Chapter 96: The Way of the World Under the Mountain
"The county guard is about to visit the Sword Sect, is there something big going on?"
"I've never heard anyone mention how close the Sword Sect and the government are."
Zhao Ping'an thought for a moment and thought secretly.
"We still have to patrol the mountains, and we don't have the time to chat with you."
"If you don't have anything important in the future, don't go out and hang around easily."
After the official disciple finished speaking impatiently, he turned around and left directly.
Regarding this person's attitude, Zhao Ping'an didn't care, the other party was a formal disciple, and it was normal for some miscellaneous disciples to look down on the medicine garden, and it was already good to be able to answer his question.
Zhao Ping'an didn't linger and headed towards the foot of the mountain.
Before entering the market, he found a hidden and remote place, and used secret magic to change his aura and appearance.
Zhenyi Pavilion, people come and go, and the business is quite good.
As soon as Zhao Ping'an walked into the Zhenyi Pavilion, the woman named Xiao Han noticed him.
"Master Li, you're here."
Seeing Zhao Ping'an again, Xiao Han was surprised and delighted, revealing a charming and bright smile.
"Take me to your shopkeeper."
Zhao Ping'an was expressionless and said lightly.
"Okay, please."
Under the guidance of Xiao Han, Zhao Ping'an soon met Xiao Yun, the shopkeeper of Zhenyi Pavilion.
"Master Li, you are visiting today, is it ......?"
Xiao Yun was a little apprehensive, and asked without saying anything.
"The Soul Charm has been made."
Zhao Ping'an said as he took out the soul suppression talisman prepared in advance.
The Soul Suppression Talisman is a second-order high-grade talisman, which is specially aimed at demons and yin spirits, and is an extremely unique talisman.
"Sure enough, it's a soul suppression talisman, and there are ten of them."
Xiao Yun's eyes lit up, revealing a hint of joy.
He stepped forward to look at the talisman, only to feel more and more satisfied, and said to Zhao Ping'an: "Master Li Fushi has worked hard for you, having these soul suppression talismans is enough to solve the problem of our Zhenyi Pavilion." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ping'an's expression moved, and he asked casually: "Shopkeeper Xiao, what is the use of this kind of talisman in your Zhenyi Pavilion?" ”
"Now that the Soul Suppression Talisman has arrived, then I can't continue to hide it from Master Li Fu." Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, and then said with a solemn face: "To be honest, this soul suppression talisman is not needed by the Zhenyi Pavilion, but a request made by an extremely distinguished guest of our Zhenyi Pavilion. ”
"If Zhenyi Pavilion can't meet his needs, then we may not be able to continue to do business in this Fang City, or even the entire Nanjun territory, Zhenyi Pavilion will not be able to continue doing business."
Xiao Yun looked serious and said solemnly.
"Oh? Listen to you, that man must be a big man. ”
Zhao Ping'an was a little surprised and said with interest.
He didn't know if what the other party said was true or not, so he didn't mean to continue to ask, and if he was too interested, he was afraid that it would inevitably arouse Xiao Yun's disgust.
"It's indeed a big shot, and it's also an existence that we can't afford to provoke."
Xiao Yun said with some embarrassment.
"By the way, Xiao Han, bring me what I prepared."
At this time, Xiao Yun remembered something again, and commanded Xiao Han next to him.
Xiao Han nodded slightly, and soon served a golden tray.
On the golden tray, there was a cyan jade plaque and a storage bag.
"Master Li, inside this storage bag, there is a thank you gift prepared for you by our Zhenyi Pavilion, with some spirit stones and some talisman materials."
Xiao Yun smiled, and first introduced the contents of the storage bag.
"You have a heart."
Zhao Ping'an nodded.
"In addition to this storage bag, we would like to invite you to become the talisman of our Treasure Pavilion."
"This cyan jade plaque is the identity symbol of our Zhenyi Pavilion guest secretary."
"Of course, if you become a guest, we can not only provide you with free talisman materials in the future, but also provide you with a certain amount of spirit stones every month, and you can also enjoy a three-fold discount on goods purchased in Zhenyi Pavilion in the future."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yun asked cautiously, "I don't know what you think?" ”
He hoped to take this opportunity to win over Zhao Ping'an, a mysterious talisman master.
"Become a guest of your Treasure Pavilion?"
Zhao Ping'an thought about it, and refused without hesitation: "I don't have this idea for the time being, besides, with my talisman attainments, it's a little ridiculous to want me to join your Zhenyi Pavilion just by relying on this little thing, right?" ”
He deliberately showed a hint of displeasure.
"This ...... It's true that we were abrupt. ”
Seeing Zhao Ping'an's reaction, Xiao Yun was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted, smiled stupidly, and then said: "If Master Li Fu doesn't have this idea for the time being, then we won't force it." ”
"I just hope that you can take care of our business in the future."
Even if he was rejected by Zhao Ping'an on the spot, he did not show the slightest resentment, but the more the former showed a lofty appearance, the more he respected him.
Because Xiao Yun knew very well that the higher the talisman master, the more arrogant he was, and it was impossible for such a character to easily join a certain force just because of one or two contacts.
But as long as Zhenyi Pavilion can leave a good enough impression on Zhao Ping'an, I believe that there will still be a certain opportunity to cooperate with the other party in the future.
"Okay, I'm still busy, so I'll take my leave."
Zhao Ping'an took the storage bag sent by Xiao Yun and got up and left directly.
"Master Li walks slowly."
Xiao Yun smiled with a smile on his face, and Xiao Han watched Zhao Ping'an leave.
"Shopkeeper, you prepared a full 20,000 spirit stones for him, as well as high-quality talisman materials worth thousands of spirit stones, but this person refused your invitation, and his attitude was a little arrogant."
"Isn't it worth it?"
After Zhao Ping'an left, Xiao Hanxiu frowned slightly and complained to Xiao Yun next to him.
The contents of the storage bag are almost equivalent to half a month's profit of Zhenyi Pavilion, and Xiao Yun took it out like that and gave it to Zhao Ping'an as a reward, which is simply a bit of a loser.
And with such a generous sincerity, the other party also refused to become a guest of Zhenyi Pavilion, which made her heart quite unbalanced.
"Worth, of course."
Xiao Yun showed an unfathomable smile, like a scheming old fox.
"Xiao Han, you have to remember that when dealing with such characters, you must show enough sincerity."
"Although he turned down our invitation today, he may not be able to do so in the future. This person has a mysterious origin and is also a talisman, and he will definitely have more dealings with our Zhenyi Pavilion in the future. ”
Xiao Yun said with a smile.
"Why?"
"Maybe he won't come to Zhenyi Pavilion in the future." Xiao Han was puzzled.
"Don't forget, looking at the entire Fang City, only our Zhenyi Pavilion can provide high-grade rune paper and purple ink cinnabar."
Xiao Yun smiled confidently.
"I see."
Hearing this, Xiao Han suddenly realized.
On the other side, after Zhao Ping'an left Zhenyi Pavilion, he confirmed that no one was following him, so he found a hidden area and turned back to his original face and left Fang City and returned to the medicine garden.
After returning to his residence in the medicine garden, Zhao Ping'an opened the storage bag that Xiao Yun gave him, and soon showed a look of surprise.
I saw that inside the storage bag, the spirit stones were piled up into a mountain, with 20,000 spirit stones, and there were many high-quality talisman materials.
"Good fellows."
"Zhenyi Pavilion is so generous!"
Zhao Ping'an smacked his lips, and suddenly felt a trace of remorse, he had just rejected Xiao Yun's invitation, was it too decisive to refuse.
"That's it, there's something weird about that Rare Pavilion."
"No matter how sincere I am, I can't have too much to do with it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble in the future."
Zhao Ping calmed down and thought secretly.
"With these spirit stones, at least for a period of time in the future, there is no need to take over the talisman making task of the Fu Pavilion to accumulate spirit stones."
Zhao Ping'an took out some of the spirit stones from the storage bag and put them into the spirit gathering formation, making this formation run faster, and the aura of heaven and earth gathered became even richer.
He sat down silently, his immortal mana working, exuding a deep and long aura.
In the next few days, in addition to cleaning the medicine garden in the morning, Zhao Ping'an spent the rest of the time either practicing or improving his talisman making skills.
"Bell ......"
In the early morning of this day, Zhao Ping'an, who had just finished cleaning the corresponding area of the medicine garden, heard a loud bell in the direction of the Sword Sect Mountain Gate.
The bell rang melodiously for a quarter of an hour.
"It's the welcome bell!"
"Only when a big man comes to the Sword Sect will ring this bell!"
Wang Cripple raised his head, looked in the direction where the bell came from, and said in a tone of uncertainty with a hint of uncertainty: "A few days ago, I heard from some junior brothers that the county guard of Nanjun will visit the sect in the past few days, could it be that he came?"
He is more well-informed, unlike Zhao Ping'an, who lives in a simple house.
"Senior Brother Wang, why did the county guard of Nanjun come to our sect?" Although he had heard about it a few days ago, Zhao Ping'an still pretended not to know at the moment and asked curiously.
"Senior Brother Zhao, you shouldn't know, right?" Wang Lame looked at Zhao Ping'an, his face became a little solemn, and continued: "Now that Nanjun is an eventful autumn, I heard some disciples of the sect who came back from the mountain mention that the people of Nanjun have been living in a difficult way in recent years, and the Yin and Yang Sect has made waves, and there are evil cultivators who not only torture and kill monks, but also slaughter ordinary people at will......"
Wang lame did not hide it, and told Zhao Ping'an the news he had heard, 1510.
According to what he said, the situation in Nanjun is quite grim, the evil cultivators are in charge, the major immortal cultivators are too busy to take care of themselves, and the government is even more powerless, and the people are not able to make a living.
"It turns out that the world under the mountain is so unpeaceful."
Zhao Ping'an sighed a little, fortunately, his predecessor was not demoted from the Sword Sect at the beginning, so he could continue to stay in the sect and get the corresponding protection, otherwise, if he was reduced to a casual cultivator, he was afraid that it would be difficult and troublesome now.
Over the years, he has not paid much attention to what is happening outside the window, let alone the world under the mountain, even what is happening in the Sword Sect.
If it weren't for Wang Cripple mentioning it today, Zhao Ping'an would not have known that the situation in Nanjun was so serious.
"This county guard visited the Sword Sect for no reason, I'm afraid he also wanted to seek the help of the sect."
Zhao Ping'an thought to himself.
While the two were talking, the mountain gate of the Sword Sect opened at this moment, and the official disciples of the Sword Sect were standing on both sides, and the elders and high-ranking members of the Sword Sect were waiting here in person under the leadership of the Sword Master.
Li Yunming's eyes were bright and his posture was heroic, and he also followed behind the sword master.
"Here we are."
I don't know who opened the mouth to warn, but when everyone looked outside the mountain gate at the same time, they saw a team of guards in armor, each riding tall and sturdy spirit horses, exuding an aura of iron and blood, guarding a carriage slowly coming.
