Chapter 149: Selling wine for half a day, reading books for half a day
"Don't let him go, do you want to kill him?" Chen Chaofan and Gui Guzi replied in unison.
Chen Shanshan was startled, looked at her father and asked, "Why? There are many of us who have experienced the wilderness. Wouldn't it be troublesome if they met Li Xiuyuan?"
Chen Chaofan glanced at Guiguzi, who sighed and said nothing, just filling the three cups with tea.
Chen Guangming also looked at the two of them stupidly, with a look of confusion on his face.
Chen Chaofan shook his head, looked at the two of them and replied: "If we withdraw the wanted order against Li Xiuyuan now, it would be equivalent to telling the wilderness that Li Xiuyuan is an undercover agent sent by us..."
When Li Shanshan heard this, she couldn't help but reach out and cover her mouth. She finally understood her father's painstaking efforts.
Chen Guangming also understood instantly, looked at Chen Chaofan and Huan Guzi and smiled bitterly: "I was thinking about Li Xiuyuan, but I didn't expect that there is such a powerful relationship."
Guiguzi looked at him, shook his head, and replied softly: "From now on, you completely forget about Li Xiuyuan, and test your archers properly. The talisman arrows he left behind will be enough for you to use for a long time."
When Chen Shanshan heard this, she couldn't help but asked softly: "What's going on? Could it be that Li Xiuyuan learned the Tao of Talisman from the master in the Great Wall while I was away?"
"Go back and let your father tell you slowly about this matter. Don't tell anyone about it after you know it. It will be neither good for you nor for him." Guiguzi shook his head and said quietly.
In his heart, Li Xiuyuan was afraid that he would not return to the Great Wall if he could not find the legendary dragon. He did not belong to the Great Wall, nor did he belong to the wilderness.
He was already very satisfied with the few months the master and apprentice had spent quietly.
After all, in his lifetime, he had already seen the threshold of a Talisman Master. As long as he crossed that threshold, he would naturally have the opportunity to leave this world and gain new life.
Chen Chaofan looked at his daughter's curious look and said with a smile: "You have accumulated a lot of experience in the wilderness this time. Come back and practice hard. After all, the realms of you and Zhao Ping'an are too low."
What he wanted to say was that if the two of them weren't at a very low level, they wouldn't be able to defeat a young master from the City Lord's Mansion.
In fact, Chen Chaofan didn't know that even Ximen Lone Star was only at the first level of Poxu, and was not as powerful as Huangfu Qingmei.
Chen Shanshan took a deep look at Gui Guzi and said seriously: "It seems that Li Xiuyuan's choice to stay and study with the master was a wise decision. I also want to learn Fu Tao in the future."
When Gui Guzi heard this, he gave Chen Chaofan a strange look and murmured: "Do you know that I didn't actually teach Li Xiuyuan the Tao of Talisman, I just showed him the books in this room...
.”
Gui Guzi knew in his heart that without ten or eight years of foundation, it would be difficult to practice Talisman Tao. He did not have the strength to teach a disciple.
Strictly speaking, Li Xiuyuan only respected him and asked him to be his teacher. His real Taoist teacher should be the old Taoist priest who has ascended.
Only a genius like Li Xiuyuan, who has more than ten years of talisman cultivation foundation, can carve out the talisman arrows that he himself cannot carve in less than fifteen days.
Chen Chaofan naturally understood this truth, looked at his daughter and said with a smile: "You are different from him. Your journey is to practice Taoism, which is not an easy task..."
Whether in the past or now, he did not think that his daughter had the talent to practice Talisman, because he himself did not know it. If Talisman was so eager to learn, there would not be a single Talisman Master in the entire Great Wall.
Chen Shanshan didn't know how difficult it was. She just looked at Guiguzi and her father and said softly: "No matter how difficult it is, I want to try it."
Gui Guzi was startled and glanced at Chen Chaofan. Seeing that he didn't respond, he had to smile bitterly and said: "I'm old and you can't take care of your apprentices anymore. All that's left is this room full of books about Talismans. If you want to learn, come and read."
.Strange to say, my disciple didn’t take away a single book, but left them all with the old man...
Chen Chaofan shook his head, looked at his daughter and said: "The Tao of Fu is no better than the martial arts you practiced before. If you don't have talent, even if you spend ten years of hard work, you won't be able to enter it."
Guiguzi smiled and said: "Try it, if you learn it, no one in this room will read it anyway."
He has made his words very clear. If you want to learn, just come and see for yourself, but I will not accept you as my disciple. My only disciple is Li Xiuyuan, whether in the past or in the future.
I don't know how Chen Shanshan, who has a difficult time learning the Tao of Fu, understands the truth. In her opinion, she can learn the Tao of Fu as long as she has Gui Guzi by her side.
Looking at her father, Chen Shanshan clasped fists with Gui Guzi and saluted: "This junior will definitely be able to understand these books clearly."
Guiguzi looked at her and smiled lightly: "That's not necessarily true!"
Even Li Xiuyuan didn't finish reading his room full of books on the day he left, let alone Chen Shanshan who didn't have the eye to break delusion.
…
While Chen Chaofan and Gui Guzi were chatting together, Li Xiuyuan in Ding'an City was already sitting in the shop copying books on runes.
After copying several volumes of scriptures, he suddenly remembered the Fu Dao collection in Guiguzi that he had not finished reading. He thought that a good memory is not as good as a bad writing, so he bought a lot of blank books in the city.
When I was idle and bored, I sat in the shop and wrote down the books I had read.
Ximen Lone Star of the City Lord's Mansion may have been scolded by Huangfu Qingmei when he returned home, and after asking Ximen Tingxue for instructions, he finally decided to let Li Xiuyuan enter the library of the City Lord's Mansion to watch.
The premise is that the secret skills related to martial arts practice are still not open to Li Xiuyuan.
After Li Xiuyuan got the news, he naturally liked it very much. What he originally wanted to see was the human geography and anecdotes about Guan Tianman Wilderness, so he didn't care about Ximen Lone Star's restrictions on him.
As a result, there was a small wooden sign at the door of the drunken wine shop: Our shop is open from 11:10 to 2:00 every day, please bear with me.
From that day on, Li Xiuyuan stood guard outside the library of the City Lord's Mansion before midnight every day. As soon as the hour came, he would dive in, regardless of what kind of books the old guard brought him.
From Chen hour to noon hour, one sitting lasts two hours every day.
The old man in charge of the library was Gongsun Buyu. On the first day, he thought Li Xiuyuan was just visiting the library and leaving. Unexpectedly, he sat there for two hours, and judging from the speed with which he flipped through the books, it was as if he could read ten lines at a glance.
On the first day, Old Man Gongsun selected four volumes of "Historical Events of Ding'an City" for him. Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan finished reading these books in two hours.
And after reading it, he packed the book and brought it back to him.
The next day, the old man selected a few more books for him. Unexpectedly, Li Yeyuan picked out one and said, "Senior Gongsun already read this book yesterday. Please read it and exchange it for another one."
For three days in a row, Gongsun Buyu deliberately gave him a book he had read every day. Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan pointed out each book one by one.
Only then did the old man understand that the little guy in front of him really came to read a book, and he couldn't fool him.
After five days of reading, when Li Xiuyuan was about to leave the library, the old man casually asked about the history of Ding'an City, and he answered without thinking.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan's retreating figure, the old man couldn't help but say: "What a monster!"
Even in the world he knew, there was no young man like him who could read and read well.
This is simply an example of photographic memory?!
And because of Huangfu Qingmei, Ximen Guxing did not bother him during the days when Li Xiuyuan went to the library to read. The two of them only came to inquire about Gongsun Buyu after Li Xiuyuan left.
When it was learned that Li Xiuyuan really only read books on humanities, geography, interesting stories, etc., even Huangfu Qingmei couldn't help but said: "What a monster!"
Whenever Li Xiuyuan wanted to read other books, Huangfu Qingmei's temperament would definitely satisfy his request.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Qingmei couldn't help but look at Ximen Lone Star and cursed: "Look, you are showing a cautious attitude to judge a gentleman's belly, and you will embarrass me."
After finishing, he walked towards the city lord's mansion with his hands behind his back.
She remembered that Li Xiuyuan sent a lot of wine to the city lord's mansion for this matter.
Just when Huangfu Qingmei and Ximen Guxing were walking on the road to the winery, several gangsters from Ding'an City returned to Li Xiuyuan's small winery for the first time.
"I said you, the shopkeeper, have the same wine as you, how dare you sell a spiritual stone and a vat of wine?"
A 28-year-old boy with a sharp chin wearing a black shirt shouted deliberately.
"My brother is right, your store is a black shop, please pay us the protection fee quickly, otherwise you will never want to sell alcohol on this street again!"
Next to the boy with a pointed chin was a fat man, also in his twenties, wearing a green robe and looking like a clown.
"Brother, why are you yelling at him? If he doesn't pay the protection fee, I will destroy his small wine shop."
Behind the two men were three young men in black. Seeing that Li Xiuyuan did not respond, they ran outside the store, picked up the weapons in their hands, and slashed at the signature couplets outside the door.
A golden light flashed with a sound of "Buzz!", and two young men who were slashing with knives screamed strangely, fell back as if they had seen a ghost, and rolled to the street outside the wine shop in an instant.
"Brother, this guy used a trick to smash up this wine shop!" The young man in black who was lying on the ground couldn't get up for a long time, looked at the fat man inside and shouted.
Just when the fat man was about to take action, he felt his right hand being pinched by someone. Before he could recover, he was kicked on the butt, and then with a "Hula!" he lay down on the street like the boy in black before.
Under the trees beside.
Before the fat man could open his mouth to curse, there was another burst of "Hulala!". A group of teenagers who were looking for trouble fell on the ground. For a moment, the ouch sound sounded, and they were like eggplants beaten by frost. They didn't dare to do anything anymore.
Say something.
I saw Ximen Guxing, who was following Huangfu Qingmei, dragging a chair from the wine shop and sitting on the street. He looked at a group of troublemaking teenagers and asked: "Where did you come from, bastards, dare to drink my brother's wine?"
There is a commotion here, open your eyes wide and see who I am!"
"I don't care where you are from. If you dare to hit my boss, I will fight with you."
The boy with the pointed chin got up from the ground and wanted to fight Ximen Lone Star.
There was a sound of "Pah!", and the boy with the pointed chin received a slap on the face. The fat man looked at Ximen Lone Star and said with an apologetic smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Ximen. I am so blind, please forgive me and the little one."
life."
A bunch of little snakes couldn't say anything when they saw the biggest snake in Dingcheng.
After hearing what the fat man said, the boy with the pointed chin was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Ximen Lone Star and apologized.
Ximen Lone Star was silent for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and slapped him twice, and then asked Li Xiuyuan: "Should we lock them up for a few months and let them taste what it's like to be in prison?"
Huangfu Qingmei stood next to the table, took a clean towel and wiped the chair and tabletop before sitting down. Without looking back, he said: "No need to close it, either pay 20 yuan of spiritual stones, or chop them up."
left hand!"
How can the female devil in Fucheng care about these little gangsters? She thought that if she were in Fucheng, I would have killed them with a knife.
The fat man was frightened to death when he heard this. He looked at Ximen Guxing and said, "Don't do anything, let's give you the spirit stones." Without saying anything, he took out twenty spirit stones and handed them over.
Ximen Guxing looked at Li Xiuyuan who was sitting calmly at the counter, and shook his head expressionlessly: "Tell the gangsters in Ding'an City that this store is opened by me, Ximen Guxing, and I will chop anyone who shows up here in the future."
Kill him! Get out!"
A group of teenagers scattered in all directions with exclamations, and instantly disappeared.
Ximen Guxing walked into the store carrying a chair, placed the spirit stone on the counter, and said with emotion: "You are actually afraid of these little gangsters, and with my temper, I chopped them off with a single wave of my knife."
