The Dream Master

"I have always liked to travel. I wanted to go to the East Bay to take a look at the vast sea scenery. When I passed through Pingqiu County, I heard people say that the Tiankeng scenery in Dali Mountain is beautiful, so I rushed over. It's a worthwhile trip." Shen Luo's eyebrows moved slightly, as if thinking of something, as he said, he raised his wine glass to respect the beautiful scenery outside the window, and drank it in one gulp.

The green plum wine entered his throat, a slightly sour and sweet, and then a hot and peculiar smell of wine spread between his tongue and throat, which made him raise his eyebrows, quite pleasantly surprised.

"Hehe, I still don't see much in the daytime. At night, the moonlight in this pit is a must-see. It's just that it has been rainy and rainy during this period. If it is covered by thick clouds at night, you can see nothing." Ao Hong also pours his own drink.

At this time, the inn’s food was also served one after another, and Shen Luo chatted with Ao Hong for a drink.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the two of them chatted quite speculatively. At this moment, there was a messy footsteps at the door. They turned their heads at the same time and saw that the cotton curtain outside the door had been lifted. personal.

All of these people were wearing heavy fur clothes and bamboo braided hats on their heads. After entering the house, they all took off one by one and put them down next to the door against the wall.

The first one is a tall, short-bearded old man with piercing eyes and a vigorous look. There are two other young people with white faces and sick appearances, their appearances and statures are about the same, they look like twins. .

In addition to these three people, there is also a woman with an exquisite figure, but her face is covered with a black veil, and her face is not clearly visible.

Under the clothes of these four people, they all wore brown shorts, with a circle of thumb-thick hemp rope wrapped around their waists, and dirt around their feet and legs, as if they had just walked through the mud of the mountains and forests.

"Yeah, shopkeeper Chen, are there new customers in the store?" The headed old man with short beard glanced at the two Shen Shen and said with a smile.

Listening to that tone, it seems that he is very familiar with the short and fat shopkeeper in the inn.

"Brother Lu, it's not the popularity that you brought to you after you came. Otherwise, in this season of previous years, besides you swallow pickers, where would anyone be willing to come to this poor country?" The pudgy shopkeeper laughed.

"Caiyan?" Shen Luo was slightly surprised.

He is no stranger to this business, that is, collecting bird's nests and selling them, and the drug store in their house often deals with bird-pickers.

"Haha, it's still the same way. Warm up a few pots of wine, prepare a few dishes, and send them to the room. The air leaks in all directions in this hall, making people panic and swish cold." The old man with short beard greeted. , And walked upstairs on his own.

The other three also followed upstairs.

It was just that the masked woman who was walking at the end, when ascending the stairs, glanced at the window as if not, and she didn't know if she was looking at Shen Luo or Ao Hong.

"It feels a bit cold when the old man said so, shopkeeper Chen, help warm up this pot of wine." Shen Luo said, wrapped his cloak, and shouted to the shopkeeper.

"Good." The shopkeeper had already gone to the back kitchen to help, and the shopkeeper rushed over by himself.

Seeing him approaching, Shen Luo pretended to ask casually:

"Speaking of February and March, it is the rainy season. The insects reproduce vigorously, the swallows have sufficient food, the saliva secretion is strong, and the quality of the bird's nests is the best. Leave?"

"The guest official said that it is an ordinary golden swiftlet. On the cliff of Tiankeng of Dali Mountain, there is a special kind of swiftlet called'Swift'. They secrete saliva and build a nest one night at a time. The month is just right now." Shopkeeper Chen explained with a smile after hearing the words.

"It turns out that I'm ignorant in Xia." Shen Luo nodded.

"In any case, the quality of the Swift's bird's nest is not as good as the golden swiftlet. There is no name, and the guest officer does not know. Speaking of which, they will collect it at this time every year." Shopkeeper Chen smiled.

After speaking, he also went busy to feed those people Zhang Luo.

Shen Luo and Ao Hong chatted one after another, glancing at the scenery outside the window from time to time.

At the same time, in a guest room upstairs, the four former swallow pickers were sitting around a table.

"The two people next to the window downstairs, if I read correctly, they are both practicing practitioners, I'm afraid they are also rushing to the blue-eyed golden toad." The short-bearded old man looked serious, without a slight smile, and said. .

"Dare to grab us, kill it." The two pale-faced young men looked at each other and said in unison.

"Huh, it's easy to kill. Do you know their background? Is there anyone else behind them? What if it causes more trouble?" The woman snorted coldly, still covering her face.

"Daoist Yu Xin is right. The situation is unclear at the moment. Don't act rashly." The old man with short beard nodded and said.

"Senior Tong Guan, let's not talk about this, are we really sure to find the blue-eyed Jin Chan this time?" The masked woman called Yu Xin raised her eyebrows and asked.

"We have been here for five consecutive years. The golden toad will only show up once when it is shaken by thunder at the end of the rainy season. We have missed the opportunity every time before. This time we set up traps in advance. We will definitely not let them. Escape." The short-bearded old man named Tong Guan clenched his fists, his eyes burning.

"That's good. As long as the task is successfully completed this time, I can enter the general altar and meet the Holy Lord, right?" Yu Xin asked eagerly.

"You can rest assured, if you can win the golden toad, your merits are naturally enough to meet the Holy Master." Tong Guan nodded.

After Yu Xin got this satisfactory answer, she left and went back to her room.

"Tong Lao, I always think this surname Yu is not credible?" The two young men spoke again, saying together.

"She has been in our body training altar for a short period of time, so she really needs to beware. But in the past few days, we can see that she is really fascinated by the general altar and never sloppy in doing things. A wonderful chess." Tong Guan said slowly.

"After using it...can it?" one of the two young men said independently for the first time.

"Fengshan, with a knife on your head, can't you stop eating shit?" Another person stared angrily and said.

"Fengshui, brother is just such a little fun, you also want to care?" the former mumbled dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, wait until this task is completed. No one is allowed to cause trouble to me during this period, otherwise none of us will want to have good fruit." Tong Guan snorted, and the two brothers shut up immediately.

After a moment of silence, Tong Guan sighed silently: "Everything is ready, just waiting for thunder."
