Qingniu Town is indeed a dilapidated town, with no more than 200 households in the town, at least ninety percent of which are farmers, gray brick houses that look very shabby, and only a few shops that look slightly intact.

There are also a complete range of shops, including an inn, a restaurant, a grocery store, a blacksmith shop, a pharmacy, and even a post house.

Wu Xie and Tao Tu naturally went to the inn first, but found that there were already many people living in the inn. These people have different backgrounds and identities, and some of them know that they are either rich or expensive by looking at their appearances.

"Two guest officers want to stay in the hotel?" The second child of the inn is a very handsome young man, who is about the same age as Wu Jie, and he looks close to him with a smile, "Please leave a name for the two of you, so that if the official is sent to inspect, the shop will be easy to answer." ”

Wu Xie and the identity of the clay are nothing unseemly, so naturally they will not object.

"Wu Gongzi, Hu Gongzi, they are all Great Chu people, right?" While listening to the two of them, the shopkeeper quickly recorded them in neat small characters in the registration book, holding the notebook in one hand and writing in the other, but the handwriting was not scribbled at all, which shows that a lot of effort has been put into this regard.

"So...... Can you ask the two of you why you are here? Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, but it's better if you have a registration...... Seeking immortals? The two of you are also here to ask for immortals! That's the right place! The most famous thing in our Qingniu Town is to seek immortals! From ancient times to the present, there have always been stories of immortals......"

In the next period of time, the chatty shopkeeper gushed a lot of stories about seeking immortals, and in his mouth, it seemed that this Qingniu Town was a legendary cave blessed land, and there were people cultivating here to become immortals every three or five days, which was like wholesale.

Wu Xie didn't believe his statement, but the clay was stunned.

Just as the shopkeeper was foaming at the river, and the clay nodded again and again, a few people walked down from the inn and went out of the door with a smile.

These people naturally saw Wu Jie, Tao Tu and the shopkeeper at the counter, but almost all of them ignored them, only one who seemed to be an entourage came over, and ordered very lightly: "Little Er, our young master likes to be quiet, and the people who usually come and go are people with status and culture, don't arrange for those idle people to wait on the third floor, do you know the way?" ”

His voice was not loud, soft, but with a very natural pride. After saying this, he hurriedly chased out the door without waiting for the shopkeeper to answer, and he didn't even look at this side during the whole process.

Probably in the eyes of this kind of person who thinks he is noble, whether it is the shopkeeper or Wu Xie or the clay, it is not worth mentioning, even if you look at them a few more times, you will lose your identity.

The shopkeeper was very clever, and when he saw the clay and Wu Jie's face, he suddenly sank, and hurriedly explained: "That's the servant of the Wei family, a famous merchant in our Yanling County, and their family is usually a little arrogant because of their marriage with the county guard—but in fact, people are not bad, they are just fierce." ”

Wu Xie was noncommittal, but the clay couldn't help asking: "Is his family a big business?" How many caravans are there? Do you want to do business abroad? Does the county have a tribute from their family when they pay tribute to the imperial court every year? When the county held a village elders' meeting, how many rows did the head of their family sit in? ”

When these questions were asked, the face of the shopkeeper couldn't help but change again and again, and he persuaded with a smile: "Tao Gongzi, there is a way that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, after all, you are from the Great Chu Country, and you have a dispute with the locals in this Great Yue Country - even if you win?" Immortals don't like apprentices who are prone to arguing with others at every turn......"

"Then the immortals like them?" The clay refused to give up, and continued to ask, "Could it be that your immortals here also specialize in accepting neighbors and villagers, regardless of character and talent?" ”

"Say less." Seeing that the shopkeeper was embarrassed, Wu Xie said lightly, "We are here to seek immortals, not to be vindictive." Saving some energy to find the fairy fate is the right way, can you get the fairy fate by killing the Wei family? ”

His voice was very flat, but there was naturally a murderous aura in his words, and when the shopkeeper heard this, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and he didn't dare to talk, so he hurriedly led them to the second floor, where they lived in the two rooms farthest from the stairs.

When the two of them entered the room and settled down, the lively and talkative shopkeeper hurriedly said goodbye, as if there was a tiger chasing him behind him.

It's just that he didn't know what to do, as soon as Wu Xie closed the door, he could no longer maintain the cold and indifferent strong man-style expression on his face, and he drilled into the Heavenly Book World Realm and smiled.

"Jasmine, your method is really good!" He laughed for a long time before stopping, and said to Jasmine proudly, "Pretend to be cool properly, the effect is first-class!" ”

"Of course! This is your signature expression back then, once you show this expression, it is ready to kill the whole family or draw souls or something, at this time, everyone doesn't even dare to get angry in front of you, they just hate to turn into a piece of dust and quickly fall to the ground and can't see it......"

Listening to Jasmine's sarcastic words not so much as compliments, Wu Jie's original smug smile turned into a wry smile.

According to Jasmine, this expression is only afraid of being beaten more than terrible, and it is used to scare those who are weak, if you accidentally put on this face in front of the strong......

So I secretly decided to use less of this expression that is likely to be super underwhelming in the future!

At this time, Jasmine was still praising Shenjun endlessly, and the sincerity of her pious demeanor and words was reminiscent of a fanatic believer who had been brainwashed by a cult.

Wu Xie sighed and turned his gaze to Du Ruo, who was fighting with the puppet guard.

"How long has she been fighting Wei Shu this time?"

"It's about three hours, and it looks like I'm about to lose." Jasmine Zhilu said that Wu Xie didn't like her to talk too much about the things of the Divine Monarch in the past, and obediently changed the topic, "To be honest, whether it is the talent of martial arts or the degree of hard work, she is better than you, master." It only took more than three months to master the sword intent of the Nanhua Water Sword, and even in our sect back then, this achievement was basically qualified. ”

Wu Xie nodded, looking at Du Ruo, who also cast the Nanhua Water Sword, the sword light turned into waves layer by layer, trying his best to resist Wei Shu's attack like a flash flood, and he couldn't help but feel very sorry while admiring.

The two of them learned from the puppet Wei Shu together, but Wu Xie could only resist it for a period of time with his own martial arts, but Du Ruo learned the Nanhua Water Sword, and even comprehended the essence of swordsmanship and mastered his own "Water Sword Intent". With this talent and hard work, if she hadn't died, even if she didn't have any adventures, sooner or later she would have become a generation of grandmasters with martial arts!

It's a pity that things in the world can't be "if", and death is death. Although the current Du Ruo is strong, he is only a lonely ghost after all.

When he was studying martial arts in Changning City, he once consulted Changqingzi of the Wanshou Guan Tongming Pavilion, and learned that there was a so-called "Netherworld" in this world, and the soul of the deceased would be sucked into the Netherworld within seven days if it was not protected by a special force. Then go to reincarnation through an unknown path.

If he didn't have the protection of the Heavenly Book World Realm, no matter how great Du Ruo's ability was, he would only be helplessly pulled to the Netherworld Realm by the power of the underworld, reincarnated again, and forget everything.

While he was lamenting, he was secretly vigilant.

The road to seeking immortals will definitely not be smooth sailing, a talent like Du Ruo was killed just because he was negligent for a while, even if he has the backing of the Heavenly Book World Realm, he must be more careful, so as not to be calculated.

The ancients had clouds, the heart of harming people must not be had, the heart of preventing people is indispensable, and the road to immortals is difficult, so it is true that we should be cautious.

"Jasmine, thank you for reminding me last time." Thinking of this, he whispered to Jasmine, "Although I don't approve of your overly cruel and selfish ideas, you noticed that the boatman was secretly watching me, and immediately reminded me - that's good, thank you." ”

This sudden thank you made Jasmine stunned, and when she came back to her senses, her little face suddenly turned red, and even the slightly crooked ears on the top of her head became red. She waved her hands in a panic and said incoherently things like "no thanks" and "this is what I should do", but the whole person was already flying with unimaginable joy.

In the next few minutes, she flew around in the Heavenly Book World Realm, letting out all kinds of cheers of unknown meaning, and it could be seen that she was extremely happy.

This not only made Wu Xie feel very happy, but also made him secretly feel a little guilty, reflecting on whether he was usually too strict with Jasmine, whether he was not kind enough and gentle enough.

After all...... No matter how long she lived, she was just a little girl.

Thinking of this, he didn't disturb Jasmine's cheers and quietly left the Heavenly Book World Realm.

After returning to reality, he tidied up his clothes, then brought some money, and without waking up the clay who had fallen asleep because of the exhaustion of the journey, he came to the downstairs of the inn alone.

The downstairs of the inn is a small restaurant, and the diligent shopkeeper is wiping the table in the hall downstairs, humming a small tune while wiping, looking very lively.

"What do you call the little second brother? I was in a hurry just now, and I forgot to ask for advice, so please don't be surprised. ”

"Wu Gongzi, you are too polite! Xiao's surname is Li, you call me Xiao Li. ”

Wu Xie raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Surname Li?" Could it be called 'Li Xiaoyao'? ”

"Huh? Wu Gongzi, how do you know Lu Dao? Li Xiaoyao was taken aback and asked suspiciously, "How can the cheap name of the villain reach the ears of a person with high skills like you?" ”

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Coincidence, coincidence. I once heard a story about a shopkeeper named Li Xiaoyao who aspired to become an immortal, and later met a strange fate to practice the art of flying swords, and walked the rivers and lakes to create a career...... Seeing your luggage, I couldn't help but ask. ”

"Oh...... My dad probably heard this story too, so he gave me this name. Li Xiaoyao said with a smile, "But I don't have that much ambition, I just need to live a peaceful life for the rest of my life." ”

Wu Xie nodded, and asked again: "Is Ling Zun the owner of this inn?" Why didn't you see him? ”

"My dad went to Wu'an County to buy goods, and during this time there were a lot of guests, and some rooms that were not used much before had to be cleaned out, so he went to buy some new bedding...... We do the inn, pay attention to a 'homely', so that the guests are comfortable, is the duty of the duty. ”

The two sides were chatting when the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from outside the door, and then a figure walked in.

"Little Er, stay in the hotel." The man said coldly, "Help me take care of the horses...... By the way, ask me if anyone wants to buy a horse, I don't need it. ”

This voice was a little familiar, Wu Xie turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was the cold-faced swordsman Xie Minghuan who he saw on the road.
