Chapter 505 Shameless Old Beggar (Part 1)
Full Moon Tower is located at the east end of Chang'an Street in Zhuque District, where there is an endless stream of people coming and going, and the market is the busiest.
The entire restaurant is divided into three floors. The "Five Lakes and Four Seas Hall" on the bottom floor occupies a very large area. It is said that it can accommodate hundreds of banquets. There are also singing and dancing performances in the middle of the hall, ranging from wealthy businessmen and court officials to martial arts knights. , traders, and pawns, as long as they have money, they can have fun here.
"Five Lakes and Four Seas", as the name suggests, means that everyone gets drunk and enjoys the same thing regardless of where they are born.
The "Shan Gao Yun Hai Tower" on the second floor has private compartments and is equipped with special servants to serve. This place is usually a gathering place for royal family members, nobles, or high-status people such as important ministers of the court. place.
As for the "Star Reaching and Peng Yue Pavilion" on the highest floor, it rarely entertains guests. In other words, even if someone has climbed to the third floor, others will not know about it.
At this time, on the bottom floor of the Full Moon Building, there was a scholar in Tsing Yi sitting alone in the corner, sipping a cup of tea.
Three days have passed since Liang Yan received the news from "One Ear".
In the past three days, Liang Yan has been coming to the Full Moon Building to drink tea every day. He is now in the late stage of foundation building. Under the cover of his spiritual consciousness, let alone the small Full Moon Building, even if it is a two-mile radius, as long as it is He can clearly feel his thoughts as soon as they occur.
However, nothing seems to have happened in the past few days, and I have not met the so-called "Princess Qinwan".
Liang Yan was slightly disappointed. He drank all the tea in the cup, put the tea money on the table, stood up and walked out.
It was already sunset, but people were still coming and going on the streets, and there were many beggars begging on the road. Liang Yan had just walked out of the gate of Man Yue Tower, and when he glanced at the crowd across the street, something strange suddenly appeared.
Among a group of beggars across the street, there was an old beggar with white beard and white hair, wearing rags. This old beggar was carrying a sapphire wooden staff with a big wine gourd hanging on it. It was the Qiao Wanli he had seen in Zhiyuan City that day!
On that day, everyone surrounded and exterminated the lord of Yuancheng, Ximen Hao. The "Beggar of the North Sea" Qiao Wanli was also one of the participants. Later, when Shi Guanghan and others were defeated, Qiao Wanli escaped from the hands of Liang Yan and Ximen Hao calmly. .
However, this is also related to the fact that Liang Yan was only in the early stage of foundation building at that time. Now that Liang Yan has advanced to the late stage of foundation building, Qiao Wanli can no longer escape from him even if he has extraordinary means.
While Liang Yan was secretly sizing up the old beggar, Qiao Wanli was also scanning back and forth in front of the Man Yue Tower. When his eyes fell on Liang Yan, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
He patted his butt and, regardless of the dirt on his body, walked directly through the crowd and rushed towards Liang Yan.
Liang Yan was slightly startled, and he thought to himself: "Could this old guy recognize him? That's not right! Now that I have changed my body using the magic of 'Yuan Mu Dao', even the monks in the Juyuan Realm may not be able to see through me. Disguise, how can he, a foundation-building monk, know?"
When Liang Yan was confused, Qiao Wanli had already rushed in front of him. Liang Yan subconsciously turned aside, but saw that Qiao Wanli didn't say much to him at all, and lay down directly in front of him, and returned the favor. Squeezing out a few tears, he shouted:
"Oh, murder! This young man killed someone! He killed my old man!"
Liang Yan was really shocked and speechless.
It took him a long time to react, and he thought to himself: "Is this the legendary blackmail?"
Although Liang Yan no longer takes Qiao Wanli in his eyes anymore, he is still a monk in the late stage of foundation building. He can become the founder of a small sect outside, but now he is lying on the ground like a dead fish. It is really It's a bit embarrassing.
Seeing Liang Yan's silence, Qiao Wanli thought that the tender-faced scholar had been frightened, so he immediately raised a hand, grabbed his pants, and said angrily: "Do you want to default on the bill? You bumped into my old man, and all the bones in his body fell apart. ! Ouch, I can’t even stand up!”
Liang Yan's face also darkened and he shouted: "There are so many people coming out in front of this restaurant, why are you blackmailing me instead of others?"
Qiao Wanli thought to himself: "You have a tender face, and you are well-dressed. Young people are all about respect. If I don't blackmail you, who would I blackmail you with?"
He was thinking this in his heart, but his face was pretending to be sad. He lay down on the ground and shouted: "Everyone, come and take a look. This scholar bumped into my old man and wanted to run away! Please give me some advice. , What kind of world is this?"
Qiao Wanli, a gray-haired old man, was lying on the ground, screaming miserably. Immediately, many people came to watch, and some of them who didn't know the truth pointed at Liang Yan with a look of contempt.
Even among the group of beggars across the street, many people secretly gave a thumbs up and praised in a low voice: "Ginger is still very old, and this old guy's acting skills are nothing to say!"
Liang Yan calmed down at this moment. He glanced at Qiao Wanli on the ground and thought to himself: "This person will never blackmail a mortal for no reason. If he really has the ability to see through my cultivation, he must have an ulterior motive for this, but If you just treat me as a mortal, you must have something in mind!"
Thinking of this, Liang Yan pretended to be panicked and reached out to help him. At the same time, he said: "Old man, why is this happening? It was Tang who was careless. Please get up quickly and I will take you to see the injury." .”
Seeing this, Qiao Wanli was helped up by him, but his voice was still very weak and he said: "This little brother doesn't seem to be a disgusting person. In fact, I am old, and I can't heal well."
Liang Yan pondered for a moment and then said, "How about I pay the old man some money?"
Qiao Wanli laughed and said: "The old man has been begging all his life, what can he do with so much money! But since the little brother is so thoughtful, the old man has a wish and wants to ask the little brother for help."
"I just said it's okay, old man." Liang Yan nodded.
Qiao Wanli said with a smile: "The old man has nothing better than good food in his life. He has long heard of the reputation of the Man Yue Building. The dishes at the 'Five Lakes and Four Seas Hall' are excellent, but the 'Shangao Yunhai Building' on the second floor is... There are even more delicacies. If my little brother can invite me to have a meal at the 'Shan Gao Yun Hai Tower', I will die with no regrets, old man!"
When everyone onlookers heard this, many people woke up and realized that this old man was actually a cheating man. Some people even secretly felt sorry for Liang Yan that he had met such a shameless old beggar.
But Liang Yan smiled slightly.
"It turns out it's such a small thing, Tang promised you!"
He waved his hand very boldly, turned around and led Qiao Wanli back to the Man Yue Tower.
