After the people of the Red Feather Pavilion left the "Shun Fuhua" restaurant, the people of the Shenhuo Hall were stunned for a long time, and then they also cleaned up and left the restaurant.

In the hall on the first floor of the Nuoda Restaurant, Xiao Ding and the old man of the Spirit Sword Villa were left. And the guy with a bitter face like he had eaten bitter melon.

The shopkeeper complained quietly as he cleaned up the tables and chairs that were staggering on the floor, and the cups, plates and dishes that were broken all over the floor.

Xiao Ding was still holding the wine glass and drinking slowly, as if nothing had happened just now, still savoring the delicious dishes with relish.

The old man looked at Tian Xiaoding, who was calm and calm, and suddenly asked, "Young man, which sect are you, it's not simple!" ”

Xiao Ding raised his head, glanced at the old man, and then replied: "In Shimoda Xiaoding, there is no sect, I am not from the rivers and lakes." ”

"Huh? You're not one of the rivers and lakes! Then you must also know martial arts, I see that the sword you wear is not like an ordinary product! The old man was a little surprised when he heard Xiao Ding say that he was not from the rivers and lakes.

"Actually, I don't know much about martial arts, I just have more strength than ordinary people. This sword was given to me by Lord Zhizhou, so I took it with me. Xiao Ding replied truthfully.

"You don't know martial arts? Then are you willing to worship under the door of my Spirit Sword Villa? Li Jianhao, the owner of Lingjian Villa, is my nephew, if you want to worship my Lingjian Villa, I will talk to him and let him accept you as an apprentice. The old man said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Thank you for the kindness of the old man, but I still have official business in the next place, and I can't worship under the door of Guishan Villa." Xiao Ding declined the old man's invitation.

Xiao Ding knew very little about the major forces on the rivers and lakes, and most of them learned from Fan Sanpang. So he didn't know what kind of existence this Spirit Sword Villa was at all. He had only heard of Plum Sword Villa and Edgeworth Villa, because the Mei sisters were from Plum Sword Villa, and the Ou brothers and sisters were the only survivors of Edgeworth Villa at the moment.

"It's a pity, it's a pity!" The old man sighed: "Tian Shaoxia, just now the people of the Red Feather Pavilion and the people of the Divine Fire Hall fought so fiercely, why didn't you stay away?" Aren't you afraid that it will affect you? ”

"Hehe, old man, didn't you avoid it either!" Xiao Ding did not answer positively, but laughed and teased the old man.

"Haha, although the old man is old, he is not afraid of the people of their Red Feather Pavilion, but Tian Shaoxia, you said that you don't understand martial arts, and you still have such courage, it is really admirable to the old man!" The old man still looked very optimistic about Xiao Ding.

When Xiao Ding heard the old man say this, he also grinned and asked, "I don't know what kind of sect this Red Feather Pavilion is?" Why did they meddle in the affairs of Mu Wangfu? ”

"It seems that Tian Shaoxia knows very little about the things on the rivers and lakes! This Akabane Pavilion is one of the best sects in Zhongzhou, and they usually earn income by helping the government investigate and solve cases, and helping private people investigate certain private matters. Don't you see that the clothes they wear are very similar to the clothes of the officials, they actually have the government behind them as the backstage. There are often cases that the government can't solve, and they can be solved by handing them over to Akabane Pavilion. This time there was an accident in Mu Wangfu, presumably Mu Wangfu paid them to investigate the case. The old man answered Xiao Ding in detail.

"Oh, I see!" Xiao Ding finally understood that this Chibane Pavilion was similar to the detective agency of later generations, mainly to help the government investigate and solve cases, and occasionally take on some private work, to check the evidence that a certain lord was prostituting outside with his wife, or to check the evidence of corruption and bribery of a certain official.

"So, old man, how did you know that there was a Red Refining Flame Fruit in King Mu's Mansion? What is the effect of this Red Refining Flame Fruit? Xiao Ding then asked the question in his heart.

"A month ago, King Mu led his guards out of the city to hunt in Funiu Mountain in western Beijing, and accidentally found five Red Refining Flame Fruits. It is said that there is also a fire-breathing red snake guarding the fruit near the tree. Later, after King Mu ordered someone to lure away the red refining snake, he sent someone to pick five fruits. After going back, one of King Mu's concubines, who didn't know what this fruit was, saw that it was tempting, so she couldn't help but steal one, but she didn't know martial arts, didn't know how to refine this fruit, and finally exploded and died. This matter has been spread all over the city, and it has been spread all over the rivers and lakes, so why don't I know? The old man patiently told Xiao Ding.

"As for the function of this fruit, I don't know the specifics, it's all rumors from the rivers and lakes. I heard that the ancestor of Yuqingmen had obtained this fruit before he became an immortal, so everyone thought that after eating this fruit, he would become an immortal and live forever. The old man continued.

"That old man, you stole this fruit, aren't you afraid of dying from exploding if you take it?" Xiao Ding frowned.

"Of course I'm afraid, so I won't take it lightly until I find a way to take it." The old man smiled and said.

The two were chatting hotly in the restaurant, when suddenly someone came to the door again.

"Li Xingchen, I didn't expect you to be alive as an old immortal! How? While I'm not here, I'll bully my juniors! Do you want this old face! "There was an old man wearing the costume of the Red Feather Pavilion standing at the door of the restaurant, his age was estimated to be about the same as that of the old man in Lingjian Villa, his face was flushed, his hair and beard were white, but his every move was clean and neat, and he didn't look old at all.

"Hey, it turns out that the Mo Chengtian Ink Pavilion Lord is here in person! Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! You and I haven't seen each other in twenty years, have we? Li Xingchen, the old man of Spirit Sword Villa, got up and said.

"You old guy rarely come to get close to me, quickly hand over the Red Refining Flame Fruit you stole. We, the Red Feather Pavilion, have to do loyal things when we collect people's money, and we have to help Lord Mu get this Red Refining Flame Fruit back no matter what. The Lord of the Ink Pavilion, known as Mo Chengtian, said unceremoniously.

"It seems that you and I, after twenty years, are going to fight again! Last time you and I were tied, I don't know how your martial arts are progressing after these twenty years! Li Xingchen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"It seems that you don't want to hand over this Red Refining Flame Fruit today, so let's have a fight!" Saying that, Mo Chengtian pulled out a red feather-shaped machete, and then ordered the few people from the Red Feather Pavilion who followed him: "I'm going to fight with Old Man Li, you guys retreat for the time being, don't interfere!" ”

Li Xingchen did not show weakness, and slowly drew his colorful broad-bladed sword again. Show your posture, and this is going to happen.

At this time, the shopkeeper nodded and walked over, and said with a smile on his face: "I said uncles, can you fight elsewhere, I just cleaned up the table and chairs, and no one has compensated for the damage before......

As soon as Mo Chengtian, the owner of the Red Feather Pavilion, saw that the shopkeeper said this, he took out a piece of silver and threw it over, saying, "These should be counted as the previous compensation." Let's go out and fight. ”

Then, he turned to Li Xingchen and said, "Old man Li, it seems that we have to change places to fight, it doesn't seem to be very convenient here." ”

Li Xingchen also said without fear: "If you change it, I will be afraid that you will not succeed." As he spoke, he stood up and picked up the burden at the table.

Mo Chengtian, the master of the Red Feather Pavilion, also put away his knife and turned around and led people towards the door. Li Xingchen followed behind. Before going out, he turned his head to Xiao Ding and said: "Today and Tian Shaoxia hit it off at first sight, if he has a chance to get married, he will talk to Xiaoyou in detail!" ”

Xiao Ding hugged his fist towards Li Xingchen, smiled slightly and didn't speak. He had the heart to follow the two old men over to see the excitement, but he was worried that he would get into trouble because of this, so he didn't go out with him.

So, in the whole restaurant, in the end, Xiao Ding was left to sit there and drink alone.
