The hotel lobby is dimly lit.
The waiter is serving food.
cahjA2v A plate of sheepskin filigree, a pot of fish in milk soup, and a pot of elbows, steaming hot.
Although the rain outside has stopped, the rain and cold air are getting stronger and stronger, as if autumn has entered winter with just one rain. The lobby of the inn is in sharp contrast to the cold night outside. The wooden stairs leading to the second floor can be heard.
Footsteps.
Two Taoists, one brought a fox, the other brought a cat, and a warrior came down from upstairs. "You three, the dishes are ready."
The guy smiled and greeted them.
"Bake another mutton soup and sift two bowls of wine for me. It's a bit cold today. Warm yourself up." Luo Monk said. "Okay!"
The three of them sat down at the table. They had just walked along a wet stone road.
Fortunately, the section of road near the county seat is paved with gravel. After the rainwater has soaked through, it will be easier to walk.
As Luo Seng said, there are many merchants here outside the county town. Whether it is hotels, inns or restaurants and shops, there is no shortage of them all.
Now that they had money in their pockets, they found a pretty good inn, not only requested three upper rooms, but also asked the innkeeper to prepare a good meal. When they sat down to eat, they were immediately satisfied.
It is said that Taoist people do not care about money, and that money is something external to the body, but with a slightly richer wallet, staying in a good hotel during the trip, and having a good meal after being caught in the rain, it feels really different. Especially if the money is not stolen.
If you don’t rob it, you will gain peace of mind and use it with peace of mind.
"The wine is here! The soup will be waiting for a while!"
The waiter came up with two bowls of wine, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "Our wine is brewed by ourselves. No other family is allowed to make wine. They all come from us! We also have strength in this wine. Drink one bowl."
The body of a good man will warm up immediately and he will not be cold all night long."
"The weather has changed too quickly."
Luo Monk picked up one of the bowls of wine and pointed to the other bowl of wine to Lin Jue while talking.
"Isn't that right? The sun came out a few days ago, and it was a bit like autumn. It's been raining these past few days, and it's like winter again!" the waiter responded.
"It will get warmer in a few days, and it will rain for a few more days, and it will be winter completely." Lin Jue also said to Luo Monk, "I am too drunk, and I have to meditate at night.
I won’t drink anymore.”
"Ouch! Does the Taoist master know how to read the sky?" the waiter asked in surprise. "A little bit more familiar with it."
"Then you have to see if the weather in the next few days is as the Taoist priest said." The waiter said.
"The weather often changes, and there is no fixed number. Even if there is a fixed number, it cannot withstand the changes. I can't say for sure, but it is roughly like this." Lin Jue said and looked at him again, "Isn't it like this most of the time?" "This is the case.
That's true."
At this time, the soup in the kitchen was not ready yet, so the waiters had nothing to do, so they were happy to chat with them. Luo Monk took this opportunity to ask:
"We came here for the first time, but we heard on the road that there is a green narcissus here, which can lead people to heaven to become gods. Is it true?" "Ouch..."
When the boy heard this, he became silent.
Obviously he is not as talkative as the waiter at the inn in Qingyan County. "Bang! Gulu..."
Several coins flew up from the warrior's hand, landed on the empty table next to him, and formed a line in a circle. Under the light, the warrior's face had a vicissitude of life, and his expression was calm:
"The man said that everyone in Fanghua County knows about this matter, don't you know it alone?" The implication is that you can ask others even if you don't tell them.
"It's not that I don't know, it's just that I don't dare to say it!" Although the guy said this, he also showed a look of embarrassment, but he reached out and took the few copper plates and spread them in his hands. "Why don't you dare to say it? Aren't they gods?
?”
"They used to say they were gods, but some time ago, a censor from the imperial court came here and said that they were not gods, but monsters. He said that those people did not ascend to heaven, but were killed." The waiter said with a face.
He couldn't help showing a bit of fear, and lowered his voice, "How dare you say so casually?"
"Is this happening? Which one do you believe?"
"The villain is just an innkeeper, who can be trusted? He just wants to live his own life."
"Smart approach." Luo Monk nodded, paused, and then asked, "Now that things like this have happened, no one should dare to go there to ask for immortality anymore, right?" "Why not?"
"Is there anyone who dares to go here?"
"There are not as many as before, but there are still some." The waiter answered truthfully, "I only went to see it last month when I was a child." "Huh?" Luo Monk couldn't help being surprised, "Are people here so convinced?"
"No matter what, there are some." The guy said the same thing, but his expression was a little strange and he didn't say it bluntly. Then he said, "You will know when you go and see it." "I just want to see it! Can you give me some directions?"
"
The waiter shook his hand, and the copper plate in his hand flew up and down, making a series of crisp sounds.
"You naughty guy!"
Luo Monk just smiled and didn't care about him.
With a flick of his thumb, without any other movement on his hand, a few coins flew up again and fell into the hands of the clerk. "What a skill, sir!"
The guy immediately became happy.
"On the fifteenth day of every month, when you go out, go to the right, first in the direction of Chenxi County. After walking forty miles, you will see a cliff. Turn to the right and take a small road. Then walk on the mountain road for more than ten miles and you will be there. It's okay if you don't remember.
There will be a lot of people on the road sometimes, just follow them."
The guy paused as he spoke:
"Today is the tenth day of the lunar month. There are still a few days until the fifteenth day. If you are still living in the shop, I can come and call you then." "Okay!"
Luo Monk agreed neatly.
The little junior sister couldn't help but look at her senior brother, and when she saw that he didn't object, she couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart.
When they were on the road, they stayed in temples wherever they could. If they couldn't stay overnight, it was common to sleep in the wilderness. Occasionally they stayed in hotels, mostly thatch shops and carriage shops, and they only stayed for one night. It was nothing like this time.
Staying in a good inn for several days?
Is this how rich people feel when they spend money? Why do I feel so uncomfortable?
The junior sister felt a little distressed and had to frantically plan the rice. There was a shout from the kitchen.
The waiter then went to serve the soup.
A pot of mutton soup, with a thin layer of mutton on top and sliced ​​white radish on the bottom, which looks very shiny.
The little junior sister just finished cooking, picked up the spoon, and without being polite, opened the top layer of meat and helped herself to a big bowl of white radish and soup. "Junior sister, eat more meat, and have a good rest here these two days.
, I’ll go over and have a look in a few days.”
"I know!"
The junior sister held the bowl and buried her head in it, sipping the soup. She finished the meal quickly, and Lin Jue went to pay the bill.
The little junior sister was about to turn around and go upstairs to rest when he stopped her again and handed over a small porcelain bottle not much bigger than her thumb. This is the second senior brother’s favorite small bottle to hold precious elixirs. “Eat it.
.”
The junior sister took it out of habit. Before she even looked down, she knew what it was just by feeling the mysterious aura. It was the extremely precious Lingyuan Pill.
"Senior brother, this is..."
"Don't ask so many questions. I'll ask the waiter to boil water and bring it to your room later. Take a hot bath before eating. Eat well, practice well, and have a good sleep." "Okay!"
The junior sister then took the bottle and walked upstairs.
Caili jumped up the stairs behind her and followed her upstairs. Lin Jue and Hu Hu also returned to the room.
Needless to say, this nice room is just different. In addition to a large bed, a table with eight immortals and four benches, a washstand and a clothes drying rack are all available, and there are even some ornaments. In addition, the free space in the room is completely enough.
Jue continued to play the game of throwing the ball with Fuyao.
“Spacious…”
Lin Jue muttered something and felt comfortable, lit the night lamp, put it on the table, and then picked up the wood carving knife. "Shasha..."
Sawdust fell on the ground.
The fox sat next to him obediently, watching him turn dead wood into magic, his eyes sparkling. There was one thing worth celebrating—
Among the four Jianghu people and the three trappers who are willing to follow him this time, two of them are very good at using bows. They may not be as good as the former hunter who was a good archer. They should also be better than the one who lives at this time.
The man next door to me, Mr. Luo, who had unparalleled swordsmanship, was better.
Lin Jue chose the two of them first.
In fact, I have been helped a lot by that archer before.
Eating and drinking, meditating and sleeping, carving bean soldiers, talking about magic with my junior sister, playing with foxes, and watching the business travelers coming and going from the window below. The few days passed quickly. On the morning of September 15th, it was just dawn.
"Tuk tuk...
The innkeeper knocked on their door. Then he said in a thick voice:
"Heroes! Taoists! Fairies! The big team going to the Immortal Platform is here! If you want to go, just follow them!" This guy also talks about credibility.
Lin Jue just stood up and wiped his face, and was about to push the window to look out, when he saw the fox jumping to the window, pushed the window open, then sat by the window and looked back at him,
"Thank you!"
Lin Jue rubbed the fox's head and looked down.
Sure enough, there was a large and mighty crowd.
I couldn't see clearly in my sleep, but I saw some people carrying firecrackers and incense candles, some carrying sacrifices and tributes, some leading mules and horses, and some even sitting on chopsticks, going back and forth from the left to the right. At first glance, it seemed that
I thought it was a temple fair in the city, and these people were there to pay homage to the gods.
But it seems pretty much the same.
"Tuk tuk..."
"knew.
Lin Jue quickly went to wash his face and rinse his mouth.
It's just that Lin Jue and his junior sister now have a lot of luggage, mainly Lin Jue's things. Packing it up is quite time-consuming, so Luo Jie whistles at the door and steams cakes waiting for them. By the time they finish packing, the large team has already gone away.
"Don't worry, they are all going in that direction. They are not walking fast. Let's just chase them." Luo Jie handed over one or two steamed cakes as big as his face, "Eat while walking." "Okay!"
The rent payment had been settled and the three of them went out directly.
Two Taoists took out a piece of paper donkey from their arms:
"The donkey appears."
In the hazy early morning, two gray donkeys appeared at the door of the inn, and two Taoists put bamboo baskets on them.
The waiter behind me had just walked out and wanted to ask them if they wanted to bring some incense and candles. Seeing this, he was stunned.
When they arrived at the inn a few nights ago, it was already dark and the inn was closed. When he heard a knock on the door and opened the door, there were only three of them, a horse, a fox and a cat outside the door.
I'm still wondering how these two Taoists brought the luggage in two large bamboo baskets.
"So that's it."
The guy couldn't help mumbling to himself in a daze.
There was a sound of hoofbeats.
By the time he came to his senses, the three of them had already walked into the morning mist, and their figures gradually disappeared.
"Hiss!"
The guy shuddered.
Could these two people be immortals?
With eyes full of thought, he immediately put down the rag and made a decision to go take a look himself today.
Chapter completed!
