Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Chapter 135: Discussion at the Inn

Following the same path back down the mountain, Uncle Jiu and Lu Li found the horse tied to a tree.

Take advantage of the moonlight that night and rush to the inn.

Although it was past midnight, the inn was still brightly lit.

Everyone was waiting for Lu Li and Uncle Jiu in the lobby.

"Shut up!"

Lu Li's voice came from outside the inn.

The Maoshan disciples quickly opened the door and welcomed the two dusty men in.

He woke up the waiter and led the horse to the backyard.

"Brother, nephew, come in quickly. Are you hungry? Eat first. Shao Jian, bring the food that your uncle and brother have left for you."

Seeing that the two men were exhausted, Shi Jian ordered Shi Shaojian to serve the food first.

Lu Li was fine. The paleness on Uncle Jiu's face slowly faded away only after he had his meal and drank a bowl of hot soup.

After riding the horse for several hours a day, Uncle Jiu felt like his butt didn't belong to him anymore.

All the internal organs will be shaken and fallen apart.

"Xiao Li, tell everyone about it."

Uncle Jiu really didn't have the energy to explain.

Lu Li told everyone about the situation in Wuzhang Valley.

“So, it’s impossible for those below the Jindan stage to enter.

Even if I didn’t have as much magical power as you, Xiao Li, I wouldn’t be able to hold on even at the Jindan stage.”

Shi Jian said with a frown.

Then all my trip here would have been in vain.

Ao Tianlong seemed to have thought of something.

"How long is the entire Wuzhang Valley, nephew?"

Even though he has been exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts here all the time, he has never been to Wuzhang Valley.

Lu Li pondered for a moment.

"I used my spiritual sense to roughly observe the mountain range, and it's probably no less than twenty miles long."

"hiss!"

“It’s so long.”

Everyone in the room gasped.

If it's shorter, you can try digging a hole or something like that.

It’s a bit troublesome, but at least I can get in.

But if it is so long, even if we dig for half a year we probably won’t be able to reach the underground palace of Emperor Muzong of Liao.

Who knows where he is buried.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Uncle Jiu said:

“Don’t worry, it’s not easy for us two Jindan-stage masters to get in.

How could those people from Ziluosha Palace get in?

We just have to follow them and keep an eye on them."

Shi Jian and Ao Tianlong clapped their hands and laughed when they heard this.

"Brother is right, we are not here to rob tombs, so why are we in such a hurry to go in?

Why not let the Fuso people help us clear the obstacles?"

The Maoshan disciples also laughed.

Everyone was only thinking about entering the tomb and forgot the purpose of coming here.

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

Seeing that Uncle Jiu and Lu Li were still a little tired, Shi Jian asked everyone to rest.

Lu Li said hello to Uncle Jiu and returned to his room.

The next morning, at dawn, the vendors in the town began to get busy.

At this time, Uncle Jiu knocked on Lu Li's door.

Lu Li opened his hazy eyes, yawned and said:

"Master, what are you doing so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Since returning to his room last night, Lu Li has been thinking about what to do next.

I had just fallen asleep when I was woken up by Uncle Jiu's deadly knocking.

"Why are you sleeping? You are the one who gets up late in the charity cemetery, and you can sleep as long as you are in the mountains.

You're out doing work and yet you're still getting up so late. Do you think it's honorable to make your elders wait for you to get up?

Hurry up and accompany me to have breakfast."

It turned out that we were going to have breakfast.

Uncle Jiu came out this time just looking forward to this.

I have hardly missed any meals in the month since Lu Li arrived.

It's only been a month and a half since I came down the mountain, and I've gained a lot of weight.

"Then you have to let me wash my face before I go out."

Lu Li said helplessly.

"Hurry up, I'll wait for you downstairs."

After Uncle Jiu left, Lu Li put on his coat, washed it briefly with cold water, and went downstairs.

Uncle Jiu was waiting at the door.

The two walked along the street to a breakfast shop.

There are quite a lot of people in this shop, and you can tell they are all regular customers.

Many people just hand the money to the boss after eating without paying the bill.

Obviously aware of the price.

"Boss, bring two bowls of wontons, two deep-fried dough sticks, and two bowls of tofu brain."

Before Uncle Jiu finished speaking, the boss said directly: "The bean curd should be sweet, right?"

Uncle Jiu smiled and said:

"It seems the boss still remembers me."

The boss is also a chatty person.

"Haha, most people here eat salty food, but you come here at this time every day and want something sweet, so I'll remember it.

You are from the South, sir."

"Hmm! The boss has a good eye."

Uncle Jiu gave the boss a thumbs up.

Lu Li was laughing like crazy.

Fortunately, there is no battle between sweet and salty tofu pudding at this time.

Otherwise, Uncle Jiu would have been met with so many cold stares for this breakfast.

Lu Li didn't care. In fact, he preferred salty food.

However, in this life, because I grew up in the south with Uncle Jiu, I gradually started to like sweet drinks.

So he can accept either one.

The tofu brain and fried dough sticks come up first.

This big golden fried dough stick is for two people to share, and is served with refreshing tofu pudding.

I ate until I was almost full.

At this time, the wontons were served.

Look at these dumpling-sized wontons.

Lu Li felt a little dizzy.

Apart from the thin skin and wonton-like shape, what's wrong with this dough?

Uncle Jiu drank the soup one mouthful at a time until his mouth was full of oil.

Lu Li felt hungry again.

As soon as you take a bite, the salty and fragrant taste goes straight to your head.

Gulp, gulp, the two of them finished the big bowl of wontons and soup.

"belch!"

Uncle Jiu burped with contentment.

"The money is on the table, boss."

"Okay, take care and come back next time."

Holding a toothpick in his mouth, Uncle Jiu walked towards the inn in a square step.

At this time, more and more people appeared on the street.

Breakfast stalls lined both sides of the road.

Pointing at the people coming and going on the street, Uncle Jiu said to Lu Li:

"See? This is life. This is what you see in the mountains."

It can be seen that Uncle Jiu is in a good mood. Maybe he has been holding back for too long and it is a rare opportunity for him to come out and relax.

"Yes, life is nothing more than food, clothing and shelter. Shelter is okay, but food and clothing are not.

Only when people are well fed and clothed can they have the strength to do things. "

Uncle Jiu rolled his eyes at Lu Li.

“Who told you this? I was talking about those old guys in the mountains who have lived there for too long and have become out of touch with the times.

They are still living the same poor life as a hundred years ago, and it’s not like people in Maoshan are not allowed to eat meat.

Who can stand eating vegetables, radishes and tofu every day? "

"puff!"

Lu Li held his stomach and laughed. This was what Uncle Jiu was talking about.

It seems like he suffered a lot in the mountains.

"What are you laughing at? You are an unfilial disciple. You tricked your master into coming up the mountain, and then you went to enjoy yourself."

Lu Li quickly begged for mercy, saying that what he had done was not right.

"Let's just say Master, have you saved any money?"

"That's true."

"That's it."

The two chatted and laughed and returned to the inn.

As soon as I walked in, I saw that almost everyone was up.

A man was eating a bowl of noodles.

"Brother Lin, come and have some seafood noodles that are just out of the pot."

Ao Tianlong greeted Uncle Jiu and Lu Li.

"No, Uncle Tianlong, my master and I just ate outside."

Shi Jian finished his noodles and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Nephew, what are your plans for today? I'm getting rusty if I stay in this inn all the time."

“If you guys want to go out and have fun today, go out and have fun. I’ll take care of the old rules.

Those who don't want to go out can practice in the inn. Brother Shaojian, please keep an eye on the big guys.

Uncle Master, Master, and Uncle Tianlong, please excuse me for taking some time off. Let's change our clothes and go to Chicheng.

I want to see how those Ziluosha people are preparing.

If they are not strong enough, we will go into the tomb first and then ambush them to catch them off guard."

All the fellow disciples smiled happily and agreed.

"Xiao Li, do you have a way to get in?"

Lu Li smiled mysteriously.

"Yes, Master Uncle, but it must be kept secret for now."

Several people laughed, this brat.

We'll see what he does then.
