Chapter 457: The Female Shopkeeper
It is said to be a thing, but it is actually a hanging portrait of a landscape, like the size of a door, and inside is a shopkeeper.
This landscape portrait is very unusual, the smoke of the Cangshan Mountain, the green cypress and green pine, the artistic conception is excellent, there are also some people around, some stop and watch, some simply sit up on the ground, it seems to get some understanding from this portrait.
The reason why Di Renjie was able to notice it was actually because this portrait did have a feeling that people fell into, a sense of vastness, and a sense of evergreenness.
There are some practitioners who are able to incorporate their own spiritual thoughts and thoughts into poetry and painting, and it is obvious that this painting has achieved this realm, but they don't know who the owner of this shop is.
Di Renjie walked into the store, this store buys and sells, mostly some pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the price is expensive, it seems that the store is making a living from this, but this store also accepts disciples, but only one a year, and there are rules, no matter how well you study after a year, you will end this teaching journey, the so-called 'master leads the door, practice in the individual'.
However, the cost of accepting disciples in this store is really expensive, it actually costs a thousand spirit stones, and it only teaches for a year, and it is not taught every day, and it is taught twice a month.
"Wow, what kind of person is this shop? A thousand spirit stones are taught for a year, and they are only instructed twice a month, so in fact, there are only twenty-four times a year, and a fool will learn this." "Someone also saw the rules of this store to accept apprentices, and even complained about it.
To be honest, Di Renjie also felt that the apprenticeship fee of this store was too expensive, but he thought that if the other party was just to earn spirit stones, there was no need to recruit only one a year, right?
"This store has just been open here for less than five days, I don't know who is behind it, but since the other party has such a heart, I think it should be a little strong, in the past few days, it is said that many people have been able to break through the cultivation of this portrait outside the door, which is very unusual. β
"Well, I inquired, although the cost of accepting apprentices in this shop is expensive, but it is said that the owner of the shop is an ordinary person, who has no cultivation, but he has a deep knowledge in painting, and it is just a matter of whether he wants to practice or not, but the other party obviously has no intention of wasting time on cultivation. β
"There are still such people? Others can make a breakthrough by looking at the portrait, but if the store paints the painting itself, wouldn't it be easier to break through?"
"Logically so, but I don't know, but it's clear that this portrait has some benefits for a breakthrough, and it's okay for you to doubt and doubt here, there are already many people who have made a breakthrough because of this portrait, and you don't know if you need it one day. β
"Hmm...... Listening to you say this, this shopkeeper seems to really have some way, I do plan to break through these days, but I am not ready for everything, so let's wait for two days to come to observe carefully, good guy, if it really works, then this shopkeeper doesn't everyone want to worship him as a teacher? There is only one this year, which is not enough at all. β
"So, I heard that the disciple shops in the last three years have already been accepted, and I don't plan to do it for the time being, and we won't continue to recruit disciples until three years later, so we don't have this opportunity for the time being. β
"Is this a fool?"
"Do you think the person who can get a thousand spirit stones will be a fool? I'm not afraid to tell you, and one of them is the son of the marshal of our Southern Holy Land, and the others are fools, do you think the son of the marshal will be a fool? β
......
Di Renjie listened to these people chatting on the side, and was also observing the landscape painting that also brought him a little strange feeling, I have to say that this painting is indeed not ordinary, and he also got some understanding from it, but it is difficult to talk about it in detail, this store really has a lot of effort.
"It's interesting, it's still a person who has never cultivated, if this person goes to practice, I'm afraid that his cultivation will be higher than that of everyone present, but I don't know why. "It is difficult for Di Renjie to imagine that people in this world can practice but do not practice, you must know that cultivation can live longer, just this point, even the most indifferent people in the world, I am afraid they will not be able to resist this temptation, and the other party can indeed practice but not practice, this realm, really can paint this landscape painting.
Di Renjie has reason to believe that this landscape painting is probably just a clumsy work of the shopkeeper, and the real essence must not be displayed, but even if it is a clumsy work for the shopkeeper, it is already difficult for them to understand it for laymen.
"The sons of the marshal have come to observe and become his disciples, and they do not know who this shopkeeper is. Di Renjie is also very interested, the pen, ink, paper and inkstones in the store are very expensive, but there is no doubt that all of them are of the highest quality, and even some of them, Di Renjie even feels that the price is a little low, these pen, ink and paper inkstones are obviously made by the store itself, but they are all extraordinary.
"It's amazing that a person who doesn't practice can make something that is not like an ordinary thing. Di Renjie sighed slightly.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door, and someone shouted, "The store is here." β
Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, and then looked out of the door, and sure enough, he saw a white figure, as if coming from afar, curling Nana, with a light veil, beautiful as a fairy, but there was no cultivation.
Di Renjie didn't expect this, because the landscape painting was quite vigorous and ancient, he thought it would be painted by a man, but he didn't expect it to be a woman.
The woman glanced at Di Renjie in the store lightly, but for a moment, Di Renjie felt that his whole body had been seen through, and he couldn't help but have a sense of urgency, but the other party just glanced at him, and then stepped into the back door of the store and disappeared in front of everyone.
Someone immediately sighed: "It's not ordinary, it's not ordinary, I always thought it was a deceptive store before, but after seeing that store, I was already convinced." β
Di Renjie noticed that this street was actually full of people, obviously, the appearance of the shopkeeper woman attracted the attention of the people on this street, you must know, these people are all cultivators, ordinary people who can attract the attention of cultivators, can it be ordinary people? Although Di Renjie did not feel the slightest cultivation from the woman, he felt that this woman could definitely not be an ordinary person.
At this moment, there was another commotion.
"I heard that Master Gu is back, and I came here to do so. A faint voice sounded outside the door, it was a man, handsome and dashing, holding a feather fan.
"It's Meng Gongzi, he actually came. β
"Didn't someone say just now that he was also a disciple of this shop? I thought it was fake, but I didn't expect it to be true, this shop is so powerful that it can make the son of the Marshal of the Holy Land her disciple. β
"I have already said that this shopkeeper is not ordinary, can an ordinary ordinary person attract the attention of so many cultivators? Don't look at her without cultivation, in my opinion, everyone present will not be her opponent. β
"It's hard to say this, and don't compare it like this, the maids next to her give me the feeling that it is unfathomable, only the Hechen Realm gives me this feeling, there are a few Hechen Realm to protect, do you think it will be ordinary people?"
The surname of the person who came, called Meng Ming, is the son of Marshal Meng, one of the four generalissimos of the Southern Holy Land, who has lived in Guangyuan County for a long time, and is one of the highest status people in the entire county town, but what I didn't expect is that this person is actually a disciple of this portrait shop, and everyone is more interested in this shop.
Di Renjie was also a little shocked in his heart, especially the four maids beside the woman just now, each of them gave him a very oppressive feeling, Qingxi Realm would not be like this for him, only the Hechen Realm had this strength, and this woman actually had four Hechen Realm around her to protect her, who was this woman?
Di Renjie knew that the identity of this woman must not be simple, don't look at her as just an ordinary person, without any cultivation, but there are some families whose cultivation methods are different from ordinary cultivators, and they are not in a hurry to break through, but work their state of mind, so that they can go further in the future.
And this path, not some big families can not do, because this is actually very risky, the benefits of practicing since childhood needless to say, because the later it is, the more difficult it is to cultivate, ordinary practitioners will not take such a risk, moreover, the feeling of this woman's painting is also extraordinary, saying that this woman is an ordinary person, everyone present will not believe it.
And just when Meng Gongzi wanted to step into the back door of this store, the two maids guarding the door stood up and said coldly: "Miss is not a guest today." β
Meng Gongzi was slightly stunned, and the guards next to him frowned a little, who is his son? Even if he went to the imperial city, he was a person with a very high status, but these guards also knew that these two maids were not ordinary, so they didn't dare to be angry, but they just felt that their faces were a little unsightly.
But Meng Gongzi smiled bitterly: "Since that's the case, then let's go." β
Actually, he has been waiting for many days, but there is no way, the other party doesn't want to see him, what can he do?
However, he left like this, but everyone present was shocked, this Meng Ming is the son of the marshal, can't even he see the shopkeeper?
After a while, this Meng Gongzi left in a chic manner, but the figure looked chic, but he was a little helpless in his heart, which even some people present could see that the faΓ§ade of this store was really big enough.
In this way, everyone's interest in it is even higher, and among these people, Di Renjie naturally also includes.
However, interest is interest, and Di Renjie also knows that even the marshal's son can't see this woman, and it's even more impossible for them, ordinary cultivators.
"This woman, is it a person who is even higher? If not, how can he be virtuous?"
"I don't know, but I think it's better not to speculate, no matter who it is, it's definitely not someone we can afford to offend anyway. β
Some people are still talking about it, this store has only been open for a few days, but it has already attracted the attention of many people.
And at this moment, when Di Renjie was just about to leave, a maid guarding the back door walked not far from him, and said in a low voice: "Miss wants to see you." β
Di Renjie was surprised, at this time, the people watching the excitement had almost dispersed, and he didn't know the chat between the maid and Di Renjie, Di Renjie was a group and said, "See me? Why?"
He really couldn't understand why the other party wanted to see him, it was supposed to be something that shouldn't have happened, but now it did happen.
The maid continued, "Go in the back door, and don't get noticed. β
In fact, not to mention Di Renjie, even the maid was surprised, this guy from the Weichi Realm, what does the young lady want to see him do? But the order has already been passed, and she is just responsible for obeying the order.
Although Di Renjie didn't understand why the other party wanted to see him, he felt that things must not be simple, and it didn't hurt to meet.
Then, he found a time when no one was looking, and entered the back door.
A maid showed him the way in front, and after a while, he came to a private room, and when he opened the door, Di Renjie saw the female shopkeeper.
It's just that at this time, the female shopkeeper turned her back to him, and after Di Renjie stepped into the door, the female shopkeeper asked lightly: "Dare to ask where this friend is taught?"
She is very straight to the point, but her tone is a little soft, but it also gives people a feeling of spring breeze.
Di Renjie didn't expect the other party to ask such a question as soon as he came, and he knew that it would definitely not be an ordinary thing for the other party to suddenly call him in, so he probably noticed something on his body and was interested.
However, the other party asked this teacher, it was really a bit troublesome, according to his own way of walking in Shannanguo, he had already thought about the sloppy Taoist teacher, now do you still take this as an example?
After thinking about it, Di Renjie felt that it was better to look at it like this, so he said: "Master is a sloppy Taoist, and he has gone immortal in the early years. β
The general meaning of immortal is to be dead.
The female shopkeeper still had her back to Di Renjie, which was actually a bit rude, but Di Renjie also knew that now was not the time to discuss this.
She was silent for a while, "Sloppy Taoist, you deceive me?"
Obviously, the female shopkeeper felt that there was no such thing as a so-called sloppy Taoist, so she directly said that Di Renjie had deceived her.
Di Renjie touched his nose and thought to himself, even if he deceived you, what would he do? This kind of thing should not be asked in front of others, how many of them will answer you seriously?
His thoughts are also true, and ordinary people will not easily say where they are taught, after all, in that case, it will be easy for the opponent to detect the way to deal with him, so Di Renjie felt that the other party was impolite, so he would ask such a question, but he didn't answer, that was his freedom.
The female shopkeeper also seemed to notice something inappropriate, so she said: "I'm just curious, I shouldn't ask you such a question as soon as I come, Xiaoqing, serve tea to this friend." β
At this time, the female shopkeeper also turned around, still wearing a light veil, with a refined temperament, and said with a faint smile: "I'm just curious that you actually have water and fire in your body, which is not something that ordinary people can do, even if I ...... I've only heard of it in rumors, and you're just in the Micro Pond Realm, which makes me even more interested. β
Di Renjie was taken aback, the other party could actually sense the two systems of water and fire in his body?!
