Xiao Liu, who ran the hall, had just brought the wine and food of the guest at the window to the table, but he heard a woman's voice at the door say, "Shop, but there is still a guest room?" ”

Xiao Liu turned around and looked back, only to see a stunning woman in a purple robe standing quietly at the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to reply: "Yes, there are some, and there are five upper rooms, I don't know how many you have?" As he spoke, he looked out the door, only to find that there was no one else in the courtyard.

"One room is all you need." The woman replied.

"Please, please go to our shopkeeper to register first." Xiao Liu remembered Tong Xiangyu's advice, knowing that this strange woman with no luggage and no entourage was afraid that she was also a cultivator, so she must not be lazy, so she hurriedly and respectfully welcomed the woman inside.

The woman stepped in, and without waiting to look around the room, she saw the square-faced man by the window at a glance, and her originally calm heart suddenly swelled with anger.

"I'll go to register in a while, you can get busy with yours first." After saying that, he walked straight towards the man without looking back.

"Okay, good ......" Xiao Liu saw that the woman's face seemed to be a little unkind, so he didn't dare to step forward to stop him, turned around and walked behind the counter, and didn't forget to look back secretly as he walked.

The woman unceremoniously sat down opposite the man, glared at the other party's eyes and said, "Qu Wuming, aren't you dead yet?!" ”

"Ling'er? Why are you here too? "That man is Qu Wuming. At this moment, when I heard the woman's voice, I didn't have time to avoid it, but I saw the woman sitting over with an angry face, and she had the intention of asking the teacher for sin. With a slightly embarrassed and flattering smile on his face, he hurriedly took a wine cup and put it in front of the woman, got up and poured a wine jar for the woman.

"Be less courteous!" The woman's face was not good, and she whispered like a cannon, "I haven't heard from you for so many years, I thought you were dead!" Why didn't you say goodbye back then? Who are you and me? Can't you say hello and then go? Can I force you to stay? ”

"Ling'er, listen to me. I didn't mean to say goodbye. But at that time, an enemy suddenly found nearby, and in order not to involve you, he left in a hurry. I wanted to get rid of the other party and then go to you, but I didn't expect to be chased by the enemy all the way to the East China Sea before I got rid of it...... By the time I go back to you, you're gone. Ling'er, it really wasn't my intention to say goodbye at the beginning, don't blame me, okay? ”

When the woman heard this, she seemed to believe the man's words, but she still said stubbornly: "Who believes your nonsense? You don't know how hard I've been looking for you all these years! Hum! Since the enemy is chasing and killing you, you tell me, which enemy is it? ”

Qu Wuming looked left and right, and quietly flicked his fingers towards the ground, and an almost transparent air flow flew out of his fingertips and sank into the ground. Then, a transparent light mask that was difficult for ordinary people to see with the naked eye suddenly appeared next to the two of them, covering the two of them inside.

At this time, Qu Wuming spoke: "Speaking of that enemy, you should have heard of it......"

When the woman heard this, she frowned slightly and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Qu Wuming replied: "The Purple Cloud Sect is a crane in the clouds." ”

"Is that him?" The woman's brows couldn't help but furrow, "How did you provoke him?" ”

"His second disciple raped and killed a woman in Izumo Province in Luoxia Prefecture, and after being found out by the Heavenly Mirror Division, he fled to the vicinity of Wanxi County. It just so happened that the person who was chasing him was a good friend of mine, and after we met by chance in Juanxi County, I came to my aid. Later, his second disciple was crushed by me and caught in the Heavenly Mirror Division. As a result, somehow, the matter was found out by the crane in the clouds......"

When the woman heard this, she hurriedly said worriedly: "That Yunzhonghe, like his senior brothers, is notoriously difficult to protect his shortcomings, he didn't treat you well, right?" ”

"Of course not, although my Qu Wuming is not as good as him, it is not easy for him to catch me." Seeing the woman's worried expression, Qu Wuming's heart moved, and he reached out and gently held the woman's soft hand, "Although I haven't been able to meet you all these years, I know that when Ling'er knows that I didn't mean to say goodbye, I will definitely not worry about me and will not be angry again, right?" ”

The woman struggled back, but found that her hand was firmly grasped by Qu Wuming, and her pretty face was slightly red and she feigned anger: "You will be flamboyant with me!" Don't let go yet. ”

"I haven't been able to see you for so many years, and I finally see you, and I don't want to let go easily." Qu Wuming took the woman's hand and said with a smile, "Unless, you say I'll let go if you don't get angry!" ”

"Nasty!" The woman took a sip and said with a red face, "Okay, don't be angry with you!" Hurry up and let go of ......"

Qu Wuming smiled and let go of the woman's hand, and when he let go, his fingers did not forget to lightly swipe the back of the woman's hand, which naturally caused the woman to stare at him with a red face.

……

Xiao Liu quietly came to Tong Xiangyu's side and exclaimed in a low voice: "The shopkeeper is really amazing...... The sound of that table seemed to be isolated from the world, and I couldn't hear anything with such good ears...... They are indeed legendary cultivators. ”

"You be quiet," Tong Xiangyu glanced over there, and saw that the man named Qu Wuming was lowering his eyebrows and laughing with the new woman, and suddenly felt a little annoyed in his heart, "You can't hear them, they can't say it, but they can hear us." With so many cultivators coming recently, I can't tell if something big is going to happen......"

"Yes, we haven't heard of any cultivators coming to our town for decades, if it's really like their legend, you can fly to the sky and escape at every turn, call for wind and rain, and fight earth-shattering, our inn may not be able to withstand their tossing......"

"They also have their own rules, and they won't embarrass us ordinary people." Tong Xiangyu said, took out a key and handed it to Xiao Liu, "However, there is no harm in being more careful." You go to the storeroom, and in the innermost brass cabinet, there are a few pieces of protective soft armor left by the old shopkeeper and take them out, and everyone has been wearing them recently, just in case. ”

"Yes, thank you shopkeeper!"

……

"Ling'er, why did you come here yet? Could it be that you also received a piece of black jade order? After saying a lot of love words, Qu Wuming opened his mouth and asked about business.

"You too?" The woman's name is Han Ling'er, a female cultivator in Peach Blossom Valley, who met Qu Wuming a few years ago when she was traveling, and once spent a happy time of being a concubine, and she has been traveling all these years while continuing to look for news of Qu Wuming.

"The Black Jade Order appears every few decades, and although each mission may be a life-or-death event, the reward for completing the mission is definitely worth the money." Qu Wuming nodded, "Since escaping the pursuit of the crane in the clouds, I have been a little tight on my hand, and I don't have many spirit stones left. happened to encounter the appearance of the black jade order, so he went to 'grab' a piece. What about you? You have your back to Peach Blossom Valley, why do you want to participate in such a dangerous thing? ”

"You also know, I've been stuck in the second bottleneck of the Yuan Infant Stage for more than ten years, and I've tried to break through several times without success." Han Ling'er replied, "I heard that after completing the task, you can give up the reward issued at the time of the bounty, and instead ask the master of the black jade order to give you another pill or treasure, I have already inquired with someone, with my current situation, if I can get a Heavenly Pivot Spirit Pill, breaking through this bottleneck is just around the corner." It's just that the Pivotal Spirit Pill was a fifth-order elixir that day, and it was impossible to find it, so I ...... it."

"Confused! The second weight of the Yuan Infant Period is just a small bottleneck, and it will naturally be able to break through safely over time! Qu Wuming frowned and interrupted Han Ling'er, "What's more, you are still young and have extraordinary qualifications, how good it would be to break through naturally when the opportunity comes, why do you have to be in such a hurry?" ”

Han Ling'er said with a look of grievance when she heard this: "In the past, people have always been the fastest among the senior sisters, if it drags on any longer, ......"

"You...... What should I say about you! Qu Wuming felt a little hated that iron could not become steel, "It's been too long to have a smooth ride along the way, right?" Can't you tell the difference between speed and life is more important than your sisters and sisters?! Don't you know that you have received the murderous name of the black jade order? ”

"Didn't you take it too......" Han Ling'er pouted, looking like she had made a mistake but still had to find a reason for herself.

"I'm taking it because I have the certainty of surviving, you are not a dual cultivator of the Dharma body, and you have little experience in fighting people and exploring secret realms, and the Black Jade Order is too risky for you!"

"But...... I've already taken it, can I still quit? Han Ling'er saw that Qu Wuming said so seriously, and she had already retreated in her heart.

"You already signed the blood pact when you received the order, right?" Qu Wuming asked rhetorically with a frown.

"Hmm."

"The blood contract of the black jade order is very strange, if you choose to quit halfway, once the blood contract is triggered, I am afraid that it will be difficult to cultivate in the future......"

"What then...... Why don't I find a way to beg the owner of the Black Jade Order? ”

"Okay, then you say, who is the owner of the Black Jade Order?"

"This ...... I do not know. Brother Qu, do you know? ”

"The owner of the Black Jade Order has never appeared, I know where to go!" Qu Wuming sighed and said helplessly, "Okay, along the way, you follow me all the time, you can do whatever I tell you to do, don't act without permission!" ”

"Well, I knew you wouldn't leave me alone!" Han Ling'er had a smile on her face, got up and walked to Qu Wuming's side, grabbed his arm, and leaned on Qu Wuming's shoulder with a happy face.

……

Three days later, a black-robed man came to the Juxian Inn, but he didn't enter the house, but just stood under the high banner in the courtyard, held up a black jade token and said loudly:

"Please come and report to all of you with the Black Jade Order!"

"Please come and report to all of you with the Black Jade Order!"

"Please come and report to all of you with the Black Jade Order!"

The black-robed man shouted three times in a row, which naturally alarmed everyone in the inn.

Qu Wuming has been lingering in the room with Han Ling'er for the past few days, and he has never stepped out of the house for half a step. Hearing the sound at this time, he and Han Ling'er came to the inn courtyard with Han Ling'er dressed neatly, only to find that there were as many as eighteen people who were summoned by the black-robed man!

Among these eighteen people, except for an old man with a childish face and a young man who seemed to be a retinue, who should have arrived recently, the other sixteen people were actually people who had already checked into the inn.

Seeing that no one was approaching him except for those who stopped at the door of the inn to watch the excitement when he heard the sound, the black-robed man tapped his black jade plate a few times, and there was a buzz from the eighteen people around him, either on his body or in the storage ring, as if something was responding......
