Being slapped directly in the face, the scholar was not angry. Instead, he said helplessly: "We depend on this for a living. Even if it rains, even if it hails, we will get what we deserve."

"Okay, do I want to hear your excuse?" the shop owner said impatiently, "Which bank do you belong to?"

"It's from Jibaozhai." The scholar said, taking out the thick account book from the book box, opening it, and saw that the ink inside had been washed away by the rain. He quickly closed the account book and said: " Boss, please take out your IOU, I want to reconcile it."

"Reconciliation?"

The sharp-eyed shopkeeper saw that his account book was still dripping, so he snatched it over, opened it, and immediately sneered: "You don't even have an account, so why don't you, waiter, kick him out..."

"What's wrong, Taoist Priest?"

From the window seat, seeing Qin Yao watching the quarrel without blinking, Nie Xiaoqian asked in a low voice.

Qin Yao pointed at the scholar in blue shirt and said with a smile: "This person is destined to you... I will definitely meet again."

Nie Xiaoqian looked in the direction of his finger and saw the scholar being pushed out by the waiter in a state of embarrassment. A trace of doubt gradually appeared on his face.

How could such an ordinary-looking debt collector have any fate with them?

Faced with the visible confusion on Nie Xiaoqian's face, Qin Yao didn't explain much.

No obligation, no need.

"stand up."

Not long after, five large and thick soldiers holding long swords suddenly broke into the inn. One of them glanced across the inn. His eyes lit up slightly when he saw Nie Xiaoqian, and his eyes gleamed when he saw the burly Qin Yao. , rushed over with a knife in hand and shouted loudly.

Qin Yao sat upright on the chair, raised his head and asked, "Why?"

"Bang, bang."

The soldier tapped the handle of his sword on his bamboo armor with a fierce look on his face: "Can't you see clearly the uncle's clothes? If I tell you to stand up, you have to stand up!"

"come here."

Qin Yao waved.

The soldier frowned and took two steps forward: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, hurry up."

"Bang."

Qin Yao slapped him hard on the forehead. The huge force caused him to suddenly fall to the ground and fainted on the spot.

"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang..."

Seeing this, the other four soldiers drew out their knives at the same time and looked at Qin Yao eagerly.

Qin Yao raised his head slightly, and a powerful spiritual power was released from his eyes, condensing on the four swords.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang."

The next moment, four long knives exploded at the same time, and the fragments narrowly missed the bodies of the four people. They were so frightened that their legs weakened and they knelt directly on the ground.

"Carry this guy away." Qin Yao pointed at the unconscious soldier and said indifferently.

The four of them crawled up to the soldier, lifted up his body, and ran out of the inn without looking back.

"Second servant, sweep the floor." Qin Yao said calmly.

"I'm going down Sunfu Road to meet the master." Just as the waiter went out to get the broom, the shop owner came to Qin Yao and said with his hands in hand.

"Is something wrong?" Qin Yao asked.

Sun Fulu smiled and said: "I can't help but be overjoyed that I have the chance to meet this master. I've invited this table. I just hope that the master can remember my name."

Qin Yao waved his hand and said: "You will be exempted from the debt, and you will not be rewarded for no merit. By the way, just now I saw those soldiers looked at me wrongly. Does the shopkeeper know the reason?"

Sun Fulu nodded slightly: "Nowadays, the world is in chaos. There are countless bandits and thieves. The soldiers all over the city are looking for thieves and bandits. They probably regard you as a bandit and are ready to arrest you to receive the reward..."

Qin Yao was silent.

These are troubled times.

"Hello, brother, is there any place nearby where I can stay for free?"

Towards evening, the sky cleared after the rain, and a red moon even appeared in the western sky.

The penniless and struggling scholar came to a cake stall and asked with a smile on his face.

"How can you stay overnight for free?" The cake seller shook his head and said casually, "Unless you go to Lanruo Temple."

"Lanruo Temple?" The scholar looked curious: "Where is that place?"

The boss was stunned: "You don't know Lanruo Temple?"

The scholar scratched his head: "Should I know?"

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it and don't risk your life for no reason." The boss shook his head.

The scholar asked: "Is this Lanruo Temple dangerous?"

"Do you want to buy cakes?" the boss suddenly asked.

The scholar's face froze: "I have no money..."

"If you don't have money, go further. Don't delay my business." The boss waved away.

In the blink of an eye, it was night, and the scholar who couldn't find a place to stay had no choice but to carry a lantern, read "I will enter the wine" to strengthen his courage, and stride into the wolf forest.

From dusk to nightfall, although he could not find a place to stay, he knew the location of Lanruo Temple.

Although he still didn't know where the danger would be, he felt that no matter how dangerous it was, it would be better than sleeping on the road at night...

After running for a while, he finally came to a temple. The scholar reached out and pushed towards the door, only to find that the door seemed to have been inserted from the inside. No matter how hard he tried, he could not push out a crack.

"anyone there?"

"Is there anyone inside?"

He blew out the lantern in his hand, slapped the door, and shouted.

It's a pity that no matter how much he shouts, no one responds, just like no matter how hard he tries, he can't change poverty.

For a moment, sadness came over him. He slowly squatted down against the door, covered his face and cried.

This world is so difficult...

"Taoist Master, is he the person we saw this morning?" Not long after, a slightly cold voice suddenly sounded in front of him.

The scholar quickly raised his head and looked around, only to see a burly man leading a pretty woman striding towards him and suddenly stopping in front of him.

"You two are polite." The scholar wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with his hands.

Qin Yao pursed his lips and asked in a deep voice: "Why are you crying in front of my dojo this late at night?"

The scholar's face was full of shame: "I'm sorry, I just feel sad and can't restrain myself."

"What's your name?" Qin Yao paused slightly and confirmed.

"I'm Ning Caichen."

Qin Yao put his hand on the door, pushed it gently, and the door opened immediately: "Meeting means destiny, Ning Caichen, come in and talk."

Ning Caichen thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, thank you very much."

Qin Yao led him towards the courtyard and asked, "No one dares to come here. Why are you here?"

Ning Caichen said humbly: "I just want to stay in a house for one night."

"It's easy to talk about this." Qin Yao ordered: "Xiaoqian, go and take Mr. Ning to choose a room."

"Yes, Taoist Master." Nie Xiaoqian responded respectfully.

After half a cup of tea, Xiaoqian returned to Qin Yao's room and spoke softly: "Taoist Master, Mr. Ning has been arranged."

On the bed, Qin Yao stretched his body and said slowly: "Well... you come in and give me a squeeze on your feet."

Nie Xiaoqian: "?"

First, it was cleaning, but this made me pinch my feet. What else will happen in the future?
