Chapter Fifty-Eight: Six Auspicious Residences
Seeing that the hunt above the temple had departed, and the people began to gather again, the bold ones walked towards the wall where the hunter had been slain, and there was a little splattering blood on the ground, and some fragments of clothing, and the crossbow arrow had been taken away, leaving only a hole the thickness of a thumb. The entrance to the cave is smooth and delicate, without any openings, and it seems that the craftsman who made the arrowheads is a master craftsman, and the details can be taken care of so much.
This crossbow arrow has a huge damage, and it seems that it is not something that ordinary martial arts people can get. The temple is strictly controlled for the weapons with great lethality, even if it is traded secretly, the price has increased several times, if it is reported and let the people in the temple know, then it will avoid prison.
The entrance to the cave was left on the wall, and it was possible to see some of the scenery on the other side, which made the people around them very palpitating, as if they could imagine the fear of the hunter before he was nailed to the wall. At that time, the crossbow arrow appeared silently, and even a cultivator with profound cultivation in the martial arts rivers and lakes was difficult to dodge.
Qingzhou City is also regarded as a place where the folk customs are fierce, many people go over the mountains and mountains to the rich land to beg for a life at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and they often hear about killing people and goods, and even many people are also begging for a life on the tip of the knife, but it is rare to dare to kill people in the downtown of Qingzhou City.
It seems that this Orion's accomplice was afraid of being discovered, so he struck first, and took advantage of the fact that the four hunters had not yet reacted, and directly took out crossbow arrows and killed the accomplice, without the slightest fear that the Tian shopkeeper who was taken hostage or was killed by mistake.
For a ruthless person, only the dead can keep their mouths shut, and as for whether to die one or a pair, this is not his concern.
At this moment, the old woman from before woke up and knew from the previous conversation that this should be the insider of the shopkeeper Tian. The old woman looked at the position of the shopkeeper in front of Tian in a daze, looking like she had no master, and she was at a loss for a while, not knowing what to do.
A well-known passer-by sighed, squatted down and comforted: "The shopkeeper Tian was killed by thieves, even if it is a heavenly man, it is a lack of skills to return to the sky, and the mourning is smooth." β
When the old woman heard this, she fainted again, and they called for a carriage and carried her home. The rest of the people are also discussing with each other what has just happened: although the shopkeeper Tian is treacherous, but the crime is not death, this sudden disaster, this Tian Ji Silk Village is afraid that it will be closed.
Qin Chuan stood in the corner of the Tongfu Inn, looking at the crossbow arrow that had just appeared, and his heart palpitated. Thinking that if he was on the wall, he would not be able to dodge the crossbow arrow anyway. Mr. Zuo, who had stepped into the Gathering Spirit Realm with half a foot in the Guanshan Pass before, was able to dodge dozens of crossbow arrows, and the difference in this realm was so obvious.
In the middle of autumn, there is still a little cold on the body.
Qin Chuan glanced at the sun, and the people began to warm up, as if the acupuncture points on his body began to open up, absorbing the essence of the sun, and Qin Chuan's tiredness from fighting with the scar-faced old man disappeared.
The crossbow arrow seemed to be nailed to Qin Chuan's heart, which made him feel a lot of emotion. Although relying on the "Taiping Manuscript" and the "Bodhicitta Sutra" to condense the empty mountain and Danhai, but in the fight with others, Qin Chuan found that his heaven and earth aura had not yet entered the table, and every time he was passively coping, it seemed that the Heaven Replenishment Pill in this ghost city must be obtained by himself, otherwise as long as a crossbow arrow appears behind his back, according to Qin Chuan's current martial arts cultivation, it will not be able to dodge.
Those who do not plan for the long term will die tomorrow.
If you want to enter the ghost market, you must buy some black robes and masks, otherwise you will be recognized, even if you are lucky enough to get the treasures of heaven and earth, you will be chased by people who will covet them and plunder them. Besides, Lao Dao doesn't know where he went, so if he doesn't prepare in advance, it's not good to delay the time.
Qin Chuan thought that the Taoist robe before him didn't fit, it must be the so-called century-old brand that deceived himself, took the things returned by others and sold them as new products, this unscrupulous traitor agreed to make him look good! Moreover, although he has not yet condensed the real Empty Mountain and Danhai, when it comes to the kung fu of escaping, Qin Chuan is not inferior to those strong martial arts cultivators.
Qin Chuan is a road idiot, and asked pedestrians to learn the location of Silk Village, which is located in Jinyi Lane in Dongcheng. This is the gathering place of cloth and satin merchants, and after years of development, it is also a place where Qingzhou City is full of people, and many weddings, funerals, etc., order clothes here. The shopkeeper of the field who died under the crossbow arrow before his death is said to have lived here during his lifetime.
This Jinyi Lane is named after a proverb: to be rich but not to return to the hometown, just like a brocade at night, and like a beautiful woman closing the door.
It is said that a general who fought on the battlefield in the previous dynasty, and when he had not yet fully made contributions, he wanted to return to his hometown with gold, silver and jewelry. Some people persuaded that it was better to take advantage of the good situation to expand a few more inches of territory, but the general said that he had already achieved this and could be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, so why should he risk the danger to gallop on the battlefield. If you don't let the parents and villagers at home know, it's like walking in the dark in gorgeous clothes, and having beautiful women but letting them stay out of the door is just a faΓ§ade in the eyes of others.
Therefore, the general immediately reined in his horse and returned to the court, entrenched in one side for several years, and finally died in a different place, and the beloved woman around him did not want to be humiliated by the pursuing soldiers, so he threw himself into the river and disappeared.
The literati bachelor of Qingcheng City, named Jinyi Lane after this, was originally intended to encourage himself not to be like the general, greedy for temporary pleasures, and ruined his good future. However, the merchants engaged in cloth and satin gathered more and more here, and gradually some people forgot the original purpose of this alley, and only bought the neon clothes.
After walking for half an hour, Qin Chuan arrived at Jinyi Lane, his body was gradually warmer, and his hands and feet were not as cold as before. Before Qin Chuan stepped into the alleyway, he glanced back again, but he didn't see any difference, pedestrians came and went on the street, peddlers and pawns shouted and sold, and several merchants carried rattles to pass by door to house, but no one stared at him.
But instinct told Qin Chuan that someone was following him in the dark. Since the condensation of the empty mountain and the Danhai, the perception of the environment is particularly keen, especially after fighting with the scar-faced old five, Qin Chuan is very familiar with the smell of danger.
Coming out of the Tongfu Inn, Qin Chuan felt that someone was following him several times, but he turned back several times, but he didn't recognize who it was, presumably the other party was also a master who was good at tracking, Ren Qinchuan deliberately went around a few more lanes, but still didn't lose it, and lurked himself perfectly in the crowd without showing it.
But Qin Chuan knew that the martial arts rivers and lakes were dangerous, and he had to guard against everything. The shopkeeper of this Tianji Silk Village can be killed by crossbow arrows in front of the four hunters above the temple, even in other prosperous places in Qingzhou City, it is inevitable that he will be remembered by thieves, thinking that there is no big mistake in being careful, seeing that he can't find the figure of that person, Qin Chuan kept an eye on it, and still walked into Jinyi Alley.
Looking at different signboards along the way and rejecting many enthusiastic shops, Qin Chuan finally found the Liujiju.
Walking into the store, I found that the six auspicious residences occupy a vast area, a typical pattern of the front store, the back home, there are dozens of guys in it, there are a lot of cloth, silk and other things hanging on the wall, from the cloth clothes to the clothes of the giant businessmen and rich people are all complete, and when Qin Chuan enters, there are already many groups of people here.
Since the autumn harvest, it is a good time for Qingzhou City to get married, many parents have chosen clothes for their children, and there are also many Qinggao scholars, who want to buy some things to resist the wind and cold, and do not want to go to Pingyangfang and other places to be looked down upon, so they came to this Liujiju.
And the six auspicious residences of Jinyi Lane, pay attention to auspicious days, auspicious celebrations, auspicious things, auspicious people, auspicious times, auspicious clothes, so it is named Liujiju, which has been opened in Jinyi Lane for dozens of years, and many people in Qingzhou City are willing to buy clothes here.
Seeing Qin Chuan walking into Liujiju, a servant immediately came to greet him: "This young master, do you want to spend the winter, or do you want to make a few new clothes." The price of our Liujiju is fair, and many people in Qingzhou City will come here to buy. This little guy was wearing an ordinary cloth like Qin Chuan, and said expressionlessly.
It seems that Liujiju is also a strict hierarchy, like this kind of small house, is to receive people like Qin Chuan who are dressed in ordinary clothes, and those guys who are wearing brocade clothes, wearing sachets around their waists, and have pleasant faces, are fighting with a group of graceful and luxurious women at the moment, and seeing Qin Chuan wearing ordinary cloth clothes, he just glanced at it from a distance, and he was busy with the guests at hand.
Seeing this little guy, Qin Chuan was angry. This little guy was the one who sold Qin Chuan's wide robe before, and Qin Chuan asked without changing his face: "Little brother, do you recognize me?"
Hearing Qin Chuan's words, the little guy thought that he must have been here, so he said with a smile: "I said that this young master looks familiar, and he must have been here many times in our Liujiju." You're so eye-catching, you even recognize me. Haha, you are a regular customer, you can pick up this clothing casually, and you will definitely be given a discount or two. β
Qin Chuan put on his face at this moment and said: "It's good to recognize it, a month ago, I made a set of Taoist robes here with you, the size is a lot larger, and the clothes are very ill-fitting, presumably selling the clothes returned by others to me, you really insulted the name of Liujiju for a hundred years." β
"Dao robe?" Hearing Qin Chuan say Dao robe, this little guy seemed to remember, it seemed that this little Dao boy had indeed bought a Dao robe in his hand.
Liujiju is mainly engaged in people's clothing, and occasionally sells some customized robes. The number of Taoist temples in Qingzhou City is not large, so I can't make a few Taoist robes in a year. Seeing that this little Taoist boy was familiar with before, this little guy thought that one of the several Taoist robes sold this year was because the new garment guy had seen the wrong size and made it bigger, so it was returned by the old customer. I wanted to invalidate this robe, but who knew that a little Taoist boy happened to be about to order a Taoist robe, so the little guy had a little calculation in his heart, and took advantage of the fact that the little Taoist boy came alone and gave him this robe, and this little guy happened to secretly make a sum of money.
Thinking that the Dao robe is bigger, the clothes cost are more, and it is not a loss to sell it so cheaply to the little Dao boy in front of him. Even if you think the clothes are too big, you can also wear them to those old Taoists in the Taoist temple, and if you really can't do it, you can also change the size to a smaller size. Therefore, after this little guy sold his robe, he did not feel the slightest guilt.
Hearing Qin Chuan talk about the robe, this little guy was a little anxious, after all, this robe was not recorded in the account, but entered his private hands, so he opened his mouth and said: "Your Excellency has come to the wrong place, right? Our Liujiju has never said that it is a century-old brand, don't you spew blood! Could it be that you bought a Taoist robe from other places, but you came here to deceive us? As far as I know, there are places in Qingzhou City, such as Liuguju, and the signboard is similar to our Liujiju, you have to see it clearly." β
In Qingzhou City and other places, the wind of counterfeiting prevails, after the reputation of these six auspicious residences is abundant, I don't know who opened a few six ancient residences in Jinyi Lane, if you just look at the signboard, there are indeed nine points of similarity. There are outsiders who come to Liujiju in Jinyi Lane, but they didn't think about it, but they went to Liuguju, and the clothes they bought are often not satisfactory, but they come back to return and exchange goods in Liujiju, which makes people cry and laugh.
There are only slight differences between the signboards of Liujiju and Liuguju, and if Qin Chuan admits that he is wrong, it is forgivable.
The guy who was receiving the group of women before also came over, frowned and said, "This young master, you should have gone to the wrong store, our Liuji Juke has never said that it is a century-old brand." I probably felt that Qin Chuan's voice had become louder, which affected the mood of the group of women, this guy only wanted to drive Qin Chuan away as soon as possible, looking at his dress, it seemed that he was a person from outside Qingzhou City, but he was not afraid that he would come to the door.
When Qin Chuan heard this, he stared at the signboard behind him and said, "Look at this signboard, isn't it written on it?" It turned out that behind the guy, there was indeed a sign hanging, on which for some reason people wrote the words 'Hundred Years of Silk Village Liujiju', Qin Chuan originally thought that the century-old brand would definitely not pit himself, but he still sold other people's returned things to himself, and the size did not fit.
The guy looked at the signboard, smiled and said, "Master, you have to see it clearly." β
Qin Chuan squinted his eyes and glanced at it, and secretly scolded the profiteer in his heart, it turned out that there was a line of small words before the hundred-year-old silk village, in order to do his best to become a ......
It turns out that the words on this plaque are: Do your best to become a century-old silk village, six auspicious residences. It's just that the words on it are very small, and if you don't look at it slightly, you won't recognize it.
Seeing this, the little guy from before also made up his mind not to admit it: "This young master, you said that you bought it at our Liuji residence, but I remember that in the accounts, within a month, there was no Taoist robe for sale, you must have misremembered." And our Liujiju has been established for decades, this robe is a business that does not make money, and we want to make a good relationship, so the silver money sold will not be too expensive, and we don't need to smash our own signboard for those few taels of silver. β
This little guy said with a clear eye, righteous words, as if Qin Chuan was a scoundrel boy who wanted to come here to blackmail Liujiju. Therefore, the group of women next to him also frowned, and one of them even opened his mouth and scolded: "Where did you come from called Hanako, it disturbs our mood, if you want to blackmail the shopkeeper, you don't look at what day it is." Anger us, you just wait to go to jail. β
"Yes, what is the use of this group of miscellaneous old Taoists, weddings and funerals are not on the table, and the Taoist temples in this city are even more dilapidated, how can there be such a grand scene when the dynasty opened. Another woman spoke.
Listening to this woman's words, two strong men outside the door began to come in and look at Qin Chuan, who seemed to be the guards of this group of women. Looking at the clothes of these people and the iron knives they wear, they seem to be people in the temple.
The previous crossbow arrow was still pierced in Qin Chuan's heart, and seeing that this group of women were chirping crookedly, they couldn't take any advantage of their tongues, so Qin Chuan stood there in a daze, and said to the little guy: "I can't admit my mistake, you sold it to me that day." β
Seeing that Qin Chuan was so stubborn, this little guy also became anxious: "What about the robe?
