Judging from his clothes alone, the middle-aged man in black gave people a very unusual feeling. The owner of the teahouse did not ask the waiter to bring snacks, but brought some snacks himself because he also noticed that this person
Some are not simple, or rather noble.
The reason why the boss made this judgment is actually very simple, because the middle-aged man did not pay for the tea when he ordered it, but used the spirit stone directly. He also claimed that he did not need to give change.
A spiritual stone is equivalent to a million gold coins. Spending a million gold coins to drink a cup of tea and not being allowed to change? Well, this behavior is indeed very similar to the behavior of some nouveau riche, and also very similar to the behavior of some wealthy young men.
The way he pretends to be generous in front of beautiful women and spends a lot of money. But there are no beautiful women around the middle-aged man in black, and he has no friends, so this is obviously not showing off his wealth.
And the boss can clearly feel that this middle-aged man in black is obviously not a nouveau riche. And the reason why he did not pay gold coins, but paid spiritual stones, seems to be just because the middle-aged man in black really does not have gold coins, but only spiritual stones.
...And the reason why he didn't ask for change seemed to be because he just thought it would be a bit troublesome to exchange a spiritual stone for a lot of gold coins, and he was very afraid of trouble.
Use one million gold coins to buy a cup of tea. Then the middle-aged man in black is naturally entitled to enjoy the best treatment in the teahouse, so the boss wants to invite him to the second floor and give him the most quiet and elegant private room. But Hei
The middle-aged man in clothes frowned slightly and rejected the proposal. He didn't go to the second floor, didn't choose any private room, or even chose a more elegant and quiet place in the hall. He chose the one in the hall that no one was willing to choose.
The location closest to the door is also the least clean.
"Could it be that this distinguished guest had something important in mind and was ready to leave at any time, so he chose the most convenient location to leave? But if he had something to do, why did he come to the teahouse again?" the boss secretly guessed and asked.
The sandalwood tray slowly came to the table.
"Baihua cake, very sweet, a specialty of this small shop." The boss chuckled.
The middle-aged man in black didn't say anything, he just nodded gently and asked the boss to put the snacks on the table.
In the short time we spent together, the boss seemed to have gotten used to the silence and indifference of the man in black, so he gently put down the sandalwood tray. At the same time, he noticed the tea on the table, but the middle-aged man in black did not drink it.
And it was already a little cold. On the other side of the table, there was a knife that was all black and as silent as a middle-aged man.
As a teahouse owner who is used to seeing people coming and going, he is a person who is very good at observing people's emotions. In other words, in decades of life, observing people's emotions has become his instinct and his pleasure.
So the boss naturally began to continue to speculate: "He carries a knife, so he is naturally a warrior. Judging from his extraordinary bearing and extraordinary attacks, he must be a strong master. And he looks relatively unfamiliar. He is obviously not a regular visitor, and there are even some
Maybe he's not from the royal city. He didn't take a sip of the tea, so he probably won't eat these snacks. So the purpose of his coming here is naturally not to drink tea or eat snacks. So, he is waiting for someone?"
A master who didn't look like someone from the royal city came from afar and was waiting for someone here. The boss naturally thought of the wonderful talks in the legend about those practitioners who traveled thousands of miles to meet their friends... But he soon realized that it seemed that something was not going to happen.
So simple.
"He only ordered one cup of tea and one snack, and sat in the most convenient position to leave the teahouse. How could he be waiting for someone?" The boss frowned quietly, feeling that his speculation had reached an impasse.
But at this moment, a man wearing shabby cloth and greasy clothes, who looked like an old beggar, suddenly stepped into the door of the tea house.
The teahouse owner's brows suddenly furrowed even more tightly. When he was thinking about things just now, he had already seen the beggar. Moreover, he saw that the beggar had clearly passed through the door of the teahouse, but he stepped back abruptly, and then stepped on
After entering the door, he stared at the middle-aged man in black with sharp eyes.
A very simple detail has confirmed to the boss that this beggar must not be a friend of the middle-aged man in black. At least the beggar does not know that the middle-aged man in black is here. Therefore, this beggar cannot be the middle-aged man in black.
People who have to wait. And the reason why the beggar's eyes are so sharp must be because this beggar's eyes are also quite vicious. He can tell at a glance that the middle-aged man in black is very rich and very generous.
Thinking of the middle-aged man in black throwing it casually, it would be as generous as a spiritual stone. Even the boss himself had to admit that in terms of vision, beggars with more difficult lives may be more accurate than him.
But after all, he was the owner of the teahouse, and the middle-aged man in black was his distinguished guest, so of course he couldn't let the beggar disturb his guests, so of course he stood in front of the beggar and wanted to scold him.
"Let him come in." The middle-aged man in black who had been silent suddenly said.
The teahouse owner had a strange look on his face, as if he didn't understand what the middle-aged man in black was doing. But while he was stunned, the beggar had already sat down on the chair facing the middle-aged man in black in a very unceremonious manner.
Seeing the chair lined with fine fox fur with a greasy and smelly beggar sitting on it, the boss couldn't help but feel distressed for a while, but when he thought of the spiritual stone belonging to the middle-aged man in black, he still didn't think about it after all.
The beggars drove away. But he had secretly decided not to give them any more snacks or tea. At least the middle-aged man in black didn't ask for it, so there was no need for him to do that.
thoughtful.
The boss walked away slowly, determined not to care about this matter anymore. However, there were murmurings in the tea garden, and then there were bursts of whispers, as if they were extremely dissatisfied that such an elegant and noble place actually came.
beggar.
After a long time, when they confirmed that the beggar was far enough away from them and there was no strange smell coming from them, the voices of dissatisfaction gradually became quieter. At the same time, they began to continue talking in low voices about the things they were interested in, such as the situation.
The fact that Leader Qin of the Dan Alliance has reached the top of the list... This
But the only person on the list who has achieved great success is naturally a topic of concern to them, and it also makes them feel a little proud. But behind the pride, of course, there are also some worries. For example, they have also heard that there are at least six Nirvana people.
The master of the realm made a speech, saying that he would forcefully break into Wolong Mountain and force the leader of Qin to give an explanation...
Everyone was talking about their own things, but the beggar had already grabbed the pastry on the sandalwood tray with his dirty hands and started eating it without ceremony.
The middle-aged man in black looked silently and said nothing.
The beggar ate and drank without saying a word.
None of them seemed to be speaking, but they were all speaking at the same time. They were speaking in a way that ordinary people could not understand, and they were speaking in the way of Nirvana's sound transmission into the secret.
"I never expected that the owner of Youquan Villa would arrive here so quickly," said the old beggar.
"You, a never-born guy hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, can come, why can't I come?" said the middle-aged man in black.
If you don't leave the world, you naturally don't get involved in the world. If you shut yourself up in the mountains and don't care about the affairs of the world, you naturally don't leave the world. Wandering in the poor mountains and rivers, but don't want to appear in the eyes of the world, naturally you don't leave the world.
They are all powerful people in the Nirvana realm. They just want to escape from the mortal world and become holy, so they don't want to be born!
"Since you are already here, you must be here because of that incident and to win the top spot. But I am very curious, why don't you go to that place and insist on sitting here?" The old beggar smiled slightly, and his smile looked a little a little bit.
Weird.
"You also came here for that matter, so why didn't you go to that place and why did you do it here with me?" The owner of the village did not smile, and looked a little serious.
Neither of them said what they were going for or where they were going, but they already knew each other's thoughts.
"Feng Yun list, Fengyun list, the peaceful northwest is just thrown into confusion by a false name on the list." The old beggar suddenly sighed.
"The Second Sage wants to recruit talents, so the names on the list are not empty names." Master You said.
The old beggar picked up another piece of pastry and said, "But the Second Sage has never recognized the validity of the Popularity List, and has never said that the candidates for the list of talents will be selected from the Popularity List."
Master Youzhuang said: "But after all, the list of celebrities appeared suddenly after the news about recruiting talents spread. No one can say with certainty that the list of celebrities really has nothing to do with recruiting talents."
The old beggar was silent for a moment, then looked up at the sky covered by the roof of the teahouse and said: "Yes, no one can really see through it, let alone guess the true thoughts of the Second Saint. Therefore, after the appearance of the Billboard, the hidden world cannot be revealed.
Mr. Fei walked out of the mountain, broke into the Tianluo Sect with a single sword, and won the third place on the ranking list, and then Mr. Liu also came out of the mountain, and the unborn saint of the Rakshasa Sect also walked out of the mountain gate..."
"Even if the Ranking of Fame is only related to recruiting talents, it is already worth fighting for." You Zhuangzhu said: "And compared with Mr. Fei, Mr. Liu, and the saints of the Rakshasa Sect, or the top disciples of the Guiyuan Sect,
I am a very poor man after all, so I have to come here."
The owner of the dignified Youquan Villa, who throws away spiritual stones worth millions of gold coins just for a cup of tea without having to give change, actually says that he is very poor? If this matter were known to the world, they would probably laugh.
Losing big teeth?
But the old beggar didn't smile, because he knew very well that the poverty that Master You mentioned was not the kind of poverty that the world recognized. It was talent, strength, and ranking on the Billboard...
"I'm not as poor as you." The old beggar was very helpless and even said with some envy and hatred: "Like a sword in the sky, Liu Yu, Hong, those guys have already cultivated to the eighth level of Nirvana or above at a young age, and even
Because their understanding is high enough, they have seen the hurdle in advance, and even half of their legs have crossed the hurdle, almost becoming a semi-saint. It will not be difficult for them to become a saint in the future."
Speaking of this, the old beggar's hatred, or jealousy, suddenly became more intense: "And it is not difficult for them to become saints! Why bother with those of us who have practiced hard for nearly a hundred years and barely climbed to the realm of Nirvana?
, compete for a ranking on the Billboard! Why compete with us for those places of talents!"
The owner of Youzhuang remained calm and said in a deep voice: "Rich people will never dislike themselves for being too rich. Although they are all top geniuses, and all of them have a high possibility of becoming saints, they have not become saints in the end. And
As long as they have not become saints, they naturally want to increase the possibility of becoming saints, so they take the matter of recruiting talents, contacting saints, and even becoming disciples of saints equally seriously."
Speaking of this, Master Youzhuang smiled bitterly and said: "So, they will definitely compete with us for the ranking on the Billboard and for the opportunity to be watched by the saints. But on the surface, we can't compete with them, so we can only think of other things."
method. Moreover, my ranking has almost disappeared among the one hundred places."
If you are about to disappear within a hundred places, you will naturally disappear on the ranking list, and you will soon disappear under the gaze of the saint! As for the other way, naturally you will kill Wolong Mountain!
Because there is a young man named Qin Feng in Wolong Mountain! A lot of information is enough to prove that that young man cannot be too strong, but that young man is the number one on the list! So who can defeat him or kill him?
Whoever is first!
Defeat the number one on the Billboard and become the number one! Then you can find a place in the deep mountains and old forests and hide for a while, then you can maintain the number one spot for a long time! If you are lucky after all, if the ranking on the Billboard has ended
, if the saint is ready to really start recruiting talents, or even select disciples! Then the person who is number one on the list will naturally be the most likely to be selected!
This is the reason why Master Youzhuang came to the Royal City! It is also the reason why this unknown old beggar came to the Royal City! At the same time, this is also the reason why many strong men are quietly coming to the Daqian Royal City!
