Chapter 686: Some allusions

Osmanthus Island finally returned to Old Dragon City, and slowly docked on the island outside the city. The return trip this time was smooth sailing, which made people relieved.

A group of three people left the Guimai courtyard. Wei Jin carried his sword behind him, Mi Yu wore his sword and tied a wine gourd around his waist. Wei Wenlong, empty-handed, disembarked from the boat to Laolong City, where he met Laolong on the island. There is a sea road between the cities. Under the instructions of Master Gui, Mrs. Gui, the sweet-scented osmanthus girl, Jin Su, saw off the three distinguished guests and took them to another ferry in Laolong City. The ferry will be replaced at that time, and they will walk along the road. The Dragon Road goes to the central part of Aquarius Continent.

Between the two ferries at sea and land in Laolongcheng is the hundred-mile long street belonging to the Sun family's ancestral business.

The chief minister of the Fan family, who was also in charge of Osmanthus Island, wanted to call for a carriage, but Wei Jin declined, saying that he could just walk.

Jinsu admired the young swordsman from the bottom of his heart for the young swordsman at the Fairy Terrace of Fengxue Temple. He first asked Jianbei Ju Luzhou Tianjun for his thanks, then rushed to the Sword Qi Great Wall to kill demons, and now he returns. .

Wei Jianxian is well deserved as the youngest Upper Five Realm deity in the history of Aquarius Continent. Jinsu can conclude that when the Wei and Jin Dynasties returned from their trip to the Jianqi Great Wall, they would definitely gain great momentum for Fengxue Temple once they returned to Fengxue Temple.

According to some gossip that was circulated in the early years, I don’t know whether it is true or not, but it is widely spread that it is said that the Wei and Jin Dynasties were able to cultivate with grass on the top of the Sword Qi Great Wall, devote themselves to raising swords, and develop swords alone. A share of treatment, and an old god who had the best swordsmanship in the Great Sword Qi Wall became a neighbor, with two thatched houses. It was rumored that Wei Jin would often be taught swordsmanship by the old man.

This has won a lot of talk for the entire Aquarius Continent Qi Practitioners. Every time they talk about this matter, they are all honored. Nowadays, whenever monks from Yizhou talk about sword cultivation, they cannot avoid the Wei and Jin Dynasties of Fengxue Temple.

Our Aquarius Continent is the smallest among the nine continents in the vast world, but our fellow countrymen Wei and Jin are not the same as outstanding beings on the Great Wall of Sword Qi where swordsmen and immortals are like clouds?

Some immortal masters even began to think that once Qi Zhen, the emperor of the Shengaozong, ascended to the throne, or went into seclusion for a long time and stopped caring about secular affairs, then the next leader of the Yizhou Immortal Family would most likely be the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Once the Wei and Jin Dynasties reached the Immortal Realm and became the first Great Sword Immortal in the history of Aquarius Continent, heaven and earth would work together. When the luck of swordsmanship in a continent was condensed, the achievements of the great avenue would be even more limitless.

As for the two friends from the Wei and Jin Dynasties whose origins were unknown, Jin Su could only treat them with courtesy. It was said that they were both enlightened men who were only one step away from becoming a golden elixir immortal. In Guimai Small Courtyard, Jinsu occasionally accompanied Mrs. Gui to make tea and discuss Taoism with the three of them. They also discovered some subtle differences. The guest named Wei was more reserved and not good at talking, but he was very interested in the customs and customs of Aquarius Island. , it was rare for them to take the initiative to ask questions. They all asked about the business direction and money-making methods of several major families in Old Dragon City. They seemed to be descendants of businessmen.

On the other hand, that handsome man is like Mr. Mi who banishes immortals in the book, and seems to be less concerned about everything.

On both sides of the road, monks on the mountain created a scenic place similar to Lotus Pool., so the roads are bustling, crowded with people, and there are many tourists.

Mi Yu walked among them, and in a trance, he walked into the human world from the sky and banished the immortals.

Even though Jin Su already had his heart set on something, and was even more infatuated with Sun Jiashu, he had to admit that, just talking about his appearance, Mr. Mi was truly a god among gods.

There were many women on the road with bright eyes. They couldn't help but take a few more glances at Miyu. Unknowingly, they saw less of the beautiful scenery of Hehuapu and more of that handsome young man.

Where are the gods? I burn pills next to the well and test the ink near the pond. There are lotus flowers for ten miles, the breeze is gentle and the water is clear, and the bright moon is in the sky.

Mi Yu murmured these two sentences from the book he saw on the fan of Yan's shop. The scholars in the world are really good in literary talent.

And this vast world, if we don’t talk about the people and just talk about the scenery, it is indeed much better than the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

We haven’t even arrived at Old Dragon City yet, but this scene already happened.

Walking on the road at this moment, Wei Wenlong sighed in his heart: "This is the hometown of Master Yin Guan and Wei Jianxian."

No need to be reminded by Wei Jin that the two words Yin Guan are called , are both taboos, not big or small, and should not be mentioned all the time. Even if Wei Wenlong couldn't help mentioning it, he could only express it from his heart.

Wei and Jin laughed and said: "If we hadn't traveled far away to other continents, it would be difficult to talk about our hometown in such a large continent."

Not only did Wei and Jin not care much about Aquarius Island, , in fact, even for Fengxue Temple, there is no sense of belonging.

Jinsu pointed to the sky above Old Dragon City and introduced to the two outsiders: "In the past, there was a sea of ​​clouds in our Old Dragon City. It was rumored that it was a relic of an ancient immortal who was at least a semi-immortal soldier. You can see it from a bird's eye view when you take the Yun Shang Ferry, but you can't see it when you are in the city. But for some reason, the sea of ​​clouds suddenly disappeared a few years ago, and now it has become a strange story on the mountain. Many Qi practitioners from the mountain came here to confirm the authenticity of the news. "

Wei Wenlong subconsciously began to calculate the valuation of a semi-immortal weapon in Aquarius Continent.

Mi Yu looked calm and smiled with Wei Jin from the bottom of his heart: "Aquarius Island, do you have so many people who are full and holding on?"

Wei Jin said to Mi Yu The impression was not bad at all, and he and the Great Sword Immortal Mi Hu and Yue Qing were both close friends. Therefore, when Wei Jin got along with Mi Yu, he usually kept his words to himself and replied: "Such words cannot be said by anyone on the Great Wall of Sword Qi." A swordsman can tell you that you, Miyu, are the only one who is not qualified to act eccentrically, get drunk in Yunxia, ​​pretend to be a fairy, fool a foreign female cultivator, and have a lot of love debts."

Miyu. He laughed loudly and said: "You deserve to be beaten by Wei Jianxian. How many swordsmen are there in Baopingzhou now? The majestic swordsman is still so young, but he doesn't have many confidants. I really don't know if it is Bao Pingzhou." The fairies in Pingzhou have bad eyesight. It's because you Wei and Jin are not enlightened. Is it possible that every time they walk up and down the mountain, they put a note on their foreheads with the words "do not love women" written on it? Wei Jianxian, don't be shy, we are all family members, quickly take out the note and let Brother Wei and I open our eyes., I have learned a lot..."

Wei Jin said with a smile: "There is really no such note, which makes Mi Jianxian disappointed. ”

Jinsu only knew that the three of them were talking from the bottom of their hearts, but she didn’t know what they were talking about, so happy.

A carriage stopped in the middle of the road, and after stopping at Osmanthus Island , a young man with a high crown walked down, wearing an "Old Dragon Buyu" jade pendant

It was Fu Nanhua, the young lord of Laolong City.

After the Wei and Jin group arrived, they lowered their heads and clasped their fists and said, "Junior Fu Nanhua, pay homage to Wei Jianxian.

Wei Jin nodded and said, "I won't be a guest in the city anymore. I have to hurry on my way." ”

If it weren’t for Osmanthus Island Jinsu standing next to him, Wei Jin might not have spoken a word. In the rivers and lakes, Wei Jin could talk happily with those martial arts fools, but only He never showed disdain to the people on the mountain and didn't bother to get close to him.

Fu Nanhua stepped out of the way and said with a smile: "I will never bother Wei Jianxian. It is actually very rude for the junior to come here because of his reputation. "

After walking out of the sea road, the group of people rode the wind to the next ferry.

Mi Yu clicked his tongue and said: "Wei Jin, you are so proud in Aquarius Island. ?

Wei Jin smiled and said, "Swearing?" ”

When we arrived at the ferry, I don’t know who was the first to recognize the sword immortal of Fengxue Temple. There was a lot of noise for a while. When Wei and Jin landed, pedestrians made way for the sword immortal.

In Aquarius Continent, where there are not many sword cultivators, an Earth Immortal Sword Cultivator can already be hailed as a "Sword Immortal of such and such", let alone Wei Jin, a veritable Sword Immortal of the Upper Fifth Realm. ?

So the pedestrians in the distance were pointing, and those closer to Wei Jin were taking the initiative to salute.

Mi Yu said again: "Those who scold you, It's a bit much.

Wei Jin said helplessly: "Mi Yu, please stop. Otherwise, after boarding the ferry, we can find a secluded landscape on the way, leave the boat, and have a swordsmanship competition?" "

Mi Yu said with a smile: "I'm not stupid. I'm also in the Jade Pu realm. I can only beat Shao Jianxian of Chunbanzhai, but I can't beat Wei Jianxian of Fengxue Temple. "

Wei Wenlong was even more helpless. You two senior swordsmen, let's fight each other, no matter what my master does.

The three of them said goodbye to Jin Su and boarded a ferry.< /p>

Unlike the reclusive Wei and Jin Dynasties, Mi Yu is still reluctant to stay in the house just like taking a long trip on Osmanthus Island. Now he likes to often overlook the mountains and rivers from the bow of the boat, and laughs with Wei Wenlong beside him: " It turns out that in addition to islands, there are so many green mountains in the vast world. ”

During the heavy snow season, the ferry passed by a mountain sect.

High cliffs, numerous buildings, and fairy houses and pavilions, all lined up in rows. If you lean on the railing and look far away, you will see strange pines and cypresses, and a few touches of green. In the snow, Zhijiao raises his eyes, how many private people can have this fairyland scenery?

On the opposite cliff, there is a man with a green shirt and a long beard standing on the cliff, and there is also an immortal. People, playing chess and watching chess, don’t know who is the host and who is the guest.

Looking down at this unique experience in a foreign land.The beauty of the world, the sword fairy Miyu, seems to be crying but not crying, and seems to be smiling but not smiling.

Wei Jin rarely walked out of the house, came to Mi Yu, and said: "You said it yourself, there are not many sword immortals in Aquarius Continent, you can travel around, go After drinking the wine, we will just catch the ferry."

Mi Yu has returned to his normal expression, "Forget it, there are no fairy cultivators, so there is no point in going there."

Wei Jin nodded and said: "Yunxia Mountain, the Fox Kingdom of the Xu family in Qingfeng City, and the Changchun Palace in the north of the Great Li capital, there are many female nuns."

Mi Yu smiled and scolded: "I am a romantic, and Not a pervert!"

Wei Wenlong, who had been with the young hidden official for a long time, suddenly said in a low voice: "This matter is doubtful."

Wei Jin smiled knowingly.

Mi Yu gave a thumbs up and was in a good mood, "That's right... He's a bit more elegant than our Lord Yin Guan!"

Mi Yu suddenly asked: "'Grow oranges? ', what is the allusion? Is there a story to tell?"

Wei Jin was confused and shook his head: "I don't know."

Mi Yu shook his head, "Brother Wei, you are not good at learning. Ah."

Wei Jin didn't take it seriously and returned to the house to continue warming up his sword spirit.

Wei Wenlong went to the ferry to buy a landscape mansion.

Mi Yu was lying alone on the railing, and his mood became even better when he thought that he would soon be able to go to Luopo Mountain to eat and wait to die, and that there would be the legendary Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water to see in the future.

I just don’t know why Lord Yin Guan keeps mentioning the matter of Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water, and every time he mentions it to himself, his smile is extraordinarily...sincere.

————

This is Li Huai’s first cross-continental trip. Previously, he boarded the ferry at Niujiao Mountain. The heroic puppet dragged the ferry across the sea of ​​clouds, speeding like lightning. , every time there is a heavy rain, lightning and thunder, those puppets of heroic spirits refined by Pima Sect are like wearing golden armor, shining in front of the ferry as if the sun and moon are pulling the boat forward. Li Huai never gets tired of watching it, because there is no viewing area in his residence. Li Huai often went to the bow of the boat to enjoy the scenery on the scenic platform, and was surprised every time.

Pei Qian lived next door and didn’t like to go out. She would at most lie by the window and watch the strange and bizarre visions in the sky. Li Huai persuaded her several times to go to the bow of the ship together. Pei Qian always said that she I have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, and I have never seen anything strange and weird. Instead, she solemnly reminded Li Huai to be careful when going out alone, and don't take the initiative to cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble. If there is an accident, she will help go to Manager Su to inform him.

Li Huai looked at the mature and prudent Captain Pei, walking on poles and practicing boxing in a slightly narrow room while speaking in an old-fashioned Jianghu language. He was greatly admired in his heart, so he said it sincerely. He said some kind words, but Pei Qian, who was about to start copying books, rewarded him with the word "Go".

The Pima Sect has a close relationship with Luopo Mountain. Nascent Soul monk Du Wensi and Pang Lanxi, the direct descendant of the Ancestral Hall who has high hopes, both serve as registered worshipers of Luopo Mountain. However, this matter has not been exaggerated. Moreover, every time the ferry goes back and forth, there is a large amount of money exchanged between the ancestral halls of both sides.After all, the entire line of Skull Beach and Chunlu Pond’s wealth now covers almost the entire southeastern part of Beiju Luzhou. The numerous businesses on the top of Xianjia Mountain, large and small, are actually secretly related to Luopo Mountain, which sits on half of the mountain. Luolu Mountain is the ferry crossing of Niujiao Mountain. Every time the Pima Zong cross-continental ferry makes a trip to Guanyuan and Laolongcheng, once a year, nearly 10% of the profit will be shared

(This chapter is not finished yet. Please turn the page)

The account fell into the money bag of Luopo Mountain. This is a very measured amount of the account. It requires the efforts of Pima Sect, Chunlu Pu, and the allies of both sides. , the vassal vassal belongs to the mountain, accounting for 80% in total, and Wei Bo, the king of Beiyue Mountain, gets the last 10% of the profit.

So Luolu Mountain and the Pima Sect located at the southernmost tip of Luzhou in Beiju can be said to have a friendship between gentlemen, but also have real interests tied up. If the friendship can be recorded in the ledger, and both parties have If you can make money, as the business grows, and if you can not turn against each other, then the friendship will be really strong.

The ferry steward, an old man named Su, dedicated two high-quality houses to entertain the two distinguished guests. However, when the girl named Pei asked about the price, she refused to live there. , said that it would be enough to replace it with two ordinary cabins, and asked the old steward if it would be troublesome to temporarily change the cabins. Not only would the superior cabin be empty, but the ferry would also lose two cabins.

The old steward was used to doing business, and he had already developed a pair of sharp eyes. Seeing that she was sincere and not polite, he said bluntly that the mountain immortal master who came to Aquarius Island to do business was a long way away. A nice house to live in, all for the magic money. Especially the children of the Immortal family near the capital of Dali now love to travel to Beiju Luzhou. Each one is more generous than the other, so they don't have to worry about the high-priced houses being left unoccupied. But Pima Sect really doesn't care whether they earn this kind of money or not.

Then the girl added some words. The senior really understood his kindness, but the price difference was too big. If they occupied two superior rooms, it would cost the Pima Sect two Xiaoshu. As for money, she went out to endure hardship, not to enjoy happiness. If the master found out, she would definitely be punished. Therefore, both emotionally and rationally, it is time to move.

The old man smiled and gave the girl a "Xiaoshu" wooden sign, saying that with this sign, she could buy a Xiaoshu coin at the Xianjia Shop on the ferry.

The old man did not give Pei Qian a chance to refuse, relying on his old age and betraying him. If he said that he would not accept it, it would hurt his feelings. The girl said that the elder did not dare to refuse the gift, took the wooden sign with both hands, and talked to the Pima sect. The old Yuanying, who was of high seniority, bowed and thanked him.

The ferry steward’s surname is Su, and his last name is Xi. He is an old Yuanying of the Pima Sect. The shopkeeper of Xuhenfang is surnamed Huang, and his given name is Shenyou. The two parties are old friends who have been neighbors for nearly three hundred years. .

In fact, not long after Pei Qian and Li Huai boarded the ship, the two friends, who had nothing to do, chatted about their two children. Old Yuan Ying said that the girl was younger than the previous one named Chen Lingjun. , but is much more experienced, but I don’t know how Pei Qian will use the wooden ferry sign worth a Xiaoshu coin.

Shopkeeper Huang was overjoyed as soon as he boarded theOn the contrary, it is rare for a guest to earn a small sum of money from the ferry. The key is to earn another favor. By the way, I said a few nice words to Chen Lingjun. I thought the guy was pretty good. Once I got to know him well, chatting with him would be quite fun.

Besides chatting, shopkeeper Huang had another serious question, asking his old friend if Luo Luo Shan looked down on his small business, otherwise why he said he wanted to open a store in Niujiao Mountain, but Luo Luo Shan clearly had a lot of vacancies. Shop, but said that we would discuss the matter later. He only promised verbally that he would leave a shop with the best location for himself? Manager Su smiled and comforted his friend. Zhu Lian, the young mountain master who was not at the top of the mountain and took care of the abbot's affairs, did not let Xuhenfang open a branch in Niujiao Mountain for whatever reason. They must have had their own considerations, but it was definitely not the case. I look down on you Shopkeeper Huang and Xuhenfang. Luoposhan still has some family traditions. He is definitely not a follower of the crowd. That Zhu Lian is impeccable in his dealings with others, and he is not a short-sighted person with shallow eye sockets.

That’s what my friend said, and everyone knows the truth. But being rejected, shopkeeper Huang was inevitably depressed. He just said that when we met Chen Pingan in Luoposhan, his family became more and more prosperous, and the young man had not been on the mountain for a long time. What will happen in the future? Will he become a It's hard to say that those fairy hills suddenly forget about themselves when they become rich.

From Chunlupu in Luzhou, Beiju, to Laolongcheng in Aquarius Continent, on this invisible route of great wealth, in addition to the earliest four-party alliances between Pima Sect, Chunlupu, Piyun Mountain and Luopo Mountain gradually began to be joined by the Fan family and the Sun family from Old Dragon City. In addition, there was a young man named Dong Shuijing, and then three generals with the surname of Zhuguo in Dali, the younger brother of Dadu, the prisoner of Dadu. Guan Yiran, one of the officials, Cao Duzao of Dali Longzhou, and Yuan Junxian all only took up a very small share of the mountain business in their own names for the time being.

In fact, Piyun Mountain could have made more profits, but Wei Dashan Junyun gave it to Luo Po Mountain.

Shopkeeper Huang didn’t really think about how to make money in Niujiao Mountain. More importantly, he believed in the young man’s character and was willing to take the initiative to form a good relationship with the prosperous Luo Luoshan. The Taoist cultivators in Luzhou, Beiju, are very aristocratic and have a good reputation. Over the years, Shopkeeper Huang has often boasted to friends from all walks of life that he has a unique insight. He is the first person in Beiju Luzhou to realize that the young mountain master is definitely not a common person. This is what the Zhuquan Sect Master wants. Not as good as yourself. So the more this happened, the more disappointed the old shopkeeper became. Immortal money that is not brought with you in life and will not be taken with you in death is just like a passer-by borrowing money from others. For a golden elixir with no hope of success, earning more or less is a trivial matter, and you may not be able to take advantage of others. Is there anything bigger than drinking and bragging? No.

One day, the two friends started drinking again. A woman from Xuhenfang who was in charge of specific business affairs came over to talk to the two old friends. After Su Xi listened, she joked: "Those two children are Are you not going to stop me? Is Xuhenfang so evil in making money? It’s a shame that I only gave you a Xiaoshu wooden sign. Otherwise, after this battle, Xuhenfang will never be the same again.I want to open a store in Niujiaoshan again. ”

Shopkeeper Huang said helplessly: “I wasn’t afraid of causing trouble, so I didn’t even mention this to Lingjiao.” The main reason is that the workshop happened to be cleaning up the inventory during the Jiazi period, and a large pile of old items were unearthed. Many of them were actually stupid accounts. Old friends still paid off the money, so they used items to pay debts. Many of them were only worth fifty pieces of snow. Xuhenfang accepted the items that cost money as if they were a piece of summer money. "

The woman in charge of Xuhenfang, who was nicknamed "Lingjiao" by the shopkeeper, immediately understood the pros and cons, and already had a remedy. Just when she was about to speak, the highly respected Mr. Su But he smiled and said: "You don't have to be deliberate, it's not a bad idea. I'll let you shopkeeper Huang, as an elder, claim to be a close friend of Chen Ping'an for many years, and give out cute things worth a small sum of money, otherwise the little girl named Pei Qian will do it." Won't charge it. "

Speaking of this, the old man and the water chestnut asked casually: "I bought a lot of junk, is there any possibility of missing something? "

The woman smiled bitterly and shook her head, "There is a new guy in our shop who earns money and doesn't recognize any of his relatives. He dares to sell anything and charge any price. The few palm masters in our workshop have good eyesight, and the two children picked the cheapest ones, so they probably bought them. When they got off the boat, one small summer coin would save ten snow coins. All difficult. By then our Xuhenfang will probably be scolded as a black shop. "

Shopkeeper Huang looked strange.

The woman smiled, knowing the relationship between the two elders, she was not afraid of leaking the secret, "The new guy is also praised by our shopkeeper Huang. A good seedling has come and I need to cultivate it well. ”

It turned out that Pei Qian was in high spirits today. Holding the Xiaoshu wooden sign, he took Li Huai to Xuhenfang. Li Huai was even more cheerful and said that it was a coincidence. He turned over the almanac and found that it was a good day for business. Let me do it, let me do it!

The two of them first went to see the pair of magic swords that the master had mentioned. "Ming" are two swords left behind by ancient Taoist monks. They are seriously damaged. It would cost too much to repair them as before. When the master took the ferry, they were one of the treasures of the shop. However, they are still unable to do so now. Sell ​​it.

There are so many objects in Xuhenfang today that it dazzles Pei, but the prices are not cheap. As expected, money is not money on the Xianjia ferry.

Li Huai made it clear that he only bought cheap ones. Pei Qian, who was still hesitant at first, simply gave the wooden sign to Li Huai and let him try his luck.

Li Huai. He clasped his hands together, raised them high, rubbed his palms against each other, and muttered, "The God of Wealth is coming to my house today..." Pei Qian felt more at ease.

A fairy rides on a celadon pen and washes it with ten pieces of snow.

It looks very fairy-like. The skill of making porcelain is very good at first glance. It’s not bad from Li Huai’s hometown. Where? How could he not know the quality of the porcelain body? From the corner of his eye, Li Huai noticed Pei Qian sneering, worried that she thought he was careless with his money, and tapped it with his fingers.The sound was crisp and sweet. I looked, knocked, and listened. I used my eyes, hands, and ears at the same time. I nodded frequently, indicating that the object was neither bad nor bad. The young man on the side also nodded slightly, indicating that this buyer should not be judged by his appearance. , the vision is not bad or bad.

An old dilapidated scroll, unfolded, shows a fox worshiping the moon. Five snowflakes cost money. In this Xuhenfang, such cheap items are rare!

The young clerk said with emotion that if nothing happened to the guest officer, he should have missed it again. Look at this painting that has been covered in dust for a long time. Although it has no aura at all, the artist's craftsmanship and the fact that every detail is revealed and the roots and hairs of the fox charm are clearly visible are already worth five cents of snow.

A red sandalwood study box inlaid with filigree, comes with a pair of small and exquisite three-color lions. Fifteen snow coins. Pei Qian rarely feels that this transaction is not a loss. The study box is similar to a treasure box. After opening, the size of the box is determined by quantity. Pei Qian has always had a keen eye for such objects.

A bundle of yellow paper talismans tied firmly with two red ropes and knotted, one foot high. There are too many talismans. They have been folded for many years and have become uneven. Only the first and last two can see the talismans. Rank. According to the guy at Xuhenfang, as long as half of the hundreds of talismans inside have the grade of two talismans, you will definitely make a profit without losing money. This was a poor ferryman in the early years. He was short of money and had to pawn it to the ferry at a low price. He promised to redeem it within a hundred years. However, it has been many years. Not long ago, Xuhenfang cleaned up its inventory. These The talisman was finally able to see the light of day again. According to Master Zhangyan's estimate, the red thread of unknown material alone and the toughness of the rope were worth a piece of snow.

In the end, Xuhenfang asked for thirty pieces of snow money, and gave Li Huai an attitude that he thought was very murderous. He bargained for twenty-nine pieces, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.

Pei Qian was beside Li Huai, watching with cold eyes, looking at Li Huai who was holding a large bundle of talismans. He was very happy, and the clerk of Xuhenfang was even more happy when he got a commission from selling the talismans.

Li Huai casually carried the red rope of the thick bundle of talismans and softly asked Pei Qian for credit: "There is a story as soon as I heard it. I made a profit."

Pei Qian He said angrily: "Stories? Those who sell dog-skin plasters in the market all have several ancestral stories! If you are willing to listen, I can make up ten or eight for you on the spot."

Li Huai had a look on his face. stunned.

Pei Qian pulled Li Huai aside and said, "Li Huai, are you okay? Don't buy indiscriminately. There is a whole Xiaoshu coin, and there are only a few snow coins left. I heard Master I have said that the price of many mountain objects bought in the south can be doubled when they are put to the north of Dadu, Luzhou, Beiju. If the seller is found correctly, the price may double."

Li Huai was stunned and thought. I don’t think there’s ever a time when I don’t buy random things.

I always only look at the convenience and not the price. Anyway, I buy it if I can afford it. If I can’t afford it, I will throw it away. After I got it, I never thought about exchanging it for money.

Li Huai felt a little guilty and promised, "I will definitely take a closer look next!"

I was so angry that Pei Qian slapped Li Huai on the head, "You didn't take a good look before you dared to fall in love?!"

Li Huai cried sadly, "Then let's return these pieces to Xuhenfang ?”

Pei Qian is a notoriously stingy person who is petty and likes to hold grudges. Li Huai cannot afford to lose money, so Li Huai says it’s better to leave it like that today. I never thought that Pei Qian said angrily, are you stupid? Today we come to Xuhenfang to buy and sell, relying on our own eyesight and real skills to make money. If we lose money, if the people in Xuhenfang don't know that we are in Luoluoshan The identity is easy to tell. If you know it, you can spend the remaining snow money next time. Believe it or not, we will definitely make a profit by then? But what the two of us earn from these bastards are a few dozen snow coins, but what we lose is my master and Luo Luo Shan’s incense money. Li Huai, you have to weigh it yourself.

So Pei Qian held down Li Huai's head and asked him to spend one.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Xiao Shu Qian.

After that, Pei Qian kept crossing his chest with his hands and looking at Li Huai with a stern face.

Li Huai trembled and bought a few more items.

Back at Pei Qian's house, Li Huai carefully placed all the large and small objects on the table. Pei Qian spread out a brand new account book and slapped the table, "Li Huai! Look at it with big eyes." It’s clear. I will keep a clear record of the scraps you bought at what price. If we have them all when we return home, you can do it yourself.”

Pei Qian squinted.

Li Huai immediately put down his hand and silently told himself that he must not show his timidity, otherwise if he buys a real thing, he will be regarded as fake by Pei Qian. He has just left for this long trip, so he always He couldn't let Pei Qian wear small shoes all the time, so Li Huai sat on a chair, breathed gently at the celadon brush washer, rubbed it carefully, and secretly said to the Chengcha Immortal on top of the brush washer, "Brother, brother." , strive for some success, you must strive for success, you don’t have to make money, but you must not lose money. Once Pei Qian loses money, your uncle Li Huai will be doomed. We are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away, and we have been on the same boat for hundreds of years. The rest of the brothers and sisters, let us all talk about loyalty in the world, so that we can get together and part ways easily, start well and end well, and be harmonious to make money...

Li Huai raised his pen high to wash, The inscription on the bottom is very strange. Instead of engraved with the name of the country and the year, it is engraved with an ancient seal poem, "I took a chariot to receive the gods and immortals, and I once stayed by the three stars."

Li Huai said: "I have never seen this poem in a book."

Pei Qian said while keeping accounts: "How many books have you read?"

p>

Li Huai was speechless.

Pei Qian put down his pen and said clearly: "If you make a loss in business, it's not all your fault. I have to take half of it."

Li Huai was relieved.

Pei Qian thought for a while, took the bundle of talismans, and began to try to untie the knotted red rope. Unexpectedly, it was still a bit difficult. It took her a long time to finally untie it. Open the knot, put aside the red rope that is more than ten feet long, and tell me about the talisman.The material of the urns was familiar to Pei Qian. She first took out the first and last two yellow paper talismans. They were the most common talisman papers. They were not the yellow seal paper used by the immortal master to carry the talisman into the mountains and rivers. However, the talismans were written by a Qi practitioner, so they were really authentic. , otherwise just this large bundle of yellow seal paper, without mentioning the complete talisman that gave birth to a little aura of talisman courage, would be already very valuable. Even a few small summer coins may not be able to get it, so it would be their turn to buy it.

As a result, after Pei Qian pulled out two talismans from the beginning to the end, he wiped away the bundle of talismans at once, and then she began to be stunned.

A thunderbolt hit Li Huai on the head, which was a great grievance for him to die before he left the army.

A large bundle of talismans. Except for the four talismans previously, the rest are all worthless blank talisman papers.

Pei Qian muttered in a low voice and sure enough, business on the mountain is actually the same virtue as business in the streets and alleys of the capital city of Nanyuan in the past.

Pei Qian rubbed his face vigorously with both hands for a moment, and finally lamented: "Forget it, we agreed to keep half of it each, and all these thirty-five snow coins will be credited to my account."

Pei Qian opened the account book again, and although he picked up the pen to write, Pei Qian kept turning his head and staring at Li Huai.

Li Huai asked cautiously: "Go to Xuhenfang to curse in the street?"

Pei Qian gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't force people to buy or sell, so I cursed!"< /p>

Pei Qian closed the account book, leaned back on the chair, shook the chair with him, and said to himself: "There is no such thing as pie in the sky."

Pei Qian When Qian talked about pie, Li Huai felt a little sad, because he missed his own dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage. The dumplings with watercress and shepherd's purse were delicious even without meat.

Li Huai felt even more sad when he thought that he had already been saddled with a huge debt of half a small sum of money before he even arrived in Luzhou, Beiju.

Pei Qian said: "Okay, okay, that Xiaoshu coin fell from the sky. These items look okay, otherwise I wouldn't let you buy them. As per the old rules, Divided equally."

A celadon brush wash with an immortal riding on a tree, a picture of a fox worshiping the moon, an old sandalwood study box with a pair of three-color lions, and a guqin imitation of the setting sun. The paperweight contains an immortal holding a moon-drunken inkstone, and a green-glazed bowl with dragon patterns on the ground filled with dark engraved beads.

To be honest, it is not easy to buy so many "Xianjia utensils" with only a small sum of money in the Xianjia store on a cross-continental ferry.

Pei Qian was lying on the table, looking at the guqin paperweight, and Li Huai was looking at the picture of a fox worshiping the moon. The two of them raised their heads and looked at each other, and then grinned together.

These may not be valuable items on the table, of course not to mention the bundle of talisman papers that Pei Qian had thrown into the bookcase. They actually like them all.

At the Skull Beach Ferry, before disembarking, Pei Qian took Li Huai to say goodbye to Manager Su and Shopkeeper Huang respectively.

Shopkeeper Huang smiled and took out a parting gift and said goodbye. He and your master have been friends for many years, so you should accept it. What happened to Pei Qian?She didn't ask for it, she just said that when Xuhenfang opened at Niujiaoshan Ferry, she would do her best to give a small opening gift, and then shamelessly ask Grandpa Huang for a big red envelope. Shopkeeper Huang smiled from ear to ear and agreed.

Not only that, Pei Qian also took out the gifts prepared by Sister Nuanshu, which were exquisite bookmarks made from green bamboo leaves planted by Wei Shanjun in Piyun Mountain, and gave them to the two people on the ferry. An old timer.

There are some poems written on the bamboo leaves, either written by the big white goose or the old cook. Pei Qian thinks that together, they are not as beautiful as the master's calligraphy, so let's make do with it.

Fortunately, the two old men accepted it with a smile. They were exactly the same, they both glanced at it and then looked at it a few more times. Pei Qian was originally worried about accepting it in person and then turning around and throwing it away. It seems that he doesn't know much anymore.

When going up mountains and down rivers, she must first worship the gods and burn incense. The master never told Pei Qian, but she followed the master and traveled so far across the rivers and lakes, so she didn’t need to be taught.

So Pei Qian did not go to Mural City first, but took Li Huai directly to Muyi Mountain.

The person who entertains the guests is Wei Yusong, the God of Wealth from Pima Sect.

Zhu Quan happened to be on the mountain this time, so he came to meet Chen Pingan, the founding disciple.

Also carrying a bamboo box and holding a hiking pole, the kid in green clothes named Chen Lingjun from before looked at him with a sneaky look. Although he was not annoying, he was not too lovable either.

But the dark and thin girl in front of him was very pleasing to Zhu Quan's eyes.

Be it a woman or a little girl, what can you do if you look so good-looking?

This girl named Pei Qian is very good.

Zhu Quan asked Pei Qian and Li Huai about their travel routes in detail.

According to the girl, it is roughly similar to Chen Lingjun’s early stage, starting from the Skeleton Beach and heading southeast. After arriving at Chunlu Pond at the mouth of Dadu, it is completely different. Tiao Jidu went upstream, but Pei Qian and the others would go directly north, and then not go to the northernmost point. There would be a change of route to the left in the middle. As for the next journey to Chunlu Garden, Pei Qian and Li Huai would not take the Xianjia ferry, but would only walk on foot. But the two of them still had to visit the Skeleton Beach area near Muyi Mountain.

Li Huai has no objection to these. If he has an objection, is it useful? The helmsman is Pei Qian, not him.

Beijing Luzhou Yayan, because of Zhou Mili's relationship, Pei Qian has already been very skilled.

Compared with other continents, Beiju Luzhou's elegant language is widely used in the whole continent, so it saves foreigners a lot of worry and effort in terms of speech. However, some customs and customs in Beiju Luzhou are very special. Just don’t let outsiders worry.

There are also the Mandarin languages ​​of several small countries around Dumb Lake, and Pei Qian has long been proficient in them.

You really need to study hard, Pei Qian has always been very fast.

Just following the master, she was asked to do everything more slowly, copying books more slowly, walking more slowly, and growing up more slowly.

It is rare for Zhu Quan to be so patient and listen toThe words of a little girl.

Even when discussing matters in her family's ancestral hall, she never saw her sect master being so attentive. He mostly sat cross-legged on a chair, holding his chin with one hand, yawning constantly, regardless of whether he understood or not, and whether he heard or not. Hearing it, everyone nodded from time to time. Yan Su, the patriarch of the mountain, Wei Yusong, the God of Wealth of the Pima Sect, and Du Wensi, members of the Ancestral Hall of the Pima Sect, are all used to this. A few years ago, she concluded a long-term deal with the Aquarius Island line. Zhuquan's confidence skyrocketed. She probably finally discovered that she was a genius in business. Therefore, every time there was a meeting in the Patriarch Hall, she changed her bad habits and became more motivated. She insisted on getting involved in specific details, but was "suppressed" by Yan Su and Wei Yusong together, especially Wei Yusong, who directly told the sect master to stop gesticulating over there, and then drove her to Qinglu Town in Guixi Valley. .

Before going down the mountain, Zhu Quan must give Pei Qian a meeting gift.

Same as on the ferry, Pei's money was still confiscated and he had his own reasonable wording.

If you are with Master, as long as Master does not say anything, you will accept the gift. But when the master is not around, Pei Qian feels that he can't be so casual.

Zhu Quan accepted Pei Qian as his goddaughter and went directly to the Skeleton Beach with Yufeng without giving Pei Qian a chance to refuse.

Pei Qian and Li Huai were left looking at each other.

The two went down the mountain to the mural city at the foot of the mountain.

After the blessings of the eight pictures of goddesses were gone, all that was left were the lifeless, painted portraits, so the Mural City became a gathering place for large and small baggage houses. , becoming more and more mixed.

Here, Pei Qian still remembered a little allusion dictated by his master. Back then, a woman bumped into him, but she didn’t hit anyone, so she had to fall by herself. I bought an "authentic Liuxia bottle" worth three Xiaoshu coins.

It’s just that Pei Qian failed to meet the woman this time.

In fact, Pei Qian had been pretending to be stupid when she heard the master talk about this method. At that time, she was too embarrassed to tell the master that she had done it when she was a child, and it was better than that stupid woman. Much more experienced. But it can’t be alone, it has to be with a partner, the older one has to be dressed like a dog, the clothes are clean, and it looks like someone from a well-off family, the younger one has to be in the middle of winter, the simplest thing is that his hands are covered with frostbite Blood, broken objects, big ones, grabbing passers-by to prevent them from leaving, small ones, squatting on the ground immediately, reaching out and pulling randomly, if there is blood here, there is blood, then wipe it on your face, move quickly, Then he screamed at the top of his lungs, heart-wrenchingly, as if his parents were dead. In this way, just looking at it can scare people. Then he yelled that this was an ancestral item that he went to the pawn shop with his father to sell at a low price. It was life-saving money for his mother's medical treatment. Then he cried and kowtowed. If he was smarter, he could kowtow in the snow and his face would be stained with blood. Don’t worry if it’s less. Just wipe your face with the back of your hands. It’s more effective if you come and go.

If it wasn’t winter, he would have to suffer a little. Pei Qian had suffered once and would never agree to do that again.I have lost my job and have gone elsewhere to make a living. The reason is simple. At that time, she really couldn't bear the pain of having her hand cut off by broken porcelain. Besides, if it’s not winter, there won’t be any snow. Doesn’t it hurt to kowtow?

There was a master who was in charge of the old pickling business. After Pei Qian ran away, he was still feeling regretful because he met Pei Qian one time and said that she was actually a good material. , it’s more real when she cries, like she’s mourning, her eyes are so big, and after she starts crying, her face is covered with fake tears, mixed with the blood from frostbite on the back of her hands, and it seems like all that’s left of her little face is Those big eyes can make people unbearable.

But the last time Pei Qian met the master who lamely beat many of Pei Qian's peers was in a back alley in the capital city of Nanyuan State. It was winter, and he didn't know he was beating him. Dead, or frozen to death, or maybe beaten to death and then frozen to death, who knows. Anyway, there wasn't even a single copper coin left on him. Pei Qian had secretly searched him before patrolling the capital to collect the body, and she knew it. I remember back then I cursed that I was a ghost and a poor ghost.

Li Huai asked: "What are you thinking about?"

Pei Qian shook his head and smiled: "I'm not thinking about anything."

I just missed Master.

I think of the master who made Pei Qian what he is today.
