Chapter 59: Confused
Outside the tavern, the lights are bright.
Whether day or night, the big reef boat is a very lively look, the lanterns are lined up along the street in turn, lit, the lamp oil is the famous shark oil of Babaoyang, the merman oil is as precious as the existence of the strong in the divine realm, therefore, the money gate is the richest sect in Xiancai Prefecture, and it can only buy three catties a year, most of them are sold to the cultivators in Yazhou, only five taels are left to the sect, one or two of which are considered to sponsor the cause of Jin Dabao.
Don't underestimate this little one or two, the merman oil has a reputation that has not been extinguished for thousands of years, even if the merman oil is diluted by a special method, one or two become ten catties, it can also be burned for more than ten years, but the merman oil on the Jin Dabao ship can not be burned for so long, it can be burned for three days, it can be seen from this point that the businessman has the ability to make money.
The main lighting equipment on board is the lantern, and the type of lantern varies depending on the day.
Just like tonight's ordinary day, most of them are incandescent lights, the lights are mild, not dazzling, and the more important departure and docking time are mostly red lights, which means that there are no waves on the ship, and the ship is reunited. And when it comes to Jin Dabao's birthday, he will order all the lanterns to be replaced with golden lights, there is no sect that likes gold more than the money gate, and when it comes to the birthday of the master of the money gate, it is light gold, taking fame and fortune, and has to take it, and finally the money gate is the previous master, that is, Jin Dabao's father, because the old man has passed away, so the boat will light a purple lamp to remember the old man.
Walking under the incandescent lamp, Zhou Tianshen was a little sad, because he missed the banquet held in the Luoyu Pavilion again, it seems that he is destined to miss the little lady in jade clothes, especially the first beauty of the big reef ship, the butterfly-clothed girl, I don't know what kind of beautiful lady she is.
Beside him were Bian Daochang and Lu Zhe, one chattering endlessly, the other silent.
What a pair of good friends.
Bian Dao often hooked Lu Zhe's shoulder, and said seriously, "Don't be sad, isn't it just that you only see an orchid, believe buddy, don't dare to say anything else, your achievements will not be much lower than mine in the future, don't you say, there is not a Four Gentlemen's Pavilion in Xiancai Prefecture, there is an orchid in it, the legend has reached the Tianwei realm, it is only a little worse than Ju Baishui." β
Bian Daochang stretched out his right hand, pinched his thumb and little thumb together, and held it in front of the two of them, "It's just a little bit short." β
Lu Zhe impatiently pushed away his friend's arm, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." β
Quickly catching up with the listless Zhou Tianshen, Lu Zhe opened the beauty fan again, the beauty on it was lifelike, and her eyebrows and eyes had already given birth to three points of charm, "Zhou Gongzi, what did you see, I really don't remember?"
Bian Daochang walked behind and complained, "No, Lu Zhe, aren't you not interested, why did you immediately change your mind when you heard the name of that orchid just now, and Zhou Tianshen, if you just tell him and don't tell me, we won't be able to be friends." β
Zhou Tianshen rubbed his eyebrows, and only said part of it after thinking about it, "A tree, a very big tree, there seem to be two people sitting under the tree, I can't remember." β
Lu Zhe comforted, "It's okay, this kind of thing is just an ethereal rumor, don't take it to heart." β
It's just that the smile on his face at this time is not like that.
Zhou Tianshen smiled bitterly and shook his head, the young man's temperament has not yet been overpowered.
During the period from drinking Cunyin wine to waking up, Zhou Tianshen really felt as if he had been dreaming for a long time, trying to extract a wisp of spiritual power from the tree in the dantian, and it was indeed much richer and more condensed than before.
Pedestrians have always been more than the avenue, the avenue is not exceeded, and the avenue is not bullied.
The three of them made their way to a market.
In front of the bazaar there is an archway, consisting of four juxtaposition pillars with cornices and four strange-shaped animals on it.
Bian Daochang pointed to the ends of the four animals and explained, " These four are all regarded as the gatekeeper beasts of the money gate, that is just the golden toad, the toad of the toad, has almost disappeared on the mainland, only the money gate has a few at home, that one is a pixiu, is a creature that does not exist at all, just because a novelist wrote in the book, pixiu means blessing and longevity, full of gold and jade, the money gate feels very interesting, very in line with the opening purpose of the money gate, so he spent a thousand taels of silver from the novelist to buy the ownership of pixiu, from then on, can only see such creatures in the money gate. In fact, the novelist did not tell the truth, Pixiu not only represents a wide range of wealth, but also has another meaning. β
Bian Daochang deliberately blinked his eyes, and said to Guan Zi, "Pixiu is in the hands of a novelist, and it is a representative of money as life, you should know the meaning of only entering and not leaving, so ah, Pixiu is not as perfect as Qianmen imagined." β
Zhou Tianshen asked, "How did you know about this matter, could it be that the truth was discovered by Qianmen?"
Bian Daochang patted Zhou Tianshen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "How is it possible, if that is the case, that novelist would have died a long time ago, and this story would have become an accident, and the original story of the matter would have to ask Grand Master Lu." β
Lu Zhe put away the beauty fan and slapped his palms, "That novelist is my uncle, who used to love a talented girl in my hometown, but unfortunately at that time we were just a very ordinary third-rate family, far inferior to each other's second-rate families. Whether it was the family property or the talent of his uncle, the other party didn't look down on it, and when he expressed his affection, he was severely humiliated by the woman's father. In a fit of rage, the uncle left the house and created Pixiu to mock the patriarch of the family. β
Zhou Tianshen muttered, "A second-rate family, a third-rate small family?"
Lu Zhe nodded, "According to the village state, the family hierarchy is divided into four classes, first-class families, second-rate families, third-rate small families and fourth-rate last families, as for the others, they cannot be called families, they can only be named families. β
Zhou Tianshen asked again, "What about other states, such as the money gate in Xiancai Prefecture, the three peaks in Zhongzhou, and so on?"
Lu Zhe and Bian Daochang looked at each other and smiled, and Bian Daochang said, " I didn't expect you to know the three peaks, well, it's a bit far away, but in addition to the three peaks in Zhongzhou, there are two places you have to go, one is the stubborn mountain located in the northwest corner of Zhongzhou, it is rumored that it is the second hometown of the cave beast, as long as it is a cave beast that can't mix in Nanzhou and Kunzhou, it will go there, where it lives a red snake, which can be regarded as the mountain god of the stubborn mountain, and the second is the anecdotal list of the inner courtyard of Huangzhao College, which specifically records the anecdotes of Huangzhao Academy, you can know the major events that have happened in Huangzhao Academy in recent years, and there is a beauty list next to the anecdotal list, and the ten beauties recorded on it are the faΓ§ade of Huangzhao Academy, casually placed in Xiancai Prefecture can get the reputation of the beauty of a continent, not to mention the smallest area of the village, if you can marry such a beauty home, it will not lose a good talk. β
Bian Daochang squinted his eyes at Lu Zhe, who rarely showed a hint of fascination.
Zhou Tianshen said with a smile, "It seems that I went to Huangzhao Academy to study this time, and I really went to the right place, but I don't know if I can meet those ten beauties, but don't miss it in vain like today." β
Bian Daochang patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, there are buddies to lead the way, and I guarantee that you will make this trip worthwhile, not to mention, there is also Brother Lu's beauty fan as a guide." β
Lu Zhe slapped the small hair on the head, "It's really not big or small, but don't forget, I'm one year older than you." β
The three of them walked towards the market with a smile.
Bian Daochang continued the topic that he hadn't finished before, "The two in the middle are cave beasts that are relatively rare, but they can't reach the treasure, a jade-faced fox, and a golden-horned grasshopper. By the way, I heard that the jade-faced fox has cultivated into a human form, and it has been more than 100 years since he lived in Qianmen. β
Zhou Tianshen couldn't help but be curious, "Where did you hear these rumors?"
Bian Daochang clenched his fist with his right hand, stretched out his thumb, pointed to himself, and said proudly, "Young Master Ben is the first disciple of the current Baixiao Hall Master, and this time I came to Huangzhao Academy to study at the order of the master, to go to experience, and wait until I take over Baixiao Hall in the future and make a name for myself." β
Another slap, Lu Zhe said helplessly, "Saying it so loudly, I really think that group of people can't find you, have you, have you forgotten what happened a few years ago?"
Bian Daochang gritted his teeth and said, "How could I forget that bastard, when I become the hall master, I will be the first to abolish him." β
Zhou Tianshen was a little confused again.
