Chapter VII Folk Customs
After some rest, Chen Mang and his group set off again, and two more people were added to the team.
One of them is Lin Yueru who finally got approval and went out to explore the world, and another is Liu Jinyuan, the top scholar who volunteered to protect her cousin.
When Lin Yueru heard his cousin threatening to protect himself, she burst into laughter on the spot, especially after seeing scissors inserted between his waist as a weapon, she couldn't stand up straight.
Seeing that his cousin laughed constantly, Liu Jinyuan looked at Chen Mang with a sad face: "Master, I see that the knights use swords when walking around the world. Why do you want to give your disciple a pair of scissors?"
Chen Mang rolled his eyes and said, "You don't have the talent to practice swordsmanship. It is almost impossible for you to practice to the level of a sword saint in this life. It is better to practice a magic weapon to paralyze the enemy, and it can have unexpected results at critical moments."
Li Xiaoyao said proudly: "I heard that Ah Qi is not everyone like this young hero, and is born with a sword-wizarding genius!"
Lin Yueru said curiously: "Who is the Sword Saint? Why have I never heard of such a loud name?"
Chen Mang explained: "The Sword Saint is the head of the Shushan Sect. His cultivation is almost the same as the Tao. With just one sword, you can destroy your Lin Family Fort."
Lin Yueru took a breath of cold air, looking shocked.
Li Xiaoyao asked expectantly: "What about me? How long does it take to practice to reach the level of the Sword Saint?"
Chen Mang glanced at Li Xiaoyao and said, "I think it won't take long, after all, you have taken the first step to becoming a sword saint."
Li Xiaoyao said in surprise: "Mr. Chen, what is the first step to becoming a sword saint?"
Chen Mang smiled playfully and said, "If you want to be a sword saint, you must first become a sword man."
Li Xiaoyao: “…”
Lin Yueru looked at Li Xiaoyao and laughed: "Hahahaha, what a sword man! Brother Jian Man, I'll give you a good thing!" As she said that, she took out a bell and quickly tied it to Li Xiaoyao's belt.
Li Xiaoyao frowned and pulled the bell and said, "What the hell are you doing? I'm not a little girl, what kind of bell is tied to me!"
Lin Yueru raised her chin and said, "Don't waste your energy, this bell cannot be untied. This bell is a pair, and there are two insects living in it. As long as you ring the bell, the other bell will ring, so that you don't have to worry about not being able to find me in the future."
Li Xiaoyao grinned his teeth and showed a chilling expression: "Hey, who is looking for you, the evil girl!"
Lin Yueru pretended that she didn't hear it and said, "Let me think about it, what name should I give this pair of bells..."
Chen Mang said: "When you look at the bell, it will ring, it will ring. Why not just shout..."
Lin Yueru responded with a little dissatisfaction: "Call Dingding and Dangdang?"
Chen Mang said: "It's better to just call them BP machines!"
“???”
Lin Yueru tilted her head and looked at Chen Mang with a puzzled look on her face.
While he was stunned, several strange men wearing straw hats and cloaks walked past the street, knocking Lin Yueru to the point of being tilted.
Lin Yueru calmed down and shouted at them angrily: "How did you walk? Don't you have eyes?"
Several strange people ignored Lin Yueru and continued to rush forward without looking back.
Lin Yueru snorted angrily: "It's really unlucky for a group of weird people."
Li Xiaoyao's eyes rolled and said, "Don't be angry, I'll avenge you!" After his words, he had already used his light skills to chase after him, used his flying dragon cloud explorer's unique skill, pulled off the wallet from the leader's waist, and quickly entered a small alley and hid.
The leader paused, and held down the young companion who wanted to chase after him to catch the thief, and said, "No need to chase him. We came to Zhongyuan this time to find the princess. We should be low-key and pretended to be exactly the same as the people in Zhongyuan. We must not make a fuss and attract the attention of Baiyue's subordinates!"
These strangers were Elder Shi, Tang Yu and his party who came to the Central Plains to find Zhao Linger, entrusted by the witch king of Nanzhao Kingdom.
Seeing that his foster father didn't even chase after him, Tang Yu said helplessly: "Enjoyed father, the people in the Central Plains have to chase after him even if they were stolen by a thief?"
Elder Shi snorted coldly: "What do you know? This little thief can steal the wallet from me, which means that his skill is not low. If he doesn't do it well, it's a trap for worshiping the moon!"
Tang Yu opened his mouth, feeling that his adoptive father's nerves were too sensitive, but he knew that what his adoptive father decided would not change, so he had to sigh and swallow the words he said to the side of his mouth.
On the other side, Li Xiaoyao saw that Elder Shi and the others were not chasing him, and he came back with his purse with some confusion, frowned and said, "Strange, I stole their purse, why didn't they come to chase me?"
Chen Mang glanced at Tang Yu who was familiar, curled up the corner of his mouth and said, "This shows that they have a ghost in their hearts and are afraid that they will be recognized, so they may be a group of wanted criminals."
Liu Jinyuan took a deep breath and widened his eyes and said, "Wanted criminals, let's go and report to the official!"
Li Xiaoyao rolled his eyes and said, "What if it's not? I'll test it again!" After that, he ran to change his clothes, walked past them again, and stole the new wallet that Elder Shi had hung.
Tang Yu said anxiously: "Adopted father, are you still not chasing him?"
Elder Shi said with a serious look on his face: "This person wants to lead us to chase him, so don't be fooled."
Tang Yu sighed helplessly, lowered his head, and continued to follow Elder Shi.
After repeating this a few times, Li Xiaoyao, the newly promoted Beggar Gang's eight bags of elder, returned to Chen Mang with eight purses hanging on his clothes, and said in shock: "I stole them so many times and didn't chase them. Could it be that he is really a wanted criminal!"
At this time, Liu Jinyuan had already arrived with the yamen runners, pointed to the backs of Elder Shi and the others and said, "It's them, arrest them and take them back to the yamen to identify them!"
"Here!"
A leading yamen runner saluted Liu Jinyuan, and then led a group of brothers to quickly step forward and surrounded Elder Shi and others.
Elder Shi was stunned for a moment, clasped his fists and asked, "Sir, can you ask what you have to do?"
The yamen runner looked fierce and wagged, "Stop talking, take them all back to the yamen, and take them to the jail to wait for the death!"
Elder Shi was inexplicably held by two yamen runners, and immediately couldn't bear it anymore. His internal force bounced away and said furiously: "You bastards, there are so many thieves on the street who don't catch them, but instead come to catch the stolen people! What kind of the hell is your Tang Dynasty? What kind of kingdom is used to use?"
Tang Yu looked at the yamen runner lying all over the ground and smiled bitterly: "Entertainment father, keep a low profile..."
"Low, no, no!"
Elder Shi shouted angrily, glared at Tang Yu, and left in anger.
Liu Jinyuan, who was watching on the side, suddenly realized: "It turns out that they are not Tang people, so it's no wonder. Perhaps it's a common thing for them to throw things away, and it's not worth making a fuss."
Zhao Ling'er glanced at Elder Shi, who had almost never changed for so many years, and turned her head away with embarrassment.
