Volume 1: Abandoned Land Chapter 69: Baolik, Gu Fangzhai
"Senior, is there anything different here?"
Seeing nothing unusual, Kong Laosan was too lazy to think about it and simply asked directly.
"Don't ask too many questions yet, just do as the ancestor said and go forward and ask if the shopkeeper is there!"
Gui Yunzi's tone was filled with unprecedented ecstasy, so much so that his tone was somewhat distorted.
Hearing this, Kong Laosan's eyes moved, and he glanced at the three words "Bao Li Ke" on the slanted flag. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he didn't say anything more. He took two steps forward and just said
When he was about to speak, he saw the young man wearing a white scarf and a white skirt turned his head, glanced at Kong Laosan, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'm here early, the buns have just been cooked, and they are still there."
It’ll take a while!”
"Haha, I'm not here to eat steamed buns. Is your shopkeeper here?"
Kong Laosan chuckled, and at the same time he spoke, the power of his spiritual thoughts burst out of his body, and he went towards the other party to explore. After a moment, his spiritual thoughts returned, and the eyes looking at the young man no longer had the previous curiosity. Obviously, the other party
Just an ordinary person.
"You want to find our shopkeeper? Why are you looking for that bitter old guy? If you really want to find him, come back tonight!"
It seemed that he was very resentful towards his shopkeeper. When he heard that Kong Laosan wanted to find his shopkeeper, his originally good-looking face suddenly turned angry, and his words were very mean.
Before Kong Laosan spoke again, the boy started complaining like a betrayed shrew, "I am the only one who manages such a big shop. The wages are pitiful and I have to be detained from time to time."
Half of it, if that old guy hadn't been kind to me, I would have given up my business a long time ago."
At the end, he seemed to have thought of something again, and his tone gradually softened, leaving only a series of lamentations.
"Will your shopkeeper come tonight?"
"You just come here at night, that old guy will come over every night to do the accounting, even if you lose a penny, it won't matter."
Amid the boy's complaints, Kong Laosan found a hotel nearby and stayed.
In the room, Kong Laosan brewed a pot of tea, took a sip, and said softly, "Senior, if it's convenient, why don't you first tell me what's so special about the guest in Baoli? And, what's the matter with Gu Fang Zhai?"
What kind of existence does it have? What is the connection between the two?"
He asked the doubts in his heart in one breath, and after finishing speaking, he started drinking by himself.
"Hehe, my ancestor never thought that there would be an existence like Bao Li Ke in this deserted corner! Do you know the real source of the demonic calamity that broke out 30,000 years ago?"
Guiyunzi said quietly, but suddenly his voice changed and he asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"Senior, please tell me!"
"Not many people know about this matter. Our ancestors heard about it accidentally. As for whether it is true or not, there is no way to verify it. When the creatures from the demon world broke through the world and came, they only wanted to hunt down a defector who stole the forbidden book of the demon world.
It’s just a person.”
"The Forbidden Code of the Demon Realm?!"
Kong Laosan chewed for a long time, frowned slightly, and said again after a moment, "Is it possible that this Baoli guest is involved in the devil world?"
"Haha, after the demonic tribulation, Bao Li Ke sprung up all over the Xiling Demon Continent. Even the Monster Clan has Bao Li Ke. If there is no connection between the two, no one will
I believe it. On the surface, this Baolike shop is just an ordinary diners shop, but secretly it is engaged in buying and selling information. As for Gufangzhai"
Speaking of this, Kong Laosan could clearly detect the ups and downs in Gui Yunzi's tone, "My ancestor once said that if you need a physical body in those lands of the Immortal Dynasty, you can just buy it directly from Gu Fang Zhai. Tong Bao Li Ke
Similarly, Gufangzhai is just an ordinary rice dumpling restaurant on the surface, but secretly it is mainly engaged in the trading of living bodies. Regardless of human race or demon race, and no matter what level of body, as long as the spirit stone is enough, even if you want a body
They can also be satisfied with the physical body of the infant and old monster!"
Gui Yunzi said with great excitement that he had been trapped in a ghost weapon for hundreds of years and now had the opportunity to get his body and see the light of day again. I am afraid only Gui Yunzi could understand this feeling.
"To be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Bao Li Ke, it shouldn't be easy for Gu Fang Zhai, right? What is the connection between the two?"
"There are rumors that Gu Fangzhai was inherited from the ghost world, but it is also impossible to verify it. It is said that it existed before the demonic tribulation. When the demonic tribulation broke out, Gufangzhai secretly collected the corpses of many creatures in the demonic world. From then on, the two sides became enemies. After the demonic tribulation,
, Baoli Kes are all over Xiling, and usually wherever there is Gufangzhai, there must be Baoli Kes. The two dislike each other, and even occasionally conflicts will break out."
"Oh, the boy is here to congratulate the senior first. If Gu Fangzhai really exists in Daqin, even if the junior spends all his wealth, he will help the senior buy a suitable body. But before that, the senior's original
Promises must be fulfilled."
Kong Laosan thought for a long time, but he said what he was thinking without any concealment. Hearing this, Gui Yunzi laughed and said, "Of course, if there really is Gu Fangzhai here, and there happens to be a suitable body,
The ancestor promised that it would definitely work. Not only the cultivation method of "Unleakable True Body", but also the other secret techniques passed down from Luochen Palace back then, the ancestor can teach you all at the same time!"
At the beginning of the next day, at the beginning of Wu Shi, Kong Laosan came to the shop again.
There were not many guests, only two or three tables, steamed buns and porridge, and a plate of pickles made by oneself, which was enough to satisfy one's needs.
Kong Laosan took a glance and found that there was only one boy running around in the whole shop. As for the skinny old man in brocade, he really responded to the words "hands-off shopkeeper".
The old god was snuggling up on the bamboo couch, holding a thin account book in one hand and a waiting pen in the other, constantly making circles.
"Hey, you're here. Look, that old guy is the shopkeeper. If you want to find him, just do it yourself!"
Seeing Kong Laosan, the boy was slightly startled and said hello, but when he said the word "old guy", he had already lowered his voice very low, but the resentment in his tone still fell into Kong Laosan's ears very clearly.
middle.
The old man in front of me, who looked sixty or seventy years old, was wearing a brocade purple shirt, with a nondescript jade hairpin in his head, lying lazily, with a pot of fragrant tea and two plates of pastries placed on the wooden table beside him.
No matter how he probed, the old man in front of him was just an ordinary person. However, Kong Laosan did not take it lightly. Under Gui Yunzi’s urging, Kong Laosan came closer in two steps and said, “May I ask the store owner what’s in this bag?”
Qiankun? How can the sun and moon be contained in the shop?"
After hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up, and he suddenly woke up. His eyes fell directly on Kong Laosan. At the same time, a majestic power of spiritual thought suddenly came.
Strong, but not much weaker than those Jindan elders in Qingling Sect.
"I didn't expect that in this remote corner of the southeast, someone would recognize the signboard of Bao Li Ke. It's really rare. The world in the bag is unpredictable, and the sun and moon in the shop are endless. Come with me!"
The old man said that he had already stood up and walked towards the second floor.
Hearing this, Kong Laosan narrowed his eyes and glanced behind him, and found that the diners in the shop seemed not to have heard the conversation between the two of them just now. They were still busy with other things, but they were focused on something at the moment.
There was something strange in my heart about this scene.
"What are you doing here, kid? Why don't you hurry up and follow me!"
Just when Kong Laosan was secretly thinking about what was wrong, Gui Yunzi's voice came out, mixed with an undisguised eagerness.
Seeing this, Kong Laosan had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart and follow the old man's footsteps to the second floor.
Compared with the spacious and chaotic first floor, the second floor is much more refined, but it seems a bit crowded.
"Bao Li is a good trader. Are you here to buy news or sell news?"
In the room, there was a faint scent of tea. As soon as he sat down, the old man couldn't wait to speak.
"Senior, can you please explain in detail, how to buy news? How to sell news?"
Kong Laosan ignored Gui Yunzi who kept shouting in the Zi Mansion and kept to himself.
Hearing this, the old man slapped his forehead and said, "Haha, no one has come to the door for hundreds of years. I have almost forgotten the rules here. Buying and selling news is naturally between you and me. If the price is right, you can trade."
Nodding, Kong Laosan no longer hesitated and said directly, "Senior, is there any Gufangzhai in Daqin?"
"This news is five hundred spirit stones!"
When Kong Laosan asked, the old man's eyes moved and he quoted a price.
