Chapter 175: Encountering the Dead
The Qimen Exchange Meeting, as the name suggests, is an exchange gathering between the people of the Qimen, mainly for the martial artists to share their martial arts experience, and also exchange some required cultivation materials.
Now that the Dao is in decline, the aura of heaven and earth is thin, coupled with the lack of cultivation exercises, if the old concept of "the Tao is not passed on to non-people, and the law is not passed on to the six ears", if everyone cherishes themselves, I am afraid that it will not be long before the martial arts in this world will completely disappear.
The Qimen Exchange Meeting is not an official gathering, but a non-governmental organization, similar to a "reading club", "car club", etc. At first, the exchange meeting was just a gathering between several martial artists to exchange cultivation experiences with each other.
Up to now, after decades of development, the fame of the Qimen Exchange Conference has gradually begun, attracting many people from all over the world to participate in the Qimen exchange. It is not only the martial artists who participate, but also the feng shui masters, phase masters, and earth masters...... and other Qimen people from all walks of life.
For a martial arts family, being able to host a "Qimen Exchange Meeting" is tantamount to a country hosting an Olympic Games.
This is not only a symbol of strength, but also a multifaceted benefit to this family!
And the organizer of this year's exchange meeting is the martial arts master of Spring City, the Han family!
The Han family, the first family in Spring City, is a hegemon-like existence in Spring City, with investments in all walks of life and assets of hundreds of billions. But few ordinary people know that the Han family is also a martial arts family, and it is also a martial arts family with innate real people in charge!
Even so, the Han family is only the organizer of this exchange meeting, not the only organizer. In addition to the Han family, there were several other martial arts families in Yunnan Province.
The meeting was held in a resort in Spring City.
This resort is the property of the Han family!
A week earlier, the resort had closed to the public to entertain strange people from all over the world.
When Lu Zheng left Lecheng, he also drove Nie Haoyu's Humvee away.
Along the way, Daoist Xuanyu was explaining to Lu Zheng about the Qimen exchange meeting. Lu Zheng, who said it, was a little itchy, and he was looking forward to this exchange meeting more and more.
By the time they drove the car to Spring City, it was already afternoon!
Lu Zheng followed the instructions of Xuanyu Daoist and drove the car directly to the resort.
As soon as the car arrived at the door, it was stopped by two security guards in suits.
These two security guards are both 1.9 meters tall and have well-proportioned figures, especially their eyes are bright and their temples are bulging high, so they are not ordinary security guards at first glance.
"I'm sorry, Mingyue Villa is closing for rectification and is temporarily closed to the public."
One of the security guards walked up and said to Lu Zheng.
Daoist Xuanyu lowered the window of the car, handed over a greeting card-like thing, and said, "We were invited by the Han family to participate in the Qimen Exchange Meeting. Here's the invitation. ”
After the security guard carefully checked it, he hurriedly handed the invitation back respectfully, and said respectfully: "It turned out to be Xuanyu Dao Chief, please inside." ”
After the car was set, a beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam received and took the two to a single-family villa.
This is where the two of them will rest for the next few days.
I have to say that the Han family is really wealthy.
Not only did Mingyue Villa, a resort that makes money every day, suspend business for half a month to receive strange people who participate in the exchange meeting, but also all expenses during this period are free of charge and are borne by the Han family.
Lu Zheng was stained with the light of Xuanyu Dao to live in a single-family villa. Others, although they are also entertained for free, do not have such good treatment anymore and will only be assigned to ordinary rooms.
Of course, it is just ordinary compared to a single-family villa, and it is definitely the specification of a five-star hotel suite.
The Han family is not a fool, and after spending such a big price, naturally some people are not allowed to come in and cheat and cheat, so the audit at the door is extremely strict.
If Lu Zheng comes alone, let alone get to the villa, I'm afraid he won't even be able to enter the door!
After the two of them rested for a while, Daoist Xuanyu was impatient to go out for a walk. The venue of this exchange meeting is in a leisure club in the resort.
When the two were taken to the clubhouse by the reception of the beautiful woman, there were already quite a few people inside.
The clothes worn by these people are also varied, some are in suits and leather shoes, some are wearing ancient costumes, and some people are simply wearing sportswear, which makes Lu Zheng feel like he is on the set.
Most of these people are three or five people who get together and chat.
Some people spread a woven bag on the ground and set it up directly.
"Xuanyu Dao Chief."
"Ah, it's the Xuanyu Dao Leader here."
As soon as they entered the clubhouse, many people stood up to greet Daoist Xuanyu. As for Lu Zheng, he was taken for granted as a descendant of Xuanyu Dao Elder and was brought over to gain insight.
After a polite exchange with everyone, Daoist Xuanyu was impatient to walk towards the place where the stall was set up.
Lu Zheng was not in a hurry, and wandered slowly in the back, his eyes swept over the many stalls, wanting to see if there were any good things.
At these stalls, the most sold herbs are herbs. The vintage is much higher than that sold in pharmacies outside, but it is still far from the elixir. In addition, there are some materials on the animals, and of course there are some special stones, furnaces, rune papers, weapons, and so on.
"Little brother, you followed the Xuanyu Dao Elder to gain knowledge, right? Why don't you come and check it out with me? A middle-aged man dressed as a farmer couldn't help but smile when he saw Lu Zheng wandering aimlessly.
"You also know Daoist Xuanyu?" Lu Zheng was surprised.
"Hehe, in Yunnan Province, there are really not many martial artists who don't know Xuanyu Dao Master." The middle-aged man smiled and pointed out.
Lu Zheng nodded when he heard this, his eyes fell on the things on the stall, and he didn't say anything more.
Indeed, Daoist Xuanyu is the person in charge of the Dragon Court in Yunnan Province, and he is also the link between the people of Qimen and the government, and belongs to semi-official personnel. For these warriors, that's leadership.
"Hey, how much does this grass cost?" Lu Zheng asked, pointing to an herb that looked like a wheat sprout.
"Little brother, this is not a grass, but a medicinal herb, called 'Baisuihe'. Its seeds can be used in medicine, and it is one of the main medicines for refining the first-grade elixir 'Qi Gathering Pill'. The middle-aged man explained with a smile.
Speaking of this, he looked at the "Baisui He" whose roots were still wrapped in soil, and said with regret on his face: "However, this Baisui grass grows a little slowly, and I am afraid that it will not be able to grow seeds." Although its rhizome can also be used in medicine, it is far from the seed when compared to the seed. ”
Hearing this, Lu Zheng glanced at the middle-aged man in surprise, but he didn't expect that the stall owner not only did not fool him into buying the problematic "Baisuihe", but also explained it carefully, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of the stall owner.
Lu Zheng naturally knew Bai Suihe.
However, although the stall owner has a good heart, his eyesight is not good.
The herb in front of me is only somewhat similar in appearance to Baisuihe, but it is not Baisuihe at all, and its value is more than 100 times more precious than Baisuihe's azure grass!
"Little brother, if you like it, you can buy it and try it. If you can make him grow seeds, then you will make a lot of money. Then, the middle-aged stall owner looked at Lu Zheng again and added with a smile.
He came here to set up a stall, but he didn't come to give people popular science knowledge, and naturally he also wanted to sell the things on the stall, but he didn't want to trick people.
"Well, I'll take it back and try it. How is it sold? Lu Zheng asked with a smile.
"A million." The stall owner held out a finger and said.
Hearing this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Didn't you say that everything here is barter?" ”
"Hehe, little brother, it seems that you don't know much about the exchange meeting! Not everything is bartered. In fact, only a small number of valuable things will choose to barter. Most of the things with low value will choose to trade them for money! After all, everyone has to eat, haha. The middle-aged stall owner explained with a smile.
Lu Zheng nodded, and wanted to come to the stall owner's account, ready to transfer money to him.
"Hey, Lu Zheng, you're here too?"
Just as Lu Zheng lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, a voice rang in Lu Zheng's ears.
Lu Zheng turned his head and saw a young woman with a tall figure and a good face, but she looked a little cold, looking at her with surprise on her face.
This person is Han Qing who Lu Zheng rescued on the way to Yunnan Province a few days ago!
