32, Zhang He
After Bai Ziyun returned to Xianmen to deal with some things, it was the New Year in a few days, this was the third year he had spent in this world, and it was inevitable that he would be a little melancholy when he thought of the past.
Since seeing the gods, Bai Ziyun realized that the high forces of this world were about to gradually appear, and the martial arts were also somewhat inadequate, and he had gradually formed a threat to himself, so he decided to close a long pass to break through the realm of the Immortal Dao.
Of course, there are some things that must be taken care of before the retreat.
In the first year of Guanghe (178 AD), Bai Ziyun was disguised again, dressed in black and white on a white horse, and slowly went north with the little monkey Sun Wukong.
Guangyang County is in the north of Zhuo County, close to Zhuo County, and it can be reached in one day by fast horse, Bai Ziyun is not in a hurry, so he rode his horse and ran slowly, walked for two days, and entered Guangyang County in Guangyang County.
Guangyang County is close to Zhuo County, it is also stained with the light of Zhuo County, the business is quite developed, I see that the streets in the city are spacious, the houses are clean and tidy, the shops are like clouds, and the pedestrians come and go in an endless stream, a prosperous scene.
Bai Ziyun asked the best restaurant inn in the local area, and walked straight to the restaurant inn.
Suddenly, a person beside him said: "I didn't expect a small county town to be so prosperous, this is much more prosperous than our first county in Hejian." ”
Bai Ziyun heard that the voice of the person who spoke was full of strength and faintly contained deterrence, so he knew that this person's internal cultivation had a certain level, and he couldn't help but look at it, only to see that it was a young man in a black robe, holding a long sword in his hand, and his eyes were shining, and he was a very dignified young man.
A white-robed young man beside him said with a smile: "This Guangyang County is close to Zhuo County, and it is convenient to communicate with Zhuo County. Commerce and trade are developed, and it is naturally more prosperous than ordinary counties. ”
This white-robed young man, Bai Ziyun, had met several times. It is Zhen Yi, a giant businessman in Jizhou.
"Oh?" The black-robed young man smiled: "What industries does Guangyang County have?" ”
Zhen Yi led the horse and said as he walked: "There are too many people practicing martial arts in Zhuo County, and they need a lot of meat. This Guangyang County mainly raises livestock, well, there are medicinal herbs, do you see the mountains over there? ”
Zhen Yi pointed to a mountain in the distance, and the black-robed young man looked at it, and it was all verdant.
"All the herbs planted on this mountain are medicinal herbs?" The black-robed young man was surprised, "Does a Zhuo County need so many medicinal materials?" ”
"It's pretty much all. It is said that these medicinal materials are used to refine the small pill, which has the effect of enhancing internal force, and the long stay in the immortal gate needs to consume more than 100,000 pieces of the pill every day. Naturally, a large amount of medicinal herbs is needed. Therefore, the medicinal herb business here is very prosperous, there are many merchants, and the city is naturally rich. Zhen Yi said with a smile.
"Seeing that you are so familiar with this place, it can't be that your family also has business here, right?" The black-robed young man smiled.
Zhen Yi smiled and said: "Yes, my family's business is all over the country, and the medicinal herb business is my family's emerging business in the past two years. ”
"I heard that in the Youzhou territory, Xianmen has been suppressing the business of Taiping Dao, has your family not been affected?" The black-robed young man smiled.
Zhen Yi's face suddenly sank, and he said, "Zhang He said cautiously." There are a lot of people from the Immortal Sect here, and it would not be good if they heard it. ”
"Zhang He? Is it that Zhang He in the river? Bai Ziyun was slightly puzzled, and couldn't help but look at the black-robed young man for a few more years, seeing that his face was immature. It seems that he should be a few years older than Zhang Fei.
Seeing that his gaze contained a sense of temptation, Zhang He couldn't help frowning slightly, and stared at Bai Ziyun sharply. Then he stared at the little monkey on Bai Ziyun's shoulder. Naturally, the little monkey grinned at him.
Zhen Yi also noticed Bai Ziyun and saw Bai Ziyun's honest face. The clothes are plain, but the manners are extraordinary. Then he had the idea of getting close, so he arched his hand and said: "The foot is from Zhuo County?" ”
"Exactly." Bai Ziyun said with a smile.
"Zhen Yi in Xia Jizhou, seeing that he looks extraordinary, how about we make friends?"
"In Baiyun, Xiazhuo County." Bai Ziyun smiled, and then looked at Zhang He again.
Zhang He's face showed displeasure, and he arched his hand casually: "Zhang He in the lower river." ”
"Brother Bai is here to do business?" Zhen Yi asked.
"No, there is a physician below, I heard that there are many herbs here, and I came here to look for herbs."
"I see." Zhen Yi nodded, "The medicinal materials here are indeed very rich, and there is a medicinal material business in the lower industry, what medicinal materials is Brother Bai looking for, can you tell me about it, I may be able to help you find it." ”
Bai Ziyun shook his head and said, "What I want to find here is not an ordinary medicinal material, so I don't bother Brother Zhen." ”
In the past two years, Gongsun Chan has taken Bai Mayi to Guangyang County from time to time to look for Zhu Guo, which can be said to have searched inch by inch, which businessman can find it?
Zhen Yi nodded again, and he was no longer interested in speaking.
It didn't take long for the three of them to lead their horses to the front of the inn, and soon the shopkeeper came to greet them.
"Baiyun Inn?" Bai Ziyun looked at the splendid inn, thinking in his heart that Su Shuang had already opened the Baiyun Inn to the counties near Zhuo County. Su Shuang is an elder of commerce, managing the domestic business of Liuxianmen, and is one of Bai Ziyun's right-hand men.
Since it is his own industry, Bai Ziyun entered the store with an inspection eye, and the decoration of the inn is basically in accordance with Bai Ziyun's original setting, these decorations are easy to configure, but the inn service is not in place?
"Arrange accommodation for me." Bai Ziyun took out a sign and handed it to Xiao Er of the inn.
Xiao Er looked at it, and was immediately startled, this is the brand of Changliu Xianmen, and it seems to be extremely senior, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly arranged the best yard for Bai Ziyun.
Zhen Yi was surprised, he didn't expect Bai Ziyun to be a person who stayed in the Immortal Gate for a long time, and he didn't seem to be low, and he thought that he would get close to him later.
Bai Ziyun put his luggage in the courtyard, and thought that Xiao Er was troublesome in delivering food, so he took the little monkey to the inn restaurant.
"Guest, what do you want to eat?" Xiao Er said enthusiastically while serving tea to Bai Ziyun.
"Well, let's have a portion of your signature dishes." Bai Ziyun said, "Two people." ”
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, looking at his simple clothes, he didn't expect to be a big customer, he was also a well-informed person, seeing that he had an extraordinary bearing, not a mortal, knowing that some people like to be low-key, he ran to the kitchen happily.
The guests in the restaurant are all gorgeously dressed, all of them are oily, and Bai Ziyun is wearing cloth clothes, which looks a little out of place here. The people around him couldn't help but look at him with some contempt in their eyes. Bai Ziyun was complacent, his demeanor was flat, and he was neither humble nor humble.
The little monkey Sun Wukong looked around on the table, often jumping around restlessly, squeaking and clucking, attracting the sideways eyes of the people around him, and his heart was even more disgusted.
At this time, the shopkeeper walked over quickly with a plate of dishes, and when the little monkey saw that the food was coming, he jumped impatiently and jumped onto the arm of the little second dish. The shopkeeper was suddenly startled, his hand slipped, and the tray was suddenly crooked. The plates on the tray fell down with a clatter, and the dishes were about to be destroyed. Suddenly, Bai Ziyun's right hand beside him shot out like lightning, and his hand poked out like a ghost, and in an instant the plate returned to the tray, and even the dish returned to the plate without leaking, and the culprit monkey returned to the table at some point, as if nothing had happened at all.
Xiao Er blinked, wondering in his heart, could it be that the scene just now was my hallucination?
The people around him who saw the scene just now all let go of their hands, and their chopsticks fell to the ground, revealing shocked and puzzled looks.
Hallucinations, hallucinations for sure.
At this time, I only heard Bai Ziyun touching the little monkey's fluffy little head and scolding: "Empty, don't be so naughty in the future." ”
The people around reacted, it turned out that it was not their hallucination just now, and they suddenly looked at Bai Ziyun with awe in their eyes.
"This person's martial arts skills are very high, and he is a martial arts master." That's what everyone around them thinks.
"Thank you for your help." The shopkeeper said gratefully while putting the vegetable plate away.
Bai Ziyun shook his head and said, "This matter is caused by my little monkey, how can I blame you!" ”
The shopkeeper was still grateful, and then retreated.
Bai Ziyun picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a few dishes, ate a few bites, nodded, and did not do a bad job, and would not smash the signboard of the fairy gate.
Bai Ziyun eats elegantly, and the little monkey on the table has no image, with fluffy little paws flying around, scratching and eating, it is an image of a monkey.
"Eat well, think about being a person!"
Bai Ziyun glared slightly and knocked on his little head.
The little monkey seemed to be able to understand human speech, the monkey nodded, and sat down quietly like a human, and learned to grab the chopsticks like a human, but the chopsticks were grasped, but the vegetables were lost, and he was anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, and grinned.
Bai Ziyun knocked on his head again, "Be patient." ”
This would be of no avail, and the little monkey was still in a hurry, so he simply dropped his chopsticks and ate with his paws.
"It's impatient." Bai Ziyun shook his head and sighed.
The people around were dumbfounded, and they all thought it was funny, and they already regarded Bai Ziyun as an alien.
Bai Ziyun drank a glass of wine, turned his head to look at the person standing on the side, frowned slightly, and said, "Little Brother Zhang, do you have something?" ”
"Your martial arts are very high, I want to compete with you." Zhang He stared at Bai Ziyun without blinking and said.
Bai Ziyun said with a smile: "Forget it, the martial arts below are just small skills of carving insects, and they can't be compared with martial arts masters like little brothers." ”
Zhang He stared at Bai Ziyun coldly, "You look down on me? Think I'm not worthy to be your opponent? ”
"No, I don't have the heart to compete, I don't practice martial arts for fighting."
"People who learn martial arts can only progress by learning from each other often, you are so shrunk and so timid, how can you practice martial arts to the highest level?"
"Haha!" Bai Ziyun laughed and said, "Okay, I'm timid, I'm not as good as you, right?" (To be continued......)
