Chapter 379: The Past
The old man devoured the chicken leg in his left hand and the roast goose in his right hand, looking at the people present in surprise...... Everyone is a cultivator, but they really have never eaten like this, and it is the first time they have seen someone eat like this on such an occasion! After being surprised, they are disgusted, despised, and curious. Because in their eyes, this old beggar is the reincarnation of a starving ghost. If it weren't for the fact that three heaven-level masters kept putting food in the bowl for the old man, the other people at the table would have already shouted for someone to drive the old man away! And this scene was also the reason why they were curious: why would the three heaven-level masters be so good to the old man?
These three heaven-level masters are naturally Kong Yuyan, He Sheng and Lu Fang. They don't care what the people at the table think! The most important thing now is to serve the old-timers well......
"How's this wine? No, I'll let them change it. ”
"You taste this fish, it's very tender......"
The old man can't wait to grow four hands to pick up things now, and he is overwhelmed with such a large table of dishes! Fortunately, there are three people who keep sandwiching the dishes, so that he will not be in a hurry......
"You've scared everyone away with your appearance!" Duan Tianyu appeared behind the old man and said.
Indeed, there were only the four of them left at the table, the old man and Kong Yuyan, and the others went to other tables anyway because of disgust or contempt......
Kong Yuyan got up and gave up his seat to Duan Tianyu, "Senior Uncle Ancestor, you sit here." ”
The old man continued to stuff it into his mouth, "It's better if you're all gone, all the tables will be mine!"
Duan Tianyu sat in his seat, first glanced at Ye Siqing's direction, then Chu Wushuang, and finally froze on the table in front of him for .......a long time before he spoke, "Will you do me a favor later?"
The old man stopped the movements in his hands and mouth, turned his head and looked at Duan Tianyu in surprise, "What are you talking about?"
Duan Tianyu nodded, picked up the tea that Kong Yuyan had poured and put it to his mouth.
The old man threw away the chicken leg and roast goose in his hand, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and asked curiously, "Do you want to ask for help?"
Duan Tianyu took a sip of tea and looked at the table in the center in the distance, but quickly pulled it back and finally nodded.
The old man looked at Duan Tianyu and picked up the chicken leg again...... After a long time, he asked, "Although I haven't known you for a long time, you shouldn't ask for someone easily...... By the way, didn't you say that you can beat everyone here, what are you using me for...... Haha, fortunately, I have a good memory, I remember what you said, and I almost promised you!"
The corners of Duan Tianyu's mouth showed a smile, shook his head, picked up the chopsticks and began to pick up the vegetables......
The old man turned his head to look at Duan Tianyu and felt very strange...... Did he just say that he was joking? Or did he figure it out and solve it himself? How did he eat? Whatever, he couldn't easily agree to him anyway......
As he said, Wei Chiwu came back quickly, "I'm sorry, everyone. I punished myself with a glass ......"
For this kind of knowing behavior, everyone present is like a mirror, so they didn't say anything. Even Zhao Jing didn't speak again this time, the first time she opened her mouth was because she was unaccustomed and dissatisfied, and now if she speaks again, it will be sincerely finding fault......
Wei Chiwu sat in his seat, and a smile appeared on his face again, "That's the case, just now my father came with the news, it is the resources that came out of the secret realm this time, and our [Qianwei Zhai] will buy them at a price twenty percent higher than usual!"
As soon as Wei Chiwu's words were finished, the person in charge of the [Forging Pavilion] this time spoke, "Our [Forging Pavilion] will be the same as [Qianwei Zhai], and we will purchase resources by 20% higher than usual. ”
After [Thousand Flavors] and [Forging Pavilion] finished speaking, the heads of the [Rune Academy] and [Phantom Alliance] looked at each other, both surprised. Didn't they all have a uniform price before? Even if they wanted to change the price, they would have negotiated in advance, why did the two of them suddenly do this time?
Others were surprised. As the four professional alliances with extremely high status in the Huaxia cultivation world, they would come to purchase materials every time they went to the secret realm and forbidden land. Needless to say, there are no useless materials for loose cultivation and small sects, and even for big families, they sell more or less materials to the four positions every time, because they may need the help of these four positions at any time...... But surprise is surprise, and no one said anything. For the people of all denominations it is not only irrelevant to them, but it is also beneficial to them. And the reason why the two unexpected professional alliances did not have words was because they needed to ask for instructions......
Seeing that no one was talking, Wei Chiwu and the person in charge of the [Forging Pavilion] naturally achieved their intended purpose......"
Obtaining [Senmi Zhai] and [Forging Pavilion] will increase the price of purchased materials, and the hall erupts in warm applause and praise......
"[Qianwei Zhai] has set an example this time, and it deserves to be the first of the four positions!"
"Twenty percent! should have increased a long time ago, who doesn't know that the current resources are rare......
Wei Chiwu was very happy when he listened to the praise below. He got up, pressed his hand, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said, "In today's cultivation world, resources are depleted, and with the depletion of resources, it will be very difficult for cultivators to improve their cultivation...... Therefore, we, [Senwei Zhai] and [Forging Pavilion], decided to ......"
After a 'put himself in his shoes' and 'cordial and sincere' remarks, Wei Chiwu received more praise...... Second Chinese Network
"The matter of you asking me for help can't have anything to do with that kid on the stage, right?" the old man glanced at the gushing Wei Chiwu and asked.
Hearing the old man's words, Duan Tianyu raised his eyelids and glanced at Captain Chi Wu, smiling without saying a word.
This small action was noticed by the old man, and he immediately became interested, "Yes, I guessed right! It must have something to do with the nonsense kid on stage!" That boy, like his ancestor, is not a good thing!"
Now, Duan Tianyu became interested, "Do you know his ancestor?"
The old man grabbed the chicken leg in front of him again, "How can you not know it! That's quite an acquaintance! His ancestor, Chi Xian, is the 21st master of [Qianwei Zhai]. It was from that time that [Qianwei Zhai] became their Wei Chi family! It is said that the 20th lord of Zhai was killed by that Wei Chi Xian!"
The old man threw the chicken bones on the table and clapped his hands, "That Wei Chixian, it's really despicable! You don't know, at that time, I accidentally got a [Desolate Heaven Pill], which was a sensation at the time! But at this time, that old miscellaneous hair said that the [Desolate Heaven Pill] was refined by himself, and the most infuriating thing was that I stole his Dan!
"Well, it's hateful enough!" Duan Tianyu nodded, looked at Wei Chiwu on the stage, and replied absentmindedly.
The old man put his hand in front of Duan Tianyu's eyes and shook it, and when he noticed his perfunctory, he immediately stopped, "What's the matter, you don't believe me either!"
Duan Tianyu retracted his gaze and landed on the old man's body. He found that the old man's emotions fluctuated when he talked about it. It stands to reason that this incident was more than 200 years ago, and with the old man's character, there should be no emotional ups and downs......
"Of course I believe you!" Duan Tianyu's tone was serious, "Just now I was just thinking about how that Yu Chixian used to make people believe that the [Desolate Heaven Pill] was his?"
The smile on the old man's face reappeared, and he regained his calmness, "I tell you, he is despicable and insidious! He conspired with a friend who was very close to me at the time, and asked him to come out and prove that the pill was stolen by me! In this way, I became a villain in the eyes of everyone! But I can't let me be complacent, I took the pill and killed it, and I hid ...... deep in the mountains."
When the old man said this, his face was very calm, as if nothing had happened...... However, gradually, his face changed, turning into sadness...... "I have been hiding in the mountains for decades, and finally broke through to the Hongtian Realm. When I got out of the mountain, I went to them to settle accounts...... I've thought a lot about it over the years, and I've gradually felt less hatred for my friend. Actually, if someone had believed me, I wouldn't have gone to my friend! But no one believed me! Although I had less hatred, I still couldn't get angry! After I found him, I beat him, but what I didn't know was that he was dying at that time! My beating exacerbated his ...... So, it's like I killed him......"
The old man took a sip of wine and drank his sorrow, "He apologized to me, saying that he was a ghost at the time, and that was enough...... And I'm just trying to breathe......"
"That friend of yours must have been condemned by his conscience all these years!"
Indeed, he said it himself. ”
"Then you don't have to worry about that!"
"He's one of my few friends, so ......," the old man took another sip of wine and saw off the last of his thoughts.
"What about Wei Chixian? You didn't go to him?"
Speaking of this Yu Chixian, the old man actually had a gloating appearance...... "Speaking of this Wei Chixian, the ancients said that they are honest and do not deceive me! That is, 'good and evil will be rewarded in the end!' He's miserable! He failed when he was promoted to the Fourth Rank Heavenly Pill Master, not only did he lose his cultivation, but he also ended up paralyzed! And at that time, his sons were competing for the position of the lord of the fast, who had time to take care of him, and in the end he was starved to death! Hey, this is actually my fault, if I had gone to him earlier, he would not have starved to death......
The corners of Duan Tianyu's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, and he looked at Wei Chiwu on the main table again, and his smile deepened...... He took out a pen and paper and wrote something......
"What are you writing? I can't read it?" the old man asked, leaning over.
"What I wrote is a solution to the problem in a while!" Duan Tianyu handed the piece of paper to Kong Yuyan after writing it, "You three take a look, and then burn it." ”
The old man watched Kong Yuyan take the piece of paper away, and asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
"You'll know in a moment!" Duan Tianyu smiled, "Have you three finished reading it?"
Kong Yuyan and the three of them first looked at each other, then at the old man, and finally at Duan Tianyu, nodded, and responded, "I'm done." ”
Duan Tianyu nodded with satisfaction, "Burn the paper." ”
"Yes. Kong Yuyan just wanted to burn the paper, but the old man snatched the paper......
Duan Tianyu shook his head helplessly, picked up the cup and began to drink tea......
The old man held the paper and looked at it for a long time, still frowning. Turned his head to look at Duan Tianyu, finally put the paper away, and continued to eat and drink......
