When Hoshigaki regained consciousness, he was still in Shimen Castle. Only this time, he was lying wet on the edge of the bustling city market.

Looking into the distance, the place that was once the most familiar to me was only a piece of blue. The wisps of clouds obscured the boundary between the Star Immortals and the mortals, and only the Sun Monarch's chariot leaked the light from the sky, making the strange world look less different from the heavenly realm.

Pedestrians and cars still hurried by, and no one seemed to notice the embarrassed star officer on the street corner.

Xingyuan first reached into his heart, although the light was there, the flickering light was a little illusory.

"It turns out that I have now become a spiritual state. He immediately understood his situation, and then sighed to himself: "At that time, I was deeply trapped in the eyes of the Liangyi and Sanyao Rebellion Formation, and probably Antares had already predicted this calamity, so he used the soul placement technique to protect my spirit. However, it is imperative that I find my true body as soon as possible, otherwise when the reverse array is truly activated, I will be completely destroyed. ”

As he spoke, he was about to get up and leave, but an irresistible force pulled him back into his place.

"It's ...... Is it the bondage of the soul placement technique," Xingyuan secretly wondered, "The soul placement technique can place any spirit spirit in a certain body, unless the spell is lifted or the body dies out, how can my spirit god be alone like now? Could it be that before the soul placement technique was unraveled, Cao Gongzi had already ......"

There was a "clanging" sound, which was the sound of metal falling to the ground.

Xingyuan, who was interrupted from his train of thought, turned his head in a voice, but saw a son in a brocade robe and embroidered robe.

"Let's go buy something to eat. "The boy who spoke looked like he was eighteen or nineteen years old, his face was simple and kind, and the silver that landed was exactly what he threw at Xingyuan.

"Thank you, but I'm not hungry. Hoshigaki replied.

"Then go change into some clean clothes to wear, although the sun is good now, wet clothes will not dry so easily, and you will get sick after wearing it for a long time. ”

Hoshigaki was subject to the power of the soul placement technique, and his maximum activity could only be to sit up and smile at the child.

"Young Master, who are you talking to, why are you throwing the silver on the ground?"

A servant approached Childe's side.

Childe pointed to Xingyuan, "Don't you see a person sitting here, his clothes are wet from the rain......"

"What did the young master say, this is obviously an empty street corner, and I haven't even seen a mouse. What's more, now that the sun is shining, where does the rain come from?" the servant smiled, bending down to pick up the silver ingots on the ground, "It is not as good as it used to be, and our silver money can no longer be squandered. ”

"But this man ...... Eh, it's gone!" Childe rubbed his eyes vigorously, and he didn't see Xingyuan again.

"The young master is kind-hearted, and he often thinks about helping the poor, so he will inevitably be dazzled for a while," the servant persuaded beside him: "It's just that let's rush to see Boss Ling now, so don't delay here." ”

Childe nodded at his servant, "You have a point. Now I, Cao Letai, must earn a family business by my own strength, so that I can redeem Miss Rose and marry her as my main wife. I hope that this time I can cooperate with that Boss Ling smoothly......"

The master and servant talked as they walked, and turned into a money house facing south to the west of the market entrance.

"It turns out that he is Cao Letai, the son of the richest man in Shimen, and he doesn't seem to be abnormal. Hoshigaki looked at their backs and thought seriously, "It's just that ordinary mortals can't see the image of the spirit god, but he can talk to me now...... If there was no restriction on me, with the energy of the Seven Stars, I would have been able to manifest myself in front of him, but now, the restriction on me from Soul Placement has not disappeared, and this restriction still comes from his essence...... If you insist on explaining this phenomenon, there is only one possibility!"

"The spirit of Xingyuan is in Cao Letai's memory. ”

In the Caofu compound, the rain gradually subsided, but the dark clouds overhead were still heavy, and the gloomy sky was pressing everyone's breathing.

Outside, on the streets, ordinary people came out to watch the strange sky, pointing and noisily continuing round after round of fruitless and meaningless discussions.

Fortunately, these noises had been closed outside the mansion by the gate of the richest man in Shimen, and in the courtyard of Cao's mansion, only the sound of water dripping from the long hair and robes soaked by Antares and Heguer was the same.

"Xingyuan is good at spells, and he is also good at perceiving living beings, so letting his spirit and spirit merge into Cao Gongzi's memories must be the key to solving this deadly situation in the world. ”

Antares spoke firmly, but Hegu Er, who was standing next to him, crossed his arms and didn't say a word, just stared at the son of Cao Letai lying on the ground with concern.

Looking at his state, Antares smiled, "Pleiades Xingjun, are you worried that this mortal will suffer from typhoid fever after waking up, or are you worried that Nandou Xingjun will never be able to come back?"

He Gu Er glanced at him, "Naturally, I care more about the safety of the Southern Dipper Star Monarch." ”

Antares squinted his eyes, in stark contrast to Kawaguji's solemn face, "It's understandable, after all, I prophesied that only Hoshigaki would know Lady Zun's whereabouts." ”

The two eyes of the river drum raised their eyebrows, noncommittal.

Since he was in Cao Letai's memory, everything Xingyuan experienced was easy to explain—he was able to appear independently in Cao Gongzi's memory realm in the form of a spirit god, perceiving anything that the soul body had done, but he couldn't completely get rid of the host's restrictions on his own spirit.

"So, now is not the time for me to look for the body," Xingyuan mused, "I only want to go to the Purple Cloud Tower, but it is not the place where Cao Gongzi wants to go at this time, I should go to the place where he is according to his thoughts." ”

As soon as his mind moved, Xingyuan's spirit immediately left the market, followed the route Cao Letai had just taken, and turned into the money house in the west.

Cao Letai was in the Qian Zhuang at this time, and was treated as a guest, and a team of men lined up next to him were waiting for fragrant tea, hundred fruits, and pen and ink from time to time, and Xingyuan stood behind him in the state of a spirit, but it had been completely ignored by this Cao Dagongzi as a matter of course.

The proprietor of the money village has a big waist and a round waist, and the horizontal flesh on his face squeezes a pair of eyes into two crooked slits, "Prince Letai, let's sign this document, and your hundred taels of silver can be used as the principal of our money bank's loan, and the term is half a year, and the account will be written down for you on a monthly basis." ”

Cao Letai picked up the teacup in his hand, sipped, and nodded, "Boss Quan Yiling is." ”

The owner of the money bank, who was called "Boss Ling", beckoned the guy next to him to hand over an abacus, "I'll calculate it for you, three out of ten, three out of three, nine ......" He said something in his mouth, and his short and thick fingers made the tortoiseshell abacus sound chaotically, and even Xingyuan, who was standing behind Cao Letai, couldn't stop being upset when he heard it.

Suddenly, the noise stopped abruptly.

Boss Ling stopped what he was doing, and said to Cao Letai slowly: "Young Master Cao, in half a year, your principal and interest will be four hundred and eighty taels. ”

"Four hundred and eighty taels?" Cao Letai heard this, and the tea in his hand almost spilled on his clothes.

Xingyuan also muttered to himself, "Although the world regards gold and silver as rare wealth, can this rare wealth really multiply the profits here? If it is so easy, then this place is really worthy of the so-called 'money bank'......"

However, in the spirit state, his doubts were naturally unnoticed.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Cao Letai's soft sigh became more and more audible.

Seeing this, Boss Ling was a little inexplicable, "Isn't Le Tai Gongzi still too little in dividends?"

"No, no, no......" Cao Letai waved his hand again and again, "Thanks to Boss Ling for pointing out the way to make money for me, I can only have the honor to achieve this profitable business with you today, but it's just ......"

"Just?"

"It's just that half a year is a bit long......"

Boss Ling leaned in front of Le Tai Gongzi, "What do you mean by that?"

Cao Letai was embarrassed: "I can't hide it, I have made a private lifelong ...... with the top girl of Ziyun Building, Golden Rose."

"That's a good thing. Boss Ling arched his hands, "Loctite Gongzi Shopping Mall is proud of each other, I, Ling, want to congratulate you first." ”

"Boss Ling, don't look at my superficial scenery, but in fact, you don't understand the pain in my heart. Cao Letai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Since I was born in the Cao family, the richest man in Shimen City, how can the family let me marry a Qinglou woman as the main room? ”

Boss Ling continued to echo, "Son Loctite is sincere and young, so he is really admired." ”

Cao Letai was still worried, "Since I left the house, I have no money and no fixed residence, so I have to rely on Miss Rose to take me in temporarily. But when Miss Rose stopped picking up customers, Mother Yun of Ziyun Tower was embarrassed for her everywhere. Yun's mother also told me that if she could not redeem the golden rose within three months, she would marry a wealthy merchant in Lincheng in exchange for money for redemption. ”

Boss Ling was stunned, "It's only, only three months?"

"At most, only three months. Cao Letai nodded slowly, "Boss Ling, your fund-raising business is indeed profitable, but it's a pity that if I wait for the first half of the year, even if I have gold and silver, I will lose Miss Rose, I am afraid that I will regret it for the rest of my life." ”

Boss Ling sighed with him: "I see. It's me Ling, who is superficial, I don't know that Le Tai Gongzi has such thoughts in his heart...... In this case, Ling is interested in adult beauty......"

At this point, Boss Ling waved his hand, and after a guy turned around and went to the hall, Shaoqing came out with a tray, and on the tray, silver ingots were neatly stacked.

"There are forty pieces here, ten taels each," the shopkeeper of the money bank got up and took the tray from the man's hand and placed it in front of Cao Letai, "Please let the prince pass the number." ”

Cao Letai was stunned, "What does Boss Ling mean?"

Boss Ling only narrowed his eyes even more, "This should have been your half-year dividend, I am in charge now and lend it to you in advance." ”

Cao Letai couldn't believe his ears, "This ...... One hundred taels was replaced by four hundred taels?"

Boss Ling always replied calmly and affirmatively: "Of course, Mr. Loctite, of course." ”

Xingyuan always watched coldly when no one was paying attention, and thought deeply, "Although I don't understand the way of monetary business of mortals, I always feel that it is easy to get such a high profit, and there must be a very dangerous price behind it......"

"Come, and then serve the prince of Loctite. ”

Boss Ling's shout made Xingyuan involuntarily come to Cao Letai's approach.

But when he saw Le Tai Gongzi reach out and take the pen full of ink, he wrote his name on a thin piece of paper without thinking.

Hoshigaki looked at it before confirming, "How is this an IOU?"
