C18 Talk
It was bright.
Zhao Shanhee had disappeared early in the morning. Wu Feng, on the other hand, had to rest in the inn because he was injured. Su Chunsheng went out with Gongsun Yi and the old man named Huang Shutu.
The County City of West River County was still bustling with noise and excitement. People were walking on the streets, shouting and selling.
Su Chunsheng had stayed in the Clear Wind Mountain for two years, but he had never gone down the mountain. He had only heard about the West River County. Although Gongsun Yi had come all the way to the north, she had only seen the flowers on the horses. She was wandering around the West River County, so she did not know much about the County City.
The three of them walked together. Gongsun Yi was full of energy after a night of sleep. She kept chattering along the way. She looked around and was very excited. She seemed to have forgotten what happened yesterday. It made sense. The eldest daughter of the Gongsun family had never been afraid of outsiders.
Su Chunsheng felt relieved. After all, with Zhao Shanhee's presence, the local sects and gangs in West River County would at least give Sky Facing Pavilion some face. At least, they wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous. After all, the Sky Facing Pavilion had been in West River County for a hundred years. They must have some kind of background.
The reason why Su Chunsheng went out this time was because he wanted to take a stroll. It would be best if he could get more information.
The old man, Huang Shutu, who was always known as Second Master by Gongsun Yi, was still calm and quiet. However, he followed closely behind. No one could tell his emotions.
The three of them walked and stopped. Along the way, Gongsun Yi, who was wearing a human skin mask, bought a lot of fancy things, which surprised many vendors. Fortunately, the West River County was mixed with fish and dragons, so it did not attract much attention.
After walking for an entire morning, the three of them sat down at a roadside stall and ordered some simple food.
There were quite a number of customers. Many of them were dressed luxuriously. It could be seen that this stall really had a good taste.
Gongsun Yi sat on the stool and cleaned up the spoils of war in her hands. She raised her head with a smile and said, "Mr. Chunsheng, there are so many fun places in West River County. Can you bring me around often in the future?"
Su Chunsheng nodded with a smile. Perhaps it was because Gongsun Yi was chattering and her lively manner along the way had lessened the haze in Su Chunsheng's heart.
"This lady is right. Although West River County is located in the northwest of the dynasty, the good stuff is not bad at all."
On the table next door, a fat fat man said with a smile.
Su Chunsheng immediately became alert. He raised his head and looked at the man. He saw that the man was dressed luxuriously, but he was covered in fat. No matter how he looked at it, he weighed more than two hundred pounds. There was a faint smile on his swollen face, and his tiny eyes could not see his pupils clearly.
Although Gongsun Yi was wearing a human skin mask, she spoke with the voice of a woman. It was likely that the fat man had heard Gongsun Yi's voice and addressed her as a lady.
Without waiting for Su Chunsheng to reply, Gongsun Yi, who was already happy, turned around and said with a smile, "Is that so? What fun places do you have in West River County?"
The fat man seemed to be very familiar with West River County. He laughed and said, "There are so many fun places in West River County. For example, there is a river called Black Water River. The fish there are extremely delicious. There is also a Clear Wind Mountain in the north. Behind the mountain, there was a huge bluestone forest. That was an extremely rare scenery. If a girl was interested, I can let your big brother bring her around more. Besides, I heard that another peerless divine sword has appeared in West River County recently. "There will definitely be many martial arts grandmasters coming. It will be another beautiful scene."
Gongsun Yi frowned when she heard this. She ignored the Black Water River and Clear Wind Mountain and asked, "Is that peerless divine sword Crimson Sky Sword?"
The fat man was stunned for a moment. Then, he laughed out loud and said, "So you are also from the Pugilistic World. It is indeed Crimson Sky Sword. I heard that you are now in the Sky Facing Pavilion, the number one sect in the West River County."
Gongsun Yi was stunned for a moment, then she turned her head to look at Su Chunsheng. Even the old man, Huang Shutu, who had been silent all this time, raised his head slightly and seemed to be deep in thought.
Su Chunsheng's smile did not change. A hand quietly pressed down on Gongsun Yi's arm and smiled gently. "Thank you for your advice, senior. You must go to Clear Wind Mountain when you have time."
The fat man waved his hand and smiled.
After a simple meal, Su Chunsheng and the other two got up and left.
The fat man sitting on the stall narrowed his eyes as he watched the three of them leave. The smile on his face gradually became gloomy.
Immediately, the fat fatty raised his hand and snapped his fingers. A ghostly figure appeared behind him. The fat man said in a deep voice, "Send someone to test the waters. If it is an ordinary martial artist, just kill him. If he comes from a big sect, you know what to do. "
The black shadow nodded heavily and disappeared behind him.
The fat fatty burped and patted his round belly. He narrowed his eyes and murmured: He's not old. One is in the Rebirth State and the other is in the Fuyao State. They don't look simple. And that man's skin mask. Tsk, tsk, tsk. It seemed like he was also a master. The West River County is bustling with activity!
-
After Zhao Shanhee left the inn, he did not go directly to the so-called Wind Moon Restaurant. Instead, he walked around the county city for a long time before he turned into a long alley.
At the end of the alley, there was an iron shop. The sound of metal being hammered could be heard.
After arriving at the iron shop, Zhao Shanhee seemed to be familiar with the way. He sat on a small stool at the entrance and raised his head to look at the old man who was concentrating on forging. His expression was calm.
The old man's hair was completely white, but his upper body was not clothed. His strong and strong muscles appeared very overbearing. He waved the hammer in his hand and continuously knocked on the metal embryo, causing sparks to fly.
After a long while, the old man placed the flat iron embryo back into the furnace. Then, he exhaled and gently walked to the door. He glanced sideways at Zhao Shanhee, who had been silent the entire time, and said in an unpleasant tone. "What's wrong? "You want me to give you another sword? "You, Zhao Shanhee, are not satisfied?"
Zhao Shanhee shook his head and sighed. He looked up at the calm old man and said, " Is something going to happen in West River County?"
The old man was stunned. He sat down next to Zhao Shanhee and said, "Tell me about it."
Therefore, Zhao Shanhee told him everything that had happened to the disciples of Sky Facing Pavilion in the past two days.
After listening to what Zhao Shanhee said, the old man was silent for a long time. Then, he slowly said, "Most likely, someone wants to test the Sky Facing Pavilion. As for this matter, I advise you not to get involved. Hurry up and go to the Wind Moon Restaurant to bring your family's disciples back. I reckon this matter will end here. As for the Crimson Sky Sword, don't even think about it in the Sky Facing Pavilion. That sword originally belonged to the Nine Clouds Sword Sect's eldest son. Two years ago, the Nine Clouds Sword Sect was destroyed, and that sword was nowhere to be found. Now that it has appeared again, there must be something very mysterious about it.
"But that is the number one sword in the ancient era after all. Who doesn't want to see it?" Zhao Shanhee seemed to be a little unwilling.
However, the blacksmith old man couldn't help but spit. He sneered and said, "The Sky Facing Pavilion doesn't know what kind of person you are. Has there ever been a Upper Nine Stages Grandmaster in the past few decades? The Nine Clouds Sword Sect produced seven Earth Immortals in a single day. What's the result? "
Zhao Shanhee was stunned on the spot. His face was livid, as if he was very dissatisfied.
"Do you want a sword or a life? Choose it yourself." The old man patted his butt and walked straight into the blacksmith shop.
Zhao Shanhee was in a daze for a long time before he slowly got up. He bowed to the blacksmith shop and turned around to leave.
The old man standing in the blacksmith shop couldn't help but sigh and said, "Sky Facing Pavilion is a frog at the bottom of a well after all. You, Zhao Shanhee, are a wise man. It's a pity that Chu Yunian is too ambitious. I hope that Sky Facing Pavilion will be able to escape this calamity."
The old man lowered his head and looked at the black and sturdy arm. He fell into deep thought.
Outsiders didn't know that the old man was called Zheng Xie. He was once the top disciple of the Sky Facing Pavilion. However, he was defeated in the Sect Master battle twenty years ago. After that, he quietly left the sect and became a blacksmith.
