Chapter 121: Where is sacred?
There is a spacious clearing in the bamboo forest outside the capital of Ho. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the eyes of mortals, this is just an open space, but in the eyes of monks, it is the largest restaurant in Hokyo.
Wangxian Tower.
As the name suggests, you can see immortals in this restaurant, and you can also see many people who want to become immortals.
However, today's Wangxian Tower is deserted and quiet, as if it really does not exist in the world at all.
"This is the first time a guest has been stolen?"
Shopkeeper Xiao had a sad face, holding two expensive white jade balls in one hand, and staring at the shopkeeper with angry eyes.
The shopkeeper hung his head and replied with a bitter face: "Back to the shopkeeper, the thirty-eighth." ”
"Rubbish!" The gentle shopkeeper Xiao in the past tore his voice and scolded for the first time in his life, and the white jade ball he was playing with was crushed by him.
"I, Xiao, am the descendant of the God of Wealth of the Five Roads, and I can't deal with a thief!"
"Shopkeeper...... The little one is really not lazy, since the guest entered the door, the little one has been staring, and he hasn't even blinked his eyes, but the little thief is still under his nose......"
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, a steel-like palm slapped the emaciated face fiercely, making a snapping sound!
The shopkeeper was fanned in a circle, and then turned back to the same place. Although he was aggrieved in his heart, he didn't dare to let out a moan, so he had to secretly cry bitter in his heart.
In the past six months, Wangxian Tower has continued to have the magic weapons of guests stolen. Treasure thieves come out of nowhere, come without a trace, and go without a trace.
So far, the shopkeeper doesn't even know whether the thief is a man or a woman, a human or a ghost, but he just watched the magic weapons disappear out of thin air in front of his eyes. Those magic weapons are all priceless treasures that can't be bought with any amount of money. If it weren't for the high reputation of Shopkeeper Xiao before, I am afraid that the signboard of Wangxian Tower would have been demolished by the angry owners.
Half a year ago, Wangxian Tower's business was booming, and there was no place for monks from all walks of life if they didn't rank in advance, but now there are fewer and fewer guests, and they basically can't even see a guest every day, which shows that the reputation of Wangxian Tower has been almost ruined. If this continues, Wangxian Tower will close sooner or later.
Shopkeeper Xiao looked at the poor shopkeeper and couldn't help but sigh. Angry is angry, he knows in his heart that even the owner of his own immortal family holy land has nothing to do about this matter, and he can't do anything with a shopkeeper. But he never dreamed that he would be planted in the hands of a person who stole chickens and dogs.
Taking a sip of herbal tea, Shopkeeper Xiao tried to calm the anger in his heart and asked:
"Who is the sacred that was stolen today, and how is the Tao going?"
"A very evil young man, who looks to be in his twenties. I didn't feel a trace of Xuanqing Qi from him at all, as if he was a mortal. ”
"Mortals?" Shopkeeper Xiao closed his eyes slightly, and then shook his head, "There is an eye-blocking barrier outside the Wangxian Tower, and mortals can't see it at all." This person is either a cultivator above the Eight Realms of Xuanqing, or he has practiced some evil and crooked exercises. ”
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, thinking that Xiao Shopkeeper Xuanqing Five Realms cultivated, if it was really a master above the Xuanqing Eight Realms, in case the other party was angry that the restaurant was poorly fortified, causing him to lose some ancient artifact, Shopkeeper Xiao was afraid that he would not be able to afford to sell Wangxian Tower.
Shopkeeper Xiao continued to ask: "Since you have been staring just now, what kind of person do you think that person is when you look at that person's behavior?"
The shopkeeper lowered his head and recalled for a while, and said, "...... It's very calm. I saw that after he found out that he had been stolen, he continued to order wine and food, and he specialized in expensive food. He drank almost all the precious wine that we had been hiding here for a hundred years. He'd been drinking for three hours, and he's still drinking alone. ”
"Looks like a drunkard, and a little clever drunkard......"
"Shopkeeper, either we don't take any money from him, so as not to offend him. ”
Shopkeeper Xiao gritted his teeth, and said as if he had made up his mind: "Give me a jar of good wine, and I will meet him." ”
With a squeak, the door of the back hall of Wangxian Tower slowly opened.
In the corner sat a young man dressed in a meteor crane, his figure covered in shadows, and it was even difficult to spot if he didn't look closely.
Shopkeeper Xiao held a jar of wine aged for a hundred years and walked slowly towards the young man. The steps under his feet did not make a sound, and it seemed a little strange.
The young man half-closed his eyes, and saw that Shopkeeper Xiao put an altar of immortals upside down on the table, slowly opened one eye, and a drunken smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Good wine. ”
Shopkeeper Xiao squeezed out a businessman's smiling face and said: "My surname is Xiao, and I am the shopkeeper here, and I am under the guidance of Zhao Bao Tianzun Xiao Sheng." Dare to ask Your Excellency's honorable name, what is the sect, where is the cave?"
"Long admiration, long admiration. The young man replied drunkenly: "Junior Su Ji, there is no door, no faction, no cave, only a wooden box, and it is still missing just now." ”
"Wooden box?" Shopkeeper Xiao glanced at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper nodded.
Shopkeeper Xiao continued to ask: "Where was Su Gongzi's wooden box just now?"
Su Ji dipped his finger in the wine, drew a box on the table, pointed to the box and said:
"It was just placed here. I looked up and took my first sip of wine, and when I looked down, I saw that it was gone. Oh! yes...... And a lot of coils that I had brought with me were gone. ”
Shopkeeper Xiao pondered for a while, poured a glass of wine for Su Ji, and said, "Blame me for being negligent for a while and not greeting me well." Su Gongzi's meal, it is my invitation. ”
Su Ji glanced around and found that there were only two people in the restaurant, Shopkeeper Xiao and the shopkeeper, and couldn't help but say meaningfully: "One meal for a treasure, I'm afraid there is no more cost-effective deal in the world, right?"
Shopkeeper Xiao frowned, and there was a sharp light in his eyes, but it dimmed in an instant, and asked softly, "What does Gongzi mean?"
After a while, Su Ji exhaled heavily, and said with a relieved smile:
"Forget it. If you lose something, no matter who blames you, you can't come back on your own......"
Shopkeeper Xiao's frowning brows instantly relaxed.
"Thank you for your hospitality. ”
After speaking, Su Ji was just about to step out of the threshold, when he suddenly saw a red smoke rising from his feet, and one foot quickly retracted.
After the red smoke dissipated, a green Qinan wooden box suddenly appeared on the ground.
Shopkeeper Xiao and Shopkeeper Xiaoer stared at the same time, staring at the wooden box with their eyes.
"Is this wooden box the one that Childe lost?" asked Shopkeeper Xiao.
Su Ji didn't answer, just picked up the wooden box silently, opened it, and saw that the bamboo leaf green snake inside was still coiled inside, sleeping quietly. In addition to the snake, there is also a white cloth in the box, which exudes a faint fragrance. On the cloth is neatly written a line of delicate words:
"Charlatan, shameless thief! Penniless, how can you entangle? Don't think that this girl will carry the black pot for you!"
Obviously he is a thief, but he still calls others a thief? Su Ji secretly smiled bitterly, he wanted to take a look at the restaurant where he agreed to meet Mu Lingyu in three months, but he never thought that he would encounter such a troublesome thing.
Shopkeeper Xiao watched Su Ji's reaction intently from beginning to end, turned his eyes to the white cloth, and asked, "What is written on the cloth?"
"It's nothing ......" Su Ji deliberately coughed a few times, spat on the white cloth, and crumpled it into a ball, "This little thief knows that he can't afford to offend me, so he returns the thing and begs me not to blame." ”
Shopkeeper Xiao looked directly at Su Ji with his eyes, and a hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes. "If the thief is afraid of Your Excellency, why did he return the box and not the coil?"
Su Ji was stunned for a moment. As if he understood something, the shopkeeper looked at Su Ji quietly, and his face sank.
The silence is filled with a sense of slaughter.
"Well...... this" Su Ji smiled lightly: "Maybe it's because you worship me, so you want to keep a souvenir." ”
With that, Su Ji turned around and left.
"Childe stays!" Shopkeeper Xiao's face turned cold, and he said gloomily: "Recently, the restaurant has been stolen a lot, and it is the first time that I have returned things in good condition like today." Xiao had the courage to beg Gongzi to explain this matter clearly. ”
Su Ji turned around slowly and said with a smile: "I see, then I should fully cooperate." Let's go inside and talk. ”
As he spoke, Su Ji politely stretched out a hand and made a gesture of please.
The moment Shopkeeper Xiao turned around, Su Ji used one foot to cut a gap out of thin air and got in.
"Ahh
"Whether it's a gang or not, now he can't argue with anything but to run away. Shopkeeper Xiao smiled coldly and said, "It's a pity that he can't run ......far."
