Chapter 181 Accommodation
The shopkeeper reached out to take the jade pendant, looked at it carefully and was stunned.

Although this piece of crystal clear jade pendant engraved with the word "Lu" is a bit simple, but according to the shopkeeper's years of experience, he still knows its value, and seeing the extraordinary temperament of this group of people, he must not be someone to provoke. After a while, he said: "This jade pendant is really expensive for this girl, so I will keep it for you for now, how about redeeming it when you have silver taels in the future to pay back the rent?"

What he said was extremely sincere, and it was rare that the shopkeeper did not show much greed, which is a bit impressive.

Hearing this, Lu Xueqi nodded lightly, and said, "This is the best."

With the approval, the shopkeeper's words will naturally not be too vague.

At the end, the shopkeeper greeted the staff and welcomed Lu Xueqi and Biguio inside like princesses.As for Jiang Yuye and Shitou, the shopkeeper also arranged an ordinary room for them.

But Jiang Yuye and Shitou didn't care much about this, after all, neither of them was a pampered person.

After the four of them entered, the inn returned to calm. People on the street were hurrying to and fro, watching the changing wind and clouds in the sky, and it was getting dusk, but two people, an old man and a young man, walked in again.The old one was holding a cloth coat with the words "immortal guiding the way" written on it, and the young one was a little girl no more than ten years old, holding a bunch of candied haws in her hand, and was eating with relish.

It was Zhou Xian and his granddaughter Xiaohuan.

Zhou Yixian looked around, and Xiaohuan was also looking at the environment here. Seeing the magnificent decoration here, he took a breath and whispered: "Grandpa, did you go the wrong way?"

Zhou Yixian had a smug look on his face, and said: "Do you think your grandfather is really worthless after all these years?"

Xiaohuan wondered: "Isn't it?"

Zhou Yixian was stunned by her question, glared at her, and said, "Just wait and see."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked around, and saw that the shopkeeper was standing behind the corner counter to settle accounts, he pulled the small ring and walked over.

The shopkeeper felt that someone was coming to the front, so he raised his head, and was about to say hello, when he was startled suddenly, with a surprised expression on his face.

Zhou Yixian smiled, his whole body resembled a crane bone immortal, as much as a Taoist master, and said, "Treasurer Wang, do you still remember me?"

The shopkeeper Wang exclaimed "Ah", and ran out from behind the counter, his expression was extremely respectful, and his expression was even more pleasantly surprised, he only stared at Xiaohuan who was next to him dumbfounded.I just heard him say: "Oh! It's you, the old god! Why are you here? Alas! This, this, this has been gone for 30 years! I miss you all the time!"

Zhou Yixian smiled slightly, with a superb temperament, stretched out his hand to brush the dust on his clothes, and said with a faint smile: "I am not an ordinary person. I have traveled all over the world these years, and even went to famous mountains and wonderlands to visit immortals and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. How can I come here?"

Xiaohuan fell to the ground beside him.

But shopkeeper Wang seemed to be convinced, nodded frequently, and said: "Yes, yes, old fairy, of course you are different from us ordinary people."

Saying that, he greeted Zhou Yixian and Xiaohuan to sit on a clean table, and quickly called the waiter to serve him the best tea.

Zhou Yixian looked around with a smile, and said, "Look at this, your business should be pretty good these years!"

Shopkeeper Wang said respectfully, "Yes, you are old."

Zhou Yixian coughed, and said: "I came here this time, and I wanted to visit a Taoist friend in the East China Sea. I remembered that I had a relationship with you back then, so I came to have a look. Then I will stay with you tonight." !"

Shopkeeper Wang nodded repeatedly, and said: "Of course, you must give the little one this face, and I plan to let all the young ones come to see you!"

Zhou Yixian chuckled, stretched his hands into his arms, and said, "Then how much money will it cost for a night's stay..."

Shopkeeper Wang immediately shook his head and said, "Look at what you said, I can't wait for you to come to my place. How can I still accept your money?"

Immortal Zhou still put his hands in his arms, shook his head and said, "Oh! Shopkeeper Wang, I know I pointed out a few words to you back then, but I don't want to break the rules when you do business..."

Shopkeeper Wang was a little excited, and said: "Old Immortal, take a look at what's going on, if it wasn't for your guidance and letting me in—"

Having said that, he suddenly looked around, then lowered his voice, and said, "If you hadn't let me plant the God of Wealth tree in the "Donghai Dragon Cave", how could I have been in succession for 30 years. You come to the hotel, If I return your money, I will be struck by lightning!"

Zhou Yixian took out his hand with a smile, and said, "Since this is the case, then I will be disrespectful."

Shopkeeper Wang nodded and chatted for a few more words.The man came over and said that the upper room had been arranged, so shopkeeper Wang got up and sent Zhou Yixian and the two over in person.All the way to the back hall, I saw that the house was built in a strange way, three stories high, but in the shape of a hexagon, with a large courtyard in the middle, all paved with bluestone slabs.

It may be a long time, and green grass can be seen everywhere in the crevices of stones.Only in the very center, there is a solitary white birch tree, but its branches and leaves are withered and bony.

Shopkeeper Wang sent them to a secluded upper room on the third floor, sat with them for a while, and then left knowingly, and when he left, he said that he would definitely come to treat the old god to a big meal at night.

The "Old Immortal" naturally evaded in every possible way, saying that he had practiced Taoism for many years and had not touched the fireworks of the world for a long time.But shopkeeper Wang was very kind and sincere, and in the end, the old god finally reluctantly agreed for his granddaughter Xiaohuan's sake.

After shopkeeper Wang left, Xiaohuan closed the door, and only Zhou Yixian and her were left in the room.Zhou Yixian chuckled and said, "How?"

But Xiaohuan asked back: "Did you really want to pay him just now? What if he really takes your money?"

Zhou Yixian was upright, and said: "What's the matter? I Zhou Yixian is a Taoist immortal, so I don't care about things outside of me?"

Xiaohuan snorted, and said: "You don't come here, do you think I don't know? You don't have any money in your arms!"

Zhou Yixian was taken aback, and said, "What did you say?"

Xiaohuan said: "The money on your body is divided into three parts, one part is hidden in your belt, one part is hidden in your boot tube, and the other part is hidden in your "immortal guide" cloth jacket, do you think I don't know? You don't even have a penny in your arms."

Zhou Zhouxian was stunned for a moment, his face flushed, and he said, "You brat, why do you know everything?"

Xiaohuan glared at him and said, "What did you lie to him 30 years ago?"

Zhou Yixian said angrily: "Nonsense, when did I lie to him?"

Xiaohuan snorted, and said in a bad mood: "Come on, the Dragon Cave of the East China Sea is the source of the huge sea, the spiritual realm of heaven and earth, it is definitely under the misty deep sea, how can it be in this secular world? You can only say that To deceive such honest people as shopkeeper Wang."

Zhou Yixian smiled awkwardly, but then he let out a sigh, feeling a little bit of vicissitudes.

Xiaohuan frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Yixian was silent for a moment, and said: "Actually, this matter has something to do with your father."

Xiaohuan asked in surprise, "My father? Didn't he pass away 20 years ago?"

Zhou Yixian nodded and said: "Thirty years ago, I brought your young father to Changhe City. Although he was young, he was really talented in physiognomy just like you. At that time, shopkeeper Wang was just a clerk in an ordinary inn, but your father said that he had a good face, with a broad forehead, a square face without horns, big eyes but no brow hooks, and a peaceful life, so he can make a fortune safely. I will... ..."

Speaking of this, he smiled, and said: "I found a time and secretly gave him some pointers, saying that as long as a white birch tree is planted on the Dragon's Cave in the East China Sea, and the word "fa" is used, he will definitely have good fortune. so……"

Xiaohuan continued: "So he did as you said, and he really made a fortune, opened this big inn, and the business is booming, so he thought he was relying on you to guide him, right?"

Zhou Yixian chuckled.

Xiaohuan glanced at him, and said: "But I'm rather curious, where did you tell him that the East China Sea Dragon Cave is?"

Zhou Yixian frowned and said with a smile, "Come here." He pulled her to the window, pointed down, and said, "That's it."

Xiaohuan was taken aback, and looked down, only to see that he was pointing at the half-dead birch tree, and asked in surprise, "This is it? Why does this tree seem to be dead?"

Zhou Yixian said: "Nonsense, if your tree is planted on a bluestone slab, will it be able to survive?"

Xiaohuan was dumbfounded.

Zhou Yixian looked at the sky leisurely and said, "The sky is so gloomy today, I'm afraid it will rain tonight!"
