Chapter Seventy-Six: The Mysterious Traveler

"Further on, it's the realm of the stars, be careful."

"Got it."

The old empress dowager and Sima Qing and their entourage found a place to live in the town, and as soon as Luo He and Rong Xuan's escort arrived, they could go up the mountain to pray. Xiao Zhi used the excuse of observing the people's feelings, got the permission of the old queen mother, and left alone with Song Qinglian and Wu Haoze to investigate the matter about Xingchen.

The three of them drove in a car and braved the heavy snow to talk and walk, and it was not until the end of the Shen Dynasty that they arrived at a small inn nearby. Xiao Zhen's whole body was wrapped like a snowman, and while carefully stepping on the frozen mirror-like river, he asked Song Qinglian: "This place, why is it so cold!" ”

"For various reasons, after all, it is a mountain, and the qi here is very dense, which may also have an impact on the climate. Otherwise, how could Xingchen use this as a research base? Song Qinglian saw that he had entered the densely populated area, and he was no longer restrained in speaking.

"Tonight, we will rest in the old store in Dexing, the side courtyard is occupied by a few horse dealers, and the main courtyard is all inclusive for us, just rest assured." Wu Haoze said succinctly, "It's said that it's a horse dealer, and nine times out of ten people who can come to this remote place are traversers, be careful." ”

At this time, it has entered the unitary card, according to the white weather, it is dark early. Because of the snow, the snow is shining, and the facades on both sides of the street are still faintly visible; There was no sign of people on the streets, and even the barking of dogs could not be heard. Several people set up vehicles on the street and unloaded their luggage.

The shopkeeper, who was alarmed, greeted him with a lantern and greeted him with a smile, and hurriedly greeted: "It's hard for you to rush with such a heavy snow!" I'm supposed to be staying at the first stop! Please come in, it's just that our mountain and wilderness store is difficult to compare with other places......" The shopkeeper was very attentive and talkative, pushed the door of the store wide open with both hands, and let them and his group inside, shouting: "The guests have arrived, quickly get some hot water and send it in!" ”

"What," Song Qinglian suddenly stopped and asked, "Isn't the main courtyard already covered by us, why are there guests again?" ”

"Huh!" The shopkeeper sighed, "They had just arrived the hour before, and the other shops were full of people—a Taoist priest, a scholar—and the snow was so heavy that they were all frozen like turnips, so I had the courage to settle them." Fortunately, there are only three of you, and the courtyard is spacious! ”

Having to share a room with two strangers at once is extremely dangerous in this remote and unfamiliar place! Song Qinglian listened, his face became gloomy, and he stopped without waiting for him to finish speaking: "Fart!" Even if the king of heaven comes, you have to place them out! Xiao Zhi listened and hurriedly said: "Forget it, it's just one night, let's just take a moment, we'll go tomorrow morning." ”

"Say it briskly!" Song Qinglian looked at the shopkeeper with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but get angry, so he said: "But my deposit is to give him five refining stones at once, plus a box of China, and pay fifty taels of silver for one night, can you earn it by opening a store for half a year?" Don't look at us and bully us because we're not from this neighborhood! ”

"Oh, so you're ...... too"

"Hehe, come here and do some small business." The shopkeeper was embarrassed by his training, and Nuo Nuo apologized repeatedly: "But the matter has come to this point, it's not good to get rid of people, everyone is a person who has finally crossed over, and it can be convenient and convenient." He laughed dryly.

"The world can live in the world!" As soon as the door of the west wing opened, a young man dressed as a Taoist priest walked out, holding a dust whisk and a seven-star sword on his back, very elegant and handsome, and said, "If you have money, you have to buy this uneven!" What would you do if I had ten refining stones and one Chinese monk out at this time? Even that scholar came in with me with a hard rub, and he didn't do the shopkeeper's business, so if you have something to say, just tell me! ”
