Chapter 12: The Tribulation of Fate

On the table were golden and crispy roast chicken, jade sultry five-dish painted soup, and all kinds of soft and glutinous desserts, Qi Ming's throat moved slightly and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then a touch of distress appeared in his eyes, and he looked at Old Man Ling and asked:

"Old man Ling, do you have any money? ”

"Nope. ”

"What!"

Qi Ming was stunned when he heard this, and he exclaimed in surprise with the well on the side.

Old Man Ling raised his eyes and whispered, "Then do you eat or not?" ”

Qi Ming looked at Old Man Ling's raw rice that had been cooked and cooked, what do you like, his face was speechless, he looked at the food on the table distressedly, and he didn't say anything more and picked up the chopsticks to eat.

After Qi Ming started, Jing Daochuan couldn't stop second, completely ignoring the image and stuffing it into his mouth frantically.

Such a scene was seen by the diners on the first floor, and everyone was shocked to lose their big teeth.

I thought to myself, in the end, this is the power of the big family, and they are so domineering when they eat.

Soon, a table of food was eaten clean by the three of them.

"Oh~"

"It's so full! comfortable~"

Qi Ming was lying on the chair, pulling the backrest with one hand, patting the bulging belly with the other, and his eyes showed comfort and a very comfortable whisper.

"Hold you on. ”

Old Man Ling said angrily.

The attention attracted by Qi Ming and Jing Daochuan's eating appearance just now made him embarrassed for a moment, and he longed to have a crack in the ground to get into.

"Little Er, prepare another pot of good wine. ”

As he was eating, a shout that was somewhat familiar to him interrupted his comfort.

Hearing the sound, he looked at the location of the staircase on the inside of the first floor, where the sound came from.

"People from the Tianshan faction. ”

"Well, I saw them go up to eat and drink before, and I think it's time to leave now. ”

Before anyone could come down, Qi Ming heard the conversation at the next table.

The Tianshan Sect, since Old Man Ling and Jing Daochuan began to talk about the cultivation of the Dao for him, the Tianshan Sect was the first Immortal Cultivation Sect he knew.

The Tianshan Sect is one of the best immortal cultivation sects in Tianshan City and even in the Tianshan County, and even the city lord of Tianshan City has to be respectful in front of the Tianshan Sect.

Qi Ming was very curious about such a big sect as the Tianshan Sect, thinking about what kind of majestic people from the Tianshan Sect would be on the second floor, and at the same time wondering how that voice could have a familiar feeling, he didn't know anyone from the Tianshan Sect.

Under Qi Ming's gaze, soon a gray and white high boot with black laces walked down the stairs, and as he walked down, a cyan robe appeared, and a sword scabbard with jade trim and delicate patterns appeared to hide the edge.

Qi Ming was even more curious about this person's identity, judging from the delicate scabbard alone, this was definitely not an ordinary person.

Soon, Qi Ming's brows furrowed, and a touch of coldness appeared in his eyes.

As far as the eye could see, the person from the Tianshan Sect in the cyan robe holding the sword looked like he was twelve or thirteen years old, with dark skin and a scar on the bridge of his nose.

The man also noticed a thorn and turned his head to look.

"Qi Ming. ”

The swarthy young man's face suddenly fell, and he stared at Qi Ming and the old man Jing Daochuan and Ling on the side with deep resentment.

"Wang Shuo. ”

Qi Ming replied in a low voice, his face extremely unkind.

I haven't seen the insult of that year for six years, but Qi Ming hasn't forgotten it.

"Senior brother, what's wrong?"

At this moment, a group of people came down the stairs, and Qi Ming saw that seven or eight of them were wearing the same cyan robes as Wang Shuo, and when he saw Wang Shuo asking like this, he looked at his gaze.

Qi Ming looked at them, very uncomfortable in his heart.

They had a condescending gaze with a condescending attitude.

At this time, Wang Shuo spoke, "It's okay, it's just an acquaintance I haven't seen for a long time." ”

Wang Shuo said, the two words of the acquaintance were extremely clear, Qi Ming's heart trembled when he heard it, and at the same time, he also noticed that Wang Shuo's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke, obviously he was trying his best to hide his emotions.

"Wang Shuo, what the hell has you been through, how did you become so sophisticated. ”

Seeing Wang Shuo like this, Qi Ming couldn't help but think in his heart.

Wang Shuo's actions also attracted the attention of Jing Daochuan and Old Man Ling, and with the experience of the two of them, they could see more deeply and thoroughly than Qi Ming.

The two of them were also surprised by Wang Shuo like this, and they couldn't help but look at each other as if they were communicating something.

"Since it's an acquaintance, I just know each other. ”

When one of Wang Shuo's senior brothers heard the acquaintance, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards Qi Ming as he spoke.

"I didn't expect that Senior Brother Wang Shuo still knew such nobles as Daoyou, and Liu Jing was sent to Liu Jing in the Lower Tianshan Mountain, since they are all friends who know each other, they may be able to take care of each other in the future. ”

Liu Jing looked at the image of a noble son like Qi Ming, and the two old men beside him were immortal bones, thinking that this young man must be extraordinary and wanted to make friends with him.

Looking at the flattering person in front of him, Qi Ming was disdainful, but he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and after a low glance at Wang Shuo, who was walking over with wine, he responded euphemistically:

The noble man in the mouth of the Taoist friend is serious, and Qi Ming does not dare to take it. ”

"Senior Brother Liu is really serious, this Qi Ming is just an idler I know in Axe Village, Qingniu Township, where is a nobleman. ”

At this time, Wang Shuo rushed to explain with a smile on his face.

As he spoke, he looked at Qi Ming in amazement,

"Qi Ming, how did you get this dress today, I see that this fabric is made of fine silk, as well as Dr. Jing and your grandfather.

By the way, what is the important thing for you to come to Tianshan City in such a good dress, I am familiar with this Tianshan City, we are all from the same place, don't be polite, I will try to help if I can. ”

Qi Ming looked at Wang Shuo's smile, his heart trembled, and he wanted to reprimand him angrily in his heart, but he didn't know how to say anything when he looked at that smiling face. The hidden knife in the smile is no more suitable for Wang Shuo at the moment.

Compared with Wang Shuo, who was arrogant and complacent before, Qi Ming felt a palpitation for the first time when he hid the knife with a smile on his face in front of him, and Wang Shuo, who was in the city.

At this moment, after listening to Wang Shuo's words, Liu Jing frowned and looked at the clean plate on the table that could be used as a mirror, and couldn't help believing his words, and immediately turned disgusted and disgusted with Qi Ming's face:

"Axe Village, Qingniu Township, this dress is worth a hundred taels of silver, how can a person in a rural village afford it, it can't be stolen." ”

"The man is actually from the village, I can't tell it, but there is indeed something wrong with the origin of the clothes. ”

"I remember it was the baby in the beard shop, and it couldn't have been stolen. ”

The people of the Tianshan faction who were all in the same color robe were very eye-catching, and at this moment, all the diners on the first floor were looking at Qi Ming's side, and when Liu Jing's words fell, many people were guessing and whispering.

Qi Ming, who was hot in his heart, saw that Liu Jing's attitude turned an 800-degree turn, and then listened to the bad whispers of the people around him, his face sank, and he clenched his fists and wanted to punch him in the face, but after thinking about it, he still endured it.

The other party is a person from the Tianshan faction, and he swept the other party's face in front of everyone, and provoked the other party's Qi Ming for fear that it would cause trouble.

It's a trivial matter to involve him, and it will be worth the loss if it involves two grandfathers.

Qi Ming was speechless, and let Liu Jing speak.

Liu Jing was silent when he saw Qi Ming, and then he saw that everyone was paying attention to this place, so he didn't say anything more, after all, he still had to maintain his demeanor in front of outsiders.

"Let's go, I'm afraid Uncle Shi will have to wait in a hurry. ”

After that, he gave Qi Ming and the old man Jingdao Chuanling a look of disdain, and took the lead in walking outside the hall.

Wang Shuo saw that nothing happened to the two of them, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and after squinting at Qi Ming in a low light, he followed and walked outside the hall.

After the group of people from the Tianshan Sect left, Old Man Ling looked at Qi Ming, who had a gloomy and unhappy face, and smiled very happily:

"Xiao Qi, if you do the right thing, the husband must be able to bend and stretch, you will only be able to speak with the power of your tongue, and you will not be able to achieve great things regardless of the consequences. ”

Jing Daochuan also echoed and said with a smile:

"It seems that Xiao Qi has really grown up, and we can rest assured when we go outside to practice.

Qi Ming looked up at the two of them, and a smile appeared on his gloomy face:

"Really, I thought you would think I was cowardly. ”

"Hehe~, how is it possible, my stupid little seven. Jing Daochuan said with a smile.

The night in Tianshan City was very lively, and it lasted until late, probably in the middle of the night when he was lying in bed, listening to the hustle and bustle outside gradually becoming silent, the small eyes that had been closed slowly opened, looking at the silver moon hanging high in the night sky through the window in front of the bed, and Wang Shuo's figure couldn't help but float in his mind.

"Xiao Qi, what do you want to sleep again?"

At this time, Jing Daochuan, who was lying on the bed next to the room, interrupted Qi Ming's contemplation.

Qi Ming responded: "It's nothing. ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Jing Daochuan, remembered the distant road of Wendaoyuan that he said before, and asked, "Grandpa, how will we go tomorrow, won't it be by walking again." ”

"Hehe, don't think about it, you'll know tomorrow. Jing Daochuan said with a smile.

"Uh-huh. ”

There was silence outside the window, and soon, Qi Ming fell asleep.

At this time, Jing Daochuan on the bed next to him opened his eyes, looked at the dim figure of Wang Shuo floating in his mind above his head, pondered for a moment and spoke:

"Old man Ling, that Wang Shuo today, I think you can also see it, the general trend of heaven and earth on his body is terrifying, he must have gained some great opportunity. And his heart and city are still so calm and deep. ”

Jing Daochuan is also a cultivator, although his cultivation is not very high, but he still sees the dragon and tiger qi and the general trend of heaven and earth that are dormant in Wang Shuo's body.

As soon as the words fell, Old Man Ling's dull voice with vicissitudes of life came: "I can see it, what's wrong?"

"I'm wondering if to help Xiao Qi solve it, I'm afraid that Xiao Qi will be planted in his hands in the future. ”

Old Man Ling paused, and after a moment, responded.

"No need, this may be Xiao Qi's catastrophe, and the catastrophe in life can't be avoided. We just need to believe in Xiao Qi!"

"Well, okay then. ”

Jing Daochuan remembered Old Man Ling's past, and soon chose to believe in him and Xiao Qi.
