"There is a city in front, why don't we stay here tonight, I think your spirit is not very good, if you are sick on the road and affect the imperial examination, it will be more than worth the loss." In the evening, Qiu Ming suggested.

Zhong Kui hesitated, counted the remaining silver taels in his pocket, and nodded: "Okay, then let's find a random one." ”

said that he was looking for a random one, but Zhong Kui took the initiative to take Qiu Ming to find a very remote inn, because it was remote, the price was also very cheap.

"And the guest officer is a student who is rushing to take the exam, right? I think it's better to live in the upper room, the upper room is quieter, the rest is better, and you can still read books at night. "Xiao Er is trying his best to sell more expensive rooms.

"No, these two are fine. By the way, you have food here, right? Qiu Ming took the initiative to say, resolving the embarrassment of Zhong Kui's shyness.

"Yes, what do you want to eat, we have meat steamed buns, fried rice, vegetable cakes here......" Xiao Er introduced several kinds of food, which are very cheap to eat.

"If you want a carp, it's bigger, and the carp must live, the kind that clatters in the basin. The beef should be the most tender piece of the neck, and I won't pay for the brisket. A white chopping chicken must be the kind of chicken that eats insects raised by the farmer, and the one that eats bran is not wanted, and the old one is not wanted. ”

"If you get two more greens, you must have fresh leafy greens, if you make radish tassels, you can't fool around. There's also a plate of broad beans, if there's fruit or something, take four cups, and you'll have a pot of the best tea here. ”

Qiu Ming threw a golden bean over, and Xiao Er looked ecstatic after catching it. Let's just say that this person doesn't look like a poor person, but most of them take care of that person's face.

Zhong Kui looked at Qiu Ming: "Brother Qiu, why did you order so many dishes?" ”

"I hit it off with you at first sight, I don't pick accommodation, but the food must be good." In the latter half of the sentence, someone once said to Qiu Ming that that person's name was Daoji.

"Besides, I didn't ask you to invite you back now, after you entered high school, will you not invite me to drink?"

Hearing Qiu Ming say this, Zhong Kui knew that it would be bad to refuse again, so he didn't say anything more. Obviously, Qiu Ming is not a bad person, when he was in his hometown, there were also many sons of wealthy gentry vying to invite him to drink, because they all felt that he could at least enter high school, and even had a chance to win the top prize!

The dishes are very fast, but Qiu Ming is not very satisfied, the chefs in this small place just can't do it, the dishes are all boiled, and there are not many seasonings, the taste may not be as good as the university cafeteria.

And Qiu Ming let a pot of tea, but he didn't know that it was actually a boiled tea soup, at this time, the "Book of Tea" had not yet come out, and few people drank tea.

No wonder it is said that drinking tea is just a matter of ordering cakes, how can this tea Qiu Ming look like seaweed soup, and a lot of salt and pepper are added to it, and the taste is very strange.

"Brother Zhong Xian, it's better to taste my wine."

Taking out the Qiankun gossip pot, Qiu Ming thought about it and poured out some wine, too strong wine for fear that Zhong Kui would not be used to drinking, as for the spirit wine, it was a bit of a waste for the current Zhong Kui, if it was the ghost king Zhong Kui, it would be no problem.

"Qin, chess, poetry, calligraphy and painting, what is Brother Qiu good at?" Zhong Kui asked after drinking a few glasses of wine.

It seems that Zhong Kui has never drunk wine, these glasses of wine are a little drunk, if you get two glasses of two pots, it won't be directly stuffy.

At first, Qiu Ming felt that Zhong Kui was an extremely introverted person, but now how can he feel a little arrogant like a genius?

"I'm okay, right, Brother Zhong Xian?"

Qiu Ming has specialized in learning Go, because many immortals like to play chess. Moreover, Qiu Ming practiced against the computer, and now he is a master among amateur players.

As for poetry, this Qiu Ming is not good at it, but he is familiar with 300 Tang and Song poems, and he also remembers a lot of poems in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Qiu Ming learned calligraphy, although he was not proficient, but it was not bad, and he learned the calligraphy of Cai Jing in the Song Dynasty. In addition, Qiu Ming's control is excellent, and he can imitate it temporarily, and he will not be worse than anyone else.

As for painting, Qiu Ming is not aimed at anyone, unless it is an immortal who is good at painting, or Ma Liang appears, he doesn't pay attention to others!

As for the piano, Qiu Ming really can't play, but with Xiaoqian, it's a big deal to let Xiaoqian play, he just acts like it, anyway, mortals can't see it.

Zhong Kui glanced at Qiu Ming curiously, this Brother Qiu is so confident, is it really very good at it?

Qiu Ming thought about it, it didn't make sense to copy other people's poems, and he was not interested in asking Xiaoqian to help, so he would draw a picture today.

asked Xiao Er to take the pen and ink, Qiu Ming quickly waved the pen, and completed a portrait in an instant. Zhong Kui looked up and saw that this was not the painting of him, this was also too similar, exactly the same as the reflection he saw in the basin.

At this time, Zhong Kui is still very handsome, although he can't say that he looks like Pan An, but he is definitely above the average, and he definitely doesn't match the ugly one.

However, Qiu Ming felt a trace of ghost aura on Zhong Kui's body, this aura was very faint, hidden in Zhong Kui's body, and it should have entered Zhong Kui's body not long ago.

In this way, it is because of these ghosts that Zhong Kui's appearance has changed greatly, and he has become a villain with a big beard, upside-down eyebrows, eyes like copper bells, and a bloody mouth.

Qiu Ming was very puzzled, didn't Zhong Kui descend from Tiankui Star? Why was he beaten by some imps, and then there was a ghost aura in his body?

There are two possibilities, one is that someone is calculating Zhong Kui, and he is also calculating Tiankuixing. In this way, Zhong Kui will not be able to return to the Heavenly Realm, and the future Tiankui Xingjun will probably have to be replaced.

The second possibility, these are all arranged by Zhong Kui himself, or arranged by the heavenly realm, Zhong Kui at least knows, otherwise the Star Monarch in the lower realm, even if there is no protector, there should be some means of protection, how can some imps hurt him?

The third possibility is an accident, such as a ghost who is very good, thinks it is funny, or something else, but the probability is too low.

Qiu Ming felt that the first possibility was relatively large, otherwise Zhong Kui would not have been named the general of the exorcism in the future, and since he had been re-sealed, the previous official position would be topped by others.

Originally, Zhong Kui's reincarnation in the Nether Realm may be the same as other monks, just to get some merits, spread the prestige of Tiankui Star, and get some incense, but he didn't expect to be calculated.

Qiu Ming suddenly had a bold idea, if he cleared the ghost qi in Zhong Kui's body, what would be the result?

"Brother Qiu's painting skills are amazing, and the younger brother is ashamed of himself." When he said this, Zhong Kui actually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The painting skills are so good, then other poetry articles or something will definitely not be too good, so Qiu Ming is definitely not admitted to the Jinshi, and there is no threat to him.
