The late autumn weather is cold, and the red leaves on the mountains are covered with a very thin layer of ice. The sound of insects in the forest disappeared, and only the lonely bird was left to cry. The clear stream under the mountain is cold and painful, but the fish are still swimming in the water, not knowing the cold.

After two days of walking in the unfamiliar mountains, Jingye walked out of the mountains and forests and embarked on a gentle dirt road. Although there is still a sparse forest in the distance, at least it is not as obstructed as in the mountains, and you don't know the true face of the green mountains.

Walking slowly, Pure Karma's gaze was fixed ahead, but everything around him was in his senses. At this time, he needed a pedestrian who could ask for directions, and he couldn't tell where it was just by the surrounding mountains.

After walking for about half an hour, when the sun was squeezing out of the clouds, Jingye finally met an elderly man in front of the fork in the dirt road.

Walking quickly to the old man's side, Jingye asked him gently: "This old man, do you know where this place is? The boy strayed into the mountains and forests and lost his direction, and asked the old man to tell him one or two." ”

Subconsciously grasping the old cloth burden on his back, the old man took a step back, looked at the gentle and delicate pure industry vigilantly, and was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "This place is called Youran Mountain, young man, you better go back the same way earlier, it's not safe here." ”

The old man's face is wrinkled, the joints on his palms are large, and there are a lot of calluses, which seems to be an ordinary family who has been farming all year round.

"Leisurely Mountain. ”

Hearing this name, Jingye's heart also figured out his position, but he looked at the old man in front of him who was wary of him, and still asked one more question, and said: "Thank you uncle, it's just that the kid has been walking for a long time and can't turn back." I also asked the old man to point out a road to the village or city for the boy, and the two taels of silver were used as a thanks. ”

As he spoke, Jingye took out two taels of silver and stuffed them into the old man's hand, with a smile on his face.

Glancing at the silver in his hand, the old man's frowning short eyebrows were also soothed, and after thinking about it, he turned around and pointed to the left side of the fork, and said slowly: "Young man, you go this way, there is an inn not far in front, and you should inquire about the surrounding cities and villages when you go there." The old man lives in the mountains, and he has to go home as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you, uncle, be careful all the way. ”

Hearing this, Jingye nodded slightly to the old man, thanked him, and then said no more and walked to the left.

The old man looked at the back of Jingye, sighed softly, touched the dazzling silver in his hand, and walked to the right.

Knowing the name of this place, Pure Industry also knew his location. During the two days of walking in the mountains and forests, he memorized the nameless book left by his master for himself. This leisurely mountain is far away from the Tang Kingdom, to its west, near the border of the Eastern Regions. There are no other kingdoms around it, only a few cities and mountain villages, but there is no record of those towns in the book, and you have to ask for yourself.

However, there is one thing that you have to be vigilant about, that is, the Nine Dragons Thunder Mansion is very close to Youran Mountain, which means that your whereabouts cannot be exposed, and once exposed, those people will definitely chase after you.

Walking on the narrow road, Jingye was not dazed and anxious, although he didn't know if what the old man said was true, whether the inn existed, but for the mountains and forests, he always had a familiar feeling.

After walking for a while, it was close to noon, and Jingye finally saw a three-story inn located next to the river.

Coming to the door of the inn, Jingye looked up at the name on it - Leisurely Inn. Thinking that the name was interesting, Jingye smiled slightly and entered the inn.

"Hey, hello guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

As soon as he entered the inn, after Jingye's eyes swept around, the shopkeeper who had just finished serving a table of dishes hurriedly ran to him, smiled on his face, and asked enthusiastically.

"A pot of wine, a pound of meat. "I didn't think about whether I wanted to live in the hotel, and Jingye asked for some food and drink first, but this pot of wine and a pound of meat really didn't match his image.

However, the shopkeeper didn't say much after being slightly shocked, since the guests came, he still understood the reason for causing trouble.

"Well, the guest officer, please. ”

In response, the shopkeeper welcomed Jingye to the seat inside, and then left and went to the back kitchen to report.

Jingye took a sip of hot tea first, and then looked inside the inn. The leisurely inn is the same as other inns, the first floor is set up to welcome guests, and near the door is the account counter. However, there were quite a few people in this inn, and there were only two of the six or seven tables left, and one was sat by himself.

Looking at the young brother who was settling accounts, Jingye noticed that among these people around him, there were four rugged men at a table who were quietly staring at him, and those people all exuded some faint bloody aura, and they also had spiritual power, just some condensation realms.

Aside from the table, a few of the other guests were ordinary people, and a few of them were young people, but they were bigger than him.

"Guest officer, this is a pot of wine and a pound of meat you want, please use it slowly, if you have other needs, you can just say hello. It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to come to Jingye with a plate, take a pot of wine from it, serve a plate of cut sauce meat, and then smile warmly at Jingye.

"Wait a minute. ”

Glancing at the full amount of sauce meat, Jingye raised the corners of his mouth, took out a piece of broken silver from the thunder ring and put it on the table, and called the shopkeeper who was about to leave.

The shopkeeper looked at the broken silver on the table, and then glanced at this guest officer who was so handsome and handsome, and he had been a junior for so many years, he naturally knew what this silver was for.

Rubbing his hands, the shopkeeper looked back at the person who was not looking at him, and while pouring wine for Jingye, he asked with a quiet smile: "What does the guest officer want to ask?"

"What towns are there around here?" Raising his wine glass and drinking, Jingye asked directly. For him, if he wanted to get news from the mouths of the people, especially from the inn, it was the easiest and most effective way to give this money.

"Yes, just west of our inn, fifty miles from here, there is a city of sorrow. Hearing the question of Jingye, the shopkeeper did not pause and replied directly.

"What is so special about this city, or some of the customs here?"

Although the mountains are very suitable for him, now he needs to find a place with a lot of people to stay for a few days, buy some things he needs, and inquire about the Tianzhu Palace, and there may be some news from the Tianzhu Palace.

"The city is just a small city, and there is nothing special about it. The guest officers who came to us either came out of the city of worries or went to the city of worries, and there were very few others. But you have to pay attention to one thing, if you want to go to the city of worry, you must be careful of the bandits there!"

"What is that?" said Jingye in confusion, putting down his glass. Listening carefully to what the shopkeeper said, it was the first time he had heard the word city bandit.

The shopkeeper poured another glass of wine for Jingye, looked around, made sure that no one was eavesdropping, moved closer to Jingye, and whispered

Said: "It is the bandits who are rampant in the city of worry, there are no officials in the city, only soldiers under the command of the city lord, those bandits have contact with the city lord, although they do not often bully the people in the city, but if they are targeted, the end is more uncomfortable than death." ”

"Oh, little two, have you seen it with your own eyes?"

As soon as the shopkeeper's voice fell, before Jingye could speak, a rough voice came from the guest table next to him, with a fierce voice.

Hearing the sound, the shopkeeper's body shook suddenly, his hair stood up, and he didn't dare to turn around.

Jingye turned his head to look at the table that had been peeking at him just now. One of them put down the chopsticks in his hand and turned to look at himself.

Putting the broken silver on the waist of the shopkeeper, Jingye chuckled and said: "You go and help me heat this pot of wine, it is cold in late autumn, the wine is not hot, and the taste in the throat is not strong enough." ”

"But..."

"It's okay, don't worry, let's go. Seeing that the shopkeeper was frightened, his legs and feet were shaking, Jingye waved his hand and said to him.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper really regretted it in his heart, but the incident had happened, and there was no other way, so he had to take the silver on his waist and leave quickly with wine.

"This big brother has listened to it for so long, do you have any opinions?" After the shopkeeper left, Jingye set his eyes on the rugged man and said indifferently.

Hearing Jingye ask himself, the man got up and knocked off the stool, strode to Jingye and sat down, glanced at the untouched piece of sauce and meat on the table, despised Jingye, and said: "Boy, as an outsider, should you understand the rules first, and then inquire about other things." ”

Seeing the man coming alone, and the other three were still sitting in place eating and drinking, Jingye showed a puzzled look and asked, "What are the rules that the eldest brother said, the kid is far away, I really don't know." ”

"Hehe, it's simple, take a hundred taels first!" sneered, and the man asked Jingye directly for silver.

When Jingye took the silver from the shopkeeper just now, the man looked at it very seriously, and the clothes of Jingye were not ordinary, so the man judged that Jingye was a wealthy person.

"Smack!"

took out a small burden and slapped it on the table, Jingye smiled, and said, "One hundred taels is here, how about the rules first, big brother?"

The action of purifying karma attracted the attention of other people, but looking at the full burden of that hand, the man's eyes were full of greed, and then his expression was excited, where did he care about other people, and he said very eagerly: "Give one hundred taels to each of our brothers, and then this meat, we must first honor our brothers." ”

"Does that matter? It doesn't matter if you want to give it to you, but you can't do it. I only came to this inn and ordered a pot of wine and a pound of meat, if you take it, what will I do? After listening to the man's words, Jingye shook his head with a smile, and then said indifferently.

"Boy, are you a bad brain or something! To tell you the truth, if you are targeted by us today, there is only one way, death!" Looking at the appearance of pure karma, the man heard that he was playing with himself, and for a while his anger rose, and he spoke in a cold voice.

When the words fell, the man got up and rushed towards Pure Karma with a punch. Seeing this, some shook their heads, some lowered their heads and sighed, and some smiled silently.

But the next moment, an icy aura covered the entire inn, and the man stood in place, his fist resting in front of Pure Karma, his eyes wide open and his chest empty.

Jingye smiled, the blood color of his eyes faded, and the blood light on his fingertips gradually extinguished.
