Outside the back door of the inn, a wide wooden bridge leads to the treehouse community not far away, and the elegant wooden houses are scattered among the towering trees, and the sparks are lit.

Ning Baifeng stood in front of an elegant wooden house, looking at Chef Lin, who was clumsy under the lantern, carrying a pot of wine, followed by a small servant carrying a tray, walking into the hut, and beckoning Ning Baifeng to come in to eat quickly before entering the door.

The cabin is not big, but it is very spacious inside, with a living room and a bedroom, enough for three or five people to eat and live.

Chef Lin put the wine and food on the table, lifted the wine urn and poured a big bowl for the old Taoist priest and himself, and smiled before saying a word.

"Old smoker, I haven't seen you for more than a hundred years, you are getting younger and younger, look at you like this, should I call you Yanxia Zhenjun." ”

The old Taoist priest picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "It coincides with its meeting, and it was not long ago that he entered the extreme of the earth immortals, and the Dan shattered the baby." ”

Chef Lin said with a smile: "Congratulations, according to your Taoism, this is from a real person to a true monarch, and one step further, that is to ascend to the sky." ”

The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, "The True Monarch is already an unexpected blessing, how dare you expect that Heavenly Immortal in the Upper Realm." ”

Chef Lin took a sip of wine and persuaded: "How can you say that, since you can be that Yuan Ying Di Immortal, how can you rest assured if you don't look up at the scenery above." If you can come by chance, maybe there will be a second time, do you say that's the reason? ”

The old Taoist priest wiped off the wine drops from the corners of his mouth, "The scenery above, there are many people who want to see it, and how many people can really see it, just the mysterious gate of the four realms, how many people are blocked, not to mention the heavenly gate, you can't see it, where to enter." ”

Chef Lin exhaled the smell of wine and sighed: "Xuan and Xuan, the door of all wonders, this sentence of your Taoist can be described as extremely incisive, the four realms are mysterious, it is indeed blocking too many people, even if you walk outside the door and step into the mirror, it is extremely difficult to touch the threshold of the mysteries." I have heard very little of the gate in heaven. ”

Ning Baifeng ate the delicious food and listened attentively to the conversation between the two, confirming what he had learned from Uncle Liu, and felt that he had benefited a lot.

Chef Lin poured wine for the old Taoist priest again, "Since you have become a true monarch, shouldn't you go back to Wanshou Mountain, rectify your broken Taoist temple, and open the mountain to accept apprentices." ”

The old Taoist priest said angrily: "No matter how broken the Taoist temple of Wanshou Mountain is, it will be a mountain, much stronger than the market in your rotten forest." ”

Chef Lin said disdainfully: "Strong fart, Lao Tzu's market is making money every day, and your Taoist temple has a little incense." ”

The old Taoist priest said disdainfully: "Philistine." ”

Chef Lin stretched out his hand to stop the old Taoist priest from holding the wine bowl, and scolded with a smile: "Then what are you doing with the wine bowl, don't touch this wine and food, it's very philistine." ”

The old Taoist priest's face tightened, and he changed the wine bowl to his left hand and poured it into his mouth without a trickle.

Chef Lin laughed, "It's been a long time since I've drunk so comfortably, old smoker, why are you happy to finish it, and then let's talk about something ugly." ”

Chef Lin smiled and looked into the eyes of the old Taoist, "I heard that you went to Binhai County with Xu Lu some time ago, calculate the time, it seems that you have not received my Feihe handbook, I originally planned to persuade you not to go, Binhai is already a dead end, if you are not careful, you will die, but it is still a step too late." ”

The old Taoist priest put down the wine bowl and said calmly: "So, what do you know?"

Chef Lin said: " The Xu family relied on Xu Lu's and the foundation of the city god's ancestor, and wanted to open up the fourth bazaar outside the three hundred miles of the forbidden area, and the location was picked, just in the fairy Ji Forest, although the royal family of the West Set Changsun had not yet spoken, but the Sun family in the north set could not bear it, blocking the Sun family's financial route, as the old saying goes, cutting off people's financial roads, like killing parents, with the gluttonous temperament of the Sun family who sat in the position of the prime minister of Daning, how could he let go of the Xu family, no, in just three months, the old prime minister Sun uprooted all the forces of the Xu family in the court, and even those who had anything to do with the Xu family did not let go。 The children of the Lin family in the capital came with the news that the Sun family had actually wanted to deal with the Xu family for a long time, and they started to lay out ten years ago, involving too much, the breadth of the layout, and the depth of the buried thread was simply appalling. ”

The old Taoist priest took a sip of wine, "It turns out that what the old Taoist saw in Xiangyun Mansion City two months ago was not the whole picture, but only the tip of the iceberg. ”

Chef Lin blinked and said, "Then you still go, and Xu Lu's friendship won't take your life." ”

The old Taoist priest smiled faintly, "Listen to this meaning, you are planning to make a move." ”

Chef Lin nodded and said: "Yes, although Lao Tzu doesn't have a good impression of that Xu Lu, he can't stand the friendship between the two of them, and he doesn't want to see you die in Binhai County, so he sent a message to the Junshui River Uncle and asked him to drag you down." ”

The old Taoist priest suddenly said: "No wonder the night before the Yuan Autumn Festival, the old Tao's qi machine was dragged in the City God Temple, but it was the handiwork of Junshui Hebo. In this way, Lao Dao has entered the killing game since he stepped into Xiangyun Mansion City, but he was intervened by you and picked up a life. ”

Chef Lin frowned, "Junshui Hebo didn't hold back?"

The old Taoist priest said: "After all, Hebo is not a qi practitioner, and his means are limited, although he has caused a lot of trouble, he is still repelled by the old Tao. I also went to the ancestral grave of the Xu family, and Xu Lu died in front of me, and in the end, if it wasn't for the fast escape of the old way, it would really be in the hands of the old tree demon as you said. ”

When Ning Baifeng heard this, he couldn't help but interject and asked, "Senior, I don't know what happened to the old man who took me to the valley?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head, "The fortune is too shallow, and I didn't escape." However, it was Li Fu, whose means were not weak, and he escaped with serious injuries. ”

Ning Baifeng's expression was gloomy.

Chef Lin, who was sitting next to Ning Baifeng, patted Ning Baifeng on the shoulder, took out a bowl, poured wine for Ning Baifeng, and sighed: "Life and death are fate, you can't force it, drink a glass of wine, swallow it in your stomach." ”

Ning Baifeng learned from Chef Lin, and heroically poured the wine into his throat, as if he wanted to swallow everything with the wine, but he was choked and coughed, and his face was flushed.

Chef Lin laughed.

Yuan Zhen immediately put down the big elbow in his hand, poured a bowl of water for Ning Baifeng, and glared at Chef Lin.

The old Taoist priest drank his wine and looked at the two teenagers with a smile.

Chef Lin coughed and said to the old Taoist: "Since the matter has come to an end, then you are here to go around the forbidden area." ”

The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "Yes, it coincides with Kaize, wouldn't it be a disadvantage to yourself if you don't turn around." ”

Chef Lin said: "Then I'm afraid you have to wait for another day, the poisonous miasma that usually disperses in about three days, this time it is expected to take four to five days." ”

The old Taoist priest was surprised: "Why?"

Chef Lin explained: "There is news from Xiji, which coincides with the big year this year, and Kaize will be a little later. ”

The old Taoist priest nodded, picked up the wine bowl, and motioned to Chef Lin to take a sip.

At the end of eating, Yuan Zhen had a round belly, and he added dishes three times halfway, while Ning Baifeng was thoughtful, and when he was full of food and drink, he accompanied Yuan Zhen to the next room to rest.

The old Taoist priest and Chef Lin were still drinking until the glass was dry, and they talked about the old days until late at night.

During this period, the two also talked about the matter at the entrance of the market, and Chef Lin laughed and scolded the old Taoist priest for being immodest and knowledgeable like a junior.

-----------

In the early morning of the next day, Ning Baifeng was woken up by Yuan Zhen, who had gotten up early, and said that there was some magical scene outside the window.

Ning Baifeng leaned to the window sleepily, only to see that the mist outside the window was filled, and some small things the size of a thumb and shaped like dragonflies flew around in the fog. It emits a gentle glow that haunts the outside of the treehouse.

After using the breakfast sent by Chef Lin, the old Taoist priest said that he was taking the two of them to visit the forbidden market, and when Yuan Zhen heard this, he immediately swallowed the breakfast three times and divided them by two, urging him to go out and have a look.

Helpless, Ning Baifeng had to hurriedly finish breakfast and come out.

The sun has risen, and the forbidden outside set has long been prosperous, Ning Baifeng and the three of them continue to move forward with the flow of people, and there are all kinds of hawkers walking by from time to time, and the items sold are strange, and some are even unheard of.

Since Yuan Zhen had the lesson of yesterday, he honestly followed behind the old Taoist, leaving only those big smart eyes to look at the novelties around him.

The old Taoist priest took the two of them around a few times and came to a more spacious wooden bridge, on both sides of which were lined with stalls of various colors, stretching into the distance, and there was almost no end in sight.

The old Taoist priest explained to the two: "This is the market of the East Forbidden Outer Market, but anyone who has goods can come here to sell, and the good or bad depends on their eyesight. Therefore, this is also a good place to pick up leaks, and you may only spend a few taels of silver to buy some rare treasures, and such things have not rarely occurred. ”

Ning Baifeng looked at a stall on the left hand side with large and small cages, and there were all kinds of little spirits in the cages, which were very strange.

The young shopkeeper who set up the stall looked at Ning Baifeng's curious gaze and greeted: "Young man, do you have a fancy to it, the price is negotiable." ”

The old Taoist priest shook his head and said to Ning Baifeng: "Let's go, there are a lot of these little elves in Xiangze, and it's okay to watch playthings, but they don't have much benefit in cultivation." It's like the morning mist crickets you see in the morning, it's not very useful, but it's better to look good. ”

Ning Baifeng and Yuan Zhen continued to walk forward with the old Taoist, and there were various vendors along the way, selling animal skins and bones, herbal weapons, and so on.

The three of them wandered until noon, and they were about to walk halfway through the market, and just as they were about to turn around, a stall caught Ning Baifeng's attention.

The stall is simple, with three wooden boxes, and three long swords are placed in the box, one of which is half-exposed and glowing.

Before he could start it, Ning Baifeng understood that this was a good sword.

Seeing that Ning Baifeng was staring at the long sword without turning his head, the old Taoist priest motioned to go up and take a look.

The shopkeeper is a stocky man, and his arms are exposed by his clothes with broken sleeves, as if he has been working hard for many years.

Ning Baifeng was very familiar with such a body shape and arms, because his father was a blacksmith, and his long years of ironwork had created his father's strong body.

Ning Baifeng stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pick up the sword, but a hand stretched out next to him to hold the sword, Ning Baifeng looked down, but it was a woman with a cold face.

The woman looked directly at the store and asked, "How much does this sword cost?"

The stout man replied, "Ten pieces of money." No counteroffer. ”

The woman's brows furrowed, "If I'm not mistaken, you are just a craftsman of the Mo family's apprentice level, and this sword grade will not be high, ten is too expensive, five is enough." ”

The stout man shook his head, "You can choose not to buy it." ”

The woman returned the sword into the sheath, put down the sword and turned away, crisply and neatly.

The old Taoist priest looked at Ning Baifeng, "How?"

Ning Baifeng glanced at the back of the woman leaving, shook his head in the same way, and turned to leave.

Shyness in the bag.

The old Taoist priest once again took the two teenagers to wander forward, looking at the novelties around them.

Until Wonjin exclaimed.
