Chapter 259: It's All Acquaintances
Qiyuan Stone, a strange thing in the Nine Desolations, is said to have been born from the convergence of heaven and earth aura at the beginning of chaos.
Yuanshen Yuanxing created a cultivation method suitable for human beings, which is to use this stone to activate the power of the divine bloodline in the world's body, so that the way of cultivation can flourish in the world.
These records from the Nine Desolations Records, Li Ding can be said to have a deep memory, but he didn't expect that his cultivation path started from Qiyuan Stone, and maybe he will stop at Qiyuan Stone today.
As long as he puts his hand on the Qiyuan Stone, his Thunderwood dual-attribute vitality physique will definitely not be hidden, and his identity will inevitably be exposed, because such a physique is unique in the world.
Seeing the officer approaching step by step, frustration and unwillingness poured into Li Ding's mind at the same time, making his hanging heartstrings about to break.
However, when the officer stepped forward, his serious expression was suddenly stunned, and he said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, how could it be you." ”
Shopkeeper Zhang was also stunned and exclaimed, "It's you...... Why is your face ......?"
The officer named Liu Ke sighed and nodded, then looked at Li Ding, who was in a cold sweat, and immediately said again: "This is my own child, I was frightened by what happened just now, and I was a little unwell, so I ......"
Liu Ke frowned, looked left and right, and found that the officers and soldiers at both ends were busy with their own affairs, so he whispered: "Then don't check, let's go." ”
This was unexpected, making Li Ding, who was sandwiched between the two, completely overwhelmed, but Wang Lei reacted quickly, pulled him up and walked towards the exit.
The other officers and soldiers did not make much further inspection, and the three of them successfully returned to the aisle to complete the rest of the distance, and when they were released. Immediately get into the carriage and go out of the arch at the end of the canyon.
From entering the canyon to walking out of the canyon, the distance of less than fifty zhang is Yulong Pass. But it gave Li Ding a feeling of walking through life and death.
Until the carriage had already walked out of the arch for a while, he seemed to be still in a trance.
Pass through the Jade Dragon Pass. Outside the arch was a mountain road that was extremely high and located halfway up the mountain, but it was extremely wide, enough for four carriages to run parallel and down the mountain to the col.
At a glance, the front is full of mountains and clouds, but the mountains are not high, and it is completely different scenery compared with the strange peaks and dangerous mountains outside the Jade Dragon Pass.
However, Li Ding was not in the mood to appreciate all this at all.
Along the way, Li Ding kept his head shut and didn't speak. Shopkeeper Zhang also rested in the car, while Wang Lei concentrated on catching the car until it was getting dark.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, I've arrived at the post station. When the carriage stopped suddenly, Wang Lei drove the curtain of the car.
"Oh. Shopkeeper Zhang opened his eyes, obviously slept well, and said, "Trouble Brother Wang, I said call a man, you have to catch the car yourself." Exhausted, aren't you?"
Wang Lei grinned: "That's something." As he spoke, the shopkeeper Zhang immediately reached out and patted Li Ding.
"Brother Lei, it's time to the post station, let's stay for one night and then leave. Shopkeeper Zhang said.
Li Dingru woke up from a dream. Raising his head and glancing at the shopkeeper, he suddenly asked, "Why did that officer let us go just now?"
The sudden question made Shopkeeper Zhang and Wang Lei stunned, and Shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help laughing: "I also said what happened to Mr. Lei." It turns out that I was thinking about this all the way, and you get out of the car first. I'll talk to you slowly when I'm done. ”
Li Ding was stunned, got up and walked out of the carport. Only then did he notice that it was almost dark outside, and hurriedly said, "What...... Is it all dark?"
Hearing this, Wang Lei's face suddenly sank and said, "I said you haven't woken up yet, we've been gone all afternoon." ”
Hearing that Wang Lei's tone was not wrong, Li Ding got out of the car a little dazed, and followed the shopkeeper Zhang into a brightly lit inn.
Wang Lei followed the carriage in, only to see that the inn was divided into two floors, and there were more than ten tables on the lower floor, most of which were already full of people, eating, drinking and chatting, which seemed a little noisy.
After the three of them chose a table in the corner and sat down, Wang Lei shouted Xiao Er in the direction of the counter, and only then did a man wearing a hat and a rag on his shoulder run over with a smile and said, "Three guest officers, what do you want to eat?"
"Bring a few of your best dishes here, two more jugs of good wine, and three more suits. Shopkeeper Zhang said.
Xiao Er was wiping the table with a rag, but when he heard it, he said with a sad face: "Guest officer, it's okay to have good wine and good food, but there is only one room left in this upper room." ”
"Other rooms are fine, as long as the bedding is cleaned, you don't have to worry about the room price. Shopkeeper Zhang said, reaching out and throwing two gold coins on the table.
Xiao Er immediately smiled and accepted the gold coin, but still said: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, there is really only one room, or the three of you will be crowded." ”
"Really?" Wang Lei frowned and asked sharply.
The frightened little two with a loud voice were stunned, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, this dare to tell a lie, you have also seen that there are too many people passing by in the past two days, and this post station is just one inn for us, and there is really only one room left." ”
"Forget it, one by one, we want the room, you call someone to hurry up and hit two bunks, to be soft and know. Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Wang Lei and shook his head, unable to figure out why he was suddenly so angry.
Seeing that the shopkeeper Zhang relieved him, Xiao Er thanked him again and again, and immediately went to prepare the wine and food and the room.
After a while, the wine and a few side dishes with all the colors and flavors were delivered, Wang Lei took a pot of wine without saying a word, and even poured a few glasses and drank it all, even calling for good wine.
Shopkeeper Zhang wanted to pour wine for Li Ding, but Li Ding shirked it, so he had to pour himself a glass and drink with Wang Lei.
After eating for a while, seeing that Li Ding's face was always not good, and he didn't eat much, the shopkeeper Zhang put down his chopsticks and said, "Does Lei Gongzi have something on his mind, or is he really scared by the murderous scene?"
Wang Lei only cared about drinking, and when he heard the shopkeeper ask like this, he couldn't help but say with a pale face: "Brother Lei, if this is the case, the elder brother will look down on you a little, and the man's husband walks in all directions, so there is a reason to be frightened by this scene." This world is like this, killing constantly, the weak eat the strong, that day no one dies, if you are really afraid, I advise you to go home early and don't go out. ”
These words were like a sharp sword, piercing Li Ding's heart, making his whole body shocked, and he looked up at Wang Lei and said, "Brother Wang, do you think I'm afraid of death?"
Wang Lei snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it? Thinking of your cowardly appearance when you were in the Jade Dragon Pass, I get angry." ”
Li Ding smiled bitterly, and suddenly said with a fierce look in his eyes: "I respect Brother Wang for being a man with a true temperament, and please don't insult me." ”
In an instant, the day before, they had met late, and the two who called Brother Daobei looked at each other like enemies.
"Alright, alright. Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly said: "I think there must be a misunderstanding in the middle, Brother Wang is really cool, straightforward and fast-talking, and please don't be surprised." However, Lei Gongzi's performance today is indeed surprising, if there is really something, why not say it, let us share the burden for you, so as not to hold back your heart and get sick. ”
"Hmph. Wang Lei snorted coldly again: "It's obviously cowardly, I think if I hadn't pulled him away fast at that time, he would have been scared to pee his pants in front of Liu Ke." ”
Li Ding clenched his teeth, suddenly picked up the wine jug on the table, and roared a few times: "Okay, I'm just cowardly, I'm just afraid of death, what's wrong, if you feel that being together is in the way of your eyes, I'll just go." With that, he got up and walked out of the inn.
Shopkeeper Zhang grabbed it, turned his head and said hurriedly: "Brother Wang, look at this trouble, hurry up and say something, this barren mountain and wild mountains, there is this post station within a radius of 100 miles, where do you want Lei Gongzi to go." ”
Wang Lei frowned, and was about to speak, but Li Ding shook off the shopkeeper Zhang and said first: "Shopkeeper Zhang, even if you are rude, we will meet later, and we will meet soon." ”
But he didn't want to take a step and turn around and collide with a person, Li Ding hurriedly looked up and couldn't help but be stunned.
"It turns out that the son's surname is Lei, and the old man is polite. On the other side, an old man smiled and said to Li Ding.
Here, the shopkeeper Zhang was shouting pity, and when he saw the old man, he was also stunned, and then immediately grabbed Li Ding again, and said respectfully to the old man: "Why, you also know Lei Gongzi." ”
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Don't you know, yesterday outside the Jade Dragon Pass, if it weren't for the fact that Lei Gongzi defeated a robber from the Imperial Spirit Realm alone, the old man wouldn't have had a chance to sit here and drink today." ”
"What?" said several people next to him, who were already attracted by the noise, almost in unison.
In an instant, the originally noisy inn turned out to be much quieter, and many people turned their heads to look at Li Ding.
"At such a young age, is it possible to defeat the Imperial Spirit Realm?"
"Look at that, the oily man must be a young master from a rich family, brag. ”
Soon, there was a whisper of chatter.
"You recognized the wrong person. In the face of these discussions, Li Ding said coldly.
However, the old man was the old man who was saved by Li Ding outside the Jade Dragon Pass, and he saw his eyes flash, and said with a smile: "Well, the old man's eyes are not good, and he really recognized the wrong person." ”
"What......" The people around couldn't help but sigh, and the inn suddenly resumed its liveliness.
Shopkeeper Zhang had already opened his mouth wide, and slowly closed it when he heard Daddy Jin's words, but then his eyes rolled and he hurriedly said to Li Ding: "Master Lei, no matter what you do in Wangcheng, you must get to know this person, Jin Ye, it will be beneficial to you and harmless." ”
Li Ding's heart sank, seeing that the shopkeeper Zhang's age was not much younger than this Jin Daddy, not to mention that he was still an alchemist, but in the face of Jin Daddy, Zhang's shopkeeper seemed to be no longer a simple respect, but a completely flattering attitude.
However, what is the relationship between them Li Ding was not interested at this time, he had already seen that Shopkeeper Zhang wanted to leave him behind under the pretext, so he said: "Since Shopkeeper Zhang has met an acquaintance, then you can talk slowly, and you will not accompany him." ”
After speaking, he walked out of the inn again, but Daddy Jin suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Since Childe himself said that he was an acquaintance, he couldn't say anything if he didn't sit down and have a drink, right?"
"What the hell do you want?" Li Ding's face was slightly angry, and he reached out to push Daddy Jin's arm away, but found that under the force, he didn't move at all.
