Chapter 76: There's never too much of a pie
Du Xianqi scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "This matter is related to the secrets of our family, and I believe that the three Daoists came with sincerity, but ...... In this way, please also ask the three Taoist friends to rest here today, and wait for the elders who led the team to come back in the evening, and then talk to the three Taoist friends in detail after asking them for instructions? ā
Shi Cheng didn't have any difficulties and continued to ask, he came today mainly to learn about the situation before and after Du Heng's accident from the Du family, as for the treasures of the Du family, he was not interested, just as a piggyback to learn about it, maybe it would help him restore the truth of Du Heng's accident.
Shi Cheng didn't say more, and if he continued to pursue it, it would arouse Du Xianqi's suspicions, he deliberately maintained a mysterious image of a master outside the world, and nodded gently.
Du Xianqi wanted to leave the three of them to stay in the inn first, but Shi Cheng had other things to do today, and he didn't have time to stay here all the time, so after making an appointment with Du Xianqi to meet again tonight, Shi Cheng took his two companions and left.
Du Xianqi really wanted to leave Shi Cheng and the three of them behind, after all, these three headless and brainless visitors were too much for him to be caught off guard, but the impenetrable cultivation realm on Shi Cheng and Tie Mian's body finally made his body go against his will, so he had to send the three of them out of the inn with a forced smile.
Returning to the carriage, Wu Neng, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help but ask, "Old Shi, how did you know that their Du family still lost treasures in the forbidden area?" And it seems that you still know the whereabouts of the treasure, but I haven't heard you talk about it in a while! ā
Regarding Wu Neng's first question, Shi Cheng explained his guess to Wu Neng in detail.
In Wu Neng's adoring eyes, Shi Cheng shrugged, and then said: "As for your second question, Old Wu, in fact, I don't know where that treasure is now, I said that I can help the Du family find the treasure, which is to amuse you." ā
"Ahh Wu Neng's jaw almost fell, "Then you still promise them, if you are pierced at that time, I will see how you end." ā
"Old Wu, you don't know about these sects and families, especially the urine nature of the cultivation family." Shi Cheng leaned back helplessly, "A single mouse feces in the house can be regarded as a secret that cannot be passed on, just like holding a hen that can lay golden eggs." If we outsiders don't come up directly and cut to the pain point and draw the pie first, then it will take the Year of the Monkey to find out the news of Du Heng. ā
Wu Neng was speechless for a while, he really didn't understand the Tao in the cultivation family, "Forget it, anyway, an old oilman like you, Lao Shi, must have a way to deal with them, so where do we go now?" ā
"Didn't I say before that I wanted to go into the Kenbin Forbidden Area to test the water, of course I went to buy the necessary supplies in the afternoon, and before that, we had to go to a reliable bookstore in the city to see if there were any places or maps to sell."
Wu Neng and Tie Mian had no objections, and the three of them immediately took the car, and under the recommendation of the coachman, they came to the largest northland bookstore in Kenbin King City.
I have to say that from the outside, this bookstore does look like a corner that is rarely tainted with the atmosphere of the "civilized world" in a "wild land".
After making way for a group of Hanyue people who came out of the bookstore, Shi Cheng and the three walked into the bookstore.
Shi Cheng carefully selected a few books related to the historical anecdotes around the Kenbin King City, and planned to take them home to study them carefully, but as for the map, Shi Cheng did not find what he wanted, so he had to give up in the end.
The books selected by Shi Cheng were all written in Chu Ze language, and most of the books in this bookstore were also written by Chu Ze language, so Tie Mian, who didn't understand Chu Ze language, could only stand aside in a daze, watching Shi Cheng and Wu Neng pick and choose with relish.
Seeing that Shi Chengxuan was almost done, Wu Neng also wandered around to other bookshelves with his own careful thoughts, and soon, Wu Neng had a discovery that made him feel ecstatic.
"Wow! I didn't expect this bookstore to have the latest issues of "Looking for Relatives in Another World"! Wu Neng couldn't help but exclaim, before he wanted to ask the people of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce to help find this popular comic book from the Alliance Khanate and popular all over the world, but there has been no suitable opportunity, and now that they actually meet here, how can they not make Wu Neng feel excited.
"Hey, hey, Qingyu...... My Qingyu wife...... (oćo)" Wu Neng's eyes lit up, he wiped the corners of his mouth, and carefully took the album in front of him into his arms as if he had found a treasure, "When I serialized the plot of the previous country, I was worried about whether the fat seal boss's painting skills would decline, and now it seems that this worry is not necessary at all...... (^?^)ā
"What's wrong, Wu Neng?" Shi Cheng walked over quickly, and he also heard Wu Neng's exclamation.
"Lao Shi, come and see, I actually found "Looking for Relatives in Another World" here, and it's still the last few issues!" Wu Neng proudly waved the beautiful picture book with the cover in his hand.
"Huh?" Shi Cheng was stunned, and only after a while did he realize what was happening, "That's it?" ā
"That's it!" Wu Neng was very dissatisfied with Shi Cheng's reaction.
Shi Cheng scratched his head and hurriedly snorted, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart. Although he is a Chita person, he has never understood why the work "Looking for Relatives in Another World" is so popular at home and abroad.
"I didn't expect you to like this style of painting too, Lao Wu." Shi Cheng looked at a few comic books from Wei in front of the left, and picked up a copy of "The Legend of the Two Blades", "I usually don't pay much attention to your preference for reading miscellaneous books, I thought you, as a Wu person, would prefer this type, isn't this "The Legend of the Two Blades" quite famous in Wei this year?" ā
"Cut, that's just blown out by the chief writers of the Di newspaper." Wu Neng looked disdainful, and when he said this, he looked at the Hanyue people who were reading in the store around him, and then lowered his voice, and then said, "Now those painters in Dawei, no matter what works they paint, have to forcibly insert a bunch of strange costumes, men and women who look like men and women from the outside, and a bunch of quirks. And then a bunch of stinky bricks praised this as an enlightened work that showed diversity, and after going through this process, some artists with relationships just stayed at home and waited for the award, so there was no need to think about what kind of characters the readers liked. ā
"Take Lao Shi's "The Legend of the Two Blades" in your hand as an example, you know that there is a girl named Huang Fu Lin in its prequel "Five Heroes of the Storm", right?"
"I've heard of it, it seems to be the most popular female character in that work."
"Yes. She also appeared in "The Legend of the Two Blades", but what image do you guess Huang Fu Lin has been changed to? changed the original white-skinned, beautiful, plump sunny girl into a dark and fat rainforest aunt. Speaking of this, Wu Neng, who was spitting out bitterness, was so angry that the roots of his teeth were a little itchy, and he quickly explained, "I'm not looking down on the rainforest people, if the author creates a new rainforest people character in the book, I have no objection, but you have to change a classic image that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people to like this, isn't it brainless?" ā
Shi Cheng flipped through the "Legend of the Two Swords" in his hand, and found that it was exactly the same as what Wu Neng said, he laughed dryly, and quickly stuffed the album back to its place, and after rubbing his eyes, Shi Cheng said: "Haha, looking at it this way, it is indeed better to "Looking for Relatives in Another World". ā
The books had been almost selected, and after the three of them finished their money, they rode in a carriage to purchase other supplies.
Not long after the sun set, Shi Cheng and the three returned to the Cuiye Inn as promised and met the elders of the Du family.
There are a total of three elders of the Du family who came to Kenbin Royal City, among them, the two elders named Du Shouyue and Duke are both high-level cultivators, and the leader is named Du Shenghao, who is a half-step grandmaster.
It wasn't until Du Shenghao and Shi Cheng met that the Du family finally saw the true cultivation of Shi Cheng and Tie Mian.
Du Shenghao felt jealous in his heart, he wanted to use some tricks to force Shi Cheng and Tie Mian to explain the whereabouts of the treasure, but in the face of the two peak half-step grandmasters, he finally obediently admitted it.
The process of negotiation between Shi Cheng and the Du family was not as twists and turns as expected, and after the colorful flatbreads fell over, Shi Cheng, who looked like a master of the world, still succeeded in fooling the people of the Du family.
In the end, after Shi Cheng got more information about Du Heng, he also gained a surprise, Du Shenghao learned that Shi Cheng and the three of them were planning to enter the forbidden area in the near future, and hoped to send the Du family's clansmen to accompany Shi Cheng and the three of them into the Kenbin forbidden area to explore the way.
Of course, Shi Cheng knew in his heart what twists and turns Du Shenghao's stomach was, but he himself had no objection to this, he needed some people who knew more about the situation inside the Kenbin Forbidden Area to assist, so that the plan to enter the forbidden area to explore would be more complete.
