Chapter 2: Temptation
"Interesting, interesting...."The man in the green robe whispered, and then moved his gaze out the window, as if observing something.
"It's good that the man didn't notice me, so it's better to be careful. Facing this situation for the first time, Xu Hao was really nervous, but he still made a casual appearance on the surface.
After a while, there were already more people in the store, although Xu Hao had already stepped into the immortal path, but this was really not the time for him to show his powers, everything still had to rely on ordinary power, so he was also very busy. However, his heart never let go, because the man in the green robe was always looking out the window and had no intention of leaving.
"Xiao Er, let's get a pound of venison, and add some aged wine, quick!" The voice came from the mouth of a strong man with a ** upper body on a table next to the man in the green robe, Xu Hao saw it, and shouted in his heart, he was actually avoiding the area where the mysterious man was sitting all morning, but he was not allowed to think much at the moment, so he immediately answered and went to the kitchen.
"Xiao Li, Lao Xu I have encountered some trouble today, do you see the strong man leaning against the window on the west side, help me go and add some good wine to him with a pound of spotted venison, and please have a drink when you come back." Xu Hao said to a little boy who was half a head shorter, his face full of helplessness.
Xiao Li's full name is Li Shuang, and like Xu Hao, he is the second child in the restaurant.
"Tut-tut. Li Shuang lifted the back curtain of the hall and saw the big man in the west window, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, "Brother Hao, you are also unlucky enough, how did you provoke such a big man, it's just that, the little brother will go this for you." ”
"Hahaha, you're still a brother enough. ”
After a while, Xiao Li took out the prepared wine and food from the kitchen and brought it to the big man, "Guest officer, here are the drinks and food you want!"
"Hurry up, it's grinding, and you won't let people eat!" The big man was obviously in a hurry, and his face was full of anger.
"Yes, yes, small next time, pay attention, the guest officer is slow to use. Li Shuang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, thinking that this person was indeed difficult to deal with, and when he turned around to leave, a gentle voice suddenly came from the table next to him.
"Wait, this shopkeeper, I just saw that it was the slightly taller Xiao Erying's wine and food, why did he change it after it came out. It was the first time that the man in the green robe had spoken out in this shop, and there was a sharp smell in his words, and then he immediately turned back to a gentle expression.
"The man was busy in the kitchen, and I was always in charge of it. Li Shuang said with a smiling face, and for a while he couldn't figure out why the guest in front of him was asking.
"Oh, really, I've been sitting here for almost a morning, and it's always the gray-clad little er wandering around the store, and I've never seen me entertained, is there anything wrong?"
"Well, this... Guest officer, wait a minute, I'll call him out. Li Shuang seemed to feel that something was wrong, and then responded, and then went out to find Xu Hao.
Although Xu Hao is in the backyard, after all, it is also the realm of the fourth layer of qi refining, and he can hear every word in the hall clearly, and when he heard the words of the man in the green robe at this moment, he was immediately shocked, "It's not good, it seems that he is aware of my existence." ”
Wu, Xu Hao's expression lit up, "By the way, Lingxu Grass, I have a Lingxu Grass on me." Xu Hao seemed to think of something, and his face returned to normal slightly, "Hey, my current state of mind is really unstable, and I still need to cultivate." ”
"Brother Hao, Brother Hao, things outside seem to be a little tricky, the little white face next to the strong man wants to see you by name, and the tone seems to be unkind, what have you provoked recently." At this time, Li Shuang hurriedly ran to the backyard, looked at Xu Hao who was standing there, spoke anxiously, and repeated to him the original words of the man in the green robe.
"It's okay, it's okay, you go and rest, I'll deal with it. Xu Hao was lucky to stabilize his mind and strode to the hall, while Li Shuang followed him.
"This guest officer, seeing that you have been staring out of the window all morning, there is no sign of ordering wine, the little one thinks that you are one of those people who occasionally pass by and want to rest temporarily in the store, if it is really a small slack, you can only blame the small eye frustration, and I hope you Haihan, after all, there are many people in the store, and you can't be busy for a while. Xu Hao came to the man's table, his face full of sincerity and apology.
"Oh, can you get busy now?" the blue-robed man took out a blue stone from his sleeve and placed it on the table, with an unpredictable look on his face.
Looking at the stones on the table, Xu Hao's heart shook suddenly, how could he not recognize this seemingly inconspicuous stone, this thing is a low-grade spirit stone, which contains a wealth of heaven and earth aura, and is an indispensable cultivation resource for immortal cultivators, and Xu Hao has only heard of it, he has never seen it with his own eyes, and at this moment, he felt the abundant spiritual power fluctuations on it, and concluded that it was a spirit stone. If it weren't for Xu Hao's lack of spirit stone cultivation, with his reasonable qualifications, he wouldn't have only reached the level of the fourth level of qi cultivation in six years.
Although Xu Hao's heart was churning like waves at this moment, he still had a calm look on his face, looked at the mysterious man in front of him, and replied puzzledly: "I don't understand what you mean, can you say it more clearly?"
"Okay, then I'll make it clearer. The blue-robed man seemed to be waiting for Xu Hao to answer, and suddenly, a cyan aura wrapped around his right hand, so fierce that Xu Hao struck out a palm, and between the lightning and fire, Xu Hao was knocked out, spurting out a large mouthful of blood to the ground, and fell to the ground.
The man in the green robe couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that Xu Hao was really knocked out and didn't do anything, and he didn't want to deliberately do it, as if he had deduced something wrong.
And this palm Xu Hao should have been able to dodge, but the moment he came to the blue-robed man, he found that he had been maintaining the state of spiritual power running to the peak. In order not to let himself leak out, Xu Hao simply suppressed his realm when he was a mortal, and forcibly caught the palm of the man in the green robe, but it was not enough to be fatal, and then he could recover with a little pranayama.
As soon as the blue-robed man made a move, the store was in chaos, and everyone seemed to see that the little white face of the scholar in front of them was absolutely extraordinary, and immediately someone exclaimed: "Immortal! This is the method of the immortal family! The immortal of the Sumeru faction is here, everyone should not kneel down quickly!"
As soon as these words came out, the people in the store woke up one after another, and immediately shouted that the saint was wise and martial, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Li Shuang was also stunned at the moment, but after a moment, he came back to his senses, and immediately went to help Xu Hao, who fell to the ground, and muttered, "What kind of immortal is this, he beats people like this without saying a word." ”
Xu Hao listened, a wry smile appeared on his face, looking at the concern in Li's eyes, his heart couldn't help but warm, and said, "I'm fine, just rest for a while." ”
Li Shuang looked at Xu Hao, and was about to continue saying something, when he was immediately interrupted by a majestic voice from outside the hotel.
"The immortals are angry, the immortals are angry, if there is anything that the small shop is not well taken care of, even if it is reprimanded, the small one must be changed. The person who came was Wang Fuguo, the owner of the hotel, and standing next to him was his son Dagui, Wang Fuguo walked towards the man in the green robe as he spoke, and secretly handed over a spirit stone to the man in his hand, but this did not escape Xu Hao's eyes, it was a medium-grade spirit stone, and one piece alone was worth the sum of a hundred lower-grade spirit stones. Xu Hao secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, and the man in the green robe was also shocked, even if he was only an outer disciple of the Sumeru Sect, and there were only more than thirty low-grade spirit stones in a month, and he was also happy to see such a big wealth at this moment, but then his complexion returned to normal.
Wang Dagui on the side saw Xu Hao standing there weakly, and he was also a little anxious in his heart, but for his father's sake, he didn't dare to make any moves at this moment.
"Don't dare, your Excellency is serious, Jia Ke, an outer disciple of the Lower Sumeru Sect, came today to bring Wang Dagui Wang's junior brother back to the sect to restore his life. The man in the green robe hugged his fist at Wang Fuguo, looked at the big gui next to him and spoke softly.
Wang Fuguo smiled and glanced at the nobles on the side, Wang Dagui immediately understood what his father meant, and immediately replied to the words of the blue-robed man: "Villain Wang Dagui, meet the immortals." ”
"Hey, what the junior brother said is not right, in the future, we will all be brothers in the same family, and it will be estranged to call me an immortal. ”
Listening to such a dialogue, Xu Hao really felt sick in his heart, and after recovering most of his injuries, he motioned to Li Shuang to go to the back hall to stay, not to go through this troubled water, Li Shuang understood Xu Hao's meaning, although he was reluctant to leave Xu Hao here, but finally listened to Xu Hao's words and retreated to the back hall.
"It's better like this, Boss Wang, without further ado, I'll take Ling Lang back to the sect, but before that, I still want to ask Boss Wang for a person, I wonder if Boss Wang can agree?" The man in the green robe pointed to Xu Hao, who was standing opposite, waiting for Boss Wang's answer.
Boss Wang glanced at Xu Hao, and didn't know why this kid had angered Shangxian, and sighed in his heart, but his face showed a look of resignation.
"This kid has a wonderful root, it is indeed a good material for cultivating immortals, I want to take him back to the sect to further his studies. Anyone who listens to these words will understand the off-string sound, but no one dares to mention it.
"This is a world where you can only live by strength, otherwise you will only be slaughtered by others, just let it be. Xu Hao thought in his heart, "If you can't do it, you will finish him halfway." ”
"I didn't control the aura in my body just now, if I accidentally hurt my little brother, please Haihan. The man in the green robe turned to Xu Hao and said, but he didn't feel a trace of apology in his words.
Faced with the coy appearance of the man in the green robe, Xu Hao still endured it and hugged his fists back.
After saying goodbye to many friends, Xu Hao had no choice but to go with the man in the green robe.
"It's okay, I knew it would be like this, and I wouldn't have advised you to participate in the selection. ”
Walking on the way, Dagui finally couldn't help but open his mouth to Xu Hao, he felt that all this was because he asked Xu Hao to find the trouble caused by the immortals, and his heart was also complicated at this moment.
Looking at the honest appearance of the little fat man in front of him, Xu Hao's heart warmed again, "It's okay, a little injury is nothing." ”
"Do you see the wooden bridge in front of you, that's the place where we agreed to meet today, and in a while you will be able to see the senior brother in the sect who went to other places to recruit disciples. Walking to a river, the man in the green robe suddenly stopped, turned his head and said to the two, "That bridge is in disrepair, I can only bring one at a time, Senior Brother Wang, you can rest in place for a while, I will send Brother Xu over first and then come to pick you up." ”
When Dagui heard this, he didn't think much about it and nodded yes.
"Hmph, the aura fluctuations I sensed in the morning on this kid surnamed Xu will never be wrong, either this person is an old monster with advanced cultivation, or there is a treasure hidden in his body that can hide his cultivation, it is obvious that this person is not the former, so this time you can't blame me for being ruthless!" Jia Ke pondered in his heart, but on the surface, he looked gentle, and led Xu Hao towards the wooden bridge, but he didn't notice the trace of contempt in Xu Hao's eyes.
