Volume 1 The Sunset Chapter 31 The Lu Firm
There is no time in the mountains, and the towering ancient trees that cover the sky and the sun make Fang Xue hate not to see the moon setting and the sunrise.
He had gone through bushes, meadows, flowstone beaches and tundra, and now he had finally stood on the top of the ice and snow, and Fang Xue hated a kind of happiness for the rest of his life.
The wind and snow are very cold that people can bear, even Fang Xue, who is already a high-level cultivator of the Transformation Qi Realm, can't stay for long. He hurried down the hill until his whole body gradually regained warmth.
"Is this the boundary of the Tang Dynasty below?is she living in this land?" Fang Xue hated to raise his eyes and look into the distance, at the foot of the Qiyang Mountain Range was a big river, and the river was turbulent and magnificent.
On the other side of the river, there were reeds stretching to the sky, and a breeze blew, and the reeds hung their heads shyly as if they were frightened.
At the end of the reeds, there was a place that Fang Xue hated could not see, and there was a towering tower in that place, which was pitch black, deep and mysterious.
In a room at the top of the tower, there was an old man with a white beard and blind eyes, and a middle-aged man with a nervous expression stood behind him.
The man is about forty years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, square face, high nose, brocade clothes, goose and gold edges, and a dignified body that is not angry and self-assured.
His gaze kept on the compass in front of the old man.
It was a rusty but shiny ancient compass, and the densely carved gossip and earthly branches on the compass were blurred.
A piece of white bone replaces a magnetic needle and is placed in the center of the compass.
The old man said something in his mouth, and the white bones suddenly turned slowly, faster and faster, and finally turned into a white afterimage.
After the time of a stick of incense passed, the white bones finally stabilized and fell in the Qiangua and Bingwu positions.
"Bu Gong, how is it?"
The man couldn't wait to ask, and he had a faint bad premonition in his heart.
The white-bearded old man, known as Bu Gong, stood up and seemed to look through the window to a distant place through the clouds.
"The Great Tribulation. ”
Bu Gong's voice was a little hoarse, and the man could even hear the trembling of his throat.
Nanzhou is a vast land, where outstanding people and spiritual spirits are flourishing. It has been home to many earth-shattering powers, and there are still some nameless hermits living here.
If Qingzhou is a poor area with a lack of spiritual energy and depleted resources, then Nanzhou is simply rich.
Most of the sects in Qingzhou are so weak that they can't withstand the wind and rain, and the clues can be seen from the Xiyang Sect, which has lasted for hundreds of years.
But Nanzhou is different, although Nanzhou is large, there are people occupying every fertile land, either it is a thousand-year-old faction, or an orthodox academy, or the residence of a certain earth-shattering power.
Nanzhou City, as the existence of the Tang Dynasty second only to the imperial city, is large and extremely prosperous, where as long as you have money, you can buy everything you want, even human life.
However, there is also a rule in Nanzhou City, which does not allow monks to fight in the city, and if anyone violates it, they will be killed.
Fang Xue hated to step into Nanzhou City with curiosity, what he never expected was that the reeds were so amazing, making him walk for five months and get lost several times.
"If I could fly, where would I be so embarrassed. "Fang Xue hated and yearned, the monks of the Qi Transformation Realm only had amazing bounce power at most, but they couldn't fly in the air. Once you step into the Qi Sea realm, you will be able to use your vitality to step into the air.
The city of Nanzhou is full of people, and it looks extremely lively. Fang Xuehe inquired all the way, and finally found a shop called Lu's Commercial Bank.
Lu's firm is located in the west of the city, the location is not very good, but the house price is not cheap, Lu's firm is a two-story building plus an inner courtyard, bought it and spent a full 400,000 taels of silver, it can be seen that Nanzhou City is every inch of land.
Most of them are foreign merchants, but there are also some local artisans, and they are generally not upper-class people.
"What does Childe need?" The shopkeeper is an authentic Qingzhou man, he is over fifty years old, but he is still capable.
Fang Xue hated to take out the bag that Lu Qi gave him and said, "I'm a friend of the second miss. ”
He hadn't read what was written in the bag, but the shopkeeper's attitude allowed him to guess something.
"Young Master Fang, please inside!" The shopkeeper bowed over and welcomed Fang Xue to the backyard, and ordered someone to clean up a quiet wing room for him alone.
"Young Master Fang, the old slave's name is Wang Ding, the second lady specially ordered, if the son has any needs, just mention it, the old slave will try his best to do it. ”
Wang Ding's attitude was very humble, Fang Xue hated a little ashamed, he hurriedly said: "The shopkeeper is polite, I can't help but go to a foreign land, and I hope the shopkeeper will take care of it." ”
Fang Xue hated to live in the Lu family's trading house, the backyard was quiet and no one disturbed her, and Wang Ding equipped him with a maid ring usually waiting outside the door, without Fang Xue hate's instructions, she would not be disturbed and would not leave.
"Whew, it's hot. ”
Fang Xue hated to ask Yahuan to help boil a pot of boiling water and put it into the bath bucket, he stripped naked and jumped in, and suddenly felt that the heat wave was rolling and it was difficult to breathe.
"The medicinal effect of red vine leaves is not as good as that of purple jue root, but Lu Cailian has inadvertently done me a great favor. Fang Xue hated that there were many medicinal herbs soaked in the bath bucket, and he had to complete the last step of the first refinement of the Guiding Method.
The effect of the medicine gradually set in as time passed, Fang Xue hated began to become red-faced, the skin of his whole body seemed to be pricked by needles, and the pain that had once been tempered by spiritual energy appeared again.
"It's so itchy!" Fang Xue hated not to scratch it, because it was clearly recorded in the "True Immortal Body Dao Record" that it must not be tickled at this time, otherwise it would destroy the medicinal power and fall short.
The effect of the medicine became stronger and stronger, and Fang Xue began to slowly lose his bearing, like ten thousand ants devouring his heart. He gritted his teeth, and beads of sweat the size of beans continued to ooze from his forehead.
"No, I'm going to have to break down if I continue like this. Fang Xue couldn't bear it anymore and was about to jump out of the bathtub, but at this time, the inverse talisman in the center of his eyebrows suddenly turned, and a cold coolness suddenly soaked into his heart, making him moan comfortably.
"What is Childe doing inside?" The maid outside the door blushed when she heard the moan, and covered her ears with her hands and didn't dare to listen again.
"Xiaowei, come in and help me add some hot water. Fang Xue's residing voice sounded, making Yahuan's heart pound.
Xiao Wei covered her eyes with one hand and held the bucket in the other, stumbling towards Fang Xue Hat.
"Don't do that, you can't see me when I'm soaked in water. Fang Xue hated and teased: "Don't be afraid, even if you see something, I won't hold you responsible." ”
Xiao Wei angrily took down the hand covering her eyes, glared at him and said, "Who is rare." ”
However, she finally put her mind at ease, because the water in the bath bucket was pitch black, covering Fang Xuehate's body firmly like silt, and only his exposed head was seen.
"Whoa. Xiaowei poured all the boiling water in the bucket on Fang Xue's head at once, and grinned after pouring it: "Son, you seem to be a chicken in the soup." ”
Fang Xue hated her and hated her angrily: "Girl, do you want to burn me to death?"
Xiao Wei ran away with a smile, and was very happy to see Fang Xue hating to eat deflated.
"Stinky girl, she's getting bolder. Fang Xue hated to stretch her waist, and suddenly found that the color of the skin on her whole body had become darker, and the skin that was originally quite white had unconsciously turned bronze, which looked a little eye-catching, but it looked more manly.
After soaking for three days, Fang Xue Hate finally completely absorbed the medicinal effect and completed the transformation, and after he got out of the bath, he felt refreshed, as if his skin could breathe.
After refining the skin realm, the skin can naturally perceive the aura, but with
The real benefit of the Skin Refining Realm is that it can fill the skin with vitality at any time to form protection, without the need to consume vitality to form body protection outside the body like ordinary Qi Transformation Realm cultivators.
This can help the monk save a lot of True Qi, and the effect is very good.
"Xiaowei, where are you?"
Fang Xue hated to push open the door after getting dressed, but didn't see Xiaowei, he shouted loudly.
Xiaowei hurriedly ran in, her little face flushed and panting: "Son, son, it's not good, something happened." ”
"Why are you flustered," Fang Xue hated to flick her forehead: "What's wrong?"
Xiaowei tried to calm down, pointed outside and said, "That Liu Dazhuang is here again, and the shopkeeper Wang has been beaten." ”
Fang Xue's face suddenly sank: "Let's go, go and have a look." ”
Liu Dazhuang is the owner of Liu's firm, and the two families are separated by a street.
He felt that the Lu family firm had robbed him of his business, and he came over from time to time to find fault, Wang Ding knew that righteousness could bend and stretch down, and Liu Dazhuang did not find a chance to break out, but today the situation is different.
When Fang Xue came out, Wang Ding was lying at Liu Dazhuang's feet, and his eyes were swollen.
"Old thing, you have robbed my business repeatedly, do you want to die?"
Liu Dazhuang is young and strong as his name, where is Wang Ding his opponent, at this moment he has a tooth missing, and his speech is slurred: "Liu Dazhuang, I have never robbed you of your business, you don't want to spew blood!"
When Wang Ding said the word "spray", the broken teeth in his mouth also sprayed out, and even the blood stains that splashed Liu Dazhuang's trouser leg were also sprayed.
"You're the one who spews blood. Liu Dazhuang raised his foot in disgust and kicked at Wang Ding again, but this time he didn't succeed, he was grabbed by Fang Xue, and he threw him out with a little force in his hand.
Liu Dazhuang's sturdy body fell to the ground and smashed into dust, he got up angrily, pointed at Fang Xue and scolded hatefully: "Dog, you dare to hit me, do you know who I am!"
Liu Dazhuang's identity is also one of the reasons why Wang Ding swallowed his anger, he himself is not afraid of a straw bag, but he has a younger brother Liu Yun, who is a registered disciple of the Chiya Cave outside the city, and is a monk who is a serious monk.
Xiao Wei ran over to help Wang Ding up, hiding behind Fang Xue Hat, she said to Fang Xue Hatred indignantly: "This Liu Dazhuang often troubles us because his brother is a registered disciple of Chiya Cave, and he has also done something to me repeatedly!"
In Xiaowei's eyes, maybe Fang Xue hated omnipotent, after all, she had never seen a person who could withstand the boiling boiling water, not get hurt, but still moan comfortably.
Fang Xue hated that it didn't matter who you were, he only knew that he didn't recognize his relatives.
"Dog, you kneel down and kowtow to Grandpa now to apologize, and I can also consider letting you go. Liu Dazhuang was a little scared in his heart, Fang Xue didn't look strong, but the strength of that handful made him feel terrifying.
"Smack!" Fang Xue hated to slap him over, making Liu Dazhuang dizzy: "You kneel down and kowtow now to admit your mistake, I may consider letting you go." ”
Wang Ding hurriedly grabbed Fang Xuehe, he knew Fang Xuehate's identity, and knew the rules of Nanzhou City better: "Forget it, Gongzi, endure the calm for a while, Liu Dazhuang will definitely rein in if he has a lesson." ”
Liu Dazhuang's face was cloudy, although he was reckless but not stupid, he also knew that a hero would not suffer losses in front of him, and when he saw Wang Ding's posture, he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, scolded and walked away.
"Where are you going!" Fang Xue hated Liu Dazhuang and suddenly stopped him: "You have to pay for the soup medicine, right?"
Liu Dazhuang was angry for a while, took out a silver ingot and threw it over angrily, turned his head and left.
"Xiaowei, go get a pair of medicine for the shopkeeper. Fang Xue hated to hand over the silver to Xiaowei and helped Wang Ding into the inner courtyard.
"Shopkeeper Wang, this Liu Dazhuang is so arrogant and arrogant, what are you afraid of him doing?" Fang Xue was puzzled, feeling that Wang Ding's attitude was too weak, how could he not be bullied in this way.
Wang Ding wiped the blood stains on his lips and sighed: "Liu Dazhuang's younger brother Liu Yun is a monk, we can't afford to mess with it, and the second lady told her not to conflict with others, this firm is too important to the Lu family, it is a line connecting Datang and Fan Yang, and there must be no mistakes." ”
"Even so, you can't be bullied. Fang Xue has never been the kind of person who can't fight back and scold and don't fight back, and he can't stand this kind of anger: "Second Miss is kind to me, I can't watch you being bullied if you say anything, it's okay if this Liu Dazhuang is restrained, otherwise I will clean up with his younger brother." ”
"Don't be impulsive, there are rules in Nanzhou City, and monks can't fight in the city, otherwise whoever it is, they will be killed!" Wang Ding has been in Nanzhou City for many years and is very familiar with this place.
Fang Xue hated that he hadn't heard of such rules, but he wouldn't deliberately offend, after all, Nanzhou Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, he knew very well that he was nothing now.
"Don't worry, I'm measured, I've been sitting at the door for the past few days, but I want to see if Liu Dazhuang still has the courage to make a mistake. Fang Xue hated and thought to herself, this Wang Ding is also powerful, it is not easy for a person to support a business house in a foreign country.
