Chapter 142: The Wilderness Inn is Shared
Xinzhou is not far from Chang'an, and the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is at the northern foot of Lishan between Xinzhou and Chang'an.
As the sun sets, all the vegetation is reflected in a layer of red light.
The world was a little hazy, Fu Chuan opened the way with a long sword, and when he looked at it, he saw a white stone paved path suddenly appeared in the forest, twisting and turning, and he didn't know where it led.
Fu Yan frowned, stepped on the path, and walked all the way down. At the end of the eye, between the mountains and forests, next to the path, there was a huge building.
This house is already ancient, exuding a desolate atmosphere, Fu Yan took a closer look, only to see that this building has two floors, hook the eaves and green tiles, vermilion wood pillars, and it is full of withered vines and moss, which is extremely dilapidated.
When I looked up, a big flag was waving in the wind, and it read: "Hero Inn." ”
The name is not too loud, Fu Yan looked left and right, one side of the inn was an endless wasteland, and the other side was a dense forest.
This inn stands in the middle of this mountain forest and wasteland, mysterious, precious, and fascinating.
Fu Yan pushed open the door of the inn, and a great noise suddenly came, only to see that the inn hall, which seemed to have a bleak business, was actually full of people from the rivers and lakes.
Hot tea and liquor, cooked meat and good dishes, a person drank so happily that he didn't seem to notice Fu Yan coming in at all.
How could there be so many people in this wilderness inn with no village in front and no store in the back? Fu Yan frowned, looked at the seemingly unreal picture in front of him, and slowly walked to the front of the counter.
The fat shopkeeper didn't seem to be busy, sitting inside and napping, Fu Yan shouted several times in a row before waking him up.
The fat shopkeeper glanced at Fu Ran, as if he was blaming Fu Ran, who disturbed his sweet dreams, and said lukewarmly: "Eat or stay in the hotel?"
It's kind of interesting...... Fu Yan smiled lightly, took out a piece of silver, and said, "Stay in the hotel." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the silver and said lightly: "Not enough." ”
"That's not enough, that's five taels of silver!"
"You can't live?"
Fu Yan's face was a little unsightly, and he said, "How much?"
The fat shopkeeper said: "Ten taels, one night." ”
This is no different from robbing money, Fu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly took out three nails of silver, and said, "Yes, come to me when you finish spent." ”
The fat shopkeeper took the silver, propped himself up and walked out, led Fu Yan to a room on the second floor, and said, "Two days later, I'll come to get the money, remember, don't run around at night, it's easy to have accidents." ”
"Oh?" Fu Ranrao looked at the shopkeeper interestingly.
The shopkeeper didn't seem to want to explain, and said: "The words have come to this, do you like to listen or not, just don't trouble me if something happens." Also, you can't go to the backyard, there is an old fairy living there, and you can only visit it for fifty taels of silver. ”
"Heh! Immortals are also greedy for money. Fu Ren chuckled, looked at the room that was still clean, and suddenly said, "Don't serve the wine and food, I'll go to the hall to eat." ”
"Yes. When the shopkeeper's words came, the man was gone.
Fu Yan squinted his eyes and walked to the balcony, looking at the lively scene in the hall below, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, this inn is full of abnormalities, it is really curious!
"It's dark!"
"It's dark!"
Suddenly, the guests in the hall suddenly shouted, whether they were drinking or punching, all of them suddenly stood up, went back to their rooms, went out of the house, but more people went to the backyard.
It is said that in the backyard, there lives an old fairy!
Fu Yan frowned tightly, could it be that these people in the rivers and lakes are all coming for the old immortals?
Unable to bear the curiosity in his heart, Fu Yan went downstairs to the shopkeeper, took out fifty taels of silver, and said, "Take me to the backyard to see the old fairy." ”
The fat shopkeeper seemed to know that Fu Yan would come, his eyes did not change at all, he put away the silver, and said lazily: "Remember, when I see the old fairy, there are three questions that I can't ask." One: You can't ask him about his identity, two: You can't ask him where he comes from, and three: You can't ask him about his age. Got it?"
There are quite a lot of rules, Fu Yan smiled lightly and nodded.
Bypassing a courtyard with a dry well, and then going to another courtyard, I saw that it was densely packed with people from the rivers and lakes.
Some are just reckless men who don't cover their bodies, some are richly dressed sons, and there are even more imposing masters, who know at a glance that they are not small people.
Why did these people come here? Did they all want to see this old immortal?
Fu Yan frowned and said, "Why do these people all come to see the old immortals?"
The fat shopkeeper said, "Because they have confusion in their hearts." ”
"Can the old fairy solve the puzzle?"
"The old immortals know everything in heaven and on earth. ”
As soon as the fat shopkeeper's voice fell, the audience shouted excitedly: "The old fairy is here, the old fairy is here!"
Fu Yan raised his eyes and saw that a black curtain suddenly rose in front of him, and a tall and thin figure was already sitting inside, with Erlang's legs crossed, as if he was eating something.
After all, it was night, after all, the candlelight was dim, after all, through the curtain, Fu was full of internal strength, and he couldn't see the appearance of the person inside.
The fat shopkeeper walked to the curtain and said loudly: "The old rule, the old fairy will bid according to your question, if it is too expensive, leave by yourself." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone seemed to become more and more excited, one panting, and his eyes were fixed on the curtain.
A tall figure stood up, bowed deeply to the curtain, and said in a deep voice: "Old immortal, I want to annex the forces in the south of the city, but Wu Hu, the leader of the south of the city, has strong martial arts, and there are a group of masters under it. ”
As soon as the words fell, the four sides were quiet to the extreme, and only an old voice slowly came out: "Two hundred taels." ”
The man did not hesitate at all, directly took out the silver and handed it to the fat shopkeeper, and then waited respectfully.
The ethereal voice of the old immortal came out: "You are Zhang Zixiong, the underground leader of Chang'an Xicheng, who has been suppressed by Wu Hu in the south of the city recently, and has been defeated and retreated, and can no longer support it, right?"
Zhang Zixiong said excitedly: "Yes, I am Zhang Zixiong, the old fairy is really powerful, please solve your doubts!"
The old fairy said: "Behead its leader, mess with people's hearts, and the south of the city can be broken." Wu Hu is strong in martial arts, but he is lustful by nature, and he is extremely emotional, understand?"
Zhang Zixiong was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "It's true that Wu Hu is lustful, but it's not necessarily important to be emotional, right?"
The old fairy said quietly: "He only cares about one person, his illegitimate son Wu Guangyao." ”
Zhang Zixiong's face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed: "Wu Hu has a son?"
"That's it, next. ”
Zhang Zixiong's face welled up with surprise, and he hurriedly bowed again, and said excitedly: "Thank you old fairy for solving your doubts!
After he finished speaking, he left immediately, and the others flocked to him, constantly taking out the silver taels, asking questions, all of which were answered by the old immortal, and then left excitedly.
Fu Yan frowned tightly, and was extremely puzzled in his heart, this so-called old immortal seemed to really know everything, and he could answer every question very accurately and propose solutions.
It's just that...... This voice seems to be somewhat familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere.
The people were gone, only Fu was left, he stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Old immortal, I want to go to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin and steal the jade seal of the First Emperor, what should I do?"
"One hundred thousand taels. ”
"What?" Fu Yan's eyes widened suddenly, the highest in front was only five hundred taels, and when it came to himself, it turned out to be one hundred thousand taels!
The old immortal's voice came out: "The First Emperor Jade Seal, it's worth the price." ”
Fu Yan sneered, he only had more than a hundred taels of silver on him in total, and he asked this question just to see how this person reacted.
The fat shopkeeper said in a deep voice: "Give the money, or leave, decide immediately." ”
Fu Yan said coldly: "I don't have any money, and I don't want to leave." ”
The old fairy said: "I see that you are destined for me, so I will answer you this question." ”
"Thank you. Fu Yan became more and more puzzled in his heart, who was this person, and why was his tone so familiar.
The old fairy said quietly: "You are going to be dangerous and unpredictable, you have the pain of great compassion, and you need someone to help." ”
Fu Yan suddenly felt that what this person said made sense, and said in a deep voice: "The suffering of great compassion? You mean, I will encounter great compassion on this trip? What do you mean?"
The old fairy said: "Flowers are easy to thank, fruits are easy to fall, everything is determined and cannot be changed." ”
Fu Yan didn't understand these words, so he paused for a few moments, and then continued: "Then who do you need help?"
This man said: "A Taoist priest who is profound, handsome and chic, with a jade tree in the wind and superior wisdom!"
Fu Yan's right hand slowly pinched the hilt of the Wind Breaking Sword, his eyes were full of hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What is that Taoist Dao number?"
The old immortal said: "There is no Dao number, but all the words used on him just now are just right." ”
"Fuck you!" Fu Yan roared, and the wind-breaking sword rushed out, slashing at the black curtain.
The powerful sword tore through the night sky, directly smashing the black curtain to pieces, revealing a hasty figure with a chicken leg in his hand that was about to be eaten.
Fu Yan said angrily: "You old bastard! You actually deceived Lao Tzu!
Fu Yan walked over directly with his sword, and his murderous aura was so fierce that the old fairy hurriedly ran around the courtyard.
This guy was dressed in a navy blue robe, with gray hair, quite fairy bones, but a wine jug pinned to his waist, and a chicken leg in his hand, which completely ruined his image.
With a cheap smile and an obscene expression, who is it if it is not a Taoist master?
The old Taoist priest shouted: "Little friend, don't be angry! Daoist, I'm just making a little joke with you......"
Fu Yan gasped and said angrily: "Old Wang Ba, I didn't let Linghuqiu's seniors come to support before, I haven't settled this account with you yet, and now you are deceiving people again, saying, how much money have you made!"
The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "I didn't make much money! Half of the people were nurseries, and the rest were small money, and they were busy all night, and their mouths were dry, and they only earned a few hundred taels of silver." ”
A few hundred taels! Fu Yan was speechless for a while, this is still less? A few hundred taels of silver can buy a good house!
Thinking that he had told Ling Huqiu before that it would be better to play chess with him to save himself, Fu Yan was angry in his heart, and chased after him several times with his long sword.
The old Taoist priest looked like he was about to die, collapsed on the ground, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Little friend! It's all a misunderstanding! It must be Hou Xubai's kid slandering Daoist Master me! Look, I'm not here to accompany you!"
Fu Yan sneered: "You don't know how to do martial arts, it's better not to come, I still have to take care of you." ”
Dao Ye's old face turned red and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Dao Ye, I ...... martial arts when I was young."
"Okay! don't talk to me about these useless things!" Fu Yan waved his hand and said, "Take the money." ”
Dao Ye immediately said: "What money?
Fu Yan directly pulled out the Wind Breaking Sword, gritted his teeth and said: "Return the fifty taels that Lao Tzu just gave, otherwise Lao Tzu will directly kill you with a sword!"
"Don't, if you have something to say!" Dao Ye smiled and said, "This is for you, this is for you!"
