Luoju City, the capital of Luozhou, one of the nine states of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, it was noon, and the Jianghu guests on the street hurriedly rushed towards the yamen, and it turned out that it was the day when the new issue of the list was released.

A young man walking leisurely on the street couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle when he saw this scene.

The young man was dressed in a navy blue robe, carrying a black and white sword behind him, with a gentle smile always appearing on his face like a crown of jade, and his black and white eyes carried an indisputable peace.

What a beautiful boy who is as gentle as jade!

The young man looked up at the sky, felt a slight emptiness in his belly, and walked forward,

"Master said that if you haven't tasted the food of Heluolou, you won't have been to Luozhou, and you happen to be passing by here, so you might as well go and have a look. ”

Heluolou is the largest restaurant in Luozhou City, and a 'peony swallow dish' does not know how many gourmets linger.

Entering the building, Xiao Er greeted him: "This Taoist chief wants to eat?"

The young man nodded with a smile.

Xiao Er's face was embarrassed: "It's unfortunate that the Taoist chief came, there is no vacancy at this time." ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in the young man's eyes, and he said sincerely: "Don't hide it from the second brother, the poor road was born in Dingzhou, and he came to Luozhou to do business on the orders of his teacher, and he happened to pass by Luozhou City. When he was in the mountains, the tutor often told the poor that if he hadn't tasted the food of Heluolou, he wouldn't have been to Luozhou. I implore the little second brother to make it convenient. ”

"This ......" The little second brother pondered for a moment, the young Taoist priest in front of him had a warm temperament like jade, and his words were polite, without the slightest intention of looking down on himself, and it was by no means the same as the usual customers, and he had an idea in his heart, "Since the Taoist chief insists, then let me come, if there are guests who are willing to share the table, please don't dislike the Taoist chief." ”

"I'm in trouble with the little second brother. The young Taoist priest thanked him and followed Xiao Er up to the second floor.

The second floor is still full, which shows how good the business of this Heluo Building should be.

Xiao Er led him to a table by the window.

The table was against the window, and at a glance it could take in most of L.A.

There was only a bowl of somen soup on the table, and there was a person sitting at the table. The man looked to be in his early twenties, dressed in a moon-white robe, with a wooden sword hanging from his waist, and a chuckle on his handsome face, if only that, he would be no different from other young knights, but his big bright eyes betrayed him deeply.

As a young Taoist who was a kendo powerhouse, he saw the infinite sword intent hidden deep in the other party's eyes.

It was a look of extreme confidence forged through countless victories.

He's a kendo master!

The young Taoist priest became interested in the youth, and in addition to cultivating the Tao wholeheartedly, only the sword technique could arouse a ripple in his Gujing Wubo's heart.

He didn't want to compete with the other party, but wanted to discuss kendo with the other party, because he could feel that in terms of swordsmanship, the other party was fully qualified to compete with him, and even ...... Stronger than him!

"Guest officer, you are one, and this Taoist is also one, why don't you two share a table?" Xiao Er's face was accompanied by a smile.

The young man put down the clear soup noodles in his hand and smiled confidently: "Then can I get this bowl of noodles free?"

Xiao Er's smile stiffened: "This ...... The small ones should be instructed by the shopkeeper. ”

The young man sighed: "Then give me a twenty-percent discount, it's not too much." ”

"You also know that you are excessive! I might as well give you a free order at a 20% discount!" Xiao Er roared in his heart.

The young man slapped the table and got up angrily, attracting the attention of the surrounding diners: "I don't want to order, and I don't want to discount." You still want me to share a table with someone else? I think you can't get along with me!"

The young Taoist priest hurriedly stopped between the two: "Brother Tai don't be angry, it's not easy for Xiao Er, I will invite me to this meal." ”

Xiao Er said indignantly: "Dao Chief, you give me a comment, this person has no money to eat, and he has been wandering at the door of our Heluo Building." The shopkeeper saw that he was pitiful, and invited him in, and ordered the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles for him. In order not to hurt his self-esteem, I symbolically charged him a penny, and I also treated him like any other guest, but he was so arrogant! I knew that I would not let him in the door, and I really deserved to eat!"

Seeing that the young man was about to have a seizure, the Taoist priest hurriedly gave the little second envoy a look: "Cough, little second brother, please go and inform the back kitchen to serve all the signature dishes of Heluo Building, this meal is poor." ”

After walking away from the shopkeeper who was still muttering, he turned his head again and said sincerely: "Brother Tai, don't be angry, everyone has difficulties when they walk the rivers and lakes." If Brother Tai doesn't dislike it, this meal will be invited by Poor Dao, which can be regarded as making amends for Brother Tai for the second brother. ”

The young man said helplessly: "I don't look down on the shopkeeper, as the so-called people do not distinguish between high and low, and do not distinguish between high and low." God let you be born in a poor family, there is no way. But who doesn't have two nostrils to breathe? The shopkeeper is no different from the son of a wealthy family born with a golden key. ”

The Taoist priest's eyes lit up, and he said softly: "Yes, Brother Tai's views coincide with the poor Dao. My tutor also taught me: Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. As far as the Heavenly Dao is concerned, what is the difference between you and me and the grass and trees? Therefore, under the Heavenly Dao, all beings are equal. ”

The young man couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Brother Dao's words are fresh and refined, but they are different from the bull's nose in my impression.

The Taoist priest replied: "Don't hide it from Brother Wu, when Poor Dao didn't remember, he was abandoned by his parents, and only a jade pendant engraved with the word 'leaf' was left. So after being picked up by the master, he named me Ye Qingxuan, and it happened that the poor Dao in the master was the 'Qing' generation, so the Dao name was also used by this name. ”

Wu Qiao's eyes lit up, and he arched his hand: "Oh, Brother Dao is the third on the list...... Now it should be the fourth 'Tai Chi Dao Sword' Ye Qingxuan? ”

Ye Qingxuan smiled freely: "The reputation is all floating clouds, the poor road is dedicated to the Tao, and the practice of martial arts is just to strengthen the body." But Brother Wu is also a well-known young talent, how can he ......"

Wu Qian sighed and laughed at himself: "Don't hide it from Brother Dao, I was originally carrying a huge amount of money, but I met people who were suffering along the way." A woman on the Luohe River was abandoned by her lover, she was originally a flower in the Qinglou, fell in love with a poor and sour talent, and eloped with him. The talented and beautiful woman is also a good story, how can she meet someone who is not ladylike, the poor and sour Xiucai cheated her out of all her money and abandoned her and left alone. She wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river with hatred, but was rescued by Zaixia. As the so-called good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west. He bought a house on the bank of Luoshui, then bought a shop and gave it to her, and then left her five hundred taels of silver to ensure that she would live without worry for the rest of her life.

Later, a young girl sold herself to bury her father. I wanted to give her some silver to let her go, but I thought that she was alone at a young age, how could she survive on the rivers and lakes?

After coming to Los Angeles, he met a thief and stole the purse, and followed her quietly in the spirit of having fun, wanting to see why she was stealing at a young age. It turned out that she stole money to buy food to feed a group of children under the age of ten. When I saw me, the child knelt down and kowtowed to me, begging me to let the children go, and she was willing to go with me to the officials. After careful questioning, I learned that these children were abducted and sold by human traffickers as stealers, and this little girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, but she was very assertive, and she secretly ran out with them while the traffickers were away, and had to support them by stealing money because she had no money to eat.

I couldn't bear it, so I arranged for them to be helpers in the textile shop of the former Oiran, taking care of the food and the monthly salary. The little girl wanted to repay me, but she couldn't, so she also sent her to my friend to learn martial arts, which was another expense.

All the money was spent, and the five thousand taels of silver tickets that he carried under him were all spent. ”
