55. Pick-up
The two of them enjoyed the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table, and it was getting dark outside.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, and several young men dressed as monks walked in and shouted, "Shopkeeper, good wine and good food are waiting, open four more upper rooms, and prepare hot water, the speed should be fast, do you understand?"
There were five people in total, two men, one woman and one old man. It was one of the men who spoke, a picture of a son of a family, and his tone was perverse.
The other man and the goddess are indifferent, with a kind of detachment like indifference to all beings, and their vision seems to be higher than that of the man who speaks.
The old man in the back is much more low-key, his eyes are slightly closed, he is silent, and he looks like a walker.
The shopkeeper was just a secular person, and when he saw that all the people who came were nobles with eyes on the top of their heads, and their eyebrows were flying, they knew that they were the masters who were waiting for them, so they nodded their heads and said yes, and hurriedly ordered those who ran to the hall to go down and do what they said.
The four of them picked the largest table and sat down, which happened to be next to Li Miao.
The monk who looked like a boy walked behind Xiao Yun, his eyes scanning Xiao Yun unscrupulously, revealing a bit of greed.
Although the little banshee's figure has not yet grown, her posture is already the best choice, and the feathers on her arms that are not completely transformed are not very obvious under the cover of clothes, and if you don't look closely, it looks like she is wearing a snow skirt embellished with feathers, adding a bit of elegance.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a rare and superb beauty.
Li Miao saw it in his eyes, and he didn't break it, he ate the food quietly, wanting to see what tricks the other party could make.
The cultivation of these four people is not very high, one is at the eighth level of qi refining, and two are at the ninth level of qi refining. That old man is a little stronger, but it's only in the early stage of condensation, and all of them add up to not enough for him to hit with one finger.
After the four people next door sat down, the young brother spoke: "This time, we have returned from the demon hunting on the outskirts of the Blood Mist Mountain Range, and we have made a lot of contributions, and after we go back, we will report to the dean, maybe we will have the opportunity to enter the inner courtyard of the Huangting Academy." ”
The other man's expression was cold, and he continued: "How can the inner courtyard be so easy to enter. Although a few of us are among the top ten disciples in the outer court, this bit of demon removal alone is far from enough to qualify for the inner court. Unless you can step into the realm of condensation before the age of twenty, it is all empty talk. ”
The name of Huangting Academy, Li Miao once heard a little.
It was a powerful force in Pangshan City, called the Academy, which was actually not a place to teach people to read and write, but a place to teach people to practice and seek the Tao.
There are many high-ranking hermits in the academy, and it is said that the strongest has reached the Xuantong realm, and there are no less than dozens of them in the Guiyuan realm, which is not far behind the four famous families of Pangshan.
However, Huangting Academy is slightly different from the sect, the sect teaches the profession, pays attention to the inheritance of master and apprentice, the sect has a strong sense of belonging, and the master and apprentice are as close as father and son, and the master will often teach his own skills.
The academy, on the other hand, is much freer, and will not restrict the coming and going of disciples, even if the disciples are from other major sects, they can be recruited correctly, as long as they pay enough spirit stones.
The requirements of the inner courtyard of Huangting Academy are stricter, not only the tuition fees paid for the spirit stones are more expensive, but the talent requirements are also very high. If the qualifications are not enough, no matter how many spirit stones are handed over, they will not accept them, for fear of encountering a stupid material like rotten wood and stubborn stones, and smashing their own signboards.
Of course, there are expensive benefits. The disciples taught by the inner courtyard of the Yellow Court have always been the best among the monks of the same realm, even if they have not become a strong party, and they are not a problem with more than one enemy.
It seems that these three young people are the disciples of the outer courtyard of Huangting Academy.
When Brother Gongzi heard the man's words, he was a little displeased, and pouted: "Senior Brother He, I know that the inner courtyard is not easy to enter, so you don't have to hit me like this." We finally got rid of so many monsters this time and made great achievements, just to receive rewards in exchange for honor. Even if you can't enter the inner courtyard of the Yellow Court, at least change some spirit stone pills, so that you can go to Baihua Lane to have a good time. Tsk, speaking of which, there have been a few new girls in Zixia Zhai in Baihua Lane recently, only fifteen or sixteen years old, all of whom are small and lovely people with beautiful faces. I really want to ......."
Boom.
The woman slapped the table, looked annoyed, and said coldly: "Zhu Zifeng, you yourself are despicable and unskilled, don't bring others." ”
The "others" in her mouth naturally refer to "Senior Brother He" He Xianyuan.
Brother Gongzi Zhu Zifeng looked at her as if she was defending He Xianyuan, but he was not angry, and snorted: "That's a good thing." Love and hate lust are human instincts, and no one is exempt from vulgarity. Could it be that you are allowed to secretly communicate with Senior Brother He, and I am not allowed to wish Zifeng to have fun?"
"You!"
The woman Yu Ruofei got up, and the table was directly smashed with a palm. She was furious, pointed at Zhu Zifeng and said, "You dare to slander the innocence of me and Senior Brother He, believe me or not...... Hmm, ahem......"
Before she finished her sentence, her face suddenly turned red and white, and blood spilled from the corners of her mouth.
This is clearly caused by the injury not healing, and the retrograde blood qi caused by the liver fire.
Seeing this, He Xianyuan hurriedly supported Yu Ruofei and carried her to another table to sit down.
Zhu Zifeng looked at it and smiled coldly, and said, "Did I tell me about the central matter? I have already seen through this bit of thing of yours." Yu Ruofei, you still want to teach me a lesson, if it weren't for my old servant Zhu Ke sweeping the formation, how could you have a chance to come and go in the dark, you would have been eaten by the Ning Zhen monster in your stomach a long time ago, and turned into a piece of demon beast in the Blood Mist Mountain Range. ”
Yu Ruofei was even more angry, her face was red and white, her apricot eyes were full of anger, and she coughed up two mouthfuls of blood foam.
He Xianyuan used his true qi to help her breathe, and said to Zhu Zifeng: "Senior Brother Zhu, don't go too far!" As he spoke, his eyebrows crossed his eyebrows, and the aura of the peak of qi refining was released, causing a gust of wind in the room.
The other guests in the inn were so frightened that they couldn't even take care of eating, so they dropped their money and ran out one by one, for fear that the two sides would fight and become the fish in the pond.
As soon as He Xianyuan's momentum was released, Zhu Ke, the old man who was condensing the true cultivation next to him, took a step sideways, blocked in front of Zhu Zifeng, and his slightly closed old eyes opened up slightly.
Once someone makes a move, he will stop the other party as soon as possible and protect his young master.
With the support of Zhu Ke, the old servant of Ning Zhen, Zhu Zifeng is arrogant, and he is not afraid of He Xianyuan and Yu Ruofei at all.
However, he didn't plan to completely fall out with the two, and said with a light snort: "For the sake of the academy classmates, I don't care about you. Then he walked straight to the table next to Li Miao and sat down.
"Two, I can't go all the way with those two companions, I want to share a table with you, I don't know if it's okay?" Zhu Zifeng said.
Li Miao raised his eyebrows.
He saw that the excitement was rising, and he didn't expect that the protagonist was actually sitting next to him, and looking at this, it seemed that he had plans to pick up a conversation.
couldn't help frowning: "What are you making fuss about, I don't want to be your actor." There are so many tables next to it, so it's cool and where to stay. ”
Li Miao could see Zhu Zifeng's thoughts.
This guy is a young master of a family, with extraordinary wealth, and even the servants accompanying him are a true monk.
The reason why I want to share a table with him is nothing more than to show off my magnanimity, let him and Xiaoyun flatter and cater to him, and be angry with He Xianyuan and Yu Ruofei.
But unfortunately, this time I found the wrong person.
Li Miao's words were not to give him any face, and he stayed cool, like driving away flies.
Zhu Zifeng's face sank at the moment, and he looked at Li Miao and said, "Do you know who you are talking to, I am the young pavilion master of the Illusory Sword Pavilion, and it is a blessing for you to be able to eat at the same table with me." ”
"Phantom Sword Pavilion, what kind of sect is that, why haven't I heard of it. Li Miao was puzzled.
He had basically heard of the sects in Pangshan County, and he would not feel completely unfamiliar to him if there were strong people in the sect with Xuantong powerhouses, or those with more Guiyuan monks.
And this Phantom Sword Pavilion, he is really unheard of, I don't know where it came from.
"You!"
The gloomy color in Zhu Zifeng's eyes flashed.
The old servant Zhu Ke felt something, took a step to Li Miao's side, and said in a low voice: "It seems that my friend is a foreigner and doesn't understand the rules of this place." Although our Phantom Sword Pavilion is not as prosperous as the four famous sects and the Huangting Academy, it is also one of the few major sects in Pangshan City, and the four Guiyuan powerhouses are in charge, and even the city lord does not dare to underestimate it. You'd better apologize and admit your mistakes to my young master now, otherwise...... Hmph, in Pangshan City, there will be no place for you. The tone was full of threat.
"It's not enough to apologize. ”
Zhu Zifeng's eyes were fierce, staring at Xiao Yun, who was dressed in white and acting a little restrained, and said with a wicked smile: "You still have to give this woman to me to play with for seven days before you can quench the fire in my heart." ”
He had premeditated it, and he began to make up his mind from the first time he saw Xiaoyun.
fell out with He Xianyuan and Yu Ruofei, just to show off his family background.
Their cultivation is insufficient, they can't see through the details of Li Miao and Xiaoyun, they only have no cultivation breath, they are mortal bodies, they are businessmen who came to Pangshan City to do business, and they can only be at the mercy of immortal cultivators.
But I don't know that there are people outside the world, and the beautiful girl sitting in front of them is actually a big demon in the Guiyuan Realm. And Li Miao is even more of an unreasonable freak, not long ago, he used the mid-stage cultivation of Ning Zhen as his hand to slash two big demons and a group of small demons.
There was silence in the inn.
Li Miao tapped his forehead, a little annoyed.
It's not because I'm afraid of the strength of the Phantom Sword Pavilion.
Although the four Guiyuan monks are not weak, they are just a little tricky for him who has just broken the Hantan Demon Lair.
Mainly because the opponent is too weak. Working with such a person is simply lowering your own value.
But everyone else has been bullied, and he can't do it if he doesn't respond.
"Xiaoyun, they want to play with you, you can do it yourself. Li Miao pursed his lips and simply kicked the question to the little banshee.
Anyway, Zhu Zifeng's target is Xiaoyun, and it has nothing to do with him. Xiao Yun is a demon cultivator in the middle stage of the Guiyuan Realm, and it is more than enough to deal with such two monks, he just needs to watch the excitement.
Zhu Zifeng didn't know what Li Miao was thinking, and when he saw him say this, he also said that he was scared, showing a smug look, and smiled lewdly at Xiaoyun: "Hehe, little sister, it seems that your friend doesn't want you anymore." Let's go with Master Ben, I'll take you to enjoy all the good things in the world~"
As he spoke, he grabbed Xiaoyun's white-skinned jade hand.
Who knew that his arrest came to naught.
The little banshee, who looked harmless, left her seat in a flash, hid behind Li Miao, frowned and said, "I don't play with them." Master, let's go, these two people are not at ease. ”
Her movements were so fast that she switched positions in the blink of an eye, and only Li Miao could see clearly among those present.
Zhu Zifeng was disappointed, and he was surprised, and after listening to Xiaoyun's words, he was very dissatisfied.
He ordered the old servant: "Zhu Ke, take her down for me!"
Lao Suo Zhu Ke seemed to see something famous, and he was a little hesitant and didn't dare to make a rash move.
Zhu Zifeng said again: "Why are you stunned?
"Yes, young master. Lao Suo used his mana, and his right hand was in the shape of an eagle's claw, and he grabbed it towards Xiaoyun.
Zhu Ke Ningzhen's early cultivation can barely be called a master, and his grasping techniques are also very sophisticated, obviously he has used such tricks a lot, and he is very handy in catching people.
Xiao Yunkong has a Taoist body, but he doesn't know how to fight at all, seeing this, he hurriedly retreated, and exclaimed: "Ah, this old thing is bad, the master quickly save me~" Fleeing to the side in embarrassment, he didn't look like a big demon at all.
Li Miao couldn't cry or laugh.
She is a great demon of the Guiyuan Realm, why is she so useless?
was so frightened by his fierce might that he knelt down and begged for mercy before, after all, the difference in strength was there, and it was understandable.
But this old man's cultivation is more than one big realm lower than her, and her combat methods are only at an ordinary level, she still can't show the courage to resist, she only knows that she runs away everywhere, which can be said to have lost the face of the Guiyuan Great Demon.
Seeing Zhu Ke chasing after Xiaoyun, Li Miao sighed helplessly, so he had to say, "That's it, let's do it." ”
He put down the bowl and reached out with his right hand to grab it.
Zhu Ke, who was about to pursue Xiaoyun, fixed his dry hand in mid-air, and he pinched his wrist, unable to move.
Li Miao made a quick move, and before others could see the movement clearly, he had already held Zhu Ke steadily.
With a slight force in his hand, the strong force suppressed Lao Suo to death, and at the same time, a momentum equivalent to the mid-stage cultivation of Ning Zhen was released, and a coercion immediately appeared on everyone's bodies.
"You, you're ......"
Lao Suo wished Ke a big shock.
He wanted to break free of Li Miao's hand, but his wrist seemed to be pressed by a giant elephant, and no matter how hard he tried, he didn't move.
Feeling the strong aura on Li Miao's body, he immediately knew that he had kicked the iron plate, and hurriedly said: "Fellow Daoist, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" The old face was full of horror.
Zhu Zifeng, He Xianyuan, and Yu Ruofei were also frightened by that breath. His eyes widened, looking at Li Miao's young face, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The three of them were the best disciples of the outer courtyard of the Huangting Academy, ranking in the top ten, and they were very hopeful of entering the inner courtyard and receiving personal guidance from the elders of the academy.
But in front of Li Miao, they found out how ridiculous the talent they were proud of was.
The man in front of him looked a few years older than them, but his cultivation had already crossed the threshold of condensation, and even reached the middle stage of condensation.
This is an amazing achievement that even many inner court disciples can't achieve, I'm afraid that even in the inner courtyard of the Yellow Court, the talent is better than him, and it is not more than a palm.
Under the shocked gaze of everyone, Li Miao said lightly: "Misunderstanding? Wasn't it quite capable just now, why did you misunderstand?"
"This, this ......"
