After that, nearly 300 miles of waterway, there was no wind, no waves, no waves, and no breaks.

When the two of them got off the boat, Zhang Yuelu stretched her waist, and Qi Xuansu was a little disappointed - she was dressed too thickly, so thick that she couldn't see too many curves.

The waterway comes to an end, followed by a mountain road.

The mountain roads in Shuzhou can be said to be famous all over the world. The poet fairy has a cloud: "The danger is high, the difficulty of the Shu Road, and the difficulty of going to the blue sky." ”

In a broad sense, Shu Road includes roads leading to Shu in various places and roads within Shu land.

Taking Jinguanfu as the origin, from Jinguanfu to the north, from Qinzhou to Shu, there are Chencang Road, Baochuan Road, Fu Luo Road, Meridian Road, Jinniu Road, Micang Road, Lychee Road, and Yinping Road from Liangzhou to Shu. From the Jinguan Mansion to the west, there is the ancient tea horse road that connects Yongzhou to the Western Regions. To the south of Jinguanfu, there is a five-foot road from Yunzhou to Shu and on this basis, the southwest Silk Road that can lead to Bosa Prefecture is expanded. To the east of the Jinguan Mansion, there is a waterway that traces the river upstream.

The closest Shu Road to the ferry port is the Ancient Tea Horse Road, there are many caravans, you can go straight to the Jinguan Mansion, the two discussed a little, decided to go to the Jinguan Mansion from the Ancient Tea Horse Road.

What Zhang Yuelu wants is the word "slow", and there is just someone to accompany him, so it will be regarded as a tour of the mountains and rivers along the way.

……

The largest inn in the world is undoubtedly the Taiping Inn, from Yujing to Dijing, from Lingnan to Liaodong, from the Western Regions Snow Mountain to the coast of the East China Sea, there are its branches, just because the Taiping Inn is an industry under the name of Daomen.

However, the Taiping Inn is a profitable business of the Daomen, and it is different from the Taoist temples that have the function of post stations in various places, even if the disciples of the Daomen live in, it is not cheaper than half a Taiping money.

Jinguancheng naturally also has the Taiping Inn, the main building is a four-storey restaurant, the main building is followed by nearly 100 single-family courtyards, not only the largest inn in Jinguanfu, but also the largest inn in the whole Shuzhou, the inn charges a lot of money, and the people who come and go are rich businessmen and gentry.

Xie Qiuniang and King Xiao Qin were scheduled to meet at the Taiping Inn in Jinguan's Mansion.

King Xiao Qin is not the King of Qin of the imperial court, nor is he the son of King Qin, in fact, there is no King of Qin among the kings of the imperial court, "King Xiao Qin" is the name of the word brand, not his real name, from the Qingping Society.

After Xie Qiuniang left Yishan City, she was not as grinding as Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, the two had just arrived at the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and she had already come to the Jinguan Mansion.

Xie Qiuniang came to the Taiping Inn and spent ten yuan of Taiping money to book a private room on the second floor of the main building.

About an hour later, a man in Tsing Yi and a woman wearing a hat came to the lobby of the Taiping Inn, asking if there was a guest surnamed Xie, and a guy immediately led the two through the bustling lobby, to the second floor, to the second floor, because of the large number of private rooms, so there is a corridor outside each private room, and the entrance of the corridor is set up at the door, at this time the guy stopped in front of the door outside the corridor.

According to reason, it should be the guy who opened the door and let the two of them in, but the guy didn't mean to open the door, he reached out and grabbed the knocker but didn't push it open, half of his body bowed to the door, and his face was full of smiles: "The two guest officers wait, let the little one go in and report first." ”

That being said, the guy didn't have the slightest intention of moving.

The man in Tsing Yi has lived in the Jinguan Mansion for a long time, and this Taiping Inn is not the first time he has come, so he naturally knows that this guy is begging for a reward, and his eyes can't help but pass a touch of disgust, but he still gives the woman a look.

The woman took out a Taiping coin from her sleeve, threw it to the man, and said, "Open the door." ”

The man took the money, but his body was still in the way of the door, and he reached out and grabbed the knocker of the other door to push it but not push it, obviously the two doors would be rewarded twice.

The smile on the woman's face slowly subsided, and she spit out one word: "Get out." ”

Because the Taiping Inn has a Taoist background, these guys are very arrogant, not only are they used to eating ordinary guests on weekdays, but even the high-rollers in the rivers and lakes are not in their eyes, they have been so humiliated, and they are also angry at this time, and they are about to speak, when they suddenly hear the man say: "I know that this inn has a member of the Shuzhou Provincial Government, you can go and ask the mages of the Shuzhou Provincial Government to support you." ”

Where can the mages of the Shuzhou Provincial Government be invited, seeing that the two of them were full of confidence, he was timid, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare to ......"

The woman said coldly: "I'm worried that you don't dare, I want to see which mage is fighting for face and not coming to stand up for you." Get lost. ”

The guy hurried to the top of the stairs, almost hitting a few other guests, and hurriedly turned sideways to let the other guests pass.

The man stretched out his hand and pushed open the door that asked for a peace of money, and entered the corridor, one side of the corridor was a wall, and the other side was a private room door, he and the woman came to the third private room, and saw a red poster on the door, with the word "Xie" written on it, so he pushed the door and walked in.

In the private room was Xie Qiuniang, seeing the two of them coming in, she got up and greeted each other: "I didn't expect the flower girl to come too." ”

Most of the members of the Qingping Association are three-character word brand names, and sometimes in order to show cordiality, they take the first word of the word brand name as the surname, and the last two words as the name.

The name of this flower girl is "Flower Meaning".

As for why Qi Xuansu took the pseudonym "Wei Wugui" instead of directly using the brand name "Jin Wrong Knife", there are two main reasons.

The first reason is that when Qi Xuansu went to Fengtai County, he didn't know that he would enter Tiangang Hall in the future, and he felt that the identity of the Taoist priest of the seven grades of Daomen was dispensable, so he used his real name "Qi Xuansu" in the "inn" at will, and the pseudonym was to put an end to this kind of situation.

The second reason is that Qi Xuansu wants to enter Tiangang Hall, which is a key hall for the major secret associations, and the identities of the members of the Qingping Society must not be exposed, and for the sake of safety, another layer of camouflage must be added.

To put it simply, the name of the word brand is the second identity used to hide the name of the person, and the pseudonym is the third identity used to hide the name of the word brand. Xie Qiuniang, Xiao Qin Wang and the others are not in Daomen, let alone Jiutang, it doesn't matter if others know that they are members of the Qingping Society, as long as their real names are not exposed, they will directly use the name of the word brand.

Hua Jianyi asked, "How is Qiu Niang lately?" ”

Xie Qiuniang arched her hand and said: "Everything is fine, there is Miss Laohua to worry about." ”

The three of them sat down separately, and Xie Qiuniang said softly: "I have the trust of Brother Qin this time. ”

Xiao Qin Wang waved his hand, and said in a low tone: "I already know the matter, Qiu Niang doesn't have to blame herself, it's me who didn't think it through." ”

Xie Qiuniang asked, "Will 'Xuanyu' be wiped out under the power of the Gu Immortals?" ”

"Absolutely not." Xiao Qin Wang shook his head with great certainty and said, "'Xuanyu' is extremely difficult to destroy, maybe pseudo-immortals can do it, but ordinary celestials and innate people are extremely difficult to do, the divine power of Gu Immortals is not Gu Immortal himself, at most it is the power of ordinary celestials." ”

Xie Qiuniang said: "Then 'Xuanyu' fell into the hands of the two families of Buddhism and Taoism, I don't know if it is the monk of Jingchan Temple or the female crown of Tiangang Hall." ”

Xiao Qin Wang thought for a moment and said, "According to what you said, it is more likely to fall into the hands of that monk for three reasons. One, when you arrived at Yulan Temple, this monk had already arrived, and even before the two of them, it was very likely that he came for 'Xuanyu'. Second, the reason why the two Daomen came to Yulan Temple was because of the rebellion of the Lingshan Witch Sect, which was a coincidence, not for 'Xuanyu'. Third, when the Gu Immortal Divine Power fell, there were only monks and another Daomen disciple in the main hall, and that Daomen female crown was fighting with you. If you talk about realm cultivation, that Daomen disciple is only a cultivator at the Kunlun stage, but the monk is a cultivator at the stage of returning to the truth, and it seems that he is still a Buddha, even if that Daomen disciple accidentally discovers the 'Xuanyu', if he really wants to fight, it will inevitably be the monk who wins. ”

Xie Qiuniang said: "In this way, we are looking for the traces of this monk." ”

Xiao Qin Wang looked at Hua Jianyi, who was sitting beside him: "This matter still has to bother the flower girl." ”

Hua Jianyi nodded: "The Buddha in the stage of returning to the truth is traveling alone, so it is not difficult to distinguish. If this monk really gets 'Xuanyu', no matter how he makes a detour, he will return to Jingchan Temple in Zhongzhou, and we just need to wait for the rabbit in Zhongzhou. It just so happens that I have some connections in Zhongzhou, and as long as he returns to Zhongzhou, I can determine his approximate whereabouts. ”

Xie Qiuniang proposed: "After all, it is under the nose of Jingchan Temple, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate just a few of us, why don't you find a few more people?" ”

"People have to be reliable." Xiao Qin Wang added.

Hua Jian said: "If it is reliable, I know one." ”

"Who?" Xiao Qin Wang immediately asked.

Hua Jian said: "Seven ladies." ”

"The Seven Ladies who are known as 'Pixiu Seven'?" Xie Qiuniang was stunned, "I've heard of this, but isn't she a businessman who does business?" It's rare to hear that she did it herself. ”

"The Seventh Lady usually doesn't do it herself, in fact, she is the middleman." Hua Jianyi explained, "Not only can you find her to trade privately, but you can also find her to match and introduce some reliable people, after all, because she is a middleman, she has a wide range of contacts, which is far from being comparable to others." The only downside is that the charges are high and you don't want to bargain. ”

Xie Qiuniang laughed: "It's just someone else, the last thing Brother Qin lacks is Taiping money." ”

Hua Jianyi nodded and said, "That's right, the Seventh Lady also likes guests like Brother Qin the most." ”

"Don't make fun of me." Xiao Qin Wang smiled helplessly, but he didn't deny it, "Where are we going to meet this Seventh Lady?" ”

"The Seventh Lady has always been uncertain, the last time she appeared was in Huainan Mansion in Luzhou, and now she has left Luzhou." "But it's the end of the month, and she's never absent, so we can go to the meeting to meet her." ”

"That's it." King Xiao Qin clapped his hands and said, "Please ask the Seventh Lady to introduce us to some capable hands, preferably local people in Zhongzhou, and cooperate with us to set up a net in Zhongzhou to besiege and kill this monk." ”

King Xiao Qin said again: "But just in case, that Daomen female crown ...... Keep an eye out for it too. I have heard of this person, who is not only an immortal from the Zhang family, but also a sacrificial Taoist priest of Tiangang Hall hand-picked by the earth master. ”

Hua Jian nodded heavily: "You can also leave this matter to me." ”
