After the restaurant guy left, Wu Neng was still a little angry, he said angrily: "These people are really hateful, how they want to live is their own business, why do they have to force others to live the same life as them!" ”

Tie Mian was still very calm, and he said slowly: "There should also be believers from the Yunzhu Sect and the Yunzhu Academy in the territory of Wu Kingdom, I thought you were used to it. ”

"Just because you see too much doesn't mean you're going to be numb." Wu Neng said as he poured a sip of wine into his mouth.

"What Wu Gongzi said is exact." He Qun whispered, "My lord can't get used to these people, but after all, he is not from Shilin, so he still has to avoid suspicion in this regard." ”

"Steward He, if I'm not mistaken, Sheng Degong believes in the doctrine of the Blazing Sage, right?" Shi Cheng asked suddenly.

"Exactly." He Qun hurriedly replied, "The immortal master has seen and heard a lot, and I admire it. ”

Shi Cheng said with a smile: "That's really a loss, your county lord has been able to sit firmly in the county mansion all these years." ”

Iron Mask asked, "What?" Are there any unique taboos among the followers of this sage? ”

"The Blazing Flame School doesn't have any harsh dogmas, but the followers of this school believe that the followers of the Qingyun Holy Venerable must constantly wage various forms of war against the infidels, and constantly recruit the followers of other gods as their own followers. In this way, the Lord and His followers will be able to achieve real success. Speaking of this, Shi Cheng added, "The Five Lakes League of Wei is an extension of this school among the people and rivers and lakes. ”

He Qun's face was a little embarrassed, and after carefully observing Shi Cheng and Tie Mian's emotions, he smiled and praised: "The immortal master is really knowledgeable, but my lord is now old, and the blood and qi Fang Gang when he was young has actually been put down, and now my lord just likes to study scriptures and talk about it as a pleasure to live in his old age." ”

The glass change on the wine table passed quickly, and after the banknote, the four of them went downstairs together and left Wangchao Tower in a carriage.

The carriage just came out of the tide tower, and there was more uninteresting yellow sand when the sea breeze was neutral, but fortunately, Shi Cheng had already enjoyed the scenery of the seaside in the "wind is the tide", and he was very content to close the curtain and block all the yellow sand out of the car.

But at the moment when the curtain was about to close, Shi Cheng's corner of his eyes swept to a bookstore, and he hurriedly said to the driver driving outside: "Stop here, I'll go to the bookstore across the road to have a look." ”

"Immortal Master, aren't we going to the headquarters of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce?" He Qun's voice came from outside the car door.

"Don't worry, there's a bookstore here, I'll see if I can buy a newspaper." Shi Cheng said as he got up and opened the car door.

"Okay." Wu Neng said happily: "I haven't bought a new one for a long time, so I'll go with you." ”

Tie didn't have any interest in the bookstore, he said lightly, "I'll wait for you here." ”

Shi Cheng nodded, then jumped out of the carriage, Wu Neng and He Qun followed behind Shi Cheng, and the three of them entered the bookstore together.

Shi Cheng didn't look at the bookcases with the scriptures and miscellaneous books, but after entering the door, he went straight to the shelves where the newspapers were placed, picked up the different newspapers, and quickly browsed the headlines on the first page.

He Qun didn't bother Shi Cheng, he simply looked at the scriptures on the bookcase on the left, and after finding that there was nothing he was interested in, he quietly waited for Shi Cheng and Wu Neng to come out at the door.

As soon as Wu Neng entered the bookstore, he went straight to the miscellaneous book area, he carefully looked at the new cover books, especially the special area for imported books from the North and West Continent, and his eyes flashed with a strange light from time to time.

Shi Cheng didn't pay attention to Wu Neng, he looked at the newspaper in his hand intently.

"Recently, most of these newspapers in the Western Desert Royal City have been paying attention to the increasing number of displaced people outside the Royal City, and the conflict with the Eastern Dan Kingdom seems to have eased slightly."

"But it doesn't surprise me, this year's Southern Wilderness is not the only country in the Western Desert, and the situation in Dongdan is probably not much better, at least this year for these two countries should be unable to escalate the conflict."

"But it's hard to say, Shanhezhou in the face of a catastrophe in order to unite the states. The hearts of the people of the country sometimes choose to use force against foreign countries. If it weren't for the national strength of the Northern Alliance Khanate, which had been crushing Shanhezhou, the third and fourth battles for defending the territory would have broken out long ago. ”

"In addition, the criticism of the Gyeonggi Transit Division seems to be more severe than what I saw in the "North Street Daily" a few days ago, and that Chang Daren may have a very difficult time during this time."

Shi Cheng quickly read the different newspapers, and finally picked a few from the shelves that seemed to be more important, and then he turned around and shouted to Wu Neng, who was still in the miscellaneous book area, "Old Wu, have you finished picking?" ”

"Right away!"

Shi Cheng shook his head and walked to the counter. Seeing that Shi Cheng was going to meet the money, He Qun, who was waiting at the door, hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "Since the immortal master is a guest of my palace, where do you need the immortal master to break the money with these small money." ”

After speaking, he looked at the bookstore guy and said, "I will cover the expenses of these two guests today." ”

As soon as the bookstore guy heard the word "Wangfu", he hurriedly made a clever move, his expression and demeanor became more and more flattering, and his attitude towards Shi Cheng was at least twice as respectful as that of Fang Cai.

Shi Chengpin didn't give in, smiled at He Qun, and simply thanked him.

Soon, Wu Neng also chose the book, and he struggled to hold a stack of notebooks and walked over to the counter.

A gust of wind blew in, blowing open the cover of the top book, revealing an illustration on the first page.

The illustration shows a handsome boy dressed in a northern Saikyur costume and a beautiful woman in the same costume who is also dressed in the same clothes, and it seems that the translated script was imported from the Union Khanate. Shi Cheng glanced at the illustrations and said with a smile: "It's actually a new serialized book "Looking for Relatives in Another World" in China, and sure enough, this book has become popular abroad." This is the male and female protagonists.,The heroes and heroines in the script seem to have always been handsome men and beautiful women.。 ”

"Old Shi, you don't understand." Wu Neng closed the open cover and replied, "Readers like to see this, not to mention that this style of illustration is becoming more and more rare in Donglu." ”

"Uh...... That's right. Shi Cheng nodded and said to himself, "It's just that there is more fabric." ”

"The illustration should be drawn like this, and the jade tree shaped by the protagonist is windy and extraordinary, so that readers can have a sense of substitution."

“？？？”

……

"This small box that Wu Xiaogongzi is carrying is really amazing, it looks like it can only hold a few books from the outside, but I really didn't expect that there was a hole inside. Isn't this box the legendary spiritual treasure? He Qun's surprised and curious voice came in from outside.

"Ah, that's true." Wu Neng replied, but most of his attention was on the notebook in his hand.

"Hey, cultivators are really enviable, they really live the life of immortals." He Qun still sighed incessantly.

The carriage headed west on the uneven alleyway, and after nearly three quarters of an hour it came to a halt in a clearing.

Shi Cheng put down the newspaper in his hand and asked outside, "Steward He, have we arrived?" ”

"That's right, Immortal Master, this is the headquarters of the Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce."

Shi Cheng stepped down from the carriage, and when he looked up, he saw a rather magnificent compound, with the golden gate decorated with gold leaf and the four big characters "Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce" written on it.

Iron Mask sneered and said, "This gate is really not a good match for that President Huang. ”

Shi Cheng frowned, shook his head after pondering for a moment, he turned to He Qun and ordered: "Steward He, the three of us can go in and visit, you can wait for us in a nearby place where you can park for a while." ”

"No problem." He Qun nodded.

After He Qun left, Wu Neng quietly asked: "Old Shi, why don't you let Steward He go in with us, he knows Wang Cheng very well, maybe we will have a place to use him in a while." ”

"Wu Neng, let's walk down this half day today, how do you feel about Huang Yuan?" Shi Cheng asked a question that seemed unrelated to Wu Neng's doubts.

Wu Neng thought for a moment and replied, "It's similar to the feeling of Steward He, evil nature." ”

"That's right, a person who likes to hide himself under a mask and a robe can be treated as a guest by everyone, and I really don't believe that an ordinary person can have such eloquence and means." After saying this, Shi Cheng paused, turned his head to Tiemian and said, "Don't care, I'm not talking about you." ”

Iron Mask didn't have any dissatisfaction, and he continued to follow Shi Chengfang's words: "This is obviously an extraordinary means, that President Huang is also a monk. ”

"No wonder ......" As soon as Tie Mian said this, Wu Neng also reacted, he looked at Shi Cheng and said, "Old Shi, you don't want to involve the ordinary person of Steward He, right?" ”

Shi Cheng nodded and said, "I have also made some mistakes caused by stereotypes on this issue, when people in the world mention monks, they tend to think about the sect, the imperial court, and the cultivators. Although a large clan like the Luo family also conducts business outside of cultivation, in fact, the monks and business members within the family are completely different kinds of people. It is precisely for this reason that few people in the world associate the identities of monks and merchants. Although it is not without people in this world who are both monks and merchants, their numbers are indeed small. ”

Tie Mian said: "If you think about it carefully, it is also typical, Yin Wenyuan's body has both identities. ”

"That's right, but Yin Wenyuan is actually a counterexample. His reputation as a merchant was so great that many people forgot that he was still a grandmaster. Shi Cheng said, "But I really should have thought that how many people who can have anything to do with the Lu clan are ordinary people who are powerless?" ”

"It's just a monk who doesn't know what realm it is......" Iron Mask said.

"Let's go in and have a look, I heard that this President Huang is not in the royal city, so let's inquire about when he will come back." Shi Cheng said as he took the lead towards the gate.
