Because this restaurant is located at the foot of Shu Mountain and is deserted, the environment can be called quiet. However, the hall of the tavern is very lively. Because it is crowded with rivers and lakes from all over the world who want to admire the majestic atmosphere of Shu Mountain.

Opposite Duan Yin, the old man in a robe was holding a weed in his mouth, squinted his eyes and chewing slowly, as if he was feeling the sourness of the grassroots.

After a while, the tavern Xiaoer was quick to bring two pots of wine and a plate of beef on the table.

Duan Yin had a poor alcohol tolerance, thinking that the irreconcilable senior in front of him should be very fond of wine. So he pushed both pots of wine to the old man without any trace, and took a piece of beef and chewed it in his mouth.

The old man with weeds on his head looked at everything, and there was a faint but real appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Duan Yin. However, the old man did not point it out, pretended not to know, picked up the wine pot, poured a bowl of fragrant ale wine, raised his head and drank it all, and squinted his eyes and smashed his mouth and said, "The waiter here is not very good, but the wine is good."

Duan Yin glanced at the old man and knew that the waiter here was actually quite kind. Because he had been a waiter, he knew that there were always people in the tavern who would come to drink. After all, they were open to do business, so how could people eat and drink for nothing every day? Some waiters with a bad temper would just drive them to drive them away when they saw such people.

Only those who are kind-hearted will reward those underachieving coins and let them leave the tavern.

So Duan Yin said seriously to the old man, "Senior, the waiter here is already considered kind. Many waiters in the tavern have always taken action to drive people straight away."

I guess the old man had met a waiter who was going to drive people out directly before. He knew Duan Yin was right and didn't dare to speak. He just held the tavern, squinted his eyes and drank quietly, and threw a piece of beef into his mouth from time to time, chewing it sounds.

Half of a pot of wine fell, and the old man raised his right foot and put it on the bench, stretched his head to look at Duan Yin, "Boy, are you here to go to Shushan?"

Duan Yin chewed the beef in his mouth dozens of times before swallowing it, nodded seriously and replied, "Yes."

Seeing that his guess was correct, the old man seemed very happy, picked up the wine bowl and drank it again, and said boldly, "Boy, I will go to Shushan in a few days. For your sake, you will take you to Shushan."

The ragged old man seemed to like the title of senior. Not only did he deliberately bite it very hard when saying the word "senior", he also repeatedly mentioned it several times.

When ordinary people see the dress of the old man in front of them, they will probably sneer at him and even speak up a few words when they hear him saying he wants to take him to Shushan.

However, Duan Yin spoke very seriously, "Senior, I must go to Shushan as soon as possible. So, I am afraid I can't follow you to Shushan again after a few days."

Yes, Duan Yin must go to Shushan as soon as possible.

Because, for him now, time is really a luxury. He doesn't know where Ning Zhiyuan is now. However, he clearly remembers that it has been forty-eight days since Brother Ning left Qingshi Town.

Where will Ning Zhiyuan go in forty-eight days?

Will you have arrived in Tai'an City?

Tai'an City is protected by the world's largest formation, and the white-clothed prime minister is always following the evil dog in a purple and red robe.

When Brother Ning seeks revenge on Li Ziyuan, is it the time for him to die?

He promised Ning Zhiyuan that he would go to the top of Yuntian to watch the sunrise for him. This was his promise, so he had to keep it.

Before this, he wanted Ning Zhiyuan to hear that he had arrived in Shushan, so as to tell Ning Zhiyuan that he would keep his promise.

Therefore, there is little time left for him. He must worship in Shushan before Ning Zhiyuan reaches Tai'an City, so that Ning Zhiyuan can hear the news that he has arrived in Shushan before his death. Therefore, he cannot wait a few days before going to Shushan with the old man, and he must go to Shushan tomorrow.

There is another reason why I am unwilling to go to Shushan with the elderly.

That is, he met the young man named Wang Zhi a few days ago.

Wang Zhi told Duan Yin very clearly that if he didn't hand over the jade pendant, he would not be able to climb Shushan. Duan Yin knew that his journey to Shushan would not be smooth. He did not want the old man in front of him to climb Shushan because of his own reasons.

......

......

In a corner of the tavern, Chen Qingyi sat alone, took a pot of wine and drank slowly. When he arrived at this small inn, the store was already full of people.

However, he was not in a hurry. In this world, there were still not many things that could not be bought with money. So he asked for a pot of wine here while drinking it, while waiting for the result.

While drinking, his eyes fell on Duan Yin and the old man in a robe not far away.

Duan Yin and the old man did not deliberately lower his voice. On the contrary, when the old man said he wanted to take Duan Yin to the Shu Mountain, he deliberately raised the tone.

Therefore, the conversation between Duan Yin and the gray-headed old man entered Chen Qingyi's ears without saying a word.

The Chen family in the Far East was one of the five most deeply rooted families in the empire except for the four major clans. Chen Qingyi was the most well-founded child of the Chen family in the Far East. As one of the top-level young men in the entire Southern Tang Dynasty, he had all the domineering men who should have.

Therefore, when he heard the old man in Mapao say that he wanted to take Duan Yin to Shushan, he really wanted to go over and teach this down-and-out old man what it means to be low-key.

However, he suddenly found that the servant beside him went to book a room with the boss. He took action to clean up the old man covered in loess, which was really worth a loss. So Chen Qingyi gave up this idea and just looked at Duan Yin and the old man with marobes with disdain and ridicule in his eyes.

As the direct descendant of the Chen family in the Far East, he naturally has a much better understanding of Shushan than Duan Yin.

As the first sect of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Shushan was the whole world. There were countless geniuses who wanted to worship Shushan, who wanted to enter Shushan, and there were countless.

However, no matter how famous you are in the outside world or how genius you are on the road to cultivation, you must follow the rules of Shushan if you want to enter Shushan.

That is, every time you open the mountain gate in Shushan, you will participate in the introductory trial of Shushan. Those who pass the introductory trial will become a disciple of Shushan. If you fail, I'm sorry, no matter what your wealth and background are, you will never escape the tragic fate of being eliminated.

The gate of Shushan opens every five years, and now it has only been three years since the last gate opened. Therefore, if you want to enter Shushan, you can only choose another road.

That is to walk the 3,600-stage Shu Road that lies ahead of the gate of Shushan Mountain.

Those who walk through Shu will become disciples of Shushan. They will be worshipped by Shushan as their ancestors.

Because, Shushan has stood tall in the Southern Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, and the Shu Road has also been in front of Shushan Gate for thousands of years. To this day, there are still very few young practitioners who can pass the 3,600 levels of Shu Road.

Facts have proved that those who have passed the 3,600-level Shu Road have become monsters that have overwhelmed that era. They are geniuses with eternal spirits.

The young man in front of him who had no trace of true energy in his body, a down-and-out old man covered in loess, actually said that he was going to go to Shushan.

Chen Qingyi could only think of the four words "shaming" to describe it.

It was getting darker, and a honest servant dressed in black cloth came to Chen Qingyi and whispered, "Young Master, the upper room on the south has been vacant and has been cleaned up. You can go and rest at any time."

Because Chen Qingyi knew that his servant would definitely get things done. So, he just nodded gently and continued to drink slowly with the wine pot.

The loyal old servant stood behind Chen Qingyi, looking at the owner's calm expression, and hesitation flashed in his eyes several times. Finally, he decided to speak, "Young Master, you really won't tell the Duke if you want to go to Shushan this time?"

Chen Qingyi put down the wine pot, his dark eyes were as deep as an ancient well, and he spoke in a plain tone, "This time you didn't report my whereabouts to my father quietly, and you did a good job."

A trace of panic flashed in the servant's eyes, and he quickly lowered his head and looked respectful.

Loyalty is the most basic duty of a servant.

No master has ever been able to tolerate an unfaithful servant. However, for a servant like the honest servant in front of him who has two masters at the same time, absolute loyalty to that master is a great knowledge.

At present, he helped the master in front of him conceal his whereabouts. He should have done it right now, but he just waited until the master returned home to face the old master?

Being a servant who has always been trusted by his master has always been a difficult thing to reach the top.

Chen Qingyi glanced at the servant behind him and continued to speak, "Do you think he wouldn't know I'm going to go to Shushan if he didn't report my whereabouts to his father?"

"It's just that he chose to turn a blind eye."

After Chen Qingyi finished speaking, he looked out the door. The black mountain in Shushan could only see a blurry outline in the dark night.

Just like this storm that caused the incident in the empire because of Bai Ze's incident, Chen Qingyi could only see a blurry outline.

It seems that Li Ziyuan is vaguely manipulating the matter behind Bai Ze. In fact, how many aristocratic clans are behind the scenes, who can explain clearly?

The white-clothed prime minister seemed to have not been the purpose of the beginning, as people guessed, but wanted to wait for Ning Zhiyuan to go to the heavenly prison to rob people. Then he put a treason on Ning Zhiyuan.

His original purpose was to wait for Bai Ze to die and Ning Zhiyuan to seek revenge. Behind Bai Ze's affairs, Li Ziyuan, was not the only one who was promoting the fire. Ning Zhiyuan would naturally seek revenge for those aristocratic families.

Who will these aristocratic clans settle the accounts in the end?

Of course it is Shushan.

He forced Ning Zhiyuan to die with Bai Ze's death, and used the major clans of aristocratic families to jointly suppress Shushan. This is the real purpose of our white-clothed prime minister.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingyi was even more afraid of the Prime Minister of Southern Tang in his heart.

He withdrew his gaze, picked up the wine pot and took another sip, and began to wonder why his father who was in the Far East would still go to Shushan.

Even he could see that Shushan would be enemies with the major families of the empire because of the Bai Ze incident, so would his father not see that?

His approach to Shushan, Chen Qingyi would represent the position of the Far East Chen family to a certain extent. Since Chen Xiongfu, Duke of Wei, agreed that Chen Qingyi would go to Shushan, it means that the Far East Chen family chose to stand with Shushan.

At this time, it was really incredible that the Chen family chose to stand on the same boat with Shushan. At least Chen Qingyi couldn't figure out the reason now. However, if Chen Qingyi couldn't figure it out, he didn't plan to think about it anymore. Of course, the father in his family planned these things, so he pretended not to know and happily went to Shushan.

Putting down the wine pot, Chen Qingyi was about to go to the room to rest.

The moment he stood up, Chen Qingyi caught a glimpse of the wooden box behind the old man with a robe. The wooden box was always on the back of the old man. However, Chen Qingyi had never paid attention to it. Until now, Chen Qingyi saw that the old man dressed as a beggar had a wooden box behind him. Looking at the wooden box, he was stunned. He felt that the wooden box looked familiar. He must have seen this wooden box there. But he never remembered where he had seen it.

He began to feel a little uneasy because this unknown feeling always makes people uncomfortable. He stood there, his eyes staring at the wooden box behind the old man. His brows became tighter and tighter.

Until one moment, his brows stretched out. There was a trace of sickly paleness on his face, and the corners of his mouth were trembling.

He remembered that it was on Yueyang Lake. Under a sword, the eight hundred miles of lake water suddenly sank two hundred feet.

The man carries this wooden box!

He felt his feet were a little soft. He wanted to find a stool to sit down, but his legs were trembling violently. He swept the stool to the side. He held the table with both hands before he could barely stop.
Chapter completed!
