"So this old man created a fortune, really printed my "Journey to the West" into a volume, and then sold it everywhere?"
Yi Shanjin was sitting on the bed, with the picturesque Bai Zirou sitting in front of him.
He just heard Bai Zirou talk about the scenes he saw in Dongshi during the day, and he couldn't help but express his feelings:
"Isn't this Heavenly Immortal Tower specially set up for God's chosen ones? Why does it smell so bad? What does he need money for when he created the old man?"
While Bai Zirou was holding Yi Shanjing's arm, she was currently helping Yi Shanjing to organize the spiritual energy in her body and nourish the sea of Qi through Bai Zirou's golden elixir.
She smiled and said:
"Who said this practitioner doesn't need money?
Others may be fine. In the deep mountains, they eat wild fruits and drink dew. If they practice fasting, they can go several months without eating or drinking.
But Old Man Creation can only be considered a half-monk. A shop as big as his has contacts with all the major immortal sects.
Traveling around, buying information, and using heavenly materials and earthly treasures for practice, what do you don’t need to spend money on?
There are naturally more places for him to ask for money."
Yishan nodded after hearing this.
In this world, except for those monks who really escape into the mountains, other people with supernatural powers cannot be completely disconnected from the secular world.
Otherwise, there would be no need to set up an imperial prison to control those with supernatural powers.
It is because those with supernatural powers are closely connected with this world, so they naturally need money everywhere.
All major immortal sects also have outer disciples who specialize in making money and making purchases.
"I just didn't expect that this old man of fortune would actually sell my book at such an expensive price. It's too shameful."
Yi Shanjin shook his head and said this.
His book, a volume of five chapters, sells for ten taels.
At this price, it is definitely not affordable for ordinary families.
But those who can read are not ordinary families.
It was so expensive that Yishan was a little surprised.
But after asking around a bit, I found out.
It turns out that these books are sold in Daqi.
The prices are expensive!
Mainly paper and printing costs, where are they?
The government offices can only publish dozens of books a year, and the quantity of each book is not large.
After all, although movable type printing is used now, it still requires a lot of manual work to typesetting.
Printing also requires manual operations.
Labor is the most expensive cost.
To be honest, if I hadn't embarked on the path of cultivating immortality now.
In Chang'an, Daqi, it seems pretty good to find a way to make some money.
Yishan couldn't help but think like this.
"Okay, disciple, put on your clothes."
Bai Zirou said that and walked off the bed.
Yishan responded and started to put on his clothes.
Regulating the spiritual veins and sea of qi was originally Xueha Baixue's job.
But if it involves the golden elixir, then it is Bai Zirou's business.
Yi Shanjin got dressed and saw Bai Zirou sitting behind the screen.
As he tied his belt, he asked:
"Master, won't Senior Hua come today?"
"Maybe something has delayed it, maybe, just wait a little longer."
After Bai Zirou finished speaking, he seemed to have remembered something and said to Yi Shanjin:
"Do you want to listen to some music, disciple?"
Yishan was stunned for a moment.
Huh? Why did you suddenly mention this? Could it be that Master wants to play the piano for me?
Then he saw Bai Zirou and took out a guzheng from the side. He didn't know where he got it.
But the guzheng looks simple in shape.
Yishan doesn't know anything about this, but if you sit down and enjoy it, it won't be a big problem.
"It would be a lifetime honor for me to listen to Master's music."
After Yi Shanjin finished speaking, he found a stool and sat down.
The meaning is obvious——
Master, you can start moving.
Bai Zirou stroked the strings gently, and after thinking for a moment, she moved her index finger lightly.
After playing with it slightly, the harp fairy made a green and light sound.
The rhythm gradually speeds up, like the sound of beads falling from a jade plate.
Then I heard the sound of the strings slowly rising.
Yi Shanjin couldn't understand it, so he could only listen to the excitement.
However, it still sounds pretty good.
Bai Zirou finished playing the song and asked softly:
"how?"
Do you even need to ask?
I'll blow it up.
I pray you are so good!
The above is not a typo, it is a typo.
The atmosphere in the room gradually became lively. Hua Xiangrong didn't come anyway. Yishan cleared his throat and said:
"Since Master has played music for me, I can't help but sing a song for Master. But my singing method is a bit strange, Master, please don't mind."
Yishan Jin was also interested, he was already in a good mood, he had a house, a job and a beautiful master.
Life is full of joy.
At this time, I couldn’t care less about the embarrassment and started singing a cappella:
"The world of mortals is so ridiculous
Infatuation is the most boring
It doesn’t matter if you are arrogant about everything
This life is not over yet
My heart is no longer disturbed
I just want to be free for half my life
…”
Yishan's singing skills are top-notch.
Although this song "Laughing at the Red Dust" is not Yi Shanjin's favorite song, it is not an embarrassing song at all when sung in the current environment.
It's this way of singing that's really strange.
Although ancient people and modern people have different aesthetics, "Laughing in the Red Dust" was the same.
As the theme song of the 1993 Hong Kong movie "The Invincibles of the East", it is popular all over the country and is popular among people.
Naturally, it’s because of the free and carefree artistic conception in its music style and lyrics.
But they happen to be similar to Bai Zirou.
Of course it was Bai Zirou in her previous peak period.
Especially because of Yi Shanjin’s recent experiences, he had a different feeling when singing this song.
The song was sung a cappella.
Bai Zirou thought for a while and then said:
"Singing well."
Yi Shanjin was a little embarrassed, thinking that Master would give some long speech or praise.
But I heard Bai Zirou say again:
"In a few days, I'll write a melody for your song, and I'll play and sing it for you to give it a try. By the way, are there any more?"
"Master, do you like to hear it?"
"My disciple sang beautifully."
Bai Zirou added with a gentle smile:
"I like everything my disciple sings."
When Yishan heard this, his face turned a little red.
What is going on? Master is teasing me?
No, it's impossible, right?
"Then I'll sing another song."
Yishan thought for a while and was planning to sing the theme song of "Swordsman".
But suddenly I heard the sound of someone walking outside.
Then there was a knock on the door.
"Dr. Yi! Dr. Yi! Have you gone to bed?"
The voice sounds a bit strange.
But at this hour, he is still knocking on the door, which is unusual.
Yishan Jin and Bai Zirou looked at each other.
Bai Zirou frowned and nodded.
Yi Shanjin took out a piece of talisman paper with the word "Fire" written on it and carried it behind his back.
This talisman was given to me by Hua Xiangrong.
Yi Shanjin is still learning to draw talisman and is not yet proficient in it. Although Bai Zirou can draw talisman, she has no spiritual energy and what she draws now is really useless.
Yi Shanjin walked to the door holding the talisman and asked:
"Who is here? What's the matter?"
Just heard shouting outside the door:
"The master of Xuannv Palace, Hua Xiangrong, was arrested by our Qintian Prison, but she mentioned your name, and the prison officer asked you to go to the government office as soon as possible to assist in the investigation!"
What?
Hua Xiangrong was arrested?
