Volume 1 Broken Bamboo Chapter 34 A pair of tiger people in Juluzhou
After waiting for the rain to fall, he cut off a rainbow, and then flew to the sky at dusk and cut a piece of burning clouds, kneaded the two together, and made a very beautiful cloud. So neither of them had Edgeworth, but carried the clouds to the south, and did not deliberately hide it.
Along the way, there were too many people who saw this colorful cloud. When ordinary people saw it, they would think that it was a blessing from heaven, and hurriedly folded their hands and made a wish very devoutly. And ordinary monks don't notice the abnormality, and they only take it as a scenery worth seeing. As for those monks who have the ability to see strange things, they will jump to their feet and scold their mother, not his mother's, but my mother's. It's not that I'm scolding the monk who is doing this cloud, but I'm scolding myself, why didn't I think of such a good way.
Seeing the excitement below, Liqiushui put away the clouds, pulled Zhang Muliu to the ground in an instant. There are no aisles of houses, all wasteland, and it looks like it is only in the past few days that the land has been trampled solidly. There are monks here, and no one is surprised that someone has fallen from the sky. Most of them glanced at each other, and then went their separate ways. The two swordsmen in the foundation building period can't be provoked by the Jindan realm
Zhang Muliu was a little curious, there was no chance here, and there were no rare things, why were so many monks gathered here?
So he walked to an open-air liquor shop, which might be more appropriately called a wine stall. It's just a few pieces of wood, each with a corner supporting a piece of canvas. There were seven tables set up in it, and on the side were the shopkeeper's businessmen, a square table with four corners, and a circle of wine jars. But there is a case board, which looks like a cucumber or something.
Zhang Muliu and Liqiushui went to a table where no one was, and after asking for a pot of wine, he asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper, why are there so many people here? Could it be that you are looking for some treasure?"
The shopkeeper looked at Ben Sixty, a monk in the Qi refining period, and said with a smile while bringing the wine over: "They're all looking for something, but it's not a treasure." They were found by the lord of the mountain. Said that he was drunk a few days ago, and when he returned to the mountain, he lost the love token given by his wife, and he only remembered that he was in this place, and he had to be busy with the mountain, so he hired some people to look for it. He said that if he found it, he would give him a spirit jade square hole money!"
A man and a woman glanced at each other, their faces were very strange, there is nothing strange in this world! Not to mention that the love token can be lost, just this posture of finding things for money, at first glance, it is a big family.
So the young man with the sword on his back asked, "Is the owner of that mountain with a mountain very rich?"
The old shopkeeper laughed when he heard this, and the monk sitting next to him also laughed. Among them, a middle-aged Qi Refining Cultivator said, "In the past few years, there was indeed wealth, and the total number of disciples on the mountain must be one hundred and ten. But I don't know how to do it in the past two years, this mountain lord owes a lot of debts, and the people on the mountain have long been gone, and now only a young man named Liu Gong is left to follow him, and then there is the mountain owner's wife. β
Someone on the side accosted him: "That Liu boy is really poor, he has to owe money when he drinks in Zhidong City, and no one is willing to give him wine over time." β
The old shopkeeper continued: "What I can see now is the Jindan realm of the mountain lord and the mountain lord's wife. Even the mountain of Youshe, although it is very large and has a strong aura, is dilapidated. Some people laughed at him, he didn't need money for the draft on the mountain, otherwise the mountain owner would even sell the mountain. β
The middle-aged monk who spoke earlier said again: "Don't say it, he really planned to sell the mountain these days, and now he is asking someone to find a family." β
While he was sleeping, a young man came and looked sloppy. The hair was messily draped at random, the upper body gown was also buttoned disorderly, a pair of gray cloth shoes were not worn well, and the heels were not lifted up, and there was a sound when I walked.
Zhang Muliu looked at this kid in the foundation building period, and almost couldn't help but go up to recognize his brother. Isn't this the time to live on your own?
Li Qiushui sneered and looked at Zhang Muliu, even if she didn't speak, Zhang Muliu knew that she wanted to say something now:
"Look, I really didn't expect that there are people in this world who are sloppier than you. β
Zhang Muliu smiled and turned his head to continue to look at the extremely interesting young man.
I saw the young man walking slowly towards the crowd, swaying with every step. He took out a palm-length black object from his arms, obliquely looking at it like wish, and took out a brocade bag embroidered with lotus flowers, and when the pouch was opened, the young man grabbed a handful of tobacco and came out.
This scene almost amused Zhang Muliu, the old shopkeeper next to him couldn't help it, he was already covering his mouth and stealing fun, and whispered: "Look at this kid, he can't even afford shoes, and he still has to smoke such a good cigarette. β
Zhang Muliu didn't say anything, but continued to look at the young man, even Liqiushui leaned over and leaned on the young man's shoulder to look at it together.
The boy snapped his fingers, a wisp of flame overflowed from his thumb, and he leaned his pipe over and lit it, and then took a hard puff, exhaled the smoke and inhaled it through his nostrils, and then said while spitting out the cigarette: "Brothers? Have you found it? Our boss spent so much money asking you to find something, and it's been a few days, and you haven't found it yet?"
Most of those who were looking for things were Qi refining cultivators, and one of the middle-aged men ran out and said with a flattering smile: "Liu Gong, this place is too big, it's really hard to find a wooden wrench with no spiritual energy, and that square hole coin is too little." β
A group of monks who were looking for something chimed in.
I saw that the young man took another puff of cigarette, squinted his eyes and scolded angrily: "Let your mother's fart! If it weren't for the fact that it is not easy to find an ordinary person here, can my boss spend a spirit jade and ask you to help find it?
A group of people nodded and said yes, and Liu Gong said: "It's not a group of people who share that money, which of you finds who's it." Lao Tzu still wants to talk to people about business, you should look for it! If you find it, go to Youshe Mountain to find me, and exchange things for money. β
After saying that, he wanted Edgeworth to leave, but his posture had been done for a long time, and he still didn't see the flying sword coming out, so the young man had to cough and walk slowly.
Li Qiushui finally couldn't hold back, he laughed with a puff, patted Zhang Muliu's arm and said: "He is not a swordsman, that flying sword should be a second-hand thing bought, and he needs to be fed money to move, depending on the situation, this kid probably has no money to feed the sword." β
Zhang Muliu also covered his face and was extremely helpless, this guy really looked like he bragged to others on the boat when he went south.
At that time, Zhang Muliu bought a brocade robe, and almost sold the donkey that was not yet a young man, because he felt that the donkey was too cheap.
At that time, Zhang Muliu once said to the passengers in the same seat: "I have money at home, and it is to be packed in sacks." If I don't have any money to spend, I'll go to the cellar and grab a handful. β
Now that I think about it, I'm still a little panicked. And the previous young man was even more able to brag than himself, delaying him a few square hole coins one step at a time, and his face was not red and his heart was not beating.
The ordinary liquor sold in this shop is naturally secular money at the checkout. After dropping a five-baht coin, the two of them went south to see how poor the mountain was.
Further south, there is another place where monks gather, called Zhidong City, built against the mountain. The monk's hill on the edge of the city is Yousha Mountain. It is said that the surname of the mountain lord is Zhao, and the end is extremely righteous, and the wife of the mountain lord is even more amazing, and the monks in the city give the name "Wei Jiu thousand years old". Others are a little vague, only that the mountain owner loves to drink, and he especially likes to make money, but he always spends money faster than he makes money. So this mountain has become poorer and poorer over the years.
This mountain lord and the mountain lord's wife are both the top of Jindan's mountain, in fact, it is not a low realm, the monks of Zhanbu Prefecture can go to build the foundation is very powerful, and the previous three sects are already the top mountains in Zhanbu Prefecture.
Edgeworth moved forward, and the speed was naturally extremely fast, and it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at Knowing Winter City. It is also very lively, this city lord should also be a Jindan monk, and there are many prohibitions in the city, but it has no effect on Zhang Muliu and the others.
This Winter City is about the same size as River Jumping City, but it is not as crowded as River Jumping City.
Since you have arrived in the city, you naturally have to accompany Lord Qiushui to buy and buy, and the things you bought along the way are almost unloaded. It's all about pendants, bracelets, and so on.
Finally accompanied Liqiushui to buy enough, Zhang Muliu took the woman's hand and went to the wine store to drink. The previous tomb wine was good, but it was too expensive, a spirit jade square hole money, only half a pot of wine. Zhang Muliu was almost anxious with the little guy at that time, and asked: "Why is there so much money, and even half of it is not full?"
The little guy pulled the corners of his mouth at that time, and said with a bitter face: "You can't afford to pay any amount of money for this wine bag!"
In the end, he left the wine shop with the guy who said that he had too much wine and little wine. also frightened Jiang Mohang, the sword of the famous continent, at that time, he should have thought that he would not be able to find a sword to marry a daughter-in-law in the future.
Ordinary drinks save money, so Zhang Muliu went to a liquor store, selling common soju.
Before he got closer, he saw the young man from before, squatting at the door of the wine shop, and the guys on the side couldn't drive him away. Zhang Muliu watched from a distance from Qiushui, and wanted to see what kind of moth this kid was going to do.
After a while, a thin and tall middle-aged man came out, smiled on his face, and said to the young man: "Liu Gong! It's not that we don't drink for you, it's really that you owe too much money, and we have a small business, so you have to close the door for me alone." β
The young man Liu Gong stood up and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wu, I don't owe money this time, you drink, I will give the money." It's just that the previous ones are owed first, my boss is going to sell the mountain, and when I find the next family, I will have money, how many days will you be graceful?"
The shopkeeper of the wine shop was smiling, and when the young man saw this, he took out the money and said that he would just fight this time.
Who knew that the shopkeeper took a few five-baht coins, turned around and walked in, ignoring Liu Gong no more. The young man was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and suddenly jumped to his feet and scolded: "Old Wu! You're too damn unkind, aren't you? I've said a few days of grace, why are you so anxious? Do you think that back then, we had Sheshan to take wine from you, and settle the bill on the first day of January, when was it shorter than your eldest son? Now that we are in trouble, you just fell into the well?"
A pot of wine fell out of the wine shop, and a faint sentence floated out: "Liu Gong, you are not young, a dignified foundation monk, and you don't regard yourself as a human being at all?"
When the young man heard this, he didn't mess around anymore, but turned his head with a wry smile and left lonely.
Zhang Muliu walked into the wine shop, threw away the wine bag, and let all the wine in the wine cellar be poured into it, and at the same time threw away a piece of ten taels of silver in the Eight Classics system, which did not need to be cut.
Then he asked, "That kid owes you a lot?"
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, sighed and said: "Actually, it's not much, it's just a few dozen taels of silver for wine, with my friendship with him for so many years, it doesn't matter if I give him for nothing." The key is that this kid is not as good as a day by day, the first two years finally built the foundation, just followed his mountain master, muddy and nightmarish, I don't want him to go on like this all the time, we Zhanbuzhou monks are many, but there are many, just like ordinary people, they also have to earn money and eat. If you can become a Jindan monk, you can survive no matter what. There is the mountain lord and the mountain owner's wife, they are all Jindan monks, no matter how poor they are, how can they be poor? With his small foundation, he can't eat enough to eat, and he is tired and tired outside to earn money?"
What he said is actually very reasonable, if it is in Shengshenzhou, Liu Gong's age to build a foundation is a genius. But Zhanbu Prefecture is different, the aura is evenly distributed across the entire continent, and they are all raised by the aura bubbles since childhood, and nine out of ten people are monks. It is easy to build a foundation, and it is not difficult to build a golden pill, but it is not easy to promote Yuanying. Therefore, in this Zhanbu Prefecture, out of a thousand Jindan monks, nine hundred and ninety-nine are papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and the remaining one is the pride of the heavens.
The reason is very simple, except for Zhanbu Continent, the rest of the continents and small continents, the aura is concentrated in the monk mountain, and ordinary people have almost never been exposed to the aura, so naturally there is no way to become a monk easily. But anyone who can practice is one in a thousand.
Zhan Buzhou is different, countless years of aura nourishment, even if it is a mortal with no cultivation potential, his ancestors have been soaked in aura for generations, and the children and grandchildren of later generations want to refine qi, it is really easy. With a little qualification, you can easily build a foundation, and if you work hard, it will not be a big problem to marry at the age of forty or fifty. But it is this kind of evenly distributed aura that gives Zhanbu Continent the atmosphere of all monks in the continent, but it makes the high-end combat power very few, and almost all those who can enter the Yuan Infant are stepping on the shoulders of tens of millions of monks.
Therefore, there is a saying in the monk world: "Zhanbuzhou monks, under the Yuan Infant is not a person, and once you enter the Yuan Baby, you are scared to death." β
Almost casually come to the foundation building monks of individual continents, and they can beat the Jindan period of Zhanbu Continent without any power to fight back. And as long as there is a native monk of Zhanbu Continent who has the realm of Yuan Infant, one can beat three Yuan Babies of other continents.
Zhang Muliu smiled when he heard this, ordered Liqiushui's favorite button meat, and made a bowl of noodles each, and began to eat.
And Liu Gong, after leaving the wine shop, walked to Youshe Mountain. The young man held a letter in his hand and held back his tears.
The letter said: "Grandson, grandparents are very good, you have to take care of yourself! I heard that the foundation has already been laid, do you know that you have to practice hard? Our Liu family may be able to produce a great monk." If you don't have money, write to me, grandparents have money. β
In fact, on a building not far from the young man, the mountain lord Zhao Wuyang and the mountain lord's wife, the Wei Jiuqian-year-old, were all looking at him.
The mountain lord of Youshe Mountain took a sip of wine and said helplessly: "Why can't this kid get rid of him? One day he was scolded for me outside, and after returning to the mountain, he still pretended to be very good, what did he want?"
Wei Jiuqiansui said with a smile: "This kid must know about our mountain, and he is unwilling to leave when you need people the most." β
Zhao Wuyang smiled bitterly: "But what can he help me? I have been a bastard for the past few years, just to let him leave." β
He paused and said in a deep voice: "We are fighting to die for that ancestral business, but he shouldn't accompany us to the death, and this matter has nothing to do with him at all." β
Wei Jiuqiansui smiled again: "If we survive this hurdle, let's take him to Juluzhou to have a look?
The mountain lord smiled and said: "Well, if you can get through, you will definitely take him to Juluzhou, although I am much older than him, but I have always regarded him as a younger brother, when the time comes, his daughter-in-law, you can't shirk it as a sister-in-law?"
A very young and beautiful woman on the side glared at Zhao Wuyang, and said loudly: "Pull the calf! I don't arrange it for him, do you want to go?"
Zhang Muliu and Li Qiushui, who were drinking and eating in the wine shop, looked at each other and smiled. Liqiushui says:
"These guys are fun"
Zhang Muliu said with a smile:
"It seems to be a couple of tiger people in Juluzhou. β
......
There is a mountain, Zhang Muliu thinks that the name is very good, and there is a gift to get it! But after Zhang Muliu said a sentence, the shopkeeper of the wine shop sneered and said, "This swordsman, you think too much." He has a mountain, but he doesn't pay so much attention to it, in fact, it just means that there is a house on the mountain. β
Juluzhou is not like other continents with different sounds, as far as Shengshenzhou is concerned, the language of the north and south of the river is almost two languages, and ordinary people have not been able to understand most of them for a few years. Juluzhou is different, although there are slight differences, but outsiders sound similar. In the eyes of the monks of other continents, everyone in that continent is tiger-headed, they do what they say, and they can do it without moving their mouths.
There has always been a joke on the mountain, that is, when the monks of Juluzhou started fighting, they used the most excuse.
"What are you looking at? What are you looking at?"
A place where there are no monks of the Tao, there is almost no prohibition for the two of them, and only then did they reach out and chase after Liu Gong, naturally they heard the words of Zhao Wuyang and Wei Jiuqian-year-old on the platform, and they were a little curious, so they planned to go to Youshe Mountain first, and then go to the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhang Muliu was a little puzzled earlier, the entire Zhidong City was almost entirely built at the foot of Youshe Mountain, could it be that Zhao Wuyang did not accept some money from the city lord?
After listening to the words of the two of them, Zhang Muliu somewhat understood the reason. And then there is what the shopkeeper said:
"Those five sheep are too righteous, and the righteous are confused. The city lord Mr. Fang is his friend, and the relationship between the two is very good, so since Mr. Fang became the city lord, he has never collected a penny. In the early years, there was also a Jindan monk named Chen Yaogong on his mountain, who served as the chief worshipper. Later, people made a lot of money, but he, the mountain master, was downcast. β
At that time, Zhang Muliu asked: "Why is the chief earning money, but the mountain master is poor?"
The shopkeeper only said: "Some things are not easy to say, you treat others as brothers, and others treat you as steps!"
Go out along the east gate of Zhidong City, and you will arrive at the gate of Youshe Mountain a few steps away, but you are really poor, and the mountain protection array is gone.
Zhang Muliu saw the young man sitting at the mountain gate and kept swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and said in his heart that he really had a fate with this kid.
The young man with the sword on his back walked up and said with a smile, "Little guy, can you go up this mountain?"
Liu Gong pursed his lips and saw a young man who looked not a few years older than himself, calling himself a little guy, so he snorted coldly and said slowly: "How old are these two swordsmen?
Zhang Muliu said with a smile: "The qualifications are not good, and the cultivation has been so far, a total of eighty-four years. β
The woman in red held back a smile and said, "It's just seventy-three this year. β
The young Liu Gong pulled the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart that these two people are living on the road! I just don't dare to say it, no matter how I say it, I have Sheshan is also a big mountain gate, although I am down, I have to be polite when I have guests.
So Liu Gong came over and laughed: "It turns out that they are two old-timers who have the ability to stay in the face!
Listening to the young man's mouth, Zhang Muliu almost couldn't help laughing. Holding back a smile, he said to the young man, "I heard that there is a mountain that is interested in selling, so I came to take a look." β
When Liu Gong heard this, his expression suddenly changed, he thought that he had concealed his smile well, and walked over and said with a serious expression: "Two, we have a big business here, and it is not clear in a few words to change hands, why don't you go up the mountain and talk to our mountain master?"
Zhang Muliu smiled and nodded, let the young man lead the way, and followed behind with his hand from Qiushui.
Along the way up the mountain, Zhang Muliuxin said that there was indeed a house, and the houses were one by one, but they were overgrown with weeds and no one took care of them.
After a short time, they reached the top of the mountain, Liu Gong took the two of them to a relatively tidy yard, ran out by himself, and estimated that he was looking for the mountain owner.
Li Qiushui said: "Are those two people really only in the Jindan realm? What is the matter with them, can't be deduced?"
The young man smiled bitterly, and replied: "Where is it so easy to deduce, mortals are not involved, and it is not a big deal to calculate it, but any monk, even if he only has Qi refining and cultivation, it is not easy to deduce." β
The woman in red sighed, and then asked, "I heard that the technique of derivation can only go backward and not forward, why?"
Zhang Muliu replied: "Time is unpredictable, even if some people can use their great powers to predict the future, they may not be accurate, and if they do so, it will be very wasteful." Not so with the old days, because that's what has already happened, and we're just going to go back and look at it. β
Li Qiushui nodded, looking like she really understood.
As he was talking, someone outside the courtyard shouted: "I said why did my left eyelid jump today, it turned out that the God of Wealth came to the door!"
A man with five big and three thick came in at the door, followed by a man who was not too short, and he could almost catch up with the woman who left Qiushui, and then the young Liu Gong was behind.
Zhao Wuyang walked over and first hugged his fist and saluted slightly, then took out a pipe from his arms, filled it with tobacco and handed it to Zhang Muliu, who waved his hand, and then saw that Zhao Wuyang snapped his fingers and lit the tobacco. After ordering his own, he naturally stretched his fingers to the side, and Liu Gong also lit his pipe with a wisp of flame, and the whole process was smooth and without the slightest stiffness.
The mountain lord did not hold his own identity, and the young man did not see him at all.
Zhang Muliu stood up and returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Presumably this is the Lord of Wuyang Mountain and the Nine Thousand Years Old Lady, right?"
Zhao Wuyang waved his hand and said: "Brother, don't scold me, I can't get mixed up with this mess, what is the master of the mountain." I heard Xiao Liu say, this brother intends to take over my mountain?"
Zhang Muliu smiled and nodded.
The mountain lord's face suddenly changed, and he sneered: "Do you want to receive a letter or a martial connection?"
The young man on the side had already picked up a piece of green brick and carried it in his hand out of nowhere, looking like if you dare to do it, I will dare to take a picture of your head.
Zhang Muliu put his hand on his forehead, and said in his heart that it really deserves its name, you should inquire about it first! Just thinking about how to explain it to the master of Wuyang Mountain, the Liqiu water on the side suddenly revealed the cultivation of the Yuanying, and the ten lang water hovered over the courtyard, and a cold current enveloped the house.
Zhao Wuyang stood up and pushed the young man behind him, frowned and said, "You really look up to me!
Wei Jiuqiansui also walked up, protected Liu Gong, frowned and said in a deep voice: "It has nothing to do with this child, you let him go, and my husband and wife are at their disposal." β
Zhang Muliu glared at Qiu Shui, who smiled whimily and withdrew Shi Langshui with a wave of his hand.
The young man in a green shirt and carrying a long sword stood up and said apologetically: "Two, we are from Shengshenzhou, Wen Jiewu has no thoughts, but on the way, I heard that the mountain lord is righteous, and I came to ask for a glass of wine." β
Li Qiushui smiled and nodded, since Zhao Wuyang and Wei Jiuqian-year-old were protecting the young Liu Gong, this beautiful woman in red has never stopped smiling.
Zhang Muliu naturally knew why she was happy.
The young man Liu Gong poked his head out and said with a vigilant expression: "Then are you really eighty-four seventy-three?"
Li Qiushui smiled and nodded: "Don't be angry, I just want to see if this little guy is tired and tired for you outside for this mountain, are you willing to block the sword for him." β
Wei Jiuqiansui also smiled: "Of course we know that he is tired, we just wanted to drive him away in the past, so that he would not get involved in our business, but who knows if this kid can't get rid of him." As for blocking the sword, of course it will. β
Zhao Wuyang's eyes rolled a few times, sat down suddenly, took out a pot of wine and poured it down before he said loudly:
"Oh, I'll go! Brother, you can really fix it! These few moments frighten me, I almost thought I was going to finish my calf today!"
