Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed when he looked at this young man in black who was a little taller and stronger than him.

Asked: "Does it taste good? Don't worry, there is more."

The young man in black was not polite. He reached out and grabbed the chopsticks on the table and stretched them towards the beef on the plate. He suddenly smiled at Li Xiuyuan.

Hehe said: "Brother, let me tell you a story. Anyway, staying here is idle."

But the thoughts of everyone around were the same as Li Xiuyuan's. Anyway, it was idle, so let's listen to the story told by the young man.

After eating two pieces of meat and drinking a glass of spiritual wine, the young man in black calmed himself down.

Then he looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "This is a story I only heard recently. Brother, don't make fun of it."

Li Xiuyuan poured him another glass of wine and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly."

After eating, the young man in black spoke louder and said, "It is said that a hundred miles away from the wasteland past Luoshui Town, there was a sacred spring..."

Legend has it that mortals who drink it have the hope of condensing immortal veins, while cultivators who drink it have more hope of breaking through the limitations of this world, and even ascending in the daytime and leaving the Shenlong Continent.

It was originally a paradise, where people lived a carefree life without any fights. Until one day, a group of mysterious people came and dug up the sacred spring.

Legend has it that these people were mysterious and unpredictable, coming in the storm and killing all living creatures that saw them.

From then on, that paradise slowly turned into a desert land...

The boy in black tells a story that everyone knows, but it has been so long ago that no one has ever found out the truth of the story.

Even if there were some hopeful monks who went to the desert to look for the legendary divine spring, they disappeared into the desert one after another without any reason.

Over time, everyone regarded this legend as a fictitious myth, and many monks died in the desert, so that no one mentioned it again.

None of the merchants or monks in the inn cared about the story told by the young man in black. Everyone just looked at Li Xiuyuan in silence while eating meat and drinking wine while listening to the story.

Although Li Xiuyuan knew nothing about divine springs, peach fields, and deserts, he was very satisfied after hearing the story.

He looked at the young man in black and said with a smile: "Didn't it disappear later?"

The young man in black didn't show any intention of showing off, but looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "Is there any more meat? I'm hungry."

Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Man, cut up another three kilograms of meat."

"Okay, sir, wait a moment." The waiter heard this and responded loudly.

The young man in black took a sip from the wine glass and said, "There is another legend about this story. It is said that gods came to the Dragon Valley and took away the divine spring here, causing it to slowly turn into a desert."

"Later, some monks came to explore, looking for the legendary magic medicine and fairy grass, and trying to find a way to achieve immortality."

At this point, the young man in black became quiet and spoke slowly while eating meat.

Li Xiuyuan didn't care, he was interested in all the legends of Shenlong Continent.

After all, I am just a pedestrian passing by in a hurry, and I may have to leave here soon.

If you can really find a legendary magical herb, it would be a good choice to leave it to your father, mother, sister, husband and wife.

The young man in black continued: "It is said that whenever there is a storm in the desert, people who go on adventures can see different skeletons walking in the wild sand, which is very weird."

"It's just that the monks who entered the desert died inexplicably. I heard these stories from others. The place is too mysterious, and I didn't dare to go and find out."

When the young man in black said this, he looked at Li Xiuyuan with eager eyes. It was clear that we were going to have an adventure together, how about it?

However, Li Xiuyuan just ate tea and drank quietly and did not reveal that he was interested in going to find out.

Regarding what the young man in black said, everyone remained silent after listening to it.

They had heard this story countless times, but no one would regard it as a joke, because even they did not dare to go to that place to dig out the truth.

Not to mention the young man in black who is only a teenager in front of him.

Unfortunately, Li Xiuyuan is also wearing a black shirt today, and his hair is darker and thicker than that of the boy and the three men in black.

If it weren't for the Xuanyu aura in his brows, everyone would have misunderstood him as just a poor boy living in the world.

The young man's story did not reveal any more information, and Li Xiuyuan was not disappointed. He did not expect to get any secrets from the young man in black.

I passed by this inn just to take a rest and listen to a legendary story, which was not bad.

As for the young man in front of him, he just regarded it as a friend.

He even felt a kind of intimacy with the boy, but he couldn't describe that feeling, and he was too embarrassed to ask in front of everyone.

At this time, the waiter brought another plate of beef.

Looking at the two of them, he smiled and said, "You two, use it slowly. If you don't have enough, call me. There aren't many other things in the shop, but this meat tube is enough."

Li Xiuyuan nodded, took out two spiritual stones and handed them over, saying, "Eat first, then talk."

After being stunned for a moment, the boy in black suddenly laughed.

Looking at Li Xiuyuan, he said: "Xiao Hei has been hungry for many days, and these guys are not willing to give me a plate of meat. Brother, you are so kind..."

Li Xiuyuan sighed, stretched out his hand and gently took down the branch above his head.

Asked: "Xiao Hei, where did you go just now? Why is your head so messed up?"

Xiao Hei looked at him and smiled, moved the corners of his mouth slightly, and started chatting with him.

Li Xiuyuan was startled, thinking of the crow he saw on the old tree when he entered, and couldn't help but pat his head and laugh.

Said: "Do you want to play with me?"

When Xiao Hei heard this, he took a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. He said with a smile: "Xiao Hei is fine anyway, so he and his brother are going to explore the world."

While he was speaking, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but frown slightly.

Looking at the shopkeeper walking over, he said quietly: "Is it windy outside?"

The merchants sitting around were stunned, thinking that Luoshui Town is not far from the seaside, what day will there be no wind?

Even a group of monks didn't understand what he said, and no one cared whether the wind would blow outside the inn.

Everyone turned back to drink and eat meat for a while, no longer paying attention to the two teenagers in front of them.

Suddenly, the inn became quiet.

Sure enough, there was a sound of wind outside the inn, and in the roar, grains of sand flew up and blew on the doors and windows of the inn. Some of them blew along the door into the house, and the sound became louder and louder.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the shopkeeper not far away from him, sighed softly, put two pieces of beef into Xiao Hei's bowl, but deliberately knocked the beef that the waiter had just brought to the ground.

He looked careless.

The face of the shopkeeper in front of me was smiling a moment ago, but he revealed a strong murderous intention!

He has seen countless killers and bandits in his life. It can be said that since he came down from the Tianshan Mountains at the age of eight, he has fought to the death with the famous Five Tigers in the Five Regions.

A skilled killer has no trace of murderous intent.

This is why the old monk asked Buli to practice with him, and this is why he threw the monk Buli by the Tongtian River and asked him to see all living beings and get rid of the murderous intention in his life.

A killer is like the spring rain, or at least the night rain is silent and no one knows.

But the shopkeeper standing in front of him with a smile on his face was not a very clever killer.

There is no way of knowing how this guy sneaked into the inn, nor how he killed the shopkeeper and then poisoned the plate of beef.

You know, Li Ye learned the knowledge of medicinal herbs from his husband when he was a child on Tianshan Mountain. He has already known all the elixirs and poisons in the world.

Right now, he can be said to be invulnerable to all poisons.

However, he is not afraid of poison, but that does not mean that Xiao Hei, who is willing to step forward, is not afraid either.

He didn't even know that he was just a passerby passing by and didn't know the shopkeeper in front of him at all. Where did this hatred come from?

No matter how you look at yourself, you don’t look like a wealthy owner?

Could it be that this guy is here to kill the young man in black in front of him?

If that's the case, then what's the explanation for Xiao Hei having been standing on a branch outside the inn?

Li Xiuyuan is a little annoyed. If you don't accept it, then do it! After saying it with fists, why bother to assassinate?

However, the killer's thoughts were different.

The only thing you want to kill is to spend the least amount of money, complete your mission, and then retreat as quickly as possible.

Even if you fail to complete the task, you should leave quickly and wait for the next time to look for modern opportunities.

In Li Xiuyuan's eyes, this killer pretending to be the shopkeeper would not hesitate to weigh the unknown young man in front of him for this opportunity. Perhaps in his eyes, the two young men were just ants in his eyes.

Even if Li Xiuyuan hinted at him, even if he knew that he had been exposed, he still wanted to fight to the death.

Complete the task at hand and get the reward he wants.

Then he lurks down and lives a comfortable and quiet life for a few years before looking for the next assassination mission. This is the killer.

He is a peerless master, with a cultivation level comparable to that of the United States, so how can he be afraid of the two young men in front of him who don't even have spiritual veins?

A knife, a slender knife with a faint light.

A knife that harvests life is like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole, stabbing towards Li Xiuyuan.

Before Li Xiuyuan could react, the shopkeeper himself pulled out a long sword and stabbed Xiao Hei, who was lowering his head to eat meat.

One sword will kill Li Xiuyuan, and one sword will kill Xiao Hei!
