Chapter 108: Love is like a flower in a mirror
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man sitting at a table next to him, a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, his body was full of alcohol, and his face was reddish because of excessive alcohol.
"Do you know me?" the man smiled dejectedly, regardless of whether Zhang Hao and the others answered, and continued: "My name is Ma Zhongde, and I am from Majia Village, a hundred miles east of Mohe City. Married to Xiaoyu in the next village, the two of us have grown up together since childhood, and it can be said that they are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses. I thought that she and I would live happily ever after.
Unexpectedly, when we came to Mohe City, she ran away with a fat man who had a house in Mohe City. Just because that fat man has a 60-square-meter house in Mohe City, she ran away with someone else! it, I thought I would be with her for the rest of my life!"
Judging from Ma Zhongde's depressed and angry appearance, Zhang Hao could see that he really liked that Xiaoyu.
But if it's really the same as Ma Zhongde said, Xiaoyu ran away with others because of a 60-square-meter house, then this Xiaoyu is not worth it.
A 60-square-meter house doesn't cost much spirit stones, and the house is much cheaper than the shop, and the shop sells for two or three thousand per square meter in a remote area, while the price of the house is less than 1,000.
In other words, the total price of a sixty-square-meter house is fifty or sixty thousand spirit stones.
Because of fifty or sixty thousand spirit stones, she gave up her fingertips to marry a childhood sweetheart, this woman's approach is indeed not very good.
However, Zhang Hao also knew that although fifty or sixty thousand spirit stones were not much, for an ordinary foundation-building monk, it was completely an astronomical amount, and even many Xuanye monks did not have ten thousand spirit stones in their entire net worth.
"Brother, it's your fault to do this!" Sun Hu said: "There is no grass at the end of the world, why bother to love a flower." That woman abandoned you because of a suite, and that's because she has no eyes! You should work hard and show her some results. That fat man can have a small house of 60 square meters, and you will make a whole 600 square meter one, and she will regret her death!"
"Hehe......" Ma Zhongde stood up, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "It's too difficult." I can't afford six square meters, let alone six hundred square meters. My cultivation is low, and my talent is not very good. What are you going to fight......"
With that, Ma Zhongde was about to walk out of the tavern.
Zhang Hao originally didn't take this Ma Zhongde to heart, after all, in Nuoda Mohe City, there must be more than one person like Ma Zhongde, and there are even a few people who are more pitiful and miserable than him.
Zhang Hao is not a savior, and it is impossible to see one to help another.
But at the moment when Ma Zhongde turned around, Zhang Hao suddenly stood up.
"Wait!" Zhang Hao shouted.
Ma Zhongde turned around again, and looked at Zhang Hao with a slightly drunk look: "What's the matter?"
Zhang Hao took out a few messenger talismans from his body, handed them to Ma Zhongde, and said, "If you believe me, come to me in a month." I'll give you a chance to turn over!"
Ma Zhongde glanced up and down at Zhang Hao in disbelief, grabbed the messenger talisman handed over by Zhang Hao, stuffed it into his pocket indiscriminately, and then left the tavern without looking back.
"Brother Hao, this guy seems to be treating you as a liar!"
After Ma Zhongde left, Sun Hu laughed jokingly.
Zhang Hao smiled helplessly, "Then it's up to him...... If he believes me, come to me. I'll give him a chance. If he doesn't do it properly, then he can only blame himself!"
"Brother, let's think about ourselves. We don't have enough money to buy a shop now, and we don't have a guarantor ...... for leasing!" Zhang Ling'er said.
Sun Hu said: "Ling'er, don't worry about this, Brother Hao will definitely have a way." Xue Ning, you said yes. ”
Song Xuening didn't say much, and when Sun Hu asked, she just nodded.
But there is no doubt that in Song Xuening's heart, he naturally trusts Zhang Hao very much.
"Little Huzi, I found out that you will be slapping my brother's ass now. No wonder your cultivation has fallen behind me and my sister. Zhang Linger said with a smile.
Sun Hu looked helpless and said, "Can I compare with you? What kind of talent am I, what kind of talent are you?"
"Haha...... All right. Watching Sun Hu and Zhang Ling'er fighting, Zhang Hao couldn't help laughing, "Full of wine and food, it's time to work!"
"What kind of work?" asked Sun Hu with a curious expression.
"Just follow me and you'll know!" Zhang Hao sold.
......
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Hao and the others came to a downtown area.
This is a downtown area in Mohe City, where there are not many shops, most of them are vendors.
There are a variety of stalls along the road, and everything for sale is also available.
However, in this kind of place, most of the things sold are not of good quality, and they are commonly known as street stalls.
And most of the people who shop in the downtown are the lowest-level monks in Mohe City.
"Brother, what do you mean...... You want to set up a stall here?" Zhang Ling'er pointed to this place.
"This is the last way, and if there's really no way, we'll start here. Zhang Hao nodded.
"Okay!" Zhang Ling'er jumped up happily, "I like to set up a stall the most, let me help you look at the stall in the future!"
"I can too, brother, I'm a good hand at selling things!" Sun Hu volunteered.
"Haha...... Let's talk about it. This is the last way to go, if you can't find a guarantor. Let's set up a stall here!" Zhang Hao said.
"Let's start now. Starting from setting up a stall, I believe that we will soon have a shop of our own in Mohe City!" Zhang Ling'er said a little impatiently, looking geared up.
"Let's go visit an old friend first!" Zhang Hao said with a smile.
Zhang Hao naturally thought of Yue Chonglou, Yue Chonglou had helped Zhang Ling'er and a few people when he was in Tongyun Hotel, and Yue Chonglou also said that if Zhang Hao went to Mohe City, he would go to him.
Zhang Hao knew that Yue Chonglou was not the kind of person who just talked about it, Yue Chonglou's character was very real.
Half an hour later, after asking passers-by a few times, Zhang Hao finally found the City Lord's Mansion.
I have to say that the City Lord's Mansion is indeed luxurious to a level that can no longer be luxurious.
The white marble wall stretches for several kilometers, and the dragon and phoenix are carved on the wall.
As for things like gold and jewelry, they can be found everywhere, gold bricks are only used as bases, and jewelry is only embellishment, of course, these are the most common materials.
Fairy pineapple wood, ancient sandalwood, thousand-year-old star-striped cypress, and other high-priced and almost extravagant fairy materials are also used as building materials.
For example, the thousand-year-old star-patterned cypress is an excellent material for refining flying swords, but at this time, it is only used to build small pavilions and eaves for decoration on the city wall.
As for the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, it was actually a whole piece of ancient sandalwood divided into two parts to make two gates.
This alone was not enough to surprise Zhang Hao.
What really moved Zhang Hao was that this piece of ancient sandalwood actually contained a natural spirit gathering formation.
That's pretty remarkable.
Although the Spirit Gathering Formation is not such a clever thing.
However, there are not many natural spirit gathering formations, and it can even be said that there are very few.
As for such a huge piece of wood with a natural spirit gathering array on it, it is even rarer, and it can almost be described as a peerless treasure.
As for the spirit gathering array on the ancient sandalwood, its symbolic meaning has far exceeded the role of the spirit gathering array itself.
Generally speaking, the Spirit Gathering Array means absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but if it grows on natural things, it also means that it can absorb blessings.
Such a large piece of ancient sandalwood is an excellent quality for making the gate, and supplemented by a natural spirit gathering array, this is completely amazing.
Zhang Hao can be sure that even in the immortal realm, such a mansion door is definitely extremely magnanimous.
Moreover, it is definitely the master builder who made this gate.
Not only did it cut the two door leaves perfectly, but it also perfectly preserved the entire Spirit Gathering Array.
Just as Zhang Hao was looking at the luxurious gate of the City Lord's Mansion, a carriage drawn by eight jade dragons rushed to the carriage, and in front of and behind the carriage, four guards riding one-horned jade rhinoceros followed.
All the way to the city lord's mansion, the momentum was extraordinary, rushing towards the city lord's mansion.
"Calling ......"
As they approached the City Lord's Mansion, the mighty procession slowed down.
Among them, one of the attendants who rushed to the front looked at Zhang Hao, and shouted coldly: "This is the City Lord's Mansion, and the idle people are waiting to leave quickly!"
Zhang Hao's expression was calm, and he raised his head and said, "I'm looking for Yue Chonglou, the third prince of the City Lord's Mansion!"
Hearing that Zhang Hao was looking for the third prince of the City Lord's Mansion, the attendant was slightly stunned, jumped off the one-horned jade rhino and bowed to the carriage drawn by the eight jade dragons.
"Let's just say that Sanshao is not there. Let him go!" came an indifferent man's voice from inside the carriage.
Hearing this voice, Zhang Hao frowned slightly, he felt that this voice was too similar to Yue Chonglou's voice.
However, Zhang Hao did not believe that this person was Yue Chonglou.
"Get out of here. The third young lord is not in the city lord's mansion. After the attendant returned to the one-horned jade rhino, he waved impatiently at Zhang Hao.
"Yue Chonglou is not here?" Zhang Hao frowned slightly, and said, "Then I don't know when he will come back?"
"How can we know the timing of the third young master? If it weren't for the face of the third young master, you would have been beaten to death long ago if you were so verbose. Hurry up!" the squire scolded again.
Zhang Hao's brows furrowed even tighter, but he didn't say anything more, but stepped aside.
The carriage then also drove into the City Lord's Mansion, and just as the carriage entered the City Lord's Mansion, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a face from inside.
Seeing this face, Zhang Hao's heart sank to the bottom and froze.
If this person is not Yue Chonglou, who is it?
When Zhang Hao heard that voice just now, he only felt that it was very similar to Yue Chonglou's voice, but he didn't think it was Yue Chonglou's.
But seeing Yue Chonglou's face at this time, Zhang Hao knew that he was wrong.
"That's not right!" Zhang Hao carefully recalled the whole process of getting to know Yue Chonglou, if Yue Chonglou was a cold-hearted person, he would not take the initiative to stand up and help him when he was at the Tongyun Hotel.
I won't be willing to give a small transfer charm to myself!
But why did Yue Chonglou turn a blind eye to him and turn him away this time?
