Chapter 44: Puzzle Clearing

With his hand off the knife, Shang Luo took a sip of the teacup, and then said lightly: "It seems that Brother Ren has been following me just now?"

Hearing this, the corners of Ren Juntong's mouth were filled with bitterness, and he said, "Brother Tai, but you complain that I didn't make a move at that time? Although my Ren family is also one of the Xingluo Hundred Clans, and my ancestors have also produced Linghai Realm monks, but in this generation, the Ren family is the only immortal seedling like me, and I am still a first-grade Dao species, and the Xiao family is still a genius of the second grade of the Dao species. ”

A large part of the reason why the Xingluo Hundred Clans were able to rely on the loose system to resist the Liang Kingdom in the north and reject the Shiman in the south was the support of the Immortal Sect behind them.

It's just that this kind of support needs to be maintained by excellent disciples, such as the Xiao family, whose current strength is not much different from the Ren family, but the prospects are brilliant, and Ren Juntong does not dare to cause trouble for the family.

"That brother Ren's words are a bit contradictory, since he is afraid of offending the Xiao family, why do he say that he wants to form an alliance with Zaixia. Shang Luo asked rhetorically.

"Jun Tong didn't dare to directly fight the Xiao family, but he also needed to find a way to make a living for himself. Ren Juntong took a long breath, and no longer poured wine into the wine glass, but directly took the wine jug and poured it into his mouth, and then continued: "Fighting Maniac Gate, Ancient Demon Sect, Royal Beast Sect, White Bone Dao, Nine Demon Palace, which one is not a demon cave that swallows people without blinking, the demons dance wildly, fight each other, a few years ago, someone in the family came to the news, saying that the ghost sect that is also a demon sect was destroyed by the White Bone Dao, brother Tai think about it, even his own people can shoot, can people stay in that kind of place?"

Hearing the five familiar names, Shang Luo was slightly stunned, he had already guessed that the Demon Sect that Ren Juntong had mentioned earlier was the five major Demon Sects that were ranked alongside the Ghost Sect in the past, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

"In the past, it was the Xianmen who came to recruit disciples, although Juntong's talent was low, but there was no danger to his life when he entered the Immortal Sect, but this year, the Immortal Sect handed over my and other Xingluo to the Demon Sect to dominate, my Ren family is a small clan, and my talent is not high, so I couldn't get the exemption quota given by the Immortal Sect, so I had to worship the Demon Sect to protect the glory of the family. But I have self-knowledge, talent, strength, and heart are not very outstanding, and after entering the Demon Sect, there is no second ending in addition to death. ”

Ren Juntong laughed miserably, his words were full of desolation, as early as the beginning of the year, after the news of the Immortal Sect transferring the Xingluo Plain to the Demon Sect, he was full of pessimism about his fate.

He couldn't get the exemption quota of the Immortal Sect, so he had to enter the Demon Sect to extend the family's luck, but he had low talent, and when he entered the Demon Cave, the biggest possibility was death, he thought about running away, but the family gave birth to him and raised him, and he needed to stay in the sect alone, even if it was just cannon fodder, it showed that the Ren family's generation had not come to an end.

He tried to save himself, and two months ago, he had already come to the merchant town, thinking of relying on eloquence to make allies, but he was met with countless rejections, and the few who agreed were not even as high as him.

Disheartened, he went to the street to relax, and then he met Shang Luo, even if the other party had a mediocre face and a yellow complexion, he didn't look like a pampered young master at all, but the matter had come to this, and he had no other way, so he had to try his best.

"Interesting. ”

Rubbing the delicate texture of the celadon in his palm, Shang Luo fell into deep thought.

“...... Hiccup......" Ren Juntong burped, and two blush rose on his white jade-like cheeks.

Glancing at the drunken young master of the Ren family speechlessly, Shang Luo secretly said in his heart: "Combined with what Xiao Er said before, in the past, the Five Immortal Sect came to Shangzhen to recruit disciples, but this year, for some reason, it was replaced by the Five Demon Sect. However, judging from the so-called interview quota, the Immortal Sect was not willing to hand over Xingluo to the Demon Sect for nothing, so he made this quota, in order to mix sand in the Xingluo clans. In this way, the two young masters of the merchant should have been given exemption places by the Immortal Sect. ”

"The major families of Xingluo are also happy to do this, sending their descendants to worship the Immortal Sect, so that they don't have to cut off the connection with the Immortal Sect, and then send other disciples with Dao seeds to worship the Demon Sect, betting on both ends. It's just that a small clan like the Ren family didn't have the exemption quota given by the Xianmen, so they had to worship the Demon Sect and compete with the Ten Thousand Demons for a chance of survival. ”

The Demon Sect is not a good place to go, Shang Luo has long known this, he has already seen the evil things of the Ghost Sect from Yang Yue's diary, and what kind of good birds can the other five Demon Sects that were listed with the Ghost Sect in the past?

Looking at Ren Juntong's lonely appearance now, it is very likely that he has tried to win over others, but the Ren family is a small family, and he is just a product of Taoism, which is not attractive, so he will rush to the doctor, I am afraid that he regards himself as a life-saving straw.

"In this way, the news that the Shang Mansion from Tailuo Village intends to let Shang Wu worship the sect is also true, but it is the Demon Sect that worships it. ”

Combined with the previous news, Shang Luo's doubts were suddenly resolved. Before, he still felt that the Shang Mansion was too generous to Shang Wu, after all, although Tailuo Village was also a side branch of the merchants, but now, the blood relationship has long been so weak that he doesn't know where. Now, he understood that the merchant estimated that he had sent excellent disciples to the Immortal Sect, but there were no other disciples in the clan, so in order to avoid having no foundation in the Demon Sect in the future, he targeted Shang Wu.

"How can there be no food without wine, Xiao Er, come to a table of good dishes. ”

Seeing that Ren Juntong was slightly drunk, Shang Luo had the intention to make him more drunk.

"This guest officer, the small shop is a teahouse, and it does not serve meals. "Maybe I was so happy that I fainted because I received a large sum of money, but the previous Xiao Er didn't appear, and it was another one who came up.

"Bang. ”

As Shang Luo threw down a piece of silver, Xiao Er's smile with a smile of rejection suddenly changed, and he said with a sneer: "There is a restaurant two streets away, if the two masters are willing, the little one will go over there and buy you a table of good dishes?"

"Go ahead. Shang Luo waved his hand.

"Well, the two masters will wait a while, and the little one will go back when he goes. ”

"Brother Tai is bold...... Hiccup......" Ren Juntong laughed and hiccuped.

Shang Luo smiled and didn't speak, but just poured Ren Juntong another glass.

When interacting with people, the most taboo is stingy, not to mention that it is just driven by money, which is nothing.

He now carries a lot of silver taels with him, and in the hill outside the merchant town, there is still the gold and silver night pearl he got at the Yang family. As for the Star Yuan Baolian, "Yin Yuan Gong", Soul Nourishing Gourd and other precious things, he carried them with him.

Eat a meal until you are full.

Of course, Shang Luo didn't drink alcohol, he purely replaced wine with tea, but Ren Juntong drank three pots of Xingyuan wine that he brought with him, and he also drank three pots of aging wine that Xiao Er bought back from elsewhere, and for a while, the wine burped constantly.

"Hiccup...... I'm sorry, let my brother see you...... Belch...... smiled, Juntong has been a lifelong drinker since he was a child, and he saw good wine...... Belch...... I can't walk. ”

"Drinking alcohol relieves people's worries, and wine is a good thing. ”

"Good...... Belch...... Wine...... Knock ......"

Looking at Ren Juntong, who was drunk and blushing, Shang Luo shook his head, and his face became indifferent.

He was deliberately irrigating Ren Juntong just now, and later deliberately asked Xiao Er to buy three pots of aged wine, the kind with a high degree of thief, in order to set Ren Juntong's words.

When a person wakes up, what he says may not be true.

Of course, when you are drunk, what you say may not be true.

But in any case, the probability of telling the truth after drinking is still higher than when you are sober.

This son of the Ren family seemed miserable before, but no matter how Shang Luo looked at it, he had a suspicion of selling miserably, and without some means, he really didn't dare to be sure whether what the other party said before was true or false.

Now it seems that he has about 70% credibility in what he said.

"Demon Sect, ......" sighed in his heart, a touch of complexity appeared on Shang Luo's face, if there was no Shang Zhen, his original idea was to follow Yang Yue's route to escape to Xingluo, and turn back the same way, and then whether to join the Immortal Sect or the Demon Sect is another matter.

But now there's an opportunity to try.

According to Ren Juntong, the Xianmen used to recruit disciples not only to include the descendants of the major families, as long as there is a Dao species, they can be accepted, and ordinary people can also give it a try if they are willing.

It's just that these news have been blocked by the main lineage of various families in previous years, and not many people know about it, and it wasn't until this year that the Demon Sect recruited disciples, and some rumors leaked out.

And this is Shangluo's opportunity.

If he has a Dao seed, he will have the opportunity to worship the Demon Sect on the spot, if he doesn't have the opportunity, he is ready to follow the route of Yang Yue's diary and go through it again, to see if he can encounter any resources that change his qualifications, of course, even if he can't refine the qi, and go to the refining body, after all, it is more certain to go to a larger place to break through, after all, Xingluo is so scarce that the disciples of the Xianmen are unwilling to bring more, otherwise why should the disciples be recruited in the merchant town, the picture is to save time? This is also afraid of trouble and saves time.

"Xiao Er, send this son to Tianxiang Building. ”

"This son, Tianxianglou has long been closed to the public. ”

Picking up Ren Juntong, who was full of alcohol, Xiao Er was a little troubled: "Otherwise, the villain will send this son to the Tongfu Inn, where there are many empty rooms." ”

"Tongfu Inn, is the shopkeeper called Tong Xiangyu?"

"The villain didn't care, but I heard that the shopkeeper seems to be surnamed Liu. Xiao Er sneered, and he didn't understand why the guest officer in front of him asked such a strange question.

Tong Xiangyu: It sounds like a woman's name. Shopkeeper Liu, that's a real old man.

"I'm laughing. Shang Luo waved his hand: "This son lives in Room 13 of Tianxiang Building, just send it to the door, and the people inside know him." ”

At the time of the meal just now, Ren Juntong had already told where he lived.

"It turned out to be a young master from out of town. Xiao Er's eyes lit up, Tianxianglou has stopped accepting customers since the end of the month, in fact, everyone also knows that it is to make room for the young ladies and young masters of all ethnic groups who come to the merchant town. Their Zhangjia Teahouse is located opposite Tianxiang Building, so they know a lot of things in detail.

The rooms of Tianxianglou are divided into four specifications: A, B, C, D.

The first number is built on the island in the middle of the lake in the Tianxiang Building, and only accepts the most distinguished guests.

The B number is a detached luxury courtyard, even if there is an endless stream of nobles who come here during this period, it is not something that ordinary people can live in.

The C number is slightly worse and also has its own courtyard.

As for the T-shape, it is an ordinary room.

Of course, this ordinary is only relative to the three numbers of A, B and C, and compared to other inns in the merchant town, the most ordinary T-shaped is actually very luxurious.

And this kind of distinguished guests often give very generous tips.

"By the way, before sending him, take me to the Tongfu Inn. ”

"Okay, uncle. ”
