Knowing Dai Gui's motives, it seemed that it was impossible to expect to be able to get the thousand-year-old Lingzhi today, so Chen Rui took the silver coin as a dog, turned around and left the front of Dai's mansion. He can't teach Dai Gui a lesson in front of the Dai family now, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, it would be bad if he left a bad impression on the head of the Dai family, after all, he still had to beg others.

At this time, it was already the middle of the day to eat, and the most prosperous restaurant in Fengming City, the wine and meat in Juxian Pavilion were overcrowded. The hall is as luxurious as the box, and the rooms are full of people, and the laughter and laughter are peaceful.

In a luxurious box, a young man who didn't match the decoration at all was sitting by the window, and the vermilion wood table in front of him was full of all kinds of wine and food, and the aroma was mouth-watering, which was really extravagant. And this meal for about six people is actually only for one person, and this person is Chen Rui, a young man from another world with an appetite that is different from ordinary people.

Chen Rui didn't move his chopsticks, he waited for Xiao Er to finish the last dish, because he had some questions in his heart that he needed to ask Xiao Er. After a while, Xiao Er carefully placed the famous dish "Five Flavors Qicheng" in his hand on the plate.

"Little brother, may I ask, what kind of person is Dai Xiahu, the owner of Dai Mansion?" After Xiao Er stopped, Chen Rui took the opportunity to inquire about Dai Xiahu's news, if Dai Xiahu also had the same virtue as Dai Gui, who guarded the door, he would not be able to talk about this matter nine times out of ten. So he planned to see what the people here had to say, but if it didn't work, he had to find another way.

The guy in the shop knew that Chen Rui's identity was not ordinary, and even the local snake who faintly wanted to become a tyrant in the city, Fang Bait was polite, so he naturally didn't dare to despise it: "Hui Gongzi, that Dai Xia Hu is not only the richest man in the local area, but also a kind person, and often gives alms to the poor people in the city. You can see the dozens of houses in the west of the city, all of which are sponsored by Master Dai out of his own pocket..."

Chen Rui nodded, he did see a row of houses in the west of the city today, and at that time he wondered who was so generous and built a house in such a remote place. It seems that this Dai Xia Hu is not bad, and there may be hope for the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

"I said, what is that old man Dai like, does he look like a kind eyebrow?" Chen Rui became interested in this Dai Xiahu, and it was very commendable to be able to maintain the kindness of human nature in this sin city.

Unexpectedly, the guy also shook his head again and again: "I don't know, although this old man Dai has a bodhisattva's heart, but no one has ever seen him, and yes, how can a person as noble as him casually go in and out of the street, hehe." The young man smiled self-deprecatingly, not knowing if he could become a human being in this life.

"Oh? That's weird. Chen Rui was suspicious, this is inconsistent with common sense, since he is a rich man, he will naturally show up often to enhance his might, so as to call on others to form a virtuous circle, but this old man Dai seems to often live in the compound, a hermit style who does not ask about the world, is this person a monk?

Thinking of this, Chen Rui continued to ask: "Little brother, I heard that Master Dai bought a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum last time, how did he buy it?"

If the other party is a monk, it must be used for alchemy, no matter how kind he is, it is impossible for him to humble Lingzhi, and now Chen Rui has no spirit stones on his body, and no matter how many silver coins he has, it will be useless.

The little brother looked at Chen Rui, and didn't know why he was so interested in Master Dai, but he still replied truthfully: "Don't say it, Master Dai's acquisition of the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum once caused a storm in the city, and even now, everyone often mentions this matter after tea and dinner." You say, the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is rare, but it is not a waste to spend 10,000 silver coins to buy this thing. Ganoderma lucidum, unlike ginseng, can be eaten directly, that is, to make a tea. You say, "Every time you take a sip of tea, you drink even a silver coin?" It's like throwing money into the river!"

After the little brother finished speaking, he obviously didn't understand the thoughts of the rich, and thought that this kind of behavior was really wasteful.

When Chen Rui heard this, he was also shocked in his heart. No wonder when he went to Baicaotang to grab medicine, the enthusiastic old man Qi didn't tell the story that Master Dai had a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and it would cost several times more to buy the treasures, and it was impossible to give them to Chen Rui, and it was in vain.

However, Dai Xiahu made it not very important whether he let Ganoderma lucidum or not, Chen Rui became more and more sure that Dai Xiahu was a monk, he was familiar with medicinal books, and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum was rare, but it was not nothing. It is impossible for ordinary people to spend such a large price to buy, let alone Dai Mansion is still a person who started as a businessman. All indications indicate that Dai Xiahu is a monk hidden in Fengming City.

"Haha, that's really surprising, it's worthy of being a rich man on the rich side!" Chen Rui snorted and let the young man do his own work.

After seeing some inquiry, Chen Rui had a certain number in his heart, he wanted the sword to go sideways. This decision is also thanks to a news that Xiao Er unintentionally said, that Dai Xiahu seems to have gone out last month. Zhuang Ma canopy is a unique means of transportation in Dai Mansion, every time the car travels on behalf of Master Dai left, and he has not returned until now, Chen Rui just took this opportunity to enter Dai Mansion at night to find out.

In fact, Chen Rui didn't want to ask for a corner of Ganoderma lucidum head-on, not to mention that Dai Xiahu was not at home now, and no one was in charge. Just because Chen Rui didn't have a spirit stone on his body, it was impossible for him to change to Ganoderma lucidum, plus Chen Rui was pressed for time, and he hoped to take that decoction earlier, so there was no time to delay... After coming and going, Chen Rui had to be a gentleman on the beam once, but this kind of appearance was commonplace in the cultivation world.

The avenue is retrograde, the obedience is ordinary, the adversity is immortal, Chen Rui can't go down smoothly, this is just the first time he has swung an oar in the boundless sea.

After eating lunch, Chen Rui burped with satisfaction, and once again walked out of the wing room under Xiao Er's admiring gaze.

The lion fought the rabbit with all his strength, and Chen Rui couldn't use his spiritual power, so he was even more careful, and he walked straight to the hill in the south of the city. This hill has a nice scenery and an elegant environment, which is a good place for a leisurely walk after dinner. Chen Rui walked and stopped, admiring the grass sprouts that had just shown their heads and feet on the side of the road, looking leisurely. It is true to enjoy the scenery and seize the opportunity to seize the land.

There is a wooden tower on this mountain, about 20 meters high, coupled with the elevation of the hill, it is already the second highest peak in Fengming City. The other is the watchtower of the city-building army, but it is impossible for Chen Rui to go there.

The so-called high place is not cold, and in the early spring, there are few people in this wooden tower, only three or two couples snuggled up on the second floor to flirt. Chen Rui avoided the eyes and ears of these people, and quickly climbed to the top of the tower, and the layout of the city immediately came into view.

Ordinary people can only see a general appearance here, but Chen Rui can clearly see the scenery of Fengming City in his eyes.

Fengming City is open from east to west, with two main roads, the first is the location of the market where he buys medicine in the morning, and the second is the city road for pedestrians to enter and exit, which just forms a cross shape with the other main road. And Dai Xiahu's mansion is located in the south of the intersection, which can be regarded as a treasure land of Tibetan wind and water, which is particularly conspicuous.

The courtyard of the Dai family is very large, stretching all the way to the west, and the courtyard wall alone is hundreds of meters. Chen Rui's gaze moved along the courtyard wall, looking at the layout of the courtyard, and after a moment, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. It turned out that there was a bamboo forest in the innermost part of the west, which was very remote and almost blocked the courtyard wall. Immediately afterwards, Chen Rui observed the distribution of the Dai family's servants for a while, the number of them near the gate was the most dense, and the number of patrols back and forth was also very frequent, so it was not the choice for entry. However, in the bamboo forest to the west, there were very few people patrolling, and a group of people would pass by in half an hour, and their footsteps were hurried.

Sitting on the guardrail at the top of the tower, enjoying the spring breeze, the plan to break into Dai's mansion at night was rehearsed over and over again in Chen Rui's heart. Half an hour later, Chen Rui left the wooden tower full of joy, he thought about it a lot, and drew up a plan for all the details that could be taken into account.

————

As soon as the evening arrived, someone came to the door of Chen Rui's room.

"Chen Gongzi, in Xia Kongsan, the words of the boss of the house, I came to invite you to the banquet. Three times in a row, there was no movement in the room, this Kong San said "offended", and pushed the door in.

"What's the matter?Third Master Kong, is there something wrong with me?" Chen Rui asked coldly.

The sudden voice startled Kong San, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "Don't dare to be, didn't I have an appointment with Gongzi Chen this morning, I came here to invite Gongzi." As soon as he saw that there was no movement in the house, he dared to push the door open, and hoped that the son would forgive him. ”

Chen Rui has been busy investigating the situation in Dai's mansion, but he forgot about the entertainment set in the morning, and he said with a deep apology: "I don't blame you, I forgot about this matter myself, please don't blame Kong Sanye." ”

That Kong San had seen Chen Rui's ruthlessness when he killed the enemy, even if Chen Rui was really embarrassed, he thought it was fake, and hurriedly apologized: "Don't dare, don't dare, let's ask Gongzi to move to the third floor, I'll lead the way for Gongzi." ”

After a small episode, Chen Rui sat in the box on the third floor, in addition to Fang Bait and Kong San and others, there was also a young man.

When the young man saw Chen Rui, he immediately got up, rushed forward, and said, "Presumably this is Brother Chen Rui, I have been looking up for a long time, I am in Xia Lu Yunyuan, and I will ask Brother Chen for more advice in the future." "The young man named Lu Yunyuan has a humble and gentle expression, like a personable nobleman.

"Haha, Brother Lu is really polite, everyone is from the rivers and lakes, there is no need to be like this, please sit down. Chen Rui said politely.

Only then did Fang Bait of the proprietor smile and say: "Brother Lu, I told you a long time ago, this Brother Chen Rui is open-minded and uninhibited, don't always engage in the etiquette in your academy." Without further ado, Kong San, serve wine to the two sons. ”

The three of them sat together, staggered their cups and changed their glasses, and drank the two pots of wine in a short time.

This Lu Yunyuan is a martial arts master, originally a teacher in the academy, but for some reasons, he made his debut halfway to learn martial arts. With his amazing talent and comprehension, and his willingness to endure hardships, he became a master of the acquired realm in just five or six years, and he can be regarded as a legendary figure in Fengming City. This time, he was also invited by Fang Bait to escort the goods with Chen Rui.

In addition to getting to know Lu Yunyuan, there is nothing to do at this dinner, and the rest is to introduce some types of beasts that may be encountered on the road, which is not a big problem in front of the two martial arts masters.
