Chapter 101: On the Road
The world doesn't seem to have changed at all, although Chen Xi has no intention of looking at the scenery on the road, but he can't help but feel a little emotion in his heart. Looking at the ordinary people walking on the road, Chen Xi suddenly realized that it was a kind of happiness that he didn't know. They didn't know that five years later, there might be a catastrophe in Tianfu Da6, so they still lived an ordinary but contented life.
From Mantianzong to the imperial capital, they don't know how many thousands of miles away, and when the three of them arrive in Qingzhou Yushui City, they will face another separation.
Gao Qingshu decided to leave for the time being, to contact Chen Qianran's friend and his friends back then, and make some preparations for five years later. Chen Xi hadn't decided whether to tell Gao Qingshu and Chen Dingdong about the things in the Endless Abyss that were actually people's evil thoughts, and what Li Lanfeng's shadow said to him made him have to be cautious.
Gao Qingshu and Chen Dingdang only knew that those things in the Endless Abyss were powerful and terrifying, and they only knew that those things might be killed and cause trouble in the world after five years. Chen Xi finally decided to wait until later to talk about it, after all, what the old man was worried about was that once the news spread, it would cause panic, which was equivalent to adding infinite power to those things in the Endless Abyss.
"Sir, I gave a friend the Orientation Treasure you gave me. ”
Chen Xi said a little apologetically: "When I killed Fu Jinglun at that time, I needed his help. ”
Gao Qingshu shook his head: "It's okay, Chen Dingdang will follow you to the imperial capital, and he will take you to find a place to stay." I'll go to the Imperial Capital to look for you after I've got the people in place, and I know that place. ”
Chen Dingdang nodded: "I have a mansion in the Imperial Capital City, but I haven't been back for at least twenty years. ”
He glanced at Chen Xi and said with a smile: "In the Mantian Sect, no one except your father knows that Gao Qingshu and I left the Imperial Capital City together and entered the Mantian Sect to practice together. It's just that we weren't under a teaching sect, and the two of us also deliberately showed our rustiness at that time, but in fact, it was just to take care of it secretly. ”
"At that time, you were still a domineering young master. ”
Gao Qingshu thought of what happened decades ago, and couldn't help laughing: "And I'm a small long-term worker. ”
Chen Ding breathed a long sigh of relief: "What is the difference between a young master with a ruined family and a little long-term worker with a ruined family? Fortunately, I was accompanied by you at the time, otherwise I might have taken a different path." Maybe he became a beggar, maybe he had already raged in the wilderness. ”
There was no sadness in his words, but it still touched Chen Xi's heart. Chen Dingdong, who looks rough and uninhibited, and Gao Qingshu, who is calm and harsh, have such a story behind them.
"Want to know?"
Chen Dingdang looked at Chen Xi and smiled: "There's nothing that can't be said, my family was not a famous family in the imperial capital at that time, and it was only a relatively wealthy family among the ordinary people." Later, the Great Chu Huya expanded the yamen and occupied my family's house. My father thought that he could be blessed by the royal law when he was in the imperial capital, so he carried it with the people of the household office. Who would have thought that a few cultivators would come in that night, and all of them would die except for me and Gao Qingshu. ”
Chen Xi's face changed slightly, he couldn't imagine that such a thing would happen in the imperial capital.
"That day, Gao Qingshu pulled me to the river to go fishing, but we were so crazy and tired that we lay down in the grass and slept until almost dawn, and when I went back, there was a seal on the door, and I didn't even see my relatives for the last time. ”
In Chen Dingdang's smile, there was a bitterness that made people's hearts ache faintly: "Later, Gao Qingshu and I were successful in cultivating in Mantian Sect, and we went back to the imperial capital together, wanting to find out who did it back then. Of course, it is impossible to find out what this matter has to do with the household government, but it can only be traced that it was a gang called the Black Tiger Gang on the underworld in the imperial capital. The two of us killed 663 members of the Black Tiger Gang overnight, and then had to escape from the imperial capital. ”
Chen Dingdang said: "Before that, in order to settle down and find out what happened back then, I bought a small courtyard in the imperial capital city to live in. The courtyard should still be there, and I handed it over to a trading house to take care of it, and rented it out, and every year the money came in. ”
Gao Qingshu said: "Black Tiger Gang...... Isn't that a vulgar name?"
Chen Dingdang said with a smile: "A group of crappy cultivators can be the gangs of the uncle, and they are counting on a fresh and refined name." ”
Gao Qingshu walked over and patted Chen Xi on the shoulder: "Don't be reckless, don't be impulsive, I know your father's cultivation better than you." The Nine Shadows Dungeon couldn't trap him for eleven years, and those things in the Endless Abyss couldn't hurt him. Besides, there are still many great cultivators trapped in the Mantian Sect, and there is no problem in persevering for a few years. ”
Chen Xi nodded: "Don't worry, sir, I won't be impulsive." ”
Gao Qingshu said to Chen Dingdang: "When you entered the Mantian Sect to practice, who was the best person to treat us as brothers?"
Chen Dingdang replied: "Chen Wanran." ”
Gao Qingshu pointed at Chen Xi and asked, "Who is this?"
Chen Dingdang replied: "From now on, it will be my son." ”
Gao Qingshu smiled and nodded: "I'm relieved to have your words, I will do my best to get in touch, and then rush to the imperial capital to meet you." It's only five years, and when the time comes, the three of us will fight back to Mantian Sect together. Whether you are facing a man or a beast, face it together. ”
......
......
There is a carriage shop in Yushui City, which is a livelihood opened by some small sects in order to sustain themselves. Although everyone aspires to become a cultivator, there are very few people in this world who can practice after all. Good seedlings are snatched away by big families or sects, and those who are poor and have not very good roots can only join small sects to practice.
But the sect is small, and the path is narrow. If you want to maintain the expenses of the sect, you have to make a living like the secular people. Generally speaking, the most popular business of the small sect is to drive a carriage shop. Tianfu Da 6 is too big, and if you want to go from one city to another, ordinary people may have to walk for a long time. At this time, the carriage shop of the small sect became the choice. Of course, its fees are not affordable for ordinary people, but for the rich among ordinary people.
It was not an ordinary horse pulling the cart, and there were runes drawn by cultivators on the body, which was much, much faster than riding a horse. Chen Xi and Chen Dingdang can only choose this now, and if they walk to the imperial capital, they may have to walk to the time when the Shenmu Great Array is invalid.
"Where are you going?"
Just walked into the door of the carriage dealership, and a young man who looked refreshing and clean greeted him: "This car shop can provide long-distance and short-distance passenger transportation, and the price is fair." In addition, if you feel uncomfortable cramming too many people together, you can choose a respected bicycle escort. Of course, if you are willing to receive a few days of training with us, you can also enjoy a worthwhile road trip. ”
Chen Dingdang didn't feel anything, Chen Xi felt very novel when he first came into contact with this kind of industry. During the years of his wanderings, he basically sought refuge in a place with few people, and did not dare to enter the city. Four-year-old Chen Xi knows one thing very well, the human heart is more terrible than a beast. A four-year-old child who goes into the city alone can imagine what will happen.
"Which is the most comfortable?"
Chen Dingdang said very arrogantly: "Don't mention silver to me, the last thing that uncle lacks is silver." ”
After they entered the city, they first bought new clothes to change into, Chen Xi chose a black long shirt, and Chen Dingdang was very arrogant and chose a golden brocade robe. Walking on the street, he is more eye-catching than the handsome Chen Xi. Chen Xi is used to watching the lavender version of Chen Dingdang, and it is really a little uncomfortable for Leng Buding to change to the local tyrant gold version.
"Tell me where you're going?"
The young man's first impression was to designate Chen Dingdang as a tyrant, and Chen Dingdang had a restrained aura, and it was impossible for a cultivator like him to notice it. However, Chen Xi gave him a somewhat terrible feeling, so his first impression made Chen Xi a bodyguard......
"Imperial Capital"
"Oh, it's a long journey. If you take a big car, it will cost you five hundred taels of silver per person. If there is a solo escort bicycle, it will cost at least five hundred taels of gold. If you are driving, the deposit is 1,000 taels of gold, and the cost is 500 taels of gold. ”
Chen Dingdang frowned: "What do you cultivators want so much gold and silver for?"
The young man smiled and said, "Cultivators also have to eat and socialize. The cultivator fell in love with which girl in the Qinglou also wanted to give money. Of course, this is just a joke...... Practitioners need a lot of things to help them practice, and of course they need money to buy them. ”
Chen Dingdang has not much more experience in this area than Chen Xi, and after he and Gao Qingshu entered the Mantian Sect, they stayed because of their good qualifications, and the sect provided a qiē.
Seeing the difference in the two of them, the young man couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "Let's be honest, who can drive a carriage for a real cultivator? So I can only earn more silver, buy more land, and become a rich man. Vulgar point...... I also want to take a female cultivator as my wife, but people don't look down on us, so I still have the money to find a beautiful girl from an ordinary family. But the eldest girl who has been raised by others for more than ten years, will you sleep for nothing?"
Chen Xixian, a young man, is a chatter, a bit of a cute chatter.
"It's you. ”
Chen Dingdang pointed at the young man: "We want a separate carriage, you can drive." ”
The young man was stunned: "I......? I also have a certificate of permission to drive a special carriage on the road. However, I can recommend the best candidates to you, and the quality of service is top-notch. If you have any special needs...... As long as you are willing to pay, I can find you a beautiful young girl to drive. She drives during the day and you drive at night......"
He gave Chen Dingdang a look you know, and Chen Dingdang coughed a few times: "No, I like you like this." I don't care if you have that certificate or not, this should be enough. ”
He took out a gem from his cuff and placed it on the table, the gem he had picked from the cave wall before he left the Mantian Sect. That gem has no special effect, and it is used for lighting in a larger sect, and it has a little effect of enhancing cultivation, but it is minimal.
But this kind of thing, put it on the market, it's also a treasure.
As if feeling the breath on the gem, the young man hesitated for a while and then stomped his foot: "Okay, just rush to this baby, I will admit it even if I bend it!"
Chen Dingdong squirted the tea he had just drunk on the ground: "Lao Tzu is not a man!"
The young man smiled wryly: "Joke...... Joke ......"
"What's your name?"
"My name is Chongde Har Gulit, and I am from the Shanyi tribe. His full name is Sukan Monye, Kukul, Yeli Haha, Chongde Hargit. ”
Chen Xi sighed: "Can I call you Sukan?"
The young man immediately said, "You can just call me Su Bukan." ”
"Go ahead, go ahead, talk to your boss. This gem is considered to be your reward, and I will pay another gem for the carriage. But you have a brighter move, if you think that Uncle I am stupid and have a lot of money, you will be blind. If you want to make money and kill yourself on the way. Uncle will let you suffer the disaster of destruction in minutes!"
Chen Dingdang raised his chin and said a few words, then sat down and waited.
