The days when I opened a tavern in Zongwu

Chapter 107: With this sword in hand, all the weeds in a hundred miles are covered with eyebrows

As Huang Rong took the wooden stick into his hand, Li Changqing's aura suddenly changed.

The faint sharpness began to escape from itself, the original laziness disappeared, and instead became incomparably sharp.

It was as if what Li Changqing was holding in his right hand was not a wooden stick, but a divine sword that could make Li Changqing stand on top of the world.

It was a feeling of confidence and scorn.

The sudden change in temperament made Huang Rong stunned for a moment, and then her heart trembled.

The first thing that came to mind was that the Lord Green Snake was lurking around and was discovered by Li Changqing.

Thinking of this, the muscles in Huang Rong's body couldn't help but collapse tightly, and the zhenqi in her body also circulated rapidly at this moment, getting ready to go.

At this moment, the long sword in Li Changqing's right hand, no, the wooden stick in his hand moved.

As he took a step forward and exerted force on his waist, Li Changqing quickly raised the wooden stick in his hand from bottom to top and then swung it out quickly.

"call!"

"Sand~"

Along with a sharp sound breaking through the air, the wooden stick wrapped in internal force flew to the extreme. The seven-foot-high weeds and scattered golden rapeseed flowers on the roadside suddenly split into two under the wooden stick.

"Hiding here?"

Faced with Li Changqing's actions, Huang Rong's eyes narrowed, and her true energy had already been injected into her legs, and there were strong signs that she would immediately retreat with Li Changqing in the next second.

However, at this moment, a voice full of disdain and satisfaction slowly came from Li Changqing's mouth.

"With this sword in hand, a hundred miles of weeds will make you lower your eyebrows. It's a good sword."

After finishing his words, Li Changqing turned around again and swung his wooden stick to sweep away another patch of weeds.

Huang Rong didn't react until Li Changqing swung his third sword.

Huang Rong: "."

Looking at Li Changqing, who was dressed in white and wielding a wooden stick, Huang Rong almost lost her breath.

After holding her chest to calm down for a while, Huang Rong finally spoke out.

"What are you doing?"

The voice was filled with deep resentment.

This time he came out as a bait to lure the Lord Jade Snake. Huang Rong was already nervous now, but Li Changqing could just use a wooden stick to chop weeds here.

He is such a big man, is he childish?

Moreover, Huang Rong couldn't figure out how Li Changqing showed such an aura of looking down on the world with just a wooden stick?

Listening to Huang Rong's words next to him, Li Changqing said quietly: "I couldn't hold it back for a while."

While talking, Li Changqing raised the wooden stick in his hand and swung it again.

Seeing the straight wooden stick sweeping across the level weeds, and feeling the "destroying" feeling coming from the stick, Li Changqing couldn't help but let out a "huh" in his heart, feeling extremely satisfied.

Huang Rong said angrily: "You are such an adult, and you are still waving a stick around like a child. How childish is that?"

Li Changqing said casually: "You don't understand, this is a romance unique to men."

Li Changqing didn't know this life, but in the previous life, every young man's dream was definitely not a car or a house.

Even women are no match for this "peerless sword" found in the mountains.

Unfortunately.

The wormwood in the village is as high as the sky, and the swordsman is very young.

"How about we find a time when the weather is nice and take Miss Yue and Miss Xuemei out for an outing and have a picnic?"

The thought came to mind, and Li Changqing swung out the wooden stick in his hand, making another "swish" sound.

A smile of satisfaction appeared on his face again.

At the same time, Huang Xuemei and Yao Yue, each occupying a position in the distance, couldn't help but feel a little smile in their hearts when they heard Li Changqing's voice and waving sticks in the distance while circulating their Qi.

It can be said that Li Changqing is lazy, but when Li Changqing is in trouble, his mind turns extremely fast and his actions are particularly calm.

When encountering anything, it can give people a sense of calmness and confidence.

But sometimes, Li Changqing would be mixed with some childishness.

Whether he was fooling around with Huang Rong or now holding a wooden stick against a bunch of weeds and showing the demeanor of a peerless swordsman, it made people feel a little bit ridiculous, but at the same time it felt interesting.

Then, the two women's attention turned to the figure following Li Changqing and Huang Rong from a distance, and their eyes instantly became a little colder.

A moment later, after walking nearly a mile again, Li Changqing suddenly stopped.

"Okay, it's almost time to turn back."

Hearing Li Changqing's words, Huang Rong couldn't help turning her head in shock.

"Go back now."

Li Changqing nodded and said, "You will understand in a moment."

After responding to Huang Rong, Li Changqing turned around and headed back the way he came.

"I just know how to play riddles."

After making a face and muttering to Li Changqing's back, Huang Rong casually picked a wild flower and walked quickly to follow Li Changqing.

However, as the two of them turned around and walked nearly a hundred steps, they met an old man carrying two baskets of oranges.

The old man wore a hat and a coir raincoat woven with some withered grass on his shoulders.

But even though he was wearing thick clothes, he didn't look bloated at all. It was hard to imagine how thin his body was under the clothes.

When walking, the old man also took a few steps and paused, which seemed extremely strenuous.

Although the western part of Hanshan City is sparsely populated, there are also many farmers and fruit growers who rely on the mountains to eat.

If it had been anyone else, they probably wouldn't have thought much about this old man carrying tangerines outside the city west.

But such people do not include Huang Rong.

When her eyes swept over the old man, Huang Rong felt a little more wary.

They had not seen the old man when they left the city before.

This place is nearly five miles away from Hanshan City.

But the old man in front of him took a few steps and paused, his steps were much slower than them.

According to the old man's current walking speed, one stick of incense can only cover two or three miles at most.

If they had gone back two or three miles now, they might still be able to meet the old man.

But now they met the old man just a hundred steps back, which was completely wrong in terms of footwork.

Thinking about it, Huang Rong's shoulder lightly bumped into Li Changqing's body.

As if he knew what Huang Rong was thinking, Li Changqing said softly as he walked: "Probably not."

Listening to Li Changqing's words, Huang Rong couldn't help but be startled.

"no?"

But after getting along with him for a month, Huang Rong also knew how smart Li Changqing was.

So I am also curious as to why Li Changqing is so sure that this old man is not the Jade Snake Lord.

But in response to Huang Rong's doubts, Li Changqing just shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Huang Rong could only suppress the doubts in her heart and continue moving forward with Li Changqing.

"Sir, do you want to buy tangerines? I just picked them today. They are juicy, sweet and meaty. They cost three cents a pound."

Seeing the two people approaching, the old man carrying the pole also raised his head, with a simple smile on his face that was already covered with age spots.

Huang Rong took a look inside the bamboo basket.

Although the tangerines inside are not particularly big, they are all orange-red in color, and the attached branches and leaves are all emerald green, making them look like they were freshly picked.

But when she went out, Huang Rong didn't have the habit of buying other people's things casually, so she would politely refuse immediately.

However, before Huang Rong could speak, Li Changqing smiled and nodded: "Okay! I happen to be thirsty, can I pick it myself?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you can choose."

As he spoke, the old man squatted down and let the two baskets of tangerines fall on the ground, taking the burden off his shoulders.

As Li Changqing walked up to the old man and squatted down to start picking citrus, Huang Rong's eyes were on the old man suspiciously.

Seeing the old man's simple look, Huang Rong became even more confused.

"Am I overthinking it?"

After thinking for a moment, Huang Rong asked, "Where are you going with these two baskets of oranges?"

In Huang Rong's opinion, if the old man did not come out of the city, he could only have come down from the nearby mountain on the way? "

But here comes the question, if the fruit farmers coming down from the mountain carry these two baskets of citrus instead of going to Hanshan City to sell them, why go outside the city?

Facing Huang Rong's question, the old man smiled and said: "Five miles southwest of here, there is a village that is engaged in the city's wine making business. At this time of year, citrus are needed to make fruit wine, so the little old man will carry these citrus. past."

"Is it for brewing?" After hearing this, Huang Rong turned her head and glanced in the southwest direction.

"Girl, come and pick some of your own. The oranges from Xiao Lao'er are very sweet, otherwise the winery wouldn't use Xiao Lao'er's tangerines to make wine."

Hearing this, Huang Rong looked at Li Changqing first and saw that Li Changqing was really serious about picking citrus. Huang Rong also took a few steps forward and walked to another basket of citrus, squatted down and started picking.

At this time, Li Changqing threw one of the oranges to Huang Rong during the selection.

After holding it in his hand, he looked at the old man and said, "Since it is going to be sent to the winery, the old man is still selling citrus to us? What if it is not enough after a while?"

"It's okay. I have to deliver oranges these days. A few at a time is nothing. I'll just put more in the basket later."

While speaking, the old man glanced at Huang Rong and Li Changqing. Seeing them both starting to pick citrus, the smile on the old man's face couldn't help but grow wider.

"Sigh~"

However, just as Huang Rong was rummaging through the tangerines, an extremely subtle sound suddenly reached her ears.

The moment she heard the sound, Huang Rong identified the source of the sound.

It was clearly a sound that only snakes could make.

"Snake? Bilin snake?"

The moment she heard the sound, Huang Rong's mind flashed, and then she quickly turned her head and looked away.

But they saw two venomous green snakes crawling out of the haystacks and rushing toward the two of them.

Sensing something was wrong, Huang Rong felt a chill in her heart and looked directly at the old man in front of her.

Seeing Huang Rong suddenly raise her head to look at him, the old man's cloudy eyes flashed, he stepped on the ground with one foot, and jumped back quickly.

At the same time, three rays of energy quickly flashed through the air.

Two of them directly hit the two green snakes that had already stood up on the ground, smashing them into pieces.

The other one fell directly on the old man who was retreating quickly, causing him to let out a cry of pain and fly backwards into the weeds nearby at a faster speed.

The next moment, two figures appeared one after another from the air next to Li Changqing and Huang Rong, as if strangely fast.

It was Huang Xuemei and Yao Yue who had followed them all the way before.

Seeing this, Huang Rong, who had just been excited, immediately relaxed.

After standing firm on her feet, Yao Yue raised her right hand and flipped it gently.

Unique strength suddenly burst out from Yingyue's hand, pulling the body of the old man out of the haystack about a foot away and slamming it to the ground, causing the old man to vomit out a mouthful of blood again and completely lose his breath.

At this moment, Huang Rong suddenly caught a glimpse of green in the corner of her eyes.

Quickly turning his head to look, he saw two snake heads sticking out of the oranges in the bamboo basket.

"Be careful! There is also a Jade Lin Snake."

While speaking, Huang Rong quickly raised her hand and patted the bamboo basket.

As citrus fruits flew in the air, two green snakes originally hidden in bamboo baskets also appeared in the air.

However, as the two green snakes fell to the ground, they remained motionless.

"Eh? Dead?"

Seeing this, Huang Rong was startled for a moment, then quickly turned her head to look at Li Changqing.

"You did it?"

After getting up, Li Changqing said softly "Hmm" and said, "Otherwise, why would I be so stupid to get so close?"

At the end, Li Changqing looked at the old man lying on the ground in front of him and muttered: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have poisoned him. It would have been a waste."

The sound reached their ears, and several people quickly looked at the old man.

At this time, Yao Yue, Huang Xuemei and Huang Rong discovered that in addition to the normal dark red color of the blood spit out by the old man, there was also a hint of purple.

He was clearly poisoned.

Huang Rong asked: "So you have discovered that he has a problem a long time ago? Then why did you lie to me just now?"

Li Changqing said softly: "What I said is not true. I mean that he is not the Jade Snake Lord. It does not mean that he has no problems."

Huang Rong, Yao Yue, and Huang Xuemei were not surprised when they learned that the old man was not Lord Jade Snake God.

The internal energy fluctuations in the old man's body when he retreated just now clearly showed that the old man's cultivation level was only at the tenth level of the acquired world, which was far behind the Green Snake Lord at the early stage of the Grand Master Realm.

After glancing at the old man's body on the ground, Huang Rong asked, "So you just poisoned him and wanted to use him to hang the Jade Snake God out?"

Li Changqing shook his head.

"At first, we wanted to deliberately come forward and pretend to be poisoned by the snake venom he put on the citrus, and then let him take us to see Lord Jade Snake God."

Knowing that the tangerine was coated with snake venom, Huang Rong's expression changed and she quickly raised her hand.

But when he looked at his hands, they were still white and there was nothing wrong with them.

"Stop looking, I'll explain it to you."

Huang Rong blinked and recalled the situation just now in her mind.

Finally, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said with a sudden look on his face: "It turns out you just applied the antidote to the tangerine you gave me."

Suddenly, Yao Yue glanced at Huang Xuemei with cold eyes: "It's not enough to succeed, but it's more than enough to fail. Now everyone is dead, what should we do?"

Huang Xuemei frowned and said: "He is too weak, can you blame me?"

"Besides, I am helping you now. Are the people in Yihua Palace always biting Lu Dongbin like this?"

Yao Yue's eyes widened: "Do I need your help?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Li Changqing waved his hand and said, "Okay! His death was not because of Miss Xuemei, but because of the poison I administered."

Hearing this, Yao Yue suddenly thought of what Li Changqing had just said.

"You just said that you wanted to pretend to be poisoned at first. Why do you want to give such a poisonous drug directly now?"

Li Changqing said casually: "We had to pretend to be poisoned first so that he could take us to see Lord Jade Snake, but since Lord Jade Snake is already here, why are we still keeping him?"

As soon as these words came out, Yaoyue Sannu didn't know what Li Changqing meant.

Both Yao Yue and Huang Xuemei used their true energy to inject their ears to maximize their perception.

But after a few breaths, neither of them heard any strange noises around them.

In addition, the place where several people were at this time was even more overgrown.

In a place like this, unless someone is actively exposed, it will be difficult to search out even if someone is hiding.

Seeing this, Li Changqing picked up a few tangerines from the ground, rubbed them with his hands, and then wiped them on Huang Rong's clothes. With an unhappy look on Huang Rong's face, he handed the tangerines to Yao Yue and Huang Xuemei.

"Eat some fruit first, and after half a quarter of an hour you should be able to figure out where the person is hiding."

Although they didn't understand what Li Changqing was referring to, seeing Li Changqing's determined look, Yao Yue and Huang Xuemei actually stopped and took the tangerine from Li Changqing's hand.

I wonder if people from Tianlongmen and Yihua Palace would be shocked if they saw Yao Yue and Huang Xuemei, who had just looked ready to fight, then stopped after a few words from a man.

However, after using her strength to peel off the tangerine peel, Yao Yue suddenly frowned as she looked at the old man's body on the ground.

Then he flicked his long sleeves, and a unique force directly lifted the old man's body off the ground and fell into the ditch three feet away.

At this point, Yaoyue just picked up the tangerine and started eating it slowly.

As the pulp of a citrus clove entered her mouth, Yao Yue suddenly discovered another benefit of having Li Changqing by her side.

That means you will feel more at ease when eating.

After all, Li Changqing's medical skills and knowledge of poisons during this period have reached an incredible level.

Poisons can be identified and detoxified immediately by smell alone.

Naturally, with Li Changqing by their side, they did not need to worry about being poisoned.

But waiting is never comfortable.

Because when waiting, it always feels like the time is extremely long.

But Yao Yue and Huang Xuemei happened to not like waiting.

If it were different in the past, let alone half an hour, even a few dozen breaths would have caused some boredom to the two of them.

However, when Li Changqing handed the peeled tangerines to the two of them, and eating the tangerines peeled by Li Changqing himself, the annoyance in their hearts suddenly disappeared.

Especially Yao Yue, I feel that it is not unacceptable to wait a little longer.

"Ah~"

Just when Li Changqing handed the peeled citrus to Yao Yue, and Yao Yue raised her hand to take it, a scream suddenly sounded from the grass in the southwest.

The next second, Yao Yue saw the tangerine handed over by Li Changqing being taken back by Li Changqing.

Seeing this, Yao Yue's face suddenly darkened, her hands hanging in the air clenched into fists, and she looked coldly towards the direction where the screams came from.
