Cangzhou City is located in the southwest border of China and Turkey a city, the scale is not large, but the advantage is in the convenient transportation, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, antique, there are both the grace of the southern town of smoke and rain, and there is the majestic entrenched style of the western city, for the majority of business and tourists like, over time, it has become a famous important city in Middle Earth.

Zhang Banxian and his granddaughter Mingruo rushed overnight, and arrived outside Cangzhou before the city gate was closed, and the grandfather and grandson looked into the city from outside the city gate.

At this time, it was the dead of night, an old man and a young man entered the city, but saw that there were few pedestrians on the street, and many shops in the city were closed.

Zhang Banxian and Ming Ruo walked along the street for a long time, paying attention to the environment around them, but they didn't see the shadow of an inn, and occasionally there were idlers who had not yet rested, poking their heads out of the windows on the balcony, with curious eyes, looking at the strange combination of the old and the young plus a big dog.

The bleak evening breeze blew from the empty wilderness outside the city, with countless cold raindrops, swept over the city walls full of traces of time, blowing on the two of them, although March is the beginning of spring, but the remnants of winter have not completely passed, especially in the middle of the night rain at night, it is still very cold, Zhang Banxian was blown by the wind, trembling all over, suddenly sneezed, a snot almost hung on the old face.

Seeing this, Ming Ruo hurriedly put his little hand on his grandfather's back, patted it lightly, looked up again, frowned, and said, "Grandpa, didn't you say that you have been here before, why can't you even find an inn." ”

Zhang Banxian's face turned red, and he said: "The last time grandpa came here, it was more than 20 years ago, who would have thought that the changes in Cangzhou would be so big, even grandpa didn't know the road for a while." ”

Ming Ruo was dumbfounded for a while, and said with a wry smile: "If we knew this, we might as well stay in Luoyang." ”

Zhang Banxian snorted and said, "You also said, if you didn't have to go to Fanyin Temple to see that stinky boy, how could we be trapped on Luofu Mountain by the demon tide, fortunately, we would have been eaten by those monsters...... Well, it's not that grandpa didn't want to stay in Luoyang, but now it's time to retire, and this great immortal will naturally not covet those earthly fame. ”

Zhang Daxian said in the end, stroked his beard and sighed, justice was awe-inspiring, if it weren't for the cold red nose and the long snots that swayed in the wind, it was really a fairy wind bone, and the vicissitudes of righteousness.

When the girl heard his words, her face turned red at first, but in the end, she almost didn't get to the ground, rolled her eyes, and said angrily: "It's a big detour, it's not because there are Xuanmen monks everywhere in Luoyang now, where is there a place for us to mix." ”

Zhang Banxian was choked by her words, glared at her, and said, "If it weren't for the entanglement that you had accumulated with great difficulty, this dead girl would have sent her kindness to those victims along the road, and grandpa would have been so old that he would run around!"

Seeing his grandfather's angry appearance, Ming Ruo stuck out his tongue and pouted, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, don't be angry, let's find an inn first." ”

Zhang Banxian glanced at Mingruo and ignored her, but after a while, he couldn't help but be proud, "Fortunately, the old man has already calculated that he is today, and he has made a lot of good fortunes when he came here, and his grandfather remembers that there is a time-honored inn that has been open for hundreds of years in front of him, and he must not have relocated. ”

With that, he raised his eyes and looked around, his eyes fell to a place at the end of the street where the lights could be seen, and his face was happy.

But when the two of them walked to the brightly lit place, they looked up at the five or six stories high building in front of them, but they couldn't help but be stunned for a while, the girl looked at the direction of the gate with the wide atmosphere, the eaves carved with Rui beasts, and a string of red lanterns hanging below, and quietly pulled the sleeves of the half-immortal, and said, "Grandpa, are you sure it's here?"

Zhang Banxian swallowed his saliva, looked at the huge plaque, and said uncertainly: "Yanyu Tower...... The name is correct, it should be here, right?"

Ming Ruo gasped and said, "This place, can we enter the rest of the plate?"

Zhang Banxian listened to his granddaughter's unconfident words, his face suddenly couldn't hold back, he was angry, and said: "Is there a place in this world where this immortal can't enter, you can watch!" After that, he wiped his sleeves on his face a few times, and regardless of the dry stare of the girl on the side, he strode into the inn.

"Grandpa, wait for me......" Mingruo hurriedly chased after her, and the big black dog behind him also shook his body and followed behind her.

As soon as Zhang Banxian walked into the inn, he saw a middle-aged shopkeeper standing at the counter in the corner of the house writing and scratching, fiddling with the abacus, as if settling accounts, and several junior two inside, who also had a pair and a pair of people leaning against the wall and the empty table without people, drowsy, it seemed that they didn't expect that in the dead of night, there would be business to take care of.

Zhang Daxian coughed, walked in the direction of the shopkeeper, a shopkeeper heard the movement by the door, suddenly woke up, looked back, but saw a little ragged, and was wet by the rain looked very embarrassed old man, holding a broken pretense in his hand, walked over violently, Rao is the shopkeeper Xiao Erping has always seen the guests of the world, and couldn't help but stay for a moment, and then saw the direction of the old man's way, only to react, his face changed slightly, and he went up, blocking the old man's way, and said with a smile: " I don't know what this old man is doing?"

The shopkeeper said cautiously, but muttered in his heart, this old man shouldn't be here to ask for food, right?

Zhang Banxian was stopped by this guy, he didn't like it in his heart, glared at him, and said angrily: "Naturally, come to stay, otherwise what else can you do, you first prepare a table of good wine and food for the old man, and there are two upper rooms, by the way, I want to see your shopkeeper, you still don't let the old man go." ”

The shopkeeper listened to the old man's unkind tone, and scolded a few words in his heart, but in the inn business, there is a way of customer first, and he has already refined a cheeky skin and a pair of vicious eyes, he looked back at the shopkeeper who was burying his head in the distance, and then looked at the old man in front of him who didn't look like a big family, hesitated for a moment, and said: "That, guest officer, the inn naturally has it, but in terms of wine and food, the chef is asleep at this time, do you see if it's ......?"

Zhang Banxian had been on the road for a long time, and he was already so hungry that his chest was close to his belly, and when he heard the words of this little er, he immediately waved his hand impatiently and said: "Wake them up when you sleep, you go and prepare." ”

The shopkeeper scolded a few words in his heart, who didn't know that the cook Niu Boss was short-tempered, and the third watch woke him up in the middle of the night to go to Zhang Luo for wine and food, wasn't it begging for a beating, but this year, being rich is the uncle, and he can't be easily offended, he glanced at Zhang Banxian, and said with a smile on his face: "Old man, that, shouldn't we settle the money first, our shopkeeper is settling the accounts......"

I didn't expect Zhang Banxian to hear what he said, a trace of panic appeared on his face, but then he was furious, and the bamboo pole slammed to the ground, and said angrily: "Where is there so much nonsense, you kid who doesn't know the height of the sky, are you suspecting that this immortal has no money to pay the bill!"

What a clever character the shopkeeper is, he caught Lao Dao's unconfident expression, and immediately sneered, and said: "Immortal, you are an immortal, I am still a Shushan Sword Immortal, old man, if you don't have money, just say it, don't take a pretense here to pretend to be a ghost, our owner is a well-known good man in the city, and he can help you." ”

Zhang Banxian was angry for a while, thinking that he had traveled all over the country, when did Zhang Daxian suffer such ridicule, he had been trekking through mountains and rivers for days, and it rained heavily, and he was angry with the dead dog, he was originally angry, and he saw that the shopkeeper regarded him as a poor person, and he almost didn't take out a piece of paper to seal the annoying face, and then a few little ghosts threw the guy in front of him out of sight.

Seeing the old man's white beard, rolling up his sleeves and looking around, looking for a guy in the market, the shopkeeper was startled, took a few steps back, and stumbled: "You, what are you going to do, I tell you not to mess around......" Saying that, he hurriedly called a few times, and the rest of the shopkeepers saw that there was someone making trouble here, and immediately ran over, this little second brother saw that there were many people, and he had confidence in his heart, and he crossed his hands on his waist, and was about to say something awe-inspiring, but at this moment, he saw a delicate figure running in outside the door, panting and pulling the sleeves of the old skin.

The shopkeeper looked at it, but they were all stunned, the person who ran in, with a beautiful face and bright eyes, was actually a young and beautiful girl.

As soon as the girl saw everyone's posture, she didn't know the reason for the quarrel in her heart, but she didn't want to make trouble, and besides, it was her own fault first, so she smiled bitterly, pulled the sleeve of the old man's shirt, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, forget it, let's change to another inn, don't quarrel with them." ”

Zhang Banxian's eyes widened, his white beard flew up, and he said angrily: "No, I'm angry with the old man, this guy looks down on people, and this immortal has to fight for this breath today." ”

Ming Ruo frowned, there was no way to take grandpa, so she had to find a way to deal with the matter in front of her first, she had been running all over the country with Zhang Banxian since she was a child, and she was familiar with such people's sophistication, and at the moment her eyes rolled, she smiled slightly at a few shopkeepers, and said: "A few big brothers, my grandfather and I have been on the road for many days, when we first arrived in your place, we are not familiar with the road of life, and it rains heavily, and I didn't find the inn for a while, this is not cold and hungry, grandpa is also in a hurry to talk nonsense, and I hope that a few big brothers will forgive me." ”

When Zhang Banxian heard this, he was about to jump up, but Ming Ruozao's grandfather had a temperament and held his hand tightly, so that this Zhang Immortal did not have a seizure on the spot.
