Inner Demons

Li Yunxin stopped and turned to look at him: “Do you know what will happen to those who think I will die?”

The hawker stopped here. Feet and waving hands: “The Dragon King has misunderstood, and the youngest dare not to be alarmist. But the youngest has to say things in detail, from the beginning, and cannot be said on the street.”

Then rolled his eyes and glanced at the street: “Look at the little one…you can go there and say-and you can avoid the wind and cold. Let’s not hide from the Dragon King, the little one has been two days and nights in order to bring this to the Dragon King. No food or drink—”

Li Yunxin glanced at where he was looking.

That is a wine shop.

This mountain top is actually similar to the “high-end Commerce District” in Little Rock. The wine shops in this area are beautiful, but the taste is really mediocre. But on such a night, the shop was closed long ago—the shopkeeper of the wine shop is not the kind of bitter haha ​​who lives in the shop with the family. Perhaps he has already gone down the mountain and returned to his house to escape the disaster.

Therefore, only one buddy was left in the store-when Li Yunxin swept over, he found that buddy lying beside the window and secretly looking into the street.

It seems that it is weird for these two people to stand on the street and talk at this time-one is a long and graceful Young Master dressed in white cloth, and the other is a pawnbroker with a wretched appearance. There shouldn’t be any intersection between these two people. Seeing Li Yunxin’s gaze, he hurriedly retracted from the window, as if he was afraid of causing trouble.

Li Yunxin turned his head to look at the hawker again, laughed: “You are brave. Let’s go.”

After saying this, walk a few steps to the shop. . The dude didn’t know what to do in there, there was a bang.

But Li Yunxin waved his hand and the store opened. Then I saw a peas-like oil lamp on the counter—a man standing by two big tables put together with bedding. When he saw him, his face was pale and dumbfounded: “You, you, who are you?”

Li Yunxin didn’t say anything, the hawker had already casually said nonsense: “This Daoist came to the city to eliminate demons, eat and sleep all the way. Don’t prepare good wine and good food!”

After speaking, he lifted his foot and kicked the door and ran to a table by the window. First wipe the table and bench with the sleeves, then pull the stool nodded, and ask Li Yunxin to sit down. It is a mundane mortal.

Li Yunxin thought for a while and sat down.

The peddler smiled and stood in front of him again, winking his eyes: “I ate Dragon King’s drinks when I first met. Who in the world has such a face. It’s the blessing of three lifetimes, the blessing of three lifetimes .”

Li Yunxin smiled and snorted casually. After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hand and broke the corner of the bench below him. So he broke off a piece of wood. With another swipe of his hand, it turned into brilliant gold, which was thrown to him casually.

The hawker turned around and drank to the dumbfounded dude: “What else? Will the Taoist lose your money? Why don’t you eat and drink?”

Said raised his hand and threw the gold to him.

The buddy may be shocked to see the gold, and he hurriedly picked it up, but it was smashed on his feet, and tears came out of pain-he knew it was enough.

She held it in her hand and said blankly: “Uh…Go back to the Lord…It’s not hot anymore–“

The hawker hate iron for not becoming steel sighed and sighed. Scolded him: “You stupid goose. Is it the first day to do things? There are stewed meat in the back kitchen, steamed and cut. There are dried fruit preserves, picking up on the plate. Find some seasonal vegetables and finely shred them. After it’s hot, add some spicy sesame oil, salt sugar balsamic vinegar, black and white sesame seeds, and mix it into a cold dish. What good wine is there, and it’s tight-haven’t I taught you usually?”

The guy was dumbfounded. After thinking about it, he said: “Uh…this, Lord, not at all dried fruit preserves…”

The hawker reached out and took out two boxes from the rattan basket resting on the ground, and patted it on The table in front of me: “Here I have-two boxes of four big money, I took the money and quickly bought it!”

The guy was robbed of the white branch and turned around. After only a moment of stunned sleepwalking, he really took out four big money from his arms to give to the hawker, and timidly hugged the two boxes to the kitchen.

The hawker sighed then said, turned his head and offered a smile to Li Yunxin, sat down beside him, and said, “Oh. It’s called Dragon King laugh. These new guys are not sensible. “

Li Yunxin watched his performance, the expression on his face softened a lot. So look at him carefully.

Find out that he is actually not very old. That weather-beaten face seems to be only recently. The teeth are still white—not like many people in this era, but a bite of black and yellow decayed teeth.

He laughed: “You are familiar with this store.”

The hawker smiled nodded: “It is true that the dragon king said that the little one is the person from Little Rock–the dragon king can listen. It’s my accent. The villain has a surname and a single name. I used to work in this store-from 12 years old to 22 years old, it has been ten years.”

“Aren’t you from Mu Nanju?”

“The younger one is only Mu Nanju’s’manager’, and he is not qualified enough to help in the store.” This hawker who claims to be painted ink seems Hearing Li Yunxin’s doubts, he explained, “But even if it’s the order of Mu Nanju, the Dragon King, we usually have to eat and drink and live. The little ones have no skills and can only do this to serve people. “

Li Yunxin was slightly stunned: “Is it not to your advantage to do things for them?”

Tu Mo blinked: “The little one knows what the Dragon King means. But, all sorts of things. The good thing is, whether it’s gold and silver treasures or Gold Jade clothes, isn’t it just that people like us wear it on the body, don’t they just attract people’s attention? It’s normal to live on our own strength so that it is so unnoticeable.”

Li Yunxin frowned and stared at him for a while.

Things seem to be a little bit different from what he had thought before-it’s the situation of Mu Nanju.

I thought it should rely on money and intelligence to build a huge network everywhere. Or Xu used money or Xu used power for his own use.

Looking at the situation of this guy now-if what he said is true-it means… it seems that there are many people like him, hidden everywhere in this world. No… Actually, they are not hidden—

They are not some “Munanju people”, and then they pretend to be “travelers”. Rather, the real role is “traveler”, and by the way “man from Mu Nanju”…

Hell. In his previous world, in the past history, he knew that there was an organization that could achieve this level-members did not seek fame or fortune, but only for a common ideal, to become “like-minded” people.

But Mu Nanju…can do this too?

What to rely on?

“The advanced nature of thought”?

He couldn’t help asking: “Why? It’s no good, why do you want to do things for Munanju?”

The hawker laughed: “Dragon King, you must know that not all people in this world do things. For his own benefit. The little one does these things not for anything else, but for the common people in the world.”

It was ridiculous to say this from his mouth. But when he said this, although he was still humble, his tone and eyes were sincere. It seems that he himself truly believes the words “for the sake of the world” in his mouth.

Li Yunxin couldn’t help laughing: “For the common people of the world? The people from Mu Nanju taught you this way?”

The hawker coughed: “Dragon King, the villain is indeed like this I think.”

“Ah…good.” Li Yunxin nodded, “good. I won’t talk about this for now. Since you are working here, why not do it.”

“For the Dragon King.” Tumo said with a smile, “This has to be elaborated from the beginning-Dragon King, please -”

The talking Kung Fu guy brought two plates of braised pork. One plate is braised pork head, sliced ​​into thin slices, and placed in a white plate.

The skin on the top is slightly yellow and transparent. It trembles leisurely when it is clamped, and it is very chewy when you want to eat it in your mouth. There is no fat under the skin, just lean meat, fragrant. It was slightly steamed before serving, so there was a layer of fat on the meat, which was slightly bright in the oil lamp on the table.

The other plate is braised pork ears, cut into thin strips. Two pieces of fleshy skin sandwiched with brittle bones, tough and soft, squeaked in the mouth, and the fleshy skin turned into a mouthful of meaty fragrance.

There are two small plates next to it. One is a dipping sauce made of pepper, pepper powder, black and white sesame seeds, peanuts, and almonds. The other dish is made with the best soy sauce and balsamic vinegar-one dish enhances the fragrance and the other relieves the greasy.

Li Yunxin just looked at it: “Eat yours.”

After painting the ink twice, he is no longer polite—it looks really hungry— -First sandwiched three slices of braised pork head meat, rolled in the dipping sauce, opened mouth and sent it to the mouth to chew. Then I poured myself a cup of tea and sent it down, then I took three more slices and dipped in the balsamic vinegar to eat. After swallowing it in this way, he put a pig ear into his mouth and chewed and sighed. “The dragon king doesn’t know–the little man is so hungry that the five internal organs are about to break the incense. But the little man broke the five internal organs. The incense of Li Yunxin is actually for the incense of the Dragon King——”

Li Yunxin did not speak, but listened to him quietly and patiently.

Speaking of which, the guy brought up the wine. But he put it down and ran away-Tumo glanced at him, sighed then said. Pour a cup for Li Yunxin and a cup for himself, and said: “Before, in Rongcheng, Wang Da shopkeeper answered Rain Dragon King one thing-that he helped the Dragon King win the Weishui.”

“This matter , We made it naturally.” He drank a glass of wine, his tone changed slightly, “The Dragon King must be impatient to hear how we did it. Just know that at the moment, there are Dragon Kings in every town through the Wei River. Dragon King Temple—In the temple, famous painters from all over the world were invited to paint the Chiki-kissing statue, opened a little spiritual light, and sealed it in a clay statue. Just open the light again, and the incense and aspirations of the believers along the Wei River can be sourced. It’s not Danger Land that gathers on the Dragon King.”

“The little one, I was still working in this shop last month. Then I was assigned to go to the section where the Wei River flows through the Yeguo—also near Little Rock City. More than a hundred miles-to raise money for the Dragon King’s temple.” He smiled and sighed then said, “This kind of thing is not easy to understand, so the little one left without saying goodbye. About the shopkeeper waited for me for a few days, and couldn’t see it. I was so annoyed that I came to this goose.”

Li Yunxin said “Oh”: “Then you lost your job because of me.”

>

Tu Mo hurriedly said: “Don’t dare to say that. The Dragon King’s business is the world’s common people’s affairs. It’s just…the little one went to build the Dragon King Temple in the territory of the industry, and I learned the news of the Dragon King these days. . At the same time… I also learned another news. For this reason, the villain has just boldly said life and death to the Dragon King.”

Li Yunxin looking thoughtfully nodded: “You speak.”

When I painted the ink, I looked at the wine glass in front of Li Yunxin: “Dragon King…not used to drinking this wine?”

Li Yunxin glanced at the stool he was sitting on, it was missing “I don’t want to drink it.”

“…ah.” Tu Mo also looked at the corner and laughed, “That’s it. The Dragon King should know-your eight big brothers, Once I learn that you have been chased and almost died, what kind of reaction should you have.”

“——I will wait and see for a while. If you think you still have the possibility of a comeback, maybe Don’t hit a person when he’s down. But if you feel that you have no hope…They will miss you very much when he’s down.”

Li Yunxin was silent for a while: “So, you guys I also know that the dragons want to combine 90% of the Dragon Qi into one.”

“The villain not only knows this, but also knows that he learned that the Dragon King was seriously injured and the Dongting Emperor After the news of the death——Through the excuse of True Dragon to fight the Xuanmen, your eight big brothers And many big monsters came to Yeguo and Little Rock City. Right now, this industry country is almost surrounded by Xuanmen and Demon. The Dragon King appeared in Little Rock City, although he could hide it for a while, but it could not last long. “

He approached Li Yunxin a little bit and lowered his voice: “The Sword Sect Demon Freemasonry Society is looking for the Dragon King intentionally or unconsciously. If the Dragon King ignores me tonight, it will take a few months to slowly recover the state, divine force… wouldn’t it be the same as death! “

After saying this, the dumb guy came again. A plate of dried fruits and a plate of preserves-sold to him with ink. There is also a plate of seasonal vegetables that he cleaned. According to him The words were cut into silk and scalded with water, making them look jade green even more. But the guy is silly, but the craftsmanship seems to be good-it’s not irritating, but not sluggish. As Tumo said, add various condiments and mix, A crispy plate on the table, very greasy.

Then stood at the table and rubbed his hands timidly: “Tao, Master Dao…what else? “

Tumo waved his hand: “Busy you go, go far. “

The man ran away hurriedly.

Li Yunxin watched him drinking and eating meat, and thought for a while: “Then I came with you tonight, what’s the chance?” “

“Naturally, the aura of temples along the Weishui River was opened for the Dragon King-so that the incense of those believers will gather in the body of the Dragon King and restore the divine force as soon as possible! ”

“en. ”

This seems to be good news—very good news. But Li Yunxin is only un’ed like this, putting his hand on the table and using his index finger Slowly knocking on the tabletop.

He watched Tumo eating and drinking in silence like this, but Tumo was also relaxed. He kept eating and drinking for a quarter of an hour, and the food on the table was strongly wind scattered by him. The last clouds usually swept away. Then he hit a full hiccup, poured two cups of cold tea, and went smoothly.

This good thing that painted ink brought him to the door can be described as provide timely help .

But it was precisely because it was too time to come, so Li Yunxin hesitated. This means that the other party has been paying attention to his whereabouts and knows everything well. This makes him feel a little uncomfortable, but he is not. I know if this kind of “uncomfortableness” is normal…

So I thought about it for a quarter of an hour, and laughed: “Dragon King, villain… The owner of Mu Nanju, asked the villain to bring the dragon king. a few words. “

Li Yunxin turned his gaze to look at him: “I just said it at this time. “

Tu Mo smiled: “The owner of Mu Nanju said that if the Dragon King agreed, these words are unnecessary. But I am afraid that the Dragon King will hesitate-if the Dragon King hesitates for a quarter of an hour before getting up and leaving, then the villain will say it again. “

Li Yunxin put his hands on his legs and lightly took a deep breath. He closed his eyes slightly and said, “You speak.” “

“My family’s Master said–“The painted face became solemn, and he coughed lightly–

“At this time, you are naturally thinking about your All the whereabouts and actions are in our hands, you feel that you are restricted, so you feel a little unhappy. “

“You also think that the timing of our gift is too coincidental, so you think we are both giving gifts and demonstrating. However, Li Yunxin, you are a smart person, and you should also know that there is nothing in this world that does not need to be paid. The discomfort you feel at this moment is the price you need to pay to get our gift. “

“You should know…” Tumo seems to be imitating the words of the owner of Mu Nanju. So even the ending sound of the word “Ah” is simulated, “You used to do it in Weicheng and Dongting The thing is just fighting with one person and one faction. That is the war of warriors-you can deal with it alone. “

“But at the moment, you are fighting with Orthodoxy, Sword Sect, Demon, and Freemasonry. This is a dispute between the princes-you should know that it is not something you can handle alone. If you can be here and listen to him telling me this remark, it means that you have fallen into a bad situation. At this time, only if you cooperate with us and get our support, you will have the capital to join the battle between the lords. “

“Otherwise…no matter how much you have the skills of shocking and stunning, you can only become cannon fodder in this battle. “

When Tumo said these words, he sat upright and his waist was straight. When he finished saying these words, his body buckled again, and his smile returned to his face: “Long King, These are the original words of my family’s Master. “

Li Yunxin sat down, thought for a while, suddenly laughed, and asked casually: “Is your family master beautiful?” “

The smile that had been painted with ink on his face finally disappeared briefly at this moment. He was stunned for a while, and then laughed: “Ah… this, haha, Dragon King, villain How dare you say anything about the master’s appearance…”

“I heard that it is beautiful? “

This time I paint and hesitate, as if I really don’t know how to go back.

Li Yunxin stood upside down and shook his head: “I heard that your family master is beautiful. Heart yearning for it. I’ve always wanted to meet with a beautiful woman, so I can talk about amidst flowers and in the moonlight, Wushan Yunyu. But these words were important to her, but she refused to come and say them in person—of course I am not targeting you—but asking you to preach these words really despised me. “

He carried his hands on his back and thought about it, laughed: “The battle between the princes…what a battle between the princes. “

Then he narrowed his smile and looked at the ink painting: “I promise not to do anything wrong with you, and ask you to accept the Weishui as a reward-you did this, and we both cleaned up.” “

“Now you have done a lot more-I can’t suffer without merit. The feeling of owing favor is very terrifying to me. So this time…thank your family master for me. She said that I would become cannon fodder in this battle between the marquis, so…”

Li Yunxin took a deep breath: “I will try this battle by myself. If there will be an emperor’s battle in the future-if she is willing to come to see me in person at that time and truly regard me as an evenly matched ally or opponent, let’s talk about it. “

After saying this, Li Yunxin glanced at the corner of the bench where he had broken off and paid the bill for gold, then turned and walked outside the door.

Stop smiling. After a while, he said anxiously: “Dragon King, do you really want to wait for good things? ! “

“The good things that are delivered to the door, I always keep away. “Li Yunxin opened the door-the autumn breeze outside the door came in with the coolness and fallen leaves.

Seeing that he was really going to leave, Tu Mo hurriedly shouted: “Long King wait a minute, Dragon King slightly Wait! “

Then turned around and hurriedly waved to the guy: “Come here! “

The guy has been shrinking in the corner, looking at the gold in his hand and playing with it. At this time, I saw Tu Mo and he rushed over: “Da, uncle, what else do you want?” “

“Stand here without moving. “Tu Mo straightened up and ordered him. At the same time, he strode to him and raised his hand—right hand was on his forehead, and his left hand was supporting his chin. The dude was about to ask what’s going on, Tu Mo As soon as ka-cha’s arms pressed hard-ka-cha made a crisp sound, and he fell softly.

Then the ink rushed into the kitchen and ran out like a gust of wind, leaving the two empty in his hands. The box was thrown into his rattan basket. Then he reached out and took out four large coins from his arms and threw them on the man’s corpse. Then he lifted the basket and looked at Li Yunxin: “The dragon king thinks about this again-my family’s Master It is indeed not to deliberately belittle the Dragon King——”

Li Yunxin looked at him silently, and at the body of the fellow on the ground.

Tu Mo followed his gaze. At a glance, said without thinking: “Tonight is a special situation, he must take us in his heart. Tomorrow I will tell the shopkeeper that it is me, and we will attract attention. But the Dragon King, please think twice about the Dragon King-the Dragon King cooperates with us not only for the Dragon King himself, but also for the welfare of the people in the world-“

But Li Yunxin stared at the corpse of the fellow on the ground for a long time. , Suddenly laughed.

Tu Mo didn’t know why he laughed.

But Li Yunxin smiled and shook his head, strode out of the wine shop and into the street.

Tu Mo hurriedly chased out, but even though Li Yunxin seemed to walk at a moderate pace, his speed was extremely fast. Only two or three breaths of effort disappeared at the end of the street.

For fear of disturbing the people on the street, Tu Mo did not dare to shout loudly. He could only ran a few steps silently and finally gave up.

The night wind on the long street whimpered, he heard In the wind, Li Yunxin murmured something. He didn’t hear it very clearly, but he thought that maybe it should be a dumb sentence–

“Heh…Is it really black? “

=========

6000 words. Ah…
