Chapter 41: News from all directions
Lin Xingyu slapped his head, before he could eat, the flames of war had burned to him, no matter how he answered this question, it was not right.
"Let's eat first, and then we'll talk about it after eating, okay?"
"No, say it first, and then eat it!"
"Yes, it's not too late to eat after speaking!" Gu Zhenhong was in line with the position of the little girl with the sword on his back at this time.
Lin Xingyu tilted his head and looked at Wu Yixiu, hoping that Wu Yixiu would help solve the siege.
Wu Yixiu doesn't squint, he only cares about eating his own food, and he doesn't participate in this matter.
"It's a very profound question, give me a little time to study it. ”
"Okay, then you eat first, anyway, no matter how you study, the sword is powerful. ”
"No, the gun is powerful. ”
"The sword is powerful. ”
"The gun is powerful. ”
Lin Xingyu sat on the side and listened to the endless arguments between the two, while thinking about what needed to be done next.
'The most important thing at the moment is to hear the news of Ma Boran, Qin Shuyu only gave me three months, and now it has been nearly a month, and there is no progress.
Then I sent Xu Qianwei's cardinal box, I forgot to ask when Brother Wen was there yesterday, he is so familiar with the environment of Kyoto City, it's good to let him help me carry it, but it's a pity that he has to protect the formation for forty-nine days now, and it seems that he has to ask someone else.
Then I went to find my master's friend Huang Chenkui, I don't know if I can solve the problem of my Xuan Qi cultivation, even if I have a little eyebrows, it's a good thing.
Also, when buying news, you should ask about Master's injuries and blood-soaked methods if you have the opportunity, anyway, they are all bought, and it is best to solve them together by the way.
There must be a lot of butterflies in Kyoto City, and it would be nice if they could catch one or two, and I don't know if I could ask for any news related to my mother's death.
I don't know why when I soak in the potion, the Xuan Qi can break through, is it because the medicinal power enters the Xuan Qi? Or do I need blood? Am I the reincarnation of an evil demon? I must use human blood to practice?'
Thinking of this, Lin Xingyu quickly shook his head and drove unrealistic ideas out of his mind.
Since it's all about buying news, let's go out and take care of it by the way.
"Have you heard?" Two diners sat down at the table next to Lin Xingyu, talking in a low voice, and the voice was just heard by Lin Xingyu.
"What?"
"The Giant Sword Hall got a huge cold iron stone a few days ago, and it is said that the cold iron stone is so big that it takes a carriage of eight horses to pull it!"
"So heavy?"
"No, and that piece of cold iron is a very precious and very rare flying stone, and it seems that there will be a divine weapon in the world again. ”
"The Giant Sword Hall is really lucky......."
Hearing this, Lin Xingyu's brows furrowed, and his heart was full of questions, "Cold Iron Xuanshi?" didn't they say that I didn't get it because of my master and my master when I was in the Giant Sword Hall of Jianan County? ’
Qin Shuyu obviously heard it too, her eyebrows were lowered at the moment, and others couldn't see what her expression was.
"Are you done eating? Let's go. Lin Xingyu opened his mouth to ask everyone.
"Let's go!" Gu Zhenhong was the first to stand up.
Lin Xingyu took out an ingot of gold to settle the house and meal money, and the rest of the wealth was used as a deposit.
Several people followed Lin Xingyu out of Yunxi Tower, and the bright sun outside covered up the cold of winter.
"Go to Wenshenglou! Now my brother is also a rich man!" Lin Xingyu grabbed the money bag with one hand and held it diagonally in front of him.
"Let's go!" Gu Zhenhong raised his arms enthusiastically and shouted.
"Let's go!" The little girl with the sword on her back seemed to be infected by Gu Zhenhong's emotions, and she also learned to raise her arms and shout.
Wu Yixiu knew the location of Wensheng Building and led the way in front.
"Brother Gu, what is your wish?" Lin Xingyu and Gu Zhenhong walked side by side.
"My wish is to practice the best gun skills in the world!" Gu Zhenhong replied loudly with the spear on his back, not caring at all about the eyes of passers-by.
"This is too difficult to achieve, so is there anything you want to get?" Lin Xingyu scratched his head, feeling that Gu Zhenhong's wish he couldn't help.
"Something?" Gu Zhenhong reached behind his back and touched the black gun, "In the early years, I always wanted to get the Yunxiao Ancient Gun, but now, this barren gun has been with me for many years, and I am used to it, so I don't want to change it, at most I can reforge it." ”
"Then I'll help you forge it when the time comes!" Lin Xingyu was eager to try.
"Oh, what about Brother Lin's forging skills?"
"A little bit, stay in the Greatsword Hall for a while. ”
"That's okay, I'll have to ask my brother to help me then. Gu Zhenhong said boldly.
A few people through a few long streets, all the way to the west city, the building of the west city and the north city are very different, the west city can be seen everywhere gate compound, high walls stand in a forest, the closer to the imperial city the more magnificent, the number of people on the street of the west city is a lot more than the north city, the dress is also much better.
Continuing westward, there were more and more pedestrians, most of them smiling, whether passers-by or merchants, and even beggars dressed and smiling as they knelt on the ground begging.
It seems that the people here are doing well. Lin Xingyu observed the state of the people.
It wasn't until the Kyoto City Gate came into view that Wu Yixiu stopped and turned around to wait for everyone.
Lin Xingyu walked up to Wu Yixiu. I saw a two-story small building in front of me, gray walls and gray tiles, the size is only less than half of the Yunxi Building, the gate looks a little shabby, dirty, as for the plaque is even more strange, the plaque is hung in the center of the second floor, a big smell word accounts for two-thirds of the plaque, a small sound word below, as for the building word can not be found on the plaque at all.
"This is Wensheng Building?" Lin Xingyu asked as he looked at this humble restaurant fox.
Wu Yixiu saw that everyone had arrived, and walked inward, without answering Lin Xingyu's question.
Everyone rushed in, and there was no shopkeeper to receive them, and there were only ten simple tables on the first floor of the building, scattered and placed, it looked like it had been many years, Lin Xingyu looked at the crumbling table, worried that Gu Zhenhong would collapse if he put his hand on it.
There were only two tables of diners on the first floor, dressed modestly, each ordering a side dish or two, boasting to each other, and drinking with red faces.
Wu Yixiu led everyone directly to the second floor, there were eight boxes on the second floor, each box door was heavy and thick rosewood, and the faint wood fragrance in the corridor was pleasant.
Wu Yixiu walked to the innermost room, pushed open the door, the small window let in a little sunlight, the room looked a little dim, a table of eight immortals was placed in the middle, four benches were in the square, a teapot was placed on the table, and eight teacups were in a circle.
Wu Yixiu motioned for everyone to sit down at the table, and after Lin Xingyu and the others sat down, a person dressed as a junior pushed the door in, with a clean rag on his shoulder, his body was steady, his footwork was light, he carried a pot of boiling water, walked to the table, made tea, and walked out backwards.
At the moment when the shopkeeper closed the door, Wu Yixiu whispered: "The sound of rain falling on the empty mountain is like a cloud of smoke"
The door slammed shut and there was no more sound.
After waiting for a while, Wu Yixiu poured a few cups of tea, and the fragrance of tea filled the air and came to his nose.
Gu Zhenhong drank it in one gulp, regardless of whether it was hot or cold, Lin Xingyu knew that it was good tea, and he drank it dry in one gulp, because he didn't understand the tea ceremony, it was purely to quench his thirst.
Qin Shuyu didn't touch the teacup, and the little girl with the sword on her back kept blowing on the teacup.
After everyone sat for half a burnt of incense, the door was pushed open again, and a man came in under a black cloth, with only two holes dug in his eyes.
"What do you want to ask?" the voice of the man shrouded in black cloth was hollow and cold, not like the human world.
There was a long silence.
"First thing, where is Ma Boran, the apprentice of the poisonous Wu Yixiu, appearing?" Lin Xingyu was the first to speak, "Second thing, why did Zhao Xiyao, Lin Xingyu's mother in Heluo City, die? Third, where are the remnants of the Qianyuan Sword? Fourth, how to solve the side effects of the Blood Immersion Method? Fifth, where did the Cold Iron Xuanshi that the Giant Sword Hall recently obtained come from? How did it come from?" Lin Xingyu was the first to speak, saying all the questions he wanted to ask.
"So many questions, do you know the cost?"
"Uh, didn't you buy it with money?"
"Wenshenglou news is divided into four classes, the third-class news is exchanged for money, the second-class news is exchanged for goods, and the first-class news is exchanged for life. ”
"What's the other thing?"
"Top secret information can never be hidden. You are waiting here for the time being. The man shrouded in a black cloth exited the room.
After a cup of tea, the man shrouded in a black cloth reappeared in the room.
"The first, third, fourth, and fifth are all third-class news, and each message is a hundred taels of gold. "The voice of the person shrouded in black cloth is still empty and cold" The second thing is top-secret news, and there is no comment. ”
Lin Xingyu stayed for a moment, sighed, didn't expect his mother's death to be top secret, shook his head lightly, and smiled as if self-deprecating.
"Okay, then buy four messages. Lin Xingyu took out the gold in the bag and began to count.
"Twenty taels, forty taels, sixty quantities...... Three hundred and eighty taels, I'll go! It cost twenty taels just now. Lin Xingyu shouted sullenly.
"Who still has money, who still has money!" Lin Xingyu looked around and glanced at everyone.
Wu Yixiu spread his hands and said no, Qin Shuyu sat there without moving, Gu Zhenhong was happy, took out a few ingots of silver, and together it was not enough, and the little girl with the sword on her back looked pitifully and handed him the sword behind her back.
"It seems that there are only three messages to buy, which one to give up?" Lin Xingyu muttered to himself, his eyes sweeping over everyone.
"I want to know the whereabouts of Ma Boran and how to solve the side effects of the bloodbathing method...... The last one is where did the cold iron Xuanshi of the Giant Sword Hall come from?" Lin Xingyu said after thinking about it carefully, and put three hundred taels of gold on the table.
The man shrouded in a black cloth did not take the money and exited the room. Immediately afterwards, the shopkeeper came in with a plate, on which were stacked with three bamboo tubes and an oil lamp, and they were placed on the table and retreated, and the bamboo tubes were engraved with numbers, all of which began with three.
Lin Xingyu couldn't wait to pry open a bamboo tube, pull out the paper roll inside, and slowly unfold it, Gu Zhenhong and the little girl with the sword on their backs curiously stepped forward to watch.
The note read, 'Ma Boran, age twenty-eight, a native of Nanfeng, a disciple of Wu Yixiu, now lives in Ziyun Villa outside Quanyang City. ’
