Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 768
The guy let out a miserable howl, and immediately jumped up as if he had been stabbed in the ass by a needle.

"Little bastard, you've been sleeping all day, why don't you get up quickly to greet the guests?" The shopkeeper glared at the guy and scolded sharply.

The guy suddenly woke up, hurried to the side to bring the kettle, and poured a bowl of hot water for several people.

Li Canghai smiled, and said: "We don't go to the top, and we don't stay in the shop. We leave when we are full."

The shopkeeper let out an oh, and said regretfully: "Seeing that you are in a hurry, you must be businessmen, right? It's a pity that we can't see the lanterns here."

"Flower lantern? What kind of lantern?" Li Yu asked curiously as he took a sip of warm tea from a large porcelain bowl and warmed himself up.

When mentioning the lanterns, the shopkeeper immediately regained his spirits and said, "Although our Fufeng Town is a little-known town, the lanterns in the town are absolutely unique! It was really colorful and lively!"

"Oh? What's the fun in that?" Li Yu asked excitedly.

"It's natural. Guest officers, don't think our town is small, but there are many capable people and strangers. In addition to the lantern viewing, there is also a ceremony of worshiping the gods. To tell the truth, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods this year is from Mount Hua. The old fairy came to preside over it!" The shopkeeper said excitedly.

"The old god on Mount Hua? Who is it?" Di Qing asked suspiciously.

The shopkeeper stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Girl, who else can become a god on Mount Hua? Of course it is Lu Dongbin, Lu Xianren!"

"What? Master is here?" Di Qing blinked and blurted out.

As soon as these words came out, the remaining few people were stunned at the same time.

"Sister Qing, what did you just say? Your master... is Immortal Lu?" Li Yu asked in a daze.

Di Qing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Isn't it possible?"

"Oh! Look at my brain, I should have guessed it a long time ago! You learned martial arts from Mount Hua, and the Huashan School was created by Immortal Lu, so you will naturally be a disciple of Immortal Lu!" Li Yu suddenly patted his head , said.

Li Canghai was also quite surprised. Di Qing had said more than once that his master was a Taoist priest, but he never thought that Di Qing's master was actually the legendary Lu Dongbin!
The shopkeeper was stunned. It took a long time before he came to his senses and said in surprise, "Girl, are you really Lu Xianren's apprentice?"

"Of course." Di Qing said proudly.

The shopkeeper groaned, knelt down in front of Di Qing, and said excitedly: "It turns out that the fairy came to the evil shop, and the little old man didn't greet well. I hope the fairy will forgive me!"

Although Di Qing was complacent about being called a 'fairy', she was shocked when the shopkeeper knelt down to her.

"Shopkeeper, why are you doing this? Hurry up!"

The shopkeeper said excitedly: "To be honest, the little old man went to Beijing to rush for the exam, but he failed in Sun Shan. He just wanted to die. When I was desperate, I met Lu Xianren. Not only did he enlighten the little old man, but also It was because I gave the little old man enough money that the little old man returned to Fufeng County and opened this inn."

Li Yu suddenly realized: "No wonder you are so excited when you hear that Qingmei is Lu Xianren's apprentice. It turns out that Lu Xianren saved your life back then!"

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, and said with emotion: "If Lu Xianren hadn't enlightened the little old man back then, the little old man would have disappeared from this world long ago. Although the little old man has never been to Mount Hua in these years, his kindness to Lu Xianren Never dare or forget for a moment.”

After a pause, the shopkeeper suddenly remembered that he was only focused on talking to them and hadn't served the food yet, so he hurriedly said: "The guest officers are taking a rest here, and the little old man is going to cook a sumptuous meal for you." Meals for a few."

Saying that, the shopkeeper cupped his hands at them and walked towards the back kitchen.

After the shopkeeper left, Li Yu approached Di Qing and asked impatiently: "Sister Qing, I heard that Lu Xianren is immortal and can take heads with flying swords. Is it true?"

Di Qing rolled his eyes at him, and said: "I don't know if Master is immortal, but he can indeed take the head of a person with a flying sword. So, you'd better stay away from me, or I accidentally hurt you with the sword, but It's not good."

Li Yu is a thick-skinned person. He knew that Di Qing was joking, so he laughed loudly and said, "If I can die in the hands of a fairy like Qingmei, it will be worth it!"

"You! You are really brazen!" Di Qing said angrily.

Li Yu grinned disapprovingly, and turned to Li Canghai and said, "Sir, anyway, you can't find the elixir of life in a short time. Why don't we stay here for a few days to relieve the pressure of the past few days. Two Come, meet Lu Xianren, what do you think?"

Li Canghai also had this intention in his heart, he also really wanted to meet the legendary fairy, so he nodded and said: "If so, then we will just stay here for a few days."

After a pause, Li Canghai asked Di Qing, "Qing'er, does Immortal Lu often go down the mountain?"

Di Qing shook her head and said: "Master once traveled to famous mountains and rivers when he was young, but after the founding of Huashan sect, he seldom went down the mountain. Having said that, I also feel a little strange, why master came to this remote town to host The ceremony of worshiping the gods?"

"Presumably, Immortal Lu wants to influence all living beings?" Li Yu guessed.

Di Qing also nodded her head vigorously, and said, "Master said that those who cultivate the Tao want to save all sentient beings. Maybe this is the real reason why Master is here!"

"No matter what the reason is, meeting Lu Xianren is a kind of fate. Let's stay here for a few days. After meeting Lu Xianren, we will leave immediately." Li Canghai said.

Not long after, the shopkeeper led the waiter, and the two of them brought a table of dishes from the back kitchen.

"It's a small town in the countryside, and the food is simple and light. Please don't blame the guest officials. Please feel free!" the shopkeeper said happily.

"The shopkeeper is so polite, such a table of delicious food, it can be said that the color, fragrance and taste are delicious, I thank the shopkeeper!" Li Canghai said.

"Hey, what are you talking about, the guest officer. If you can come here, the shop will be full of splendor, and the little old man will do his best to entertain you."

Li Canghai smiled, reached out to touch his waist, but was shocked to find that when he came out, he forgot to bring his money bag with him.

Seeing this, Lu Jitong hurriedly took off his purse and handed it to Li Canghai respectfully.

Li Canghai took the money bag, grinned in embarrassment, took out a few pieces of silver from the money bag, and said, "Shopkeeper, we are going to stay here for a few days, this is today's meal and room money, you Have you seen enough?"
