Chapter 440: Lonely Mountain Collection
Baibe Village Market.
"So Maohe Chamber of Commerce has not come to Jiuli to do business for half a year? Did the boss suddenly realize that money is an external possession and change his career to charity?" Bai Yu, who was wearing a knight's costume, frowned.
On the opposite side, a certain traveling businessman from the Central Plains was fooled by the beauty and told him that he would talk about all kinds of things.
"It is rumored that the Maohe Chamber of Commerce has offended a big shot, and they can't stand up with just one sentence. I heard that they have spent the past six months to smoothen their relationship and beg the big shot to let them go. I find it hard to see~"
"Is that so...where can I find them?"
"There is a branch in Gushanji, the first town after leaving Jiuli along the trade road. You can go there and ask."
"Thank you."
Jiuli's White and Black tribes are constantly arguing, and Bai Yu is too lazy to worry about it. They have been fighting for thousands of years and are already familiar with it, so there is no need to get involved. When they are tired, they will stop. It is more important to do business.
Instead of setting out on the road alone, I went to the gathering area where caravans and traveling merchants often stayed. Merchants like to travel in groups, so that they can bluff and prevent being robbed by strong men.
The day was very hot, and only a few businessmen here and there were drowsy.
I took out the glutinous rice cakes from the package as a snack and sat under the tree to wait slowly. Walking alone can easily attract attention and expose your whereabouts. It is easier to hide if you mix with the caravan crowd.
After looking at the number of people around me, it seemed like I might not be able to leave today.
After waiting for three consecutive days, we finally gathered enough people to set off on the road. More than 200 people set off along the ancient mountain road. The packhorses carried Jiuli specialties back to the Central Plains for resale. On the road, we occasionally met caravans and acquaintances going to Jiuli.
Greeting each other and saying peace, men and women are tired of their travels.
Among the crowd was a young and thin female ranger who was also covered in dust and hurried on in a muffled voice among several other female rangers.
There are few people walking on the ancient road, and passers-by clap their hands and sing folk songs.
When camping at night, acquaintances gathered together to light a fire to boil water and cook. Bai Yu, like the other heroines, went out to collect firewood and build a stove to light a fire. They made a pot of lean meat porridge to share with the heroines. They restrained all their momentum and pretended to be ordinary rangers.
Drunk caravans from other caravans came over and teased him with alcohol, so he was knocked unconscious and thrown into the grass to feed the mosquitoes.
Take advantage of the opportunity to get to know others and inquire about the Maohe Chamber of Commerce.
It's basically the same thing. I offended someone and was suppressed and ostracized. I'm probably trying to find ways to clear the way or prepare to change my career. There is indeed a branch of the Maohe Chamber of Commerce in Gushanji.
"Maohe Chamber of Commerce, you must hold on..."
If the boss of the chamber of commerce knew that a dragon was blessing him, he would definitely be overjoyed.
at the same time.
In another caravan that had gone a few days ahead, Lu Gui and the others were just drinking and saying nothing. What could they say? Could it be that the three of them were captured by monsters and had to spend the whole day weeding and sweeping the courtyard? Once this matter spreads in the Central Plains,
Not only will he be embarrassed, but he will also be scorned by others. In the world of high moral integrity, is it possible that he must die to prove his ambition?
Perhaps Lu Gui gained the most. He learned many martial arts and martial arts in Baifu. The snake monsters would occasionally send some gifts as thanks. In addition to those frogs, mice, wild eggs, and a few elixirs and fruits, he was captured by the monsters and miraculously survived.
Improved cultivation.
I don’t know whether I should be happy or depressed about this...
Returning to the human world, Lu Gui suddenly discovered that he didn't like to interact with people, and preferred to stay in the Southern Wilderness as a teacher of monsters, as he would have a better future in the White Mansion.
"Brothers, what are your plans for the future?" Lu Gui asked.
The two smiled bitterly. It was difficult for ordinary cultivators to get along. They had poor qualifications, no background, and no resources. They finally gritted their teeth and decided to come to the Southern Wilderness and work hard to exchange for resources. They narrowly escaped death and became captives of monsters. It was not easy to practice.
The man who had been seriously injured and nearly died sighed.
"Forget it, so what if we struggle hard, if we can't live long and run around until we die, we might as well start a family while we're young, leave a lasting legacy, and spend the rest of our lives as a rich man. It's actually quite good."
Another man named Zhang nodded.
"I also have this plan. I will go back to be a noble man and enjoy my life, marry several women and have children, hehe~"
"Hahaha~"
The three of them laughed, laughed and then fell silent.
"Brother Lu, what about you, do you want to continue on or leave the spiritual world to marry a wife and have children for the rest of your life? It's hard for monks like us to get ahead. It's better to live seventy years of leisurely life than eighty years of exhaustion. Brother Lu
What do you think?"
"I……"
Lu Gui hesitated.
What the two companions in life and death said is right. It is difficult for casual practitioners without background, qualifications and resources to go far on the road of spiritual practice. Instead of working hard and working hard to live for eighty years, it is better to enjoy the wealth and wealth of the world for seventy years.
On one side, there are darling wives and beautiful concubines, and on the other side, they go through all kinds of hardships and live out their lives in loneliness. But what if there is a chance to improve?
"Let's talk about it later. Let's go home first."
The other two people no longer persuade each other. Everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force others to do something you don't want to do.
"Come, have a drink and celebrate our return alive!"
"Drink~!"
The fire was raging, illuminating the greasy and rough faces of several men. They drank heavily and laughed loudly. They used alcohol to celebrate that they were still alive. They laughed and cried again. They shouted to go back and marry more wives and have children. They drank and ate meat every day...
Vicissitudes of life.
…
Gushan Collection.
The sun is scorching and the sky is blue.
Bai Yu lifted up his straw hat and looked at the flag with the three characters "Gushanji" written on it. His clothes were dusty and dusty, and his ponytail had not been washed for a long time. His face was dirty. He didn't use any spells on the way and pretended to be an ordinary ranger.
After many days, they finally arrived at their destination, and the caravans dispersed. The heroines said goodbye and found a place to rest.
Compared with the Central Plains, Gushanji has a rough and heroic feel. There are not many elegant people in long robes and big sleeves. There are only some knights and burly men in costumes, coming and going in full swing.
To the south of Gushanji, you can take a boat at Dajiang Wharf. To the east, there is an official road leading to the south of the Yangtze River, which is an important transportation route.
You can see many Jiuli Mountain residents in the town, people coming and going.
Bai Yu was carrying a package on his back, and an umbrella was tied to the package. On his back was a horizontal knife wrapped in a strip of cloth.
I tightened my bag on my shoulders and asked someone about the location of the Maohe Chamber of Commerce. I quickly found an abandoned and prosperous store. The words "deserted and prosperous" are difficult to put together. But at this moment, the location of the Maohe Chamber of Commerce store is both deserted and prosperous. There is a door at the door.
Guarded by four strong men with arms thicker than their legs, the store was in a mess, as if it had been robbed by thieves. No one came near, and the door was deserted. The store was abandoned, but the location was very good and crowded with pedestrians.
Come to the door and look at the plaque to confirm that it is the Maohe Chamber of Commerce.
"Um...can you let me in?"
A certain Jiao asked with an extremely polite smile, trying not to cause trouble or reveal his whereabouts.
The four strong men covered in flesh were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed. They were fascinated by the beauty of a certain dragon, and in the free land between the Southern Wasteland and the Central Plains, strength was the criterion for doing things.
"The beauty belongs to the Maohe Chamber of Commerce? That's troublesome. The Maohe Chamber of Commerce owes us a lot of money and we can't pay it back, so why should we ask this girl to come with us?"
Reaching out to grab someone on the street...
Bang!
The strong man stretched out his hand and was hit by the oil-paper umbrella, his cheek was crooked, his saliva and teeth flew away, and then he kicked another person in the chest. The strong man flew into the rouge shop opposite, causing a burst of screams and was violently beaten by the heroine. The paper umbrella swept left and right, and the other two
The person was knocked unconscious on the spot.
Chapter completed!
