Chapter 103: Encounter
The moon is full in the sky, and the road is sparsely crowded.
The two big red lanterns on the gate tower of Qingyang Mansion were still hanging high, emitting light, like a pair of vigilant eyes, coldly looking at the bandits who tried to violate her.
When he left Qingyang Mansion, Bai Cheng didn't expect to come back again, it was more than a year later, looking at the familiar city gate tower from a distance, he almost shed tears of excitement.
Bai Cheng ran all the way from the main road, and went straight to the city gate without stopping for half a step. In the past, with his prudence, he would have gone around to a place where no one was around, and then climbed over the wall to enter. It's just that now, he didn't bother to make a detour, and saw that the city gate tower was in front of him, with a little tiptoe and a force under his foot, like a fast arrow from the string, and jumped straight from the highest point of the city gate tower!
The sergeants who were dozing in the city gate tower were all awakened by the sound of the wind blowing by Baicheng, but when they rushed out, Baicheng was already nowhere to be found.
In the past three days, Bai Cheng Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and rushed to Qingyang Mansion without stopping, the reason why he was so desperate was that less than half of it was to rush back to the Flying Star Gate as soon as possible to investigate Bai Tiehan's death, and most of it was to familiarize himself with the sword qi that Fang Yin left him.
Last year on the Jinsha River, Baicheng was hit hard by the water dragon summoned by Jin Jiaqi, not only the physical vitality was almost cut off, but the mental injury was even more serious, more than a year, with the help of the ink rain pool, although the physical injury has been almost recovered, but the trauma of the mind can not be recovered, in terms of the power of the mind alone, it is even inferior to an ordinary person who has not practiced martial arts.
Whether it is the Daomen or the martial arts, they all pay attention to the matching of the power of the mind and the cultivation of the body. Now Bai Cheng's mental strength is too weak, and it is extremely incompatible with his physical body, before leaving Taicang Mountain, he can't mobilize the qi and blood around him no matter what, and his martial arts naturally can't be used.
Until the time he left the mountain, Fang Yin lent Bai Cheng a sword qi, this sword qi was extremely wonderful, after entering Bai Cheng's body, it could not only flow along the twelve canons and the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, but also urge Bai Cheng's qi and blood to flow with the sword qi.
With the help of this sword qi, Bai Chengfang was able to display all his kung fu, and with the blessing of the sword qi, the power was even stronger than in the past.
The fly in the ointment is that this sword qi is a sourceless water, a tree without roots, it is difficult to last, and it will disappear sooner or later. In addition, because this sword qi was not cultivated by Bai Cheng himself after all, the sword qi was too sharp, and after a long time, I was afraid that it would cause a lot of damage to the physical body.
The pros and cons of this sword qi, Bai Cheng has been familiar with it in the past three days, and he has already understood very well, although he has the feeling of quenching his thirst by drinking, but in order to investigate the cause of Bai Tiehan's death, he has to grit his teeth and insist.
Entering Qingyangfu City, there were many residents in the city, and it was inconvenient for Baicheng to perform light skills, so he walked slowly, planning to find an inn to rest first.
was strolling on the long street, suddenly a burst of aroma came to his nose, Bai Cheng turned his head to look, only to see an oil lamp lit not far away, a white-haired old man was boiling water around the stove, a few tables were set on the side, more than a dozen low stools, scattered five or six people, it turned out to be a night snack stall.
Don't look at it, just look at it, Bai Cheng's stomach suddenly cracked with bones, he went out early this morning, and he didn't feel it when he ran on the road, but when he stopped, he felt hungry in his stomach.
Bai Cheng came to the supper stall and asked, "Old man, what else do you have to eat?"
The old man hurriedly said: "There are wontons, buns, and rice noodles." ”
Bai Cheng took out a silver ingot, slapped it on the table, and said: "A bowl of rice noodles, two steamed buns, more chili peppers and peanuts in the rice noodles, and more vinegar in the dipping sauce of the buns." ”
When the old man saw the silver, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly agreed, and replied in a loud voice, "Okay!"
Bai Cheng turned around and found a clean table, sat down alone, and was about to moisten his throat when he carried the pot, but a blue-clothed guest with a hat next to him suddenly stood up, walked to the table where Bai Cheng was, and sat down unceremoniously.
After this person sat down, he arched his hand at Bai Cheng and said with a smile: "Qingyue Dao is long, and it has been hard all the way. ”
Bai Cheng couldn't help but be startled, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know who the brother is?"
This person laughed, took off the hat on his head, put it aside, and said with a smile: "Qingyue Dao Chief, I haven't seen you for many days, but do you still remember my little brother?"
Bai Cheng's eyes swept across this person's face like lightning, and he couldn't help laughing angrily, and said, "Who should I be, it turned out to be Lin Daoyou!"
Although Bai Cheng and him had only met twice, they were very impressed by him, because it was this person who designed to force Bai Cheng out of Qingyang Mansion and block the Jinsha River, and was finally injured by the water dragon. Since he came out of the mountain, Bai Cheng has also planted a heel in him!
Bai Cheng looked at him, his eyes became cold, and said: "I didn't expect that more than a year has passed, Lin Daoyou is still waiting here, this courtesy makes the little brother extremely frightened, I really don't know how to repay it!"
Lin Su didn't seem to understand the hatred in Bai Cheng's words, shook his head and smiled: "The old dragon was released that day, and the Dao Elder was seriously injured, it's all my Senior Brother Jin, it's not right for me to wait here, brother, I should wait here, what kind of repayment." ”
Speaking of this, Lin Su also paused, and then said: "That day, the Daoist was beaten away by the old dragon, and our senior brothers looked for the Daoist along the river for three months, but found nothing. Everyone said that the chief was probably dead, and insisted on returning to the road to restore his life. Only the younger brother relied on the bit of qi on the life-seeking plate to say that the chief must still be alive, but they refused to believe it. As a last resort, brother, I had to take leave with Senior Brother Jin, and stay here for the time being to wait for the Taoist to return, I don't want to wait for more than a year, and I am going to despair, but fortunately, the Taoist is still returning safely, but it is not in vain for my brother to wait!"
After Bai Cheng heard what he said, he laughed angrily and said: "Lin Daoyou is not shy about it, and he clearly said that you are the only one left here, aren't you afraid that the junior brother will do it with you?"
Lin Su also laughed and said: "Dao Chang, don't lie to me, according to the life-seeking chart, this year, Dao Chang's qi machine has been weak, I am afraid that the injury is not light, and it was not until three days ago that the qi machine gradually recovered, but I am afraid that it is not a brother's opponent." ”
Speaking of this, the old man who set up the stall brought up the steamed rice noodles, put them on the table, and turned to leave.
Lin Su also grabbed the old man and said, "The old gentleman added a pair of chopsticks, a plate of braised pork, a bowl of fried fish, a plate of fried tofu skin, and four braised eggs, all of which are counted in my account." ”
After that, Lin Su also turned his head and said, "Let's go back to Wudou Rice Road, the road is far away, let go of the brothers and eat more." ”
A few dishes were served, Bai Cheng sneered, and without speaking, he munched on it like a whirlwind.
Lin Su also grinned, and he was not polite to mention the chopsticks.
Bai Cheng couldn't have imagined that as soon as he entered Qingyang Mansion, he would meet the disciple of Wudou Midao, and which one of them had the deepest festival with him, so he couldn't help but curse a sentence that the road was narrow, but he was in a hurry to return to Feixingmen at this time, and he had no intention of entanglement with the people in Wudou Midao, so he planned to find an opportunity to get rid of this person.
Thinking of this, Bai Cheng pushed the big bowl in front of him, patted his stomach, and felt that his stomach was full, so he stood up and turned to leave.
Lin Su hadn't finished eating yet, and when he saw Bai Cheng leaving, he wasn't in a hurry, he pulled a few chopsticks unhurriedly, swallowed the last few pieces of braised pork, stuffed two braised eggs in his mouth, and then reached out and took out a silver ingot, threw it to the white-haired old man, and chased after Bai Cheng.
Bai Cheng heard the wind behind him, knew that it was Lin Su who chased after him, his figure shook, turned around and entered an alley, and then he got up, put it on the wall, turned over and jumped into a house, took advantage of the hazy night, took a suit of clothes at the master's house and changed it, put down a piece of silver, and changed his face in the "Thirteen Styles of Breaking Jade", before he swaggered and came out of the wall.
Leaving the house, Bai Cheng walked forward for a while, and saw an inn opposite, still lit with lanterns, and before it closed, he was ready to knock on the door and stay at the hotel.
At this moment, someone behind him suddenly shouted loudly: "Qingyue Dao is long and slow to move, brother, I have already opened the room, just wait for the Dao Master to drive." ”
