Chapter 1: The Wilderness Inn
"The big boss, come out to pick up the guests!"
Near the abandoned official road at the foot of Taihang Mountain, a high apricot yellow "wine" flag is hunting in the wind.
Beneath it sat a three-way inn, in disrepair, with mottled walls, peeling red paint, and thick moss covered with green bricks and tiles.
In the backyard, Zhang Ran was meditating cross-legged with his eyes closed, and when he heard the shout, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp divine sense swept into the front hall.
I saw a thin black Shiba Inu passing through the court, trotting in front of him, wagging his tail.
"How many times have I said it, don't call me a big boss!"
Zhang Ran straightened up in white clothes and kicked at the black dog.
"We're not bandits, we're opening shops!"
"That's also the ...... of the black shop" The black dog jumped to the side alertly, pursed his lips, and muttered quietly.
"I haven't opened for three years, I've been open for three years, I don't know which one is the big one this time!"
The black dog was right.
In the past three years, a new guest has finally come to the door, and the last guest has now become an innkeeper.
"Huh, do you have an opinion?"
Zhang Ran's fierce gaze swept towards the black dog, and the black dog couldn't help but shrink his dog neck.
"No opinion, no opinion. Big boss, let's hurry up, let's go to rob early...... Pick up new guests, or the rats in the granary will all die!"
When Zhang Ran heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "Isn't there still a bag of Spirit Valley in the granary?
"Big boss, you said this half a year ago...... "The black dog snorted and said: "In order to supplement the food, in the past six months, I have caught all the rabbits within a radius of thirty miles near the inn!"
"Don't chirp, I know you're aggrieved. When this business is done, I'll give you more food!"
Now that there are new guests, Zhang Ran's mood is much better, not to mention that this black dog does have some credit, and he needs to be soothed somewhat.
"Let's go, let's see!"
After a while, a man and a dog came to the front yard.
In front of the empty hall, weeds were overgrown, and only a few sparrows were falling everywhere, not to mention human figures, not even ghosts.
"What about people?"
"The ...... that was there just now"
The black dog hurriedly pleaded, and a pair of dog-eyes quickly roamed around.
If you are convicted of lying to the crime, you can't afford it, and it can't be solved by a beating to annoy this master.
"What a Li Ergou, do you dare to scold me?"
Zhang Ran looked around again and confirmed that there was no half of him, and he couldn't help but be angry.
"How dare I lie to you, I saw a woman coming towards our inn just now. ”
Li Ergou cried with a dog's face, his eyes dodging.
"Well, I must have been scared away by your big boss. What do you want, you white food eater!"
"Originally, it was not easy for you to cultivate, and you were left with a dog's life, but you ate and drank excessively and killed indiscriminately......"
"Now I will accept you for Tianxingdao and avenge the rabbits who died in vain at your hands!"
Zhang Ran looked at the black dog and suddenly shouted, and his eyes gradually showed an eager gaze.
This Li Ergou is a little demon he received three years ago, in addition to being timid, he is also diligent and diligent.
The Taiyi True Sutra exercises that he practiced by himself were willingly dedicated.
Although the Taiyi True Scripture is only an introductory immortal cultivation exercise, not long after he first came to the inn, he didn't even have this most basic introductory exercise except for a jade talisman hanging on his chest.
Fortunately, this blind dog bumped into his hand, giving him a chance to get a glimpse of immortal cultivation.
Compared with the Daluo Sutra, the authentic cultivation method of the three sects of Xuanmen, the Taiyi Sutra belongs to the left path of the side door, but it can be called the true scripture, of course, it has its own uniqueness.
In the case of no one to guide you, the Taiyi Sutra is indeed easier for people to get started with than the Daluo Sutra.
He didn't waste his time, and after three years of cultivation, he was a little successful, reaching the thirteenth layer of qi refining, and there were faint signs of foundation building in the dantian.
I was going to hold on until the foundation was completed, but I didn't expect this black dog to catch the rabbits around it, so that there is nothing to eat now.
The cunning rabbit is exhausted, and the lackeys are cooking......
Although this black dog has lost a little weight, it should be able to withstand it for a few days if he saves some food, as long as he survives the foundation, it is not too late for him to leave.
Since coming to this immortal world, I haven't eaten spiced dog meat for a long time.
When I think of this, I can't help but sigh with relish......
As soon as Li Ergou saw Zhang Ran's hair, he was about to drop to his chin, where could he not understand his intentions, and suddenly his black hair turned into a boy in Tsing Yi in an instant.
"The big boss, you can't be so shameless!"
"I've always treated you as a brother, but you've always thought about ......"
“...... Eat me!"
"Huh?" Zhang Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
A nameless coercion emanated from Zhang Ran's body, and Li Ergou suddenly felt as if he was carrying several mountains, and his liver was about to jump out of the pressure.
I couldn't help but kneel down with a weak knee, and begged in a trembling voice: "I beg the big boss to spare this dog's life for the sake of the villain in the past few years, without merit and hard work." ”
"Just change places, I promise to catch more rabbits for you!"
I didn't expect this black dog to look stupid and stupid, but his mind was so clear.
Zhang Ran found that his mind was pierced, his face changed a few times, and he simply spread it out and began to reason with Li Ergou patiently.
"It is said that cats and dogs are seven, even if you sacrifice one life this time, you still have six!"
"Li Ergou, why don't you change back into a dog first? Now that I'm in such a human form, I can't say anything I can't say......"
"No, I think it's fun to be human. ”
Li Ergou shook his head firmly, although maintaining a human form consumes true qi, but it is better than being eaten.
"And the big boss, you keep my little brother by your side, so that you can highlight your jade tree in the wind, heroic and vigorous ......"
I can't fool this dead dog, it's a little difficult to do.
As a good young man of the Celestial Empire, it is okay to eat dogs, but you can't do this thing.
Zhang Ran had no choice but to continue to persuade bitterly: "Look, now that there is no food in the inn, instead of both of us starving to death, it is better for you to exert your dedication and accumulate more merit for yourself." ”
"Li Ergou, I will remember you well. When I have achieved a little success in my cultivation, I will definitely set up an open and bright mound for you, so that you can enjoy the incense offerings in the world......"
It's an iron-hearted rhythm!
Li Ergou gritted his teeth and was ruthless, kowtowed and said: "Big boss, I know a big secret, if you ......"
Zhang Ran thought that he would not be easily broken by a secret, and after a while, he still felt that Li Ergou's previous words made a lot of sense.
This black dog has indeed lost a little weight, but I am afraid that it will be killed and eaten, and it will be difficult to support it until it succeeds in building its foundation.
He was born destined to be a big guy, but a big guy without a little brother, can he still be considered a big guy?
"Okay, you Li Ergou, you dare to hide secrets behind my back, and you won't tell me the truth!"
"The ...... of the Big Boss"
Zhang Ran washed his ears and was about to hear it, when suddenly a charming woman's voice came from behind him, which made people feel crisp to the bones.
"Little brother, can I hear any secrets together?"
