Chapter 462: Tianji Pavilion, Swordsman
Liu Qi'er was a troublemaker who was cunning, treacherous, gambling, and aggressive. He was almost a bit of a bitch.
In other words, most of the beggars in Qingrao City are like this. Those who are honest and upright cannot survive.
Liu Qier's eyes darted around, and he had his eyes on Li Changxiao, wondering if he could learn one or two unique skills from this mysterious master.
With my talent, I will definitely be able to learn it quickly.
It would be best if I could find a master or something, maybe soon I could surpass my master... Liu Qier was distracted and daydreaming.
Li Changxiao's voice brought him back to reality.
"As far as you know, where do most of these beggars come from?" Li Changxiao asked casually.
"Since Master has asked, I will tell you the truth."
Liu Qi'er bowed his hands, imitating the flattering gestures of the scholars he saw on the street, and spoke in a very literary tone, even he himself was not aware of the meaning of his words.
It seems out of place and quite ridiculous, and then there is the clumsy calculation of trying to climb up the ladder and thinking oneself clever.
Li Changxiao, who saw through him at a glance, didn't have much good impression of him, but he had seen a lot of people, and there were many people like Liu Qier in the world.
He couldn't even say he hated it.
"The beggars in Qingrao City are either beggars since childhood or refugees from other places who have drifted to Qingrao City."
"There are also some people who have fallen into poverty and become beggars. Although Qingrao City is rich, there are always turbulence in the world. Many people were running small shops a few days ago and were happy and content."
"But who knows what the situation will be like in a month? Maybe their family will be destroyed and they will have to compete with us for food."
"Hehe, maybe that bun shop will be open soon too."
At this point, Liu Qier smiled with a gloating look. As for those words like "the world is turbulent", most of them were learned from the conversations of scholars.
He is just a beggar, how would he know these things?
Li Changxiao didn't mind hearing this, and gave the beggar some general knowledge. He said, "The boss of the bun shop is a kind person, and he is blessed. Although he is not very wealthy, it is not a big problem for him to live the rest of his life safely."
"Master, you still read this?" Liu Qier widened his eyes.
Unconsciously, the title has changed from "Master" to "Master".
Li Changxiao glanced at him sideways, but didn't notice the change at that time. He took a sip of wine and tightened the wine gourd. He was too lazy to pay attention to him, let alone correct him.
He asked Liu Qier to take him to the stronghold quickly and then he was too lazy to say anything else.
When passing by several streets, Li Changxiao suddenly had an inspiration and used some of his spare money to buy many interesting little items.
Since he came to Qingrao City, he did not wander around much. He entered the Jia Mansion on the first day. After leaving the Jia Mansion, he concentrated on finding people and killing people. He was terribly cold-blooded and his efficiency was truly shocking.
After more than 500 years of seeking change, in this era, Li Changxiao's assassination ability is absolutely first-class. If he wants to kill someone, as long as his cultivation is not too high, he can kill him without risk.
Don't look at those mermaids, who fell into his hands again and again. If it were someone else, even if three or five people joined forces, they might not be able to do it.
Mermaids have been notoriously difficult to kill since ancient times. They are smart, cunning, physically strong, able to use dreams, hear magical sounds, and have strong self-healing abilities, which can be strengthened in the river.
These characteristics are enough for them to escape at a very small cost even if they are defeated. If the human race pursues them forcefully, they will end up losing 1,200 of their own people and only injuring 500 of the enemy.
Only Li Changxiao can assassinate people above his level. Dreams cannot deceive his eyes, and his physical body cannot withstand his sword. Although his magic skills are inferior to his, he is better in number.
Back to the topic, Li Changxiao was supposed to find a base, but he saw a shop on the street and his attention was attracted.
On the shop plaque, there are three words "Tianji Pavilion" written. The font is so graceful and skillful that it is sharp yet calm and restrained. There is also a circle of fragrant wood on the edge of the plaque, which emits a faint fragrance and attracts people's attention.
If it were just this, it would naturally not be a big deal. However, at the critical moment, Li Changxiao had extraordinary eyesight and noticed that there were key mechanisms installed on the plaque.
There is a tiny hole in the middle of the word "ji" (machine), which contains a silver needle that can be shot out. There is explosives hidden inside the plaque that can be detonated at any time.
Upon closer inspection, I found that there is much more to the plaque than this. The three characters "Tianji Pavilion" have sharp edges that can scatter blades. Moreover, the blades are full of power and are not meant to be used against mortals. Even warriors would find it difficult to resist.
Unless you are like Zhang Mo, who has obtained the Five Golden Fishes and has the golden body energy to protect him, you would dare to resist.
If you look more closely, it's even more creepy. There are holes in the four corners of the plaque, and poisonous gas is hidden inside.
Upon careful counting, there were more than thirty mechanisms on this plaque alone. Li Changxiao was curious and stopped for a long time.
"Master?" Liu Qier asked.
Li Changxiao ignored him and put the matter of finding a stronghold aside and went straight into the "Tianji Pavilion".
For an ordinary person, the moment he steps over the plaque, his life and death are no longer in his own hands.
Just that plaque, at worst, could blow the house and the tiles away, or at worst, shoot out a silver needle of deadly poison, killing someone silently.
The pavilion was dark and there was a chill in the air, and Liu Qier shuddered.
The Pavilion Master was a thin man with neat short hair, narrow and bright eyes, a slightly sunken nose and slightly protruding teeth. He was fiddling with some instruments at the side.
"What do you want to buy?" The thin man looked up, put down the food in his hand, first glanced at Li Changxiao, and then glanced at Liu Qier beside him.
After Li Changxiao killed the merman, he lost all his true and false feelings. When passers-by saw him, they no longer saw him as a detached, blurry figure, but a very handsome swordsman.
The natural attraction is quite great. Along the way, countless women looked back for a long time, waiting for a long time and unwilling to take a step.
"Hey."
"I said, do you know who my master is? What does your tone mean?"
"It's your honor that my master has visited your shop. Do you have any discounts? Express your gratitude quickly."
"Otherwise I'll smash your store!"
Liu Qier jumped up and cursed.
But the thin man just glanced at him and ignored him completely.
Seeing being ignored like this, Liu Qier became even angrier. He looked around and saw the stool and wanted to pick it up and smash it.
He tried his best but couldn't lift it up at all. The thin man and Li Changxiao ignored him.
Li Changxiao came to the side and bent over to look at the various small objects.
"No discount." The thin man added coldly.
"I know." Li Changxiao smiled slightly, his eyes attracted by something on the wall.
"Tianji Dao...Tianji Dao..." Li Changxiao murmured, "It's really interesting."
When the thin man heard this, he was startled. The person who came was not simple, at least he was a person who could extend his life.
"Which road are you taking?" asked the thin man.
Li Changxiao pondered for a moment and replied, "Tongqiao Dao, warrior."
"Warrior?" The thin man sneered, "Aren't warriors the most arrogant? Why would you come to my little shop?"
"Not necessarily." Li Changxiao replied seriously: "The very powerful warriors I know are not very arrogant."
"And...some time ago, she was almost killed by Tianji Dao's weapons."
"Oh?" The thin man was stunned, and the resentment that had just risen in his heart disappeared invisibly.
He realized that this person was different from other warriors. He didn't have that kind of arrogance, and when facing Tianji Dao, he didn't have that kind of inner sense of superiority.
"By the way, what is the relationship between the swordsman and the Tianji Dao?" Li Changxiao asked curiously while fiddling with a wooden sparrow mechanism.
"You also know how to shoot swordsmen?" the thin man was surprised.
The knowledge of the person in front of him was probably much deeper than he had imagined.
