In addition to the "Red Stone Building", the most attractive thing for Chen Bai is the storyteller on the roadside.

An emaciated old man, dressed in a robe, a folding fan, a table, and a cup of tea.

The posture is strong, but there is no business.

The tea house is not big, and there are not many tea customers.

However, there is a special seat reserved for the storyteller, and there is also a special area for listening to books, but there is no one sitting in the special area.

Chen Bai observed for a while, and occasionally a child came running and whispered in the storyteller's ear, but the storyteller always slapped the folding fan and shook his head.

Chen Bai walked into the teahouse with Xia Jiaoxi and sat down in the storyteller's area.

Ran Tang hurriedly sent tea, but Chen Bai refused, just asked for a glass of white water, and the same was true for Xia Jiaoxi.

When the storyteller saw someone sitting down, he got up and clenched his fists, and then took a sip of tea, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Chen Bai motioned for Xia Jiaoxi to pay.

Xia Jiaoxi turned his money bag and found that he didn't have much money left after paying the hotel accommodation fee.

But seeing that Chen Bai didn't dare to refute, he took out a third of the copper and handed it to the storyteller.

There is no additional charge for tea in the listening area.

As soon as the storyteller received the money, he came over to ask for the money.

As soon as the storyteller wanted to speak, two people dressed as guards stepped forward to collect a share of the money.

In the end, there were not a few coppers left in the hands of the storyteller.

However, the storyteller seemed to have long been accustomed to these behaviors, and turned the few remaining coppers around, listened to the crisp sound of the coppers colliding, and put the copper in his pocket with satisfaction.

Mr. Storyteller looked at the two young listeners in front of him, thought for a moment, and then came up with an idea.

With a "snap", I saw the storyteller slap the folding fan on the table, and then began to speak:

"Today, I will tell you the story of the famous concubine of Lingdong Mansion and Liu Zizi for the two masters."

"Liu Zizi, the only daughter of the head of the Liu Chamber of Commerce."

"Fourteen years ago, the head of the Liu Society was outside the city of Yangui and was killed by bandits, and since then the Liu family has come to an end."

Speaking of which, I only heard another "pop".

The storyteller slapped the fan on the table again, and then continued: "After two years, the Liu family completely disappeared, and the four-year-old Liu Zizi was exiled to Zhangtai Street, Lingdong Prefecture, and was adopted by "Yifang Building", which opened a generation of famous Himeji. ”

"If you want to say that this willow posture is twenty-eight years old, it is like the eyebrows of the distant mountains and the daisies, the eyes are like the autumn water with affection, the skin is like the peach blossoms with a smile, and the color is unique."

"Attract the sons of various chambers of commerce, the powerful of the capital, the powerful teachers, and the people of the thick sea, who are not far away from tens of thousands of miles to admire, just to see the beautiful ............"

The tea guest sitting next to him did not react, looking like he was tired of hearing it.

Xia Jiaoxi couldn't even swallow his saliva when he heard it, and after entering Zhengshi County, it seemed that he had reopened a door to his life, and he found that life could be so colorful when he came here.

Chen Bai is not very interested in this level of speech, but carefully extracts the useful information that the storyteller said:

"Zhuang, Yi does not mention the sea, it seems that there is no restriction in other places."

"There is no tax for the people of Zhuang and Yi, but other places are still taxed."

"Lingshan, except for Zhuang, near Yi. Other areas may be plagued by banditry. ”

.….….…

After the story of the famous Ji Liu Zizi was finished, the storyteller moistened his throat, coughed lightly, and then sat down, and did not continue to speak, but looked at Chen Bai and the others with a smile.

Xia Jiaoxi was still intoxicated with it, looking like a nymphomaniac.

Chen Bai was calculating how many entanglements there were, whether to let the storyteller tell a little more, after all, from the storyteller's story, some information can be obtained.

At this moment, I saw a group of people, carrying monkeys passing by the teahouse, and more and more people gathered in front.

Chen Bai was also curious when he saw this, and beckoned Xia Jiaoxi to go and take a look.

.….….…

Nearly 100 people carrying monkeys blocked in front of the Lan Chamber of Commerce's shop.

A voice came from the front of the crowd: "Why don't you accept it, you can collect it well in the morning, but you won't accept it in the afternoon." ”

"If we had known that we would not have taken it, we would not have caught it, and in order to catch the monkey, we would have been covered in injuries."

The shopkeeper of the Lan Chamber of Commerce is an old man in his sixties.

Dressed in a blue robe, clean and neat, not tall, but standing straight and looking more capable.

Standing at the door of the shop, facing everyone, although frowning, he still did not lose his calmness.

In fact, the shopkeeper now is also bitter, and the guy has confirmed that Lan Yixu has left the city gate and has left.

Then the question of who will pay for these monkeys becomes a question.

When Lan Yixu didn't leave, although he didn't pay cash, he had to sign it anyway.

Now that Lan Yixu is gone, it is impossible for him, the shopkeeper, to pay for it.

Looking at so many monkeys in front of him, he couldn't afford it.

However, you can't let the shop be surrounded like this.

I saw the shopkeeper clasping his fists and saying, "Please go back first, and let's discuss how to minimize your losses." ”

A voice came from the crowd: "No, we're leaving, what if you don't recognize it tomorrow, it must be solved today." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper was not in a hurry, as if he was waiting for something.

.….….….…

Bangshi County, county government, government office.

The fat county lord was lying on the rocking chair, and there were two maids feeding the county lord fruit.

Jun Cheng stood aside and reported what was happening in front of the Lan Chamber of Commerce.

After the county lord finished eating the fruit in his mouth, he waved his hand to stop the fruit that the maid continued to send.

He didn't get up, but he turned his head and said to the county government: "Let those people bring the monkey to the government office, and come to the county government to receive the money in a few days." ”

"Then I sealed the shop of the Lan Chamber of Commerce."

"Let the Lan Chamber of Commerce pay three times the price to buy it back from the government, and pay another fine as a punishment."

Jun Cheng frowned, bent down, and got as close to the county lord as possible, and then asked, "On what grounds?" ”

The county lord kicked the ground with his foot, making the rocking chair move, and then said: "Disturb the order, deceive the business, just set up whatever you want." ”

"However, that's the Lan Chamber of Commerce's shop." Jun Cheng said hesitantly.

I saw that the county lord said with an indifferent face: "Don't forget that my surname is Chen." ”

"Hong, Chen, Lan, Lu, Bai, Zong, Wei, Chu."

"No matter which end you count, I'll press him, don't worry."

.….….…

Jun Cheng personally led the team to seize the shop of the Lan Chamber of Commerce, and only then did he end the farce in front of the shop of the Lan Chamber of Commerce.

The reason given is indeed very casual: "Don't buy monkeys." ”

Chen Bai, who was watching the excitement on the side, was also taken aback, and wondered in his heart: "Is it so casual, if you don't buy monkeys, you will seal the shop." ”

The crowd on one side was very happy, and they no longer pestered, and prepared to send the monkey to the county government, waiting for two days to go to the county government to receive the money.

By the time the crowd had dispersed, it was time for the sun to set.

Chen Bai and Xia Jiaoxi were about to go back to find Mr. Storyteller, but found that Mr. Storyteller had left.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them could only eat something at will and went back to the hotel.

.….….…

The two asked for two rooms, which Chen Bai requested.

Chen Bai sat in the room, pondering the obstacles to continue westward.

"I don't know how the little black man is, if he will meet bandits."

"This world is not safe, diligent cultivation is."

"There's not much entanglement, we have to find a way to make some money."

Chen Bai thought about it, and found that at this moment, he could only see if he could improve his cultivation a little, and he would consider the entangled matter tomorrow.

After figuring it out, Chen Bai got up from the stool, then sat cross-legged on the ground, and silently recited the Jingjing Sutra in his heart.

As he meditated over and over again, he once again settled down and felt the three essences of blue, yellow, and red.

The blue essence qi had already filled the entire lungs, and Chen Bai deliberately guided the yellow essence qi to the liver location.

As the yellow essence kept washing over the liver, just two hours passed, and only a trace of essence was hidden by the liver.

Chen Bai opened his eyes, but he didn't get up, and smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth: "It's too slow, but it's considered to be a wrestler, but what is this, is it 0.01 order." ”

Uncle Xuan is not around now, and Chen Bai has no way to find the answer.

In fact, even if Uncle Urging is on the side, he can't give an answer.

Hiding the soul is much more difficult than condensing, and most people are extremely poor all their lives and just stay in Lifu, and they can't hide the soul.

However, once the wrestlers are reached, the breakthrough is an ascent of one order after another, and it is unheard of to rise by one hundredth. After all, the spirit, the soul, and the god have never been so concrete.

Although Chen Bai wondered about the degree of cultivation, he didn't dwell too much.

I saw Chen Bai take out the materials of the accumulation device that Uncle Urging gave him, and closed his eyes and recalled the way of the Accumulation Instrument that Uncle Urging said.

"Guide the liver to hide the soul, wrap the material or device, integrate it into the liver, and nourish it with liver and blood."

Chen Bai channeled the trace of yellow essence and tried to wrap the starfall fragment in his hand, but found that the essence was too little to wrap.

Despite this, Chen Bai did not intend to give up, and felt the Starfall Fragments with his soul.

At this moment, Chen Bai suddenly felt a lightness in his hand, and was about to open his eyes to check, but a sharp pain came from his head, and then he fainted in pain.

.….….…

Midnight.

Bangseok County, the county seat.

There are so many monkeys that it takes too much time to settle them.

Seeing that the lights in the county lord's room had not been extinguished, the county went to the door to report the situation.

"County Lord, the monkeys have all been arranged."

At this time, Lord Chen had just returned from drinking in the "Red Stone Building", and he did not go to bed to rest, but was sobering up.

When he heard Jun Cheng's voice, he beckoned Jun Cheng into the house.

After Jun Cheng entered the house, he turned around and closed the door, and then walked to the county lord and said worriedly: "County lord, what if the Lan Chamber of Commerce doesn't come to buy the monkey back?" ”

The county lord Chen Pang blushed, with a rouge smell, but his thinking was very clear, and he burped and said to the county Cheng: "If you don't buy it back, it will be sealed all the time, don't worry, they will definitely come to buy it back." ”

Seeing that Jun Cheng still didn't understand, he said: "The Chamber of Commerce cares most about the integrity of the business territory. ”

"If the shop in the Lan Chamber of Commerce in Hongshi County is sealed, the Lan Chamber of Commerce will have one less information channel, so they are in a hurry."

"Of course, if the shopkeeper of this Lan Chamber of Commerce is a straw bag, then the money will be paid by the Chen Chamber of Commerce."

Lan's Chamber of Commerce, a shop in Zhengshi County.

The shopkeeper instructed the men to prepare the money, wait until the next morning morning to go to the county government to pay, and then unseal the shop.

The guy muttered, "I knew I would be fined so much, so I might as well buy it in the first place." ”

The shopkeeper obviously heard it, but he didn't say anything.

I just thought in my heart: "The fat fourth master of the Chen family is really not as straw as rumored by the outside world." ”
