Gao Qiangu's face was a little ugly at this time, first, the injury on his arm has been difficult to recover, and second, Su Dian and Wu Xiluan have fallen, Liao Shuguang in front of him and Jiang Chengzi who fled back are not lightly injured, only Hua Jianji and Lian Xifeng, who was later found and brought back by Hua Jianji, are still two good people.

Thinking that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, even Xifeng had never fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the losses were acceptable, his mood was a little better, but he still asked with a calm face: "How did Vientiane Gate know about our stronghold in the Gassho Village?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one answered, only Jiang Chengzi said: "Could it be that Su Dian was disobedient and went out to swagger and was recognized?"

Gao Qiangu said: "The guy who is innocent of death, don't mention this first." Old Five, what is the current situation of caring for Deguan Dazun, and when was the last time you saw him?"

Lian Xifeng, who had been completely controlled by Zhang Fei, bowed down and replied: "Guan Lao took the opportunity to deliver food to help me loosen the ban, and I haven't seen him since then." Elder Gao, what should we do next?

Gao Qiangu glared at him: "You shouldn't know less about asking, it's not to save you, how can there be so many things." ”

Then he said: "Fortunately, this time, the eighth child gave his strength and made up for the fault of the lost soul of Guan Dazun in Yuehe Town, so my journey was quite smooth." Zongli originally thought that Guan Dazun's whereabouts were unknown, and there were many auspicious people, but he didn't expect that he was possessed by Tenglin and happened to follow the team. ”

"Although Teng Lin is only a peripheral disciple, he always has buried a secret stake, and Vientiane Gate has no reason to detect this, so let's not risk contacting him here, and wait for him to return to Yuehe Town. In this way, I and Lao Wu, Lao Ba, and Jiang Worship left overnight through the teleportation array of the mountain pass stronghold, and the flower offerings to you stayed. ”

"Your mission is to monitor the Vientiane Gate and his party, and to further confirm the safety of Guan Dazun, and after they leave Wulan Mountain, you will wait for the next order in the mountain pass stronghold. Remember, don't overdo it. ”

After the arrangement was completed, except for the flower set, the others left in a hurry.

Let's say that early the next morning, after Mu Qitian sent Teng Zhen back to Yuehe Town on his own, the people of Vientiane Gate marched towards the middle of Wulan Mountain, and Teng Lin, who had been puppeteered, also sat on his horse and accompanied him. There were no words along the way, and in the evening of the same day, they came to a junction close to the former site of the Wulan Yunxian Sect.

According to Teng Lin's previous introduction, the former site of the Wulan Yunxian Sect is located on the main peak in the central part of the country, and the Wulan Mountain Range is not high on the whole, but the main peak is towering and straight into the sky, and it is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round.

The main peak is connected to the outside by a steep mountain road, which is narrow and sloping to both sides, commonly known as the back of the crucian carp. In addition to this road, there are thousands of abysses that are sad for the birds all around, even if the strong people of the reincarnation realm are fine, they will not spend their energy flying through the void, so those who go up to the peak will first go to the back foot of the crucian carp to rest.

When everyone came to the intersection not far from the foot of the mountain, they saw Shang Chenxi and two young men, a man and a woman, already waiting here.

Shang Chenxi greeted him with a smile and said, "Hello everyone, we entered the mountain from the northern mountain pass, and the journey went smoothly, and after receiving the transmission from the Yuanjia Daoist, we will come over to meet you here first." Let me introduce, these two are my eldest brother's son Shang Jinshu, and the other is Nangong Bupian, a son of the side of the family, and the two of you have come to see the uncles and disciples of the new generation of Vientiane Gate. ”

The two of them came over to greet the people. Shang Jinshu is slightly fat and short, with a smiling and angry appearance, very thoughtful, quite the demeanor of everyone's children, and Nangong Bupian is tall, although he is not very beautiful, but his eyes are smart as if he can speak, and speaking out also makes people feel like a spring breeze.

After introducing them separately, Zhou Xi saw that there were tea stalls on the side of the road, so he beckoned everyone to sit down and rest. Mu Qitian gave Shang Chenxi a general introduction to what happened on the way, and the young people on the other side sat together and chatted.

Lin Xian was shocked to inquire about the situation first every time he went to a place, took a sip of tea and asked the uncle who poured water: "Uncle, why are you setting up a stall here? Doesn't it mean that the crucian carp is the only place to go up the peak? There should be the most people." ”

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Young man, I also know that business at the foot of the mountain is good, but there is no way." After there is no spiritual vein in this mountain, there are only two small Xiuzhen sects left, which control the business here, and it is rare that there are many people entering the mountain for a while, and we ordinary people are not allowed to approach. ”

Yi Liunian listened to it and said, "Can cultivators bully people? What are the two sects?"

The old man said: "It's not bullying, in fact, it's okay, they usually exchange prices with us in the mountains, but now there are many people, and natural fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders." One of them is called the Zhulian Gang, and the other is called Bikezhai, I heard that they are only third- and fourth-rate sects in the cultivation world, but we can't afford to mess with them. ”

After chatting for a while, everyone was about to get up and move forward, only to hear Zhou Xi say: "Now that there are many of us, let's disperse them, so as not to attract people's attention." ”

Mu Qiwei asked, "How to distribute it?"

Zhou Xi smiled and said: "You look at it, I am responsible for the direction decision-making, and you are responsible for the implementation." ”

Mu Qiwan pondered for a while and said to everyone: "That's good, Lan Ting, Xianjing, and Liunian The three of you follow Second Master Shang first, I will take the two merchants and Teng Lin, Yiyun and the four female disciples together, and Zhuge will accompany Elder Zhou and Elder Xin to stay." ”

The distance was not far, and Shang Chenxi and the four of them quickly walked to the foot of the crucian carp's back with the flow of people.

It's really lively here, the back of the crucian carp is rarely patronized, now there are temporary wooden houses on both sides of the mountain road, and there are even tents, people come and go noisy, and there are more than 100 people who can be seen, most of them are idle cultivators who are waiting for the winter solstice to try their luck on the peak.

Before he walked in, there were two guys who rushed over to pull business, this said that the wooden house of the Zhulian Gang was large and comfortable, and only 500 spirit stones a night, and the other said that the tent of Bike Village was windproof and snow-resistant, and 400 spirit stones were also in charge of food.

Mu Qiwan waved his hand and said later. He stood aside and watched for a while, and then walked into the mountain road with the three of them.

It seems that this place is already a small market, there are people who sell daily goods, some who shout about mountain specialties, some who sell weapons and equipment, and even those who gather to gamble.

Everyone also saw that Bi Ke Zhai was selling a kind of elixir, saying that it was made of lotus seeds unique to the main peak, which could resist the poison of the miasma on the mountain, and the Zhulian Gang pushed a telescope made of the main peak of green bamboo, which is said to make people see farther and clearer in the clouds.

led the three of them around, Shang Chenxi only looked at and didn't speak, then stopped and turned his head and asked, "Did the three of you see anything?"

Yi Liunian said: "It's very lively, after a few days of walking, I finally won't be lonely, I can play a trick later." ”

Lin Xian was shocked: "The personnel are very mixed, there are people who are alone and in groups, but there is still order, and I don't see any fights and troubles." ”

Hua Lanting thought for a while and said, "You always want to talk about the business atmosphere here, although there are only two or three hundred people, they all support a market." The merchant is a giant in the Xiuzhen business world, I would like to ask what is business?"

Shang Chenxi laughed: "Well said, it's a wonderful question." But let me correct it first, I don't have a lot of beard, it's good to call me Second Uncle Shang. When it comes to business, I really can't say a sentence or two, I have four words, I'll give it to you first. With that, he continued to walk forward.

The three of them followed, and Yi Liunian muttered in a low voice: "It's four words again, I've been competing with four recently, and it's so unlucky." ”

Hua Lanting heard the words and replied: "Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense, four four wishes, four happiness, four happiness, what do you know about being illiterate." ”

Lin Xian was shocked and said to him: "Go and go, Lan Ting is right, four or four get eight, send a hair, how can you know these things." ”

Yi Liunian rolled his eyes: "Yes, yes, yes, okay." The God of Wealth, the God of Wealth, Guan Gong, the God of Martial Wealth, Zhao Gongming, the Black Tiger Xuantan, the God of Wealth of the Five Roads, Xiao Sheng, the God of Fortune, Cao Bao, the God of Wealth, Chen Jiugong, the Messenger of Fortune, and Yao Shaosi, the immortal official of Lishi, bless me Yi Liunian with equipment all over the body, hanging all over the body, killing the enemy over the level, and invincible. ”

Hua Lanting was taken aback: "Wealth fan." Lin Xian was shocked: "Heart." ”

Yi Liunian said proudly: "Accident, the folk god of wealth is mostly awarded to me Taoism, I have seen it in the school palace, the so-called one in all directions, there are many more." Alas, life is difficult, how can you solve your worries, only to get rich. ”

At this time, Shang Chenxi continued in front: "These four words are, nothing, non, human, and sexual. ”

"Yes, business – it's not human. ”

"What is human nature is really complicated, I think Lao Mu asked you to follow me, it should be that I want to open up to you, so I will have a simple first lesson today. ”

"Business is nothing but human nature. The first rule of human nature - people are the most serious when they play. When we were children, we played games for fun, played mahjong when we were older, and played when we were reading and singing if we were really hobbies and there was no pressure to take exams. ”

"People are the most serious, dedicated, and easy to ignore when they play, so a business that can make people addicted is good business. You see, most of the gamblers who gather to gamble have forgotten the concept of quantity, and at this moment these people have the best money to make and it will last for a long time. ”

"Business is nothing more than human nature, and the second rule - it is human nature to love to take advantage of small advantages. Have you noticed, the two guys we met kept lobbying for people who entered the mountain, and the prices they said were different from those of each group, but they all had a gap and various discounts, and the local tyrants generally did not come here, they just attracted people who were greedy for cheap to make a choice. ”

"Business is nothing but human nature, and the third rule is that scarcity is expensive. Five hundred spirit stones a day, I will hehe, it is the price of a luxury suite outside the mountain, but you don't have a choice here, unless you are strong, but the great power will rarely come here to Taobao, and although the general cultivator is aggressive, but it is not easy to fight with the snake for a room, and you can also bargain. ”

"The fourth is the relationship between human nature and supply and demand. Supply can meet demand, and supply can create demand. ”

"Eating and drinking, lazar, martial arts, and mountain specialties, these are the needs that the cultivators themselves continue to have and come to this place, and they provide them to meet you, and the miasma avoidance pill and the telescope, outsiders may not know these and may not necessarily need them, and it is difficult to say how useful they are, but it does not prevent them from being made to seduce you to buy them, and the price is still set by them, and when they find that they are useless, they have already paid anyway, don't you say?"

"In the end, it's better to be alone than to be happy. It is naturally good for a monopoly market to be monopolized, but if it is unrealistic, it is better to cooperate and encroach on it. ”

"I don't know the specifics of these two gangs, but as far as I can see, the two seem to be fighting openly and secretly, but in fact they are wearing a pair of pants, and they take all the business and profits through division of labor and cooperative pricing. “

"Hehe, Zhulian Gang and Bike Village, maybe they each occupy the resources of Cuizhu and Bihe, maybe they are - Zhulian Bike, they are a perfect combination, and they make a fortune together. ”

"In addition, according to the information obtained by our merchants, the name of the overlord of Wulan Mountain, who is also the boss behind the scenes, is called Niu Kelian. It seems that this person is also a wonderful person. ”
