Chapter 2 The Rich Men of the Water Towns (II)
Zhong Geng's eldest disciple Wu Zhen, a hundred-wheel division, can almost be promoted to the thousand-wheel division, is Zhong Geng's most proud disciple, today is only twenty-eight years old, is expected to break through to the thousand-wheel division at the age of thirty, this age reaches the thousand-wheel division, which means that it is very likely to step into the realm of the secret wheel division in this life, a secret wheel division, in a remote place, can definitely be the king and hegemon.
Wu Zhen discussed with his master for most of the night yesterday, and the only conclusion he came to was to try his best to befriend each other, with a young man like Lei Xingfeng, as long as he didn't anger him, it shouldn't be unfavorable to them, and the most reassuring thing for them was that this kind of genius person would never stay in this place for a long time, this place should only be a place where he lived temporarily, that is, it was impossible for him to threaten their local power at all.
Therefore, Wu Zhen came over early in the morning to invite.
Lei Xingfeng did not refuse, but took Zhou Xin with him, as for Uncle Zhou Tong, he was not willing to go, it was really difficult for an honest person to socialize with people.
The reason why he took Zhou Xin with him, Lei Xingfeng had his own ideas, he knew that he could not stay in the local area for a long time, so that Zhou Xin could know Zhong Geng, this kind of earth snake with strong force, which would be good for Zhou Xin's future development.
Follow the pier back to the bazaar.
The water market in the early morning is extremely beautiful, the faint fog, a few water birds fly leisurely, the sound of the water gently, so the house seems to be floating on the water, the wooden street has a lot of people have begun to set up stalls, are all kinds of food stalls, the wooden street is the waterway, a small boat rowed through, after entering the market, the noisy sound came to the face.
Wu Zhen said with a smile: "This market is the most lively place on the water nearby, and it is rare for so many people to gather and live together in other places, and when it comes to the rainy season, there are more people." ”
Lei Xingfeng said: "Rainy season?"
Wu Zhen said: "Well, the rainy season is not suitable for fishing far away, fishermen will gather, especially in the two months when the rain is the heaviest, when almost all the fishermen outside will come back to escape the storm." ”
Lei Xingfeng does not know much about the local climate, he has been living in the mountains before, there is a warm season and a cold season, and here is different, there are also two seasons, but it is the rainy season and the dry season, there will be a large amount of land in the dry season, the rainy season, this place is full of water, and the previously exposed land will be re-submerged, forming a large area of swampy lake, so the locals are fishermen, there are no land residents.
Along the way, the three of them soon came to the residential area behind the market, a cluster of wooden houses on the water.
Wu Zhen whistled, a small boat rowed over, and a sturdy fisherman said, "Young Master." After saying hello, he pushed the boat against it and waited for the three to board it.
The three of them got on the boat and sat down, and the fisherman said, "Sit down." As he spoke, he pushed the bamboo pole hard and pushed the boat hard, and then he paddled along the waterway.
After a while, he came to an independent water courtyard with a large wooden platform, and Zhou Xin shouted: "Brother Lei, look, that crocodile is on it!"
On the platform, a huge crocodile fish has been divided into several sections, the skin has also been divided, a huge fish head is erected on the platform, the teeth in the mouth are exposed, each one is the size of a palm, glowing with a faint white light, like jade.
Zhou Xin was really curious, and after getting on the platform, he ran to look, Wu Zhen immediately ordered someone to follow, in case someone collided with the child, he now knew that Lei Xingfeng was not ordinarily good to Zhou Xin, let people follow Zhou Xin, and he personally accompanied Lei Xingfeng into the room.
Lei Xingfeng noticed that the rooms here were very exquisitely built, completely different from the bazaar houses, the bazaar houses were rough and simple, as long as they could meet the needs of living and living, and the houses here were much more exquisite, with carved doors and windows, the roof was also paved with glazed tiles, and the same was true on the ridges, and a string of wind chimes hung on the high raised eaves, which made a crisp sound with the breeze.
On the pillars made of huge logs, carved with various water beasts, the wooden planks on the ground are extremely thick, and you can know the road when you step on it, which is completely different from the planks on the street of the market, the plank street on the bazaar, stepping on it will make a creaking sound, there is no sound at all here, you can imagine how much material is used below, at a glance, you can know that this is the practice of rich people, with Zhong Geng's strength, in a small place, it is definitely a big rich man.
Carved railings and paintings, exquisite carpets, light yarn fluttering, the corners of the corridor, there are all kinds of green plants and flowers, there are many ordinary people's servants, when they see Wu Zhen, they immediately give gifts, and call them the eldest young master.
Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but sigh, he was a secret wheel master, he had never been treated like this, before cultivating, he even had to worry about three meals, after cultivating, continuous battles, I don't know how much richer the experience of the Dao is much richer than this eldest young master, but when it comes to the quality of life, he can't compare to Wu Zhen no matter what.
The largest house is in the center of the water courtyard, through several ring corridors, to the central house, it is a large house that is open on all sides, because the climate here is warm, whether it is the rainy season or the dry season, the climate is very warm, so there are many rich people's rooms, are hollowed out on all sides, only with light yarn to cover the mosquito infestation, this room is more than 300 square meters, only a dozen huge pillars support, a large number of green plants are placed around.
Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but praise: "Very good building." "He's a well-informed man, and although the building is unusually beautiful, his expression is indifferent.
Wu Zhen nodded secretly, only people who have seen a lot will have such a demeanor, he has seen many local rich people, entering here, they are all dumbfounded, Zhong Geng greeted him, he smiled: "Welcome, hehe, it's a little simple." He said politely.
Lei Xingfeng said: "It's already very good. ”
Behind Zhong Geng is Han Xuanbao, as for Tian Dabing, he didn't appear at all, yesterday, Tian Dabing's performance made him very disappointed, if it weren't for the fact that the Tian family still has a lot of power in the local area, I am afraid that he will immediately drive away this guy, which will simply cause trouble to the master.
The four of them sat down, and a servant brought breakfast, Lei Xingfeng said, "Give my little brother a copy." ”
Zhong Geng gave an order, and immediately a servant went to the platform to wait for Zhou Xin to have breakfast.
The breakfast was very rich, there were rice, gruel, all kinds of fried fish, and a lot of pickled vegetables, Lei Xingfeng could not know much, they were all local specialty products, the taste was quite good, and he was very satisfied with this meal.
After breakfast, Zhong Geng began to test Lei Xingfeng, he hoped to find out which sect Lei Xingfeng was from, and why did he want to come to this remote place.
Of course, Lei Xingfeng won't tell the truth, he just said simply, it was a request from the master, and there was no special purpose for coming here to practice for a while.
Although Zhong Geng was skeptical, he also put his mind at ease, he saw that Lei Xingfeng had no malicious intentions, the disciple's experience was an act that all major sects had, and any sect disciple would go out to practice, all kinds of reasons, all kinds of strange experiences, he didn't have the slightest doubt about this.
Han Xuanbao didn't speak, she looked at Lei Xingfeng curiously, she really couldn't figure it out, such a young person, actually cultivated more powerful than the master, the secret wheel master, that is an extremely powerful existence, she has seen a secret wheel master so far, the age is at least seventy or eighty years old, it is really full of shelves, I didn't expect a teenager to be able to cultivate to the secret wheel master, I really don't know how this person cultivates.
Zhong Geng said: "Brother Lei, since you have come here to practice, you can live with me in the future, it is more comfortable than living on a boat." ”
Lei Xingfeng categorically refused, he didn't want to live here, it was inconvenient to cultivate or anything, he said: "That's not necessary, I still live on the boat, but there is one thing to trouble Mr. Zhong." ”
Zhong Geng said: "Please say, as long as I can help, there must be no problem." ”
Lei Xingfeng said: "I need a small boat, well, I can pay for it." He considered that if the rainy season came, he needed to go out to cultivate, and the thunderstorm was the golden season for his cultivation, and he needed to quickly improve his strength here, so he had to go out alone, and it was impossible to trouble Uncle Zhou again, and it was very dangerous to go out on a rainy day, especially on a thunderstorm day, Uncle Zhou was an ordinary person, and he couldn't stop the thunder and lightning.
Zhong Geng was surprised: "I want to buy a small boat...... Uh, no problem, I have it here, I'll send you one directly, well, do you want a servant?"
Lei Xingfeng said: "You don't need to send it, I'll buy it, and I don't want a servant." ”
Zhong Geng smiled: "It's just a small boat, you really don't need to buy it, hehe, the boat is worthless locally." ”
Lei Xingfeng thought about it for a while, and even if it was, for him, a small boat was really nothing, he was not an ordinary person, and nodded: "Okay, so thank you." "A thank you is still a must.
Zhong Geng immediately smiled, he was very satisfied with Lei Xingfeng's attitude, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare a good boat.
Communicating with Zhong Geng, Lei Xingfeng got a lot of news, which he couldn't get from Uncle Zhou, this place is indeed very remote, it is an inconspicuous little corner of Wanhu Continent, I heard that after walking for half a year, you can get to Jumanzhou, that is where Lei Xingfeng came out, and here is at least ten years away from the center of Wanhu Continent, of course, if the cultivator uses the ancient wheel passage, it will not take long.
Compared to Jumanzhou, Wanhu Continent is relatively much more lively, not only the city has a large population, but also many various cultivation sects, even if it is a small remote place, there are many cultivators, but this world is too big, it is really a vast and sparsely populated place, a small place, even if there are cultivators, the number of people is not too much, and the level is relatively low, a thousand wheel division or even a thousand wheel division is enough to control a place.
Many cultivators who have no hope of advancing to the next level will choose to return to their hometown to develop, or find a small remote place to become a rich man and dominate one place, which is enough to develop a small family.
Zhong Geng said: "Brother Lei, are you free in the last few days?"
Lei Xingfeng said, "Is there something wrong?"
Zhong Geng smiled: "Yes, it's a good thing." ”
