The shopkeeper looked at the old man and the young in front of him, but he was shocked in his heart.

The old man was dressed in a wide robe, without his name embroidered, his hair was scattered arbitrarily, and his white beard had oil flowers on it, and he seemed to be a raunchy man. There was a wine bag hanging around his waist, and a worn-out sword box behind him, and his whole body was like a loose monk in the rivers and lakes, not like a person from all sects.

And the little Taoist priest next to him was like an ordinary Taoist boy, his face was red in the cold autumn wind, he kept wiping his nose, carefully looking at his clothes, and his clothes did not fit, this wide Taoist robe seemed to be picked up somewhere, hanging on his body, there was an indescribable funny.

Other martial arts practitioners are all wearing black robes, not letting others see their faces, deliberately hiding their whereabouts, how can anyone be so arrogant, without concealing the slightest hint of visiting, are these two really here to buy medicinal herbs?

But I heard that there were such martial arts practitioners before, just like these two people, ordinary clothes came to ask for road maps, and some of the people who couldn't look at them because of this, the lion opened his mouth and asked for a lot of money, which made the martial arts practitioners very angry, and finally took it and lit a fire to burn it, and the people in the ghost market behind this are not to blame for some reason.

The shopkeeper is a businessman and knows that people are not disguised. This martial arts practitioner is just a reckless man, as long as he is served well, no matter what he wears, it is an equal transaction, one hand to pay the money, the other hand to deliver the goods. Before you know where the other party is coming from, you must not have a conflict, after all, these reckless people are all people who want to save face, and they can't fight with you for the so-called name.

The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and saw an old man and a young man, as if he was looking at two items to be sold at a price, and the two of them looked at themselves with a smile for a long time, as if they were really here to buy medicinal herbs.

The people who came were Lao Dao and Qin Chuan, who came from the Tongfu Inn.

Last night, Shopkeeper Wu stayed with him for a night, and discussed a lot of martial arts techniques, cultivation realms, and secrets of the rivers and lakes with Qin Chuan, so that Qin Chuan could have a rough understanding of the so-called martial arts rivers and lakes.

However, Qin Chuan thought that it was just his own empty mountain and Danhai that had not yet been fully condensed, and he had not really entered the martial arts rivers and lakes, so he was also very anxious, although there was a strong man in the martial arts rivers and lakes led the way, but Qin Chuan always felt that there was no way to use magic, so after dark, he went to find the shop of the horse shopkeeper with the old way, and wanted to know the entrance of the ghost market as soon as possible, so as to get the pill to make up the sky.

Like a lost child, Lao Dao and Qin Chuan's sense of direction is very poor, the two walked for more than an hour, and walked to Dongcheng, Lao Dao said very confidently that the Xicheng horse shopkeeper must be next to this, but because it is the receiver of the ghost market, this medicinal herb shop will not be so easy to find, if you ask passers-by in the middle of the night, you are afraid that your whereabouts will be exposed.

The two of them spent a long time, but they still didn't find the location of the horse shopkeeper, Qin Chuan really couldn't help but ask a husband, where is the medicinal herb shop of the horse shopkeeper in Xicheng. The husband looked at the two of them like idiots, pointed to the west and said, "This is Dongcheng, you are going the other way." ”

After Lao Dao heard it, he also slapped his thigh, scolding himself for why he didn't look at the Big Dipper, I'm afraid it was because he drank too much tonight.

However, Qin Chuan seemed to be accustomed to Lao Dao's actions, and he didn't blame Lao Dao, and slowly walked towards Xicheng. It's just that Qingzhou City is late at night, and some horsemen have already gone home to rest, so the two of them can't catch the carriage, so they have to walk more than a dozen lanes with their feet before they reach Xicheng, and they can't help but feel that Qingzhou City covers a very large area.

The two looked for a long time, asked a lot of passers-by to find the medicinal herb shop, at this time saw a lot of black-robed people gathered outside the door of the shopkeeper's house, Qin Chuan looked back at the two of them dressed like this, discussed with Lao Dao and hid next to them, and waited for those black-robed people to almost go, then knocked on the door, waiting for the shopkeeper to answer.

Looking at the moonlight, Qin Chuan estimated the time, shook his head at Lao Dao, the two of them set off at the same time, and only then did they arrive at the medicinal herb shop of the horse shopkeeper, Qin Chuan looked at the wine bag on Lao Dao's waist, and the more he looked at it, the more unpleasant it became, although Qin Chuan drank a lot of wine with it and saved his life.

However, Qin Chuan thought about it and gave up, after all, Lao Dao knew that he had condensed the two places of Kongshan and Danhai, and he could see that he was very happy, and he drank a lot of wine with Wu's shopkeeper last night, and drank until dawn, and Lao Dao fell asleep groggily. Although Lao Dao had some foundation as a martial arts practitioner, he still drank it openly, and did not use the aura of heaven and earth to sober up, so it was not until it was dark that Lao Dao suddenly woke up.

Wu shopkeeper, as before, replaced wine with tea, and was drunk with the old way, and did not wake up for half a day, it seems that the tea power of Wu shopkeeper is not very old-fashioned wine.

At this moment, Lao Dao and Qin Chuan were standing in front of the door of the shopkeeper, but they were speechless, as if the two of them had nothing to say. But vaguely, these two people seemed to be outsiders who disdained to speak, which made the shopkeeper very embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.

The shopkeeper smiled, hoping to open up the awkward atmosphere.

Who knew that the two of them also grinned, and then they stopped talking, as if they were dumb, silent in the silent night.

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them familiarly, as if he had seen the two of them somewhere, but he had drunk a lot of spirits during the day, and he had a headache at the moment, and he couldn't remember it at all. The more the shopkeeper thought about it, the more painful it became, so he simply didn't think about these problems, looking at the dress of the two, it should be something to come, not a lost person, so the shopkeeper made a gesture and asked tentatively: "Two, my medicinal herb shop has been closed, if you two have any needs, please hurry up tomorrow." ”

The shopkeeper's voice was gentle, as if he was talking to an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, and he didn't feel any discomfort.

Qin Chuan looked at the horse shopkeeper at this moment, and thought the same as he had thought on the road before: a gentry and a magnate dressed up, although it was simply dressed in silk and satin, and it was wearing covered shoes, judging from the jewelry he was wearing, it was actually shining in the dark night, and it must be an extraordinary thing. Qin Chuan thought that the shopkeeper was the successor of the ghost market after all, if it was a shabby dress, it would definitely be looked down upon, and he would think that he was a liar in the martial arts rivers and lakes.

Qin Chuan saluted slightly, the wide Taoist robes were all hanging to the ground, already stained with dust, Qin Chuan saw this, and scolded the so-called hundred-year-old silk village in his heart, but he opened his mouth and said: "The horse shopkeeper, the moon and stars are scarce, and it really shouldn't disturb people's dreams." However, I have come here to get something, hehe, you should know why. ”

Qin Chuan condensed the unconsummated empty mountains and Danhai, and talked a lot about the martial arts rivers and lakes with the Wu shopkeeper.

However, what the shopkeeper is most afraid of is this, looking like a teenager on the street, but he is thoughtful, and he does not know how to answer to make it satisfied, if he angers this person, the consequences are unimaginable. Besides, there is an old way in front of him who has not said a word, looking at the appearance of the martial arts rivers and lakes, if he kills people, he will definitely not blink an eye.

The shopkeeper thought in his heart, instead of having a conflict, it was better to stabilize the two of them first. Looking at the streets of Xicheng at the time, it was already lonely, and there were no pedestrians, if you listened carefully, there were still a lot of snoring sounds, and the shopkeeper leaned sideways and said, "Two, please inside." ”

Qin Chuan thought secretly in his heart, the person who responded to this ghost market was really very knowledgeable, and he had not yet said a clear word, he already knew why the two of them came, it seems that the shopkeeper is also well-versed in all directions, unimpeded all over the world, and has seen a lot of martial arts cultivators, so he has such a calm and calm statement.

Entered the courtyard with Lao Dao, the shopkeeper locked the door bolt from the inner courtyard, and then said please, and walked to the courtyard alone, Qin Chuan and Lao Dao followed behind, looking at the inner courtyard with a lot of cargo boxes, looking very familiar. But tonight was for the entrance of the ghost market, so Qin Chuan didn't ask curiously, but followed the shopkeeper and walked towards the house.

After the shopkeeper entered the inner room, he took out the fire fold again and lit the candle, and took out a lot of pear charcoal to ignite, and after a while, the room was considered to be warm, so the shopkeeper put down the clothes he was wearing, beckoned Qin Chuan and Lao Dao to sit down and roast the fire to keep warm, and took out the celadon tea from the door of the cabinet door, took advantage of the water to boil, brewed it and gave it to the two.

Only then did Qin Chuan see the inner room of the shopkeeper clearly, and couldn't help but secretly sigh that the shopkeeper's taste was extraordinary.

I saw that the inner room of the horse shopkeeper was not big, but it was very neat, and it was not clear that there were any stains on the ground, and there were a lot of medicinal books piled up on the table, which was also very neat, and there was no mess. To the east of the inner room lay a large elm bed, on which was already folded bedding. Next to the large bed is a small wooden couch on two floors, on which is placed a pair of cloth shoes, and it seems that this horse shopkeeper lives alone.

On the west side of the inner room, there are a lot of bottles and jars, as well as a lot of stone pestles, and a lot of medicinal materials, stacked neatly, without the slightest spillage, obviously this is the place where the horse shopkeeper dispenses medicine, so there is a faint medicinal fragrance in this room.

Seeing that the two of them kept looking at their inner room, the shopkeeper was also very panicked, just like a girl's house was broken into and saw the boudoir. The two of them sat like this, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to speak easily, after all, he didn't know why he came, but he couldn't say wrong.

However, Qin Chuan took a sip of tea and began to feel that the tea was also very delicious, and the taste was not inferior to April Qing. But I still couldn't help it, thinking that the shopkeeper was really calm, and he had seen a lot of winds and waves, so he couldn't bear it until now: "Shopkeeper Ma, you know why we came, we met that day......"

"We've met before. Hearing this, the shopkeeper put down the celadon teacup again, but secretly said in his heart that he was unlucky, and the events of that day were also seen by these two people.
