Chapter 58 Meet

Chapter 58 Meet

The more people gathered in Pingxiang Town, and it was already overcrowded on the third day of Li Mulai. Many later monks had no place to live, so they had to borrow farmers at a high price. Even after the farmhouse was full of people, they had to set up a tent outside the town for zero-time living.

On the road to foreign officials, there are still people coming here one after another. Most of the monks drive with their feet, but seven or eight people ride tall horses and walk in the crowd. The monks beside him looked at one after another and couldn't help frowning.

The rider is led by a pair of handsome men and beautiful women, men's gold crowns and jade belts, golden jade clothes, and silver boots, and you can feel a high spirit from afar. The woman is dressed in blue crystal silk, and her long sea-blue hair is naturally on her back, which is beautiful. They were followed by five armored guards, but they didn't know which side they came from. But it is certain that they are not monks, but more like princes and nobles.

The woman looked at the town ahead from afar, and a trace of affection came out from the depths of her beautiful agate jewel-like eyes. Will he come?" The woman sighed in her heart.

"guest officer, Dongdong...guest officer." Li Mu was practicing when the voice of Xiao Er in the inn suddenly sounded outside the door. Collecting the purple gas and withdrawing the boundary, Li Mu thought it was Xiao Er who delivered the meal and quickly opened the door. But Xiao Er was empty-handed, with a white rag on his shoulders, and looked at Li Mu with a bow and a smile.

Li Mu frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" Nothing dares to disturb my practice, which is somewhat unpleasant.

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Mr. Guest, you have been living in the store for a long time. Do you think you can settle the bill first?"

"Checkout? Why, I'm afraid that I won't give you money." Li Mu looked at Xiao Er coldly. Xiao Er in the store had a cold war all over his body and said politely, "No, guest officer, don't get me wrong. It is only because there are more and more people in the small town that the number of guest rooms is already in short supply, and the shopkeeper's helplessness takes the method of collecting rent first and then staying in the store. The shop is not aimed at you alone. All guests should be like this. Please forgive me.

"Real, how much is it?" Li Mu is not embarrassed by them. After all, the food cooked in this restaurant is still to his own taste. And Li Mu seems to have learned another trick to make more money by knowing how to make more money.

Xiao Er came prepared, took out Li Mu's bill and looked at it, and said, "Sir, the room money for three days is three taels, one meal and three meals, and each meal is seven taels and four yuan, a total of 66 taels and six cents. Ha ha, it's a very auspicious number. A total of 69 taels of silver, guest officer, do you have a look?" Xiao Er handed over the bill, which was very detailed, including the price of each dish.

The moment he got the bill, Li Mu suddenly felt a little burned. I'm used to eating and drinking. I seldom pay for it myself, and I don't know how much to eat in a meal. I didn't expect to spend so much money in three days. And I have less than 40 taels of silver in total.

"Well, that, take me to see your shopkeeper." Li Mu hummed unnaturally and then said seriously.

Xiao Er thought that Li Mu was going to bargain, so he secretly despised and took Li Mu to the front hall counter.

"The shopkeeper, this gentleman has come to pay the bill." Xiao Er said to the shopkeeper and went to greet the other guests.

"Customer, you have a total of 69 taels and six cents. For good luck, I will charge you sixty-six taels. If you want to continue to live, the house price is two taels a day, and three meals a day will be counted separately. The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles and his eyes narrowed into a crack.

Li Mu took out his purse and put it on the counter and said to the shopkeeper, "Master, I came out in a hurry. I didn't have enough silver on my body. You can take 40 taels here first. I will definitely send the rest in the future."

The shopkeeper's smile stiffened, his eyes suddenly opened, and the expression on his face changed again and again. Finally, he calmed down and said, "If you don't have money to be an uncle, do you want to eat and drink for free?"

Li Mu curled his lips and said, "I'll pay for the rest first. You can set up a receipt, and I'll return it twice in the future."

"In the future, the soldiers are in chaos now. If there is no tomorrow today, who knows if there is any future. Besides, you people are sure to travel without a trace. If you don't come back, where will I go to find you? The shopkeeper's urgent way refused to give in.

Li Mu's face sank and said coldly, "Don't you believe me?"

The shopkeeper guessed that Li Mu was mostly a monk, and he was a little afraid. But seeing that Li Mu had only one person, the rest were in groups, and when he heard that they were all decent people, he suddenly had some confidence. He summoned up his courage and said, "Why, if you don't pay for your meal, do you still want to beat people?"

Li Mu was stunned. Before he could say anything, he saw half a hundred shopkeepers suddenly splashing up like an old widow in the countryside: "I hit people. Someone didn't pay for dinner, and they even beat people." His shout immediately attracted the attention of the whole inn, and even many passers-by surrounded him.

"Get out of here early if you don't have money, so that my disciples have no place to live." When he was stunned, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him. He turned his head slightly, but saw two tables of uniformly dressed monks, and the voice came from there.

"What's going on? What's going on." A team of officers and soldiers rushed through the crowd and came in, looked at it arrogantly, and asked again, "Who is making trouble?"

The shopkeeper quickly greeted him and took the first person to cry and said, "Captain Zhou, you are here. He doesn't pay for meals, and he still wants to beat people."

"Oh, there's such a thing. Come with us." Several officers and soldiers didn't say a word and came up to arrest people. However, as soon as the claws approached Li Mu, they were suddenly frozen into ice cubes, and several people turned into ice sculptures in an instant.

Li Mu took a cold look at the shopkeeper and said coldly, "I'll pay you back the rest of the money in a few days." After saying that, he was ready to leave.

However, the group of Taoist priests around him sarcastically said, "It's really a scum in our monastic world to bully ordinary people with Taoism."

"What did you say?" Li Mu looked coldly at the speaker, but he was just a young man in his early 30s. Although the man's appearance is ordinary, there is always a sense of pride between his eyebrows, as if no one pays attention to him. Seeing him, Li Mu unconsciously thought of Xihai Aofeng, who was also annoying.

"I said you were a scum, and today I will discipline you for your master. In the future, I will walk around the world and restrain myself a little." The young man said lazily.

"Haha..." Li Mu seemed to hear the most ridiculous joke in the world and laughed angrily. I always thought I was arrogant enough, but I didn't expect to meet a crazier person today. Is there anything more ridiculous than teaching the master? I'm afraid that even the Buddha dare not say such a thing.

"You, what are you laughing at?" The young man frowned and asked, with a little anger between his eyebrows.

Li Mu was about to teach this crazy and boundless man when a clear voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Because you are too self-sufficient."

The sound is very familiar and pleasant, as if the sound of a piano from the bottom of the sea knocks into people's hearts. It turned out that I hadn't seen it for many years, and this voice is still clearly remembered in my heart. When we met again, a little memory gushed out in an instant.

When everyone looked around, they saw a woman push through the crowd and came in, followed by a handsome man and five armored bodyguards. The woman looked at this side deeply, but came to the young Taoist priest and said proudly, "You don't even deserve to know his name, and you dare to mention his master."

"Who are you?" When the young Taoist priest saw a fairy-looking woman stand up for Li Mu, he was suddenly a little jealous.

"I'm his apprentice. If you can beat me, it's not too late to challenge him." The woman smiled.

Seeing this woman again, a trace of warmth flashed in Li Mu's heart. Now look at the woman silently and see what tricks she is playing.

"He is your master!" The young Taoist priest was surprised, and the monks around him were all surprised. After all, Li Mu's age is there. What qualifications does he have to be someone else's master?

"Wow, he is qualified to be a master at such a young age!" Tianji sent disciples to look at Li Mu enviously. The head of the Tianji faction sneered and said, "That woman is obviously joking. She is just playing with the safe Taoist priest."

"Oh." The disciple nodded with a satisfactory look.
