Chapter 14;
Traveling all the way, Zhang Heng soon came to the most prosperous neighborhood in the imperial capital, there is a huge attic carved with dragons and phoenixes in the middle of the block, and there are two huge pure golden lions at the door, shining in the sunlight, and the white marble paved stairs are not clean, and people come and go.
Even Zhang Heng, who has been accustomed to visual impact recently, couldn't help but light up and down, looking up and down, he felt that this place was two words "wealthy", and he sighed twice and stepped into here, but he couldn't forget the main task of coming today, to find the largest business to sell his elaborate floating clouds.
"Hello sir, do you want to buy something or sell something?" As soon as I entered the door, a woman dressed in fancy clothes greeted me and asked with a smile.
Zhang Heng was always admonishing Cao Dade, so he pretended to be reserved, looked around and said, "Sell things"
The maid's eyes lit up, and she immediately beckoned and said, "Follow me, sir." Then he twisted Feng Buttocks to lead the way in front, which made Zhang Heng quite embarrassed, not looking, not looking.
After staying in a private room, Zhang Hate was led in, and before he could identify it, tea and other fruits had already been served, which couldn't help but make people sigh that this was really in place.
"Sir, please wait a moment, our steward will come over immediately" The maid Ying Ying smiled, and stood beside her, and after a while, the door of the box opened again, and a huge fat man came in, and only half of his body came in and let out a hearty laugh, "Welcome to this brother to come as a guest, the contemptible man is the steward here, and the brother may as well take out what he wants to sell for the contemptible person to identify." ”
Zhang Heng didn't squirm, just threw the package around his waist on the table, and then took the teacup and drank it all, letting the girl behind him cover her mouth and chuckle.
The fat man opened the medicine bag inside, his eyes lit up, he put the medicine powder on his hand and rubbed it carefully, then sniffed it lightly on the tip of his nose, and said, "Don't tell your Excellency, my mercenary customers account for a large part of the mercenaries here, and your medicine powder is just right, but I don't know what the price in your heart is?"
Zhang Heng came in just now and observed, and saw that most of the people inside were more evil, and at first glance, they were people who licked blood at the knife all year round, but this kind of medicine powder was attached to the interests of the Shang Pavilion, but he was not stupid, and he would not take the initiative to make an offer, so he said, "Your Excellency, you might as well help me see how much is the right price?"
Seeing that Zhang Heng was not fooled, the fat man also laughed, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes, Zhang Heng's appearance was wearing makeup at a glance, and looking at his age, it was obviously not very shrewd, and he was quite shrewd when he thought about it, and then said after a deep sigh, "One hundred taels per pack, how much Your Excellency wants." ”
Zhang Heng did not doubt the strength of the Shang Pavilion, even if it was just the two lions at the door, he didn't know that there were tens of thousands of gold coins, but Cao Dade said that this could be sold for a gold coin, and a gold coin was equivalent to a thousand taels of silver.
Zhang Heng shook his head, chuckled and said, "The shopkeeper should not bully me young, the effect of this medicine powder, I believe that the shopkeeper is also an understanding person, let me say it bluntly, if the price you give is good, I will always supply it to Guige, and if I leave here in the future, even if it is a prescription, it is not impossible to sell it to Guige." ”
Hearing the prescription, the fat steward was obviously stunned, and the alchemist looked at the prescription more than his life, but he didn't expect that someone would say that the prescription would be sold to them.
But he didn't easily believe what Zhang Heng said, but continued, "Little brother is also an understanding person, I believe I also inquired about the market price of this medicine powder before I came, let me say it directly, if you supply one pound of medicine powder every month in the future, I can give you 10,000 taels of gold coins, if it is more than one pound, I will make it up to you according to the ratio of one point and five?"
I silently calculated it in my heart, and found that it was five hundred taels of silver more right than what Cao Dade said, and I couldn't help but feel that I was still too tender, but I was content and happy, so I nodded and agreed.
After the two finalized, they continued to chat, "Little brother, let me introduce myself first, I am Li Yuan, the chief steward of the Shang Pavilion in the Wind Country, you can call me Steward Li or Li Fatzi, I have been stationed here in the imperial capital, if there is anything you need help with in the future, little brother can come to me,"
Zhang Heng also introduced himself, but his name was indeed Cao Dade's, and then he clasped his fists and saluted, and as a deposit, this Steward Li also gave Zhang Heng a hundred gold coins.
Holding the heavy gold coin bag in his hand, he walked out quietly, until he was a little farther away, and then he grinned and began to laugh, after all, a hundred gold coins, it was the first time he had seen so many gold coins.
happily took a bag of gold coins and rushed back to the Tianshen Academy, bouncing like a fool along the way, and when he returned to the dormitory, he threw the gold coin bag to Cao Dade, who had woken up and was lying on the bed.
"Hey, that's good. The one who doesn't open his eyes gives you so much money?" Cao Dade said with a glance.
Zhang Heng, who was originally in a good mood, only rolled his eyes when he was choked by Cao Dade's words, and grabbed the money bag before saying, "Shangge, didn't you say to find the biggest merchant." ”
Cao Dade hummed, and then asked as if he had reacted, "Are you sure it's Shang Ge?"
Zhang Heng nodded, not understanding why Cao Dade used such a look.
"You're a real cow, and you still go to the merchant pavilion to sell your little things, but fortunately I didn't go with you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford to lose this person. Seeing Zhang Heng's sure answer, Cao Dade said with a strange expression. Then he paused, "You go and listen to the class, after all, you have been here for a few days, and you should also go to the system to understand what a monk is, and by the way, increase your knowledge of the lonely and unheard." ”
Zhang Heng nodded, he hadn't been to the lecture for a few days, but he was really a little unreasonable, so he immediately changed into college clothes and rushed to an open-air square before, there were already many people sitting on the field at this moment, Zhang Heng found a place to sit cross-legged in the back, and listened to the discussions around him to know that today is about the three realms of transcendence, and it is also the basic realm of the monk's introductory cultivation.
A moment later, surrounded by a group of students, a long-haired old man floated in, with a decent gray robe, coupled with a resolute face, and a powerful aura that he carried, making the square that was full of people before be heard in a moment.
The old man walked up to the podium and coughed before he said slowly, "Let me introduce to you, the old man Chu Yunfei is the instructor who explains the exercises, and you can call me Elder Chu or Mentor in the future." ”
"Today, I will mainly explain what a monk is, and the three realms of transcendence for monks to enter. As the name suggests, a monk is a cultivator, and in order to gain immortality, a person obtains incredible abilities through various means, and is a monk. What do you want to ask?"
After the words fell, the students in the audience looked at each other, and after a while, one of the students raised his hand and said, "Mentor, what do you mean by all kinds of means? Is it your own cultivation, or is it constantly stealing resources, or is it going to block the road and shoot, killing people and stealing goods?"
The old man was not annoyed by this sharp question, and even looked at the student with appreciation and said, "People's hearts are divided into good and evil, and the means are not divided between good and evil, just like if you designed and attacked a monk who was full of evil in one fell swoop, and the resources in the monk's hands were obtained by you, and you gained more powerful power, then let me ask you, are you for that person's cultivation resources, or for him not to do evil in the future?"
The student froze, not knowing what to answer.
Then Elder Chu continued, "The same is true for all of you, cultivation is not to blindly acquire great power, so that you are proud of having great power, but you have great power but can control him, this is cultivation, and cultivation is also heart cultivation. ”
"The means are not important, but the important things in your heart, why do you do evil, and why do you do good?"
Zhang Heng was also thinking, he had never considered this kind of question before, why did the five people in Qingyang Village hunt down Xu Ruyan, and why did they slaughter innocent villagers?
couldn't think of an answer, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and continued to listen to Elder Chu on the stage talk eloquently, speaking and behaving appropriately, and the name between the words made many students feel like they had been empowered.
There are many things that he has not been exposed to, and he is hungry to absorb this knowledge and constantly enrich himself.
Time passed inadvertently, and then Elder Chu got up and left, leaving only the students in the audience to confirm what they had learned.
Zhang Heng also participated, but unfortunately he didn't know much, basically he didn't listen much, and he continued to understand, especially the understanding of the three realms of deterranean, which was greatly deepened.
So much so that as soon as he returned to the dormitory, he didn't even have time to say hello to Cao Dade and meditated cross-legged, according to what he understood, he used his vitality to wash the flesh and blood according to the meridians, and sure enough, the effect was much better than the previous tough inch-by-inch washing, and if he continued like this, he could basically sprint to the third layer realm in a month.
"The harvest is great?" Cao Dade asked as soon as he opened his eyes.
Zhang Heng nodded, with an excited look on his face, "The harvest is too great, I used to cultivate by myself, and I used to wash it with my vitality, but now the effect is much better according to the meridian pulse, and it is not so painful." ”
Cao Dade sneered, "Often the stupidest way is the most suitable way, you must know that you are only a monk entry realm now, and constantly washing your flesh and blood with your vitality is to lay the foundation for your future path, meridian strengthening is not impossible, but it is best to use this method when you enter the one-yuan realm." ”
Zhang Heng hesitated, "But that's not what the mentor said"
In the academy, your purpose is not to improve your strength, but to absorb the knowledge of the monks, to understand the world of the monks, to increase your experience, and to change your mentality. Cao Dade said loudly.
Zhang Heng couldn't understand it now, but she knew that Cao Dade would not harm him, so she hesitated a little before giving up this method, and now in retrospect, his physical body was indeed more powerful than other people in the same realm, as can be seen from the entry.
"Okay, you can cultivate well, and go to the Desolate Beast Forest to practice after a while. Cao Dade turned around, lay on the bed and looked at a Fengguo magazine, and said slowly.
