Chapter 43: The Great Sword
The sun and the moon are like shuttles, the stars are moving, and the time of the year passes quietly like flowing water in just a snap of a finger.
In front of the majestic gate tower of Changming City, a man and a horse stand proudly.
The young man wore a silver-white robe, a long knife on his back, a tall posture, a handsome and handsome face, and a shallow smile curled at the corners of his mouth, shining brightly in the sunlight.
However, the chasing horse beside him was a little emaciated, his eyes were slightly drooping, there seemed to be a trace of resentment floating on his long face, and the shiny fur on his body was also a lot darker, and he looked malnourished.
In this regard, Chu Yun is also very helpless, he also hopes that the horse can thrive, but for the matter of raising horses, he is indeed not as good as an ordinary horseman, and he can only hope for the Tang family, I hope that after arriving at the Tang family, the chasing horse can be well taken care of.
In a year's time, Chu Yun's figure has become much more refined, and the muscle contours outline delicate arcs like flowing water, with ups and downs, without too much bulge, and it looks like it has a sense of beauty of strength.
The two martial arts that he got from Wu Tianyang, the Nine Flash Steps and the Demon Cloud Palm, have also been cultivated to the point of perfection in this year, and his own cultivation has successfully broken through to the realm of the late stage of the day after tomorrow, and even the innate realm is only one step away.
Of course, during this year, the heat poison in Chu Yun's body also flares up from time to time, making him miserable, and the feeling that something in his body is constantly being lost is becoming more and more obvious, as if he has lost something most precious, and there is always a sense of emptiness floating in his heart.
But what is gratifying is that the frequency of that kind of hot poison is gradually decreasing, the time interval is getting longer and longer, and the pain of the attack has also been slightly reduced, Chu Yun even once, directly gritted his teeth and resisted for three or four full hours, and did not completely faint as before.
This made his heart that had been hanging a lot more relaxed.
Glancing sideways at the wind-chasing horse beside him, and gently patting the horse's neck, Chu Yun grinned, stroked his sleeve robe, led the horse, and strode into Changming City.
The second time I came to Changming City, the mood was completely different, the first time I was kidnapped by someone, I don't know whether I was alive or dead, but this time I took the initiative to come for my goal, and under the pleasure, the surrounding environment seemed to have become better.
Changming City is worthy of being the imperial city of the Great Yuan Kingdom, Qionglou Jinque, carved beams and embroidered households, everywhere is full of brilliance, chasing horses can be seen everywhere on the street, the horses around Chu Yun, after a few more glances at the same kind of people with bright fur on the street, silently lowered their heads, with a melancholy face.
But Chu Yun was walking on the street with a big grin, always with a smile on his face, looking around, happily admiring the beautiful scenery of the imperial city.
Today's imperial city is obviously much more lively than the last time he came, the streets are full of people, all kinds of expensive carriages are overwhelmed, and some young ladies dressed in brocade clothes and jade belts, silk and satin, can be seen everywhere.
really responds to the old saying, don't compare the size of officials in the imperial city, these young masters and young ladies may be which generals and important ministers, the descendants of powerful people, if one is not good, offend it, it will be troublesome.
And on the street today, there are many more, holding long swords, young warriors who resist big swords, all of them are full of blood, their eyes are bright, they walk calmly, and they are masters with good strength at a glance.
It is not difficult to see that these people should all come for the martial arts competition of the first family in the imperial city, hoping to take this opportunity to worship the sect, get ahead from now on, and be the person on that person.
This is also the purpose of Chu Yun's trip, but he is not in a hurry, he travels all the way, takes a look, and is not leisurely.
After a year of precipitation, the enthusiasm of the immortal master has gradually subsided, and the eyes of the world are more focused on the competition of the first family, coupled with Chu Yun's own changes, basically no one has recognized him along the way, even if there is a person with excellent eyesight, who recognizes him as the innocent and suffering young man a year ago, he just nodded his head and said hello.
Chu Yun didn't care, but he was happy, and after walking around leisurely with the wind chasing horse for more than an hour, he began to find someone to inquire about the location of the Tang family.
The Tang family is one of the eight great families in the imperial city, and it is famous in the entire imperial city, and it is believed that it should not be difficult to find.
Chu Yun casually asked someone about it, and then learned the specific location of the Tang family.
Leading the wind chasing horse, in the direction pointed out to him by passers-by, and just as he was about to speed up his pace, he heard a quarrel.
"My son-in-law, although you are the young master of the Tang family, you can't bully my hard-working businessman like this!"
"You ask everyone to judge the reason, my thing is not only at this price, you don't buy it, but you can't stop others from buying it!"
......
Chu Yun looked stunned, he heard the words "Young Master of the Tang Family", it happened that he was going to the Tang family now, and he went to see which young master of the Tang family was this, and let him lead the way, which saved a lot of trouble.
The sound came from the weapon shop in front of which had the "Famous Sword Pavilion" hanging on the door, Chu Yun smiled, quickened his pace, and walked towards the weapon shop that was surrounded by a crowd.
Finally squeezed into the crowd, Chu Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, the emaciated figure holding a long sword and his face was a little red, wasn't it Tang Lin's kid!
Seeing Tang Lin who had been with him for more than a year again, Chu Yun was also very happy in his heart, so he tied the chasing wind to the side of the road, squeezed directly into the store, and patted Tang Lin's shoulder with a smile.
Tang Lin was holding the long sword, stalemate with the boss, his face was a little anxious, he didn't notice that Chu Yun had entered the store at all, he suddenly felt someone tap on the shoulder, turned his head to look, and suddenly his eyes were bright, and an exaggerated smile appeared on his face.
Although Chu Yun's appearance had some subtle changes, Tang Lin recognized it for the first time.
"Yike...... Xiao ...... Brother Chu Yun!" Tang Lin was so surprised that he almost called Chu Yun into Xiao Fang again.
"Hey...... What's the matter, I haven't seen you for more than a year, why are you still so thin, like a firewood stick!" Chu Yun said with a smile.
Tang Lin scratched his head a little embarrassed, and came again: "Hehe, I knew you would come, I have often wandered around these city gates during this time, just to meet you unexpectedly and have a sudden encounter!"
Chu Yun was stunned, he didn't expect that some of his ways of speaking in prison had been learned a lot by this kid, but he felt very awkward just listening to him talk like this.
Most of the people watching around knew Tang Lin, and seeing that the two were talking happily, they were obviously very good friends, but Tang Lin was in a dilemma now, the sword he wanted was worth a lot of money, and it was a little embarrassing to go up at this time, if he couldn't help him raise money.
Looking at the wind-chasing horse when Chu Yun came, they were all thin like that, their fur was about to turn gray, and they were obviously not rich and noble, and the eyes of the surrounding crowd suddenly became weird.
Then Tang Lin has to have that big sword, now it depends on how the two of them end.
Chu Yun immediately sensed the strange gazes cast by the crowd around him, and he also wondered in his heart, why did Tang Lingui, one of the young masters of the eight major families in the Imperial City, always seem weak and weak, and his courage was relatively small, and now he couldn't even afford to pay for a sword.
But who called him a friend of Chu Fuhao, this field still has to be supported.
Chu Yun quietly looked around, quietly took out the fist-sized Night Pearl from his arms, and threw it in his hand casually, with a light look on his face, as if he didn't care if the Night Pearl would fall to the ground.
This scene suddenly made the surrounding crowd stunned, and there was a hot feeling on their faces, although they were born in the imperial city, but such a big night pearl is so expensive, and it is not something that can be seen everywhere, but this young man made them look away.
That Tang Lin also saw it straight, he hadn't seen the Night Pearl, he had even seen it bigger than this, but it was the family's property, he had never owned it, and he had never seen anyone throw the Night Pearl like this, if he accidentally fell, how could it be good.
Tang Lin's eyes showed worry, but Chu Yun waved his hand casually, and said lightly: "Look at your eyes, isn't it just a ball, just a plaything in your hand, worried about a bird!"
Tang Lin "......"
The surrounding crowd "......"
Chu Yun smiled and said aloud: "Okay, let's talk about the situation!"
Tang Lin came back to his senses, lowered his eyebrows and hesitated for a while, and muttered, "I...... I want this sword!"
The shopkeeper listened, and then looked at the night pearl in Chu Yun's hand, and suddenly felt happy in his heart, but his face was aggrieved, and he said with a wry smile:
"Ouch, little brother, since you are a friend of Young Master Tang, then you have to judge it, my Starfall Sword is worth a thousand gold, but Young Master Tang came to me and didn't give me a hundred gold, isn't this deceiving me and playing with me?"
The corners of Chu Yun's mouth twitched, and he threw away the night pearl in his hand, and said casually: "Isn't it just a broken sword, you dare to offer a thousand gold, look at me like this, like a person who has never seen a big sword, say a clear price, the master will collect it for you!"
