"Okay, you go back first, Ying'er stays." Seeing Bu Xiaotian's uneasy look, Gu Qinglin said no more and issued an eviction order.
Bu Xiaotian returned to his room absentmindedly, and then locked himself in it.
This lock lasts for three days and three nights.
During this period, several senior brothers also came to see him, but seeing that his door was closed, they thought he was in seclusion, so they left without paying much attention.
When people have reached their level of cultivation, it is common for them to have occasional insights and stay in seclusion for three to five months. Senior brother Xiang Yunwen has even been in seclusion for nearly sixty years and has never come out.
In the past three days, Bu Xiaotian thought a lot.
Although the master always looked drunk, Bu Xiaotian had never underestimated him because of this, and had always respected him very much.
Gu Qinglin's words made him realize that maybe his master knew all his secrets, but he just didn't want to take care of them. Judging from his experiences over the years, his master, Uncle Gu, and the head Master Xuanyun must be more powerful than him. He himself knew better about his life experience, but they seemed unwilling to tell him even a little bit.
Three days later, Bu Tian walked out of the room early in the morning, found his second senior brother Cheng Yunliang, and said, "Second senior brother, I want to go down the mountain. There are some things that need to be done."
"Junior brother, the competition will begin in a few months. It would be a pity if you miss it. Why don't you wait until you pass the Jiazi test before going down the mountain?" Cheng Yunliang was a little surprised when he heard that Bu Xiaotian was going down the mountain. After all, Bu Xiaotian had hardly gone down the mountain since he went up the mountain. He was worried that he would miss the Jiazi test, so he tried to dissuade him.
"Senior brother, this matter is very important. I must go down the mountain now! You can rest assured that this time I will go down the mountain in as little as half a month or as much as a month. I will definitely not miss the competition!"
"Well, now your cultivation is not weak anymore. As long as you don't meet any powerful disciples of the Demon Sect, there is not much danger. But you must remember that our Yuxu Sect is a righteous sect. You must not do evil after coming down the mountain. Teach your disciples to be insidious and cunning. If you encounter someone, you must be more careful. If you can fight, fight. If you can't defeat, don't fight. Your own life is important!"
Seeing that Bu Xiaotian was determined to go down the mountain, Cheng Yunliang knew that Bu Xiaotian had to go, so he stopped trying to dissuade him. He was also worried that he had too little experience in the world and would be at a disadvantage when meeting people from the Demon Sect, so he warned him again.
Originally, he wanted to find a junior brother to accompany Bu Xiaotian so that he could take care of him, but seeing that Bu Xiaotian looked like he was going to do private things and not letting others know, he gave up the idea.
"Thank you, senior brother. I will definitely remember your teachings! Then I will prepare to go down the mountain." Bu Xiaotian bowed to Cheng Yunliang and said goodbye.
"Okay, go ahead."
Bu Xiaotian returned to his residence, packed some clothes and luggage at random, and left Purple Thunder Peak with his sword.
When he left, on a big rock in the Purple Thunder Peak forest, the drunk Xiao Tianxiong glanced in the direction where Bu Xiaotian left, seemingly inadvertently, and then closed his eyes again, seemingly falling asleep again.
After Bu Xiaotian came down from the mountain, he first came to Yuyang City, wanting to ask the somewhat mysterious Blacksmith Hu about something. But when he came to the huge blacksmith shop, he learned that Blacksmith Hu had already left Yuyang City. , calculating the time, it happened to be shortly after he and Chu Yungong came last time.
Not finding Hu Tiejiang, Bu Xiaotian had no choice but to leave. Just when he was about to leave Yuyang City, he heard a neither light nor heavy "gurgling" sound, but it was his stomach rumbling.
It turned out that he hadn't eaten for three days and was walking in a hurry. The Five Zang Temple protested. Seeing a few nearby pedestrians looking at him, Bu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and had to find a place to eat first. .
When he stood in front of Zuixian Tower again, Bu Xiaotian felt very emotional. It was here that he saw Yun Ying for the first time. At that time, Yun Ying was still a six-year-old girl, and he was only ten years old. Unexpectedly, So much happened later.
The layout of Zuixian Tower has not changed much compared to the past, but now Bu Xiaotian has grown up, and the little boy back then has disappeared. Things are different and people are different.
When Bu Xiaotian walked into the restaurant, a waiter greeted him enthusiastically: "I wonder if this guest officer is a top-level guest or staying in a hotel?"
"Please help me find a better place for dinner." Bu Xiaotian felt nostalgic when he heard this familiar greeting.
"Okay! Sir, please come with me!" The waiter put the rag in his hand on his shoulder, said hello, took Bu Xiaotian to a table by the window and sat down, and then asked, "I wonder what you would like to eat, sir? The dishes in this shop are famous far and wide. I guarantee you will eat them once and think twice about them!"
"Bah, bah, bah!"
Bu Xiaotian smiled and was about to order when a clear young voice came from the seat behind him: "What kind of food are these? It tastes terrible!"
This sound immediately attracted the attention of many diners, and Bu Xiaotian also turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.
"Sir, our Zuixianlou is a century-old store, and the chefs in the store are all excellent chefs. If you are dissatisfied with anything, just tell me, and we will make corrections to your satisfaction!" After hearing what the man said, he immediately ran over and said with a smile.
"See for yourselves! Look at these bamboo shoots. How old are they? Am I here to eat or grind my teeth? Look at this piece of meat. It's cut so thickly that it's not even cooked inside!" As soon as the man heard what the boy said, he immediately pointed at the few leftover dishes on the table and asked.
The waiter looked carefully at the dishes he pointed at, but found that the question the man mentioned was made out of nothing. His face suddenly became a little ugly, but he still managed not to have an attack, wanting to see what he was doing. What do you think: "Sir, how do you want to solve it?"
"I was not happy with this meal! I don't want to pursue this matter unless you give me the money for this meal!"
"Ha!" Unexpectedly, the boy sneered and looked at the man: "So you want to eat the King's meal! Do you really think that our Zuixianlou is easy to bully?"
"Don't be such a mouthful! How much money will I give you?" After hearing what the boy said, the man suddenly became furious, but his tone sounded a little guilty.
"Am I a slanderous person? Please come and comment, all the guests. He has almost finished the food on the plate, but he said the food is unpalatable and wants us to waive his meal. Isn't this an attempt to renege on the debt?" Unexpectedly The boy had also seen the world and was not intimidated by the man at all. Instead, he shouted loudly to the people around him.
Hearing what the waiter said, the surrounding diners all looked at that person, and some even pointed at him privately. They didn't know what they were talking about, but there was a bit of disdain in their eyes.
"You!" The young man didn't expect to be exposed so easily. He suddenly turned red and pointed at the boy, speechless.
"I want to stay in our Zuixian Tower..."
The boy was about to taunt the young man a few words, but was interrupted by Bu Xiaotian: "Brother, you must be merciful and merciful. I paid for this brother's meal!"
But it was Bu Xiaotian who saw that the young man didn't behave like a scoundrel who often freeloaded his money, so he opened his mouth to help him.
"Hmph!" The boy snorted coldly at the young man and said, "Since this guest officer is helping you pay the bill, I will let you go this time!"
"Really, why are you here to eat if you don't have money?" The boy murmured as he walked towards Bu Xiaotian.
"This is ten taels of silver. It should be enough to pay for his meal, right?" When the boy walked back to Bu Xiaotian, Bu Xiaotian took out a piece of silver from his arms and put it on the table and asked.
"Enough, enough, enough for him to eat for several meals!" The boy immediately beamed when he saw Yinzi.
"Then serve me some signature dishes and a pot of Immortal Drunk. If the remaining money is not enough, I will replenish it for you."
"Okay! Just wait a moment, the wine and food you want will be here soon!" After saying this, the boy immediately went downstairs.
"I didn't expect you, a guy who looks so poor, to be quite rich!" After the boy left, the boy did not leave. Instead, he sat directly opposite Bu Xiaotian and said.
"Haha, brother, you are just joking. I'm here, Bu Xiaotian. Do you know what brother's name is?" Bu Tian smiled. Although he did not agree with what the young man did just now, he had no ill feelings towards the young man and asked about the other person. The boy's name.
"Bu Xiaotian? Your name is really tacky. Listen up, my surname is Mo. It's a single word!" When the young man heard Bu Xiaotian's name, he deliberately belittled it.
"It turns out to be Brother Mo Wen. Nice to meet you!" Hearing the young man's words, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but smile.
"Don't be Mo Wen, brother Mo Wen. It sounds awful. Just call me Mo Wen. I'll call you Xiaotian." The young man who called himself Mo Wen felt a little uncomfortable seeing Bu Xiaotian being so polite.
"Okay, Mo Wen doesn't think your accent is local, right? I wonder where you are going?" Bu Xiaotian asked when he saw that Mo Wen didn't seem to be from around Yuyang City.
"Do you have to go somewhere if you're not a local? I just like to have fun everywhere, but looking at you, you must be traveling far away, right? Where are you going?"
"Go and do some personal matters and seek some answers." Bu Xiaotian replied.
"Oh? In that case, why don't we go together? It's quite boring to be alone anyway." Seeing that Bu Xiaotian refused to say anything, Mo Wen was intrigued and suggested that he go with Bu Xiaotian.
"Let's eat first." At this time, the food had been served. Bu Xiaotian didn't say whether he agreed or not, he just picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started eating.
Mo Wen saw Bu Xiaotian starting to eat. Although he had already eaten, he couldn't help but use his chopsticks when he looked at the delicious dishes in front of him.
Mo Wen looked like a handsome young man, and he was even more polite when he ate, not at all like he was careless when he spoke.
Bu Xiaotian, on the other hand, looked like he was devouring food. After all, he had not eaten or drank for three days, so he was really hungry. Mo Wen was dumbfounded.
Bu Xiaotian soon had enough to eat and drink. He wiped his mouth, paid the bill and got up to leave. Seeing that Bu Xiaotian was leaving, Mo Wen stopped eating and got up to follow Bu Xiaotian.
Bu Xiaotian ignored him and went all the way to a deserted place outside the city. Then he stopped and turned to Mo Wen and said, "I have to go do some private things and don't want outsiders to know. Besides, men and women are not intimate. I It’s really inconvenient to bring a woman with you.”
"What? How did you find out that I was disguised as a man?" Mo Wen looked at Bu Xiaotian in shock. He was obviously pretending to be very good.
"Haha." Bu Xiaotian chuckled, but did not answer Mo Wen's question. He turned around and strode forward.
Not long after, Bu Xiaotian discovered that Mo Wen had been following him, so he had to stop again. When Mo Wen approached, he said: "Girl, I have already said that I can't take you with me, so please stop following me." ?"
"Hmph! Who said I want to follow you? What? This road doesn't belong to your home, so you are allowed not to let others go?"
"Uh..." Bu Xiaotian was choked by her words, and he had nothing to say. He had to speed up his pace, trying to get rid of her. Even if he was just walking, it was not something that ordinary people could catch up with.
But Bu Xiaotian soon discovered that no matter how fast he walked, Mo Wen followed him unhurriedly. It seemed that this girl disguised as a man was not an ordinary person.
In this way, the two of them walked until it was getting dark. Bu Tian found an inn to rest for the night before continuing on his journey. Mo Wen also stayed at that inn, which was right next to Bu Xiaotian's room.
There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Bu Xiaotian got up, washed up, and had breakfast. Then he went to the inn counter and said to the shopkeeper: "Top shopkeeper, pay the bill."
"Okay, a total of four denarii." The shopkeeper looked down at the account book, plucked at the abacus a few more times, and then reported the number.
"Why is it so expensive for me to stay alone for one night and eat two meals? Shopkeeper, is this a shady shop?" When Bu Xiaotian heard the price quoted by the shopkeeper, he suddenly felt something was wrong and couldn't help but ask.
