Into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 8: There is an inn
Putting away the two gold ingots, Ye Feng smiled and shook his head politely rejected Shopkeeper Sun, who insisted on keeping a few drinks for himself, and got up and left the pharmacy.
Standing in the city of Jianye at nightfall, looking at the streets around which pedestrians were gradually sparse, the young man's heart became as empty as this quiet street.
"Is her name Jiaojiao?"
Somehow, Ye Feng's mind suddenly flashed the little girl in a red dress with a slanted ponytail, and her heart seemed to be crawling and biting countless ants.
"Lovesick and lovesick, do you know when you see each other?
The boy looked up at the starry sky and sighed emotionally...
"Boy, can you stop being sour?"
A nasal voice interrupted Ye Feng's thoughts.
"Who?"
Ye Feng turned his head left and right, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his hands posed in the Fuhu fist starting pose.
"You Uncle Yuanbao!"
With the thick nasal words, Ye Feng only felt that his shoulders sank, and the toad ingots had jumped out of the back basket and sat on the young man's shoulder, and a pair of frog eyes were looking at the young man proudly.
Seeing that it was actually a toad raised by himself spitting out words, Ye Feng was really a little unacceptable for a while, stared at Yuan Bao for a long time, and then asked in surprise: "Can you speak?"
"That's it!"
The toad ingots touched the frog's head with the frog's claws, and his tone was not without pride: "Hmph~ Uncle, I am very talented, and I can already speak human words after turning on the spiritual intelligence, but not any spiritual pet can speak when the spiritual wisdom is opened!"
"Great!"
Ye Feng, who knew the reason, was very happy and showed a heartfelt smile, "Then with you to talk to me in the future, I won't be bored when I'm in a hurry!"
"Don't come to this set, uncle, I'm very busy, how can I have time to chat with you!"
The toad ingot's tone was a little disdainful, but the chubby frog head turned away as if shyly.
Ye Feng couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this, and didn't go to his heart.
The boy looked up at the sky, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards an inn he had passed by, thinking that he would rest all night in the city before he could make his way.
Passing through an alley, a tall and a short suddenly appeared in the dark curtain of the night, and two black cloth masked guys blocked the young man's way.
"Little ghost! Acquaintances quickly hand over the gold and silver on their bodies! Uncle, I will spare you from death!"
The tall masked man shook the half-foot-long pig-killing knife in his hand.
"I don't have any money!"
Ye Feng shook his head calmly.
"Fart!"
The short masked man cursed.
"What are you pretending to be confused? What about the ten taels of gold that Old Man Sun gave you? If you know each other, hurry up and hand it over!"
As soon as the words came out, the short man knew that he had missed the filling, and raised his hand in annoyance and slapped himself.
"Hmph, I knew it was you!"
Ye Feng sneered disdainfully, looking at the masked guy Liu Er, his eyes became more and more cold.
"Suffer death, you!"
With the scolding, the tall masked man waved the pig-killing knife in his hand and stabbed Ye Feng in the lower abdomen.
Seeing that the other party was rushing towards him, Ye Feng never moved an inch, just when the tall masked man was eating away from him, the young man suddenly shook his body, grabbed the tall man's hand holding the knife with his left hand, and clenched his right hand into a fist and attacked the tiger fist two types of hidden dragons out of the sea quickly.
Boom~
The emaciated fist slammed into the tall man's heart with a bang, and the latter just snorted and passed out.
Immovable as a mountain, moving as thunder!
Letting go of the hand holding the tall masked man, Ye Feng squinted his eyes and walked slowly towards the young man Liu Er.
"Don't, don't kill me!"
Liu Er looked at Ye Feng, who was gradually approaching, his legs trembled like chaff, his knees fell to the ground with a soft pop, and he pleaded with a cry:
"Little grandpa, let me go! I'm just a money addict and want to rob some money and marry a mother-in-law... Please, little grandpa, raise your noble hand and let me go!"
Liu Er threw away the dagger and kowtowed his head non-stop.
"For the sake of Shopkeeper Sun, you must die!"
The young man Ye Feng was unmoved, standing in front of Liu Er and raising his fist.
Liu Er was broken by Ye Fengdao's thoughts, and suddenly knelt motionless in resignation, looking at the front with blank eyes, and smirking in his mouth, as if he had lost his mind and gone crazy.
Walking out of the alley and standing in the night, the young man Ye Feng's two hands clenched into fists had been trembling uncontrollably, and the rhythm of his breathing was also a little flustered, because this was the first time he had killed someone, but it was not the last time he had killed someone.
As the young man said, for the sake of the shopkeeper Sun, the guy Liu Er must die!
If he couldn't bear to let Liu Er go because of the moment in his heart, would this money-greedy guy let go of the shopkeeper Sun with Qinglingcao on his body?
The answer must be no!
So killing a villain to save a good guy is definitely worth it for Ye Feng!
"That's what it feels like to kill someone..."
Ye Feng stood on the empty street as if talking to himself.
"You're doing it right!"
The toad ingots climbed onto the boy's shoulder at some point, raised one of his front paws and gave him a thumbs up.
Ye Feng barely squeezed out a smile, but did not answer, still walking a little stiffly.
After only two steps, the young man suddenly heard a soft sound from the dantian under his abdomen, and then he felt that the whole person seemed to be embraced by a warm current, and a tingling sensation spread all over his body in an instant.
At the same time, the insignificant true qi that he had just cultivated in the dantian not long ago couldn't help but tremble with this feeling, and the qi cultivation in his body exploded rapidly at this moment, directly breaking through the bottleneck and reaching the early stage of the second realm!
"It's no wonder that all the cultivators in this world are willing to choose to practice qi, just killing someone can improve the realm, it's really a little too easy!"
Ye Feng, who had returned to normal, smiled dumbly, looked up at the inn with lanterns not far away, but turned around and walked in the direction of the city gate. He secretly said in his heart: "There are dead people in the city, and there will definitely be officers and soldiers to check tomorrow, so in order to avoid a long night of dreams, it is better to hurry up and go out of the city and find a random place to spend the night." ”

In the Heart Cultivation Hall of the Great Song Palace, Zhao Zhen, the Great Song Emperor wearing a nine-clawed golden dragon robe, was sitting in front of the paperwork at the moment and reading the folds.
Next to the red carpet under the steps of the clerical case, an old eunuch dressed in a purple robe with white hair, a long black hat, and his hands attached to him stood respectfully, and his figure was a little shy.
"Ah Fu, can Rui'er's cultivation improve?"
Zhao Zhen put down his hand, closed his eyes, raised his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
The old eunuch bowed slightly, and his smooth and beardless face showed a proud expression, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gifted and intelligent, and his qualifications are excellent, and his cultivation is even more diligent and hardworking.
"Hmph, you Ah Fu always likes to pick up some nice perfunctory and me!"
Emperor Song raised his hand and nodded at the old eunuch a few times, but his tone was full of relief, while the old eunuch named Ah Fu smiled apologetically and did not dare to refute.
Emperor Song slowly got up and moved his muscles, raised his hand and touched the dragon chair beside him, his expression was stunned, and he muttered to himself: "Fourth brother... Why are you doing this?"
With that, the man raised his head and closed his eyes, looking very struggling.
The eunuch Ah Fu stood silently on the side, looking at his nose and nose, but he didn't dare to speak.
After a long time, Emperor Song slowly opened his eyes, turned his head and said to Ah Fu: "Ah Fu, pass on my message, let Rui'er come back from Miaoyulou, and ask him to accompany the Queen Mother and the Queen well during this time, and after ten years, you are responsible for escorting him to Longyou City to find an opportunity!"
After a pause, the man's eyes flashed, "Do everything you can to make sure that he enters the gate of Taishang Jiuzhou Island!"
"The old slave obeys!"
The eunuch Ah Fu gave a deep salute, and the corners of his mouth raised a hint of joy.

The sun was shining, on the official road outside Longyou City, a thin boy suddenly jumped down from a slow ox cart, looked at the city wall not far away, and the young man strode towards the city gate.
The young man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a short stick pinned to his waist, and a basket on his back, and a sugar man was inserted in the gap between the bamboo strips of the basket, and the sugar man was already a little soft under the scorching sun, and he could no longer see his original appearance.
Raising his sleeves and wiping the sweat on his cheeks, Ye Feng smiled at the fat toad on his shoulder and said happily: "Ha! Yuanbao, do you see it?
After speaking, without waiting for Yuanbao to answer, the young man couldn't wait to run towards the gate of Longyou City.
It is said that after Ye Feng killed his buddy Liu Er that night, he immediately mixed up Jianye City, and ran for thirty miles in one go before finding a dilapidated house to make do with the night.
Then he met a small village on the road, and saw that there was a pair of lonely old people in the village who were very embarrassed and poor, so the young man gave most of his money to the two old people, and he took an ox cart to Longyou City with the help of the old man.
After entering the city, Ye Feng looked at the Longyou City in front of him, which was slightly larger than Jianye City, and his heart was no longer as amazed as before, because the various encounters encountered along the way had made this twelve-year-old boy gradually mature mentally.
After walking around the city, Ye Feng couldn't help but stop in front of an inn with two big red lanterns hanging at the door of his house.
Because the plaque at the door of this inn has four very interesting big characters written on it, there is an inn!
There are also sub-couplets hanging on both sides of the gate, the left couplet: come in early, come in late, come in early, come in late, and the right couplet: eat more, eat less, eat more, eat more.
"Heh~ It's kind of interesting, ingots. ”
Ye Feng smiled and said to the toad on his shoulder, and walked towards the inn.
The latter nodded at Ye Feng and did not answer, after all, the street is full of pedestrians now, and if the toad ingots speak, they have to be caught and studied and then made into a plate of spicy bullfrogs!
We haven't looked for the female toad yet, Yuan Bao thought to himself.
As soon as he entered the inn, Ye Feng regretted it, it was almost noon at this time, but there was not even a single guest in the inn!
Only a young man dressed as a bookkeeper standing at the counter, holding a book called Jin Zhumei in his hand, was reading with relish, and not far away there was a running boy with a rag on his shoulder, sleeping soundly on the table.
"Are you both blind? Don't you see any guests coming in?"
With a scolding sound, a plain-faced woman with a graceful posture pinching her waist with one hand appeared in Ye Feng's field of vision standing on the stairs of the inn.
"It's beautiful!"
Ye Feng and Yuan Bao admired at the same time in their hearts.
The woman on the stairs was wearing a milky white coarse cloth skirt, with a hairpin on her head, a delicate face that was as smooth as porcelain without a little powder, and the proportions of her facial features were almost perfect...
The plain-faced woman looked at Ye Feng embarrassedly, then looked at the account room who was reading the golden bottle plum and the guy who was still sleeping, reached out and took out a bronze mirror from her arms and threw it towards the account room.
"Are you all deaf?"
"Oops!"
The bookkeeper screamed, covered his head and looked at the woman with a look of grievance, and shouted with a cry in his voice:
"Little boss lady, this pick-up is not under my control!"
