Chapter 15: Bad News Comes
After Shen Sanjian left Tianyin Mountain, he went all the way to the east, probably because he drank alcohol, and his flight was not stable at all, swaying, as if he would fall down in the next second. He doesn't care about that, because he thinks life has to be free. This time, for a snack, he went thousands of miles to the nearest town of Yuanqiao to eat a roast goose.
Shen Sanjian was afraid that he would run out of wine before he arrived in Yuanqiao Town, so he sped up, and it didn't take long to arrive at Yuanqiao Town, which was still the same restaurant. After walking in, Xiao Er saw him and came up to ask: "The real person is here, the small shop is full of splendor, and the real person is still three people?
Hearing the shopkeeper ask so many questions, Shen Sanjian felt irritable, so he said: "There are so many questions, just me, just sit in the lobby, it's still the same." Remember, the roast goose must be freshly baked. ”
"Okay, please wait patiently for a while, and the wine and food will come up in a while. Xiao Er wiped the table with the towel in his hand, and then retreated.
Although this restaurant is small, it is the most famous restaurant in town. There are a lot of merchants coming and going, and the business in the store is also very good.
Shen Sanjian's wine and food came up one after another, the side dishes were faster, Shen Sanjian ate more elegantly, and drank wine with a wine glass, but when the roast goose came up, everything changed. After the roast goose came up, Shen Sanjian squatted directly on the stool, and the wine in the wine pot was too lazy to pour it into the wine glass, and directly poured it into his mouth with a wine gourd.
Shen Sanjian said to himself: "It's so fragrant, this is called living!" Shen Sanjian ate more and more fragrant, and finally directly picked up the roast goose and gnawed it. When the surrounding diners saw this scene, they all began to point their fingers, and most of them would say, "Do you think that Taoist priest is still a cultivator? Even if you drink alcohol, you still eat meat like this, which is really insulting to the name of a Taoist priest." ”
Although Shen Sanjian heard it, he still chose to go in and out of his left ear and out of his right ear, and he didn't care about these gossips, the more powerful they said, the more he thought about it.
The shopkeeper came over with a hunched waist and said to Shen Sanjian: "Real person, this is a half-catty flower carving given to you by the villain, it is not a tribute, and I hope that the real person will accept it with a smile." Shen Sanjian is a very easy-going person, took the wine and looked at the shopkeeper, and asked, "It is said that there is no free lunch in the world, what does the little second brother mean?"
The shopkeeper was embarrassed and said: "The villain has seen a real person compete with a black-robed young man, both of them are very superb in swordsmanship, the villain likes to dance with guns and sticks, I hope the real person can teach me a few tricks." ”
Hearing a few tricks, Shen Sanjian almost didn't spit out the wine in his mouth, and said: "Little second brother, don't say whether you have water in this wine, just the few tricks you said in your mouth are really not so easy to learn." ”
The shopkeeper didn't know that Shen Sanjian was a master of wine tasting, he wanted to use the water-mixed Huadiao wine to fool Shen Sanjian, and then learn a trick and a half by himself to make a living. The shopkeeper blushed and said: "Real person, it's a villain, the villain shouldn't fool the real person, and I hope the real person doesn't know the villain in general." ”
Shen Sanjian gnawed the roast goose completely, then rolled up his sleeve and wiped his mouth, and said, "Okay, seeing that you are so sincere, I will pass you two tricks." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he nodded and said, "Thank you real person, thank you real person......"
Shen Sanjian turned on the flickering mode and said, "If you want to learn a trick and a half, you have to know what we cultivators are learning." Let me give you an example first, beginner cultivators need to learn, be able to open valleys, be able to make wishes, understand gossip, be able to do arithmetic, be able to chant poetry, be able to paint, be able to stroke the qin, be able to calligraphy, play Go, dance sword weapons, debate medicinal materials, and understand medical science. Intermediate cultivators need to learn that they can know astronomy, geography, freehand, splash ink into landscapes, cut off life and death, look at wealth and wealth, and hold the world in a teacup, with a lot of wealth in their sleeves. Advanced monasticism must be learned, heaven and earth Yu step wind and water, find the dragon point to call the wind and rain, go to the sky and change the country, and retreat to the mountains and forests when you become famous, glory and wealth, and smoke and clouds. I don't know if the second brother wants to learn that one-and-a-half-trick?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper was stunned, and the shopkeeper asked cautiously, "Will the real person just say that?"
Shen Sanjian held a toothpick in his mouth and said, "It's so-so! It's nothing, it's nothing." ”
The shopkeeper showed a look of admiration and asked, "Can that real person teach me medical science?" I want to be a doctor who hangs a pot to help the world. ”
Shen Sanjian picked up the wine sent by the second brother and drank it and said, "It's easy to say, it's not just medical science, it's a piece of cake, I won't." ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper was a little angry, but he still held back and continued to ask, "What about the sword dancing weapon, the medicinal herb or something?"
Shen Sanjian was busy drinking, and said without raising his head: "No!"
Dian Xiaoer tried to control his emotions, looked at his hand and continued to ask: "Real person, is it okay to paint and touch the qin?" I read books for two days when I was a child, and I understand a little bit. ”
Shen Sanjian still didn't look up, and said, "No!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked, "What will the real people do?"
Shen Sanjian still didn't look up, and said: "What will it be, let me think about it, is drinking counted? It's the kind that is very powerful, the kind that doesn't get drunk after a thousand cups, do you want to learn it." ”
The shopkeeper couldn't bear it anymore, he carefully observed the person in front of him, and the real person he had seen before, the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more he didn't look like it, and then he realized that the person in front of him was a liar. The shopkeeper snatched the wine jug from Shen Sanjian's hand.
The shopkeeper snatched it and found that there was no drop left, and scolded angrily: "You charlatan, cheat my wine, you pay for my wine." ”
Shen Sanjian raised his eyebrows and asked: "Little second brother, you can't talk nonsense, tell me how I ever lied to your wine, you have to give me wine to drink, I didn't force you!"
The shopkeeper was angry and couldn't speak, so he left angrily, but he still quietly recorded the wine just now to Shen Sanjian's account.
The first time Shen Sanjian saw the shopkeeper, he knew that this person was not honest when he saw his face, and now he has no ability, if he has some ability, he will definitely bully men and women, and then Shen Sanjian is the person who is most annoyed by mixing water with wine, because he thinks that this is a tyrannical thing.
Li Qingxiu walked out of the house, and was worried about how Yuanxi would eat, when he found a lactating sika deer in front of him, and said: "It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." After speaking, Li Qingxiu started to grab the sika deer, and when the sika deer saw someone coming, he was frightened and began to run away.
Seeing that the sika deer was frightened away, Li Qingxiu also ran away and chased the sika deer.
Li Qingxiu ran very fast, but he couldn't catch up with the sika deer, and he didn't dare to chase after it, for fear of exhausting the sika deer to death. Li Qingxiu said to himself: "In order to protect the sika deer, it seems that you can only outwit it." Li Qingxiu slowed down his pace, and slowly stopped, and the sika deer slowly stopped.
Li Qingxiu slowly approached the sika deer, tore off a vine from the side, and tied the neck of the sika deer with a live buckle.
Li Qingxiu's eyes were quick, and he hugged the sika deer at once, then stroked the neck of the sika deer and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, just borrow your milk." ”
Back home, Li Qingxiu tied the sika deer to the door post and shouted: "Daughter-in-law, quickly bring a bowl, come and get some milk for the child." ”
Li Qingxiu's daughter-in-law took out Yuan Xi, and at this time, Yuan Xi was already asleep. Li Qingxiu asked, "Why did the child sleep? Is he hungry?"
"When you come back, the child must be hungry, and he has just been fed some broth, and now he is tired and asleep. Bai Ling said angrily.
After Shen Sanjian was full of wine and food, he took a full distance, touched his propped belly, and shouted, "Little second brother, settle the bill!"
The shopkeeper came over with an abacus and said angrily: "A total of two coins of silver!"
Shen Sanjian touched his whole body, but he didn't find a penny. At this time, the true nature of the shopkeeper was revealed, and he instantly changed his face, beckoned, and a few guys came, surrounding Shen Sanjian there. The shopkeeper said: "Eat white food! Don't ask what kind of place this is, our boss's brother-in-law is the head catcher in this town, if you don't want to go to prison, you can honestly send the money over." ”
Shen Sanjian only remembered at this time that he was a cultivator, and he had no concept of copper-smelling things, and he used to pay for drinking, so it led to such an embarrassment. Under the eaves of people, how can you not bow your head, Shen Sanjian is a reasonable person, and this matter is his own fault, so he said: "Little second brother, can you be accommodating with the boss and let me go back to get the money." ”
The shopkeeper said contemptuously: "Just you, a poor Taoist priest, look at your tattered clothes, how can you have money?"
What the shopkeeper said is quite right, Shen Sanjian didn't have much money in the first place, and he was poor. Shen Sanjian was very unhappy when he heard the shopkeeper say this, and said: "Little second brother, we have something to say, why are you scolding me? Haven't you heard of a real person not showing his face? Look at me, I look like a person who has become an immortal, how can I not pay attention to my own reputation? There should be more trust between people, so you can wait patiently for me?" After speaking, Shen Sanjian carefully picked up the sword on the table and prepared to leave.
Dian Xiaoer grabbed Shen Sanjian's sword and said, "Look at your sword is good!
Although this sword is not a peerless sword, it means a lot to him, because it is the only relic left by his master.
Just as Shen Sanjian and the shopkeeper were chattering, the purple-winged bat suddenly flew in through the window. Seeing the purple-winged bat, Shen Sanjian hurriedly stretched out his arm and grabbed the letter thrown by the purple-winged bat. Shen Sanjian said to the shopkeeper: "Look, someone has sent me money." ”
The shopkeeper was amazed by the purple-winged bat just now, and felt that the Taoist priest in front of him was a master of the world, and he thought of his attitude just now, and regretted it very much.
Shen Sanjian didn't care about others, opened the envelope, and the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows became, and after reading the letter, he smashed the table with one palm.
