Chapter 22 Settling In

The master and apprentice set off from the south gate into the song, which is the largest city today.

This is the second time Lu Chuan has come to Chaoge, and he doesn't have to be in a hurry, so he can have a good look at this majestic city.

The morning song is huge.

According to his secret estimate in his heart, the high city wall is about 18 meters high, which is almost six zhang when converted into an ancient unit of measurement.

Because the city was so large, there were nine holes in each direction of the city in the shape of one large and two small as gates for people to enter and exit.

The dignitaries and nobles walked in the middle, and the ordinary people walked on both sides.

In front of the city gate, the sergeant checked Lu Chuan's small baggage, and the two of them were let into the city.

In the baggage, only the two coarse cloth clothes that Lu Chuan secretly brought out when he decided to run away from home were not very valuable and luxurious.

The gate is very deep, and it is a little dark to walk in, and the exit is a small glowing hole in front of you.

Walking through this section is like walking through a small tunnel, so it may be a sign of how strong the walls of the city are.

Before he entered the city, Lu Chuan's ears suddenly became lively, and all kinds of shouts and shouts came into his ears.

Lu Chuan couldn't help but raise his head, and then looked at the palace that was located in the center of Chaoge City, and it was also the most luxurious.

But he still couldn't see anything.

Without Shen Gongbao's 'vision' sharing, he could neither see the Yin Shang's national fortune bird, nor the demonic red light.

But this time, there was no need for Shen Gongbao to tell him that Lu Chuan also knew who the demon light in the palace was, except for the nine-tailed fox that was attached to Daji, there was no one else.

However, at this time, Lu Chuan had some doubts in his heart, but it was another thing.

Listening to what Shen Gongbao said just now, the relationship between him and the Yuxu brothers is not very good, but at least it is normal.

On the day of Jiang Ziya's marriage, he also traveled thousands of miles to congratulate him and send congratulatory gifts, and today he was angry that King Xuan burned the sword offered by Yun Zhongzi.

In addition, listening to what he said, he also seemed to know that the Great Tribulation of the Gods was coming.

Since he also knew about the Divine Tribulation, why would he turn his face with the people of the Interpretation Sect in the future and be at odds with Jiang Ziya?

"Strange!"

Lu Chuan muttered secretly, and hurriedly followed the footsteps of Shen Gongbao.

Entertainment in this world is extremely scarce, there are no electronic products, and people's daily routines are completely following the eight words "work at sunrise and rest at sunset".

I go to bed early every night, and I wake up early this morning.

"Master, where are we going?"

After entering the city, Lu Chuan looked east and west, but Shen Gongbao didn't look at this, just strode forward.

"Eat!"

"So Master, are you hungry?" Lu Chuan said with a smile.

"As a teacher, he has already attained the Tao, and he does not eat grains. ?”

After Shen Gongbao finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Chuan's stomach, "Aren't you hungry?"

Lu Chuan hurriedly nodded: "Hungry!"

"Then follow me. ”

Shen Gongbao strode away, Lu Chuan hurriedly followed, and soon, the two came to a restaurant.

There were no tables in the restaurant, they were all long tables, and there were seven or eight guests kneeling on a few cushions, and most of the seats were still empty.

"Dao Chief, what to eat?"

The guy in the store immediately greeted him with a smile and looked at the Taoist robe on Shen Gongbao's body.

Lu Chuan looked at the plates of meat on the tables of other diners and couldn't help swallowing.

Shen Gongbao said: "Two bowls of morning tea, four steamed buns, and two dishes of vegetarian dishes." ”

As he spoke, he sat down on the edge of a desk.

"Okay, Chief, wait a minute, it'll be fine right away. ”

The guy turned and went.

Lu Chuan hurriedly said, "Master, what are you talking about, eating fast?"

"Cultivating the Tao is not only cultivating the body, but also cultivating the mind, you can't even overcome the slightest desire for the tongue, what else is the Tao?"

Shen Gongbao said lightly: "Eating fast at the beginning of your cultivation can help you clear your heart and desires, cut off some complicated thoughts, and better cultivate, understand?"

Lu Chuan said: "I understand." ”

I remember that Jiang Ziya's food in the Song Mansion was fasting, and those who didn't eat under the sect didn't eat, and those who ate were basically eating fasting.

Since it's good for cultivation, then if you don't eat meat, then don't eat it, it seems that he will become a vegetarian in the future, if he can't even do this, then he won't mention what kind of Tao he cultivates to become an immortal.

After eating, Shen Gongbao got up and walked to the counter and asked, "Shopkeeper, inquire, is there any house for sale in this neighborhood?"

"House?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Dao Chief, there is no house for sale, but there is a shop near here that can't be opened and is about to be transferred." ”

"Where?"

The shopkeeper smiled: "It's not far from here, go out and turn left into the seventh room." ”

"Thank you. Shen Gongbao said again: "In addition, how much is the cost of food, you can calculate it, and then settle the account in the poor way!"

The shopkeeper glanced at it and said with a smile: "Two dollars for steamed buns, two dollars for a plate of vegetables, and one dollar for a cup of morning tea, a total of eight yuan." ”

Shen Gongbao nodded, took out eight copper coins from his sleeve and put them on the counter.

Then he turned around and said to Lu Chuan: "Come to me on the left after you finish eating." ”

Lu Chuan was a little surprised, and immediately nodded, watching Shen Gongbao go out and go to the left.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Chuan felt a little strange in his heart, but when he saw that Shen Gongbao had settled the account and left, he was not in a hurry.

"Shopkeeper, what is my master doing?" Lu Chuan asked while eating.

The shopkeeper was in his forties, dressed in brocade clothes, and it could be seen that his family was well-off, and he must be either rich or expensive.

Hearing this, he said, "The Taoist chief just heard if there are any houses for sale here. ”

"What are you buying a house for?"

Lu Chuan was strange, this Shen Gongbao's behavior really made him unpredictable and confused.

Originally, he thought that he was just coming here for two days, but he didn't expect that Shen Gongbao would suddenly want to buy a house, could it be that he was planning to settle down in Chaoge?

After breakfast, Lu Chuan left the restaurant and followed the instructions of the shopkeeper, went out to find six shops on the left, and sure enough, he found Shen Gongbao.

This shop is not very big, it sells handmade wood carvings, and there are a lot of carved knick-knacks on the shelves, birds, beasts, insects and fish.

There is also a small courtyard with three rooms at the back.

When Lu Chuan entered, Shen Gongbao was paying, the boss was a middle-aged man, wearing a cloth shirt, looking very simple, followed by an eight or nine-year-old girl.

Together with these goods, it was finally sold for three hundred taels of silver.

"Wait......"

When Shen Gongbao was about to hand over the silver, he suddenly said when he exchanged it for the title deed in the hands of the boss.

"Dao Chief, we have already discussed the price, you can't regret it anymore. ”

Seeing this, Shen Gongbao handed over the silver, exchanged it for the title deed, and said with a smile: "It's not that I regret it, it's just that from now on, we will pay off the money and goods." ”

"Good!"

The boss nodded, and led his daughter away quickly, because he was going to transfer, so he had already cleaned up.

The two watched their father and daughter leave, and Lu Chuan said, "Master, what are you buying this shop for?"

"Being a teacher has its own role, you will know it in the future, and from today onwards we will settle down in this Chaoge. ”

Shen Gongbao said: "Next, the teacher will teach you the art of war, martial arts, and Taoism, you must study hard to prepare for the future......"

"The Art of War?

Lu Chuan said: "Master, it's okay to learn martial arts and Taoism, but isn't this art of war used to lead soldiers to fight, what am I learning to do?"

"If you are told to learn, you will learn. ”
