Ouyang Yuqing saw that Lu Sanchuan was no longer so alert, so he pointed to the sword and asked, "Brother Tai, can you borrow the sword to take a look?"

Lu Sanchuan was about to agree, but Jiang Chengzi said coldly: "Personal weapons will not be borrowed!"

Ouyang Yuqing saw Jiang Chengzi's cold eyebrows and serious expression, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and said with a smile: "Yes! Yes!" Seeing Jiang Chengzi intentionally or unintentionally glance at his hand on Lu Sanchuan's shoulder, he quickly withdrew it and put it on his lap upright.

Lu Sanchuan was quite displeased, but he didn't dare to express it, but said in his heart: Why is Senior Jiang so serious? If he has a cold face to everyone, how can he make friends?

Jiang Chengzi has been opening a medical hall for a long time, and he has seen countless faces, and he knows the subtle expressions on each person's face well, and when he saw Lu Sanchuan's eyebrows locked lightly, his eyes sank, and he was silent, he guessed that he had something in his heart, and said: "The lover of a gentleman is also virtuous, and the lover of a fine person is also appeased." He knew that Ouyang Yuqing didn't read much and didn't know how to write and write, so he specially said this to Lu Sanchuan.

After hearing this, Lu Sanchuan suddenly realized, let go of his prejudice against Jiang Chengzi, and admired Jiang Chengzi more and more.

When Ouyang Yuqing heard words like "yes, yes", he only felt dizzy and his eyes were black, he shook his hand to drive him away, and said to Lu Sanchuan: "This little brother, you said you want to find Granny Xia?"

Lu Sanchuan said: "Exactly! If Your Excellency knows Granny Xia's residence, please tell her!"

As soon as he spoke, Ouyang Yuqing immediately relaxed, grinned, and put his hand on Lu Sanchuan's shoulder, and when he caught a glimpse of Jiang Chengzi, he immediately took it back, "Little brother is polite! I took your money, so I should tell you." Granny Xia lives in Jianshan. ”

Lu Sanchuan was confused, "Sword Mountain?"

"Hmm. Ouyang Yuqing nodded, and was about to elaborate, when he saw Xiao Er bring the steaming dishes to the table, his eyes straightened, and he drooped down.

Lu Sanchuan didn't feel funny, "If Your Excellency doesn't dislike it, just eat some with us!"

Ouyang Yuqing immediately said: "Okay! Then I'm welcome!" He took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks, held them in his hands, and turned them back and forth, but in the end he just took a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, "Well, good meat, good meat." ”

Lu Sanchuan smiled: "Your Excellency likes it." ”

"I like it!" Ouyang Yuqing put down his chopsticks and told him everything he knew, "The so-called Sword Mountain is a tall mountain like a sword, with cliffs on all sides, and only the cliffs in the south have a road to walk. ”

Luan Buwei said: "Isn't it a contradiction for you to say that there are cliffs on all sides, but you also say that there is a road to go on the cliffs in the south?"

Ouyang Yuqing waved his hand and said, "No, I said that there is a road to go, not a smooth and wide road. The cliff on the south side is smooth and neat vertically, and a sword is inserted deep into the cliff every five zhang. When I say there is a way to go, I mean the bare hilt of the sword. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded.

Ouyang Yuqing saw that their eyes were round and their mouths were open, and he was very proud, "Hehe, I can't think of it! Granny Xia has made a light effort, so such a little danger is naturally not a problem, but if someone wants to visit Granny Xia, they must pass this hurdle first." ”

Lu Sanchuan looked at the triumphant Ouyang Yuqing in a daze, and sighed: "Not to mention how Granny Xia's kung fu is, who can insert the entire sword into the stone on this cliff, only exposing the hilt? Can... Who can plunge the whole sword into the stone on this cliff, revealing only the hilt? Dare to ask Your Excellency, how high is the sword mountain?"

Ouyang Yuqing stretched out a hand and said, "At least five hundred zhang!"

Jiang Chengzi snorted coldly, "Bragging doesn't make drafts! Who in the world today can have such a miraculous skill and submerge a hundred swords into the cliff in one go?"

Ouyang Yuqing smiled: "I didn't say it was a breath!"

Jiang Chengzi said: "Then you should tell me who inserted these hundred swords into it!"

Ouyang Yuqing said: "It's the sword idiot senior!"

The crowd became more and more surprised, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't speak with my mouth open. After a while, Jiang Chengzi said first: "Why is the sword idiot senior like this!"

Ouyang Yuqing laughed a few times, picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, and said, "The sword idiot predecessor is Granny Xia's father, and my father will do anything to protect his daughter!"

Jiang Chengzi's eyes sank, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "What nonsense!"

Ouyang Yuqing was not nervous at this time, and picked up a few pieces of beef one after another and put them in his mouth, seeing that Lu Sanchuan and the others were dumbfounded, he drew a circle with chopsticks, and said: "Don't be stunned, eat, everyone eat, listen to me carefully while eating." ”

Only then did everyone hold their chopsticks, and they picked up some food from the plate in front of them and put it in their mouths.

Ouyang Yuqing continued: "The world only knows that the predecessor of the sword idiot is obsessed with swordsmanship, but I don't know why he is obsessed. A long time ago, the predecessor of the sword idiot was just a nobody in the rivers and lakes, and with his handsome appearance and free and easy personality, he attracted many young heroines. But no one looks down on the predecessors of the sword idiot, but he has a soft spot for a girl who grew up together.

After a few years, the two got married and gave birth to a daughter, who is now Granny Xia. When the women in the rivers and lakes heard the news, they rushed to kill his wife in front of the sword idiot seniors, which was not enough, they wanted to throw the baby girl to death in front of the sword idiot seniors, and the sword idiot seniors were full of grief and anger, and their full potential exploded, breaking through the shackles to kill those women, and rescued their daughters and hid in the deep forest.

In order to protect his daughter, he practiced swordsmanship hard, and over time, he became addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.

Despite this, his love for his daughter has never been neglected, and when his daughter was ten years old, he created this sword path.

The sword idiot seniors are walking on the ground up and down, and Granny Xia is also quite relaxed. In addition to their father and daughter, a total of five people reached the peak of Sword Mountain, but only two of them saw the predecessors of Sword Idiot. One is the world-famous Sword Painting Three Winds Forest Zhongzhong, and the other is called Yun Shangxing, I'm afraid you haven't heard of it. ”

Jiang Chengzi listened to him speak in such detail, so he dispelled his doubts and listened to him quietly.

Ouyang Yuqing continued: "These two were originally brothers in the same sect, and they met on the same day, and they went up to the peak of Sword Mountain one after another, and they met the sword idiot seniors together, but the ending was not the same. The sword idiot senior accepted Lin Zhongli as an apprentice and taught him to draw the sword and the three winds, but he sneered at the clouds. Yun Shangxing was not satisfied, cut off the brotherhood with Lin Zhongli, and lived on the top of the mountain and practiced swordsmanship. ”

Jiang Chengzi snorted and said, "The old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has never heard of such a person as having a cloud ascending!"

Ouyang Yuqing said with a smile: "Each has its own pursuit! Some people practice martial arts to be famous and famous all over the world, some people practice martial arts just to perform chivalry and righteousness, and some people practice martial arts to gain fame." Cloud Shangxing is different, he practices martial arts, just to become stronger. ”

Jiang Chengzi said: "The strength and weakness also need to be compared, if he is not born to compare with others, how can he know the strength and weakness?"

Ouyang Yuqing said: "This is...", but suddenly his eyes widened, his chopsticks pointed to a plate of beef, and his lips couldn't help trembling, "Yes... Poison..."Before he finished speaking, he straightened up and fell limply on the table.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and they threw away their chopsticks one after another, suddenly feeling dizzy and sleepy, their eyes were spinning, and they smashed on the table not long after.

The moment Jiang Chengzi noticed the abnormality, he immediately mobilized his internal force, and pressed the medicinal properties with his strong internal force, and then jumped to the counter, grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper and lifted it, and shouted angrily: "Good you black-hearted businessman, you dare to poison people!"

The shopkeeper was so frightened that his legs were weak and he couldn't stand steadily, because he was held by Jiang Chengzi by the collar, so he didn't fall to the ground softly. He trembled and raised his hands into fists above his head, and said to Jiang Chengzi: "Good man Mingcha, good man Mingcha! The villain has been running a shop for decades, and he has been doing his own business, where would he poison and murder customers?"

Jiang Chengzi didn't believe it, and he was about to smash it with his fist.

But I heard someone say: "Hey, your friend ate the wrong thing himself, how can he blame the treasure on Shopkeeper Hong?"

"Yes, I've been eating in Hong's shopkeeper for more than ten years, why have I never had an accident?"

"It's clear that you deliberately set up a situation to defraud and make money!"

In the tavern, everyone's accusations became heavier, and Jiang Chengzi's anger gradually rose, eager to slaughter these people.

Shopkeeper Hong said in a timely manner: "Folks, it's okay, no one wants to encounter trouble, but there is no way to encounter it, I think this guest officer is annoying enough, you better stop and eat separately!"

Then the people quieted down, turned around, and ate their own meals.

Jiang Chengzi rolled his eyes, and saw that the shopkeeper Hong was kind and kind-looking, not like a treacherous person at all, after thinking for a moment, he still put the shopkeeper down, and clasped his fists: "I'm sorry, I'm too impulsive." ”

Shopkeeper Hong is a real person in the end, he just flattened his collar and raised his hand to point upward, "Maybe your friend ate something unclean on the road, and now he is sick." There is a guest room upstairs, you can take them up for a while, and I'll let Xiao Er help you. ”

Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said, "No need", took out a silver ingot from his arms, put it on the counter, then turned around, walked to the table, picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks, put it under his nose and sniffed it, there was no peculiar smell.

He thought: It's about sweat medicine or something, and it's fine after a while.

Jiang Chengzi successively picked up Lu Sanchuan, Su Qing and Luan Buwei and sent them into the guest room, went down the stairs, and was about to hug Luan Wei, when the shopkeeper Hong came over, put three pieces of broken silver on the table, and said: "A guest room and a table of dishes don't cost so much money, these silver taels are looking for you." If we do a small business, we can't charge more money, otherwise we won't be sure. ”

Jiang Chengzi smiled slightly at the shopkeeper, and was about to accept the broken silver, when he suddenly asked, "May I ask the shopkeeper, do you know where Jianshan is?"

Shopkeeper Hong said, "Sword Mountain, do you mean the mountain that is as straight as a sword?"

Jiang Chengzi didn't know what Sword Mountain was, but since this mountain was called "Sword Mountain", it should be like a sword. He nodded.

Shopkeeper Hong said: "You walk along a road outside, walk twenty or thirty miles, and you can see the mountain." ”

Jiang Chengzi said: "Thank you shopkeeper, this silver will be used as my asking fee!" After that, he picked up Luan Wei and strode upstairs.

Shopkeeper Hong was about to say something, but when he saw him leaving, he just sighed lightly, grabbed three pieces of broken silver and put them in his arms, and muttered: "I really don't know what these Jianghu guests think, silver is such a good thing, they don't cherish it." ”
