Chapter 101: The Drinking Incident
84_84978After coming out of Lingsong Valley and splitting into two ways with Qiao Feng and his party, Jasmine followed Zhang Lang to a small city in the Western Regions Alliance. The smell in this city is very mixed, and the smell is very unpleasant.
"Strange ......," Zhang Lang frowned and looked at an old yellowed map in his hand. They had followed this map all the way, but there was no trace of Gu Valley. "Why can't you find it?
"Could it be that this map is too old, and the location of Gu Valley has changed?" Jasmine asked with a hint of helplessness.
"No, it won't. Zhang Lang shook his head, "Before I came, I specially called my father to ask for clarification, and then I followed the map all the way." According to my father, the location of Gu Gu will not change, but it may take us a lot of time to find Gu Gu. ”
"Alas...... It's really troublesome, I thought that with the map in hand, we could find the location of Gu Valley very smoothly, but I didn't expect to find such a strange place. Jasmine looked unhappy and lifted the small stone at her feet. A few small insects of any kind that were not Dao were scurrying away from under the stones.
"Don't worry. Zhang Lang put away the map and squeezed Jasmine's hand, "Anyway, we have reached the location of Gu Valley mentioned on the map, and there should be clues in this city." Let's ask someone first. ”
"Hmm. Jasmine had no choice but to nod and follow Zhang Lang to the city.
Before the two of them could take a few steps, a figure suddenly jumped out from behind the wall. The figure jumped directly in front of Zhang Lang and grabbed Zhang Lang's collar.
"Wow, that's amazing. Young man, let me tell you, do you know that there is a spiritual light spewing out from your Heavenly Spirit Gai'er! Seeing that you have a body of horizontal training muscles and bones at a young age, you are simply a martial arts wizard once in a hundred years! If one day you are allowed to open up the second vein of Ren Du, then you will not fly to the sky. As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell, the task of prohibiting evil and punishing adultery and maintaining world peace will be entrusted to you, okay?"
“...... Huh?" Zhang Lang couldn't help but be stunned by what he said. Looking closely, Zhang Lang saw that this person was dressed like a monk. But the monk's robe on his body was extremely tattered, with a broken monk's hat, and his long hair stretched freely from the edge of the monk's hat. With a muddy face and a broken fan in his hand, it looks like he has just escaped from the scrap recycling station. But Zhang Lang, who was so close, didn't smell any peculiar smell on this person.
"Ah what?" the monk reached out and took out a book from his arms, "I have a collector's edition of the peerless cheats here, I see that the monk and I have a fate with you, so it is better to sell it to you for ten yuan!"
“...... What's that, uncle, I don't need it. Zhang Lang swallowed a mouthful of spit, looked at the book of "Rulai Divine Palm" in the monk's hand and smiled awkwardly.
"Why, don't like it?" the monk frowned and looked at the tattered copy of "The Palm of the Gods", and then took out a few more books from his arms. "Let's see if there are any of these books you like!"
"......" looked at the "Thousand Hands Divine Fist", "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending", "Jiuyang Divine Skill", "One Yang Finger" and "Dugu Nine Swords" in the hands of the monk, Zhang Lang didn't know what to say.
"I'm sorry, uncle, but we really don't need to. Jasmine saw that Zhang Lang had nothing to say by this monk, so she stepped forward to say a word for Zhang Lang.
"Oh, you little girl doll is so ignorant!" muttered the monk with some dissatisfaction. "Aren't you looking for this? Why don't you need it? Can you find such a good thing with your pointed ears except for me, monk?"
As soon as the monk said this, Jasmine and Zhang Lang were shocked at the same time. How did this crazy-looking monk know that Jasmine's ears were pointy?
"Uncle, what we are looking for is really here?" Zhang Lang frowned and looked at the few books in the monk's hand.
"Yes, but ......," the monk chuckled suddenly. "I forgot which one I was on, so I ......"
“...... Well, I'm going to have it all. Zhang Lang shook his head helplessly and took out his amount card.
"No, no, no, I don't have a card, monk. The monk shook his head suddenly.
"I don't want cash, you go and buy me a dog's leg, by ......the way," the monk said, and took out a wine gourd out of nowhere, "By the way, go to the wine recipe next to the dog meat shop and fill my gourd." ”
"Okay. Zhang Lang nodded, took the books with one hand, and took the wine gourd with the other.
"Go, I'll be waiting for you in the northwest corner of the city. The monk wiped his head and walked away.
Looking at the back of this strange monk, Zhang Lang felt as if he had been led into a strange trap. How could it be so coincidental that when he and Jasmine just started to worry about finding clues, someone jumped out and told them the clues.
But doubts are doubts, and it is much more convenient to have clues at the moment than to ponder them by yourself, but you just need to be more careful.
"Let's go. Jasmine pulled Zhang Lang, who was still in a daze.
"Hmm. Zhang Lang nodded, and then followed Jasmine to the dog meat shop that the monk said.
Walking on the road, the two couldn't wait to start flipping through the tattered so-called "martial arts cheats". But there was nothing in these books except a few fleas. There are only some strange pictures that people can't understand.
"I was deceived...... "I was fooled" and closed the "Palm of the Gods" in his hand speechlessly, and Zhang Lang smiled bitterly.
"Not necessarily. Jasmine pondered for a moment and said, "Since this monk can see through my disguise at a glance, it is certainly not a simple character. He asked us to help him get a drink, maybe there was something else to it. We did what he said and saw what happened in the end. ”
"Hmm...... All right. Zhang Lang nodded. "We don't have any clues anyway. ”
All the way to the dog meat shop, the two of them came to the dog meat shop, bought a whole dog leg, and then walked straight to the liquor store not too far from the dog meat shop.
"Hey, young man, do you want to buy wine?" Before approaching the liquor store, a beggar at the door of the liquor store suddenly called out to the two men.
"Yes, is there any problem?" Zhang Lang looked at the beggar curiously.
"You can really pick a place to buy it at his house!" the beggar laughed twice with a mouthful of yellow teeth. "Their wine-to-water is something that the big guys know. Haven't you heard of it?"
"Nope. Zhang Lang shook his head.
"Well, big brother, how about we have a discussion?" said the beggar, swallowing suddenly.
"What discussion?" Zhang Lang asked curiously.
"I'll take you to a place where the wine is good and the price is cheap, how about you invite me to have a drink?"
"Well...... Zhang Lang smiled slightly, "No need." ”
After speaking, Zhang Lang ignored the beggar who was still whispering to him outside the door, and walked straight into the wine shop with Jasmine. Just kidding, the monk is talking about this liquor store, if he buys the wrong one, won't the clue be broken?
"Drinking?" The guy in the store was eating melon seeds and watching the video, and when he saw Zhang Lang and them coming in, he just turned his head and glanced at it, and greeted him casually. And there was no other action.
"Yes. Looking at this guy, Zhang Lang frowned. Still, he put the gourd on the table. "Help me fill this up. ”
"This ......," the guy turned his head to look at the wine gourd, "fill it up with two hundred, pay first." ”
Two hundred, you really dare to open your mouth!" Zhang Lang frowned again, but he still decided to pour it first. Looking at this guy's virtue, it is estimated that bargaining with him is just useless.
After taking out the amount card and transferring 200 to the guy, the guy lazily took the wine gourd aside and poured it aside.
One, two, three...... After pouring it for a while, the guy suddenly felt that something was wrong, judging from the volume of this gourd, it should have been filled!
Confused, the man removed the colander from the mouth of the gourd, and stared at the light to look into the gourd. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when you look at it, it's suddenly full of question marks. The gourd was empty. I don't know where the wine I just poured has gone.
"Huh?" picked up the gourd and shook it, it was obviously empty, and there was nothing in it. A closer look at the surface of the gourd showed that it was intact, there was not a single crack, and there was no spilled alcohol on the ground. What the hell is going on?, the man wondered.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Lang subconsciously asked when he heard the guy's puzzled voice.
"It's okay, you can wait a minute. The man answered, took the gourd and ran to the back to find the boss.
"Boss!"
In the backyard, a middle-aged strong man is resting on a recliner. Hearing the guy's shouts, he impatiently took the fan off his face to the side.
"What are you doing!"
"Boss, something strange has happened. The guy ran to the recliner and nodded.
"What's weird?"
"This is it. The man held up the gourd, "I just poured wine into it, but the wine that was poured in it was inexplicably gone." ”
"Is there such a thing?" Hearing this, the boss suddenly became interested. "Take it and I'll take a look. ”
When the man heard this, he hurriedly handed over the wine gourd.
After the boss took the wine gourd, he looked inside and out, but he didn't find anything peculiar.
After pondering for a moment, the boss picked up a small jar on the small table next to the chaise longue and poured the wine he drank into the wine gourd.
"Isn't it all here?" shook the wine gourd, and the sound of liquid shaking came from the wine gourd. The boss looked dissatisfied, and gave the wine gourd to the guy to show him.
"What's going on?" looked at the liquor in the gourd, and the guy was puzzled.
"What kind of wine did you just mix in?" the boss asked, as if he had suddenly thought of something.
"Just the wine we sell!"
"Those things that are sold, those things that are mixed with wine in the water?"
“...... Ahem, what, boss, didn't you say it was just a little water in the wine?" the guy coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Oh...... Slip of the tongue!" The boss smiled awkwardly. Then he said, "Go and scoop up some of the wine we sell." ”
"Oh, good. The man answered, turned and fetched a small jar of wine for sale.
"Redeem it. The boss pointed to the wine gourd.
When the man heard this, he took the small jar and slowly slipped the liquid into the wine gourd.
In a short time, all the wine in this small jar was smoothed in.
"Huh?" the guy shook the gourd, and then handed it to the boss with a look of surprise.
"Oh, that's a good thing!" The boss took the gourd and looked inside, not to mention the small jar of wine that he had just poured in, and even the good wine he had poured in at the beginning was gone. The gourd was empty again.
"Boss, what now?" the guy couldn't decide.
"Let me think about it later......" The boss looked at the wine gourd and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he asked the man, "Who is the drinker?"
"It's two young people, a man and a woman. ”
"Does it look like an apostle?"
"Hmm...... Not like. I didn't see any weapons on them, and I didn't see any magical beasts following them. ”
"That's easy......" The boss smiled, pulled out a messenger and dialed a number. After chattering, the boss hung up the communication.
"Boss, shall we still pour him wine?" the guy asked tentatively.
"Fill him with the wine I drank!" the boss waved his hand and let the guy fill the wine.
"Why is it so slow?" Earlier, Jasmine was already a little impatient.
"It's coming, it's coming. As he spoke, the guy came out from behind.
"I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time!" the guy returned the wine gourd to Zhang Lang with a smile on his face. He had just filled a whole jar of good wine before he filled the gourd, which did not look very large.
Taking the wine gourd, Zhang Lang glanced at the smiling guy inexplicably, he didn't understand how this guy's attitude could change so quickly. Just now, he looked like he was ignoring the answers, but now he has become so enthusiastic. Could it be that he knows the owner of this wine gourd?
But doubts are doubts, Zhang Lang didn't have the leisure to ask the guy why he changed his attitude, he only cared about whether the monk could bring him some clues now.
walked out of the tavern with Jasmine, and before he took two steps, Zhang Lang found that someone was following them behind him, and there were not a few of them.
"Zhang Lang, someone is following us behind. Jasmine whispered to Zhang Lang.
"I know. Zhang Lang replied softly, "It's okay, although I don't know why this group of people follow us, but as long as they dare to come, I dare to let them go and never return." ”
All the way non-stop, Zhang Lang and Jasmine came to the northwest corner of the city
