"Do you have a good job?"

Li Jiuan consciously realized that the nine-year compulsory education was okay, and he came up with such an answer in connection with the context.

"You know a fart, those senior brothers of the old way, which one is not better than me, what about them now? Didn't she ask Lao Tzu to go back and burn paper for them every year? ”

"Lao Tzu's ability is not so powerful, but he can live for so long, he just understands a truth, safety, don't go to find those monsters that can't be beaten."

"Mandrill, that's, don't think that if you cut down a zombie and kill a few spirits, you will be so powerful."

Lao Dao said too much in one breath, drank a glass of wine and took a smooth breath before continuing.

"So, do you understand now?"

The old man hated iron and looked at Li Jiu'an with his eyes.

"Got it."

Li Jiuan nodded obediently.

"Then will you go back with me?"

Lao Dao saw Li Jiu'an's demeanor like this, and his eyes gradually softened.

"No, no."

I understand the truth, but I just don't do it.

Lao Dao suddenly blew his beard angrily and stared, unwilling to pick up the wine jug and take a sip.

Li Jiuan couldn't stop it, and he had a reasonable suspicion in his heart that this stinky and shameless old Taoist priest just wanted to take the opportunity to drink more wine.

......

"Damn youkai, blocking the trade road, losing a third of the customers in vain."

Shopkeeper Wang was sitting behind the counter fiddling with the abacus, counting today's income with a stunned face, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he casually pulled a little second and commanded.

"Send this to the guests of Tianzi No. 1 room."

Xiao Er took the two incense sticks and looked embarrassed.

"It's not a big deal, shopkeeper, I've given things away several times."

"If you want to send it, you will send it, and don't forget to collect money."

"Yes, shopkeeper."

After Xiao Er left, Shopkeeper Wang added a sum of money to the account book with satisfaction.

income, five taels of silver.

"Squeak."

The curtain opened.

Hearing the sound, the shopkeeper put down his pen to welcome the guests.

"Guest, you are..."

The man who came was dressed in short clothes, took off his hat after entering the door, and a rough voice directly interrupted the words of the shopkeeper Wang.

"Shopkeeper, did there be a man and a woman who opened a room with you before?"

The shopkeeper still had a perfect signature smile on his face.

"The information of customers who enter our store will never be disclosed, so please forgive me for being objective."

"Hmph."

"Is it enough?"

The man in the short coat threw a bag of silver and smashed it directly into the abacus of the king's shopkeeper.

"Objectively, it's not a matter of money or money."

"Smack."

Another bag.

Coincidentally, at this time, the previous Xiao Er came back and handed a silver ticket to the shopkeeper Wang.

Heluo Tongbao Money Village, one hundred taels of silver.

"Shopkeeper, the guest officer said, take this money, don't disturb his rest one by one."

Shopkeeper Wang took the silver ticket, happily stuffed it into his arms, glanced at the two money bags in front of him, and pondered for a while.

"How many rooms are left vacant in our store tonight?"

Xiao Er was puzzled in his heart, there was only one guest staying in the store today, what is there to ask, the shopkeeper is not confused.

"Back to the shopkeeper, there are customers in the store today, and the rest are all empty."

"Oh."

The shopkeeper looked at the sky, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

The man in the short coat smiled.

"Shopkeeper, open the second room of Tianzi for me."

"Okay, don't show the guests the way."

......

Back to Li Jiuan's side, the two chatted not speculatively.

A pot of wine was all drunk by the old way, and he could only eat quietly by himself.

I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman with a big belly walking over.

Holding a plate of beef in one hand and a pot of wine in the other, he got straight to the point.

"Under the surname Su, the name Yuan, is a businessman, I just heard that the two Taoist chiefs said that the monster blocking the road is called a mandrill, and I would like to hear about it."

Lao Dao was worried that he didn't have any wine to drink, and he was not polite at the moment, so he took the wine jug and refilled himself with a glass.

"You want to go north to do business, right? I advise you to change your route as soon as possible, it's better to lose a little than to die. ”

Su Yuan looked unwilling and continued to ask.

"Please explain in detail, is this monster very powerful? There are so many heroes in us, are you still afraid of him? ”

Lao Dao tasted the wine and glanced at Li Jiu'an.

"This mandrill is also called a mountain spirit, one-legged and one-eyed, long and black, and infinitely powerful, and the most powerful thing is that it also has two magical powers."

As soon as the old Taoist words were broken, Su Yuan immediately poured wine.

"One of these two magical powers is: resisting the wind, and the other is saying: serving ghosts."

"Let's talk about this wind first, it is the natal talent of the mandrill, once it is used, the color of the world within a radius of 100 meters will change, no matter how many people you can't stop."

Lao Dao saw Li Jiu'an open his mouth to speak, and his eyes widened.

"The wind summoned by the mandrill is a yin wind, not your ordinary wind energy."

Seeing Li Jiu'an close his mouth, Lao Dao retracted his gaze and continued.

"Besides, this ghost, the mandrill is the spirit of the mountain, and it is born to communicate with the souls of the dead, and all those who die in the mountain must be controlled by the mandrill."

"You think, when the time comes, there will be a yin wind, and the wind will be mixed with powerful ghosts, who of you can deal with it?"

"Then, wouldn't you have to go back and find another way?"

"Exactly, it's good to go back as soon as possible. Don't have a bad brain, you have to die. ”

Lao Dao put down the wine glass, meaning something.

Li Jiuan could only shake his head and smile bitterly when he heard this.

......

The shopkeeper held the silver ticket in his hand and rubbed it again and again.

Sure enough, it's a fat sheep, or a particularly fat one.

"Shopkeeper, open room."

The two Taoist priests plus Su Yuan chatted for a long time and finally ended.

The third room of the shopkeeper Wang has finally opened today.

"Huh? How is it the second room? Shopkeeper, we don't have the money to pay. ”

Lao Dao heard the shopkeeper Wang's instructions to Xiao Er and asked.

"Don't blame the two Taoist chiefs, the business of the small shop is not good today, upgrade the two of you, haha, it's free, if you are satisfied, you will come next time."

Seeing that the shopkeeper said this, Lao Dao was not polite, and immediately followed Xiao Er upstairs.

......

The moon hung high, and the king's shopkeeper finally sent off the last guest.

"Change the lights, welcome the guests."

The shopkeeper Wang commanded Xiao Er with his hands behind his back.

Although there are only three guests staying at the hotel, Shopkeeper Wang is still very satisfied with today's harvest.

At this time, the three rooms in the store are different.

Dizi No. 2 room.

Maybe Li Jiuan refused to go back with Lao Dao, and this Lao Dao didn't pay attention to him after returning to the room, and fell asleep on the bed alone.

Li Jiuan has no other way, and he also understands the old way's thoughts, if he doesn't have a task in his body, he is quite willing to worship this master, but unfortunately he is not a person from the world, he will have to go back sooner or later, rather than being fetted up, it is better to break it off early.

So he sighed lightly, blew out the candle, sat down cross-legged, and began today's cultivation.

Tianzi No. 1 room.

The mist mixes with the smoke to create a hazy aesthetic, and the sound of splashing in the water can be faintly heard.

Through the mist, I saw my long hair hanging down from the barrel, and my snow-white arms resting on the edge of the barrel, just leaning against the barrel, enjoying the service of the maidservant.

"Miss, let's go back quickly, the master will be angry."

The maidservant gently poured hot water on the young lady's neck, and persuaded worriedly.

"I won't go back, I'm going to get married when I go back, I don't want to, and..."

In the middle of speaking, the young lady opened her eyes, showed a sly smile, and stretched out her snow-white index finger to hook the maid's chin.

"I can't bear you girl."

"Little, miss, you're laughing again."

Tianzi No. 2 room.

I saw that the man in short clothes did not change his clothes and slept, but meditated against the wall.

If you look closely, you can see that his attention is not on meditation, but on observing the movements in the next room.

When the moon was dark and the wind was high, in the dead of night, and there was no movement in the room next to him, he finally got up.
