In the Blade

Naturally, there are guest rooms in the inn, but they are not used most of the time.

After all, there were few outsiders in the past, and there was only one old man in charge of the inn. It would be great if he could provide food and drinks normally. If he had to clean up the guest rooms, the requirements for the old man would be a bit too high - of course, Sanshan Town has recently There were more people coming, but because the accommodation conditions at the inn were so poor, all the people from the world went to stay in the inn.

Once a person has formed a habit of thinking, it is difficult to change it. Just like now, the guest rooms have been packed up at the inn, but those outsiders are still more willing to go to the town to find an inn. This is reflected in the The inn outside the town turned into a restaurant because of Du Chengfeng's presence. Everyone would come here to order some food and have a drink or two.

"So you really don't want to order?"

Looking at the old man and the young man in front of him, Du Chengfeng was stunned.

Does the Inn really have the service of staying in a hotel?

"No... let's have some."

After the old man looked at Du Chengfeng, he changed his mind.

"Just two side dishes, there are only two of us, we can't eat too much..."

"Why can't I eat more! I can feed two people in one meal!"

Hearing what the older one said, the younger one immediately became unhappy.

"Four dishes! Let's have some soup! Do you have any steamed buns here? If not, rice is fine...Master, why are you dragging me? Haven't we not eaten all day?"

"...That's fine, four dishes, and the soup is for you."

Du Chengfeng scratched his head and didn't pay much attention to the quarrel between the old and the young.

After calling the unknown young man to take these two rare guests to the guest room, Du Chengfeng went back to the kitchen to cook - and after entering the guest room, the old man, who was the Feng Shui master, glared fiercely. He glanced at his apprentice.

"Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat. You know where this place is and you dare to eat?"

"What's the matter with... having a meal?"

The young apprentice looked puzzled.

"Is it possible, Master, that you know where this place is?"

"Oh."

The old Feng Shui gentleman snorted coldly.

"I don't know either."

"..."

The young apprentice immediately choked on the spot.

There is no way to continue talking today. You don’t know what it means, and you still look like you understand. What else can you say if you don’t know?

But what the young apprentice didn't expect was that this old Feng Shui master really knew something.

"It's true that we are here to stay in a hotel, but staying in a hotel is also very particular."

Pressing his apprentice onto the seat, the old Feng Shui master began to teach him the knowledge of traveling in the world.

"There is a saying in the world that even if someone is innocent, they should be killed. Of course, this does not mean that you should attack them when you see them. It means that these people are the most likely to harm you."

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about cars and boats. If you really want to travel all over the world, you can't do without those who drive big cars and those who run boats. A shop is a waiter, and sometimes it also refers to this kind of hotel. Toe refers to a footman, which means running errands for people. Those who deliver things and move goods refer to Yahang, that is, those intermediaries and brokerage firms that are responsible for helping people communicate with people, or dispatch work.

There are a total of five professions, which seem to have different divisions of labor, but these five professions have one common characteristic.

"That is, you must use them when you go out, but you only have a relationship with them."

This kind of relationship requires a lot of attention. First of all, the other person is not familiar with you, and you have to rush to ask others to do things. You usually can’t tell that the other person is trying to trick you. Secondly, just because they are just acquainted, the other person will really try to trick you. There's nothing you can do to fight back.

"Those who can do these jobs are either local snakes or people who run around in the world. People are separated from each other. Do you know who is on the other side? Let me tell you, when I was traveling in the world, I passed by Yizhou and even ate in a shop. I’ve been to rice meat, and it’s really…”

Rice meat, also known as Buxianyang, also called Hegulan. To put it bluntly, the store is a shady shop and accidentally put some customer into the stew pot.

After hearing this, the young apprentice understood why his master was so careful. The old man had such mysterious experiences back then - especially the story about the black shop and rice meat. After unfolding it, it became even more... It made him break out in cold sweat!

"So Master, since you know that this may be a black shop, why are you still..."

"I didn't say this was a black shop, I just thought it wasn't normal."

The old Feng Shui master lowered his voice again.

"Haven't you noticed that there are no guests at this inn?"

"this."

The young apprentice became more and more worried. He also noticed something strange about this matter - as an inn at the entrance of the town, facing so many pedestrians, there was no one staying here. It looked a bit... …

"So, master, let's go."

The young apprentice immediately packed up his things, as if he didn't even have anything to eat.

However, the old Feng Shui master still stopped him.

"Now that you're here, there's no need to leave in a hurry. Anyway, this original cornucopia has been sealed into a dead place by the countercurrent river. It's normal to be a little weird right now... When we change the Feng Shui here, these monsters and monsters will naturally also It’s gone.”

"this……"

Young apprentices can neither advance nor retreat for a while.

At this moment, he regretted that he had said too much before, and even threatened to order four dishes and one soup - now it seems that these four dishes and one soup are really edible? Do they really want to eat in such a place?

"Eat! Of course we have to eat!"

The old Feng Shui master immediately blew his beard.

"Didn't you see the chef's expression just now?"

"I..."

The young apprentice remembered that when they just came in, the chef's expression was indeed very impressive.

That expression contained three parts of astonishment, three parts of hesitation, three parts of disbelief, and even one more part of anger as if being insulted - they just came to stay in the hotel, and they didn't say anything wrong about the chef, so why was the chef angry?

"Because the chef is very confident in his skills, so if we don't eat, it will be a loss of face for him."

Recalling the situation at that time, the old Feng Shui master narrowed his eyes.

"When you are out, if you can give someone face, give them face. Even if you don't know the other person's background and don't know who he is, it won't hurt to give him face first... Otherwise, what do you think the martial arts world is? Fighting and killing?"

"I...No, no."

The young apprentice shrank his neck.

The martial arts world is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom. His master has reminded him of this again and again since he just got started. Although in his opinion, the martial arts world is about fighting and killing, after all, those evil masters really kill people at the slightest disagreement, and even kill several people at any time, but since his master has repeatedly emphasized this, he can only listen.

After all, if you don't listen, you will be beaten. There is no harm in listening. Anyway, you don't have to do it. You just need to let the master think that he has listened, so that the master will not beat him.

At least from this point of view, he has fully understood what human relationships and worldly wisdom are.

"Anyway, let's see the quality of the dishes when they are served. If the dishes are fine, then this restaurant is fine. If the dishes are not, then we'll run."

While saying this, the old Feng Shui master packed his luggage and took out all the tools that could save his life.

Facts have proved that the reason why this old Feng Shui master can live to this age is not only because of his good health.

At this time, the four dishes and one soup were delivered to the door of the guest room.

The old Feng Shui master did not move. It was the young apprentice who took the food. When he opened the door, the young apprentice took a look at the person who delivered the dishes. Judging from his age, he should be in his teens, but from his strong body and the iron whip hanging around his waist, he didn't look like a waiter at all.

But after thinking of his master's teachings, the young apprentice didn't say much, but just calmly closed the door.

Then he began to pack his luggage frantically.

"Run, Master! There's something wrong with this place! Their waiter is so young, but he already has a weapon on his waist!"

"Oh? Are you talking about the kid just now?"

The old Feng Shui master was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"This actually means that nothing is wrong. Don't be so scared when you see a weapon... Let me ask you, if I want to harm you, do you think I will show my weapon or hide it?"

"This..."

After hearing his master's judgment, the young apprentice gradually calmed down.

It seems to be true. If this is really a black shop, the other party can hide the dagger in the sleeve and stab him in the chest directly when he opens the door, instead of just putting the iron whip in the waistband like just now.

Putting the iron whip in the waistband makes it difficult to pull it out in the first time. It doesn't look like he is going to take action.

"Maybe they think there is something strange about us, the master and the apprentice, so they show us a trick to show their power."

The old Feng Shui master made a conclusion like this.

"But this dish is not bad. No wonder the chef had that expression before... Come on, try it too."

"This dish..."

The young apprentice picked up an egg with chopsticks and put it in his mouth in confusion, and his eyes lit up immediately.

The dishes were very ordinary, leeks and eggs, green peppers and shredded pork, cold cucumber, and a piece of Mushu pork, all of which were classic home-cooked side dishes. The soup was also the most ordinary green vegetable egg drop soup - but ordinary dishes did not mean ordinary taste. At least in the memory of this young apprentice, he had never eaten such delicious dishes.

"This... is strange!"

The young apprentice was more and more puzzled as he ate. Obviously, he could even cook these dishes, but why did the taste of these home-cooked dishes in front of him taste so smooth?

How did he do this? Aren't the ingredients the same?

"The ingredients are the same, but the chef's skills are another matter."

The old Feng Shui master nodded more and more as he ate.

"No wonder the cook thought it was ridiculous for us to stay in a hotel. It seems that most people who came to this post station before came to eat... With this cooking skill, even if you go to the top restaurants in Jiankang City, you may not be able to taste it. Incredible, incredible."

The more he talked about it, the more the Feng Shui master wanted to live here permanently.

Apart from anything else, just a bite of food is enough to be the biggest reason for him to live here.

"It really deserves to be a treasure bowl... Who says that a cunning rabbit's cave can't hide a dragon and a crouching tiger?"

Perhaps it was because of a few glasses of old wine that the old Feng Shui master sang along while talking.

This also surprised the young apprentice. It was the first time he saw his master so relaxed - it seemed that the chef's skills were really good. After all, even he himself felt a little drowsy after a bowl of egg soup.

But just filling the stomach was not enough. Food still had to be accompanied by beautiful scenery. Even if there was no beautiful scenery in Sanshan Town, it was an elegant thing to be able to look at the sunset in the distance.

Thinking of this, the young apprentice pushed open the window of the guest room.

There was indeed a sunset outside the window, but what was more attractive than the sunset was what was happening outside the window - under the sunset, two millstones were being pulled very fast in the backyard of the post station. Just looking at the millstones turning so fast, sparks were actually turned out on the spot.

But what surprised the young apprentice even more was that the people pulling the mill outside were not cattle or horses at all, but two strong and healthy living people.

Two strong men were wearing bridles and pulling the millstone, and the remaining seven men were beating each other with fists and feet. Just looking at the fists as big as sand bowls and the violent blows, these people really wanted to fight to the death!

"This!"

The young apprentice immediately sweated, and the window in front of him was closed immediately!

"Run, Master! Run!"

Taking a deep breath, the young apprentice packed his luggage again.

"This is a black shop! This is a black shop! I saw it just now! They use living people to pull the millstone! This is simply..."

"This... I saw it too."

The old Feng Shui master had not put down his chopsticks yet, which made him subconsciously want to say something to refute, but he couldn't say it when he got to his lips. After all, he really saw the two millstones full of sparks and the two living people wearing bridles.

"So why not... forget it!"

Shaking his head, the old Feng Shui master opened his backpack and took out his compass from it.

"It's hard to say whether it's a shady shop or not, I might as well calculate the Feng Shui here first... The shop may deceive people, but Feng Shui definitely can't deceive people. The Feng Shui of this post station is..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Feng Shui's forehead suddenly began to sweat.

"It's fierce... Very fierce!"

"How can it be so fierce!"
