Peerless Protégé [Rebirth]

Chapter 25 Moonlight

Luo Jiening had never heard of such a place name for Fuchen House in Yangzhou. Along the way, Tie Gang Li had to ask for directions to get an approximate location. Seeing Mount Qitai, Luo Jiening said: "We are almost at Xuantian Tower."

Hearing what he said, Nan Wang immediately stopped walking, his eyes widened.Luo Jiening noticed his abnormal state and asked, "What's wrong?"

Nan Wang shook his head and said, "I'm not going to Xuantian Tower."

Luo Jiening smiled: "It's just passing by, and I didn't say anything about it."

Tie Gun Li didn't know the situation of Nan Wang, and said: "It's far away from Xuantian Tower, and there is still some way to go."

Nan Wang seemed a little reluctant and said: "Can I not go to Xuantian Tower?"

Iron stick Li said: "Don't go to Xuantian Tower."

Luo Jiening took advantage of the iron rod Li to walk in front, leaned close to Nan Wang and said, "What do you plan to do in the future?"

Nan Wang shook his head and said in a daze, "I don't know."

Luo Jiening still wanted to ask, but Zhong Zhili pulled his belt from behind and pulled him back to his side. Luo Jiening saw his serious face, so he had no choice but to give up, and said to himself: "How can he be so fragile."

They asked for directions all the way, and finally found that Fuchenshe was located near Jiuming Mountain, so they rushed to Jiuming Mountain day and night.I heard that Jiuming Mountain is a spiritual mountain. There has been a legend circulating here that a fairy descended to this mountain a long time ago and lived here for hundreds of years. Sincerely, virtuous and virtuous people go up this mountain, the sky will be clear and warm and the sun will shine all over the place. If an insidious person goes up this mountain, there will be strong winds and thunder and lightning. I thought it was a sinister villain, and the Fuchen House was built on this spiritual mountain.

When they settled down in the town at the foot of the mountain, the clerk in the inn came to tell them the story of Jiuming Mountain, Luo Jiening asked: "Then, are there people of high moral standing in that Fuchen House?"

The man nodded hurriedly and said: "No, I heard that they are the descendants of that fairy. Only when they are on the mountain will there be no accidents on the mountain."

Luo Jiening asked: "You mean, there was an accident on this mountain before?"

The man suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Yes! I heard that the old man went down the mountain. The mountain was blew by strong wind and rain for several days, and it didn't stop until the old man came back. The people at the bottom of the mountain suffered a lot. The mudslides rushed down, and even the corpses could not be found!"

Nan Wang asked, "Why did that expert go down the mountain?"

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Zhong Zhili asked: "Has anyone seen that expert?"

A horrified expression appeared on the guy's face, and he said: "The blame is here. There are too many people who come here every day to visit that expert, and only a few of them can go up. I don’t remember it either, and when I asked him what an expert looked like, he wouldn’t even say he didn’t know.”

Luo Jiening became interested, touched his chin and said, "Is it so amazing?"

TieGuan Li put his daughter in the room and came out. Hearing this, he asked, "What is the name of that tall man?"

The guy still shook his head: "I don't know."

Luo Jiening sneered and said: "I don't know anything, that expert can't be made up by you?"

The waiter turned pale with shock, quickly covered Luo Jiening's mouth and said, "You can't do it! Officer, don't speak ill of the master behind your back! Our town will suffer!"

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the outside of the house suddenly became gloomy, and it started to rain.Luo Jiening glanced at it, half-believing and half-doubting: "So clever?"

The guy seemed relieved and said: "It's a good thing you didn't say anything offensive, otherwise it wouldn't be a matter of light rain. There used to be a kid who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and he didn't let him go up the mountain. He stood at the bottom of the mountain and scolded him immediately. A thunderbolt struck him to death!"

Luo Jiening looked at Zhong Zhili with some amusement, but Zhong Zhili had a calm expression on his face, as if he hadn't heard what the buddy said just now.

It was at this moment that the rain outside suddenly started to crackle like firecrackers. Luo Jiening teased the guy and said, "Could it be that someone is scolding an expert at the foot of the mountain?"

The clerk gave him a suspicious look, and then heard the boss who was waiting at the door come in, wiped his face and said in a hurry: "It's terrible! I'm going to die, which grandson offended the mountain god? "

As soon as the words fell, a thunderbolt struck from outside, the rumbling sound made Luo Jiening a little scared, Nan Wang shrank his body and approached Zhong Zhili weakly and said: "Brother Zhong, I'm afraid."

Zhong Zhili stretched out his hand to cover his ears and said, "It's okay."

There was thunder and lightning outside, while Luo Jiening listened to the phrase "Brother Zhong" and looked at Nan Wang who was leaning against Zhong Zhili's arms inside, suddenly resentment "why did I feel sorry for this little brat before" in my heart.

TieGuan Li ordered two jugs of wine, sat on the side and drank silently, as if he didn't hear the movement outside.Luo Jiening turned around and drank with Tieguan Li without seeing or worrying, while shaking his head and said: "Hey, it seems that we can't go up the mountain at this time."

TieGuan Li sighed, and said, "It's okay, I'll live an extra day or two, and see my daughter more."

Luo Jiening's hand holding the wine glass paused, then reached out to him, and smiled: "I'm sorry, uncle, I hurt you at your house earlier."

Tieguan Li squeezed out a slightly gray smile, and said, "I'm sorry for you too, I'm sorry for Mr. Lan."

The two had a drink, Luo Jiening looked at the weather outside, smacked his lips and said, "The sky was clear before, but it will change when the weather changes."

Tie Gang Li just drank his head and didn't answer his words.Luo Jiening filled a glass of wine, turned around and handed it to Zhong Zhili, and smiled at him, Zhong Zhili then put one of his hands covering Nan Wang's ear, took his glass, and drank with his head up .

Seeing that he actually picked it up, Luo Jiening quickly and courteously handed over the cup, this time Nan Wang reached out to take it, and drank it with a dull face, Luo Jiening wanted to say something, but frowned, but still shut his mouth .

It was gray and gray outside, with heavy rain, lightning and thunder, and no one was seen running wildly in the rain. A few Luojitang who passed by ran in to shelter from the rain, ordered a few pots of wine, and chatted around a table. .

Originally, there was only one table of them in the inn, but now there was an extra table, and the voice of their voices penetrated the entire middle hall.

"Who is this who offended the gods on the mountain? Didn't you just recover well?"

"Who knows, I haven't seen this weather for a long time, I'm afraid someone will die again!"

"Earlier, I saw a few people come here to see the expert, I'm afraid I'll offend him again!"

"These people are really serious. Our locals dare not go up. They all dare to meet the gods. Look, they are causing trouble! We are responsible for causing trouble! They pat their buttocks and leave. !"

"This time, I don't know when I can stop. Look, fortunately, the harvest was early this year, otherwise it would be over!"

Luo Jiening heard the local people's disdain and ridicule for these outsiders who came to see the expert, but secretly thought, since it is such a famous place, if he doesn't know, Zhong Xiao should know, otherwise, Tie Gun Li has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, he should know, why don't they know such a mountain of immortals that many people seek to see?

He yelled, and said, "Brothers over there! Can you ask me, who are those people who went to see the master?"

Several people over there saw this strange face, thinking that they might be newcomers again, one of them spun his wine glass casually and said: "Aren't they just those idiots who wish to be immortal!"

Luo Jiening understood in his heart, it seemed that there was a reason why they didn't know, how could these people in the Jianghu have the idea of ​​wanting to become immortal?What they hope most is to be invincible among ten thousand people. If there is not an emperor who is still sitting on the throne, maybe what they want more is to be called emperor——

The emperor on the rivers and lakes.

Luo Jiening asked again: "Brother, why does that expert let people go up?"

One person said: "Then how do I know, I have never seen those people ascend to immortality or not!"

Luo Jiening saw that if he continued to ask, he might be kicked out, so he closed his mouth obediently. At this moment, Nan Wang wanted to go back to his room, so Zhong Zhili took him there. Tie Gun Li finished his drink The two jars of wine also went back to the room, fearing that the weather would not arouse people's interest, Luo Jiening also felt that it was boring, and had to go back to the room after drinking the wine in his hand, when a person came from outside the door, The man was dressed in black, wearing a big bamboo hat, with a sword on his waist, his face could not be seen clearly, walking slowly in the heavy rain, like walking in the drizzle, his whole body was soaked, but he was calm , went straight into this inn, and said to the boss: "Come to a room."

Luo Jiening sat back on the spot and watched this scene with great interest, wondering where this master came from, and he felt extraordinary just by looking at his momentum. He glanced at each other, and finally saw the person's face clearly, and a thought came to his mind——

Such a young face!

Before he had time to see the expression on his face, the man had already bowed his head and returned to the room.

Luo Jiening got up and went back to the room, the wind was still raging outside, making the roof rustle, Luo Jiening guessed that the roof would be torn off if the wind was stronger and the rain was heavier, there was a burst of thunder, Luo Jiening Lie on the table and sigh secretly that the weather is not good and the mood is not good.

The rain kept on going, and I thought it would clear up the next day at most, but I didn't expect it to rain for three days and it was still gloomy, with no intention of stopping at all, Luo Jiening lay on the counter in the middle hall and asked the boss: "You have to stand at the bottom of the mountain and keep cursing to make it rain so many days, right?"

The boss shook his head and looked helpless: "We don't know either. You see, when it rains, the business in our store is very bleak!"

Nan Wang was already used to the sound of thunder, so he sat next to Luo Jiening eating steamed buns and said, "When do we have to wait? Brother Zhong said he doesn't have much money with him."

Hearing this, Luo Jiening stretched out his hand and pinched Nan Wang's cheek viciously, and said darkly, "What are you screaming for?"

Nan Wang was in pain from his pinching, just about to yell, Luo Jiening slapped him on the forehead, and said, "I just know how to eat! If he has no money, you can still eat!"

Nan Wang said pitifully, "But I'm hungry."

At this moment, the mysterious young man wearing a bamboo hat suddenly came out of the room and came straight to the counter. This was the second time Luo Jiening saw him, and he hadn't left his room in the past three days , I don’t know how to solve the problem of eating and drinking.

The man withdrew the money on the counter and said to the boss, "I can't stop."

The boss kindly said, "My lord, it's raining heavily outside, where are you going?"

The man didn't answer, and walked straight to the door. As soon as he went out, it was raining so heavily, and he seemed to be walking in the rain again. He didn't stop walking, and went out leisurely.

Zhong Zhili and Tie Gun Li had been sitting at the table, saw that man now, and asked, "Uncle, do you know that man?"

Tieguan Li shook his head and said, "I don't know him, just a weirdo."

It is indeed strange.

Luo Jiening rubbed his chin to think, looked south and whispered: "Mr. Luo, why doesn't that person hold an umbrella?"

Luo Jiening said: "It's not raining too much, what are you doing with an umbrella?"

Nan Wang looked at him incredulously, and then looked at the pouring rain outside, maybe he felt that there was something wrong with the man beside him, so he got up and went to Zhong Zhili's side.

Luo Jiening asked the boss: "Boss, have you met this person before?"

The boss immediately shook his head and said, "Weird, I haven't seen it before."

Luo Jiening asked: "Could you also come to find an expert?"

The boss glanced at the rain that had disappeared, and said, "Who knows."
