Chapter 9: A Guide to the Immortal Path
"Damn!" Hua Luo scolded, there was no power at this critical time.
The pain in his body has eased, at least he can move freely, he looked at the sky outside, it was almost evening, and he didn't think about anything else, Hua Luo wanted to find Master Lin, at least he had to cash out the 1,500 taels of silver.
went out and pulled a family member casually, asked the direction, and after a while, he entered Master Lin's private garden, and before he got close, some noisy conversations attracted Hua Luo's attention.
"How's it going, did you find it?"
"No, I met the eldest lady just now, and the little one didn't dare to approach. ”
"Useless things, that old guy is already suspicious of us, be careful in the future. ”
......
Lin Jiayi was a little hungry, so she came out to look for food, she found that some domestic servants met her, and hid away when they said hello, is she so terrible.
When she walked to a place, she saw someone in the corner of the wall, and when she got closer, it turned out to be Hua Luo, and then she listened carefully, and she also heard some strange conversations.
In a fit of anger, he wanted to go in and ask to understand, how could Hua Luo let her startle the snake and grab her slender hand.
"What are you doing!" Lin Jiayi shook him off.
When the people inside heard the movement, they fell silent in an instant, and the sound of light footsteps drifted away, obviously realizing that the wall had ears, and hurriedly left.
"I didn't want you to startle the snake. Hua Luo spread his hands, "Now it's okay, the snake has run away." ”
"Then I'll chase them back and ask them to understand. ”
Hua Luo sneered when he heard this: "How do you know that they are not grass, now the entire Lin family is under martial law, if you move these two minions, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will poison your sister again." ”
He classified the black gas as an unidentified poison, and he had to wait for his own rescue to come before finding a solution.
seems to think that what Hua Luo said is reasonable, and Lin Jiayi is no longer impulsive. It's just that the two of them are standing here, which only adds to the embarrassment.
"What are you doing here!" ×2
The two asked the same question.
"Gollum~"
"I'm a little hungry!" Lin Jiayi's stomach made an untimely sound, "I didn't find anything to eat in the kitchen, so I walked around." ”
"I also wander around. "Hua Luo didn't dare to tell her, I asked your father for money, this girl, moody, her injuries haven't healed yet, and she doesn't dare to provoke her, just this toss, I didn't eat much at noon, Hua Luo also wanted to eat something, "Then let's have a meal together?"
"Who's going to eat with you!"
"You're mistaken. Hua Luo figured her out a little and said in a different way, "I mean let's go to the kitchen to eat." ”
Sure enough, this trick worked very well for her, "Okay!"
There is only one word, but Hua Luo faintly feels that she doesn't seem to be so annoying, except for being hot!
There is really no ready-made kitchen anymore, there is no refrigerator here, the ingredients need to be fresh, only some eggs and bacon hanging on the wall, no way, cook by yourself, make a bowl of bacon and egg fried rice.
There are a lot of seasonings on the cooking table, but unfortunately Hua Luo doesn't know much about it, so he can only slowly ponder or taste it one by one, and then distinguish it. Thanks to his perennial travel, he has developed a life skill, otherwise he would not want to eat a hot meal. Although interstellar travel has been developed for a long time, and human beings have widely used nutrients and ultra-compressed food, as the descendants of Yan and Huang, they have always adhered to the principle of taking food as the sky, and it is really the happiest thing to be able to eat warm meals on a tiring day.
"Good~ fragrant!" Lin Jiayi instinctively exclaimed, hurriedly closed her mouth again, and glanced at Hua Luo, she didn't expect that this unpleasant guy could have such a good craft, just a bowl of leftover rice, a few eggs and bacon, can make such a fragrant delicacy.
"Come on, try it, I haven't cooked in a few days. Hua Luo brought out a bowl of fried rice, which was taught to him by his mother when he was relatively young, but he didn't expect to use it here, Hua Luo felt a little homesick in his heart.
Lin Jiayi first tasted a bite, but in the end, she couldn't bear the deliciousness, and she didn't care about the appearance of eating, so she feasted on it, although it was just simple fried rice.
"Eat slowly, no one will rob it!" Hua Luo handed her a bowl of water, it was the first time he had seen a girl so disregard for eating, "It's not enough." ”
"You have, sometimes, not so annoying!"
This girl is starting to teach herself a lesson. Hua Luo found that his temper had changed now, and he was affected by the slow pace of the place, by the crepe style of speech here.
"Whew~ I'm full. "In a word. Lin Jiayi picked up the saber on the side, and before going out, he glanced over, "Thank you...... Rice!"
After speaking, he did not stop, and slowly disappeared into the afterglow of the sunset.
......
As soon as it was dawn, Hua Luo got up, last night he found a few clothes in the back compartment, he needs to go out today, it is best to find a high mountain, and place a distress beacon.
You need to put on makeup before you go out!
He thought about it, according to what Lin Zhen said before, he was killed when he went out, which means that there is a response inside and outside, but the way he enters the door is different from the way he looks now, and there are not many people who know him, so if he dresses up a little, it should be nothing. , but he was still a little worried, and he took the gun with him.
Quietly followed the changing of the guard to patrol to a place where no one was around, kicked the wall and turned over, without dragging mud and water at all.
Coming out of the Lin Mansion so easily, Hua Luo found a direction in his memory and slowly left the Lin family.
What he didn't know was that now in this border city, there were at least three groups of forces staring at him.
Nothing unusual happened along the way. Approaching the city gates, Hua Luo met an old acquaintance.
"Yo, isn't this the Yellow Sect Association?" Hua Luo approached the person at the city gate, this person was the Yellow Sect Association who had taken him into the city in the first place.
Huang Jiao Coordinator looked at it and saw that it was a tall man with a dirty head, wearing the clothes of the Lin family, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't know this person, so he stood up and asked, "This little brother, do we know each other?"
"Know, of course know. Hua Luo leaned close to Huang Jiaoxie's ear, "The one who stole the chickens in the village that day." ”
"Hey, hey~" When Huang Jiaoxie heard it, this is not called knowing, this is called the evil god who came to collect his life, he was demoted by this matter, and he came here to see the city gate. I couldn't help but be a little worried and scared, so I quickly pinched my face and begged,
"Doctor, no, big brother, uncle! The little one is wrong, I really know that I am wrong! What does the uncle need to do with the little one, the little one must go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up!"
"Yo-heh. Hua Luo's heart was secretly refreshed, he didn't think that Huang Jiaoxie still had this awareness. Thinking that Master Lin still had some silver confiscated and he was worthless, he said directly, "Is there a few hundred taels of silver, give me flowers." ”
Huang Jiaoxie didn't think that Hua Luo would ask for money, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a few hundred taels, and he was only a few hundred taels of money to be an official of the city association, but he was also afraid of making Hua Luo unhappy, so he touched his waist and took out ten taels of silver.
"Uncle, there are only so many small ones. ”
"How can there be ten taels of silver for this little bit of silver?" Hua Luo didn't expect him to be so obedient, and took the ten taels of silver from his trembling hand, and thought that his behavior seemed to be no different from that of a pirate, so he carefully weighed it and returned half of it.
"There are a lot of masters, and the small monthly salary is less than five taels. ”
Huang Jiaoxie didn't know what Hua Luo meant by paying him back five taels of money, so he didn't dare to take it.
Hua Luo shoved the money into his hand. I tidied up my clothes a little.
"I'll let you go today, and then I'll arrest you after asking things clearly!"
"Yes, uncle, the little one understands. Huang Jiaoxie's lowered head was about to be buried in his stomach.
"I'm going out of town. Hua Luo didn't talk nonsense with him, and walked out directly.
"Uncle, go slowly!"
......
After searching for several mountains along the way, he didn't get into the eyes of Warlock, and finally saw a higher one than before, so he officially climbed it.
When I reached the top, it was already afternoon, and the distress beacon was successfully placed, and a sky-high light rose up with the trend, but the weather was sunny today, and I couldn't see the clue from a distance.
Until the light weakened, until it was gone, Hua Luo, who had slept for a long time, woke up from hunger and heat.
"Signal sending, boot mode activated, searching. ”
Now we can only wait, it may be a day, it may be ten days and half a month. Hungry, Hua Luo recorded his approximate coordinates and information, carefully hid the beacon, and prepared to return to the city.
Back at the gate of the city, Huang Jiaoxie was no longer there, and he originally wanted him to invite him to dinner, but it seemed that he could only enjoy it alone, and I don't know if Lin Fu would look for it everywhere when he learned that he was gone.
I didn't want to do those idle things, passing by the teahouse, and hearing a lot of cheers, Hua Luo walked over.
As soon as I arrived at the door, two people who looked like men surrounded me, "Master, come to listen to the book, how many?"
"Uh, one!" "What is listening to the book, Hua Luo doesn't know, this service attitude is good.
"Okay, please go up!" One guy led Hua Luo closer to the corridor, and the other guy raised his head and shouted at length, "Lin Mansion distinguished guest, look at the seat~".
There is a long desk in the middle of the second floor of the teahouse, and the old man Yang, who had eye disease, is talking about the book next to the table, and the audience will laugh and shout lightly.
Hua Luo's appearance did not affect his storytelling in the slightest, but the people around him would glance at him consciously when they saw him wearing the clothes of the Lin family.
The guy led Hua Luo to an empty table and sat down, "What do you want to eat?"
He really didn't know what was here, and when he saw a person next to him ordering a few side dishes, Hua Luo turned to Nunu over there, "Same as him." ”
The guy reacted quickly, "A plate of fragrant braised beef, a plate of salted peanuts, half a catty of Huadiao!"
Old man Yang told the story of the fight between the two immortals, Hua Luo didn't want to listen to it, he had to think about how to get out of here.
And he didn't notice the beggar curled up in the corner staring at him.
The dish was served quickly, and Hua Luo, who was already very hungry, picked up his chopsticks and prepared to enter the "battlefield".
At this moment, the beggar who was huddled in the corner suddenly staggered over, sat next to Hua Luo, grabbed the beef in his hand and ate it directly.
"Eh~eh~eh!" the guy grabbed the beggar's hair, "How did you guys get up, is this the place where you can come." ”
The beggar didn't hear it at all, and continued to nibble on the piece of meat in his hand.
The man's voice affected Old Man Yang, and everyone looked at the table.
"Alright, alright. Hua Luo waved his hand, not wanting the guy to make a big deal out of it, "Let him be here, I'll pay for the meal." ”
Then he turned to the others, embarrassed but polite to give the crowd a smile.
Although the crowd was displeased, they did not say anything. Old man Lin coughed and continued.
After the man was gone, Hua Luo looked at the dirty beggar, who had no appetite at all, and drank only the Huadiao wine.
When the beggar saw that he did not eat, he was not polite, and after a while he ate the meat cleanly, burped a few times, and patted his stomach with unfinished satisfaction.
The two were speechless, and the beggar took something out of his arms.
Hua Luo was speechless for a moment, pointing to the object, looking at the beggar and then at the table.
"How do you have this?!" What is this, Hua Luo knows very well, the battery used in the healing device.
The beggar didn't say a word, and pushed it directly to him, meaning that it was given to Hua Luo.
"Give it to me? Hua Luo secretly hid in the crack of his underwear, but he still felt unbelievable, and asked, "Where did you get it?
Thinking of the possibility of news of his two crew members, Warlot had to ask clearly.
The beggar picked his teeth and suddenly said, "You can't go back." ”
"What did you say?" the beggar spoke inexplicably, and Hua Luo didn't know what he meant by not being able to go back.
The beggar ignored it, but continued to take out an object, a book, from his bosom.
Paper books?Hua Luo was surprised, this kind of thing that only the Earth Federation Museum collected, how could he be a beggar.
Turning the book, the first page was impressively printed with four big characters -
Guide to Immortals
Chinese characters!
Hua Luo wanted to pick up the book, but the beggar first took it into his arms and opened one hand, "Five taels!"
"If you want this book, I'll have to give you five taels of silver?" Hua Luo tried to ask, all this was a little too strange.
The beggar nodded.
Impossible, buy a book for five taels of silver? If he took the Huang Jiaoxie, he might consider it.
Seeing that he did not want it, the beggar stretched out his hand again. This and the meaning of Hua Luo is clear, is to ask him to return the battery.
I've invited him to dinner, and I'm going to give him money to buy a broken book? No way! Thinking about it, Hua Luo got up and wanted to leave. The beggar grabbed him, don't look at the beggar who is thin and pitiful, but Hua Luo can't shake it off.
"Hey, what do you want to do!"
The beggar was a little impatient, and took out the book again: "Five taels of silver!"
"Okay! obey!" Hua Luo was so angry that he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, this is a business, this is a compulsion. Afraid of attracting the attention of the people around him, Hua Luo still agreed.
He took out the only five taels of silver from his body, and before he could cover the heat, the beggar snatched it away. Throw him the book you just had.
"Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and you can go. The beggar handed over the book, took the Huadiao wine, and drank most of it in one gulp, "Fake!"
Occupy a seat, forcibly sell books, and want me to leave, is this a thing?
Seeing that Hua Luo was not leaving, the beggar held the wine in one hand and pointed to the book in Hua Luo's hand with the other, and whispered, "The first school in the world, hide it." ”
If you are the first student in the world, the first is worth five taels of silver?
"Can you tell me where this thing came from?" Hua Luo needed batteries, but he needed to know where he got them and if he had found something else.
But the beggar didn't tell him. Just shaking the glass.
But at least, after getting the battery, this beggar didn't speak, his face was full of dirt and he couldn't see his true face, and he didn't suffer too much.
As soon as he said go, Hua Luo came to the staircase, and the guy was waiting to settle the bill,
"He pays!" Hua Luo pointed to the beggar, the money was all given to him, and he had no money to spare.
The guy was about to say that Hua Luo was using the name of the Lin Mansion to eat and drink, and the beggar directly took out five taels of silver, "Another plate of beef!"
......
went downstairs, found the direction of the Lin Mansion, and was about to leave, when a light voice stopped him.
"Childe, please stay!" Hua Luo turned his head to look, and two ladies stopped him not far behind him, one of whom was wrapped in a white dress and covered with a scarf, covering his face. The other was plain-looking, wearing a pale yellow dress. In general, it is less than one thousandth of the two sisters of the Lin family.
"Call me?" Hua Luo looked around, as if he was the only one in front of them.
The two women walked slowly into Hualuo, and the veiled woman was going to look more elegant. A few closed their eyes, already facing Hua Luo, and the veiled woman bowed slightly, which was counted as a salute.
"Can Childe lend me the books in his hand? ”
The voice is elegant and quite polite.
Hua Luo frowned because of this, he had just come down from the teahouse, he was stopped by someone, and he had to read the book in his hand, which was too strange, but don't be an immortal.
As if she knew that Hua Luo had some misunderstanding, the white-clothed woman said again: "Don't misunderstand, it's just a look, and you will return it immediately." ”
"Okay!" After thinking about it, Hua Luo took out the book he had just gotten, and the woman reached out to get it, but before she could touch it, Hua Luo instantly took it back
"I've seen it!" Warlock clapped his hands.
The woman in white didn't expect Hua Luo to make such a cheap move, and her hands still maintained the posture of taking objects, but her eyes were already slightly exposed.
Seeing this, the woman in the yellow dress beside her moved slightly, and her sleeve robe rose without wind, Hua Luo only felt a flicker, and a jade hand took out the book from his arms.
"You!" Hua Luo suddenly felt incredible, what kind of kung fu was this, and he searched for things silently.
The woman in the yellow dress shook the book in her hand and handed it directly to the woman in white.
"You don't have to panic. The woman in white chuckled lightly and comforted Hua Luo, "We don't intend to rob you of things, we're just curious, my junior sister is young and ignorant, so don't blame the son." ”
"It's in your hands, you decide!"
Hua Luo thought to himself, don't blame me, do I dare to blame, I can't feel it in my arms, and my kung fu is definitely better than Lin Jiayi.
Sure enough, as the woman in white said, she just flipped through a few pages and returned Hua Luo, "Thank you, son, meet again!"
......
Looking at the two girls walking away slowly, Hua Luo is second monk was puzzled, and it was very strange that two things happened today, and he didn't know how he got involved with them.
"It's useless to think about it, go back and ask for money!" Hua Luo roughly summed it up, and found that all he could control was to ask Old Man Lin for the 1,500 taels of silver.
As soon as I walked a distance, I saw two people. Lin Jiayi and her sister Lin Jiayue.
Lin Jiayi changed into a plain skirt, her hair reached her waist, less arrogant and willful, and more demure and gentle.
And her sister Lin Jiayue, her own smart temperament, coupled with her slowly recovering body, is becoming more and more energetic day by day, but at this time she is wearing the clothes of a maid and follows her sister closely.
sneaked out, Hua Luo thought so, and Lin Jiayue also saw him.
"Sister, guess who I saw. ”
"Uncle Zhen said that Hua Xiaoluo is gone, as long as you don't let me see him! ”
They did run out secretly, Lin Jiayue was bored, but now it was an extraordinary period, so she could only disguise herself and let her sister with strong martial arts take her out to breathe.
It's just that neither side expected that the border city was too small.
Hua Luo thought that he had come to him on purpose, so he turned around and left, but he caused the injuries on his body and walked as funny as a penguin.
The more panicked she is, the more she can attract the attention of others, and now Lin Jiayi also saw Hua Luo wearing a family costume.
"Hua Xiaoluo!"
Warlot walked faster.
"What are you running, am I a jackal, a tiger or a leopard, or a ghost?"
If Hua Luo hears it, he may say, "You are even more dangerous than them!"
