Chapter 24 Xie Qiutao

Zuo Lingquan entered the inn gate, and the large hall was filled with seats. Monks in groups of three or three were drinking at the old wine table, turning their heads to look at the counter of the inn.

The counter is half a person tall, and the fat shopkeeper wearing a cap is holding a pen in one hand and abacus in the other, calculating the flow of today.

In front of the counter, a girl who was 28 years old had a package and a pipa hanging on her back. She didn't know whether it was a musical instrument or a weapon. The black background looked like an iron lump, and it was quite heavy. The shoulder straps pressed the fabric on her shoulders.

The girl was wearing a white top, with a pink pleated skirt underneath, and white embroidered shoes with lace. She was not tall, petite like a jade pendant, with a round face, and a three-point baby fat. Her figure was very outstanding, and from the side, she looked bulging from the hills. She couldn't say that her waist was as thin as a willow, but she was definitely not thick, and she looked fleshy overall.

Just looking at the silhouette, she is also a very cute petite beauty, but the girl’s skin is not very good. Although her facial features are upright, she has some freckles.

At this time, the girl was holding the scroll in her hand and walked towards the stairs. She turned around one step and three times, and looked at the fat shopkeeper.

The fat shopkeeper may have lost his patience, and he doesn't speak, and settles the accounts on his own.

The girl walked to the stairs, saw no reply, and trotted back again, saying a crisp voice:

"However, the shopkeeper gave me the key and I'll open the door myself, so I don't need a guy to lead the way."

With such a soft and hard posture, the shopkeeper had no choice but to find a sign from the counter and put it on the stage:

"Since you are young and have not paid for it from overseas, I will give you a 50% discount. I will pay the house out of my own pocket to pay the payment for the boss. If you talk nonsense, go find another company."

This is obviously because I am afraid that other customers staying in the hotel will be dissatisfied with causing trouble.

The girl understood it, picked up the sign and bowed: "Thank you shopkeeper~", and then paid the money to go up the stairs.

Zuo Lingquan stood behind him, and at this time he also sent out a few big coins and signaled to open a room. He asked in his heart:

"Grandmaid, this girl is suspicious? I think it's almost as cute as it is. How can there be such a cute killer in the world?"

There was obviously hesitation on the Huafang side. After a few discussions, Shangguan Lingye responded:

"This woman came from overseas and just got off the boat. The first thing she did was to buy your portrait and it appeared near you. Well... let's check it first."

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan didn't say much, took the house sign and walked up the stairs quickly.

The three-story building is very large in area, with more than a hundred rooms inside. There are signs such as "Tian Jia, Earth B..." on the door, and there are also some monks in the aisle.

The round-faced girl held the house signs and looked at the door one by one, muttering:

"It's not good to just write 'one, two, three, four', it's so mysterious..."

Zuo Lingquan chased behind him slowly because he was investigating a potential killer, and there was no need to hide his identity. He directly crossed the little girl, held a long sword in his arms, blocking the way.

“Huh~…”

The girl was obviously scared and looked cautiously at the handsome swordsman with a hat in front of her.

Zuo Lingquan is quite tall, and she can reach his shoulders at most. She can only see her face clearly with her face raised. Maybe she felt that the pressure was a bit strong, so she took a step back and asked tentatively:

"You... Fellow Daoist is the guard of the inn? Have I gone to the wrong place?"

It's still a very soft baby sound.

Zuo Lingquan held the sword and looked at it. No matter how he looked at this girl, he didn't look like an assassin. He didn't want to scare her. After thinking about it, he was still alert, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Does the girl think I look familiar?"

"Um?"

The girl blinked her apricot-like watery eyes and shook her head and said:

"I just came here and didn't know the master here yet. Who is the fellow Taoist?"

Zuo Lingquan raised his chin and signaled to the picture scroll on the girl's hand.

?

The girl was a little confused, but understood the general meaning. She opened the scroll and looked at Zuo Lingquan, then looked at the scroll and compared it back and forth.

Zuo Lingquan's heart was very tight, and even Shangguan Lingye was speechless. He probably was about to come over to help when the round-faced girl knew his identity and attacked.

But after looking back and forth many times, the girl did not show any strange gaze, but frowned with delicate eyebrows:

"What does fellow Taoist mean?"

"Um?"

Zuo Lingquan was a little confused and signaled to the scroll in her hand:

"The girl hasn't seen it yet?"

The round-faced girl couldn't understand it anymore. She thought the monk here was talking nonsense. She turned the scroll around and faced Zuo Lingquan:

"What should I see?"

The scroll is worth a white jade zhu. Although it is not made of immortal materials, its texture is extraordinary in the world. White paper is mounted with silk cloth, and the paper is a picture of figures. The painting is excellent, but it is still painted.

Zuo Lingquan glanced at him and saw the figure on the portrait wearing ink black gold armor, with thirty-six gold-killed magic mace hanging on the left, and a dragon-patterned black sheathed Mo Yuan sword hanging on the right. It was one meter long, with a big waist and ten circumference, with a round face and a straight ear, a straight nose and a square mouth. It was just like this big shoulders and round waist. If it weren't for not having a beard, it would not be too much to say that Situ was shocked.

Damn! What the hell?

Zuo Lingquan's eyes widened a little. He thought it was a round-faced girl who bought the wrong one, but when he saw the inscription on the lower right, it clearly stated:

Nanhuang Jianzi·Shangguan Jiulong·Zhongzhou Wolong·Left Sword Immortal, handwritten by Bai Xiaosheng.?!

Zuo Lingquan turned his head slightly, looked at the portrait for a long time, but couldn't speak.

The round-faced girl held the portrait and looked at Zuo Lingquan. After thinking about it, she smiled:

"Do you want to buy a painting of the Nanhuang Sword Dragon? Yes, two white jade zhu, I finally got this painting from the master..."

twitter……

Zuo Lingquan hugged his arms, feeling that he couldn't control the scene anymore, so he asked in his heart:

"Grandma Toffee..."

"grandmother?!"

"Bah... Empress, what's going on with this portrait?"

Shangguan Lingye was not very surprised and explained:

"The way of practice emphasizes the 'the dragon's head but not the tail'. For famous monks, they cannot call their names directly, and they are called honorific names; the same is true for portraits. Without my permission, they can be sold to the market and cause trouble. The immortal merchants are very smart, and it is not surprising that they paint like this."

After thinking about it carefully, Zuo Lingquan said that this is indeed the truth. Seeing that the girl in front of him didn't recognize him, Zuo Lingquan was no longer sarcastic and said directly:

"Girl, I'm really the one who knows that I'm Zuo Lingquan, the sword son of Nanhuang."

As he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the aisle suddenly condensed.

The girl with round face paused her sales words, and her expression changed a little. She looked at Zuo Lingquan unexpectedly, and was silent for a long time before she whispered:

"I heard that the monks of your nine sects are above the top. You really think that the female cultivators outside are all wild girls in the countryside. How can you fool them? Look at it yourself, are you worthy?"

As he said that, he picked up the mighty and domineering portrait of Zuo Jianxian and swayed in front of Zuo Lingquan.

“…”

Zuo Lingquan didn't know what to say. After holding it in for a while, he nodded and said:

"I'm not worthy, just kidding. Well... I just heard that the girl came from Hua Junzhou. I have longed for Hua Junzhou for a long time, so I came over and said hello..."

Kind of awesome...

Zuo Lingquan's normal level of chatting was not average, and the girls in the pleasure boat were secretly anxious.

Needless to say, the little girl put away the scroll and looked at Zuo Lingquan with a little alert. The meaning of her eyes was obviously "to show her diligence if she has nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief."

Zuo Lingquan felt embarrassed when he said that at the end, so he simply bowed his hand:

"I'm in Zuo Lingquan, I just want to meet the girl."

The round-faced girl shook her head like a rattle:

"You don't even want to tell your name seriously, how dare I know you?"

Zuo Lingquan was speechless for a moment.

The round-faced girl may feel that she refused too directly and was afraid of offending others, and added:

"But I don't think you look like a villain either, you look pretty good...heh~."

“…”

Zuo Lingquan was speechless for a long time and felt that if the girl in front of him was an assassin, the plan of the Youying alien race would probably be to kill him.

"Oh...forget, I'm really Zuo Lingquan. There's nothing I can do if the girl doesn't believe it. You'll know from now on. Today I'm really presumptuous, so I'll ask the girl to forgive me and say goodbye."

After saying that, Zuo Lingquan was going to stay wherever he was cool, but after thinking about it, he took out two more white jade zhu and handed it to the girl, and then brought the scroll.

The round-faced girl watched Zuo Lingquan leave, and her eyes turned into half-believing and half-doubted. She thought for a while and said:

"My name is Xie Qiutao, and fellow Taoist Zuo walked slowly."

"Miss Xie is going to rest early and say hello if you need anything. I can still help you with some little help."

"Okay~"

Scream

The door is closed.
