Chapter 10024: Strange Old Man
As soon as those dishes were eaten, Mu Linkong's eyes lit up, Mu Linkong, who was accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, now tasted these ordinary side dishes and had a different flavor, plus the dishes on that table tasted really good, which also made Mu Linkong join the ranks of snatching.
When the two of them finished eating the dishes on that table, Ye Lingtian took out another pot of wine and drank it leisurely, while Mu Linkong said pitifully: "Master, your old man can also give me some points!"
Seeing that Mu Linkong was going to compete with him for wine, Ye Lingtian immediately waved his hand and said impatiently: "Go, stay with the child, how old are you, what kind of wine do you drink?" Besides, this is what your family brews, didn't your mother prepare some for you when you left?"
"My mother has prepared some for me, but I have given them to you, Master! Besides, I have been drinking since I was a child, and I don't see my father scolding me, Master, you can give me some!"
Mu Linkong was like a child at this time, and grabbed Ye Lingtian's sleeve.
Ye Lingtian, who was really impatient, had to give him a pot of the worst wine in the end, but this wine was drunk in Ye Lingtian's opinion, but in such a small inn, it could definitely be the treasure of the town.
Just as the two of them were drinking wine, the little second also took back the change fairy stone.
However, Ye Lingtian had already decided to stay in Ningguang Star for a few more days, so he immediately said, "Those immortal stones will be placed here first, and help us open two upper rooms, and we will stay here for a few days." ”
"Okay, Immortal, wait a minute. The little ones are going to prepare. ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he was overjoyed and ran to the back hall, for such an inn, it was all ordinary immortals, in order to save immortal stones, most of those ordinary immortals also chose ordinary rooms, and now Ye Lingtian asked for two upper rooms, which undoubtedly made this inn have a lot of income.
Ye Lingtian said calmly: "See, this is the bottom of the immortal realm, in your opinion, a high-grade immortal stone that is not worth mentioning at all, in their eyes, it is undoubtedly a treasure." You have to know that there are little two shops like this. But it takes a few months to earn a high-grade immortal stone. From this, you should know the gap between the fairy world!"
Mu Linkong looked surprised, his eyes widened and he asked, "Master, no, is it really so precious for ordinary immortals?"
"You are a full man, and you don't know that a hungry man is hungry. You must know that fairy stones are not only used to buy things. That's also essential for practice. If only you were born into an ordinary family. There are no things that help you cultivate, and there are no immortal stones for you to cultivate, no matter how good your qualifications are. I'm sure you won't be able to get to where you are today in thousands of years. ”
Ye Lingtian shrugged his shoulders, and it was self-evident.
Just when the two of them finished their meal and were about to go out for a walk, there was a noise at the counter of the inn, and looking at the location where the sound appeared, Ye Lingtian and Mu Linkong saw that several ordinary immortals were surrounding a thin old man in tattered clothes, with white hair and a wrinkled face, who was no different from a beggar, and there was a tendency to be ready to do it if he didn't say a word.
"How can they do this!"
Mu Linkong said dissatisfied, and immediately prepared to help.
Ye Lingtian quickly pulled him back to his seat, and said lightly: "Have you forgotten what I told you just now? You don't even know what happened, so you're ready to go up and help, I really don't know if you're righteous, or if you're looking for trouble?"
"Am I just going to watch those people bully an unarmed old man like this? This is what we righteous people should do!"
Mu Lin looked at Ye Lingtian in confusion, and really didn't understand why Ye Lingtian wanted to stop him.
Ye Lingtian didn't talk nonsense with Mu Linkong, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you see that so many people here didn't move? Obviously, this kind of thing is not once or twice, we just just watched from the sidelines." Remember what I once said, you can't just look at the surface of things, it is not necessarily the old man who is bullied, and it is not necessarily the few people who surround him. ”
At this moment, there was also a quarrel at the counter of the inn, and the immortals said angrily: "Dead old man, last time our brothers saw that you borrowed a medium-grade immortal stone from you, but you are good, you have disappeared for so long after taking the immortal stone, let us meet it today, you have to return that immortal stone to us no matter what!"
"You can do it, I really don't have half a fairy stone on me! If I had, I would have returned it to you. ”
The old man knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, if anyone with a little conscience was embarrassed to force it any further.
It's just that those immortals didn't seem to have encountered this kind of thing for the first time, they didn't hesitate at all, and said viciously: "Old man, don't cry poor in front of our brothers, don't think that we don't know your details, and it's not once or twice that you have deceived people in this Ningguang City." I tell you, if you don't return that immortal stone to us today, then you don't want to leave this place. ”
Seeing that those immortals didn't eat him, the old man immediately changed his strategy and said, "I really forgot to take the immortal stone out today, or you wait first, I'll go home and bring it to a few of you right away." ”
"Hmph! let you go, then you won't run away as soon as you get out. Our brother is not an unreasonable person, so let's follow you back to get the fairy stone, as long as you return that piece of medium-grade fairy stone to us, we will not be responsible for the previous things. ”
The immortals discussed for a moment, and then said with a calm face.
As soon as he heard that those immortals were going back with him, the old man immediately shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I can't hide a few of them today, so I'll tell you the truth! I don't even have a single immortal stone at home, even if you go back with me, it is impossible to return to the immortal stone." ”
"What? Dead old man, you dare to lie to us to see that I don't break your legs. ”
The immortal who took the lead immediately kicked the old man a few times, and the old man didn't know how to dodge at all, but just held his head tightly in the corner.
Mu Linkong, who had been watching from the sidelines, stood up directly, regardless of Ye Lingtian's objections, and immediately walked up, stopping the immortal from beating him like this again, and took out a high-grade immortal stone from the storage ring, and said lightly: "I will help him pay back the money he owes you, if you kill again, it will not be good." ”
Seeing that someone was willing to help the old man repay the money, the immortals didn't say much, and after looking for Mu Linkong and giving Mu Linkong nine medium-grade immortal stones, they left the inn directly.
Mu Linkong walked to the old man's side at this time, put the nine medium-grade immortal stones in front of him, and said softly: "Old man, there are a few immortal stones here, I borrowed them, you can take them and go home! Don't do this kind of thing in the future, otherwise if you have any three long and two short, it will be too late to regret it." ”
The old man didn't say much, and after taking a deep look at Mu Linkong, he picked up the fairy stone and ran out of the restaurant, where did he look a little injured.
After doing this, Mu Linkong returned to Ye Lingtian's side with a happy face, and said proudly: "Master, how did I do just now, it's majestic enough!"
Ye Lingtian didn't even think about it, he directly gave him a burst of chestnuts and scolded: "Majestic, majestic, fart, you take my words as wind in your ears, who allowed you to do this? Stinky boy, it's only been a long time, and you don't even listen to my words." Hmph, if there is a next time for such a thing, then you can get me out of the house. ”
Mu Linkong was suddenly stupefied by Ye Lingtian's scolding, since he met Ye Lingtian, Ye Lingtian had never scolded him like today.
"Master, the disciple is obviously doing good deeds, but he has done nothing wrong!"
"That's right, I think you're very wrong!"
Ye Lingtian tilted his head to the side very dissatisfied, and no longer looked at Mu Linkong.
Mu Linkong didn't see it just now, but Ye Lingtian clearly discovered that the old man was unarmed, just with his cultivation in the early stage of the Golden Immortal, coupled with his unique concealment techniques, not to mention the immortals in this inn, even if it was the entire Ning Guang Star, there were very few people who could find his cultivation.
It was precisely because he didn't know the origin of that old man that Ye Lingtian didn't act rashly, otherwise, with his personality, he would have gone up to stop it long ago when he saw such a thing, where would it be Mu Lin's turn to make a move.
It's just that Ye Lingtian didn't bother to explain to Mu Linkong, after all, his anger hadn't subsided at this time, and he was still worried about what happened just now.
Mu Linkong sat beside Ye Lingtian stupidly like this, and Ye Lingtian's reaction was undoubtedly a big blow to him.
He couldn't figure out what he had done wrong, did he really want to watch that old man being beaten to death?
However, after thinking about it for a while, Mu Linkong finally had to apologize to Ye Lingtian: "Master, I'm sorry, the apprentice knows that he is wrong. In the future, the apprentices will definitely listen to the master's words and will never act recklessly. ”
Ye Lingtian, who had been drinking for a long time, had a lot of anger in his heart, and said: "This is what you said yourself, I don't want to say what I just said a second time, you can remember it clearly for me word by word." ”
After being furious, Ye Lingtian had no interest in continuing to play, and went back to his room directly, and then quietly thought about the cause and effect of the incident just now.
For a master in the early stage of the Golden Immortal, appearing here pretending to be a beggar, Ye Lingtian also felt very strange.
Such a master, no matter where he goes, he is the object of honor of various families, but he will be beaten violently because he owes a few immortals with low cultivation a medium-grade immortal stone, this kind of thing can't make sense.
As a master, he should have the dignity of a master, but that old man not only didn't even have the dignity he should have, but he was also so downtrodden, which also made Ye Lingtian suspicious.
Ye Lingtian, who had been thinking about it for a long time, still didn't have a clue, and in the end, he also put these questions behind him and fell asleep directly. (To be continued......)
