Volume 4 Robbery Chapter 59 Donghai Station
The shore was full of people coming and going, and the horses were full of businessmen, and many of the workers in charge of supplies were far away and began to solicit business. Jin Hibiscus found a seemingly honest young man, pointed out to him where the Kunpeng docked, and asked him to contact the people on the ship to do the supply on his own.
The young man was very happy to see the business coming to him, and he ran to the Kunpeng with a full promise. At this time, a middle-aged man walked in front of him, saw Jin Furong and gave a salute, and said: "Stop the boat here, fifty taels of silver a day, or a low-grade spirit stone, I don't know how many days the guest officer will stop? If the boat stops for a month, the fee for three days can be waived." ”
Jin Furong looked at Xue Li and asked, "Do you think a few days are enough?"
Xue Li scratched his head, "What's the matter, it will take a month, there are many people here, and it will take a long time to look for it carefully." ”
"How much money will it cost for a month! Ten days, we'll stay here for ten days, and we'll give you five days' money, and then we'll renew when it's full. Jin Hibiscus said with a mean face.
The middle-aged man smiled, and as a result, five lower-grade spirit stones, he didn't talk much, and turned to leave.
Xue Li said stupidly, "If you already have a plan, why do you still ask me?"
Jin Furong snorted, ignored him, flicked her red water sleeves, and walked towards the crowd in front of her. A crew member next to him glanced at Xue Li, and said gloatingly: "Brother Xue, you haven't figured out the temper of the head of the house until now, it's really a long way to go!
Xue Li scolded him and followed everyone into the bustling crowd.
The coast of the East China Sea is a large area, with many dotted towns along the coastline, each of which claims to be the coast of the East China Sea, and in this case, the East China Sea Coast refers to a vast area. For the sake of convenience, each town has an additional name, which is called Xingluo Town.
After several years of experience in searching for people, Xue Li and Jin Furong first rushed to the inn here, where there is a large flow of people and is a good place to find people. The group stopped at the door of an inn called Donghaiyi. Like many country inns, this inn is not prosperous, but when he stepped into it, Xue Li still felt some differences.
There was a huge animal white bone hanging at the door of the inn, about a foot high, and he couldn't tell what it was, but he vaguely felt that it should be something in the sea. Although it looks simple on the outside, there is an unfathomable feeling on the inside.
A middle-aged man greeted him and said politely: "Guest officer, may I ask if you are going to be sharpened or staying in the hotel?"
"Stay. Jin Hibiscus said heartily.
The middle-aged man glanced at the number of people in the group, took out a huge shell and handed it to Jin Hibiscus, "This is the room of the small shop, I don't know how many you want?"
Xue Li saw that the shape, location, and price of the room were marked on the shells, which could be described as exquisite and abnormal. I can't help but secretly sigh at the intentions of this inn. But Jin Furong and Xue Li didn't have the same feeling in her heart at all, because the room here was a bit expensive.
"It's really unscrupulous to ask for two low-grade spirit stones or a hundred taels of silver a day in the upper room. She scolded the inn's unkindness as she walked out.
The shopkeeper saw that the guests who came to the door were leaving, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Please slow down, what you see is the usual price of the small shop, and it is the off-season at this time, so let's do it, if you rent more than five rooms, you will be given a 20% discount." ”
Jin Furong looked up at him and continued to calculate, "If you are in a low-class room, one spirit stone a day, ten days is a stone spirit stone, five rooms are fifty pieces, and a twenty percent discount will cost forty pieces." Thinking of this, a hint of determination appeared on her bright cheeks.
Shut down
Shut down
"Rent you for ten days, all at a 50% discount, otherwise my aunt and grandmother will go back to live on the boat." This sentence hit the pain of the shopkeeper, although there are people coming and going here, but most of the people come from the sea, and it is natural to live on the ship, no matter how he improves the style of the inn, business is still not good.
The shopkeeper thought for a while, and then nodded his head: "To be honest, this price is already low to the floor, but I make friends at a loss, and I will often come and go in the future." ”
Jin Furong said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is an understanding person, you give me an upper room, one for the other two, an ordinary room, we will stay for ten days, don't forget, you have to provide breakfast." After speaking, she handed over the spirit stone that had already been calculated.
Hearing the word breakfast, the shopkeeper couldn't wait to kneel down for her, and took the spirit stone with a look of resentment, and he called a young man to lead everyone into the room.
Xue Li lived in the same room with a man named Wu Yuanshan, who had been on the ship for a long time in the late stage of Qi training, and was shrewd and trusted by Jin Furong. Although it is an ordinary room, it is elegantly decorated, the floor is not stained, and there are two wooden beds neatly stacked in the room, which is deeply satisfied by Xue Li.
It was already noon when they settled down, and they dined in the hall by the way. With the golden hibiscus here, the group ate very simply, Xue Li's cultivation was too high, and he had long stopped eating fireworks in the world. However, in densely populated places, the aura is relatively sparse, so he goes to the market with him and eats some good or bad.
The shopkeeper bowed his head to keep accounts, and occasionally looked up at the group a few times, with some kindness in his eyes. Jin Hibiscus ate quickly, and after eating, she came to the counter and said politely: "Looking down at the shopkeeper's eyes are sharp, and there is a faint flash of aura, could it be that the shopkeeper is also a cultivator?"
The middle-aged man smiled kindly: "Objectively, where does the villain know what to cultivate, but there are more guests from the south and north, and his vision is sharper than that of ordinary people." Speaking of aura, since the shop collects spirit stones, there must be aura surrounding, which is extremely natural. ”
"Don't you know that the spirit stone is of great use to cultivators, but it has a strong corrosive effect on ordinary people, and it is harmful and useless if it is exposed for a long time. Jin Hibiscus said with a little surprise.
"Hehe, I naturally know this, but there are some ways to eliminate the influence. As he spoke, the shopkeeper took out a jade pendant from his waist, the whole body was slightly yellow, and a lot of aura was attached to it.
"This jade is the best at absorbing the soul, as long as you wear a piece around the waist, it can prevent too much spiritual energy from invading the skin and causing damage. In order to eliminate Jin Hibiscus's doubts, the shopkeeper took the initiative to explain the mystery. He has seen a lot of guests from the north and south, some of whom are more suspicious, and always like to interrogate his identity, and when he encounters Jin Hibiscus's interrogation, he is very fluent in answering.
Jin Furong had bright eyes, and said with a smile: "When I first arrived, I don't know if there are any mountain gates and dojos in the local cultivation world of Lu Dao that need to be visited, and I know in advance that some of the Lu Dao are always good, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”
She has been wandering for a long time, and she has a deep feeling for the rules and dogmas in the world of cultivating the true world, if a sect of cultivating immortals has taken root in a certain place, and the foreign scattered cultivators are in this place, they naturally want to visit it, most of the time it doesn't matter whether they are winning or losing, just drinking tea and discussing the Tao, and enhancing their knowledge.
On the contrary, if you know that there is an immortal sect here, but pretend not to know, you will definitely offend the people in the sect, and sooner or later you will meet each other. However, Jin Hibiscus inquired about this matter, naturally not to worship the pier. She knew that Ye Sihan's disappearance must be related to immortal cultivators, and the search only needed to start from the immortal cultivation sects in various places.
Xue Li knew the intention of Jin Furong, and also walked over and listened on the side.
The shopkeeper is not a person who cultivates the truth, and he can't see the cultivation of the two, but he only feels that Xue Li is unfathomable. Seeing that he approached, his tone was much more polite, "If you talk about the Immortal Cultivation Sect, there is no place here." However, there are many small gangs on the docks, and many monks are mixed in with them. If you have already paid the spirit stones when you stop the ship, they will naturally not harass you. The gangs are fairly well-behaved. ”
Xue Li was a little discouraged, if there was only some loose cultivation, Ye Sihan would definitely not be among them. Without the wisdom of Jin Hibiscus, he asked directly: "May I ask the shopkeeper, have you ever seen a female cultivator who is slightly younger than me and often has ice on her body." ”
The shopkeeper's eyes were cold, and he immediately shook his head and said: "I have never seen it, the villain is just a mortal, even if I see the person you said, I may not know that she is a monk, let alone Bingqi." ”
Xue Li was about to say something, but Jin Furong interrupted him and said, "Do you know the shopkeeper, is there a place for scattered cultivation around here?" To tell you the truth, our group is a casual cultivator, and we only get together to find an employer to do something to earn spirit stones. ”
"If I go to Zhilu Dao, there is a wine shop in Mong Kok Town, twenty miles away from here, called Tongguan, and I heard that there are often cultivators there. As for whether there is a business or not, I don't know. The shopkeeper said truthfully.
Jin Furong thanked her and turned around to leave, but Xue Li didn't move. He saw the cold light in the shopkeeper's eyes, and knew that there must be something strange in this. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, as if Ye Sihan had been abducted by this poor shopkeeper, and gradually a scorching countercurrent flowed in his body.
Suddenly, a ray of flame erupted from Xue Li's fist. A fist shadow struck out with lightning speed, and the animal skeleton in the inn lobby burned to the ground in an instant, leaving only a trace of ashes.
His sword eyebrows were upside down, his tiger's eyes were wide open, and a domineering aura that devoured the world was released, which directly made the frightened soul of the shopkeeper not possess his body and collapsed to the ground.
"You know what Lu said, and you haven't recruited it from the truth!" Xue Li said fiercely, as if he was going to eat the shopkeeper.
Looking at the shopkeeper who fell to the ground, Jin Furong was very helpless, she patted Xue Li's shoulder, and then turned to comfort the shopkeeper and said: "Don't blame the shopkeeper, my guy is like a fire, and he is the most undeceivable to be deceived by him." He just saw that your words flickered, and there was something untrue, so he broke out. I think you're still being honest, otherwise he will launch a rush, and the little woman will not be able to stop him. ”
The middle-aged shopkeeper finally stood up and said tremblingly: "Immortal spare, I just had reservations all for your sake......
"Fart!" Xue Li heard the other party admit that he had reservations, and immediately yelled angrily.
The shopkeeper slumped to the ground again, and could not get up again. Jin Furong glanced at Xue Li angrily, the anger on his body went seven points, his mind calmed down, and he felt that he was a little reckless, so he stopped talking.
