In that distant little black house

Moreover, after Zhang Jingmo obtained Zhu Yan, he flew for a hundred miles, walked non-stop for a day and a night, only then found a cave and began to refine Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan is a spirit creature in the mountains, so he is wild and unruly. Although Zhang Jingmo has subdued him, if he does not strengthen the law, he may be backlashed by Zhu Yan.

After being subdued by Zhang Jingmo, Zhu Yan faded from her fiery red body and turned into a little bird with gray feathers. Except for her brighter eyes, she couldn't tell the difference from ordinary pets.

Zhang Jingmo sat cross-legged in the cave, and started to run the Jue.

Zhu Yan bounced around Zhang Jingmo curiously, jumping on Zhang Jingmo's head from time to time, and leaning forward to peck Zhang Jingmo's long eyelashes from time to time.

Zhang Jingmo was harassed in this way, but he remained motionless. He didn't open his eyes until the spiritual energy was used to strengthen the spell completely.

And this opening and closing, it has been half a month since Zhang Jingmo left Pingrui Prefecture.

After Zhang Jingmo opened his eyes, he didn't see Zhu Yan, and he was not in a hurry, he just let out a soft cry.Not a moment later, he saw a flame-like red light flying towards him, and on closer inspection, the red light turned out to be an ordinary-looking bird.

Seeing Zhu Yan flying back, Zhang Jingmo stretched out his fingers to catch it, and said with a smile, "You are really greedy." He couldn't feel the anger of the animals in the forest anymore.

Zhu Yan chirped twice, and jumped from Zhang Jingmo's finger to his shoulder. It was jumpy, like a child who hasn't grown up.

Looking at Zhu Yan, Zhang Jingmo somehow thought of Lu Guijiu who was still cultivating in the Lingxu Sect, and he didn't know what Lu Guijiu had grown into after two years.

It stands to reason that Zhang Jingmo should have returned to the Lingxu Sect first after he obtained Zhu Yan, but the main purpose of his trip at this time was not this cute little bird in his hand.

Zhang Jingmo said softly to Zhu Yan, let's go, then made a decision, and headed towards the outside of the pass.

On this continent, there are mainly four countries, the most powerful of which is the Zhao country controlled by the Gu family. This Zhao country has a vast territory and has many famous cultivation schools.

The destination of Zhang Jingmo's trip is within Zhao State.

After flying for several days, Zhang Jingmo finally arrived at the border of Zhao State. After he arrived at the border, he no longer sailed against the wind. Instead, he changed into old clothes, rented a slow donkey, and started on his way carelessly.

If a donkey with this distance traveled across Zhao, it would probably take several years.But Zhang Jingmo was not in a hurry at all, and just set foot on the journey unsteadily.

The country of Zhao has a vast land, and the border is almost uninhabited. After Zhang Jingmo entered the small border town, he found a restaurant and planned to buy some wine and food.

The hotel was incompatible with the desolation of the border, and the decorations were all exquisite. Seeing the dusty Zhang Jingmo coming, Xiaoer did not show a trace of disdain, but was very courteous, asking Zhang Jingmo what he wanted.

Zhang Jingmo ordered a few dishes at random, and then ordered a pot of good wine.

Xiao Er agreed, and quickly brought up the food ordered by Zhang Jingmo.

There were only three people sitting in the lobby, a man and a woman were sitting in the corner talking softly, while Zhang Jingmo sat in the middle and drank by himself.He had a handsome and elegant appearance, although his clothes were a little messy, but he also exuded an air of incompatibility with this desolate border town.

Soon, a man and a woman sitting next to Zhang Jingmo noticed this somewhat abrupt visitor.

After a few dishes of side dishes and a few sips of wine, Zhang Jingmo chewed slowly and rested for a while, then called Xiao Er to pay the bill.That Xiao Er came forward with a smile, opened his mouth and said: "This guest officer, a total of two taels of gold."

The men and women sitting next to them seemed to be taken aback when they heard the price. The woman was about to say something, but was stopped by the man.

When Zhang Jingmo heard the price, he casually glanced at the waiter, and then pointed to the jug in front of him.

Xiaoer thought it was Zhang Jingmo who was asking about the price of the wine, and said with a smirk: "Guest officer, our wine here is all good wine, and a pot costs a tael of gold. These dishes can only be eaten in our shop, and we will return it to you." You have gone to a fraction, and if you put it all together, it is two taels of gold."

Zhang Jingmo propped his chin with his hands, and said expressionlessly: "I told you to fill a jug of wine so that I can take it away." After finishing speaking, he casually threw a piece of broken gold onto the wooden table.

That Xiao Er didn't seem to have expected Zhang Jingmo to be so arrogant, the smile on his face paused, his eyes showed hesitation, he picked up the gold, turned it upside down, bit it with his teeth, and after confirming that it was real gold, he said: "Guest officer, do you want anything else?"

Zhang Jingmo said: "One more bag of fried soybeans, there is no need to make up." The broken gold is a total of five taels, buy a pot of wine and a bag of fried soybeans, I am afraid there will be a lot left, Xiao Er smiled happily when he heard this , he said: "You wait."

After that, he stepped back quickly.

Seeing this scene, the woman next to him seemed to be unable to hold back when she saw Xiao Er leaving. She stepped forward a few steps, walked up to Zhang Jingmo, and said, "You have been slaughtered!"

Zhang Jingmo glanced at the woman in surprise: "Killed?"

Seeing that Zhang Jingmo still looked ignorant, the woman hated iron and said: "The wine and side dishes are only worth a tael of gold even at this border, and you actually gave him back five taels..."

Zhang Jingmo showed a puzzled face: "How much is five taels?"

The woman said angrily: "Five taels is enough to make ordinary people have no worries about food and drink for a lifetime!"

Zhang Jingmo was a little dazed, obviously not quite understanding what the woman was angry with, he frowned pretending to be distressed, and muttered: "But the master told me... When I come here, I will give as much as others say."

The woman sighed: "Your master told you that? Then he is really—" She was about to say something, but saw the little boy walking over with a bag of wine and soybeans, so she had to shut up, sullen returned to his seat.

Zhang Jingmo still frowned, as if he had been woken up, and said, "Xiao Er, you didn't lie to me about the prices of the wine and dishes, did you?"

The little girl pretended to be angry when she heard the words: "We open the door to do business, the most taboo thing is to deceive people, how can you say that without evidence!"

After being scolded like this, Zhang Jingmo seemed a little at a loss, muttered a few words of sorry, put the wine and soybeans into his arms, got up and left.

After Zhang Jingmo left, the man and woman also settled the bill and left the restaurant, but they ordered a table of food, but it was not as expensive as Zhang Jingmo's bag of soybeans.

As soon as the woman came out of the restaurant, she complained to the man next to her, and she said, "Brother, why don't you let me tell you, that restaurant is trying to trick people... I don't think that man is someone who often walks in the rivers and lakes. Let him be deceived like this?"

The man said coldly: "There are so many injustices in the world, you can take care of them? Besides, who owns this restaurant, don't you know?"

When the woman heard this, she showed embarrassment. She actually wanted to do something good, but she didn't have the guts. After all, the owner of this restaurant is indeed not something they can afford.

While the two were talking, they saw that the Qingyi man who had just left the restaurant was held back by the bustard in the flower building opposite. He showed embarrassment and kept struggling, but he couldn't break free from the bustard's hand. Seeing that she was about to be dragged into the brothel abruptly.

The woman was talking to her brother. Seeing this scene, she couldn't stand anymore. She stepped forward and stopped the old bustard: "What are you doing?"

Seeing the woman's aggressiveness, the old bustard paused for a moment, and said with a smirk: "Oh, what can I do... Aren't they all kind-hearted, do you know this little brother, girl?"

The woman said: "Yes, this is my friend, please let him go."

The old bustard heard the words but refused to let go, she said: "You haven't asked this little brother whether he wants to come in, why did you decide without authorization? I was very curious about Hualou when I saw this little brother, little brother, what do you think?" Right?"

When the woman heard the words, she looked at the man who was being held back, and saw him struggling in the hands of the bustard, her face was blushing, and seeing the woman looking over, she couldn't stop shouting, "I don't want to go in." , I don't want to go in!"

The woman glared at the bustard again.

The old bustard was very dissatisfied when he saw that the business had failed this time. He snorted, gave the woman a few eye shots, and then walked away with his buttocks twisted.

The woman stepped forward to take a look, and saw that after the man rolled up his sleeves, there were several bruised and purple handprints on the white as jade arm.

The woman stared at the man's arm for a while, and couldn't resist reaching out to touch it. Sure enough, the hand felt very good, and the skin was as creamy as it was, but in this way, those blue and purple handprints became more eye-catching. , the woman frowned and said, "You don't know any kung fu?"

The man felt aggrieved and said, "Kung Fu? Isn't Kung Fu only found in story books?"

The woman hated iron but said: "What's your name? What are you doing here? Do you know that you can kill you casually here??"

The man said blankly: "My name is Chen Baicang, I came to Zhao country to find someone... Girl, thank you, dare to ask Fang's name?"

The woman was about to say her name, but saw the man who had been standing beside him, stepped forward to stop her, and said: "You don't need to know your name, we will leave here tomorrow."

Zhang Jingmo opened his mouth slightly, as if he was frightened by the man's unreasonable attitude.

Seeing Zhang Jingmo's stupid look, the man said coldly: "This is not a place where good men and women should come. If you want your own life, you should go back earlier."

After he finished speaking, he grabbed the woman beside him who still wanted to say something to Zhang Jingmo, turned around and left.

Only Zhang Jingmo stood there alone, looking in their direction for a long time, his eyes seemed to be full of grievance and puzzlement.
