Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 33
Although this town is not as prosperous as Chang'an, it is still very lively when it catches up with the golden autumn harvest.

Ren Qinglian walked aimlessly, and unknowingly came to a restaurant.

Hero House.

Looking at the large signboard with gold letters hanging high on the eaves, Ren Qinglian felt that the name was a bit vulgar, but it was also a characteristic of this era.

There is a bamboo pole at the door of the restaurant, and a big cloth curtain with the word "wine" is raised high, fluttering slightly.

It seems to be welcoming pedestrians.

Ren Qinglian glanced around, the waiter in the store had already draped a white towel and came out with a smile on her face.

"Is this young man a top player or a hotel?"

Ren Qinglian came back to her senses, "Eat whatever you want!"

Although Xiao Er was a little disappointed, seeing him in brocade clothes and jade face, he immediately nodded his head twice and said respectfully: "My lord, please sit upstairs, there is a private seat upstairs, hehe, it's clean and dry." Net, I guarantee your satisfaction—”

Ren Qinglian hummed and entered the restaurant.

It was noisy inside, and there were many diners.

Seeing Ren Qinglian's attire, the shopkeeper nodded with a smile on his face, and then began to squint his eyes and make calculations again.

After Ren Qinglian scanned the audience, she was guided by Xiao Er to a seat upstairs by the window.

"First cut half a catty of beef, and then choose your best dishes, and come with two or three dishes!"

The waiter in the shop raised his eyebrows with joy, poured tea for him, set the table and chopsticks, and said: "Okay, I'll go now, young master, wait a moment!"

Said, bowed and walked away.

Ren Qinglian took a sip of tea and thought to herself: "With the arrogant and domineering character of the poisonous devil, it will definitely attract the attention of interested people if it appears around here. This hero building is a good place to inquire about news. "

Thinking about it, he distracted his attention to the conversations of the people downstairs.

Although his strength is still top-notch fighters, but his inner strength is pure and pure. After his muscles and bones have been honed by yin and yang inner strength, in some respects, he has actually surpassed the average first-class fighters, and he is no less than a master fighter.

Soon, he was attracted by the conversation between two thick-eyed and burly men.

……

The black-faced man on the left said: "Liu Xiandi, you just said that the dozen or so people in the Li family village all died of strange poison overnight, how did the yamen deal with it afterwards?"

The man surnamed Liu on the opposite side took a sip of wine, cleared his throat and said, "You know that my brother works in the Yamen, but this case—"

When he said this, he looked around for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "I heard that it was done by a certain big devil in Jianghu, and it has been temporarily taken over by the six doors this morning!"

"Hiss! The six doors are alarmed. These people in the rivers and lakes don't have a good life all day long. It's too scary to fight and kill." The black-faced man looked shocked.

In order to enhance their influence, the six doors compete with the government yamen for business in many cases, but generally speaking, unless it is a real fight in the rivers and lakes, the yamen is not willing to hand over the case.

"There's one more thing I'm afraid you don't know." The man surnamed Liu deliberately showed off, took a sip of his wine, and then continued: "The six doors came to us this time, in fact, to hunt down a hall master of Baijiange... "

Ren Qinglian had been listening to the two men talking, and with a thought, she guessed that the hall master was probably Bai Yunxiu.

When he was thinking of this, the shop waiter had already brought a big plate, brought the dishes to the table, and said, "My lord, the dishes you want..."

Ren Qinglian nodded, "Does Baijiange have a branch in the local area?"

The waiter in the shop was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said: "The Fuwei Escort Bureau in the town is the sub-helm of Baijiange..."

Ren Qinglian was thoughtful, and signaled the waiter to go down first.

Suddenly, a hoarse and loud voice came from downstairs:

"Go, go, go... You snobbish fellows, don't let me go upstairs even though the old beggar is dressed in rags, hum! The old beggar never pays for his drinks..."

While speaking, there were several pedaling sounds near the stairs, and Ren Qinglian had already seen an old beggar with messy hair coming up.

The waiter in the shop was bumped into his arms, saw who was coming, and couldn't help but yell: "Old beggar, don't come to our hero building if you're a drunkard, be careful that my second master beats you up!"

The brother of the shopkeeper of this store is a warrior of Fuwei Escort Bureau, and his status is not low. With the prestige of worshiping Jiange, the waiter of this store also looks fearless when speaking.

Ren Qinglian found that although the old beggar was staggering drunk, his footsteps were not as frivolous as ordinary people's drunkenness. Knowing that the other party possessed martial arts skills, and was probably a first-class martial artist, she immediately smiled and said: "Xiaoer, let's have another pot." The wine, this old man's money is in my possession!"

"Hmph, you're lucky." The shop waiter cursed, and then let the old beggar go downstairs to fetch wine.

"The old beggar never pays for his drinks..." The old beggar wobbled, but aimed at Ren Qinglian's table.

Ren Qinglian saw that he was carrying a large blue wine gourd, and before he got close, she smelled a strong aroma of wine.

The aroma of the wine came suddenly, and the guests upstairs also noticed the aroma and turned their heads to look at it one by one.

One of them suddenly shouted: "The fragrance of wine is ethereal, but the old man is a wine beggar with fragrance?"

"Fragrant wine beggar?" Ren Qinglian secretly asked if this person is really a hidden master, searching for memories, only to blame that young master Ren who is ignorant and has only a half-knowledge of things in the world, so he doesn't know anything about this fragrant wine beggar. No impression.

At this time, the old beggar was already sitting opposite Ren Qinglian, and he was not polite, reached out for a pair of chicken wings and gnawed on it.

Ren Qinglian frowned strangely.

At this time, a big man who was a little closer to him sniffed his nose vigorously, and cursed: "Damn it, 'Fragrant Fragrance', this old beggar stinks all over, it's the wine gourd on his back I can't even cover up the stench on his body, bad luck..."

As he said that, he didn't have any appetite, so he went downstairs.

The guest who called out "Fragrant Wine Beggar" before also looked annoyed, glared at Ren Qinglian bitterly, and followed him downstairs.

Ren Qinglian smiled wryly, at this moment, the power of the Nine Nether Mysterious Pupils in his eyes suddenly started to move.

"Old man, have you been poisoned?"

The old beggar who was eating and drinking suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed, and then he started eating again with his head covered.

Ren Qinglian saw that he would drink strong alcohol every few mouthfuls, and the stench on his body became more and more intense. She suddenly seemed to have discovered something incredible, and shouted: "Suppress the cold poison with strong alcohol, your body The stench is actually just toxins that are forced out!"
