CHAPTER XXIII

Legend has it that the underworld north of the North Sea is the shoulder of a giant beast, and under the giant beast there is a path to the Nine Shadows, where the billions of living beings in the human world will return forever after death.

"Son, where are you going to go for the first stop in Middle-earth?"

Listening to the question of Xiangzhang in his ear, Xu Yuntian couldn't help but think of an old man.

A year ago, he met a young swordsman in tattered clothes and holding a broken iron sword in front of the tall sword gate of the Xishu Sword Sect, the swordsman looked a little younger than him, and rushed to the mountain gate of the Xishu Sword Sect with a broken iron sword, while shouting that Jiang Ming, the first disciple of the third generation of Zhanlu Mountain, came to worship the mountain, wanting to borrow the "Tiangan" sword of the Xishu Sword Sect to take a look!

The slogan was shouted very loudly, and the means were really not very clever, and within two clicks, they were knocked over on the ground by the young disciples of the Xishu Sword Sect and thrown out, and before leaving, they did not forget to pick up the tattered iron sword and said that they would cast the world's first magic arrow and come to worship the mountain again.

Xu Yuntian admired this young man named Jiang Ming very much, although his swordsmanship was rotten to the point, but his style of acting was far from Zhan Lushan, who was known as the righteous sect, and he was despicable and shameless, and he had a very good appetite for him.

This guy said that he was the first disciple of the third generation, but in fact, he was just a sword-casting disciple who was not in the stream, and the sword he cast was even cut through the wood, even so, when he talked to His Royal Highness Gongzi, he still boasted that he would one day be the world's first sword-casting master, and he would move the world with the name of the sword.

Xu Yuntian once asked him what the best blade he had ever seen was, but he had ever seen the "Zhanlu" divine sword inherited from the ancestors of Zhanlu Mountain.

That guy was stunned, and said Zhan Lu Divine Sword, how can I see the Zhan Lu Divine Sword enshrined in front of the Sword Ancestor Spirit Tablet. The best blade I've ever seen in my life is the Hundred Refining Cold Steel Knife worn by the Tiannan Red Armor Army.

As a swordsman who eats by forging swords, there is no one who mixes to this point.

Jiang Ming was miserable, but he knew the ins and outs of the world's divine sword and historical allusions, telling it like a story that happened in his family.

Xu Yuntian bluntly said that you might as well go to tell a story if you cast a sword, you can still have a full meal and eat two bites if you tell a story, you can even wear clothes when you cast a sword, and you can still do a ball.

Jiang Ming just shook his head, firmly saying that he couldn't do anything other than casting a sword in this life, and if he couldn't cast a good sword to move the world, he would not have the face to return to his hometown to marry his beloved girl.

After many more attempts to hit the mountain gate of the Xishu Sword Sect to no avail, this guy went down the mountain in a gray manner, and before leaving, he did not forget to borrow a few copper coins from His Royal Highness Gongzi to buy good clothes.

I don't know if a year has passed, and this guy who said that he wants to be the number one swordsmith in the world has gained a firm foothold in Zhanlu Mountain.

The maid Xiangzhang called many times, and finally brought Xu Yuntian back to his senses, and after repeating the question just now, Xu Yuntian said softly: "Go to Zhanlu Mountain." ”

Hundreds of miles of uninhabited land have finally passed, and after walking out of this dense forest, I finally saw people. - An inn with a banner that reads "All Guests".

The old lame man had already run out of wine on his body along the way, and suddenly saw an inn and couldn't help but exclaim: "Childe!

Xu Yuntian, who was happy in his heart, was also happy, all the way to eat the dried meat, and a bird was about to fade out, although he could catch a bird and catch a rabbit in his spare time to improve the food, but several people would not know half of their cooking skills, and after eating the half-baked hare roasted by Yan Cripple, they swore never to eat that thing again.

Knowing that Lao Yantou was addicted to alcohol and couldn't bear it, Xu Yuntian immediately smiled and said, "It's enough today!"

The proprietress of the hotel is a young woman with a bewitching figure, and her face is exquisite, and there is only one young shopkeeper in the hotel in addition to the proprietress, which is too deserted. After some inquiry, I learned that the hotel owner was arrested by the thieves who wandered here a few years ago, and the second child was a beggar who was taken in, and his mind was a little confused, so he could only do some simple work.

Xu Yuntian looked at Xiao Er, and really saw that Xiao Er's eyes were a little crooked, and he was a fool.

After the proprietress sent a few jars of good wine to the table, Yan Cripple couldn't wait to pick up the wine bowl and drink it, take a clean sip, and finally did not forget to smash the wine bowl on the table and drink good wine.

He turned back to the group and talked endlessly about where the wine was delicious in Zhongzhou and where the meat was delicious.

Yan Cripple is a native of Zhongzhou, but he has been in Nanzhou with Xu Yanshan for 20 years, and he will inevitably be a little excited when he returns to Zhongzhou.

The proprietress of the hotel is a charming character, maybe she saw that Xu Yuntian was the only young man among the few people, so she couldn't help but throw a few more winks, leaned over and said: "Listen to a few accents, it should be a Tiannan person on the Divine Cliff?"

Xu Yuntian saw the plump proprietress leaning on the table, the fat on her chest trembling so much, she couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and provoked An Guqing on the side to stomp on him under the table.

His Royal Highness Gongzi, who was in pain under his feet, took a breath of cold air, and secretly said how he forgot that there was such a man-eating tigress next to him, and replied: "Naturally, he is from Tiannan, and he came to Zhongzhou to go to Xuanwu City to seek refuge with his relatives." ”

The proprietress heard that she was from Tiannan, and immediately became very enthusiastic, and said with an authentic Tiannan accent: "Speaking of which, the slave family is also from Tiannan, but they married in this Central Continent many years ago and took root here." ”

"Counting the number of seventeen or eighteen years. ”

raised his wine glass and toasted to Xu Yuntian and the others, serving hospitality and hospitality, but the flattering eyes always glanced at Xu Yuntian's face, which made His Royal Highness Gongzi feel an itch on his body.

If you want to say that he has seen a lot of tormenting goblins, those fat, thin, delicate and cute girls in the drunken red mansion have not only made many gestures in front of him in order to climb into the bed of His Royal Highness Gongzi.

But it must always be said that he is more or less afraid of his position of power and does not dare to be too presumptuous and profligate.

And this boss lady is different, what Xu Yuntian sees in his eyes is an undisguised wolf-like desire, as if he wants to swallow him alive.

He had seen this kind of look, and it was only the ten evil flower thieves who were sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn in the prison of Nanyang City.

Xu Yuntian was just about to return the salute, but the cripple man next to him snatched Xu Yuntian's wine, swallowed it in one gulp, and said in a weird voice of yin and yang: "The boss lady looks very beautiful, but this heart is not good, I am dizzy after you drink this wine, isn't it ecstasy?"

The hotel proprietress changed her face and said coldly: "It seems that she is still an expert, since she has to use a strong one, it is a big deal to clean the hotel again." ”

Clapping his hands again, a group of five big and three rough men came out of the back kitchen, all carrying knives to kill pigs and cows, and surrounded the group.

Until now, Xu Yuntian didn't understand that the inn where he was surrounded by customers was actually a black shop.

After saying that, the cripple man on the side fell directly to the ground and snored.

The plump hotel proprietress glanced at Yan Cripple, who was lying on the ground and was asleep, and said: "This lame man has a bit of skills, and after eating such a large dose of "Lost Immortal" powder, he can persist until now, or not, I will cook you for a while later, and it will be delicious when I am old." ”

looked at Xu Yuntian and his party again, and said: "How many days has it not opened, this opening is a big business, look at the beautiful faces of these three little girls, it is worth at least one or two hundred taels of silver when sold to the Qinglou, as for this young man, stay and wait for the old lady to play enough and then sell it to the mercy hall as a cowherd, and the two useless old guys will have the right to be rations." ”

The camphor on the side was already frightened, and his whole body was trembling.

Xu Yuntian is not afraid, except for Xiangzhang, several people have the ability to kill people with knives, not to mention a few thieves, even in the face of a group of well-known heroes in the rivers and lakes, they also have the power to fight, of course, the lame man who fainted on the ground does not count.

immediately smiled, and quipped to An Guqing on the side: "Listen, eldest lady, this beautiful sister said that you are worth one or two hundred taels of silver, and she will sell you to the Qinglou." ”

Miss An snorted angrily and said, "So what, this broken shoe also said that you will sell you to the mercy hall if you have had enough, it seems that you are more miserable in comparison." ”

The hotel proprietress looked at the two people who didn't take herself seriously at all, and there was already a nameless fire in her heart, and sneered: "It's all dying, and there is still time to flirt here." ”

He waved his hand to the subordinate behind him who was wielding a pig-killing knife and said, "Do things lightly, but don't hurt these valuable faces." ”

Strong men flocked to the top.

The first person to bear the brunt reached out to grab the "full moon" placed on the table by An Guqing, and as soon as Miss An grabbed the scabbard, she grabbed a sword flower and shouted: "Get out." ”

Then a scabbard slammed into the man's chest, knocking it flying, smashing tables, chairs and benches. Immediately, it was visible that a piece of this man's chest was dented, and he didn't know that dozens or hundreds of ribs were broken.

An Gu Qing is one of the few masters of the One Realm among the young talents, and it is extremely easy to deal with these guys who have brute strength.

Then the scabbard was left and right, and the strong men around him were pointed one by one, and suddenly the entire inn hall was full of broken tables, chairs, benches, and people lying on the ground moaning.

How did the hotel proprietress not know that she was afraid that she had kicked the iron plate, Mo said that the boy and the white-haired old man who had not yet made a move, but the girl who shot didn't even pull out the sword, and immediately fell to her knees with a thud.

Crying and chirping: "Everyone, spare your lives, the little woman has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai and collided with you, and please let the slave family die." ”

The villain who was still trying to eat people at every turn just now knelt on the ground and begged for mercy in a blink of an eye, and the rapid change of role made Xu Yuntian stunned for a while, and said: "There are many shameless people, I am still the first time I have seen a young master like you." ”

He also said, "Let me ask you, did you ever beg for mercy when you killed and sold those merchants, and when they begged for mercy, did you ever relent, and let others live?"

The proprietress of the black shop suddenly complained again, and said: "The slave family is also forced to make this livelihood, the husband of the family died early, and there are more than a dozen people who need to be fed, so it is really helpless to do this business of falling into the grass." ”

Xu Yuntian turned his head to look at the group of strong men lying on the ground screaming bitterly, and pointed: "The dozen or so people you are talking about are them? When you killed others, did you ever think that there were people in their family waiting for them to go back?"

But the woman choked for a while, and could not say a word.

Xu Yuntian just waved his hand and said, "Let's all die." ”
