Xu Wuxi looked down, but saw an old dwarf man coming under the table at some point. The old man looked at least old, his beard was white, his face was full of wrinkles, and his pea-sized eyes were bright. He was less than four feet tall, with short hands and short feet, and his beard was thick and long, almost hanging from under his jaw to the ground.

Xu Wuxian has never seen a person with such a short height, not to mention that the person under the table today is short and old, with a dove-shaped face, extremely ugly, and a pair of snow-white long hair, but it is like a waterfall, hanging straight to the ground, if mortals in the world want to grow this beautiful hair, without decades of work, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve.

At first sight of this person, he couldn't help but be frightened, and was about to ask, but saw the long-haired old man shaking Xu Wuxi's trouser leg and said in a sad voice: "This little brother is good, give me something to eat, poor my old man hasn't eaten for three days......"

Mo Qiuyu saw that the long-haired old man was ragged and ugly, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart, and was about to be reprimanded, when a shopkeeper over there had already arrived quickly, and he stretched out his hand to beat someone: "You bad old man, stinky beggar! This is not the place for you to stay, hurry up and get out of here!"

Xu Wuxi blocked the shopkeeper's hand, slowly picked up the long-haired old man from under the table, helped him to sit down beside him, turned around and said coldly to the shopkeeper:

"This old man is my guest now, I invite him to have dinner with me, there is nothing for you here!"

The shopkeeper looked at Mo Qiuyu, the owner of the double flower cave, Mo Qiuyu had to nod, and Xiao Er reluctantly retreated. Look at the long-haired old man again, just sat down, he couldn't wait to pick up a piece of beef and stuff it into his mouth and chew it, the eating appearance was even more vulgar than Zhu Wucang, even Zhu Wuyi didn't feel that he stopped the work in his mouth, and the three people on the seat were there watching the old man swallow wildly.

The long-haired old man kept in his mouth, just finished eating a few pieces of beef, and took the disease-free wine glass in his hand, poured it full and drank it all, so after drinking three glasses in a row, he sighed and said:

"Wine is not good wine, and meat is not good meat, but when you are hungry, you can drink it like sweet liquor, and eat it like a delicacy!"

Mo Qiuyu smelled the strange smell of the long-haired old man, and he had already lost his appetite, so he simply stopped throwing his cup, shook the folding fan lightly, "hummed" a few times, and raised his head in disregard.

Xu Wuxi pushed several wine plates on the table, containing peanuts, phoenix feet, pickled melons, crispy lotus roots and other foods, to the old man, and said warmly: "Old man, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."

The long-haired old man did not shirk, he ate like a whirlwind of clouds, and the few dishes on the table had bottomed out in a short time, and I am afraid that even Zhu Wuneng beside him sighed at this speed.

Mo Qiuyu on the side really couldn't bear it, originally according to his temperament, he had already brushed his sleeves away at this moment. But when he looked at the white fox in Xu Wuxi's arms, he still couldn't help himself, and smiled at Xu Wuxi:

"Xu Gongzi, I heard that you are going to release that white fox. My Congyun Island is located in the south coast of the Yangtze River, is a sea fairy island, a blessed land in the sky, where the four seasons are like spring, the climate is pleasant, flowers and plants are everywhere, bamboo and trees are forested, the most suitable for the survival and reproduction of the fox, sheep, rabbit and deer, why don't you hand over the white fox to me, let me take it to Congyun Island to release?"

Xu Wuxian groaned for a while, noncommittal, Mo Qiuyu said again:

"Xu Gongzi, next month is my mother's 70th birthday, and my mother has eaten fasting and recited Buddha and released countless lives throughout her life. I took the white fox and let my mother release it on the spot on her birthday, and my mother would be happy in her heart. There are twenty taels of silver here, please Xu Gongzi take it, please Xu Gongzi must fulfill my filial piety!"

Xu Wuxian saw that the white fox was captured by the hunter at that time, and he was about to be on top of the sword, which caused the injury of his own life, so he did not hesitate to take out his ancestral jade flute, but also to exchange for the life of the white fox. At this moment, I heard that Mo Qiuyu was also going to be released, and the place where the release was in the fairy island and the blessed land of the cave on the sea, which should be more suitable for the survival of foxes. When he saw Mr. Mo's sincerity, it was inconvenient to refuse, so he agreed:

"Since Mr. Mo is also going to be released, it is naturally better, I will never dare to accept this silver. ”

Mo Qiuyu was overjoyed, and was about to reach out to take the white fox, but was stopped by Zhu Wuneng, who said, "No! Big brother, the fox can't give it to him!"

Mo Qiuyu was angry in his heart, and he had the intention to take it by force, but he was afraid of Zhu Wu's divine power, and said in his heart: "You refuse to give it to me, it's just that you think I give less silver, what to use to release, it's just to be sold at a price!" So he squeezed out a few smiles again, took out a silver ticket from his chest and put it in front of the table, and said: "Ahem! Brother Zhu is so reluctant and understandable, so let's do it, I'll pay two hundred taels of silver to buy you as a fox, how about it?"

Mo Qiuyu here was proud, thinking that the country boys had never seen any big scenes, and this silver ticket of two hundred taels would inevitably lure them into obedience. The long-haired old man over there suddenly threw the chopsticks in his hand and laughed:

"What a greedy and lustful 'iron-faced beauty'! You know that this white fox is a rare famous species of 'Snow Beauty' in the land of Shenzhou, this fox is one in ten thousand, and it takes a hundred years to grow this mature fur, this fur is snow-white all over the body, without any variegation, and what is even more strange is that the fox fur made of this fur is light as nothing on the body, but it is not known in the severe winter cold. If this white fox is sold to the capital, it can be sold for at least 20,000 taels of silver, and if it is given to the royal family and nobles, I am afraid it can be exchanged for greater benefits. Now you are coaxing two ignorant teenagers in the name of filial piety, ridiculous, ridiculous!"

When Mo Qiuyu heard this, his face turned blue instantly, he got up angrily, and said angrily: "Nonsense! This is obviously an ordinary fur beast! I kindly took out two hundred taels of silver to buy and release it, but I was slandered by you for such a reason, if you talk nonsense and slander me again, don't blame Mo for being unkind to you!"

The long-haired old man smiled and said, "Hehe, if you are sincere in releasing the fox, we will accept the two hundred taels of silver, and I will accompany you to the cloud island to release this fox, how about it?"

At this time, there were already several drinkers pointing and discussing beside him, Mo Qiuyu's face was blue and red for a while, and he said in his heart that the cloud island was hundreds of miles away, if I really released the white fox, tell me where to find it! At that moment, he had to stomp his feet and said hatefully: "It's unreasonable to mess around! Mo still has important matters, so I won't accompany you!"

The long-haired old man didn't care, and continued to pick up chopsticks to eat and drink, but there were really not many dishes left on the table.

Xu Wuxian bowed and said, "Old man, how do you know that this white fox is the 'snow pretty'?"

The long-haired old man rolled his eyes strangely and said: "I am a 'book fairy', I have read poetry and books since I was a child, and I know everything in the sky and on the earth. ”

Xu Wuxi: "'Book Immortal'? Is it a book immortal of the immortals in the book?"

The long-haired old man stroked his beard and said: "Yes, too! There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book.

Xu Wuxian got up and said: "Junior Xu Wuxi, this is my brother Zhu Wuneng, I have seen the Book Immortal!"

Shuxian smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say! It's just that this wine and meat seems to be a little less, the shop, the shop, the shop......"

The previous shopkeeper hurriedly came: "What do you want from the guest officer?"

Shuxian: "The wine and food you served before are too shabby, I heard that the famous 'Wucheng wine' here is fragrant and refreshing, Xun is a good wine, give us three jars, and another twenty catties of beef, and what other good dishes, just come up!"

When the shopkeeper saw that Mo Qiuyu was missing from the banquet, his face was not as good as before: "A few guest officers still settled the wine money here first, not much, a total of three taels and two dollars of silver." ”

Shuxian turned his head to look at Xu Wuxian. Wuzhi was embarrassed in his heart, and he was embarrassed to say that he had no money, so he had to reach out and grope in his waist bag, but where did he still have half a cent of silver on his body, and he touched it, but he didn't touch a penny of copper coins, but fell out of his waist with an iron plate.

Shuxian bent down to pick up the iron card, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the words "Tsing Yi Wei" on it. Xindao has this brand and still has no money to eat and drink? At that moment, his face sank, and he put the black iron card on the table with a 'snap', grabbed the arm of the shopkeeper, and said angrily: "Boldly Diao Min! Tell you the truth: We are the court messenger, this is Tsing Yi Wei Xu Baihu, I heard that your 'Juying Building' harbors key criminals, plotting against you, hurry up and call your shopkeeper over, follow me to the county government yamen to explain clearly!"

The shopkeeper was bluffed by the book fairy, and when he saw the three big characters "Tsing Yi Wei" engraved on the black iron card, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran to report to the shopkeeper. Everyone in the Qianguo who does not know the name of "Tsing Yi Wei" and who does not know it? Everyone knows that the power of the "Tsing Yi Wei" is extremely great, not to mention that the grass people are those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and the people of the "Tsing Yi Wei" can be arrested and tried whenever they want, and they do not need to write a document at all. Once he was arrested and put in the edict of the Anping Division of Tsing Yi Weibei, nine times out of ten he would not return. It is said that if there is a child crying in the village and alley, the adults only need to say: "The people of Tsing Yi Wei are here", and the child will immediately stop crying.

After a while, the shopkeeper and the little two arrived in a hurry, and the shopkeeper took out a bag of silver taels in a trembling voice, and said in a trembling voice: "Adults, they all blame the little ones for having eyes and no ......beads! The shop has always been law-abiding, and there is no court to commit it, so the adults may ...... Maybe it's a mistake......"

Shuxian nodded, took the silver two and checked it in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay! Forgive you for not having the guts in Juyinglou! Today's matter is recorded in the right, if there is any illegal activity found by us next time, I will definitely not spare it!"

The shopkeeper said: "Yes, yes, yes, I will ask Xiao Er to present the 20-year-old 'Wucheng Wine' treasured by our store, as well as various famous dishes of our store, please enjoy ......"

Shuxian interrupted: "No need, I am waiting for official business, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." After we are gone, you must not tell anyone about it!"

The shopkeeper: "Yes, yes, yes! The whereabouts of the adults, the people who despise the store, must keep their mouths shut!"

That Zhu Wuneng obviously didn't eat enough, and was about to speak, but was stopped by the book fairy. The book fairy whispered softly to Xu Wuxian: "This place is not suitable for a long time, hurry up!"

Xu Wuxian picked up the white fox with his left hand, pulled Zhu Wuyi with his right hand, followed the dwarf old man who called himself "Book Fairy", and hurriedly wanted to go out, when he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting:

"Who should I be? It turned out to be a 'half-solved book fairy', why haven't I seen him for a few years, and my brother has become an official of the imperial court?"
