Qin Mo drove for three days and finally walked out of this mountain forest, and continued to walk north for another day before finally seeing a small city.

The name of the small town is Phoenix City, and legend has it that the location of this small city was originally a forest, and then a seriously injured phoenix bird fell in this forest, and it didn't take long for this forest to turn into a sea of fire, and the phoenix bird disappeared without a trace with the fire.

Later, some people moved to live in this vacant land, and later a small town was built here. Some people say that after the death of the Phoenix Divine Bird, his divine consciousness did not dissipate, but remained in this land and has been guarding this land. In order to commemorate this phoenix bird, later generations named this small city Phoenix City.

After Qin Mo entered the city, he went straight to a small restaurant and ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine.

In the past few days, he has been walking through the mountains and forests, and when he is hungry, he will catch some pheasants and hares in the mountains and forests and roast them. He had never baked these things before, and now the smell of the baked things can be imagined, basically nine times out of ten, they are roasted like black charcoal. Once, I didn't pay attention to it, and I burned a hare that was placed on the shelf.

He can only stay half-full for the past few days. Every meal has to roast more than a dozen pheasants and hares to be able to roast a small piece that can be barely swallowed, and now when you enter the city, you naturally have to solve the problem of eating first.

After a short time, the shopkeeper brought a sumptuous wine and food. Qin Mo didn't wait for the shopkeeper to say hello, then picked up the chopsticks and began to eat Haisai.

The shopkeeper who was standing on the side looked at Qin Mo with a strange gaze, he didn't expect that Qin Mo looked like a gentle boy when he came in just now, how could he become this starving ghost in a blink of an eye.

Qin Mo didn't care about the eyes of the other people around him, he just ate and drank by himself, and after a while, he swept away the wine and food on the table.

After eating and drinking, he stood up and wanted to find another inn to sleep well, but he hadn't slept well in the mountains for the past few days. At this time, Qin Mo seemed to remember something, glanced at the shopkeeper standing next to him, and then touched his nose.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper walked over: "Guest officer, can this wine and food match your appetite?"

Qin Mo nodded and said, "It's very appetizing." But he didn't dare to look at the shopkeeper with a straight face.

"Are you satisfied with your meal?" the shopkeeper continued to ask with a smile on his face.

Qin Mo naturally knew that the shopkeeper was urging him to pay the bill, but at this time, he didn't have a penny in his pocket, so he had to nod and say, "Very satisfied." ”

Next, the shopkeeper asked seven or eight similar questions in a row, while Qin Mo nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking rice.

In the end, the shopkeeper didn't have to guess to know that the person in front of him had no money to pay the bill, so he was so sloppy with himself: "The guest officer's wine and food are a total of two taels of silver, do you think you settled the account first?"

Qin Mo smiled awkwardly and said, "Little second brother...... That one...... Forehead...... Can you take credit here?"

As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately became angry, and said: "It turns out that I want to eat the overlord meal, if I don't give you some color, you are a bully in our small shop." ”

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he wanted to reach out to grab Qin Mo, when the shopkeeper in the store came over and said, "Who doesn't have a problem when you go out, Ah Fei, how can you do it to the guest, let him go." ”

The old shopkeeper had all white hair, his face was full of wrinkles, and his body looked very thin, wearing a very ordinary gray cloth robe, which looked like an old man with a wind and candle. But the old man's slightly cloudy eyes are extremely deep, giving people a sense of vicissitudes, insight into everything, and unfathomable.

The shopkeeper was very in awe of the old shopkeeper, and retreated without saying anything.

Qin Mo arched his hand to the old shopkeeper: "Thank you for the shopkeeper's understanding, he will personally return the meal money one day." ”

The old shopkeeper smiled and waved his hand: "Young man, you and I are destined, and I will invite you to this meal." ”

Qin Mo said: "How dare you be disrespectful under the good intentions of the shopkeeper, I understand your intentions, but it is natural to give money for dinner." ”

The old shopkeeper nodded, "Then you will come back when you have money, and you are welcome to be a guest at any time." ”

Qin Mo thanked the old shopkeeper again, and then turned around and left the shop.

Shortly after Qin Mo left, he was in a room in the backyard of the small restaurant.

"Master, why did you let that kid go just now? He's just a second-order monk, and although he can be considered a master at his age, it doesn't take much trouble to keep him. ”

"Ah Fei, this young man is not as simple as he looks. ”

"Could it be that he is hiding his strength, but I obviously feel that he only has a second-order cultivation?"

"It's true that he's only a second-order realm now, far inferior to you, but his qualifications and potential are by no means extraordinary. ”

"Master, who is he? Could it be the reincarnation of some senior's power?"

"You'll see him again one day, and even fight him, and you'll know when the time comes. ”

After Qin Mo left the small restaurant, he kept thinking about the old shopkeeper just now. He felt that although the old shopkeeper looked old and unbearable in the red dust, there was a detachment in his words and demeanor, especially his deep and vicissitudes of life showed his extraordinary.

The more Qin Mo thought about it, the more he felt that the old shopkeeper was not ordinary, but he couldn't guess the identity of the old shopkeeper at all, so he could only shake his head and stop thinking about it.

The most important issue he faced at the moment was money, and he was thinking about how to get a fortune.

Qin Mo thought as he walked along the street, and suddenly there was a large group of cavalry rushing forward quickly, as if there was something urgent, and the person at the head was a richly dressed son.

Qin Mo retreated to the side of the road with the others, avoiding the speeding cavalry.

At this time, an old man on the side of the road shook his head and sighed: "Alas...... I don't know if it was the unlucky ghost who offended the son of the city lord again. ”

Qin Mo didn't understand very well and asked the old man, "Old man, what do you mean by what you just said, and what kind of person is the city lord's son?"

"This little brother, you must have just come to Phoenix. ”

Qin Mo nodded, and the old man continued: "That Gongzi brother just now is the son of the city lord, named Cao Kun, who is recognized as the number one bully in Phoenix City, and he relied on his family power to do everything to bully men and women. Just now, he swaggered through the market, presumably to harm someone again. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Qin Mo and found that Qin Mo had already disappeared from his side.

Qin Mo followed the cavalry just now and flew away.
