Chapter 157: Striking the Chopsticks and Chanting the Poems
However, the matter of Uncle Shi's broken arm was indeed caused by Zhou Yang, and he had no reason to refute it.
Zhou Yang organized his sentence slightly, and then said: "I did go out with my uncle, but we were attacked by high-level demon beasts on the way, and we managed to escape with all our might. Unfortunately, Uncle Shi was seriously injured by the demon beast who had his arm cut off. It's true that I didn't take care of it, and I regret it a lot. ”
Listening to the meaning of Cheng Shijie's words, Uncle Shi didn't tell him what happened before, since Uncle Shi didn't feel the need to say it, he could deal with it.
"What's the use of remorse, Elder Zhong was already ostracized within the sect, and now he has broken his arm, and his situation is even more difficult. Previously, he told the Council of Elders that it would not take more than a month to go out, although it was only a dozen days later, and he was impeached by several elders of the Council of Elders.
If it weren't for the teacher's protection, maybe he would have been removed from his position as an elder at this time. These old guys are really not things!"
The more Cheng Shijie spoke, the more angry he became, and finally he scolded, where is the demeanor of a Confucian literati.
"Uncle Shi was impeached for such a trivial matter, it's really unreasonable!" Zhou Yang was also a little angry.
"At present, the incident has subsided, but Elder Zhong has been closed all day, and the disciple is afraid that he will be depressed and fall into a knot, so he can only go to comfort him. But fortunately, Elder Zhong is open-minded and doesn't take these things to heart, except for his love for Yidao, he has been concentrating on cultivation these days, in order to find the Great Dao. ”
"Oh, that's fine. However, in charge of the affairs of the sect, the noble master should be able to uphold justice. Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief, he was also afraid that Uncle Shi would not be able to think about it and there would be some accidents.
"There are a lot of juniors in the Council of Elders, and everyone is golden, and the master also has to take care of a little. Cheng Shijie has a lot of respect for Wang Wuji.
"It's better to have fewer things so that you can concentrate on your cultivation. By the way, I heard that Wang Mengdao also went to the mine, but is there such a thing?" Mo Chenglong interjected.
"Don't mention that ungrateful rat, Cheng Mou will definitely be inseparable from him!" Cheng Shijie drank the wine and put it on the table.
"Okay, what do other people's affairs have to do with me, come on, come on, and drink a big cup!" Zhou Yang saw that Cheng Shijie was unhappy, so he no longer mentioned those unpleasant things, and raised a glass to drink with the three of them.
The atmosphere at the banquet was warm again.
"If the three of you think this wine is acceptable, the younger brother is cheeky and wants to get a few more pots, and I will pour them for you first. Not mentioning the affairs of the sect, Cheng Shijie resumed his literati style, and even claimed to be a junior brother again.
He poured Huanglin wine for the three of them and himself, and then the four of them drank it all.
Two jugs of wine were only enough for them to taste.
After drinking Huanglin wine, the four of them changed the wine and drank again, and when they drank to the happy place, Cheng Shijie was so proud that he struck the hoop and chanted on the spot.
Song said: Tai Chi gives birth to heaven and earth,
When chaos first opened.
The day of the gathering of the immortals,
All things are alive.
Where the dust is glorious,
The dream is clear.
Thousands of laws enter by themselves,
From the mortal into the Tao.
Everywhere you go,
The dreams of all beings come to nothing.
Amazing talents,
to be at the peak.
Dao Ji seeks immortals,
Searching for nowhere to be found.
There is Lingyunzhi in the belly,
You can wait endlessly.
Nine heavens look down on all things,
Be bold and at ease.
Immortal Fan thought,
In reciprocating reincarnation.
After singing, Cheng Shijie laughed and drank three cups in a row. At this time, he really looked like a talented literati, and he was even more free and uninhibited.
The ten sentences of the monastic path that he chanted are not only as simple as poems and songs, but also contain the entire process of entering immortals from mortals, although the meaning is simple, but it seems to contain the infinite avenue.
Although the immortal theory is ethereal, the difficulty of entering the Tao from the mortal mentioned in the poem is real, and in the end, only a few people can reach the peak and go to the nine heavens.
"Immortals are in a reincarnation, are there really immortals? Do immortals also have to be reincarnated?" Zhou Yang muttered to himself, and Mo Chenglong and Shen Tugang also fell into deep thought.
The banquet dispersed, and Cheng Shijie said goodbye and returned to Ziyuanzong.
Zhou Yang pondered alone in the quiet room, his entry into the immortal was too ethereal, and it was too far away from him, and it was useless to think too much. The urgent matter at present is the question of Yangtian Pavilion's future way out.
Liu and Liang have no plans to continue their business, and it is a matter of time before they leave.
The two of them still have nearly half of the shares, if they withdraw their shares, they will take away a large amount of spirit stones, and then Yangtian Pavilion will be even worse, can they still hold on?
This matter must be carefully considered and planned in advance.
Now Zhou Yang has a lot of things to consider, and he has no heart to cultivate, but the way of management is not just to be able to get through by being smart, you have to work hard, use your brains, and you have to find opportunities, and you have to dare to do it.
Thinking hard to no avail, he simply stopped thinking, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, there is no road to open the road, the mountain blocks the mountain, first sleep beautifully.
On the second day, Zhou Yang continued to apply the disfigurement potion, and left Yangtian Pavilion and went straight to Liberty Square City.
Liberty Square City is still built in the previous location, but it covers a wider area, but there are many fewer stall owners, and the whole Liberty Square City seems a little empty.
There are fewer types of materials on the market than before, but the prices are still lower than in the store, so some people who are shy of money are still willing to come to Liberty Square.
In the days when he was in Tuyan City before, Zhou Yang was also a frequent customer here, and he basically never entered the store.
There are also a few acquaintances here, among whom Shopkeeper Xiao is one, who once helped him escape from Tuyan City.
But Zhou Yang walked all over the Liberty Square City and didn't see the shadow of Shopkeeper Xiao, and asked the stall owner, but most of them said that they hadn't seen it.
He walked to the end of Liberty Square City and was about to walk back, when a voice came from the corner: "Fellow Daoist, take a look, I have mid-level demon beast materials here." ”
Zhou Yang turned his head and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the ground, there were several items in front of him, most of them were ordinary things, and there were some intermediate demon beast materials.
However, what interested Zhou Yang was a Dan furnace, an old Dan furnace, which was similar to the one he used before.
His heart moved, he looked at the Dan furnace, and then looked carefully at the middle-aged shopkeeper.
The man's face was haggard, his hair was shaggy, and his face was a little blue, which was obviously a sign of internal injuries. And this person was sitting cross-legged on the ground, although the robe covered the lower part of his body, Zhou Yang still saw that he was missing a leg.
The appearance has changed greatly, but Zhou Yang finally recognized this person, who was the shopkeeper Li who sold him the old Dan furnace.
"You're the shopkeeper Li, right! Why, you were also injured in the beast tide?"
"Alas, the past is unbearable, don't mention it again. By the way, do you know me?" shopkeeper Li waved his hand, unwilling to mention that painful memory, and then looked at Zhou Yang suspiciously.
"I bought something from Shopkeeper Li. ”
"Oh. "There are not a few people who have bought things from him before, but they don't pay much attention to it.
"How to sell this Dan furnace?" Zhou Yang pointed to the old Dan furnace.
"Since they are acquaintances, you can give thirty first-grade spirit stones. ”
"Okay, I want it. Zhou Yang did not hesitate, took out thirty spirit stones and handed them to Shopkeeper Li.
Shopkeeper Li was stunned for a moment, this dilapidated Dan furnace had been placed for a long time and no one cared about it, but the cultivator in front of him didn't even pay back the price, so he directly took out the spirit stone, which was really generous.
But what was the use of him asking for a dilapidated Dan furnace? But since the trade came, it was naturally a good thing, so Shopkeeper Li hurriedly wrapped the Dan furnace and served it with both hands.
Zhou Yang took the Dan furnace, put it in the storage bag, and pointed to those intermediate demon beast materials and said, "I want these too." ”
"Good, good. "Shopkeeper Li hasn't done such a big business for a long time, and the person in front of him who bought the materials of nearly a hundred spirit stones from him at once really met a nobleman.
"By the way, I used to buy some materials from Shopkeeper Xiao before the beast tide, I don't know where he is now?" Zhou Yang paid the spirit stone and asked again.
"Alas, I'm much luckier than him, Brother Xiao has already been buried in the mouth of the demon beast. Shopkeeper Li sighed.
"What, Shopkeeper Xiao is dead!" Although Zhou Yang had this kind of expectation before, but when he heard Shopkeeper Li confirm it himself, he still felt a little sour in his heart, besides, he was buried in the mouth of the demon beast, and his death was too miserable.
He will always remember those who have been kind to him, but now there is no chance to repay them.
Shopkeeper Li was stunned when he saw this, it was difficult for the person in front of him to have an old friend with Shopkeeper Xiao, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.
Zhou Yang felt out of shape, straightened his thoughts, and then said: "I have some friendship with Shopkeeper Xiao, and I feel uncomfortable when he leaves." ”
"People can't be resurrected after death, Taoist friends, please mourn!" shopkeeper Li persuaded.
"Alas, I hope he will go all the way and be reincarnated as soon as possible. By the way, shopkeeper Li, does he still have a family to survive?"
"I have an only son, named Xiao Qing, but he has no cultivation qualifications. Now he has no other livelihood and works as a slave in a large family. ”
"Xiao Qing, dare to ask which family you are a slave in?" Zhou Yang's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.
"The Gong family, a famous big family in Tu Yancheng. However, he did not do some chores in the inner courtyard of the Gong family, but in the spiritual field of the Gong family outside Tuyan City. ”
"Oh, thank you. Fellow Daoist, you are busy first, and you will say goodbye next. Zhou Yang hugged his fists.
"Fellow Daoist walks slowly. Shopkeeper Li gave it away, and muttered: "It seems that this Taoist friend is also a person who values love and righteousness, Xiao Qing is blessed." ”
Zhou Yang left the market and continued to go in and out of various stores to understand the commodity market.
Xiao Qing's matter is not in a hurry, Lingtian's work is not bad, at least his life is not in danger.
But after all, he is a slave, and when he goes back, he will ask Cheng Shijie for help, redeem the people, and first place them in Yangtian Pavilion as a buddy, which can be regarded as an explanation to the shopkeeper Xiao.
After a day of wandering, the harvest is not big, all the items that the cultivators need, they are basically sold on the market, and the price is not much different from Anping.
Back in Yangtian Pavilion, there were a few people who were exchanging demon beast materials for items.
Mo Chenglong was also in the store, talking to a guy, and when he saw Zhou Yang coming back, he confessed a few words to the guy and went to the backyard with Zhou Yang.
"Where did you go around, how was it?" asked Mo Chenglong after taking his seat.
"I looked at it casually, and I didn't get anything, but I saw an old man. ”
"Tu Yan is your hometown, so naturally there is an old man. Mo Chenglong said with a smile.
