The Beggar Turns Over Chapter 16 Jincheng at Home
Li Mang was talking to the third son all the way, and he found out a lot of things he wanted to know between words, such as the vastness of Shenzhou, such as the grassland where he was originally located only belonged to a corner of the Western Regions, such as how prosperous the Jincheng he was going to next was, such as the more prosperous and rich Central Plains, such as the division of specific realms, etc...
Generally speaking, Li Mang feels that this world is just like the land of China in his previous life, only a little bigger. And his previous physical realm cultivation was just stronger than ordinary people, nothing more.
After forging the body and quenching the body to increase one's physique to a limit, you can generate a steady stream of internal force in your body, and the internal force will continue to temper and strengthen your body, and then a stronger body will continue to produce more internal force.
After the body realm, there is the inner realm, which is divided into four realms: Xiaocheng, Zhongcheng, Dacheng, and Consummation, corresponding to the 70 to 100 levels of Li Mang's cultivation, and the inner realm can be called a grandmaster.
The cultivation of the inner realm is extremely slow, and it takes years of continuous polishing, bit by bit accumulation to progress, of course, the auxiliary medicinal materials for tempering the body and increasing the internal strength are also essential, so although the Shenzhou is large, there are very few grandmasters, and most of them come from some profound big families, big forces, and major sects, ordinary people want to achieve grandmasters and reach the peak, I am afraid it is extremely difficult.
Jincheng, where Yu Xiu's family is located, is located on the vast Gobi, adjacent to the grassland, is an important node city for rich and prosperous Central Plains merchants to travel to and from the Western Grassland, is the traffic artery and commercial port of the Sino-Western trade route, and it is also the largest and most prosperous city in the northwest of the land of China.
Under the city gate, Li Mang saw the tall and wide stone city wall, and was amazed, the scale of this city was more than ten times larger than the two cities he had seen in the Western Regions grassland before, and naturally, it could accommodate more ordinary people.
Just entered the city, Li Mang suddenly had a feeling of returning to his previous life, only to see that the street was full of people, both sides of the street were full of multi-storey attic shops, no less than any commercial street in the previous life, shouting, selling, bargaining sound endlessly, there were merchants dressed in the Central Plains, and there were many exotic people dressed in national costumes, but Li Mang had probably never seen it.
The style and culture of this city are so unique and so blended?
Yu Jia, can occupy a place in such a prosperous and wealthy golden city, you can imagine its strength. And Yu Xiu, an old man who is more than a year old, can be in charge of such a family, you can imagine his wisdom and means, for a while Li Mang thought of the scene when he first saw the old man in the carriage, and the aura and strong smell of blood that made him feel dangerous faintly emanated.
Yu's house is located in the middle of Jincheng, is a huge manor covering an area of several acres, Li Mang has not yet dismounted, he saw the wide and heroic courtyard of Yufu and the two jade unicorns in front of the door, the end is extremely luxurious. At this time, the juniors in the family should have received the news of Yu Xiu's return, and a group of people stayed outside the door early and were waiting respectfully.
The carriage stopped, and the third son jumped off the horse first, took off the low stool on the wheel, and then gently opened the door curtain, and said respectfully: "Master, I'm home."
There was an "um" in the car, and he saw Yu Xiu, who was in a green robe and white hair, walked out with his head down, stood on the wheel, squinted his triangular eyes and looked at the people waiting in front of the door, before stepping out of the car.
"Welcome back to the old man (father) (grandfather)..."A group of people saw Yu Xiu standing firmly, so they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
Yu Xiu didn't pay attention to it, but turned around and greeted Li Mang and said, "Come, Xiaoyou, come to me."
Li Mang was still on the horse at this time, and he didn't know what he was thinking, listening to the old man's greeting, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, came to the old man's side and said: "I was stunned by the luxurious courtyard of your house for a while, don't blame the old man."
"It's okay, haha, you all get up" Yu Xiu patted Li Mang's shoulder first, and then said to the kneeling crowd.
Then without waiting for everyone to speak, he pulled Li Mang and said: "This little brother I met in the Gobi, I have the grace to save my life, I specially invited him to come to my house as a guest, you must not be lazy", and then pointed to these people to Li Mang and introduced: "This is my eldest son Yu Wenhao, most of the affairs in the house are now taken care of by him, if you need anything in the future, you will find him directly, and the rest will not be able to say to you, let's go, let's go in."
Yu Xiu is resolute, presumably he usually has a lot of power, these juniors were so deferential and unusually deferential to him in front of outsiders, and Li Mang was dragged away directly by him before he could see the courtesy.
The shock of Li Mang at the door has not yet come back to his senses, and he only knows that the elegant layout inside the main gate is unprecedented, and it is more amazing than the scene in the TV series in the previous life, pavilions, rockery landscapes, garden paths, and the joy of forest springs... There are big surprises every step of the way.
Li Mang had to sigh: "This is the most perfect home in his heart!"
......
The old man pulled Li Mang straight to the study, and the two sat across the table, waiting for the servant to serve hot tea and leave, before he slowly spoke: "Do you know why I am so enthusiastic about you?"
Li Mang was stunned for a moment, and said: "This is exactly what the younger generation wants to know!"
The old man did not explain, but asked rhetorically, "Are you eighteen years old now?"
Li Mang was stunned again, why didn't this old man play cards according to the routine, and after thinking about it, he said: "It's the beginning of the inner realm, but it's not... I don't know how to say it, how old ... I don't know, I was an orphan when I was a child, I grew up begging, where I remember clearly".
The old man glanced at Li Mang deeply, and then spoke again: "I am very talented, and it took me thirty years to reach the inner realm, and the world is generally like this. You're a beggar and you're a genius to be able to achieve this...".
Li Mang was speechless, and he didn't know how to take this next, so he heard the old man speak again at this time: "I treat you like this, it is also an investment, I can provide you with everything, I just hope you can protect my family for a hundred years."
Li Mang was not surprised by the old man's outspokenness, but was a little appreciative, and replied: "If I could meet the old man before, you told me this, I might agree, but now... In addition to wanting to become stronger, I just want to travel the world and see a wider world, and I really can't stay here for long."
The old man leaned back in his chair, sighed, and then closed his eyes and spoke, his voice very low, as if talking to himself: "You are like me... I was also born in the grassland, I am also an orphan, I traveled the world at the age of eighteen, and it took half a life to create this Yufu... Now my sworn enemy is obviously going to make a move, and when I am here, the Yu family can still resist one or two, if I am not there, this great mansion will be reduced to nothing in an instant...".
Li Mang was silent, and after a long time, the old man spoke up again: "You can use all the resources of my family, fifty years, as long as you protect my family for fifty years."
Li Mang shook his head slightly, still refusing. The old man sighed again and said, "Twenty years?"
Li Mang didn't move this time, just stared deeply into the old man's eyes, and the old man seemed to have an answer, and leaned back on the chair again to close his eyes and recuperate.
There was a sudden deathly silence in the study, and after a long time, the old man spoke again: "Hey... That's it, you can live as long as you want, I'll open it for you in the library of the family, you also need to read some books to get a good understanding of the land of China, and then go to leave you at will, if you have the heart, help me at home in the future?"
Li Mang was inexplicably moved, and nodded firmly: "Okay."
The old man seems to be a lot more cheerful, Li Mang is the same person as him, as long as there are some entanglements, he will definitely help in the future, he firmly believes this. Although he is an investment, he still admires Li Mang very much, this kid is not very old, but he is very old when he speaks.
I have to say that this old man is still very accurate in seeing people.
......
That's it... Li Mang stayed in Yu Mansion with peace of mind, what he did was just Yu Mansion's collection of books, he really needed to really understand the world.
