Chapter 648 – The Three of a Kind

　　The main fortress of the Fu family is located in the western part of Yuanwu Country, in a deep mountain called Purple Road Mountain. This mountain is surrounded by purple mist blockade for many years, mortals not only can’t see after entering, and in the mist a little longer, it will be two eyes tears throat swelling and pain, and then long some even will be poisoned to death.

　　Although the local people know that these purple fog of the menace, to which as if the poisonous scorpion dare not approach the slightest, but every year there are still some do not know the bottom of the foreigners mistakenly into which, and thus buried with this. The poisonous deaths of these mortals, for the Fu family, which has long regarded this mountain as the land of the Fu family, is not the slightest bit concerned.

　　Mortal death is also dead, but also how, and can die in the Fu family took great pains to ask several array masters to jointly set up under the “poisonous cloud purple miasma array”, also counted on these mortals not a small fortune.

　　But in recent days, although the purple road mountain is still surrounded by clouds and mist, but this usually rare place, but began to gradually lively, from time to time, there are cultivators frequently appear in the purple mist outside shouting something, and then light up a red light, invitations like things, will be picked up into the fog disappeared.

　　The nearest mortal town to the Purple Road Mountain is a small city called “Taihe”, which is not big, only more than ten miles in size, with a population of only 100,000 people, but all the facilities, such as restaurants and inns, are fully equipped, and there is no shortage of them.

　　”A two” is one of the two inns in Taihe City, Yongqu Inn’s fellow, although only eighteen or nineteen years old, but dry fellow this line, enough three or four years of light. Now his body is a little thin and weak, is half leaning on the side of the inn door, breathless greeting the passers-by to stay in the inn.

　　It’s not that Ah Er is lazy, but because it is now the summer heat, whoever with the hot sun, shouting on the side of the road after a morning pull, no longer have the strength to be loud. So even that to tricky stingy famous Liu shopkeeper, see Ah Er this kind of listless appearance, although the face appears dissatisfied color, but also only low voice muttered a few sentences, on the head bitter playing a pair of yellow wooden abacus, calculating on the table a thick book of accounts.

　　Ah Er raised his head to look at the white and yellow sky, heart vigorously slandered a few sentences, and then lowered his head to murmur a few greetings that he could not hear clearly, appeared to be even more listless.

　　He was thinking, is not to take advantage of the Liu shopkeeper is not paying attention, sneak back to the back of the kitchen, and then drink a few cups of cool water to relieve the heat in the heart, but just at this time, he suddenly felt the sky a dark, and then all around the cool up, which makes the Ah Er under a stunned. He couldn’t help but look up, and was shocked.

　　Only to see in front of his eyes, I do not know when there are three more strange people.

　　A high crown hemp clothes, short and chubby, as if a big soft ball, another bald head and bare feet, bull’s eyes and flesh, height of ten feet, the last one is cloaked in hair and tie, full of fierce face, eyes cold.

　　”Are the three guests staying at the store?” A second so many years of fellows is not for nothing, after a shock, immediately said with a smile on his face. With his years of experience in recognizing people, these three people, although their appearance was vicious and scary, but they were definitely generous customers.

　　”Nonsense, if the three of me don’t stay in a store, why would I need to come here? Next, prepare an upper room for each of the three of us, then prepare a table of good wine and food and send it to the house.” That meatball-like short and fat person, with a small eye glare, casually threw out a large piece of silver, directly smashing it into Er’s arms, impatiently said.

　　”Yes, yes! Three grand masters, please come in, the wine and food will be delivered right away. A Er, quickly go and prepare the best three upper rooms for the three grand masters.” Before waiting for Ah Er to say something, Boss Liu, who had long noticed all this at the door, immediately, like a strong man in his thirties or forties, with a sound of miso, leapt to the doorway at once, snatched the silver away from Ah Er’s arms, and then said with a face full of flattering colors.

　　”Yes, shopkeeper.” Although in his heart, he hated this kind of behavior of Boss Liu, A’Er could only helplessly answer. In his heart, he lamented that the bounty that had come to him had been taken away by this other party again.

　　If not for the fact that he can only do the work of an innkeeper, and there are only two inns in this city, he would not have said anything to this mean ghost to do. After scolding Boss Liu severely in his heart, Ah Er still guided the three of them to a room on the second floor with a smile on his face, and then retreated.

　　”Huh?” As soon as Ah Er left the trio’s side, that feeling of unbearable heat suddenly reappeared, which made him touch the back of his head, a burst of doubt in his heart, but after tilting his head to think about it, he still went downstairs full of puzzlement.

　　A rich table of wine and food was quickly prepared, and A Er helped the other fellows, sending the wine and food into the house.

　　Those three people were sitting on one side of the table, not saying a word.

　　Ah Er glanced at the three people a little strangely, and the cloaked-haired cultivator seemed to have sensed something and suddenly glanced at him coldly.

　　This glance made him cold to the bone, instantly like falling into an ice cave, immediately Ah Er heart horrified hurriedly bowed his head, then somewhat panicked exit the room, until he returned to the door of the inn, his heart is still thumping non-stop, unable to control the slightest bit.

　　And at this time, the three people inside the room finally opened their mouths to talk.

　　”Elder brother Han, why did you use the Soul Stunning Technique on a mortal! Could it be that you don’t see that kid in a favorable light?” As soon as the short and fat man sensed that no one was outside the house, he said at the cloaked man with a hefty smile.

　　”It’s nothing, this youngster is also a person with spiritual roots, although his spiritual root qualification is not too good, but it’s still no problem to cultivate to the third or fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage.” The cloaked cultivator said expressionlessly.

　　”Spiritual roots? That’s a bit of a surprise. But after hearing Brother Han say so, this junior’s qualifications aren’t that great, but it’s surprising that Brother Han can directly tell the spiritual root without having to touch it, it’s really amazingly magical.” A trace of surprise flashed across the short and fat cultivator’s face, and he said with a bit of emotion.

　　”My cultivation isn’t any higher than you two fellow Daoists, I’ve only practiced a related secret art.” The cloaked-haired cultivator swept a glance at the short and fat cultivator and slowly said.

　　”Brother Han is too modest. But with qualifications like Junior’s, there’s not much of a future to speak of even if he enters the Immortal Cultivation World. Even if we are lucky enough to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment realm like you and me, if we don’t have a sect to rely on, we will still be lonely souls and wild ghosts, and we will be bullied by the same level of cultivators! We came to the Purple Road Mountain, not also want to take advantage of that Fu family ancestor birthday, to see if there can be any chance. If we can be spotted by the big families or devil sects that come to celebrate the birthday, then our fortunes will be great. It’s just a pity that loose cultivators like us can only enter the Fu Family Fort on the birthday day, otherwise why bother coming here for half a month.” The short and fat cultivator sighed and said with a bitter smile.

　　”Hmph!” The cloaked cultivator nodded indifferently, seemingly unwilling to say more.

　　Seeing the cloaked-haired cultivator in this manner, the short fat man couldn’t help but look at each other with the big bald man, who also spoke with a big mouth.

　　”Brother Han, the two of my brothers only knew that they were also going to the Fu Family Fort to celebrate their birthday, that’s why they were traveling together. But after traveling together for a few days, I only know that you are also a casual cultivator with extraordinary cultivation, so I don’t know where you used to cultivate, and why the two of us have never heard of your great name.” The big man stared at a pair of bull’s eyes, looking at the cloaked hair cultivator said in a jarred voice.

　　After the big man said this, the short fat man’s eyes flashed, staring at the Han cultivator without blinking.

　　The cloaked hair cultivator did not change his color, just lightly returned, “Mister Han used to be a cultivator of the Yue Country, and only recently moved to the Yuanwu Country, it’s not a strange thing that the two fellow Daoists don’t know about Mister Han.”

　　”Yue Country! Isn’t that what the Ghost Spirit Sect is responsible for? Why doesn’t Brother Han go to the Ghost Spirit Sect to try his luck, why did he come to our Yuanwu Country?” The short and fat cultivator asked with a small blink.

　　”How does Brother Luo know that Mister Han hasn’t been there, it’s just that there’s been no way to get started. Moreover, in the Yue Country, the Ghost Spirit Sect is now a dominant force that doesn’t allow any other sect cultivators to exist at all, which is why I came to Yuanwu Country to try my luck. I didn’t expect that as soon as I arrived here, I heard about the birthday of the Fu Family’s old ancestor, this is a rare opportunity, so naturally, Mister Han won’t let it go easily.” The cloaked-haired cultivator said calmly.

　　”So that’s how it is, it looks like it wasn’t easy for Brother Han either.” Hearing this, the short fat man laughed, and the following no longer asked anything, starting to chat about some rumors of the Immortal Cultivation World.

　　When the table of food and wine was finished, the cloaked cultivator excused himself and left, going to rest in the house next door.

　　As soon as the cloaked cultivator walked out of the door of the house, the short and fat cultivator’s original smiling expression suddenly disappeared, and a hideous color emerged instead. He suddenly touched a charm out of his arms, two hands a pinch, and then raised his hand a shake, and then the charm into a large white light, the whole room covered in it.

　　This talisman was actually a sound barrier!

　　”Brother Luo, is this kid telling the truth, is he really a loose cultivator?” As soon as he saw that the Luo cultivator had finished casting his spell, the bald man hurriedly asked with an impatient look.

　　”A loose cultivator? Definitely not, most likely a disciple of some small sect!” After the short and fat cultivator sneered, he rubbed his flabby chin and said grimly.
