Chapter 15: Practicing Magical Weapons on the Cloud Viewing Platform
On the way back, Zhao Ran's legs were fluttering. He felt extremely happy and his steps were extremely relaxed. He even came up with the idea of leaving Wujiyuan. He thought that he might as well run away and become a rich man down the mountain. It was also a good choice.
With a huge fortune of 3,200 taels, why do you continue to clean toilets here?
But this thought only passed through his mind for a moment, and was immediately thrown out of his mind. Zhao Ran's building a house in Dian was tantamount to selling himself to the Taoist sect for ten years. He estimated that if he left the mountain, the Taoist sect would not have any influence on him.
What an unfavorable move, but with no connections, no power, and carrying such a huge sum of money, like a helpless baby hanging a bright night pearl, I am afraid that not only can I not keep this wealth, but my life is extremely worrying.
Furthermore, desire is a bottomless pit, and Zhao Ran absolutely does not want his time-travel life to stop here. Only by enduring the temporary misery now can he hope to become rich in the future. What's more, Zhao Ran, who is known as "mediocre in qualifications", because of the thin rope,
Now that he has "sightedness and ears", he thinks that his qualifications may have changed, and he may also have the opportunity to try out what it's like to practice cultivation.
That day, Chu Yangcheng carried Zhao Ran through the mountains in western Sichuan. The deep valleys and ravines were like strolling in a leisurely courtyard, stepping on the treetops and paddling across the water. The graceful figure had already been deeply imprinted in his mind. If he, Zhao Ran,
If you can practice like this, even if it is ten thousand taels of gold and silver, what does it mean?
Back in the west room, Jiao Tan sat on the edge of the bed and sighed, while Zhou Huai buried his head deeply in the quilt, his whole body motionless. Tonight, not only was Guan Er defeated, the entire private room and the clean room suffered a heavy blow.
At least 30% of the silver coins Zhao Ran won came from the laymen in these two fire houses.
Both Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai have folded in all the subsidies given by their families in the past two years. Private housing and clean housing are both unprofitable businesses. It can be expected that in at least two years, their lives will inevitably be difficult.
Zhao Ran had a baggage on his shoulder. Inside the baggage was more than two hundred taels of scattered silver. He couldn't hide this at all, so he simply showed it openly.
Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai were immediately stunned.
"How can there be so much?" Jiao Tan pointed to the pile of silver, somewhat in disbelief. For children from wealthy families like Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai, more than two hundred taels of silver in itself is not surprising.
Surprisingly, Zhao Ran only had a measly two taels of capital. To risk a hundred dollars at once, even if it happened in a gambling game, was definitely an amazing achievement.
Zhao Ranxin said that you two brothers haven't seen the three thousand taels of silver notes in my arms, so she smiled and said: "At the beginning, I also bet on Guan Er, but I won first and then lost, and almost lost everything. Later I
Seeing that the second-hand wind was not right, I transferred my bets to those two, and I won."
After hearing this, Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai lamented even more, complaining that they were so stuck at that time and didn't know how to change. But they didn't think deeply about it. Zhao Ran said this lightly, but he was really in the game.
, who can do it easily? On the contrary, it is often those who are half-hearted, suspicious, and immediately change their betting direction at the first sign of trouble and lose more miserably.
Zhao Ran picked out twenty taels of silver, threw ten taels each to Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai, and said, "Thank you Brother Jiao and Brother Zhou for your generous support. Without you, I wouldn't have the money to win so much."
In the past, ten taels of silver would have been nothing to Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai, but it was different now. The two of them took the taels of silver with grateful expressions on their faces. Jiao Tan grabbed a few silver taels and waved firmly.
He waved his hand and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Zhao. With these funds, Jiao can go out and fight again!"
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Ran was promoted from "Brother Zhao" to "Brother Zhao".
During the cleaning that night, Zhao Ran was in a happy mood and worked harder and harder. Jiao Tan kept chattering, but Zhou Huai remained unhappy.
Jiao Tan's nagging mainly focused on one point, that is, Guan Er's luck. He kept talking about Guan Er's luck in the year since he entered the temple, saying that he had never failed at the card table, especially in critical situations.
At that time, the cards he picked up were all incredibly good. It was always hard for Jiao Tan to believe how someone as lucky as Guan Er could lose.
Speaking of Guan Er's luck, Zhou Huai, who has always said little, was full of envy and sighs. He couldn't help but add: "Guan Er is very lucky. When I heard that he was born, the fortune teller said that he had excellent horoscopes."
, a lifetime of good fortune and noble help. Not to mention what happened before entering the mountain gate, we don’t know about it. Just say that in Wujiyuan, less than a month after entering the house, there were new people entering the yard, and he didn’t clean up many
After returning home, I went to clean the room. I heard from Zhou Yutou that last year was the most people entering Wuji courtyard in decades. "
Jiao Tan nodded and said: "Last year there was a huge flood in Chengdu Prefecture. Xuanyuan Guan ordered that all palaces and courtyards allocate manpower to provide disaster relief. Guan Er's team happened to encounter a landslide. He was the only one among the twelve who survived. Listen.
It was said that the surrounding area was buried by rocks and soil, but there was not even a single piece of gravel where he stood..."
Zhao Ran was curious and immediately asked: "Our Taoist sect is still responsible for disaster relief?"
Jiao Tan pouted: "How new! Taoism is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. If the government can't control it, we have to control it. If the government can control it, we have to supervise and manage it. Otherwise, why would all living beings believe in it?"
Guan Er's defeat in the third game of the "Three Heroes Game" had its own subsequent impact among the gambling Taoist laymen, but for Wujiyuan, it was still about doing what he should do. For Zhao Ran, apart from a night of violence
The most direct impact of being rich is that when eating in the dining hall, you don't have to face the bullying of "Xingba". Although this "bullying" is not obvious, it is still a good thing to eat more meat.
During breakfast and dinner, Guan Er did not come to the dining hall. The laymen at the dining room in the clean room and the private room were all unhappy, but on the other side of the kitchen room and water room, it seemed quite lively. The firework laymen in those two rooms
They were very high-spirited and arrogant when talking and laughing. In addition to causing dissatisfaction among the fire workers in the clean room and the private room, they also made the other heads of rooms very resentful. After all, because of Guan Er's good luck, Guan Er's good luck has spread throughout Wuji.
He is well-known in the courtyard, and most people in the dining hall placed bets on him last night. Few losers will be happy when the winner is so flamboyant in front of the losers.
Zhao Ran ignored the matter and took advantage of the day to have a good sleep and regain his energy. Then he took advantage of the sunset to sneak out to study the magical effects of the thin rope.
The day before yesterday, when he was in the back garden, he felt constrained and always worried about being bumped into. Later, he did bump into Jin and Zhang. Therefore, he went to the trough room during the day and spent two ounces of money on the trough.
The pyrotechnical layman in the house asked for a long rope and an iron fork - these two things were too expensive, and Zhao Ran was so distressed that he could only grit his back molars when he gave them the money.
The wall of the back garden was less than a foot high, but it was definitely not something that Zhao Ran could climb over with his bare hands. He tied the iron fork to a long rope and found a corner of the wall where no one could easily notice it.
, threw the iron fork head over the wall, and then tried to retract it, once and twice without success. After several attempts, the iron fork head finally got stuck somewhere on the outer wall. After tugging, it was quite strong.
Zhao Ran pulled the rope up to the top of the wall, loosened the iron fork, turned it around and stuck it on a corner of the courtyard wall, and slowly slid down the wall along the long rope.
The cool night breeze caressed his face, Zhao Ran walked along the winding mountain path to the height of the back mountain. After walking for half an hour, he climbed to a high platform. This high platform was about an acre in size, with one side leaning against the towering mountain wall.
, on the other side is an abyss of tens of feet. This is a wonderful place to enjoy the scenery in the back mountain of Wujiyuan, called Guanyuntai.
This is where Zhao Ran found out through inquiring in the past two days, and it is also the first time he has come here. The sun has set at the end of the mountains in the west, and the red fire clouds are refracted from the horizon, spreading the afterglow to the vast valley.
Standing here and looking at the distant mountains, the scenery is endless and refreshing.
Zhao Ran admired this magnificent scenery for a moment. It was not until night fell and the stars began to shine that he calmed down and took out the string.
"go!"
"disease!"
"Hurry as the law dictates!"
"Fuck your mother..."
…
"receive!"
"Baby come back!"
"Let's go!"
"Let's go, uncle..."
…
"Big! Big! Big, big, big!"
"Little! Little! Little, little, little!"
"Baby shows up!"
"day……"
…
"Give me strength!"
"strength!"
"strength……"
"Ouch!"
…
Not long after, Zhao Ran was already covered in white hair and sweat. He failed to discover the magical effect of the thin rope, but he felt very angry.
While I was still pondering, I suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming from behind me: "Haha, haha! You are such a bastard... Haha, haha!"
