The shopkeeper smiled, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, I don't know what the guest officer plans to replace it, whether it is gold jewelry, jade, or pearl agate or something?"

When Lu Hao heard this, he was stunned and said, "None of what you said is this. ”

"Oh?" The shopkeeper's eyes were even brighter, and he said in his heart that this person looked a little stupid, maybe he was a son of a family who had never been through the world, and it was unknown if there were more precious things in his hands.

"Childe, please take out the things, don't worry, the little old man will definitely give Childe a satisfactory price." ”

Lu Hao took out the most ordinary spirit stone from his sleeve, only the size of a thumb cover, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the spirit stone in his hand, looked left and right, and found that it was a white spar, shining, but he didn't recognize this thing, his brows furrowed, and he hesitated: "Guest officer, what is this?"

Lu Hao opened his mouth and said: "This is a low-grade spirit stone, although I don't know how many silver taels it can be exchanged for, but it is more than enough to pay the two of us for a few days." ”

The shopkeeper looked at the spirit stone in his hand carefully, his face was still full of doubts, his face became unhappy, and he said coldly: "This son, I see that you are well-dressed, not like an ordinary person, could it be that you are here to find a little old man for recreation?

As he spoke, he stuffed the spirit stone to Lu Hao, and no longer spoke, it seemed that he was obviously going to chase away the guest.

Lu Hao sighed silently in his heart, although as a monk of Jiedan, needless to say, this small inn, even this stone town, can make it disappear in a flash, but how can Lu Hao make a move with mortals, he shook his head helplessly, took the spirit stone and prepared to leave this shop.

At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded: "Wait!"

I saw that on the corner table by the window in the inn hall, an old man slowly got up and came to the counter.

Lu Hao looked at the old man who was staggering over in some surprise, and saw that this person's gray hair was very messy, and the clothes on his body were also very dirty, like a flower child, but Lu Hao secretly operated his consciousness and couldn't help but be surprised.

This seemingly down-and-out old man turned out to be a monk in the late stage of foundation building.

The old man came to the counter, waved his hand lightly, and there was an extra ingot of silver in his hand, which seemed to be dozens of taels, and threw it on the counter.

The old man raised his eyelids and said, "This friend's house money is paid for him by the old man, is this silver enough?"

When the shopkeeper saw such a large piece of silver, he had already smiled, and hurriedly said: "Enough, enough! This son can live as long as he wants, and if he needs anything, just say it." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly instructed Xiao Er to prepare for Lu Hao and the others to go to the room.

Lu Hao had already seen that the old man was also a monk, and he was not polite, turned his head, bowed his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Thank you!"

Although he smiled on his face, he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart.

The old man also smiled and arched his hand, and said, "It's just a trivial matter, you don't have to be polite." I don't know...... Can the son be in the mood to have a few drinks with the old man?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to the table where he was sitting in front of the window.

Lu Hao smiled slightly and said, "That's very good!"

So, Lu Hao and the two walked over with the old man, and the three of them sat down at the table.

The old man instructed Xiao Er to add a pair of chopsticks to Lu Hao and Lu Han respectively, and asked for two jars of wine.

The hall on the first floor of this inn is very spacious, there are about 20 tables, this time is because it is morning, so there are few guests, the old man's table location is relatively remote, and there is no one else around.

The old man picked up the wine bowl and said, "Two Taoist friends, when we meet for the first time, the old man will do it first as a respect, please!"

As he spoke, he took a few sips of a bowl of wine and dried it down.

In fact, the old man had already pointed out the identities of Lu Hao and the others as soon as he said 'Daoyou', but Lu Hao was not surprised, smiled slightly, and dried up a bowl of wine in one gulp.

Although this remote shop is very dilapidated, but I don't know how the wine is made, the entrance is sweet and spicy, very strong, Lu Hao can't help but feel refreshed when he goes down with a bowl of wine.

And Lu Han can't be so chic, he has followed Lu Hao since he was a child, and has been cultivating in the Dragon Clan, although he has been refining his body at this time, but he has little experience when it comes to drinking, he only drank a few sips of a bowl of wine, and then spit it out, while fanning his tongue with his hands, he coughed loudly.

The old man couldn't help laughing and said, "I can't imagine that such a strong physique of Daoyou would be spicy like this by this mundane wine, the old man is really eye-opening." ”

Lu Hao also knew that he was just laughing casually, without malice, and he didn't care, and said to Lu Han: "Han'er, since you are not used to it, don't drink it." ”

Lu Han coughed a few times, his expression gradually softened, he was wooden, and he didn't know what to say, with an embarrassed face, he nodded.

Lu Hao turned his head and said with a smile: "The first time the child went out, he didn't see anything in the world, which made Daoyou smile." ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay!"

The old man raised the bowl and saluted Lu Hao with a big bowl, and the two of them made another bowl.

In this way, you have a bowl and I have a bowl, and in a short time, the two of them will eat these two big jars of wine.

The old man asked Xiao Er to bring up the four big jars of wine, and without saying much, he began to drink with Lu Hao again.

Both of them were monks, how could they get drunk with this mundane wine, so they drank from morning to noon, and saw that more than twenty empty wine jars almost filled their tables, but the two of them were still in good spirits, and they did not have the slightest sense of alcohol.

The old man wiped his mouth, although he was not drunk, his face was also a little red, and he said with a smile: "I didn't expect that in the Purple Hui Sect, there are also characters like Daoyou, which makes the old man very happy today, okay, I am also happy today, Daoyou please do it!"

When Lu Hao heard the old man's words, his face was stunned, and he said, "Purple Hui Sect?"

The old man smiled and said: "Why should you pretend to be confused, didn't you two come here today to kill the old man......? Well, since it's here, the old man doesn't have it, just a life, please do it. ”

Lu Hao finally understood, it turned out that this old man actually regarded him and Lu Han as monks from the Purple Hui Sect who came to hunt down him.

Lu Hao has always been very sensitive to the Purple Hui Sect, and when he heard the old man mention this sect, he couldn't help but think of the destruction of the Sun Covering Sect, his face hesitated, and he said in a deep voice: "Could it be that Daoyou is a former monk of the Sun Covering Sect?"

The old man snorted coldly and said, "I see that Daoist friends are elegant and extraordinary, so I kindly invite Daoist friends to have a few drinks, and I want to make friends before I die." How can a person like you also play tricks on the old man, didn't Daoyou ask knowingly?"

Lu Hao no longer had any doubts in his heart, and when he saw that the old man had misunderstood, he arched his hand and said, "I think Daoist friends have misunderstood." He is not from the Zihui Sect, he just arrived in the Western Desert a few days ago, and he happened to meet a fellow Taoist here. ”

The old man was surprised: "Is this true?"

Lu Hao nodded and looked at the old man with a frank face.

The old man said: "Daoist friends are really not the cultivators of the Western Desert?"

Lu Hao was a little impatient and said: "Since Daoist friends can't believe it, I don't want to argue strongly." I am very happy to meet Taoist friends today, so it is better to say goodbye. ”

As he spoke, Lu Hao called Lu Han and got up to leave.

At this time, the old man knew that he had misunderstood Lu Hao and the others, and hurriedly got up to stop Lu Hao, and arched his hand: "It's all to blame the old man for being suspicious, misunderstanding the two, the old man makes amends, and please don't be weird, please sit, please sit!"

As he spoke, he asked Xiao Er to bring ten jars of good wine.

The old man arched his hand at Lu Hao, and said with a straight face: "The old man's name is Sun Xinghuai, I don't know the name of my friend?"

Lu Hao returned the salute and said with a smile: "In Xia Lu Hao, this is my nephew, named Lu Han." ”

"It turned out to be Lu Daoyou, disrespectful and disrespectful! I don't know where you came from, and what happened to the Western Desert?"

Lu Hao didn't answer him, but said, "I don't know if you once served as an elder in the Sun Occultation Sect, responsible for guarding a spiritual spring?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, stared at Lu Hao, and after a few breaths, he spoke: "Exactly, I don't know how you know?"

Lu Hao said again: "I don't know if there was a female cultivator in your sect named Ye Yushuang?"

The old man was even more surprised, and said, "Yushuang, but there is such a girl, but this girl has not heard from her for decades, could it be ...... Do you know her?"

A trace of melancholy appeared on Lu Hao's face, nodded, and said slowly: "Don't hide it from Elder Sun, this woman ...... It's the wife!"

"Ah!" Elder Sun stood up suddenly, his face horrified.

After a few breaths, Elder Sun came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "She...... Where's she?"

Lu Hao sighed silently and shook his head, a trace of bitterness welling up on his face.

"Dead ...... Dead?"

Lu Hao said: "It's not dead, it's just ...... Alas......"

So, Lu Hao briefly introduced the matter between him and Ye Yushuang to Elder Sun.

Elder Sun listened to Lu Hao quietly, and also sighed, and said, "I didn't expect this girl to go to the East China Sea unexpectedly. Alas, this girl has had a hard life since she was a child, and she was rescued by the senior brother in charge, and she regarded it as her own, and she has been cultivating in the mountains. This girl has been well-behaved since she was a child, so the old man likes her very much and has always been very good to her. It happened that this girl went to Lingquan to cultivate that night, and it happened that the Purple Hui Sect attacked our sect that night, and the old man was busy with the battle, so he had no time to protect her. Afterwards, although the sect vigorously searched for her, there was no trace of her, and everyone only said that she was poisoned by the Zihui Sect, and they were all regretful. Ever since she disappeared, Senior Brother has been worried in her heart, and she is getting thinner and thinner, and her cultivation has slowed down a lot. Until more than ten years ago, the Purple Hui Sect attacked on a large scale, and his old man saw that the sect suffered such a catastrophe and died as a martyr for the sect......"

When Lu Hao heard this, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart. He was just about to open his mouth to comfort Elder Sun for a few words, when suddenly his consciousness moved, and he raised his head suddenly.

"I didn't expect to kill two birds with one stone today, not only found the wild cultivator who stole the spiritual spring, but also found the remnants of this Sun Covering Sect by the way, hahahaha!"
