Xiao Er came over with a pair of sleepy eyes, and Pei Ye explained to him to take good care of the mount.

Then he entered the door, and the moonlight was blocked out, and Pei Ye stood for a while before he got used to the darkness in the hall. Fortunately, there was still a candle flame in effect—the clumsy woman walked in with a candle, and a man sitting on a bench leaned against a pillar was reflected first.

He was in his thirties, slightly shorter than the woman who opened the door, and his body was covered in dust. Pei Ye didn't hear him speak just now, but when he saw Pei Li's gaze, he took the initiative to signal to the young man.

Pei Li smiled back.

And as the candle flame moved, another pair of feet were illuminated in the deeper darkness.

The man was lying on a bench, his calves completely submerged, and a cane at his feet resting against the wall—not a short cane for crutches, but a length to lean on.

The candlelit light took another step deeper before stopping at a table.

With this flick deeper, Pei Ye probably recognized the figure of this person - it was an old man who was not young.

These three were the only ones in the lobby, and there were bags piled up on the floor.

Seeing this scene, Pei Ye turned his head to Xiao Er and asked, "Is there no guest room?" ”

"Yes, guest officer, and there are two upper rooms!"

"How much does it cost to get into the room?"

"Three hundred wen a night guest officer." Xu saw the handsome horse, and Xiao Er had some expectations for the consumption power of the young man in front of him.

"No need, I'll sleep here like them, do I have to pay here?"

"Yes. Ten texts. ”

"Okay."

"I have to get up early tomorrow so that I can't disturb the guests."

"Okay, if you have anything to eat, give me some random pads to pad my stomach."

"There are leftover fried cabbage and two steamed buns, all of which are cold."

"Okay."

"There are nineteen Wen." Xiao Er yawned.

Pei Li counted out the copper plate for him, went to the table and sat down, stretched, and exhaled deeply.

Then he heard the man on the side laugh and said, "I have heard of the name of the Zhang family's "Waist Chopping Knife" in Xugu County for a long time, how could it not work." ”

Pei Li realized that he was picking up the woman's last sentence.

The woman touched her head with some restraint, as if she didn't know how to speak, and her eyes were only focused on the floor.

The man turned his head to Pei Ye and said, "Little brother is also in a hurry to travel at night?" Where did it come from? ”

"I'm here in Fenghuai." Pei Ye arched his hand.

The man was stunned for a moment before he smiled: "This is quite rare, what is the little brother going to do on this trip?" ”

"Catch up with the Golden Autumn Martial Arts Competition."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the lobby for a moment.

After a few breaths, the man laughed, raised his hand and tapped at himself, the woman and Pei Ye respectively: "The three of us, all of us." ”

This time it was Pei Ye's turn to be surprised, now that there is still some time before the martial arts competition, he is the training team that rushed to the martial arts hall, why did these two people come so early?

Facing Pei Li's puzzled gaze, the man said: "This girl is going to the 'Longmen Class' of the Changdao Martial Arts Hall, I want to rush to the state city to buy something, what about you, little brother?" ”

Pei Ye had already turned his head to look at the woman: "I also went to the 'Dragon Gate Class' of the Changdao Martial Arts Hall." ”

The woman looked up at him in surprise, and the man smiled, "That's a coincidence." ”

Pei Ye arched his hand: "My name is Pei Li, dare to ask the names of the two people." ”

"My name is Cheng Jianghong."

"My name is Zhang Junxue."

Pei Ye greeted each other and asked, "Which place are the two of you?" ”

"Sister Zhang is Xugu County, and I am Shao County."

Xu Gu, Pei Ye remembered what Master Huang said about "Zhengshou and Xu Valley", this county is half a mountain and half a plain, and it is half buried on the edge of the Xincang Mountain Range, but the mountains there have eased, and there is a trade route with Linzhou.

In order to confront it, the state government tilted a large number of martial arts resources to Xu Gu.

And Shao County is only better than Fenghuai, and it is also a remote place, Xugu, Fenghuai, Shenxian, and Shao County are actually the four northern counties often said in Bowangzhou.

Pei Ye nodded, and a question rose in his heart.

Feng Huai originally had a shortage of martial arts talents in recent years, but now he has suffered a big change, so although there are three places, he often looks at the whole county from afar, and only finds Pei Li a suitable person.

Because although theoretically, no matter how "short" the overall level is, you can always pull out a few relatively tall ones, but in fact, everyone still has a tacit line - unless the root bone is really very good, otherwise landlubbers and lifelong cultivators will not be qualified.

First, it is too embarrassing to be kicked down after going up, and secondly, in this kind of competition where everyone goes all out, the weak will always be more insecure.

Shao County is also remote, and it is possible if there is only one, but in a strong county like Xu Gu, is there only one person coming?

Pei Li thought of this, so he leaned over and asked the two.

"I'm alone." Cheng Jianghong smiled, "But Sister Zhang shouldn't be." ”

"Well, they'll come later."

Pei Ye knew - it seems that this "Longmen class" is not the treatment that Xu Gu prepared for each of the elected, but the price paid by Zhang Junxue herself.

"Sister Zhang is a top-notch fourth-year-old, and now she has applied for the Longmen class again, so this time she is aiming for the top four."

Zhang Junxue snorted, noncommittal.

Pei Ye glanced at the woman, and the black eyes under the broken hair were still looking at the ground. She doesn't seem to be shy and reserved, but she is used to avoiding these interactions because she is clumsy.

Pei Ye took over the conversation and said, "What about Big Brother Cheng?" What is the goal this time? ”

"Me, haha, sixteen is enough." Cheng Jiang Hong smiled.

Pei Ye smiled and nodded-well, it seems that he also wants to protect eight and four.

This has not yet entered the state city, and as soon as he came out of the mountain, he met two strong players.

Suddenly, an old man's voice sounded, this voice was normal and even kind, but suddenly it seemed a little strange in the darkness, and Pei Li's breathing couldn't help but stop.

The old man didn't sit up, he lay down and laughed twice, and said hoarsely: "You are better than her." ”

Cheng Jianghong was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Uncle, I don't dare to say that I will win against Sister Zhang." ”

"Really? Why not give it a try. ”

“.”

Cheng Jianghong was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.

Knowing that it is an opponent, who is willing to show his bottom at this time?

But the old man was puzzled, and threw a thumb-sized object at the table in the candlelight, and it fell on the table and turned around twice and stopped, but it was a small porcelain bottle.

"I know what you're buying." The old man said, "In six or seven days, there will be a 'Ascending Pill' refined by the Quanzhen Sect to the state city, this pill is used to urge the meridian tree to merge, and you want to fight to break through to the realm of five lives, isn't it?" ”

"Yes." Cheng Jianghong smiled helplessly, "My father-in-law's eyes are like torches, and this time he has made up all his net worth, because he wants to try to win this pill." ”

"There's a Ascending Pill in this bottle." The old man smiled and said amazingly, "Let's take it as the lottery head for this competition." ”

There was silence in the lobby for a while.

"Old, old. Don't joke with your predecessors. ”

Cheng Jianghong moved his body, his eyes glued to the small porcelain bottle.

The Ascending Pill is not a divine elixir, but it is definitely a treasure pill.

The way it urges the meridian tree to merge is not wonderful, it still follows the law of "overflowing and living" of the meridian tree itself, that is, infusing energy into it, and the essence is no different from the normal cultivation of a martial artist.

It is similar to the food pill taken by the true people of the Holy Land Sect, it is the aggregation of energy, but the process of taking effect is different, the essence of the food pill is a further food, and it still penetrates the texture from the stomach. And the effect of the Ascending Pill involves the ingredient of "Dantian Bridge", which is a true cultivation pill that is directly aimed at the meridian tree.

In addition, the nature of the food pill is mild, and it can be swallowed as food for a long time, but the ascending pill is different, it is a medicine and not food, the nature is more violent, the energy is more intense, and the effect is more prominent. It is better for a warrior to swallow one at the birth stage, and two is at most.

Such a Dan will start in one hundred taels during this period of time on the eve of the martial arts.

"No jokes, I will meet friends with martial arts, and I am a member of my generation." The old man said in a man's voice, "Counting this young man, if the three of them are willing to compete, this Dan will be given to the winner." ”
