Chapter 65: The Sword is gone
The man was a young man, about twenty years old, nine feet tall, wearing a silver-gray robe, with a white silk tie around his waist, clear eyebrows, gentle and elegant, a white silk scarf on his head, and black spots on his face and body.
The young man obviously fell not lightly, he gasped for breath, and it took a long time to stand up with his teeth cracked, but he still held his waist, he looked at Huo Jun and said: "You ugly ghost, do you have to fall me to death if you hang me slowly, and you have to fall me to death to finish?" β
After that, a pair of show fists slammed towards Huo Jun, although the young man was very angry on his face, but his movements were very light, like dusting, Huo Jun looked funny, and said: "Hey, Lao Tzu saved you, why are you still hurting people?"
Only then did the young man stop, he looked at Huo Jun carefully in surprise, and said, "What's the matter, you are not in the same group as them?"
Huo Jun said: "What 'they'? Who are you talking about? Lao Tzu is just passing by, seeing you hanging yourself here, I just want to ask, if you don't want to tell it, forget it, but you can't beat people, right?"
The young man suddenly swooped, fell to the ground again, and cried: "It turns out that you are not in the same group as them, although you saved me, but you can only let me live for a few more moments, and when you are gone, I will have to die." After speaking, he burst into tears.
Huo Jun said: "Oh, a big man, what are you crying about, what is there to be embarrassed about, tell Lao Tzu, there is no single-plank bridge in the world that cannot be crossed, who bullied you, Lao Tzu will help you take revenge." β
The young man's eyes lit up and he said, "Can you really help me?"
Huo Jun said: "This is nature. Go ahead. β
The young man said, "Then you can lend me two hundred taels of silver." β
Huo Jun said: "This ...... , You see Lao Tzu is much cleaner than his face now, he can't even afford to buy food, and he is going to the mountains to hunt some game, anything else, this borrowing silver, Lao Tzu can't help you. β
The young man was stunned, looked at Huo Jun again, and told him what had happened. It turned out that this young man's surname was Shang and his name was Huaijiang. He lives in Luzhou, Jiang County, this time he came out to Tokyo to catch the exam, who knew that he came here, was robbed of silver by the mountain king of this mountain, at this time, he was penniless, he felt that he couldn't live the cultivation of his parents, and he couldn't think about it for a while, so he was going to hang himself, but he just put on the rope and regretted it, so he hugged his feet, but the more so, the tighter the rope was pulled, and then he met Huo Jun to save him.
Huo Jun nodded after hearing this, and said, "You are a person from this place, you should be familiar with the road, why do you have to take this deserted road?"
Shang Huaijiang said: "Engong didn't know, originally the Great Song Dynasty only had a literary examination every autumn, at that time, all walks of life went to Beijing to catch the exam, but now the Great Song Dynasty has just been established not long ago, and there is an urgent need for talents. Who would have thought, but encountered this, ah......" said and cried again.
Huo Jun laughed, he said: "Ah, it's just this little thing, it's okay, it's okay, how many taels of silver? Lao Tzu will give you the silver back, you take Lao Tzu to the mountains for a walk." β
Shang Huaijiang couldn't believe it, he said: "Engong, I have two hundred taels of silver, do you really want to give me back?" He looked at Huo Jun and nodded, and said: "But, Engong, the robber on that mountain is very powerful, and his martial arts are strong, Engong, you are alone, I'm afraid it's ......."
Huo Jun said: "It's okay, if Lao Tzu lets them be killed, you can hang yourself again, but if Lao Tzu gives you the silver back, even if it is picked, do you say right?"
Shang Huaijiang said: "In this way, thank you so much, by the way, I haven't asked Engong for your name, where is the fairy town? β
Huo Jun said: "Our old Xi family lives in Hedong, Lao Tzu's name is Huo Jun, there is no need to repay the favor, if Lao Tzu dies, you don't need to collect the body, and you don't need to burn incense every year, anyway, if Lao Tzu dies, you have to commit suicide again." β
Shang Huaijiang said: "Engong is very right, then I will lead the way." With that, he walked towards the mountain.
Huo Jun looked at his back but was stunned, thought about it, jumped forward, and caught up with him in two steps, Huo Jun grabbed Shang Huaijiang's wrist, Shang Huaijiang was stunned, and suddenly bared his teeth and cracked his mouth, he said: "Engong, ...... are you?"
Huo Jun saw that Shang Huaijiang didn't look defensive, and grabbed him coldly, he really had no strength, and the doubts in his heart were suddenly gone. Huo Jun immediately let go, and he smiled: "The mountain road is difficult, what if you fall down as a scholar?" β
Shang Huaijiang said: "Thank you so much." He pointed to the layers of lush mountain peaks again, and said to Huo Jun: "Engong, if you go up this cliff, you will be the bandit's nest." β
Huo Jun looked up and saw that in the middle of this lush peak, there was a smooth cliff, as if a knife had cut it, and this cliff was only five feet wide, like a sheep intestine path, leading straight to the clouds.
Huo Jun said: "There is no road here, could it be that those green forest heroes came down from here and went up?"
Shang Huaijiang said smoothly: "Green Forest Hero?" He was stunned for a moment, and said: "Yes, there are a few little minions who are leaning on the rope that comes from above, and a big man who takes the lead in martial arts is really amazing. β
Huo Jun listened to Shang Huaijiang's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Haha, of course you scholar don't know what's going on, what's going on? Obviously, the man in the green forest jumped up with the power of the tree vines next to the cliff, otherwise he is not an immortal, how could he fly up all at once." β
Shang Huaijiang listened to Huo Jun's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Engong is very right, then Engong, how can we go up." β
Huo Jun said: "This is easy to do, I will first follow the tricks of the green forest hero, leap up crookedly, and then find a green vine to go down and take you to the mountain." "Anyway, as soon as the internal force is transported, it has already flown up.
Shang Huaijiang smiled slyly below, his palm spread to his mouth, and shouted, "Engong, do you want to make a sturdy rattan...... Engong, you have to be careful, you have to take care......"
Huo Jun made a few leaps, with the strength of the vines next to him, he had come to the mountain, the distance from the top of the mountain is not too high, only a few tens of meters, the mountain is also lush, there are all kinds of trees everywhere, and occasionally you can hear the faint sound of beasts in the distance.
Huo Jun looked into the distance, but he didn't see any signs of human population, thinking that maybe this dense forest was too dense, let's take a walk and look at it in the distance. While he was leaning on the vine to see which one was thicker, and wanted to tie a rope, he wanted to draw his Seven Spirit Sword, and he wanted to use the sword as a machete.
However, as soon as Huo Jun touched his waist, he was stunned for a momentβthe Seven Spirit Sword is gone!(To be continued.) )
