Chapter 183: Jia Erhu
According to Zhang Lan'er, her husband often came to this restaurant to deliver salt before his death, and he was also an acquaintance, so Yuan Shan let Zhang Lan'er come out of the mustard seed house before entering the restaurant.
Sure enough, as soon as I walked into the restaurant, I saw the shopkeeper greet him warmly. "Why is Sister-in-law Wu free?" This little two has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he looks a little cool. Zhang Lan'er was also kind to her, but she nodded and smiled slightly, and there was no difference on the face of the little er, which made Yuan Shan look at her.
The little second guessed that Yuan Shan was a certain niece of Zhang Lan'er, but she thought it was a child, so she didn't ask much, but she just looked at the two of them, and no one else was together, and couldn't help but be curious: "Sister-in-law, what about Brother Wu?" Why didn't I stay with you? ”
mentioned her deceased husband, Zhang Lan'er's face couldn't help but darken.
That little two works in a restaurant all the year round, and his ability to observe words and emotions is not bad. In addition, salt farmers are engaged in salt harvesting and drying all year round, and they all live by the sea, so accidents are common. Looking at Zhang Lan'er's expression, he knew that something was wrong. remembered that Wu Dahai was a calm man before his death, and he often came to the restaurant to deliver salt, so he was also a little polite.
This little second didn't want to make Zhang Lan'er sad. Immediately and cleverly changed the subject.
Yuan Shan and the others didn't come to eat, but to inquire about the Venerable Master. After all, Feng Guihua is just an ordinary woman, and her words can't be trusted. Always inquire before you act. Therefore, Yuan Shan ordered a few dishes at random, and she was not short of a few coins in the secular world at all. Therefore, although it is ordered at random, the dishes ordered are all famous side dishes in this restaurant.
The shopkeeper glanced at Yuan Shan a little more, originally thought that this girl was just a junior of Zhang Lan'er, and someone in the family had an accident, so the reason for coming to the city can be imagined, where did they know that they were still so generous. And it seems that the two of them are still the appearance of this little girl in charge, and they can't help but feel a little strange.
Although it is said that there are many fish and dragons in a place like a restaurant, there is basically no secret to eat after a few glasses of wine. It's easy to find out the secrets. But for the shopkeeper, unless it is overheard, if it is not a very familiar person, it is taboo to inquire about the privacy of customers without authorization. Therefore, Xiao Er also had to endure the curiosity in his heart. It's just that he still glanced at Yuan Shan one more time.
However, he saw that Yuan Shan's face was indifferent and had no special expression, so he didn't dare to ask, and went back to the kitchen to prepare food. Yuan Shan was satisfied, which was why she brought Zhang Lan'er to the restaurant. Although the Venerable Master Sogo was so sacrosanct in Feng Guihua's eyes, you must know that Feng Guihua was a woman, and her vision and identity were limited.
The number of immortal cultivators she could access was definitely limited. Therefore, it is certain that the cultivation of the Venerable Master of Soprano must not be high. That's absolutely true. As for how Feng Guihua learned about the cultivation of the Venerable Master Chongguang, Yuan Shan did not know this.
And a woman of Feng Guihua's status was able to contact the Venerable Master Sogo, so it can be seen that the Venerable Master Sogo must also be able to find out in these teahouses and restaurants. As for Zhang Lan'er who hadn't heard of the Venerable Master Sogo, it was also possible that the Venerable Master was not a monk in this small city in the first place. Rather, it is a later monk, who is usually new to a place, and if it is a casual practice, it may not be so high-profile. But if it's a small family, it's different.
The immortal cultivation realm is so big, and the resources are limited, so in any place, one more immortal cultivator will be divided into resources. This also makes it okay for immortal cultivators to travel around, but if they suddenly settle in a new place, they will be rejected.
And even more so with a family. But the migration of a small family, since it dares to settle in the local area so openly, naturally has some ability, since it is capable, it must be revealed when it first comes, so it will not be underestimated by the local monks. This is also a minimum of common sense.
And a new family has not heard of it, but it has heard of the Venerable Master Sogo, then this person must also be one of the best cultivators in this family, otherwise he will not be able to control the scene. It can be seen that the strength of this entire family will not be too strong. If it is too strong, Yuan Shan will probably have to spend some thought to save his little apprentice.
I have to say that having a treasure like Qianmian is of great benefit to Yuan Shan, whether it is cultivation, magic weapons, resources, or knowledge. And Yuan Shan was not a stupid person in the first place. Therefore, when I thought about it this way, I actually guessed the situation of the Venerable Master Sogo by eight or nine points. As for what the real situation was, she was going to the Venerable Master's family to find out. The disciple who dared to kidnap her Ruan Yuanshan was really tired of it.
The food in the restaurant was served quickly, because it was two women, but instead of serving wine, a good pot of tea was served. Yuan Shan sniffed it carefully, there was a faint fragrance, and she didn't have much appetite and even lifted her chopsticks and tasted a few bites. At this moment, a person came in at the door, and the shopkeeper saw it and hurriedly greeted him. "Ouch, second master, I haven't been here for a long time, and it's still the same?"
But I saw that it was a man in a brocade robe, the man looked about twenty or thirty years old, with a handsome face, but there was arrogance between his eyebrows and eyes, and it seemed that it was difficult to approach, but when he heard Xiao Er say this, his face also softened slightly. I saw him turn around and say a few words to the people behind him, and the two little girls behind him suddenly left, leaving a beautiful boy to continue to follow him.
After the little guy left, the man in the brocade robe turned to the shopkeeper and said, "I'm happy today, a few more pots of good wine, and there will be distinguished guests in a while." ”
When the little two heard it, they didn't know that there was a big business. Hurriedly said yes. This man is a famous merchant in this neighborhood, although he is only a mortal, but he is strong in martial arts, and it is said that he is recently taking the path of a cultivator family, because he wants to send his six-year-old daughter to cultivate.
Yuan Shan subconsciously raised her eyebrows. Zhang Lan'er glanced at the man, but her face changed slightly. "Sister, this person can't be messed with." It's just that seeing that Yuan Shan's face has not changed, he suddenly remembered that the girl in front of him was a monk at the peak of the late stage of foundation building, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he had been a mortal in the secular world for a long time, and he had almost forgotten that as an immortal cultivator, how could he be afraid of a secular person with strong martial arts?
But Yuan Shan's attention to this person made Zhang Lan'er strange. Could it be that you have taken a fancy to this person? Although Zhang Lan'er has been a mortal for so many years, her husband Wu Dahai is calm, although he is only a lowly salt farmer, he still has some connections and is respected in this small town closest to Xiaodao Village.
Therefore, it is natural to know about the people in this city. The name of this second master is Jia Erhu, don't look at this name is really cheesy, but whether it is his appearance or means, he is a man of the year in this city. Naturally, except for immortal cultivators.
Although in this land of Dongsha, immortal cultivators and mortals live together, there is still a clear boundary. It's like Yuan Shan can't see a single immortal cultivator in this restaurant. It is true that there is no distinction between monks and mortals in ordinary restaurants. However, there are also restaurants that only entertain immortal cultivators and are not open to mortals.
And some restaurants have no special regulations, but once an immortal cultivator arrives, then everyone else has to stand aside. And this Jia Erhu is one of the few nobles in this restaurant except for immortal cultivators.
But although this Jia Erhu is strong in martial arts and looks good, he has a family and even more children, which is ...... If Yuan Shan knew what Zhang Lan'er was thinking, she would probably only chuckle, and the reason why she paid attention to this man was naturally not because she fell in love with this man.
Instead, Yuan Shan sensitively felt that there seemed to be a trace of aura in his body, and this trace of aura was not something he had, that is, he had been in contact with an immortal cultivator or something full of aura. This made Yuan Shan look at him more. And Yuan Shan's undisguised gaze, Jia Erhu could naturally feel it.
Although it is said that the martial arts in the secular world cannot be compared with the Taoism, but the people who practice martial arts are undoubtedly more sensitive than ordinary people, especially Jia Erhu, a person who has cultivated a certain amount of internal strength, if Yuan Shan is not mistaken, this Jia Erhu has at least ten years of internal strength.
In other words, he started practicing martial arts when he was about four or five years old, and I have to say that this person is also a talent in the secular world. What are ordinary people doing at the age of four or five? Climbing trees and picking melons, at least Yuan Shan didn't understand anything when she was four or five years old. Therefore, I have some admiration for this person.
That Jia Erhu clearly felt that someone was staring at him, and he was about to be angry who was so provocative. Staring at a person all the time in the secular world is undoubtedly considered provocative, even in the world of cultivating immortals.
But what Jia Erhu didn't expect was that looking at him was a girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, this girl had delicate facial features but was not brilliant, wearing a well-tailored goose yellow dress. It's just that his face has a hint of youth and maturity. It doesn't look harmonious.
Jia Erhu glanced at the woman beside her, but her eyes lit up, although this woman was wearing a plain linen dress, she could not hide her beauty, especially her skin was like condensing jade, and her facial features were exquisite. Jia Erhu couldn't help but marvel, when did there be such an outstanding woman in this small city.
It was Zhang Lan'er who saw it. And Zhang Lan'er also felt Jia Erhu's gaze, and her delicate face showed a little dissatisfaction. Najia Erhu couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw the beauty's unhappy face and her woman's bun. It's just that in a blink of an eye, he changed his mind and walked over to the two.
"This sister-in-law, in Xia Jia Erhu, is polite." Zhang Lan'er didn't want to be involved with this person, but Yuan Shan glanced at him, and when she saw that she didn't understand, she passed the sound again, Zhang Lan'er was slightly surprised when she heard it, but soon her face changed.
saw her coquettishly laughed: "It turned out to be Second Master Jia, who has been admired for a long time." Jia Erhu saw that the beauty actually knew her name, and his expression softened a lot, "I don't know if there is such an honor here?" Jia Erhu made a gesture to sit down, because after listening to Yuan Shan's transmission, Zhang Lan'er naturally wished that Jia Erhu would take the initiative to sit down.
She was originally the eldest lady of the Sea Clan, and she was rude and willful, so she didn't look delicate and pretentious at all when she played a delicate beauty, and there was a hint of domineering in her softness, which was really unstoppable.
This Zhang Lan'er deliberately talked to Jia Erhu because of Yuan Shan's gesture, and this Jia Erhu wanted to make the beauty smile, so the two naturally chatted very speculatively. After a while, the shopkeeper went and returned, and Jia Erhu ordered to set up a table at the next table.
The shopkeeper was slightly surprised, who didn't know that this master always came to ask for a private room, and this time he chose to be in the hall, which is really strange. It's just that Zhang Lan'er was relieved to see Zhang Lan'er smiling coquettishly, but she still had a little wonder in her heart. In the past, when Wu Dahai came to deliver salt, Zhang Lan'er would occasionally come with him.
The two looked like they were raising their eyebrows together, and they were very affectionate, but they didn't expect that Brother Wu had just left, and this sister-in-law Wu would ...... Hey, that's true...... But when the shopkeeper saw that Zhang Lan'er's face was a little haggard, he finally sighed, it is not easy to be a woman. At this moment, the little guy who left behind Jia Erhu came back, but he whispered a few words in Jia Erhu's ear,
Jia Erhu's face changed slightly, and seeing Zhang Lan'er's worried face, his mood suddenly improved, and he said, "That guest is not here, so how about adding food to the sister-in-law?" Talking about asking Zhang Lan'er for what he meant. Zhang Lan'er glanced at Yuan Shan without a boundary glance, and when she saw her bow her head, she understood. He immediately nodded, "Then thank you, Brother Jia." ”
With Zhang Lan'er's beauty and deliberate friendship, she soon got Na Jia Erhu drunk, so naturally she asked what to say, and Yuan Shan and the others quickly learned what they wanted to know.
But I don't know if it was an accident or a coincidence, Jia Erhu planned to send his daughter to the family of the Master of Sogo, the Venerable Master's surname was Xu, and his name was Sogo, so he proclaimed himself the Venerable Master of Sogo, because this small city was not big, and the highest cultivation was only the top level of Qi cultivation, so no one dared to have any objections to this self-proclaimed Master Sogo.
As Yuan Shan guessed, the Venerable Master Sogo was the highest cultivator in their family, and their family seemed to be a little different from other immortal cultivation families, it was said that because they had just moved from the open sea, they needed to become powerful, so they recruited disciples in this small city.
Although he is a disciple, once he enters the door of the Xu family, it is like signing a deed of sale. It's just that unlike recruiting people, they only recruit boys and girls with spiritual roots, and once they are sure that they have spiritual roots, they can enter the Xu Mansion, even if the spiritual roots are a little worse, as long as they are willing to work hard, it doesn't matter. And if he succeeds in cultivation in the future, he will be allowed to return to his family and start a family if he succeeds in building a foundation.
Of course, if you don't want to go back, you can also change your surname to Xu and stay in Xu's house to make an offering. This is a good thing, whether it is in the Eastern Continent that Yuan Shan is familiar with or in this land of Dongsha, the days of scattered cultivation are extremely difficult. Moreover, it is not easy to do casual cultivation to get an exercise, and there is no senior to guide the cultivation. Of course, a lucky person like Yuan Shan is a rare accident.
In the Eastern Continent, some parents who are eager for immortal fate are looking forward to the sect recruiting disciples and sending their children to "become immortals". And in this Dongsha land, as far as Yuan Shan knows, because the sect and the family coexist, and the relationship between the sect and the family is also inextricably linked, which also makes it much easier for the sect to recruit disciples.
Because many children with bad backgrounds, that is, mortals born with spiritual roots, and their qualifications are not good, mainly the children of the four spiritual roots and the five spiritual roots have no chance to enter the sect for cultivation at all. Families generally maintain blood relations and rarely attract talents from outside. R1152
