Chapter 033: Xianmen is unreliable
was pitted with hundreds of catties of gold, and stayed in this 'magic barter' shop to work, and also ran errands for the old profiteer and went out to solicit customers......
It's really ......
Young, can't stand the fool.
In the afternoon of this day, Zhou Zhou moved a table, sat next to the erection plaque of the 'magic barter', leaned over the table, and enjoyed the warm sunshine. The tattered robe on his body was also replaced by a coarse cloth shirt, and he looked like a thin young man, the kind of coolie.
The changed robe was placed in Qu Yuan's bag by him, which was a pile of cloth strips with great commemorative value.
Lying there, he sorted out his brain circuits, and always felt that he was being pitted by the old man in the store...... As a time-traveling being from the afterlife, he seems to be ...... It's a bit of a shame for modern people......
Fortunately, the angel girl didn't come out of the egg, and I didn't see his current predicament.
The registered disciple of the dignified Xuandu ** master, the disciple and grandson of the Shangqing sage Lao Tzu, actually wanted to mix into the lowest, most narrow and dilapidated shop in this kind of desolation......
Well, he is quiet and inactive, and he is at peace with what happens.
Thinking about it like this, I didn't have any entanglement in my heart, even if Xuandu suddenly appeared in front of him, I had a reason.
Why did Zhou Zhou solicit customers in front of this store? The cause of the incident can be traced back a few days......
That's not it, he entered this 'black spot' to sell magic weapons, and took the opportunity to talk to the old man in charge of the shopkeeper.
When the old man accidentally said, 'I earned you more than 300 catties of gold', although Zhou Zhou was not really angry, he was unwilling to be treated as a monkey like this.
When he first sold the magic weapon, he counted six catties of gold less, and he turned a blind eye, so when this old man likes to take advantage of a small advantage, he doesn't have to care too much about this fraction.
But the sentence 'more than 300 catties' fell into his ears, and after Zhou Zhou felt that his IQ was underestimated, he was ridiculed by the other party!
I knew that you, an old man, would hack yourself, but I didn't expect it to be so black! The total price should be more than 400 catties of gold, but he was only given 120 catties of gold!
What's even worse is that this old man said it triumphantly!
My aunt can bear it, but my sister-in-law can't bear it either!
Zhou Zhou rolled up his sleeves, slapped the table, grabbed the old man's collar, and lifted the thin old man in front of him. Although his gaze was not murderous, it was also full of ferocity, and it seemed that he was about to break the old man's head if he didn't agree with him.
"Buying and selling is buying and selling, but there is still a bottom line, right?" Zhou Zhou said coldly.
"Guests, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, what I just gave you is already a regular price, there are four shops in this city, they are all darker than me!"
The old man was also panicked, and from the few magic weapons that Zhou Zhou had just taken out, and the traces of the knife cuts on his robe, he concluded that this young man was ...... Not a good stubble.
Zhou Zhou thought in his heart, he didn't want to cause trouble, not to mention that the other party was just a spiritual Taoist, and his body was dilapidated and aging, and he didn't have a few years to live. Throwing the old man on the table, he hummed: "Then you give me two hundred catties of gold, and I won't embarrass you." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll make it up, don't do it, Daoyou."
The old man let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes began to roll, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Daoyou just now, I have been asking about the apprenticeship, do you want to find a sect to take refuge?" ”
Zhou Zhou had a cold face: "What does it have to do with you?" ”
"Hey! The little old man's cultivation is low, but he has also been mixed in this market for more than 100 years, and his ability to recognize things and argue is also a little famous in this market. ”
Although, the old man's smiling expression was a little underwhelming in Zhou Zhou's eyes; But what the old man said made Zhou Zhou a little moved.
The old guy's smile became brighter and brighter, and he said, "I also know a few monks from the Daoist sect who often come to my side to learn magic weapons, and I can still give some help to my fellow Daoists in this matter." ”
Although Zhou Zhou was a little reluctant to be cheated by the old man like this, he nodded after thinking about it a little......
Then, he was abducted and deceived by this old man, and not only did he not get the difference in the price of two hundred catties of gold, but he also had to work as a handyman for the old man here for some time, and wait to see if there were any monks who knew the old man well.
If it weren't for finding a way to cultivate the Taoist sect, how could Zhou Zhou endure the bullying and oppression of this old guy?
In the past few days, the old man has been calling him around, sweeping the floor and moving things, and he has to go to drink and buy vegetables!
The point is, the money for this wine and food is still from him!
He's in the late stage of the Dao Fusion Realm! This old man is just an old monk in the middle of his spiritual sense!
Although in the eyes of the great power and the immortal Buddha, these two realms are no different from mortals......
The old man's surname is Shen.
When the two of them were drinking last night, Old Man Shen was in tears, telling about his failed life of cultivating immortals and seeking the Tao.
Old man Shen was born in a mundane fishing village, and when he was seven years old, he dug up a palm-sized jade fragment on the beach, with two words on it, 'seeking truth', and he firmly believed that he had obtained the fairy fate. This child, who always listens to the stories of immortals moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, and immortality, has made up his ambition to cultivate immortals from this way.
At the age of eleven, he ran out of the village, met several teenagers with a similar orientation, and went north together...... After three years of walking, overcoming all kinds of hardships and obstacles, I finally reached the border of Middle-earth. Along the way, the team of several teenagers has expanded to dozens of people, men, women and children, all of whom have their dreams of seeking immortals.
But when they stepped out of the world and entered the edge of Middle-earth, the spirits, demons, wicked bandits along the way, and even encountered monks who took the soul of people and flesh and blood to refine evil weapons......
There are many dangers and obstacles in the search for immortals, one step at a time.
Finally, their group of companions, only four or five people remained, standing in front of the mountain gate of a monastic sect.
"Qualifications, qualifications, several times almost died, a few of us, but because of mediocre qualifications, no apprenticeship, we can't enter the mountain gate. It's ridiculous, hahaha......" Old man Shen laughed with tears, or rather, he laughed while crying.
Later, Old Man Shen wandered around this remote territory for a few years, and tried four or five small sects, but they were all swept away.
Old man Shen couldn't stop his tears when he said this, and Zhou Zhou, who had tasted the Honghuang liquor for the first time, was also blushing and thick-necked, and couldn't help but scold these mountain gates.
It's not that I'm scolding the saints, Taoist ancestors, and great powers, but I complain a few words about the Taoist sect in the small courtyard behind the store, and I'm not afraid of being listened to.
Later, the old man Shen, who was in his twenties, said goodbye to several companions and wanted to go all the way south to return to his hometown. Although there are other brothers and sisters in his family, he is a son of man but abandons his family, and he is always unfilial.
At that time, although Old Man Shen did not worship the Cultivation Sect, he had become strong and intelligent after years of trials and hardships, and he could take care of the family when he went back while he was young and strong.
But after ten years of searching for immortals, how can the word 'sad' be used to describe it?
When he wandered on the border of Middle-earth, he refused to set foot back on the boundary of Nanzhan Buzhou, and accidentally met a Jindan Daoist, who was the head of this Fang City. This person passed on his spiritual cultivation method, and also wished him the dream of cultivating immortals.
However, after starting to practice, the obsession in Old Man Shen's heart made him give up the idea of returning home.
Cultivating immortals and becoming enlightened is inseparable from the land of wealth and wealth.
Law and wealth are necessary conditions, and Old Man Shen has no sect protection, so he begs for evil, so he becomes a handyman in this 'thousand-year-old shop'. At that time, the shopkeeper was still a kind-hearted Dao Rong Realm monk, and he helped Old Man Shen a lot.
Speaking of sadness, Old Man Shen sighed with emotion: "You are young, and your qualifications are definitely stronger than mine, so you must find a sect to add to you." Even if you are a coolie or handyman in the sect, it is much better than casual cultivation...... I've endured this for the rest of my life. ”
"Didn't you think about going back and seeing your family again?" Zhou Zhou asked with a wine glass.
Seeing an old man crying in tears, he was always a little difficult to let go of in his heart.
"What is the difference between the spiritual realm and mortals? The young man was full of guts, and he came out with a stream of blood, dreaming of immortality, so he was not afraid of dangers along the way. But go back...... The older I get, the more I don't think about it. ”
Zhou Zhou was a little speechless, although he wanted to preach to this old man, but thinking that the other party was already one hundred and twenty or thirty years old, and there were countless hardships in his life, what qualifications did he have to preach?
Old man Shen has a home and doesn't want to go back, but he can't go back if he has a home.
After a night of drinking, Zhou Zhou was a little closer to the old man, although he always kept a straight face in front of the old man, and he often had a kind of inner restlessness that beat the old man.
……
"Cultivating the Tao is really full of disasters and difficulties." Zhou Zhou lay on the table and whispered, "Old man Shen said, as long as I can get customers, I will receive thirty percent of the rewards...... Let me save money for the apprenticeship. ”
How could Old Man Shen know that there were more than ten magic weapons in Zhou Zhouqu's Yuan Bag, and there were three 'Yuan Beads' of extraordinary value, which were actually not inferior to these gold.
The reason why Zhou Zhou stayed here was purely to wait here, waiting for the monks of the sect that Old Man Shen was familiar with to come and set up a way for himself.
In that way, Zhou Zhou can also save a lot of effort, let alone ask for help.
As a member of the Taiqing Daoist Sect and a disciple of the Xuandu ** Master, although he didn't have much pride in his heart, he didn't want to insult the master's name.
Ask? It's better to go with the flow.
As long as the first sect monk comes, it doesn't matter if he is a big door or a small door, Brother Jia is decided! If you can't go in to work or work as a coolie, you can have a door to be your heel and cover up your own peculiarities, and it doesn't matter what else you do......
In this way, he solicits customers or something, which is completely passive and slacking.
In the millennium shop, the shopkeeper was lying on the table in the house, and the guy was lying on the table at the door, and both of them were asleep.
Some mortal monks who passed by also felt quite strange to see this scene, but there were still no guests coming to the door.
Although the inside of the shop has been cleaned by Zhou Zhou several times, it can only be regarded as a 'clean and dilapidated shop', and the credibility of this small shop can be judged by the behavior of this old man Shen and Zhou Zhou...... It's definitely a miserable level.
What does this have to do with Zhou Zhou? He just waited here to see if any monks from the sect came.
"Boy," Old Man Shen shouted, "it's noon, so don't go buy some food." Beware of starving me, no one will introduce you to the mountain gate! ”
"Brother, I just see that you are old and have nothing to rely on, and pity you." The corners of Zhou Zhou's mouth twitched, and he reluctantly got up and walked to the small restaurant not far away. On the way, I couldn't help muttering a few words, cursing this old man for falling into the dung pit or something......
In the past few days, he has also eaten some meals from the restaurant in this city, which are all ordinary fruits and vegetables, rare spiritual objects, and they are always a little unpalatable to eat.
Meat, without the tender taste of a spirit animal; Rice, the one in the valley is full...... That's it, you can still drink some of this wine. The price of wine and food is not expensive, and gold is also calculated in two, unlike the magic utensils, which are all 'catty'.
After playing some wine and food, and asking for pen, ink and paper from the shopkeeper of the spiritual realm of the restaurant that he was already familiar with, Zhou Zhou also had some fun.
It's a bit boring to sit here every day to absorb vitality and forge a Dao body.
Brush writing, he has not practiced; However, it is very simple to use the water control trick to control the ink and 'cloth' a few lines of words on the white paper. Zhou Zhou uses simplified Chinese characters, and also imitates the writing style of ancient books, writing in vertical lines from right to left.
Should read accessibility.
'Our store receives:
Second-hand magic weapon, second-hand magic weapon, second-hand spiritual root, second-hand little sister, senior sister, second-hand shopkeeper's wife.
If the quantity is large, the price is good, and you want to sell it as soon as possible. ’
Holding the paperweight stone and pressing the paper and letting it float in front of the table, Zhou Zhou leaned down with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.
It's boring to make a joke, it shouldn't be ...... Cause trouble......
Inside and outside the store, the shopkeeper and the guys fell asleep again, and this small store was still unattended.
……
After staying for a few more days, there was still no monk from the sect to visit, and Zhou Zhou only lay there and pretended to be dead every day to practice, but also wandered around the streets.
The words he wrote did not bring half of the customers to the shop, but were glared at by several friars passing by.
Zhou Zhou also probably figured out the rules of Fang City, fighting and fighting are prohibited in Fang City, and there is another Jin Dan Sanxiu in charge, and it is still very peaceful and tranquil on weekdays.
Here, most of them are monks at the bottom of the monastic world, which is roughly similar to a mortal town, but a little different.
What's the difference?
Because these people can puff up their chests and say, they are monks!
"This kind of pride, why don't you have the slightest bit of it," Zhou Zhou muttered, his forehead resting on the table, and his body slowly absorbed the vitality of heaven and earth. Under the cover of the dead wood, the monks who passed by also thought that he was an ordinary young man, and few people would look at him twice.
Even if you look at it twice, one glance will be the kind of contempt that the 'monk' has for the 'mortal'......
The spiritual platform suddenly trembled slightly.
"Huh?" He looked up at the outside of the town, and a faint purple light slowly flew in, which seemed familiar.
Paper kites?
The paper kite flew slower and slower, as if looking for a target, but it was always close to Zhou Zhou. Many pedestrians on the street saw it and were talking about something, and even a famous monk wanted to take down the paper kite.
The paper kite suddenly accelerated, swept through a streamer, shot in front of Zhou Zhou, and flew around Zhou Zhou lightly a few times.
Zhou Zhou stretched out his hand, and the paper kite fell into the palm of his hand. Feeling the gazes of those who noticed it for the first time, Zhou Zhou was also a little speechless.
A few lines of words floated out of the paper kite, which was still a letter from Dongfang Yu'er, and the content was the same as that on the paper kite before.
She released more than one paper kite to find herself.
It's okay to have a heart, but ......
A somewhat arrogant shout sounded in his ears: "Hey, do you sell this paper kite?" ”
Dongfang Yu'er's physique that can always cause trouble for him has really not changed at all.
