The fairy is fierce

Chapter 24 Xie Qiutao

Zuo Lingquan entered the door of the inn. The large hall was full of seats. Monks in groups of three or three were drinking at the old wine table and looking at the inn counter.

The fat shopkeeper, who is half a person tall at the counter and wearing a clerk's hat, is holding a pen in one hand and calculating today's sales with the other.

In front of the counter, a girl of twenty-eight years old was seen with a package and a pipa hanging on her back. The pipa was either a musical instrument or a weapon. It was dark in color and looked like an iron lump. It was quite heavy. The shoulder straps covered the fabric on her shoulders. Traces were pressed out.

The girl is wearing a white top, a pink pleated skirt underneath, and white embroidered shoes with lace. She is not tall, as petite as a jade pendant, with a round face and a third of baby fat. Her body is well developed, and the semi-circular hill is bulging when viewed from the side. It cannot be said that her waist is as thin as a willow, but it is certainly not thick. Looks fleshy.

Just looking at the profile, she is also a very cute and petite beauty, but the girl's skin is not very good. Although she has good facial features, she has some small freckles.

At this time, the girl was walking towards the stairs with the scroll in her hand, turning back three times to look at the fat shopkeeper.

The fat shopkeeper may have lost his patience and kept silent, settling the accounts on his own.

The girl walked to the stairs and saw no reply. She trotted back again and said crisply:

"How about the shopkeeper give me the key, and I can open the door myself without the help of a waiter."

With such a tough attitude, the shopkeeper had no choice but to take out a sign from under the counter and put it on the table:

"Since you are young and have no place to live when you come from overseas, I will give you a 50% discount. I will pay for the rent out of my own pocket to settle the account with my employer. If you keep talking nonsense, go find another house."

This was obviously because he was afraid that other guests staying in the hotel would be dissatisfied and cause trouble.

The girl understood, picked up the sign and bowed: "Thank you, shopkeeper~", then handed over the money and went up the stairs.

Zuo Lingquan was standing behind him. At this time, he also gave out a few large coins, indicating to open a room, and asked in his heart:

"Toffee, is this girl suspicious? I think she's pretty cute. How can there be such a cute killer in the world?"

There was obviously hesitation on the Huafang side. After several discussions, Shangguan Lingye responded:

"This woman came from overseas. She just got off the ship. The first thing she did was to buy your portrait. She also appeared near you. Well... let's check it out first."

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan didn't say much, took the house sign and walked up the stairs quickly.

The three-story building is very large, with no less than a hundred rooms inside. There are signs such as 'Heaven A, Earth B...' on the door, and there are some monks in the corridors.

The round-faced girl took the house sign and looked at the doors one by one, muttering:

"Isn't it good to just write 'one, two, three, four'? It's so mysterious..."

Zuo Lingquan followed up behind her without haste, because he was investigating a potential killer and there was no need to hide his identity. He passed directly over the little girl, held the sword in his arms, and blocked the way.

"Eh~..."

The girl was obviously frightened and looked cautiously at the handsome swordsman in front of him who was carrying a bamboo hat.

Zuo Lingquan was quite tall. She was as tall as his shoulders at most. She could only see her face clearly if she raised her face. Maybe she felt the pressure was a bit strong, so she took a step back and asked tentatively:

"You...fellow Taoist are the guards of the inn? Did I go to the wrong place?"

It's still a very soft baby voice.

Zuo Lingquan held the sword and examined it. No matter how he looked at it, this girl didn't look like an assassin. He didn't want to scare others. After thinking about it, his guard remained unabated, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Girl, do you think I look familiar?"

"Um?"

The girl blinked her apricot-like eyes, shook her head and said:

"I just came here, and I don't know the experts here yet. Who is this fellow Taoist?"

Zuo Lingquan raised his chin and gestured to the scroll in the girl's hand.

?

The girl was a little confused, but she understood the general meaning. She opened the scroll and looked at it, then looked at Zuo Lingquan, and then looked at the scroll again, comparing it back and forth.

Zuo Lingquan's heartbeat was so tight that even Shangguan Lingye was silent. He was probably preparing to rush over to help when the round-faced girl found out about his identity and launched an attack.

But after the girl looked back and forth many times, she didn't show any strange eyes. Instead, she furrowed her delicate little eyebrows:

"What do you mean, fellow Taoist?"

"Um?"

Zuo Lingquan was a little confused and gestured to the scroll in her hand:

"Girl, haven't you seen it yet?"

The round-faced girl couldn't understand. She felt that the monks here were too nagging. She turned the scroll over and faced Zuo Lingquan:

"What should I see?"

The scroll is worth a white jade baht. Although it is not made of fairy materials, its quality is extraordinary in this world. The pure white paper is framed with silk cloth. On the paper is a vertical painting of a character. The painting is very good and it is also painted.

Zuo Lingquan glanced around and saw the figure in the portrait, wearing a jet-black gold-plated battle armor, with a thirty-six-knot fine gold mace hanging on the left side, and a black sheathed Mo Yuan sword with a dragon pattern hanging on the right side. He was one foot long and had a waist He has a round face, big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth. He has such a big body and a round waist. If it weren't for the lack of beard, it would be hard to say that Situ was shocked.

Holy shit! What the hell is this?

Zuo Lingquan's eyes widened a bit. He thought the round-faced girl had bought the wrong thing, but when he saw the inscription on the lower right, it clearly said:

Nanhuang Jianzi, Shangguan Jiulong, Zhongzhou Wolong, Zuo Jianxian's portrait, handwritten by Dengchao Baixiaosheng. ? !

Zuo Lingquan tilted his head slightly and looked at the portrait for a long time without saying anything.

The round-faced girl held the portrait, looked at Zuo Lingquan, thought about it, and smiled:

"Fellow Taoist, do you want to buy a painting of the Southern Wilderness Sword Dragon? Yes, two white jade bahts. I got this painting from an expert with great difficulty..."

twitter……

Zuo Lingquan folded his arms, feeling a little out of control, and asked in his heart:

"Grandma Toffee..."

"grandmother?!"

"Bah... Madam, what's going on with this portrait?"

Shangguan Lingye was not very surprised and explained:

"The way of spiritual practice emphasizes that 'the dragon sees its head but not its tail'. Famous monks cannot be called by their first names, but are referred to by their honorific titles. The same is true for portraits. Selling graffiti without my permission will cause trouble. Immortal The merchants are very shrewd, so it is not surprising that they are painted like this."

Zuo Lingquan thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case. Seeing that the girl in front of him didn't recognize him, Zuo Lingquan stopped talking and said directly:

"Girl, to be honest, I am Zuo Lingquan, the swordsman of the Southern Wilderness."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the corridor suddenly became tense.

The round-faced girl paused after her sales words, and her expression changed a bit. She looked at Zuo Lingquan unexpectedly, remained silent for a long time, and then whispered:

"I've heard that you nine sect monks have high eyesight. Do you really think that the female cultivators outside us are just country girls, easy to fool? See for yourself, are you worthy?"

As he spoke, he picked up the mighty and domineering portrait of Zuo Jianxian and waved it in front of Zuo Lingquan.

"..."

Zuo Lingquan didn't know what to say. After holding it in for a while, he nodded and said:

"I'm not worthy, it's just a joke. Well... I just heard that the girl is coming from Huajunzhou. I have longed for Huajunzhou for a long time, so I came to say hello..."

Jiliguala...

Zuo Lingquan's normal conversation skills were not that bad, which made several girls in the painting feel anxious secretly.

Needless to say, the little girl put away the scroll and looked at Zuo Lingquan with a slightly wary look. The meaning in her eyes was obviously 'to be courteous for nothing, to commit adultery or to steal'.

Zuo Lingquan felt quite embarrassed at the end of his speech, so he simply bowed his hand and said:

"I'm Zuo Lingquan, I just want to get to know this girl."

The round-faced girl shook her head like a rattle:

"You don't even want to tell me your name. How dare I know you?"

Zuo Lingquan was speechless for a moment.

The round-faced girl may have felt that she refused too directly and was afraid of offending others, so she added:

"But I don't think you are a bad person, you are quite good-looking...hehe~"

"..."

Zuo Lingquan was speechless for a long time, feeling that if the girl in front of him was an assassin, the Youying alien tribe's plan was probably to kill him.

"Sigh... that's all. I really am Zuo Lingquan. If you don't believe me, there's nothing you can do about it. You'll know later. I'm really presumptuous today, so please forgive me and take my leave."

After finishing speaking, Zuo Lingquan was ready to go somewhere to cool off, but after thinking about it, he took out two more white jade bahts and handed them to the girl, and then brought the scroll.

The round-faced girl watched Zuo Lingquan leave, her eyes turned doubtful, she thought for a while and said:

"My name is Xie Qiutao. Fellow Taoist Zuo, please walk slowly."

"Thank you, miss, for taking a rest early. If you need anything, just say hello. I can still help with a little help."

"Okay~"

squeak

The door is closed.

Miss Xie put away the white jade baht, looked at it a few more times, then came to the next door and opened the door...
