Zhou Tian's loud voice resounded throughout the tavern, and all the guests looked at him in surprise and strange eyes, as if his behavior made many people uncomfortable.
Zhou Tian glanced around and thought to himself: What are you looking at? Aren't you all here like this? Are you looking down on me and afraid that I won't be able to drink?
Lao Xu, who was outside the tavern, slapped his forehead with his hand and waved his finger in front of Hu Sanhai and the waiter.
"Hey, you guys..."
Later, when he walked into the tavern and saw Zhou Tian, he shook his head and sighed.
"Get up, you don't need to drink this wine."
Lao Xu looked at the other guests in the tavern, awkwardly held Zhou Tian's arm and walked out of the tavern.
Under the stairs, Zhou Tian was a little puzzled when he saw the waiter shrugging his shoulders and seeming to be snickering.
"Old Xu, why don't you let me drink it? It's just wine. Besides, if you don't drink this wine, how can you enter Xiyun Palace?"
When Hu Sanhai saw Zhou Tian's serious look, he raised his head and laughed. Zhou Tian on the steps was so laughed at that he felt chills all over his body and twitched.
"He? What does he mean?"
"You must be the new disciple of the academy. According to seniority, I should be considered your senior brother."
When Zhou Tian saw the waiter just now, he felt that this person had a dignified appearance, neat clothes, and a handsome face. He was not much older than himself. After thinking about it, he naturally did not match the waiter in the tavern.
"Are you from the academy too? Then this tavern is..."
"Haha, I am the 32nd generation disciple of the academy, and you should be the 33rd generation. My name is Mo Xuan, and this tavern was specially built here by the old master to welcome new students to come here to pick up their belongings.
"
"It's just for convenience. As for drinking and not being able to finish three bowls, it's nothing more than..."
Before Mo Xuan could finish speaking, Hu Sanhai rushed to answer.
"I just want to see your drunken character. It was determined by the academy's wine fairy Mu Zimu. But if you don't know how to drink, you have no reference value. Generally speaking, students from various sects who have passed the exam as long as they can drink will
When encountering this tavern, they will make a lot of fools of themselves, and some of them will be eliminated early and return home directly."
After Zhou Tian listened, he looked at Lao Xu who was standing next to him and thought to himself: The academy actually checks the wine list? This is the first time I have heard of it. It’s really strange.
He frowned and asked, "Old Xu, you already knew this?"
Xu Qingnian nodded like an eggplant beaten by frost, looking shameless.
"Let me tell you, if Xiyun Palace is a hundred miles away, why would it rely on a tavern to find out the truth?"
Mo Xuan was wearing a blue shading robe with a scimitar on his waist. Zhou Tian found it very interesting after seeing it.
"It is said that we in Beimo use fists to cultivate qi. I heard my father say that there are various ways to cultivate qi in the world. I never thought that except for a few people in Xuantian Sect, they can use swords and guns, and the hidden weapons used by Haotian Pavilion.
, and now I see the scimitar again."
After Zhou Tian said this, Hu Sanhai and Mo Xuan burst into laughter, and Xu Qingnian also laughed.
"Young Master, the way to cultivate Qi depends not only on what kind of weapons the person wears. Weapons can be used for self-defense or as accessories. Those people in Xuantian Sect, huh! They are all sensationalists, except for your father.
, Bei Mo’s real ability is to cultivate Qi with fists, there is no doubt about it.”
"And Haotian Pavilion is not focused on cultivating qi. Those three sharp blades are nothing more than hidden weapons, not worth mentioning."
"And the senior brother Mo Xuan in front of you is the one who truly cultivates Qi with a sword."
"Mo Xuan, show it to your junior brother and let him see the strength of our academy."
Hu Sanhai had a motherly smile on his face, as if Mo Xuan's skills were taught to him by him.
I saw him taking off the scimitar from his waist, rubbing the handle of the knife vigorously with both hands, and then it started spinning continuously.
"Knife up!"
Then Mo Xuan pointed the index and middle fingers of his right hand into the dark sky. As if he could understand people's words, the scimitar quickly flew into the air and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Not even a shadow could be seen.
Zhou Tian finally opened his eyes, his eyes widened and he kept staring.
"Where's the knife?"
Then, not long after, Mo Xuan shouted again with two fingers towards the ground under his feet.
"The knife falls!"
With a whooshing sound, as if it passed by Zhou Tian's ear, the scimitar instantly returned to Mo Xuan's feet, half a foot into the ground.
Then Mo Xuan pulled it out and hung it around his waist again.
"Junior brother, you are showing off your shame!"
Mo Xuan was a very honest person and very polite on weekdays. Zhou Tian saw this and admired him in his heart.
"Old Xu, what is the realm of Senior Brother Mo Xuan?"
"Oh, junior brother, just ask me directly. There is no need to ask the two seniors."
"I am the second level of Qi Zun!"
After Zhou Tian heard this, his mind buzzed, whether he was surprised or confused.
"You are about the same age as me, but you have already reached the level of Qi Zun!"
"But, how many levels of Qi Zun are there?"
Looking at Zhou Tian's confused expression, Mo Xuan took out a stone from his sleeve.
"Junior brother, this is a test stone. You can evaluate your own realm and protect yourself in times of crisis. As for how to use it, the old master and several senior brothers will teach you when you get to the academy."
"As for the Qi Zun you just asked about also having realms, that is inevitable. There will be realms below each level, and everything is like that."
Zhou Tian listened to his story very carefully and kept nodding his head. It was the first time for him to hear a lot of knowledge and vocabulary. He was curious and became more and more excited as he listened.
"Hey, don't talk anymore. It's already late at night. Go upstairs and go to bed early. The most important thing is to leave for Xiyun Palace tomorrow. You can talk about it on the way then."
Hu Sanhai yawned sleepily, stretched his waist, and looked around. There were fewer people in the town, and the acrobatics were all gone.
Lao Xu also echoed.
"Yes, young master, please rest early. The days are long and there will be many opportunities for communication in the future."
But at this time, Zhou Tian didn't feel sleepy at all. On the contrary, he met Mo Xuan and felt that he had endless things to say.
But no matter how excited I was, I had to take into account the feelings of others, so I could only listen to the two old men's words. After walking into the tavern, I casually found a room on the second floor and fell asleep.
As for this tavern, the first floor was only for drinking. After a while, all the guests in the tavern were gone.
Mo Xuan took a look and saw that the guests in the tavern were already gone, so he took a few boards and wanted to rest.
At this time, a drunken man broke in, with unkempt hair and dirty clothes. The fishy smell made Mo Xuan, who originally liked cleanliness, a little irritable.
"Sir, my business is closed. Please go elsewhere."
After that, I wanted to push the drunk man out.
"What? Why is it closed? You... your pub never closes every day. Why is it so strange today? Could it be that you have done something shady?"
The drunk man was muttering crazy words. Mo Xuan couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to kick this man out.
At this time, Zhou Tian ran out.
"What's wrong? Senior brother!"
Zhou Tian saw Mo Xuan entangled with someone, and asked with concern upstairs.
Mo Xuan smiled at him, and then sternly shouted to the drunkard: "Get out of here quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Zhou Tian looked carefully and jumped downstairs.
"who are you?"
After Zhou Tian looked at it, he felt that the person in front of him was very suspicious. Although he looked embarrassed and smelled of alcohol, his hands were very neat.
Although he looks poor, there is a shiny pendant hanging vaguely around his waist.
Zhou Tian, who is good at observation, can tell at a glance that this person is definitely not a good person.
So he lay down next to Mo Xuan's ear and whispered: "There is definitely something wrong with this person."
The drunk man looked at the extremely handsome Zhou Tian in front of him, rolled his eyes, and saw the wordless waistband on his waist, and smiled slightly.
His hands slowly reached behind his back.
"Junior brother, you don't have the blessing of Qi Hai. You go first. I want to see what this person is going to do?"
Zhou Tian was injured along the way, and Mo Xuan's sword skills were amazing, so he should be more than enough to deal with this person, so he immediately took a few steps back.
Just as Mo Xuan was about to take out the scimitar from behind, he heard a scream, interrupting the whole atmosphere.
"Tian'er, what are you doing?
Xu Qingnian suddenly opened his mouth, causing the drunk man to shake his body. He turned around and a black mist disappeared.
“People from Haotian Pavilion!
Xu Qingnian wanted to chase after him, but Hu Sanhai also followed.
"Stop chasing it. Haotian Pavilion's escape technique cannot be pursued by ordinary people. If you are not at the level of Qi King, you can't even hope to catch it."
"Go back and sleep. As long as the people in Haotian Pavilion escape, they won't come back again in a short time."
When Zhou Tian heard what Hu Sanhai said so clearly, he couldn't help but wonder: "Mr. Hu, why do you know the people in Haotian Pavilion so well?"
"presumptuous!"
When Xu Qingnian saw that Zhou Tian actually suspected Hu Sanhai, he scolded him sternly.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. It's good for Zhou Tian to have this kind of awareness. The world is big and there are only a few people who are worthy of trust. Even if you know the truth, you may become the person who betrays you in the end."
"Most of these so-called people in Haotian Pavilion are Qi cultivators, and some are students from the academy. Back then, the old master caught these deviant students and inquired about them. Naturally, we also know something about it. In the future, the old master will also know about it.
You mentioned."
After Zhou Tian found out, he lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"Since Haotian Pavilion is everywhere, how can we truly dismantle and eradicate this scum, return peace to the world, and return a pure land to Qi cultivators!"
Zhou Tian's emotion deeply touched Mo Xuan at the door of the tavern.
After closing the door of the tavern, he shook his eyes and lowered his eyes slightly.
Admiration arose spontaneously.
"Let's go to sleep!"
Xu Qingnian said casually, and they didn't say anything more, but silently returned to their respective rooms.
Although the tavern is large, there are only a few of them staying there.
The climate in Dongchu is the coldest, especially in the second half of the night. Even in spring, the biting cold wind still blows from time to time.
Zhou Tian, who was lying in the house, was very cold. He curled up under the quilt and only half of his head was exposed.
He was too cold to sleep at all, and suddenly remembered that dream.
Since swallowing the soul-eating blood bead, he has entered the dream state twice, each time more evil and the other time. He really wants to find out what is in it.
So he draped the quilt behind him, sat cross-legged again, frowned, and closed his eyes.
But the strange thing is that no matter what, I can't enter the dream.
He hurriedly opened his arms and took a closer look, feeling extremely disappointed.
The sea of qi and tendons disappeared without a trace again...
