Chapter 14 Xuanlong
After dinner, Zhang Xun and Mu Nanqing left the inn and prepared to have a look in Zhuyang City. Originally, Zhang Xun was ready to leave immediately to look for Li Qianye, but these days were too tired. He was afraid that Mu Nanqing could not stand it, so he paused for a day and went to look for it.
Although the small town is small, it is also very lively. Although it is not as prosperous as the Imperial City, various shops and street stalls are also crowded with several streets. There are endless shouts on the street, selling snacks, entertainment, and all kinds of things.
Zhuyang City is located in the middle of the Three Gorges, and the Three Gorges are located in the southwest of China, far away from the Central Plains. The customs of cultivation are very popular here, and ordinary people are not as strange to practitioners as in the Central Plains, and practitioners will also be seen on the street.
The two walked around. Because they were worried about Li Qianye's safety, Zhang Xun was not in the mood to continue playing. After watching for a while, they would go back to the inn. Mu Nanqing also knew that Zhang Xun was not in the mood to go shopping, so he followed him back to the inn.
On the way back, I passed by a restaurant and heard a loud quarrel inside. A middle-aged man is arguing with the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, please be flexible. I really forgot to bring silver this time. I will definitely come back to you next time. The middle-aged man pleaded.
The shopkeeper didn't seem to eat this set and waved his hand impatiently and said, "This store has never been credited since its opening. What kind of wine do you drink if you don't have money? Hurry up and take out the silver and give it to me. Don't delay my business.
"Shopkeeper, I really forgot to bring silver. Just this time! I promise to return it to you next time, really!" The big man continued to beg.
"How many times do you have to say it before you understand!? Hurry up and take out the money and settle the wine money. Don't delay my business! Did you hear that!?
The middle-aged man still refused to agree when he saw the shopkeeper, and couldn't help but be angry. He patted the counter and said loudly, "Do you see the sword behind me!? I'm a real fairy! And I will pay you a debt because of your little wine money!? I'm asking you again! This wine money will be credited here. When I come back to you next time, will you promise or not!?
The shopkeeper was shocked by his shot and said calmly in a blink of an eye, "Real fairy? Do you think our place is in the Central Plains? Haven't you seen Xiuzhen? I can tell you that there are many immortals in Zhuyang City. Don't think that you can pay for this wine. Hurry up and give the money for the wine, or I will take you to the government. Our county government is not an ordinary place. There are also immortals in it, and they are also very powerful. It's still very easy to catch you.
When the middle-aged man saw that the shopkeeper was soft and hard, he waved his fist and wanted to hit him. At this time, Zhang Xun shouted, "Please stop this good man!"
The big man stopped when he heard the words and said doubtfully to Zhang Xun outside, "What's wrong with this little brother?"
Zhang Xun walked into the store and said to the big man, "This good man, as the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't do anything. If there is anything that can be discussed, it's not good to hit people.
The big man grabbed Zhang Xun and said, "Little brother, you judge. I forgot to bring silver this time. I want to pay on credit first. Next time I come, I will definitely pay him back. At least, he won't. No wonder I'm going to beat someone.
Zhang Xun is depressed that this big man is really a rude person. If everyone came to eat and drink like him, the restaurant would have been closed long ago. And he also feels that it makes sense.
"Don't worry, I'll help you discuss with the shopkeeper." After saying that, he turned to the shopkeeper and said, "The shopkeeper, this good man is a true man. I think he really forgot to bring silver. You can credit him first and let him give it to you next time. He is a man of truth, and he doesn't care about your money.
"This really can't be done. Among other things, you also know that he is a true man. These true practitioners are all running all over the world. Who knows where he will go out of this door now and will not return here.
Zhang Xun couldn't help but have a headache when he heard the words, and the shopkeeper refused to give in. After thinking about it, he took out an ingot of silver from his arms and put it on the counter and said to the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, since you won't give in, I'll pay for the wine for this hero."
After saying goodbye to the old gentleman that day, Li Qianye thought it was too annoying to take things and let Zhang Xun keep the money in his arms. The money that fell into the arms of the river that day was not washed away by the water.
When the big man saw that Zhang Xun helped him pay the money, he was immediately overjoyed and said to Zhang Xun, "Little brother is really a good man. In Xia Xuanlong, I don't know who the little brother's surname is?
Zhang Xun replied modestly, "My next name is Zhang Mingxun."
The big man patted Zhang Xun happily and said, "Thank you, Zhang Xun. Depending on your age, you should not be as old as me, so I'll call you brother. Haha" The big man laughed cheerfully.
Out of the restaurant, Zhang Xun and Mu Nanqing continued to walk to the inn. Xuanlong grabbed Zhang Xun in the back and said, "Where are you going, little brother?"
Zhang Xun said, "We live in Fenglai Inn, and now we are going back to the inn. Is there anything wrong with Xuanlong?"
Xuanlong smiled and said, "My little brother just helped me. I want to thank my little brother. Brother, you just knew that I am a practitioner, so I want to teach you some cultivation skills.
"The man of cultivation?" Zhang Xun said something lightly and suddenly thought of something. Brother, are you a true person!? Can you do me a favor?"
Xuanlong said boldly, "No problem, brother, you just helped me. I, Xuanlong, am very loyal. What did you say and listen to me?
"It's not convenient to talk here. Please go to the Fenglai Inn with me. I'm talking to the eldest brother.
When they arrived at the Fenglai Inn, the three of them found a seat and sat down. Let the second brother have a few dishes of his heart and a pot of good tea.
Xuanlong took a big mouthful of snacks. After taking a sip of tea, he said, "Brother, what do you want me to help you? Talk to me and listen to me."
Zhang Xun looked at him eating and drinking, and thought depressedly, didn't he eat just now? How could he still eat so well? Hearing Xuanlong ask him, Zhang Xun quickly told him about the fall into the river that day, but he didn't say that he and Mu Nanqing entered the palace, and casually found a reason to cover up how he and Mu Nanqing got to the shore.
After listening to Zhang Xun's narration, Xuanlong thought for a moment and said, "This is a strange thing. How can there be a whirlpool on the river for no reason? Xuanlong is very good at practicing real skills, but I can't find someone. Well, I'll accompany you two to find your friend. Although I am a true person, I am not like those who practice truth. I always think about how to reach the extreme, break the heaven and become an immortal. I only want to be free in this world, and I will help you find your friends in the future.
