The loess is vast, and the endless plains stretch out under the sky. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although the wind blows on the face, it cannot extinguish a child's curiosity. The flower was like a wolf leaning against the wooden window next to the carriage and looked out, only to see that the dry ground was covered with net-like cracks. The dealers who have been eaten by locusts along the way are swaying in the wind like defeat.

A yellow mud road that had been flattened by iron horses was piled with white bones, and there were a few deep rut marks. There are vague traces of human life around, and now it seems that only the gloomy and desolate eyes remain.

The hindsight waved his whip and said gloomily:

"This was originally a small village in the Shen Kingdom, three years ago, King Xuan of Zhou led troops to invade, and when he returned victoriously, he allowed his soldiers to burn and loot here on the grounds of rewarding the three armies. In those days, there was thick smoke billowing here, corpses everywhere, and the miserable sound of calling for children and daughters, crying fathers and mothers. Today, a large area of land in the vicinity is deserted. ”

The words were filled with infinite resentment, and from the coachman's words, Su Ji could faintly feel that the hatred between Shen Guo and Zhou had intensified to the point of freezing three feet.

When the scorching sun was in the sky at noon, Hua Ruwolf suddenly let out an exclamation, waking up Su Ji who was napping.

In the hazy sleepy eyes, Su Ji saw the flower like a wolf pointing out the window excitedly, and in the distance was an ancient city surrounded by forests. The rippling blue waters of the lake surround the city, like a transparent green belt.

Even if the hindsight of the car did not look back, he could imagine the excited expressions of the two people behind him, but he waved his horsewhip expressionlessly and said disapprerovingly:

"What you see is a mirage of Pingyang, the capital of Shen, and there are at least four days to go. ”

Then, as the hindsight said, in just a moment, the green forest, the blue lake, and the ancient city all disappeared without a trace, leaving only a barren plain, and all that could be heard was the dull sound of horses' hooves and wheels rolling.

Before sunset, the carriage rushed to a small inn called "Fengqi Building".

This is the only place where people live within a radius of several hundred miles. Without this inn, it would be impossible to imagine where this wasteland would have stretched.

The name of Fengqi Building is very big, but the face is very small. There wasn't even a diner inside, just a shopkeeper who was fiddling with an abacus and a shopkeeper who was nodding and napping. The clothes on the two of them are strange and colorful, and the shoulders are embroidered with five-colored pheasants and long-tailed apes, which are the costumes of the Western Rong people at a glance.

Su Ji casually found a table and sat down, only to feel that his mouth was dry, and when he saw that no one came to greet him, he shouted to himself:

"A jar of bamboo leaves!"

Xiao Er yawned, opened one eye lazily, and just wanted to reach out for the wine, but was stopped by the shopkeeper!

"Nope!"

The shopkeeper spoke with a strange accent, replied with two words in a casual manner, and then buried his head in muttering something he didn't understand to Xiao Er, as if he was complaining about something.

Hua Ruwolf was wondering, suddenly heard a sharp sound of horses' hooves, and stopped outside the inn.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves coming so quickly, Hua Ruwolf couldn't help but get up and take a look, and saw a white-haired young man coming over from a distance. The cyan Central Plains Taoist uniform on the young man's body made the flower like a wolf feel more cordial, and if you look closely, it is no different from the clothes of the Taoist child in the Qingling Temple.

When the shopkeeper saw the white-haired young man enter the store, he hurriedly walked out of the tent and invited him to the best position.

When Xiao Er saw the white-haired young man, he didn't hesitate to put Su Jiliang here, and trotted forward all the way to greet him.

"A jar of bamboo leaves!"

The exact same five words came out of the mouth of the white-haired youth, but the result was a world of difference. In the blink of an eye, the shopkeeper put a jar of bamboo leaves on the young man's table, and said with a flattering smile:

"There is a drought and lack of water here, and wine is more expensive than silver shellfish. This last jar of bamboo leaves is specially reserved for the ninth master, only a person of your status as the ninth master is worthy of drinking such wine. ”

The shopkeeper stammered endlessly, but the white-haired young man drank without saying a word, without the slightest intention of greeting him.

Hua Ruwolf took in everything that had just happened, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was already written on his face. Su Ji saw it interestingly, so he simply pricked up his ears and listened carefully, feeling that the shopkeeper seemed to have ulterior motives.

"Is there anything about my son?" said the shopkeeper again.

The white-haired young man drank to himself as if he hadn't heard.

The shopkeeper wanted to inquire again, but suddenly saw that someone was pulling his clothes, and when he looked down, he saw a child blinking at him with big eyes, pouting, and said dissatisfiedly:

"My master asked for wine, but you said no. He asked for wine, but you said it was. Aren't you bullying people?"

The shopkeeper was holding his sulk, and when he saw that the flower was like a wolf coming over to theorize, he simply poured his anger on him, and said with a contemptuous face:

"You little bastard, can you afford to drink such good wine, you Hanako? I don't let you out of the house, and I don't look at what you are!"

Hua Ruwolf looked down at herself, and found that she did look like a little flower child now.

Because I was afraid that the girl in white would chase after me recently, the carriage kept hurrying all the time. The precious clothes on Hua Ruwolf's body had been dirty into a gray rag, and Su Ji's clothes were even more tattered, and there was a big gap in his chest that had been cut by a sword.

However, it was not the tattered clothes on their bodies that betrayed them, but a notched plate poking its head out of the wolf's arms. This unsightly treasure has now become the most favorable proof of Hanako's identity.

"Have you ever seen such a handsome beggar as us?" asked Su Ji in a raised voice.

"You're handsome in Hanako, but you're just a Hanako after all. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned his head to the white-haired young man and said with a smile: "I am such a son, as long as he can worship under the fox master's door, how much silver is needed, you must not be polite, just open your mouth ......."

When he heard the words "fox master", Hua Ruwolf suddenly looked at Su Ji. Su Ji made a silent gesture and motioned to continue listening.

The shopkeeper seemed to have a lot to say, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, and saw the white-haired young man raise two fingers and signal him to shut up.

At this time, the eyes of the white-haired young man were staring at the creation jade in the arms of the flower like a wolf.

"What a chic plate...... "The white-haired young man smiled.

Hua Ruwolf was at a loss, only listening to Su Ji behind him, and said loudly:

"No matter how chic, it's just a begging guy. ”

Su Ji's words expressed the shopkeeper's heart. The shopkeeper looked dazed, and he couldn't understand why anyone would be interested in a tool for asking for food.

Su Ji waved his hand, and Hua Ruwolf hurriedly ran back to him and tucked the plate back into the dirty clothes.

The white-haired young man glanced at the bronze bell on Su Ji's waist again, his face sank slightly, and then he slowly turned his head to look at the shopkeeper, his eyes were full of resentment.

The shopkeeper had already begun to break out in a cold sweat, but he was still confused. After pondering for a moment, he strode to Su Ji's side, craned his neck and shouted:

"You two are called Hanako! If you are willing to give the begging plate to the gentleman over there, I will invite you two for this meal!"

The shopkeeper's expression when he spoke was like a living bodhisattva who rescued the suffering. He pointed his nostrils to the two men below, waiting for them to offer the plate with both hands and give reverent thanks.

Once again, however, reality was unexpected.

Su Ji smiled indifferently, gently put a piece of golden shellfish on the table, and said to Hua Ruwolf:

"Little wolf, just point!"

Jin Bei's light was reflected in the shopkeeper's eyes, so shaking that he was about to pop out his eyes, and his wide open mouth seemed to be able to fit two fists.

Hua Ruwolf read the dishes on the wooden sign from beginning to end before he finished ordering. When the dishes were served, one table could no longer be placed, so the dishes had to be divided into three tables.

The shopkeeper respectfully presented the recovered ingot of silver to Su Ji, but he didn't know that this ingot of silver was his last property. Because he was in a hurry before, Su Ji only brought a piece of Jinbei. Thinking that he might really turn into a flower child after eating this meal, he stared at the sumptuous dish in front of him for a long time.

Hua Ruwolf blinked his eyes and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Su Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Wolf, do you Wang family usually eat like this?"

Hua Ruwolf shook his head and said, "There are more meals at home than this, and they are more expensive, but now I can't be so particular, and I only ordered the amount of one person, is it less?"

"Not a lot, not a lot. You've ordered enough for the chef to eat for several days, but unfortunately most of the dishes are going to be wasted. ”

"When the apprentice is at home, the subordinates will eat the vegetables that they can't eat, the dogs will eat the vegetables that they can't eat, and the flowers and trees in the garden will eat the flowers and trees in the garden if they can't finish eating, and they will not waste anything. ”

"There must be a lot of people in your family?"

"I don't know, but I know that there are more than a dozen of them around me. ”

The conversation between the two made the shopkeeper on the side so envious that his eyes were about to pop out.

At this moment, the shopkeeper took out a palm-sized white jade plate from the back room, lightly placed it on the white-haired young man's table, and said:

"Ninth Master, this is my ancestral artifact, it is priceless, my son ......"

Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, he saw the white-haired young man gently cover the white jade plate with one hand, and when he lifted it, the white jade plate had turned into a pile of white powder.

The white-haired young man also put a piece of golden shell on the table and said gloomily:

"This is left for your son to buy a coffin, he offended the fox master and is already dead. ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing.

The white-haired young man finished speaking and left, just colliding with the hindsight cannon that walked into the store.

Seeing the white-haired young man, Ma Houcang hurriedly shrank his feet and stopped at the door, and did not enter the store until he was far away.

Su Ji asked the hindsight: "Why did you tie the horse and bolt it for so long?"

Hindsight replied with a smile: "The wind and sand are too big, and the horses don't listen to people." ”

Su Ji said to Hua Ruwolf: "Wolf, go and see if he has done anything to our horse?"

Hua Ruwolf responded, immediately put down the chopsticks, and ran out.

After the hindsight, he rolled his eyes and said to Su Ji: "You deliberately broke away from the little master, you must have something to say." ”

"Do you know what that white hair came from?"

"I don't know his name, but I heard people call him Hu Jiuye, who is said to be the brother of the Xuanhu Sect. ”

"Xuanhu Sect?"

"That is the largest cultivation sect in our Shen Kingdom, and it is proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia. When you arrive in Pingyang City, you will see the wind valley cart on the street, the wooden ox and the flowing horse, all of which are made by the Xuanhu Sect. For 100 years, many people have dreamed of worshipping their doors. ”

"What does all this have to do with the fox master?"

"The fox master is the head of the Xuanhu Sect. ”

Su Ji hesitated for a moment and asked, "When did I become the head of the Xuanhu Sect?"

"Don't get me wrong. The fox master of the Xuanhu Sect is not you, but a real master. ”

The words of the hindsight were like a scoop of cold water, and they were poured down on Su Ji's head.
