Chapter 147: A Life of Seclusion

"Where are we going?" Qiao Zisang asked suddenly.

"The West is too barren, the Secret Pavilion of Middle-earth has too many eyeliners, the Northern Regions are full of snow-capped mountains, it's too cold, the East is full of spiritual power, the rain is abundant, you can go to the mortal realm to live in seclusion, what do you think?" Cangming said the reason for going to the East.

"Then let's go to the East, find a mortal kingdom to live in seclusion, and avoid the limelight. Qiao Zisang agreed with Cangming's words, because she felt that it didn't matter where she went.

In the end, Qiao Zisang and others found a more prosperous city and settled down.

The name of this country is Jiangguo, and Yunzhou, the most prosperous city in Jiangguo.

Yunzhou relies on the shipping of the river, the transportation here is very developed, the soil is fertile, and the grain is a bumper harvest. Coupled with a series of measures formulated by the state, it can be regarded as extremely prosperous.

Even mortals know that there are immortal cultivators, and some big families and wealthy families will cultivate one or two monks in the Qi refining period.

Here, the literary style and music are also very popular, and there have been countless great poets.

The location of Cangming and others, next to Ruolan Lake, the scenery here is excellent, the surrounding area is full of ancient roads paved with bluestone, and the riverbank is gently green willows, which is pleasant.

There are sporadic cries on the shore, and a few kilometers from the good lake, there is a relatively large bazaar. On the lake, there are also countless art workshops.

These were used to attract monks, literati and scholars.

The women in these flower shops are also selling their art but not their bodies, and many women are also telling beautiful and intoxicating stories about getting married here.

This makes those women who are in the red dust even more hardworking, they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they learn very hard, because here, although the appearance is the first, the connotation is also placed in the second place.

Moreover, literati still prefer women who are literate and can play the guzheng and guqin.

Only when these literati and writers marry them and go home can they have a sense of accomplishment and be able to brag about it in the circle of friends.

Soon, a sign engraved with Liufu was hung on the gate.

In order to play the role of a wealthy businessman, Cangming also opened some herb shops, hired a lot of jobs, and also recruited servants. There is also a team of nursing house thugs, whose strength is ordinary, and the leader is just a third-rate martial artist.

On the surface, Qiao Zisang is Cangming's wife, and Liu Yue is Cangming's sister-in-law.

The inner courtyard is forbidden for anyone to enter, and Cangming has also set up a formation inside, as long as it is a person who breaks into the inner courtyard, he can know it at the first time.

There are three houses in the inner courtyard, one for Qiao Zisang, one for Liu Yue, and one for Cangming's own.

A few days later, with Cangming's lavish publicity, everyone around knew that there was a Liufu, which was particularly rich. I opened five or six pharmacies when I first arrived.

You know, this pharmacy is not so easy to open, you need to have connections, but also have strong capital.

As for the connections, Cangming went to the yamen, and after a spirit stone bribed the county order, this county order became Cangming's backstage.

Before leaving, Cangming also showed his hand, the level of an innate master.

Such strength is already very strong, and it can be ranked here as well.

Therefore, the county order took the money, and he didn't dare to do anything at all, and many things were in one sentence.

Life began to quiet down, and when he was tired of cultivation, Cangming took out the guzheng and played music.

Time flies, and soon a year has passed, this year is spring, Cangming is deep and simple, many people only hear its name, but do not see it.

In the last month, the original county order of Yuncheng left, and a new county order came.

As soon as this county order came, they invited all families to go and chant poems and paint, presumably to show their faces.

"Master, the new county magistrate has an invitation to invite you to participate in the Yunhu Calligraphy and Painting Conference. The butler came over with an invitation.

"Okay, got it. You go get busy. Cangming took the invitation and issued an eviction order.

When the housekeeper heard this, he left very respectfully.

He has followed Cangming for many years, and knows that Cangming doesn't like to talk much, and many things are sent away with one or two sentences, and he never asks about small things.

Even a few pharmacies are allowed to run their own business, but they are surprisingly effective. At the end of each month, his master will give them silver taels on time, and they never owe them silver taels.

And his lord is very generous, the silver taels given to them are more than a dozen companions of other people's families, and many people are trying to become the nurses and servants of Liufu.

"What's going on?" Qiao Zisang couldn't help but ask when he saw the invitation card in Cangming's hand.

"The county order has changed, a new one has come, and now people from major families are invited to participate in the calligraphy and painting exchange conference, presumably to show their faces, saying that now this Yuncheng is under his management. Cangming said.

"It's just a mortal, there's no need to give him a face, go to that kind of place and waste time. In Qiao Zisang's eyes, there is only cultivation, and she doesn't even ask about mortal things.

"Pretend to be like a little bit, otherwise it's easy to expose your identity. Anyway, there's nothing going on today, so I'm going to check it out, I've been here for so long, and I haven't had a good walk. This Yuncheng seems to have forgotten our Liufu. Cangming said casually.

"If you like to go, go there, I'll continue to cultivate, by the way, there is also a secret pavilion in this mortal world, find a way to put someone in it." "It's been here for so long, Qiao Zisang remembers this matter.

"Okay, since there is also a branch of the Secret Pavilion here, it is best to control it in your hands. ”

Next, Cangming called Wang Gui, who is now the housekeeper of Liufu.

"Sir, what are you looking for me?" said Wang Gui with his head down.

"Recently, you have made a small move down there and installed a lot of your relatives and friends into the mansion, but is there such a thing?" Cangming's voice was very cold.

"Please also ask the lord to calm his anger, although these people are my relatives and friends, they all abide by the rules and are very serious. Hearing this, Wang Gui broke out in a cold sweat.

didn't expect his small actions to let Cangming know, in case he lost this job, where would he find such a good job.

"I thought you didn't admit it, I won't pursue this matter, they do do things well, there is something for you to do, this matter is very important, I want all my loyal people, if a few restless people are mixed in, don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes. Cangming said.

"I don't know what do you want to do, master?" asked Wang Gui.

"I told you to take in some orphans, the poorer the better, and then raise them to be loyal to the dead of Liufu, you can do this. Cangming said.

"I still need the help of the head of the nursing home in this matter, and I am still not very familiar with cultivating the dead. The butler said.

"You just tell him, money is not a problem, if you need expenses, you can take it from the inventory, and if you don't have enough, ask me. No matter what method you use and how much you invest, I want you to cultivate a group of masters who are at least first-class in the next five years. Cangming said.

"Master, if you want to cultivate a first-class master, at least this number, the silver in our treasury is simply not enough. When the butler heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Spirit stones and pills are not a problem, if you want to kill more, just look for me. As long as the effect works. Cangming said.

"The little one will write a list when the time comes, and then hand it over to you, sir. Wang Gui said.

"If you need as much as you need, just ask me for it, don't be afraid that I don't have any money. This matter is settled, and next, I will go out to the feast, and everything will be business as usual. One more thing, you must keep the secret, don't talk nonsense everywhere, I don't want your corpse to float on the surface of the river. Cangming said directly.

Wang Gui's heart froze, and he nodded directly: "Absolutely no nonsense, please rest assured." ”

Not long after, Cangming came to the painting boat, this painting boat is the most luxurious painting boat in Yuncheng today, it is said that the new county order is the Li family, the Li family is a big family in the capital, the family wealth is thousands, and the status is also very high.

He came here to serve as a county magistrate this time, and he came to gild it completely.

Yuncheng is the most prosperous city in Jiangguo, here, there are countless wealthy families, as long as they show their faces here, they can have the capital to promote to a higher position.

Since then, I have been able to rent the entire painting boat, which can be described as a big deal.

Cangming came to the building, and found a secluded place to sit down, at this time, the new county order was polite with others, this county order was extremely young, only in his twenties.

The dress is also extremely luxurious, and many Qingqi people have skimmed him from time to time, and it is estimated that their hearts are already hot. This time, these Qingqi people were very happy.

Those who can participate in this banquet have the lowest status of a wealthy family, as long as they can please the other party, the other party will redeem them as a concubine, and they will have no worries in this life, and they will have a place to go.

Cangming leaned in the corner, drinking spiritual tea, looking at the night scene on the horizon.

Seeing this scene, Li Xianling couldn't help frowning slightly, as long as he invited them, they would come over to greet him, and this person was sitting there drinking tea alone.

However, he is also a cultivated person, and he does not intend to quarrel with the other party because of this.

At the same time, he was also curious about the identity of the other party, the people of the big family, knowing his identity, in general, would be very respectful, since this person could come, he must also be a member of the big family, why would he not be familiar with other people.

"Brother Wang, who is that?" asked Li Xianling.

"Brother Li, I don't know that person, I've never seen this person in the party before, it should be a member of a small family, it's strange, how did you get mixed up here. "The person who spoke didn't know Cangming.

Cangming also heard these people talking, and didn't pay attention to it, he was reminiscing about the past at this time, he hadn't lived such a mortal life for a long time.

"Let's go see how each other is? Li Xian Ling took Wang Gongzi and slowly walked towards Cangming.

Every step of the way has the charm of nobility.

"Hello, in Xia Nai Wang Huan, I don't know who Brother Tai is? Wang Gongzi asked.

"I'm Liu Feng, this is the order of Li County, it's the invitation you gave me, did Brother Li forget?" Cangming finished speaking, poured two cups of spiritual tea and handed them to the two.

Li Xianling sat down, then clenched his fists and said: "Please forgive Brother Liu, this time it was an invitation from my housekeeper, I don't know too much"

After speaking, he drank the spiritual tea.

After drinking the spiritual tea, I felt that the whole person was warm, and I thought it was poisoned, and my face changed drastically.

"I forgot, this spiritual tea is too effective, and if you drink it, you may have some reactions. Cangming smiled, these spiritual teas, during the foundation building period, will feel that the medicinal effect is very good, don't say that a few of them are just martial artists.

At this time, Li Xianling felt warm all over his body, and he directly broke through to the ranks of first-class masters in one fell swoop, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

This kind of tea must be very expensive, and the other party actually took it out and drank it at will, even if it was his family, it was estimated that there was no such good medicinal effect of the spirit tea.

Therefore, he became respectful of Cangming, and secretly guessed that Cangming might be a disciple of the immortal cultivation family of a certain game Hongchen, since the other party concealed his identity, he just didn't want others to know. He can't tell.

If the other party is really a disciple from the Xiuxian family, a few words at will can make his family disappear into the Jiang Kingdom. Thinking of this, Li Xianling couldn't help but panic in his heart.

The status of this kind of person is too high, and it is not something that one of his direct disciples can access, and now the other party still comes to his banquet, and at the beginning, the other party leaned there and never took him seriously.

At this time, he fully understood the identity of the other party, and being able to come to the party was already a great face for him.

"Brother Liu can come to the party, Li is fortunate to have a third life, it is relatively cold here, why don't you go to the front to enjoy the singing and dancing?"

"No, I can see the moon in the sky just over here, I think it's good. Brother Li should go and entertain the others. Cangming said.

Wang Gongzi didn't know why Li Xianling was so polite, wasn't it a cup of spiritual tea? He just felt that his whole body was comfortable, and it was hot. But even though I thought so, I didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Obviously, there is something greasy in this, and Li County, who was still angry, actually flattered the other party.

"Then Li went to entertain the other brothers first. "Li Xian Ling knows that these immortal cultivators have strange tempers.

For mortals, immortal cultivators are disdainful, so they also know that if they force it, they may harm the other party, so they have to follow the other party's words.

At the beginning of the banquet, many Qingqi people came out to play the piano, and those present were very lively.

"Lord Li, why did that man sit there alone and not come to the table?"

"Liu Gongzi prefers to be quiet, he can't come, and I can't force it, Miss Jian'er has taken a fancy to the other party?"

"Where, I just think that the other party is more outstanding, or the adult is more attractive. Song Jian'er knew how to speak.

Li Xianling's whole face changed, if the other party was so pleasing to him in the past, he would definitely be happy, but now he is suspected of belittling Liu Feng.

"Don't talk nonsense, why don't you go and toast Liu Gongzi?" Li Xianling said directly.

Song Ke'er saw Li Countyling's expression, coupled with these words, she knew that something big had happened, and this lonely person might have a very high status, otherwise Lord Li would not have such an expression.

When Cangming saw the woman coming over, he said directly: "There is no need to be like this, Liu is not a person with a small belly." ”

"Thank you, Childe, regardless of the past suspicions. Song Jian'er breathed a sigh of relief.
