Zhu Dali, as the chief showman of the Lao Yuan Tavern, had followed Lao Xi Yuan in his fight from the street to the end of the street. He was quite capable of fighting.
That is to say, Yuan Laoxi's strength has declined, and his power has also declined, so he has no chance to fight and can only gain weight in this tavern.
Chai Asi's sword attack just now really shocked him!
Too fast, too cruel, just rushing to take his life.
Is this still the same Chai Asi?
Chai Ah Si who was slapped several times by a drunkard and didn't dare to fight back?
At this moment, Chai Asi was following closely behind him, with the broken sword still pressed against his waist! Zhu Dali did not dare to look back, but still raised his hands high, leading the way: "Brother Chai, is there any misunderstanding between us?
?Why don't I buy you a drink? If you have anything to do, sit down and talk slowly. You are still young and have a bright future. Don't easily provoke Moyun City's laws!"
Chai Asi's mind at this moment was filled with what he saw at a glance... Yuan Xiaoqing's deep ravine and bright red lips.
I didn't even hear what Zhu Dali was saying.
And this silence undoubtedly increased the intimidation of the iron sword.
The pig tightened its grip on the fat and moved forward in a manner that would not cause misunderstanding.
In the mirror world, the ancient god surnamed Jiang is holding the Six Desires Bodhisattva with one hand and grasping the wrong path with the other. He is observing the environment with all his concentration and trying his best to help Chai Asi complete his first key performance.
The emotional fluctuations from this dog demon that he felt through the Bodhisattva of Six Desires left him speechless.
The great god is half dead from exhaustion, and the ignorant little demon is wandering in the sky.
Even before this life-and-death crisis has passed, the world has become obsessed with people.
With this virtue, do you still want to be the protagonist?
The great ancient god doubted his choice very much!
But so far, he has only silently controlled the Six Desires Bodhisattva, slightly affecting Chai Asi's sense of danger...
Chai Asi, who barely maintained his master's posture, suddenly shuddered and suddenly realized what kind of environment he was in. The charming fantasies in his mind disappeared and he became alert again.
Looking at the entire Flower Street, Lao Yuan Tavern can only be considered medium in size, but it has a long history and a great reputation.
However, in recent years, the business has continued to decline. It is obvious that with the loss of the profit margin of the regular fees collected by the Huaguo Association, the business of this tavern still has a large range of decline.
Walking through the lobby where drinkers were scattered here and there, and passing through the long corridor composed of jars of old wine, with the aroma of wine and smoke filling the air, I opened an iron door and saw the downward-stretching
Stone steps.
Although Chai Asi's skills were not high, he had the ancient mirror in his arms and was as courageous as a dog, so he followed Pig Dali down the stairs without making a sound.
The underground steps are not very deep. After turning twice, you can already see the end of the stone steps - a platform with extended stone slabs, ending at a paper door.
This is a paper door depicting strange ghost patterns.
White background with red shadows.
The naked, sinister monster with gnarled muscles twists in the blazing flames, giving it a strange beauty.
Every time Chai Asi came to Lao Yuan Tavern, he would pay his dues, drink the worst wine, and sit in the corner.
I have never been to this place, and I have only seen Yuan Laoxi from a distance.
He originally thought that the basement of the Old Ape Tavern was a place where wine was stored.
At this moment, I just felt that the atmosphere suddenly became...
Yuan Laoxi has style!
What he didn't know was that at the same time he saw this demonic pattern, the great ancient god in the mirror world suddenly opened his red-gold eyes!
A certain narrow Shinto space suddenly opened up without the knowledge of Chai Asi, Yuan Laoxi, and Zhu Dali!
This is a dark, square room, like a prison cell.
To say it is a Shinto space is really a bit of an exaggeration, but after all, "gods" exist.
Deep in the room, a pair of blood-red eyes opened.
The breath of terror became vivid.
Then the chains shook, and his hair spread out, and His ugly and ferocious face became clear, revealing green fangs, brown body spots, and strange blood lines.
There is actually a demon living in this quiet room, attached to the paper door!
Shinto is prevalent in the world of Hell.
Using ghosts to cultivate gods is a very common path.
But there are thousands of ways to go along the way of ghosts and gods. Accumulating faith is the right way, greed for blood and food is the evil way. Impeding luck and harming life is the evil way, and compassion for all living beings is the right way. Incense is the great way, and blood sacrifice is the wrong way.
Of course, there are also people like Zhang Linchuan who take the right path of accumulating faith, but use evil methods that seek quick success and harm their luck.
And this demon in front of me is the reason why Yuan Laoxi can still linger in the position of the master of Huaguoxiang, and the reason why he is getting weaker and weaker!
The blood lines on that ugly ghost's face were stained by how much blood he had eaten!
"Despicable..."
This monster showed its power in the Shinto space. He suddenly broke free from the chains, and his figure quickly swelled. There were stinky blood bags on the terrifying muscles...
Bang!
A huge, colorful Buddha palm pressed down, directly pressing the vicious demon ghost into a pool of blood on the ground.
A mere inner-level Mao Shen is vulnerable to the great Chi Yun Mountain God. What's more, he is in this soul battlefield.
The ancient god surnamed Jiang manifested his soul body, standing in this square Shinto prison cell, holding a ball of blood-colored soul power in his palm, and roasting it carefully with the true fire of Samadhi——
Once the impurities are burned away, it can be taken as a tonic to replenish the soul.
The efficiency of regulating the soul is faster than asking Chai Asi to take the leader of some martial arts club.
The great ancient god looked around, thoughtful for a moment...
Everything that happens in the Shinto space, these monsters in the outside world are completely unaware of.
Zhu Dali walked to the paper door with strange patterns and seemed to be less scared. He still raised his hands and slowly turned around: "Fifth Master is inside."
Chai Asi remembered the teachings of the ancient god and raised his chin coldly, motioning to the minion in front of him to open the door.
The paper door receded to both sides, and the pattern of the ferocious demon was separated from the middle.
So you can see this quite empty quiet room behind the paper door.
There is a rickety figure in the quiet room, wearing a gray Taoist uniform, facing the wall and back to the door, sitting quietly.
Of course he is Yuan Laoxi, the curator of Lao Yuan Tavern and the most senior incense owner at Water Curtain Hall of Flower and Fruit Club.
On the wall in front of him, there was a large picture hanging.
The word "through axis" shows the beauty of the gods and bones. It should be the handiwork of a famous artist.
What is written is "quiet".
Everything here is indeed very quiet, so quiet that it makes the new little demon feel a little uneasy.
Under the word "quiet", there is a wooden knife stand against the wall, with a long knife on it.
Yuan Laoxi was sitting with his sword in front of him.
He didn't look back and just asked: "I heard that you want to see me for something?"
Chai Ah had killed Yuan Yong four times, so of course he shouldn't be afraid of Yuan Laoxi, who was already recognized as being unable to defeat Yuan Yong. But he still felt inexplicably nervous in his heart.
"About the money." He puffed up his throat and said.
"Dali, give him sixteen five-baht coins." Yuan Laoxi said calmly: "If he can walk into this place on his own, he is worthy of double the money."
"No, Fifth Master, I'm talking about the regular money of the entire Flower Street, and even the entire Flower and Fruit Society." Chai Asi said.
There was silence in the room for a while, then Yuan Laoxi said: "Dali, you go up first."
Zhu Dali didn't say a word, turned around and walked up.
After the sound of his footsteps disappeared, Yuan Laoxi said, "Tell me about it."
At this time, Chai Asi was standing outside the door, and Yuan Laoxi was sitting in the room.
The empty quiet room itself is the distance between them.
Before getting the ancient divine mirror, Chai Asi never imagined that he could cross such a distance.
But now, he knows very well that he just needs to take one step forward.
And this is not his end.
He adjusted his mood and said angrily: "Yuan Yong led his men to extort money from house to house. I have already paid you the money once, and he has to collect it again. Extorting money is not enough, he also insults
Me, beat me, smashed my home to pieces, and even...even smashed my grandfather's memorial tablet!"
"So, you came here today to complain to me?" Yuan Laoxi still didn't look back, only laughed lowly: "Or, do you want to stand up and testify and let me take you to the meeting with the judge?
In front of me, will you be given the opportunity to accuse Yuan Yong?"
"I killed him." Chai Asi said.
The room fell silent.
Yuan Laoxi stood up slowly.
His already rickety figure gradually stretched as he stood up.
He started very slowly, but when he stood up completely, he was as fast as lightning. When he turned around, the long knife on the knife holder was already unsheathed. With a clang and a flash of cold light, he even had the knife on him and spanned the entire distance.
A quiet room is already in front of you!
Chai Asi only took three steps forward.
Of course, these are three steps under the guidance of the ancient gods.
Just stepping on the relay point of this sword, a simple sideways movement, the rusty iron bar sword was just across the front of the abdomen.
The blade almost hit the tip of his nose and cut him in the air!
Yuan Laoxi had two very conspicuous white eyebrows. When he jumped to strike, they were raised in the air, giving him an even more ferocious appearance. At this moment, he suddenly took a step back and stopped, and the white eyebrows also dropped to the corners of his eyes, making him become
mercy.
He flicked his backhand, and the long knife was already back in its sheath, still silent on the knife holder. It was as if nothing had happened.
"Fifth Master, aren't you going to try?" Chai Asi retracted his horizontal iron sword and said calmly.
Yuan Laoxi raised his eyelids: "I'm afraid of young people being strong with fists. If I try again, I'm afraid of being beaten to death by you."
Then he said: "Come in and sit down."
Of course, these words sounded self-effacing and self-deprecating, but in fact they were quite true. He knew his current physical condition, and he had been devoured too hard by the demons, which meant that every blow was missing.
Unless he was possessed by a demon, he really had no chance of killing this young dog demon. And the price of rashly borrowing the power of a demon was something he was not willing to bear...
This quiet room is quite spacious. On the left side of the quiet room, against the wall and not visible from outside the door, there is a low table with a tea set on it.
Two futons serve as seats.
Yuan Laoxi led Chai Asi to sit down, and then poured him tea himself. Although his hands were wrinkled, they were very steady: "I'm curious, where did you learn your sword skills?"
Chai Asi was sitting upright. Although he was in rags, he was brave enough to fight off the power of Yuan Laoxi with the Killing Ape. He had the aura of a strong man like Yuan Tingyue Zhi: "Is this important?"
"You don't have to say it." Yuan Laoxi said with a smile: "This question is just to satisfy the old man's curiosity and improve his understanding of his partners."
"If you put it this way, I have to let it slip..." Chai Asi seemed to have made a lot of determination and said in a deep voice: "This is actually my family's swordsmanship."
That's my grandpa, the ancient god.
Isn’t it a family tradition?
Yuan Laoxi thought thoughtfully: "You have such strength, how could you endure it for so many years?"
"I have a low-key character." Chai Asi said seriously: "If Yuan Yong hadn't destroyed my grandfather's spiritual throne, I would have endured it for many more years..."
Yuan Laoxi looked at him calmly, neither saying he believed it nor saying he didn't believe it.
Chai Asi then sighed and said, "My grandfather was hit and killed by the Moyun Dog family's carriage."
He only said this sentence and stopped, leaving Yuan Laoxi to guess the rest.
Yuan Laoxi really seemed to understand something and solemnly promised: "I will keep this secret."
"It doesn't matter whether I'm conservative or not. After all, so many years have passed and no one in the Moyun Dog family will take me to heart. I don't dare to hate them, right?" Chai Asi said: "But it's better for Fifth Master not to do it.
Talk outside and avoid trouble."
"Yes, yes." Yuan Laoxi said in the tone of an experienced person: "No enmity, no grudges, no disasters, no calamities, nothing happens."
"So." He sighed, put his hands on his knees, and looked at Chai Asi: "I was once as young as you, but today, I have become this old... What do you want when you come here to find me?"
Chai Asi said: "I don't want to be an enemy of the Flower and Fruit Society, so I want to join the Flower and Fruit Society. I can do anything that Yuan Yong can do for the Flower and Fruit Society. I can also do what Yuan Yong can't do for the Flower and Fruit Society."
I want to sit in... Yuan Yong's position."
Yuan Laoxi raised his eyelids: "If I heard correctly, you are saying... you will become the incense owner after killing Hua Guo, so as compensation, you will come to make up for the incense owner?"
"You can basically understand it this way." Chai Asi said calmly.
"It's normal for a young demon to be ambitious." Yuan Laoxi smiled: "But why did you come to me? I'm such a bad old man."
Chai Asi said seriously: "The boss of the Huaguo Club, I only know the Fifth Master. Your reputation has been here for so many years. I know that the Fifth Master is a kind person, and I also believe in the Fifth Master's abilities."
"So." Yuan Laoxi looked at him: "What can I get?"
"I've said it from the beginning. From now on, you will be responsible for collecting the entire Huajie payment. Unlike Yuan Yong, I will never rob you."
Chai Asi raised one finger, and then another: "Secondly, from now on, if you point to the east to hit the east, point to the west to hit the west, if you want to be the leader of the Water Curtain Hall, or even the leader of the Flower and Fruit Club, I will do my best.
Support you."
He continued to raise a third finger: "Third..."
"That's it." Yuan Laoxi raised his hand and pressed his third finger: "I am old and have a small appetite. Two o'clock is enough."
This answer showed Yuan Laoxi's wisdom and was beyond Chai Asi's expectation.
"You're not going to hear what the third point is?"
Yuan Laoxi shook his head: "No. With my eyes, I can't go wrong when seeing monsters. You are not a thing in the pool. Let's leave this third condition as a matter of affection. One day, you will soar into the sky, and you will still remember it."
This bad old man like me is already very good."
These words touched Chai Asi's heart, but he tried hard to stay calm.
With the posture of a strong man, he said sincerely: "I don't know how high I can go in the future, but Master Wu, I will never forget who paved the first step for me."
Yuan Laoxi smiled slightly: "Go back first. I have one night to clear the relationship. Come to me tomorrow morning and I will take you to see the president."
Chai Asi took out twenty five-baht imperial coins from his arms and placed them neatly on the table: "These are all my belongings. I know it will not be enough to smoothen the relationship, but I still ask you to accept them."
Yuan Laoxi gently pushed the money back and said slowly: "Put it away. As the new incense master of the Water Curtain Hall of the Flower and Fruit Club, there are many places where you need to use your money."
How should I put it, this feeling is like the rise of a generation of heroes...
Chai Asi had already seen the bloody turmoil in the future in a trance, and saw that the entire Tianxihuang had changed because of him. His eyes became much more sincere, and he imitated the tone of the great ancient god, and said slowly: "Fifth Master, I think that between us
