Yipin Danxian

Chapter 7 Different Ways
Seeing Wu Sheng, Zou Qi scratched his head, and said apologetically: "My mother-in-law has such a temper, and she is also timid. She is always afraid that something will happen to me, brother, don't take it to heart."

Wu Sheng comforted: "Whatever she said, she was doing it for your own good."

Zou Qi shook his head, and said again: "I heard that my brother did a big business outside, went straight to Yingdu, and assassinated Shangqing of Chu State with a single sword, really..." As he said, his eyes showed fascination.

Wu Sheng smiled: "What Shangqing, it's just Le Yin who hasn't refined the god yet."

Zou Qi said: "That's not what you said, but it's really amazing that you were able to retreat in front of the judge Sun Jiezi and many guards!"

Wu Sheng said: "I still envy you. You are a beautiful wife and companion, and you have both children. My path is difficult."

After another moment of silence, Zou Qi said: "Brother, don't go home, let's go further away... Not only the masters from the Shishifu, but even people from Jixia Academy came to me to inquire about my brother's whereabouts. "

"Jixia Academy?" Wu Sheng suddenly realized that the two black-clothed monks he saw last night were probably the rumored Jixia Academy walking?

Jixia Academy is located in Linzi, Qi State. It is a sacred place in the hearts of practitioners all over the world. It is said that it is the place where the world communicates with immortals and gods.What does the assassination of Zhaoshe himself have to do with Jixia Academy?I am not a demon, let alone a monster, and I am not included in their suppression. They don't care about worldly affairs, let alone assassins and thieves!

Zou Qi shook his head and explained again: "That's why my mother-in-law is scared. She doesn't mean anything to my brother... In short, my brother should go far away to avoid the limelight. I prepared some wine and vegetables for him on the way. Drive out the cold."

As he spoke, he threw the package over his shoulders, cupped his hands, and strode away.

Wu Sheng took it and opened the package after Zou Qi's back disappeared on the mountain ridge. Inside was a wine gourd, a large bag of steaming cooked meat, and hundreds of ant nose money, which were weighed heavily on the Under the package.After the package was opened, it was a thick cloth cloak with dense stitching, which could keep out the wind in the wild at night.

Opening the gourd, the aroma of the wine was tangy, Wu Sheng took a sip into his mouth, warmth rose from his stomach, and his eyes suddenly blurred.

But hearing the sound of footsteps, Zou Qi appeared on the mountain ridge again, but he didn't come down, he just said from a distance: "Brother, I almost forgot, there is a man named Jin Wuhuan, who came to you last month and said that he promised ten years , I didn’t tell him anything. This man is carrying a copper rod, and there is a green snake coiled around his waist, which is easy to identify, brother must pay attention.”

Wu Sheng was shocked immediately, and hurriedly asked, "Where did he go?"

Zou Qi shook his head: "I don't know, I went to the Luming Stream."

Wu Sheng asked: "How long have you been away?"

Zou Qi thought for a while and said, "There will always be seventeen or eight days."

Luming Stream is in the northwest direction. Starting from Lutai, there is a mountain road leading to it, and it takes a day to walk there.

Wu Sheng was on his way, eating meat and drinking, with something in his stomach, he felt all his strength returned, and he didn't feel cold at all, let alone tired.

This is my hope of practicing again, I have to catch up quickly, but I don't know if I can still catch up.

There is a village on the side of Lumingjian. There are six families. They are neither assassins nor thieves. They all collect stolen goods.Wu Sheng is familiar with them and has sold stolen goods with them, but it is far from friendship.

If it was just to deal with the Chu State Shishifu, Wu Sheng could openly show up and ask them about Jin Wuhuan's whereabouts. There is no risk if these people don't deal with the government.But with the walkers from Jixia Academy intervening, it's hard to say. Under the prestige of Walkers from the Academy, their character cannot be guaranteed.

So Wu Sheng didn't dare to show his face, but hid in the woods outside the village, waiting for the right time.

In the evening, the opportunity presented itself.

A ten-year-old girl jumped into the woods, carrying a bamboo basket, picking up dead branches on the snow.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Sheng grabbed the slush and applied it to his face, then spread out his hair before stepping out.This girl is the daughter of the Lu family in Lumingjian, called Erya, don't be recognized by her.

Wu Sheng's sudden appearance startled Lu Erya, she couldn't help but backed up a few steps, a dagger about a foot long slipped out of her sleeve, with a shake of her hand, a cold light flashed, and the dagger flew towards Wu Sheng .

Wu Sheng was bending down to talk to her, when the dagger flew past his bun, and cut off a small tree behind him with a "swish".

Wu Sheng didn't have time to react at all, his body froze in place, and he was covered in cold sweat.

almost got killed...

The little girl missed her sword and backed up a few steps in shock. Seeing that she was about to scream, Wu Sheng hurriedly suppressed her voice to threaten: "Girl, if you dare to call me, I will kill you!"

Lu Erya immediately covered her mouth with her hands, so Wu Sheng was very satisfied, and said in a low voice: "As long as you answer me a question, I will let you go, and I don't blame you for shooting me with a sword. How about it?"

Seeing Lu Erya nodded, Wu Sheng began to ask: "I'm asking you about someone. There is a man who wields a copper stick. He came to Luming Stream about half a month ago. Have you ever seen it? He still has a green snake coiled around his waist. For the belt."

Lu Erya blinked, looked at Wu Sheng, and nodded: "Yes."

Wu Sheng was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Where did he go?"

Lu Erya pointed to the north: "He went to Suoyun Road. He lived with Uncle Niu's house for three days, gave him a lot of money, wandered around the mountains all day, looking for you everywhere, so we didn't tell him!"

Wu Sheng was a little embarrassed: "Ah, did you recognize me? Hmm..."

Lu Erya blinked her eyes: "That strange man is looking for you everywhere, and you are looking for him again. Who are you, Uncle Wu?"

Suddenly, he clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Uncle Wu, I heard that you have done great things in Yingdu. I can't stop you, it's like entering the land of no one..."

Seeing the adoration on the little girl's face, Wu Sheng coughed dryly: "It's not that exaggerated, it's not that exaggerated, so I'm leaving, don't tell people that I've been here, this is a secret between us, okay? "

The little girl was very regretful: "Will Uncle Wu go to him to fight swords? Oh, it's a pity that mother and father won't let me leave home..."

Wu Sheng smiled: "Learn swords hard. You are just ten years old, and you have already entered the practice. The light of the sword is faintly visible. It is clear that you have a deep degree in the refining environment. It is really rare. If you go to the Shishifu in Yingdu If you apply, you should have a place among the guards."

Lu Erya pouted: "I don't want to be a guard, I want to fight the sword like Uncle Wu!"

Wu Sheng applauded: "Good ambition!"

Turning around to leave, but was pestered by Lu Erya: "Uncle Wu, after I finish my studies in the future, can I compete with you for a sword fight?"

"Ten years later, I'll wait for you to come to me! Remember, don't tell it, it's a secret..." Wu Sheng perfunctory, quickened his pace, and rushed to Suoyun Road.

Lu Erya stayed where she was and was very happy, thinking back to Wu Sheng's ability to dodge his flying sword just now, and how well he grasped the measure was so wonderful, he couldn't help admiring it even more.
