Those who can afford to open an inn in the world of cultivation are all powerful and well-connected people, and their cultivation in the foundation-building stage may not even be considered in the eyes of others.
And Chen Mo is a cautious person. After thinking about it, he really doesn't have the courage to rely on his cultivation to ask the shopkeeper to move a room for him.
Although he knew very well that the onlookers outside were eager to get back the face he had just lost in front of the woman from the inn.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Mo said: "Since there are no vacancies, I will serve a few dishes, sit for a while and then leave.
"...There must be some, some!"
The shopkeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked the waiter to come over and serve Chen Mo, "Guest officer, please come in." As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him also made a sound of regret, with disappointment clearly written on their faces. It seemed that Chen Mo betrayed their trust without making a big fuss, and wasted a period of precious time.
The crowd of good friends came and went quickly. After a while, the calm was restored in front of the inn.
The dishes were all delicious and delicious. Chen Mo took a quick taste and asked for another pot of wine. He filled it up while thinking about what had just happened.
The female cultivator named Zhong Qing is too nosy. To say the least, even if she and Lin Yuqin have anything, it is the relationship between the two of them. Indifference or enthusiasm are not your turn. Make irresponsible remarks!
This was good, she thought she had neglected Lin Yuqin, and in order to vent her anger, she let her face fall into disgrace, but she couldn't say anything angry. It was really as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
"What a bad luck to meet such a girl!"
Chen Mo cursed secretly in his heart. The more he drank, the angrier he became, but he couldn't show any emotion on his face. He thought to himself: Just watch, she won't apologize even if she comes back. In her heart, she is not wrong. If she is more sincere, On the contrary, he was at a disadvantage.
If he didn't trust Lin Yuqin, Chen Mo would have suspected that he was deliberately trying to intimidate him. But one thing must be admitted, the friendship between the two people is very good, and it would be impossible for anyone else to do this.
Now that the matter had happened, it was useless for Chen Mo to scold him. He just drank alone. When the bottle was half full, the two familiar figures also came over and sat down opposite Chen Mo without asking for permission.
Lin Yuqin asked tentatively: "Brother Chen, are you still angry?"
Chen Mo waved his hand, looked at Zhong Qing, and said as calmly as possible: "It's just a misunderstanding. Let's make it clear."
"Well," Zhong Qing's nose buzzed reluctantly, and the depressing atmosphere eased. Lin Yuqin quickly changed the subject and said: I just asked the shopkeeper again, and he said there are no more vacancies.
Chen Mo was also about to bring up this topic, so he answered: "I asked, but it's not possible. It's really not possible, so I can only go out and spend the night.
All fools know that a comfortable room is good, but there are no vacancies in the inn, and it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
Lin Yuqin and Zhong Qing came together and whispered for a while. After a while, Lin Yuqin said again:
"Brother Chen, don't bother me. Zhong Qing and I have agreed that you can stay in my room, and we can just share the same room, okay?"
Chen Mo pondered for a moment and said, "We'll talk about this later. Maybe there will be people checking out later, so don't be in a hurry."
Even if they were sincere, Chen Mo couldn't agree directly, so he adopted the procrastination technique. If Lin Yuqin mentioned this matter again later, he would just give in and agree half-heartedly.
But having said that, Chen Mo was more interested in another thing, so he asked the two of them: "Junior sister Lin, Miss Zhong, haven't you noticed that there are a lot of cultivators in the inn, and they are all in pairs looking like Taoist couples? This is how the same thing?"
Hearing this, Zhong Qing's expression suddenly became strange, and then he turned his head to look at her in surprise.
Lin Yuqin looked at him with a blank expression and said, "...Why are you looking at me like that? I don't know."
Zhong Qing said belatedly: "Oh! You have been staying behind closed doors during this period. Maybe you don't know yet. I thought you knew."
Lin Yuqin also said curiously: "What's going on?"
Seeing that Chen Mo was also listening attentively, Zhong Qing adjusted her posture and said seriously: "They are all here to find the exquisite mirror."
"Exquisite mirror?"
"It is rumored that it was a treasure accidentally lost by an immortal king. When it fell into the lower world, it transformed into a well called Linglong Well. It is said that if you stand at the mouth of the well and look down, no matter what the cultivator's cultivation level is, you can see him ( Her) marriage in this life."
"...Is there such a wonderful thing in the world?"
Chen Mo was surprised and sighed: "I saw that the monks who came back didn't look too happy on their faces. I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Zhong Qing couldn't help but take a high look at Chen Mo. Although this man was mediocre in appearance, his concentration was indeed beyond ordinary people. He nodded slightly and said:
"There is only one real Linglong Well, but there are many fake ones. Regardless of whether it is true or false, the cost of taking a look is five years of life. Who can feel comfortable?"
When Chen Mo heard this, he suddenly realized. No wonder he has only seen young monks in the past few hours. The mature monks all regard longevity as their treasure. Who dares to waste their lives in such a way?
Besides, you are already quite old, so what’s the point of being married or not? Maybe when you reach that age, you will take it lightly. Only these children who are at the beginning of the world of cultivation will pay attention to this matter.
Chen Mo was as silent as his name after hearing it, but Lin Yuqin had something to say: "Sister Zhong Qing, how long will it take for Linglong Well to disappear?"
"It's almost there. How many more days should it take?"
Chen Mo heard something was wrong. He felt that Lin Yuqin was a little moved, so he tried to dissuade her and said: "Just smile, five years of life is not a small amount, if you really take a look at it, you know how many fake people you are going to meet." Well?"
"Yes." Zhong Qing also nodded and said: "You, me, Brother Chen, we are all in the early stages of foundation building. It is not easy to practice to this level. You should use your longevity energy on the blade. Don't try it, Sister Qin."
"Twenty years!"
Lin Yuqin looked at Chen Mo, waved two fingers in front of him, and said: "I will only watch it four times. It would be best if it succeeds. If I don't see it, I won't mention it again, okay?"
Chen Mo said helplessly: "You don't need to ask my opinion? If you really think about it, just do it."
"Is twenty years okay?" Lin Yuqin asked Chen Mo again in a low voice.
"Sister Qin, you make the decision yourself!"
At this embarrassing moment, Zhong Qing stepped forward to help Chen Mo: "He is not your father, why do you keep asking him?"
Chen Mo always felt that Zhong Qing was targeting him, and even if he came out of the siege, it would sound weird, so he said: "Okay, okay, it's a father's and son's. The food is cold. Is there anything else you want to eat?"
The topic had been diverted and it was impossible to bring it up again. Seeing the two of them shaking their heads, Chen Mo took out the lotus cake he bought in Zhanwu County and said, "It looks pretty good. You guys can try how it tastes. I happened to be eating it at the same time." Let’s talk about Mr. Shao again.”
The lifelike lotus flower was presented on the plate, and the pink filling flowing out of the center exuded a sweet smell. The petals trembled and were densely packed layer by layer. It strongly aroused the curiosity of the two people and couldn't help but let them taste it. .
The two of them each took one, and after eating a few mouthfuls, they remembered what Chen Mo said. Zhong Qing said sarcastically to him: "Since it doesn't matter to you, why do you ask about other people's affairs?"
"If it's not convenient, forget it. I'm not too curious." Chen Mo said with a smile.
"Hey, there is a cultivator who lives next door. He is probably a disciple of some small sect. I happened to bump into him when I was out that day. He said that we were destined to get to know each other, but she happened to see him again, so he started talking nonsense!"
Lin Yuqin explained hurriedly, but for some reason, she felt a little happy in her heart.
After hearing this, Chen Mo continued to ask: "What next?"
"Then she said she was in her nineties, and the guy was scared away." Zhong Qing spoke up for Lin Yuqin first: "How is it? Are you happy after hearing this? Are you satisfied?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Yuqin glared at Zhong Qing again. Chen Mo couldn't accept this sentence, so he stood up and changed the subject:
"You two can chat for a while longer, and I'll go ask if there are any vacancies."
"Don't go." Lin Yuqin also stood up and said, "I didn't ask, so let's just follow what we said before." "How can this be done?" Chen Mo shook his head and refused: "Brother Chen, don't go out!" Lin Yuqin gave him the steps again, and Chen Mo naturally resisted again, and then walked down obediently.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Chen, there is one more thing." Lin Yuqin said before leaving: "I seem to have seen Meng Qianqiu. She has also established a foundation, and she is in this inn."
"Meng Qianqiu?!"
After hearing this, Chen Mo's expression suddenly became unstable. Zhong Qing had also heard of this familiar name, and frowned and said, "I know her. She is said to be very powerful, but wasn't her arm cut off by someone?"
"That was a deception she used. I don't know how, but I saw both of her arms with my own eyes!"
Lin Yuqin said to the two of them in a low and mysterious voice: "I see there is a female cultivator who came with her. Her cultivation level is hard to see through. She should be in the pill formation stage. I'm guessing, I don't know if it's right. , Oops... Anyway, let’s be careful!”
"What are you careful about?"
"She is moody. If you see her, stay away from her and don't get yourself into trouble."
Zhong Qing nodded solemnly, and Chen Mo finally came to his senses: "Brother Chen, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yuqin asked doubtfully.
"It's okay, I thought of something else." Chen Mo forced a smile and said, "Let's go back and rest first."
