Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 1003 Overhaul is coming soon

In the twelfth lunar month, heavy snow fell.

Xu Zhiqiong, who had practiced for half a year, walked to the border of Yuanzhou.

Xu Zhiqiong was very puzzled, Daxuan was rich, and Fanxiao Kingdom was also rich, but why the border between the two countries was poor.

After walking this way, Xu Zhiqiong found the reason.

Between the two countries, there is a desert that almost runs through the north and the south. This desert not only affects the trade between the two countries, but also affects the climate of the two places, making the borders of the two countries not rich.

Walking to Kuchong County on the border of Yuanzhou, Xu Zhiqiong took out a copper coin and did a fortune-telling: "This is a good place, and I can earn a lot of cultivation here."

The avatar of Chaos looked at the copper coin, not knowing what to make of it. He really couldn't understand Xu Zhiqiong's method of divination.

Kuchung County is a typical frontier place. The county seat is barely popular, and outside the county seat, you may not find a family within a hundred miles.

Chaos sighed and said, "You can't even see people in this place, what great cultivation can you earn? If it wasn't because I owe you a favor, I really shouldn't be wasting my time here with you."

Xu Zhiqiong galloped his horse for a whole day, and finally saw a small town.

This town is called Tartary Buckwheat Town.

You said that it is a town with a small number of people, only one or two hundred households.

You said it was a village, but it was more prosperous than a village, with restaurants and inns.

Xu Zhiqiong and Chaos went to the inn to stay, and after doing some calculations, Xu Zhiqiong decided that the person he was looking for was in the wine shop in the small town.

The Chaos Clone snorted: "Just do the math, he is old or young, male or female."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "It can't be calculated, let's have a glass of wine first."

There was only one restaurant in the town, and the two left their luggage and went.

The wine shop is small, a tile-roofed house, the shopkeeper sells wine at the counter, the daughter is busy in the back kitchen, making some appetizers, and the son is waiting in front to greet the guests.

In addition to the three people in this store, there are five other guests in the restaurant.

Judging from their faces, the two are from Fanxiao. In the past six months, Xu Zhiqiong has often traveled to the country of Fanxiao and learned a lot of Fanxiao's dialect. A businessman who came to announce the horse trade.

There are two other people who are dressed as peasants. They came to the wine shop to have a drink during the winter slack.

The identity of the remaining one is hard to judge. He is about 60 years old, and he is wearing a single suit that is very inappropriate. I don’t know how many years I have worn the clothes. The patches are layered on top of each other. Law supplement.

This should be a beggar, but he can afford to drink, and he even ordered an appetizer.

The old beggar snorted and said, "Let me tell you, when I was walking in the boundary of Huazhou, if you asked me about my name, Chen Wufeng, who wouldn't give a thumbs up?
Lu Bincheng, the big shopkeeper in Qu County, Huazhou, has six Tangquan houses under his command. The family has too much money, and several tile-roofed houses cannot be piled up.
When Lu Bin met me, Chen Wufeng, he had to respectfully call Wuge and arrange a high-quality table for me. If I didn't swallow this dish, he wouldn't dare to move his chopsticks! "

Chaos avatar asked Xu Zhiqiong: "You often go to Huazhou, have you ever heard of a big family named Lu?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "I heard that there really was such a family before."

The old beggar took a sip of his wine, followed by his voice, and continued, "Lu Bincheng has a girl named Lu Qiaoxiang, who looks juicy and very handsome.

There are many beauties in Huazhou, and Lu Qiaoxiang is the beauty among beauties. When she saw me, my fifth elder brother was long and my fifth elder brother was short. She couldn't walk, so she wanted to stick to me. I really didn't look at her directly she……"

The old beggar was talking happily, and the two farmers were also listening.

But at the critical moment, the old beggar stopped talking suddenly. He weighed the wine bottle and shouted at the waiter: "I said, Xiaosheng, your wine is not enough!"

Xiaoshengzi, Jiang Shuisheng, the son of the shopkeeper Jiang Hecai.

Jiang Shui gave the old beggar a blank look, but didn't speak to him.

The old beggar was displeased: "You young man has no rules, why don't you agree to what I'm talking to you?"

Jiang Shuisheng snorted and said, "You've drank so much wine from my house for nothing, why are you picking the portion?"

The old beggar frowned and said, "Why do you call it for nothing? You won't be able to hear the things I told you no matter how much money you spend!"

Jiang Shuisheng spat and said: "Make up a bunch of sleepless talk, come here to drink and drink, why don't you go to the street to tell a book!"

"You baby..." The old beggar was very annoyed, and the old shopkeeper Jiang Hecai hurriedly gave the old beggar another [-] cents of wine.

"Fifth brother, don't be angry, drink, drink."

The old beggar snorted and said: "You are still sensible, your son has to take care of it!"

Jiang Hecai paid the old beggar again, and then returned to the counter.

Jiang Shuisheng frowned and said, "Father, he never pays for the drinks, why do you always let him?"

Jiang Hecai waved his hands and said, "Go to work, harmony makes money."

Chaos Clone and Xu Zhiqiong sat in the corner, ordered a few small dishes, and drank while listening to the old beggar bragging.

Chaos asked Xu Zhiqiong with the sound transmission technique: "Tell me, how can you earn a major cultivation in this place?"

Xu Zhiqiong responded: "It depends on the opportunity. Although the opportunity has not arrived, there are already signs."

"Tell me what the sign is?"

"In this room, counting you and me, there are a total of seven guests, and the four true gods, Canglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, also have seven stars. You said the number seven is very special, isn't it?
I came to this restaurant today, and I happen to be the seventh guest, doesn't this mean that I will be promoted to a star in the restaurant? "

Chaos blinked and stared at Xu Zhiqiong for a while.

squeak ~
Someone opened the door and entered the restaurant. It was a handsome young man.

Chaos said: "Now there are eight guests, what do you say?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Eight guests, isn't that one more? One more guest means one more star, and the extra star, isn't it just me?"

Chaos blinked and was speechless for a while.

That handsome young man was called Han Ruqing. Instead of sitting down to drink, he went into the back kitchen to find the shopkeeper's daughter, Jiang Xiulu.

Needless to say, the folk customs here are not closed, the young couple had a heated chat, and there were laughter and noises from the back kitchen from time to time.

The old shopkeeper Jiang Hecai coughed, and said to his son Jiang Shuisheng: "Go and watch, don't let them mess around."

Jiang Shuisheng snorted and said, "What I'm going to see is a good thing for the two of you."

Jiang Hecai said angrily: "What a good thing, let you go!"

With a sullen face, Jiang Shuisheng went to the back kitchen muttering.

Not long after, a few more guests came in, and Chaos counted them seriously: "Now there are nineteen people, tell me, how can you explain this hexagram?"

"Nineteen people, this is called a sure thing, and it means that my constellation is sure!"

Chaos gave a long sigh, picked up an egg and said, "Look at how you have torn this egg up."

"You still don't believe it, do you?" Xu Zhiqiong smiled, "Let's make a bet, if I earn this cultivation base, you can teach me the unknown skill."

Chaos said with a sullen face: "How come, you earn a cultivation base, and I will give you skills, and you will take advantage of it."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "This is for the friendship between us."

"What friendship do I have with you?"

Xu Zhiqiong said very seriously: "I have learned techniques from you, which is equivalent to learning techniques from Chaos True God. This is true, right?"

"That's right." The Chaos Clone nodded seriously.

"I have learned techniques from Chaos God, so I am equivalent to Chaos God's disciple, isn't that true?"

The Chaos Clone thought for a moment, and felt that it made sense.

Xu Zhiqiong said again: "You are a part of the Chaos God, and I am a disciple of the Chaos God. We are brothers. This brother has affection. Shouldn't you teach me some techniques?"

The Chaos Clone was silent for a moment, his eyebrows inadvertently dropped to his chin.

After a while, a mouth suddenly grew out of his nose, and there were two eyeballs in the mouth.

After a dozen suctions, the chaotic and distorted expression returned to normal.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Tell me first, do you want to be a junior or a senior brother."

Chaos rubbed his cheeks and said, "You'd better keep talking nonsense, and don't talk about me."

……

There are more and more people in the wine shop, most of them are farmers in the town, they are drinking while listening to the old beggar bragging, then the beggar seems to be transformed into a storyteller, which really brought a lot of business to the wine shop:
"I went to the border of Chaizhou and bought a green-maned horse for 500 taels of silver. Although it cost a lot of money, it was worth the money. The green-maned horse ran faster than the wind.

I rode this BMW in a happy mood, so I didn't go to the warehouse that night, and took advantage of the night to rush all the way to the capital.

I estimated that when I got to Chou, eight strong men came and surrounded me, trying to rob me of money and my horse! "

A farmer next to him shouted, "Didn't those eight strong men try to snatch your body?"

The old beggar spat and said: "Do you think the fifth master is a girl of Huanghua? Why did I rob him of my body? I pulled out the knife on the spot, and I said which one of you is more decent, come up and try,
At that time, two thieves rushed up and beat them up. Fifth Master, I went down with a knife, and the two heads fell off on the spot!

The remaining six rushed up one by one, and I still stabbed the fifth master. The six heads were lined up on the ground, neatly, and none of them stood crookedly! "

A farmer said with a smile: "Old man, just blow it!"

The old beggar took a sip of wine and said: "You don't believe me, you go to Chaizhou to find out, ask the local dignitaries, have they heard of my name, Chen Wufeng!"

Another farmer shouted: "Master Wu, you can't do this. We've finished chopping with two knives. We haven't heard enough. Let me ask Mr. Wu to eat a plate of peanuts. Mr. Wu, give us some more peanuts." Tell me something!"

In the middle of the night, the wine shop was closed, and Chaos did not see Xu Zhiqiong and others coming to make a big repair.

Xu Zhiqiong was very patient: "There is no rush for such an opportunity."

The lights in the restaurant were turned off, and the handsome young man Han Ruqing sneaked into Jiang Xiulu's boudoir.

The farmers went home separately, and the old beggar Chen Wufeng was left sleeping in the firewood chopsticks in his single clothes.

The shopkeeper's son, Jiang Shuisheng, came out to pour out the dirt, looked at the old beggar sleeping in the firewood stack, coughed up thick phlegm, and spat on his face.

"Come here every day to eat and drink, and you will freeze to death tonight, you old bastard!"

Jiang Shuisheng left, the old beggar snorted, wiped the phlegm off his face, turned over and went back to sleep.

This sleep lasted until noon, the old beggar stretched himself, wiped off the snowflakes and firewood from his body, and staggered towards the wine shop again.

Walking to the door, I found bloodstains all over the restaurant.

A few onlookers were talking about it, and the old beggar went up to take a look and asked, "What happened?"

A farmer said: "The thieves Qiu Wukui came and started to move on Xiulu. The old shopkeeper was not at home at the time. Han Ruqing chopped Qiu Wukui with a knife. Qiu Wukui suffered a loss. He took his men up the mountain to find someone."

Hearing this, the old beggar understood the situation, and he turned to leave, when suddenly he heard the head of the village, Su Xingong, shout from the room: "Brother Chen, don't go, come in for a glass of wine, you have traveled far and wide, and you have a lot of experience, and you can go out to Lao Jiang's house." idea."

"No more, no more," said the old beggar, waving his hands, "I still haven't sobered up from the wine yesterday, so I have to find a place to sleep."

The old beggar ran away, and the old shopkeeper Jiang Hecai sighed.

Jiang Xiulu cried into tears, Jiang Shuisheng bowed his head and remained silent.

The young man Han Ruqing gritted his teeth and said, "What are you afraid of, I will fight them!"

Xu Zhiqiong whispered to Chaos: "The major cultivation base is coming."
