"Xiao Lao, I don't know how to drink this wine?" Lu An drank another glass of wine.

"Oh, why do you want to drink it too?" Old Xiao looked at Lu An interestingly.

Lu An nodded, and Xue Nian listened to this, he didn't know what the two were talking about, and wanted to speak, but he shrank back and looked at the two of them with blank eyes.

"I can't drink this wine if I want to, although I am quite optimistic about you, but you are still qualified now. Old Xiao shook his head and replied.

"Then how am I qualified?" Lu An then asked.

Lao Xiao rested his feet on the bench, thought for a while, and then replied: "You can drink if you want, the top ten on the white list, you are still enough, and you are still a little short." ”

"Old Xiao, where am I now?" Lu An was a little interested.

"It's about twenty, it's not up to me to say this, I can only give a rough number. Lao Xiao said seriously.

Hearing this, Lu An paused, scratched his chin, and said happily, "Is it so tall?"

Lao Xiao glanced at him, and after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that it was too high, but he thought it was low, and he was ready to fight for it, and then snorted coldly: "Are you sarcastic about what I said?"

Lu An hurriedly apologized, "Elder Xiao, you are joking, how dare I sarcastically mock the Grandmaster of Xiaoyao Pavilion." ”

Xue Nian sat down directly from the bench, stunned there, and didn't get up for a long time.

"You kid is good, but you are not a good apprentice, and your vision is too poor. Lao Xiao glanced at Xue Nian on the ground with disdain.

Lu An scooped up Xue Nian, who was sitting on the ground, and then replied respectfully: "I haven't agreed yet, it's just his wishful thinking." ”

Xue Nian was immediately anxious, but because of the presence of the grandmaster, he didn't dare to say a word.

Looking at Xue Nian's unspeakable appearance, Lao Xiao laughed, "It's okay, it seems that he still knows a little bit of the rules, but his face is not very good." ”

Lu An glanced at Lao Xiao suspiciously, and then looked at Xue Nian, who was sulking, as if he thought of something, patted Xue Nian, and said, "You go back first." ”

Although Xue Nian was very reluctant, he was helpless, twisted twice, and was glared at by Lu An twice, so he could only leave first.

After Xue Nian left, Lu An asked solemnly: "Elder Xiao, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, although he is not my apprentice, he is also my friend." ”

Lao Xiao smacked twice, looked at Lu An's eyes with a hint of sympathy, sighed, licked his tongue, took off the towel on his shoulder, and wiped the table in front of him that was wet with wine.

Lu An frowned and looked at Lao Xiao's movements, very puzzled, stunned for a long time, and then dumbfounded and reacted. took out ten spirit crystals from his arms, handed them over, and said with a smile: "It's really the first time I've done business with Xiaoyao Pavilion, so I don't know the rules too well." ”

Lao Xiao looked at the spirit crystal on the table, glanced at it, and continued to sigh without speaking.

When Lu An saw Lao Xiao's expression, he was directly sulked in his chest, and he took out another twenty spirit crystals without smiling.

When Lao Xiao saw the thirty spirit crystals on the table, he immediately smiled and said with a smile: "It seems that you are indeed the first time, then I won't care about it, otherwise according to my charge, it will start with fifty spirit crystals, and today will be equivalent to giving you a discount." ”

Lu An smiled awkwardly, but the blue tendons on his forehead still exposed Lu An's anger.

"Young man, don't be so angry, since you want to ask someone to do something, you must pay something, not to mention that this kind of thing is the most worthless. Lao Xiao rolled all the spirit crystals on the table into his sleeves.

"Since you have received the spirit crystal, then now Elder Xiao can explain it, right?" Lu An said with relief.

Lao Xiao looked at Lu An, who had calmed down, and praised it, "Well, Qi cultivation kung fu is good, your ranking in my heart has gone up a little bit, at least you can rank nineteen." ”

"Oh, if that's the case, wouldn't I be in the top ten if I spent a spirit crystal essence?" Lu An said with a smile.

Lao Xiao touched his beard and replied tactfully: "It's not impossible." ”

Then the two looked at each other, and suddenly they each burst out laughing.

"Elder Xiao, the joke has been made, now we can talk about the right thing, right?" asked Lu An.

Lao Xiao nodded and replied with appreciation: "I find that I like you more and more, but are you sure you want to change your life for him?"

Lu An was stunned, opened his mouth, and asked in surprise, "Change your life?"

Lao Xiao nodded and replied: "This son's eyes are fierce and tenacious, his pupils are black and white, he has three white eyes, his eyebrows are raised, and he is aggressive. ”

"Isn't that good?" asked Lu An puzzled.

"Xiaoxiong, it's a pity that it can't die well. Lao Xiao continued.

Lu An chuckled and asked, "Why?"

"Born with evil spirits in his body, he looks like a lone star, can he die well in the future?"

Lu An was silent and sighed in a low voice, "Is there anything that Xiao Lao can do?"

"Method? This kind of natural thing, I can't help it, I can only see if there is a good person to guide him, if he is unlucky, he can take a wrong step, a wrong step, fortunately, this kid did not take the road of cultivation, otherwise in more than ten years, there will be a big devil on the rivers and lakes, alas. Lao Xiao also sighed.

"No, is it so serious?" Lu An still didn't believe it.

"Hmph, believe it or not, do you think they're all the same as you? Old Xiao snorted coldly.

Lu An sat there, carefully recalling what Lao Xiao said, and did not respond for a long time.

This choking sorghum wine was drunk by Lu An unconsciously, and Lu An shook the empty wine jug with a helpless face.

Lao Xiao took another pot of wine at this time, walked over, brought an extra cup this time, poured himself a glass after sitting down, and then handed the wine jug over.

Lu An took it, poured himself a glass, and drank it all.

Lao Xiao looked at Lu An, whose face was flushed, and couldn't help but praise: "I can't see it, I'm young, but the amount of alcohol is good, don't drink too much, you have another competition tomorrow." ”

Lu An nodded slightly, but his thoughts were still immersed in the previous paragraph.

"Hey, stinky boy, talk to you!" said Lao Xiao unhappily.

"Well, listen, you know about this?" asked Lu An puzzled.

"Hmph, nonsense, I don't know anything, you must know about such a small thing!" said Lao Xiao disdainfully.

Lu An smiled and asked rhetorically: "Impossible, there must be something you don't know, otherwise Xiaoyao Pavilion wouldn't be so annoying." ”

When Lao Xiao heard this, his hand was forced, and his beard was torn off twice, and his face suddenly stiffened, and he glared at Lu An.

Lu An turned his neck and glanced over.

Lao Xiao thought for a moment, smiled, and said, "But there is really one thing I don't know, and maybe you know this thing." ”

"Oh, I'll just say, what's the matter?" Lu An asked curiously.

"Why did the snow beast suddenly retreat?" asked Lao Xiao softly.

Lu An shook his head honestly.

"Impossible, you must know that after the beast tide receded, the three of you came out of Yuanmou City, you must know about this matter, or it is very likely to be related to you. Lao Xiao asked.

Lu An looked at Lao Xiao, who was a little anxious, smiled, and said helplessly: "But I really don't know." ”

Lao Xiao looked at Lu An, who was a little underbeaten, and then angrily took out a handful of spirit crystals from his arms and pushed them in front of Lu An.

Lu An looked at it and said disdainfully: "That's it!"

"You!" Lao Xiao snorted coldly, took out a spirit crystal essence from his arms, and pushed it in front of Lu An.

Lu An looked at Lao Xiao's action, shook his head, and sighed.

Looking at Lu An's expression, Lao Xiao's face suddenly burst out, and he took out a jade pendant from his arms, threw it directly in front of Lu An, and said, "Don't be embarrassed." ”

Lu An picked up the jade pendant and glanced at it, it was crystal clear, and there was a house word written on one side, and three words of Xiaoyao Pavilion on the other side, these four words were aura.

But when Lu An saw this jade plate, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he still cut his mouth, "Isn't it just a piece of jade? ”

As long as you hold this piece of jade and go to Xiaoyao Pavilion, you can know any information for free, of course, except for those top secrets, or information worth more than ten spirit crystal essences, and the cloud boats within the five places are with you, at your command, this is already the greatest courtesy that Xiaoyao Pavilion gives to outsiders. Old Xiao said angrily.

When Lu An heard this, he asked rhetorically, "Then you sent me so easily?"

Lao Xiao replied very dissatisfied: "Do you want to take care of it, don't pay me back." ”

Lu An then glanced at it twice, let out an expressionless sigh, and then silently accepted the jade card.

"Can you say it now?" said Lao Xiao as he glared at Lu An while shaking his legs.

Lu An nodded, but the conversation changed, and he asked with a smile, "I want to know what Lord Yan Qingyan asked when he came to you a few days ago?"

"You!you!you!" Lao Xiao pointed at Lu An and stammered a few times, "Hmph, he came to ask the reason for the snow beast's retreat, but I didn't know, so I invited him to drink a glass of wine, this was the first time he asked something, but I couldn't answer, so he said that this wine was delicious!"

Lu An looked at Lao Xiao's angry appearance, couldn't help covering his mouth and smiling, and then replied: "Old Xiao, I may not really know much about this matter, but I can tell you what I encountered, and I don't care how much information you can learn from it." ”

Old Xiao nodded.

Immediately, Lu An came out of the cave and told him honestly about the snow beast he encountered outside the north gate.

Lao Xiao's eyes widened, and he asked puzzledly, "That's it?"

"That's it!" Lu An replied.

"Give me back the jade card!" Lao Xiao said dissatisfiedly.

"How is it possible, I said I don't know, you gave it to me yourself, and I didn't ask you for it, and now a grandmaster is actually cheating?" Lu An covered his chest and said loudly.

Lao Xiao's green tendons burst out again, but then he calmed down and asked again, "Are you sure this is the case?"

Lu An nodded, "Swear to God!"

Lao Xiao calmed his face and thought about it.

I didn't look up for a long time.

Lu An was like this, silently drinking wine, glass after glass, his face was already red, and when the wine jug was empty again, he burped with satisfaction.

Then I looked at the sky outside and it was slowly getting dark, and just wanted to get up, but my hand was grabbed by Lao Xiao.

Lu An glanced at it, raised his head and glanced at Lao Xiao, and asked puzzledly: "Old Xiao, why do you want to force me to stay?" I can't beat you, so I'll return the jade card to you." ”

Old Xiao snorted coldly, "How do you know now that I'm afraid? ”

Lu An smiled awkwardly and sat down again. replied: "Then Xiao Lao has any advice." ”

"You must have missed one more thing. Lao Xiao asked.

Lu An frowned, pretended to ask for a moment, and replied, "We blew up the Burning Sky Sand?"

Lao Xiao's whole body trembled, and he asked rhetorically, "You got it?"

Lu An nodded innocently, "But it's like getting some burning sand, but as soon as you pry it open, it explodes, almost killing us, but fortunately we ran fast." ”

Lao Xiao looked at Lu An with an unusually strange expression.

Lu An was stared at all over his body, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"You are really a loser, do you know why the big man wants to recapture this Yuanmou City?" said Lao Xiao.

Lu An replied tentatively: "Isn't it because of the talisman?"

"Talismans, hmph, talismans can't be recreated, their goal has always been the mine that burned the sand, and now it's okay, it's been blown up by you boys! Old Xiao tore off two more beards.

Lu An looked at Lao Xiao blankly, paused for a few seconds, and then hurriedly said: "Old Xiao, we didn't get it, you shouldn't have heard me talk about this matter, I don't want to be remembered by the big man." ”

"Hmph, now I know I'm afraid?" replied indifferently.

Lu An nodded honestly.

Lao Xiao fell into deep thought again, not knowing what he was thinking, and his expression became very strange.

Lu An was also thinking in his mind at the moment, thinking about whether to sell those few things to this old Xiao, the first thing about Sui Han must not be said, this is the secret of the Sun Moon Sect, and it must not be said, the second thing is that strange place, whether to say it, the headless corpse, this matter Lu An has always felt very strange, because after coming out, Lu An also went to find out about it, what Lin Cangyue and Sun Zhu encountered was a simple test, as long as they had a little strength, they could simply pass, and what they encountered could be described as eccentric, and the ice beast alone was not something that one person could deal withThe difficulty is simply incomparable.

If that was also a test, Lu An believed that absolutely no one could pass it, as long as two ice beasts appeared at once, even if they were as strong as Zhao Riyue, they would have to die there.

Lu An carefully weighed the pros and cons, there is definitely a problem with this matter, but where the specific problem is, Lu An can't figure it out, if someone can help solve it, it seems to be good.

Lu An raised his head, glanced at Lao Xiao, who was still pondering, and said loudly: "Old Xiao, do you know that there are moving ice sculptures in this Northern Snow Mountain?"

When Lao Xiao suddenly heard this, a pair of eyes stared directly at Lu An, and directly made a silent gesture.

Lu An hurriedly shut up and looked at Lao Xiao puzzled.

Lao Xiao suddenly sealed his hands, and Lu An suddenly felt as if this wine shop was isolated.

"Elder Xiao, you don't want to kill people, do you?" asked Lu An nervously.

Lao Xiao glared at Lu An and asked, "You can move ice sculptures, how do you know?"

When Lu An saw Lao Xiao's strange performance, he immediately felt a little uneasy, and after a turn of thought, he changed his words: "What we met in the cave mansion looked very strange, so I asked." ”

After Lao Xiao heard this, everyone straightened up and asked nervously, "What's the weird method?"

Looking at Lao Xiao's expression and movements, it seems that Lao Xiao is a little informed, but it seems that he only knows a little bit about it, and Lu An is a little puzzled, not knowing whether to tell what he encountered.

"Say it quickly?" said Lao Xiao a little anxiously.

Lu An nodded, but subconsciously felt that there was something that Lao Xiao couldn't know, so he made a rough statement and deliberately erased the part of the ice beast and the headless corpse.

After Lu An finished speaking, Lao Xiao was stunned for a long time, as if he was thinking about something again, he was relieved for a while, frowned for a while, and went back and forth several times, and Lu An was a little anxious when he saw it.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to that cave and have a look. Lu An said.

"I've been there a long time ago, and on the day the beast tide receded, I went to see it, and there was nothing, just a hole, and there was nothing in it, look at a fart! Do you think that kind of immortal cave is so easy to enter? After you came out, it would have destroyed itself a long time ago, and you can still see a fart!" Old Xiao Pokong scolded.

Lu An nodded resignedly.

"Elder Xiao, I want to ask a question, that is, how far can the teleportation array go?" Lu An suddenly thought of something.

"How far is the teleportation array?" Lao Xiao repeated puzzled.

Lu An nodded, "It's the kind that can teleport people, how far can it be transmitted?"

Lao Xiao nodded, thought for a moment and replied: "The teleportation array is a kind of magic weapon, you craftsmen should know better than me, why did you come to ask me?"

Lu An scratched his head, "I really don't know this thing very well. ”

"That's right, your craftsman city is only striking iron now, and they are all a bunch of rough men, and the production method of this kind of superb magic weapon has long been lost. Old Xiao sneered.

Lu An didn't refute either, and nodded honestly.

Looking at Lu An's embarrassed look, Lao Xiao continued: "The farthest distance of the current teleportation array magic weapon is only a few miles, if it is the kind of magic weapon before, it will be different, the farthest distance may be hundreds of kilometers, the distance is very far, but if you use it once, the spirit crystal essence consumed is also very large, and it is basically a one-time thing, and it is also a very precious thing in the past, and it is rarely used, so now it is very rare, and it is a very precious type of magic weapon." ”

After hearing this, Lu An nodded, and then asked, "That means that there are still some now, and there will definitely not be such a thing in the Craftsman City, right?"

Lao Xiao nodded, "Well, although the craftsman city is not bad, but as far as I know, there must be no such thing, this thing is generally only in the hands of a few major forces, and even if there is, it will not be easily taken out and used, with one is one less, what, do you want it?"

Lu An shook his head.

"Then why are you asking, give money!" said Lao Xiao dissatisfied.

Lu An didn't move, and continued: "It is said that Xiaoyao Pavilion knows everything, so I want you to investigate something, is it okay?"

Lao Xiao was surprised, and asked a little disbelievingly, "Are you sure?"

Lu An nodded firmly, this matter was like a thorn in his heart, as if someone had made a game, but why was it, he still hadn't figured it out, he had to figure it out, "Yes, let's make a price." ”

"Let's talk about what you want to investigate. Lao Xiao asked seriously.

"It's the kind of teleportation array that can be teleported directly from Yuanmou City to the hinterland of the Northern Snow Mountain, which force has, or rather, who has used it. Lu An replied.

Lao Xiao touched his beard, pondered for a while, and then replied briskly: "Yes, but this matter is more difficult to do, after all, this thing can be said to be the most precious thing for each force, so it is not very easy to investigate, it takes some time, and the cost of the investigation is difficult to predict, so let's do it, you pay a deposit first, a spirit crystal essence, and the rest, I will ask you to collect the results when the time comes." ”

Lu An instantly took out a spirit crystal essence and handed it over.

Lao Xiao immediately accepted it, and then smiled with a thief's eyebrows on his face.

"I only have this spirit crystal now, I'm very poor, don't think about it. Lu An gave him a blank look.

Lao Xiao smiled and did not continue to speak.

Lu An got up, shook it around, then picked up a jar of wine, patted it, and said, "Collect some interest." ”

Lao Xiao's face shook, his face darkened, and he raised his hand, but in the end he waved his hand, telling Lu An to leave quickly, with a distressed face.

Lu An immediately received the wine into the object, remembered another thing, and immediately asked, "Is there an old Taoist priest in your Xiaoyao Pavilion?"

When Lao Xiao heard this, he replied without changing his face: "Old Taoist, there are not one thousand but eight hundred in the pavilion, I don't know which one you are talking about?"

When Lu An heard the answer, he shrugged his shoulders and left happily.

Lao Xiao looked at Lu An's back and muttered, "This kid actually knows that old man, it seems that this jade pendant was not given away in vain, I think it was a loss, I didn't expect to be able to sell a favor, so it seems that it is still profitable." ”
