The Lone Walker

The man in black was none other than Chen Fan, who was preparing to go to the Banbudu Inn. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet his disciple Balian and Xu Xian. In order not to miss the plot, he chose to go with the two of them.

"Hey! Brother, don't worry. It will take at least three days to get to the Banbudu Inn. We two brothers are planning to rest here for a while, and we will go together later..."

At this time, Ba Liang saw that Chen Fan looked like a scholar just like Xu Xian, so he reminded him.

"That couldn't be better..." Chen Fan said with a smile as he looked at Balian.

Then the three of them sat down under a big tree to rest. At this time, Chen Fan took out a bottle of fat house happy water from his arms, which attracted the attention of Ba Liang and Xu Xian...

It was because the two of them had just left Luoshui Town and had not had time to buy some dry food and drinks, so when they saw the black drink in Chen Fan's hand, they couldn't help but be tempted.

"Uh, haha, brother, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but you can't eat alone when you're out there. You have to learn to share with others, you see..."

At this time, Ba Liang looked very mature. He moved slowly towards the place where Chen Fan was sitting. He stared at the Coke bottle in Chen Fan's hand and kept swallowing his saliva.

"Oh? Excuse me, in that case, please taste it together, brothers..."

Chen Fan smiled slightly, took out two bottles of Coke from his arms and handed them to the two. After the two took them, they felt icy cold, but there was nothing they could do about it.

After all, this Coke has been stored in the refrigerator for a long time, so it is very cold, and the storage space has been in a static state, so it remains in the state of just being taken out of the refrigerator.

“Hiss…Hiccup…”

Ba Liang and Xu Xian imitated Chen Fan's actions and unscrewed the bottle cap. They sniffed it carefully for a moment and found nothing unusual. Then they took a big gulp...

"Ahem... It's so refreshing. It's so refreshing. I never thought there would be such a good wine in the world. I have lived half my life in vain. I didn't expect that I would be able to drink such a good wine today. God has been very kind to me..."

Ba Liang took a sip of iced cola. He felt a little uncomfortable at first and choked and coughed continuously.

Later, he picked up the Coke bottle and drank it all in one gulp. Xu Xian followed suit. After a while, after drinking two bottles of Coke, the two of them felt much better.

"Brother, tell me how your wine is made. It is so delicious. Once you drink it, you will never forget it. How can you drink other wines in the future?"

Ba Liang held Chen Fan's arm and asked.

"This stuff is passed down from my ancestors. There is no recipe, and only a hundred or so bottles have been passed down to me. Therefore, if you drink one bottle, one bottle is less..." Chen Fan responded at this time.

Ba Liang: “…”

Xu Xian: “…”

Upon hearing this, Ba Liang said with a dull look in his eyes: "My goodness, we two brothers drank your family heirloom, haha, this brother is really generous..."

……

In the next three days, Xu Xian and Balian ate and drank food they had never seen before from Chen Fan many times. For a while, they began to speculate about Chen Fan's identity...

Unconsciously, the three of them had already arrived at the outskirts of the Banbuduo Inn...

"Uh, big bearded man, there's nothing here, where did this inn come from?"

Looking at this dead end, Xu Xian couldn't help but ask Balian.

"That's right. The map my master gave me said it's nearby. Yes, it's right here. Strange? Why are there so many walls?"

Looking at the terrain here, Ba Liang couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Seeing Xu Xian looking at him like a liar, Ba Liang instantly became furious and said, "Hmph, brothers, stand still and let me flatten it with one palm."

"No, Big Beard, why do you want to tear down other people's walls for no reason?" Xu Xian advised.

"Yes, brother Balian, since this is an inn, it is impossible for only the three of us to stay here. Why don't we hide aside and see how others get in, and then make a decision..." Chen Fan also spoke up to persuade.

"Yeah, why didn't we think of that, haha. Brother Chen is really quick-witted. If it were me, I would have flattened that wall a long time ago?"

Upon hearing this, Ba Liang said happily that after all, it is better to have less trouble than more.

Then the three of them hid in the dark streets, waiting for other people who were staying a short distance away to come...

Sure enough, not long after, a monk in a hurry came here. Suddenly, the monk stopped and looked at the three people hiding aside. After a moment, he chanted a Buddhist name, turned around and walked towards a brightly lit house.

The three of them hurriedly followed him, and saw the monk walk in and head straight to the counter...

"Amitabha..." The monk looked at the person sitting beside the counter and chanted the Buddha's name.

"Hey, monk, are you going to go half a step further?" the shopkeeper asked at this time.

"Yes, I was chasing an old friend all the way. She is faster than me, so she got here first."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper said with some displeasure:

"You monk, that's enough. You chased him to his doorstep and you won't let him go?"

The monk did not reply when he heard this, but said directly: "Please lend me the lantern, boss."

……

"May I ask your Buddhist name, monk?" the shopkeeper suddenly asked.

"Fahai……"

"Where are you coming from and where are you going?"

"Come from where you came from, go to where you are going?" Fahai responded.

It turns out that the monk in a hurry was Fahai in the original novel. The old ginseng spirit and his grandson both ascended to heaven thanks to a pot of dragon and phoenix soup cooked by Chen Fan.

But what this world is most lacking is mountain spirits and monsters. Since being attacked by Bai Suzhen, Fafa Hai has become more paranoid and has recently set his sights on an old vixen.

Then they followed him all the way to Banbudu, and saw Fahai take the lantern and turn away. Then the three of them walked out of the darkness and came to the door of Banbudu.

"Boss, please bring us three of the lanterns that the monk just took..." the bearded man said impatiently as he entered the door.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper glanced at the bearded man and said disdainfully, "A rough man from the mountains..."

The bearded man was immediately furious when he heard this, but fortunately Xu Xian stopped him and said:

"I'm sorry, shopkeeper. The bearded man is not very good at talking. I'll bring him to apologize to you. It's getting late now and we're just looking for a place to stay. Please help me, shopkeeper..."

"Oh, that sounds like human language. What's your name?" the shopkeeper asked Xu Xian at this time.

"Xu Xian, Xu means betrothed, Xian means fairy..." Xu Xian responded.

"Where are you coming from..."
