At this time, it was already noon, Kong Xiong and Xu Huaigu were walking on the street, Xu Huaigu was walking in front alone, and the man was following behind him.

Kong Xiong was shocked by Xu Huaigu's cultivation and the endless treasures today, and he didn't seem to have come back to his senses, so he just walked behind Xu Huaigu silently, not daring to come forward to talk.

Xu Huaigu turned his face and said to him, "What's the matter, why don't you come to the front?" The man was sullen: "Brother Xu, you are really a little unrighteous, since they are all sword cultivators of the Three Realms, I didn't even say it yesterday, so I said the wrong thing last night, and I must have lost face in front of your group." Xu Huaigu smiled faintly and said, "How can there be?" You should have been in the limelight yesterday. The man pursed his lips and said, "Nonsense, you must have been laughing at me last night, after all, compared to you, the monks in my realm really don't know how bad they are." Xu Huaigu became solemn at this time and said, "Do you really think that's the case? Then I'll tell you a secret. Xu Huaigu whispered: "This is really a big secret, you must not tell others." The man nodded in confusion, approached Xu Huaigu, and said, "Brother Xu, say it." Although my Kong Xiong's realm is not enough, there is still the most basic bottom line of being a man, if you don't want me to say it, I will never say it. Xu Huaigu asked him in a low voice, "Do you remember the woman in white who toasted you last night?" The man nodded heavily and said, "Yes." Xu Huaigu smiled evilly and said, "Is it good-looking?" The man's face was stunned, and he seemed a little embarrassed, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

In the end, he hesitated and said, "Good-looking, really good-looking, to be honest, I have never seen such a beautiful woman." Then Kong Xiong asked Xu Huaigu enviously: "Is it your wife?" Xu Huaigu hurriedly looked around and found that there were no acquaintances, so he whispered a warning: "Just say this to my face, don't tell anyone else, otherwise we will die." Kong Xiong suddenly realized, and also laughed evilly: "It turns out that Little Brother Xu, you secretly like that woman, but with your appearance as a young talent, and a promising sword cultivator, that woman will be caught sooner or later, don't worry." Xu Huaigu shook his head and told him: "Nonsense, it's not that I like her." The man was puzzled: "Then what are you telling me about that woman?" Xu Huaigu kept his voice as low as possible and said, "Actually, the woman who gave you that glass of wine last night was a sword cultivator of the Six Realms. The man's face was still confused, thinking that he had heard it wrong, so he got closer to Xu Huaigu and said, "Your voice is louder, I can't hear it clearly." Xu Huaigu said, "I said that woman is a Six Realms Sword Cultivator. The man heard it clearly, but he was stunned for a long time, laughed violently, patted Xu Huaigu on the shoulder, and said with a presumptuous smile: "Hahaha, Brother Xu, I know you lied to me." Although my Kong Xiong's realm is poor, I can still hear such an obvious lie. That woman is only in her early twenties, can she have six realms? Kong Xiong patted his chest and promised, "Can there be such a young Six Realms Sword Cultivator in this world?" Definitely not! Xu Huaigu smiled bitterly, shook his head helplessly, and said, "If you don't believe it, don't believe it, whatever you want." The man pursed his lips and said, "Brother Xu, although your cultivation is higher than mine, your moral character is really not as good as my Kong Xiong." You're not a kind person, I don't believe it. Xu Huaigu wrote lightly: "If you don't believe it, don't believe it, just take it as a joke and just listen to it." But then we told them early in the morning that we would go to the restaurant called Shi Yeping to eat hot pot in the afternoon, do you remember? Kong Xiong smiled and said, "Of course I remember, I have been hungry for the venison hot pot there for a long time, but I don't have the money to eat it once." Xu Huaigu smiled and said, "Haha, then let's go, I'll pay for a treat!" The man hurriedly agreed, "Then let's go quickly!" Xu Huaigu turned his head, took a few steps forward, and shouted with a smile: "Let's go!" Kong Xiong hurriedly followed, so the two walked side by side on the Lucheng trail.

The winter afternoon sun is just warm, sprinkled on this small city, and it turns into light spots everywhere, beautiful and warm.

…… The steaming hot pot kept bubbling, and the surrounding people were boiling and noisy. This restaurant is a very chaotic environment, but at this time, it seems to be very harmonious in Xu Huaigu's ears.

This is the most simple place in a small mountain town, down-to-earth. Everyone shows their truest side, no guessing, no calculation, only the happiness of getting together to eat a hot pot.

The hot pot in front of Xu Huaigu was a red sand stone pot, and a few pieces of burning red charcoal were placed at the bottom of the sand stone pot, and the flames came out of the mouth of the hot pot, which was very lively.

And in the gravel pot was a piece of bright red chili oil, which was wrapped in peppercorns and cumin, and among them was black hairy belly and boiled venison.

The most authentic aroma of venison came to the face, burrowing into the tip of everyone's nose here, spicy and fragrant, which was called a pleasure.

The five of them were itchy by the smell of this hot pot, and they didn't care about any monks or monks, and kept putting down their chopsticks, just sending large pieces of venison into their mouths, even if their tongues were burned.

Although Xu Huaigu is not very spicy, this venison hot pot is really delicious, and he still insists on holding on to the chopsticks, as if someone wants to grab it from him, so soon he was so spicy that he couldn't do it, his face was flushed, and he breathed heavily, and he no longer had the vulgar temperament in the government before.

The venison is crispy and peppery in the mouth, and the slightest hint of pepper hemp spreads on the tip of the tongue, and then the unique fragrance of the venison will fill the mouth, which is endless.

Among the five people, Kong Xiong's eating appearance is the most ugly. He only cared about putting venison in his mouth, and did not say a word, often the first piece of meat was still in the stomach, and the next piece was already delivered to his mouth.

In addition, this venison hot pot was originally hot and spicy, and soon he was sweating profusely and his mouth was covered with chili oil.

Huang Shan also likes to eat, but the most reluctant thing for him is wine. He raised his glass and drank a sip of Lucheng's local liquor, then picked up a piece of meat, put it to his mouth and blew it, put it into his mouth, and said happily: "Don't say it, this Lucheng hot pot is really worthy of its reputation, and it will be addictive as soon as you eat it." Anyway, since I practiced, I have never eaten such a delicious thing except for the wine and food of the fairy family, and Zuoqiu Xunyou has really come to the right place this time. Zuo Qiuxun ate much more elegantly, she picked up a piece of hairy belly, dipped it in the sauce, took a bite, chewed it slowly before replying, "Right?" Compared with cultivation, there is no lack of new and interesting things in the world. In the future, if you have the opportunity, you should eat more delicious food, drink some good wine, and see some good scenery. Her expression froze suddenly, and she whispered, "After all, God knows which day she will have to die." Huang Shan took another sip of wine, shook his head and said, "It's not very auspicious for Zuoqiu to find you, everyone gathers together, what kind of dead words?" Don't care about these for now, eat meat in large chunks and drink wine first! Zuo Qiuxun ignored him and asked Xu Huaigu beside him: "Today you went to the government to talk about catching ghosts, how is it?" Xu Huaigu said: "I have already agreed with the government, as long as we pick a day to catch ghosts, the government will send someone to assist." Immediately, Xu Huaigu said in Xinhu: "But we have to speed up our movements, and there are still five days left in the January period agreed with Yi Yun." After doing this, you have to hurry to Baihai, after all, I promised people that it was not good for a little girl to go so far alone, so it is not good to make people wait. Zuoqiu Xun also sent a voice back: "It's okay, in fact, most of the ghosts live in groups, this Lucheng and Lichuan Mountain are only separated by less than a hundred miles, and they are also very close to the White Sea, and most of the ghosts who make trouble here are just branches of the ghosts in Lichuan Mountain." We can hide our strength, start the investigation from here, and follow the vine, it will naturally be easier to find out the situation of the ghosts in Lichuan Mountain. Xu Huaigu suddenly realized: "It turns out that you asked me to help catch ghosts in Lucheng have such a meaning, but I didn't think much about it before." Zuo Qiu Xun said flatly: "It's good to know, you can do this matter seriously, and take it as a sharpening for you." The ghosts here are not too strong, they should be around the four realms, and you can still deal with it, so I won't help easily. Xu Huaigu nodded in agreement.

He picked up a piece of venison and brought it to his mouth, and was just about to eat it when he heard a cacophony of the crowd, and immediately looked at the center of the lobby in confusion.

In the center of the hall is a building that looks like a small stage, there is a small table on the stage, and in front of the small table stands a white-bearded old storyteller, wearing a pitch-black robe, at this time he is holding a piece of waking wood in his hand and waving excitedly, and there are words in his mouth: "But I saw that the martial artist surnamed Lin scolded angrily, 'Demon, where to run?' It's a punch like a rainbow. It is said that although this Lin Wufu is a martial artist who does not understand spells, his voice is extremely loud, and the snake demon just heard the roar, and his sanity dissipated a little, not to mention the punch with all his strength, and he suddenly spat blood in his mouth, and flew a long way before stopping......" As soon as Xu Huaigu heard it, he knew that it was another cliché old story, and he felt bored, but the other customers in this restaurant were very excited, and some even stood up impatiently, and asked first: "Later, the snake demon died like this?" Is that Xu Gongzi married that white girl?! Someone was indignant and said, "What a poignant love story, but it was stirred up by that stupid martial artist!" The snake demon and Xu Gongzi are in love, why can't they come together? A woman sobbed in a low voice and said, "If the snake demon can't get together with Xu Gongzi in the end, I don't believe in love in my life, and I will die lonely and old, so I don't want to marry." "Reading the book, the people in those small towns have never seen the world, so it doesn't matter if they are attracted, but Xu Huaigu even saw that Yu Qin was also fascinated by the story, and his attention was all on the story, so he had to shake his head helplessly.

But the high-profile storyteller lived up to expectations, and after sinister laughter, he apologized and said: "This is the end of today's story, if you want to know what will happen next, please come on time tomorrow." The crowd sighed.

One person jumped to his feet and scolded: "You cunning old man, every time you say that the next time you will decompose, I have been here for four days in a row, and I don't see you finish telling this story, are you partnering with a restaurant to make money?" The storyteller pretended not to hear it, and Youzai Youzai walked off the stage, which immediately caused the crowd to boo.

Zuoqiu Xunxu was interested, and he also followed the crowd and coaxed: "I've heard this story, don't listen to him, listen to me, I know the ending!" The old man was anxious and looked at Zuo Qiu Xun, but Zuo Qiu Xun didn't see it, and continued to stand there, waiting for someone to ask questions.
