There are also very exaggerated descriptions in it, such as, "Thousands of years ago, there was a time when monsters were in trouble and they ate the common people as blood food. One day, immortals came to the world and moved mountains to suppress them. This was called the Monster Suppression Mountain."
Even among magicians, a second-grade magician who can fix spiritual pulses and use the power of heaven and earth for his own use cannot possibly move mountains and reclaim seas. Such myth-like stories are mostly just fiction.
Gradually my mind sank in.
Suddenly.
Chen Muruo felt something, raised her head and looked forward, and saw a woman wearing a light-colored fur coat, with a trace of worry remaining between her delicate and beautiful eyebrows. Ruo Xizi came from outside with her heart in hand,
"Why did my sister-in-law come here in the rain and snow?"
Chen Mu put down the book.
Seeing that Chen Mu looked much better today, Mrs. Ning felt less worried, but she still looked worried and said, "Uncle Shicai asked someone to send forty gold pieces, but I don't know where it came from. Will there be any trouble?
"
She knew Chen Mu's situation. She had no other sources except monthly money. After deducting daily expenses, it was almost impossible to save hundreds of taels of silver. Suddenly giving her a full forty gold, it was a shame.
She was suddenly worried, fearing that Chen Mu had done something dangerous.
"It's nothing to worry about."
Chen Mu walked over with a smile, and handed the hand stove in his arms to Ning, and said: "I just confirmed some gadgets from the book, and exchanged some money at Wanzhen Building. Sister-in-law, you can use it."
."
Although Mr. Ning had a dowry and a legacy from his elder brother, he had been taking care of him for more than a year. In addition, his usual situation was not very good and he was not very well-off.
"Why are there so many?"
At this time, Ning also noticed the baggage on Chen Mu's table and the eight gold ingots left in it, and couldn't help but be shocked.
This adds up to two hundred gold!
Even she has rarely seen so much gold and wealth at one time!
"It's just an external thing, it doesn't count. If my sister-in-law needs anything in the future, she can come and talk to me."
Chen Mu spoke in an easy-going manner.
Ning wanted to say something more, but Chen Mu's look made her stunned again. The look in his eyes and the confidence and magnanimity revealed in his words were so familiar.
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable fear. What he was afraid of was that the only remaining person in front of him would suddenly disappear from this world.
"Uncle, don't do anything dangerous. It's good to be safe..."
Chen Muzhi knew what she was thinking of.
Looking at the woman in front of me who is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but is so gentle and courteous, and can be called a beautiful woman, I feel in my heart that the two brothers are blessed but not blessed.
Not to mention the modern era of his previous life, even in the ancient dynasty, there were not many such women, so he didn't say much at the moment and just stepped forward to comfort Ning for a while.
The end.
He sent her back again.
When Chen Mu returned to the study again, Ren Yan was already back.
"Sent it away?"
"Um."
Chen Mu nodded and pointed to the table: "Put away these gold ingots and follow me."
The best wine in Xinghualou should cost about 20 gold. There is still 160 gold here, which is naturally enough. I just brought it all to prevent other situations.
"yes."
Ren Yan carefully put away the gold ingots, and then followed Chen Mu. He looked at the sky and saw that the rain and snow had stopped, but he still took the umbrella with him.
…
The Xinghua Tower is located on the east side of Kyoto, across the Flower Street. It rises more than ten feet from the ground and is seven stories high. All other buildings on the street are more than a head shorter.
In the Xinghua Building, you can almost have an unobstructed view of the Flower Street on the other side.
at this time.
The sky has not yet darkened, and the Flower Street side is still a little deserted, but the area near Xinghua Tower is already very lively, and laughter can be heard from high up there from time to time.
Xinghua downstairs.
Someone tried to enter but was blocked.
The person who stopped people at the door was the steward of Xinghua Tower. He politely raised his hands to the young man in front of him and said: "Young Master, I'm very sorry. Today's wine has been sold out. Please come back tomorrow."
The young man who looked like a young man suddenly became a little angry. When he was about to say something, his companion pulled him away and said with a smile: "Since it is sold out, we will come back tomorrow."
The steward smiled and nodded.
The so-called wine sold out is just a scene talk.
Normally, Xinghua Tower would not block guests, and anyone with money could go in. The young man who was blocked was the son of the Minister of Household Affairs, so he could enter at will. But it was different today.
The people who went up today were almost all young masters from various princes' mansions, as well as some famous talents in Kyoto whom they called to accompany them. Xinghua Tower would prevent ordinary people from entering.
Seeing that the sons of the Minister of Household Affairs were all being stopped, some other people nearby also roughly guessed that the people being entertained in Xinghua Tower today were at least princes and princes.
After looking at each other, they both shook their heads and walked towards other restaurants nearby.
At this time.
Not far away, Chen Mu got off a carriage, looked up at the tallest Xinghua Tower, and then walked straight forward.
"This young master will stay."
When the steward saw Chen Mu approaching, he politely stepped forward to stop him.
Chen Mu knew the situation after just one glance, and said casually: "Xuanguo Mansion, Chen Mu."
The steward was slightly startled. After looking at Chen Mu carefully, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I've met Mr. Mu. Mr. Mu, please come upstairs and sit down."
Naturally, it is impossible for anyone to dare to pretend to be the name of Xuanguo Mansion these days. The young masters of Xuanguo Mansion are naturally qualified to go up, even if they are not the legitimate sons.
But Ren Yan, who was following behind, was not qualified to go up.
"Second Master, the younger one is waiting for you below."
Ren Yan spoke softly.
There are also many followers waiting here nearby.
Chen Mu nodded slightly, then stepped forward and climbed up the tall wooden ladder step by step.
I can sense that there are many existences with qi and blood as pure as the Yang and calm and long breathing. They are located in various areas of Xinghua Tower. They are obviously the guards of Xinghua Tower, and they are at least seventh-level warriors.
You must know that the status of a seventh-grade warrior is not low. He can serve the imperial court and become a military attache. The fact that Xinghua Tower can hire so many shows its strength.
When we reached the top of Xinghua Tower,
My eyes suddenly opened up.
I saw that the whole sky and earth were completely white, and all the buildings seemed to be buried in the snow. Only the tallest Xinghua Tower stood here, seeming to be the center of everything.
After a cursory glance, there were almost a dozen young people sitting here. Most of them were impressed in Chen Mu's memory, and they came from various princes' mansions.
There are also some famous talents in Kyoto and several beautiful women as companions.
Chen Mu was not interested in reciting poems for fun.
I only came to Xinghualou to buy wine.
So Chen Mu walked to a place to sit down, and said to the restaurant servants who were following him: "The best wine is probably the 'Century Apricot Blossom'."
"Yes, it hasn't changed."
"Go get a pot."
"okay."
The servant immediately responded and hurried down.
