Chapter 17 Someone in a white robe entered the inn with a knife
The inn is found casually in Xunyang City, Xunyang City is in the north of the barbaric and remote Beihai, although the climate is still reluctant, but after all, there is nothing to be proud of, it can be said that there is no characteristic of the small city, foreign business travel is naturally very few, so there are not many inns in the city, most of them can only meet one in the downtown streets, and it is relatively cold.

The night is very bright, the streets and alleys outside are very lively, Li Molan walked towards the inn that he had just found, there should have been a lot of stalls and vendors on both sides of the street, but because the rain during the day wet the ground, the bluestone road was still not dry, so it seemed to be reluctant to rest at home, and did not come out to make money, the road was more spacious than the daytime, only some talented and beautiful people and ordinary passers-by.
The drunkards in the restaurant, the tea guests who talk and laugh in the tea shop, the warblers and Yanyan in the green building, and the ordinary people who are running around for a living, this is the scene in Xunyang City, different from those who are dressed in fine clothes and jade food, and the cultivators who are high up, this is the most real and Li Molan has seen the mortal scenery for three and a half years.
Entering the inn, there was no one inside, only a seemingly honest middle-aged uncle, the boss was alone at the counter in a daze, and even Xiao Er seemed to have gone to sleep and rest.
Li Molan walked into the inn alone, and woke up the innkeeper who was wandering in the world, and the boss looked at the young man who was soaked and not completely dried due to the rain during the day, and was a little puzzled. It stands to reason that such a child will never come to the inn to live alone, and should always be accompanied by his parents, but the boss looked left and right for a long time, and did not see anyone coming in with him, so he asked uncertainly: "Child...... Staying in a hotel?"
"A room. Li Molan said calmly.
Where does the old man go to hang out for a night is no longer in the consideration of the youth, anyway, this old man doesn't need to worry about anything, just like the old sword fairy is also very relieved about his apprentice, and he doesn't feel at all that there is anything wrong with letting a child who is less than ten years old walk around in Xunyang City, although most of the children of poor families are precocious, and they can do a lot of things at a young age, but no one can be as mature and calm as Li Molan for children under the age of ten, not everyone is born to know it.
The price of staying for one night is one or two silver, and Li Molan still has a lot of money, but he hasn't eaten dinner yet, so he sat down very casually next to a few tables and chairs on the first floor, and ordered some wine and meat very casually.
In other words, it is rare for such children under the age of ten to come to the inn alone, drinking alone in the empty hall.
The innkeeper looked curiously at the young man who was filled with the vicissitudes of time, and looked at the dirty clothes on the young man's body, which were obviously decorated with mud, and did not ask much, and went to the kitchen to start preparing wine and food.
Li Molan looked at the fireworks outside the inn alone, full of emotion and silent like a centenarian.
After a while, the wine was already presented, after all, the wine was ready-made, and the cooked beef had to be scalded again. Li Molan did not prepare to drink drunk as he did during the day, but poured the rice wine from the altar into the bowl, and then took small sips, tasting the taste of this good wine that was praised by the old man Li Bu as the second best wine in the world after Huaihua wine, which was naturally no different from the taste drunk in the small wine shop in the north of the city during the day, but the action was no longer as heroic as death.
In the spring rain during the day, the young man who borrowed wine to drown his sorrows and sorrows was really drunk, don't look at his calm expression, at that time his heart had already turned over the river and the sea, stumbling in the streets and alleys of Xunyang City, saying that he was going to pick up books, but he didn't know the location of the bookstore, so he ran to the wrong place a lot, drunk and drunk, and also made a lot of jokes, and when the boy fell into a puddle and completely sobered up, the embarrassment and embarrassment were really indescribable.
Therefore, if the amount of alcohol is not good, it is better to drink in small sips and grasp it in moderation.
The evening breeze blew from outside the inn, and it was still damp, which was exceptionally refreshing, but Li Molan's body was wet and naturally uncomfortable, and after a while, another guest came to the inn.
It was a young man in a white robe, with a handsome face, a faint smile, and most importantly, an amiable feeling.
Li Molan was very funny to put her head on the edge of the small bowl, licking the wine on the edge of the bowl with her tongue little by little, when she suddenly felt someone coming in, and suddenly retracted her head like lightning, and then raised her head very calmly, as if she had just done nothing.
The young man in the white robe also looked at the unmanned counter in surprise as if he was unaware, and then turned his head to look at the young man who was tasting wine alone, pretending to be surprised.
Li Molan's attention was immediately attracted by this white-robed young man, not because of how handsome he looked or how familiar this person was that he had seen before, but because this white-robed young man was carrying an iron knife behind him.
Very few Taoist priests wearing robes traveled with weapons, with the exception of those who practiced the Tao.
Li Molan narrowed her eyes and looked carefully at the iron knife with the handle exposed, but it didn't seem to be any different from the ordinary iron knives sold in those blacksmith shops, probably because the young man was still relatively lonely and unheard, so he couldn't see any way, after all, when he saw the Dragon Elephant Sword for the first time, he only thought it was an ordinary broken sword, who knew that it was the famous Beihai Dragon Elephant?
"Little brother. The young man in the white robe with the knife stepped forward and asked very politely, "I want to stay in the guest house, but the shopkeeper ...... Where did it go?"
"Working in the kitchen. Li Molan was surprised by this person's name for herself, three and a half years of walking Hongchen naturally met a lot of people, but basically what they shouted when they met was not "child", "child", "little doll" and other titles, that is, "little cub", "little king eight lambs" and "little ghost" Such malicious titles, no one will be called "little brother", such a polite person is indeed rare, Li Molan thought about it, probably this person in front of him is counted as one, and the white-clothed man with a maid named Ram Yuliu a year ago is counted as one.
"I see. The white-robed young man with the knife smiled slightly, glanced at the empty surroundings, and then asked, "Little brother, do you mind if I sit at the same table with you?"
Li Molan nodded and said, "Yes." ”
After the white-robed young man sat down, he said with a smile: "He Xingge is traveling in all directions of the North Sea. ”
Li Molan said softly: "My name is Li Molan. ”
He Xingge smiled: "Good name." ”
"In the past, the old man of the family just asked a teacher for a name, and it was not a big deal. Li Molan said flatly.
In fact, on the surface, this is clearly a rather strange scene, two men with a lot of age difference sitting together and communicating plainly, no matter which one behaves very plainly, the younger party is neither humble nor arrogant, and the older party does not have any sense of superiority at the age level, and talks like two peers.
"What about you? You're a good name. Li Molan tried to continue the conversation, so as not to end up with the embarrassment of no one talking.
"My name was pieced together by my elder brother who had taken out of the book, and I liked it so much that I used it. He Xingge said with some reminiscence in his eyes: " I have been practicing in the mountains since I was a child, without a father or mother, I was picked up by my senior brother, who was not very old at the time, and picked up a vegetable basket in the river, I was in it, and then the senior brother took me to the mountain, and let me practice with the master, and the name I only know what my surname is, that's all, when I took the name, the senior brother rummaged through the poetry and scriptures in the pavilion, and finally gave me such a name, I think it sounds very good, so I used it. ”
If you look closely, you can see that there is indeed a jade pendant engraved with the word "He" around his neck.
Li Molan was slightly stunned, first glanced at the handle of the knife exposed behind the other party, vaguely understood what the other party was practicing, and then secretly thought that the other party was also an orphan with no father and no mother like herself, and was very similar to being picked up and raised, and immediately felt a little empathy, and then gave birth to some good feelings, but the other party was obviously more lucky than himself, at least his house is a mountain, and a mountain will never disappear out of thin air like Huangni Village, right?
The young man looked at the young man, probably because he had a good impression, so he said, "Let's have a drink together in a moment?" When the shopkeeper comes out of the kitchen, I will ask him for a bowl." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the jar of rice wine on the table.
He Xingge smiled and nodded, and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
Li Molan thought for a moment and asked, "Are you a cultivator?"
He Xingge showed a look of surprise: "That's true, little brother, you really have excellent eyesight." ”
Li Molan secretly thought that no one has this kind of eyesight in Kapok Town, ordinary rangers who travel all over the world are all dusty servants, how can you have such an extraordinary bearing, but I guess that the other party should not be from the Qingcheng faction, and I am not sure, in case this person claims to be traveling in all directions, but in fact, he is from the Qingcheng faction, it is not good, so he asked with a confirmed tone: "You are not from the Qingcheng faction, right?"
He Xingge said: "I traveled in Beihai, just curious about what the north of Beihai looks like, I came here for a visit, the first time I came to Xunyang, and I am indeed not a person from the Qingcheng faction. ”
Li Molan, who finally put her mind at ease, asked, "Then what realm of cultivators are you?"
He Xingge was stunned, secretly thinking that this kind of thing can be said to be a secret for every cultivator, after all, the personal realm is a personal privacy, not something that can be said casually, where did he think that this young man would ask so bluntly now? For a while, I couldn't understand what this young man meant.
Then he suddenly thought that the young man named Li Molan in front of him was just an ordinary person, not a cultivator, so naturally he was only curious about this kind of immortal figure and had no understanding, and it seemed normal to be like this, so he said: "My realm is relatively high. ”
Relatively high, this is a kind of self-humble expression, which means that your own realm is high, but you don't want to appear too proud, and deliberately added the word comparison. Li Molan also understood, and put it another way: "You just say how you compare to the cultivators of the Enlightenment Realm, I'm just curious." ”
"Enlightenment realm, the little brother does know a lot, although this cultivation realm is not a big secret, it's just very hidden for ordinary people. He Xingge said gently: "My realm is higher than the realm of enlightenment. ”
Li Molan nodded thoughtfully.
Cultivation realm, enlightenment realm, three realms, dragon eye realm, netherworld realm, and then there is the legendary Wangxian realm, and there has only been a Yubei immortal born in Beihai in the Dao realm for ten thousand years to reach this realm, including the sect masters of the three major cultivation sects.
And looking at the immortal realm upwards, that is the immortal immortal, which is also the so-called limit of cultivation.
It's higher than the realm of enlightenment? That's the three realms?
Eighty percent of the cultivators in the world have stopped at the realm of enlightenment all their lives.
Therefore, if it is the three realms, it is really powerful, and it is already close to the great realm of the first grade in the martial arts, that is, the peak of the peak.
Li Molan thought secretly.
