I open an inn in the realm of comprehension

So Xiao Minglou asked straight to the point: "I'm curious, why did your master arrange such a marriage for your young lady? The Shi family is just ordinary wealthy businessmen from the mortal world, while the Zhang family is cultivating the world. How did Master Shi and the Zhang family get to know each other without going anywhere?"

A Chou, the guard who never participated in Shi's family affairs, didn't know much about the past, but Lan'er, who was Shi Yueying's personal maid, knew it very clearly.

She was originally proud that her young lady was able to marry the proud son of the cultivation world, so when she talked about that past, she looked very happy with the honor.

"Back then, the master passed through Yucheng and did business with several small towns on the border of Xiujie. Later, he accidentally stepped into a ruin and accidentally rescued the Zhang family master who was trapped inside! Master and Master Zhang were blessed by misfortune. He got a lot of benefits in the middle school, and became sworn brothers, and agreed to marry his sons and daughters in the future. Regardless of whether the master's children have the talent for cultivation, Mr. Zhang will never dislike him. After the young lady was born, Mr. Zhang took the Zhang family Lang specially came to Shi's house to see her several times, although the young lady didn't detect the spiritual root, Master Zhang still loves the young lady very much, Zhang Dalang is also very kind to the young lady..."

Lan'er was talking, and seeing that she was about to shoot a bunch of flattery, Xiao Minglou interrupted her in time: "What specific benefits did your master get from that ruin?"

Lan'er blinked, as if she hadn't escaped from the beautiful imagination of a natural couple, she was stunned for a moment before replying: "The master said that even ordinary people can't use those magic weapons, so he asked for gold, silver and jewelry. , silk and satin... Oh, yes, it is said that there is also a token with unknown function. The master said that the token was only plated with copper, and the iron core inside was so tattered that he could see it. The token was kept because it helped him block the claw attack of a wild beast. That claw just scratched the master's heart. If it wasn't for the tattered token, the master would have died, so he kept the token. Come down and use it as a talisman."

"Where is that token now?" Xiao Minglou asked.

"No... I don't know." Lan'er shook her head blankly.

"Since it was used as a talisman, didn't you see it on Master Shi's body the day the Shi family was destroyed?" Xiao Minglou asked again.

Lan'er still shook her head, this time she was a little more cautious, and tried hard to recall: "No, I, Miss and A Chou were all beside the master at that time, and the three of us buried the master's body together. But everything on the master Now, but I have never seen any token, thinking about it carefully, since I came to serve the young lady, the young lady and I have never seen that token."

Lan'er was born in a family, and was sent to Shi Yueying's side at a very young age. She was not only her personal maid, but also her childhood playmate.

Xiao Minglou looked at Qi Chang again.

Qi Chang also shook his head: "I have been with Master Shi for ten years, and I have never seen any tokens. If I hadn't heard this girl talk about this matter, I would not have known that Master Shi and Master Zhang had such a past."

"Forget it, maybe Master Shi lost it somewhere, and the left is just an unimportant token." Xiao Minglou lowered his eyes and said, deliberately skipping this matter, and then sighed softly, "Master Shi's In dealing with the world, he can give up the panacea, magic weapon, and magic weapon obtained from the ruins, and choose gold and silver vulgar objects, which shows that he has a long-term vision, and he should be a person with long sleeves, good dancing, and exquisite skills. Such a person will not easily form a deadly enmity with others, so why is he called What about destroying the gate?"

Speaking of this, Lan'er was both dazed and wronged, her eyes slowly turned red.

Yes, the Shi family has always been wise and kind to others. The master and wife have helped many people over the years. No one in the ten miles and eight villages mentioned that Master Shi is a great kind person, but...but why, such a good person, ended up in the end? Such a miserable end?

Why is this world so unfair, why are good people not rewarded?

Xiao Minglou stood up, and lightly patted the girl on the shoulder: "It's my fault. I came here to thank you, but I just talked about your sadness."

He took out a wine jug from the seemingly ordinary baggage as if by magic, hooked the wine rope with his slender fingers, and pulled the tassel like a flower tassel to pull it out. The wine lid was lifted, and the rich and mellow wine fragrance immediately overflowed. Filled the room.

Xiao Minglou poured the wine into the teacup in front of Lan'er: "Others replace wine with tea, and I will replace tea with wine to apologize to you. After drinking this cup of wine, you will forget about your sorrows. You are still the lively and lovely person with sharp teeth and mouth." Miss Lan'er, huh?"

Coaxing softly, his deep and gentle voice was as intoxicating as fine wine, Xiao Minglou coaxed Lan Er dizzy with a single word, he unconsciously picked up the teacup in front of him, poured the tempting and mellow transparent wine inside drink up.

This wine is very wonderful, when it first enters the throat, it feels soft and sweet, like fruit wine and sweet juice, it evokes the taste buds of a girl.When the wine dripped down slowly, she felt a gentle and sweet warm current, her internal organs and limbs became light, as if there was no discomfort in her body.

Lan'er let out a breath of turbid air slowly, and her whole body became much lighter, and her face was no longer full of gloom, as if she had just woken up from a big dream, still faintly drunk.

She stood up and stretched her waist: "Hehe... your wine has really strong stamina. It's as if I had a dream in a flash. It's amazing!" Lan Er smashed her mouth, her mouth The sweet smell has not dissipated, which made her have an endless aftertaste.

"Is the most expensive wine in my shop not good?" Xiao Minglou pouted, and slowly put the cap back on the wine.

Immediately, the smell of wine in the room faded a lot, leaving only a little intoxicating fragrance.

At this moment, Lan'er has recovered the vivaciousness she had when she first came in. She seems to have forgotten what she said to Xiao Minglou before, and she stuck out her tongue at him: "Anyway, I've already drunk the wine, so it's still your guest." , you can't go back and invite me such a good wine!"

"Yes, yes, I don't regret it at all." Xiao Minglou touched the exquisitely crafted jug, feeling a little distressed.

Lan Er giggled, jumped up quickly and said: "I have to go back to serve my lady, goodbye!"

He was about to leave in a hurry, afraid that Xiao Minglou would regret it and come to her to ask for the money for the drink.

Qi Chang waited until Lan'er closed the door with a "bang", then turned around and asked him, "What did you drink for her?"

"Precious nectar and jade liquid." Xiao Minglou hooked his lips, took out a clean wine glass, and poured wine into it carefully.

Looking up, seeing Qi Chang still frowning and looking at him, he chuckled lightly, pushed the wine glass, and motioned for him to come and drink.

"I didn't lie to her. This wine is indeed the best wine in the shop. It's called 'Wangyou'. As the name suggests, drinking it can make you forget your troubles and sorrows. Ordinary people drink a cup, as if they just woke up from a drunk, refreshed , can also relieve fatigue. But this wine can't change the memory, it is said to forget worries, but in fact it just temporarily suppresses the recent sad things in the bottom of my heart, the higher the cultivation base, the less useful this wine will be."

Qi Chang sat down beside Xiao Minglou, picked up the wine glass, and first sniffed it lightly. The aroma of the wine was indeed extraordinary, and even before tasting it, one could feel the slightest sweetness.

When the wine entered his throat, the ethereal feeling like falling into the clouds also followed, Qi Chang closed his eyes and relaxed involuntarily.

But he is different from Lan'er, Lan'er is so drunk after a drink, but Qi Chang's mind is still clear.Although he closed his eyes, he could still hear all directions, and there was a slight sound of cloth rubbing beside him, and he could react quickly, making a sudden move, and grabbing hard!

"It hurts, it hurts!" Xiao Minglou was about to cry, his lips were drawn into a line, and there was a faint look of grievance in his eyes, and he stared at him, "You're going to break my wrists. "

"Feel sorry."

Qi Chang let go of his hands, but his eyes were full of vigilance and confusion.

Xiao Minglou took back his hand, rubbed his white and soft wrist, and hummed softly: "Look, this is the difference between you and others, a cup of Wangyou won't make you drunk at all."

Qi Chang didn't get distracted by his changing the subject, he just stared into Xiao Minglou's eyes and asked, "Why did you sneak attack me just now?"

"You found out, can it still be called a sneak attack?" Xiao Minglou muttered and pouted.

Qi Chang: "..."

He had never seen such a brazen person.

At that moment before, Qi Chang felt that Xiao Minglou really wanted to do something to him, it was definitely not as simple as making a joke.But Xiao Minglou wanted to pass the test by pretending to be stupid, and Qi Chang really didn't know how to continue asking.

Who let him "buy" himself from Shi Yueying?

Xiao Minglou moaned and poked the back of Qi Chang's hand, and continued to change the topic: "You don't protect Miss Shi, what are you doing here with me, so you don't worry about Zhang brothers attacking her?"

"Didn't you ask me to come up to serve you?" Qi Chang's mind turned quickly this time, and he was not affected by Wangyoujiu at all, "Besides, they won't do anything until they arrive in Wucheng."

Xiao Minglou revealed an expression of interest: "How did you see that?"

"You want them to avoid Wucheng, and the place where the Wuyun treasure car is going now is Wucheng. Now we have preliminarily judged that the Zhang family is related to the Shi family's massacre. If I guess correctly, Wucheng is the place to go." The most convenient place for them to attack. In addition, from the words of girl Lan'er, I dare to infer that among the jewels that Master Shi took away back then, there must be something that the Zhang family wanted. As long as they don't get that thing, Miss Shi is safe."

After explaining the reason, Qi Chang paused, and then said, "Furthermore...Miss Shi's heart is all on Zhang Dalang, if I stand between them, she will only annoy me even more."

Xiao Minglou clapped his hands slowly, and smiled at him: "Wonderful, you don't have brute force like they said, but they missed it, and I picked up the treasure."

Qi Chang looked directly into his smiling eyes: "What is there in Wucheng? Why do the Zhang family brothers have to go there?"

"There is fog in the foggy city." Xiao Minglou lazily leaned on him, and before Qi Chang stiffened his body to push him away, he raised his arms around his neck, resting his head on his neck shoulder, blowing lightly at Qi Chang's ear, "The fog in the fog city lasts all year round. Light can shine in and rain can fall, but the wind can't blow it away. This fog is non-toxic and harmless, but it can block Spiritual power. Let's put it this way... If there is a powerful man in the period of transcending the catastrophe who kills in Wucheng, let him destroy the world, move mountains and fill the sea, this power will not pass through the fog and be known to the outside world .

"—So Wucheng is a real place where filth is hidden, where dragons and snakes mingle, vicious thieves, murderous devils, bandits entrenched in the mountains... In short, there are all kinds of monsters and ghosts. Only after entering is the real place. There's nowhere to turn for help."
