Qingniu Town is indeed a run-down town. The total number of households in the town does not exceed two hundred, of which at least 90% are farmers. The gray brick houses look very dilapidated, and only a few shops look slightly complete. There are quite a few shops here, including an inn, a restaurant, a grocery store, a blacksmith shop, a pharmacy, and even an inn.
Naturally, Wu Jie and Tao Tu rushed to the inn first, only to find that there were already many people living in the inn. These people had different origins and identities, and quite a few of them looked like they were either rich or noble. "Are you two guests going to stay at the hotel?" The waiter at the inn is a handsome young man, about the same age as Wu Jie. His smile makes people feel close to each other, "Please leave your names.
No. This way, in case of an official inspection, the store can respond easily."
There is nothing shameful about Wu Jie and Tao Tu's identities, so they will naturally not object.
"Young Master Wu and Mr. Hu are both great Chu people, right?" The waiter in the store listened to the two men's confessions, and quickly wrote them down in neat small characters in the registration book. He held the book in one hand and wrote with the other, but the handwriting was
There is no sloppiness at all, which shows that a lot of effort has been put into this aspect.
"Then... can I ask you two why you are here? Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me, but it would be better if you registered... to seek immortality? You two are also here to seek immortality! You are really in the right place!
Our Qingniu town is most famous for seeking immortality! From ancient times to the present, stories about immortals have been circulating..."
In the next period of time, the talkative waiter kept telling many stories about seeking immortality. In his mouth, it seemed that Qingniu Town was the legendary paradise of cave heaven, and people would practice and become immortals here every now and then. It was almost like
It’s like wholesale.
Wu Jie didn't quite believe what he said, but Tao Tu was stunned for a moment after being deceived.
Just as the waiter was gushing over his words and Tao Tu was nodding his head, several people walked down from the upstairs of the inn, chatting and laughing as they headed out the door.
These people naturally saw Wu Jie, Tao Tu and the waiter at the counter, but almost all of them turned a blind eye to them. Only one person who seemed to be a follower came over and said lightly: "Waiter, our young master likes to be quiet. We usually come and go.
We are all well-educated people, don’t arrange for those idle people to wait on the third floor, got it?”
His voice was not loud and soft, but it was filled with a sense of pride. After saying this, he hurriedly chased out the door without waiting for the waiter's answer. He didn't even look in the direction during the whole process. Probably in the eyes of such people who think they have a noble status, no matter the waiter or Wu Jie or Tao Tu, they are not worth mentioning. Even looking at them a few times would be a loss of status.
The waiter in the shop was very clever. When he saw Tao Tu and Wu Jie's expressions, his expressions immediately darkened, and he quickly explained: "That is the servant of the Wei family, a famous businessman in Yanling County. Because their family is married to the county governor, they are usually a bit arrogant.
——But in fact, people are not bad, they just talk harshly."
Wu Jie was noncommittal, but Tao Tu couldn't help but ask: "Is his family's business very big? How many caravans does he usually have? Does he do foreign business? Is there any tribute from their family when the county pays tribute to the court every year?"
When the village elders’ meeting is held here, which row does the head of the family sit in?"
After these questions were asked, the waiter's face couldn't help but change again and again. Finally, he persuaded with a smile: "Master Tao, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. After all, you are from the Da Chu Kingdom. In this Da Yue Kingdom, with
The locals get into a dispute - so what if they win? The Immortal will not like an apprentice who always competes with others..."
"Then the immortals like them?" Tao Tu refused to give up and continued to ask, "Is it possible that the immortals here also specially recruit neighbors and villagers, regardless of their character and talents?"
"Say less." Seeing the embarrassed look on the waiter's face, Wu Jie said calmly, "We are here to seek immortality, not to fight. The right way is to save our energy and seek immortality. Should we kill the Wei family?"
Can the whole family get immortality?"
His voice was very calm, but there was a murderous aura in his words. Cold sweat broke out on the waiter's forehead when he heard the words, and he did not dare to speak. He hurriedly led them to the second floor, where they lived in the room farthest from the stairs.
Two rooms.
After the two of them entered the room and settled down, the lively and talkative waiter hurriedly left, as if there was a tiger chasing him behind his back.
But he didn't know that as soon as Wu Jie closed the door, he could no longer maintain the cold and strong expression on his face, and burst into laughter in the world of the Book of Heaven.
"Moli, your method is really effective!" He laughed for a long time before stopping, and proudly said to Jasmine, "Pretend to be cool properly, and the effect is first-rate!"
"Of course! This was your signature expression back then. Once you showed this expression, you were ready to kill the whole family or extract souls and refine their souls. At this time, everyone didn't even dare to vent their anger in front of you, they just hated you.
Don’t turn into a piece of dust and quickly fall to the ground out of sight..."
Listening to Jasmine's words which were more sarcastic than compliments, Wu Jie's original smile turned into a bitter smile.
According to Jasmine, this expression is more of a beating than a frightening one. It is just used to scare the weak. If you accidentally show this face in front of a strong person...
So I secretly decided to use this expression less often in the future!
At this time, Jasmine was still praising the God Lord eloquently. The pious demeanor and the sincerity of her words were reminiscent of fanatic believers brainwashed by a cult.
Wu Jie sighed and turned his attention to Du Ruo, who was fighting the puppet Wei Shu.
"How long has she been fighting Wei Shu this time?"
"About three hours, it looks like I'm about to lose." Jasmine knew that Wu Jie didn't like her talking too much about the past Divine Lord, so she obediently changed the topic, "To be honest, whether it's talent in martial arts or hard work,
She is even better than you, master. She mastered the sword intention of Nanhua Water Sword in just over three months. This achievement is considered to be basically qualified even within our sect back then."
Wu Jie nodded and looked at Du Ruo who also used the Nanhua Water Sword. The sword light turned into waves one after another, trying his best to resist Wei Shu's attack like a flash flood. While admiring it, he couldn't help but feel very regretful.
The two of them learned skills from the puppet Wei Shu together, but Wu Jie could only rely on his own martial arts to resist it for a while, but Du Ruo learned the Nanhua Water Sword and even understood the essence of the sword technique.
Mastered her own "Water Sword Intent". With this talent and hard work, if she had not died, even if there were no adventures, sooner or later she would enter Taoism through martial arts and become a grandmaster!
It's a pity that things in the world cannot be "if", and death is death. Although Du Ruo is very capable now, he is just a lonely ghost after all.
When he was studying martial arts in Changning City, he once consulted Chang Qingzi of Tongming Pavilion of Wanshou Temple and learned that there is a so-called "netherworld" in this world. If the soul of the deceased is not protected by special power, it will be sucked into the netherworld within seven days.
Then go to reincarnation through unknown ways.
Without the protection of the Book of Heaven, no matter how powerful Du Ruo is, he will be helplessly dragged to the Netherworld by the power of the underworld, reincarnated and forget everything.
While he was feeling regretful, he was also secretly alert.
The road to seeking immortality will never be smooth sailing. A talent like Du Ruo will be killed just because of a momentary oversight. Even if he has the backing of the Book of Heaven, he must be more careful to avoid being plotted.
As the ancients said, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. The road to immortality is difficult, so you should indeed be more cautious.
"Moli, thank you for reminding me last time." Thinking of this, he whispered to Jasmine, "Although I don't agree with your overly cruel and selfish thoughts, but you found out that the boatman was paying attention to me secretly, so you immediately
Gave me a reminder - that's good, thank you."
Jasmine was stunned by this sudden thank you. When she came to her senses, her little face immediately turned red, and even the slightly bent ears on top of her head turned red. She waved her hands in a panic and spoke incoherently.
Saying words such as "You're welcome" and "This is what I should do", my whole body was already flying with joy beyond imagination.
In the next few minutes, she flew around in the world of the Book of Heaven, giving out various cheers of unknown meaning. It was obvious that she was extremely happy.
This not only made Wu Jie feel very happy, but also made him secretly feel guilty, reflecting on whether he was usually too harsh on Jasmine and whether he was not kind enough or gentle enough.
After all... no matter how long she lives, she is just a little girl.
Thinking of this, he quietly left the Book of Heaven world without interrupting Jasmine's cheers.
After returning to reality, he tidied up his clothes, took some money, and went downstairs to the inn alone without waking up Tao Tuo, who had fallen asleep due to exhaustion from the journey.
Downstairs of the inn is a small restaurant, and the diligent waiter is wiping the tables in the lobby downstairs, humming a tune while wiping, and seems very happy.
"What do you call the second brother? I was in a hurry just now and forgot to ask for advice. Please don't be offended."
"Mr. Wu, you are too polite! My surname is Li, just call me Xiao Li."
Wu Jie raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "The surname is Li? Could it be 'Li Xiaoyao'?"
"Eh? Mr. Wu, how do you know that?" Li Xiaoyao was taken aback and asked doubtfully, "How could such a mean name as a villain reach the ears of a highly capable person like you?"
Wu Jie was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.
"Coincidence, coincidence. I have heard a story before, about a waiter named Li Xiaoyao who aspired to become an immortal. Later, he encountered a chance encounter and practiced the art of flying swords. He traveled around the world and made a career... See the waiter, please bring your luggage.
, I couldn’t help but ask."
"Oh... Then my father has probably heard this story, so he gave me this name." Li Xiaoyao said with a smile, "But I don't have that big ambition. I just want to live in peace and stability for the rest of my life.
Just a few days."
Wu Jie nodded and asked, "Is your father the owner of this inn? Why didn't you see him?"
"My father went to Wu'an County to purchase goods. During this period, there were many more guests. Some rooms that were not used much before had to be cleared out, so he went to buy some new bedding... As an inn, we pay attention to a 'home away from home'.
It is your duty to make your guests’ stay comfortable.”
The two parties were chatting, and suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves outside the door, and then a figure walked in.
"Waiter, stay at the hotel." The man said coldly, "Take care of the horse for me... By the way, ask if anyone is willing to buy a horse for me. I don't need it anymore."
The voice sounded somewhat familiar. Wu Jie turned around and saw that it was indeed the cold-faced swordsman Xie Minghuan he saw on the road. This chapter has been completed!
