Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 283 Uncle and Nephew

Although there were not many patrons in the antique shop, there were many spare rooms, so the four of Tang Ge settled here.

Early the next morning, Long San knocked on the door of Tang Ge's room, and handed him a round dark brown wooden sign, the size of a palm, with a strange landscape carved on it, although tiny, it was lifelike.

"Is this the wooden sign?" Tang Ge asked, staring at the wooden sign in his hand.

Long San said: "Well, this is a symbol of free passage in Qinghai City. I have already sent it to my juniors and younger brothers."

Tang Ge rubbed it lightly and said, "The material is good."

Long San said: "The material of the wooden plaque is the unique thousand-year-old poplar wood on the shore of Lindong Lake. It is rare, but the baking skills alone can only be done by the one in Qinghai City."

Tang Ge said: "Do you still need to bake?"

Long San nodded and said: "This is an important aspect for them to identify the authenticity. Populus euphratica wood is originally gray, but it turns dark brown after using special baking skills. It is basically impossible to fake it."

Tang Ge nodded silently, put away the wooden sign, and asked again: "Where is the nearest common people's settlement to Lindong Lake?"

Ryuzo thought for a while and said: There is a village about fifty miles south of the lake, called Wanghu Village. The village is very small, with only about twenty households. "

Hearing this, Tang Ge's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Is Wanghu Village within the encirclement range of the northern army?"

Long San's face changed slightly, he was silent for a moment and said: "That's not true."

Tang Ge saw some confusion on Long San's face and asked, "What's the problem?"

Long San said helplessly: "Although the King of the North did not send troops to guard Wanghu Village, as far as my disciples know, there is a group of teams that often go to patrol around Wanghu Village. They are called resting feet, but they are actually investigations."

Tang Ge raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there anything weird in Wanghu Village?"

Ryuzo's face gradually became serious, and he nodded and said: "The only twenty or so families in Wanghu Village moved from further north. In just a few decades, they had been living in peace and stability. However, since the northern army brought the cold winter After the lake was fenced, Wanghu Village became unstable. Villagers often deliberately approached the area near Cold Winter Lake for various reasons, but they were all driven back by the army. Later, King Bei noticed that something was fishy, ​​so he sent A team went to investigate."

Tang Ge glanced at the door, and after a moment of thought, he asked, "Is there a way to enter Wanghu Village?"

Long San said helplessly: "The villagers of Wanghu Village are very xenophobic, and there are only about [-] families in total, and strangers can be recognized at a glance."

Tang Ge said: "How many people are there in that team?"

Ryuzo said: "12 people."

The corner of Tang Ge's mouth raised slightly, and he said, "Is there any way to make the villagers of Wanghu Village trust us?"

"This……"

Longsan stroked his chin and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Yes, everyone in the northern region believes in longevity, and the people in Wanghu Village are definitely no exception."

……

……

Two days later, two strangers came to Wanghu Village in the south of Lindong Lake, which surprised the whole village. Nearly a hundred villagers gathered in an open space in the center of the village, surrounded them in an arc, and surrounded the two people. Surrounded.

In the frigid place in the north, one of the young men was wearing a thin red dress, but he didn't feel the cold, and the other was a fat man, carrying a fortune-telling banner on his shoulder, with eight large characters written on it.

The unity of nature and man can lead to longevity.

The people stared at the two of them as if they were magicians. Obviously these extremely ordinary people did not believe them.

"The two of us are traveling around, passing by the precious land today, seeing the beautiful bells and spirits rising, it must be the place where the immortals were born, so I came here to check it out, I wonder if there are any strange people here?"

The fat man shook his head and said, with a smile on his face, like a swindler.

These two people are Tang Ge and Long San. The way Long San thought of was to pretend to be a quack warlock to deceive this group of villagers who had never seen the world. Tang Ge refused at first, but after some persuasion from Long San, he found that only This method is still feasible.

So the two of them carried the fortune-telling flag, pretended to be gods, and came to Wanghu Village.

"You little fat guy are too ridiculous. How could you spot Zhong Lingyuxiu in this deserted place?" A middle-aged man leaning in front of the crowd stared at Long San with disdain.

Long San said without changing his expression: "How can your crude eyes be compared to mine?"

The middle-aged man rolled up his sleeves, stared at Long San viciously and said, "You little fat man, you don't look old, but you are talking nonsense."

There were whispering voices behind him, obviously they didn't believe Longzo's statement.

"This uncle, he has cultivated Taoism for a long time. Have you ever heard of the art of self-cultivation and beauty? I look young, but Bill and others are actually a bit older."

Long San's tone was mysterious, and his obese body straightened back, appearing more confident.

The middle-aged man looked fierce and said, "You two had better leave Wanghu Village immediately, or don't blame us for sending you out forcibly because of the large number of people."

Behind him, there are more than a dozen young and strong boys who are ready to make a move. It seems that this middle-aged man's status in Wanghu Village is not low.

"Country rough people are really rude. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. There's no need to be rough." Seeing the scene, Long San couldn't control it, and there was a gleam in his small eyes, and he started to retreat.

"Throw out these two nonsense sticks!"

The middle-aged man couldn't take it anymore, he raised his arms and shouted, and a dozen young people behind him surrounded Longsan and the others.

Tang Ge's eyes turned cold, and he glanced at the group of people, with a faint sword light floating on his fingers.

When Ryuzo saw this, he quickly held his arm and shook his head at him. The message was conveyed in the twinkling of his eyes.

He had already heard about the temperament of this uncle in charge, if he really made a move here, there would be very few villagers left here.

In the midst of the tension, Long San held the fortune-telling flag and stood in front of Tang Ge, his eyes rolling, as if thinking of a countermeasure. His fat body was imposing, and he was not afraid of the intimidation of these villagers.

After all, with his Sunshine Realm cultivation base, it is more than enough to deal with these villagers.

"Stop it all!"

Just when the middle-aged man led a group of young people to take measures against Tang Ge and the two, a hoarse but unquestionable voice suddenly came from not far away.

The middle-aged man trembled when he heard it, and the original fierce light in his eyes immediately dissipated, and he became respectful, as if he had encountered something terrible.

The crowd dispersed, and a hunchbacked figure slowly walked over, leaning on crutches, at an extremely slow speed.

Tang Ge looked at the old man calmly, with a glimmer in his eyes. He could detect that there was a very obvious difference between the dying old man and other villagers, but he couldn't tell what the specific difference was.

It was a very short journey, but the old man walked for a long time. When he appeared in front of Ryuzo, the latter took a deep breath unconsciously. Even he himself didn't know why he had such a reaction.

The old man bent his back, slowly raised his head, his face was deeply wrinkled, his cloudy eyes fell on the fortune-telling flag on Longsan's shoulder, and he said with a smile: "Can you really calculate the world and search for longevity?"

Stared at by the strange eyes of the old man, Long San felt as if he was being bitten by thousands of ants all over his body, and said, "That's natural."

The old man said: "I am one hundred and eight years old this year, and I am afraid that I will die soon. I wonder if the two of you can predict how long I have to live, so I can make plans early."

Ryuzo's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he seemed calm, cold sweat broke out in his palms. For some reason, this old man gave him a really weird feeling.

"one day."

Just when Long San was thinking about how to answer the old man's question, a cold voice came from behind him.

Tang Ge came out from behind Long San and said calmly, "You still have one more day to live."
