Outside the window, the cold wind was still howling.

Inside the window, on a snowy winter day, there would not have been too many guests.

At this time, there was only one guest in the entire tavern.

In fact, he never took off his hat to protect him from the wind and snow, and wore a wide gray cloth robe to cover his whole body, because he didn't want to reveal his identity at all, and it would be a very troublesome thing for him to expose his identity.

But even so, he was sniped inside the tavern with precision.

"Since the head of the merchant knows our origins, why do you still drink this cup of poisonous tea?" Shopkeeper said.

Shang Li smiled lowly: "Didn't I say that?" When others urge me to drink something, I can't resist the kind words of others. ”

"That's why I made that vow 20 years ago that I wouldn't stick to alcohol."

"But if you don't persuade me to drink and drink and drink instead of tea, then you won't even be able to find a reason to refuse in the end."

The shopkeeper laughed and said: "I didn't expect the dignified head of Huashan to be such an indecisive good man, it's really unexpected." ”

"So if you die here today, it's a good place."

Shang Li held his head, indeed, there was already a strong sense of sleepiness and paralysis spreading throughout his body.

Mengluo is one of the most domineering and terrifying anesthetics in Luojiao, which means that it is a dream net, a drug that can make people fall asleep and fall into a snare unconsciously.

Originally, the shopkeeper also planned to serve Shang Li well, and then take Shang Li away unknowingly.

It's just that I never thought that this little old man would actually drink the tea with the medicine first, and then break their medicine and roots.

To be honest, I have been in the industry for decades and have never seen such strange requests and people.

"Of course I don't want to die, little old man." Shang Li sat on the chair and smiled: "But at least how about letting me be an understanding ghost before I die?" ”

"How did you find out where I am? And why go to all the trouble to lay out here and kill me? ”

"To be honest, although Huashan is indeed very close to your Luo Sect, it has been well water for more than ten years, even if Elder Ning died in Middle-earth some time ago, I don't have much to do with the little old man."

"In that case, why do you want to harm me?"

The shopkeeper sneered: "In fact, the head of the business is like a mirror in his heart, so why bother to ask me?" ”

"But since the head of the business is so knowledgeable, it saves us a lot of effort, in this case, how about letting the head of the business be a ghost?"

"At the end of the day, don't kill our Dharma Protector with that bastard!" The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "That's why the sect leader decided to let your Central Plains Martial Arts repay ten times more." ”

How is the ten-fold repayment method?

Ding Kuyu himself would not have come to Middle-earth to risk his life no matter what.

Since he didn't come, he could only mobilize all the backhands and shadows that Luo Sect had laid down in Middle-earth.

Liu Pingye certainly belongs to one of them, but a man like Ding Kuyu will undoubtedly not put his eggs in one basket.

"I see." Shang Li sighed: "And then is it the old man, my descent from the mountain?" ”

If Shang Li is still in Huashan, it is like the abbot of Shaolin is in Shaolin and Ding Kuyu is in the Western Regions, it is an iron bucket that cannot be blown into the rain and cannot be drenched, even if it can penetrate one or two disciples, but what kind of climate can it become?

And once the head of the house goes down the mountain, it is equivalent to saying that the tiger falls in Pingyang, the dragon swims in the shallows, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, not to mention the painstaking head snake.

"But the old man's descent from the mountain was carried out in secret, how do you know the old man's movements?" Shang Li continued to ask.

He sat motionless in his chair, as if he had no strength to stand up.

"The head of the business is really smart, and he was confused for a while." The shopkeeper smiled indifferently: "My Luo sect has millions of disciples, just like when Ning Huaiyuan was able to blend into Huashan, he didn't dare to say it in a high position, but it was easy to spread the eyeliner, and as soon as the head of the sect came down the mountain, someone sent a letter." ”

"What's more, the fact that Fang Bei wants to challenge the head of the house has also spread all over the world, if Fang Don't go to Huashan, the usual business head will naturally not make a special trip down the mountain to accept the challenge."

"But the world knows that the head of Shang owes Fang Bei a big favor, and this time he was challenged by Fang Bei, and it is indispensable to repay this favor, and many people estimate that the head of the family will secretly go down the mountain, and the two will prove it, we just need to wait for the rabbit on the road."

"The sect leader said, since you Central Plains Martial Arts pit killed our Dharma Protector King, then you will have to pay ten times the price, otherwise you will bully me Luo Sect no one!"

"Now that Bai Qian, the dean of Bailu Academy, has been conferred the title, the second one is, of course, you, the head of Huashan."

"Next, no matter what six-door Guo Juxia is, or the culprit Fang Bei, they will all accept the flame of revenge of Luojiao's anger, knowing that you understand how much you have to pay for daring to provoke Luojiao."

Shang Li sighed: "In this way, the old man will understand everything." ”

Saying this, Shang Li looked at the note sent by the white pigeon on the table: "The old man didn't plan to shoot before, but the hive sent me a letter, and I happened to not bring rice or other food, so I took the liberty to sit here." ”

The shopkeeper laughed: "Master Shang, are you saying that the hive has harmed you?"

Shang Li shook his head quietly and looked at the fearless man in front of him: "Don't you want to see what is written on this piece of paper?" ”

……

……

"Shang Li's journey down the mountain is destined to be unsmooth." Xue Ling faced the red candle and said quietly to Shang Jiuge: "Shu Qing is dead, Luo Jiao is now like a mad dog that has gone crazy, and there is no doubt that it will bite people all over the ground. ”

"And if Shang Li goes down the mountain, he will definitely become the target of public criticism."

"It's okay." Shang Jiu Ge smiled: "He's a senior brother." ”

Wasn't the old lady the target of the public when I went down the mountain, and didn't I come over completely when I went down the mountain?

What's more, he's still my senior brother.

Shang Jiuge is really full of confidence.

"Luo Jiao is the best at calculating with heart and mind, if you really concentrate on dealing with Shang Li, then even if you are the head of Shang, I am afraid that you will be wise and have a thousand thoughts, and you will definitely make a mistake." Xue Ling said slowly: "Besides, there is still a difference between the weight of Jiu Ge and Shang Li. ”

When Shang Jiu Ge went down the mountain, there were indeed many people who were eyeing this girl who was known as the first in martial arts in the future, and they started one after another, but to put it bluntly, most people borrowed the white gloves of the beehive, and the hive happened to be protected by He Ping, so Shang Jiu Ge was in danger.

Moreover, the biggest crisis that Shang Jiu Ge encountered was the unexpected encounter with Hei Wu, and the Hei Wu at that stage was basically crushed by Shang Jiu Ge, and even Xue Ling ran away with Shang Jiu Ge for a long time.

Therefore, Shang Jiuge is full of self-confidence, and a large part of it is honey self-confidence.

"So what to do?" Shang Jiuge looked at Xue Ling, his eyes were clear and bright: "You can't let me pick up Senior Brother." ”

Although in fact, if it is a trouble that Shang Li can't deal with, adding Shang Jiuge is also useless.

"It's okay." Xue Ling looked at Shang Jiuge: "I have already sent carrier pigeons." ”

"If you find any trace of Shang Li, send him a letter as soon as possible."

"Huh?" Shang Jiu Ge didn't expect that the hive would have this usage.

"Can you find it in the first place?"

"Absolutely." Xue Ling smiled.

"It's a beehive."

"As long as there are people, there are bees."

"Otherwise, that person wouldn't be so obsessed with the hive."

……

……

The shopkeeper picked up the blank piece of paper as if he didn't believe it.

He didn't suspect that the blank paper was cheating, after all, Shang Li didn't have time to do anything with this blank paper, not to mention that Shang Li had just picked it up and read it.

There is some latest information written on it, most of the shopkeepers already know, similar to Guo Juxia going to Yingtianfu, Fang Bei appeared in the Egret Academy, Liu Ping stabbed his teacher Bai Qian at night, and Bai Qian died in the Egret Academy.

Of course, these are some earth-shattering events, and they are also within the scope of hive group messages.

But—the shopkeeper looked at the last line of the white paper.

It was a line of small writing written with a red pen.

The font is beautiful and clear.

"There are many plots along the way, please be careful."

The shopkeeper was suddenly startled.

In other words, when Shang Li finished reading this blank paper, he had already raised his vigilance to the extreme.

So why did he calmly drink this bowl of hot tea with ingredients?

Could it be that the reason is that he is not very good at rejecting people, and wants to warm up with a cup of hot tea when it is cold?

Tricksters, huh?

If he is not good at rejecting others, how did he become the head of Huashan?

Could it be that it was really the warmth of the elders' meeting, and he couldn't refuse, so he became the head of Huashan?

Although because of the age, there really seems to be no way to verify this.

He couldn't help but take a step back.

"Afraid of what?" Shang Li smiled, still sitting upright in his chair. "Could it be that you don't have confidence in your Monro?"

"You watched me drink it with your own eyes, and I won't show you a trick?"

Even if Shang Li said so, the shopkeeper was still not at ease.

Of course, Monluo is trustworthy, but the more gentle and trustworthy the person in front of him, the more people feel hairy in their hearts.

I'm not a character who can talk to each other.

"In short, I'm getting more and more worried, so let's ask the head of the house to die first." As he said this, the shopkeeper slapped his palm towards Shang Li.

In front of his palm, Shang Lilian walked back smoothly with the table, just avoiding the inevitable palm of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was taken aback and looked at Shang Li incredulously.

At this time, Shang Li should not even be able to move his toes, how can he still use internal force so flexibly?

He couldn't help but lock his eyes on the ground, only to see that there was a puddle of water stains on the ground where the chair was located.

"What is this?" The shopkeeper muttered in disbelief.

Seeing that the goofs were over, Shang Li could only have a showdown.

Don't pretend.

He stood up from the chair and stretched out two fingers towards the shopkeeper, only to see a bubbling stream of water slowly emerge between the two fingers.

It's faint, but it can't be described as sweaty.

"I'm so embarrassed." Shang Li looked at the shopkeeper: "Because I never like to drink, I learned such a side." ”

"This trick can be forced out, so the poison of Mengluo is also easy to capture, but no one has reminded you of this."

Shang Li said lightly: "Because the people who have seen this trick, except for my former drinking friends, are almost all dead." ”

The shopkeeper took a step back, then pulled his legs and fled.

Shang Li quietly drew his sword and waved it casually.

Go upstairs.

The sword light from the bottom up was like ascending the stairs, spiraling straight up, instantly splitting the escaped shopkeeper into two from the bottom to the top, and splitting the back half of the entire restaurant together.

Snowflakes fall from the rooftops.

And Shang Li also saw the scene of the back kitchen of this restaurant.

Yes, Shang Li asked before, could it be that this huge restaurant is the only one in this shop?

The answer, of course, is yes.

At least in this huge restaurant, in addition to Shang Li, only this shopkeeper is left alive.

In the back kitchen of the hotel, seven or eight still warm corpses were stacked.

Among these corpses were guests, cooks, shopkeepers, and bookkeepers.

In short, because Shang Li's journey is coming, they are all dead.

So this is the rivers and lakes, in the seemingly heroic and chivalrous tenderness, after the coat is peeled off, only the naked weak and the strong eat and the grass and the human life,

"I'm so sorry."

Shang Li looked at those corpses and bowed slightly: "On such a cold day, I'm afraid no one will collect the corpses for you for a long time." ”

Before Shang Li's words fell, several black shadows appeared from all corners of the restaurant that had been split.

They did not attack Shangli, but fled into the distance in unison.

In the face of this uninjured seventh in the world, they all know that they have no chance of winning.

Only by escaping can there be a glimmer of life.

Shang Li shook his head: "I still have a sword in my hand." ”

As he spoke, he pointed out his swords at the fleeing crowd.

Ranny.

Speckled sword aura pierced the chests of those who fled, and they fell in the snow, the red blood flowing from their wounds staining the snow.

It's like a speckled plum blossom blooming in the snow.

Shang Li finally came step by step, picked up the corpses that fell to the ground one by one, put them back in the restaurant, poured the wine and grease, and then a raging fire ignited in the snowstorm.

Whether it's good or bad, Shang Li goes down the mountain, and it always represents all kinds of troubles.

He couldn't choose not to go down the mountain because of these troubles.

Because of whether it goes down or not, the mountain is always here.

Outside the blazing restaurant, black smoke rose into the sky.

Shang Li was still dressed in a cloak and wearing a hat, and continued to walk in the snow, slowly moving forward.

"Next time, I won't stay in the store."
