In the city of Suizhou, a long street stretches from east to west to the quieter suburbs, with no end in sight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are many shops on both sides of the street, including teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, butcher shops, workshops, etc. In the open space in front of the store, there are many small vendors with large umbrellas.

There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, some carrying burdens and hurrying away, some driving ox carts to deliver goods, some driving donkeys to drive water, some pushing wheelbarrows, some stopping to watch the stalls, some bargaining with merchants, some looking at fortune tellers, and some children running and playing.

Chu Haotian and Mei Gui walked into a tavern, and after sitting down, the shopkeeper came over and greeted: "Two guest officers, there is a high-quality Fenjiu in the store, do you want to have a jar?"

Chu Haotian looked at Mei Gui and said lightly: "No need, come two bowls of knife-cut noodles and four steamed buns!"

The shopkeeper shouted: "Two bowls of knife-cut noodles, four steamed buns, please wait!" After speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Mei Gui.

I saw Mei Gui take out a handful of silver, put it on the table and said, "If there are any specialties in the store, just come up!" Xiao Er looked at the silver and promised to turn around and leave.

Chu Haotian was puzzled: "Miss Mei, what do you mean by this?"

Mei Gui smiled: "Childe is too careful, the little girl has no other intentions, just thank Childe for saving his life today." ”

Chu Haotian pinched the money bag containing copper coins in his arms, and thought to himself, this woman knew at a glance that she was everyone's lady, and her shots were all white flowers, but she was afraid that she was not used to eating coarse tea and light rice.

Or maybe I'm really grateful to myself for saving her life, and it's not an exaggeration to say that I repay her kindness, and it's natural to eat her meal. After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Since Miss has a heart, it is not easy to refuse in the future, so let Miss break the bank!"

Mei Gui replied: "Don't worry about it, tomorrow I have to ask my son to lead the way, I am very sorry for the disturbance!"

Chu Haotian hurriedly smiled and said: "Where to speak, there is no disturbance, by the way, by the way!"

While the two were talking, the shopkeeper had already brought a few dishes, and said with a smile while putting them on the table: "This dish is called 'Donkey Meat Stir-fried Bowl Tray', which is a must in Xuzhou, and the other two are 'Pork Liver Ground Vegetables' and 'Three Fresh' in Xuzhou, which are considered to be the specialties of our store." The two guest officers, please use it slowly, if you have something, just tell the small one!"

Chu Haotian thought to himself, since it was to repay your kindness to you and invite me, he was not polite, so he said: "Bring your Fenjiu to a jar ......" Before the words fell, Mei Gui glared at him, Chu Haotian hurriedly changed his words, "We won't be able to go on the road!"

Mei Gui smiled at the shopkeeper and asked, "Dare to ask how far is it to go to Cuifeng Mountain?"

The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "There are still sixty miles of land, dare to ask the two of you to participate in the selection meeting of Cuifeng Mountain?"

Mei Gui was surprised: "Exactly! You also know about the Disciple Election Conference?"

The shopkeeper said: "The most famous thing we have here is 'Cuifeng Mountain', and there is a selection meeting every ten years, how could I not know! There are four teenagers over there who are also going to attend the conference. Following the direction of the shopkeeper's finger, there were four drinking teenagers sitting at the table by the window, all tall and strong, with crimson faces.

Seeing that Mei Gui still wanted to speak, Chu Haotian hurriedly motioned for her to eat, Mei Gui understood, and the two of them lowered their heads and began to eat!

In a moment, there was a sudden cacophony of shouts in the streets, and people fled in panic. More than a dozen dark shadows walked outside the tavern, quickly surrounding the diners in the store.

Mei Gui raised her eyes and saw that the black-clothed man she met in the middle of the road today was wearing the same mask, and she was about to stand up in shock, but she was held down by Chu Haotian and said in a low voice: "Don't move yet, so as not to startle the snake, and wait for us to act when we see the opportunity." ”

After a dozen men in black stood in the tavern, a woman in black wearing a purple blindfold appeared at the door. The shopkeeper trembled and said, "All the heroes come to our store, I don't know what you are doing?"

The woman in black glanced at the store, pointed at the neck of the shopkeeper, and said lightly: "Is there a Taoist priest in this store?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly replied: "There is no Taoist priest in this store!"

The woman in black raised her sword slightly, and in an instant, Xiao Er's hat fell to the ground in two. The woman asked sharply again, "Are there any young people in this shop who are going to the 'Election Conference'?"

The shopkeeper's whole body trembled like a convulsion, and he looked at Chu Haotian and Mei Gui at the door. At this moment, the four young men sitting at the window were drunk, and suddenly stood up and said: "My four brothers are going to participate in the selection meeting, dare to ask what ......" Before he finished speaking, the black-clothed man beside him had already raised his scimitar and stabbed it, and in the blink of an eye, all four of them fell in a pool of blood.

The woman in black sneered: "Arrogant people who don't know whether to live or die!"

The faces of everyone in the tavern changed drastically, and they all got under the table, only Chu Haotian and Mei Gui did not move. The woman in black raised her feet and approached Chu Haotian and the others step by step.

Haotian shouted in his heart: "It's over! It's over!" Haotian shouted in his heart: "It's over! Run!" His hand slowly stretched out and grabbed Mei Gui's hand, and he was about to run away, but he heard a man in black running outside the door shouting: "Report to the hall master, three Taoist priests were found in the inn in front of me, and the mana is strong, we are not opponents, please also ask the hall master to move ......."

"Waste! I can't even beat a few stinky Taoists, what's the use of leaving you?" the woman in black kicked the man in black and said angrily. With that, like a bolt of lightning shot out of the door, and immediately, all the black-clothed people in the tavern followed.

Chu Haotian was shocked into a cold sweat, and when he saw the man in black leaving, he hurriedly got up to leave. But he was stopped by the shopkeeper and said, "Wait a minute, please settle the account!"

Chu Haotian said angrily: "Thank you for reminding me, I almost forgot to settle accounts with you! The situation was critical just now, why did you stare at us, you were almost killed, believe it or not, I'll gouge out your eyeballs now!"

The shopkeeper was obviously not afraid of Chu Haotian, and shouted with a sneer: "Hehe, born in troubled times, everyone is responsible for self-protection, what's the fault?

Mei Gui saw two big men walking out of the inner room, and came straight to the door, thinking that this store is also a nest of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and snobbery, but it is not appropriate to make trouble at this time, it is better to leave quickly. Then he said: "The silver taels are on the table, you can get them yourself!" After that, he picked up Chu Haotian and walked out, and the shopkeeper looked at the silver on the table and did not stop it.

When I got out of the tavern, I saw that there were masked men in black guarding the doors of each inn. Chu Haotian exclaimed in a low voice: "It seems that the inn can't live, for the sake of safety, let's hurry to Cuifeng Mountain overnight!" After that, he took Mei Gui's hand, lowered his head and fled in the opposite direction to the man in black.

As soon as he came out of the city gate, he met a group of black-clothed people from the Yuanling Sect on horseback, and when he looked at it, it was the white skull mask woman and the disciples he met in the middle of the road today.

Chu Haotian hurriedly pulled Mei Gui to turn around and run back, and just after running two steps, he tripped over the flying whip rope and fell to the ground. Immediately, the man in black flew up and landed beside him like a ghost, surrounding them.

"Hahaha, where are you two going in a hurry?" the woman in the white skull mask flew off her horse and laughed.

"Alas, it's really ghostly, and I bumped into the hands of these evil ghosts again!" Chu Haotian helped Mei Gui up and sighed.
