Volume 2: Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 536: Signs
Thanks for the support of Rotating Black and White!
As dusk fell, lights lit up in the Thunder Valley.
At the end of the street, there was a large open slope. The only inn in the valley was located here, which was the place where the monks came and went.
The so-called inn was just a yard with a few bungalows. Lin Yi came for the wine shop in front. When he walked into the house facing the street, there were people toasting at several tables.
Lin Yi found a table near the door and sat down. Seeing a waiter approaching to greet him, he asked for a jar of wine.
These were two rooms connected together, and a few candles illuminated the surroundings. There was a counter at the back door leading to the yard. The shopkeeper inside was a thin middle-aged man. He shouted from time to time, making the young waiter busy.
He opened the wine jar and filled a bowl for himself. There was a faint spiritual energy in the wine. Curiously tasting it, Lin Yi nodded slightly. The shopkeeper was keeping an eye on everything and boasted at the right time: "My Thunder Valley wine is brewed from spiritual springs. It tastes sweet and has a long aftertaste. Drinking it often can improve your cultivation and prolong your life!"
This wine contains spiritual energy. Lin Yiben thought it was caused by the soaking of spiritual stones. After all, he had used this folk method and was proud of it. Now that someone explained it, Lin Yi realized that he was short-sighted. Although the spiritual wine was useless for his cultivation, he still picked up the wine bowl and gestured to the shopkeeper, thinking it was a compliment.
"The shopkeeper is talking nonsense! What prolonging life? Do you think we are ordinary people! A jar of wine actually costs two spiritual stones, how is it different from looting?" Someone shouted indignantly, and someone else echoed: "It's not easy for us to accumulate a few spiritual stones. How can the shopkeeper have the heart to make such a dishonest money!"
For a while, the tavern was very noisy. The shopkeeper walked out of the counter and said with a smile: "I am just a mortal. What use do I have for spiritual stones? Isn't it the rule set by the foundation-building masters in the valley! Haha!"
The sign of the foundation-building masters was loud, and the wine shop suddenly quieted down.
In a small fairy shop like Thunder Valley, the cultivation of the people coming and going is not high, and the foundation-building cultivators are admired by people. It can be seen that the principle of respecting the strong applies to any place. Whether you are mortal or immortal, it is just a corner of the wild jungle. If you want to avoid the bloody law of the jungle, it is not easy!
The taste of Thunder Valley wine is good! Putting down the wine bowl, Lin Yi tapped the table lightly and said: "Shopkeeper, bring ten more jars of wine to take away..."
Haha! I met a big customer! The shopkeeper responded happily and asked the waiter to move the wine to the backyard. Seeing that someone was generous, the monks who were eating and drinking looked over. These five or six people had different cultivation levels and occupied two tables respectively.
Lin Yi poured another bowl of wine and sipped it. His young appearance, fifth-level Qi training, and generosity made him a rich man from a family. Seeing this, some people disagreed, some shook their heads and sighed, and some looked jealous. Everyone had different expressions. &&
Two more people came in, and the loud voice came first-
"Boss, bring a jar of wine, a plate of bamboo shoots made from Lingquan, and delicious game. Come and taste it with me..."
Along with the loud voice, there was a woman's soft voice-
"Brother! Don't be so extravagant..."
Everyone looked at the door, and Shi Dang and his sister appeared in the wine shop one after another. The brother was full of energy and smiled; the sister looked coquettish, but she was a little shy in the public eye.
"Haha! This is the only time, and it won't happen again! We have spiritual stones... Hey! This Taoist brother is here too, haha!" Suddenly, he saw Lin Yi sitting at the door. Isn't this the person who earned spiritual stones from him? Shi Dang hurriedly bowed his hands and laughed a lot less.
Lin Yi nodded lightly, without any empty courtesy. His unintentional behavior made Shi Yaer dissatisfied. In her opinion, this man was young, but arrogant and arrogant.
The brother and sister sat down at the empty table next to Lin Yi. While waiting for the food and wine, Shi Dang exchanged a few words with the fellow eaters.
Perhaps she was dissatisfied, Shi Yaer actually frowned at Lin Yi and snorted indignantly. She thought to herself, this must be a playboy from a big family, how can he understand the hard-earned spiritual stones!
Although Lin Yi looked leisurely, he knew everything around him. Seeing that the girl was staring at him, he turned his head and smiled at her. The other party raised his delicate chin and turned away with disdain.
Lin Yi, with an unchanged expression, looked at the wine table not far away, where several people were talking.
"Have you heard that all the masters of Xuantian Sect have come out and split into two groups..." said one person mysteriously.
"I heard that this matter has long been spread by all the immortal houses..." someone said.
"It's already April, but you are talking about the beginning of March..." A person looked well-informed.
With a "snatch", the person who started the conversation put down the wine bowl, glanced at the two companions at the same table, and then shook his head at the three people at the next table, saying seriously: "I just said that the troops were split into two groups. Since you know the details, why don't you tell me one or two..."
"There is no way to know..."
"Yes! The actions of masters are treacherous and unpredictable, how can ordinary people speculate..."
The man looked around and showed off: "Haha! I have heard about the whereabouts of those experts from Xuantianmen..." Before he could continue, he heard a "pop" in the wine shop, and someone slapped the table and said loudly : "Some people went to the east, and some people went to the south, haha! Isn't that true..."
Being disturbed by someone, the man was a little unhappy and asked back: "You are only at the fifth level of Qi training, how can you know these things..." He is at the seventh level of Qi training, and he feels that he is more knowledgeable than the other person. Give it a try.
The one who interrupted was Shi Dang. He laughed and said unconcernedly: "This has nothing to do with cultivation. I heard it by chance. As for where those experts went, please ask this Taoist brother to clarify!" "
In line with his nature, Shi Dang's words were straightforward, but they would not offend anyone. When he goes out, he has his own sense of proportion. When the man found the steps, he pretended to be generous and smiled, picked up the wine bowl and said, "It is said that those masters went all the way east and all the way west. As for their final destination... hum! It's okay not to say it!"
I wanted to show off my knowledge, but in the end I realized that my knowledge was limited. The man's smile faltered, and he simply took a swig of wine, causing his companions beside him to sneer. Everyone was just joking around while drinking, no one was serious. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. Lin Yi, who was sitting alone, flashed his eyes and nodded thoughtfully.
"This Taoist brother really knows how to sell things! Let me tell you..." As the food and wine table followed, Shi Dang also became interested. He picked up the wine bowl and gestured left and right, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. After exhaling the breath of alcohol happily, he laughed at the girl staring at him, and then said: "I've been really lucky these days..."
Does the whereabouts of the Xuantianmen masters have anything to do with your luck? There was laughter in the wine shop, and the man who spoke just now shook his head in disdain.
Disapproving of the crowd's response, Shi Dang said energetically: "I come from Mengshan, that day..."
The Mengshan Mountain mentioned by Shidang is thousands of miles away from the Thunder Valley. That day, he and his sister were collecting herbs deep in the mountains. When they reached a remote valley, they suddenly saw a stream of light flying from a distance, and suddenly disappeared into a jungle.
Out of curiosity, the brother and sister went to check. Unexpectedly, a black shadow suddenly rushed out, scaring the two of them and hurriedly retreated.
It was a strange beast two or three feet long, ferocious and ferocious, with a fishy smell all over its body and a terrifying momentum. Seeing that there was no way to escape, in order to protect the girl's safety, the ignorant Shi Dang decided to kill the monster. But the flying sword was knocked away by the opponent when he took action, and he regretted it.
What on earth is this thing, and how can it be so ferocious? I'm afraid I'm going to have bad luck today! Shocked, Shi Dang turned around and ran away. But the monster popped out a sharp thorn and came behind it. Seeing that his life was in danger, his sister Shi Yaer was so frightened that she screamed, but a sword light suddenly came and actually split the vicious thing in half.
Someone came to the rescue! Before the shocked brother and sister could take a breath, they saw a middle-aged monk emerging from the ground. The man looked arrogant and turned a blind eye to everything around him. He just stared at a jade slip in his hand and said to himself: When did Daxia have such people who are eager for public good and righteousness? Since Le Chengzi set off for Gubi County, why did he send people east? And Yan Qi... It's such a huge battle, so what if I just join in the fun...
Knowing that they had met an expert, the Shidang brothers and sisters stepped forward to thank them for saving their lives. Who would have thought that the senior was talking to himself, then stepped on the sword rainbow and left, not paying attention to his two juniors at all.
The senior must have been cultivating here in secret. When he appeared after receiving the transmission talisman, he killed the strange beasts in his way and accidentally saved his two brothers and sisters! After coming to their senses, Shi Dang and Shi Ya'er looked at each other, and then they were pleasantly surprised. That dead monster is a windfall! The two got Huomang and came to Thunder Valley Immortal Square...
"Senior Le Chengzi and Senior Yan Qi are the leading figures in Daxia. Who knows their names and who doesn't? And what the senior said must be referring to the movements of Xuantian Clan! Haha! It can be said that my brother and sister got a blessing in disguise, they also sold things with the bodies of exotic animals..." Shi Dang was so excited that he couldn't hold back his words, but was interrupted by his sister Shi Ya'er -
"Brother! When you go out, you should be careful about your words and actions..."
With the girl's reminder, Shi Dang shut his mouth in time. The most common truth in the world is that guests should never leave goods, and wealth should not be revealed. Having an extra two hundred spirit stones is enough to make others tempted! Someone happened to look over, whether they wanted to hear what he had to say or were thinking about his spiritual stone. This straightforward man suddenly became cautious, picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Haha! Drink, drink..."
"Haha!" Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle. This brother and sister are straightforward, but they pretend to be worldly, and they are childish, but they are not evil people. However, the words I overheard were unexpected. Regardless of who is the person who killed the beast, the movements of Xuantianmen are enough to make people think deeply, and Gubijun...
"Hmph! Why are you laughing?" Shi Ya'er sat facing Lin Yi, and the situation across from him was clear at a glance. Seeing someone laughing at her brother, she couldn't help but question him. His voice was low, but his handsome little face was tense, and he stared hard.
"Sister, who provoked you?" Seeing that his sister was angry, Shi Dang was a little confused.
Lin Yi was interrupted from his thoughts, and when he saw Shi Yaer's appearance, he realized that he had offended someone. He didn't want to meet her, but he might as well have someone talk to him: "Brother Taoist, what happened between you and my sister?"
Shi Dang had no ill feelings towards Lin Yi, but felt that he had taken advantage of him. Even if he was speaking for his sister, he still lacked confidence.
There is nothing between me and your sister! Shaking his head secretly, Lin Yi smiled faintly at the brother and sister, indicating that he was innocent! At this time, a waiter ran up to him and said, "Master, the wine you asked for is here!"
Ten jars of wine were placed on the floor beside the counter, which were the fine wines from the Thunder Valley that he wanted. Lin Yi no longer paid attention to the brother and sister, and stood up and walked over. After he took out a handful of spirit stones and handed them to the shopkeeper, he turned around and left, and the jars of wine on the floor disappeared with a flick of his robe sleeves.
Not focusing on cultivation, but greedily pursuing the things in the cup, it is unworthy of being a cultivator! In addition, ten jars of wine cost twenty spirit stones! Shi Yaer was indignant and frowned at Lin Yi's back, saying to Shi Dang: "Brother! Spiritual stones can only be used for cultivation, and they can no longer be wasted..."
