The young man frowned at first, then smiled. If he could transfer five taels, it would naturally be better than three taels.
Before Li Xiuping could speak, Chu Yan said, "Do you know what first-come, first-served means?"
The man looked at Chu Yan, then glanced at Li Xiuping and others, and said with a smile: "I only know that the highest bidder gets everything in the world. If my price is higher than yours, then this room will naturally be mine. I think this brother would be more willing to transfer it to me."
As he spoke, he looked at the anxious young man.
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Your Majesty is right. In this case, I will pay ten taels."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of broken silver and placed it on the table.
Everyone frowned. A room costs ten taels. Is this too much money to use up? Even though it is hard to find a house in this small town now, ten taels of silver per room is still too expensive.
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Aren't you rich? Don't you plan to add more?"
The man snorted coldly: "I...I will pay fifteen taels."
Li Xiuping put away the money on the table without speaking.
The man suddenly looked like a winner and said, "Are you scared now?"
Li Xiuping sighed: "If someone is willing to give me fifteen taels of silver, I can sleep on the street. You do have a lot of money, but you definitely don't have much brains."
Chu Yan laughed.
The man's face turned red immediately, and then he said coldly: "How dare you play tricks on me."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "It's still a little bit."
The man really couldn't bear it any longer. He took a step forward and was about to attack Li Xiuping, but Master Huo Ling stood up and stopped him.
Li Xiuping said softly: "You paid for it yourself, but no one forced you. Why are you so anxious? If you really want to take action, there are so many of us, and you won't be able to get any benefits."
The man glanced at Li Xiuping and others. Not to mention that there were more people than him, and his strength was far superior to him. He immediately withered and said to the anxious young man: "I don't want this room anymore."
After that, he took the money back from his hand and said to Li Xiuping humanely: "Just wait for me."
Li Xiuping smiled slightly and didn't care.
The anxious young man frowned and looked at Li Xiuping with mixed emotions.
He originally thought he could make a fortune, but now he can't even earn five taels.
Li Xiuping said at this time: "That's almost it. I'm too greedy, but it delays the business. You actually don't lose the two taels of silver. If the two children around me weren't too young, I wouldn't have spent this unjust money." .”
The young man seemed to have accepted his fate and sighed: "Okay."
With that said, he took out the room key and put it on the table.
Li Xiuping also took out two taels of silver and handed it to the other party.
The young man took the money, bowed to Li Xiuping and others, and hurried out of the inn.
Li Xiuping handed the room key to Chu Yan and said, "Remember to practice before going to bed."
Chu Yan smiled and nodded, pulling Yang Erni and rushing upstairs.
After the young man left the inn, he left the small town overnight and headed north, looking anxious and helpless.
His trip was originally for important matters, but a message suddenly came from his family, calling him back, saying that his grandfather had passed away.
Now that we are so far away from home, almost all the money we brought from home has been spent. The cost of going back is obviously not enough, otherwise I wouldn't be worried about a few taels of silver.
When he thought of the white-haired young man, he was really angry.
This complaint lasted until one night, when he encountered several ferocious beasts on his way home, and then it completely disappeared. His complaint against the white-haired young man also turned into gratitude, because the young man gave him two The two taels of silver were actually blessed by powerful magical powers, and it was because of the existence of the two taels of silver that he survived the attack of those ferocious beasts.
Therefore, even if young people do not eat or drink, they still have to keep the two taels of silver...
Of course, these are all trivial matters, and they are just Li Xiuping guessing the disaster of this trip from the young man, and doing it conveniently. If not, he would not deliberately anger another person because of a room.
There was only one room, and it was naturally given to Chu Yan and Yang Erni, so the rest were destined to live on the street, but this was not a big deal to any of them.
Li Xiuping said at this time: "Go for a walk by the river?"
Master Qingming nodded, and the two of them got up and left the inn. Master Huo Ling and the blue water unicorn stayed behind to ensure the safety of Yang Erni and Chu Yan.
The riverside was some distance away from the small town, and the two of them didn't walk very fast. It was already late at night when they arrived at the riverside.
After arriving at the riverside, layman Qingming directly released his spiritual consciousness to check the situation on the river.
Li Xiuping asked: "How?"
Master Qingming shook his head and said: "Although there are monsters, they are not many in number. Of course, it may be covered by some secret method and cannot be detected for the time being."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "You will know once you try it."
After saying that, he flew directly towards the river, and then stood on the river.
The bright moon hung upside down in the river, swaying gently in the water waves, and the surrounding fields seemed very peaceful.
After Li Xiuping stood on the river, he began to release his own aura, which continued to flow downwards. The originally calm river began to boil, and then monsters continued to appear, but compared to dusk, there were obviously much less. And after these monsters appeared, they felt the aura released by Li Xiuping, and they were obviously a little afraid, unlike those before who were not afraid of death and launched attacks directly.
Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at the layman Qingming who also came to his side.
Layman Qingming shook his head and said: "There is nothing abnormal."
He continued: "It would be appropriate to cross the river at this time."
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "This place is less than a hundred miles away from where we were before. It shouldn't be."
Layman Qingming shook his head, saying that he didn't know, and then asked: "Do you want to cross the river?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Let's go according to the previous plan and talk about it tomorrow morning."
Master Qingming nodded, and the two of them took one more look at the monsters before turning back to the small town.
There was no talking all night until dawn.
Early in the morning, Li Xiuping and others went to the riverside ferry. Because they had been there once last night, they were familiar with the roads now. Unlike last night, the ferry was crowded with people and a boat was hovering on the river. For a spiritual boat, cultivators set up checkpoints, check the signs of people coming, and then arrange different spiritual boats for these people.
Li Xiuping and others were naturally arranged on a spirit boat. This spirit boat was almost filled with ordinary people, and there were obviously not as many practitioners as there were on the other spirit boats.
As everyone boarded the spirit boat, a flag waved on the relatively large spirit boat in front. Suddenly all the spirit boats began to move forward, maintaining formations with each other. It looked like there was quite a battle. .
If it were just an ordinary monster, if it saw such a formation, it would not dare to show its face easily.
Chu Yan was standing at the front of the spirit boat, straightening her back and looking straight ahead, looking like a general leading an army on an expedition. Yang Erni was sitting beside her, her expression a little unsightly, she must be a little seasick.
Li Xiuping walked up to her and said softly: "Try to circulate the true energy in your body. There is no need to suppress the physical discomfort, just feel the movement of the true energy."
Yang Erni followed suit, and the situation did ease somewhat.
Li Xiuping also walked to the front of the spirit boat and asked at the same time: "It seems a little different from yesterday."
The layman Qingming nodded and said: "There is indeed something different. The entire river seems to have been arranged with a large formation, covered by the night. Therefore, when the night is dark, its breath is completely integrated with the night. Even if the spiritual consciousness is released, It’s hard to detect.”
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "It's quite a feat."
The layman Qingming said with a smile: "In order to deal with you, no amount of effort seems too big."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "That's true."
At this time, the layman Qingming said: "But this does not look like the method of the demon clan, but more like the method of the Taoist family."
Li Xiuping was stunned and couldn't help but look at Master Qingming, as if he wanted to confirm his statement.
The layman Qingming nodded and said: "I have seen similar formations before. It is a kind of phantom formation. It relies on the laws of heaven and earth. The sun rises and the moon sets. It is extremely hidden. If it is not driven by the person who set up the formation, it is difficult to detect the clues. It is used to A formation that covers some secret treasures, but the one in front of me is obviously of a higher level and has undergone some changes."
Li Xiuping said seriously: "In this way, what that guy said is probably true. Kunlun Mountain is really going to attack me."
The face of the layman Qingming also became a little heavy, and he said: "If this is really the case, then I am afraid that this trip..."
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "When that time comes, senior will leave with those two little girls. Since their target is me, they won't take action against senior even if they think about it."
The layman Qingming said with a smile: "Contending against Kunlun Mountain, one of the three mountains, is something that will be famous forever. Besides, if I was really afraid of their Taoists, I would not have taken action when I was in the East China Sea, so with the Taoists, The gangsters are destined to have a fight, sooner or later."
Li Xiuping still wanted to speak, but layman Qingming said with a smile: "I know what I am doing, I just treat it as repaying your master's kindness. With your current situation, if I leave, you won't be able to deal with that gang." Guy. Besides, even if they really want to take action against you, I'm afraid they won't dare to do it blatantly. After all, your role in this world is obvious to all. Now that the demon clan's matter has not been resolved, the Taoists will take action against you. Even if they are the Three Mountains The Kunlun Mountains are one, and I am afraid we have to take into account the views of all forces."
At this time, the flag on the spirit boat in front waved again. As for what message it conveyed, Li Xiuping certainly couldn't tell. Only the monks on the spirit boat responsible for escorting could understand.
As the flag in front stopped, someone suddenly said: "It's foggy, everyone, be careful, the monsters in the river may take the opportunity to make a sneak attack."
The layman Qingming said: "The formation has been activated."
