He even reached out and patted Gu Yi: "Don't be so nervous, it's just a city."
Looking at Li Chungang's casual actions at this moment, he suddenly felt a little dazed - what kind of person was this in front of him, who could be so calm under the pressure of the world's number one city?
The sign of "Yue Lai Inn" swayed in the wind. The word "wine" on the wine flag was darkened by time, but it was still eye-catching.
When the waiter came over, he glanced at the two of them and smiled attentively: "Gentlemen, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"
"Two upper rooms, one meat dish and two vegetable dishes, and a pot of girl's red wine." Li Chungang threw a silver ingot over with smooth movements.
"The wine should be ten years old, and the food should be served quickly."
The guest rooms are not big, but they are clean.
Gu Yi put his luggage away and was about to go downstairs.
But suddenly I heard a noise coming from downstairs.
Someone slammed the table and laughed: "Who is Wang Xianzhi? I came here this time to let him know that there is always someone better than you!"
"Shh—" someone immediately stopped them, "If you want to die, don't drag us down with you! Do you know where this place is?"
Gu Yi moved closer to the window and saw two men drinking at a table downstairs.
The man who was speaking had his chest exposed, a white tiger with bared fangs and claws tattooed on his arm, and a long sword with a black sheath hanging from his waist.
The people around him looked at the man with different expressions, some worried, some disdainful, but more of them were filled with hidden expectations.
"Did you hear that?" Li Chungang hadn't noticed before, and he'd walked up behind him. "Every year there are fools like this, thinking they can challenge Wang Xianzhi just by holding a sword."
"Then they..." Before Gu could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old swordsman.
"They? They don't even have the qualifications to see Wang Xianzhi!" When Li Chungang turned around, the sunlight outside the window slanted across his face.
"It's just the scum of the world."
When the food was served, Gu Yi realized that he was already starving.
He picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up some food, but he saw Li Chungang staring at him with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Why, are you starving?" The old swordsman poured himself a glass of wine, the amber liquor swaying gently in the glass. "Don't rush to eat, just keep me company and talk."
Gu Yi put down his chopsticks awkwardly, but his palms began to sweat unconsciously.
"Did you see those guys just now?" Li Chungang suddenly spoke, slowly turning the wine glass between his fingertips.
Gu Yi thought for a moment and replied, "Yeah."
"They are just like you. Sometimes they don't understand their own strength and blindly challenge others."
"And the end of these fools is nothing but death!"
Li Chungang's voice suddenly became low.
The boy felt a chill down his spine.
"Then... why do you want to challenge Wang Xianzhi?" Gu Yi finally asked the question in his heart.
Li Chungang looked out the window and saw the city wall in the distance looking even more majestic in the twilight.
A smile suddenly appeared on his lips. In that smile, there was vicissitudes of life, fighting spirit, and even an indescribable sense of relief: "Why... I've almost forgotten. I only remember that we had a promise!"
After three rounds of drinks, Gu Yi's cheeks were flushed.
He looked at the flickering wine light in Li Chungang's cup, and suddenly felt that the old swordsman in front of him became blurred.
Sometimes he looked like the legendary peerless sword god in green robes, and sometimes he looked like an ordinary old man.
"Are you afraid?" he suddenly asked, regretting the words as soon as they came out of his mouth.
Li Chungang raised his eyebrows: "Afraid? What are you afraid of?"
"Afraid...of losing." Gu Yi lowered his head, staring at his clasped hands. "Everyone in the martial arts world says that Wang Xianzhi is invincible! If you lose..."
"Lose?" The old swordsman suddenly laughed, and his laughter made the dust on the beam fall down.
"If I lose, I lose!" He gulped down a glass of wine, the wine dripping down his chin and staining his blue shirt with a dark color.
"If you're afraid to draw your sword because you're afraid of losing, are you still a swordsman? Your sword may not break, but you'll be defeated!"
"But didn't you say..."
Li Chungang suddenly reached out and pressed Gu Yi's shoulder. The warmth of his palm came through his clothes, making the young man's heart skip a beat.
Chapter 111 The sword is coming!
"I'm talking about those idiots, what does it have to do with me?"
Gu Yi raised his head and saw the flickering fire in Li Chungang's eyes.
It was a kind of fighting spirit that was almost paranoid, but it also had the clarity of seeing through the world.
Day two.
A line of pale morning light leaked in through the carved window lattices.
When Gu Yi kicked open Li Chungang's door with his toes.
I saw the old beggar pulling up the corner of the satin quilt embroidered with bamboo leaves, covering half of his bearded face.
"Hey!" The boy rushed over and lifted the quilt, and the cold silk rubbed against his fingertips.
"The sun is already shining on our butts. Didn't we agree to challenge Wang Xianzhi?"
"Why aren't you getting up yet?"
A muffled snoring sound came from under the quilt, and then Li Chungang turned over.
The young man angrily grabbed the other person's quilt, but was staggered by a sudden force.
"Are you annoying, kid..." Li Chungang finally showed half of his face, his right eye was half open due to eye boogers.
"Wang Xianzhi won't run away, so why are you in such a hurry?" As Li Chungang spoke, a strong smell of alcohol wafted into his nose.
Gu Yi smelled the strong smell of wine dregs and couldn't help but take a step back.
"Were you still drinking after I returned to my room last night?"
"So what? You can't drink much and can't drink with me. So, can't you allow me to have a few more drinks on my own?"
"You can drink, but you said you were going to challenge Wang Xianzhi!" The young man stomped his feet anxiously, and his wooden shoes made a crisp sound on the blue bricks.
Before he finished speaking, the sound of a clapper suddenly came from outside the window.
Li Chungang yawned and turned to look at the young man: "There are too few people to support this scene."
"What?" Gu Yi thought he had misheard.
"If we're going to fight, let's fight to the fullest." Li Chungang pointed outside.
"At least my duel with Wang Xianzhi should be witnessed by both the human and demon worlds!"
There was no further talk after that, and Gu Yi was kicked out of the room.
Gu Yi was standing outside the door at this time and knew that Li Chungang was just trying to fool him.
He knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for a mere old beggar like him to challenge Wang Xianzhi and have people from both the human and demon worlds come to watch.
Unless he is the Sword God Li Chungang...
Thinking of this, Gu Yi paused.
His brain worked quickly, and then a cunning glint flashed in his eyes.
He murmured, "It's just a person, okay, I'll help you get someone!"
For the next three days, Gu Yi was very busy.
He ran all over Wudi City, looking for storytellers in the entire city.
He then provided them with the news that Sword God Li Chungang was going to have a decisive battle with Wang Xianzhi.
At first, the storytellers were also skeptical about this, but even if it was fake, the news was too explosive.
Word spread quickly from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Within a day, everyone in the entire Wudi City knew about it.
Three days later, almost everyone in both the human and demon worlds knew about it.
I don’t know how many people are now rushing to Wudi City.
Just to see the duel between the Sword God and the Martial Emperor.
The most important thing is that these people have almost the same ideas. Whether they are true or false, they will come to Wu Di City.
If it's fake, there's no loss. If it's real, then we're really witnessing a showdown between two of the strongest people of our time.
Three days later.
During these three days, Li Chungang stayed in the room of the inn and did not mention anything about challenging Wang Xianzhi.
Naturally, he had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
At this time, Gu Yi rushed into Li Chungang's room in a hurry.
"Something big happened!" The young man held onto the door frame and gasped for breath, his hair stuck to his face by sweat.
When Li Chungang saw the other party panicking, he realized that something bad had happened.
"What's going on? What happened?"
The words came to his lips but for some reason Gu Yi couldn't say them.
Because he didn't know how to explain it.
When Li Chungang saw this, he knew that it was most likely related to the other party.
"Hurry up and tell me, what happened?"
Under Li Chungang's questioning, Gu Yi finally revealed the reason for the incident.
After learning that it was the other party who released the news that Li Chungang was going to challenge Wang Xianzhi, people from both the human and demon worlds came.
Li Chungang felt helpless at this moment.
But he didn't blame the other party.
After all, the most urgent thing right now is to deal with the problem of Wudi City first.
"Tell me, how many people are here?"
"The various factions of the Daoist Alliance and the four great demon kings of the demon world!"
Well, that’s all here.
A thousand mud horses were galloping through Li Chungang's mind.
But when the words of blame came to my lips, I couldn't say them.
After thinking for a moment, Li Chungang came up with a plan to deal with the situation.
That’s right, that’s beating!
This is the best solution right now.
"Well, there's no escaping."
"Then let's fight!"
As they talked, the two of them came outside.
At this time, Wudi City was already crowded with people.
When everyone received the news that Li Chungang was going to fight Wang Xianzhi again, they rushed here.
Almost all of them were spectators who had heard the news and rushed over overnight.
Seeing this situation, Li Chungang also understood that if he did not take action, the matter would end badly.
Then he turned his head and looked at Gu Yi.
"Look carefully, this is the first sword I will formally teach you!"
"Here comes the sword!"
The two words came out of Li Chungang's mouth and spread throughout the entire Wudi City.
