In the spring city, Xie Baoshu wanted to cry without tears.

I knew that he wouldn't come in, this city is not only expensive to enter the city, but the consumption in it is even more expensive. The most ordinary inn costs five red fairy jades for one night, although there are still a lot of fairy jades in the wrench in his hand, but these are not earned by himself, and they are a bit strange to use.

Xie Baoshu has no choice, he has come in, he can't go out, right?

When he entered the city, the gatekeeper gave him a white piece of paper, which he had heard was valid for thirty days. During these thirty days, you don't need to pay the fairy jade again when you go out of the city to pan for gold or come back. If you don't want to go out, take it with you in this spring city, and no one will drive you away after thirty days. However, the consumption in the city is very high, and the mountains cannot always be empty, so people still occasionally go out to pan for gold.

It is dangerous to pan for gold alone, and everyone likes to form teams.

Xie Baoshu felt that teaming up was more dangerous.

Because after seeing the matter of the two Taoist couples, Jia Jian and Wu Xin, Xie Baoshu felt that it was very likely that his teammates would stab him in the back, so he did not decide to form a team in this desert north. On the first day, he went to eat at the bottom of the inn, which was the cheapest inn in the city.

Xie Baoshu didn't want to cause trouble, so he found a corner location and asked for two dishes and a pot of rice wine. Although he doesn't drink alcohol, this rice wine is sweet and very much to his appetite, and he can't stop drinking it after drinking it once.

The small inn, the rice wine is good, and the dishes are delicious, but the price is scary. After all, it's in Mobei, a plate of fresh vegetables, I don't know how much fairy jade it will cost. Xie Baoshu drank rice wine slowly, listening to the people in the inn telling the story of Mobei.

Since ancient times, where there are men, there are rivers and lakes.

Places like taverns and teahouses are not short of people with loud voices. They drank in a big bowl and talked about the recent events in Mobei, for example, someone found the entrance to the boundless city under Mobei, but there was a gatekeeper and they couldn't get in.

It was a bearded sword cultivator who said this, and he was a cultivator in the realm of controlling qi, and he was full of pride, as if he had discovered the entrance to the boundless city by himself.

The shopkeeper who sold wine on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and when the mustachioed sword cultivator finished speaking, he added: "There are three entrances to this boundless city, east, west and south, and each entrance is guarded by a gatekeeper. The one you're talking about is the entrance to the west, and it's been discovered a long time ago. It's just that the gatekeeper is very strong, and everyone can't get in. ”

The mustache sword cultivator was interjected, a little unhappy, looking at the shopkeeper, but he didn't dare to get angry, but asked: "How do you know that the shopkeeper has three entrances instead of four?"

The shopkeeper sneered and said, "The further north of Mobei is a no-man's land. At that time, the Boundless City directly sealed that direction, how could there be an entrance? The gatekeeper at the west entrance was said to be the weakest of the three gatekeepers. The strongest is in the east, but it is not discovered. Besides, you can't get in to the west, and isn't it even more to the east?"

The old shopkeeper has been here for many years, and seems to know all these secrets.

Xie Baoshu had a strong premonition that the bronze gate he saw under the dry well was the entrance to the east of the Boundless City. Because that ancient giant crocodile is too strong, he feels that he is also an absolute overlord among the gatekeepers.

The mustachioed sword cultivator asked again: "Why are there so many masters in Mobei, but they still can't take the gatekeeper of the West Gate?"

The shopkeeper smiled slightly, and said, "If you have the ability to kill the gatekeeper, are you willing to do it?" This is Mobei, not anywhere else. If you get hurt or something when you hit a gatekeeper, it's not a good thing to be targeted by monks in the same realm. I don't know if you've heard the saying, the gun shoots the first bird!"

The mustachioed sword cultivator was silent for a moment, and there was some silence in the inn.

The shopkeeper was interested, and continued: "But recently, many masters have indeed come to the Boundless City, and I heard that the dragon slayer has also returned. A few days ago, he was still in the west of Quanyan City, and he beheaded an earth immortal! This senior is really powerful, with a single knife, he actually beat so many monks in Mobei that he didn't dare to make a sound!"

The monks who were doing it, when they heard the name of the dragon slayer, they all had a tacit understanding to pick up the wine bowl and take a sip.

This person is in Mobei, but it is really a legend, with countless supporters and enemies. When everyone mentions him, they love and fear him. Love, naturally, is because I admire him, in Kyushu before, there were few monks from Mobei, and his name was loud. Mobei does not belong to Kyushu, so the monks in Kyushu have some people who look down on Mobei. It is said that this is a wild land, and the monks are also uneducated barbarians.

It's hard for everyone to refute, and they don't dare to refute it.

Until the dragon slayer appeared, he took a knife, stepped all over the land of Kyushu, cut countless dragons, and came back safe and sound. Not only that, but I heard that the dragon slayer also had a fight with Liu Taibao, who guarded the Two Realms Mountain, and drank with him, what an honor it is.

The monks of Mobei also look down on the monks of Kyushu, but in their hearts, they admire a monk of Kyushu. is the gatekeeper of Datang, Liu Guanshan. This person has a very high status in the hearts of the Mobei monks, because the local monks of Mobei have traveled to Kyushu and went to the north of Bodhi Prefecture, where they met Liu Taibao.

Some people even volunteered to do miscellaneous labor on the Two Realms Mountain for several years.

There are also quite a few monks who have come back from breaking through the border over there.

Once in Mobei, there was a sword immortal named Yun Qi, who got an immortal sword in the boundless city, entered the purple mansion realm in one fell swoop, and became an earth immortal. After that, he left Mobei and went to Kyushu, where, at the beginning, he was like Song Heng, fighting the sword immortals in several states, and finally went to the Two Realms Mountain.

I want to find that Liu Kanshan and fight.

After going, in less than half a month, Yun Qi Sword Immortal returned to Mobei with his sword.

The two don't know if they have fought, anyway, since then, Yun Qi Sword Immortal has been in retreat in Mobei and has never come out of the mountain. Twenty years later, he passed on the fairy sword "Fusheng" he had obtained to his disciples, and he didn't know if he was still in retreat or dead.

After this incident, the monks of Mobei respected Liu Guanshan even more.

In the inn, the bearded sword cultivator, seeing the depressed appearance of everyone, continued: "In our inn, there is also a knife man with a knife, I don't know this little brother, are you like the dragon slaying senior, you can also slay two dragons to play?"

Xie Baoshu glanced at him and said with a smile: "I'm just pretending to be a knife, how can I compare with that old man." ”

Hearing the old man's words, everyone who was drinking in the inn put down their wine glasses and glared at Xie Baoshu angrily.

Only the old shopkeeper glanced at Xie Baoshu, didn't say anything, and then wiped the wine glass on the table. Mustachioed Jianxiu glared at him, slapped his saber on the table, and roared, "How did you talk?"

Xie Baoshu saw everyone's unkind faces, and said with a smile: "I was drinking well, but you have to look for me, and now you ask me how to speak." How to drop, I just want to fight, come, move me to try, see what is in this inn, can you afford it. ”

When the old shopkeeper heard this, he smiled and thought that this young man was very interesting.

The mustachioed sword cultivator glanced at everyone, he really didn't dare to do it here, the immortal jade on his body, buying pills and polishing the sword in his hand, were a little insufficient, where was the money to pay for these things? He glanced at Xie Baoshu hatefully, and sat down obediently.

When Xie Baoshu saw him sit down, he didn't say any more, and then drank his rice wine leisurely.

Just then, when the old shopkeeper saw his appearance, he shouted and beckoned him to come and sit. Xie Baoshu was also not polite, he brought over two dishes and a pot of rice wine, and sat next to the old shopkeeper. Seeing this, the old shopkeeper added another pot of rice wine to him, and said with a smile: "This pot is for you." ”

Xie Baoshu hurriedly thanked him.

The guests on the side were dumbfounded, usually this old man was so stingy that he was so angry that he muttered every day that he was lucky for a day, and only earned money for two pots of wine. Don't dare to discount it at will, and when you can move, you have to save some fairy jade as a dowry for your daughter.

The old shopkeeper sat on the edge of the counter, poured wine for Xie Baoshu, and asked, "What is the son doing in Mobei?"

Xie Baoshu smiled: "Practice knives." ”

The old shopkeeper understood what he meant, and said, "Childe seems to be from Kyushu, I don't know which state he is from? It just so happens that the dragon slayer has come back these days, and you are walking around this Spring City, maybe he will accept you as a disciple as soon as he sees it?"

The old shopkeeper has been in Mobei for many years, and in recent years, he has seen a lot of swordsmen, and he came to Mobei to find the traces of the dragon slayer. Originally, the person who learned the sword was less than one millionth of the person who learned the sword. But since Song Heng appeared, this situation has changed, and now in Mobei, there are more and more people with knives. Although it is still not as good as sword cultivation, it has changed, and the old shopkeeper sees it in his eyesight and remembers it in his heart.

Xie Baoshu asked: "Don't you think that the shopkeeper thinks that it is better to learn a sword than to learn a sword?"

The old shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Although the world thinks that it is better to learn a sword than to learn a sword. But I think that learning everything is the same, if you don't work hard, you won't learn anything. What's the use of bragging here every day? Do you think that a long mustache with a sword is a sword fairy? ”

Hearing this, the mustachioed sword cultivator couldn't hold back anymore and went upstairs.

He didn't dare to be angry with this old shopkeeper, after staying in this Spring City for so many years, he knew very well that this old shopkeeper looked at his kind eyebrows and was very picky. In fact, the shopkeeper was a Jindan realm immortal qi practitioner. His cultivation is not enough, so he can only go upstairs.

The old shopkeeper glanced at the wooden knife on Xie Baoshu's waist and said with a smile: "Since this dragon slayer senior has walked so far on the knife path, he has walked so smoothly. It shows that the road of the knife can glimpse the avenue. Those who think that the sword is not as good as the sword and go to practice the sword are estimated to have little success in this life. ”

Xie Baoshu stretched out his thumb and said with a smile: "I love to hear the shopkeeper's words, I am from Tianshui Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty, and I came to Mobei this time to practice knives." ”

The old shopkeeper said: "I'm from Bodhi Prefecture, I don't know if the little brother has been there? ”

Xie Baoshu shook his head and said, "I have been to Bodhi Prefecture, and I am still in the Dragon Temple, and I have learned boxing from the high monks there. Not only that, but even the Liangjie Mountains further north of Bodhi Prefecture, I have been there and spent some time on them. ”

The old shopkeeper sighed: "I didn't expect that the son is not very old, but his experience is so broad, a good man who has been to the Two Realms Mountain, I will give you a free order for today's meal." ”

Xie Baoshu smiled shyly and said, "How embarrassing is this." ”

At this time, other guests who were drinking in the inn gathered around, and when they heard that Xie Baoshu had been to the Two Realms Mountain, they all came over one after another, wanting to settle the bill for Xie Baoshu and asking him to tell more about what they had seen and heard on the other side of the Two Realms Mountain. Xie Baoshu hesitated a little and glanced at the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper smiled: "Just tell them about it, I don't charge money for this meal." ”

Xie Baoshu looked at the expectant eyes of those monks, coughed, sorted out his thoughts, and prepared to speak. At this time, the mustachioed sword cultivator upstairs couldn't hold back his heart, and also ran down and sat behind Xie Baoshu. In fact, he didn't go far, and when he heard the news of the Two Realms Mountain, he also ran down.

Xie Baoshu didn't care about this, but said slowly: In my Datang border, it is the Bodhi Prefecture that is the most important Buddhist. Further west of Bodhi Prefecture is the Liangjie Mountain. The Two Realms Mountain is on the side of Bodhi Prefecture, and there is no road to build, so you can only walk on dirt roads when you go up, but it is not very tiring. The monks who went up to the Two Realms Mountain for the first time may not be used to it. Because the demonic aura there is thick, if you are not careful, you will inhale it into your body, which will damage your cultivation. On the side of the demon clan, there is a jade road, which is the business road to the Peacock Kingdom in the West Heaven. ”

In this way, Xie Baoshu waited until the evening before he finished the general experience of the Two Realms Mountain.

Everyone listened fascinated, and the mustachioed sword cultivator, when he heard the emotion, asked, "Has the son spoken to Liu Taibao?"

Xie Baoshu nodded.

Someone on the side asked: "Liu Taibao is a very powerful person, legend has it that he has to drink with the flesh and blood of the big demon every day." ”

The mustachioed sword cultivator glared at the man and said, "Ask him what he can know, he is just a monk who has not yet crossed the moat." What kind of character is Liu Taibao, can you see him? I guess it's this son, I saw Liu Taibao from a distance, and then Liu Taibao said hello to you, right?"

The old shopkeeper looked at Xie Baoshu and said, "He is unpleasant when he speaks, you don't have to pay attention to him, he has no malicious intentions." ”

Xie Baoshu naturally didn't have the same knowledge as him, and talked to everyone about other things, and everyone slowly dispersed after a long time. Xie Baoshu drank the pot of rice wine, and then chatted with the old shopkeeper. The old shopkeeper was also not sleepy, and after knowing that Xie Baoshu had been to Bodhi Prefecture, he was even more excited and told his story.

The old shopkeeper's name is Fu Xueyuan, this name sounds very similar to a person from Bingxue Prefecture, but in fact, he is a monk from Bodhi Prefecture. When he was young, he was also a person who went out to wander, and later gave birth to a girl, and his Taoist companion unfortunately died, and the old shopkeeper entrusted his daughter to a academy in Bodhi Prefecture. Of course, at this time, the girl is older and can take care of herself. He came to this Mobei to make money to support his family, his daughter's qualifications are okay, I heard that he is studying Confucianism, and now he is already a qi practitioner in the Gathering God Realm.

The job in Mobei Middle School is boring, but it is guaranteed and suitable for the elderly.

And every year, I have to make a lot of money, which can be sent back so that my daughter can buy some things, which can be regarded as compensation. The girl is also obedient, and often writes to the old shopkeeper to tell her about the shortcomings of the parents and the college. These letters, the old shopkeeper has guarded them well.

After hearing this, Xie Baoshu was very emotional, and he suddenly felt that life was so short. I don't know if one day he will also marry a wife and have children, and his gray hair will be gray-haired? Will he also have his own children and grandchildren, and will he also have to earn money to support his family.

The two of them were both melancholy, looking at each other and smiling.

At this moment, a man walked in from outside the inn.

The old shopkeeper Fu Xueyuan raised his hand and said, "We're closed." ”

This raise of hand is the power of Jin Dan's qi practitioner, and he wants that person to retreat. In this Spring City, strength is very important. If you encounter someone who is making trouble, just play and leave. When this person saw the closing signboard and walked in, didn't he just want to find fault?

The man walked straight to Xie Baoshu's side, the old shopkeeper's golden pill qi didn't seem to have any effect on him, this person slapped Xie Baoshu on the back of the head, and scolded: "I'll let you practice knives, you're good, isn't it cool to brag and drink here?"

Although he was drinking rice wine, Xie Baoshu couldn't see the person clearly, he wanted to push the person away, but found that he couldn't push it at all.

The old shopkeeper Fu Xueyuan was shocked, his cultivation in the Jindan realm was also the number one person in this city. Who the hell is this person? In the face of his own casual blow, he did not hide or resist at all. However, looking at his appearance, he seems to know Xie Baoshu, and there is definitely no malicious intent.

Thinking of this, the old shopkeeper stopped moving and carefully looked at the people who came.

This person was not tall, wearing a cloak, with a waist like Xie Baoshu, and carrying a knife. The whole person looks like an ordinary old man, quite energetic. However, after the temptation just now, Fu Xueyuan knew that this person was definitely not an ordinary old man.

Also, how could an ordinary old man appear in Mobei?

Suddenly, the old shopkeeper seemed to think of something, he glanced at the old man in the cloak, stood up, and asked, "You, you are!"

The old man with the knife interrupted his inquiry, motioned for the old shopkeeper to remain silent, and then revealed the handle of the knife at his waist.

Fu Xueyuan saw the inscription on the hilt, and for a while, he was so excited that he couldn't speak. He should have thought that in the entire Mobei, who else is carrying a knife and wearing a cloak? This is the only one, there is no other branch, this old man is the legendary dragon slayer!

At this time, Xie Baoshu finally eased up, he glanced at Song Heng and asked, "Old man, why are you here?"

Hearing this, the old shopkeeper Fu Xueyuan thought of what Xie Baoshu had said just now, he actually really called the dragon slayer an old man!

Song Heng didn't think about it so much, he poured himself a pot of wine from the counter, took a small sip, and looked peaceful.
