073. 'Little Li Flying Knife'

When the group of knights approached, Li Zhen clearly felt that the old horse under his crotch was a little uneasy.

It seems that I have encountered a kind of hierarchical suppression.

I'm even more curious about Pegasus City's efforts in raising horses.

Shang Nian sat up straight on his horse. When the team of about fifty or sixty people came to his side, he cupped his fists and handed over his hands:

"I've met all of you, senior brothers."

His attitude was very polite, and these inner disciples of the Pegasus Sect were not arrogant. They followed Shang Nian and Li Zhen on their horses and responded:

"Junior Brother Shang."

Very polite and kind, but I just felt like I was being polite.

Obviously there is still some gap between the status of the inner door and the outer door.

When these people saw Li Zhen, who also gave up his hand, they nodded politely, but did not speak to each other.

Li Zhen didn't care and followed the team that started again.

But Shang Nian's words were obviously gone, and his back was as straight as ever.

It seems to be supporting the prestige of Leihumen.

The team walked less than two miles, and Li Zhen saw a "Sui" flag displayed high and a small inn.

After the team arrived at the inn, they stopped moving forward.

Everyone has been traveling all night. The news received from Shang Nian is that the team will be here for half a day to repair. Some water has been prepared in the post station, but because the space is limited, everyone still has to rest outside.

When the team arrived at the inn, the girl with red tassel found Li Zhen:

"Master Shouchu, my young master invites you."

"Well……"

Hearing this, Li Zhen looked at the old horse waiting for fodder to be fed, and shook his head with a smile:

"Householder, I am a poor Taoist who still needs to feed the horses. Please tell the girl to tell the layman Sun that he will not be able to pass."

"..."

Hongying's eyes were a little confused, but she still said:

"Just leave the feeding of the horse to others."

"No, thanks to the kindness of the layman Shang, I think this old horse will be with me for a long time in the future. I am not good at raising horses, so I should take this opportunity to get to know him well."

Li Zhen refused twice in a row. Hongying looked into his eyes and nodded:

"Then I will go and reply to the young master."

"Hard-working layman."

Li Zhen thanked her, but just as the Hongying girl turned around to leave, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Li Zhen and said:

"Taoist Master, my young master did lose his temper last night, and I ask for your forgiveness. It's just that... after so many years, my inability to practice has always been a worry for the young master. Usually in Pegasus City, everyone is still wary of it, but yesterday I heard that the Taoist Master said

It’s something, young master, for a while..."

"Householder."

Hongying was interrupted rudely, and Li Zhen nodded:

"I don't mean to blame Jushi Sun, and I ask Jushi and Jushi Sun not to think too much about it. Speaking of which... I would also like to thank Jushi Sun for his kindness. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to take care of this old horse in the future.

In a few days, I won’t bother Master Sun any more."

He still said it politely.

But this time, Hongying didn't say much, nodded and left.

As soon as she left, Shang Nian came over with a leather bowl.

Inside is a bowl of mutton soup with slices of meat, and dry biscuits soaked in the soup.

"Taoist Master, does Senior Sister Hong have something to do with you?"

"It's alright."

Li Zhen shrugged and took the leather bowl.

On the other side, after hearing Hongying's answer, Sun Boxu was stunned... and then smiled bitterly.

He shook his head and said no more.



It was said that it took half a day to repair, but in fact many people slept last night. This may mean that they are tired, but they may not be able to fall asleep.

After feeding the mules and horses, he guarded the fire in front of him. Next to the crooked fire, there were seven or eight people lying, chatting, or taking a nap while squinting.

Li Zhen was still sitting around with Shang Nian and Shang Chong.

With yesterday's pot of "water", everyone became more familiar with each other.

Chatting by the fire.

They were just talking about the romance of Pegasus City, about whose brothel’s oiran was doing such a good job, it seemed that whose brothel’s oiran was doing such a good job, I heard that whose brothel’s oiran was doing such a good job... Li Zhen was speechless for a while.

Do you think you guys have nothing else on your mind?

While we were chatting, the topic somehow came to Li Zhen.

"Taoist Priest..."

Shang Chong, who had upgraded his title from "Taoist" last night, and seemed to have a lively temperament, asked curiously:

"How did you become a monk? Did you practice Taoism?"

Li Zhen smiled and shook his head:

"Of course not. I don't know how I came out of this world... I just... came out of this world like that."

"Eh~~~~"

Shang Chong's face was full of disbelief, and his mouth was filled with disgust:

"Taoist Priest, we are comrades who drink and fight together, why don't you tell the truth?"

"It's the truth. Why would I lie to you?"

Li Zhen shrugged:

"Perhaps it's because the poor Taoist's life is relatively simple? He practices Taoism every day, and after practicing Taoism, he goes to earn money for food and drink. His life is simple. So he does nothing, so he comes out of the world?... Maybe."

"this……"

Several people looked at each other, and Shang Nian asked curiously:

"The Taoist priest doesn't have a Taoist temple to support him?"

"I am the only one in my Taoist temple, and there is no incense, of course not."

"Then you farm your own land?"

"No, Pindao goes to a wine shop to tell people stories to make a living."

Hearing this, several people were stunned:

"What the hell? What did you say?"

"Books tell people stories."

"..."

"..."

"..."

At this time, several people sitting or lying in front of the fire all looked over.

Shang Chong asked curiously:

“Can you make money by telling people stories?”

"yes."

Seeing Li Zhen nodding, several people became even more curious.

After thinking about it, Shang rushed into his arms and took out a broken piece of silver and handed it to Li Zhen:

"Then Taoist priest, can you tell us a story? How much does it cost?"

Li Zhen took a look at the silver and estimated that he could exchange it for two or three coins.

If it was in the library, he might have collected it.

But he waved his hand:

"Sir Shang Chong, as you just said, we drink together and fight together. I can't ask for this money... Well, now that you have nothing to do, I will tell you a short story to relieve your boredom.

Okay. But... all the laymen will have to change their posts for a while, right?"

"Need not."

Shang Chong was completely interested and waved his hand:

"We have worked hard all day and night. The senior brothers of the Pegasus Sect feel sorry for us... I am saying that my ancestor also said yesterday that all thieves along the way will be decapitated. It will be okay. Taoist priest, please tell us... what story?

?Hey, you can make money by telling stories? This is the first time I heard about it!"

Don't talk about him anymore, this bunch of people nodded when they heard this.

Looking at Li Zhen, he looks like a curious baby.

Li Zhen sat up straight:

"Okay. Let me tell you a little bit about this for laymen... Well, have you ever heard of a strange person in this martial arts world called "Xiao Li Feidao"?"

"...?"

Several people were stunned and looked at each other...

They all shook their heads and said they had never heard of it.

Seeing this, Li Zhen laughed:
Chapter completed!
