Chapter 16: The Man with a Thousand Faces (Part II)

"How can it be a girl?" Hai Canglan said secretly.

"Who are you, why do you pretend to be Old Man Xue?" Hai Canglan then asked.

The drunken woman tore off her mask and messy hair, and when the wind blew, most of the alcohol was gone, and she came to her senses, looking like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl: "I...... Who am I and what does it matter to you? Why do you want to tell you?"

After saying that, I wanted to leave.

Canglan jumped forward and crossed his arm: "It doesn't matter to me who you are, but you can't ignore it if you pretend to be my friend." I don't like to do things with women, so you'd better explain it yourself. ”

"You say that Old Man Xue is your friend, in that case, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you who I am, I am ......"

The woman pretended to speak easily, and before she finished speaking, she raised her hand violently and slashed at Hai Canglan's chest, Hai Canglan immediately reached out to block, and then flipped her wrist and pushed the woman's arm back, and then controlled her.

The woman refused to surrender, and with her other hand, three small white feathered arrows flew out and suddenly flew towards Hai Canglan's heart.

Hai Canglan turned sideways unhurriedly, pinched the fingers of his right hand, and steadily caught her three small arrows.

Then with a light touch on her back, he sealed her acupoint.

Hai Canglan chuckled and said, "You little girl, you are not very old, but you are ruthless." I just asked who you were, and you used three poisoned arrows to attack me, and when I helped you out of the siege during the day, why didn't you see such great ability?"

"There are so many people during the day that I can't just use my kung fu. The little girl said.

"Haha, repaying virtue with resentment, and revenge with kindness is like the practice of the Eclipse Moon Sect. Hai Canglan continued.

"You know I'm from the Eclipse Moon ......Cult? Do you recognize the little arrow?" asked the little girl.

"Although I don't know much about the Eclipse Moon Sect, I happen to know this. Don't beat around the bush, let's explain it quickly, and save us all trouble. Hai Canglan said.

"I ...... I am actually the granddaughter of the old man Xue you said, my name is Xue Xiaoyi, and I am the little maidservant who dresses up the princess of the Eclipse Moon of the Netherworld, and this time I followed my princess to participate in the martial arts trial. The little girl said slowly, and said a word, glancing at the face of the sea in front of her.

"You say you're Old Man Xue's granddaughter? Haha, where do you see the two of you like your grandchildren? His respectful face, how can there be a granddaughter like you? However, he is already eccentric, you are more eccentric than him, this is like. Forget it, if you don't want to say it, forget it. Let me ask you again, why are you pretending to be Old Man Xue, then Old Man Xue, hehe, who is your grandfather?"

"My grandfather...... Old man Xue, known as Xue Bulao in the sect, was originally a guest on the Yeling Jun's mansion in Rongxiang Kingdom, and was driven out by Yeling Jun ten years ago for unknown reasons, and then ran to the Netherworld, and one night sneaked into my Eclipse Moon Sect Pope, peeked at my princess taking a bath, was caught by the princess, swallowed the withered grass for him, and became a slave of my princess. Although his character is not good, he has a unique ability. The little girl said.

"You said he was your grandfather, but now you can't even call yourself, haha...... However, he now seems to be in his sixties, even ten years ago, he would be in his fifties, how can he still be greedy for women, watching your princess take a bath? Moreover, most people are afraid of the Eclipse Moon Pope, even if the princess is beautiful, his price is inevitably too great...... What do you think is his unique ability?" Hai Canglan asked.

"He can find the rarest deposits needed to smelt the peerless sword. The little girl continued.

Hai Canglan looked amazed.

With this ability, he has made a lot of contributions to the Pope, and his skills are not bad, and now, he has been promoted to the Pope's middle level of the Moon Lord. The little girl said.

"He is a dignified moon lord, naturally he shouldn't be missing silver, why is he pretending to be a beggar in this Mufeng City, begging for wine and drinking?" Hai Canglan asked puzzled.

"Although this old man is the Pope's Moon Green Lord, but he has a bad character, and often gets drunk and causes trouble, this time the princess asked him to come to Mufeng City first to inquire about the news of the martial arts conference, for fear that he would drink and make a mistake, so he didn't give him much silver, and he was not allowed to use the Pope's martial arts, so as not to expose his identity, in order not to attract attention, he pretended to be a beggar. The little girl said.

"Old man Xue is really not your grandfather, you are really not stingy when you talk about him, haha...... Now it's time to talk about you, why are you pretending to be him, and who are you?" Hai Canglan asked.

"I'm really just a little maid who combs her hair next to the princess, otherwise how can my kung fu be so bad, I usually stay in the Pope, rarely go out, this time I came to Mufeng City with the princess, but there are many rules in the sect, and I still can't come and go freely, fortunately, I know a little bit of the ability to disguise, so I pretended to be Old Man Xue, and slipped out of the post station, I didn't expect to get into trouble in Yue's shop just after I came out, but fortunately I met you and relieved me, otherwise the princess knew, I would definitely be killed......" Speaking of this, the little girl pretended to be aggrieved and began to cry.

Hai Canglan stretched out his hand to untie her acupoint, and then said: "Okay, okay, don't cry, no matter what you say is true or not, anyway, for me, it makes no difference, in fact, I didn't want to make it difficult for you, your story is good, you can go." ”

"Are you really just letting me go?" said the little girl, incredulously.

"Well, you go quickly, or I may change my mind in a moment. Hai Canglan crossed his arms in front of his chest, deliberately scaring her.

The little girl walked happily into the distance, but after not taking a few steps, she ran back again.

"I see that you are wearing a long knife, and you don't look like a local, and you are also here to participate in the martial arts trial?" the little girl ran to Hai Canglan and asked with a smile.

"You also want to enter the Yunhua Pavilion, refer to the Heavenly Evolution Cultivation Sword, and then, come and fight for the first place in the world?" the little girl continued.

Hai Canglan sighed lightly: "I begged me to let you go just now, and now you run back by yourself, you little girl, I really don't know what you're thinking?"

He ignored her and walked slowly, towards the inn at the end of the long street in the distance......

"What do I think? I wonder if you heroes all want to be the first in the world? Also, I'm finally out now, but I don't want to go back now. I see that your martial arts are good, let's have a discussion, okay? My kung fu is not good, you have protected me these days? But don't worry, I won't let you protect me in vain, maybe, I can help you enter Qifeng Garden and participate in the martial arts trial, what do you think?" The little girl followed behind him, one moment on the left, and another on the right, but she never stopped.

"Haha...... There are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, where is there the first in the world forever?" Hai Canglan said with a smile.

"The year before last, there was a Rakshasa Xuanfeng palm, this year there is a day to perform the Xiuming sword, and next year there may be another Jizo Guiyuan sword, why do people always feel that the one who came out and was scrambled by everyone must be better than the one who came out first, why the martial arts created by one person hundreds of years ago must be better than the martial arts that have been continuously improved and perfected by the elites of several generations of sects in the rivers and lakes today?"

Hai Canglan shook his head lightly, and then said: "Even if you get the Xiuming Sword today and fight for the first place in the world, it's not a bunch of people looking at it, and you can't live a free life. ”

"These so-called peerless miracles in the rivers and lakes are like bait sprinkled in a pond, these martial arts people fight for this, and the small fish pulled by the bait............, what is the difference?

"Alas, you go a little slower, look at the way you are drinking in the restaurant today, it is estimated that you have not found your confidant yet, and besides, I am afraid that the woman you said you like has not been asked for, right? Even if you don't fight for the first place in the world, it's good to watch the excitement! Do you just sit upstairs alone and drink every day? Isn't that boring? Now so many people are competing for the Tianyan Xiuming Sword, and the Yunhua Pavilion of Mufeng Villa has also been in the limelight in the rivers and lakes in the past two years, and my little maidservant girl wants to see and see, don't you want to see it?" The little girl said.

Hai Canglan seemed to be a little moved by what she said, suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at the little girl, and then said very naturally: "The first can not be argued, but ...... There's a lively look, I like it. ”

Happiness seemed to come too suddenly, the little girl was overjoyed, stood beside Hai Canglan and said, "That's right." Isn't it true that the rivers and lakes should strive for the first place, and only by dividing the ranks can they be wonderful? Those who practice martial arts will have a fighting spirit and a goal, and they will be more energetic. ”

"Huh? I mean, to see the excitement, I didn't say to fight for the first place. Moreover, even if it is to fight for the first place, I will fight for it, why are you so happy?" Hai Canglan said with a deliberately stiff face.

"Ah, look at the excitement, look at the excitement, it's all the same. Hehe......" said the little girl with a smile.

"I heard that now the preliminary examination of the martial arts trial has ended, and now there are ten rookies from the preliminary examination to stand out, tomorrow in the Qifeng Garden five miles outside the city, these ten rookies will fight with twenty martial arts leaders who hold the gold medal, after two days, compete for ten places that can enter Yunhua Pavilion. The little girl said.

"Hehe, you little maid who dresses up, you really know a lot. Hai Canglan teased.

"If we want to enter the Qifeng Park smoothly tomorrow, we have to prepare now. It's up to me!" the little girl ignored him, and then said with a bit of smugness.

"We—did I say I'm going to take you there?" Hai Canglan smiled, and strode forward.

"I know that the two people in the Chengdong Post House who hold the Ling Jue Gold Medal are similar to you and me, and I can use the disguise technique to disguise you and me in their appearance, and I don't need to shrink my bones and transform my ......shape," the little girl said at a trott, following after a few steps.

"Our Eclipse Moon Sect's incense is the strongest...... the little girl continued.

Hai Canglan suddenly stopped and turned his head slightly: "Don't hurry up and keep up, we'll go to the post station in the east of the city now......"

"Oh, yes!" the little girl smiled and hurried to follow.

"What's your name?"

"Xiaoyi, Yuan Xiaoyi......"

"Haha...... This time, I don't have the surname Xue......"

"Hehe......"

It was late at night, and the moon generously swayed its bright light.

Under the moonlight, the two walked towards the east post station of the city......
