Chapter 374: The People's Inn

There are no clouds and clear skies.

Lin Yun rode on the unicorn and walked slowly through the road, playing with a copper lamp in his hand, and the bell on his chest was also ringing slightly.

After leaving Lin Yinguo, Lin Yun, Jian Er, Kong Mo and Mo Bing'er traveled all the way along the borders of various countries, and in two days, they were about to arrive at the border between Yanchi and Yiqi.

Several people inquired all the way, but they didn't know any information about the operation to kill the "Jade Princess", obviously these people are quite secretive, and if they don't have the guidance of the inside, it will be difficult for others to break into the inside.

Lin Yun happily shook the Soul Suppression Bell on his chest, he had already preliminarily cultivated the Soul Suppression Bell, and he also had some understanding of the situation of the Soul Suppression Bell.

The little bell is not good-looking, but it is infinitely useful. Not to mention the various means of concealing the aura, the Soul Suppression Bell also has a rather practical effect, that is, if he encounters someone who is not very determined, Lin Yun can control it through the Soul Suppression Bell.

Of course, this effect is not effective from time to time, and even if it can be successful, it can only control some Qi cultivators whose Yuan Shen is still unstable or ordinary people who have no cultivation.

"Look, there's an inn up ahead. Mo Bing'er straddled the white dragon's back and raised her finger to point ahead.

Everyone looked in the direction of her jade point, but saw a rather old one, a vertical flag hanging outside the house, and four words were written crookedly on the flag: People's Inn.

Looking at this name, Mo Bing'er burst out laughing, the people's inn is really concise and to the point.

Lin Yun looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, let's stay here tonight, this is located in the border area, there must be a lot of merchants coming and going, not much can I hear some news from their mouths." ”

When Mo Zixun was away, everyone had always been led by Lin Yun, and hearing him say this, Jian Er and the others had nothing to do.

The furnishings in the people's inn are extremely simple, a counter, a few wooden tables, a few benches next to the table, and a few rows of wooden shelves with wine bowls, which is all in the lobby of this inn.

"The shopkeeper, open two upper rooms. Lin Yun slapped a silver ticket of one hundred taels on the table and waited quietly.

At present, the shopkeeper in the store is constantly moving the abacus, and after glancing at the silver ticket slightly, he snorted coldly: "I'm sorry, it's full." ”

Lin Yun was choked by the shopkeeper, considering that the other party was just an ordinary person, and he didn't care about it, he took out a silver ticket from his wrist at the moment, pushed it in front of the shopkeeper, and said, "I'll wait for me to come from afar, please make it convenient." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at the silver ticket again, his eyes closed slightly, and he sneered: "Which one of you came to stay with me didn't come from afar?" There is no upper room, but there is one in the firewood room, if you are interested, go to the backyard, if you are not interested, please take care of yourself." ”

Lin Yun was slightly angry, the border was lonely, there was no one in the four fields after nightfall, if you want to find a place to stay, you will have to run at least dozens of miles, and I am afraid that the sky will be bright by then.

Kong Mo said with a smile: "Okay, it's better to have a firewood house than to sleep in the wilderness, bear with it, practice for a night, and it will soon pass." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yun was even more angry, two hundred taels of silver could only live in a firewood room, which seemed to be too dark.

Just when everyone was hesitating whether to go to the firewood room to spend the night, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the inn.

A group of men dressed in Taoist robes walked into the inn and stood in front of the counter, looking at their number, there were six people.

The leader bowed his hand slightly to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, please open six upper rooms for us." ”

When the shopkeeper saw the arrival of the man in the Taoist robe, a trace of flattery suddenly appeared on his face, and he hurriedly took down the wooden cards from behind him, handed them to those Taoist people one by one, and stretched out his arms sideways and said, "The villain leads the way for the adult." ”

Seeing this, even Mo Bing'er, who had always been good-tempered, had a trace of anger on her face.

Jian Er had been worried about Yu Jinyao's safety in his heart for several days, and he was already a little bored, but when he saw this, he slapped his palm on the counter and said coldly: "Stop!"

When he raised his hand, a deep palm print had been left on the wooden counter.

Seeing Jian Er show this hand, the group of Daoists all secretly applauded, regardless of cultivation, but this level of control of mana was difficult for many people to match.

"How are you going?" the shopkeeper was visibly panicked, took two steps back, and hid behind the Taoists.

Kenji grinned, revealing his white teeth, and subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and asked with a smile, "This is your so-called Manke?"

At this time, one of the Daoists came out in line and stood in front of the shopkeeper, blocking Jian Er's momentum.

It was a mild-mannered young man, dressed in a Taoist robe that set off his gentle and jade-like temperament just right, and at his waist, there was also a sword hanging out of the sheath.

I saw that the Dao person bowed his hand slightly to Jian Er, and said, "In Xia Ye Forget Chen, I don't know what this brother is called?"

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, the other party is so polite, Jian Er is not good to have another attack, and he is also polite at the moment: "If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, Jian Er." ”

"But the Mo family's Snow Eagle Guard commands Jian Er?" The Taoist who called himself Ye Wangchen had a little surprise on his face, obviously he had already heard of Jian Er's name.

Kenji nodded, "Yes." ”

Ye Wangchen said with a smile: "I heard that the second commander of the sword has a very good relationship with the new 'Jade Princess', but is there such a thing?"

Jian Er glanced at Ye Wangchen, a hint of vigilance appeared on his face, and he asked rhetorically, "Why did Brother Ye ask such a question?"

Seeing Jian Er like this, Ye Wangchen waved his hand and said, "Brother Jian, don't misunderstand, there is no evil intention in the future." When we meet, we will give up the two upper rooms and give them to Brother Jian, how about it?"

Hearing this, a Taoist beside Ye Wangchen hesitated: "Forget the real person, I'm afraid this is ......."

"Needless to say, I can trust this second sword brother. Ye Wangchen smiled lightly.

Jian Er glanced at Ye Wangchen, did not refuse, just arched his hand and said, "Then thank you." ”

Ye Wangchen bowed his hand slightly towards Jian Er, and then turned around and left with the shopkeeper, leaving only Lin Yun and the others looking at each other in the lobby.

"What is the origin of this Ye Wangchen, could it be that he is also here to conspire with 'big things'?" Lin Yun looked at Ye Wangchen's free and easy back, and couldn't help but have a little doubt in his heart.

Kong Mo shook his head and said, "No." ”

"How do you know?" Lin Yun asked with a frown. Kong Mo has lived in the overseas immortal island for a long time, and he doesn't know much about things on the mainland, and his experience in the rivers and lakes is almost zero, how can he know?

Kong Mo said with a smile: "I heard my father say that the scattered cultivation in Yiqi is divided into two factions: Buddhism and Taoism, among which Buddhism is represented by Shantideva, and he rarely interacts with the official family on weekdays, while the monks of the Taoist Gate are almost all the guests of the Yiqi King, although they still claim to be casual cultivators, in fact, they are almost in the officialdom. ”

"I think this person is not simple, although his cultivation is not high, but he seems to have an otherworldly meaning in his bones, and I don't know what the origin is. Jian Er said suddenly.

Lin Yun said: "In any case, there is no need to sleep in the wilderness, it is hard to travel, everyone can rest well tonight." With that, he crossed over the counter and took down two wooden signs, trying to lead everyone to the backyard.

Jian Er's right hand reached out slightly, and he already firmly grasped Lin Yun's arm, and said, "Wait, I have something to tell you." ”

Lin Yun was slightly stunned, and then smiled at Kong Mo and Mo Bing'er: "Brother Kong, Bing'er, you go to the shopkeeper to find two upper rooms first, and the two of us will arrive later." ”

After Mo Bing'er and Kong Mo left, Jian Erxing went to the wooden frame and took down two jars of spirits, raised his hand and threw one of the jars to Lin Yun, then took off the wine seal, found a wooden table and sat down.

"I'm in a bad mood, let's have a drink. Jian Er looked up and smiled at Lin Yun.

"Good. Lin Yun also smiled slightly, he and Jian Er have also experienced many winds and waves together, and they know each other's thoughts very well.

The wine burns people's hearts, but the glass cannot be left in the hand.

Jian Er raised his head and poured half a jar of spirits, exhaled a long breath, and said, "I really miss the days when I was in the snow mountain, almost carefree. ”

Lin Yun nodded in approval, yes, since they left the Snow Mountain, they have each experienced too much and carried too much, the burden on their shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, but there are fewer and fewer people around them.

Thousands of dollars are easy to get, but confidants are hard to find.

Kenji smiled, "I remember you once asked me what my real name was, but now I can tell you." ”

"Oh?" Lin Yun suddenly became a little interested, he was curious that Jian Er's real name was not a day or two, but almost everyone in the Mo family called him Jian Er, even the original Bai Lao actually called him the same.

Lin Yun only knew his surname Bai, but he didn't know the next two words.

The wine surged up, Jian Er's cheeks were slightly red, and he smiled: "My real name is Bai Siyu. ”

Lin Yun touched his chin and couldn't help teasing, "This is like a woman's name." ”

Kenji sneered and continued, "Yes, I really want a woman's name. The reason why I keep using the name Kenji is because I am like a woman, and because I don't want to admit that I am Bai Zicheng's son. ”

Siyu, Siyu, Lin Yun silently recited twice, but he couldn't help but sigh, yes, Jian Er's father Bai Zicheng should be the "Jade Princess" who couldn't forget the original "Jade Princess" for a long time, so that after getting married and having Jian Er, he named him Siyu.

"This must be the source of the conflict between your father and son. Lin Yun sighed.

Jian Er nodded and said: "Since I can remember, my mother has been as sad as ever, she has been waiting, waiting for Bai Zicheng to change her mind, but Bai Zicheng has never appeared in front of her, and she has not even seen her again until she died." ”

Lin Yun felt a trace of bitterness in his heart for no reason, but he somewhat understood the misery of Jian Er's mother, who had been defending his man for so many years, but in the end he didn't even wait for a word of goodbye.

Maybe it's because of creation, but I can't imagine that after so many years, Bai Zicheng's son Jian Er actually came together with Yu Jinyao, the daughter of the "Jade Princess", and the word fate is really elusive.

Jian Er poured another sip of liquor and sneered: "I didn't expect that this time the 'Jade Princess' fell, Bai Zicheng actually forcibly broke out of the pass of life and death. ”
