Chapter 252: The Road Meets the Black Shop
"Sect Master, if I'm not mistaken, fifty miles ahead, there is a post station."
"We can make supplies there for the time being, or we can buy some horses from the inn."
"Disciples, martial arts cultivators, can't walk in the sky."
"It's a long way to Nanjun, and if we don't have enough foot strength, I'm afraid we will spend most of our time on the road!" Zhang Xiaoxiao suggested to Qin Ye.
Qin Ye has also been thinking about this matter in the past few days, and Zhang Xiaoxiao has proposed a solution now, so naturally he will not object.
He said to Zhang Xiaoxiao again: "Xiaoxiao, when you go out, you don't call me sect master anymore." ”
"Proper concealment of identity is a necessary precaution for walking the rivers and lakes."
"Even with my current cultivation, I don't dare to say that I can deal with the real masters in the world!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Okay, the subordinates should listen to the sect master...... Everything is told! ”
"But I don't call you the sect master, what do you call instead? Brother Qin? ”
Qin Ye really didn't think about this problem, and couldn't help but be embarrassed: "I'm ...... younger than you."
Zhang Xiaoxiao said: "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and the master is the teacher." I'll respect you as Senior Brother Qin! ”
Qin Ye thought about it, but he couldn't think of a better title, so he agreed.
Half a day later, the group came to the post station that Zhang Xiaoxiao said before.
When a few teenagers saw the crowd and thought that they could finally have a good rest, they immediately rushed over.
Qin Ye and Zhang Xiaoxiao followed behind, both smiling helplessly.
Suddenly, Qin Ye frowned, and said in a low voice: "There is a smell of blood in the wind, blowing from the direction of the post station!" ”
When Zhang Xiaoxiao heard this, her face immediately turned white, and she was ready to show her skills and stop them before she rushed to the disciples.
But Qin Ye's big arm crossed and stopped her.
"Since it's to take them out to explore the rivers and lakes, then this level will be passed by themselves!"
"I just used my divine sense to investigate, and the highest cultivation in it is only a sixth-order martial artist, so there is not much danger."
When Zhang Xiaoxiao heard this, she understood Qin Ye's intentions, although she was still a little uneasy, but how could she not obey the sect master's decision.
Then, taking advantage of the disciples' inattention, the two quietly performed their skills and disappeared behind them.
Tang Jingjing and the others entered the post station, turned their heads to look at Qin Ye and the others, but saw that the wind and sand were misty, and there was no trace of the two.
The disciples suddenly felt strange, and looked back, but they couldn't find the two masters.
In desperation, they discussed the advanced post station, and waited for the two masters to come back while supplying them.
As the six of them walked inside, they looked left and right, observing the environment in the inn.
A person who looked like a shopkeeper came out and shouted, "Yo, are you going to live in the hotel or have you to eat?" ”
Tang Jingjing walked in front and said with a big grin: "Prepare a few upper rooms for us, and prepare a table of wine and food, and I will live here with you today!" ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Okay, little guest officers, follow me inside!" ”
When everyone came to the inn, they saw that the furnishings inside were no different from ordinary inns, and they all set up a few tables and a few stools in the hall on the first floor for people to eat.
The second floor is a row of rooms that serve as a resting place for guests.
There weren't many guys in the inn, just two. In addition to the shopkeeper, there is also an accountkeeper, presumably the shopkeeper of the inn.
Under the hospitality of the shopkeeper, everyone came to a long table in the middle and sat down.
"A few little guest officers, you wait a while, I'll go and deliver the wine and food!" The shopkeeper shouted.
Tang Jingjing was a little dissatisfied with the other party's title, and said, "Can you remove the word 'small'?" ”
The shopkeeper immediately nodded and smiled: "I'm sorry, it's a small mistake!" A few guest officers waited, and I went to the back kitchen to deliver the wine and food! ”
Everyone sat around a table and looked curiously at the environment in the inn.
The shopkeeper had been settling accounts there since everyone had entered the door, and he didn't even look at them, which looked a little strange.
Other than that, only the six of them ate here in the entire inn, and there were no other guests in sight.
Then, the tables and chairs were a little messy, and some of them were still stained with water, as if they had just been wiped.
Qi Xiaobai came to Tang Jingjing and sat down, and whispered in her ear: "Senior sister, I feel strange here!" ”
"It seems that there was a fight here shortly before we came. And I saw blood, I should have just wiped it off! ”
Tang Jingjing nodded slightly, obviously she also had insight into these details.
After a while, the shopkeeper came up with wine and food.
He put the wine and food on the table, invited everyone to drink, and chatted on the side: "A few guest officials are from the imperial city?" ”
"Could it be a disciple of a great sect?"
"We are not far from the Imperial City, and people who usually go to Nanjun will rest here!"
Yin Buffalo grabbed the chicken leg and sent it to his mouth, and said vaguely: "Our sect is not famous in the imperial city, and this trip is to go to Nanjun!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt someone kick him under the table and let out a cry of pain.
And it was Tang Jingjing who kicked him, who was glaring at him angrily at this time.
Yin Buffalo realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately kept silent.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper chuckled twice on the side.
Then, he said casually: "Several guest officers turned out to be cultivators, but the small ones have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, so they neglected a few!" ”
"This is a long way to Nanjun, is there only a few young heroes walking alone? The sect is not escorted by elders? ”
When Tang Jingjing heard his words, she became more and more alert, thought about it, and replied: "We went down the mountain with our master, and our master has the ability to reach the heavens and cultivate to the world!" ”
"It's just that before a few masters came to the post station just now, they had something to do temporarily, so they left for a while."
"By the way, you can also prepare some food and drinks for them, and they will be there later!"
Tang Jingjing's words seemed to frighten the shopkeeper, and he hurriedly followed what she said and went to the back kitchen to prepare wine and food.
Everyone looked at Tang Jingjing, implying that she was a senior sister, and she was up to her to make decisions.
She glanced at the wine and food on the table, and whispered to everyone: "Eat, let's leave here after eating!" ”
"There should be no problem with these drinks and dishes, the buffalo has eaten it for so long just now, if it was poisonous, it should have been poisoned a long time ago!"
When Yin Buffalo heard this, he was startled, but he didn't dare to touch the wine and food on the table anymore.
Half an hour later, everyone was full of wine and food, and Yin Buffalo hiccuped.
At this time, the shopkeeper sent a pot of tea and poured them full, saying that this was the best tea from the inn, and invited them to taste it.
Everyone picked up the teacup and took a sip on it, but only they knew whether they drank it or not.
After another half an hour, the shopkeeper said to them in a strange manner: "Why hasn't the master you said come yet?" ”
"It can't be lost, right?"
"Or is there no such thing as a master at all?"
Although Tang Jingjing was a little flustered in her heart, anxious why the two masters hadn't come yet, but after listening to the shopkeeper's difficult words, she had to force her composure and said, "Master may have something to do, and he will come over after a little more delay." ”
"Let's go out and look for them, and if we find it, we will come to your hotel and prepare the room for us!"
After speaking, Tang Jingjing motioned for everyone to leave here.
But at this moment, the shopkeeper who had not spoken raised his head, stared at Tang Jingjing with a pair of eagle eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Little girl, the old man has lived for more than a hundred years, what kind of person has not seen it?" ”
"How can you deceive your old eyes with that little lie?"
"If you want to escape here under the false banner of Master and not leave some money to buy your life, how can you go?"
Tang Jingjing realized that the situation was not good, and immediately lifted the table and reminded the others loudly: "Everyone prepare to fight!" This inn is a black shop! ”
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yin Buffalo, Chen Cheng and Li Xin beside her fall down, lying unconscious on the ground.
Only Qi Xiaobai and Li Yang remained sober.
"There's a drug in that cup of tea?!" Tang Jingjing scolded angrily.
The shopkeeper sneered three times and said, "Just by virtue of your Taoism, do you still want to go to Nanjun from here?" ”
"I'm afraid I don't even know how I died!"
"But the three of you are smarter than the three boys on the ground, and you didn't drink that ecstasy tea!"
"Okay, now do you want the old man to do it, or do you just tie up your hands and ...... yourself"
Among the three, Qi Xiaobai reacted the fastest, and before the man finished speaking, he suddenly jumped out in one step, preemptively struck, and slashed at the shopkeeper's neck.
The sudden attack made the shopkeeper also startled, and he hurriedly blocked the big knife with the abacus in his hand.
At the same time, he struck out a palm, shaking Qi Xiaobai three meters away, and the tables and chairs behind him also knocked over to the ground.
The shopkeeper said coldly: "These overturned tables and chairs are on your heads, and if you don't have 100,000 high-grade spirit stones, don't want to exchange them for your little life!" ”
Qi Xiaobai basically judged the depth of the opponent through the fight just now.
"He's a sixth-order martial artist, senior sister and senior brother be careful!"
Tang Jingjing and Li Yang glanced at each other, knowing that this battle was unavoidable, one holding a sword and the other holding a gun, and attacked the shopkeeper one after another.
Tang Jingjing and Li Yang are both fifth-order martial artists, and they have obvious disadvantages compared to the shopkeeper in terms of cultivation, and their combat experience is not as good as these executioners who lick blood at the edge of the knife, so as soon as they fought, the two fell into disadvantage.
Qi Xiaobai was about to go up to help, but the shopkeeper suddenly popped out of his side, blocking his way.
Qi Xiaobai didn't say a word, and slashed diagonally.
The shopkeeper used a short blade, and he was already prepared, but he just blocked Qi Xiaobai's attack like a thousand catties, and then used the short blade to drill into Qi Xiaobai's heart.
Qi Xiaobai secretly screamed in his heart, judging from the degree of true element condensation in the opponent's attack, the other party was the same as himself, and he was also a fifth-order martial artist.
Moreover, the opponent's combat experience is definitely not weak, and he may not be able to gain the upper hand in fighting against him.
At this time, the war situation on the other side is in crisis, and the senior sister and the senior brother obviously can't beat the shopkeeper, unless they add their own help, they may be able to fight with it.
But this is a matter of course, the shopkeeper in front of him can't be defeated, how can he rescue them?
