Fish swimming around the world

The big shopkeeper smiled brightly: "My little brother has already shocked everyone with his monkey show. Are there any plans to perform again soon?"

Jiang Fan said calmly: "Life is just a play. Now that the stage has been staged, the play will never end before all the people are gone."

The big shopkeeper nodded and glanced at Zhang Zhiling and Li Xiu beside him. There was nothing strange in their eyes, as if they didn't know each other at all. He turned slightly and said, "You two are tired from traveling and traveling. Why don't you take a rest first and call this young man to deal with the business?" Two is enough.”

After that, he continued to say to Jiang Fan: "Brother, we are acquaintances. For dinner tonight, Zhang wants to invite me to be alone with him. I wonder if I can do it for you?"

Jiang Fan thought for a while and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I am disrespectful."

The big shopkeeper chuckled, touched his beard on his lips, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, the waiter of the shop came forward and respectfully invited Jiang Fan and others to enter the room.

Jiang Fan took a look at him. He was dressed like a very ordinary waiter in a shop, and his appearance was ordinary, so he could not be seen in the crowd.

"Thank you very much. What do you call me, second brother?"

The waiter in the shop quickly bowed: "I don't dare to address you as a distinguished guest. My humble name is Tong Dan. I specialize in serving distinguished guests. If you have anything to do, just give me your instructions."

Jiang Fan nodded, smiled slightly, and walked into the room.

After the tea was poured, the waiter exited and closed the door.

Zhang Zhiling never returned to his room, but sat in Jiang Fan's room, staring at the tea as if thinking.

Jiang Fan was a little surprised: "Master, there was something wrong with your boss just now."

Zhang Zhiling slowly raised his head: "Disciple, is this the big shopkeeper you mentioned, Zhang?"

Jiang Fan said: "That's right. I just realized that the master's breath changed slightly when he saw him. I don't know why?"

Zhang Zhiling pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I can't tell, I always feel like I've seen this person somewhere..."

Jiang Fan was a little curious: "There are still people that the master can't remember?"

"It's not that I can't remember, but...it's very strange, as if I've seen it before, but also as if I haven't seen it before..."

This statement made Jiang Fan a little confused, and he said blankly: "Master, you are only ninety-eight years old this year..."

Zhang Zhiling was stunned for a moment, and then became furious the next moment. He came out with a ruler and said: "You bastard, are you calling me an idiot?"

Jiang Fan couldn't see the ruler and hurriedly laughed: "Haha, it's not there, it's just that the master's statement is weird, and the disciple is a little confused."

Zhang Zhiling snorted: "I can't explain clearly, but as you said, this person met you before the war in Daicheng. His words were very profound, and his tone was surprisingly loud. He should not be a simple person, but as he just said You see, this person has no aura of martial arts, and behaves like an ordinary person."

"The more this happens, the more difficult it will be." Jiang Fan said.

Zhang Zhiling nodded in agreement: "It's possible that this person's cultivation level is too high, so high that even a teacher can't tell."

Jiang Fan couldn't help but be surprised. His teacher Zhang Zhiling was an expert in suppressing the Two Saints Realm with an inkstone. It was unbelievable that he couldn't see Zhang's depth.

"Don't be surprised. There are so many strange people in the world. As a teacher, I dare not say that I am at the top. Just like your old immortal Sun, doesn't he look like a wretched old man?"

Jiang Fan agreed: "That's true, but I'm a little bit confused. If he is so tall, why would he be the shopkeeper of a mere Yuelai branch, and why would he seek out me?"

"There is no point in making blind guesses. You can find out a few things during dinner tonight. Remember to be very careful. Although you have come here with the imperial court's decree and openly entered the court, you still need to be careful of someone with ulterior motives and no scruples."

Jiang Fan turned his head and looked at Xiao Xixi, who was blowing bubbles while sleeping, and smiled: "Master, don't worry, I'm always very cautious."

Zhang Zhiling followed his gaze and glanced at the little girl, a little strange: "I've wanted to ask you this for a long time, why do you keep bringing this little girl with you?"

Jiang Fan smiled softly: "It's too clingy. That's what babies do when they haven't grown up yet."

He didn't say it because he was afraid that Zhang Zhiling would be worried. After all, letting the old man know that he was carrying a thousand-year-old female corpse with him might cause a heart attack.

After washing and resting, it was already dusk. Jiang Fan arranged his clothes and went to the banquet happily.

The big shopkeeper's banquet was neither high-profile nor sumptuous. It was held at the small restaurant where the two had their first meal. However, they finally found a seat on the second floor. When they opened the window, they could see the brightly lit Yuelai not far away. Inn.

The seating is not big, only two people. Jiang Fan personally picked up the jug and poured the wine.

"Where is that little girl? I am very happy, why didn't I take her with me?"

Jiang Fan smiled and said, "I drank too much and I'm confused."

The big shopkeeper was a little regretful: "Thankfully, I brought a private collection of century-old wine. I can't give it to you, kid. Let's keep it for the girl to drink. It's good for you and me to drink some of the turbid wine from this tavern. I drink this too."

Jiang Fan smiled and said: "It seems that the old shopkeeper really likes this tavern."

Zhang turned his finger and smiled: "This small wine shop has more fireworks."

"Oh? This is not what a wealthy person like you would say, and this place is not very suitable for someone as wealthy as you."

Zhang said: "Everyone has their own preferences, and I prefer to be more vulgar. Eating all kinds of grains and savoring all kinds of delicacies in the world is better than looking at a few tributes on a shrine all day long and enduring the smoke and fire." ”

Jiang Fan laughed: "That's interesting. It sounds like the statue in the temple."

"It's just adobe clay sculpture, and the world is just ignorant."

"It's always a place of faith."

Zhang disagrees: "People in the world are used to using mysterious colors to render the unknown, but in fact it is just out of fear of the unknown."

"Oh? But I wonder if the old shopkeeper has any unknown fears?"

Zhang smiled: "Zhang is also a layman, of course. For example..."

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Fan: "Your monkey."

Jiang Fan was about to pick up the wine glass, but when he heard the words, he paused, gently put it down, took out a ring from his arms and put it on the table: "Old shopkeeper, this VIP ticket really allows you to see more good shows."

"It must be worth the money." Zhang said with a smile.

Jiang Fan nodded: "This ticket is indeed useful. But I don't know why the old gentleman can have the Taiyue ticket?"

Zhang did not answer, but asked: "When did I say it was a Taiyue ticket, you just want to use it there."

"But Taiyue is unusual after all, and I can't help but wonder."

Zhang snorted: "Taiyue, since it is in the human world, it is a mountain in the human world, and people in the world can enter it without any scruples, but it has a big door to isolate itself from the world, as if it really thinks it is a place outside the world, If you have the ability, don't accept the support of the world. "

Jiang Fan laughed: "People call that Nan Tianmen."

"What a bullshit Nan Tianmen, self-righteous, lost the incense of the world, and lost the foundation of foothold, stupid."

Jiang Fan said strangely: "The old shopkeeper doesn't seem to have a good impression of Taiyue."

"That can't be said, some people are still good, and I can't kill them with one stick, but more people have long been worn away by time, and their minds have been confused by the incense, forgetting who they are, where they come from, and where they are going. "
