Chapter 19 Cellar
"Bring the sword! I, Gu Yan, like cheerful people."
The woman who called herself Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and shouted loudly. Although her voice was a bit thick, it was really a woman's voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately threw a sword to Yu Qinglan. Yu Qinglan took it, took it out and glanced at it. It was just a very rough iron sword. It had not been sharpened for an unknown period of time, and there was still some rust on it.
Yu Qinglan held a sword flower in her hand and curled her lips. She didn't look very satisfied, but she still thanked the person who threw the sword to him.
Xu Fu never thought about letting Yu Qinglan take action. Just when he was about to open his mouth to stop him, he found that the figure in front of him flickered and Yu Qinglan had disappeared. When he turned around and looked again, he found that he had rushed in front of Gu Yan with the speed of his footwork, and met him. Gu Yan handed over.
As soon as Yu Qinglan made a move, he swung out his sword moves like a gust of wind and rain. He looked dazzled. It was obviously a very superb swordsmanship.
The smile on Gu Yan's face instantly disappeared. He didn't expect that this stunned Qing could be so powerful, and he quickly drew his sword to receive the attack.
Yu Qinglan's attack was so fast that Gu Yan had no chance to attack. He could only hold on to his vital points clumsily, and several holes were quickly added to his coat.
Gu Yan can be regarded as someone who has been on the tip of a knife. She has fought life and death battles more times than she can count on both hands. She has extremely rich experience in fighting enemies. In addition, she has good sword skills. Only then can she sit in the fourth position of the Yuntian Gang as a daughter.
At this time, Gu Yan was quite helpless in this situation. She was taking the epee route. The blade was broad and heavy, and it was originally slower. Facing Qinglan's swift attack, she could only parry with all her strength and wait for the opportunity.
Yu Qinglan didn't let her wait for the chance. He had never made a heavy move because of the loan of the sword. After more than ten moves, Yu Qinglan found that this man still refused to throw in the sword and admit defeat. She got a little impatient and just struck the sword casually. Gu Yan's sword-holding arm was scratched.
Ordinary people would loosen their hands due to pain when their arms were injured, but Gu Yan didn't even frown. Even though the injured arm was bleeding profusely, she still firmly guarded her center, Yu Qinglan could see Stayed for a while.
In a duel between masters, the slightest distraction will reveal flaws. Gu Yan has experienced hundreds of battles, so naturally he will not miss such an opportunity, and slashes at Qinglan's shoulder with a backhand sword.
Gu Yan was originally tall and had long arms, and with a sword blade that was more than four feet long, even Yu Qinglan, who was extremely fast, had no time to dodge, so he had to block this move.
But if he really used his sword to block, it would hit Gu Yan's arms. Gu Yan had long seen that Yu Qinglan's arm strength was far inferior to his own, and even if the sword was blocked, it would be enough to knock him down.
Seeing that Gu Yan's sword edge was about to cut off half of Yu Qinglan's shoulder, Yu Qinglan just instinctively raised her arms and closed her eyes in panic.
Xu Fu was far away at this time, and it was too late to step forward.
With a "pop" sound, Yu Qinglan sat down on the ground. The expected scene of flying flesh and blood did not appear. Xu Fu looked carefully. It was Gu Yan who twisted the edge of the sword before cutting Yu Qinglan, which was equivalent to using the blade of the sword. The pat was on Qinglan's shoulder.
Gu Yan's strength is not outstanding, even with this slap, Yu Qinglan, who originally looked a little thin, was slapped to the ground, covering his shoulders and grinning.
Xu Fu hurried forward and glanced at Gu Yan warily, but Gu Yan turned around, took out a porcelain bottle and poured a few pills into his mouth, chewed them up and applied them to the wound on his right arm, and then pulled out a pill from his arms. He twisted a piece of cloth around twice and said, "He won." Then he walked out without looking back.
Before Xu Fu could respond, he saw a flash of silver light. Xu Fu subconsciously reached out and grabbed a silver dart in his hand.
There was actually a sneak attack in the hall, which immediately wiped out any trace of gratitude Xu Fu had towards Gu Yan.
"Whose escort? Get out." Xu Fu yelled angrily. The escort just went straight to Yu Qinglan's door. If Xu Fu hadn't taken action, Yu Qinglan would not have been able to escape. This kind of taking advantage of others' danger made Xu Fu angry. Medium fever.
"Do you want it?"
Seeing no one responded, Xu Fu glanced at Yu Qinglan, who was about to shed tears, and asked.
"Leave me alone, find the one with the hidden weapon and beat him to death." Yu Qinglan said angrily, covering her shoulders.
Seeing that Yu Qinglan could stand up, Xu Fu felt reassured and took a look at the dark hall, which looked like a bottomless cave. It was a bit eerie and made people feel panic.
There happened to be a smooth stone table the size of a millstone in the open space. Next to the table were several exquisite stone piers. Xu Fu picked up a stone pier, weighed it, waved and threw it into the hall.
In front of Shidun, the wooden wall of the hall seemed to be made of paper, with a big hole smashed directly into it, and then a scream came from inside.
"Okay!" Yu Qinglan cheered loudly, covering her shoulders. This shout seemed to involve the injury on her shoulders, and she squatted down in pain.
Xu Fu glanced at Yu Qinglan, and then picked up another stone pier.
The stone pier was polished with bluestone and looked thicker than Yu Qinglan's waist, weighing at least a hundred pounds. However, in Xu Fu's hands, the stone pier was like a plaything and could be thrown several feet away.
However, the stone piers thrown by Xu Fu for the second time flew into the air, so that the stone piers flying out of the hall hit each other firmly, making a crisp sound, and each broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.
"Little brother, you are so strong! I admire you Zhu."
Along with the voice, a person walked out of the hall. The first person was short and squat, with a fat head and big ears, and a red nose that looked a little funny.
"Is this the leader of the Yuntian Gang?" Xu Fu was a little surprised. This was very different from the fierce appearance of the Yuntian Gang leader in his mind.
Behind him, several more people followed him out. One of them was tall and thin, with extremely small eyes and a cold face. He was playing with a short silver dart in his hand. He should be the person who placed the hidden weapon.
There was another person with his arm hanging on his left side, his right hand holding a broken section of the back of the chair, one foot raised, and an angry look on his face staring at Xu Fu. It was Zhang Erhu who had dealt with him before. Judging from his posture, he should have been beaten by Xu Fu. The stone pier that was thrown just now hit his foot, which was quite unlucky.
The last person is the most inconspicuous, but also the weirdest. He is wearing a black tights in broad daylight, with his hands in his sleeves, and a black turban mask on his face. His eyes are slightly closed, and he stands quietly behind the three of them, like a shadow. .
"Who is Zhu Ye?" Xu Fu shouted loudly.
"I'm Zhu Ye." The short fat man who walked out first said very politely with a smile on his face: "I wonder why the two young heroes came here?"
"There are old and new grudges, which one do you want to hear?" Yu Qinglan answered first, covering her shoulders.
"You two and I are strangers to each other, how can we have any old or new grudges?"
"Your men stealing my things is an old grudge."
"Zhu has failed to discipline him well. When I find out, he will be severely punished. What is this new enemy?"
"That... that... woman just now hurt me, this is a new revenge!"
"When fighting, it is inevitable that each other will be injured. Didn't you also stab her?"
"Then your gang preys on the common people, runs rampant and brings disaster to one party, what else do you have to say?"
"I led my brothers through life and death, destroyed other gangs, and killed and injured many brothers. Now that I have given the people of Shangyang peace, I can't just kill the donkey." Zhu Ye spoke with reason and evidence, and Yu Qinglan Stunned and speechless.
Yu Qinglan was at a loss for words, her face turned red and she couldn't say anything, but she still felt uncomfortable in her heart. If her shoulder hadn't been injured, she would have wanted to go up with the sword and give the short fat man a hundred swords.
Xu Fu was quite emotional on the side. Compared to Zhu Ping, the unattractive Zhu Ye in front of him was more dignified as a gang leader.
"My brother is young and energetic, please don't be offended, gang leader." Seeing that Yu Qinglan was speechless, Xu Fu hurriedly excused himself. After some argument, the two of them became the unreasonable party.
"This little brother is amazingly powerful. I wonder if you are interested in joining our Yuntian Gang?" Zhu Ye looked at Xu Fu and smiled slightly, being extremely humble and completely ignoring Zhang Erhu who was gnashing his teeth behind him.
"I have long heard that Yuntian is a gangster and thirsty for talents, so I came here because of his fame." Xu Fu said with a smile.
"Huh, what a person who came here because of his fame!" Zhang Erhu hated Xu Fu in his heart and said angrily from the side.
"If we don't show our hands, how can the gang leader know our methods?" Xu Fu said lightly.
"If the little brother really wants to join our gang, it will be a blessing to our Yuntian Gang, and the previous grievances will naturally be wiped out." Zhu Ye spoke to let Xu Fu not have any worries, and personally stepped forward to invite Xu Fu into the hall to speak.
Xu Fu turned around and gave Yu Qinglan a wink, and then followed Zhu Ye into the front hall. Yu Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and followed him with the iron sword.
The hall was a bit messy. The stone block Xu Fu threw in not only crushed two chairs, but also made a big hole in the ground.
Zhu Ye seemed not to notice and invited Xu Fu to sit down on the other side. Zhang Erhu did not come in and went somewhere unknown.
The only people left in the hall were Zhu Ye, the tall and thin man playing darts, and the man in black. This man in black was probably Zhu Ye's bodyguard. He had been following Zhu Ye every step of the way. When Zhu Ye sat down, he stood silently behind Zhu Ye.
"As long as you nod, brother, you will have a top position in this cloud paradise." Zhu Ye looked at Xu Fu with a sincere face and smiled lightly.
"The villain Huang Dafu, who has neither father nor mother since he was a child, has been born with strength. He has learned alchemy for a few days, but he has no talent or virtue and can still be so appreciated by the gang leader. If I refuse again, it is really disrespectful and disrespectful. It is a pity..." Xu Fu was about to speak but stopped.
"What's the pity?" Zhu Ye was even more surprised when he heard that Xu Fu could make alchemy. Although the Yuntian Gang seemed to be prosperous for a while, they were just a mob. Not only was this group of people difficult to control, but it was also difficult to get things done. He had to do a lot of detailed work himself. Now, taking advantage of the prosperity of the Alchemy Society in Shangyang City, Zhu Ye also hoped to attract a few young talents to join the Yuntian Gang so that he could share the worries for himself. It would be best if we could win over an alchemist.
"I'm really powerless. I accidentally took the elixir a few days ago. I didn't know that my cultivation level was too low and I couldn't refine it. My meridians might burst and die at any time!" Xu Fu's words were not false. He spoke them with sincerity. , "If he can get help from his gang leader, Huang Dafu will ride the horse in front and behind him, doing the work of the dog and horse."
"Then what can Zhu do?" Zhu Ye did not agree immediately, but just frowned and asked.
"An alchemist once told me that in such situations, it is necessary to use spiritual pills or heavenly materials and earthly treasures to temper the meridians and expand the sea of qi, so that the body will not explode and die." Xu Fu replied.
"That's all? Hahahaha..." Zhu Ye laughed a few times, "We, the Yuntian Gang, have been rooted in Shangyang City for many years. Nothing else. We still have some elixirs in stock. As long as Brother Huang doesn't dislike it, he can use it at will."
After saying this, Zhu Ye stood up and invited Xu Fu to go to a cellar behind the hall. There were several people guarding the entrance of the cellar. Zhu Ye ordered the guards to open the stone slab covering the entrance, and a scent of medicine immediately hit his face.
"I won't go down anymore." Yu Qinglan looked at the dark cellar entrance and curled her lips.
"Then wait for me." Xu Fu said and gave Yu Qinglan a gesture, which was what they had agreed on before, meaning to run away quickly when there was an opportunity.
Although Yu Qinglan didn't know what medicine Xu Fu sold in the gourd, she nodded slightly.
Xu Fu also kept an eye on it, in case Zhu Ye wanted to harm the two of them, with Yu Qinglan's body skills, it shouldn't be difficult to escape in the open space, but if he entered the cellar, there was no idea of any traps inside. It's not easy to get out.
In fact, if it weren't for Li Danxin's analysis of Qixin Dan, Xu Fu would not have taken the risk. He originally just wanted to see if he could get some medicinal materials, but he didn't expect Zhu Ye to be so generous and take him directly to the medicine storehouse to choose.
Now it's hard to get off the tiger. If you don't get off, it will only show that you are guilty. You can only take one step at a time. If there happens to be a suitable elixir in this cellar, you will make a lot of money.
Although Zhu Ye also liked Yu Qinglan's swordsmanship, he was not optimistic about the young man's impulsiveness. Seeing that he was unwilling to enter the cellar, he did not say anything. He made a "please" gesture to Xu Fu and left first. Go down.
Xu Fu glanced at Yu Qinglan again and followed him down the cellar. Finally, there was the man in black. The man in black was behind Xu Fu. Xu Fu always felt like a hare being stared at by a falcon. He felt uncomfortable and forced. He endured it and didn't look back, but he didn't let down his guard at all.
The further you go down, the stronger the fragrance of the medicine becomes. It has to be said that using a cellar to store medicinal materials is indeed an excellent way. Without the sun and wind, it is indeed easier to store elixirs.
There are no lights under the cellar, but there are several luminous pearls inlaid on the walls. The weak light makes the cellar dark and a bit penetrating.
"Brother Huang, this is the medicine storehouse of our Yuntian Gang. Use whatever you need." Zhu Ye said, stopping and stepping aside to let Xu Fu search for it on his own.
Xu Fu was not polite, thanked him, and began to look for the medicine. He needed the elixir so much now.
There is a corridor in the middle of this cellar, and rooms are dug out on both sides. It looks quite large, and I don't know how much manpower was spent.
Xu Fu walked into the nearest room and found spaces on the wall that were filled with various medicinal materials. Each space was inlaid with luminous pearls, making it easy to check.
There were six rooms in total. After Xu Fu looked around, he found that the cellar seemed mysterious, but at best it was similar to the medicine warehouse of a large drug store. It only contained some ordinary medicinal materials, such as ginseng as thick as an arm and Ganoderma lucidum as big as a basin. Although The quality is all top-notch, but you can still buy it for a little money outside, but there are no spiritual items of fourth grade or above.
"Brother Huang, are you not interested?" Seeing Xu Fu walking out of the last room in frustration, Zhu Ye hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.
"With all due respect, although these medicinal materials are of high quality, they can't save me." Xu Fu sighed: "I'd better look elsewhere!"
"Brother Huang, wait a minute. Since he is my brother, I won't hide anything from you. Come with me." Seeing that Xu Fu was about to leave, Zhu Ye hesitated for a moment and then led Xu Fu to the end of the corridor.
I saw Akeno press his hand on an inconspicuous place on the wall. The small piece of wall immediately dented half an inch, and then the entire wall began to rotate slowly, revealing a gap that could only allow one person to pass through.
There is actually a secret room in this cellar?
