But when Qin Yun got up the next morning, there was a strong wind blowing in Xiangshuiji. The gray sky looked heart-stopping, and the howling wind mixed with bits of sand and stone hit the roof tiles and stone walls, making a tiny crackling sound.
When Qin Yun came up from downstairs, he saw many guests from the inn gathering in the lobby and chatting in low voices. Several businessmen sighed and seemed quite depressed, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.
Seeing this situation, Qin Yun's heart was moved, and he did not rush to the tavern. He asked an inn clerk to ask about it, and then he knew the reason.
It turns out that Xiangshui Ji is located on the edge of the West Sea Prairie, with the vast Gobi Desert to the north, and is often affected by sandstorms in the north. Although this impact does not cause much harm to the city, the local residents have long been accustomed to sandstorms. The weather is raging, but the caravan heading north is bound to be unable to make the trip.[
No one dares to rush when a sandstorm comes. The terrifying sandstorm can sweep away all living things on the ground and can easily roll a camel caravan into the air. Even high-level experts cannot resist its power.
Most of the people staying in the inn were merchants. There were several caravans that were going to Mobei today and tomorrow. When the sandstorm came, they could only stay in Xiangshuiji. They were naturally depressed, but there was nothing they could do about it.
It's not just the businessmen who are depressed, Qin Yun is also depressed, because the Sand City Demon Realm is located in the desert north of Xiangshuiji. How can he go there if there is a sandstorm?
But regardless of whether he can make the trip, Qin Yun is ready to go to the tavern first.
But as soon as he stepped out of the inn's door, he suddenly realized that Mrs. Lin had brought someone over.
Qin Yun felt a little strange, because if it was for the guide, she didn't need to come here in person, she could just send someone or wait for him to come.
With doubts, Qin Yun welcomed her into the inn and sat down in the corner of the side hall.
"Little guy, there's a sandstorm in the north. If you want to go to the Sand City Demonic Realm, you won't be able to leave for two days!" Mrs. Lin said to him: "But Lao Cheng's agreement is still valid. You are bold and gave him a dozen gold leaves. !”
Qin Yun smiled slightly and said, "It's not a lot of money for selling your life."
Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "You little guy is quite interesting, but I'm not here to talk about Lao Cheng's affairs. Anyway, he will definitely help you after receiving your money, and it will only take two or three days."
After a pause, she continued: "I just got news that Thunder Tiger may be trying to harm you. I heard that they have invited several worship experts to help. So you should be careful these days and don't leave the inn if nothing happens. , no matter how cruel he is, he would not dare to break into the inn and cause trouble."
Qin Yun's eyes suddenly condensed: "Does this trivial matter matter? Then Xie Laosan is quite capable!"
He just slapped Mr. Xie twice, but the other party actually mobilized an army to invite a master to worship him, which was too fussy. Of course, this did not mean that Qin Yun was afraid of the other party, but it just felt ridiculous.
"Who is Xie Laosan? I can squeeze him to death with just my stretched out hand!"
Mrs. Lin said disdainfully: "But Lei Hutou loves face very much. Xie Laosan's sister is his concubine. Anything can happen if the pillow blows. But I am sure that Tiger Hall is dealing with you by chance. Lei Hutang and I Tiger is an old enemy. I lost his face last night, so he probably wants to regain his reputation!"
There was a trace of murderous intent in her eyes: "Tiger Hall has become more and more unruly recently. He plays all the tricks on my territory. Sooner or later, he and I will have to fight. If I don't cut off a few of his hands and feet,
I don’t know the pain!”
"So if you run into trouble, you can come to the tavern to find me."
Qin Yun understood that the forces represented by Lady Lin and Lei Laohu's side had a grudge and conflict, and he was just involved in it at the right time, becoming the cause of the conflict between the two parties.
Madam Lin did not shy away from this, nor did she take advantage of him. She even came to Qin Yun's house to tell Qin Yun the truth frankly, which shows her openness and sincerity.[
Qin Yun clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, boss lady!"
There are many dragons and snakes in the grass. Although Mrs. Lin is a woman, she is not as bold and generous as a man. Qin Yun has a good impression of her, but he does not think that he needs her protection.
Mrs. Lin waved her hands carelessly: "I said you don't need to be so polite. The responsibility for this matter lies with me. I will find a way to settle the matter without delaying your affairs, so don't worry!"
Qin Yun nodded, but he had his own plan in mind.
Mrs. Lin did not stay at the inn longer. After chatting for a few words, she quickly left the inn with the others.
After waiting for a while, Qin Yun also left the inn.
It’s not that he forgot Mrs. Lin’s warning, but as Mrs. Lin said, what is Xie Laosan? What is Thunder Tiger? Isn’t Tiger Hall still a major sect?
As a disciple of the Tiancheng Sword Sect, if Qin Yun cowers in the inn and acts like a coward because he is afraid of a third-rate family, how can he still have the nerve to participate in the Xihai Martial Arts Association and compete with his peers?
He was walking alone on the streets of Xiangshuiji. Due to the sandstorm, there were obviously fewer pedestrians on the streets. Many shops were not even open, making them look quite deserted. However, the pubs and restaurants were still lively and gathered more customers.
Not long after walking, Qin Yun discovered that there were a few more "tails" behind him. There were about three or four people at the beginning, and they followed closely in a sneaky way, and the number continued to increase.
Well done! Qin Yun smiled coldly in his heart, pretending not to know and moved on.
But before we walked a hundred steps away, the road ahead was blocked!
Dozens of tough gray-shirted warriors appeared at the end of the long street. They were carrying knives and swords with ferocious faces. There were figures looming in the alley next to them, shaking their swords. Many passers-by saw this and sped up to escape.
As soon as this happened, the bosses and waiters of the nearby shops immediately put up wooden boards to close the doors to thank customers.
Behind Qin Yun, a dozen pursuers blatantly pressed forward, forming a siege around him.
A burly man with a huge back and waist stepped forward, he touched the tiger head tattoo on his bare chest, smiled ferociously at Qin Yun and said: "Are you the guy who doesn't know whether to live or die? You are quite courageous, you shocked me.
People from Tigers dare to wander around Xiangshuiji after losing my face. Do you think that all the people in Tiger Hall are dead? Do you think that ugly lady Lin can always protect you?"
Qin Yun said calmly: "Then what do you want?"
"It's very simple!" The burly man's bear eyes flashed with fierceness, and he stretched out his furry palm and raised three fingers: "Kneel down and beg for mercy. As long as you cut off one of your hands to compensate for the loss, I can spare your life!"
Qin Yun's eyes turned cold: "What if I don't agree?"
"Don't agree?" The burly man said with a ferocious smile: "You can't help but agree! When you come to Xiangshuiji, I will be coiled by a dragon and lie down by a tiger. I have many ways to make you want to die!"
Qin Yun suddenly laughed: "Then I really want to see your Thunder Tiger's methods and see how you can make me want to die. Do you rely on you trash of the Tiger Hall?"
The burly man was furious, his eyes flashed with a fierce glare, and he slowly raised his right arm. All the warriors behind him pressed the hilts of their swords and prepared to take action. The tense atmosphere was suffocating.
Ding! Ding! Ding! [
At the moment when the battle was about to break out, suddenly the clear sound of copper bells came from behind Qin Yun, accompanied by low-pitched Sanskrit singing, as if it was like a spiritual voice coming from the heaven, and the long street was instantly dispersed.
The tense atmosphere on.
Qin Yun's heart moved and he couldn't help but turn around and look back.
A group of yellow-robed monks were walking from the other side of the street. The two leading monks were holding long flags and shaking copper bells to clear the way. Four monks were carrying a chariot bed with a canopy. Only an old monk in red robes was seen crossing his legs.
Sitting on it with eyes closed and a solemn expression, dozens of monks holding Buddhist sutras in their hands and spinning prayer wheels followed closely behind.
On the left and right sides of the team, there were several young novice monks with delicate features, carrying bamboo baskets, and occasionally throwing flower petals in the baskets on the ground. The grandeur of the scene was jaw-dropping.
The members of the Tiger Hall who followed Qin Yun showed awe on their faces and gave in. Some of them even knelt down on the street, bowing to their leader and not daring to look up.
Thunder Tiger's face suddenly changed, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and he gritted his teeth and looked extremely unwilling.
He hesitated for a moment, put down his arm slumped, glared at Qin Yun fiercely and said: "Boy, you are lucky today, let's go!"
After saying the cruel words, Lei Huo turned around and left. The members of the Tiger Hall gang who were originally aggressive also hurriedly ran away and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if they were afraid that there would be a big disaster if they left too late?
What kind of powerful person is this old monk in red robe, who scares the thunder tiger to the point of peeing when he appears?
Qin Yun was very curious and quietly retreated to the street.
The team of monks walked past Qin Yun in a leisurely manner, and he was able to see clearly the true appearance of the other party in the chariot.
This monk in a red cassock has a thin figure and an old face, with white eyebrows and droopy ears. He has a calm expression. There is a gilt Zen staff in front of him, which looks like a clay wood sculpture that has lost its vitality.
What Qin Yun didn't expect was that when he looked at the old monk in red robe, he suddenly opened his eyes!
Qin Yun's heart was suddenly shocked, because there was an indescribable aura of majesty in the other person's eyes, so powerful that he could not resist at all, as if his whole person was seen through in an instant, and all the secrets were revealed in the other person's eyes!
But the next moment, the red-robed old monk's eyes became calm and peaceful, no longer threatening. He nodded to Qin Yun, and his old face showed a warm smile, becoming extremely friendly and lively.
Qin Yun suddenly came to his senses. He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and bowed to the other party.
