Chapter 54: Old Man

An old man in a gray robe stood awe-inspiring at the door, playing with two iron lotus seeds in his left hand, and his long gray beard in his right hand.

Others didn't know him, but Li Yuanchen recognized it immediately, stood up, hugged each other and said, "Yu senior, you are good lately." ”

The old man at the door smiled and said, "Okay, I won't worry about you." This old man is the "Iron Lotus of Life" Yu Wanchun.

Yu Wanchun still squinted his eyes, disdainful of Li Yuanchen's greetings. Li Yuanchen touched his nose and couldn't get off the stage in front of Shangguan Linglong, which made him embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Li Yuanchen said again: "Senior Yu, why do you have time to come to this town?" Yu Wanchun slowly opened his eyes, and under those slack eyelids was a pair of eyes that were sharper than vultures, and he often squinted half-squinting, just to collect the edge. Yu Wanchun said: "I said that you don't have to worry about it, whether I come or not has nothing to do with you." ”

Li Yuanchen was so angry that he wanted to slap himself in the mouth, he really had nothing to do to ask for trouble, but Yu Wanchun was also a senior in the rivers and lakes, he was not as good as him in terms of seniority, and he was also a lot inferior in martial arts, so he had to eat Coptis dumb and sat down in a muffled voice.

Sun Qiao'er watched Li Yuanchen be angry with this old man, and she couldn't stand it, so she was about to scold this old man, but her aunt Shangguan Linglong held down her arm.

Qi Ying'er only looked at the old man, more than five feet tall, old-fashioned, nothing unusual, but he kept playing with something with his left hand, and Qi Ying'er didn't see it clearly.

No one spoke for a long time, and the uninteresting Xiao Er ran to entertain Yu Wanchun but was also scolded back, Yu Wanchun saw who scolded whom, for no reason. As a result, several tables of customers in the store hurriedly put down their chopsticks and hurriedly checked out before they finished eating, and rushed out of the door.

Yu Wanchun stood at the door and continued to play with the lotus seeds in his hand, and after a while, he sang a little song leisurely, and there was only Qi Ying'er and their table of guests left in the store. The innkeeper and Xiao Er were so anxious to wipe their tears, they did their business, they all relied on a face to entertain guests, and now there is Yu Wanchun. You can't coax this old man, you can't mess with him, and the innkeeper has become a dumb person who eats coptis. It is estimated that anyone in the world who meets Yu Wanchun will have to eat the lotus seeds he gave you, if you don't eat it, you can't eat it, if you don't eat it, you will have to eat the iron lotus seeds in his hand, which is much more bitter than Coptis chinensis.

Sun Qiao'er couldn't help it, and opened her mouth and shouted: "You old man, you singing is really ugly! Look, look! The whole store has been sung away by you!"

Yu Wanchun not only didn't return the favor when he heard it, but sang this little song louder and louder, more and more out of tune.

Sun Qiao'er covered her ears, stomped her feet angrily, and scolded while stomping: "Dead old man!

Li Yuanchen also sighed helplessly, and was trying to guess what the old man Yu wanted to do? Could it be that he was also doing it for the sake of the Ten Thousand Army Gang? Then why didn't he do it, what were he waiting for?

Li Yuanchen slapped the table and was about to whisper her guess, but when she saw the leisurely smile on Shangguan Linglong's face, she actually closed her eyes as if she was enjoying Yu Wanchun's singing.

What the hell is going on? No one understands what these two men are doing, one sings and the other listens, the other sings freely, and the other listens freely. Sun Qiao'er was only scolding, while Qi Ying'er was carefully observing the two people.

Sun Qiao'er covered her ears to no avail, the old man's singing voice seemed to be able to penetrate a stone wall hundreds of feet thick. Sun Qiao'er smiled secretly, slipped out of her sleeve and held two golden needles in her palm, and when Yu Wanchun sang to the highest pitch, as soon as she raised her hand, "Huh", the two golden needles flew out of her hands and rushed straight to Yu Wanchun.

Sun Qiao'er thought that she was bound to succeed in this move, but who knew that Yu Wanchun's sleeves waved, and the two golden needles were lying in his somewhat reddened palms. Looking at it again, Yu Wanchun didn't even open his eyes.

Li Yuanchen was frightened, thinking to himself why he didn't stop her, things must be getting worse and worse now, in fact, he didn't expect Sun Qiao'er to make this move, even if he thought of it, in just that short moment, Shangguan Linglong sitting next to her couldn't stop her, how could he stop her?

Sun Qiao'er was taken aback, but she also seemed to know that she wouldn't be able to do it easily, so she snorted and sat down. Fortunately, Yu Wanchun's piercing little song finally stopped.

I only heard that Yu Wanchun said: "Hmph, carving insect skills." It's almost as good as sewing my pants!"

Why is this so familiar? Sun Qiao'er muttered, "Do these old men like others to sew clothes for them now?"

Qi Ying'er's right hand slid towards the sword at her waist and grasped the hilt.

Yu Wanchun slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly shouted, "Give it back to you!"

The two golden needles in Yu Wanchun's hand had disappeared, and he didn't even see a shadow, only heard the sound of "ding" twice, and the two golden needles fell at Sun Qiaoer's feet, Sun Qiaoer was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. She breathed heavily, to make sure she was alive. She moved slightly, and suddenly a cold iron pressed against her face, which frightened her head.

It was none other than Qi Ying'er who was sitting opposite her who saved her. Holding the pale hilt of the sword, the blade of the sword was between the ears of Shangguan Linglong and Sun Qiao'er. Qi Ying'er looked at Yu Wanchun with firm and calm eyes.

Yu Wanchun laughed and said, "Good boy, good boy." ”

Qi Ying'er withdrew her gaze, and unexpectedly saw Shangguan Linglong smiling at herself, an indescribable smile.

Qi Ying'er stood up, detoured behind Shangguan and Sun Qiao'er, and said to Yu Wanchun: "Why do you want to kill her?"

Yu Wanchun stroked his beard with his right hand and played with the iron lotus seeds with his left hand, and Qi Ying'er saw the two iron lotus seeds clearly at this time. Yu Wanchun said slowly: "You can see clearly, she wants to kill me." ”

Qi Ying'er said: "But she didn't kill you." ”

Yu Wanchun laughed and said, "And I didn't kill her." ”

Qi Ying'er looked at Yu Wanchun, stared at his half-squinted eyes, and said in a deep voice, "What are you here for?"

Yu Wanchun sneered: "Nameless junior, you don't need to worry about it. ”

Qi Ying'er said: "I have to worry about it. ”

Yu Wanchun said: "Oh?

Qi Ying'er said: "Because you are going to kill my beloved woman." ”

Sun Qiao'er, who had just been stunned, was woken up by these words, stood up and turned to look at Qi Ying'er, and suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and she burst into tears. She regretted why she sent out those two golden needles, and regretted that she had brought Qi Ying'er, the person who loved her, into danger.

Li Yuanchen was also anxious for Qi Ying'er, but saw Shangguan Linglong sitting calmly, she didn't say anything from the beginning, and she didn't turn around to take a look.

But seeing Yu Wanchun blowing his beard and saying: "At a young age, it's a pity, you have entered the woman's magic path, I will help you get free!" Before the words fell, he flicked the thumb of his left hand, and the two lotus seeds flew straight towards Qi Ying'er's door one after the other, whirring.

Qi Ying'er's eyes were quick, and she was about to block a lotus seed when she crossed the sword side. Who knew that the two lotus seeds had changed, the first lotus seed arrived, and the latter lotus seed actually overtook the first lotus seed. Seeing this situation, Qi Ying'er couldn't think about it, so she changed her posture to deal with it at the moment. As soon as he changed his position, the lotus seed hit Qi Ying'er's sword with a "bell", and the sword body trembled for a long time. Qi Ying'er was also knocked back a few steps by this force, if it weren't for Shangguan Linglong's slender hand behind his waist to support him, I'm afraid he would have to cross the table before he could stop.

Qi Ying'er stabilized her body and secretly wondered - I didn't expect this old man's lotus seeds to be so powerful, and the shock made my arms numb. Qi Ying'er turned her wrist and pulled her arm.

Yu Wanchun said with a smile: "I was still a gentleman when you were a man, but I didn't expect to have a woman to help." Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

Sun Qiao'er leaned over and asked Qi Ying'er, "Are you okay?" Qi Ying'er waved her hand slightly and said, "It's okay." ”

Li Yuanchen felt that he really couldn't continue to pretend to be dumb, so he slapped the table and shouted, "Yu Wanchun, what do you want to do?"

Yu Wanchun snorted: "Drink! It's not big or small, just now you were calling me an old-timer, and now you turn your face and call me by my name." It's time to fight!" After that, Yu Wanchun flicked his thumb, and two iron lotus seeds flew out, not at Li Yuanchen, but directly at Shangguan Linglong, who was facing him with his back. "Yo, the hand slipped, the hand slipped. Yu Wanchun said.

Shangguan Linglong didn't turn around, the lotus seed came quickly, and when she turned around, she would be hit, and she twisted the two fingers of her left hand, stretched out from the armpit of her right arm, and flew out two silver needles. is impartial, just hit on the two lotus seeds of Wanchun. The lotus seed and the silver needle sparked sparks, and both fell to the ground.

Yu Wanchun clapped his hands and said: "Good hearing, good hands! The silver needle used by the girl is much stronger than the one used by the female doll!"

Sun Qiao'er bit her lip and stomped her foot, but she didn't dare to scold Wan Chun again.

Shangguan Linglong slowly stood up and turned around leisurely, her coquettish posture could make men all over the world salivate. Yu Wanchun is also a man, and he was naturally dumbfounded when he saw such a stunning appearance, and he actually ate and laughed.

When Sun Qiao'er saw it, she scolded secretly: "Phew, it's really shameless!"

Shangguan Linglong said slowly: "Yu Daxia, do you recognize me?"

Yu Wanchun thought about it and said, "Have the two of us met before?"

Shangguan Linglong said with a smile: "Why don't you see it, the friendship between the two of us is quite deep, why did you forget it?"

Yu Wanchun said: "Oh, but the old man has never had a deep friendship with a woman in his life, let alone a girl, you are a woman like a fairy in the sky, and the old man has only seen this time in his life." When Sun Qiao'er heard the old man's words, she couldn't help but feel sick to her stomach, and Li Yuanchen also secretly felt a sense of jealousy when she heard it.

Shangguan Linglong said: "That Yu Daxia is really a noble person who has forgotten things, and he has praised others to the sky, and the slave family is embarrassed." But you really don't remember me, you haven't seen me before, but our relationship is deep enough. ”

Shangguan Linglong said this, not only Yu Wanchun, Qi Ying'er and others were puzzled at the moment, but even the shopkeepers who hid to the side were curious about what kind of relationship could exist between such a beautiful woman and this weird old man?

Shangguan Linglong slowly sat down and said, "Yu Daxia, do you still remember your beloved apprentice, Xu Lang?"

When Yu Wanchun heard this, his half-squinted eyes widened, and he said, "Xu Lang, you, how do you know? He, he ......?"

Shangguan Linglong smiled, this smile was very mysterious and dangerous, and said, "How is he lately?"

Yu Wanchun was like five thunderbolts at this time, and he was stunned on the spot. He saw his lotus seeds on the ground, saw the two silver needles lying next to the lotus seeds, and suddenly shouted at Shangguan Linglong: "It's you! Who are you, why, why ......" His words choked in his throat, "Why did you kill him?"

Everyone was shocked, Sun Qiao'er looked at her aunt and said secretly, "Could it be that my aunt killed his apprentice?"

Although Li Yuanchen knew that Shangguan Linglong of the "Thousand-Armed Guanyin" was the number one female demon in the rivers and lakes, he never needed a reason to kill, even if he knew that she had killed Yu Wanchun's apprentice, he would not be surprised. But since he met Shangguan Linglong herself, and had a half-day relationship with her, Li Yuanchen began to reject his previous views on Shangguan Linglong, the female devil of the rivers and lakes. In any case, he no longer wanted to believe that this woman was the devil of murder.

Shangguan Linglong said: "Then do you recognize who I am?"

Yu Wanchun was already in tears, his only beloved disciple was killed by Shangguan Linglong, he was heartbroken, and he vowed to take revenge one day.

Yu Wanchun's voice was no longer as relaxed as before, and this voice showed that he was already an old man. "You, you are Shangguan, Shangguan Linglong!"

Shangguan Linglong nodded with a smile, Yu Wanchun saw this smile, it was not a charming and sexy smile, he was furious, he wanted to peel that face off alive!

Yu Wanchun picked up the iron lotus seeds in both hands, and was about to send them out, but only one person could hear it: "Slow!"

It was none other than Qi Ying'er who spoke.

Qi Ying'er stepped forward and took two steps, stopped her figure and said, "Do you want to avenge your dead apprentice?"

Yu Wanchun shouted: "Nonsense! Don't stop me, or I'll kill you!"

Qi Ying'er didn't mean to be timid, and said, "Then you can't kill her today!"

Everyone was shocked, and Yu Wanchun asked, "Why? Why can't I kill her? She has killed countless people, and everyone has been punished, so why can't I kill her?"

Qi Ying'er said: "You can kill her! But not today!"

Yu Wanchun shouted: "Why can't I do it today, where will I go to find her after today?" I must kill her today!" After speaking, Yu Wanchun had already sent out two iron lotus seeds, only to hear the sound of "bell" twice, Qi Ying'er held the sword in his hand, and blocked the two lotus seeds halfway.

Needless to say, the swiftness of the lotus seeds, Qi Ying'er was able to take out the sword in an instant, and blocked all the two lotus seeds that had not diminished in the slightest, and seeing that Qi Ying'er's hands were clenched, even the sword body no longer trembled, how could this be?

Not only Yu Wanchun, but everyone was amazed at the moment. It was still difficult for Qi Ying'er to stop the iron lotus seed, but now it seemed so easy. Shangguan Linglong couldn't think of a reason.

Yu Wanchun shouted: "It seems that I have to kill you before I can kill her!"

Qi Ying'er said: "Even if you kill me, you can't kill her!"

Yu Wanchun ignored him, rushed up and slapped at the door in front of him, the palm wind whistled, and Qi Ying'er dodged with a figure. Yu Wanchun then flew up with a leg, but Qi Ying'er blocked it with the scabbard. Yu Wanchun took advantage of Qi Ying'er's slight inattention, and with a flick of his thumb, it was two iron lotus seeds, and at such a close distance, Qi Ying'er couldn't stop it.

But Qi Ying'er's figure flashed, and he swung his sword with his right hand, not only blocking it, but also relying on the toughness of the sword to rebound back, Yu Wanchun hurriedly withdrew his body, turned over, and the two lotus seeds flew under him and pierced through the wooden door of the inn. Sun Qiao'er saw it in the rear, screaming and jumping. Li Yuanchen didn't expect that Qi Ying'er, a kid, would be able to drink a few rounds of contemporary martial arts seniors. Shangguan Linglong, but he was still frowning and thinking about something, because Qi Ying'er's moves were not wonderful, just very ordinary dodging and swinging the sword, just like doing some basic sword movements, but it dissolved Yu Wanchun's moves for decades, which was simply amazing.

Yu Wanchun withdrew his body and shouted, "Good boy, I didn't expect you to be deeply hidden!"

Qi Ying'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not that I'm hiding deeply, it's that you've become weaker?"

Yu Wanchun shouted: "What are you talking about? Stinky boy! Say I'm getting weaker! Praise you twice, you have gone to heaven!"

Qi Ying'er put her sword into the sheath. Yu Wanchun said: "What do you mean?

At the moment, everyone didn't understand what Qi Ying'er was doing, and in front of the opponent, he actually withdrew the sword, which was a big taboo in the duel.

I only heard Qi Ying'er say: "If you continue to fight, you will be the one who will die!"

Yu Wanchun said: "You!" He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and when he looked at it again, his hands became white, and cold sweat was left on his back.

Qi Ying'er said: "When you cry, you already lose." ”

Yu Wanchun had faintly understood in his heart, but as a senior in the rivers and lakes, how could he hear a nameless child shouting and drinking, "What do you mean?"

Qi Ying'er said, "I don't need to say more, you know it yourself." If you leave now, I will let you go, and I will not stop you if you can come and kill me and kill her in the future. ”

Everyone couldn't understand what he was saying, and Sun Qiao'er couldn't help but say, "What are you talking about?" But Yu Wanchun knew in his heart that if he continued to fight, he would definitely die.

Shangguan Linglong seemed to have understood, and slowly stood up, Qi Ying'er turned his back to him, but his whole body became alert, and he slowly grasped the sword in the sheath, and Yu Wanchun also stared at Shangguan who came slowly. Sun Qiao'er shouted: "Auntie, aunt?" Li Yuanchen didn't say anything, he didn't say much.

Shangguan slowly walked up to Qi Ying'er, put his hand lightly on his shoulder, and whispered to him, "What's the matter?"

Qi Ying'er didn't squint, still holding her sword tightly.

Shangguan smiled at Wan Chun Lingling again: "Yu Daxia, you can go." ”

Yu Wanchun said: "What, hum, demon girl, I'm going to kill you!"

Shangguan said with a smile: "Don't be reckless Yu Daxia, who can't see that you have been in a hurry to attack your heart, and you have forcibly performed your luck, and at this time, you will reverse it, and the internal injuries will not be shallow." If you do fight me, who will die?"

Yu Wanchun stopped talking, because his face was getting paler and paler.

Shangguan smiled: "Don't be angry, don't recuperate well, you don't even have a chance to kill me, you have already gone to see Lord Yama first." ”

Yu Wanchun stabilized his breath and snorted: "Only you, the devil, will go to hell!"

Shangguan Linglong laughed chillingly: "Come on, Yu Daxia, who doesn't have unjust blood on their hands?" ”

Yu Wanchun's eyes widened when he was said, his beard became messy, and he exhaled.

Shangguan Linglong said: "To tell you the truth, I, Shangguan Linglong, have never been afraid of the enemy's revenge, if you want to seek revenge, I will always wait for you, but since this child has said it, I don't want to take advantage of others, so please let Yu Daxia take care of himself." ”

Qi Ying'er didn't speak, he withdrew his body so that Shangguan Linglong's hand could leave, and he said to Wan Chun: "Senior Yu, can you tell me what is the purpose of your coming here today?"

Yu Wanchun snorted: "Good boy, do you think that if you let me go, I will owe you a personal favor, and I will tell you the truth, right?"

Qi Ying'er didn't speak.

Yu Wanchun said again: "Okay, I'm not an ungrateful villain, but I can't live up to the trust of others." All I can tell you is that I was asked to keep an eye on you and not let you leave. ”

Sun Qiao'er said: "Who is it?"

Yu Wanchun said: "I can only say so much. ”

Qi Ying'er bowed to him and said, "Thank you seniors." ”

Yu Wanchun snorted, and said before leaving: "Boy, how can I say that I am not a wolf-hearted beast, I also remember your kindness, I will meet you in the future!"

Qi Ying'er said: "Since the old man Yu has already told me the truth, there will be grievances between us." ”

When Yu Wanchun heard this, he blew his beard, glared at Shangguan Linglong, and then turned over, jumped over the roof opposite, and disappeared. Only stayed in the air and said: "I will come to take revenge, Shangguan Linglong!"

Shangguan Linglong chuckled: "Accompany you at any time." ”

Sun Qiao'er ran to Qi Ying'er and grabbed his arm, her eyes were already soaked red with tears, "It's too dangerous for you to do this." ”

Qi Ying'er just smiled, then looked at Shangguan Linglong, and Shangguan Linglong also smiled at him.

Only then did Li Yuanchen speak: "Who the hell wants him to stare at us?"

Shangguan Linglong said: "You want to know, then let's just continue to wait?"

Li Yuanchen said: "I, uh. He didn't talk much, but it was also because he didn't speak very well.
