Since Xu Jun sued the killer of the Heavenly Court, the formula of the elixir of immortality was brought to him, the villages along the way were peaceful, and there was no such thing as poisoning ordinary people, which made Xu Jun breathe a sigh of relief, both a little happy and a little crying and laughing.

He didn't know whether to say that the killers of Heavenly Court were smart or stupid, and they believed his words so lightly, did he look like a righteous gentleman? What if the box doesn't contain the formula of the elixir of immortality, or the formula of the fake elixir of immortality?

However, no matter what, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, as long as it does not affect the innocent, it is worth it. Although he is not a good person, he must not harm people's hearts, which is the most basic criterion for dealing with people.

Xiao Hei looked up at the gray mountains and forests in front of him and said, "Brother Xu, I heard from the widower who drove the car in the village that the front is basically full of mountains and forests, and there are no people in a radius of five hundred miles. However, as long as we follow the mountain road and pass through this mountain forest, we will enter Jiangnan. ”

Xu Jun rode on the horse and nodded, but did not speak. His face was a little solemn, because usually this kind of mountain and forest area is the most suitable for ambushes, and he didn't want people to make dumplings.

Wanyan Zongtian muttered: "Brother Xu, I don't understand a little, why don't we take the water road, we must take the mountain road?" ”

The fastest way to get from the north to the south is by boat, which takes several times longer and takes a long detour. Wanyan Zongtian really couldn't figure out why Xu [Jun was willing to seek the near and far, asking for trouble.

Xu Jun glared at Yan Zongtian with disdain and said, "Do you know how to swim?" ”

Wanyan Zongtian shook his head, and Xu Jun snorted disdainfully: "Then you still take a fart waterway, the Heavenly Court Killer is following behind us, and it is possible to attack at any time, you can't even swim, in case the boat is scuttled, we don't even have a chance to fight back, and we are all drowned directly." It is better to surrender directly and strive for leniency. ”

Wanyan Zongtian blinked, and suddenly realized: "I see, it's still Brother Xu's thoughtfulness." But Brother Xu, there is something that weighs on my heart and does not vomit unpleasantly, didn't you say that the formula of the elixir of immortality has not arrived? Why is it suddenly on you again? ”

"Is this this" Xu Jun touched his nose, not knowing how to answer Yan Zongtian's question. The more familiar people are, the more trivial things tend to cause friction. On the contrary, it is a person with an average relationship, commonly known as an outsider, who will take it for granted no matter what he does.

If Xu Jun and Wanyan Zongtian were still first acquaintances. Then Yan Zongtian wouldn't care about Xu Jun deceiving him, but the two of them had experienced ups and downs together, and they were friends of life and death. In this relationship, if Xu Jun deceived him, he would be very sad and sad.

Xu Jun cleared his throat, rolled his eyes, and said in his heart: "You are the brother of Young Master Ben, how could Young Master Ben lie to you?" In fact, when you asked Young Master Ben. The formula of the elixir of immortality is indeed not in the hands of this young master. But after you fell asleep, Guiguzi found Young Master Ben, called Young Master Ben to the cliff of the back mountain, and gave Young Master Ben the formula of the elixir of immortality. Because he was afraid that the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace would be in trouble. The formula of the elixir of immortality will not be kept, so I want this young master to leave with the formula of the elixir."

"I see, I'll just say, how could Brother Xu lie to me?" Xu Jun's words are full of loopholes. If Guiguzi wants to give him the formula for the elixir of immortality, tell him that he will give it when he leaves at night, how could he suddenly appear in the middle of the night? And. After Xu Jun got the formula for the elixir of immortality, why didn't he squeak, and he didn't tell Yan Zongtian at all. If Wanyan Zongtian is not a big grinning character, if you think about it carefully, you will definitely find it boring.

But many times, people do not want to believe the so-called facts, but prefer to believe sweet lies, which is human nature and cannot be changed. Wanyan Zongtian believed Xu Jun's words, and became smiling again, and his eyebrows danced. Perhaps, life is a rare confusion, and people who like to get to the bottom of things too much are usually not happy.

The speed of Xu Jun's group was extremely slow, because the mountain road under their feet was not only rugged and muddy, but also winding, and the horses could not run fast.

In ancient times, the road was mostly walked out by people, not paved by the imperial court, and this mountain road was walked by countless merchants, day after day, year after year, for an unknown number of years, before they barely got out of the shape of the road. With this road, the people who passed by did not have to go over the mountains and mountains, trek through mountains and rivers, as long as they followed this road all the way, they could pass through the continuous mountains.

Xu Jun and his entourage walked for more than half a month, which can be described as dusty and miserable. The four of them didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, the dry food and water were well prepared, and they could get some game to satisfy their hunger, but they couldn't stand too many mosquitoes along the way, and they even stopped with a full hand.

In addition, the people of the Chinese nation, who did not grow up on horseback, have been riding horses for a long time, and their buttocks are hot, how uncomfortable and uncomfortable it is, it is simply itchy and unbearable. But there was no hardship that people could not endure, and the four of them gritted their teeth and hurried, and finally came to the end of the mountain road two months later.

The end of the mountain road is connected to the official road, as long as you follow the official road, you can enter the city, and then Xu Jun and the four of them can find an inn and rest for a night. Unexpectedly, as soon as the four of them stepped on the official road, they saw a simple liquor shop surrounded by fences and wooden stakes on the side of the road, which made Wanyan Zongtian almost jump up from his horse in excitement.

"Brother Xu, there is a wine shop ahead, let's go over and cut five catties of sauce beef, and drink two glasses of wine to relieve fever."

Xu Jun frowned and said, "What are you looking for a wine shop, you want to drink and want to go crazy?" ”

Wanyan Zongtian explained: "Brother Xu, you can see for yourself, the name of that wine shop is to find a wine shop. ”

"Damn, there is such a strange name" Xu Jun was dumbfounded, followed Yan Zongtian's fingers and looked up, and sure enough, he saw an extremely simple wine shop, and he was a little puzzled.

On a hot day, the throats of the roasters are about to smoke, and who doesn't want to drink two glasses of cold wine, but it's a little strange that this liquor shop has obviously just been built, and the stakes are still wet. Although he is invincible to all poisons and is bold, he is careful to make the Ten Thousand Years Boat, he doesn't want to stage a Great Qin version of outwitting the Birth Gang.

"Guest officer, are you sharp-minded or staying in the hotel" An extremely well-behaved shopkeeper came out of the wine shop, took Xu Jun's four horses away and tied them up, Xu Jun glanced at the simple facilities of the wine shop in surprise and said, "You can still live here?" ”

Xiao Er nodded and said, "Guest officer, you can really laugh, we have a lot of rooms under this wine shop, of course you can stay in the hotel." ”

Xu Jun blinked, a little dazed for a moment, and then reacted. This liquor shop has a basement. But this is too early, although China's ancestors are smart, but when did they make underground buildings, they were not afraid of collapsing and burying people alive. And it seems that the ancients were a little superstitious, thinking that the underground is where the dead live, and it stands to reason that normal people are not willing to live in the basement, let alone build a basement?

He squinted his eyes and said, "Little brother, how can there be a wing room under the wine shop, are you a black shop?" Want to kill for money? ”

Xiao Er's face turned pale with fright, and he waved his hand desperately and said, "Guest officer, you can't talk nonsense, you want to kill your head." ”

Xu Jun was also funny when he saw Xiao Er's panicked appearance, and couldn't help laughing. Xiao Er explained: "Guest officer, do you know, this place was originally a city in the Spring and Autumn Period, due to the perennial war, the city built some stone houses underground, for the dignitaries and the dependents of some rich people to avoid the rocket stone ball. Later, the city was destroyed. The city lord would rather break the jade than make it whole, and set a fire to burn this place to ashes, but these underground stone houses remained."

"Oh. So that's the case..."Xu Jun suddenly realized that time can change a person's face, and it can also change the appearance of mountains and rivers. It can be said that there is nothing but spiritual things in this world. Nothing can remain eternal and unchanging. If anyone sues him, his location was a river of sand in ancient times. He wouldn't have found it strange.

"In that case, then let's stay here for one night, do you have hot water here, boil a few kettles of hot water for the four of us, we want to take a bath"

Xu Jun took out a piece of broken silver, Xiao Er hurriedly took it and stuffed it into his pocket, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, don't worry, I will move the wooden basin to your room in a while." ”

Xu Jun nodded with satisfaction, and under the guidance of Xiao Er, he strode into the wine shop. The moment he stepped into the wine shop, the noisy and lively wine shop suddenly became extremely quiet, and everyone put down the wine glasses in their hands and stared at him with complicated eyes.

Xu Jun frowned, not understanding why these people were looking at him. Wanyan Zongtian shuddered and said, "Brother Xu, something is wrong"

Xu Jun's face was expressionless, and he lowered his voice and said, "Sit down first, don't make a sound." The soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, and we will wait and see what these people want to do. ”

Wanyan Zongtian nodded, and hurriedly put his mind on eating and drinking again. A middle-aged man who was short and fat, holding an abacus in his hand and a two-figure mustache on his lips, came to Xu Jun and said, "Guest officer, what do you want?" ”

"You're the shopkeeper here?"

"Yes, the small one is this shopkeeper, surnamed Wu."

"Oh" Xu Jun blinked, thinking to himself, this girl can't be the ancestor of Wu Dalang, this figure is too miserable and inhumane. He narrowed his eyes, casually glanced at the weapons carried by the guests in the room, and said, "Shopkeeper, how can there be so many martial arts people here?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Guest officer, the little one doesn't know, it's just that half a month ago, a large number of martial arts people suddenly came here, I heard that the inns in the city are full, and the small ones are almost full, only two stone houses are left, and the guest officer is going to come a day late, and there is no place to live." ”

"Two stone houses" Jin Huanfeng suddenly came to his senses, his eyes shot two hot lights, and Xu Jun was speechless for a while. He glared at Jin Huanfeng fiercely, and scolded in his heart: "Uncle, how can you be more vulgar than Young Master Ben, when the hell is this, can you still think of that, I rely on..."

Xu Jun cleared his throat, and just wanted to ask again, but the impatient Wanyan Zongtian hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, first come to two jars of good wine, and then cut twenty catties of good beef, and serve it quickly."

"Twenty catties" Xu Jun was startled, his eyes almost bulged out, what about this Ni Mei's pig, she is still twenty catties, and she is not afraid of dying.

"Okay, guest officer, you wait a moment" The shopkeeper nodded and left, and soon brought up four large plates, all of which were cut beef.

Xu Jun sniffed with his nose and found that the beef was smooth and delicious, and couldn't help but lick his lips. However, walking in the rivers and lakes, you must not have the heart of harming people, and you must have the heart of preventing people. He took out a silver needle, inserted it twice on the beef, and after making sure that the beef was not poisonous, he ate it with confidence and poured himself another bowl of wine.

The wine in the wine shop was taken out of the ground, and the entrance was cold and biting, Xu Jun drank three bowls in a row, and felt extremely comfortable. But he didn't dare to be greedy, because he knew something was going to happen. People in the rivers and lakes in the wine shop. It was impossible to stare at him for no reason, which made him sense a hint of danger. However, he is not afraid of the killers of Heavenly Court, how can he care about some unpopular goods.

"Who of you is the shopkeeper here, come out to this official..."An extremely burly strong man, dressed in the clothes of an official, with a long knife hanging from his waist, and a team of officials, suddenly entered from outside the wine shop with a fierce momentum.

Xu Jun frowned. I don't know which one this is singing again. However, things are getting more and more interesting, officials and people in the rivers and lakes have come to this small wine shop, and eighty percent of the killers of the heavenly court are also mixed in it, which is a hodgepodge.

The shopkeeper of Wu grovelled and said: "This official, I don't know what you have to do here, the little one only paid the money yesterday."

"Bastard, such a good place for you to occupy, don't pay more. Handed it over yesterday. Don't you have to pay it today? The strong man grabbed the clothes of the shopkeeper Wu viciously, and almost lifted the whole person of the shopkeeper Wu. Jin Huanfeng frowned, put down the chopsticks in her hand and wanted to have a seizure, but Xu Jun hurriedly grabbed her hand. He shook his head at her.

The rivers and lakes have their own rules, and those who blindly break the rules are not pulling out their swords to help, they are harming others and themselves. Imagine that if Jin Huanfeng is in charge of the affairs of the government, it is not equivalent to harming the shopkeeper. When she patted her ass and left, the shopkeeper could run, the monk couldn't run the temple, and she had to shed her skin if she didn't die.

"The official is angry. The official is angry, the little one will give you the money..."The Wu shopkeeper hurriedly took out two ingots of silver and stuffed them into the hands of the strong man, the strong man cracked the blood basin and smiled and said: "Count you as an old boy, otherwise I will tear down your shop today." What do you see, I haven't seen the official errand, who allowed you to walk around with weapons, no matter how fucking you dare to look, the official will arrest you all"

The wine shop instantly became quieter, all the drinkers lowered their heads, eating wine and food by themselves, the people did not fight with the officials, and the people in the rivers and lakes did not have a conflict with the government unless they had to, especially on this occasion.

The strong man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Shopkeeper, the brothers have been riding horses for a long time in order to come to you, so quickly bring your best wine and quench the thirst of the brothers."

"Official, wait a while, the wine and food will be delivered immediately" The shopkeeper hurriedly arranged for Xiao Er to serve the wine and food, and the strong man and the officials ate and drank. This made Xu Jun suddenly feel a burst of sadness, officials are different from people in the martial arts, and they have an extra responsibility to serve the country on their shoulders. But now that the barbarians have entered the Central Plains, these officials don't know how to share worries for the country, and they are still acting as a prestige and oppressing the people, is such a court really worthy of allegiance?

As the sky got dark, an official stood up and said, "Head, it's not early, let's go back, the adults are still waiting for us to make an errand." ”

The strong man stood up drunken and said, "You go to lead the horse first, and the official will go to the toilet and follow immediately."

The officers nodded, and one of the officials walked out of the room first. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got on his horse and was about to leave, he suddenly fell to the ground with a scream, rolled on the ground in pain, and in a short time he was bleeding and foaming at the mouth, and his legs were kicked back to the sky. And the horses under his crotch also fell to the ground with a cry of sorrow, convulsions all over, and a whimper.

There was a dead silence in the wine shop for a moment, the strong man blinked, the wine immediately woke up halfway, he rushed out with the messengers, and saw that on the ground not far from the door of the wine shop, four big words were written: "Those who leave without permission die"

The strong man said angrily: "Damn, who dares to kill the official, it's tired and crooked, two dogs, look at how the mud monkey died"

The servant, known as Ergouzi, hurriedly squatted down and examined it: "Mud monkeys are poisoned."

"Poisoned, I'm cǎo, the shopkeeper, you are so bold, say, is it poisoned by your old boy" The strong man grabbed the clothes of the Wu shopkeeper and lifted the Wu shopkeeper directly, and the Wu shopkeeper's legs kicked wildly and said: "The official saves his life, the official saves his life, even if the small one has the courage to do so, he doesn't dare to offend the official." If it is a small poison, then how can only one adult be poisoned. ”

The strong man thought about it, and the shopkeeper's words were reasonable. He put the shopkeeper down and stared viciously at the martial arts man sitting in the wine shop, his face extremely unkind. If this matter has nothing to do with the shopkeeper, then eighty percent is inseparable from the people in the wine shop. Although this strong man has been powerful all year round, he is not without any real materials, and he is also a head catcher, who has handled unjust, false and wrongful cases for many years, and still has a little analytical ability.

However, it is not so easy to find out who is the poisoner in the liquor store. There are a total of eight tables in the wine shop, one of which is occupied by Xu Jun and his party, the largest one by strong men, and six tables, all of which are full of martial artists who behave strangely.

It's strange to say, I don't know why, since Xu Jun entered the wine shop, the martial arts people at these six tables have all become silent, just constantly looking at Xu Jun from the corner of his eye, and his butt has not moved for two hours.

At the first table sat six martial artists with hats and a black veil in front of their faces. These six martial arts people are very distinctive, they only use one hand to pick up vegetables and drink, and the other hand has never left the sword placed on the table from beginning to end, they are obviously masters of using swords, and they are very likely to be proficient in some kind of sword formation of six people combined.

At the second table sat two men and two women, four young people. These four young people are richly dressed, and there is a sense of arrogance between their eyebrows, they are obviously the children of the martial arts family, and they are obviously two couples.

There was something strange about the third table, and to the left of the table sat a dirty old man dressed in tatters and covered with grease, who seemed to be a beggar. He only ordered a small plate of peanuts, but asked for two large jars of wine, and poured the wine from the jar into the gourd in his hand from time to time while drinking.

On the right side of the table, sat a middle-aged man wearing a robe, holding a paper fan, and having an angry face. The middle-aged man asked for a table full of wine and food, but he didn't clip a chopstick, just bowed his head and drank by himself, as if he was preoccupied.

At the fourth table sat four rude men with open arms and exposed belly and chest hair, and their weapons were varied, including brass hammers and rods, as well as glaive knives and long-handled axes, and they stood beside the table so that they were not intimidating. Since Xu Jun entered the wine shop, he has been talking in a low voice, saying a lot of unbearable words, either to discuss which girl in the kiln is beautiful, or to discuss his own affairs.

There were also four guests seated at the fifth table, but these four guests, whether they were dressed or behaved, were obviously not all the way, and obviously did not know each other. Each of the four men asked for two side dishes, and one occupied one side of the table to drink to himself, without saying a word to each other.

The sixth table was the strangest, there was only one guest, who was extremely handsome, but gave people a feeling of extreme coldness, and perhaps it was for this reason that the guests at the fourth table would rather be crammed into one table than share a table with this person.
