Chapter 55: Business is business
Indirect practice has proved that even if there is no contact with the double cultivation, the Yin-Yang technique is also helpful to open up the meridian acupuncture points, and the use of the doorway in the chongguan not only accelerates the progress of breaking through the acupuncture points, but also improves the transformation effect of the true element.
With the help of Sister Qing, the time to open the Neiguan acupoint was almost two to three days earlier than originally planned.
So Liu Xiaolou happily entered the impact of the seventh cave, the Great Tomb Cave, but only one spirit stone was left in his hand. Half a month later, the last piece was also used up, and I had to end this meditation practice.
When Sister Qing came to the door again, Liu Xiaolou thanked her: "Sister Qing, I can't repay you for your careful guidance these days, this piece of jade is a little thoughtful, please smile." ”
Sister Qing was stunned: "Don't cultivate?" ”
Liu Xiaolou said: "It's almost time to go back to the mountain, and I don't know if Qingyuzong has left ......."
Sister Qing hurriedly said: "They haven't left, they're still there, you just stay steadfast, didn't you say that your cultivation is not shallow?" Why not just go for it? ”
Liu Xiaolou scratched his head: "Haven't left yet?" It's been three months......" and said with a wry smile: "Then I have to go, the spirit stone is gone, I have to go out to find an opportunity to earn some spirit stones." ”
Sister Qing smiled: "I've been thinking about this for you!" Two days ago, an outer steward of the Qingyu Sect went to my place to eat and drink, and after eating too much, he opened his mouth and scolded Zhanglong Mountain, Dongyang Mountain and Tianmu Mountain, saying that it was because of these three mountains, they were so tired that they were reprimanded by the sect, and they had to travel thousands of miles away to work hard. My girl asked the reason, and the steward said that Sanshan refused to sell their spirit wine and rice, so he had to go to other places, and he was sent to Qiandong, and he was not sure whether the sect over there would sell it. ”
Jingxiang factions, Zhanglong Mountain produces spiritual rice, Tianmu Mountain brews spiritual wine, Dongyang Mountain also brews a little spiritual wine, but it is not much, in addition, the rest of the sects, families, and scattered cultivation sects produce very little, and it is not enough for their own use, and it is impossible to take them out for sale.
Liu Xiaolou asked, "Why don't these three mountains be sold to the Qingyu Sect?" ”
Sister Qing sneered: "Their Qingyu Sect came to Xiangxi, claiming to be the Jingxiang Cultivation Sect to eliminate the scourge, saying that the three mountains were jealous, and saying that the various cultivation sects were confined to the idea of the region, and did not receive their kindness, and looked indignant. But even our industry knows that you can't cross the line when doing business, you are a sect in Xiangdong, and you came to Xiangxi to suppress thieves, and people can't say anything because of their feelings, what is it to stumble behind your back? It's just a refusal to sell spiritual rice and spiritual wine, and if it were us, we would have already hit the door! ”
Liu Xiaolou picked up the big man and said: "Sister Qing is insightful, in one sentence!" ”
Sister Qing said again: "These masters of the Qingyu Sect, what can they do if they don't eat spirit wine and spirit rice? Can't live? What a grandfather...... Forget it, don't talk about this, just say that I listened to it and was still pondering, I remember that there was a benefactor in the past, it was the Zhang family of Jinping Mountain, it seems that the status is not low, I want to find a way, see if I can contact him, I know that their Zhang family also brews spirit wine. ”
Liu Xiaolou thought for a while and said: "Sister Qing's idea is good, I'll find a way to drink the spirit, I can come back in two or three days as soon as possible, or five or six days as slow, if Sister Qing has a chance, help me contact the steward of the Qingyu Sect, and let's find a way to sell the wine up the mountain." ”
Sister Qing immediately made a decision: "Just do it, give him a few more spirit stones, and help Xiaolou get through the Five Classics as soon as possible!" ”
Liu Xiaolou's way is naturally not Jinpingshan Zhang's, he immediately went out and locked up, rushed to Tianmen Shanfang City, Wei Hongqing was in charge of Hongji Restaurant, isn't this the biggest way?
When he arrived at Hongji Restaurant, Wei Hongqing was not there, but the shopkeeper already knew Liu Xiaolou and knew that he was a friend of Wei Dong's family, so he went to the inner room to sit down, and greeted him with wine and food.
Liu Xiaolou took the opportunity to inquire about the price, and the shopkeeper also informed him.
Hongji Restaurant sells three kinds of spiritual wine, the most ordinary Lu's spiritual cellar, a jar of forty taels of silver, that is, the kind that Liu Xiaolou drank when he first came to Liu Xiaolou's own account, the spiritual power is very light, even Liu Xiaolou, a monk who refines qi on the third floor, is not addicted to drinking, just talking about gargling.
The high-end one is Zhuyeqing, that is, the kind that Wei Hongqing entertained him to drink, a jar of several hundred taels of silver, or a piece of spiritual stone and a half altar, and the spirit wine brewed by the Zhang family of Jinping Mountain of the Dongyang Sect is equivalent to its taste.
The best is Tianmu Lingtai Wine, which is said to be brewed with the spiritual spring water of Tianmu Mountain, and Liu Xiaolou has never seen it, but it is just Lu's own use and is not for sale.
If you want to pour the spirit wine to the masters of the Qingyu Sect, the Lu Clan's Spirit Cellar can't take it, and it can't be sold at a price, so you have to get bamboo leaves.
But the shopkeeper was only willing to sell a pot, and asked the reason, only saying that this batch was brewed less, only for Tianmu Mountain's own drinking, but he had no spare energy to sell it, if it wasn't for Wei Dong's face, he didn't dare to take out this pot and sell it.
And so it was! So Liu Xiaolou didn't say anything more and waited for Wei Hongqing with peace of mind.
Waiting until late at night, when the restaurant was about to close, Wei Hongqing hurriedly returned, and when he saw Liu Xiaolou, he was not surprised, but he just blasted out the idle people, and asked in a low voice: "Xiaolou, have you heard?" The second son of Lu is gone. ”
Liu Xiaolou remained silent: "What did Brother Wei hear over there?" ”
Wei Hongqing said: "I heard from the people of the Qingyu Sect that he once took two people to forcibly break into the Taoyuan, and after entering the mountain, he disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't even find out the shape technique. One of them, my brother suspects that it is a steward under my command, and this steward has also lost news, and the other one does not know. ”
Liu Xiaolou asked rhetorically: "Is his disappearance a good thing or a bad thing for Brother Wei?" ”
Wei Hongqing smiled and said: "Of course it's a good thing, this guy has always been good at making trouble for his brother, and in the past few months, he has really saved a lot of worry for his brother." ”
Liu Xiaolou said: "Isn't that good? ”
Wei Hongqing said: "It's that his brother Lu Yuanlang is a little troublesome, like a mad dog, he doesn't like anyone, and everyone is the murderer who killed his brother, but he is not afraid of shadows for his brother, and he is messing around." However, Lu Yuanlang turned the spearhead back to the Qingyu Sect......"
Liu Xiaolou realized: "So Tianmu Mountain has cut off their spiritual wine?" ”
Wei Hongqing nodded: "It was Lu Yuanlang's proposal, and there was also the reason why the Zhanglong faction took the initiative to contact him." The sect elders agreed to cut off their spirit wine, and the Zhanglong faction also decided not to sell them spirit rice, and the people of the Qingyu Sect were used to eating spirit wine and spirit rice, and they suddenly changed their taste, they couldn't stand it. See how long they can stay in Xiangxi...... So ......"
Liu Xiaolou diverted the topic: "So my brother came this time, and I want to ask Brother Wei, can Zhu Yeqing sell some to my brother?" ”
Wei Hongqing nodded, with a smile on his face: "How much do you want?" ”
Liu Xiaolou said: "Try not to cause trouble to Brother Wei, how about coming to the four altars first?" ”
Wei Hongqing said: "These days, I didn't sell spirit wine to the outside world...... So come every two days, and take one jar with you every day, and I will give you eighty taels of jars, but you cannot say that you bought it from me. ”
Liu Xiaolou said happily: "Then thank you Brother Wei!" ”
Liu Xiaolou took out all his net worth, counted the golden hairpin and pearl jade picked up by the big white goose and the silver ingot given by Sister Qing, and just made up more than 80 taels of silver and folded them to Wei Hongqing.
Wei Hongqing originally wanted to cushion Liu Xiaolou, but Liu Xiaolou insisted on not allowing it, since it was enough to convert, why bother to let the good brother advance money?
Holding this altar of bamboo leaves, Liu Xiaolou rushed back to Wuchao Town overnight.
