There’s No Such Thing as Love in a Swordsman’s Heart

Chapter 40: Return to origin

Views:

There was too much noise all around, and Jiang Su didn't hear Li Hanshan's words clearly amid the continuous bombardment of thunderbolts.

He only listened in a trance, then shouted at Li Hanshan, "Ah? What? You want me to use you?"

He Lingcheng: "..."

Hua Shiqing: "… "

Li Hanshan also shouted back: "Can't I use it!"

Jiang Su couldn't help but think about Li Hanshan's martial arts. He was almost healed from his injuries. With his current martial arts, of course, it was very useful. After all, Wu Qi's thunderbolts were dead objects, so how could Li Hanshan come here well? What to use

Jiang Su nodded, and also gave Li Hanshan a thumbs up, earnestly praising: "Of course you are easy to use! You are the best!"

Li Hanshan was satisfied.

He couldn't help but smile on his face, smug, but he didn't know that He Lingcheng and the other three people looked at him with strange expressions, but there was the sentence He Lingcheng just said before, Hua Shiqing and Xue old man did not Dare to break the matter, you can only hold back the thoughts in your heart, turn your head, and focus on watching Wu Qi blast the wall.

The stone wall couldn't stand such intense and intense firepower, and it had been blasted into a small hole, enough for a few people to squeeze through, but the direction corresponding to this hole was not a ghost market, but more like a ghost market. It leads to the small courtyard behind the high-rise building where the owner of the ghost city lives.

It's just that now this small courtyard is empty, not even a guard can be seen, and the owner of the ghost market doesn't know where to go.

In fact, Jiang Su didn't have to kill the owner of this ghost market. Anyway, Hua Shiqing had already found him. He wished to leave this very strange place earlier, but he didn't know the way to leave. After the fish was eaten, if he couldn't find a person who knew the way, he would never dare to enter the fog at will.

He could only try to find the trace of the owner of the ghost market in the courtyard, or to find someone in the ghost market, but at this time the courtyard was silent and very strange, Jiang Su faintly felt that something was wrong, except for the gathering in the courtyard, outside The city also seemed to be extremely quiet, and just now they bombed the stone wall and made such a big movement, didn't the outsiders notice it, didn't it feel strange at all

And Hua Shiqing followed them, took a few steps forward, and suddenly, as if remembering something, murmured: "They won't... have left?"

Jiang Su then remembered that the ghost market is not a fixed place, it changes back and forth between several places, and most of the people in the ghost market are used to walking around with the ghost market. The city owner suddenly ordered that in a short period of time, it is not impossible for all of them to evacuate, but if this is the case, how can they leave from here without anyone leading the way

Jiang Su did not continue to delay in this courtyard, but bypassed the small courtyard and planned to take a look at the market.

Hua Shiqing's guess is true, there is no one person in the market, not only that, those stalls have been evacuated in a hurry, and there are even many things that are too late to take away.

The surroundings were even more messy, and it could be seen that these people were walking in a hurry, and even when they were looking towards the ferry at this moment, they could still see a few scattered lights, obviously they had not yet caught up with the people who boarded the boat.

It's just that even if someone hasn't had time to leave, it's too late for Jiang Su.

When he rushes to the ferry from here, I am afraid that those people have already boarded the boat, and they will continue to seek a living under the master of the ghost market. There is no place in this world other than the ghost market that can accommodate them. They had nowhere to go, so naturally they didn't dare to offend the owner of the ghost market, so they wouldn't easily tell Jiang Su the way they left.

Jiang Su had a headache.

The rest of the people remained silent, but they seemed to have prepared for the worst, only He Lingcheng pulled Old Man Xue, forcing him to keep up with them, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Xue Ba, you used to be the bow of the boat. Bar?"

Old man Xue was still stubborn: "...I didn't!"

He Lingcheng raised his eyebrows: "When I entered the ghost market in the early years, it was clearly your boat."

"So what?" Old Man Xue scolded, "I can't take you out!"

Jiang Su felt that he saw the hope of leaving this broken place earlier.

He simply stopped and asked the old man Xue curiously, "What mistake did you make to come to this ghost market?"

"What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong!" Old man Xue insisted, "I like ghost markets so much, of course I came here because I was invited by the master—"

He Lingcheng interrupted him silently and said, "He was drunk, and at the wedding banquet of the head of the Ningshan Sect, he was holding a hen. Who should be better than that hen in light work."

Jiang Su: "..."

"Shut up!" Old Man Xue shouted in horror, "I'm drunk! Isn't it inevitable to do strange things when I'm drunk!"

He Lingcheng: "He still lost."

Old Man Xue: "..."

Jiang Su: "..."

Jiang Su: "Pfft..."

Old man Xue silently covered his face and squatted into the corner.

Jiang Su thought that those who entered this ghost market were all heinous thugs, who had done all kinds of murder and arson, and were chased and killed by countless people outside, so they had no choice but to hide in the ghost market.

He really did not expect that in the ghost market, there are people who hid in the ghost market because of the death of the society.

Jiang Su thought about it seriously and began to persuade old man Xue.

"It's not a shame to lose to a chicken." Jiang Su coughed and said, "Don't you want to go back to Jianghu to take a look?"

Old Man Xue covered his face more tightly, feeling aggrieved, and muttered, "When others see me, they will laugh at me."

"No one will laugh at you." Jiang Su said seriously, "You have been away from Jianghu for so many years, and when you go back, they will only feel embarrassed that you haven't seen you for many years, but it's just a joke after dinner, no one will take it to heart.”

"You said it all!" Old Man Xue was very persistent, "It's a joke!"

Jiang Su: "Who hasn't done something stupid, I also—"

Jiang Su seriously recalled the embarrassing things he had done. He really couldn't think of anything that could be compared with Ji Biqing Gong, so he had to turn his head and look at Li Hanshan, He Lingcheng and others, waiting for them to give him some ideas.

Li Hanshan couldn't think of anything embarrassing about him.

His childhood was almost tied to the sword. The only embarrassing thing he didn't want to think about was that he cheated Xie Zeli in order to steal sugar. He could only shake his head and look at He Lingcheng. He Lingcheng was also trying to remember, but he couldn't think of anything. When they came out, the two finally looked at Wu Qi together. He Lingcheng suddenly remembered something, and said, "When he first came to my teaching, he couldn't use chopsticks, and he could only eat with his hands."

Wu Qi: "..."

Old Man Xue: "What kind of embarrassment is this!"

He Lingcheng: "Don't look at others tall and big, he likes to keep cats!"

Old Man Xue covered his face tightly, still very resistant: "Who doesn't like cats."

"What a big deal to lose to a chicken!" He Lingcheng said indifferently, "He lost to his cat!"

Regardless, tigers and lions are cats, and big cats are cats too!

Wu Qi: "..."

Xue old man's eyes lit up, raised his head to look at Wu Qi.

Jiang Su hurriedly said: "Look, he also did such a stupid and embarrassing thing, but he is still the left guardian of the demon sect. So many people in the wicked way admire him, and no one will speak ill of him."

Wu Qi: "..."

Wu Qi didn't open his mouth to explain, but walked to the front in a muffled voice, as if he wanted to go to the ferry to see if there were any free boats.

When Jiang Su saw that old man Xue's attitude was relaxed and improved, he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said, "This river and lake is so big, don't you want to go out and take a look?"

Old Man Xue: "..."

Old Man Xue was silent for a long time, full of hesitation, but Hua Shiqing looked left and right, stepped forward cautiously, got close to Old Man Xue, and whispered a few words to him.

What he said was similar to Jiang Su and the others, but he was persuading old man Xue to forget the past, but it was such a simple sentence, but old man Xue slowly changed his face, his eyes were a little confused, and he seemed to be thinking deeply. After a long while, he took a step forward, but said in his mouth: "I know the way, but there is nothing I can do about the fish in this river."

Jiang Su was not worried about the fish in the river.

With Wuqi, a thunderbomb fish expert, what fish are they afraid of!

There is nothing wrong with the size of the strange fish, but he doesn't believe that this strange fish can hold the explosives in Wu Qi's hands.

The group went to the shore. Fortunately, the owner of the ghost market was in a hurry to evacuate, and they did not have time to sink all the boats in the future. However, as soon as they got to the shore, they saw the strange fish that was still in the fog swimming around the ferry. , apparently the owner of the ghost market ordered them to come here to prevent Jiang Su and the others from leaving.

Looking at the fish, Jiang Su felt panic in his heart. He didn't dare to get too close to the shore, and the boat was parked on the shore. Wu Qi was worried that the thunderbolt would damage the boat. With those fish, he jumped far away from the shore, and then he started his fish frying business.

Jiang Su sat on the bank and watched.

He felt that Wu Qi was worthy of being a master at frying fish for many years. Jiang Su admired this set of actions so smoothly.

He saw several people-high splashes exploded under the water surface, and the big fish fell like a splash. After a while, countless corpses of strange fish floated under the water surface, turning their white belly over, Wu Qi even came back with a few heads. He didn't seem to dislike the appearance of this fish at all, but he was really reluctant to see the fish's sturdy and plump body.

Jiang Su felt that he had completely changed his mind on Wu Qi.

After Wu Qi cleaned up the fish on the shore, he turned back to the shore and threw the fish in his hand onto the boat. Seeing the surprised expressions of the crowd, he reluctantly explained, "Feed the cat."

He Lingcheng: "...Aren't you afraid of poison?"

Wu Qi: "Waste."

He Lingcheng: "But if it's poisonous..."

Wu Qi: "Cook it and it's good."

He Lingcheng: "..."

Jiang Su has quietly launched another boat, refusing to ride with the strange fish.

Li Hanshan naturally followed him. Old man Xue was about to row a boat, got on the bow of the boat, and turned his head. He seemed to be worried that Hua Shiqing would fall, so he stretched out his hand to help him. Jiang Su couldn't help frowning. The old man's behavior was somewhat strange.

He Lingcheng also stuffed the bamboo pole of the boat to Wu Qi, let him solve it by himself, and then climbed into Jiang Su's boat, leaving Wu Qi alone standing in the middle of the strange fish's body, rowing aggrievedly. ferry.

But after a while, Wu Qi felt happy.

He's the only one on the boat, doesn't that mean that he can carry a few more fish back

While rowing the boat, he was fishing for the body of the strange fish. He was in a happy mood, and he didn't care about the eyes of the other people. Old Man Xue was shocked by his actions, thinking that such a person could become the left guardian of the devil religion that everyone admired. , then what is it that he and the chicken compete lightly

His rowing movements couldn't be more brisk, and it didn't take much time for everyone to leave the fog and come to the river outside.

Hua Shiqing carefully lowered his cloak to cover his face, but he couldn't help looking around curiously. It happened that the sun was rising in the east. He hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and he couldn't open his eyes. He wore a mask and did not dare to show his face. , Even his fingertips had to be carefully hidden under the cloak, but he couldn't help staring at Chu Yang carefully. Seeing Jiang Su looking back, he couldn't help but smile with Jiang Su and said, "Thank you."

After saying this, he remembered that Jiang Su couldn't see his smile, but Jiang Su had turned his head, stood on the bow of the boat with his sword in his arms, and waved his hand, which was considered a response.

Hua Shiqing looked at his back, as if he had seen the heroes in the legendary stories he had heard since childhood—

How could he forget that Jiang Su was originally a famous knight.

The boat docked and everyone got off the boat. He Lingcheng raised his hand to bid farewell to Jiang Su and Li Hanshan for the time being.

Wait, he came to the ghost market... what is he here for

He Lingcheng: "..."

Done.

He didn't ask the owner of the ghost market about the whereabouts of the antidote at all, and he completely offended the owner of the ghost market, and the hatred that he forged could even be regarded as a dead end, and the owner of the ghost market might not want to be willing in the next life. Speak to the people of their holy religion.

He Lingcheng had a headache.

He watched Jiang Su and the others leave, then turned around and looked at Wu Qi.

"What happened in the ghost city." He Lingcheng's expression was serious, almost intimidating, "You know I know the young master, you must not tell the leader, do you understand!"

Wu Qi was immersed in the joy of the harvest, no matter what He Lingcheng said, he just nodded happily.

Ah, the Central Plains, there are lakes, rivers, good places.

Such a big fish, so good!

Hua Shiqing is not very good at horseback riding, nor can he see the sun, and if the wind lifts his cloak while riding, Jiang Su is worried that his strange disease will recur on the spot.

When they returned to the nearby town, Jiang Su hired a carriage, and the speed of going back was a little slower. When he was outside Changning City, before he could go to Linlang Pavilion, he saw Fang Yuanluo waiting anxiously at the gate of the city. When he came back, he was relieved.

Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the ghost market is dangerous. Jiang Su and Li Hanshan are only two people. He always worried that the two of them will be bullied by the people in the ghost market. Now that they are safe, it seems that they have brought someone back, and he is relieved. With a sigh, he followed Jiang Su on horseback and asked, "Have you got the key?"

Jiang Su nodded and said, "I can't tell the truth from the fake, maybe I have to ask Master Bai to inspect the goods."

Hua Shiqing heard Jiang Su and the others talking in the carriage, and carefully opened the curtain to a small gap, and said to Jiang Su, "The key should be real."

According to what he said, the short fat man was the substitute for the owner of the ghost market. In the past, all kinds of commissions accepted in the ghost market had to be reviewed by the owner of the ghost market. However, in recent years, the owner of the ghost market has been a little lazy, Fatty became selfish, at least he didn't tell the owner of the ghost market at first about the key.

He secretly took the job and handed it over to Lu Jiu. He originally wanted to ask him to investigate the person who was entrusted with the entrustment, but all the people who were sent out were thrown away. He already knew that it was dangerous, but he gave so much money. , he really couldn't resist the temptation.

"The owner of the ghost market doesn't want to be in charge?" Jiang Su was a little puzzled, "Then what has he been doing all these years?"

Hua Shiqing: "… "

He was silent for a moment, then put the curtains down, and seemed unwilling to mention this topic, only then did Jiang Su realize that he had said the wrong thing.

Isn't this some Tang literature? If the people inside are interested in something, it goes without saying that they know what it is.

Jiang Su was a little embarrassed, so he just smiled and said, "You will see Lu Jiu soon."

When Lu Jiu was mentioned, Fang Yuanluo couldn't help but said, "That boy surnamed Lu has made Young Master Bai so angry these days."

Jiang Su was startled: "What is he doing with Bai Yusheng?"

"He said that the Linlang Pavilion guards are useless, and it's shameful for the Bai family to come up with such a thing." Fang Yuanluo said, "Master Bai is not convinced, he has to care about him, it's only a few days, Master Bai even has a bellyband They were all stolen by him."

Jiang Su was stunned: "... ah? He still wears a bellyband?"

Li Hanshan was paying attention to another thing.

"Lu Jiu's leg is okay?" Li Hanshan was very puzzled, "Didn't he even break his bones?"

"It's not good." Fang Yuanluo sighed, "That's why Young Master Bai has been so angry these days. You have to be careful when you talk to him later. He's like taking gunpowder, and it ignites at one point."

Jiang Su: "..."

He didn't expect that he had only been away for a few days, and Lu Jiu was already getting along so well in Linlang Pavilion. "

When Fu Wenxiao was mentioned, Fang Yuanluo immediately grimaced and said, "Fu Shenyi was angry when he saw me recently."

Jiang Su was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Fang Yuanluo scratched his head vigorously, very distressed, and said, "His name is so difficult to write! What are his parents thinking, why is every word so difficult!"

Jiang Su: "..."

Speaking of this, Fang Yuanluo seemed to have a stomach full of bitterness. He turned his head and took out a piece of paper from his arms. Obviously, after thinking about these days and nights, he stuffed the paper into Jiang Su's hand and gestured to Jiang Su. Look.

"You can see that what I wrote is not much different." Fang Yuanluo said aggrieved, "But Doctor Fu is very angry."

Jiang Su looked at the piece of paper in silence.

On the top is Fu Wenxiao's handwriting. The three words Fu Wenxiao are written in a neat stroke, and he doesn't even dare to have a pen, for fear that Fang Yuanluo won't understand it.

And below, is Fang Yuanluo's crooked handwriting.

"Fu Wenxiao"

"Night again"

Jiang Su was silent.

What does this write!

Not to mention Fu Wenxiao, if he saw this, he would be angry too.

He could only return the note to Fang Yuanluo, sighed deeply, and said, "Doctor Fu is also for your own good."

"Isn't it just three words, I didn't miss it." Fang Yuanluo scratched his head, very puzzled, "I've never seen him so angry before."

After a few conversations, Hua Shiqing felt that he seemed to have guessed the cause and effect, and when he saw that Jiang Su and Fang Yuanluo were obviously not good at dealing with emotional matters, he carefully opened the curtain again,

He took the initiative and said, "These three words must be extremely important to him."

Fang Yuanluo nodded: "Name, it's important..."

Hua Shiqing: "He hopes that these three words are also very important in your heart."

Fang Yuanluo: "..."

Fang Yuanluo and Jiang Su suddenly had an epiphany.

It turned out to be such a thing!

Fang Yuanluo's hands were trembling. Looking left and right, he took out a charcoal pen from his arms. Without hesitation, he leaned on the horse and began to practice calligraphy. This posture was strange and dangerous. Su frowned and didn't know how to persuade him, and also knew that he should not be able to persuade him, so he turned around, looked at Hua Shiqing, thought about it, and asked, "You and Lu Jiu..."

Hua Shiqing was slightly startled, lowered his head slightly, and seemed a little nervous in his tone. He lowered his voice and said, "Maybe it's not the same as what Jiang Shaoxia thought."

Jiang Su frowned, feeling that Hua Shiqing was a little strange.

"Jiang Shaoxia, I'm not a good person, and I'm also someone who can't stand on the rivers and lakes." Hua Shiqing said softly, "There will be no good people in the ghost market."

Linlang Pavilion was right in front of her, but Hua Shiqing didn't seem to be excited or worried at all.

Jiang Suke remembered that in order to persuade Hua Shiqing to leave the ghost market, so as to give himself a chance to match Hua Shiqing and Lu Jiu, he exaggerated Lu Jiu's injury, saying that Lu Jiu was dying, and Ruo Hua Shi was halal. He is in love with Lu Jiu... Isn't he worried about Lu Jiu

Not what he thought? What's the difference

Jiang Su asked, "Aren't you worried about Lu Jiu?"

Hua Shiqing was silent for a moment, then he could only shake his head and said, "Jiang Shaoxia, I may not be the kind of person you think."

Jiang Su: "..."

"You don't have to ask, you'll know when we meet later." Hua Shiqing whispered, "But... don't worry, I never thought of harming you."

Jiang Su had a vague sense of ominous premonition.

I don't know why, with the fact that the last matchup with Xie Zeli and Lou Yan was a waste of time, Jiang Su always felt that this time, he might not be too smooth.

Linlang Pavilion was already in front of him, Bai Yusheng heard that they had entered the city, and went out with Fu Wenxiao to greet him. Even Lu Jiu was dragged on crutches by him, barely standing by the door, and when he saw Jiang Su, he still endured. He couldn't stop muttering, "Why am I here to pick up the enemy who broke my leg."

Jiang Su glanced at him, Lu Jiu shrank his neck, and was about to hide to the side when he saw Jiang Su turned around and lifted the curtain of the car, and helped Hua Shiqing to walk out of the carriage.

Hua Shiqing wore a cloak to block his face, but Lu Jiu could recognize who it was with just one glance.

He opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe what he saw, and Hua Shiqing also raised his eyes and looked towards Lu Jiu.

This scene is simply the scene of the miserable little lover finally meeting. Jiang Su was just relieved, and was about to explain, when he suddenly saw the familiar red fate system prompt jumping out.

It's just that the prompt this time is different from what he has seen before.

"Warning, due to the host's bizarre behavior, a pair of lovers who were supposed to be in the plot have been successfully separated. The degree of love compatibility: scumbag imprisonment, deep sadomasochistic love."

"Master of the ghost city, Jianghu ranks fifty-two, Hua Shiqing, Jianghu ranks no."

"The system will penalize this behavior, the red edge value is -10, and the current red edge value is 0"

Jiang Su: "..."

Can he reduce this thing? ?

He was stunned, and in a blink of an eye, Hua Shiqing quickly approached Lu Jiu's side, raised his hand to grab Lu Jiu's hand, almost pressed his face to Lu Jiu's face, and was about to kiss him—

Hua Shiqing took another step back.

A bug crawled off Lu Jiu's wrist and suddenly jumped into Hua Shiqing's sleeve, while Hua Shiqing looked at Lu Jiu with guilt and whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be hurt. "

Lu Jiu looked confused and rubbed his head.

"This... I..." Lu Jiu took a few steps back abruptly, distanced himself from Hua Shiqing, and even shook off Hua Shiqing's hand, saying, "You... what are you doing so close to me!"

He patted his head violently again, wishing to throw out the strange thoughts that had just appeared in his mind, his face full of horror, and said: "What happened to me just now... Why do I think so to him... "

Jiang Su: "..."

What the hell is going on here! ! !

Stop playing! angry! Throwing the sword... Forget it, the wife can't fall.

Jiang Su silently held his sword tightly.

In this world full of deceit and disappointment, only his sword can bring him a long-lost warmth.

woohoo.
