294, drunkard
Luoyang, a restaurant.
Although the three-statue rivalry has not affected this place, the shopkeeper of the restaurant has been fighting for the past few days. Half a month ago, a guest who didn't know the details suddenly appeared, raised his hand and smashed five hundred taels of gold on the counter, occupying the lobby on the first floor of the banquet and not leaving, and claimed to charter all the drinks in the restaurant. The shopkeeper was happy to receive such a wealthy man at first, and for a few days, he had been fulfilling his promise when he first stepped here, but apart from the various good and bad drinks in the building, he did not take other exquisite dishes seriously. If this is the case, the only thing that makes the shopkeeper feel dissatisfied is that the customers who had eaten and drunk here earlier and the guest officials who were going to enter the building to have a banquet later were all driven away by this drunkard without exception, and if they complained a little, they were directly slapped out of the building by him.
And when the news of this domineering guest spread throughout Luoyang, the shopkeeper's head disease and the dilemma of the restaurant finally began.
At first, when some resentful people came to trouble, the former simply dismissed them. However, perhaps the other party provoked too many times, and the drunkard finally got bored, and finally stopped leaving his hand when he encountered a group of street scoundrels coming in to make trouble, and after a few breaths, before the onlookers could see when it happened, nearly ten big men had already fallen outside the restaurant with broken muscles and bones, and one of them even had an arm torn off in front of everyone!
Such a conflict will naturally alarm the government and cause people to be taken by surprise.
The drunkard showed only one thing to the chief, and the wolf-like hunters had already evacuated the scene of the crime, without even looking at the street scoundrels who fell to the ground and groaned. The leader even explained to the shopkeeper: "Good wine and good food serve this nobleman, we can't afford to provoke him." ”
Since that day, no one in the restaurant in the past dared to approach, and everyone in the restaurant, seeing that the guest had such a behavior, did not dare to drive him away without authorization, nor did they dare to close the door, after all, although the guest was domineering, he would not be in arrears in terms of drinks, but seemed very generous. Not only when the "deposit" is exhausted, the follow-up expenses are made up in time, but the reward for the restaurant guys is often a silver ingot, which is enough to cover their salary for half a year. For the restaurant, this guest can be described as a combination of grace and power, they have no reason to invite the guest away, let alone the ability to drive the guest away.
What's more, the idea of inviting him out of the restaurant did not appear in the shopkeeper's heart from the beginning to the end. And when a junior asked how to deal with the guest, the shopkeeper slapped him on the head as if angry: "Good food and wine are waiting! Don't you see the blood jade pendant of the sea of blood hanging around his waist? Don't you know that it is a distinguished guest of the sea of blood?"
The "guest" who alarmed Luoyang was Tang Ling.
The company of wine for half a month made him wash away his transcendent aura. Except for the time when he swallowed the wine in his stomach, Tang Ling basically slept at his desk, whether it was the light breeze in the past, or the ruthlessness of teaching those troublemakers at the beginning, it has completely disappeared at this moment, and he has become an out-and-out drunkard.
On this day, when the sun was setting, the restaurant finally welcomed its second guest after a long absence.
The person who came was a woman, with white hair like a waterfall without any restraints, hanging straight to her waist, and her cold and pretty face that seemed to be undisguised made everyone in the restaurant except Tang Ling stunned. Perhaps out of kindness, the shopkeeper greeted the woman when she officially stepped into the restaurant: "This girl, the shop is not ready to welcome customers now. ”
"I know. ”
The other party replied to the shopkeeper like this, and the coldness between the words made the shopkeeper shudder, so that the shopkeeper couldn't help but look carefully at this white-haired woman who could be called stunningly cold, and couldn't help but secretly cry in his heart: This girl won't also come to find trouble, right?
At this time, Tang Ling, who had recovered from the interval of alcoholism, finally opened her eyes that had been closed for several days, and just swept to the white-haired woman, and spat out a sentence casually: "Why are you here?"
"Let me take a look at what you have become when even the gods and demons had to worship the gods and demons in the sky once upon a time. The white-haired woman replied Nine Heavens.
"Now, you see that?"
"I can see it clearly. ”
"Alright, get out of here, don't get in the way of my drinking. ”
Spit out a foul language that was far from matching his identity, Tang Ling blinked his already cloudy eyes vigorously, casually lifted a jar of unopened wine beside him, and drank it with his head held high. Jiutian looked at Tang Ling like this, and couldn't help but sneer again: "It seems that after sinking for half a month, your cultivation has begun to recover." ”
"After all, it's still too late to restore Yun'er's soul and let her merge into your body. ”
Tang Ling's words are neither sad nor joyful, nor even more angry, like a walking corpse.
"Then should I be glad that you still can't dismantle me and retrieve Yun'er's soul?" Jiutian sneered, "After all, you are only a mortal now. ”
"Mortals......"
Tang Ling was still swallowing the wine, Jiutian only heard these three words vaguely in the swallowing sound, and couldn't help but sarcastically say it again: "Yes, mortals who are incapable and can only use wine to kill their sorrows." ”
"If I can get rid of my sorrows by drinking, I'd rather die drunk in my dreams. After drinking it all, he only left Jiutian with a back, "Why don't you get out of here?"
"I have brought you a man who is now stunned by your downfall. ”
Jiutian replied like this, and after finishing her words, she flashed her delicate figure, and Mo Lengyan was standing at the door of the restaurant at this time.
Although the conversation between Tang Ling and Jiutian that he had just heard, the shopkeeper of the restaurant still felt like he was in a fog, but at this moment, Mo Lengyan's appearance immediately made him tremble! Since he recognized the blood jade pendant on Tang Ling's waist, how could he not recognize Mo Lengyan, who was famous in the sea of blood? At that moment, he hurriedly greeted him and saluted, but unfortunately Mo Lengyan did not have the intention of returning the salute at this time, and Tang Ling's seemingly decadent and sinken appearance made his heart fluctuate.
After being dumbfounded for a long time, Mo Lengyan finally spoke: "Master, ...... are you?"
Since the wedding of the Fengyun King that day, if there is nothing important, Mo Lengyan has been staying in Luoyang, taking care of the affairs of the Fengyun King's mansion, and as for the duties in the sea of blood, he has remained above the level of never slacking. Although Jiutian had clearly told him what had happened when he found him, Mo Lengyan still couldn't believe that his master, who had once indifferently looked at the mundane world, would now become like this.
Tang Ling just glanced at Mo Lengyan, and then asked, "Do you have what I want?"
"The map of the distribution of the altars of the underworld is now on the disciples. ”
"Bring it. ”
