Chapter Twenty-Six
As soon as Li Yao and Li Tian stepped into the Yingxian Tower, they were stopped by the waitress who welcomed the guests: "Where did you come from to call Huazi to dare to break into our Yingxian Tower, get out!"
"When a guest comes to the door, instead of welcoming the guest, he wants to drive the guest away, what is the reason?" Li Yao straightened his waist and looked at the waitress. Li Tian pulled Li Yao's sleeve and whispered in her ear: "Sister, if you don't forget it, let's go find an ordinary inn." ”
"Hmph! I naturally greet a distinguished customer when he comes to the door, but the rules of the store don't say that I will welcome Huazi in, if I disturb the distinguished customers in the store, how can I afford it?" The waitress was about twenty years old, quite colorful, full of arrogance, and disdainful to look at Li Yao.
"If that's the case, I'd like to ask you, what is the standard for the guests who can enter this store, and how can you conclude that we can't afford to live in this store?" Li Yao made up his mind to live in this store despite his brother's tug.
The waitress raised her face to the back: "See, those sons in the store are the appearance of distinguished customers, and as for you, don't take a mirror to look at, phew!" After saying this, her face was raised to the sky.
Li Yao looked at a few richly dressed young men sitting in the store, and there were entourages standing next to them, all of whom were looking at what was happening on their side with a sneer on their faces at the moment. Look at himself and Li Tian again, wearing coarse cloth clothes, and coming all the way, they do look a little depressed.
"Hahaha, it turns out that you, the dog slave who guards the door, can only distinguish people by looking at their clothes, and you are indeed a brute who has not opened your mind! Could it be that the richly dressed one can live in this store without spending money?
"What a sharp-toothed boy, you dare to scold me!" the waitress's pretty face covered with rouge and gouache was distorted with anger, and she summoned two tall servants, "Let me drive these two poor boys out who don't know the height of the sky!"
The two slaves both had the third-order cultivation of the Yellow Realm, and they didn't hit Li Yao and the others, and they beat them with sticks, as if they wanted to drive away the stray dogs lying at the door. Li Yao sneered, and didn't wait for the two to get closer, he made a move, and the vitality was released and the two of them were directly slapped away. Before they could react, they fell to the ground, struggling but unable to get up.
"Master of the Xuan Realm!" The people in the shop are all cultivators with some eyesight, and the means of releasing this vitality is clearly something that can only be done by stepping into the Xuan Realm, and this young man in cloth has such cultivation! Everyone speculated that these two young men must be the children of a high-ranking sect who came out to practice, and they all cast friendly glances at Li Yao and the two.
"You...... How dare you hurt someone!" The maid couldn't see the depth of Li Yao's cultivation due to her limited eyesight, and she didn't have the heart to guess whether the Huazi in her eyes had a big background.
"The dog is coming to bite me, do I have to stand and wait for it to bite?" Li Yao clapped his hands and said disapprovingly.
When the shopkeeper of Yingxian Lou heard the movement outside, he was also shocked and ran out, and when he saw this scene, he quickly asked the maid what happened. The waitress said the matter in a panic, naturally she wanted to highlight her grievances and wanted the shopkeeper to support her. Who can be the shopkeeper is not a sophisticated and sleek old Jianghu, looking at the two slaves who still fell to the ground, and then looking at the disdainful posture of the beating boy who has nothing to do with himself, he figured out the original reason. Hurriedly greeted Li Yao's sister and brother: "A misunderstanding, I hope the young man will forgive me, please inside." ”
"But I heard that the janitor meant that those who were not well dressed were not allowed to enter. The two of us just didn't wear any serious clothes today, and I'm afraid we'll be blasted out again when we go in later. Li Yao is a lord who is unforgiving, and he used words to ridicule the maid, making the maid angry, but she didn't dare to attack in front of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was full of smiles: "The young man said he was smiling." We welcome guests from all over the world, how can there be a reason for guests to come to the door but not do business?"
"Oh, I see, it's no different from other stores! I thought that as long as you dress decently and don't spend money, you can live in your Yingxian Building." Li Yao had a look of sudden realization.
The shopkeeper was embarrassed, but the waitress couldn't stand Li Yao's repeated ridicule: "Our store is not as good as that ordinary inn, don't just talk about cool words, can you afford this room?"
The shopkeeper looked unhappy, glared at the maid, and said to Li Yao with a smile on his face: "Don't blame the young man, my niece can't speak since she was a child, you don't remember the villain, please don't take it to heart." ”
"No wonder, I said that these eyes have grown to the ceiling, it turned out to be the nephew of the shopkeeper! Disrespectful, disrespectful! But the little niece is right, you can't talk here without paying, how much is the room for this room, I will close it first, so as not to be driven out again as a flower child." Li Yao spoke with a handful of dozens, and took advantage of the waitress by chance.
"We have a third-class guest room in Yingxian Building, a first-class 50 yuan stone a day, a second class 20 yuan stone a day, and the lowest C class also needs 10 yuan stone a day. You can hear clearly, it's a yuan stone, not silver, and it's not a copper plate!" the maid was still full of arrogance when she spoke, as if she had opened this Yingxian Tower. But as soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper's heart was even more unhappy, and he began to regret that he had soft ears and brought this vulgar and rude niece into Yingxian Tower. Not to mention that he really offended these hidden cultivators, even if it reached the ears of the owner of Yingxian Tower, I am afraid that it will be difficult to keep the shopkeeper who has finally become it. It seems that after today, we must send this uneasy thing back to the countryside as soon as possible.
Li Yao plucked out his ears: "Isn't it Yuanshi, what is this, it makes my ears hurt." Master, I don't have anything, it's just Yuanshiduo!" casually took out a bag of Yuanshi from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Arrange a first-class room for us and stay for two nights." One hundred yuan stone, only a little more, and the more will be left to the shopkeeper for a decent order. ”
"Yes, yes, I'll arrange it right away, young man, please. The shopkeeper greeted Li Yao and Li Tian upstairs, personally arranged a guest room for them, and never looked at the waitress again from beginning to end. The waitress stood still, watching the customers in the shop pointing at her, and she was even more embarrassed.
This first-class guest room is on the highest floor of the Yingxian Building, all the way up, see that the furnishings in this building are extremely elegant, gold and jade ornaments, antique calligraphy and paintings, and there is a garden planted with strange flowers and plants. Li Tian was eye-opening, dazzling and dizzying. Li Yao is a young master of a family, looking at it casually, and pointing at will: "These coral agate on your aisle are too cheesy, so it's good to replace them with spirit stone carvings." "I was shocked to hear the shopkeeper, where are you from the young master, you actually used the spirit stone as an ornament, fortunately I didn't offend before, and nodded again and again. Seeing Li Yao pointing to the garden and frowning: "These flowers and plants are beautiful, but they are too boring, how can they plant some spiritual herbs and elixirs." As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat, and he could say that he was planting elixir in the garden, either because the young man had no knowledge and talked nonsense, or because he was used to seeing it at home since he was a child, what kind of identity and origin did this have! The shopkeeper did not dare to speculate, let alone inquire rashly, but just bowed his head and listened.
When he arrived in the guest room, the shopkeeper left and closed the door. Li Yao unloaded her style at this time, returned to the style of a wild girl, and spread joy in the room: "Wow, Tian'er, come and see, this teacup is made of jade! And this bed is too big, it's no problem to sleep ten people...... "The room is huge, the bedroom, the living room, the bathing pool, the changing room, the study...... Everything is available, the furnishings in the room are very elegant, and the objects used are all precious. Li Yao wandered around the room like a treasure hunter, and Li Tian calmed down: "Sister, will it be too wasteful for us to live in such a good room?" This 100 yuan stone is 1000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, if it is exchanged for copper coins, it will be 10,000 yuan, how many things do you have to buy!"
"Little God, as a brother, I have to teach you that this money is something outside the body, the most important thing is that it should be spent. What we have now is money, and it is the last word to have a good time before entering the Shouyuan faction. Li Yao sat at the head of the bed and began to preach.
"But didn't my sister teach me not to expose my wealth before, and to be cautious?" Li Tian looked puzzled, obviously even if he got a lot of treasures before, he had to pretend to be poor and sour, how could he completely change when he arrived at the foot of this Shouyuan Mountain.
"It's really stupid to say that you are stupid! In the past, when you were sick, we took you around, so naturally we had to keep a low profile and be cautious, do you want to write on your face that we are very rich, come and rob us? As for now, don't you just see that the gatekeeper dares to kick our noses in the face? This world is so vulgar, people are good and are bullied, and people are poor and hateful. If we are still poor and honest, I don't know how much humiliation we will suffer in the future, we can't go up and reason with him every time we meet one, and then have another fight. In short, we just have to make enough of the pie now, so that people can't see where we come from, so they don't dare to bully us easily!"
Li Tian nodded: "Sister is right, I will listen to you." ”
"How many times have you said it, you have to call me brother outside, we are dressed as men now, aren't you revealing your stuff if you shout like this?"
"Got it, sister. ”
Li Yao lay on the quilt made of silk and satin, and sighed: "Money is really a good thing, but it is also a completely bad thing!" The poor people count copper plates to beg for a living, and they are desperate to be able to eat a full meal; ordinary people live with silver and calculate in order to be able to live without worry about food and clothing for a lifetime; the rich people guard the gold mountain to have fun, and they exploit the luxury of being able to continue to be drunk with money, and there are also those who are dedicated to cultivating and regard money as dung for the pursuit of immortal Taoism on the surface, but don't they also struggle in the dung in this life?
Li Yao sat up: "Go take a shower, let's go to the street!"
The two of them bathed and changed their clothes one after another, washed off the dust, left the store, and walked straight towards the most prosperous street. Because Gumu Town is located at the foot of Shouyuan Mountain, there are a lot of cultivators coming and going, so this town has a lot less ordinary people than that ordinary state city, and there are also a lot less market gas, but there are many shops related to cultivation.
The sisters and brothers walked all the way, and their eyes were full of weapon shops, pill shops, and magic treasure pavilions...... I found a silk and satin shop, and I sold it all of the cultivators' clothes. The two entered the door, but no one paid attention, and when Yuanshi was put out, they immediately ushered in a smiling face. When he bought a few of the best outfits, the shopkeeper was already a servile and charming person, and he couldn't wait to call Grandpa Li Yao. When the two of them left the store, they had changed their outfits from head to toe: brocade clothes, jade with hooks, spiritual beads wiping their foreheads, lining their delicate faces, straight bodies, and a graceful and beautiful young man, a noble son of Yushu Linfeng.
The two were of equal stature and similar faces, and when they walked out into the street again, they had become the scenery on the road. Passers-by stopped to watch, and the girl Huaichun secretly sent waves. Li Tian was a little uncomfortable walking under the gaze, and said softly in Li Yao's ear: "Sister, there are too many people on the road, why don't we go back to the inn." ”
"Why did you go back when you just came out?" strode forward, nodding and smiling if there was someone who greeted him with a smile, and if there was a person who chatted and made friends, he would say a few perfunctory words, and his movements were like flowing water, and his words were not leaking. Li Tian wondered: How do you feel that my sister is enjoying this state very much.
Walking to a high-end restaurant, before entering the store, a figure flew out upside down. Li Yao's eyes were quick, and he pulled Li Tian sideways to dodge. I saw that the man fell to the ground, but he was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.
The young man got up, only to see him with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of arrogance, patting the dust on his body, caressing the bruises on his head, and shouting to the people in the store: "Don't bully the young man to be poor, don't you know that in thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, when I ascend to the immortal, it will be the time when I will set foot in your broken shop!"
