Volume 3 The Heroes of Zhongzhou Rise Chapter 191 Lin Xue remembers her childhood, and everyone in the inn gathers
"Now that everything is almost clear, shouldn't we join up with the others?"
Stopping on an inaccessible street, Chen Luoxue asked Xu Chenglin on the side.
"Don't be in such a hurry. I had already communicated with my senior sister and made an appointment to meet at the inn at noon. There are still two hours left, and we might as well take a walk around the city. I've been running around lately, and it's rare to have a time to get together and rest. ”
smiled at Chen Luoxue, but Xu Chenglin took her hand and walked towards the noisy market.
Chen Luoxue's face turned red, but then she laughed too. The two of them have such intimate behavior, and this can be traced back to the time of the two forces a few months ago. As the saying goes, a small don't win a newlywed, and its shape is nothing more than that.
Walking in the bustling market, the hearts of the two are calm. Looking at the crowd, the two of them lost their interest in playing for some reason. Years of spiritual life have kept them away from the world. At first glance, this will seem somewhat out of place.
"It's not fun to go on like this, why don't we find a place to eat?"
"It's good!"
Xu Chenglin opened his mouth to suggest, but Chen Luoxue did not refuse. The two glanced around, and walked to a stall selling bean curd.
"Why did you choose this?"
Chen Luoxue pretended not to know and looked at Xu Chenglin on the side.
"I remember someone when they were young, they used to cry over a bowl of bean curd. ”
With a slight smile, Xu Chenglin cooperated and said a past incident.
"You guy, you still remember! Speaking of which, I also miss it, I haven't eaten this thing for many years. How many years, it seems like it's been ten years. Ever since I entered the cultivation world, I don't think I've ever eaten it again. ”
Looking at the bowls of snow-white and tender bean curd in front of her, Chen Luoxue did not fall into memory.
"Let's go, we'll talk about it later, now let's go taste it first!"
Gently knocked on Chen Luoxue's head, Xu Chenglin smiled and pulled her to find a vacant seat to sit down.
The owner of the stall saw the two of them sitting down at random, and his heart was suddenly a little dazed. Looking at the clothes and bearing of these two people, although the man is not handsome, he has a unique temperament, and he is even more difficult to describe the female companion next to him. It's not because of anything else, it's just because he's never seen such a beautiful girl.
"What do you two want?"
The stall owner was a little nervous, and he subconsciously asked something that he shouldn't ask.
Chen Luoxue couldn't bear it, and Xu Chenglin also laughed.
"You boss is so weird, what else do you have besides bean curd? Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and serve a bowl to one of us!"
was ridiculed by Xu Chenglin lightly, and the stall owner's slightly dark face also had a little flush. He smiled awkwardly and hurriedly answered.
"Look at what you said! What I don't have in this stall may not be available anywhere else. You two can deign to come to me, how can I not serve well?"
"Alright, don't be busy! If we want to eat anything else, we'll be there a long time ago. The two of us are here just for your bowl of bean curd. ”
He waved his hand
, Xu Chenglin motioned to the boss to hurry up.
The stall owner was very interested, nodded and immediately ran to the side. After a while, two bowls of snow-white and tender bean curd were placed in front of the two.
"Dare to ask the two distinguished guests, do you like sweet or salty?"
As he spoke, the stall owner had already placed a jar of salt and a jar of sugar in front of the two of them. Looking at the two of them with a smile, the stall owner was waiting aside.
"Alright, let's go get busy, we don't need you to wait. ”
While speaking, Xu Chenglin had already raised his hand and threw out something. What was thrown was extremely accurate, and it fell directly into the arms of the stall owner.
Subconsciously, the stall owner looked into his arms. It didn't matter, it was a small piece of broken gold that shone gold. The boss was shocked and hurriedly wanted to return the gold. It's just that before he could speak, Xu Chenglin waved his hand.
Seeing that Xu Chenglin was a little impatient this time, the stall owner didn't say anything more. Facing the two of them, the boss happily went to the side.
"You've taken him away, but do you know which is sugar and which is salt?"
Looking at Xu Chenglin with one hand on his cheek, Chen Luoxue glanced at a jar of salt and a jar of sugar on the table.
"I guess it doesn't really matter. Whether it's sweet or salty, it's not really the flavor you're looking for. I remember when we were all young and the village was not wealthy. The most anticipated thing every month is the bowl of snow-white and tender bean curd. At that time, I didn't know what was sweet and what was salty, but I just drank and swallowed it. Salt and sugar are not familiar to us. ”
Holding his chin with both hands, Xu Chenglin looked at Chen Luoxue quietly.
"That's right! The familiar taste is like our spiritual life, plain, neither sweet nor salty. ”
While speaking, Chen Luoxue had already moved a bowl of bean curd in front of him. He looked at Xu Chenglin, and pushed another bowl in front of Xu Chenglin.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and ate to themselves. And the salt and sugar, which are similar in color between the two, no one takes a second look.
"It's a different place, but the taste is the same. Let's go back and have a look after we're done this time. ”
Bringing up the old story again, Chen Luoxue did not feel bored.
"Well, I don't need to say that I think so too. ”
Nodding, Xu Chenglin agreed without hesitation.
"How are the people in the village doing?"
"I don't know. ”
"I wonder if the village school is still there?"
"It should still be there. ”
"It's been ten years, and the master is getting old. ”
"Well, it's over fifty. ”
......
The two of them were eating and chatting. A bowl of bean curd, they actually took an hour to eat.
looked at the bottomed bean curd in the bowl, looked up and estimated the hour, Chen Luoxue stood up.
"It's almost time, let's go and meet. ”
"Well, let's go. ”
Answered, Xu Chenglin also rose.
The owner of the stall vaguely heard that the two wanted to leave, and he wanted to give one away
The next two. When I turned around, I saw two empty bowls on the table and untouched sugar and salt. As for the shadows of the two, they have long since disappeared.
When Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue arrived at the inn, it was already full of people. The shopkeeper ran back and forth non-stop, not noticing the arrival of the two at all. The shopkeeper behind the counter was sharp-eyed, and he could see at a glance that the two of them were extraordinary. He hurried out of the counter and trotted all the way to the two.
"When the distinguished guest arrives, I don't know if it's a tip or a hotel?"
"Neither, we're looking for someone. Someone is already waiting for us, and it is estimated that he will come down soon. ”
While speaking, Xu Chenglin had already released a divine sense to contact others.
"Oh, I wonder which room you're looking for?"
After listening to Xu Chenglin's answer, the shopkeeper paused for a moment, but then asked with a smile.
"Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome, looking at this time, it is estimated that he will come down soon. ”
As Xu Chenglin finished speaking, the shopkeeper heard the sound of footsteps coming from upstairs. He subconsciously looked back at the stairs, and sure enough, he saw that someone was walking down without hurry.
"Here, let's go up there!"
Looking at the two people standing in the door of the inn, Su Yunhe nodded lightly and greeted them.
"Okay, lead the way in advance. ”
Nodding slightly, Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue followed Su Yunhe upstairs together.
Following Su Yunhe through a passageway, the three of them stopped in a slightly more spacious room. Knocked lightly on the door three times, and then Su Yunhe pushed the door directly in. There were all nine people in the house, and there were exactly twelve people outside the house. For the three people who pushed the door in, there was no surprise for the nine people in the house. Obviously, the three knocks on the door before meant something.
The three of them entered the room and each found a seat to sit down. The other nine people saw that they had gathered, so they also entered the real topic.
"How's it going?"
Looking at Xu Chenglin with a smile, Gongsun Jing's expression was a little expectant.
"It's a bit of a coincidence that the people who are following you are the target of all of us. ”
After saying this, Xu Chenglin looked at everyone with a smile.
"Scattered Cultivation Alliance?"
Li Zhao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xu Chenglin, he hoped to get his confirmation.
"That's right, it's the Scattered Cultivation Alliance! Here's how it happened......"
Xu Chenglin didn't hide it at all, from the two of them tracking the two stalkers, to hearing about the existence of the alliance, to later fighting Moxia, etc., he talked about them in detail one by one.
"There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get the group. I thought it would be a long time before I met the people of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, but I didn't expect to meet them here. Although we are going to the General Alliance, now that we know that they have someone here, we can't afford not to see each other. ”
Touching his chin, Xu Feiyuan said a little seriously.
"That's right, we can talk to them about the mountain village, maybe they know something else. ”
Gongsun Jing nodded slightly and agreed with Xu
Flying away views.
"What did Senior Brother Su gain from there?"
Thinking of tracking one group with Su Yunhe before, Xu Chenglin also asked about the situation of the other group.
"It's also a coincidence to say that the person who followed Senior Brother Ma and his group was someone from the Hanging Mirror Division of the Central Continent. ”
Laughing helplessly, Su Yunhe used a similar statement to Xu Chenglin to describe the situation they encountered.
"The Hanging Mirror Division and the Scattered Cultivation Alliance are both well-known forces on the Central Continent, especially the latter. But under normal circumstances, where there is a Scattered Cultivation Alliance, there will be no people from the Hanging Mirror Division, and vice versa. It is definitely not a simple coincidence that two groups of people appeared in the same place at the same time. ”
Gongsun Jing's brows furrowed, and she faintly sensed that something was unusual.
"That's right!"
Xu Feiyuan nodded, obviously agreeing with Gongsun Jing's inference.
"Do you think they're also looking after the mountain village?"
Looking at everyone's words, Yun Yang suddenly had this idea.
"It's entirely possible!"
When Su Yunhe heard Yun Yang's thoughts, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his mind.
Although the mountain village was burned down by us in the end, we can't rule out that a similar situation happened in the surrounding area. Seeing that both groups of people are paying attention to unfamiliar cultivators, it must have something to do with this matter. ”
Gongsun Jing thought about it for a while, and then made some inferences.
"Not only that, I think it's very good to meet four Xuanyi people today. Senior Brother Li Hanxin just said that they were a little resentful. These grievances are old and new, and some of them are very similar to those seen in the mountain villages. To say that this has nothing to do with them is a bit unreasonable. ”
As soon as Gongsun Jing's inference was said, Xu Feiyuan immediately added it. The two of you say a word, and it seems that most of the things have been restored.
"In that case, we only need to do two things next, the first is to investigate the affairs of the Xuanyi people, and the second is to meet with the people of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance here. ”
After listening to Gongsun Jing and Xu Feiyuan's inference, Li Zhao thought about it for a while and made a summary.
I have to say that Li Zhao is very good at grasping the key points. The two things he said actually covered all the possible inferences of the two of them.
"That's right, but who should we send to find out who the Xuanyi people should send? We must find someone who has the power to protect himself and can be good at concealment. ”
Su Yunhe asked this question, but as he spoke, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Xu Chenglin, while the Phantom Sect and his party turned their gaze to Chen Luoxue.
"Yes, it looks like the candidates have been selected!"
Glancing at the eyes of everyone present, Su Yunhe already had an answer.
Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue looked at each other and smiled, but they did not refuse. The two of them got up and nodded to everyone.
