In a quiet courtyard at the end of Huangling Street, which consists of the main house and several thatched houses, a young woman in simple clothes was wiping the hall and three bedrooms of the main house with water, followed by the young woman.
A seven or eight-year-old boy with a tough head and a tough brain.
"Mom, let's move in here!" the little boy said with enthusiasm. The little boy couldn't understand why his parents couldn't live in such a nice house when they were empty, so they took him and squeezed into the small thatched house in the yard.
, and the main house is cleaned every day, but no one lives in it.
"Well, this is the house where the Immortal Master lives." The young woman finished wiping the mahogany square table, put the rag in the basin, washed it, took it out and said.
"Mom, you always say that this is the room where the Immortal Master lives, but where is the Immortal Master? He doesn't come to live here. The Immortal Master must have forgotten it a long time ago." The little boy pouted and said, it was too cold.
The thatched huts in the courtyard cannot block the wind at all. It would be great if we could move here!
"Boom, boom!" At this time, there was a knock on the door in the courtyard.
"Yao'er, go and open the door. Your father is back!" It seemed that the man had returned from work. The young woman wiped the back of the rosewood chair and said kindly to the little boy behind her.
"Dad! Have you bought the candied haws on a stick?" The little boy ran into the yard to open the door and shouted as he ran. In the morning, his father had promised him that he would bring him a bunch of red candied haws when he came back.
"Uncle! Did you go to the wrong door?" The little boy said timidly when he opened the courtyard door. It was not his father. There was a stranger standing outside the door.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, aren't you here?" Liu Yu looked into the courtyard with a suspicious look on her face. When she saw that she was not in the wrong place, she asked.
The visitor was Liu Yu, who came to Beiluan City on the Baixinglin cargo ship. After more than a month of stop-and-go journey, he arrived half an hour ago. After catching up with Mr. Tian from Baixinglin, he rushed here.
A small courtyard purchased many years ago.
When Liu Yu withdrew from Beiluan City with his sect, Liu Yu did not sell the small courtyard, but let the old couple continue to live there. For Liu Yu, a small courtyard was not worth a few taels of silver.
When we come to Beiluan City again, we will have a place to stay.
"Is this Master Liu Xian?" The young woman heard the commotion in the courtyard, walked out of the main room, and saw a young Taoist standing outside the courtyard wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, with hair tied and a crown, and she was anxious and asked hurriedly.
Tao.
"Uncle Li, where are they?!" Seeing a strange woman coming out of the main room, Liu Yu couldn't help but frown and asked.
"Master Immortal, please come in quickly!" It seemed that it was Master Liu who Aunt Li was talking about, the real owner of this courtyard, the young woman said anxiously.
"Master Immortal, please sit down quickly and have a sip of tea." Liu Yu came to sit down at the stone table under the big banyan tree in the courtyard. The young woman quickly ran into the kitchen, took out the hot pot, poured a bowl of boiling water into Liu Yu, and took out another
Small plate of pastries.
"Master Immortal, Aunt Li passed away the year before last. The peasant woman and the couple were strangers. Their family was attacked by bandits and they fled to Beiluan City. The kind-hearted Aunt Li saw that the three of us were living on the streets and were pitiful, so she gave us a place to live...
..." The young woman stood aside, her hands spread out, talking intermittently. The little boy who had just opened the door grabbed the woman's trousers, hid behind her, and peeked at Liu Yu.
It turns out that Uncle Li died of illness many years ago, leaving Aunt Li all alone. When the old man saw that the fleeing family was living on the street with a three or four-year-old child with a yellow mouth, it was really pitiful, so he let the family live in a small courtyard.
After settling down, I became frail and sick, and needed someone to take care of me.
This family was also grateful and took good care of Aunt Li's daily life after they moved in. They treated Aunt Li like their own old mother until her death.
"Xiu Niang, we have a guest!" At this time, a young man in coarse clothes walked in from the courtyard door and said cheerfully to the young woman.
"Brother Niu, come quickly, this is Master Liu Xian." The young woman said hurriedly when her husband came back and had a backbone.
"Guo Niu, the common man, has met Master Liu. The common man will go find a house tomorrow. Aunt Li has told him that the main house and the wing are the residences of the immortal master. The three common people live in thatched huts in the courtyard and they dare not move rashly. Xiu Niang in the main house will do it every day
Cleaning, Immortal Master can move in at any time." The man in rough clothes was suddenly startled, stepped forward and said respectfully.
When the village was attacked by bandits, Guo Niu fled to Beiluan City with his wife and children. If Aunt Li hadn't taken it back, he might have died of starvation on the streets.
Although he had never met the real owner of the courtyard as mentioned by Aunt Li, who was said to be a young immortal master from the Immortal Sect, Guo Niu still felt awe and gratitude. After Aunt Li passed away, he never moved into the main house, and the family of three huddled together in a thatched house.
Life in the house.
"Master Immortal, you have a rest first. The common people asked Xiu Niang to prepare some food!" The man in rough clothes invited Liu Yu into the master bedroom of the main house and then left.
Liu Yu looked around the bedroom. Everything in the room was exactly the same as when he left it many years ago, and it was spotless. Apparently someone had been cleaning it. It seemed that the young couple had not lied. They exited the master bedroom and came to the hall to sit quietly. After saying goodbye,
, I didn’t expect that both Uncle Li and Aunt Li had died of illness.
The next day, after eating the breakfast prepared by the young woman, Liu Yu Yujian came to Wuhu Square. There was a huge crowd, and there was an endless stream of people coming in and out. Wuhu Square was still so lively. Liu Yu followed the crowds and went to the boutique in the center of the square.
Walking around the area, I saw that the stall that Qingyan Group rented in the boutique area seemed to be No. 126.
Looking for the numbers in front of the stalls in the boutique area, Liu Yu quickly found stall No. 126. The stalls were filled with various spiritual materials, elixirs, spiritual talismans, and magic weapons. The front of the stall was full of people.
There were onlookers, some asking for prices, and some just hanging out and watching the fun.
From a distance, I saw a beautiful woman in a palace dress bargaining with two swordsmen. She was so charming and had a smile as bright as a flower. The two swordsmen were so distracted that they only knew how to dig out the spiritual stones. This beautiful woman was none other than Jiang.
Yin.
"Sister Yin, long time no see!" After Jiang Yin sent the two swordsmen away, Liu Yu stepped forward to say hello.
"Brother Liu!" Jiang Yin was stunned and exclaimed with a happy face. Before she could finish speaking, she changed her tone and said with a smile: "No, now we should be called Taoist Master Xuanyu!"
"Sister Yin is joking, I'd better call you little brother," Liu Yu said with a chuckle.
"This guy talks too much, let's go to the teahouse and sit down and talk!" Jiang Yin glanced at the noisy crowd around her and said.
"Just listen to Sister Yin!" There were so many onlookers in front of the stall that it was really not suitable to talk, so Liu Yu nodded in response.
"Han Fei, keep an eye on the stall. Sister Yin will take Brother Liu to Xianhe Tower to sit down!" Jiang Yin greeted a young steward at the stall.
"I know, Sister Yin!" The young steward responded first, then bowed respectfully to Liu Yu and said, "Han Fei has met Taoist Priest Xuanyu!"
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Han!" Liu Yu only remembered who this person was after hearing the young steward calling himself.
When I first learned to draw talisman, I bought a book of talisman painting tips and a "Fire Crown Pen" at Wuhu Plaza, which came from this person. Later, I had many contacts with Qingyan Tuan, and I occasionally met this person.
, can be regarded as an old friend.
Han Fei looked at Sister Yin and Liu Yu's retreating figures, and his eyes couldn't help showing a hint of gratitude. He is now also a junior talisman master, and all the low-level talismans sold at the stall are from his hands. p>
However, some special third-level spiritual talismans, such as the Hidden Breath Talisman, giant flame bombs, etc., and two types of fourth-level spiritual talismans, "talismans" and "air shield talismans", are still provided by the Xuanyu Taoist Priest.
Han Fei was able to become a talisman master thanks to Liu Yu who often took the time to teach him some talisman drawing techniques when he was working part-time at "Fuyuan Building". It was precisely because of his certain talisman drawing skills that he received the financial support of the entire hunting group and became a
A full-time talisman master of Qingyan Group.
Jiang Yin took Liu Yu to the "Xianhe Teahouse" outside Wuhu Square and opened a private room on the second floor. This teahouse was where Liu Yu and Tian Lao discussed exchanging the "blood-spotted black taro" in their hands for "double
The teahouse where the secret method of "Dan Quetian" is used.
Liu Yu still remembers the signboard of this teahouse, which is a second-grade spiritual tea called "Xianyun Yehe".
After the two sat down, Jiang Yin asked the shopkeeper to serve a pot of "Xianyun Yehe", and then the two started chatting.
They talked about their respective experiences over the years. The Qingyan Group has developed well in recent years. The stall rented in the boutique area is under the management of Jiang Yin. The business is very good. Ordinary members can also receive hundreds of low-level spiritual stones in a year.
dividends.
Naturally, Liu Yu contributed to this. The various levels of talismans provided by Liu Yu, especially the high-quality third-level "talismans" and "air shield talismans", were so good and cheap that they attracted a lot of customers to Qingyan Tuan's stall.
Customers, of course the cooperation between Liu Yu and Qingyan Group is mutually beneficial, and Liu Yu himself has made a lot of money over the years.
"By the way, Sister Yin! Why don't you see Brother Song?" After chatting for a while, Liu Yu asked.
"I'm recuperating in the mountains. I failed to build a foundation in seclusion half a year ago and injured my Dantian." Jiang Yin couldn't help but look sad. This retreat was Song Hongjiang's second time to build a foundation. He failed again and injured his Dantian. He almost declared
Song Hongjiang has no chance of further advancement.
The Blue Eyes Group has more than 400 members, and it can be considered a small hunting gang. As the number of members increases, various disputes will naturally increase. They are trying to make a living in the chaotic Black and White Mountains, and there are no foundation-building experts to take charge.
Stable, let alone the prying eyes of other hunting gangs, it cannot suppress some interested people within the gang.
Fortunately, everyone in the gang knew that their leader was an old friend of a foundation-building deacon of Huang Shengzong, and the high-level talismans sold at the gang stall came from the hands of this foundation-building deacon of Huang Shengzong, so even if someone in the gang had evil intentions, they would not
Dare to make too much noise.
"Didn't Brother Liu ask Sister Yin to inquire about the four spiritual materials of "Blood-spotted Black Taro", "Difu Fruit", "Ghost Wind Lotus" and "Huanglong Stem"! I just received a plant at the stall a month ago.
"Yellow rhizome," I wanted to send it to you, but I didn't expect you to come to Beiluan City." Jiang Yin took out an apricot-yellow rhizome three fingers wide and handed it to Liu Yu and said.
"Sister Yin, how many spiritual stones did you spend?" Liu Yu collected these four spiritual materials for his junior sister Tang Zhi. Many years ago, he asked Qingyan Tuan to help inquire about them in Beiluan City.
"It doesn't cost much spirit stones. Brother Liu, just keep it!" Although it cost a high price of 13,000 low-grade spirit stones to harvest this "yellow stalk", Jiang Yin would not accept it from Liu Yu.
The spiritual stone is a reward for Liu Yu’s help to Qingyan Tuan over the years.
"Okay! I'll thank Sister Yin then!" Seeing that Jiang Yin didn't intend to ask for the spirit stone, Liu Yu didn't insist and said with a smile.
The two chatted for a while, and Liu Yu told Jiang Yin that she still lived in the small courtyard at the end of Huangling Street. If you need anything, you can go to the small courtyard to find him. Then she said goodbye to Jiang Yin and left Wuhu Square. p>
"Master Immortal, these are some wines and dishes prepared by the Cao Min woman for you. You can try them." Liu Yu returned to the small courtyard and found a table of dishes in the main room. The three members of the family were waiting in the courtyard for Liu Yu.
.
"If Aunt Li hadn't allowed the peasant woman and her family to stay in this courtyard, the peasant woman's family of three might have starved to death on the street. Thank you Aunt Li for your kindness, and thank you Immortal Master for your kindness. The peasant woman can't bring anything else to the table.
Home-cooked food and wine, I hope the immortal master won’t dislike it!” The young woman prepared a large table of food for a whole day, which cost a lot of money and was more abundant than in previous New Year celebrations.
"You two are interested, let's sit together!" Liu Yu moved his chopsticks a few times. The meat was cooked and delicious. It was obvious that the young woman's cooking skills were pretty good, and it suited Liu Yu's taste. Seeing the whole family standing aside, Liu Yu
Said in greeting.
"Master Immortal, the common people have eaten. They went to find a house this morning. The common people will move out tomorrow and will not disturb the immortal master's peace again. This is the money left by Aunt Li, and the common people have not touched a penny."
He put the cloth bag on the table, which contained a hundred-tael silver note and some broken silver, and said honestly.
Guo Niu went looking for a house early in the morning. He had a place to stay in Beiluan City over the years. He worked long-term and short-term jobs and saved some money. The family moved out. Although life will be very difficult in the future, they can survive.
, we won’t end up living on the streets like when we first arrived in Beiluancheng.
"You keep the money, there is no need to move out. Pindao doesn't live here long, so he only stays here occasionally. The money will be used as wages for you to help Pindao guard the yard." Liu Yu saw that this couple was quite considerate.
The yard was empty, and it would be nice to have someone to take care of the food, so he spoke.
"Master Immortal, please quickly collect this money. Immortal Master allows the common people to keep it. The common people are very grateful!" The man in rough clothes said excitedly.
"I don't need these few pieces of silver, so you can take them as long as you want." Liu Yu said nonchalantly.
