Shao Xi and Lao Wu, a pair of idiots, hurried back to Huaichang City. Instead of going to Taihe Trading Company, they rushed directly to the inn.
Fortunately, the two of them came back in time. If they hadn't come back, they probably wouldn't have been able to pay the bill even if they sold Wu Qiu'er.
When Shao Xi heard the inn's cashier tell him the final settlement amount, he was stunned. Wu Qiu'er is really delicious!
These days, he and Lao Wu were running around outside, busy with their own affairs. When Wu Qiu'er was left alone in the inn for more than ten days, he actually ate thirty taels of silver, an average of one day. Three taels.
The waiters at the inn said that if he continued to eat like this, the inn would soon have to purchase a large amount of ingredients, otherwise no other guests would be able to eat.
After hearing this, Shao Xi felt dumbfounded. Although thirty taels of silver was nothing to him, to an ordinary person, it might be ten or even ten years of his entire income, but this kid had eaten it in just ten days. Once inside, it would be no exaggeration to say that he is a gold-eating beast.
Speaking of which, this inn is kind. It has raised this boy for more than ten days and never left him hungry.
Shao Xi quickly apologized to the innkeeper, saying that he was too busy with business these days and had no time to come back. He thanked the inn for taking good care of Wu Qiu'er these days.
When checking out, he threw out fifty taels of silver as a token of gratitude, which made the innkeeper feel flattered.
To be honest, the shopkeeper has been in a bit of trouble these past two days. When Shao Xi asked him to take good care of Wu Qiu'er, how could he have known that this product was so edible?
If this continues, the money in his inn will not be able to be recycled. Fortunately, Shao Xi arrived in time to settle the bill, which finally solved his urgent need.
Shao Xi arranged for the shopkeeper to prepare a large amount of dry food for the road, and left Huaichang City again with Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er.
This time, heading north, we are really rushing to Lingyu Mountain.
Along the way north, Shao Xi and Lao Wu were extremely embarrassed. Both of them felt that it was unjustifiable to leave the black ball in Huaichang City.
So along the way, the two of them took care of Wu Qiu'er in every possible way, asking for help, which made Wu Qiu'er feel a little baffled, wondering if his master and master had taken the wrong medicine?
I left myself alone in the inn for more than ten days, why should I be so enthusiastic now?
However, Wu Qiu'er didn't think much about it. For him with a simple mind, eating and drinking was enough. But he didn't know if he knew that he was a confused master and that he was a master. He almost left him in his arms before. What kind of mood would it be like in Changcheng?
Shao Xi and Lao Wu also kept silent about this matter, feeling too embarrassed.
The few people walked north like this. The water routes were getting fewer and fewer, and the land route was much faster. The journey was relatively smooth, and they walked for eight or nine days without realizing it.
Until the dusk of this day, we finally arrived at the foot of Lingyu Mountain.
Looking up, I can see the graceful bells of Lingyu Mountain, the misty mist at dusk, the lingering clouds, and the green and gold. It is obvious at a glance that it is a geomantic treasure.
Shao Xi looked at the beautiful scenery here and couldn't help but sigh: "The ancestors of the Qianyu Sect are really good at choosing places. They chose such a good place with dragons and tigers, a blessed land and a cave to establish a sect. It is indeed very impressive. Eyesight! It’s a pity that a group of women live on this mountain. I wonder if the yin energy is too strong?”
Old Wu couldn't help but glance at Shao Xi.
"This mountain is just inhabited by a group of women, not a group of female ghosts! If your words are heard by the group of aunts and sisters from the Qianyu Sect, be careful not to get entangled with you!"
Shao Xi put up the awning with his hands and looked up at the tall mountain gate that was vaguely visible on the top of the mountain. He seemed not to care about what Old Wu said.
"A group of women are tangled up with me because I'm handsome and charming! I'm afraid you, an old and ugly guy, won't have a role anymore."
After hearing what Shao Xi said, Lao Wu was so angry that his teeth were itching. This guy was always talking about his age and appearance.
"Hmph! You don't need to be so pretty now. When you see those old women on the mountain, you will know how difficult they are. If I hadn't been able to run fast with my legs and feet, I would have suffered a lot at their hands. Don't think that these old women are so They are easy to talk to, but they are much more difficult to deal with than the Taoist priests in Wulong Mountain."
Shao Xi didn't even look at Lao Wu before he started teasing: "You look so dignified and cunning. Of course, people will look down on you. Young Master, I am different. I went up the mountain to see what Young Master is." How to deal with these women?"
After Lao Wu gave Shao Xi a hard "poof", he twisted his neck and ignored Shao Xi with an unhappy look on his face.
Old Wu really had no way to refute Shao Xi on this matter. He found that this boy's shamelessness seemed to be very effective against women wherever he went. How could his shameless look be so lethal to those women?
As soon as the two barbers finished lifting the bar, they heard the thunderous gurgling sound in Wu Qiu'er's stomach. No need to ask, this guy is hungry again!
So the three of them found a temporary forest at the foot of the mountain, planning to spend the night there and visit the mountain again early the next morning.
After all, it was already dusk at this time, and it was already dark when we got up the mountain. A few big men who were running around in the dark ran to the place where a group of women lived. By then, even if it was not dark, it would be dark. It was hard to explain.
A few people carried ready-made dry food and were too lazy to build a bonfire.
After they had eaten and drank enough, it was getting dark, so they took off the blankets from their horses, wrapped them around themselves, and lay down on the ground.
The three of them planned to sleep like this all night and go up the mountain early in the morning after dawn.
Fortunately, the terrain of Lingyu Mountain is not as dangerous as Wulong Mountain. Although you can't ride up the mountain directly, you can at least lead him up the mountain. Otherwise, you have to leave Wu Qiu'er at the bottom of the mountain, which would be really troublesome.
There was no talking all night, and it was already daylight when the three of them woke up the next day.
After briefly washing up by the small river at the foot of the mountain, I simply arranged my hair and clothes. After all, the Qianyumen are a group of women, and they always have to pay attention to their appearance when visiting the mountain.
Just when the three of them were getting ready and preparing to lead their own horses up the mountain, they saw a group of people coming from a distance outside the woods, at least sixty or seventy riders.
Such a large group of people was seen galloping towards them from a distance, kicking up bursts of dust.
The three of them looked up and saw that this group of people were all wearing blue robes and carrying silver swords. Only the two leaders were different.
I saw two people, one old and one young. The older one was wearing a red robe, with gray beard and hair. He was energetic and his eyes were shining. You could tell at a glance that he was a person with deep inner strength.
The younger one is wearing a light yellow brocade robe, a small golden crown on his head, curved eyebrows and narrow eyes, white face and red lips. He looks gentle, but there is a faint sense of coldness and arrogance in his whole temperament.
There is a golden sword hanging on the saddle, and it can be seen at a glance that it is not a common thing.
This team of people galloped past the woods where a few people were, and the dust they were kicked up flew everywhere, making the three people standing by the woods covered with dust on their heads, faces, and bodies.
All the efforts in grooming just now were in vain, and Old Wu was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, how amazing is Ma? It makes me, old man, covered in dirt, and I don't even have eyes on me when I'm walking? Is that really true? His grandma’s bad luck!”
Shao Xi and Wu Qiu'er were also patting the dust on their heads and bodies. Although they didn't say anything, they were full of dissatisfaction.
But the team didn't seem to hear Old Wu's scolding, and just headed straight towards the Qianyu Gate of Lingyu Mountain.
The few people had no choice but to go back to the river to freshen up and tidy up again. After a long time, they finally got themselves clean again.
So a few people led their mounts and headed towards the mountain gate of Qianyumen along the route that the team of horses had just run.
While walking, Shao Xi also asked Lao Wu: "Old guy, do you know where the team that just passed by came from? I don't think they are like ordinary Jianghu sects, and they came with great momentum. The leader is obviously not weak in martial arts. , especially the sword hanging on the young man's saddle is not an ordinary thing, can you recognize them?"
Old Wu looked at the direction where the group of people were heading up the mountain just now, twirling the beard on his chin, frowning and thinking, as if he was trying to remember something.
"If I remember correctly, these guys should be the Tianyun Sect who came here like me ten years ago."
"Tian Yun Sect?"
Shao Xi had never heard Old Wu mention this Jianghu sect to him in so many years. Today, he suddenly heard the name and felt quite unfamiliar. Naturally, he couldn't help but ask a few questions.
"Why have I never heard you mention the Tianyun Sect, a martial arts sect? Is it because this sect is usually very low-key, or is it because it is not well-known? Why did you never mention the martial arts when you talked to me about it?"
Old Wu waved his hand to Shao Xi and said: "This Tianyun Sect cannot be said to be a martial arts sect. This is a serious martial arts sect. Speaking of which, the martial arts of Tianyun Sect have been passed down for nearly a hundred years, but this sect is very He rarely participates in martial arts affairs, so he always seems insignificant, but he should not be underestimated."
"So it's a relatively low-key martial arts sect? But why is it so high-profile when you come to Lingyu Mountain today? Is there something going on? Why don't we go and watch the excitement together."
Old Wu couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the gossipy expression on Shao Xi's face. This kid has always liked to join in the fun since he was a child, and he is not afraid of getting himself into trouble. He looks like a aunt on the street.
"Don't try to join in the fun. The feud between Qianyu Sect and Tianyun Sect has been going on for decades. When I came here ten years ago, I happened to catch up with Tianyun Sect coming to challenge Qianyu Sect. Both sides must use their own sect's The town sent magic weapons and martial arts secrets as the price of the competition.
"However, because the young master of the Qianyu Clan was still a little girl at the time, the two parties agreed that in ten years there would be a competition between the young master of the Tianyun Sect and the young master of the Qianyu Clan. It can be said that this ten-year agreement should have been in It will be completed this spring, why did Tianyun Sect come just now?"
Shao Xi looked excited when he heard this, "Why don't you go and watch if there's a fight going on?"
After saying that, he led Ying Ding'er and ran towards the mountain.
