Volume 1 Snowy Boy Chapter 111 The Kind Shopkeeper Er
Xiao Hei heard Ling Yu's extremely firm answer, and he was puzzled for a while: "How do you know that he is not from the Cold Moon Pavilion?" Xiao Hei remembered what Ye Ming had said, the branch of the Cold Moon Pavilion in Junhuai Town was run by a Taoist priest named Han Qingzhen, could it be this unscrupulous Taoist priest.
Ling Yu saw that Xiao Heixin had doubts, touched his earlobe, and said softly: "Judging from the behavior of Senior Brother Ye Ming and the words of the shopkeeper, this Han Qing Zhenren must be a sinister and vicious person, if the person who came today is a Han Qing Zhenren, since he can sneak into your room quietly, he can naturally attack you when you are defenseless, but he didn't." Now that we and the Cold Moon Pavilion are already in an endless situation, in this case he will not take your life, do you think it is reasonable? This is one of them, and the other is that I fought with Ye Ming today, and I fought with unscrupulous Taoist priests, and found that their martial arts paths and true qi trajectories are completely different, so their exercises must not be the same one. Third, if the unscrupulous Taoist priests are from the Cold Moon Pavilion, they have been here for many years, and they are close to the water, they can have already done something to Liu Long, so why wait for us to kill Liu Long before coming out. Ling Yu's eyes were like electricity, staring at the pavilion in the mountains in the distance, and telling the cause of the matter one by one.
"But if he is not from the Cold Moon Pavilion, then how does he know that the "Canglong Jin" is in our hands?" Xiao Hei thought that the unscrupulous Taoist priest was a cultivator of the Cold Moon Pavilion, and guessed that Ye Ming should have informed him of what happened when he returned to the Cold Moon Pavilion, so he sneaked in overnight and stole the "Canglong Jin".
"No, even if Ye Ming told the people of the Cold Moon Pavilion that the Canglong Jin was in our hands, they didn't know where we were, I searched the window all afternoon, and I didn't find any trace of the cultivators of the Cold Moon Pavilion. Ling Yu shook his head and said firmly.
"Then how did this stinky Taoist priest know that Canglong Jin was in our hands? I don't believe he found it by mistake. Xiao Hei remembered what the unscrupulous Taoist priest had done, and he was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched. He clenched his fists and squeezed a word out between his teeth.
"If you extrapolate like this, then there is only one possibility! That is, he has been following us since the afternoon, so he can know exactly where we are hiding, and he can sneak into your room at the right time to steal "Canglong Jin". Ling Yu's eyes closed slightly, thinking. Although he was a little unconvinced of this inference, the facts were in front of him.
"Since the afternoon?, you mean he's been spying on the Willow Dragon since the time we were fighting?!" Xiao Hei also showed an incredulous expression. If this is really the case, then this unscrupulous Taoist priest is very powerful, and he has endured it until now for the right time.
"There is only this possibility, don't disbelieve it, we have all fought with this Taoist priest, his cultivation is much higher than mine, and since he was able to sneak into your room without you noticing, it is obvious that his divine sense is also extremely powerful. So, it was normal that we didn't notice him in the afternoon. Ling Yu shook her head and smiled bitterly, she didn't expect that this day was really a bamboo basket for water. had a grudge with the Cold Moon Pavilion and lost "Canglong Jin" again, but fortunately, the boxing book has been remembered by them. It's just that who this powerful Taoist priest is, his identity makes Ling Yu puzzled.
"So what do we do now?" Xiao Hei asked softly with a blank expression.
"Now, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here tonight, and we'll have to leave overnight. The shouts of the unscrupulous Taoist priests just now will definitely alarm the eyes of the Cold Moon Pavilion in Junhuai Town, and it is estimated that they will search for us overnight, and it is no longer safe here. Ling Yu said in a deep voice.
As soon as Ling Yu's words fell, he heard a noisy sound from downstairs. Ling Yu turned sideways and looked downstairs from the window, and found that a group of white-clothed cultivators suddenly appeared on the street, this group of white-clothed men and women were all carrying Qingyun swords, and their clothing styles and swords were the same as Ye Ming's clothes and swords. Obviously, they were all from the Cold Moon Pavilion, and at this time they were going from house to house, holding portraits of themselves and Xiao Hei in their hands, and the portraits were seven points similar to them.
"It's fast enough!" Ling Yu looked at the Cold Moon Pavilion cultivators on the street, a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Then, Ling Yu held the Gu Pu Broken Sword in his hand, because he found that there was already a group of people approaching Jixian Residence.
"Oh, heroes, what are you going to eat today? I'll let the kitchen make it, and I'll serve it to you right away. "Listening to the voice, the shopkeeper who was chatting with Ling Yu in the afternoon was greeting a group of cultivators. Ling Yu and the others had strong divine senses and excellent ear power, so it was not surprising that they could hear their conversation.
"Don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu doesn't eat today, let me ask you, have you ever seen these two people on the portrait!" A cultivator had a rough voice, as if he was holding the portrait of Ling Yu and the others to ask the shopkeeper.
Hearing the cultivator's question, Ling Yu and the others upstairs clenched their weapons tightly in their hands, ready to attack. Ling Yu's mind turned sharply, thinking about how to break out of the encirclement. There are no less than fifty cultivators on the street, and rushing out rashly will definitely be a bloody battle, and you must think of all the best measures.
"Hero, business is not very good today, so he lives alone, and he is not the person in your portrait. After the shopkeeper saw the portrait, his heart tightened, his brain teaser was quick, and he hurriedly said with a smile.
For a guy like him who deals with people all year round, it is a basic skill to be moody and angry. He originally didn't have a good impression of the Cold Moon Pavilion cultivators of these fish and meat people, and he also accepted other people's silver, not to mention that he didn't feel that Ling Yu didn't look like a wicked person, so he risked his life to help.
"Are you sure? Tell you, don't lie to me, if you let me know that you lied to me, not only you, but the whole restaurant will be buried for you. The cultivator with a rough voice said viciously.
"The little one understands, the little one understands, hero, we have a new batch of fine wine in the store, I'll go get you some to take with you, and you can drink it on the way." The shopkeeper had a smile on his face, trying his best to reassure the cultivator, and changed the subject to make the cultivator believe his words.
"It's still your acquaintance, go and get me three jars of good wine, Lao Tzu will go to search somewhere else soon. Fuck, the two rabbit cubs made the uncle sleep badly, and it was better not to let me catch them, otherwise it would ......" The cultivator complained and said with a scolding grin.
It didn't take long to hear the shopkeeper downstairs say: "Hero, this is the good wine you want, you take it." The shopkeeper handed the three jars of wine to the cultivator, nodded and said.
"Okay, there's nothing to do with you, I'm going to go somewhere else, damn it. The cultivator took the wine, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, and led his three men to mumble as he walked towards the outside of Jixian's residence.
Ling Yu and the others saw that the cultivators had already left upstairs, and their hearts were relieved a little. Just then, I heard hurried footsteps in the stairwell. Then, there was a knock on the door from outside Ling Yu's room. Ling Yu opened the door and found that the shopkeeper was waiting at the door, his face anxious. Ling Yu looked behind the shopkeeper and made sure that no one was following, so he opened the door through a gap and invited the shopkeeper to enter.
"Shaoxia, you two should leave quickly, I'm afraid they will come back later. I know the cultivator just now, and if I don't know the next group of people who come, it will be troublesome. As soon as the shopkeeper stepped into the door, he said anxiously to Ling Yu and the others.
"Little second brother, thank you so much just now, let's leave now, and we won't cause you trouble. Ling Yu saw that the shopkeeper was sincere, and she was very grateful in her heart. He knew that if the shopkeeper didn't help them hide it, this vicious fight would be inevitable.
"Don't say that, young man, the cultivators of the Cold Moon Pavilion don't have a good thing, it's just that I don't know how to cultivate, so I don't dare to offend them. And although I don't have other skills, I still have the ability to recognize people, and I know by looking at your face that you are not all the way to them. The shopkeeper took a breath, as if he had thought of something, and then said: "There is a secret passage in our store, which can lead directly to the outside of the town, which was specially built to prevent bandits, and since the restaurant opened, only me and our shopkeeper know where it is, so I will take you there." ”
Ling Yu and the two glanced at each other, revealing joy. They knew that there were a lot of Cold Moon Pavilion cultivators outside, and if they went out at this time, they would definitely be detected, and if they got into a fight, there would be more Cold Moon Pavilion cultivators coming to support, and then their situation would be very dangerous.
"Little Second Brother, thank you very much!" Ling Yu nodded, and the two of them simply disguised themselves, and then followed the shopkeeper towards the downstairs.
The shopkeeper led the two to the kitchen, and said to the chef and the people in the kitchen: "The shopkeeper asked me to bring someone here to check the ingredients, you go out first." "The second shopkeeper is an old guy in the restaurant, and he has been following the boss since the beginning of the restaurant's preparation. Therefore, he is also regarded as a confidant by the boss, otherwise it is impossible to know about the secret passage. And he is a kind person, the chef in the restaurant and the guys in the hall respect him very much, and when they heard that he was going to check the ingredients, everyone did not suspect it, and walked out of the kitchen one after another.
Seeing that everyone had already left, the shopkeeper hurried to an empty tank against the wall. Ling Yu and Xiao Hei helped him remove the empty cylinder, only to see the shopkeeper uncover the wooden board under the empty cylinder, revealing a black hole underneath. The shopkeeper took a candlestick on the table, lit it gently, and then said to Ling Yu and the others, "You follow me, I'll take you out." After speaking, the shopkeeper took the lead in jumping into the hole, followed by Ling Yu and Xiao Hei.
After the three of them jumped into the secret passage, Ling Yu easily moved the empty cylinder to the wooden plank, and then dragged the wooden plank to seal the secret passage. Because after they left, if someone from the Cold Moon Pavilion came to search, if the matter was exposed, the shopkeeper would be in danger.
Xiao Hei picked up a wooden stick on the ground, then took out a few rags from the Realm Spirit Ring and wrapped them around the wooden sticks, and then took out pine oil from his arms and poured them on the wooden sticks wrapped in the strips, lit them with fire, and handed them to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper held a torch and led the two of them to the depths of the secret passage.
The inside of the secret passage was dry, and the ground was hard and solid, and it was clear that a lot of effort had taken place at the beginning. The passage is about one person high, and two people can pass side by side, which is not very wide, but it is enough as an escape path.
The three of them walked for about half an hour, and a cold wind blew in their faces, and Ling Yu knew that they were almost at the exit. He held his breath, spread his senses, and spilled towards the mouth of the cave. Although the shopkeeper said that this secret passage was not known to outsiders, for the sake of insurance, Ling Yu still explored it carefully. It's not that I don't believe in the shopkeeper, it's just that it's always wrong to be cautious in everything. In case the cultivators of the Cold Moon Pavilion found out about the secret passage from other channels and laid an ambush at the entrance of the secret passage, then the three of them would be in danger.
After a while, Ling Yu nodded, signaling that the two were not in danger, and the shopkeeper and Xiao Hei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them left the secret passage and found that the exit of the secret passage was in a barren mountain, and the entrance to the cave was also covered by perennial weeds, and it was almost impossible to see that there was a hole here. Obviously, no one has used this secret passage since the restaurant opened.
"Little second brother, thank you for sending us out, but when you go back, you can only leave through the main entrance. "Ling Yu had already sealed the entrance of the secret passage when he left, and if the shopkeeper returned the same way, it would be easy to expose the matter of the secret passage.
"Shaoxia, you're welcome, I'm just an ordinary person, and there is only so much I can help you. The shopkeeper shook his head and said.
"Little second brother, you take this, go back and open a tavern by yourself, or do some small business. Ling Yu said, took out a gold ingot from his bosom, and handed it to the shopkeeper.
Twenty taels of gold ingots, that's two hundred taels of snowflake silver, enough to do a lot in this low-cost town.
