Chapter 8: Incident

Bingquan Town, the corner gate of the mansion of the wealthy businessman Zhao Song.

A young man with oily hair and a pink face craned his neck and looked in through the half-open door, but he didn't dare to really go in.

A moment later, the hidden corner door was completely pushed open, and a maid, who was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, walked out of the house with slow and graceful steps.

This maid was born beautiful and elegant, and her skin was smooth and soft, which made the young man guarding the door look bright, and he only felt that the other party didn't know why he looked much better than before, and he couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.

But he pretended to have something in his heart, so he quickly came back to his senses, saluted the maid standing in the door, and asked a little eagerly, "Have you seen Sister Xiangxue...... What about my sister? ”

After speaking, he stretched his neck again to take a look, but he didn't see a familiar figure.

The maid named Xiangxue hurriedly avoided him as he saluted, and then pressed her right hand to her left hand, bent her knee slightly, and said:

"Childe is Aunt Mei's own brother, but there is no reason to give me this maid to salute......"

Speaking of this, she paused before continuing, "In addition, Aunt Mei is not in the mansion today, but she asked the old lady to go to the small mountain temple outside the town to offer incense. ”

Did you go to the small mountain temple to offer incense? How can this knot go to the incense? The young man was shallow, and his face showed obvious disbelief.

After a long while, he pretended to be calm and asked in a stiff tone, "What about Young Master Chen?" He also ...... At home? ”

Nervous, he almost asked, "Is he still alive?" out of his mouth.

As if she had known that the other party would ask, Xiangxue gave the answer without any hesitation: "Gongzi Chen went to the Golden Dart Martial Arts Hall to practice martial arts early in the morning. ”

Still not dead...... That Fang Xuzi looked at the Dao Bone Immortal Wind, why was he so unreliable! The young man surnamed Mei scolded a few words, but for some reason, his heart gradually relaxed, and he also had the idea of going to Fang Xuzi to settle accounts.

After a few more jokes with his favorite maid and making her eyes shy, the young man offered to take his leave, and then went in the direction of the east of the town.

And after he left, the shyness on Xiangxue's face disappeared instantly, and she stared at the young man's back meaningfully for a few moments, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

……

In the palace inside the Great Sun Star Chacha, Zhao Chen sat on a seat coiled by six golden dragons, stretched out his right hand and clicked on the jade book on the bookcase in front of him.

Speaking of which, since his body was still standing in front of the master, he wanted to return to reality immediately after confirming that he could enter here through "Jingjing", but as soon as he turned this thought, he found that the "jade book" on the bookcase was flashing, as if prompting him to have new content "updated".

It's pretty advanced...... Zhao Chen muttered a few words, thinking about it, he couldn't wait long to take a look, so he clicked on the jade album and turned to the page with new content.

The purpose of the entry is the "Commodities for Sale", that is, the list of commodities that can be sold to the Xingcha Treasure House, on which the introduction and price of the "Secret Record of the Twelve Gates of the Golden Mansion and Jade Room" and Huang Xianjun's annotation appear.

"That translation annotation was really written by the master......" The corners of Zhao Chen's mouth twitched, and then while thinking about the introduction of the "List of Commodities to be Sold", he thought in his heart, "The knowledge I quickly browsed through was completely recorded by the 'Jade Book' and became a commodity that can be sold to it?"

"In addition, knowledge products do not need originals, even if they are sold to Xingcha, the cheats will still exist, but the same knowledge cannot be sold repeatedly...... On the other hand, the item class can be sold to Xingcha for the same type of item, but the original is handed in each time.

"That's right, general knowledge can be copied, even if the cheats are gone, the master estimates that he can get a copy in minutes, and it is naturally impossible to sell it repeatedly."

As his thoughts turned, Zhao Chen's eyes also fell on the introductions of the two newly appeared products, and he read them carefully:

"The Secret Record of the Twelve Gates of the Golden Mansion Jade Room" is the qi training part of the Kunlun faction's Tianyong City core exercise "Taichu Nine Heavenly Divine Jade Chapter", which connotates the body forging martial arts 'Taiyi Five Elements Fist', the true qi martial arts 'Taiyi Xuanmen Sword', as well as the 'Tianyong Golden Building Jade Room Diagram', 'Taichu Jinyu Guidance Method' and other basic cheats for building the foundation and practicing qi, due to the connotation of 'Great Dao Text', the standard recovery price of Xingcha is 400 star coins."

"The wrong annotation of the 'Primal Golden Jade Guidance Method', with a lot of my own perceptions in the interpretation, has lost the meaning of the primordial, so that the mental method has completely reduced to an ordinary visualization method, and there is no possibility of docking with the follow-up exercises of the "Nine Heavenly Divine Jade Chapters of the Primordial Heavens...... But it is relatively safe for ordinary people to cultivate.

"The standard recycling price of Xingcha is 10 Star Coins."

Added up to 410 Star Coins? And the master thinks that this secret book of his annotations can sell for 500 yuan...... In this way, the purchasing power of 1 star coin and 1 coin seems to be not much different......

Well, the master may have overestimated his ability to interpret the "Great Dao Script" by himself, so he felt that his translation annotations were more valuable.

And in fact, the "Golden Mansion Jade Room Twelve Gates" itself is more valuable! The master is not bragging here, it is really the exercise left by the Taichu Daojun.

Also, What does the standard recycling price mean?

Can you still negotiate a price?

As soon as Zhao Chen thought of this, a line of text flashed on the "Jade Book": Your urn does not support bargaining for the time being.

This Xingcha can really "read minds", and it can be seen from the fraudulent consumption it played yesterday...... Or is it that I have a close relationship with Starcha, and that it knows what I'm thinking? That's not a good thing......

Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes and stopped thinking about it, so as not to provoke Xingcha's bad reaction, such as putting himself on more debts and forcibly tying him up or something.

Closing the jade book casually, Zhao Chen didn't plan to stay here any longer, even if he wanted to sell the cheats to pay off the debt, he would try again at night when there was no one outside, so he concentrated according to the experience he had when he left last time, and then his eyes suddenly went dark, and when his consciousness was restored again, he had already returned to reality, and saw that the master Huang Xianjun Pavilion Master was looking at him with a smile.

"The first time I 'entered meditation', I actually carried out a deep meditation, which was close to Dacheng...... Although this is inseparable from this "King Yu Opening Map" and the role of my spiritual guidance, Chen'er, your performance like this is considered a genius even in the cultivation seeds in my 'Yu Wang Sect'! Huang Xianjun sighed and rolled the scroll back up, so as not to continue to lose the remaining power inside.

I can be such a "genius", in addition to the fact that the soul of the two lives may indeed be relatively strong, most of it is related to the position of half of the "traveling merchant...... Zhao Chen thought so in his heart, and on the surface, he saluted Huang Xianjun again and said:

"Thank you master for helping me 'enter meditation'."

Although Master Huang emphasized that the premise of "entering meditation" is that the soul is strong enough and seems to have it, but without guidance and methods, it is not known how long it will take to figure it out by yourself, so this "thanks", Zhao Chen's "Dao" is sincere.

Huang Xianjun was not polite, and after receiving the apprentice's gift, he advised: "You should have memorized the feeling of 'entering meditation', even if you don't guide the teacher in the future, there is a high probability that you can succeed again if you try a few more times."

"If it still doesn't work, you can come to the teacher to buy my special 'soothing incense', which can help you calm down, 800 Wen a column, very cheap."

Hearing his words, Zhao Chen was stunned, looked at Master Huang, who was righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, and complained in his heart: In the end, am I a "traveling merchant", or are you?

What is this? What kind of apprentice there is, what kind of master is there?

……

On the other side, the young man surnamed Mei pushed open the door of the one-eyed Taoist priest Fang Xuzi again, but he didn't find the other party's figure, only many medicinal herbs were scattered all over the place, and there were faint traces of blood, which looked like something was wrong.

But the young man obviously had no vigilance, and his first reaction when he saw this scene turned out to be that the Taoist priest had run away.

So he rushed into the main hall without thinking, and then he saw a scene that made him feel terrible.

I saw a monster more than two meters high, five or six meters long, with two horns and a body shaped like a jackal, lying lying in the hall, with two heads on its neck, one facing the young man, which was the appearance of the evil way Fang Xuzi.

The other head was delicate and fair-skinned, and charming, and although it had only a side face, the young man recognized to whom its face belonged, and cried out in a lost voice:

"Sister?!"
