In the prosperous age of Daguan, no dynasty or generation can match it for thousands of years. It is said that they truly did not close their homes at night and did not pick up lost things on the road. So far, Li Xiu has not found the fundamental reason why Daguan Kingdom was replaced by today's Bule Kingdom. He will never
It has become a huge mystery.
The poison in Li Xiu's body is an element that he has never heard of in the two worlds, let alone come into contact with. It is extremely difficult to deal with. After working all night, there is no improvement at all, but it is getting worse.
!
With no shortage of money, he went to the drug store to buy a few herbs that Li Xiu was short of. Not long after he came back, he went to the shopkeeper to settle the rent and left the inn. Although their current cultivation resources were scarce, they still had more than enough for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
. This time he went out and bought several outfits. The extra items were put into the Qiankun bag, and he changed into a crown. This outfit was exquisite: the crown was inlaid with an aged jadeite worth thousands of gold.
His boots are studded with gems of various colors, all ten fingers are covered with rings, and a necklace as thick as a thumb hangs on his neck, which is actually inlaid with a high-grade spiritual stone. After changing into this outfit, he can tell others just by looking at it.
It can be seen that he has a lot of money and is a wealthy foreigner. To put it harshly, he is a nouveau riche.
Qian Buqian wandered around the streets and discovered that there were no soldiers patrolling the second checkpoint in the northern part of the unhappy country, and there was no tense atmosphere. He wandered to a busy city, where businessmen and travelers were going about as usual, and people were
There was an endless stream of people, and you could often see some women dressed in fancy clothes walking in and out of the streets. Qian Buque frowned, knowing that the war in Beiminghai had already started, but this second border was still acting like this, which was a bit suspicious.
, if Qian Buque was not from Beiminghai, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong, but now he is secretly keeping an eye on it.
When he came to a stone bridge, his ears immediately became quiet. He saw from a distance a group of high-standard buildings on the other side of the river, such as Huating Manor, pavilions, pavilions, high-rise pavilions, etc., all well-proportioned, and there was some vocal music from time to time.
There were occasional changes in the airflow. He observed it for a while and made some calculations in his mind. The people who came in and out of this area seemed to be either rich or noble. There were also many monks living in it. He was not wrong.
place.
The purpose of coming here with no shortage of money is to rent a mansion. Li Xiu is currently seriously injured and has passed away. Going to other places is not as safe as Guyang Pass. As long as you act cautiously, there will be no serious problems. On the contrary, it will be more convenient to collect in the city.
To gather information, etc., they needed a secret place to work together to help Li Xiu heal his injuries and drive away the poison from his body. They also needed some elixirs to assist him. It was too dangerous to stay in an ordinary inn.
Fortunately, Li Ruocheng told him that in any prosperous city, some places for monks to practice will be built. Such places are equipped with formations to isolate the eyes and ears. Although the cost is high, it is still cost-effective, as long as they are not poor cultivators.
Xiu, a monk with a little bit of background, who would care about a small amount of money and millet? Qian Buque was about to walk towards that area, when suddenly a man behind him greeted him from a distance: "Brother, please stay!"
Qian Buque turned around and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
"Brother, don't misunderstand me. I don't mean any harm." The man smiled quickly and said, "I think your brother is handsome and handsome. He looks like a noble person at first sight. I don't know if he is here as a friend or if he wants to practice martial arts with you."
His mansion?"
Qian Buque asked with great interest: "What about meeting friends, what about finding a house to practice?"
When the man saw that he had no shortage of money, he immediately felt that something was wrong and said quickly: "First of all, let me introduce myself. My surname is Zhang, and my last name is "left". It seems that I am from other places. If you are a member, my brother
I can guide you. If you are looking for a house to practice martial arts, I have quite a lot of connections here. I happen to have a good house on hand at the moment. It doesn’t matter if you rent or buy it. The price is fair and children are guaranteed.
No one can be deceived!"
"It turns out you are a bastard." Qian Buque suddenly said: "You must have been secretly paying attention to me for a long time? Come on, come on, I just arrived in Guibao for the first time, and I want to stay here for a while. It can be said that I want to make friends.
, and I need a quiet place to live. You came at the right time. As long as you take care of things for me, I will be rich and wealthy and will benefit from you! However, if you sell junk goods, it will be a waste of my precious time.
Time, take the consequences at your own risk!”
"I will never let you down, little one!" Zhang Zuo, a monk, said happily: "I had a good dream last night. It turns out that I met a noble person when I went out today. Thank you for your support, little one!"
"Easy to say!" Qian Buque puffed out his chest and said: "My surname is Qian, you can just call me Young Master Qian. You are old, you are old. It sounds awkward. Just lead the way. First
Take me to see the house, if you are satisfied, this can be done!"
Along the way, Qian Buque also found out that Zhang Zuo was not a loner. Behind him was a Taoist group called "Huiguang Yuanjie", which was quite famous in Shangbei County and had strong financial resources. However, Qian Buque learned from the other party.
In some cryptic tones, he guessed that Huiguang Yuansuke was not that simple, so Qian Buque did not dare to underestimate him.
The mansion Zhang Zuo mentioned is slightly remote. You have to walk through the high-end area and still need to go west for two miles. There are many similar mansions in this area, all of which are used by monks. They are different from ordinary mansions.
The difference is that there are meditation rooms, practice rooms, sword rooms, etc., as well as many equipment and tools, such as iron sand bags, stone piers weighing hundreds of kilograms, eighteen kinds of weapons, etc. The characteristic of these tools is the word "heavy",
The same goes for the eighteen kinds of weapons. These are all prepared for use by people below the Foundation Establishment stage. Above the Foundation Establishment stage, the focus is on refining gods and transforming into void. These things are useless. To put it bluntly, they are light.
This is an ancient house. According to Zhang Zuo's introduction, it covers an area of about three acres, with three entrances and three exits. Arriving in front of the house, Qian Buque saw that the old couplet carved in front of the door had long been peeled off and the black paint had peeled off.
The first couplet reads: Qi Ji is galloping hard, and our generation gallops with it; the second couplet reads: Kunpeng spreads its wings, and Zijin soars. There is no plaque on the door, but the three characters "Deyang Di" inscribed on the lintel are still carved.
Yes, three points into the wood.
Qian Buque frowned. This house was too old, and he was not very satisfied. However, there was a wave of consciousness in the Milky Way map on his body. It was actually Li Xiu who conveyed the message, indicating that he would buy it no matter what.
Qian Buque was quite surprised by this house. Li Xiu said buying it, not renting it. Is there any doorway in this ancient house that he couldn't see yet?
Zhang Zuo opened the large rusty copper lock on the door knocker and pushed open the heavy wooden door with mottled red paint. One detail was discovered by Qian Buque. The base of the door knocker was actually a fish head, which was extremely rare.
The front yard was very clean, and a quiet and cool air came to his face. After saying "please", Zhang Zuo took Qian Buqi into the yard and looked around, indoors and outdoors, front and back, and left and right.
, showing that Zhang Zuo is a very dedicated and conscientious person, and he is not perfunctory at all. He also answered some of Qian Buque's questions fluently. Qian Buque is secretly still paying attention to what is extraordinary about this ancient house, which is worthy of Li Xiu's message.
But he didn't find anything, so he couldn't help but ask: "Just now I saw that the couplet in front of the house was very extraordinary. I wonder who made it?"
Zhang Zuo, a monk, replied with a smile: "According to legend, it was inscribed by the ancestor of Deyang. The ancestors of Deyang were officials in the capital for three generations, and all of them were Jinban Jinshi. However, the previous dynasty has become a smoke. Now this house has changed hands several times. It is true that the money is small. If it weren't for me,
That friend has been making a living in a distant county for a long time, and he is not willing to leave this house to the younger one."
Qian Buque said: "I see you are so dedicated to your responsibilities, but you don't look like a serious businessman anymore."
"Haha, I have an old mother and a wife and children below. How dare I slack off?" Zhang Zuodao said: "I have been in the industry for more than ten years. The superiors assigned me to come to Guyangguan to make a living. As a deacon, I dare not not fulfill my responsibilities. Mr. Qian will do his best in the future.
If you need anything, such as leasing, pawning, cashing in money, weapons, elixirs, secret manuals, store auctions, etc., just send a message to Huiguang Shop in the east of the city to let you know, and we will do our best to provide comprehensive service!"
"It turns out that Brother Zhang is a deacon, so I am disrespectful and disrespectful!" Qian Buque smiled and said: "Since Brother Zhang is a real person, I will say it bluntly. I cannot say that I like this Deyang House very much. I live in this house deeply.
There is a big age difference with me. In the future, when my friends come to visit me, I am afraid they will laugh at my aging mind and look like an old man, which would be a joke."
When Zhang Zuo heard this, he immediately became anxious and said: "Young Master Qian, what you said is wrong. People who are cultivating immortals practice hard day and night. What is it for? I dare to say it frankly, it is for the word 'diligence', which is ordinary."
Ordinary people have no way to ask questions, so they can only hang out in the market, make some small money, or strive to reach the top, seek fame and wealth, and spend this rest of their lives. The word "diligence" is still based on the land of a wealthy and dharma couple, and both are indispensable. Money
Rarely does he have the appearance of wealth and nobility. He probably doesn’t lack wealth and a good partner, but he only lacks the word “地”.
Qian Buque's heart was moved. They really had no foundation at the moment. It was expedient to choose a house now. Unexpectedly, they were caught by the other party's words. Is it a coincidence? His face remained calm and he said: "Oh? Could it be?
Brother Zhang, can you still tell fortunes?"
Zhang Zuodao: "The little fortune teller knows nothing about it, but we have rich experience in our profession when it comes to looking at people's brows and facial expressions. I just made a bold statement, but I hope you can forgive me!"
"I didn't expect you, a mediocre person, to understand this truth. You really don't look like a serious businessman. Well, I'll just tell you what I said, and I bought this house!" Qian Buque burst out laughing.
.
"As expected, Mr. Qian is very happy. You can stay here first, and I will take care of the property title and other matters immediately. About this time tomorrow, I will come to visit you!" Zhang Zuo said.
Qian Buqiang said: "I'm not worried about this, but such a big house still lacks a lot of old ladies and maids. I shouldn't have to do things like washing clothes, folding quilts, cooking and sweeping the floor by myself."
"These are all small things." Zhang Zuo thought for a moment and said, "It can be done this afternoon!"
"There's no rush. When you get the house deed tomorrow, bring them here together to save trouble!" Qian Buque said, then he took out three middle-grade spiritual stones from the Qiankun bag and handed them to Zhang Zuodong: "This is the deposit.
You write a list and come here tomorrow, everything will be simple, money and goods will be cleared, everyone will be happy!"
Zhang Zuo took the three middle-grade spiritual stones, his eyes lit up, and without any delay, he said goodbye, turned around and left the yard.
One medium-grade spiritual stone is equal to one hundred low-grade spiritual stones, which is equal to ten thousand spiritual coins. But in fact, this is only the official exchange rate. The actual situation is that in the market, it is difficult to exchange thirty thousand spiritual coins for three medium-grade spiritual stones.
In turn, it is much easier to exchange. The higher the level of spiritual stones, the rarer they are and the higher the purity of the spiritual energy they contain. Therefore, spiritual stones are the real hard currency in the world of immortality, while spiritual coins are much different.
Qian Buque never negotiated the price with Zhang Zuo from beginning to end. This kind of thing seems unbelievable to ordinary people, but in the world of immortality, the strong is respected, and any paper agreement is useless. In fact, it is a basic rule.
, the main thing is to see who breaks the rules first, otherwise the fists will speak, even if they kill people, the officials will not be able to say a word "no" in front of them.
