The Past of Jiangdu Chapter 4 The Past of the Inn Tavern Listen
After knowing that the shopkeeper would help, Luo Gan's heart was inexplicably much more relaxed.
He went out with the flow of people, and at this time Yun Jingzhen had already led the refining corpse to the river to fight, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that she did not have an advantage in strength in this battle, and was mostly on the side of passive defense.
The girl's body is weird, and the attack knife of the corpse refining is aimed at the vital point, but it is always just right for her to dodge.
Whenever the people who sat and watched the fight predicted that she would retreat, this girl always did the opposite, playing the corpse in circles, and even found time to shout sorry when innocent pedestrians were injured in the aftermath of the battle.
After seeing that the shopkeeper also beckoned people to come over to help, Luo Gan finally relieved. After this period of turmoil, you shouldn't miss the meal.
As he was thinking about it, he heard someone in the crowd shouting at him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Yun Jing's senior brother who brought Yang Pugui over.
Watching the two of them squeeze in from the crowd, the first thing Luo Gan said to the senior brother was, "You guys are finally here, go and help." Riverside ......"
"I know," the senior brother's face was calm, "this is the enemy we have been chasing all the way, is it a dog jumping off the wall today?"
Looking at the past, it was easy for the shopkeeper and Yun Zhen to work together to deal with the corpse refining, and after a while, the corpse refining was defeated and retreated.
Seeing the two of them at ease, Luo Gan said happily: "It seems that it's okay, Miss Yun is really not an ordinary person, and she can even let the shopkeeper of the inn help." ”
"Hehehe, refining corpses is not so easy to deal with, mainly because of the stamina and difficulty. However, since it is artificially refined, it must not be far away from its owner. ”
Yun Zhen's senior brother smiled and hugged his fist at them, "I'll find out the manipulators behind the scenes, two brothers, please." ”
"Me and ......" Before the words "you" could be spoken, Luo Qian was grabbed by Yang Pugui, and the senior brother smiled at them, and then shook off the folding fan and entered the crowd.
Luo Gan understood that Yang Pugui wanted him to be nosy.
The two met again and quickly discussed their next move. When they left the Jiangdu Inn, the refining corpse had already been tied up and carried away.
"With so much going on today, it is estimated that the inn will close soon. I found out that there was a tavern in town, so let's go there and find out.
By the way, I bought scallion pancakes and boiled eggs, let's deal with it like this at night, we don't have any spirit stones on us......"
The two of them skirted the inn and walked along a secluded dirt road, which was the city of Jiangdu. A few years ago, it was initially reclaimed, scattered with households, and the market, so far it looks like a small township, but it has been called a "city" by the light of the Jiangdu Inn and the Bamboo Forest Sect.
Jiangdu Inn is located at the gate of the city, established only for more than ten years, enjoying the prosperity of incompatibility, its rise is still a mystery.
However, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. Each family is self-sufficient and still avoids not opening transactions.
There is no strict enforcer to govern them, and if there is a demand, they will go out to set up stalls, among them, the riverside in front of the Jiangdu Inn is a popular stall, which is not something that ordinary people can occupy.
As long as you occupy that stall, the things you sell will be watched again, after all, the traffic is there. According to the statistics of unknown amateur cultivators, the Jiangdu teleportation point was open ninety-six times in a day, and each time a minimum of four people could enter, and the maximum number of people could reach twenty or thirty.
Of course, friction tends to arise when it reaches its highest when it is open.
Very few people bypass the inn to enter the city, and today is an exception. In a way, today's business in the city is still a loss to the corpse.
When the roadside stalls saw people coming in, their faces became like sunshine, and the vendors who had been playing haha or leaving their stalls to go home to cook rice jumped out and shouted when they heard the sound of people.
Luo Gan and the others walked and looked, and they both found that the things sold in the city were obviously better than those outside.
He didn't know much about it, he couldn't see why, he only knew that the city was at least not like outside, and a piece of rag was also taken out and sold for dozens of spirit stones.
And he couldn't even afford to eat noodles.
Each vendor greeted them warmly, and they were embarrassed to walk by. Fortunately, a small number of cultivators had entered the city before, and now a few were watching things at the stalls.
The tavern is at the end of the road, and strings of lanterns hang high in the doorway.
Luo Qian suddenly thought of a question, "Brother Yang, we don't have any spirit stones, are we sure we won't be beaten when we enter the tavern?"
"Don't worry, this tavern owner collects copper plates ......"
Jiangdu City is such a place where there is a lack of system, and it all depends on the righteousness of the cultivators to maintain order.
After the two men entered the tavern, they didn't realize that they were already followed by a short man wearing a hat.
They lavishly asked for two jars of wine and sat down in the corner, and the man of unknown origin sat silently at the table next to them.
At this time, there were more than a dozen people sitting in the tavern, and the appearance of this person did not attract Luo Gan's attention.
They poured a few bowls of wine to quench their cravings and began to try to talk to the people around them.
Yang Pugui turned around and was the man with the hat, and the other party was silent and did not talk to them, so they turned to talk horizontally.
So I ran into an uncle who was talking about anecdotes and foaming at the mouth.
When the uncle heard what they said, he stared at him for a long time and replied, "You come to Jiangdu to find someone surnamed Mu? There are several people with the surname Mu." ”
His friends at the same table chimed in.
Luo Gan asked again: "It's a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, he should have been here more than ten years ago." ”
"We've only moved in for a few years, but it's ......"
"Big brother, isn't the shopkeeper of the Jiangdu Inn also surnamed Mu?"
After being reminded by his friend, Uncle Bearded immediately remembered, "Haven't you two boys heard of the shopkeeper of Jiangdu Inn?"
Luo Qian and Yang Pu were stunned and glanced at each other.
"He's a well-known figure, don't you know?" said the bearded uncle, pouring a bowl of wine.
"Seventeen years ago, when I first entered Jiangdu, I joined forces with my friends to seal a big scourge in Jiangdu, and since then I have settled in Jiangdu City, and I have gone out on adventures many times, and a year later I found something amazing at the source of this river. ”
The uncle's words stopped, and he was very proud to see the curiosity of the two young students aroused.
So he cleared his throat before continuing: "No one knows what it is, but he made a windfall anyway.
The man surnamed Mu occupied nearly four acres of land outside the city, and together with the next section of the river, he built this large inn in the middle, and reclaimed wasteland around it to grow herbs.
The inn also provides accommodation, as well as entertainment. If the nobles want to hold a banquet, they can contract it.
However, the land over there is occupied, and the residents of the city are not satisfied. However, after the shopkeeper issued a notice to recruit people for the inn, no one said anything. ”
"One job bought you off?" Yang Pugui was shocked.
"Hehe, what do you mean? Now no one else can ask for it. ”
The uncle's friend also laughed: "We're late, we didn't know such a thing before." Those who dared to try that year not only cultivated to soar, but also had their own big house in Jiangdu City.
Just east of the city, across this street, the house over there is large and quiet, which is the most suitable for cultivation. ”
Luo Gan couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard this, could it be that his biological father's friend was really the shopkeeper surnamed Mu?
Now he was a little undecided. He asked weakly, "Do you know where that friend of his is?"
"Friend?" the uncle touched his head, "You mean the monk who helped him seal the demon beast, we don't know, we should leave Jiangdu." ”
"Do you know his name?"
The uncle was embarrassed: "This was seventeen years ago, and we were still wandering around outside seventeen years ago!"
Luo Gan felt a little discouraged, he wasn't sure if it was this person. The wooden shopkeeper is such a big man, if he has the recklessness to ask, who can give him a table?
He had never seen such a situation, and he couldn't stop playing the drums in his heart, thinking that finding out the whereabouts of his biological father was just a trivial matter, and on the other hand, he was worried that he would offend the big guys.
And Yang Pugui continued to ask about these past events with great interest, which sounded dispensable to Luogan.
“...... At the end of the year, a thousand green spirit stones will be rewarded?"
"Yes, more capable ones. Last year, I heard that the second-in-command of the inn received 7,000, and I told you that the disciples of the Bamboo Forest Sect next door did not have this kind of year-end reward for their hard work.
The inn includes food and lodging, including teaching, and will also help manage wives and children. ”
"Also, can you teach cultivation methods?" Yang Pugui's eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity.
"Every month, I will invite advanced seniors to teach the cultivation method to the inn employees, these seniors may not be able to invite the Bamboo Forest Sect next door!"
"Are you talking about the Jiangdu Inn? I've heard that there will be more new people for a while......
At this point, the other drinkers in the tavern also paid attention, and they joined in the discussion, and everyone here was not able to enter the Jiangdu Inn, and they were all envious of the hired workers there for a while.
The hall was full of drinkers and talked together for a long time, and there was not a drop of wine left, and it was already late at night.
The two jars of wine bought were drunk by Yang Pugui, and Luo Gan was worried that he would get drunk, so he just listened to them silently.
He had already guessed that Brother Yang was so excited tonight that he might have to drink it.
Sure enough, Brother Yang drank crookedly, and he still had to help him out.
The night in Jiangdu seems to be no different from the world, the lack of moon hangs high in the treetops, and there is silence and no one around.
The stalls by the roadside were confiscated, and the monks had closed their doors and extinguished their candles.
The moonlit night was not bright, and there were no lights on the side of the road. Luo Gan was helping Brother Yang while touching the wall, and he had a little difficulty walking.
Yang Pugui saw the magic weapon on the stall in front of him in a half-asleep and half-awakened, and immediately shouted: "Luo Gan! look, there are so many treasures!"
Luo Qian was also a little puzzled, didn't the monks in Jiangdu City have the habit of collecting stalls?
"Wow, look at that sword!" Yang Pugui broke away from Luo Gan and walked to the nearest stall, the most delicate weapon he had ever seen was his own axe.
The ancient sword on the stall floated with a silver glow in the faint moonlight, and he instinctively thought it was a good sword, and great temptation came from there, attracting him to speed up his crooked pace.
"Wait, Brother Yang!" Luo Gan had just called out to stop him, when he suddenly heard a scream not far away, and the surroundings suddenly became brightly lit, only to find a figure lying in the corner in front of him.
The sound of "squeak" sounded one after another, and all the nearby residents came out.
