The person who blocked Zi Chen was a strong man. His thick arms looked strong and powerful. After blocking Zi Chen, he said coldly: "This place is full. Come back next time."
The strong man was blocking the way, which made Zi Chen unable to determine whether he was from the tavern or from other forces. However, he had already taken a step into the tavern and could see some things in the tavern.
Just like the entire wooden tavern, the tables and stools here are all made of wood, and they are made of a dark substance. The wooden tables and wooden stools exude an oily light, which makes Zi Chen unsure whether the other party is a special substance or something. Oil stains accumulated over many years.
The wooden tables in the tavern are arranged in two rows. Zi Chen can only see four in one row. Thinking that there should be eight wooden tables here, although he doesn't know if there are any vacancies in places out of sight, but Zi Chen's sight alone can As far as I could see, there were two unoccupied tables.
On the other two tables, two young men were sitting respectively. With just a glance, Zi Chen found that the place was not as crowded as he had imagined, and was even very relaxed, so Zi Chen made a move to step forward.
The strong man's arms were strong, with bulging veins, and he blocked Zi Chen vigorously. His previously cold voice became even colder, and he shouted: "We are full."
"I've seen an empty seat." Zi Chen, who had just arrived, said calmly because he didn't want to cause trouble.
"We have reserved the venue, do you understand that we have reserved the venue?" the strong man shouted at Zi Chen with a loud voice.
"Whether it's reserved, I'm here to buy information." Zi Chen spoke again.
"Come back tomorrow." The strong man blocked the front and said very rudely.
When such a scene happened, I thought someone in the tavern should pay attention to this place, but no one, not even the two young men sitting alone, glanced at Zi Chen. They were all looking at the wine in the glass, as if this thing was more beautiful than the excitement.
"San'er, don't talk nonsense to him, just give him a drop of Yuan liquid." At this moment, a voice sounded from the tavern.
This came from a place beyond Zi Chen's sight. His voice was indifferent and he sounded very young. He must have been a young man.
The strong man named San'er nodded, then a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a drop of lower grade Yuan liquid appeared.
Taking out the low-grade Yuan liquid, the strong man threw it at Zi Chen impatiently and said coldly: "Here you go, take it and get out."
The low-grade Yuan Liquid flew directly towards Zi Chen's cheek, like a bolt of lightning, and because it was so close, almost no one could avoid it.
But Zi Chen managed to avoid it. In fact, he didn't hide either. When Yuan Ye arrived, he stretched out his finger and flicked forward.
The low-grade Yuan Liquid that had just flown in a straight line was flying back in a diagonal line the next moment. Since the strong man was taller than Zi Chen, the low-grade Yuan Liquid flew upward diagonally and went straight towards the strong man's face.
Being able to fight back at such a close distance, a flash of light flashed in the strong man's eyes, and then his fists danced and crossed in front of him. One fist hit the low-grade Yuan Ye, and the other hit Zi Chen's face.
"Snapped."
With a crisp sound, the low-grade Yuan liquid exploded. The place where the low-grade Yuan liquid exploded was not the strong man's fist, but his cheek.
Like water droplets shattering, the exploding low-grade Yuan liquid splashed into the strong man's face. Then, at the moment when the strong man hit him with another punch, a huge force emerged from the splashed Yuan liquid, and this huge force directly He took the big man and flew out upside down.
Immediately, there was another dull explosion, but the man flew upside down and directly smashed through the wooden house behind, like a human-shaped wooden door.
Outside the human-shaped wooden house, the strong man fell to the ground and screamed in embarrassment, with fresh blood flowing out of his face.
A simple blow knocked the strong man away. Although I can't say that it shocked the whole audience, it also made many monks' pupils shrink.
Many people who wanted to enter the tavern had experienced the strength of the strong man. It was almost unfathomable, but now he was knocked back by a blow.
Zi Chen strode into the tavern, followed closely by the monk and the demon ape.
There are really eight tables in the tavern, but now five of them are occupied, and three of them are empty. Except for two of the five tables, which are alone, the other tables are filled with monks in groups, including men. There are girls, all young.
At this moment, the eyes of the young men and women at the three tables fell on Zi Chen. Apart from a few expressions of curiosity, most of them were angry, as if blaming Zi Chen for disturbing their drinking.
As for the two people sitting alone, they still didn't look at Zi Chen, but were quietly tasting wine.
After Zi Chen withdrew his gaze, he fell on the counter of the tavern. On the shiny counter, there was a tall crystal bottle with some strange things soaked in the bottle.
There are slender plants, gorgeous flowers and plants, and some animal body parts.
After that, Zi Chen's pupils shrank slightly, and he saw a heart among various things, which looked very much like a human heart. These things were all soaked in a light golden liquid, and Zi Chen happened to see, The wine glasses of these people seemed to be filled with this pale golden liquid.
There is only this tall crystal bottle on the counter, and there is nothing else placed behind it. I want to come here and only sell this kind of wine.
After looking away from the crystal bottle, Zi Chen saw a one-eyed man standing at the counter, looking like the boss here.
At this moment, the other party was also sizing up Zi Chen. They looked at each other. Zi Chen did not see the wisdom and vicissitudes he should have in the other party's eyes. Instead, he saw turbidity, a little world-weariness and helplessness, just like he tried his best to maintain. If the business of the tavern is not good, it will close soon if it can no longer maintain its business.
"You damaged this place. Ten drops of lower grade Yuan liquid will be needed to compensate for the damage." Before Zi Chen could speak, the one-eyed man said.
Ten drops of low-grade Yuan liquid are worth a lot of money. Not to mention compensating a wooden house, even one thousand eight hundred is enough.
Zi Chen didn't argue about this, he just nodded and said, "Okay."
Hearing that Zi Chen promised to compensate, the one-eyed man obviously had a smile on his face, just like a guest finally came to the sluggish tavern. He warmly entertained him: "You are a guest, welcome to taste our most exquisite drinks. .”
The most exquisite, it seems that it can only be called the only drink.
Zi Chen and the others sat down, and the one-eyed man began to pour wine for the three of them. Then he walked out of the counter and brought it to the three of them. During this period, no one continued to stop Zi Chen, and no one deliberately caused trouble.
The strong man's screams had stopped, and it was as if nothing had happened.
The one-eyed man walked with a limp and was extremely unsteady, but not a drop of the three wine glasses filled with wine in the other man's hand was spilled.
Zi Chen originally thought that the other person was a cripple, but after his eyes fell, he discovered that the other person not only had one eye, but also one leg, and a black wooden prosthetic leg was connected to the broken leg.
Seeing this scene, Zi Chen stood up and took three cups that were obviously one size larger than others.
There was a touch of gratitude on the one-eyed man's face, and he said: "Thank you very much, I will give you ten drops of Pinyuan Liquid in total."
Zi Chen was a little surprised when he heard that he was just allowed to taste the wine, and the wine was free. However, he did not ask, but just complied with everything. It seemed that there was something weird everywhere here, Zi Chen didn't want to get into trouble, he just came to inquire about the news.
"Boss, you may have made a mistake in your calculation." Just as Zi Chen gave out the Yuan Liquid, a voice sounded from the side.
This voice was made by the same person who ordered the strong man before. Just beside Zi Chen, there was a young man among the four people sitting at the table.
"Is the calculation wrong? No, ten drops of low-grade Yuan liquid, that's right." The one-eyed man looked at the young man in surprise.
It is hard to imagine that such a one-eyed and one-legged man could be a strong man who has successfully passed the most powerful trial.
"Ten drops of Pinyuan Liquid are to compensate for the loss of the tavern, but you didn't include the cost of the drinks this time. For us to drink a small cup, we need twenty drops of Pinyuan Liquid. For the three of them to drink a large cup, at least Give it fifty, the three of them add up to one hundred and fifty, a total of one hundred and sixty drops." The young man who spoke earlier began to settle the accounts for One-Eye.
Duyan nodded and said, "It makes sense. He should indeed be charged 160 drops, but someone has already paid for his drinks, but there is no compensation."
"Someone paid, who..." Two voices sounded in the tavern at the same time, one was Zi Chen, and the other was the young man. After the words were finished, the young man looked at Zi Chen, but Zi Chen ignored him and remained silent. Stare at the one-eyed man.
"That person paid for Zi Chen's drinks in advance and said it should be you." One Eye looked at Zi Chen.
Zi Chen nodded repeatedly and said anxiously: "Senior, is the person you are talking about a man or a woman? Where is he (she) now?"
The demon ape and the monk also looked at the one-eyed man at the same time.
The one-eyed man smiled and said, "Just call me boss, I like this title."
"Okay, boss, may I ask who it is?" Zi Chen asked again.
"No comment." The one-eyed man said suddenly, then turned around and limped back to the counter.
Zi Chen, who was full of joy, suddenly became lost and disappointed. It was as if he had clearly hit a blow with all his strength, but it hit the air. The feeling of powerlessness was uncomfortable.
"Senior, oh no, boss, can you tell me whether I am a boy or a girl?" Zi Chen asked reluctantly.
The one-eyed man shook his head and said, "No comment."
Zi Chen had the urge to shoot the other person to death immediately, but he knew that the other person was very strong, and the appearance of a mortal in front of him was just an illusion.
If you can't use force, you can only use wealth. Zi Chen said: "I will give you Yuan Liquid."
The one-eyed man's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked: "Are you going to buy the news?"
"Yes, I want to buy the news." Zi Chen nodded, but he was already gritting his teeth.
"Okay, you ask questions first, and then I'll discount the price to make sure it's fair and fair." The one-eyed man made an expression as if I clearly marked the price.
"Is the person who paid for my drink a man or a woman?" Zi Chen asked.
"This question is worth ten drops of Lower Grade Yuan Liquid." The one-eyed man did not answer immediately, but first told the price.
"I give."
"Well, she is a woman." The one-eyed man's eyes lit up, and he added: "Because I have rarely seen a woman like that, so I will give you another one for free. She is very beautiful."
"Is there a strange beast following her?"
"This is worth ten drops of Lower Grade Yuan Liquid."
"I give."
The one-eyed man said: "The tavern was doing very well at the time, so I didn't pay attention."
