In the past month, Li Xiaoyao has been working hard to practice the Five Village Immortal Art taught to him by his master, the Flame Immortal Annie, who is the ancestor of the Earth Immortal, Zhenyuan Immortal.
Maybe it's because of his extraordinary talent, or maybe it's because of the effect of the flat peach that ripens once every three thousand years?
Anyway, he is currently studying "Book of Changes" and has learned the art of exorcism and corpse exorcism. This may be due to the wooden sword sword technique of "no sword is better than a sword" that he has practiced for more than ten years. Because of this, he has the best understanding of "Xiaoxiang Immortal Rain". The Misty Rain Sword Technique and Piaomiao Style were the first moves he understood, and his speed in practicing them can be said to be rapid.
but……
Regarding "Qiankun Sleeves", "Cultivation of Immortals", "Hunyuan Dao Fruit", "Ming Xing Cultivation", which he could understand but could not understand the meaning of, he felt helpless for the time being, so he could only put it down for the time being. As for the various immortal methods explained in it, I didn't understand them at all.
Similarly, Li Xiaoyao also failed to learn the "Seven Star Escape" as a Wuzhuang Immortal Technique.
But what is a little better than the above stuff that he knows nothing about is: "Seven Stars Escape" he barely knew a little bit about. He was able to be as light as a swallow, jump from the ground to the roof in one go, and peek at Xianglan Xiulan. You can take a shower without worrying about being discovered by them.
But if you want to practice it and learn the supreme immortal method that can move thousands of miles in an instant like flying in the clouds and riding on the mist, it is estimated that it will definitely be out of reach in a short time.
But no matter what, since he received the inheritance from his master, the Flame Immortal, and began to practice immortal magic, Li Xiaoyao instantly became more energetic and diligent. Basically, he got up before dawn every day and scrubbed the table and floor. I quickly went to practice and basically didn't fall asleep until very late at night. Even though I woke up earlier than a chicken and slept faster than a dog, I didn't feel any tiredness at all and I woke up energetic every day.
"The white jade capital in the sky, the five cities on the twelfth floor."
"The Immortal caressed my head and tied my hair to achieve immortality."
Isn’t this?
When his master was still sleeping in the room, when the morning light had just begun to show some signs, and when his aunt was still busy in the kitchen, Li Xiaoyao was already chanting the words of Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty who banished the immortals. Poetry, I scrubbed it attentively in the lobby of my inn.
"well?"
"Ah! Dear guests, do you want to stay in a hotel or go to a hotel?"
"Please come in quickly!"
While he was busy, Li Xiaoyao suddenly saw three guests coming to the door who were dressed very differently from the Central Plains people. However, he was not too surprised and ran forward to greet them.
You know, after all these years of working as a waiter, what kind of person has Li Xiaoyao never seen?
I have seen a lot of travelers, tourists, scholars, bodyguards, martial arts heroes, etc., and a while ago I even met my master, the living god, so now these people seem to be Miao people and look fierce. Baba's guys are indeed not too rare to him.
To be honest, if a monster comes one day and wants to be slapped, as long as he doesn't want to eat people, Li Xiaoyao will still be able to greet him with a smile!
"The waiter!"
"We have booked your inn. Except for the boss and the waiters, all other irrelevant people will be invited out!"
"Give!"
"You take the money first!"
After walking in and taking a look, I found that the environment in the inn was quite clean, and the floors and seats had just been wiped. After that, the leader of the black-clothed Miao people who spoke not very fluently in Chinese dialect nodded, and then While striding forward, he threw a small bag of copper coins directly into Li Xiaoyao's arms.
"..."
Just after weighing it for a moment, Li Xiaoyao could roughly guess how many copper coins were inside.
Only 500 Wen?
How dare you pretend to be an uncle with such a small amount of money...
Therefore, after meeting the really rich man of his own master, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed with these 'poor' Nanman guests who came to his door.
Of course, he was disappointed. Since his family ran an inn and did business, all the customers came to his door. No matter what, he still needed to receive them well.
"What a coincidence!"
"Dear guests, it's the off-season recently. During this period of slack, there are generally not many customers in small shops who need accommodation. There are only three people in this shop: me, my aunt, and my master. The other guests are only one for the time being. None!"
"It's better if you don't have it!"
"Prepare two clean guest rooms for us. In the future, no other people are allowed to disturb or approach without our instructions. Do you understand?"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"Excuse me, gentlemen, do you have anything else to give me?"
"Then bring some food and drink!"
"Okay~!"
"Auntie!"
"Three rich distinguished guests are here, prepare your specialty wine and food!"
"Dear guests, please come this way!"
After shouting towards the kitchen, Li Xiaoyao quickly greeted the guests to the two unused upper rooms on the second floor to the west.
Although, these fierce guests seemed difficult to talk to, but since they were generous and a little more generous than ordinary guests, Li Xiaoyao still planned to do his duty to entertain them.
'knew……'
'You say hello first, I'll be right here! '
Aunt Li's sleepy voice came from the kitchen, but soon the sound of pots and pans also started to ring. Apparently she heard Li Xiaoyao's words and knew what to prepare for the 'rich' distinguished guests. Some food and drinks.
"call!"
"It's really evil. How come there are guests coming so early in the morning..."
After a while, after settling the guests, Li Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and walked down from the second floor on the west side. At the same time, he couldn't help but murmured in confusion.
"!!"
However, before he finished muttering, he discovered that there was another person lying at the door of his inn.
"Well?"
"No way. Do you know the rules when a beggar comes to your door so early in the morning?"
When he saw the other party lying there on the stairs from a distance, exuding a bad smell, Li Xiaoyao secretly sighed, and then hurriedly rushed down.
"Hello!"
"Go away, beggars, be reasonable! We have just opened, and you come and block the door so early in the morning. Is this okay?"
"besides!"
"Don't all those who beg for food sleep in until the afternoon? Since you are so diligent and come to the door so early in the morning, why don't you go do something else and not end up like this?"
Li Xiaoyao said with some annoyance, and looked at the dirt on the floor that he had finally wiped clean, as well as the stench and rancid smell emanating from the other person's body after who knows how many nights, and couldn't help but Frown.
"Give you money!"
"Come on, hurry up, don't delay our business!"
There was nothing I could do about it. Whether he was beaten or scolded by such a person, it seemed a bit unpleasant, so Li Xiaoyao thought about it and took out a coin from the money bag given by the three Miao people in his arms. The copper coin is not a good match, so I plan to send the other person to get out of here quickly.
After all, one copper coin is not too small, it is enough for the other party to buy a few cooking cakes and eat them for two days.
"Well……"
"Little, little brother..."
"I'm not a beggar, and I don't want your money. Can you...can you give me some wine?"
The person lying on the floor finally turned over and yelled at Li Xiaoyao in a drunken and smelly tone.
"ah?"
"you!!"
"Turns out he is a bad drunkard..."
Seeing the other party's blushing face and the front of the Taoist robe that was full of stench, Li Xiaoyao was startled, and then he couldn't help but secretly sigh.
People in their profession know that drunkards are more difficult to deal with than beggars, especially those who are addicted to alcohol. Once the other party starts acting up, they really can't be subdued if they don't have any skills.
"..."
"Here you go! Here you go!"
"Hurry up and leave after drinking. I'm very busy and don't have time to entertain you. Don't just hang around in front of my house!"
Knowing that drunkards are difficult to deal with, Li Xiaoyao hurriedly took a bottle of wine from the counter that was leftover from the other guests last night and placed it next to the other person. He said so casually that he should hurry up after drinking. You can go whatever you want, as long as you don't stand in front of their house or sleep in a ditch, he doesn't care.
"Gulu gulu..."
"Uh ha~!"
"Little brother, why does this wine seem to have been left overnight, and it's so weak? Could it be that you added water to it?"
After raising his head and drinking in one gulp, he put down the wine bottle in his hand. The drunkard dressed as a Taoist priest smacked his lips, shook his head and asked Li Xiaoyao.
"okay!"
"This is for you to drink for free. Don't worry about whether it was overnight or mixed with water. Just leave as soon as you finish drinking. I'm really busy, sir!"
After reaching out and snatching back the finished wine bottle, Li Xiaoyao continued to urge impatiently.
"this……"
"Little brother, but I still want to eat meat!"
"..."
"for you!"
"You've got wine and meat. Go outside and eat under the eaves. Don't block our business here!"
Li Xiaoyao originally wanted to refuse and drag the other party out, but when he thought of something, he walked back and took out the leftover plate they had last night from the counter. It was too fatty and no one wanted to touch it. After stuffing the braised pork knuckle with chopsticks into the opponent's hand, he drove it away for the third time.
"This, such a big plate!!"
"Little brother, I don't have any money to give you!"
"okay!"
"I don't expect you to have money, go out to eat! After eating, leave immediately and put the plate under the eaves. If my aunt doesn't come out later, I will give you a scolding!"
If it were normal, if Li Xiaoyao wanted to give the other party meat and wine, it would definitely be impossible! However, now that their family is rich and the landlords and wealthy families have surplus food, it definitely doesn't matter if they reward each other with the leftovers.
"ah……"
"Then...then let's do this!"
"Little brother, I won't eat your food for nothing, I..."
"Don't eat for free?"
"That's a good relationship. Sir, Chenghui, let me give you ten cents in total. Silver is fine, we can find it!"
Hearing what the other party said, Li Xiaoyao became a little more energetic and stretched out his hand. It seemed like a good idea to exchange the leftover food and wine for ten cents.
"..."
"I...I have no money!!"
"??"
"Taoist Priest, I'm really busy. What do you want?"
Li Xiaoyao was completely at his wits end.
He had obviously given the other party food and drink, and had no intention of asking for money, but the other party said he couldn't eat for free, but refused to give him money if he didn't want to eat for free... He thought, he practiced the Five Villages Immortal Technique The patience that I had finally cultivated in "Ming Xing Cultivation" was really about to be worn out by the other party.
"Little brother!"
"Since I've eaten your fair share of wine and meat, how about I teach you a set of swordsmanship as compensation?"
"!?"
"Well, I'll be there tonight..."
"Stop it!"
"Uncle, I don't have time to play around with you, please give in, we really still want to do business!"
However, before the other party could finish speaking, Li Xiaoyao interrupted the Taoist again.
"Who, who is playing tricks with you?"
"I really want to teach you my skills. Have you ever heard of 'sword control'? The kind that can fly into the sky, escape from the earth, and slay demons!"
"Swordsmanship?"
"Thanks, not interested!"
After saying that, Li Xiaoyao began to push the other party away, not intending to waste any more time.
"Hey! Wait!"
"Don't you think about it?"
"Not consider!"
"You really don't want to learn?"
"Not learn!"
"Hello!"
"Taoist Master, we are not open today. The inn is booked. Are you okay?"
After saying that, thinking about the three guests who were barely generous, and thinking about how it was not an option for this beggar-like Taoist to block here and cause trouble, Li Xiaoyao, who didn't want to be nagging with the other party, quickly made up his mind and said After pushing the drunk Taoist out, he closed the door directly.
"You still have sword-wielding skills?"
"Really!"
"I can't even finish practicing the supreme immortal skills of my own sect, so how can I have time to practice that kind of sword-controlling skills like that of Lao Shizi?"
"Tsk..."
"Master will get up in the afternoon and check your homework. If you don't meet the requirements, you will be beaten by that demon bear!"
"I'd better take the time to continue practicing my Wu Zhuang Immortal Technique. It would be great if one day I can make progress in "Cultivation of Immortals" and reach the state of 'Tai Chi Biochemistry'!"
With that said, Li Xiaoyao sighed, no longer caring about the Taoist priest he had kicked out, and walked towards the kitchen to see if his aunt had prepared any food or drinks for the guests.
"..."
Outside the door, the drunkard Jiu Jianxian was dumbfounded, holding a plate of braised elbows, blowing his beard in the wind, his beard disheveled.
In the past, there were anywhere from a thousand to eight hundred people who wanted to learn from him, but now it was good. When he wanted to teach him, the guy didn't appreciate it and seemed to look down on his 'sword-controlling skills'? !
This is really unreasonable! !
Moreover, he clearly remembered that the boy wanted to learn swordsmanship since he was a child. In addition, he had been entrusted by someone to come all the way here on this day, but why didn't the other person seem to want to appreciate it?
"Well……"
"That's fine!"
"Let's fill our stomachs for now, and try him again another day!"
Looking at the closed door of the inn, and then at the plate of braised pork elbows in his hand, the drunk Taoist hesitated again and again, and decided to come back another day.
"..."
|˛˙◡˙)✧
However, what some drunkards who reluctantly turned around and left didn't know was that in an upper room on the east side of the second floor of the inn, a little girl had been awakened when he came, and then, when he left At that time, she was lying at the window, looking proudly at his leaving back through the small gap.
"..."
(✧◡✧)
"A demo! You still want to compete with others for the leading role? Unfortunately, uncle, you are late and have no chance!"
(๑‾ꇴ‾๑) Hehe!
