Officially on the road, Xing Shuchen knew how big this cultivation realm was, and also knew why Grandpa Nine wanted to take him to set off three months earlier. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info because this road is too far away.

Grandpa Jiu told Xing Shuchen that these three months were the time for him to help him lay a solid foundation and consolidate his cultivation, so he could only rush by walking. Regarding his decision, Xing Shuchen surprisingly agreed. This was a big surprise to Xing Jiu, and he thought that this stinky boy would have to make a fuss.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he also understood the reason for this: it was because of Xiao Lin, his appearance completely aroused Xing Shuchen's competitive heart hidden in his heart, and the biggest motivation for him to cooperate with himself was to become stronger. Xing Shuchen was so obedient, he was happy to save trouble.

Because of Xing Shuchen's cooperation, it was much less difficult for him to implement the plan, so the actual speed of the two of them was much faster than he expected before. It only took two months to complete the distance that he was expected to be able to complete in three months, and this was on the premise that he had increased the amount of Xing Jichen's training.

Two months have passed, and Xing Zhuchen is still only at the realm of the early stage of the Ninth Fold, but his Dao foundation is much stronger than when he had just completed the empowerment two months ago.

Because the previous day's training delayed the trip, Xing Jiu's grandfather and grandson had to rush for a day to barely reach this ancient city that was only half a day's journey away from the Dao Sect.

Entering the city, Xing Jiu was also relieved, only to see him say to Xing Shuchen:

"Stinky boy, I find it scary for you to start a crazy practice. It was a long time to delay the journey. ”

After a day's journey, Xing Shuchen was also a little tired, and said lazily:

"What's the hurry, aren't we a whole month ahead of schedule, are you still afraid that I won't be able to catch up with the apprenticeship ceremony?"

"I'm not afraid that you won't be able to catch up with the apprenticeship ceremony, but I'm afraid that we won't be able to enter the city in time. I don't want to sleep in the middle of nowhere. ”

Regarding Xing Jiu's words, Xing Shuchen expressed great disdain:

"It's like we've never slept. Seeing that Xing Jiu's face was red, he didn't make a sound, and he didn't intend to dwell on this topic:

"What? We're going to stay in this city tonight. ”

"Of course, seeing that the city gate is about to close, where are you going to go if you don't live in the city?"

They looked for several inns in a row, but Xing Jiu didn't seem to be satisfied. In the end, the grandfather and grandson came to the door of a very inconspicuous inn. Xing Jiu looked up twice, and suddenly said:

"Come on, that's it. ”

Xing Shuchen looked up at the inn, and then at Grandpa Jiu. He thought to himself, why is this old man crazy to live in such a broken shop? But he didn't ask, but he vaguely felt that this matter didn't seem to be so simple. I'm afraid today's meal won't be so delicious.

After entering the hotel, he immediately felt the difference in the atmosphere of the store, and he had not stayed in the inn for the past two months, and none of them had an atmosphere like this. The air seemed to be filled with the smell of blood, and the people who were eating in the restaurant were constantly looking at the two of them, and the coldness in their eyes was almost undisguised.

At this time, the shopkeeper also stepped forward and looked at the two of them with strange expressions:

"Tip or stay?"

The shopkeeper asked, the voice was indescribably weird, very loud, but muffled. It's like a toad wearing a mask. Of course, this is just Xing Jichen's feeling, because he doesn't know what the sound of a toad wearing a mask is, but Mo Yuan feels that it should be similar to the voice of this little two. Xing Shuchen not only looked at him a few more times

But Xing Jiu didn't seem to have any reaction to his voice, as if he wasn't interested in him. Expressionless replied:

"Stay at the hotel, but eat something first. ”

"What do you want to eat?" said the shopkeeper again, his voice still sounding so awkward.

Xing Jiu didn't even look at the menu he handed over, and casually reported the names of a few dishes. Finally, when Xiao Er turned around to leave, he added:

"No cauliflower, no white meat. ”

Hearing his words, Xing Shuchen was stunned for a moment, he squinted his eyes, and found that it seemed that the shopkeeper also frowned. His expression was a little uncertain, and he kept looking at Xing Jiu. It's as if you want to see something.

"What are you looking at, why don't you go quickly?" Xing Jiuhu was stunned, and a strong momentum emanated invisibly from his body, how could his eyesight be able to withstand this shopkeeper. I saw that his legs were weak and he almost knelt on the ground. hurriedly ran away, not daring to say any more nonsense.

The other guests didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous old man would be so arrogant, and they couldn't help but look here, and when they felt the strong momentum exuded from his body, everyone knew that this was not a weak master. So no one came out to meddle with anything.

Xing Jiu looked around at the crowd, feeling that he seemed to be a little disappointed. But Xing Shuchen couldn't figure out where he was disappointed.

Xing Shuchen felt the aura emanating from the Ninth Grandfather, and it seemed that there was only a coercion at the level of gradual enlightenment. When I connected to what Grandpa Nine had said before, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. So he asked Xing Jiu in a low voice:

"Ninth Grandpa, what the hell is going on. What are cauliflower and white meat, and what is this shop......?

Xing Jiu looked at him, couldn't help but nodded, leaned over and said in the same low voice:

"Cauliflower is some vegetables that look similar to ordinary vegetables, but in fact contain highly poisonous vegetables, and white meat is human flesh. As for this shop...... You're right, it's a black shop. ”

"It's really a black shop!" Xing Shuchen almost shouted, but he managed to control it. I only heard him grit his teeth and whisper:

"I said that you are not satisfied with how you have walked so many good inns, you have to come to such a broken inn, you have been taking me to find a black shop. I said, why are you in such a hurry to enter the city today, you are waiting for me here. You said that you old man, if you want to live in the city, you can live in the city, why do you have to live in such a place? ”

Xing Jiu saw that he was about to jump on his feet, and hurriedly spoke to stabilize him:

"Hey, don't get so excited. Isn't it just going into a black shop, as for making such a fuss? You said that you are a monk now, and it is inevitable that you will go out alone in the future, if you don't even have this ability to discern, how can you still gain a foothold in the cultivation realm? I'm afraid that you won't know how to die when the time comes. ”

As soon as Xing Shuchen heard what he said, it seemed to make some sense, so he slowly calmed down and continued to listen to Xing Jiu say:

"The main purpose of bringing you to the black shop this time is to teach you how to distinguish it. ”

"Can this thing be distinguished?" Xing Shuchen couldn't help but be a little curious.

Of course, it can be distinguished, the so-called state has national laws, and there are rules. Those who open black shops also have their own rules and systems. Of course, some retail investors who do not follow the rules and are independent are not excluded here. However, most of the black shops still abide by their uniform rules.

Black shops are generally built in the outer city or suburbs, and there are still very few stores like the one we are now that dare to build in the city, which just shows that the strength of this shopkeeper is relatively strong. Next, I'll tell you how to distinguish a black store. ”

After finishing speaking, Xing Jiu paused a little to take a breath, and sorted out his thoughts by the way, before continuing to speak:

"First of all, the plaque of the black shop is different from that of an ordinary inn, if you don't believe it, you can go outside and look at the plaque hanging in this inn, there will definitely be a knife mark in the middle. No matter how deep or shallow, there must be one. Because the name of the store is engraved on the plaque, and there is a knife mark in the middle, it means that there is danger in the store. So that you can know the black shop before you arrive at the inn.

Secondly, the doors of ordinary inns are all open inward, which means to welcome guests. The door of the black shop is open outward, which means that there is no fear of visitors. And compared with ordinary inns, the door frame of the black store is lower, and the threshold is higher. They call it 'Hades' mouth. This allows you to know the black shop before you enter the inn.

In the end, I saw that Mr. Bookkeeper's abacus was not there, and the abacus was black and red from the frame to the rod and then to the beads, in fact, the abacus was all soaked in blood, which means that they were doing a bloody business. This allows you to know the black shop as soon as you enter the inn.

These three places are collectively known as the three obstacles, from far and near to remind you three times, if you don't notice three times, then you can only blame your poor observation skills, you deserve to be unlucky. ”

After Xing Jiu finished speaking in one breath, Xing Shuchen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that there would be so many rules in a small black shop. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

At this time, the shopkeeper brought up all the food they ordered. During the whole process from serving the food to going down, he didn't dare to look at Xing Jiu again.

Xing Shuchen was also really hungry, and he knew that there was no poison or no flesh in this dish, so he was just about to pick up the dishes with chopsticks. Unexpectedly, Xing Jiu grabbed his hand that stretched out to the chopsticks.

"Well, what's wrong?" Xing Shuchen was a little confused, but after being stunned for two seconds, he suddenly realized that there must be some knowledge in this. So he took his hand back in a daze. saw Xing Jiu take out a bag from his arms and put it on the table.

His action caused everyone to look at him, and they didn't know what they were looking at. Ignoring the gaze of these people, he took out two pairs of chopsticks from his bag and put them back in his arms.

After that, Xing Zhuchen noticed that several people got up and left one after another. Xing Jiu didn't seem to see it, and handed a pair of chopsticks to Xing Shuchen's hand:

"Hurry up and eat, it's been a day's journey, eat more, so as to replenish your strength." ”

Xing Shuchen took the chopsticks suspiciously, this old man had cheated him several times today, and he vaguely felt that there must be something strange in this matter. He quietly took the chopsticks, thinking about what was wrong. His mouth was not idle, and he asked Grandpa Nine in a low voice:

"Why can't you use the chopsticks here?"

"I see you're quite smart just now, why have you become so stupid now? These people who came in, the black shop naturally had to find a way to distinguish which one came in knowing that this was a black store, and which one was the wronged boss who broke in by mistake.

In addition to being able to distinguish between white meat and cauliflower, the most important thing is to rely on this chopsticks, and those who know that they bring chopsticks are people who understand, and those who don't know how to prepare chopsticks by themselves are wronged. ”

Xing Shuchen thought for a moment:

"What if you understand that people don't have chopsticks with them?"

"That's a good question, and I understand that people don't have chopsticks with them, and the way to eat here is very simple. Speaking of this, Xing Jiu smiled slightly: "Grab it." ”

"Well, it's pretty simple and crude. Xing Shuchen sighed helplessly, and suddenly, he seemed to remember something: "Then what did those people who went out just now?"

"They, they're going to ......" Xing Jiu was caught off guard, and almost slipped out: "I said why have you been asking questions there, it turned out that you were waiting for me here, and I almost let you go around." You'll know that in a moment, but I'll advise you, but you'll have your fill of food. Otherwise......"

Speaking of this, Xing Jiu showed a very weird smile and stopped talking.

Xing Shuchen looked at his sinister expression, and secretly said something bad in his heart.
