Chapter 164 (I still brought a monthly pass for a tow oil bottle)
For three days, Sun Ran did nothing else but wander around Chang'an City, praying to God for clues and understanding the specific situation of Chang'an City.
In this era, transportation was all done by walking, either by people or by horses, and the speed was very slow anyway. In the huge city of Chang'an, Sun Ran did not use Taoism, and all his behaviors were no different from ordinary people.
After three days, Sun Ran visited almost all of Chang'an City, leaving only one imperial city that he had not visited.
After this trip, Sun Ran didn't find anything special. There were only a few small saboteurs who used the Buddha to deceive the secrets and hide in some unknown corners.
Sun Ran had no interest in catching such a little demon who only had first- and second-level permissions. He turned a blind eye and just pretended that he didn't see it.
Since there is nothing strange in the outer city, the Buddha spent a lot of energy to deceive the secrets here, and the secret must be hidden in the imperial city.
Sun Ran was not in a hurry, and was not prepared to alert the enemy. He planned to wait a few more days, and when Li Yuan arrived, he asked Xiao Qing to follow him in to explore the situation.
"Where is Li Yuan now?" Sun Ran contacted Chang'e.
"There are still a few days to go, and almost everyone in their family has arrived, so they are walking very slowly." Chang'e replied.
"Oh, okay."
It just so happens that he will have a few more days in the city.
It was already afternoon, and the weather was good today, so the street was very lively. Sun Ran walked all the way, feeling the folk customs of the Sui Dynasty, and felt very happy.
Suddenly, he saw a very familiar figure walking on the street corner in front of him. He squinted and saw that she was dressed in black plain clothes and had a sword hanging on her waist. Isn't it his apprentice Xie Xiao'e?
At this time, the gloomy aura between Xie Xiao'e's brows and eyes had dissipated, and the true energy in her body had actually improved. It seemed that she had avenged her revenge, and her thoughts were clear, which made Sun Ran very happy.
However, he was relieved, but he didn't want to interact with this girl again. So he turned around and backed away.
Xie Xiao'e was already a second-rate expert with sharp eyes. When she saw a familiar figure flashing in front of her, she recognized it immediately and hurriedly shouted: "Master!"
"Your eyes are so poisonous?" Sun Ran was shocked, ignored him, turned around and walked away very fast.
Xie Xiao'e stepped forward to keep up. She had sworn a long time ago to serve her master for the rest of her life. This belief is as strong as revenge. People in heaven and earth are based on the word "righteousness". Since they have sworn, how can they break their promises?
There were many pedestrians on the streets of Chang'an. Due to the requirements of the three principles of order, in order to avoid affecting the game experience of the majority of players, Sun Ran could not use Taoism, so he used martial arts and ran quickly.
Although Sun Ran does not attach great importance to martial arts, it does not mean that he will neglect the practice of martial arts. He is a person who either doesn't do it or he will do his best.
In terms of pure martial arts, in this world, Sun Ran can only be described as a great master.
Although Xie Xiao'e has practiced martial arts hard for many years and has reached a second-rate level, which is very powerful for ordinary people, she is still not good enough in front of the great master.
In the crowd, Sun Ran moved around so fast that he was about to escape Xie Xiao'e's sight in half a cup of tea.
Xiao'e ran as fast as she could. Seeing that her master was about to leave again, she felt anxious and sad. She shouted sadly: "Master, don't you want to be your disciple?"
She is a true-hearted person, and her true feelings are revealed at this time, and her voice is as sad as a cuckoo weeping blood, making people want to cry when they hear it.
Sun Ran's heart suddenly shook. His speed slowed down, and finally he stopped. He sighed in his heart: "My brother is too soft-hearted, and he will never be able to become a hero."
He understood the truth, otherwise he wouldn't be able to teach that monster Li Shimin, but when faced with various situations and the final choice he made, Sun Ran never did anything wrong.
As a person, he doesn't like to be cruel and ruthless, and likes to act according to circumstances. This is just his nature.
In an instant, Xiao'e rushed to Sun Ran's side, with a smile on her face and tears on her face, showing that she was extremely excited: "Master, Xiao'e's blood revenge has been avenged, and she has no worries. I am willing to follow him for the rest of my life."
Shen Lan and Shen Chun were uncles and nephews, and they were just third-rate warriors. Facing her Hunyuan Kung, they couldn't resist her. One of them sent her on the road with just one sword blow.
After her revenge, the spiritual support that had supported her in the past disappeared, and she had no relatives in the world except a master who she had lived with for eight years.
Although when she was by the Wei River, her master said that her fate was over and left, she still couldn't let him go, so she searched all the way, and sure enough, she met him in Chang'an City.
Sun Ran was extremely depressed in his heart. Looking at the beautiful face of his female apprentice, which was full of crystal clear and tender and almost watery, he sighed: "You are still young, only twenty-three years old. You are in the prime of your life, why waste your time?"
Is it about my teacher? You’d better leave.”
It was already annoying enough that he had Xiaoqian dragged along with him, but now he was about to drag another one along, and he didn't even know how.
Thinking back on what I have done in the past, I sat down at the table every day and there would be delicious food. After I finished eating, I would throw the bowl away and someone would wash it. When my clothes were dirty and torn, I would throw them on the ground and someone would starch them and mend them.
If the cave gets a little dirty, someone will clean it and keep it clean. The teapot is always full of boiling water. Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about anything. Although he lives in a cave, he is a typical second-generation ancestor.
Apart from teaching some trivial martial arts, he has reduced his affection as much as possible. Why is this female apprentice still entangled with him? I can't figure it out. Could it be that she likes to serve others by nature?
This is not right, no one likes this.
Occasionally, Sun Ran could still hear her nagging. For example, when eating, she would ask him to keep the bluestone floor clean and not to spit the leftover bones directly on the ground, but in the bowl, so as not to make it difficult to clean.
, and also attract mosquitoes.
"My disciple has sworn not to marry for the rest of his life, but only wants to support his master until he grows old." Xiao'e looked very determined.
"Xiao'e, I already said that our fate is over. If you follow me, I feel uncomfortable. If I don't feel comfortable, I won't be happy. Can you go, okay?" Sun Ran almost begged.
If Xiao'e is also an order maintainer, then he will never chase people away, he will just follow them, and he will wholeheartedly take care of his daily life, how wonderful.
But the other party is a player, oh, this is no longer fun. As the saying goes, love will inevitably arise over time, and the person who is unclear will be another dragster. Sun Ran has already fallen into Xiaoqian's body once, how can he dare to do it again?
?
"How can the master say that? The disciple has the martial arts taught by the master and carries the sword given by the master. How can it be said that the fate is over? If it is really over, master, please abolish the disciple's martial arts and take back the sword!"
Xiao'e had a determined look on her face. She knelt down on the ground in the downtown area and raised the Qiu Shui Sword above her head with both hands. She had an expression that said I will follow you unless you abolish my martial arts skills.
"Why are you doing this?" Sun Ran saw many people watching around him and hurriedly reached out to pull Xiao'e.
Unexpectedly, Xiao'e didn't get up. She knelt down and cried: "Master, you don't know how to take care of yourself. Look at you. It's only been a few days. Your clothes are torn and no one has mended them. You don't know how to wash your face when it's dirty."
I have lost weight and my hair is messy. My disciple feels uncomfortable looking at it."
For eight years, she has taken care of Sun Ran's life. Her feelings for Sun Ran are very complicated, including respect for the master, but also a maternal nature that is strangely similar to that of a wife serving her husband. Or a mother takes care of her son, and a sister takes care of her younger brother.
emotion.
She couldn't explain this feeling clearly, but whenever she thought about Sun Ran's life when she was alone, it must have been extremely difficult, and she felt distressed.
Sun Ran realized his apprentice's feelings, fell silent, and quietly contacted Chang'e: "Do you think I can abolish her martial arts?"
This is the Order's active harm to the player. Although he knows the answer, he has to ask clearly so that he can give up.
Chang'e giggled: "She practiced martial arts by herself. She wakes up early every day and works hard at night. Why do you want to abolish her martial arts? Just because you have food to open your mouth and clothes to stretch out your hands in eight years?"
Obviously, you can't.
So, Sun Ran let out a long sigh. He bent down and helped Xie Xiao'e up: "Silly apprentice, get up. I won't drive you away as a master."
Is it just to serve him till he is old? Who is afraid of whom? When he has free time, he will commit suicide. Once this body is finished, this debt will be finished as well.
The thought of suicide just started, but was rejected by Sun Ran: "If I commit suicide, this stupid disciple must think that she forced me to death. Although she is indeed the one who forced me to death, she will definitely feel extremely guilty for doing so, and she may even commit suicide."
Follow me. When you exit the game, the memory barrier disappears, and you know the truth about being fooled, you will definitely be disgraced.'
"How much time does Xiao'e have to play?" Sun Ran asked again.
"She is an ordinary player. She paid 50,000 credits and bought an eighty-year lifespan." Chang'e smiled mischievously.
"Long live." Sun Ran smiled bitterly. Now there are still more than fifty years to go...
On this side, when Xiao'e saw that her master had agreed, she burst into tears and smiled. She put away the Qiu Shui Sword, then stretched out her hand to straighten Sun Ran's collar out of habit, and complained: "Look at you, you have become such a mess after not seeing each other for a few days."
Sun Ran was quite used to this action, but for some reason today, he felt that something was wrong with the way passers-by looked at him.
By the way, this apprentice is too close to him. They are both young people and similar in age. Sun Ran's body is thirty years old and Xiao'e's is twenty-three, so they don't look like master and apprentice at all.
Sure enough, Sun Ran heard the comments from passers-by.
"This is not a master and a disciple. I look like a mandarin duck."
"Oh, today's young people are really becoming less and less respectful of teachers. They actually flirted with this matter at a young age. I think back then when I met my beautiful wife, I didn't dare to say a word."
Xiao'e also heard it, her body froze, her face and neck suddenly turned red, she forced herself to straighten Sun Ran's collar, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Master, where do you live now?"
"Laifu Inn... I didn't pay for it, it was a friend I met on the road." Sun Ran told the truth.
"Don't worry, I got back the money and belongings that were robbed back then, including one hundred gold. I'll go to the Laifu Inn too. Let's go."
She couldn't stay here anymore. Just now she just wanted to stay with her master and didn't feel anything. Now she heard the gossip in her ears. Although she had a clear conscience, she was thin-skinned and couldn't bear it.
So, Sun Ran took Xiao'e back to Laifu Inn.
…
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Yue.
Chuchen was busy packing her luggage. She had already decided that tonight, she would escape from the Yue Kingdom Palace and follow Li Lang.
She felt that she was definitely not wrong about the person. This Li Jing was clear-headed and energetic, with a firm and resolute look in his eyes. He was a man of love and loyalty. Moreover, after listening to his words today, she found that his insights were unique and exquisite, and his martial arts skills were top-notch. He would have a great future in the future.
