The sword rises

Chapter 17 The Small Restaurant in Dust Town

No.17 The Small Restaurant in Dust Town

Chensha Town is thousands of miles away from the capital of Tianfeng Kingdom. It used to be a relatively prosperous area, but because of the spread of sword energy from the Sword Market, the people in the town left here one after another.

Few people live in the town now. A young man wearing a black robe and hiding his face is walking in the streets of the town, which is particularly prominent.Naturally, this person was Gu Hengsheng.

Gu Hengsheng got his father's approval, so naturally he didn't waste any time, and then left the capital quietly.

After several days of rushing, Gu Hengsheng came to Chensha Town, which is the closest to the Three Thousand Miles Sword Market.

In order to conceal his appearance and identity, Gu Hengsheng wore a loose black robe, and his aura was extremely gloomy.

"It's just that in Chensha Town, which is close to the Sword Market, you can clearly feel the sharpness of the sword energy." Gu Hengsheng looked around vigilantly at the deserted streets, and murmured to himself: "It is rumored that the sword repaired a sword. If he can swing the sword energy for three thousand miles, I'm afraid...he may not only touch the Sky Profound Realm, but even step into the Sky Profound Realm."

With Gu Hengsheng's previous cultivation base and character, he couldn't help frowning in the face of this overwhelming suppressed sword energy.

After walking for a while, Gu Hengsheng stopped walking, because there was smoke rising from a restaurant in front of him.Regarding this, Gu Hengsheng turned his eyes curiously: "It's a bit strange that there is a tavern in a place like Chensha Town, which is rarely populated by people."

Seeing that the sky was gradually getting darker, Gu Hengsheng felt a little tired from his busy journey.

So, Gu Hengsheng pondered vigilantly for a while, then stepped into the gate of the restaurant, not rushing forward.

When Gu Hengsheng stepped into the restaurant, he saw three or five loose wooden tables and an old man with white hair.

The old man was wearing a rough linen dress, his face was loose and wrinkled, his messy hair was no longer black, and his slightly sunken pupils made people feel a little palpitating.

The entire lobby of the restaurant seemed to be the only old man, a bit bleak.

However, what surprised Gu Hengsheng was not that there was no one in the restaurant, but that the old man was doing a strange thing - he was holding a piece of [-] cm wide black iron and was constantly polishing it.

The sound of grinding again and again came to Gu Hengsheng's ears one after another, making him tense involuntarily.

"Grandpa, there are guests here, why are you still standing there? Really."

At this moment, accompanied by a clear voice, a girl rushed out from the backyard of the restaurant.

Hearing the sound, the old man was not moved at all, and continued to nest in the corner of the restaurant without raising his head, quietly polishing a piece of heavy iron in his hand.As if everything in this world has nothing to do with him, only the black iron in his hand.

The girl's face is yellowish, and her facial features are not exquisite, but she has an indescribable temperament that cannot be underestimated.

"My lord, what do you need?" The girl was wearing a pale white cloth, and she hurriedly walked towards Gu Hengsheng, and said with a slight smile.

Gu Hengsheng looked at the strange old man and the girl in front of him calmly, and said with a stern face, "Just serve some wine and food, and I want to stay overnight, I wonder if it is possible?"

"Of course, my son, wait a moment, I'll go and prepare some food and drinks for you, and help you clean a first-class guest room." The girl quickly responded with a chuckle, her ethereal eyes narrowed slightly.

Gu Hengsheng nodded, and slowly sat down beside a table and chair.

Together and sinking, the old man seemed to have entered a state of ecstasy, and the rhythm of polishing the sinking iron in his hands carried an indescribable charm.Gu Hengsheng couldn't see through this, but quietly watched the old man's every move.

After a while, the girl quickly brought some food and wine, interrupting Gu Hengsheng's mood of watching the old man sharpen the iron: "Young master, you have to worry about the food and wine in the vulgar place, so take it easy."

"Thank you, girl." Gu Hengsheng nodded slightly while maintaining his stern expression.

With Gu Hengsheng's vast knowledge, he naturally knew that the food and drink were clean, so he began to eat slowly with more peace of mind.

Soon, the sky gradually dimmed, and the girl from the restaurant had already vacated a clean guest room to invite Gu Hengsheng in.

Of course, Gu Hengsheng didn't know how to eat the overlord's meal, so he directly gave the girl ten taels of silver, which made the girl even happier, and the smile on the corner of her mouth almost reached her eyebrows.

After receiving the money, the girl talked a lot with Gu Hengsheng very enthusiastically.

Naturally, Gu Hengsheng also learned the girl's name.Wen Ruomei was the name of the girl from the restaurant, and the old man grinding the iron was Wen Ruomei's grandfather.According to Wen Ruomei, she and her grandfather depended on each other for life. Ten years ago, when they were living in Chensha Town, they organized the restaurant to make a living.

Although few people have settled down in Dust Town, there are still people who frequent it.After all, Dust Town is the closest to the Sword Market, and many people are eager to get some opportunities from the Sword Market.

Therefore, Wen Ruomei opened this small restaurant in Chensha Town, and the occasional small sum of money was enough to fill her and grandpa's stomachs.

After chatting casually for a few words, Gu Hengsheng lost much interest, turned around and stepped into the guest room, closing the doors and windows.

"This place...is really interesting." Gu Hengsheng sat cross-legged on the bed, a deep smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he began to draw energy into his veins, preparing to make preparations before stepping into the sword market.

With each breath, the profound energy slowly flowed to all parts of the body along with Gu Hengsheng's meridians.

Slowly, Gu Hengsheng's momentum became stronger and stronger.

boom!
A muffled hum that could only be heard by Gu Hengsheng himself sounded, and Gu Hengsheng's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he let out a long breath: "It has been settled for a while, and finally we have re-entered the middle stage of the Human Profound Realm."

Gu Hengsheng clenched his fists, feeling that his strength had increased several times compared to before, and he was more confident to go to the Sword Market.

There was nothing to say all night, and it was extremely quiet.

As the sky dimly opened his eyes, Gu Hengsheng came downstairs and greeted Wen Ruomei: "Miss Wen, thank you for your hospitality yesterday."

Seeing Gu Hengsheng walking towards the door step by step, Wen Ruomei blinked her ethereal eyes, and said with a light smile: "Master, go slowly, if there is a chance, please come and take care of the business of the small shop."

Gu Hengsheng nodded slightly in response, and then stepped out of the restaurant door, leaving behind a black and elongated aloof and stern back.

When Gu Hengsheng just stepped out of the door, the old man in the corner who was still polishing the black iron with his head bowed in silence slowly raised his head and glanced at Gu Hengsheng's back.

The old man's empty and dead eyes only briefly glanced at Gu Hengsheng's back, then lowered them again, and then continued to polish the black iron in his hand.
