"Boss, you still have a guest room here. A young man dressed as a beggar walked up to the counter, and the shopkeeper's eyes showed undisguised disgust, only to see the muddy hand casually throw a bag of silver in front of the shopkeeper. Hearing the sound of money bags tapping on the guest table, the boss naturally changed his previous attitude and greeted him with a smile: "Of course there is, this guest officer, you want to stay for a few days? We still have a few good guest rooms here." "Let's stay for a month, and I'll send me some fine food and drink." After saying that, the sword-eyed boy walked upstairs. "Xiao Er, take this distinguished guest to the Tianzi Guest Room."" Okay," Xiao Er threw the towel in his hand over his shoulder and walked over. "Guest, please go here. ”

"Guest, please. This is your room. Xiao Er pushed open the door. "If you need anything, you can call me directly. ”

When Xiao Er was about to close the door, the young man said, "You go and buy me a few clothes, and by the way, bring me a few buckets of hot water and a map of Yandu." ”

"Okay, little one, I'm going to get you the map. ”

Soon after, there was a knock on the door outside the guest room, "Guest, I have your map and bath water ready"

"Come in, I'm in trouble" I saw a few big men carrying wooden barrels, the mist in the barrels was constantly steaming upward, and it was full of hot water, but it also seemed to be flat under the arm strength of the two big men.

Xiao Er took out a sheepskin map from his arms and put it on the table, and the maid behind him also put down the shirt in his hand, Xiao Er clasped his hands and said, "Guest officer, your hot water and map are ready, if there is nothing else, the little one will retreat." ”

After they had put everything in place, Qi Xuan suddenly stripped off his rag-like clothes and entered the barrel.

"Whew" This hot bath is really comfortable, take a fragrant soup bath with a comfortable body, fade the linen and straw clothes of the beggars and homeless, change into the brocade clothes and jade clothes that the shopkeeper just bought, and shave off the slag, Qi Xuan is actually a quite handsome and eye-catching son.

Earlier, under the old man's teaching, he spent all day in the mountains with wild beasts, and when he had exhausted his killing spirit, he finally got the old man's promise to go down the mountain and enter the world.

"You bad old man, you're really bad."

had no choice but to make a simple raft by himself, and a strong undersea earthquake almost made Qixuan not able to use what he had learned to set foot on the Yellow Spring. Fortunately, the earthquake lasted for a short time, and many small islands appeared after the earthquake, allowing Qixuan to be able to

After a short rest everywhere, it was extremely difficult to return to the imperial city, and even the silver on his body was obtained from the robbers he met on the road.

After taking a hot shower along the way, Jean Qixuan now just wants to plunge into the bed and sleep.

After a while, Qixuan's snoring came from the room.

I still remember that ten years ago, when Qi Xuan was playing with Xu Feng, the heir of the king with a different surname, in the palace, King Yan came with an old man with white hair and white beard, and said to Qi Xuan abruptly, from now on, I will follow this old man to study, and I don't know what the old man proved to King Yan, so he asked a white-haired old man who came from outside to take away King Yan's favorite eleventh prince.

The white-haired and white-bearded man was still holding the dust in his hand, but he also had the appearance of a fairy wind bone, and Qi Xuan, who was only seven years old at the time, did not have any fear behind him.

"Master, what skills do you want to give your disciple?" Qi Xuan stared at the old man with an expectant look widening his eyes.

The old man looked at Qi Xuan kindly, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you to see and see thousands of red dusts first!"

Qi Xuan's eyes were full of expectation, did he want to take himself to get acquainted with all kinds of chivalrous people on the rivers and lakes? Through the description of the rivers and lakes in the Jianghu Chronicles, Qi Xuan had all kinds of longings for the chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes, and he was eager to go up and get acquainted, but it was a pity that he was strictly controlled by King Yan in the palace and was not allowed to approach this kind of people in the rivers and lakes. Now that I have this opportunity, I am naturally very excited.

But I didn't expect it to backfire, only seven years old Qi Xuan learned to play card skills and alcoholism, at a young age he carried a wine gourd all day long in the fireworks and wine alley, the demeanor of the chivalrous on the rivers and lakes has never seen a few points, but the state of life is to understand a seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight.

Three years later, Qi Xuan's treatment of the old man has long lost the respect he had when he first met, because this is simply a disrespectful person for the old! But the gold and silver used were all Qi Xuan's! It was the money that King Yan gave Qi Xuan to travel, but now it has been spent by the old man.

Now the two of them are squatting on the side of the road in the costume of beggars, and the dust in the old man's hand has already been lost as gambling money.

"Old guy, this is what you call cultivation?!" Qi Xuan really couldn't stand it anymore, he would have enjoyed endless wine and jade food when he stayed in the palace, and naturally there were beautiful waiters and other people to serve him when he changed clothes, but now he has become a beggar on the street.

"Did you hear that, black boxing has started to fight over there recently. ”

"yes, it looks like there's another buzz to see. ”

The speaker had no intention of listening, and the old man quickly got up and asked where the place they were talking about was.

The passers-by were frightened by the sudden appearance of the old man dressed as a beggar, and the unpleasant stench emanating from his body made them cover their noses, and one hand kept incitement in front of them, and the other hand pinched their noses and replied, "At the end of this road, you will naturally know if you follow the flow of people." "The smell was so bad that they didn't want to say anything.

"Come, I'll take you to make a good profit!" The old man's eyes lit up, he grabbed a few copper coins in the bowl with his right hand, grabbed Qi Xuan with his left hand and rushed towards the flow of people.

"Wow, wow, old man, what do you want to do? Why are you going to gamble again?" Qi Xuan was so blown by the oncoming wind that he couldn't open his eyes.

Every time as long as there is a gain, the old man will definitely lose a lot, Qi Xuan has eaten the last meal and has not eaten the next meal, but he has been used to it in the past three years.

The old man told him to wait outside and go alone.

Seeing that one of the passages was crowded with people and the other passage was very crowded, the old man inquired about the intersection of registration and walked to the other intersection.

"Old fellow, are you going wrong, the entrance is on the other side, and this is the place to sign up. The man with a meaty face held a stack of papers in his hand, and when he saw that the person who came looked like an old man joining in the fun, he said unceremoniously.

The old man smiled, "What I'm coming to is the place to sign up, how many taels of silver do you need to sign up?"

"Ten taels, let's talk about it first, life and death are at your own risk!" the person in charge continued, adding, "If there is no problem, write your name and fingerprint on it." ”

The old man took the note and read it, and then wrote the word 'eleven' on it, "I'll go and bring someone, wait a minute." ”

"Old man," the big man reminded, "the people inside don't have the habit of respecting the old and loving the young, you can think about it." ”

The old man turned around and said thank you, and went straight outside.

The old man came outside and said something to Qi Xuan, and then took out the note, Qi Xuan shouted, "Old man, do you want to sell me!!

Qi Xuan's shout really attracted a lot of people to come and watch, and the old man also felt that it was inappropriate, so he immediately said, "Silly boy, what do you want, how can I persecute you?" The kindness on his face reminded Qi Xuan of the scene when he was poisoned.

That year, he was inexplicably in severe pain in his body, and it was difficult to even lift his eyelids, and his breathing seemed to have stopped, it was the old man who found all kinds of herbs in a great wilderness, and he was able to get better by feeding him every day, and after recovery, Qi Xuan found that the jade pendant that the old man usually loved was gone, Qi Xuan asked, he just grinned and said that the bet was lost.

That must have been looking for herbs for himself and was lost somewhere in the Great Wilderness, his eyes gradually moistened, and Qi Xuan threw himself into the old man's arms and cried.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuan's eyes were unconsciously sour, and tears gradually dripped down, and he pressed his handprint on the note without hesitation. "Old man, you. . . You are not a human being. It's not reliable, but from you, the poison in my body has taken care of me in every way, I believe you. Qi Xuan said these words with sobs,

The old man was also very relieved when he looked at this scene, but when he remembered the scene of Qi Xuan's highly poisonous body at that time, the anger in his eyes unconsciously spread, obviously it was the time of spring flowers, and the pedestrians around him could feel the chill at this moment, mistakenly thinking that the winter had not left yet.
