Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

The old drunkard said with a smile: "So you are going to Kunxu!"

Hearing what the old drunkard said, Lin Bai looked happy and asked, "Is it possible that you know?"

The old drunkard smiled and said: "Of course I know, isn't it Kunxu!"

Lin Bai asked: "Then how can we go to Kunxu?"

"The way to Kunxu..., this...this..., oh, I didn't drink enough wine, I can't remember it!" the old drunkard said with a sad face.

Lin Bai shook his head helplessly, opened the green gourd, and poured wine for the old drunkard again!

The old drunkard picked up the gourd and drank it in one gulp. After finishing the drink, he couldn't help shouting: "Good wine, good wine, oh, it's really good wine!"

Lin Bai smiled and said: "I've drunk too much wine. It's time for you to tell me the way to Kunlu!"

The old drunkard held the wine gourd and said with a smile: "The road to Kunxu is only opened on the fifteenth day of every month."

"Unfortunately for you, it was just fifteen yesterday and there was just one opening. If you want to enter Kunxu, you will have to wait until next month!"

Lin Bai frowned and said, "Open it on the fifteenth day of every month?"

"Do we have to wait until next month to enter Kunxu?"

Lin Bai suddenly frowned.

But then, Lin Bai said: "I have Kunxu's token!"

The old drunkard kept nodding his head: "Yes, yes, everyone who comes here says so!"

"They all said they had tokens!"

"But Kunxu is only open on the 15th day of each month. Even if you have a token, you have to wait until the 15th of the next month to enter Kunxu!"

"Everyone is treated equally!"

The old drunkard waved his hand and said.

"That's it." Lin Bai nodded and said, "I wonder if there is an inn in Lijia Village. I want to stay first!"

The old drunkard shook his head and said: "In this small village of ours, no one even repairs the roads. How can there be an inn?"

"However, if you want to stay, you can stay with me first!"

"Let's talk about it first, I want to collect money!"

The old drunkard looked at Lin Bai and said seriously.

Lin Bai smiled and said: "Since we are renting a house, then of course there is no problem in paying!"

The old drunkard's eyes were filled with stars, and he said with a smile: "Let's talk first, I will only accept real money and silver, never IOUs!"

"Real money?" Lin Bai frowned again.

The old drunkard was startled and asked: "You haven't? Look at you, a young man, dressed so beautifully and generously. How can you be as poor as me, an old drunkard?"

Lin Bai gave a wry smile. Ever since Lin Bai entered the martial arts world, he no longer uses gold and silver. Instead, he uses spiritual stones!

Now if Lin Bai is asked to come up with real money, he really can't do it!

"To be honest, I really don't have one!" Lin Bai said with a wry smile.

The old drunkard said with a sad face: "That's all, that's all. Seeing that you've come a long way, I think it's enough to be stuck on the road!"

"Let's do this, give me the green gourd in your hand, and I'll let you stay!"

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "No, this green gourd is my treasure, it is absolutely impossible to hand it over!"

The old drunkard said displeasedly: "This won't work, that won't work either, then do you still want to live here?"

Lin Bai clasped his fists and said, "Since it's inconvenient for you here, I won't bother you. I'll just go sit on the mountain!"

Lin Bai is a practitioner and can meditate for a month without eating or drinking!

The old drunkard said: "You have to think carefully, there are very powerful venomous snakes and beasts around our Lijia Village!"

"Widow Li's man was taken away by wild beasts because he went hunting in the mountains!"

The old drunkard said threateningly to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai smiled and said: "No problem!"

Just kidding, Lin Bai is still at the ninth level of the realm of life and death. How could he be snatched away by a mere mortal beast?

Seeing Lin Bai about to leave, the old drunkard said helplessly: "Young man, stay and forget it. Seeing that I am destined to you, I won't charge you rent, but you have to give me the wine in the gourd!"

"In addition, you have to help me clean up the house and do some work to pay the rent!"

"how?"

asked the old drunkard.

Lin Bai had already decided to leave.

But the old drunkard said again: "Young man, I have lived in Lijia Village for decades, and I know better than you when Kunxu will open. If you meditate in the mountains, I'm afraid it will be delayed!"

Lin Bai stopped immediately, walked towards the old drunkard and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

"Hey, that's right!"

The old drunkard smiled happily: "Come on, I'll show you your room!"

While he was talking, the old drunkard lined up on Lin Bai's shoulders and walked into Lijia Village!

Walking on the street, Lin Bai saw people from Lijia Village on both sides. After seeing the old drunkard, they seemed to dislike him. They all sneered and avoided him!

But the old drunkard greeted them enthusiastically: "Hey, the daughter of the Li family is getting better and better. She is only thirteen years old and has already become a big girl!"

"Daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, why are you running away? Is there anything else I, an old drunkard, can do to you?"

"Butcher Li, your piece of meat looks stale to me, that's all. In order to prevent others from suffering, I will take this stale meat back and eat it!"

"You, you, you, even if you don't give me meat, you still want to chop me with a knife!"

"Young man, run!"

"..."

Lin Bai followed the old drunkard through a street. Lin Bai found that the old drunkard had offended almost all the people on the street!

Before the old drunkard dragged Lin Bai to a crumbling tile-roofed house, he panted and said, "Butcher Li didn't catch up with me!"

Lin Bai smiled and said: "You run so fast, how can he catch up with you!"

"Hehe!" The old drunkard laughed strangely, looked at the tiled house in front of him, and said with a smile: "Here we are, this is my mansion!"

Lin Bai looked up and saw three crumbling tile houses made of mud in front of him, sloping from east to west, as if they could be blown down by a gust of wind!

When Lin Bai looked up, a tile fell from the main house and smashed to pieces on the ground!

"This is...a mansion?"

Lin Bai said dumbfounded.

The old drunkard said with a smile: "Young man, what do you know? A gold and silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse. Maybe these houses are shabby places in your eyes, but in my eyes, they are like a mansion!"

"Even if someone offers me thousands of gold to buy it, I won't sell it!"

The old drunkard said with a serious face.

Lin Bai nodded slightly: "Yes, you work at sunrise and rest at sunset every day. At least these two tile-roofed houses let you know where you are starting from. It is late at night, and you should know where you are going. Go back somewhere!"

"But what about us!"

"When we step into this restless world, we are wandering around every day!"

"I no longer know where I started from, nor where I am going in the future!"

Lin Bai looked at the old drunkard and smiled and said, "You are better than me. At least you still have two or three tile-roofed houses and a home, but I...have nothing except the sword in my hand!"
