"Hahaha...... The place where Prime Minister Zheng Hang lives is well known, and the answer is not only me who knows? I find people everywhere on the street and ask, "Why are you so happy to hear me say?"

"Speaking of which, I'm also weird. The street vendors, one colder than the other, didn't want to deal with me. Although the shopkeeper is a businessman like them, the reason why he can run Guangzhilou is that he must have his own way of hospitality. ”

"I think, getting a reliable answer from a reliable person is better than stumbling around like a headless fly, okay?" Lu Beichen said with a smile. It sounded like flattery, but it was what he really thought.

"Turning around and boasting about people, there is really a good mouth. The shopkeeper said, his tone a little cold, but he could see the joyful thoughts.

Who doesn't like to hear this kind of serious truth?

"Do you want to know why they ignore you?"

Get to the point in one sentence.

This is also what Lu Beichen wants to know the most.

"Why?"

"Didn't you have a foundation?"

"What?" Lu Beichen was a little surprised at first, and then understood what the shopkeeper meant. Because Master said that after a person builds a foundation, there will be something like a lotus seed in the dantian that glows, and anyone who has some experience in cultivation can tell at a glance whether a person has built a foundation or not.

"There are not many in the holy capital that have no foundations. Shopkeeper Zhang said again, "Including those stall owners you saw." ”

Lu Beichen was thoughtful. He didn't know much about the Holy Capital, but he probably heard some stories about the customs and people of the Holy Capital from Gu Yin's mouth.

The bustling holy capital city is really suitable to describe it as "there are talents from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years". Most of the younger generation in the Holy Capital are from good backgrounds, and this kind of money-consuming thing like studying and practicing is nothing to them for, so basically everyone will go to the academy and cultivate the Great Dao.

Finding talents should be as difficult as a big wave sweeping sand, but in recent years, with the promotion of the national examination, batches of outstanding teenagers have been found. Most of these teenagers are in their teens, and they have already completed the foundation building, and the spiritual lotus has begun to shine.

In this plain where people are judged by realm, even those stall owners may be first-class masters in the cultivation world, but they are not willing to accept secular battles and hide in the bustling bazaar.

This is also why, those stall owners glanced at Lu Beichen and did not choose to take care of it.

It turned out that in the holy capital city where the heroes gathered, there were really not many people who couldn't practice.

"So what?" Lu Beichen's expression was very indifferent. He knew this, he always knew it, but really, so what?

He'd heard it many times.

He wanted to say, yes, I didn't build a foundation, but so what? Do you want to ask a question, but you also have to see if there is a foundation? But he didn't say all these words, because after all, this is the holy capital, and in front of him is the boss of Guangzhilou, not the familiar Sun Moon Mountain, the familiar master.

Or rather, he wants to hear advice and solutions more than he listens to it.

"If you have a strong and arrogant face, and you don't have the slightest strength, who cares about what you are going to do?" said the shopkeeper with a smile, "If you are not a strong cultivator, don't come to the peak of the cultivation world, otherwise you will only be hurt and ravaged." ”

Above the pinnacle of the cultivation world, yes, the Holy Capital is indeed the pinnacle. It's just that if you can't come here or not, whether you can build a foundation or not, it seems that you have no way to make a choice, and fate can't help but be at your mercy.

"In that case, why did the shopkeeper tell me so much?" Lu Beichen asked.

Lu Beichen's tone of voice was a little hard, so that people felt that he was a little arrogant, but he just said whatever he thought. It's like the shopkeeper Zhang said that he was praising people around the corner, in fact, how could he think so much, it was just the true thoughts of the inner world.

The shopkeeper didn't pay attention to the young man's emotions, but said lightly, "I'm just kindly reminding." If you know why, you might know better what you're doing. ”

The shopkeeper's speech was a little vague, but for some reason, Lu Beichen felt that the meaning he wanted to express was obvious, that is, to make himself less childish and spend more time on cultivation, so that he would not be looked down upon.

Thinking of these, Lu Beichen couldn't help but feel that this shopkeeper was really as he expected, although he seemed polite and wary on the surface, but it was just a means for him to protect himself, and what was really hidden under this layer was a warm-hearted heart.

"I understand what the shopkeeper means. Lu Beichen smiled bitterly, "It's just that things in the world are difficult to predict." Destiny has always been half in one's own hands and half in heaven. ”

"If you really thought so, you wouldn't be here. ”

Lu Beichen was stunned in his heart, feeling that there was something in the shopkeeper's words, and he felt more and more that he was not simple. From the first time we met, I felt that he was not simple, but at that time, I just felt that he was alone with thirteen children, and he was running a restaurant in Shengdu, how could he get to where he is today without any ability?

But from this simple conversation, he suddenly understood the meaning of the words "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"Prime Minister Zheng Hang lives in the Ocean Palace. The Ocean Palace is outside the city gate on the east side, and the location is easy to find, but if you can't get in, it depends on your ability. ”

"Outside the city gate in the east, it turns out that this prime minister doesn't live in the city?" Lu Beichen couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and continued, "That's why I didn't want to tell you questions in the first place. Prime Minister Zheng Cheng is a hero of the human race, and anyone who is not good for him will be the enemy of the people of the whole city. If you had any intentions, I would have become a sinner. ”

"When did that start and plan to tell me?" Lu Beichen looked at the shopkeeper with a smile on his face, a little curious.

"After I'm sure you're not practicing. Shopkeeper Zhang said.

Lu Beichen never thought that this shortcoming would one day become a tool for him to eliminate the vigilance of others.

He thought for a moment, then asked, "Shopkeeper, I actually have a question. Who is this prime minister?" On the day he went down the mountain, the master did not tell him in detail what kind of person Prime Minister Zheng Hang was. So he had been a little confused.

"It was an inglorious piece of history. Ten years ago, the Central Plains was in turmoil, the first emperor was mediocre, and the demon clan was united to kill the people. Fortunately, King Yan, who was camped in Biansai at that time, is now the Holy Emperor, led thousands of troops to resist and pacified the Central Plains in one fell swoop. And one of the biggest heroes is the Prime Minister Zheng Hang next to the Holy Emperor. ”

"Of course, in addition to him, there are other heroes and heroes who are assisted, and the Holy Emperor was able to build the Holy Capital here ten years ago. It's just that the reason why this prime minister is deeply loved by the people is because his attitude towards the people has remained unchanged for many years. ”

In order to protect the people, he specially built a palace outside the city, and for many years he donated money for disaster relief, and he always wore cloth clothes when he traveled. ”

"Everyone in the Holy Capital talks about the Tao in terms of realm. This prime minister has a profound realm, but there are still some people in the holy capital who are in the same realm as him. But I always thought that his understanding of heaven and earth was the true Tao. ”

Lu Beichen looked at the shopkeeper's gushing appearance, and thought to himself, what kind of excellent person can be so praised by an ordinary person? Even the shopkeeper in front of him is probably not as simple as just an ordinary person.

"So that's the case, Beichen is a long insight. Lu Beichen clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for the reminder from the shopkeeper, then I will leave first." ”

Watching the young man leave, the shopkeeper's gaze was a little complicated.

A young girl came up to her and said, "Why did Daddy talk so much to that boy? It's not your style." ”

The little girl's name is Tao'er, and she is one of the thirteen girls who make refreshments in this Guangzhilou. These thirteen girls have followed the shopkeeper since they were very young, and naturally called him their father.

And Peach is the eldest daughter.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Why did Tao'er follow me to the Holy Capital back then?"

The girl blinked and said, "From my father, I saw my father's shadow." ”

When Tao'er was seven years old, she witnessed her father's death, and later followed the shopkeeper to the Holy Capital to make a living, so she naturally remembered her biological father's appearance.

"It's the same with Dad. Today, from this young man, I saw what I looked like when I first came to the Holy Capital when I was young. ”

"Dad has been thinking about the past a lot lately. ”

"When people get old, they naturally think about the past. When I saw this young man last night, he was stupid and stunned, but he had a pair of clear eyes. Sitting quietly at the table, there is a calmness beyond ordinary people, but when communicating with people, there is a kind of youthful enthusiasm. ”

"Dad, I don't understand. "Although Tao'er is the eldest daughter, she is still a child after all.

The shopkeeper smiled but said nothing.

"It's just that I don't want to see the blood of those youths diluted alive. ”
