When they went downstairs, there was an empty table and chair next to the door and window, and a few people walked away, and as soon as they sat down, they saw the shopkeeper come up with some simple food. They came to Lingzhou City for a purpose, and they were very cautious and careful about the surrounding environment and people.

On the first floor of the inn, there are not about a dozen tables and chairs, four wooden pillars support the roof beams, some craft wine jars are placed on the side of the stairs, and there is only a shopkeeper who collects accounts in sight, and the back kitchen is unknown.

Looking around at the visitors sitting around, there were a few people who were quite eye-catching. There were two middle-aged men sitting at the table beside him, and seeing that the two of them had strong arms, and there were still marks left by fire on their arms, they must be the guys from the blacksmith shop. On the upper seat sat three sword guards with knives, and the scimitar round hat was supposed to be the official messenger. And there is a table in the dark corner of the most peculiar, this man should be a lone knight, a big hat pressed very low to see his face clearly, on the table is only two small drinks of rice wine and a wine gourd brought by himself, a robe covers his underwear, ordinary straw shoes, as if wrapped in a strip of cloth The sword is flat on the table, silent.

Lian Ci had been observing the man in the cloak since he came down the stairs, and whispered, "The lone ranger at the table is not simple!"

Ming Chang tilted his head and pretended to glance at the tea, and said, "Indeed, I also noticed. This person seems to have an extremely high fate, but he is unpredictable and hidden very deeply!"

Because the table was close to the window, I suddenly heard a conversation of a few beggars outside the window:

"At twelve o'clock tonight, in the Yanhuang Temple in the east of the city, Chen Duo will come to preside over the meeting and inform all the brothers in the city!"

"But what is there to discuss?"

"Hey, it's not that Lingzhou City has not been peaceful recently, and the helmsman plans to lead the brothers to change places to beg for a living!"

Turning his head, he saw three beggars in the corner outside the window underestimating, and saw that although the three of them were shabby and thin, they were still quite temperamental. Different from ordinary beggars, everyone holds a broken bowl in their left hand and a bamboo stick in their right hand.

"The beggar gang, is it the number one gang in the rivers and lakes? It's the first time I've seen it!"

Ming Chang's focus is different, and he sighed lightly: "At twelve o'clock tonight, Yanhuang Temple in the east of the city!"

"What's wrong?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that they say that Lord Chen has some friendship with me, and I think he should know a lot about the plague in the city. I'm going to meet this old friend tonight!"

A few people were just discussing the beggars, but they were interrupted by a shouting outside the store.

"The five elements of yin and yang, the four elephant gossip, the fortune telling, the magic calculation!"

Looking up again, this person is no stranger, it is the fortune teller he just met outside the city. The next moment, the old man stepped into the inn, but before he had taken two steps, the shopkeeper came forward.

The shopkeeper took a closer look at the old man, and saw that his clothes were clean, but according to years of experience, it is estimated that most of him is a swaggering old half-immortal, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he took the initiative to cater to him and said: "Old half-immortal, I'm really embarrassed, you see that the small shop is full, I'm afraid there is no ......."

Before the guy finished speaking, the half-immortal intercepted: "Hahaha, it's okay! Today's old student has his own fate to help him, but does the young man want me to give you a fortune divination in this small shop and help you calculate your fortune and so on?"

Seeing that the old man was talking nonsense, and seeing that the soft tricks didn't work, he made it hard, and said: "Old half-immortal, I think you still go elsewhere to cheat!" Don't ......."

The old man didn't care about obstruction, but walked towards the house with the cloth flag, walked to the three officials with knives, pointed to one of them, and said nonsense: "Hehe, this little brother is probably an official in the yamen! You will be able to solve the big case in less than seven days, and you will definitely be promoted to an official and make a fortune." It's just that your methods are not clean, I think these two brothers around me have been fallen into the well by you!"

The official who was pointed at was still proud when he heard it, but when he heard the second half, he seemed to have been poked in the weakness, slapped the table angrily, got up and scolded: "You!" It can be seen that the two colleagues next to him are indifferent, and their faces are still a little gloomy. And there are many eyes and ears around here, and he is not too public, so he swallowed his evil breath and sat down.

The old man snorted coldly, turned around, swept his eyes for half a circle, but only stopped at Lu Yu's table and walked forward. changed his face and said: "I'm afraid these five little friends are not simple, but I think the fate of the five of you will change in the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few months, and it will be ...... , especially this ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was pulled away by a few kitchen men called by the shop guys, and shouted: "Old half-immortal, I'm not welcome if you talk nonsense here again, don't get out of here!"

The old half-immortal flicked his sleeves, straightened his head, met Lu Yu's gaze, and said meaningfully: "Hahaha, don't worry, there will be a chance to meet in the future!" After speaking, he put up a cloth banner and strode out of the inn, shouting: "Touch the bones and tell fortunes, and there is no last resort!" As he spoke, he disappeared into the crowd.

The guy in the shop was relieved to see that the old liar was gone, and bowed to the guest officer in the store and apologized: "I hope you will forgive me, this old half-immortal is probably confused, just say some nonsense, please don't take it to heart!"

After everyone greeted each other, they returned to the same as before, but it was clear that several of them looked at each other, their faces were gloomy, and their hearts were faintly uneasy.

Kong Xian said in a low voice: "Just now I saw that the old half-immortal was always staring at Brother Lu, but what clues did I see?"

Lu Yu and the old half-immortal looked at each other a few times, and after thinking for a while, they also felt inexplicable, and guessed randomly: "I learned some Fuxi sixty-four hexagrams from my master on the mountain before, and eighty percent of them were the old man who saw me......

Ming Chang also took a closer look and said: "Well, I hope it's the old half-immortal who is talking nonsense, but I don't think he walks, gasps, and speaks like an ordinary person, and he probably isn't an idle person!"

Ben was still talking about the old fortune teller from before, but he heard Lian Ci pointing to the side and saying, "Look, the chivalrous man in the lily robe before is gone!"

When he looked away, he saw that the person in the corner was gone, and there was nothing on the table except two empty wine jars and a few silver taels.

Ming Chang also found out that the man in the cloth was gone, he had been watching every move in the entire inn since he went downstairs, and the person was still drinking when the old half-immortal came in, but there was no trace of it in just three or two sentences, this person ......

Yun Yao drank a cup of tea and said, "Hehe, this is interesting." First, the gathering of the beggars, and then the old half-immortal and the clothed people. I see that this Lingzhou city is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and the undercurrent is surging. I'm afraid this plague is not easy!"

"Yes, I don't think this epidemic in Lingzhou City is accidental, let's hold our troops first, and tonight I will go alone to meet the beggar gang Master Chen. It's been a day's journey, and the four of you will have a good rest in the inn tonight, try not to go out in the middle of the night, and take care of each other!"

Lian Ci also catered to him: "Senior brother, I will go with you to meet the beggars to help the helmsman!"

Ming Chang waved his hand and said in a low voice: "It's okay, I have a good relationship with Master Chen Helm, and this matter is as low-key as possible, you better have a good rest and make plans tomorrow!"

Several people looked at each other and nodded their heads. Seeing that it was not early and the sun was about to set outside, they all returned to their rooms.

When night fell, perhaps the people in the city knew that it had not been peaceful recently, and even the husband who had been on duty in the middle of the night was gone. Before he was too late, even the bustling and fertile city center was darkened, and the streets were empty, and no one had even lit the lanterns on the road, and the squeaks of the trees could be heard in the silence of the empty streets.

Ming Chang changed into black clothes, covered his face with black strips of cloth, and sealed the sword layer by layer with thick curtains. He stepped out of the eaves, looked at the wind blowing in the street, took a breath, and disappeared into the night......

Maybe it's too dark, but the water in the Spirit River looks a little bright, and the dark clouds in the sky are so thick that even the moonlight can't be sprinkled nearly half a minute. On the bank of the river in the city, there is a figure that looks very eye-catching, and the back is a middle-aged man, about thirty years old, who can be seen faintly under the reflection of the river. He has a thick beard, thick palms wrapped in bandages, a tall and burly figure, strong and rough muscles, thick hair framed by a brown hemp rope, his face is not clear but he is carrying a heavy heavy sword on his back, his clothes are also very exposed, there are several scars on his chest that can be seen clearly, he is wearing wooden shoes, and his hands seem to be waiting for something.

Sure enough, within a while, a flower butterfly flew out of nowhere. The flower butterfly stopped on the side of the figure, and a surprising scene occurred, a beam of colored light instantly illuminated the riverbank, and the flower butterfly turned into a young woman.

"How's it going, what's new?"

The black shadow saw that the people waiting for him had already arrived, and said in a deep voice: "The Tianshan Sect that has been moving for a long time has also moved. Hurry back to the valley and let the people strengthen their protection!"

After hearing this, the woman just said coldly: "That's just to make that demon girl and this Tianshan faction have a good fight." Your Excellency, come back to the valley with me!"

The black shadow sighed: "Alas, it's not time yet, you go back first to deliver the news!"

"Why, our mission has been accomplished, and we are still in this Lingzhou City......"

"Do you know what I saw today?"

The woman was puzzled and just shook her head.

"Snow Moon Divine Sword!"

"Ji Zhangjiao also went down the mountain? Then I think the demon girl will not be able to survive until tomorrow!"

"It should be that she is not in charge, but since even Xueyue Sword has recognized her master, she should be her protégé. I had to stay, secretly protect it. ”

The woman nodded and said, "Indeed, Ji Zhangjiao has kindness to us, and he still had a deep friendship with you back then, and as old friends, we should really do our part." ”

"It's ......," the shadow seemed to be a little speechless.

"Is there anything else that has changed?"

The middle-aged man paused, lowered his voice, and said, "Let Lord Wuxian always pay attention to the lower flow of the Lechuan River and the Wufu Stone Tablet. Today I met a ghost clan in the restaurant, and I guess his identity is also known to him!"

"The ghost clan? What does this have to do with him?"

"This matter is a little strange, you go back first. I'm looking for an opportunity to get a look...... Then the secret art will be transmitted!"

The two of them looked at each other by the riverside, and the woman turned into a flower butterfly and flew into the distance, and the black shadow disappeared into place......
