front of him at all, silently turned around and closed the door, and stared at Ning Yuan with his hands behind his back.
The shopkeeper of Wei, who retreated to two zhang away, lost his face, and Ning Yuan instantly killed the two third-grade masters in an instant, and the fierceness of the swordsmanship shocked her.
Ning Yuan's swordsmanship is so ruthless, it doesn't look like a master from a famous and decent family, and people in the Demon Sect are just like that! But Lao Cai Tou and herself are both real second-grade masters, plus the remaining five third-grade masters, they can't take a second-grade realm Ning Yuan? Even with the help of Hongxuanzong's elixir, Ning Yuan can't break through from the second-grade realm to the first-grade realm overnight!
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Wei settled down and returned to his previous style.
She slowly walked a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "Ning Zhenren is angry, angry!" We are not any sect or faction, nor is it a mountain, but when we take people's money, we naturally have to do things with others, and Ning Zhenren must understand this truth. The little woman has admired Ning Zhenren for a long time, and the demeanor of the sword just now made the little woman's heart ripple, and she couldn't wait to be a fairy couple with you and go away to the end of the world. But the little woman still has a reluctant request, the nine-day thunder tribulation that appeared in the middle of the night on the South Mountain of Zhuquan Lin, please Ning Zhenren to tell the little woman carefully about the cause and effect. After speaking, what Ning Zhenren commanded, the little woman should obey it. ”
After speaking, Shopkeeper Wei didn't forget to throw Ning Yuan a flattering look and bit his slender fingers like jade onions.
Ning Yuan listened patiently, and also had a rough judgment on the opponents in front of him in his heart, except for the two diners who had been killed by his own move, there were two second and five third grades left.
The old Cai head who was blocking the door had an unknown breath, and he seemed to be a little stronger than the sharp-toothed shopkeeper Wei. In the middle-level sects on the rivers and lakes, one or two second-grade masters are enough to laugh at the rivers and lakes. It seems that the mastermind of this ambush after the fact can really look down on him Ning Yuan, such a luxurious battle must be the handiwork of the big faction on the rivers and lakes.
After all, Ning Yuan is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and he dares to go up and play with his life in the face of a dragon that is more than 20 zhang long, not to mention these masters of the rivers and lakes in front of him?
Ning Yuan took another sip of wine, and said in a calm tone: "The person in charge of the Wei shopkeeper is good, and the wine is also good! It's a pity that Ning is a rough person, he doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and only knows how to dance the sword and make the sword." The Nine Days Thunder Tribulation on the South Mountain of Zhuquan Forest is rare for a hundred years, and even the old master who has read thousands of books may not be able to tell why. If Ning Mou uses the strength of wine to open his mouth, how can you distinguish the true from the false? If you want to fight or kill, come quickly, Ning Mou is too lazy to lie to you!"
After speaking, Ning Yuan lowered his head and glanced at the Yunhu Sword in his hand, and sighed in his heart: "Hanging in the dark cloud tower of the Song Mansion, I really wronged you!"
Shopkeeper Wei leaned on a mahogany pillar on his back, and said with a three-inch golden lotus: "Ning Zhenren, even if you grow two wings today, you won't be able to fly out." Don't toast and don't eat and drink, my mother has a thousand ways to make you obedient, and we are not afraid of you lying. As long as what you say is one word different from what they said, the old lady will skin and cramp your little disciples, gouge out their eyes and cut off their tongues! Ning Zhenren, it doesn't matter if you don't spare your life, but can you watch those seven little disciples all become wasters?"
Don't look at the appearance of the shopkeeper Wei, but she is a beautiful snake with an extremely vicious heart, her words are like poisonous fangs, poking Ning Yuan's weakness every sentence!
