Chapter 118 A bowl of plain noodles (four thousand)

In the early morning, when the clerk of Liangguanglou pulled down the first door panel, he saw the young man standing in front of a shop across the street.

The guy didn't seem to be surprised by the scenery and just shook his head and smiled.

In the hall behind him, a man wearing a sapphire blue satin gown held a teapot in one hand and held it behind his back with the other. He strolled to the door and looked towards the opposite side.

"How many days is it now?"

The man moved the door panel without stopping.

"It's the fourth day."

The man took a sip of tea and sneered.

"The jade talisman hanging in Mingyu Pavilion has been here since my father's generation, and it is still here in my generation. Over the past year, how many people have been here to see it, and every one comes and goes. This hanging

I didn’t see what happened to Hong, but he polished the green bricks under the window."

The waiter smiled and said.

"No, even I have been working here for more than ten years. How can I never see that this door has lost its popularity?"

The man smacked his lips, spit out a piece of tea stem, and continued.

"There is an old saying that goes well, if you just talk and don't practice the fake moves, if it works, it will work, but if it doesn't work, it won't work. If it works if you just stick it there and look at it, I'm afraid there will be many missing stones in the world.

?"

Amid the waiter's laughter, the man in long gown turned around and entered the room.

"Hurry down the door and prepare to open. There are only a few days until the official day of the Fairy Club. I'm afraid there are more people. How the business will be this year depends on this!"

"Yes, yes, shopkeeper, don't worry, I will clean up and open the business immediately!"

"..."

The two of them suppressed their idle chatter. At this time, the young man was looking attentively at a jade slip in the window pane, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was secretly thinking about something in his heart, but was thinking hard to no avail.<

/p>

After another half an hour, seeing the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increasing, the young man shook his head and sighed softly. He bowed his hand to a middle-aged man behind the counter in the window, then turned around and left the shop, walking along the street.

Go on.

The middle-aged man bowed his head in return, but did not take it as a big deal and continued to go about his work with his head down.

There is no doubt that this young man is Lin Xiao.

When it came to the Anwuxian Association, Lin Xiao found that he was already concerned about it, but he didn't expect that Ni Jing, who came to report on his work, was even more concerned about it than he was.

Not only did they get the troops started and set out early, they didn't stop at all along the way. When they arrived at Zhushanfang City in the north of Anwu City, there were still seven or eight days left before the official day of the Fairy Fair.

The original doubts in Lin Xiao's mind about whether it was necessary to be in such a hurry were completely eliminated the moment he arrived - such a large-scale Immortal Sect event was truly unseen and unheard of, and it was not an exaggeration to even come so far in advance.

In the sky above Fangshi, which is as big as Fengchang City, three hundred-foot-long cloud ships, each flying three fang flags, are suspended in the sky, and dozens of large and small wind boats from dozens of sects are spread out and docked, and the flashing light shuttles between them.

It flickers on and off, and when viewed from a distance, it is a spectacular scene that blocks out the sky and the sun.

Later, Lin Xiao learned that a few days ago, the preliminary competition among the four disciplines of martial arts, magic, alchemy, and formation had begun, in order to determine the masters among them so that they could participate in the final martial arts performance on the day of the Immortal Association Ceremony.

So Lin Xiao, who originally wanted to pass the rest of his time by reading and practicing, immediately found work.

During the day, I traveled to various venues to watch the competitions, and in the evening, I reviewed the insights gained today. However, I lived a leisurely and comfortable life.

As for Shangguanxiao, Lin Xiao had completely given up the idea of ​​going to look for anyone. He thought to himself that he might as well forget it and wait for someone to come to the outer gate to find me.

That’s it.

Speaking of the large number of people, Lin Xiao was seriously worried about his daily life.

The reason why he has such an idea is not that he has high requirements, but that he has a lot of secrets. It is really not convenient to live under the same roof with others.

This matter depends on the wishes of Zhu Yunsong and Zhu Haoyi. The Zhu family also has real estate in Anwu City. They can live there as they please, so there is no need to crowd with others.

Regarding Zhu Yunsong's suggestion, Lin Xiao weighed it up and gave up. After all, such an act was too high-profile, and the dragons and snakes in Anwu City are mixed now, so don't cause unnecessary trouble for yourself.

However, the words of the Zhu family and his son gave Lin Xiao a wake-up call.

It is said that in the storage bag collected from the second son of the Huang family, Huang Yu, there were two house deeds to Anwu, the capital city.

If you don't live here and don't look at it, it's better to find Guan San'er and quietly sell it along with other properties on hand, rather than keeping it in your own hands and turning it into a pile of waste paper.

Just when Lin Xiao was slightly worried about his housing problem, Ni Jing waved his hand and directly granted Lin Xiao a separate courtyard at the outer gate of Zhonghanxi Mountain in Fang City for his use only.
p>

After this, Lin Xiao felt deeply that all his hard work in the past two years had really not been wasted. Apart from anything else, Mr. Ni still had the qualities of a gangster. After all, he could eat his own meat and let his "subordinates"

"Drink some soup, right?

Even the most famous Mingyu Pavilion Jade Talisman Hanging Red in Zhushanfang City was specifically mentioned by Ni Jing, asking Lin Xiao to come and see it no matter what.

But out of curiosity, just one glance made Lin Xiao stop here for four days in a row. Even now, he was walking freely in the market, but he still couldn't forget that little jade charm.<

/p>

To be fair, the effect of this jade talisman is not very overbearing. It is just that the "Rain Talisman" and the "Smoke Talisman" are superimposed on each other and complement each other to keep the water vapor in a short period of time.

But the difficulty is that the two talismans are formed in one stroke, connected end to end, and the space used is very small, only occupying about 20% of the upper end of the entire jade talisman.

"Lan", directly occupied.

The exquisiteness of its conception and the smoothness of its writing are naturally unparalleled in Lin Xiao's current vision of jade talismans.

Of course, this premise is also a method of describing Qi refining cultivation. It is not difficult to perform actions after building the foundation.

However, according to rumors in the world, this talisman was a red prize left by the first generation master of Mingyu Pavilion when he was at the peak of his Qi refining. Naturally, there are no senior masters who cross realms to do such controversial things.
p>

This went back and forth, and after a few hundred years, it became a famous scene in Zhushanfang City and spread widely.

Lin Xiao was walking along the street, thinking about the method of carving the jade talisman. When he was wandering around without knowing where to go, he was suddenly brought back to his thoughts by the aroma that penetrated his nose.

When I looked up, I couldn't help but burst into laughter. I thought to myself that I was used to hanging around in the city these days, and I was stained by the red dust. Why did I end up on the food street unknowingly?

It should be said that among this immortal sect, especially the Qi Refining monks who have not yet transformed from the mortal world, there are many gourmets who like fine wines and delicacies. Since the patrons have money, the store owners will naturally not give up on the fireworks of the mortal world, so all the merchants in various places

Indispensable is a place dedicated to eating.

But compared with the wide variety and grand scene, this restaurant street located in Zhushanfang City, the capital, is one of the top in the country.

At a glance, I could see the crowds of people on the long street, shoulder to shoulder, walking slowly. The banner flags on both sides are high or short, colorful, spreading into the distance. The shouts of southern and northern accents are like a ring, one after another, for fear that passers-by will hear.

I can’t get to my home.

In front of each door, people were coming in and out, it was very lively, steaming baskets of unknown things were stacked up high, and inexplicable porridge and soup were being warmed in a pot over low heat, making a brisk sound.

In the rising white mist, there are always three or five people gathered inside, picking and choosing for their early stomachs. When the mist dissipates, they have delicious food in their hands and shovel it into their mouths, looking extremely satisfied.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiao also smiled, thinking that since he had come, he would be in peace, why not find something to eat and sacrifice his own five internal organs temple first.

So he raised his feet and moved forward. In just a few breaths, he was swept into the crowd and disappeared.

Lin Xiao, who had already been dazzled by walking like this, was worrying about what to eat when he suddenly saw a "familiar" profile face on the second floor window of a noodle shop on the street.<

/p>

He looked at the banner and whispered, "A bowl of plain noodles? That's a good name..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to the side of the street, stepped on an unoccupied bench, yelled, "I'm sorry!", jumped up, and flew into the air with his clothes on.

"Ouch——!"

Several people around him turned sideways, and when they looked up again, Lin Xiao had already grabbed the window edge and squatted on the window frame.

Looking at the young man eating a bowl of plain noodles on the table in the elegant room, Lin Xiao smiled.

"The boss is so excited. In this elegant room, we can eat noodles by the window. The outside is bustling, but we can sit alone and peacefully inside."

Lou Xuan took a spoon and took a sip of the noodle soup, swallowed it leisurely without turning his head.

"I have always preferred silence to movement, but I am homeless and have no fixed place to live. I don't know whether it is destiny or something else. I finally got some free time, but I met you, the deacon..."

Lin Xiao shook his head and said: "Hey, this goes too far. It's strange to say that the last time we met was more than a month ago, but why do I feel that you and I are separated in Yinzhou, but it's just the same as yesterday? Could it be that

Fate?"

Lou Xuan laughed.

"Well, since we are destined to meet each other, why not sit down and have a bowl of noodles together?"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and smiled.

"Why is this so embarrassing? Since we are reunited after a long separation, why don't you invite me, Brother Lou?"

Lou Xuan stopped holding the chopsticks in his hand, turned to look at the person on the window, his eyes seemed a little shocked in the "one word".

"Oh? It's just a bowl of noodles. Seeing that Brother Lin is young and handsome, why is he so snobbish? As for our reunion, why didn't Brother Lin invite me?"

Lin Xiao squatted on the window frame and raised his hand to stop, then said.

"Brother Lou, don't you think it's wrong? If you and I have a relationship, what's the temporary gain or loss? If I eat your noodles today, I will naturally owe you a favor. When I pay it back in the future, will it be lighter than this bowl of plain noodles? So let's calculate it.
