That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 465

Bathed in the morning light, Xu Beiyou walked out of Shendu City with the sword box on his back, and embarked on the journey again.

Although there is only one city in Shendu, its jurisdiction covers half a state. If you go out of the scope of Shendu, you will leave the territory of Yuzhou. Xu Beiyou can enter the jurisdiction of Zhongdu as long as he goes upstream along the Luo River.

Xu Beiyou changed into plain clothes, bought a new bamboo hat, and tied up his white hair to hide it. If he wore a plain knife around his waist, it would look like a swordsman from the Northwest.

Since Yuzhou is known as the center of the world, there are naturally no high mountains and mountains, and Xu Beiyou traveled all the way. It is not possible to talk about a thousand miles in a day, but the speed is slightly faster than ordinary people. He can walk more than a hundred miles a day. As the distance from Shanzhou gets closer As it got closer, Xu Beiyou could faintly feel the faint "dryness" between the heaven and the earth.

The land is the same as people, and has its own "Qi". Once a great monk who was good at predicting Qi commented on Jiangdu, saying that "traffickers and pawns all have smoke and water." This is the "Qi" of Jiangdu, which is similar to Jiangnan. For example, the Northwest does not have the soft and moist air of smoke and water, but the rough and dry air of wind and sand, which makes Xu Beiyou, who has been in the south of the Yangtze River for two years, feel both familiar and strange.

At the same time, Xu Beiyou is still absorbing the sword spirit of Baihong Yijian. Xu Beiyou won two battles successively, but his own realm is not stable, so he is not in a hurry this way. Before Shanzhou completely refined Baihong Sword.

At dusk, Xu Beiyou came to a small shop in the wilderness that was converted from an abandoned post station. The proprietress was a middle-aged woman with an enchanting figure, her face was slightly powdered and her face was charming and natural.

When she saw Xu Beiyou enter the door, she immediately came out from behind the counter, showing a mature woman's demeanor as she walked, and said with a coquettish smile, "This guest officer wants to stay in the store? Don't think our store is small, but it's bigger than the store." Qiguan’s inn is not too bad, I guarantee you will be satisfied, Keguan!”

Xu Beiyou hummed lightly, and looked around the small shop.

Different from those inns in the city, there is only one floor, with meals in the front and accommodation in the back. There are seven or eight tables in the room. At this time, there are three tables of people eating here, one of which is four men dressed as swordsmen, and four people surround the table Sitting while sitting, all of them had gloomy faces, and leaned against the table with four simple knives wrapped in cotton cloth. Like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity.

At the other table were two strong men who made no secret of their aura of gangsters. Two ghost-headed knives without scabbards were placed on the table with arrogance.

As for the last table, it was a beautiful woman with black hair tied up in a high bun, with a huge ruby ​​forehead ornament on her forehead, wearing a light pink long dress and a white gauze, Her breasts are half exposed when she raises her hands and feet, which is extremely seductive, especially her pair of autumn water-like pupils, which are naturally charming and seductive with every frown and smile.From Xu Beiyou's point of view, even though this woman's appearance is slightly lacking, her charming manner has a different flavor.

Such a coquettish woman dared to walk outside alone, most likely because of all her strengths, she might be a female monk from some sect.

Xu Beiyou found a corner and sat down, and asked the proprietress for some food and drinks, not intending to provoke disputes.

Not long after, the door of the small inn was pushed open again, and a handsome and unrestrained young man in black robe walked into the inn.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on the black-robed young man.

Especially those four swordsmen, looking straight at the black-robed young man, their gazes were like knives, like four starving ghosts who have seen a living person.

But the young man in black just glanced at them lightly, then ignored them, and strode towards the counter.

After the four swordsmen made eye contact for a moment, when the young man in black passed by their table, a man as thin as a bamboo pole suddenly stood up, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said coldly: "My friend, wait a minute."

Before the young man in black could speak, the proprietress had already stepped forward with a light smile and said, "Boss Chen, all the people who come to my store are customers, what are you doing?"

The man called Boss Chen by the proprietress was slightly displeased: "Miss proprietress, you just do your own business well, it's better not to take care of what you shouldn't."

The boy in black smiled and said: "The lady boss's kindness is appreciated, but since this good man has something to ask me, I think it's better for me to talk to him."

The proprietress took a look at the young man in black, and sighed slightly, as if sighing at his ignorance, she didn't say anything more, and stepped aside.

At this time, another short and fat man stood up, looked at the young man in black and said disapprovingly: "Boss is talking nonsense with this kid, just ask him to hand over his things."

The young man in black narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh? I don't know what I have on my body that can make a few good guys look up to me."

The short and fat man sneered and said, "You motherfucker, pretend to be ignorant for me. The four of my brother and I have been waiting for you here for three days, just because of that thing on your body!"

"Don't be unreasonable!" Boss Chen reprimanded, then looked at the young man in black, clasped his hands together, and said in a slow voice: "I heard that young master has a fairy medicine from Qi Shan, which can help people break through the realm. To tell you the truth, I am already trapped In the current state of ghosts and immortals for nearly ten years, I came here this time to borrow this thing from the young master. If the young master does not give up, it will be regarded as making this friend. If the young master has any orders in the future, I will wait for the four brothers People have nothing to say."

The young man in black was slightly startled, and then asked: "Where did you know that there will be the so-called Qishan Immortal Medicine on your body?"

The short and fat man said impatiently: "Where are there so many jitters? Who doesn't know that there is a fairy medicine in Qishan? You came out of Qishan not long ago. Do you really think we are fools? Hurry up and hand over the things. Dare to say half a word, be careful that I will not let you get out of this gate!"

The young man in black smiled, clasped the jade belt around his waist with one hand, and said calmly, without any sign of panic, "I have Qishan's elixir, but just the four of you want to snatch it from me, Huo Xichen." Things, you might look down on the word Huo Xishen too much, right?"

Boss Chen's face suddenly darkened.The other two men couldn't sit still any longer, they stood up suddenly, holding the simple knives wrapped in cotton cloth.

"Little bastard, don't think that your surname is Huo. I heard that your mother was killed by your father, and you were kicked out of the house by your father. This time, I went back with Qishan Xianyao to make your father recognize you again." If you are a son, it is better to hand over the Qishan elixir, I happen to have no son, let me be you..."

Before the man finished speaking, the black-clothed man had already bulged up, grabbed his throat, twisted his neck lightly, and threw it aside.

The young man in black glanced at the remaining three people coldly, and said indifferently: "Qishan immortal medicine is hard to come by, what are you guys, can you add up to a piece of medicine dregs?"

Seeing this scene, Xu Beiyou who was sitting in the corner felt a little embarrassed. He had heard of fights over pills and treasures before, but it was the first time he had encountered them personally.

Xu Beiyou whispered to himself, "Is this the arena of ordinary monks?"
