The two of them wandered around for a while, and when it was evening, they found an inn to stay in.

After all this time, they have long since stopped being as fussy as before, and it is enough to have a place to sleep peacefully. As for the palatial accommodation, I don't want to ask for luxury, but I can have the best.

The shopkeeper in the inn saw the extremely brilliant appearance of the two and felt like a master who could spend money, and the hospitality was naturally a little more attentive, not to mention the tea and water on call, and even the wine that came up was one or two more than other tables.

Zhuge Chen smiled at the shopkeeper's good eyesight, threw a small piece of broken silver and said, "Look at your small year, why did you come out so early to find a job?"

The shopkeeper is a sturdy young man who is a few years younger than Zhuge Chen, not to mention that he likes to do work, and he likes to do things very much, so he almost observes him for a few more years and marries his daughter to him.

The shopkeeper wiped the table hard, panting and said, "My family fled from elsewhere, and almost all of the family starved to death on the way, and only one sister remained by my side." Thanks to the kindness of the shopkeeper to take us in, we couldn't have survived that winter. ”

Zhuge Chen sighed, and wanted to pick up the wine jug in front of him without a trace, but was stopped by Xian'er, who knew his drunken nature: "Childe, your serious injury has not healed, you can still drink this wine without drinking it." ”

The shopkeeper, who was accustomed to seeing this kind of scene, stared at the young man in white who frowned because of helplessness, and said, "Our family's wine is relatively light, so it's okay to have a few drinks." ”

Zhuge Chen, who had recaptured the wine jug, glanced at the shopkeeper gratefully, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Then do you have any plans in the future, just stay in this inn for the rest of your life?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, and just as he wanted to speak, he was called by the shopkeeper to pass the food to another table, and he had to smile apologetically, turn around and run into the back kitchen.

After he left, Xian'er, who saw some clues, sent a message to Zhuge Chen and said: "Childe, the two bones of this shop are good, and they are not much different from the golden branches and jade leaves, could it be that you want to accept apprentices?"

Zhuge Chen shook his head, and did not reply with a voice, but said softly: "What do you think, don't say that he is only a thin line, even if he is a real jade leaf, he can't get into my eyes." In fact, the words that were not unintentional just now are as complicated as you think, that is, I want to see if the world's rivers and lakes are good in the eyes of this shopkeeper. If it's good, that's it. If it's not good, then Ben Gongzi will let those scattered cultivators who are fluttering in this pool of deep water understand that there are always some things that should not be as simple as forcibly grabbing them. ”

Xian'er smiled after hearing this, looked at Zhuge Chen and said slowly: "It turns out that Gongzi is still resentful of those loose cultivators who attacked you, so why didn't you kill him at that time to vent his anger?"

Before Zhuge Chen could answer, he was interrupted by the shopkeeper: "Of course I won't stay here for a lifetime, I still understand the truth of a good man's ambition in all directions, and when my sister gets married, I am ready to fulfill my childhood dream." ”

He said this, with a silly smile.

Zhuge Chen drank all the residual wine in the cup, gave himself another cup and said: "Ambition in all directions, it should be to go to the rivers and lakes!"

The shopkeeper nodded and asked, "Childe is also a person in the rivers and lakes?" Can you tell me about the interesting things, which can just make me more informed." ”

Zhuge Chen shook his head: "You have to experience the things on the rivers and lakes yourself, and even if it is exciting to say it through my mouth, it will be greatly discounted." But I still want to advise you, it's better for you not to go this time. ”

"Why?" asked the shopkeeper in astonishment.

Zhuge Chen replied slowly: "The age is too old, the rivers and lakes outside the inn are not as good as this, and they are often going to die." Even if your sister gets married, you can really rest assured? I don't think so. ”

The shopkeeper was silent, and lowered his hair and wiped the already clean table fiercely, just unwilling to meet Zhuge Chen's eyes again.

As the young man in white said, even if he has no worries, his rivers and lakes will not be happy after all.

Zhuge Chen got up, came to the table where the shopkeeper was wiping, stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder to force him to sit down, and he also sat aside and said: "But I want to know, what kind of rivers and lakes are in your mind, as for making you so fascinated?"

"As for it!" shopkeeper replied firmly, but he still didn't dare to look up at Zhuge Chen: "I think that the rivers and lakes are the world of a group of righteous people, drawing their swords to the sky, being extremely happy, and the most important thing is to be able to live their own style...... I don't have much culture, so I might not be very good. ”

Zhuge Chen scratched his head, gave Xian'er an elusive look, turned his head and said, "Very good, I also yearn for rivers and lakes like you." It's just that I haven't been to the rivers and lakes, so I can't tell whether it's right or wrong!"

The shopkeeper said suspiciously: "Childe...... You haven't been to the rivers and lakes?"

Zhuge Chen, who was full of wine and food, took Xian'er and walked to the guest room on the second floor, and when he was about to enter the door, he turned around and said affirmatively: "No." ”

After speaking, the whole person did not enter the house, leaving the shopkeeper to sigh and continue to dream of the rivers and lakes.

......

The Taihang Sect on the Taihang Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles.

As the sect that sits firmly in the fifth place on the southern border of Dayan, the Taihang Sect has always been above the top. Not to mention that for those mortals who have not embarked on the path of cultivation, even fellow Daoists of other sects, they are equally disdainful.

That's why the four sects in front of me sneered, but those few just talked about it, and the province recruited this mad dog with sharp teeth.

Although the reputation of the Taihang Sect on the southern border can be said to be notorious, the relationship with the real overlord of the south, the Wang family, can be said to be handled very properly.

A lot of dirty work that the Wang family doesn't like to do by themselves is carried on the shoulders of Taihang Sect, and it is harder to do than their own family affairs. Of course, the benefits obtained from this are also very considerable, otherwise it would be impossible for the Taihang Sect, which enshrines a bamboo basket immortal in the ancestral hall, to change with each passing day.

The prestige of the sect is increasing day by day, and the waists of the disciples are getting straighter and straighter, and even the tone is much tougher than usual. Acting even more arrogantly, anyway, with their own sect master's sentence of Taixing, they are free to take it around, how can they not take advantage of the situation to show their superiority after knowing the fox and the fake tiger power before they have broken into the rivers and lakes?

Besides, the sect master has spoken, and the Taihang Sect is about to climb up one more step and trample the Suo Po Gate under his feet, this momentum must be done.

In the early morning of this day, an extremely ugly man in brown shouted in the place where the sect master's disciples were cultivating.

This person is Liu Kangzhuang, who used to flirt with Xian'er but was cleaned up by Zhuge Chen, he has been acting as a prestige in Chishui City, which made people suppress him, and naturally he was unhappy, and he couldn't wait to cramp and skin that person at that time. Why doesn't he have that strength, it's just a matter of talking.

However, this person has a good brother Liu Kangning, who is a descendant disciple who is very valued by the sect master of Taihang Sect. At a young age, he came to the realm of the Heavenly Barrier Grandmaster, and in time, he will definitely be able to become an immortal.

Different from the scattered cultivation masters in the rivers and lakes, the Tianlei realm in the sect is undoubtedly better to fight. No matter what, this Heavenly Barrier, which is called the separation of immortals by the cultivators of the sect, is still a difficult problem.

Therefore, like this kind of sure future immortals, Taihang Sect can be said to have put a lot of thought into it, and Liu Kangzhuang's elder brother did not disappoint them. It's only been a few years, and I've reached the peak of the Heavenly Base, and it's only a matter of time before I go to the first realm of the immortals.

For such a handsome man, the brothers and sisters of the Taihang Sect want to make friends. It just so happened that today Liu Kangning went down the mountain with an elder to find an opportunity to break through the realm, and when he was not in the sect, a few disciples who knew this genius brother came forward to talk.

The burly man at the head has the highest realm among everyone, he just became a human grandmaster a few days ago, and he wanted to compete with Liu Kangning for a lifetime, but he was knocked to the ground by someone else. If it weren't for someone stopping me, maybe even the path of cultivation might have been cut off. Thanks to this heartless master, not only did he not take this matter to heart, but he also regarded Liu Kangning as his idol.

The burly man came to Liu Kangzhuang, who was crying, pressed his hand on his shoulder, and said sincerely: "You are Brother Kangning's younger brother, your brother has something to do and went down the mountain." It's you, why did you come to our Taihang Sect early in the morning, but you are in trouble?"

Liu Kangzhuang pretended to wipe his eyes, pulled down the corners of his mouth and pulled his throat to make noise: "Why is my brother not here at this time, his own brother is not being bullied." It's good for him to go down the mountain by himself and be happy, but I, how can I live!"

When the burly man saw Liu Kangzhuang's appearance, he scolded him and said that he was really ugly, but he still patted him on the back, patted his chest again, and said quite righteously: "Hmm? Someone dares to bully our relatives of Taihang Sect, so I'm impatient! It doesn't matter if your brother is not there, isn't this still your brother Fan." Tell Brother Fan who is bullying you, let's go down the mountain to find him!"

As soon as Liu Kangzhuang heard this, he was grateful, closed his eyes and was about to kneel: "Brother Fan, it's really a blessing to meet you today." ”

The burly man who called himself Brother Fan grinned, and he didn't listen to Liu Kangzhuang's nonsense. To tell the truth, this little cautious gentleman can't get into his eyes, if it weren't for the brother who was afraid of this person, he would dare to punch and kill if he changed to another person to make noise here.

Brother Fan stretched out his hand to help Liu Kangzhuang up, helped him pat the dust on his body, and pretended to be concerned and said: "Let's go down the mountain to find that person, my brother is bullied, how can we give up?!"

After speaking, he put his arm around Liu Kangzhuang's shoulders and led a few people behind him to walk down the mountain according to the instructions.

......

Chishui City, a small inn.

Zhuge Chen, who had eaten lunch, lazily leaned on the Taishi chair and read a Taoist classic, originally he also wanted to take a nap, who would have thought that this classic was so fascinating. not only dispelled his drowsiness, but also gave him the idea of cultivating some Taoist branch thunder methods.

Turning back a page, an obscure ancient symbol came into his eyes. He wanted to think about it carefully, and the symbol immediately turned into a streamer and drilled into his eyebrows. The next moment, a thunder pool with a brilliant golden light around him appeared in his divine sense.

There are four inconspicuous small characters engraved on the wall of the thunder pool, and the thunder pool is heavy.

Zhuge Chen was shocked when he saw it, how could the Taoist proverbs taught by a Taoist saint have a relationship with a book? If it was really written on Luoyang paper, but he was just an ordinary book that had fallen to the ground on the table of a small inn, and he was really worthy of the avenue of Tongtian that carried the realm of a saint?

But now Zhuge Chen can't take care of so much, like a miser, he devotes himself to the thunder pool, and even the call of the fairy is deaf.

When Xian'er saw her son-in-law looking so hungry and thirsty, she smiled slightly, sat aside and quietly looked at Zhuge Chen's side face.

After a while, Zhuge Chen opened his eyes with satisfaction. I have to say that this thunder pool has benefited him a lot, originally his thunder method was only able to learn the skin, but now it can be regarded as a little attainment.

When Xian'er saw Zhuge Chen wake up, she pulled a chair closer and said, "I just saw a sneaky person outside, and after interrogation, it was the subordinate of the guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead yesterday, and he thought he had been following us here. So I killed him, and by the way, cut off his head and put it in your mustard seeds, Childe. ”

"Hmm. Zhuge Chen was still immersed in the joy of picking up the treasure and couldn't extricate himself, and it took a long time to react and exclaim: "What? You put the head of a dead man in my mustard seeds, and you are still the subordinate of the gentleman from yesterday." ”

Xian'er nodded innocently with wide eyes.

Zhuge Chen helplessly held his forehead and said: "Forget it, in fact, he is something I can stay, just to see if that person will seek revenge." It's fine if he doesn't come, but if he really dares to come, then he will be breaking into the Yellow Spring. ”

As soon as Zhuge Chen finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside. He looked down along the window, just staring at the man in brown, Liu Kangzhuang immediately scolded: "You bastard, you dared to beat my son yesterday, and I will kill you today to feed the dog!"

As soon as Zhuge Chen wanted to speak, the door was slammed open by the anxious shopkeeper, only to see him clutching his chest and hurriedly saying: "Childe, there is a group of people below who say they want to kill you, and the leader is still the famous big man in Chishui City!"

Zhuge Chen stepped forward, pressed his hand into the air, signaled that he didn't need to panic, and then said: "Haven't you ever seen the rivers and lakes to seek revenge? If you want me to say that you kid is still shallow, this kind of thing is very common in the rivers and lakes that you have been thinking about for a long time." ”

The shopkeeper scratched his head and asked, "Son, haven't you walked the rivers and lakes?"

Zhuge Chen picked up the rubber pillar sword on the table and pinned it to his waist, and said slowly: "That's all a lie to you, my rivers and lakes are very big, how can I say that there is also a distance from the Chishui City Gate to this inn!"

The shopkeeper couldn't cry or laugh: "Childe, don't make trouble at this juncture." ”

"Who said I made a fuss. Zhuge Chen flew down the window and came to everyone, and his resounding words echoed in the room: "The rivers and lakes I have walked through are the roads I have stepped on." ”
