In Li Xiaoyao's room, four people sat around the table, and the table was full of delicious food and wine.

Liu Jinyuan, who had just been rescued from the feet of the three splashed fists, hugged his fists to Li Xiaoyao and said: "Brother Xiaoyao rescued him with righteousness, Liu is grateful." ”

Li Xiaoyao waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, why worry about it, Brother Liu doesn't have to be polite." ”

At this time, he was in a good mood, this was his first chivalrous battle, and one person against three big men, and he won such a beautiful victory, which made him feel very accomplished.

Liu Jinyuan picked up the wine glass on the table and said to the three of them: "A few people see that the road is uneven, draw their swords to help, it is really the style of Ren Xia, I will toast you a glass below." ”

Li Fei, Li Xiaoyao, and Zhao Linger raised their glasses and drank together.

Putting down the wine glass, Liu Jinyuan asked Li Fei: "Brother Xiaoyao and Ling'er are chivalrous couples, so they must not have come to participate in the martial arts competition, Brother Li should be, right?" ”

Li Fei shook his head and smiled: "Me is not, we are just passing through here." ”

Liu Jinyuan said: "In this case, how can a few people stay in this inn?" ”

Li Fei said helplessly: "This is also a helpless thing, all the guest rooms have been chartered by Master Lin, we have nowhere to go, we can't sleep on the streets." ”

"I had to make a trick to make the shopkeeper mistakenly think that we were holding the registration post, and in desperation, Brother Liu smiled."

Liu Jinyuan was stunned, and said with a smile: "Brother Li is a good means." ”

Li Xiaoyao asked curiously: "Brother Liu is also here to participate in the martial arts competition to recruit relatives?" ”

Liu Jinyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Xiaoyao, don't be sarcastic about me, I have been studying since I was a child, and I have never practiced martial arts, so it is naturally a joke to participate in the martial arts competition to recruit relatives." ”

"Then why did Brother Liu come?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Jinyuan's face was sad, and he said self-deprecatingly: "Brother Li, you asked me why I came, in fact, I often ask myself this in the past few days, why did I come?" ”

Li Xiaoyao said: "Even you don't know? ”

Liu Jinyuan looked at him and Zhao Ling'er, and sighed: "You and Ling'er are talented and beautiful, and you can go to the rivers and lakes together, you are really happy, you will not understand my suffering." ”

Zhao Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "Listening to what Brother Liu said, it is because you have a sweetheart, but you can't be with her, am I right?" ”

"Ling'er is really ice and snow smart."

Li Xiaoyao was surprised and said: "Brother Liu, you are a talent, and your family background must not be bad, could it be that you are not in the right household?" ”

Liu Jinyuan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, our family background is very compatible, and we are childhood sweethearts, we grew up together, she is my aunt's daughter." ”

Li Xiaoyao said: "That's your cousin, cousins and sisters get married, this is a beautiful thing, why not?" ”

Liu Jinyuan said with a sad face: "But the problem is, my cousin is the eldest lady of the Lin family who wants to compete in martial arts!" ”

"Master Lin is both my uncle and my uncle, but he is from the martial arts, and he is also the leader of the martial arts alliance in the southern martial arts."

"He only has a daughter like my cousin, so he must do some kind of martial arts competition to recruit relatives, choose a son-in-law for her, and inherit the martial arts foundation in the future."

"I ...... I have no power to restrain the chicken, how can I compete with others? can only sit in the city of sorrow all day long. ”

"Seeing that tomorrow is the time to recruit relatives, I still have no way at all, so I have to go to the inn to borrow wine to drown my sorrows."

"It's a pity that I borrowed wine to drown my sorrows, not only did I not get rid of my sorrows, but I was also beaten up by a scoundrel."

“……”

After listening to Liu Jinyuan's words, even Li Xiaoyao felt a little sympathetic to this guy, he didn't say anything, just raised his glass to signal to him, and then drank it all to show comfort.

Zhao Ling'er said: "Miss Lin must be a good girl, so she can make Brother Liu so fascinated." ”

Liu Jinyuan drank a glass of wine, put down the wine glass, his eyes showed a look of longing, and he said softly: "Yes!" She is really a rare and unparalleled good woman in heaven. ”

"Ling'er don't blame me for judging myself, her appearance is by no means inferior to you, and she is the most gentle."

Li Fei heard this, and a mouthful of wine squirted out.

The most gentle?

Do you have any misunderstanding of the word tenderness?

Sure enough, what the licking dog saw in his eyes was completely different from that of a normal person.

Zhao Ling'er smiled and asked again, "Then does she like you too?" ”

Liu Jinyuan was stunned and said with some hesitation: "This...... I don't know, she usually talks and laughs when she sees me, and she doesn't shy away from it. ”

"Maybe it's shy! She never took the initiative to ask me to find me, she kept it all in her heart. ”

Li Xiaoyao and Li Fei glanced at each other, their eyes a little strange.

How do you feel that this guy has such a bit of wishful thinking?

Even if others don't like you, as cousins who grew up together, it's normal to talk and laugh!

Zhao Ling'er said suspiciously: "Like it or not, you should be able to see it at a glance, how can you not know?" ”

Liu Jinyuan blinked his eyes, and said with an innocent face: "The so-called woman's heart, the needle under the sea, I really don't know what she is thinking in her heart." ”

Zhao Ling'er shook her head and said seriously: "No, it's definitely not like this, if a woman likes someone, the affection in her heart is like a landslide, and nothing can stop it." ”

"Even if she doesn't say anything, it will let you know what she is thinking, and even if she can't see you, she will let you know that she loves you."

"That's how I did to Brother Xiaoyao, didn't she do this to you?"

Li Xiaoyao looked at Zhao Ling'er in a daze, these words came out of her mouth, it was so natural, listening to his ears, there was no other feeling except moving.

I secretly swore in my heart that I would never live up to Ling'er in this life.

Liu Jinyuan read poetry and books, guarded the defense of etiquette and religion, and he was at a loss for such a blatant and direct confession.

After being silent for a long time, he said slowly: "This ...... Maybe her family education is too strict, so she doesn't dare to show her heart, right? ”

Zhao Linger is still puzzled, she is too simple, and she thinks about things in this world very simply.

"Why can't you show your heart? Love is a matter of two people, you can do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't get in the way of others, isn't it? ”

"Uh...... This ......"

Zhao Ling'er's eyes were clear and translucent, so pure that it was difficult to resist, and Liu Jinyuan felt a little helpless at this time.

Li Xiaoyao was secretly amused in his heart, but he still relieved Liu Jinyuan.

He coughed, diverted the topic, raised his glass and smiled: "Brother Liu, I wish you what you wish in the future, and stay with your cousin, come, I will toast you." ”

Li Fei also raised his glass and said: "It's better for everyone to have a drink together, I hope we can all be happy and happy in the future." ”

Liu Jinyuan happily raised his glass and said: "A few people can live happily and accompany each other hand in hand, which is really enviable, and I want to make friends with a few people, but I don't know what to do?" ”

Li Xiaoyao said boldly: "There are brothers in the four seas, why not?" The eldest brother once said that a friend, a word, and a glass of wine are a lifetime. ”

Liu Jinyuan said happily: "It's so good to say, it's enough to have a confidant in life, but today I am fortunate to meet three, it is really a blessing to live three lives, there is no need to say anything, let's do it." ”

A few people have a thousand glasses of wine for their confidants, and a pot of wine quickly bottoms out, Zhao Linger is not strong enough to drink, so Li Xiaoyao helped her open the screen and let her rest first.

Liu Jinyuan asked Xiao Er to send a few pots of wine, and the three men drank until the early hours of the morning, chatting freely in the north and south, very harmonious and speculative, and they were a little drunk when they finished the market.

Of course, only Liu Jinyuan and Li Xiaoyao were slightly drunk.

With Li Fei's current immortal body, only the immortal spirit wine rich in spiritual energy can make him go up, and he will be blind no matter how much wine he drinks.

……

The next morning, the three of them met in Li Fei's room.

Li Fei naturally didn't take the initiative to disturb the little two, so he could only wait for them to knock on his door.

Liu Jinyuan had already left the inn last night and returned to Linjiabao, where he had an independent courtyard.

Because it was a free stay, and there was no deposit of money, there was naturally no problem of checking out, so the three of them went out of the inn directly and went to the street.

"Wow, big brother Ling'er, look, it's really lively here during the day."

Li Fei smiled: "Suzhou City has a history of 2,000 years, and it is one of the most famous historical and cultural cities in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Ling'er nodded again and again, and said, "Well, I read it in a book, saying that Wu Zixu, Zhu Maichen, and Bai Juyi have all lived here. ”

Li Xiaoyao said with great interest: "I know that Suzhou's sword and Wu Hook are the most famous, and the cadre Mo Xie and his wife are the famous sword smelting craftsmen in Suzhou. ”

Li Fei couldn't stop laughing, a person's interest determines his focus, this kid dreams of being a hero, and he knows this aspect very well.

The three of them chatted while walking, talking and laughing along the way, and soon came to the vicinity of Xuanmiaoguan, which is the most lively place in Suzhou City.

One of the reasons why this place is lively is because there are many temples.

Sanqing Palace, Dongyue Temple, Xingsu Palace, Mida Pavilion, Guandi Temple, etc., all are complete, there is a temple place, visitors are bound to be more.

Then there are many snacks nearby, there are all kinds of snacks fragrant, Suzhou special snacks red bean sugar porridge, tofu flowers, wine cakes and so on stalls.

Finally, there is a lot of juggling, and there is a bazaar in front of each temple.

Jianghu artists make a living and do tricks, sell pear paste candy and plasters, and play monkeys and swallow swords, they are bizarre, and they will not get bored after playing all day long.

After strolling around for a while, I met a fortune-telling stall, and the blue-robed Taoist sitting behind the table saw that Li Xiaoyao was looking at him, so he opened his mouth and greeted: "The iron mouth is straightforward, and it is not easy to get money, does the son want to tell fortunes?" ”

Li Xiaoyao said with interest: "Is it really not good to get money?" ”

"Not bad."

"Okay, then you can help me calculate my recent fortunes."

The blue-robed Taoist looked at Li Xiaoyao carefully, his face gradually became strange, he looked at Li Xiaoyao, and then at Li Fei, stroked his beard and groaned.

Seeing this, Li Fei's expression moved, and he asked with a smile: "Isn't the Taoist chief straightforward?" Why don't you speak? ”

The blue-robed Taoist looked at Li Xiaoyao and said, "The son's complexion is red, and his face is full of peach blossoms. ”

"But the tail of the child's eyes is dim, and there is a diagonal stripe, which seems to have a horizontal knife on your peach blossom luck, which is ......"

"What?" Li Xiaoyao glared and shouted: "Are you saying that I have had peach blossom luck recently, and then I will be robbed of my love by someone?" ”

The blue-robed Taoist hurriedly said: "Son, don't be impatient, and listen to me, as the so-called woman is water, water can carry a boat and capsize a boat." ”

"Originally, this peach blossom luck would bring all kinds of suffering to Childe, and being stabbed with this knife is a good thing for Childe."

Li Xiaoyao said speechlessly: "What you said is the same as not saying it." ”

"Uh...... This, too, seems to be ha. The Taoist was slightly embarrassed.

Zhao Ling'er's eyes were originally wide-eyed, but she couldn't help but roll her eyes coquettishly when she heard this.

What this Taoist priest said seemed to be bluffing, but after listening to it, when he thought about it carefully, it was complete nonsense.

first has peach blossom luck, and then is given a knife to take love, isn't that gone?

Since there is nothing at all, what is in the middle, is it not a random nonsense with empty mouths and white teeth?

Anyway, it can't be verified, he said that there is a calamity, it will bring all kinds of suffering, who knows if it is true or false?

Li Fei didn't dare to underestimate this Taoist priest, Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er didn't know, but he was clear in his heart.

The so-called peach blossom luck naturally refers to Lin Yueru, and the person who snatches love with a knife is undoubtedly himself.

Gu He also remembered who this Taoist priest was at this time.

There is a character in the world of fairy swords, who is as mysterious as the Zhou Immortal in the world of Zhuxian, who is the Taoist priest in front of him, and the name given in the game is "fortune teller".

In the original plot, Li Xiaoyao at this time naturally didn't believe him.

But when Lin Tiannan asked him to show Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru the eight characters, Li Xiaoyao knew that what this guy said at the beginning was accurate, and every word was fine.

It was also at that time that the fortune teller said the proverb that affected Li Xiaoyao's life: Demons are not demons, Tao is not Tao, good and evil are in people's hearts; Desire is not desire, love is not love, marriage is determined by heaven.

And Li Fei knew very well that when the blue-robed Daoist looked at Li Xiaoyao, there was a flash of inspiration in his eyes.

It can be seen that he is not just looking at his appearance, but also looking at his qi.

The qi in a person's body often represents different fortunes, and combined with physiognomy, you can roughly see a person's fate.

This view is very similar to the "Jade Pillar Physiognomy" that he is proficient in.

Seeing that Li Xiaoyao's life was nothing to say, the fortune teller looked at Zhao Ling'er and said, "Do you want this girl to calculate it too?" ”

Zhao Ling'er didn't believe this Taoist in her heart, but she still said, "Okay, you can talk about it." ”

The fortune teller's eyes flashed again, and he looked at Zhao Ling'er carefully, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he even let out an exclamation.

"Oh...... The girl Yaoguang gathers at the top, the aura is compelling, rare in the world, she will be the emperor in the court, and she is also a masterpiece in the opposition. ”

Li Xiaoyao pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Who wouldn't say good things?" ”

But he listened to the fortune teller and continued: "But...... There is a hint of evil between the girl's eyebrows, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe in the near future. ”

"Bah, bah, ......" Li Xiaoyao didn't believe it at all, with him and his eldest brother's care, what calamity could Ling'er have?

Seeing that the Taoist didn't even say good things in order to cheat money, Li Xiaoyao said angrily: "Nonsense, do you want to help us relieve the catastrophe next, and then knock a big deal?" ”

"I've seen a lot of your tricks, big brother Ling'er, let's go."

Li Xiaoyao pulled Zhao Ling'er and was about to leave, and the fortune teller hurriedly shouted: "Childe, childe, you haven't paid yet!" ”

Li Xiaoyao snorted: "Didn't you say that you don't want to get money? ”

The fortune teller said urgently: "But what the poor Dao said is the truth!" What's more, the poor Tao has not finished speaking! ”

"Although this girl has calamities, but with the help of nobles, she will be able to turn evil into good fortune and be auspicious in distress."

Li Xiaoyao said hesitantly: "It's nonsense again, and I just want to say good things now, it's too late." ”

Fortune teller: "......"

Li Fei looked at this scene with a smile, nobleman, didn't he mean him?

His eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Why don't you help me do the math." ”

The fortune teller didn't start directly this time, but said vigilantly: "That money ......"

Li Fei chuckled, took out a piece of silver and put it on the table, and the fortune teller smiled happily.

He put away the silver and stared at Li Fei, who knew that he looked at it this time, but he didn't speak for a long time, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and his face was full of confusion.

"Nothing, how can this be? How is this possible? ”

Li Fei asked suspiciously, "What?" Sir can't count the number of lives under him? ”

The fortune teller waved his hand again and again, and said: "No, no, it's not that you can't calculate the number of son's lives, but that the son himself doesn't have a number of lives." ”

"It's like Childe is a blank in this world, which really shouldn't be."

"Even if it is a deceased person, as long as it has existed in this world, there are traces to follow."

"But Son, you have no trace to follow, as if you have never existed in this world, which makes Poor Dao puzzled, this shouldn't be, and it's impossible!"

Li Fei laughed and said in a joking tone: "Maybe it is that Xia has transcended this world and jumped out of the long river of fate, not in the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements?" ”

The worldview of this world is actually not the Three Realms, but the Six Realms: the Divine Realm, the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, the Human Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Ghost Realm.

However, this is the cognition of people in cultivation, and the cognition of people in the world is still the three worlds of heaven, earth and man.

The divine realm and the fairy realm are the heavenly realm in the perception of mortals, while the demon realm, the ghost realm and the demon realm are the earth realm.

The fortune teller was dumbfounded, and said with a wry smile: "This is also a possibility, but ...... Alas, it may be that there is something wrong with the poor road itself, so that today's calculation is not effective. ”

As he spoke, he took out the piece of silver he had just accepted, handed it to Li Fei, and said, "I couldn't calculate the number of sons' lives, and the poor road shouldn't have collected money." ”

Li Fei waved his hand and said, "Forget it, just think I'll pay for them!" It's not easy for you either, farewell. ”

The fortune teller was very grateful, and made a mockery of Li Fei's back when he left, and said, "Thank you, son." ”

Li Xiaoyao whispered: "It's just a charlatan, why did you give him so much money, big brother?" ”

Li Feihun said indifferently: "It's not easy for people to go to the rivers and lakes to earn food, and I feel that what he said may not be nonsense." ”

Li Xiaoyao was stunned and said, "Where did you get this feeling from?" ”

Zhao Ling'er's heart suddenly moved, and he said hesitantly: "Brother Xiaoyao, what do you say...... Could the peach blossom luck in that mouth refer to the girl I met yesterday? ”

Li Xiaoyao suddenly jumped up and exclaimed, "No! The ...... How is this possible? ”

Zhao Ling'er said methodically: "Look! If the eldest brother hadn't walked with us, would you have taken action to fight yesterday's incident? ”

"Of course it will, but ......" Li Xiaoyao was suddenly stunned, and said thoughtfully: "You mean, after I have a grievance, I will have an intersection with that girl?" ”

"That's right!"

Li Xiaoyao stroked his chin and said, "According to what you said, that girl is so fierce and fierce, and she often cuts off people's arms, if I really have anything to do with her...... Hiss ......"

Speaking of this, he gasped, couldn't help but shudder, and said in fear: "Maybe it's really like what that person said, and it will be miserable in the future." ”

Speaking of this, he grabbed Zhao Ling'er's shoulders and said happily: "My Ling'er is still gentle and cute, I just need Ling'er." ”

Zhao Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled, looked at Li Fei and said, "If that Taoist has real skills, it means that the person who stabbed a knife and blocked the disaster for Brother Xiaoyao is the eldest brother." ”

"Let's just see, if the eldest brother will meet that girl again, don't you know if that person has real skills or a charlatan?"

Li Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said: "Yes, with the means of the eldest brother, I must be able to suppress the evil girl, in this way, I wonder if this is really a good marriage for the eldest brother." ”

Li Fei listened to the words of the two of you, and pulled out the truth, and he was also impressed in his heart.

He shook his head with a smile and said, "Let's see!" The girl wasn't actually bad by nature, but she was a little hot-tempered. ”

"If it's really my destined marriage, I won't run away."

Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er were a little excited when they heard this, and the two began to speculate on the identity of the girl.

However, no matter how they speculated, they didn't expect the eldest lady of the Lin family to go to it.

Because Liu Jinyuan said before that his cousin is "the most gentle", and she is not right with that fierce and vicious evil girl at all.

After shopping for a while, when the three of them passed by a jewelry stall, the boss smiled at Li Xiaoyao and said: "Son, daughter-in-law is so beautiful, buy some beads!" ”

Li Xiaoyao didn't care about these things originally, but now that he has a family and a wife, his heart has become smaller.

greeted Li Fei at the moment, and pulled Zhao Ling'er to stop in front of the stall.

Li Xiaoyao took a fancy to a silver hairpin at a glance, picked it up and said to Zhao Ling'er: "Ling'er, this silver hairpin must look good when you wear it, I'll buy it for you." ”

Zhao Ling'er also seemed to like the silver hairpin, but said with some hesitation: "But...... It seems expensive! ”

Li Xiaoyao smiled: "It's okay, girls just have to be able to dress up, boss, I want this silver hairpin." ”

The stall owner praised with a smile: "Son, you really have a vision, this hairpin is four hundred and twenty yuan, just count your four hundred yuan!" ”

Li Xiaoyao said dissatisfiedly: "It's only 20 wen, it's not enough to be interesting, it's 200 wen." ”

The boss was dumbfounded and said, "Childe, there is no book for four hundred texts!" You're too fierce to kill, lift? ”

Li Xiaoyao said without giving an inch: "You Suzhou people are the best at doing business, and I still want to say more than two hundred words!" ”

Li Xiaoyao was trained by Aunt Li, and when it comes to bargaining, skill is not a problem.

Suzhou people are famous for raising prices when doing business, and he directly kills half of them, and he understands the market.

Zhao Ling'er didn't understand the survival of these ordinary people, and was stunned from the sidelines.

The first time she saw that she had cut half the price of something directly, her beautiful little face was a little red.

She was embarrassed to pull Li Xiaoyao and whispered: "Brother Xiaoyao, it's okay if I don't want it." ”

Li Fei on the side said with a smile: "Ling'er, the money that should be saved should be saved, and what should not be saved cannot be saved." ”

"As the saying goes, men are responsible for making money to support their families, and women are responsible for being beautiful like flowers, and it is natural for you to spend this money freely."

Hearing Li Fei say this, Zhao Linger stopped persuading.

In the end, after some bargaining by Li Xiaoyao, he bought this silver hairpin at a price of two hundred and twenty yuan.

The silver hairpin is not a silver hairpin, the material is not much, the hairpin is generally made as a strand, the hairpin body is thicker, it is slightly more silver, and it is heavier, so it is naturally more expensive.

The hairpin is generally made of two strands, the hairpin body is thinner, and the material of this silver hairpin is never more than one penny of silver, and the boss of two hundred and twenty dollars still earns.

But counting the manual fee, in fact, the boss doesn't make much, Li Xiaoyao is a man who can live.

After walking around the street for a while, they finally heard the news they wanted to find out.

On the edge of a private house, a group of three heard several residents chatting.

"I heard that last month, the village in the west made trouble with the snake demon, not only robbed a lot of property, but also kidnapped Old Man Zhang's granddaughter Xiaohui."

"His granddaughter is only sixteen years old, and the poor old man Zhang is over seventy years old, and the grandfather and grandson have been dependent on each other for their lives, so the old man Zhang is very sad."

"The neighbors ran to the Lin family to beg the Lord of Limburg to come forward, and the Lord of Limburg was duty-bound to lead more than a dozen strong men to remove the demon and save people."

"As a result, the monster didn't see it, but lost seven or eight lives."

"How can manpower defeat demons? In my opinion, the lord of Limburg will not succeed either. ”

"But it's better not to save it, I heard that snakes and monsters are lustful and evil by nature, if the girl falls into its hands, even if she is rescued, she can't be a human!"

Listening to the discussion of the residents, Zhao Ling'er whispered: "Sure enough, where demon-eating insects infest, there must be monsters." ”

Li Fei nodded and said, "When we get out of the city, let's go to the west and find out the snake demon." ”

"Okay."

The trio left the neighborhood and headed west of the city.

After a few moments, they noticed that there was a lot of noise and bustle in front of them, and many people were gathered together.

Zhao Ling'er said: "There are so many people here, could it be that the martial arts competition is where the pro-family conference is located?" ”

Li Xiaoyao said with interest: "Let's go, take a look." ”

Li Fei's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little when he looked at it.
