The strongest ruler of the heavens

Chapter 446 Xuanci's past

Meng Qi was very depressed, ten taels of silver was not enough, he was a robber, right?

However, he is not blind.

For a young and beautiful woman to open a store with the title of "the first shop in Hanhai" in such a chaotic place as Liushaji, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

Moreover, the place where Lin Xi stayed, he believed, would definitely not be bad, it would definitely be a good place, but the boss was just too greedy for money.

"Come to three upper rooms!" He took out another ingot of silver, and Meng Qi patted it down boldly.

"There are only two rooms!" Qu Jiuniang flicked her sleeves quickly, and the two ingots of silver disappeared instantly.

"You charged 20 taels for two rooms!" Meng Qi never felt that he was a fat sheep, so he reminded him seriously.

"Based on head count, five taels per person! There are still five taels left, don't you eat dinner?" Qu Jiuniang's reason was very rude.

The corner of Meng Qi's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to teach her how to behave, but it was a pity that his master and junior were present, and Lin Xi was also looking at him with a smile.

He could only hold his nose and admit this loss, but he still had to ask for Master's permission.

After obtaining Xuanci's consent, Meng Qi nodded and said, "15 taels of silver, two rooms."

Qu Jiuniang said without raising her eyelids: "The two unlocked rooms on the west side of the second floor, go by yourself."

In the lobby of the inn, there were more than [-] tables, all of which were full of people. Some were punching and drinking, some were talking loudly, and some were whispering. It was very lively.

Some of these guests are tight-fitting bunts, some have dusty faces, and some are wearing Confucian robes. Bandits and robbers.

When Xuanci led the two apprentices through the hall, many guests glanced secretly, and after seeing nothing special, they looked away again and continued their efforts to make noise:

"Five, five, five!"

"Haha, three sixes, drink three bowls!"

"Damn, why did you lose again!"

In such a noisy environment, a young-looking man took a sip of his wine, frowned and took the bowl down, stood up and shouted: "Boss, your wine is not strong enough, is it mixed with water?"

Immediately, all the sounds in the lobby stopped abruptly. Those who punched wine, threw dice, talked, drank alcohol, and ate vegetables all kept their original movements for a short time as if time had frozen.

It might be the shopkeeper, or it might be Qu Jiuniang raised her head, her willow eyebrows stood upright, and her almond eyes stared wide: "I love to drink, if you don't drink, go away!"

Meng Qi stared at this scene dumbfounded, and almost laughed out loud. This was the first time seeing a boss with such a personality.

The young man who complained that the spirits were watered down did not expect such an answer at all, and stood there stupidly for a while.

"Haha."

The stiff crowd roared with laughter, as if they had long expected that the young man would be treated like this.

"Haha, I'm dying of laughter. How dare someone yell at Jiu Niang? Don't talk to me, I'm about to burst into tears. Where is the young boy?"

"That's right, if you are a one-word quick sword, maybe Jiuniang will favor you even more."

"Hahaha, how many times has this happened?"

"Can't remember, but it's fun every time."

It is probably the first time for the young man to walk in the rivers and lakes. Faced with this situation, except for his face flushed, he was neither angry nor patient, which was very embarrassing.

When walking up the stairs, Xuanci who was walking in front suddenly said, "Qu Jiuniang, her life experience is unknown, she opened the first inn in Hanhai ten years ago, she was alone at first with a good appearance, but she has been living in peace, I suspect that she is A master of location."

"External scene? How old is she?" Meng Qi was taken aback. Seeing Qu Jiuniang's age, he couldn't be older than himself.

Xuanci shook his head and said, "About 35, I don't use my Celestial Eye to see it as a teacher, so I don't know much about it."

Meng Qi had dark lines all over his head, but he was still secretly startled by the other party's talent, that he would be so terrifying.

Stepping up to the second floor, Lin Xi was still standing there, looking at him with a smile, and that cute little monk: Zhenhui.

When the three walked in, Lin Xi greeted the three with a smile: "Lin Xi has met the three masters."

Meng Qi was taken aback, and immediately understood that Lin Xi's behavior was because he didn't want Xuan Ci to find out that he and the other party knew each other.

After all, he has been in Shaolin, if he has a good relationship with the martial arts people in Hanhai, then there will be big problems.

"Amitabha!" Meng Qi and the three saluted together, which was regarded as a salute.

"Here in the Western Regions, Shaolin eminent monks are rare!" Lin Xi shook the wine glass, and the crystal clear wine was rippling in it: "I don't know if the three of you are here for the crying old man to reappear in the rivers and lakes?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Xi didn't speak anymore, just drinking the wine with a smile.

Meng Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, and began to speculate on the meaning of Lin Xi's words. He knew that the other party was not talking nonsense.

While thinking about it, he suddenly discovered that his master Xuanci, after hearing the name "Crying Old Man", had a gloomy expression and a faint coldness.

"I will take my leave." Seeing Xuan Ci's expression, Lin Xi cupped her hands apologetically, turned and returned to the room.

"Master, you." After the three of them sat down in the room, Meng Qi looked at his master with deep doubts.

"Amitabha!"

Pronouncing the Buddha's name, Xuanci let out a long breath, and his face gradually returned to normal: "I have been cultivating for decades, and after hearing this name as a teacher, I still can't meditate!"

While speaking, there was a faint look of grief in his eyes, Xuanci let out a long sigh, and said: "Crying old man is the enemy of the teacher!"

Xuanci looked at the teacup in his hand, and said with a touch of emotion: "Crying old man, whose real name is unknown, the master of the peak location, active in the Great Jin Longxi, Death Vast Sea and Burial God Desert, ranked No. 30 on the land list, good at The exercises are Kuangsha Shengong and Wrathful Soul Eighteen Beats, which can be called Gaidai fierce and stubborn."

Meng Qi was startled, his back felt chills, and he was even guessing Lin Xi's purpose in his heart.

"Master, do you have any enmity with the crying old man?" At this moment, Zhenhui hit the nail on the head and didn't have the consciousness to cover up for Master.

Meng Qi was also curious, but fortunately he had Zhenhui to ask, if it was him, it would be really difficult to ask. .

Xuanci suddenly became melancholy: "Tang Zhan, the teacher's common name, can be regarded as a top master on Ganlong Dao. He was only one step away from stepping into the ranks of grand masters. At that time, being a teacher hated evil like hatred."

Xuanci didn't hide anything, and told his past events one by one. Although his tone was flat, Meng Qi heard the engraved hatred from it.

Meng Qi fell silent, and his thoughts gradually drifted away. He was very suspicious of Lin Xi's purpose, why he specifically mentioned the name of the crying old man in front of his master.

Is it to help Master, or for something else?

The only thing not to worry about is the lives of the three of them.

He knew Lin Xi's character very well, and this was his confidence, but the feeling of being kept in the dark made him very uncomfortable.

"Looks like I'm going to ask him."
