Section 42: The Way of a Gentleman

Everyone in the outer hall was puzzled when they saw that the shopkeeper was so groveling to a fat Taoist priest who was not good-looking and had shabby clothes, and they all looked at them in surprise.

The shopkeeper saw Xiao Erzhen kneeling down, so he said to Xiao Pang nervously: "Immortal Chief, look~"

"Get him up!" Chubby waved his hand, and then suddenly asked curiously, "Do you know who I am?"

"This immortal chief said and laughed, I met the immortal chief for the first time, naturally I don't know who the immortal chief is, but in the inn that has been opened here for decades, all kinds of people have seen it, so I recognized the immortal chief at a glance as a master of the world who cultivates immortals, Xiao Er has eyes and no beads, offended you, and please forgive him for the sake of his youth and ignorance!"

After hearing the shopkeeper's words, everyone in the field couldn't help but gasp. What is that? That is the immortal? There are countless legends about such masters among mortals, and they all say that they call for wind and rain, go to heaven and earth, and are omnipotent. If the Taoist priest in front of him is really this kind of god, then Xiao Er's recklessness just now is indeed too dangerous, in case he meets the other party's temper, he can make life worse than death by using a little immortal magic at will, and there is no place to reason, even the government will definitely not dare to care about the affairs of immortal cultivators.

Xiao Er finally understood the shopkeeper's hard work at this time, and knew that the shopkeeper let him kneel down and apologize to save himself, otherwise, if he offended a monk, the consequences made him shudder when he thought about it.

Xiaopang didn't expect that the shopkeeper here really had some eyesight, but it was normal to think about it carefully, how could people say that he had also opened an inn under the Xuantian Temple for decades, and he must have served many monks who came and went to the Xuantian Temple, and it was normal to have this kind of eyesight.

After understanding this, the old evil didn't bother to bother with Xiao Er, and said directly: "This kid didn't have a door, he should have been taught some lessons, but since he has already known his mistake, then I won't be too lazy to care." ”

"Thank you Immortal, thank you Immortal!" The shopkeeper heard that Xiaopang didn't care about this matter, and immediately thanked him gratefully.

"Okay, okay, I'm here to stay in the hotel, let's arrange a clean courtyard for me first!" After speaking, Xiaopang casually threw out a gold ingot of five taels, and then said: "This is a deposit, so that you don't have to worry about me running away!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" The shopkeeper said embarrassedly: "Immortal Chang doesn't have to be like this, you can live here with me, just to reward my face, how can I collect your money?"

He waved his hand a little impatiently and said, "I don't have the habit of eating and living for nothing, hurry up and find a room!"

"Yes, yes!" Seeing that Xiaopang insisted, the shopkeeper didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly led Xiaopang to the backyard in person.

After a few breaths, the shopkeeper came out again, came directly to Xiao Er, and reprimanded: "How many times have I told you? You can't look down on people, why don't you remember your surname? This time, I am fortunate to meet a person who is good at talking, and if you meet a small-minded evil monk, you don't even know how to die!"

"No, isn't it?"

"Why not? How many high-rollers come and go in this town are unknown, do you know?" The shopkeeper said angrily: "In the future, remember that when you see this kind of immortal who is not good-looking but has an unusually stable look, you must have more eyes, don't give away your life in a daze!"

"Yes, yes!" the shopkeeper agreed, and then suddenly asked, "By the way, shopkeeper, are you sure that one is the immortal chief?

"Shut up!" the shopkeeper said angrily, "you idiot, who would throw gold away like scrap metal?"

"Oh, that's right!" Xiao Erleng paused for a moment and said, "Even the emperor's relatives live in our place, and there is no such immortal as generous!"

"It's good that you understand!" The shopkeeper then said, "You go and equip the immortal chief with a good banquet now, and ask the master to take out the strength to eat milk, and you must do the best." Then take out the hundred-year-old daughter red of the secret jar and send it to the immortal chief!"

"Huh?" When Xiao Er heard this, he was immediately taken aback and said: "Shopkeeper, that jar daughter red is the treasure of our town store?

"You know a fart, this immortal chief looks like a master, but all such people don't like to owe favors, once signed, it will inevitably be greatly returned. I will also serve him well this time, and when the time comes, maybe the immortal chief will reward me with a few elixirs that prolong my life!" said the shopkeeper proudly.

"Ah, the shopkeeper is smart!" said the shopkeeper after hearing this, and immediately stretched out his thumb.

"Hehe, that's natural, you kid still have to learn something, this is called a gentleman can be bullied!" the shopkeeper laughed. What he didn't know was that although this immortal chief was an immortal chief, it was a pity that he had nothing to do with the gentleman, so his pretentiousness was doomed to failure.

That night, Chubby enjoyed the wine and food provided by the shopkeeper very much, especially the jar of century-old wine, which really made Chubby praise him, he was even reluctant to drink it, and kept half of it.

And early the next morning, when the shopkeeper planned to wait for Xiaopang to come out and ask for peace, so as to make some requests by the way, he found that the left waited, the left did not come, the right waited, and the right did not come. Seeing that it was almost noon, the shopkeeper really had no patience, so he had the courage to knock on the fat door under the pretext of greetings, but he didn't expect the door to open in response, and there was no lock inside.

The shopkeeper knew that something was wrong at a glance, and hurriedly went in to take a look, only to find that Xiaopang had already left, leaving only a line of big characters on the wall, 'A gentleman can be bullied'!

Seeing this line of words, the shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and he realized that his speech yesterday had been heard by others, and he was immediately ashamed and ashamed, and distressed. Naturally, I am ashamed that my little abacus was recognized by others, and it was directly written on the wall to ridicule, and what distressed me was that jar of century-old wine. This jar of daughter red is said to be his grandmother's dowry, and there is only one jar left until now, and he has been reluctant to drink, but he unexpectedly accompanied him in vain this time.

And this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that he put on a jar of good wine, not only did not slap the family, but also offended a monk. This, isn't this a typical loss of the lady and the loss of the army?

Let's say that the little fat is deliberately playing the shopkeeper, and the sword will fly away before dawn. It happened to be early in the morning when I came to the Xuantian Temple on the mountain.

Xuantian Temple is worthy of being the royal Taoist temple of the Blue Moon Country, covering an area of thousands of acres, on the mountain, there are several large and small palaces in the mountains, and there are thousands of Taoist priests during the period. However, most of these Taoist priests are mortals with low qualifications, although they also practice some exercises, but unfortunately they only linger the day after tomorrow, and only a few of them enter the innate realm. And the master of the Taoist temple is a foundation building monk stationed in the Xuantian Courtyard, he lives in seclusion here all the year round, and in the eyes of mortals, he belongs to the immortal-like figure!
