Chapter 40 Does the Old Dog Ignore the Dog?
"What's that?" Su Su grabbed Zhang Wei's sleeve, his eyes full of shining starlight.
Zhang Wei explained: "It is a substitute cloud chariot refined by immortal cultivators, if you can sit on this kind of cloud chariot in Pingsha, it will only take three or five days to reach Luoyang, so it will save time and effort." β
"So fast, is it comfortable to lie on it?" asked Su Su again.
Zhang Wei said with a smile: "Do you say that it is comfortable? It is the same as lying on top of the white clouds." β
Su Su used his imagination unbridledly, but it was the same as the reason that if a beggar became an emperor, he would be able to eat a chicken leg every day, he couldn't imagine it at all, and only muttered in pieces: "That's really comfortable!" and quickly turned his head to look at Jiang Lili, "Let's sell the carriage, and then buy a cloud chariot, okay?"
Zhang Wei was eating wine, and when he heard Su Su's words, he almost choked himself to death, and coughed for a long time before he said, "Yes, don't think about it now." Do you know how much a Xialu coin is worth? 100,000 taels of silver can roughly be worth one flower and grass money, and only a hundred flower and grass money can be worth one Xia Lu money. β
Su Su opened her mouth wide, counted with her fingers, and counted the time there would be a stick of incense before she raised her head and said, "That's really expensive!"
Zhang Wei quipped: "Then how much money do you have now?"
Jiang Lili originally didn't want to pay attention to this kind of daydream-type topic, but she really couldn't stand Su Su's constant urging, so she had to answer: "One thousand and nine hundred and eighty taels!"
Zhang Wei sighed and said with a smile: "So much money, that's almost enough to buy a gem on that cloud chariot!"
Jiang Lili was very annoyed!
The three of them were silent for a moment, and then Su Su asked again: "Do those immortal cultivators really go to heaven and earth? I heard that those immortal cultivators can live for hundreds of years!"
Zhang Wei was willing to show his knowledge on this kind of topic, so he said: "It's true, isn't this immortal cultivation just to seek immortality, if you don't care about the world and concentrate on cultivation, I'm afraid that you can live for more than a thousand years." β
Looking at the surprise on Su Su's face, Zhang Wei was a little proud, took a sip of wine and continued: "In fact, if a martial artist only practices martial arts, he can live for hundreds of years, just like Xie Xingzhi, who is most admired by the world, he is now more than one hundred and eighty years old, but he looks like he is only in his thirties." But if you just practice martial arts to seek immortality, then what kind of martial arts do you practice? It is better to go directly to cultivate immortals, saving time and effort. But after all, those who practice martial arts have to fight with others, and some exercises specifically seek power, which is extremely depleting to themselves. Therefore, compared to immortal cultivators, martial artists really have a much shorter lifespan. Compared to ordinary people, if they don't die, they are all old monsters who can live for hundreds of years. β
Su Su pouted, turned her head to look at Jiang Lili, and only felt that it was a pity for her to give up practicing swords at that time. However, Su Su also thought about it, and if she was asked to practice swords at this time, she would definitely not be happy. Su Su didn't worry for long, and asked again: "That's right, Zhang Wei, how long can you live now?"
Zhang Wei sneered, "Although our Fuhu Mountain Dao System is somewhat similar to immortal cultivators, the ultimate purpose is to kill demons and eliminate demons, so we are also impregnated with some martial arts techniques. And because he often fights against shadowy things, his lifespan is not as good as that of an immortal cultivator, and it is roughly longer than that of ordinary martial artists. β
Su Su felt a little funny, "Zhang Wei, are you having something wrong with your brain, I only ask how long you can live, what are you doing with so much talk?"
Jiang Lili sneered: "Maybe he is not good at learning, and he is embarrassed to say it because he has a short life!"
Zhang Wei laughed, "Actually, it's almost the same, I'm different from my fellow brothers, I focus on martial arts, so my lifespan is not long, only more than fifty years longer than ordinary people." β
"Look, I'm right!" Jiang Lili smiled.
Zhang Wei only felt that Jiang Lili's words were a little ironic, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Eh, by the way, this Luoyang is very chaotic now, what are you two doing in Luoyang?"
Jiang Lili thought for a while and replied truthfully: "There is an old man who asked me to come to Luoyang to get a knife. β
"Take a knife, old man?" Zhang Wei pondered for a while, "That old man is your master, why haven't you seen him now?"
Jiang Lili has always been fighting for this kind of thing, "It's your uncle!"
"Cheng Chengcheng, it's my uncle!" Zhang Wei was a little helpless, "But did the old man give you a point?" Here Luoyang City is not as good as Pingsha, and there are incense sachets and Buddha beads in Pingsha's shops, but there are so many swords in Luoyang City, it can't be just a random knife!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Lili was also a little puzzled, but he only felt that what Zhang Wei said seemed to have some truth, this Zhang Jiuling would not be his own!
After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason, Zhang Wei looked at the sky, "By the way, there are quite a lot of famous blacksmiths in Luoyang City, I remember the most famous one is the one in the east of the city, I forgot what the name of the store is, you can naturally know when you ask passers-by in the east of the city!"
Seeing that Zhang Wei was about to get up, Su Su asked, "Eh, where are you going?"
Zhang Wei squeezed his eyes, "Don't tell children about this kind of thing." β
Su Su didn't ask again, and after Zhang Wei left, Jiang Lili asked, "Where did he go?"
"You don't know?"
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Su Su felt a little blushing, and finally shouted fiercely: "He went to the Red Mansion to eat flower wine!"
Jiang Lili thought for a while, "How do you know about such a thing?"
"Why don't I know?" Su Su looked proud, "Lao Zhang used to have this expression on his face when he went to eat flower wine!"
It's just that Su Su doesn't seem to understand that this thing is actually not a skill to come out of a little girl's mouth!
ββββββ
It was almost night, so the two of them did not go out to look for the blacksmith, but returned to the inn and slept for a while.
Su Su woke up at noon the next day, only to feel the panic of her stomach, and hurriedly shouted Jiang Lili's rice is ready?
After not hearing the reply for a long time, he realized that he was in the inn, and remembered that Jiang Lili had probably finished practicing the knife at this time, and slowly walked downstairs after washing with a basin of warm water brought by Xiao Er, only to see that Jiang Lili was already sitting on the table eating and drinking.
Su Su rushed over, "Jiang Gou, you are too unkind, and you won't call me when you eat! If I hadn't gotten up early, maybe I'd have to give you a lunch!"
Jiang Lili looked up at Su Su slightly, and teased, "Get up early?"
Su Su blushed slightly, "What do you care about so much, you just eat your food!"
Jiang Lili ignored her, and after eating, asked, "Will you go to the east of the city with me?"
"Where?" Su Su was still a little confused.
"Chengdong, go find the most famous blacksmith!"
"Far from it?"
"We're in the west of the city, you say it's not far away?"
Hearing this, Su Su lost interest, waved his hand lazily and said, "It's done, I won't go, you can go, remember to leave some silver." β
The corners of Jiang Lili's mouth twitched, avoiding the eyes of others in the inn, and gave Su Su a silver ticket of ten taels, and said in a low voice, don't let others see it!
Su Su is not stupid, she knows what Jiang Lili means by this kind of style, "It's done, how to grind and chirp, I don't go out, I just buy some food to eat when I'm hungry!"
Jiang Lili snorted, and walked out of the door with a wooden knife on his back.
It's still raining today, but fortunately, the streets of Luoyang are all paved with yellow bricks, and even if the ground is soaked in rainwater, it doesn't feel slippery at all.
It's just that despite this, it took Jiang Lili almost two hours to drive the carriage from the west of the city to the east of the city.
I only feel that the east of the city is a little more noisy than the west of the city, and the streets are full of clanging irons, and these blacksmith shops have attracted many warriors who come to ask for a weapon, mixed with the rough shouts of the warriors.
After finding a horse gallery to store the carriage, Jiang Lili walked onto the street, looking at the dense swords placed on the stall, he felt a little dizzy, and thought to himself, which of the so many knives was given to him by Zhang Jiuling?
Suppressing the slight anger in his heart, Jiang Lili found a martial artist who seemed to be familiar with this place, "Do you know where the most famous blacksmith shop in the east of the city is?"
The man looked at Jiang Lili's short figure and smiled, stretching out a hand.
Jiang Lili knew what this person meant, and said coldly: "How much?"
The man's eyes rolled, and the lion opened his mouth and said, "Ten taels!"
Jiang Lili raised his eyebrows, "Copper?"
The man looked at Jiang Lili with amusement and laughed.
Jiang Lili's face turned cold, and he turned his head and was about to leave, but he didn't expect to be pulled by the sleeve of his shirt, and the man smiled and said: "This can't be done, you can do this business if you say you can't do it, and if you don't do it, you won't do it?" That Lao Tzu has been talking nonsense with you for so long, when I am idle? Now I have changed my mind, twenty taels of silver, you can't run this business!"
Jiang Lili didn't turn around, just turned his head and looked at him with slanted eyes, but didn't speak.
A few martial artists noticed this, but they couldn't see it, "What do you do when you ignore the dog, what are you doing for a child?
The martial artist who was called Gou Buli laughed, "There is everything in this Jianghu, and it is not a bad thing to teach this child a long lesson, lest he die on the streets in the future." You two talk about it and see if it makes sense?"
There is a way to cut off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and I am afraid that it is because this dog ignores some cruel methods, and the few martial artists who can't see it don't speak anymore and turn their heads.
The dog laughed smugly twice, then turned his head to look at Jiang Lili again, "They all think it is reasonable, do you say it is reasonable?"
Jiang Lili suddenly turned around and teased, "You call the dog to ignore it?"
Gou Buli's face was slightly cold, "This name is not something you can call!"
Jiang Lili said to herself: "It's easy to ignore the dog, do you know what others call me?
The dog ignored it and was stunned, remembering when he laughed and said: "Old dog, I have roughly heard of this name, do you think you made up a name that I don't know where I heard it... β
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Gou Buli's face turned pale suddenly, and his body was like a kite with a broken string smashing the faΓ§ade of a shop, and then fell to the ground weakly.
Jiang Lili put the wooden knife on his back again, walked slowly towards the dog buli, bent down and licked his lips and said, "Fifty taels of silver, and then lead me to the last famous blacksmith shop in the east of the city, do you say this business can be done well?"
