The shopkeeper sent the hot water upstairs, and when he saw the four people on the table who were extremely discordant, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, so he leaned over to the old shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, what's going on with these people? The boy and the lady upstairs look like rich people, but how do you look at the old and the two young people, how can they not go all the way." ”

As soon as the words ended, the shopkeeper was beaten on the head, and the shopkeeper who was covering his head looked at the old shopkeeper aggrievedly, and before he could speak, the old shopkeeper had already whispered a lesson, "Does it have anything to do with you all the way?"

The shopkeeper grinned and said, "Don't be angry with the shopkeeper, don't talk about the small one." Your words are too serious, what else is there in this chapter city that your old man can't handle?"

The shopkeeper's compliment to the shopkeeper is very useful, and it is indeed because of this ingenious mouth that he stayed, although the shopkeeper looked at the shopkeeper with a little anger, but there was a smile in his eyes, and he knew that it was okay.

The shopkeeper reminded, "Don't be poor in me, you kid, you just told me that you have remembered for me, these people, especially the lady, will not be small, although it is a strong dragon that does not suppress the head snake, but after all, it is better to have more than one thing." ”

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and the shopkeeper waved his hand, "Let's go serve the food." ”

"Okay!"

The shopkeeper ran to the back kitchen.

Xingxiu poured a cup of tea for the old man and the child, and said, "The old man doesn't need to be nervous, my wife has ordered, tomorrow morning I will go to the cloth village for one of you to change a set of suitable clothes." It's just a bumpy road, and I'm afraid I'm going to have to suffer a little. ”

The hunchbacked old man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Where is the son, Mrs. is willing to keep the old man as an entourage and give alms a mouthful of food, which is already the great creation of the old man and the child. ”

Xingxiu smiled and rubbed the top of the girl's hair, who looked at the man in brocade next to him with wide eyes.

The old man is also a person with eyesight, and introduced with a smile, "The girl's name is Chun'er, she is my own granddaughter, and the boy's name is Bai Ge'er, I met him on the road. ”

Xingxiu looked at the two children, the little girl was filial piety by her grandfather's side, Bai Ge'er seemed to have a feeling of youth and old age, and the hunchbacked old man stood up and arched towards Xingxiu's direction.

"Lu Wenbai has seen adults, thank you for saving your life. ”

Xingxiu was slightly stunned and looked at the old man, who was also a little surprised, as if he didn't expect this young child to do this.

"Your name is Lu Wenbai?" Xingxiu said with a smile.

Lu Wenbai nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Xingxiu asked, "How old are you?"

Lu Wenbai said seriously, "At the age of eight, I just followed the old gentleman in the school for a year. ”

Xingxiu nodded, "Where is home?"

Lu Wenbai gritted his teeth, as if he remembered something painful, and then said, "Zhangcheng people, my parents died early. ”

Xingxiu was puzzled, "Zhang Cheng?"

Then he looked at the old man, "The old man is also from Zhangcheng?"

The hunchbacked old man nodded and said, "Exactly, the old man's surname is Zhao, and the son can call me Lao Zhao." ”

Xingxiu didn't shirk it, but just said, "Uncle Zhao, are those begging people on the street also from Zhangcheng?"

The hunchbacked old man's face was heavy, and he nodded, "Not bad." ”

"What's going on?" Xingxiu asked, "When we entered the city, I saw that the people in Zhangcheng were still quite wealthy. ”

The old man sighed and said sadly, "Childe doesn't know, we are all villagers in the villages around Zhangcheng, and we have planted the land well, but I never thought that the landlord would suddenly take back the house and land. ”

Xingxiu frowned and said, "Have you ever compensated for the silver?"

The old man smiled bitterly, "The compensation is compensation, but it only compensates for dozens of yuan, dozens of yuan!"

It is not uncommon for landlords to exploit tenant farmers, but it is rare for landlords to suddenly take back their land, which is a novelty.

"Didn't you go to the yamen to sue?"

The old man shook his head, "Sue, it's useless." ”

"How could it be useless?"

"The county master was promoted to the hall at the beginning, but halfway through the promotion, someone suddenly came, and he didn't know what was going on, so he kicked people out, and then he simply didn't let us stay in Zhangcheng, there was no way, so I had to go north. ”

Xingxiu frowned, and the shopkeeper came over and put the dishes on the table, "Guest officer, your dishes are here!"

Xingxiu glanced at the shopkeeper and didn't say much, but waited until the dishes were ready, and then pulled the shopkeeper who was about to leave and asked, "Is there a big guy coming to Zhangcheng recently?"

The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "Childe, our Zhangcheng has always been a small place, and the biggest big man is the county master, does the big man the county master count as the big man that the son said?"

Saying that, the shopkeeper asked tentatively, "But Childe asked what is this for?"

Xingxiu smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, I heard someone say a sentence and a half when I entered the city just now, maybe I heard it wrong." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Then the guest officer, you use it slowly." ”

The shopkeeper left with joyful steps, Xingxiu took the old man's hand and said, "Old man, don't talk to anyone about those words just now, I'll tell my wife when I go back." If anyone asks, you will say that you are from Yandu, and you will meet my wife and go to Ruzhou together. ”

The hunchbacked old man nodded and said, "It's all up to the son." ”

Xingxiu smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, don't call me son, just call me Xingxiu, let's eat." ”

Uncle Zhao looked in the direction of the second floor and said in a low voice, "What about Madame?"

Xing Xiudao, "Madame wants to rest for a while, I have already prepared the kitchen, and I will send it up when Madame is rested." ”

Uncle Zhao nodded, and then picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

People who have been hungry for several days, except for the old man, still control it, Chun'er's eyes have been on the dishes Lu Wenbai is better, but he has also been swallowing saliva.

The woman on the second floor looked down at an old and young downstairs, couldn't help but feel heavy, and turned around and walked into the room.

The world is impermanent, and there are always people in rags.

————

On the secluded path from Yandu to Ruzhou, three extremely fast figures swept by like the wind.

All three were young men with outstanding faces, two men and one woman, two black and one white tuxedos, and their movements were crisp and neat.

The young man with short black hair said as he ran, "Isn't this the business of the gang in the Storm Pavilion?

The young woman gave him a blank look and said, "If the Earl asks you to go, you can go, where is all this nonsense?"

The boy pursed his lips and fell silent.

The three of them are all young nobles of the Xiyue clan, and they were assigned by the earl early in the morning to go to the Ruzhou Mansion to subdue the nine-headed monster.

No one dared to ask why the matter of the Storm Pavilion actually fell on them, when did the Xiyue clan become the ones who subdued demons and subdued demons?

The leader of the three was a young man with short gray hair, and his purple eyes were extremely rare even among the Xiyue clan.

The black-haired boy knew that his name was Ryutsuki, and he was a powerful person by the earl's side. The woman in the white suit is called Chiyoko, the only daughter of the aristocratic Chiyoko, and the black-haired boy among the three has opposite family backgrounds

Weaker, but it is also the Tanaka clan that is second to none in the Xiyue clan.

In the Xiyue clan, the bloodline of the real origin is destined to be strong in itself, the ice of Ryuki is unique, and the power of Chiyoko is also the existence praised by the earl, as for Tanaka, he is good at peeling back the cocoon from people's memories to find what he wants.

The three of them, except for Tanaka, seem to be able to be the only existence, but the Earl actually let the three of them set off together, does the nine-headed monster attach so much importance to the Earl?

The speed of the Xiyue Ghost was a hundred times faster than that of ordinary people, and it set off at dawn and rushed to Ruzhou Mansion after dark.

According to the map handed over by the Earl to a few people, Lu Yue determined the place where a few people would arrive, the stronghold of the Storm Pavilion in Ruzhou Mansion, and watched it freely.

"How can these people be so ethereal, and where is the word "free" in the world?"

Looking at the plaque at the entrance of the Taoist temple, Tanaka said disdainfully.

Chiyoko gave him a blank look, as if he didn't want to deal with this person.

Lu Yue, who had been silent, slowly spoke, "Inner peace, the truth of life is leisure." ”

Chiyoko looked at Ryutsuki beside her, a little surprised, as if she didn't expect that this young nobleman who rarely spoke would also be familiar with these Taoist teachings of Li Qing.

The three of them stood at the door of the Taoist temple but were not allowed to enter, because in front of them there was an enchantment visible to the naked eye, a boundary between yang and yin, light and darkness.

Chiyoko frowned and said, "What should we do? ”

Tanaka snorted, "Get in!"

Chiyoko sneered and turned around, "Idiot, you can fight yourself!"

Tanaka muttered, "Where am I the one who can fight, isn't there you?"

Chiyoko said "Qi", and there was no movement.

Tanaka looked at Ryutsuki in front of him and asked respectfully, "What can Ryuzuki-sama do?"

Lu Yue frowned and said, "Go in." ”

Chiyoko's eyes widened, and Tanaka, who was just about to say something, had already exclaimed, and then fled as if avoiding a divine light from the Taoist temple, Chiyoko followed, but the expected explosion did not happen, and when she turned around, she saw that Ryuzuki had blocked the divine light with her own strength, and the ice around her body had reached ten zhang away, but she was never able to break through the location of the enchantment.

"Too ...... Pretty, is this guy a god?"

Tanaka exclaimed.

Chiyoko frowned and said calmly, "This shouldn't be the real divine light, people like us don't talk about fighting against the divine light, just standing under the divine light is a great pain, this should be the Taoist technique, with the help of the moonlight's Taoist technique." ”

Tanaka was surprised, "You know this too?"

Chiyoko glanced at him, "Guess." ”

Tanaka "Qi" sighed, and looked at Ryuzuki, who was confronting the divine light, although he hadn't seen Ruzuki make a move, but the Ryuki was not reluctant to deal with the divine light, which shows the strength of this person.

Tanaka looked at Chiyoko beside him, "Can you?"

Chiyoko shook her head, her face was a little pale, and the answer was already self-evident.

Tanaka sighed, "How powerful is this person?"

Chiyoko said calmly, "How can the person next to Lord Earl be a weak person?"

Tanaka muttered, "That's too inhuman." ”

Fortunately, the latter sentence was not heard because Chiyoko was all about Ryutsuki's body.

The ice soon enveloped all the "divine light", and then I saw that the slender fingers were slightly closed, and the ice suddenly shattered into tens of thousands of ice crystal fragments scattered in the air, reflecting countless people outside the Taoist temple.

The barrier still exists, but the door to the temple is open.

A middle-aged man in a gray robe walked with a handsome face and a sense of dust from the fairy wind and bones, which is amazing, isn't this an immortal?

Liuyue returned the ice under her feet, looked at the person who walked out of the door, put her left hand on her chest, bent down and said, "Respected Lord Yuxia, my lord was entrusted by Lord Tao to order the three of us to come and help subdue the nine-headed monster." This is a handwritten letter from Master Tao, please read it. ”

Because of the requirements of Lord Earl, although not all of the Xiyue clan can speak Liqing dialect, but the nobles must learn, and the Liqing dialect of Liuyue is very good, which makes the eyes of middle-aged Taoist priests shine.

Ryuki stood up and took out a yellow envelope from the pocket on her chest, and the seal on it still had the mark of the Broken Autumn Cliff unique to the Wind Wave Pavilion.

Lord Yuxia took the letter in Liuyue's hand, first confirmed that the seal was correct, and then pinched the formula, and then opened the seal to read the contents.

Tanaka looked at the Taoist priest's pretentious behavior, and said with disdain in his heart, "What is there to be cautious about, just take it as a pity." ”

Chiyoko glanced at Tanaka and didn't say anything.

But she was not as disgusted as Tanaka, she just felt that such caution was necessary, which showed that no matter what time it was, the most important things such as its core skeleton were still there and had not yet dispersed.

Chiyoko thought for a moment, if such a thing happened to her country, or if the Xiyue clan experienced such a failure, would there still be people who would have no distractions to do things that were not related to their own safety?

Perhaps, but it should be rare.

After reading the content of the letter, the middle-aged Taoist priest finally showed a light smile on his face, not a flattering smile, just a politeness, "The three are guests from afar, and dinner has been prepared in the temple, please come in." ”

As he spoke, he took out three yellow Dao talismans from his sleeve and pinched the mantra, and the Dao talisman was attached to the backs of the three people, so fast that several people didn't have time to react at all.

The Dao Fu did not have the burning sensation they imagined, but instead made them feel that the pressure generated by the existence of the enchantment had disappeared a lot.

Looking at the contemplator again, he had already walked towards the Taoist temple first.

Ryutsuki followed.

District Time and Space Demon Temple

The man with gray sideburns walked to the courtyard in front of the Demon Temple, and behind him was an ancient castle that had existed since his father settled here, and it had been more than a thousand years now.
