The sun sets, and the sky is full of red glow.

Before nightfall, the city is dyed in a different color, and it looks particularly beautiful.

It's just a prosperous beauty, but few people have the heart to appreciate it.

Also, it was nightfall, and the street stalls began to pack up their things and get home before dark.

As for those shops, most of them are also busy, among which the teahouse hotel restaurant is the most lively, with people in twos and threes, going in and out, and the shouts of Xiao Er can often be heard in the shop.

But more people should be used to this situation.

Lin Shi and others are no exception.

At this point in time, they did not continue to wander around the city, but returned to the meeting place that had been agreed in advance.

"Did you have fun today?"

As soon as he stepped into the tavern, Cheng Qingqing's complaint came from inside.

Hearing this, the three of them all turned their heads to look, and what caught their eyes was Cheng Qingqing, who was blushing with a small face.

After a little look, Lin Shi found that there were more than a dozen jars in the corner where Cheng Qingqing was.

As soon as everyone looked at it, they knew that Cheng Qingqing must have drunk too much.

"Elder Cheng, why did you drink so much wine?"

"Many?" Cheng Qingqing tilted his head, then waved his hand and smiled: "I don't drink much, I can continue to drink." ”

"Please, you're already drunk."

Lin Shi couldn't help but hold his face with his hand.

If he could, he would have thought he didn't know the drunkard.

He must not be the only one who has this kind of thought, just look at Jing Yuyang and Ouyang Qianying's speechless clothes.

It's just that because of their seniority, it's hard for the two of them to say anything.

Lin Shi didn't shy away from it, and took a few steps forward and said, "I said Elder Cheng, should you have been drinking here since you separated from us?" ”

"How is that possible?"

Cheng Qingqing staggered to his feet, patted Lin Shi's shoulder, and when he raised his hand, he almost fell to the ground because he lost his support.

Lin Shi reacted quickly enough, and reached out to help her as soon as possible.

"Little Er, check out."

"Okay."

As soon as Lin Shi and the three of them walked to Cheng Qingqing's side, the shopkeeper kept staring at this side, looking like he was afraid that they would run away.

Now as soon as he heard someone calling here, he hurriedly urged Xiao Er to come this way.

"How many silver taels?"

"Six altars of daughter red, twelve altars of fairy brewing, eight altars of Tanerlang, nine altars of Arhat drunken ......"

In order to avoid being said to have a big store bully customers, Xiao Er told them in detail about this consumption in front of the four people.

The charges for each type of liquor are also clear.

Finally, he told the four people about the general ledger that had been calculated in advance.

Lin Shi was okay, Ouyang Qianying and Jing Yuyang were completely stunned when they heard half of it.

There is no secret about Cheng Qingqing's joy of wine, but about her alcoholism, I am afraid that few people know about it.

is like Ouyang Qianying and Jing Yuyang, they only know one but don't know the other.

Lin Shi is different, he has been in the business for hundreds of years, and he has long heard about Cheng Qingqing.

Because of this, when I asked Cheng Qingqing to take care of Yuan Ling in the Gulin Mountain Range, the gift would be Qiong Jelly Jade Wine.

If it was something else, I am afraid that Cheng Qingqing would not have agreed so simply at that time.

After that, please ask Cheng Qingqing for some trivial matters, it will be difficult to cooperate nine times out of ten.

"Elder Cheng, is this just what you said?"

"For me, that's just a little bit, and I won't get drunk with another hundred jars of wine."

Seeing that Cheng Qingqing didn't intend to restrain herself, Lin Shi pulled her to the corner and whispered in her ear: "Elder Cheng, if I report this matter to the sect master, do you guess it will be because you were drunk and miserated, and I will give you a ban on alcohol or something?" ”

A moment ago, Cheng Qingqing was still very arrogant.

But when she listened to Lin Shi's words, the next moment she was full of excitement, and she woke up most of the time.

"Ahem......" Cheng Qingqing cleared his throat: "I just drank some wine, I can't make a mistake, now that I've drunk enough, it's time to leave." ”

"Waste is not good, you better drink the rest first, and then go back to sleep."

Lin Shi proposed.

Cheng Qingqing has no reason to refuse.

As for Ouyang Qianying and Jing Yuyang, Cheng Qingqing was not worried at all, as long as she informed her, he believed that the two would definitely keep their mouths shut.

The only thing that worries her is Lin Shi, a person who has a bad stomach and acts recklessly.

As long as Lin Shi doesn't make it bad, there is nothing to worry about in this matter.

After that, Lin Shi even took the initiative to hand the wine to Cheng Qingqing.

There wasn't a lot of wine left, and it didn't take long for Cheng Qingqing to finish it.

Due to Cheng Qingqing's drunkenness, several people simply found an inn nearby and stayed temporarily.

It's a coincidence.

Soon after, someone came to them, saying that they had received news that might be related to Yuan Ling, and asked them to come and pay for it.

The three of them discussed it for a while, and finally decided not to wake up Cheng Qingqing first, Ouyang Qianying stayed to take care of her drunk, and Lin Shi and Jing Yuyang went to find out the news.

The plan was simple, but the process was not very smooth.

According to the original plan, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the people behind them, the two dressed up a little, and then slipped away to the inn unconsciously.

As soon as they left the inn, the two appeared to blend in with the crowd, and then took a detour into a small alley.

Unlike the streets, the alleys have no candle-lit towers, and the light is dim, and there are hardly any people.

For the two who want to hide their eyes, it is naturally the best.

That's what the trio thought when they planned it.

However, the plan could not keep up with the change, and soon the two of them walking in the alley were stopped by a group of people.

There were as many people as many as a group of people blocking the road, all dressed in black, covering their faces with black cloths, and they couldn't see their appearance clearly, only knowing that a few of them were not shallow in cultivation.

The lowest is also the cultivation of the late stage of the Yudan, and the highest has reached the early stage of the Yuan Infant.

Facing such a group of "powerful monks", Lin Shi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

Jing Yuyang, who was on guard back to back with him, was also very nervous.

Perhaps because of the frustration of the Gulin Mountain Range, although the enemy had the advantage, he did not immediately attack the two.

"I actually sent two Yuanying monks, and I really look up to the two of us."

"Senior Brother Lin, are you sure to deal with them?"

Lin Shi disagreed with Jing Yuyang's statement, "Shouldn't you ask me if you are sure that you can escape?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Jing Yuyang was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Lin Shi to fight, he was already thinking about running away.

Listening to his tone, he didn't seem to have much confidence.

"What's your reaction?" Lin Shi frowned, and his face was not very happy: "I'm just a monk in the late stage of the Jiedan, it's still possible for me to drag a few Jiedan monks, and if you want me to deal with the Yuanying monk, don't you think it's too difficult for a strong person?" ”

"I didn't mean to embarrass Senior Brother, it's just that I heard Senior Sister Ouyang say that you are very powerful."

"Why do you think I'm hiding in Xiu'er Peak and not coming out?" Lin Shi laughed at himself: "It's not that the cultivation is not good, so I don't dare to come out and take risks, the last time the Gulin Mountain Range was also a sneak attack, so I was caught off guard, and now I am in a head-to-head confrontation, I am afraid that it is very suspenseful to deal with a few street monks." ”

Jing Yuyang didn't know where to complain for a while.

"By the way, remember to keep this matter secret, especially where Senior Sister Ouyang is, otherwise I won't be able to save face."

The stalemate did not last long, and soon the two were attacked from the other side.

The battle is on the verge of breaking out.

Well, there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides, and there is almost no suspense in this battle.

At the beginning, the two Yuanying Monks were watching from the sidelines, and when only a few Monk Jiedan came out to test his depth, he was still able to deal with one or two.

But after the two Yuanying monks left the field, Lin Shi had no power to parry, so he could only blindly defend, and was finally cut off by one of the Yuanying monks and died in Huangquan.
