Ziwei Imperial City, step sky tower.

Zhou Xing watched intently at the battle between Jiang Feng and Hu Yanli, and it wasn't until the battle ended and Jiang Feng withdrew that he shook his head and chuckled to withdraw his attention.

"Funny boy. ”

The old shopkeeper didn't know when he had come behind Zhou Xing, and only then did he bow his head and say respectfully: "The merchant has always respected no profit and no business, how can he make an exception for this young junior today?"

Zhou Xing grinned, and a pair of small eyes squinted in the horizontal flesh of his face like two thin slits, which were even more indistinguishable.

He patted the golden chair under him and turned it around, looked at the old shopkeeper and said, "Old man, you have been with me for many years, and you should know that there are thousands of ways to do business, and there is a business way called 'investment'." ”

The old shopkeeper bowed down and said, "The old slave understands. ”

Zhou Xing immediately took out a scroll and threw it to the old shopkeeper, who took it respectfully, took a cursory look, and said in surprise: "This is ...... Qiu Mian's information!"

Zhou Xing instructed: "Set this information to be sold at the price of a heaven-level commodity, and anyone can buy it, but Juxian Lou can't." ”

The old shopkeeper hesitated: "With Jiang Feng, no, with Qiu Mian's cultivation as the realm, is his intelligence priced at the Heavenly Rank, is it too expensive?"

Zhou Xing pouted and smiled, and snorted: "The higher I set the price, the more willing they are to buy it with a lot of money." ”

The old shopkeeper was ordered to retire, and Zhou Xing muttered to himself: "Investment is investment, and I always have to recover some interest first." ”

Zhou Xing didn't say anything more, turned his head to look at the shocking person who was far away from Butianlou in the distance, and muttered indistinctly: "Miss's plan ......"

......

Zhao Guo, Yongdi.

Out of the imperial capital along the official road, another 500 miles is the Zhao State in the territory of the prosperous enough to rank among the top five Ziyang County, on the way there is a simple facilities of the tea shop, for the past to come merchants, rangers, monks to stop and enjoy the cool.

There are two such tea shops along the way, which are far from each other and do not affect each other's business, but after all, they are only a temporary resting place, and there are only some coarse grain snacks in the tea shop, but fortunately, the herbal tea is quite authentic, and it is a good product to cool off.

At this time, under a birch tree not far from the tea shop, an old beggar in ragged clothes was leaning against the tree with his eyes closed, his cane in his hand was pestled on the ground, one end was on his right shoulder, and his left hand was spread upwards on his slightly bent left knee.

None of the passers-by ever glanced at the old beggar who sat on the side of the road and seemed to close his eyes at any moment, let alone give him some money.

The owner of the tea shop is close to the age of sixteen, he is a loyal and simple honest man, only knows some superficial qi training, qi cultivation kung fu, and has wanted to expel the old beggar several times, afraid that he will die outside his tea shop and ruin the business, but after all, he is a poor man who is hard to live, and the old beggar has not affected his business, so the boss has not done a ruthless thing.

Earlier, the boss also asked his nephew, who was with him to be a companion, to bring the old beggar two steamed buns and a bowl of coarse tea, and after the old beggar swallowed it, he began to sleep lifelessly under the tree until now.

When the sun begins to turn westward, it is the best time of the day for the small tea shop, and the travelers are willing to stop and drink a bowl of herbal tea, and then continue to rush after the sun has passed.

Sure enough, a plain-clothed woman wearing a delicate white jade mask and a slender figure was walking slowly from the fork in the road next to the pipe, and when she passed the old beggar, she saw that the unkempt old man was pitiful, and the woman bowed slightly and put a small brocade bag in the old beggar's left hand, which contained some silver coins.

When the plain-clothed woman took a few steps forward, the boss immediately greeted her and said attentively: "Girl, the weather is so hot today, why don't you rest, drink a bowl of herbal tea and leave!"

The plain-clothed woman stopped and thought for a while, silently bowed her head, and the clever young man immediately took off the rag on his shoulder, and wiped the wooden table and long wooden bench in front of the woman with a quick movement, and then respectfully invited the plain-clothed woman to take a seat.

Their uncle and nephew are almost no different from mortals, and they are engaged in a small business, and what they are most afraid of on weekdays is to entertain monks who do not seem to be good masters.

These people may not be very high in cultivation, but they like to shake their prestige in front of them ordinary people, and one accidentally annoys them, hurts people, and smashes the tea shop.

So over the years, the boss thinks that he has exercised some eyesight, and the mysterious girl wearing a mask in front of him must be a monk, but he should also be a friendly person, an ordinary monk, who cares about the life or death of an old beggar.

The plain-clothed woman paid more than enough silver money first, asked for a bowl of herbal tea, and asked for two steamed buns to ask the shopkeeper to wrap up, the boss is a kind person, and he was not in a hurry to take away the silver money on the table, but only said that the guest officer waited, served herbal tea first, prepared dry food, and then took away the silver money.

There are only nine guests in the tea shop, among which there are a few wandering loose cultivators, since the first appearance of this plain woman, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but feel excited, one of the five major young people in the world, the famous South China Sea Jade Guanyin, has always been shown in such an image.

The rumored Jade Guanyin of the South China Sea is mysterious and unpredictable, and it is beautiful and prestigious, but from beginning to end, only Zhao Yi, the prince of Zhao State, is fortunate to see his true face, and it is already a dream and unforgettable.

It's just that since the South China Sea Jade Guanyin became famous, many imitators have appeared in the cultivation world one after another, all of them have the same jade face and big image, among which there are sincere admirers, and there are also those who sell their fame and reputation, all of which are deliberately pretending to be false, but they can still often attract a lot of attention.

However, these impostors were stripped of their jade faces one after another, and even if there were good ones, they were far less amazing than the legends, and the cultivators gradually lost their enthusiasm for each similar person.

Just like these scattered cultivators in front of him, although he couldn't help but want to explore the authenticity behind the jade mask, he didn't act rashly after all.

If it is false, it is in vain that their enthusiasm is in vain, and their hopes will come to naught, and they will inevitably find themselves depressed; if it is true, with the prestige of the legendary Jade Guanyin of the South China Sea, they are so offended, and with their own little cultivation, they are afraid that they will only be afraid of death in the end.

They have traveled all over the world, there is no lack of knowledge and self-knowledge, if not, I am afraid that they will not know where their lives are, they do not think that the kindness of the South China Sea Jade Guanyin is still their presumptuous capital.

Therefore, even if you are curious, even if it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, it is better to have some good thoughts in your heart than to talk about nothing.

Just as the plain-clothed woman was stretching out her hand to lift the bowl and want to drink, a young man in brocade clothes and a fan walked slowly, stopped opposite the woman, and asked in a harmonious voice: "I am in a hurry on the next day, and the boat and car are tiring, I wonder if I can ask the girl for a bowl of herbal tea to quench my thirst?"

This person's voice was gentle and elegant, clear and beautiful, which made the listener unconsciously feel close, but before the plain-clothed woman could look up, her expression under the jade mask was already impatient.

Although the tea shop is not big, but there are still vacant seats at the moment, this person does not sit elsewhere, but he comes straight to her, the intention is obvious, such a man with ulterior motives to come to talk, she has met not a hundred but eighty, this method is really not new, has long made her deeply disgusted.

Just when the plain-clothed woman raised her head and was about to reject this richly dressed young man, her movements suddenly stagnated, and the person in front of her had a fair complexion, red lips and white teeth, which could be described as very elegant and handsome, but after a closer look, she realized that this person was actually a woman dressed as a man.

The handsome queen dressed as a man laughed softly: "Girl, you haven't given a reply yet, I wonder if you can give a bowl of herbal tea?"

The plain-clothed woman hurriedly raised her hand and said softly, "Fellow Daoist, please take a seat." Then he ordered the shopkeeper to add another bowl of herbal tea.

The woman in brocade said thank you, and gently lifted her clothes and sat opposite the plain-clothed woman, which disappointed the cultivators who originally planned to watch the show.

"Where the ceremony has just failed, please forgive me! Although it is a meeting in Pingshui, it is also fate to be able to sit at the same table, and I haven't consulted Taoist friends yet......"

The woman in brocade shook her fan and chuckled: "The girl is polite, she is famous for her surname Bing, what she smells is what she sees, and what she hears is the ice of ice and snow." ”

This brocade-clothed woman dressed as a man is Wen Bin, who has returned to the Hidden Land, and she somehow appeared in the territory of Zhao State under a pseudonym, but at this moment, she looked at the plain woman wearing a jade mask in front of her, full of interest.

She said: "The rumored and prestigious Jade Guanyin of the South China Sea, when I see it today, I am really lucky! It's a pity that the eldest prince Zhao Yi is haunted by your dreams, and for your heart, he will go to the Ziwei Imperial City at the expense of thousands of gold, just to meet the beauty again, but he doesn't know that the beauty is close at hand, just outside this imperial capital. ”

The plain-clothed woman's heart tightened when her true identity was revealed, but she still calmly replied: "Why is Wen Daoyou sure that I am the South China Sea Jade Guanyin? ”

Wen Bin smiled: "When you ask this question, you have already admitted your identity. ”

"Daoyou is wise and intelligent, and he can't do it yet. Nanhai Jade Guanyin's left hand under the table suddenly clenched and then released, and asked cautiously, "Wen Daoyou is a member of the royal family of Zhao State?"

Wen Bin drank the herbal tea in front of him, and suddenly felt cool all over his body, and immediately let the shopkeeper refill the bowl, and then looked at the South China Sea Jade Guanyin and said unhurriedly: "There has never been such a blessing." ”

Nanhai Jade Guanyin also looked at Wen Bing, who suddenly appeared in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know if in the eyes of Daoyou, is the little girl a blessing or a vote?"

Wen Bin shook his fan and said: "The royal family of Zhao State can't afford your blessing, and they can't accept my vote." ”

She then looked at the untouched herbal tea in front of Nanhai Jade Guanyin, raised her head slightly, and signaled: "This herbal tea needs to be drunk as soon as possible, and it will lose its taste after a while." ”

Xu is sure that the person in front of him has no malicious intent, Nanhai Jade Guanyin smiled when he heard this, and slightly lifted the jade mask on his face, but the halo was still lingering, and he couldn't see the true face.

She drank half a bowl of herbal tea in one gulp, and suddenly felt a refreshing coolness welling up in her heart, and exclaimed: "This herbal tea is indeed not bad, not to mention that it has decades of craftsmanship." ”

Wen Bin was amazed and said: "Your jade mask is quite good, I think I have a different background, even I can't see your true face in a moment or three." ”

Nanhai Yu Guanyin chuckled: "Then you can't talk to Daoyou for a long time, if you are peeped into by Daoyou, it doesn't matter if you spread it, it is really a big sin to spoil the expectations in the hearts of Daoyou." ”

Wen Bin pursed his lips and smiled, he did not have a bad feeling towards the South China Sea Jade Guanyin who dared to say witty things to her in front of him, but his good impression doubled because of it.

Having said that, Wen also felt that the rumors were untrue, and the girl's posture should be far above the rumors. ”

Not to be outdone, Nanhai Jade Guanyin said: "Out of a woman's intuition, I think that if Wen Daoyou changes into women's clothes, he must be extremely beautiful." ”

"Even if it is out of a woman's intuition, then the words of you and me should be the same, and I will accept this flattery. ”

Nanhai Jade Guanyin's eyes lit up, this person spoke well, his mind and knowledge were extraordinary, and he was really interesting.

She asked, "I don't know where my friend came from and where he wants to go?"

Wen Bin replied: "Come from where you come from, go out, go as you like, and be at peace with what you encounter!"

"The words of Taoist friends are quite Zen. ”

"Life has these sixteen words, and it is enough to wish! I will give it to the girl today, okay?"

Nanhai Jade Guanyin shook his head and said: "Words can be given, but how can the mood be gifted?"

Wen Bin asked, "Why can't the girl feel at ease?"

Nanhai Jade Guanyin stroked the mask on his face with his fingers and was silent.

Wen Bin said: "Under this jade face, it is a godsend. ”

Nanhai Jade Guanyin said in a deep voice: "Luck is a godsend, and burdens are also godsend!"

Wen Bin took a sip of herbal tea and said in a harmonious voice: "When one day, you can be lucky enough to meet the love of this life, this love will not increase because of God's blessing, and it will not decrease because of God's destruction, will you care about this so-called luck and burden again?"

The South China Sea Jade Guanyin under the jade mask smiled and drank the remaining half bowl of herbal tea.

Seeing this, Wen Bin smiled and said: "The Ziwei Emperor City Wenwu Dao will be held soon, so why not go to the meeting?"

Nanhai Jade Guanyin shook his head and said: "I have an appointment with my best friend, and I will go to the appointment after the matter of Ziyang County, so I don't have time to go elsewhere." Moreover, the Ziwei Imperial City is now surging, and it is difficult for me to avoid being caught in a deep situation when I appear in it, so why bother asking for trouble? Besides, Daoist friends know it, so why should they ask knowingly. ”

Wen Bin tapped his palm with a fan and sighed: "Burden, burden! It's a pity, this year's Wenwudao will lose this rare and amazing stroke." ”

"It's not early, I'm going to leave next, fellow Daoists, please take care of yourself!"

Nanhai Jade Guanyin got up to say goodbye with a chuckle, Wen Bin didn't get up, and bowed slightly.

"Please!"

Nanhai Jade Guanyin turned to leave, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the old beggar under the birch tree next to the official road, and thought that she had left while she was talking to Wen Bing.

Without paying much attention to it, the South China Sea Jade Guanyin, this famous and mysterious woman, gradually drifted away under Wen Bin's gaze, until her figure completely blurred and disappeared.

Wen Bin glanced at the place where the old beggar was sleeping soundly before, suddenly drank the remaining herbal tea in the bowl, got up and came to the birch tree, and after a few breaths, he suddenly looked up at a certain place in the void, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and withdrew his gaze.

There was a strong irony in her smile, and she muttered to herself: "If I don't show up, how long can you sleep here, or secretly leave with the South China Sea Jade Guanyin?"

Wen Bin snorted coldly and left with his hands in his hands.

"Two bowls of herbal tea, two favors, one has been returned to you, and the other is ...... Jiang Feng, I'll sell it to you, okay?"

With a chuckle, Wen Bin's figure had disappeared without a trace, and there was still an unspeakable terrible question in her heart, which made her mind unable to calm down for a long time-

"How can there be such an existence in the world?"

Above the void, the old beggar with a cane slowly appeared, staring at the direction of Wen Bin's departure and was also shocked.

"What the hell is going on with this Cultivation Ancient Star?!Why do you always have such people who don't conform to the laws of heaven and earth?!"

......
