Xia Fan and Lingyu walked comfortably on the streets of Lonely Smoke City, which was a rare leisurely ride for a long time.

"Young Master Fan, aren't we going to find Brother Yin and Blazing Yang?" Ling Yu smiled beautifully although she had questions.

"Don't worry, it's early!" Xia Fan said with a smile, "We haven't walked around this city yet, we just have money and time right now, why don't we hurry up and squander the 160,000 alchemy that the old ghost gave us?"

"Young Master Fan, although 160,000 alchemy is not a small amount, it should also be used carefully, if it is used in cultivation, it will also be of great help. Lingyu smiled and advised Xia Fan.

"It doesn't matter what you practice, Sister Lingyu's liking is the most important thing!

Xia Fan casually threw a golden ticket to a stall that happened to pass by and didn't know what to sell, and pointed proudly, "That and that, buy and buy, all of them are packed and sent to the Rising Smoke Pavilion!"

"Okay!" said the stall owner.

Lingyu snatched back the golden ticket and said hurriedly, "I don't know what those things are, so I took a curious look, why did Young Master Fan buy it?"

"You've got a crush!

"Young Master Fan, it's not such a way to spend money when you have money!

"There is indeed a grudge, because of this money, we were almost killed by that old ghost in the Thousand Nights City, I have to spend his money on a personal god!"

"Young Master, Jin Ben is not guilty, the disaster is due to life, there will be problems with using money indiscriminately like this!" Ling Yu was a little anxious.

"Okay, Sister Lingyu, don't be angry, I just don't buy it!" Xia Fan said hurriedly.

Ling Yu turned her face and smiled, "Young Master Fan, don't blame Ling Yu for being verbose, it's just that Ling Yu has been educated by the Long clan since she was a child, and she has been a little strict about the concept of money, but this is also the root of the Long clan's prosperity for thousands of years." ”

"Long Clan?" Xia Fan saw Ling Yu casually mention the Long Clan, so he took advantage of the situation and asked, "What kind of clan is that?" Since people call your third sister a princess, do you say that the Long Clan is a royal family?"

Ling Yu shook her head, "The Long clan has never held any royal power, and it is not a royal family, but people respect the Long clan very much, so they are called like that." ”

"But I always hear people say that the Long clan of Lonely Smoke City, it seems that the entire Lonely Smoke City belongs to the Long family?"

"That's probably right. ”

"That's similar to the royal family, the Rising Smoke Pavilion also has to follow the instructions of the Long Clan, right?"

"It's not all like that. Lingyu said as she walked, "However, the Long Clan does play a crucial role in the establishment of the Lonely Smoke City and the Mercenary Guild, so the Mercenary Guild has always respected the Long Clan. ”

"What's the story?" Xia Fan asked.

Lingyu nodded and spoke eloquently.

"About a thousand years ago, not long after the fall of the Thousand Nights Dynasty, the Great Mo Domain was in chaos at that time, and many people hoped to rise in that troubled era, so some people entered the Great Mo Domain to find the legendary Breath of the Earth.

At that time, people didn't know the exact location of the Earth's Breath, so it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

And it was at that time that the ancestors of the Long clan spared no expense to exchange for the secret information of the Breath of the Earth from somewhere, and accurately grasped the specific location where the Breath of the Earth would appear.

So the ancestors of the Long clan found here.

At that time, it was still a wasteland, and there was no trace of people.

And those who are struggling to find the breath of the earth are still looking for a needle in a haystack, aimlessly passing by the right place for the breath of the earth again and again.

The ancestors of the Long clan did not monopolize the secrets of the Breath of the Earth, but instead raised a lonely smoke here, attracting the people who blindly consumed this life in the endless wasteland.

Gradually, more and more people were attracted by the lonely smoke, and the ancestors of the Long clan announced the location of the breath of the earth, and spent a lot of money to build a city here, which is now the lonely smoke city.

And among the people looking for the breath of the earth, there is naturally no shortage of mercenaries, and they are the majority.

However, at that time, the mercenary world was a scattered business, so the ancestors of the Long clan funded the formation of a mercenary guild here to provide all the needs of the mercenaries in the past.

After that, the mercenary guild continued to grow, and the branches spread, and gradually developed into the current situation, and the mercenary guild in Lonely Smoke City was enshrined as the mercenary guild.

After that, the ancestors of the Long clan spent a huge amount of money to build a Xuan Array that could enable people to pass through space and return from the secret realm of Wanhua, and since then, the Lonely Smoke City and the Mercenary Guild have been out of control and have become a pivotal existence in the Great Mo Domain.

And the Lonely Smoke City and the Space Xuan Array are actually the property of the Long Clan, and the Mercenary Guild has always been funded and supported by the Long Clan, so people regard the Long Clan as the respect of the Lonely Smoke City, and the Mercenary Guild has always obeyed and respected the Long Clan.

This is the origin of the relationship between the Long Clan and the Lone Smoke City and the Mercenary Guild. ”

After listening to Lingyu's narration, Xia Fan sighed sincerely, "It turns out that the Long clan is taking the route of a business empire! The entrepreneurial history of your ancestors is really a model in the industry!"

"There are indeed few people in the Long clan who cultivate martial arts and practice fighting, but they are born to learn the way of imperial gold. It's just that Lingyu doesn't have much talent and hasn't learned too many skills. However, Lingyu's third sister is indeed a genius in this way, and no one can compare!"

"The third princess of Long is indeed an extraordinary person, but she can stand for a thousand years and prosper for a long time, which shows that the way of doing business in the Long family is really extraordinary!"

"Lingyu rarely cares about those things, so she doesn't know much about ......."

Xia Fan nodded, it seemed that Lingyu didn't want to think about Long's affairs anymore, so Xia Fan stopped asking in depth, turned to some light-hearted topics, and said some jokes from time to time to make Lingyu laugh, and the two continued to hang out happily.

As she walked, Ling Yu suddenly stopped in surprise and looked carefully at a table stall not far in front of her.

Xia Fan looked at Ling Yu suspiciously, "What's the matter, Sister Ling Yu, what do you like?"

"Huh, isn't that the blind old man who sold books in front of the Chenxin City Mercenary Guild?" Ling Yu said in surprise.

"Huh?" Xia Fan couldn't help but look forward curiously when he heard this.

I saw a blind old man in ragged clothes sitting behind a square table, who looked ruddy if he was down, and was pitiful but complacent. At this time, there was not a single book beside the old man, but there was a hexagram compass on the table.

"Young Master Fan, let's go over and have a look. Lingyu walked to the blind old man's stall suspiciously, and Xia Fan also followed suit.

"Uncle, what are you practicing here?" Walking to the stall, Xia Fan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the blind old man, and asked loudly.

The blind old man frowned and said unhappily, "I am blind in my eyes and not deaf in my ears!"

"The temper is quite big...... Xia Fan sneered, "You may not be able to see it, today's business is good, the books are all stolen, go home and rest!"

"I've stopped selling books for a long time. The blind old man obviously didn't want to deal with Xia Fan, but he turned his face to Ling Yu as if he could see it, smiled all over his face, pointed to a bamboo stool in front of the table and said respectfully, "Miss, you're here, please take a seat!"

Ling Yu and Xia Fan looked at each other in surprise, and Ling Yu asked in surprise, "Old man, do you recognize me?"

"Yes, yes!" said the blind old man.

"Aren't you always invisible?" Xia Fan said strangely.

"Do you have to use your eyes to recognize people?" The blind old man was very impatient with Xia Fan.

"Then you don't sell books now, what kind of business are you doing here?"

The blind old man silently pointed to the banner behind him.

Xia Fan noticed that there was a cloth banner standing behind the old man's chair, and he saw a few big characters written on it.

Xia Fan read word by word, "As soon as Chrysostom opens, there is no question to understand."

It looks like a hexagram stall.

Xia Fan saw that the words were written in a very elegant manner, and asked curiously, "Uncle, did you write those words yourself?"

The blind old man unhappily touched his hand to the cloth banner behind him, and after touching it, he pulled the cloth banner and shook it twice, revealing the half of the banner that was somehow folded inside, and it turned out that there were a few other words that were blocked.

"A piece of alchemy, as soon as the mouth of gold opens, as soon as the real gold is connected, there is no question and no understanding. ”

"......" Xia Fan and Ling Yu looked at each other in a daze, this blind old man is poor and crazy, right?

Xia Fan smiled, took out a golden ticket and shook it in front of the blind old man, and said with a smile, "You mean that you don't accept gold and don't answer questions, right?"

"Smack!"

The blind old man suddenly grabbed the golden ticket in Xia Fan's hand, and stuffed it into his arms with extremely neat movements!

Xia Fan originally wanted to tease the blind old man, but he didn't want the blind old man to be so violent, which really scared Xia Fan!

"Can you see it or not?!" Xia Fan asked in shock.

"I can't see it, I can't see it. The blind old man replied.

"Then you are so accurate in snatching my golden ticket?"

"Calculated, I calculated it early in the morning, the old blind man has a windfall of one hundred real gold coming to him at three moments, right now!" the blind old man couldn't help but say happily.

"......" Xia Fan looked at Ling Yu in a daze, the golden ticket just now was indeed a hundred real gold denominations.

"Uncle, I took the wrong one, I took the wrong one, I'll change it for you. Xia Fan regretted very much that he didn't take a small denomination.

"Don't change it! Don't change it! Just ask if you have anything you want to ask, don't ask it!" The blind old man resolutely didn't mean to return the golden ticket to Xia Fan.

"It's not that you're always robbing money!" Xia Fan said angrily.

"No, absolutely not! Just ask, it's definitely worth it. The blind old man said confidently.

"I asked, if you can't answer, will you refund the money?" Xia Fan said angrily.

"You ask, it is impossible to return the money!" said the blind old man stiffly.

“...... How many stars are there in the Milky Way?...... "Xia Fan hated himself for not doing his job properly when he was in school at this time, and he didn't write down any high-end problems, otherwise he would have to take a good look at this hateful scoundrel old blind man.

"Young man, don't be too distressed, even if you ask some marginal questions, you don't know if I solve them right or wrong, don't waste your brains. To tell you the truth, the old blind man's windfall today is destined, and there is absolutely no one to run!"

"Then you can count so well, don't you know what I'm going to ask?" Xia Fan said with a wit.

If it were this young lady, the old blind man would naturally explain what the young lady was thinking, and he didn't need to open his mouth. But if it's you, then we have to follow the rules, otherwise my old blind man will figure out what you think, and you still have to deny it and smash my stall!"

"Heh, you're still a sperm!" Xia Fan snorted unconvinced, "Then what do you say this young lady wants to ask?"

As soon as Xia Fan spoke, Ling Yu's cheeks couldn't help but blush.

The blind old man sighed and said earnestly, "Miss, you are going to die of this heart! It is absolutely impossible for you to be with this kid!"

“！？......”
