Li Ling went all the way to the north, and it took more than two months to walk.

On this day, the long journey finally stopped, and Li Ling looked down at the stone tablet in front of him, which was engraved with the word "Yongzhou".

"This is already the junction of Yanzhou and Yongzhou, and after the boundary monument, it is Yongzhou." With that, Li Ling untied the red lacquer gourd around his waist, then took a few sips of wine, and then continued to the north.

……

In Yongzhou, Qinghe Town, a young man wearing a gray coarse cotton coat and a dusty face was slowly walking north along the main street in the town.

The young man is Li Ling who came all the way from Yanzhou, and this journey is obviously very hard, exposed to the wind and sun, eating and drinking, Li Ling's whole person looks a lot thinner and darker, but this is also the most enjoyable trip in Li Ling's life.

In the past, Li Ling, as the prince of Nanping, went out in a car and sat in a sedan chair and was accompanied by others, how could he ever suffer such a living crime? But this time, Li Ling walked down on his own feet and his own perseverance, and only the wine gourd on his waist accompanied him, and the happiness and excitement on the way could only be experienced by Li Ling himself.

Suddenly, Li Ling stopped in front of an ordinary shop, then looked up at the high mountain in the distance, and said in his heart: "Qinghe Town, the most famous town in Yongzhou, is not because this town is special, but because this town is adjacent to the first mountain in Yongzhou - Yunshan, the so-called mountain is not high, there are immortals, and the reason why Yunshan is famous is because of a sect on the mountain - Yunshan Tianji Dao!" Tianji Dao is the head of the Kyushu Dao Sect, the leader of the world Taoism, even if the emperors of the major countries in Kyushu have to give three points to the Tianji Dao. The high mountain in the distance is probably Yunshan. ”

"Guest officer, are you going to Yunshan Heavenly Machine Dao?" A guy from the hotel greeted him and asked with a smile.

Li Ling looked at the guy next to him, nodded, and said, "Yes!" I really want to go to Yunshan, I don't know how far away it is from Yunshan? ”

"Guest officer, you are a foreigner! You also came thousands of miles to Yunshan to learn art! This is right, our Qinghe town is the last town leading to Yunshan Tianji Road, here is about half a day away from Yunshan, most of the people who go up the mountain to learn the art will stay in this town for a night, take a short rest, and then climb the mountain the next day. ”

"Oh? Half a day? It seems that you won't be able to catch up with Yunshan before sunset! ”

"Yes, guest officer! It is a big deal to go up the mountain to apprentice, Tianji Dao is the first way in Kyushu, the head of the Taoist sect in the world, the sect is also extremely strict, and there are many tests, if the physical strength is not good, in my opinion, you still rest in this store for a night, and then rush tomorrow morning! This store is an old store in Qinghe, the store is clean and tidy, the price is fair, and the famous Qinghe good wine, I think you are still ......"

Without waiting for the shop guy to finish speaking, Li Ling smiled faintly and said, "I think you are mistaken, I went to Yunshan to learn the arts, but I didn't go to learn the arts!" So you don't need any physical strength, and you don't need to go through any tests! ”

"Oh? Didn't the guest officer go to Yunshan to apprentice? Then why did you go to Yunshan? ”

"I have long heard that Yunshan Liquor 'Immortal Poured' is famous in Kyushu, and even the immortals in the sky will be drunk when you take a sip of wine, so I came to taste it and see if this wine is worthy of its reputation?"

"What? Immortals poured? You went to Yunshan just to drink? You must have come from far away, right? Is it just for a sip of wine? ”

Li Ling smiled at the shopkeeper and asked, "Otherwise, what do you say I'm for?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was speechless for a while, and his face showed a trace of disappointment.

Seeing this, Li Ling smiled helplessly and continued: "Okay, since you said that you have good wine in this store, of course I still want to taste it." Then, if I get drunk, it's inevitable to stay overnight. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face instantly improved, and then he said excitedly: "Okay! Guest, please go inside! Good wine and good food will arrive soon! ”

After that, Li Ling walked towards the store under the guidance of the shop guys, but as soon as he reached the door, a beggar was driven out by the people in the hotel and happened to crash into Li Ling's arms.

The shopkeeper watched the beggar bump into Li Ling, and scolded: "Where did the stinky beggar come from, don't let me get away, don't disturb our business." ”

The beggar glanced up at Li Ling and the shopkeeper, then lowered his head and left the hotel in a gloomy manner.

Li Ling looked at the beggar who had gone away, sighed helplessly, and then looked at the shopkeeper opposite coldly, and said unhappily: "You don't have to be like this, no one in this world wants to be a beggar, there is a reason why they are poor, become beggars, and beg along the street, but all in all, they are still a group of poor people, I hope you will not be like this in the future, just do good deeds." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face was embarrassed, and then he said helplessly: "Guest officer, you don't know, this group of beggars is very hateful, they specialize in stealing ......."

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to finish speaking, Li Ling stopped paying attention to him and walked into the store alone, and then, the shopkeeper could only shake his head helplessly and followed in.

The small shop is not big, but it is very clean, there are a total of six tables downstairs, and Li Ling picked a table by the window and sat down.

After sitting down, Li Ling raised his eyes and saw that there was a young woman sitting on a table opposite, the woman was dressed in green, with a graceful figure, especially those eyes, which were full of agility, which made people unforgettable for a lifetime. It's a pity that the woman has been covering her face with a light veil, so that people can't get a glimpse of the woman's face, but it is precisely because of this that people have infinite fantasies and can't stop.

Just as Li Ling was observing, the woman in green suddenly stood up, slowly walked to Li Ling's table, and yelled at Li Ling without warning.

"Where did you come from to be a prodigal thief, how dare you be so rude to this girl, be careful that I gouge out your eyes!" Although the woman's voice is beautiful, it has three more points of domineering, three points of anger and three points of fierceness, so that no matter how beautiful the voice is, it will become the roar of the Hedong lion.

Hearing this, Li Ling hurriedly got up and apologized: "I'm sorry, girl, I offended the girl!" It's just because the girl's eyes are very similar to a friend of mine, so I ...... just now"

"Friends?" The woman in green wondered.

"Not bad! Friends, very good friends! It's a pity that in the end, she died because of me, so I ......" Speaking of this, a blonde woman appeared in Li Ling's mind, and the woman's last look was something he could never forget in his life.

Looking at Li Ling's distracted appearance, the green woman shook her head slightly, and then said slowly: "Okay, I'll spare you for the time being!" If you're thinking about it, watch your eyes! With that, the green woman sat back in her seat.

At this time, Li Ling's wine and food were also served, crispy chicken, steamed sturgeon, Sixi meatballs, braised beef, and a pot of wine. Li Ling first picked up the wine jug on the table, poured a full glass, and then drank it all.

"Good wine, good wine, it's been a long time since I've had such a good wine! Blessed today! With that, Li Ling began to eat and drink.

Half an hour later, Li Ling was full of wine and food, summoned the shopkeeper, and ordered: "Okay, let's settle the bill!" ”

The guy at the store looked at the wine and food on the table, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, a total of two taels of silver!" ”

Li Ling nodded and said with a smile: "Well, it's good, the wine and food are very good!" With that, Li Ling reached into his arms and planned to take out the money bag, but as soon as he took it out, Li Ling's face changed.

"Why is my purse missing? Could it be ......" At this time, Li Ling thought of bumping into his beggar when he entered the door of the small shop.

Seeing that Li Ling's face was wrong, the shopkeeper was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" Sir? You look for it slowly, don't be in a hurry! ”

Li Ling sighed helplessly, and said lightly: "Don't look for it, my money bag has been stolen." ”

"Guest! What do you mean by that? Don't make such jokes, the shop is a small business, and it doesn't take credit! ”

"My money bag was indeed stolen, I guess it was when I entered the door just now......"

But before Li Ling finished speaking, the shopkeeper's face changed, and then he counted coldly.

"Guest! Don't talk about those useless ones, didn't you still think I scolded those stinky beggars just now? Well, now I finally know my kindness! Hum! But paying for meals is a matter of course, and you want to leave now after eating white food? ”

"So what do you say?" Li Ling's face gradually sank.

The shopkeeper looked at the burden behind Li Ling, smiled coldly, and said, "In this case, I can only wronged you, you open your burden, and we will see if there are any valuable things that can be used to offset the account." ”

When Li Ling heard this, he frowned, and snorted coldly: "There are nothing valuable in the baggage, they are all some miscellaneous items that I use on weekdays!" ”

"Whether it's a sundry or not, you don't count! If you don't hand it over, you're sorry! At this moment, four or five shopkeepers surrounded Li Ling at the same time.

Although Li Ling has been taught by others since he was a child, he has practiced some methods of practicing qi, but those are just some mantras for strengthening his body, so although Li Ling's body is stronger than ordinary people, he does not know martial arts at all, and now, surrounded by four or five big men, how can he get out safely.

At this moment, the woman in green sitting opposite Li Ling shouted loudly and said, "What? Are you opening a hotel or a martial arts hall? Do you still want to beat people? Do you think that there is no royal law in the world? ”

The shopkeeper squinted at the woman opposite, and sneered: "Where did the stinky girl come from, get out of the way for me, don't get in the way here." ”

When the woman in green heard this, her heart became angry, and she said coldly: "Good slave, didn't your boss teach you etiquette?" Today, my aunt and grandmother will teach you a lesson for your boss. lest you look down on people again in the future! ”

After that, I saw the figure of the woman in green in the field moving, and the green shadow shuttled between several big men, and it was closed in a moment. Subsequently, several big men fell to the ground, and then, the store suddenly sounded like a pig-killing scream.

Seeing this, the woman nodded proudly and said with a smile: "I will be punished a little today, and I will not be spared if I commit it again next time." With that, the woman in green took out a piece of silver from her bosom and put it on the table, and continued: "That stinky boy's wine and food are counted in my account, you guys get out of here!" Then the green woman got up in a hurry and left the shop.

All this happened in an instant, and before Li Ling could react, the woman in green had already brushed her sleeves away. Seeing this, Li Ling hurriedly shouted, "Girl, wait a minute!" With that, Li Ling also chased out, leaving only a few big men still on the ground and howling in pain.
