Chapter 41: The Evil Face Flying Eagle
This evening.
The shopkeepers of the major shops in Fang City went to the Maple Leaf Mansion on the top of Zhuye Mountain to participate in the discussion meeting held by the Huang family.
An hour later.
Mu Xiuyun returned to the store and found Lu Changan as soon as possible to explain the situation.
"The robbery that attacked me was called 'Evil Face Flying Eagle', and it was wreaked havoc in other markets many years ago. This person was chased and killed during the foundation building period, and after being injured, he lurked for several years, and actually appeared around Zhuye Mountain. ”
The first news that Mu Xiuyun said was exactly what Lu Changan cared about.
"Evil Face Flying Eagle?"
Lu Changan remembered this name, and was able to escape under the pursuit of the foundation building, which was by no means an ordinary ninth layer of qi refining, no wonder he could force Mu Xiuyun into a desperate situation.
Subsequently, Mu Xiuyun mentioned the second thing:
"For the two merchants who were attacked, the Huang family will compensate and waive the management fee of the store for the next ten years."
Ten years of management fees, the value is not low.
The Maple Leaf Huang family has some representation.
After all, the attack was not in the city, there was some distance.
Lu Changan secretly thought: "The merchants have compensation, and those scattered cultivators who died tragically are gone." ”
This is the strong of the weak in the world of cultivating immortals.
Most of the merchants in Fang City have powerful backgrounds, and some of them don't even dare to offend the Maple Leaf Huang family easily.
"In addition, the Huang family is ready to strengthen the formation and law enforcement monks in Fang City, and actively eradicate the robbery. Due to the increase in expenses, starting from next year, the management fee of merchants will be increased by 30%. ”
Mu Xiuyun's Qingyue voice had a little sarcasm.
Raise the management fee?
Lu Changan couldn't help but admire that Huang Jiazhen would take the opportunity to act.
In the first two years since the opening of the market, in order to attract popularity, the management fee is very low.
Seeing the increase in foot traffic in the market, most of the shops began to make a profit. The Huang family took advantage of the threat of "robbery and repair" to the safety of Fang City to increase the management fee of merchants.
Now the situation is really different.
In the past, it was a fang market that opened, begging people to come and do business.
Now the popularity is increasing year by year, and some people are squeezing their scalps in.
Huang Jiagong said: If you are not satisfied with the increase in management fees, you can buy the store at the current market price and give compensation.
It can be seen that the Huang family is optimistic about the future prospects of Fang City.
……
Back in the room, Lu Changan fell into deep thought.
He thought of a year ago, the shopkeeper Xu and Mrs. Zheng in Fang City, and tried every means to get himself out.
Lu Changan and Mu Xiuyun joined forces, and the business of the spirit rune shop is getting better and better, and the quality and type of runes are quite competitive.
In addition to the Feiyue Lake aquatic products and copper mining area, Mujia has another cash cow, and its development is getting smoother and smoother.
Getting rid of one of them would halt the momentum a little.
Lu Chang'an doesn't enter the oil and salt, but he doesn't go out of the city, and he has no chance at all.
Mu Xiuyun is different, occasionally going back and forth between the family and the city.
Mu Xiuyun's cultivation is high, and she has a flying boat magic weapon, so it is not easy to start, but at least she has a chance.
……
The summit of Mt. Takeba.
Maple Leaf Mansion, inside a temple.
"Yu'er, you've done a little too much this time."
An ancient old man with protruding cheekbones sat cross-legged on the futon at the top of the temple, his face was pale:
"The merchants who do business in Fang City do not have a fuel-efficient lamp, so it is really a good idea to attack them. A little girl, can you personally target and let Fang Shi bear the risk of stigma? ”
"Uncle Ling is right."
Huang Yu looked respectful and explained: "I didn't personally participate in this matter, but only provided information to the 'Evil Face Flying Eagle'. That guy became interested in a beautiful female cultivator like Miss Mu, and he actually took the initiative to do it. ”
At the mention of this, a trace of gloom flashed in Huang Yu's eyes.
He originally wanted to plan carefully, capture Mu Xiuyun, and take advantage of the Mu family and Lu Changan in the name of robbery.
However, the "Evil Face Flying Eagle" made a confident move, misestimating the quality of the talisman in Mu Xiuyun's hand, and suffered a small loss at first, and the flying eagle was injured by the talisman.
Annoyed and angry, he actually destroyed the flowers.
If Mu Xiuyun was killed, it would be enough, but he survived, and the merchants united to pressure the Huang family.
The old man snorted coldly and said lightly: "You are so self-conscious." The prosperity of this Fang City is related to the plans of my Huang family for the next hundred years. ”
……
Since Mu Xiuyun's attack, the Huang family has strengthened patrols and law enforcement around Fang City, and even dealt with several incidents of murder and treasure grabbing.
Around Zhuye Mountain, the public security environment has been improved.
The footfall in Fang City has grown steadily.
The business of each store is booming, and the increase in management fees is not so reluctant.
Three years later.
Lu Changan was promoted to the sixth floor of Qi refining, and his cultivation was even higher.
It was about the same as expected, and it took a total of six years.
The aura of plants and trees in the fang market only improved the efficiency of his cultivation.
However, it cannot change the turn of time.
Lu Changan has a lot of free time every day, practicing, drawing talismans, refining the body, alchemy, and feeding spiritual pets......
In addition, there are personal interests, drinking tea, playing chess, going to the stall area, and trying to pick up leaks.
The days are both full and leisurely.
In the four or five years since he came to Zhuye Mountain, Lu Changan was stunned and did not leave Fang City.
I don't know who it is.
He was given the nickname "Tortoise Talisman Master", which became the talk of some monks in Fang City before and after tea.
Lu Changan didn't care about this, and when he won the title of Yudan and Yuan Infant in the future, these people who laughed at him were afraid that they would become a pile of loess.
……
In the past two or three years, in addition to practice and hobbies, Lu Changan's life has changed slightly.
On this day, Lu Changan was in good spirits, got up from the bed, and got dressed.
Next to the bed, there were piles of nuns' clothes scattered.
Biza long skirt, blue belly pocket, white silk socks, delicate embroidered shoes......
In the bed, the dark fragrance fills the nose.
A beautiful body with ice muscles and jade skin, undulating curves, revealing a slender leg like snow.
Oh, it's the eldest lady's boudoir.
Mu Xiuyun opened her starry eyes, her face showed a trace of exhaustion, and she looked at Lu Changan, who was alive and vibrant, with a little resentment in her eyes.
There is a saying: there are only tired cows, not ploughed fields.
However, for Lu Changan, who cultivated Evergreen Gong, this sentence did not apply.
"Lu Lang, people have to wear clothes, don't peek!"
Behind him, there was the sound of a beautiful woman getting dressed.
Lu Changan came to the window, his mind was in a trance, and he felt that the two or three years of nourishment had passed so quickly.
Three years ago.
After the healing of "coming back from the dead", the eldest lady gradually let go of the reserve of her identity, sometimes flirted with her eyebrows, and took the initiative to discuss Fu Yi.
Once she drew talismans together, she confided her true feelings: her life was given by Lu Changan, even if Lu Changan wanted to leave in the future, she was willing.
Speaking of which, for the sake of it.
If Lu Changan resigns, he will not be a normal man, not even a eunuch.
After many years of getting along with lonely men and orphans, under the fire of dry firewood, the two people who have a good impression of each other sleep in the same bed naturally.
In all corners of the eldest lady's boudoir, there were traces of the two of them.
Of course, no matter how affectionate and strong.
Lu Chang'an was calm in his heart, and he used the secret method in "The Secret of Locking the Dragon" to preserve the dragon essence without losing it, and he would never leave an heir.
……
Early morning.
On the first floor of the store, Mu Ershun and Mu Shan sorted out the goods at the counter.
Nowadays, both apprentices can refine some first-order talismans, but the success rate is not high, and they float up and down the capital preservation line.
Mu Xiuyun inspected the store to check and fill in the gaps.
Lu Changan didn't care about the shop, and was going to go to the stall area of the loose repair.
In his previous life, he had heard that some monks were picking up leaks in the stall area and buying magic weapons and strange things that were obscured or sealed.
Therefore, in the years he has been in Fang City, he often visits the stall area to see if he can pick up the leak.
Anyway, there is a lot of time, try your luck.
In a few years, he really picked up a leak and found a handkerchief-sized fragment of a magic weapon.
It is shaped like a piece of cowhide, invulnerable to fire and water, and the material is flexible.
The magic weapon, at least corresponds to the Dan period.
Even if it is a fragment of a magic weapon, it can't be used with Lu Changan's cultivation, so it is simply used as a heart shield and attached to the inner lining of the outer robe.
After walking around the stall area, there was nothing to gain.
I went to the teahouse to sit idly again, and heard the voices of many monks.
"At the auction held by Zhuye Mountain this time, I heard that a Tsukidan is going to be auctioned?"
"Tsukidan? Really? ”
"It's not just Zhuji Dan, but also the best spiritual weapon, the longevity pill ......"
Early in the morning, the teahouse was much more lively than usual.
Lu Changan sipped his tea, and was not at all surprised by the auction and the discussion of Tsukidan.
The merchants in the market will know the news of the auction a month in advance.
The Huang family once sent an invitation to the Mu's Spirit Rune Shop, hoping that the store could come up with a batch of high-grade runes for auction.
The Maple Leaf Huang family decided to hold a large-scale auction in Zhuye Mountain three months later.
There is indeed a rumor of Tsukidan.
In addition, the Imperial Beast Zhou family will concentrate on selling a batch of high-quality spirit beasts at that time.
For a while, the nearby immortal cultivation families, and even the scattered cultivators and sect monks further afield all got the news.
"Tsukidan, ah......"
Lu Changan took a sip of tea and sighed secretly.
After several rounds of foreshadowing, the city of Zhuye Shanfang will become the center of the wave.
This is also what the Huang family wants to achieve, to make Zhuye Shanfang City really prosperous!
As the auction approaches.
The flow of people in Zhuye Shanfang City is increasing day by day.
Recently, Lu Changan even received letters from Zhao Siyao and Lin Yi.
Knowing about the auction event in Takehayama, these two friends are ready to come over to participate.
