The streets of Luoyang City are mostly paved with large bluestone slabs, and on rainy days, they will never step on the mud and splash everywhere like in Weicheng. Those bluestone slabs of excellent quality have been trampled and crushed by people and horses and vehicles for thousands of years, and have long been rubbed smooth as mirrors.

In the past few days, Dongluo followed Zhang Baigui to visit most of Luoyang City, and along the way, Dongluo kept recording in a small book.

Jang Baek-gyu didn't know what he was recording, he was just in charge of wandering around with Dongluo and then going home for dinner.

Zhang Baigui held a handful of mutton skewers in his left hand and a handful of mutton skewers in his right hand, and pointed to a pill shop in front of him and said, "This pill shop is also the property of the Chen family. And the previous few training shops are also ......"

Dongluo stopped recording and asked suspiciously, "Why is most of the Chen family's industry concentrated in pill shops and practice instrument shops?"

Zhang Baigui turned around and handed Dongluo a handful of mutton skewers, and said vaguely: "Because of huge profits! If you are sick, you need pills, and you need pills to improve your cultivation, this world is the world of the Great Zhou, and in the final analysis, it is still the world of cultivators." And the elixir and the spiritual weapon are the second life of the cultivator to a certain extent. Whenever any elixir comes out, it will definitely be snapped up by cultivators in an instant. Do cultivators care about the money of ordinary people? Of course they do, and they care more than ordinary people, because in their eyes, it is not just money, but cultivation, and life. ”

Dongluo's last sight, from high to low, from far to near, staring at the shops on both sides of the street, looking like a young man, only then squeezed out a smile and said: "I'm worried that they don't care, little black, wait a minute, you ask Uncle Zhang to go to the household department to help me check how many elixir shops there are in Luoyang City." Who are their legal entities?"

Zhang Baigui shook his head and said, "No need to check." How can ordinary people start this kind of profiteering industry, and how can the country let ordinary people open it. More than half of the hundreds of Danqi shops in the eight districts of Luoyang City are in the hands of major families, and half of them are at least one or more senior members of the DPRK and the Central Committee standing behind them, or they are opened by their families. ”

"Do you mean that the Dan Ware Shop in Luoyang City is actually in the hands of the Shi family?" Dongluo said again.

Zhang Baigui nodded, looked at Dongluo who was in thought, and suddenly asked, "Do you have any ideas that lack virtue again?" Why do I have a feeling of panic. ”

Dongluo put the small book in his hand into his arms and said with a smile: "You go and ask the Weicheng father, am I the kind of person who lacks morality?"

"Yes. Zhang Baigui nodded without hesitation.

Dongluo snatched the mutton skewer in his hand, took a bite and said, "I'll take you to find someone." ”

"What are you looking for?"

"Borrow money and borrow people. ”

......

......

After asking for directions several times, Dongluo and Zhang Baigui finally found a big mansion in the center of the city. After asking the porter to report it, Dongluo stood outside the door and looked at the two life-tall lions placed at the door, stunned.

After a while, a little girl in the mansion ran out, looked around, and found that there was nothing she was looking for, and then said to Dongluo with a small face: "My brother asked me to pick you up." Follow me. ”

Dongluo smiled: "Ergouzi, next time I'll bring Da Hei to play with you." ”

The girl is Xue Yuxin, and Dongluo naturally guessed what she was looking for. Sure enough, after hearing Dongluo's words, the girl finally showed a smile.

In Xue Nianci's study, after a short mutual introduction, Dongluo directly explained the intention.

"How much do you want to borrow, how many people?" Xue Nianci tapped on the handrail of the wheelchair.

"The more money, the better, and there are more than 100 people who have believed. Half a year later, the money will be repaid to you tenfold. Dongluo looked at Xue Nianci and said seriously.

Xue Nianci nodded and said: "I don't have much money I can mobilize, I can use all the snow clan and my vein, but you have to tell me where to use it, so that I can convince me of the clan elders in this vein." ”

Dongluo shook his head and said, "I told you that you can, but I can't believe others." I want to destroy the Great Zhou Hundred Clans, including the Chen Clan, and the Hundred Civil and Military Officials within a year, even if I can't destroy them, I will make them suffer a lot of vitality. I don't have much left. ”

Xue Nianci and Zhang Baigui shrank and glanced at each other. I saw the shock in my heart.

Curious! Extremely curious! Within one year, all the tribes in Luoyang City were wiped out, and a large number of civil and military officials were destroyed. What a big breath, such a big bearing, so much courage.

As for what kind of person Dongluo is, they have their own understanding in their eyes. However, if it is really as they say, the Great Zhou Hundred Clans will be wiped out within a year, then this plan must be extremely crazy.

Xue Nianci also saw the confidence in Dongluo's eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "If you follow your plan, what do you need?"

"Money. ”

"How much?"

"A billion silver. ”

Zhang Baigui stood up suddenly, looked at Dongluo and said, "You don't want to hire a killer, do you?"

Dongluo smiled: "Do you think I look like that kind of person?"

Zhang Baigui did not nod this time, but looked at Dongluo seriously as if he knew Dongluo for the first time and said, "What is your plan?"

Dongluo also looked at Zhang Baigui seriously, and after a long time, after handing the small book in his arms to Zhang Baigui and Xue Nianci, he found a place to sit down.

Xue Nianci and the others took the small notebook and flipped through it page by page, and this look was more than an hour.

An hour later, Xue Nianci looked at Dongluo with red eyes and said, "How did you find this flaw?"

"There has been research on this issue in the place where I was born. I'm just borrowing some of the wisdom of my predecessors. It's a pity that this plan can only be used once. Dongluo shook his head and sighed.

"Uh, where were you born?" asked Zhang Baigui.

Looking at Zhang Baigui, Dongluo smiled slightly and did not answer.

"There are 100,000 lower-grade spirit stones that I can mobilize in my vein, and 500 million taels of silver, all of which are up to you to deploy. In addition, I will send Li Chengliang to lead 500 men to listen to your dispatch. But I have a request, for this part of the Snow Clan's plan......" Xue Nianci was silent for a long time and said, "I'll complete it myself." I think I'll meet my big brother for a while. ”

Dongluo nodded and said, "That's enough." ”

There are three kinds of spirit stones, which are divided into upper grade, middle grade, and lower grade. A high-grade spirit stone can be worth 100 medium-grade spirit stones, a medium-grade spirit stone can be worth 1,000 lower-grade spirit stones, and a low-grade spirit stone can be worth 1,000 taels of silver.

Xue Nianci has given a lot.

Zhang Baigui looked at Dongluo with a narrow gaze and said, "Do you want to take Chen Guo?"

Xue Nianci and Dongluo glanced at each other, thought of the relationship for a moment, and looked at the black-faced man in front of him in shock and said lightly: "Mrs. Fan has almost forgotten who Chen Guo is, just let him stay there for another year." ”

Dongluo nodded and said, "Of course you have to take it." ”

Zhang Baigui sat up straight, looked at Dongluo and suddenly smiled: "After reading so many sage books, I have had a dream since I was a child, which is to go to Jun Yao Shun. ”

......

......

In the next few months, Dongluo was like a nobody, either appearing in Zhang's house or in the Snow Clan. Occasionally, I would go to a cool place under the big tree and chat with a group of old women.

Decades of experience have made them more philistine, but they still can't change the simplicity and tenderness that they brought from birth.

Dongluo stood by the courtyard wall and said to Xue Nianci: "Do you want to go with me to the big locust tree to play?"

Xue Nianci raised her head and said, "I'm not going." ”

Dongluo tugged at the corners of his mouth: "It's boring." ”

He turned his head to Xue Yuxin and said, "Ergouzi, let's go, go buy you a bundle of sugar gourds." ”

Xue Yu said disdainfully: "Do you have money?"

After Dongluo put his hands on his back, he held his head high and strode forward. Da Hei, Erhei, and Sanhei lined up in a row and followed him with high spirits, Dongluo turned back to Xue Yuxin and said, "No, that's why I called you." ”

Today, many people gathered under the big locust tree, all pointing around a fortune-telling booth, but no one stepped forward.

Dongluo squeezed into the crowd with a string of sugar gourds in his hand, and said to a middle-aged woman beside him, "Aunt Wang, what are you looking at?"

The middle-aged woman looked back at the young man and said, "It's Xiaodong! Someone is telling fortunes! We all want to find him to calculate, but we don't know if it's accurate." ”

Dongluo nodded in agreement. Older people either don't believe in fate or believe in it very much. Even if you don't want to be a child for yourself, you want to see what your life is like.

Even if it is fake, it requires a peace of mind. People eat the soil for a lifetime, and the soil eats people once. Maybe once you close your eyes and look at them, it's the next life.

Dongluo looked down at the little white shoes under his feet, and suddenly laughed.

This foot is the same foot, but the feeling of stepping on the bluestone slab is different from the mud.

Behind the fortune-telling booth sat a young Taoist priest wearing an old Taoist robe, with a straight waist and a Taoist crown on his head, like a blooming lotus flower.

The middle-aged Taoist looked at the young man who was squeezing into the crowd with a sugar gourd in his hand, and hurriedly greeted: "Young man, come and draw a lot and write a word." Help you calculate the good fortune and the bad luck. ”

Dongluo pointed at himself with his finger and said suspiciously: "Me?"

The Taoist nodded and said: "Young man, in the past, the poor Dao unsigned for others, and he had to charge ten cents, but now I will make an exception and only charge you three cents! Of course, if you draw out a lottery, you might as well add one more penny, if the good luck is the head, it is signed, and the poor Dao only charges you five cents, how about it?"

Dongluo touched his pocket, which was whiter than his face, put his hands together, and said to everyone: "Aunts, thank you for taking care of you for many days, I will check the authenticity for you." ”

As soon as the words fell, it was like a human head falling to the ground, and there was a sound on the ground. In vain, a burst of blood increased and attracted a round of applause.

"Xiaodong, just say this to you, my aunt must find a good girl for you. ”

"Xiaodong, I'm going to my aunt's house for dinner today. ”

......

Dongluo walked quickly to the bench in front of the Taoist stall and sat down.

The Taoist smiled and stretched out his hand and motioned for the young man to pick up the prayer cylinder.

Dongluo shook his head and said, "Didn't you say that you can measure words? ”

The middle-aged Taoist spread out a piece of inferior straw paper on the table, handed a brush to the young man, and signaled that he could put it down.

"If you like fortune telling, I have a word I want you to help you do the math. "I only wrote Dongluo, waved the pen and wrote a word in a hurry on the straw paper.

As expected, the word fate really caused a commotion, but it soon fell silent, quietly looking at the middle-aged Taoist priest.

The middle-aged Taoist priest frowned and looked at the words on the table, and couldn't help but sigh: "Good words." Poor Dao has been measuring words for people for decades, and I have never seen such a good handwriting. ”

"Life. It is composed of three parts, people, one, and knock. A person knocking on the sky is a life. The middle-aged Taoist looked at Dong Luo and said: "The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is forty-nine, and one of them is gone." And you, that one. Nine is the extreme, and you are also that pole. Life, the one who knocks is the one, and the one who cultivates is the pole. ”

Dongluo wondered, "What does this mean?"

The middle-aged Taoist shook his head and said, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed. ”

Dongluo also smiled: "Then you can count it like this." Do you think I'm going to give you money today?"

The middle-aged Taoist got up and began to clean up the stall and said: "The money is in your hands, whether you give it or not is your business, and your life is also in your hands." When you have the money to me, come to the Longmen outside Luoyang City to find me!"

Dongluo clenched his fists and stood under the tree in a daze, surrounded by a group of people watching him quietly.

Xue Yuxin shook his sleeve and said, "What are you in a daze! Aunt Wang said that she was looking for a good girl for you, so soon did you want to get into trouble?"

Dongluo glanced around and said suspiciously, "What about the middle-aged Taoist priest?"

"What middle-aged Taoist priest?" Xue Yuxin also asked suspiciously.

Looking back, it was empty, and the shadow of the middle-aged Taoist priest came!

The breeze blows, and the shadows of the trees sway.
