Bai Yujing

=====================

The waiter at the Peach Blossom Inn saw Lin Yan coercing the monster that troubled them, and said enthusiastically: "This guest officer," he seemed to be seeing a great benefactor, with stars in his eyes, "Would you like to come here?" what to eat?"

Lin Yan glanced at him, it was a strange face, thinking about the past hundred years, the waiter at the Peach Blossom Inn has changed from batch to batch, he took the brochure and ordered two simple and bland dishes, and heard that the waiter who was called The hostage monster moaned and said, "I want to eat meat."

Lin Yan: "..."

"Then let's add meat."

"You are so kind," said the monster, "Good sir, can you let me go?"

"I let you go, you promise not to slip away?"

After getting the guarantee, Lin Yan took Qingye away with a flick of his finger, but stared at him with perfect eyes, causing the latter to say helplessly: "I am a trustworthy person, and I chased and killed Fu Yang because he lied to me."

He sat on the chair with a big knife, rubbed his muscles and wrists, and said: "Your Excellency is excellent in kungfu and deep in internal strength. Although you can subdue me, you treat me with courtesy. Let me believe that you are not a thief like Fu Yang." In view of this feast, I want to make friends with you."

"Lin Yan."

The monster repeated the name with a smack of mouth, and said: "Your Excellency, you can call me Changsheng."

"Fu Yang and I have only met each other a few times, so we are not close friends." Lin Yan took a sip of the tea served by the store, "I don't know how he offended you?"

Chang Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, do you know that Fu Yang is the owner of the sixth floor of the Wuming Building?"

Lin Yan nodded slightly, "I once bought clues from him."

"Then have you been deceived by him?"

Lin Yan thought about it for a while, and thought that if there was no such thing as Tu Yuexian at the time, he would have given him the fake map, which should be regarded as deceit, so he nodded under Changsheng's painful gaze.

"Sure enough!" Chang Sheng seemed to have found a comrade-in-arms who shared the same hatred with great difficulty. He slapped the table and pulled Lin Yan's wrist, "Let's go, let's settle the score with him!"

The next moment, there was no pull.

The two pairs of eyes faced each other silently in the inn, and finally Chang Sheng let go of his hand silently, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, seeing the flesh and blood uniformly stop, I didn't expect that... it is not an exaggeration to say that it is powerful."

Lin Yan withdrew his wrist calmly, took another sip of tea, and said casually, "Why don't you tell me how he lied to you first."

"I have an old friend who died about a hundred years ago. When he died, I couldn't see him in Nether due to some insignificant reasons. When I finally arrived in Nether, I heard that he had entered reincarnation. I regret it so far."

"You are looking for Wuminglou because you want to ask him where he is reincarnated and what he is?"

After a ghost jumps off the reincarnation well and reincarnates, except for those who deliberately modified their fate, whether they can be reincarnated as a human again depends on good fortune.

Na Changsheng nodded quickly and said, "Exactly."

"Unfortunately, his luck is not good. Every time he is reincarnated, he fails to become an adult, and I have never talked to him."

After a person dies and turns into a ghost, he can still stay in the nether world for a certain period of time according to his own wish, but if animals, flowers and plants die, they will directly enter the reincarnation of the next life, let alone stay in the netherworld.

"Therefore, I can only inquire about his whereabouts through the Wuming Building again and again, and then go to the human world to spend this life with him. I hate Fu Yang this time and refuse to tell me where the old man is and what he said before. Going to investigate for me has already alarmed his wife Zhang Shuling, who threatened to divorce him, so Fu Yang uttered nonsense, saying that he would only be able to investigate for me unless I gave a hundred thousand spirit stones."

"That's a lot of money indeed."

Lin Yan had just finished feeling, but Chang Sheng waved his hand, like a big spender, "Lingshi is a small matter, I quickly prepared [-] Lingshi for him, but he turned his back on it, saying that no matter how many spirit stones there are, he will not check them." gone."

Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a look at Chang Sheng without any trace.

After Shi Tianqing said before that he could use spirit stones to judge whether he was a fairy official, Lin Yan checked it on purpose when he was in Baiyujing. Apart from buying and selling the spirit stones of fairy officials, the biggest source of them was the worship of mortals. .

The more offerings, the stronger the aura, and the more spirit stones that can be turned into. Most of the spirit stones in Lin Yan's hands come from this.

This spirit stone is essential to the cultivation of immortals. Even for some immortals who are lazy and unwilling to spend energy on cultivation, if they have a lot of spirit stones, they can quickly improve their level by refining a large number of spirit stones. One's own internal strength is a shortcut.

In addition, even demons, ghosts, and mortal cultivators must rely on spirit stones to complete their cultivation, which is enough to see their preciousness.

Therefore, as Shi Tianqing said, except for the immortal officials, there are very few people who can take out such a number of spirit stones at one time, and even if they can, most of them are not willing to give up.

The immortal in front of him, Lin Yan had never seen him in Bai Yujing's book of fairy officials, and he was able to easily take out such a huge amount of spirit stones at once, it is really... a little strange.

However, he asked him about the origin of the spirit stone in a grand manner. Thinking about it, even if his nerves were as long as longevity, it would be hard not to be on his guard against him. In order not to startle the snake, Lin Yan thought for a moment, and followed his voice: "Do you know why he backtracked?"

"It's just those old reasons from before," Changsheng snorted coldly, "He thought I couldn't raise a hundred thousand spirit stones, so he opened his mouth, but he didn't expect that I would actually take it out, telling him to be ashamed, and he can't do anything to me , had no choice but to avoid me, but I'm not that easy to mess with."

"That shouldn't disturb the business of ordinary stores." Lin Yan disagreed, "Don't do to others what you don't want."

Chang Sheng seemed to be choked, and it took him a while to recover from his anger, nodded and said: "Mr. is right."

Lin Yan looked up in surprise, and heard him say: "My old friend also often taught me not to blame others, and not to cause trouble to others because of my own affairs. I was reckless."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Lin Yan always feels that Changsheng is like a wild beast in his heart bound by rituals and music. Occasionally, he will become unreasonable if he loses control, but once he wakes up the restraint in his heart, he will come back again. Can wake up, like a real person.

Changsheng didn't know what Lin Yan was thinking, so he just continued, "Thank you sir for stopping me today, so that I can reflect on myself, so that I can live up to my old friend's teachings." How about I invite you after a light meal?"

Lin Yan looked at him with a smile, and pushed the spirit stone back, "We meet here today, because of fate, you don't have to do this."

Xiaoer was serving dishes at the banquet, and when he heard what the two said, he almost knelt down and kowtowed directly to the awakened Changsheng. He wanted to thank Lin Yan, and heard Changsheng continue with tears in his eyes: "It is said that this inn is very good at storytelling. , would you like to hear it?"

The little one hurriedly said: "Thank you, sir, for your understanding. Since you want to listen to the book, I will invite you to come and speak for you for free, and you will not be charged."

Changsheng shook his head, "This is impossible, you should not only accept my money, but also a gift from me." He stood up, bowed to Xiao Er politely, looked around again, and turned to the shopkeeper who was busy. Together they clasped their hands together and said, "I've been bothering and offending you a lot in the past few days, which has affected everyone's business. I'm sorry for Changsheng."

He never expected that this person would be so capable of correcting his mistakes. Shocked, the little girl said with tears in her eyes, "What do you want to hear?"

Chang Sheng said to Lin Yan: "Sir, let's choose."

Lin Yan recalled that in the Peach Blossom Inn in the past, Mr. Qingmai's words were the most popular, so he said to the waiter: "Why don't we just talk about Mr. Qingmai."

"After we changed the owner, the owner disliked the cliché of the story of Mr. Qing Mi, and now he has stopped talking about it," Xiao Er wondered: "Nowadays, "Fox Fairy Palace" and "Feng Yue Lu" are popular."

Lin Yan twitched the corner of his mouth. These were not Shi Tianqing's favorites. He wondered why the Renaissance came up again, but he shook his head and chose one of the two books, "Then "Fengyuelu"."

"That's it!" The shop waiter threw the towel over his shoulder, and said happily, "I'll invite someone to go for you."

As soon as he walked to the backyard and wanted to call the storyteller over, his new employer suddenly stopped him and said, "I'll go."

"Master?" Xiaoer was stunned. Although the new owner spent a lot of effort to find the script of "Feng Yuelu" and sent people to practice it for a long time, but he can't tell the story himself. Leading the owner to the main hall, he hurriedly dug out the scriptures and chased after him.

"Boss, take the manuscript."

The man with black hair like a waterfall of ink slightly frowned, stretched out his hand to block it slightly, "No need."

Lin Yan watched a swaying figure suddenly appear behind the rolling curtain, and after taking his seat, he looked at the gavel in his hand as if self-serving, slapped it lightly, and then spoke seriously.

Lin Yan glanced lightly at the shadow falling on the barrier, melted out a bowl of grapes for himself, and handed another bowl to Changsheng, all as snacks while listening to stories.

This "Fengyuelu" is about a son who looks like a banished fairy. When he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, he met a beautiful fox demon. Just listening to the beginning, there is still a bit of "Liaozhai".

Because of his like-mindedness, the young man didn't care about the different paths of the monster, and actually introduced the fox demon lady as a confidante. Not only did he make a private appointment for life, he even went in and out with her all day long, ate and lived together.

Until the two arrived in the capital together, the youngest son won the laurel in the Toad Palace and passed the imperial examination, he thought about marrying the fox demon lady into the home with a big sedan chair, but unexpectedly, on the eve of the wedding, a Taoist cast a spell on the fox demon, making the fox demon The monster showed its true form, lost its mind, and bit the young master.

Only then did the young master know that the fox demon was originally set up by a Taoist with strong spells on purpose, and it was designed only to extract a magic weapon from the young master's family. If the magic weapon is not handed over, the young master will undoubtedly die.

Just as he was talking about this, Lin Yan suddenly laughed and said, "That Taoist's spells are so powerful that he can even drive away tigers and wolves, why didn't he just hold young master hostage and force him to ask where the treasure is, instead of setting up some kind of fox demon?" ?”

"Perhaps it's because," the slightly lower voice came from behind the screen, pleasing to the side of the ear, "That fox demon doesn't like Taoist priests either."

The little Ergang was worried about the boss who did whatever he wanted and acted unrestrainedly. He was always on the sidelines, watching the story of the boss getting more and more biased. It wasn't "Fengyuelu" at all, but he didn't dare to speak until Now that the spectators finally heard it, he sighed and walked forward to smooth things over with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, our storyteller is in a hurry. This is our boss's temporary replacement class. If you two are not used to it, I will go and urge the storyteller. I will never overcharge you two."

Chang Sheng was fascinated by listening, when he heard what Lin Yan said, he suddenly felt quite reasonable, so he echoed: "That's true."

"It's just an absurd story, the guest officer doesn't need to pursue it so far," the storyteller also said with a smile: "Since you don't like my story, then I won't tell it."

The man lifted the curtain and sat directly opposite Lin Yan, with a faint smile on his lips, he picked up a grape, and the watery and bright grape lost water in an instant and turned into a raisin.

He casually fed the dried fruit into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and stared at Lin Yan with a pair of breathtaking eyes.

"I haven't seen him in a hundred years, but Ah Yan is still as handsome and as smart as before."

Lin Yan met his gaze and said amusedly, "If you don't cover up your voice, why do you need to block this heavy curtain?" From the moment he opened his mouth, Lin Yan recognized that it was Shi Tianqing's voice.

"It's rare that Ah Yan still remembers my voice after such a long absence." He took another grape and turned it into a dried grape, and handed it to Lin Yan's mouth.

Lin Yan raised his eyes and glanced at him, then took his hand to eat the raisin into his mouth, "It's too sweet," he frowned, "Is this the same story in the original "Feng Yue Lu"?"

"No," Shi Tianqing said, "We meet again after a long absence, of course we must write an ingenious book, so as to live up to Ah Yan who came to see me specially."

Chang Sheng was stunned for a while, and then said, "Are you two friends?"

Lin Yan said lightly, "My friend."

Shi Tianqing smiled lowly and said, "Since you are an enemy, why did you come to look for me as soon as the ban was lifted?"
