Chapter 125: Listening to the Music
Qi Zixiao looked at the many pills in the pill shop, couldn't help sighing, and asked, "Can these pills be cheaper?" ”
He also knew that the pills in the Xu family's pill shop were indeed much lower than those in the official government, and if he went to the official store to buy them, the price would be more expensive.
Hearing this, the little maid smiled bitterly, "Lord Head Catcher, I can't be the master of this, the price of the pill is set by the Xu family." ”
"However, if Lord Headcatcher buys more than three hundred taels of silver, I can make the decision to give you a discount, although it is not much, but it can also save dozens of taels of silver."
Hearing this, Qi Zixiao thought for a moment and said, "Then bring me a Dayuan Dan." ”
He didn't want to buy too much, so he bought one and went back to experience it, and if the effect was good, he would come back and buy it, if not, he would lose at most a hundred taels of silver.
A flash of disappointment flashed in the maid's eyes, but she still had a sweet smile, "Okay, Lord Headcatcher." ”
As she spoke, she took out the pill on the counter and put it in a small porcelain bottle, and on the side, a man who looked like a shopkeeper walked over, writing something in his hand, and then handed it to Qi Zixiao.
Qi Zixiao took it and looked at it, it turned out to be a proof of purchase, and on a certain day, he sold him a Dayuan Dan, worth one hundred taels of silver.
This is the modern equivalent of invoicing.
Pills are expensive, and they have to have detailed accounts.
Qi Zixiao took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his body and handed it to the other party, which is common throughout the country and can be withdrawn from any official bank.
"Welcome to the next time."
The little maid watched Qi Zixiao leave with a respectful expression.
She was very happy in her heart, and she raised a business of one hundred taels of silver, and she raised one or two pieces of silver.
Walking out of the Xu Jia Dan Medicine Shop, Qi Zixiao walked on the road, suddenly paused, and looked ahead with a frown, there, some people were fighting, of course, they were all ordinary people, as if they were some ruffians and hooligans.
A group of people blocked the road, and some of the surrounding people were implicated.
It was Changlin Street, which he was in charge of, and soon, several catchers came to arrest these people who were fighting.
Qi Zixiao didn't care and returned to the county office.
In the courtyard, Qi Zixiao sat on the bed and poured the pill out of the bottle, which was only the size of a finger, and looked extremely round.
Swallow the pill in one gulp, and the pill melts in your mouth, turning into a stream of heat that spreads along the meridians in your body.
The next moment, Qi Zixiao felt a surging energy rise from his body, and he felt as if he had swallowed a furnace.
His hands were sealed, and every cell of his body was like arid land, suddenly encountering Gan Lin and absorbing it frantically.
Faintly, a white mist seemed to rise around Qi Zixiao's body, and all the 108,000 pores on his body were opened.
At this time, Sun Zhongliang's home.
An altar was erected, and two bodies were placed in the courtyard, covered with white cloths.
Behind the altar, there is the master of Qingyang Temple, wearing a Taoist robe and holding a peachwood sword in his hand.
On the side, it was Wang Meng who was catching his head, with a big face and huge eyes.
"It's almost time."
Qingyang Guan Guan glanced at the sky, a bright moon appeared, he nodded, whispered, and then his eyes froze, the peach wood sword was placed on the altar, and his hands were sealed.
"The Soul Returns to ......"
He spoke in a low voice, his tone faint, and it felt gloomy in the ears of the people around him, like a voice from the netherworld.
The Guan Zhu picked up the peachwood sword, stepped on the gangdou, and drank lightly in his mouth, "The Taoist ancestor is above, the disciple summons the soul in the underworld today, and hopes that the ancestor will bless him!" ”
The words fell, and above the altar, the ever-bright lamp instantly soared, and faintly, in the dark night, a deep whirlpool appeared.
Looking at this whirlpool, a group of people were all staring, Wang Meng, the blue-clothed catcher, was also extremely dignified, as a four-rank powerhouse, he naturally knew what was connected to the other end of the whirlpool, which was the realm of death, the netherworld.
The legendary underworld is also the destination of all living beings.
No matter how gorgeous you are, you are still a world-famous figure, in the end, you can't escape death!
However, the whirlpool only appeared a dozen breaths before slowly dissipating.
The face of the Qingyang Contemplator sank, and he suddenly bit his finger and drew a spell in the void.
The vortex that had dissipated before reappeared, but this time, unlike before, an illusory palm appeared, and it instantly landed on the Qingyang Viewer.
"Bang"
The figure of the Qingyang Guanguan Lord flew out like a straw, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out in mid-air.
Falling on the ground, the Qingyang Spectator looked frightened, and he didn't care about his injuries, so he hurriedly spoke, "The messenger is angry!" ”
The vortex slowly dissipated, and the illusory palm disappeared with it.
Everything was breezy and uneventful, as if nothing had happened.
Wang Meng looked at Qingyang Guan Lord, his face was full of surprise, "Guan Lord, what happened just now?" ”
He felt as if his consciousness had paused.
The Qingyang Guanguan Lord had a bloodshot on the corner of his mouth, looked at Wang Zhutou with an ugly face, and his hoarse voice sounded, "The souls of these two people are gone, so Poor Dao can't summon spirits, just now I wanted to forcibly summon spirits, but I was counterattacked by the underworld's Yincha, Wang Zhutou, Poor Dao's soul is now damaged, and he needs to recuperate for a while, and he can't help the government." ”
With that, he just left and walked into the distance.
The underworld, the world, is originally the well water does not interfere with the river water, rashly summoning the soul, this is a taboo in the two worlds, fortunately he is a disciple of the Daomen, so the yin cha gave a face, otherwise, he would have planted it today.
Wang Meng looked at this scene, his face was extremely ugly, his soul could not be found, and he could not find the murderer.
If he can't solve the case, how can he explain to the county guard and the Zhou family.
"Since this road doesn't work, you have to take the regular route."
Wang Meng's eyes flashed, "Find all the people who have grievances with Sun Zhongliang, investigate them one by one, and you will always find some clues." ”
As a follower of the eldest son of the Zhou family, he has done countless bad things, and it is estimated that he doesn't even know the specific number of people he has offended.
As a result, his workload will be ridiculously large.
With those under him, it will take at least three days to find out Sun Zhongliang's network.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the corpses of the two again, waved his hand indifferently, and motioned for his men to deal with it, while he himself walked out.
At this time, in the courtyard where Qi Zixiao was located, all of a sudden, all the rising white mist disappeared, revealing his figure.
"Huh"
When I opened my eyes, there was a faint glimmer of golden light in my eyes.
Qi Zixiao exhaled lightly, a pill saved him two months of penance, and now, the Shenqiao has been extended again, but the effect is not very obvious.
"It seems that more pills are needed."
Qi Zixiao muttered to himself, according to his speculation, if he wanted to reach the peak of the third grade, he needed at least thirty Great Yuan Pills, that is, three thousand taels!
The thought of this number made him feel a little suffocated.
That's all the family background of some squires and wealthy families in Qingxian County.
Moreover, he also knew that the more pills were taken the pill, the stronger the body's resistance would be, and the effect would become weaker and weaker.
Thirty in theory, and in practice it may be higher.
"Head, go up and listen to the music tonight, Luo Niangzi from Tianyu Music Workshop will appear, and I heard that she will play a song herself......"
As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Zhou Cheng step forward and opened his mouth with a smile on his face.
"Where are you going?"
Qi Zixiao asked.
"Cuiyun Building, hehe."
Zhou Cheng opened his mouth with a smile, and when he heard this name, Qi Zixiao suddenly became stunned.
Oh, man!
Qi Zixiao nodded, "Lead the way!" ”
A group of people laughed and walked towards Cuiyun Building, although it was already night, but this Qinglou was still very lively, the lights were bright, and the woman's laughter could be heard from time to time.
There were a few girls dressed in flowers at the door, looking at a group of them, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly stepped forward, and a woman even pulled Qi Zixiao's arm, fully making him feel what the waves were.
"This official is the first time to come to our Cuiyun Tower, right?"
Seeing this, Zhou Cheng on the side said lightly, "Mother Wang, this is our new blue-clothed head catcher on Changlin Street, who governs the security of the entire street, don't take out those third-rate goods in your hands to fool us Qi head, today is just to listen to the music." ”
Hearing this, the woman's eyes froze, and she nodded with a smile, "It turned out to be Lord Headcatcher, the slave family is really clumsy, don't worry, a few officials are casual today, and all consumption is counted in my account." ”
"Coincidentally, today we Cuiyunlou invited Miss Luo from Tianyu Music Workshop to perform, and several officials are blessed with eyes, this is the guest of honor of the major families in Sanyang County."
Mother Wang said, a group of people have entered it, the hall is extremely spacious, there is a large platform in the middle, at this time a group of dancers swaying, like water snakes, there are musicians playing around.
Under the stage, there are tables one by one, with men and women, laughing and laughing, and the atmosphere is charming.
On the second floor, there are also private rooms where you can see the performances below.
Their arrival did not make any waves, after all, this kind of place is officially allowed, and officials are also people, and they also have seven emotions and six desires.
Mother Wang led them to a booth on the second floor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I will arrange for a few girls to come over immediately, and by the way, I will arrange a table of good wine and food for you."
Mother Wang said with a smile, and after speaking, she withdrew.
Soon, someone brought all kinds of exquisite food, wine, and along with some good-looking women.
Qi Zixiao also has one by his side, the most beautiful, called Xiuxiu, with a petite figure, a melon seed face, and big watery eyes, which belongs to the kind of person who will make people protective at first sight.
The little girl didn't show the same dust as the women around others, but looked at him with a touch of adoration, like a little girl who didn't know anything about the world.
This made Qi Zixiao think of a sentence, if she is not deeply involved in the world, take her to see the prosperity of the world; If her heart is vicissitudes, take her on the merry-go-round.
The little girl seems to know a man's mind well.
