Chapter 458: Xuan Ci's Past
Meng Qi was very depressed, ten taels of silver was not enough, robbed, right?
However, he is not a blind person either.
A young and beautiful woman opened a store with a name like "Hanhai's first" in a chaotic place like Quicksand, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
And the place where Lin Xi stayed, he believed that it would definitely not be bad, it was definitely a good place, but this boss was too greedy for money.
"Come to the three upper rooms!" took out another ingot of silver, and Meng Qi took it down boldly.
"There are only two!" Qu Jiuniang flicked her sleeves quickly, and the two ingots of silver disappeared in an instant.
"Two rooms, you received twenty taels!" Meng Qi never felt that he was a fat sheep, and reminded him seriously.
"According to the head, five taels per person! There are still five taels left, don't you eat dinner?" Qu Jiuniang's reason was very rude.
The corners of Meng Qi's mouth twitched, she really wanted to teach her how to be a person, but unfortunately the master and junior brother were present, and Lin Xi was also looking at him with a smile.
This loss, he can only pinch his nose and admit it, but he still has to ask for the master's consent.
After obtaining Xuan Ci's consent, Meng Qi nodded and said, "Fifteen taels of silver, two rooms." ”
Qu Jiuniang didn't raise her eyelids and said: "The second floor is on the west side, and the two rooms are not locked, go by yourself." ”
In the lobby of the inn, there are more than 20 tables, all of which are full of people, some are drinking with fists, some are talking, and some are whispering, so it is not lively.
Some of these guests are tight-fitting and short-lived, some have dusty faces, some are dressed in Confucian robes, although they are in the noisy and noisy, they also have a bit of the temperament of a scholar, and some are covered with their heads and covered with robes, of course, there are many horse bandits and robbers inside.
When Xuan Ci walked through the lobby with two apprentices, many guests glanced at them covertly, and after seeing nothing special, they withdrew their gaze and continued their efforts to make noise:
"Five, five, five!"
"Haha, three sixes, drink three bowls!"
"Damn, why did you lose again!"
In such a noisy environment, a man who looked quite young took a sip of wine, frowned and slapped the bowl down, got up and shouted: "Shopkeeper, your wine is not strong enough, is it mixed with water?"
Suddenly, all the voices in the lobby stopped abruptly, and those who punched wine, threw dice, talked, drank alcohol, and ate vegetables all kept their original movements for a short time as if time had frozen.
It may be the shopkeeper, or it may be Qu Jiuniang raised her head, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and her apricot eyes were round: "I love to drink, don't drink and get out!"
Meng Qi looked at this scene dumbfounded, and almost laughed out loud, it was the first time I had seen a boss with this kind of personality.
The young man who complained about the liquor mixing was completely unexpected, and stood there stupidly.
"Haha. ”
The stiff crowd burst into laughter, as if they had expected the young man to be treated like this.
"Haha, I'm laughing to death, someone dares to yell at Jiu Niang? Don't talk to me, I'm about to laugh out of tears, where is the blue-headed boy?"
"Yes, if you are a quick sword, Jiu Niang may still favor you. ”
"Hahaha, how many times has this been?"
"I can't remember, but it's fun every time. ”
It is estimated that the young man is walking the rivers and lakes for the first time, and in the face of this situation, in addition to a face that is flushed, he is not angry, nor is he enduring, it is very embarrassing.
When walking up the stairs, Xuan Ci, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke: "Qu Jiuniang, her background is unknown, she came here ten years ago to open the first inn in Hanhai, she was alone and outstanding in appearance at the beginning, but she has been safe, I suspect that she is a master of the exterior environment." ”
"How old is she?" Meng Qi was startled, he couldn't see Qu Jiuniang's age, and he couldn't be a few years older than himself.
Xuan Ci shook his head and said, "It's about thirty-five or sixteen, I haven't seen it with the eye of heaven as a teacher, so I don't know very well." ”
Meng Qi has a black line, but he is still secretly frightened of the other party's talent in his heart, and he is so terrifying.
Walking up to the second floor, Lin Xi was still standing there, looking at him with a smile, and the cute little monk: Zhenhui.
When the three of them walked in, Lin Xi greeted the three of them with a smile: "Lin Xi has seen three masters. ”
Meng Qi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Lin Xi's actions were because he didn't want Xuan Ci to find out that he knew the other party.
After all, he has been in Shaolin, and if he has a very good relationship with the martial arts people in Hanhai, then the problems will be great.
"Amitabha!" Meng Qi and the three of them gave a salute, which was regarded as a salute.
"Here in the Western Regions, Shaolin monks are rare!" Lin Xi shook the wine glass, and the crystal clear wine rippled in it: "I don't know if the three of them are here to cry the old man to reappear in the rivers and lakes?"
After speaking, Lin Xi didn't speak anymore, just drank with a smile.
Meng Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, and began to speculate in his heart about the meaning of Lin Xi's words, he knew that the other party was not a person who talked nonsense.
While thinking about it, he suddenly found that his master Xuan Ci, after hearing the name "Crying Old Man", turned gloomy and faintly cold.
"Retire under the next. After Lin Xi saw Xuan Ci's face, he arched his hand slightly apologetically, turned around and returned to the room.
"Master, you ....." walked to the room, and after the three of them sat down, Meng Qi looked at his master with deep doubts.
"Amitabha!"
Announcing the Buddha's name, Xuan Ci let out a long breath, and his face gradually returned to normal: "After decades of cultivation, after hearing this name, I still can't meditate!"
As he spoke, there was a faint look of grief in his eyes, and Xuan Ci sighed and said, "Crying old man, he is the enemy of the teacher!"
Xuan Ci looked at the teacup in his hand, and said with a faint emotion: "Crying old man, his real name is unknown, the grandmaster at the peak of the exterior scene, active in the Great Jin Dynasty Longxi, the Death Hanhai and the Burial God Desert, ranking thirty-third on the land list, and the exercises he is good at are the Wild Sand Divine Skill and the Eighteen Beats of the Soul, which can be called the fierce and stubborn Gaidai." ”
Meng Qi was startled, his back felt cold, and he was even more guessing Lin Xi's purpose in his heart.
"Master, do you have a grudge against the crying old man?" At this time, Zhenhui hit the nail on the head, and did not have the consciousness to cover up for the master.
Meng Qi was also curious, but fortunately, he had a true wisdom to ask, if it was him, it would be really difficult to speak.
Xuan Ci suddenly became melancholy: "Tang Zhan, commonly known as a teacher, is considered a top master on the Ganlong Road, and he is only one step away from stepping into the ranks of grandmasters." At that time, I was jealous of my teacher and hated ......."
Xuan Ci did not hide it, and told his past one by one, although his tone was flat, but Meng Qi heard unforgettable hatred from it.
Meng Qi was silent, his thoughts gradually drifted out, and he was very suspicious of Lin Xi's purpose, why he specially mentioned the name of the crying old man in front of his master's eyes.
Is it to help Master, or is it for something else?
The only thing you don't have to worry about is the lives of your three people.
He knows Lin Xi's personality very well, which is also his confidence, but this feeling of being kept in the dark makes him very uncomfortable.
"Looks like I'm going to ask him..."
