107, profit from the first
The matter is over on Wu Zhong's side, but it is not so smooth in other places. And the most bizarre one belongs to the big brother of the Indian flying carpet who plays with mud in the Northeast - Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin's background is a typical northeasterner, but he later joined the Xiao family by chance and became a member of the firm. Although the Wang clan attacked this time, and there were people chasing and killing, the other party did not do it on purpose. It's just that I'm bored and have some fun, and by the way, I will make another trip to my opponent. Otherwise, Wu Zhong would not have ended the battle so simply.
This eldest brother from the Northeast has a personality charm unique to the Northeast - self-cooked. And the other party didn't really want to kill him, but one had to run and the other had to chase. It's not like it's a show, but it's really not life and death.
Along the way, Brother Zhang Lin gave full play to his familiar personality charm, and with his broken mouth, he didn't annoy the other party to death along the way.
"What's your name, big brother?"
"Big brother, who are you?"
"Big brother, you said that we have no enmity, what are you doing in a hurry? Why don't you sit down and talk?"
"Big brother... ”
Such "big brother" style questions asked the other party all the way, which is really boring and smoky. Originally, he could completely shield the other party's divine sense, but his cultivation was low, not as good as Zhang Lin, so it was useless. I had the intention to kill him, but I couldn't catch up with other people's flying carpets, and I didn't have any weapons such as longbows on my side. This really made Zhang Lin's opponent depressed enough, and finally pointed at his nose and scolded him, and then turned to leave.
Zhang Lin was confused, he was kindly afraid that he would be bored, and he talked to him to relieve his boredom, but in the end, it was his own fault? You're angry, I'm angry too! So Zhang Lin flew towards Jinling.
Not long after, he met Wu Zhong, who had already finished the battle, and hurriedly flew to his side, and invited him to sit on the flying carpet with him.
Wu Zhong was also very happy to see that Zhang Lin was safe and sound, so the two flew towards Jinling while chatting.
"Look at you like this, do you do it with others?" Zhang Lin asked.
Wu Zhong nodded: "It did waste some effort, but in the end, the other party escaped." ”
Zhang Lin shrugged his shoulders when he heard this: "Look at you, you have nothing to do, in the end, it was a toss, and there was nothing." ”
"You didn't fight with the other party?" Wu Zhong asked curiously.
"Fighting?" Zhang Lin snorted, "No one talks to me, as if I am too ugly to waste a word." After speaking, he touched his face, "So handsome, it's their loss not to talk to me." ”
Wu Zhong was speechless for a while, when will this narcissistic guy stop.
"I wonder what happened to the others?" Wu Zhong said.
Zhang Lin waved his hand: "Don't think about it, it is estimated that you will do it on your side, and the older generation of people may drink tea." ”
Wu Zhong was even more puzzled: "Why do you say that?" So Zhang Lin told the situation of the matter, and Wu Zhong analyzed it, and there was some truth. But Xiao Zhongqing on his side and Wang Yongchang on the other side are both masters of the older generation, if they really drink tea or something, and put their own family interests aside, it is really unimaginable.
In fact, at this time, Xiao Zhongqing and Wang Yongchang were fighting happily in an unknown place.
After a little while, the two finally came to Jinling, and finally in order to hide people's eyes, they fell into the clouds before entering the city and escaped into the city with soil.
Entering the city, Wu Zhong followed Zhang Lin to an old building, looking at this building that was obviously the seventies and eighties of the last century, Wu Zhong was puzzled, what was the purpose of coming here?
Zhang Lin didn't explain, but swaggered into an alley, and finally pulled Wu Zhong and suddenly disappeared.
Before Wu Zhong could react, he felt that the light around him flashed, and the surrounding aura changed greatly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a street like an ancient city, and a huge archway stood on it: Heavenly Street.
Not only can you see the monks coming and going, but also the demon clan, the ghost cultivator, and even the crowd that Wu Zhong can't call, and finally Zhang Lin whispered to him that it was the spirit clan, a person who specializes in using soul cultivation.
The two of them came to a long street next to it, this long street could not be seen at a glance, and they could not find the edge under their divine sense, and they really didn't know how big this street was.
"Heavenly Street is the place where major families and sects rely on to survive. The place where you were before belonged to the family, or the base area, which was the root and foundation of the development of a party's power. And here, it is the extension of power and the embodiment of the strength of the family. Don't look at this Tianjie is so big, but in fact, it is controlled by the top families, 80% of which are the forces of these families, and the other 20% are those small and medium-sized forces. The top resources of society are still in the hands of those of us. And the first half of this street is the Wang family, and the second half is the territory of our Xiao family. Zhang Lin said.
Wu Zhong looked along the street, there were indeed a lot of people on this street, and there were many shops, and there were people doing all kinds of voices, but the territory of the Wang family and the Xiao family was clearly distinguished, and they did not interfere with each other, and it did not look like they had a grudge at all.
After all, everyone wants to make money in harmony! As for what happens behind the scenes, that's another matter.
Zhang Lin took Wu Zhong from south to north, and Wu Zhong found that the objects operated by the two shops were almost the same, and it was estimated that this was the result of competition. However, Zhang Lin finally explained the situation.
"Although we and the Wang family contain similar types, the focus is still different. For example, our focus is on all kinds of precious magic weapons, while the other party is a rare medicinal material. There is competition in other areas, but it doesn't hurt. ”
It turns out that the trade-offs between these families are not much different from the relationship between countries.
Zhang Lin took Wu Zhong for a long walk, and finally returned to the headquarters of the Xiao Chamber of Commerce-Jichangzhai. As soon as he entered, he was stopped by the Xiao family who was guarding the perimeter, Zhang Lin hurriedly stepped forward to explain, and then let the two in. After that, I went through several levels before I really entered the interior.
At this time, he came up and thought that he was a young man, who had a handsome and cold face, sharp eyes, and a look that was not good at words.
"Briefing. ”
Zhang Lin rarely put on a serious expression: "Zhang Lin, in the twenty-third period, returned to the Xiao clan with Elder Xiao Zhongqing, and then followed the elder back, and met the Wang clan on the way. The accompanying person, Wu Zhong, a new recruit, Xiao Shiyu's second disciple of Hui Shibo, was invited by Xiao Ping's second son to come to the firm. ”
The man listened to Zhang Lin's words and slowly turned his head to look at Wu Zhong. Wu Zhong only felt that he was suddenly irradiated by X-rays, and there was no secret in his body. But at the last moment, a force suddenly flashed in his body and stopped the other party.
The man looked at Wu Zhong with interest: "Interesting." Then he waved his hand, and you come in.
Wu Zhong glanced at the other party, and then followed Zhang Lin in. But the other party stared at Wu Zhong's back, thoughtful.
With the return of the two, others returned. Sure enough, as Zhang Lin said, it was no big deal, everyone was the only one who was embarrassed, which couldn't help but make him sigh. Everyone gathered in one place, and after the tea effort, Xiao Zhongqing and Xiao Ping, one of the Big Three, walked in, and when they saw that everyone was fine, they were secretly relieved. It's just that Xiao Zhongqing, who fought with Wang Yongchang, was a little embarrassed, and his coat was torn in many places.
When encountering something like this, as always, there will be some words of encouragement and comfort, and everyone is used to listening to it, but just like a class meeting held by the head teacher, you must continue to listen. At the end of the meeting, Xiao Ping walked out with Wu Zhong, followed by the two of them, as well as Xiao Zhongqing.
The three of them walked for a long time, and finally came to a hidden dark room, Wu Zhong was still confused, but Xiao Ping said to him: "Take out your Qiankun bag." ”
Wu Zhong was even more puzzled when he heard this, what is going on, is there such a routine thing as entering the Chamber of Commerce? Wu Zhong wanted to open his mouth to ask about the situation, but he saw Xiao Zhongqing's serious face, and the invisible pressure in the room hit him, so he had to take out the Qiankun bag and show the contents one by one. The things inside, whether they were magic weapons, pills, books, or things sent by Xiao Ping, were all displayed.
When Xiao Ping saw these things, he went straight to the gifts he had given, and finally saw a brocade box, and finally felt relieved, and immediately solemnly handed it over to Xiao Zhongqing's hands.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhongqing didn't say a word, and turned to leave. And Xiao Ping looked at Wu Zhong excitedly, making Wu Zhong even more confused.
However, confused and confused, Xiao Ping did not open his mouth to explain, but turned around and left. Wu Zhong realized at this time that he had become someone else's courier without knowing it. It's still the kind that doesn't have a courier fee.
Walking out of this room, Wu Zhong looked at the busy people around him, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.
That's what it all looks like.
At night, Wu Zhong was assigned to a dormitory, and everyone in the dormitory happened to be someone he knew well-Zhang Lin.
"The two of us are fated to be together, and the dormitories are all together. Zhang Lin said with a smile.
Wu Zhong said: "I didn't even know that there was such a thing as a dormitory, how could it be like going back to school?"
Zhang Lin said with a smile: "This place is just a temporary residence, if you don't like it, you can rent a house outside like everyone else." ”
"Renting a house?" Wu Zhong was immediately happy when he heard this, how is this no different from the world, I think that at the beginning, the classmates around him went out to rent a house during the postgraduate entrance examination, but most of these people just wasted financial resources, and their energy was saved quite well.
"Don't underestimate renting a house, there is also knowledge in it. Zhang Lin said with a serious face, "Renting a house is not only a matter of location, but also a prerequisite that can ensure your safety." ”
Wu Zhong was puzzled.
Zhang Lin explained: "Renting a house, in the eyes of those of us, is not in the heavenly street, but in the world. Have you ever wondered why there is no war or even a seizure of power when there is such a big power gap between the monastic and secular worlds?"
Wu Zhong shook his head. It's not that he hasn't thought about this question, but he hasn't really figured it out. Think about it, if you have absolute strength, will you stoop to the dark place and not go to the light?
