Chapter 10: An Actor's Self-Cultivation
After the old master of the Wanxian League left, Hao Zhi and Siyu ate something in the inn, and were about to leave, when they saw three middle-aged people dressed like businessmen approaching the inn, and the person who took the lead had a long knife pinned to his waist, and his hair was bald, and he opened the door when he entered: "Aunt Li!
"Come on, come on!" The curtain behind the counter was scooped up, and a middle-aged woman about forty years old with an accent popped out, who was the shopkeeper of this flower inn, and the village people called "Aunt Li".
Seeing the three people standing in front of the counter, Aunt Li immediately put on a smiling face: "Yo, isn't this Boss Yang? ”
This Boss Yang is a big boss who runs a spice business in a small town not far from Luyuan Village, because he learned some kung fu from a martial artist when he was young, so he usually runs a merchant and doesn't bother to ask a bodyguard martial artist, he has always done it himself, followed by two people, one is his own brother, and the other is a partner in the spice business. These three people go to Luyuan Village once or twice a month, and they are also frequent visitors to the Flower Fragrance Inn.
As soon as Aunt Li's words fell, the staircase was young, and the little churchman who was about thirteen or fourteen years old immediately greeted her, and was about to lead Boss Yang and the three of them to the second floor.
"Wait a minute!" Boss Yang raised his hand and pointed to the door: "When we first came in, we saw the old drunkard lying in front of the door, Aunt Li, aren't you afraid that he will delay the business of your inn?"
Speaking of the old drunkard outside the door, Aunt Li sighed several times: "Alas, Boss Yang, you don't know, it's all because my little Li Zi is kind-hearted, seeing that the old drunkard is pitiful, he rewarded him with a mouthful of food, and took a bottle of wine left over from the guest to him, but he didn't expect him to rely here since then, no, for three months, like work, every day on time and punctually to the door to beg for wine!"
Boss Yang frowned, and then asked, "If Aunt Li doesn't mind, why don't you let the old man solve this trouble for you?"
After speaking, she looked at Aunt Li and waited for her to make a decision.
Although the old drunkard didn't cause any trouble to the Flower Inn, lying at the gate all day long, plus being a beggar, naturally had some peculiar smell, which more or less affected the business of the Flower Inn. It is no longer suitable for Aunt Li's orphan and widow to take Xiao Lizi to open a shop in Luyuan Mountain, and she is afraid of getting into trouble so she doesn't pay attention to the old drunkard beggar, if you want to say that she doesn't mind, it's impossible!
At this time, when I heard that Boss Yang had plans to help, my heart suddenly blossomed: "Really, then, thank you so much Boss Yang!"
Xiao Lizi next to him couldn't bear it: "Mother, that old drunkard is really pitiful, we ......"
"Shut up!" Aunt Li shouted with an unkind face: "If you kid doesn't get into trouble, can you get Boss Yang to take action at this time?"
"Yes......" Xiao Lizi sighed and stopped talking.
Boss Yang nodded to the two behind him, and said to Aunt Li: "Aunt Li, don't worry about this matter to the old man." ”
With that, the three of them walked out of the Flower Inn, and not long after, there was a noise at the door.
Hao Zhi picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity." ”
Siyu said curiously: "Master, what is the pity?"
"It's a pity that it's a fairy fate. ”
"Huh?" Siyu was puzzled.
Hao Zhi smiled: "Don't you feel that in this Luyuan Village, in addition to the aura of you and me, there is also a different aura induction?"
"Uh...... I don't care too much!" Siyu stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, although Hao Zhi always taught her to go out, she must pay attention to the changes in the aura around her to prevent a sneak attack by monks with bad intentions, but every time she goes out, Hao Zhi is by her side, Siyu will feel very relieved, and it is easy to forget these details.
Siyu immediately understood what Hao Zhi meant: "Master, are you saying that the old drunkard they are talking about is the master of the aura, yes, a monk?"
Hao Zhi nodded.
"Yes...... But how can a monk never become a beggar, can he?
Hao Zhi smiled: "That's right, what kind of identity is a monk, in this Great Zhao Country, the Xuanquan Realm monks are equivalent to a sixth- or seventh-grade official, and the owner of this aura is clearly at least above the Xuanhu Realm, with the identity of a first-grade official, it is a little intriguing that he would choose to beg!"
"What if...... Others don't like red tape, so they like to be free?"
Hao Zhi shook his head: "Then why doesn't he go anywhere else, just beg in this Flower Inn?"
"Oops!" Siyu stomped his feet: "People are not as smart as Shizun, Shizun, don't sell Guanzi, hurry up and explain it to me!
"Just now the proprietress said that the old drunkard has been here for 3 months, and he comes to beg on time every day, which means that the Flower Inn has something he is interested in or ...... Person. That Aunt Li is average in appearance and older, so it is obviously unlikely that it is for her. Secondly, the environment here can be seen by the two of you as soon as you sense it, and the thin aura is not a blessed place, and there is no aura sensibility such as spiritual artifacts and elixirs, and it is obviously impossible for 'things'. Thirdly, the young little cousin, although he is not a gifted person, has a very rare golden spiritual root, if I am not mistaken, it is still a relatively rare golden and wood dual-line spiritual root...... So ......"
Speaking of which, Hao Zhi didn't need to say much, Siyu had already guessed that the old drunkard thought that he had taken a fancy to the dual-line spiritual root of the small hall and the golden wood, and he intended to accept apprentices, so he kept coming to the Flower Fragrance Inn in the past 3 months. A monk who is at least in the Xuanhu Realm came here to "beg", to put it bluntly, he still rushed to Xiao Lizi, it was nothing more than passing by here by chance, and he accidentally found that Xiao Lizi was qualified, talented, and had the intention to accept apprentices, so he borrowed wine to test Xiao Lizi's heart to see if it was worth accepting him as an apprentice.
But although this little plum has a golden wood spiritual root and has a cultivation talent, he has a cowardly personality, even if he thinks it is the right thing, he only dispelled his thoughts because of his mother's drinking. Of course, it is no longer suitable for an orphan and widow to open an inn to earn a living, and it is unlikely that they will "will" provide relief to beggars and refugees. So it's not so much that Xiao Lizi broke off the fairy fate by himself, but that he was cut off by his mother's unintentional act.
Siyu was embarrassed: "But ...... It's a pity that the fairy fate was cut off like this, ......"
"Since I can last for 3 months, I'm afraid I'm quite satisfied with this small hall, and I don't think it will be so easy to give up, and I will definitely have to investigate. Even if the apprentices fail, isn't there still me?" Hao Zhi smiled, he didn't know that the little hall of this inn actually had a spiritual root, but he found out that the old drunkard outside the door was a monk, and deduced that he must have a plan for begging in the Flower Fragrance Inn for a long time, so he opened his spiritual eye and swept around, and accidentally discovered the potential of the small hall.
Siyu muttered: "Aren't you just accepting an apprentice? Why are there still these twists and turns, aren't you afraid of trouble?"
Hao Zhi picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth: "It's better to have a shortage than to have an abundance." ”
Siyu pouted: "Then why do I think that as soon as Shizun saw someone with a spiritual root, he immediately rushed up with the admission letter?"
Hao Zhi immediately denied it: "Who said that? It's not a medium-grade or above spiritual root, I just ignore it." ”
"So is the Egret Immortal Guan Xiaodao Boy?"
"You didn't notice?"
“...... Master, you know that people don't like to look around with their eyes open, and it's just a matter of seeing the aura, in case you see something dirty......"
Hao Zhi was speechless: "Good boy, you are a monk anyway......"
"Monks can't be afraid of dirty things, and monks are afraid of cockroaches, so I'm not afraid of cockroaches!" Siyu said, straightening up confidently, as if he was saying something very honorable.
"Defeated to you. ”
"Does the master want to accept that cousin as an apprentice?"
Hao Zhi nodded.
As a master of a faction determined to (probably) build the first cultivation sect in the spiritual world (Siyu: hehe), Hao Zhi naturally would not let go of such a good seedling, so not only did he not say anything to remind Aunt Li, but he was still thinking about how to let the old drunkard outside dispel the idea of accepting apprentices.
I can't find out the cultivation of the old drunkard with my aura, it seems that my cultivation should be above me, it should be the Xuanhai Realm...... Case...... Hey......
Hao Zhi suddenly thought of a good idea.
Didn't the old man want to take in apprentices?
Then give him a better seedling, won't it?
Just as Hao Zhi was thinking, the movement outside the inn door was a little smaller, and Boss Yang and his two brothers came in, patting the dust on their bodies, and said: "Aunt Li, that old drunkard will definitely not come again for a while! The old man also let go, if he dares to come here to make trouble again, the old man will definitely unload his legs." ”
Aunt Li was moved to tears, thinking about what kind of identity Boss Yang was, and she was willing to help, and immediately said: "Thank you Boss Yang, thank you Boss Yang!"
Hao Zhi, who was not far away, pouted, and a little martial artist went to unload the monk's legs, and he burned the high incense for eight lifetimes without being slapped into slag with one palm! Moreover, if he has nothing to do, he is either a traitor or a thief, and a shrewd businessman really helps out to do something that loses his value because he has lived here a few times? A big boss will do something to an old drunkard and beggar, and it is strange that there is no greasy in this!
But in this inn, Hao Zhi couldn't imagine that there would be anything that would make Boss Yang interested, and he suddenly became suspicious of Boss Yang's motives, if there were no bad intentions, forget it, if there was, he could take the opportunity to brush up on Aunt Li's favorability, maybe it would be helpful for him to rob his apprentice.
"Good boy, if we don't leave today, we'll live here. Hao Zhi suddenly smiled.
"Oh. Siyu nodded puzzled, didn't the master still say that he would leave Luyuan Village earlier and rush to Minglu Cliff to snipe Elder Zuo of the Rakshasa Gate? Why did he change his hexagram after a while......
"But...... There is something you need to do before you go back to your room...... Come on, come on, give you a lesson for the teacher, and the name of the course is - an actor's self-cultivation. ”
"Huh?"
