Volume 14 Seven Weapons: The Sword of Immortality
Bai Yujing said calmly: "Even if Boss Qinglong borrowed my sword, I will still return it."
Chapter 333 Fengyun Inn
dusk.
On the long street, all sounds had stopped, the sky was very dim, and the atmosphere seemed a little wrong, as if something big was about to happen.
Su Weiyun walked slowly down the long street, holding the old wine.
When the old wine walked here, it suddenly became reluctant to move. Not only could it smell the flavor of good wine, it also seemed to know how to distinguish good from bad and could smell the scent of danger.
Wild beasts that are often trained on the line between life and death often have a keen intuition. They know when danger is coming and where to escape.
Some of the masters in the world of martial arts may develop this strange "sixth sense" during constant fighting and training.
Of course Su Weiyun has it too.
This kind of cultivated intuition is a treasure that can save lives in the most critical moments and is much more precious than any martial arts skills.
So he did not linger and gradually walked along the long street.
At the end of the street, four huge lanterns were hung on a three-meter-high flagpole.
Vermilion lanterns, pitch-black words!
"Fengyun Inn".
Most inns are named "Ping'an", "Jixiang", "Yuelai"... These are words that symbolize beauty, but this inn is called "Fengyun".
When the wind and clouds come together, everything moves.
Su Weiyun murmured, "No wonder this inn seems to be doing bad business. Why is it named like this?"
Lao Jiu snorted, paddled the ground restlessly with his hooves, and nodded continuously, as if he understood Su Weiyun's words and was responding to him.
Su Weiyun added: "But within this 100-mile radius, all the inns are closed, and suddenly only this one is open. Don't you think it's strange?"
Laojiu hung his head and said nothing.
Su Weiyun said: "It's like someone has set a trap and is waiting for someone to take the bait. Who are they waiting for? Could it be me?"
"Won't!"
Laojiu naturally wouldn't say these two words, the person who spoke was inside the inn.
Suddenly, a middle-aged scholar with a clear face and wearing a blue shirt and white pants walked out of the inn door and bowed to Su Weiyun leisurely.
"Meet Master Su."
Su Weiyun asked curiously, "Do you know my last name is Su?"
The middle-aged scholar said, "I also know that Master Su just came back from the northwest. I heard that he fought with the martial arts predecessors from decades ago, the 'Three Friends of Winter'."
Su Weiyun said: "You are quite well-informed."
The middle-aged scholar said, "So Lord Su can rest assured to stay in this inn, because we are a family."
Su Weiyun nodded, without hesitation, and walked into Fengyun Inn with Laojiu.
——He already knew that this must be someone from the Qinglong Society, and this was the Qinglong Society’s territory.
——Only the Qinglong Society could have such well-informed information.
…
night.
There are no stars or moon, the clouds are dark and the wind is strong.
The yard was brightly lit and there were two tables of wine.
This was a banquet hosted by the Qinglong Club to welcome Su Weiyun.
"Brother Gongsun Jing, you have set up two tables for a grand banquet tonight. I'm sure it's not just for me, right?"
The middle-aged scholar was Gongsun Jing, one of the 365 helmsmen of the Qinglong Society, and also an indirect subordinate of Su Weiyun.
Gongsun Jing smiled and said, "Master Su, just watch. The exciting show is yet to come."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps outside the inn, and each step was very heavy.
Su Weiyun looked at Gongsun Jing and said casually, "Nine experts are here."
bite!
Suddenly there was a slight sound outside the yard.
Gongsun Jing said, "I think the Nine Red Haired Heroes of the Red Haired Gang have arrived. They love to mark the walls with golden rings."
Su Weiyun responded calmly: "Oh."
After a while, there was another loud noise outside the courtyard, like heavy rain knocking on the window and the sound of war drums.
Gongsun Jing said, "This is the sound of horses stepping on the stone streets. Lord Su, why don't you guess how many horses there are in total?"
Su Weiyun said: "No need to guess, eight. All eight are good horses, but none of them can compare to the old wine."
Laojiu was also there, drinking the liquor sip by sip, drinking more than anyone else.
Gongsun Jing showed admiration in his eyes, and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Master Su is really amazing. This is the Eight Blades of the Swift Wind from the Taihang Mountains!"
hiss!
A horse neighed sharply, and the neigh seemed to penetrate the clouds and reach the heaven.
Su Weiyun finally couldn't help but praise: "Good horse!"
Gongsun Jing's smile deepened: "If the White Horse Gang's white horse is not considered a good horse, then there are probably very few good horses in the world."
Although the Red Hair Gang, Taihang Fast Knife, and White Horse Gang are not particularly mysterious and terrifying sects, they are also powerful gangs.
What made them gather in front of the small Fengyun Inn on the same night?
Gongsun Jing suddenly bowed and said, "Excuse me, sir, for leaving me for a moment. I will go and greet the guest."
"Foreign guests? Foreign guests come from far away, so we should welcome them. But why did they come?"
Gongsun Jing explained: "The world is bustling with people, all for profit; the world is bustling with people, all for profit. They are a group of people who will not get up early without profit. If there is no big enough business, how can we hire these people?"
Su Weiyun said, "A big enough deal? What kind of deal is it? I'd like to hear about it."
Gongsun Jing laughed and said, "Haha, this deal is useless to you, but it can be a big deal for them!"
"What I'm going to sell to them is the legendary Peacock Feather, the most precious treasure of Peacock Villa!"
Su Weiyun stared and said, "Peacock Feather, is the Peacock Feather in your hand?"
Gongsun Jing added: "Of course not, it's just that I have the blueprint of the peacock feather. With the blueprint, I will naturally have the opportunity to forge a genuine peacock feather ."
"But you know that some magical things may not be made even if you have the blueprint. Your blueprint may not be as good as you imagined."
Gongsun Jing smiled and said, "I can choose not to tell those people."
Su Weiyun exhaled and said, "Okay, then you can go."
…
There was no one to be seen on the long street, and every house had closed its doors.
There was a gold ring nailed on the wall at the entrance of the inn, and eight steel knives were inserted on the flagpole.
There was also a white horse, standing alive on the eaves, with its four legs motionless, as if they had taken root.
There was no sound in the Fengyun Inn. The guests who were originally staying there had already slipped out the back door when they saw the golden ring and the eight steel knives.
Gongsun Jing walked towards them slowly.
He raised his long sleeves lightly, causing a gust of wind. The white horse was startled, neighed again, and jumped off the eaves of the door.
Gongsun Jing lifted up the horse's belly with both hands, and gently placed the horse on the ground. He patted the horse's belly and said, "Go back and bring your master here, and tell him that a good friend is waiting for him here."
The white horse seemed to understand what people meant and immediately spread its four hooves and galloped away.
The middle-aged scholar casually pulled out the golden ring on the side of the door, walked into the inn, slapped the flagpole, and eight steel knives fell down at the same time.
The middle-aged scholar rolled up his sleeves again, and had already rolled up the eight swords in his sleeves. He asked in a deep voice, "Where is the flag bearer?"
Suddenly, a thin figure rushed out of the inn , climbed up the flagpole like a monkey, and in the blink of an eye he was at the top of the pole.
Immediately, a large flag flew out from the top of the pole.
On the snow-white flag, there was an embroidered black dragon with bared fangs and claws, as if it would also break through the clouds and fly away!
