Chapter 174: You have to pay for drinking

Before we knew it, it was a long time since then.

Everyone in the room did not go back to sleep, but waited for Chen Ci to come back. Chen Ci was not Bai Shu, and he would never stay at night.

"Old Master Leng, didn't you say that Lengjia Town is not far away, and it took less than half an hour to ride a horse." Guan Rushuang asked with some concern.

Leng Yu nodded and said, "That's right, our Lengjia Town is the only town in Gupei, not far from this inn."

"That shouldn't be done. It's been more than an hour now, and Junior Brother Chen should be back, too." Guan Rushuang said strangely.

"Don't worry, Chen Ci is going to have something to do, it's futile if we go. He will definitely not have anything to do, just wait patiently." Xu Muling looked relaxed, and his words showed confidence in Chen Ci.

Xu Muling has been famous for a long time, and Chen Ci is said to have just entered the realm of Breaking Void. However, in many cases, Xu Muling cares about Chen Ci's opinions very much. Along the way, she and Chen Ci, one after another, one behind, one after another, one still, almost giving everyone an unbreakable sense of security. Especially when Chen Ci is here, everyone can see Chen Ci's figure as long as they look back, no matter whether there are poor mountains and rivers in front or storms, they will not be afraid to continue walking.

Bai Shu also knows that Chen Ci is powerful. The less you talk, the stronger your ability is, not to mention that Chen Ci is always polite to speak, and he is very good at speaking. He has real skills in his hands.

"Please make me two pots of tea, and then you don't have to wait. When our companions come back, I will help you turn off the lights and close the store." The waiter of the shop had allowed Leng Yu's hot water before, but he was not a sarcastic person. Bai Shu naturally had to be a little polite when he spoke to him.

The waiter in the shop said repeatedly that he didn't dare and insisted on waiting with Bai Shu and others. Bai Shu didn't force him to go back and make tea first.

After Chen Ci left the door, he walked for a distance with his horse, and he was still thinking about what Bai Shu said in the end.

The smaller the common people, the more they should consider what they say, and should not listen to them indirectly.

Taixu Temple has always been the orthodox world. In Chen Ci's mind, Taoist temple is the most sacred place. So after Chen Ci heard Leng Yu's words, he immediately went to Rumu Temple in Lengjia Town, and met the Qingzhu, who claimed to be the master of the temple.

But Bai Shu said something good, and Leng Yu was very likely to say some added fuel to the fire in order to highlight his misery. At that time, he would not be able to take action against Qingzhu.

Chen Ci calmed down, turned over and rushed to Lengjia Town.

Lengjia Town is next to the mountain, and the temperature on the mountain is low. From a distance, the green mountains are already showing signs of white hair.

Chen Ci rode into the town, and the north wind suddenly became much smaller. There was mountain fog around the town. Once he entered Lengjia Town, he couldn't see the distance clearly when he looked up. The surroundings were hazy.

The quiet people in the town were just at night, and there was no sound. The long lights that were not turned off all night were still hanging. The streets were deserted and even a dog could not be seen.

Chen Ci walked slowly on a horse for a while and finally found a tavern with a door open.

There was only one young man in the tavern, baking around the stove and simmering wine and meat beside the stove. It seemed extremely comfortable to eat and drink.

"Oh, Master, you are here, but you want to buy wine?" The young man stood up and greeted while rubbing the greasy fingers that had just grabbed the meat with a cloth.

Chen Ci nodded, walked around the tavern, pointed to a small jar of wine and said, "Just pack this bar for me."

"Okay, the waiter skillfully picked up the wine jar, wiped off the outer layer of the sealing mud with special tools, and placed the wine jar in a hanging belt woven by bamboo, and handed it to Chen Ci.

Chen Ci didn't answer, and then paid the money and said, "I'm going to do something. You can help me with it first and get it when I come back."

The waiter looked embarrassed and said, "Our small shop is about to close."

Chen Ci shook his head and said, "It won't take long."

The waiter reluctantly agreed.

Chen Ci learned this trick from Bai Shu. No matter where Bai Shu went, he would ask the vendors about the local matters. Before asking, he would buy more or less some of the items sold by the vendors.

According to Bai Shu, only by taking care of other people's business and asking other people's questions will the people answer carefully and obtain the most real and effective news.

Now that Chen Ci has bought wine, he is about to start asking questions.

"Why is your town so deserted? I have been searching for a long time, and you are the only one who has the door open."

The young man smiled bitterly and said, "The location of our town is not good. If you can move out, you will naturally be deserted. What's more, we are all ordinary people, and we are no more noble than you. We work from sunrise and rest from sunset. There is nothing to do at night, and we go to bed when it gets dark."

Chen Ci nodded and asked again: "I heard that there is a Mu Ruguan in Lengjia Town. The owner of the temple is called Qingzhu. Is this true?"

The young man said sadly: "Don't mention this matter. Qingzhu relies on his ability to be domineering in the town on weekdays. He is a foreigner and often causes trouble for us."

The young man was so excited that he saw Chen Ci listening carefully that he vomited all his resentment and said, "There is a carpenter in our Lengjia Town who, because he is next to Mu Ruguan, does some coffin work every day to make a living. Qingzhu saw it and felt bad. He actually burned the house of Mr. Leng Yu with a fire, leaving his grandparents and grandchildren to lose their residence. It's a sin!" The young man's words were full of hatred for Qingzhu.

Chen Ci felt relieved after hearing this, but Bai Shu was just worried.

Chen Ci said, "How can Mu Ruguan go?"

The young man replied, "Follow the road, I saw a big locust tree, went east into the alley, and I arrived."

Chen Ci nodded and was about to leave, but the young man advised him: "Don't go to Taoist Qingzhu to find his bad luck. He has some real skills. Often, three or five people together are no match for him."

Chen Ci smiled and said, "Wait for me for a while, and I will come back soon to get the wine."

After Chen Ci said that, he left the tavern and rode his horse down the road.

When Chen Ci left, the young man took the wine prepared for Chen Ci, tore open the sealing mud, then whipped the wine jar into his throat with a big mouthful, turned around and sat back on the stove, humming a little song and eating the meat.

"Customer, call the east side."

"Gu Pei, it's snowing all over the sky."

"He also needs to pay for drinking."

"Eat people, start from scratch."

He had wine and meat in his mouth, but the lyrics were unclear, but his eyes were shiny. He looked at the horses who were standing at the door of the tavern.

In the small inn, two pots of tea had been drunk, and the taste became lighter after replacing the water. The tea was a little bitter, which made Bai Shu frown.

"Senior Sister Xu, isn't something wrong?" Bai Shu dipped his fingers into the cold tea in the teacup, smeared it on the middle of his eyebrows, and rubbed it hard for a few times. Xu Muling also became a little nervous from the initial ease, and said to him: "It's something wrong. He should have been back for so long."

"Hongdou, ask me a question?" Bai Shu touched Hongdou's head, which was a little drowsy. The child was always sleepy.

Hongdou then woke up a little, gave Guan Rushuang the money to the hexagram and asked her to take charge of the hexagram.

"Sister Guan cares about Senior Brother Chen Ci the most. If you come to the master of the hexagram, you must be more accurate."

Guan Rushuang did not refuse, and dig a divination according to the method Hongdou said.

Hongdou looked at the hexagram for a long time, and suddenly said, "I want to go out and take a look at the astrological signs."

Hongdou said, accompanied by Guan Rushuang, and when he came back, he said with a loss: "Today is Xingyin Ri, you can't see anything. The hexagram is also very chaotic, and I can't speculate anything." Hongdou looked frustrated and fiddled with the hexagram money in anger.

Bai Shu comforted him and said, "It's okay, forget it if you can't see it, Chen Ci can't have any problems."

After Bai Shu said that, he pulled Wu Shaobai to the corner and asked him, "What do you think?"

Wu Shaobai is Tianjizi. He is familiar with Tianji and is wise in numerology, so he will naturally not make mistakes.

"Senior Brother Chen Ci has a strange fate and cannot make any mistakes, but I have always felt a little uneasy in my heart." Wu Shaobai said with some concern.

"Why?" Bai Shu didn't understand very much.

Wu Shaobai glanced at Bai Shu and said, "Because after I understand Tianzang, I can see any life, but your life is not good."

Bai Shu's expression changed and he remembered the words that the audience had said.

"After seeing the sword in Jean Yun, I can't see his numerology clearly."

"But you are different. When you are still breastfeeding, I can't see your numerology clearly."

Wu Shaobai hesitated for a moment and said, "And as long as the people who have been by your side for a long time, their numerology is more or less blurred, which makes it difficult for me to grasp. Since I arrived in Gupei, I have a bad premonition.

The matter between Yueli and Liu'er was told by Wu Shaobai that Wu Shaobai had a bad premonition this time, so Bai Shu naturally would not ignore it. Seeing that he had arrived at the doorstep and after the hardship of the boat and the car, no one wanted to cause trouble.

It’s scary, it’s scary, and those right and wrong come to you.

"What should I do now?" Bai Shu wanted to hear Wu Shaobai's opinion.

Wu Shaobai pondered for a moment and said, "We should wait first and wait for Senior Brother Chen Ci to come back. Now, as long as we don't separate, there will be no problems, but as long as we separate, the strength will be dispersed, which may become a burden for Senior Brother Chen Ci."

"But what if the chant cannot come back?" Bai Shu asked Wu Shaobai.

Wu Shaobai was silent.

"Look at the people in this room, do you seem to be willing to do someone waiting?" Bai Shu said with a wry smile.

Wu Shaobai looked at Guan Rushuang and others and understood Bai Shu's concerns.

"What are you two muttering?" Yuan Youqing looked at Bai Shu and Wu Shaobai with regret. She was most annoyed by the two men to get together and say some private words.

"You guys discuss it slowly. I'm going to find Senior Brother Chen Ci." Yuan Youqing was the first to stand up at this time.

"I'll accompany you." Although Bai Shu asked Wu Shaobai's opinion, Bai Shu still didn't believe in fate. He had to go head-on with all difficulties and dangers. If he took a step back, he would lose in his momentum.

If Chen Ci doesn’t come back, Bai Shu will definitely not be able to sleep.
