Volume 3: Accession to the WTO - Qingyun National Capital, Gathering Clouds Chapter 73: Langya Mansion
Hua Xuanxuan used his real name, and he didn't worry about someone checking it, his family was originally in the medicinal herb business, and he was also learning alchemy with Qi Changzheng, of course, it was Qu Yan's Yuan Shen who really taught him alchemy.
As long as the monks of alchemy do not go around shouting against the Yuan Shi, they will not be persecuted, and on the contrary, they will be courteous, which is all investigated and understood in advance.
As for Qi Changzheng and Ape Qingshan, naturally there is no need to hide their real names, whoever knows them is who.
After forging the body, the two of them looked no different from Yuanshi on the surface, as long as they were not closely investigated, no one knew that the two of them were practicing Taoism, which was confirmed by Quyan Yuanshen himself.
In this way, starting from Pingding Town, after more than a month of running, the three of them settled in Qingzhou City openly. Yongsheng Street, the area where the second and third rank masters lived, often dealt with the surrounding court officials, and even the Yuan Shi of the Cultivation Realm.
In Qi Changzheng's words, this is called "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger".
Langya Mansion
The name that Qi Changzheng chose for the mansion commemorates the Wolf Tooth Special Brigade that fought in his previous life, of course, no one else knows.
There are many buildings in Langya Mansion, and the three of Qi Changzheng only live in the deepest inner house. Hua Xuanxuan is nominally a young master, occupying the main house of the inner house, Qi Changzheng lives in the left side house, and Ape Qingshan lives in the right side house. The structure of houses in this world is roughly like this, and most of them are in a pattern of one main and two deviations.
The area of the outer house is very large, and the family has invited a lot of maids, and has also found an old housekeeper, which can be regarded as decorating the grandeur of the rich family. Qi Changzheng has his own considerations for the lack of nursing homes, and there is no random recruitment.
The three of them were not worried about the bold existence of these maids, without permission, they could only move around the outer house, and could not get close to the area of the inner house.
On the other hand, the identity of Yuan Shi is a symbol of rampant domineering in Qingzhou City. The maids and maids were all trembling at the three of them, and there was no need to dare to show their faces in front of the three of them. If you annoy the Buddha, there is no place to reason if your head falls off, because there is an unwritten decree in Qingzhou City, that is, Yuan Shi is not guilty of killing civilians.
A small courtyard in the deepest part of the inner house is where Qi Changzheng's three people cultivate.
At this time, there were two custom-made large iron bucket racks burning on the fire, and Hua Xuanxuan was heating one of the iron buckets. The other bucket had only a few sticks of firewood, and the flame was just right to keep the water at the right temperature. And the iron bucket he warmed, the water surface was already boiling slightly, and he was still adding firewood to it.
Soon after, Saru-Aoyama jumped out of the iron bucket at a constant temperature, his whole body was red, and the mist was rising, looking like a cooked giant shrimp. He glanced at the other iron bucket enviously, and shouted at Hua Xuanxuan: "Hurry up and strike while the iron is hot." ”
Hua Xuanxuan grabbed two thick wooden sticks with all his fists, crackled, and beat him up and down the ape Qingshan Zhou. When the stick broke, he replaced it, and he didn't beat it until the blush on Ape Aoyama's body faded, and then he stopped panting.
"You rest for a while, I'll drink saliva. Ape Aoyama went to the side to drink water like no one else, and when he walked back, another iron bucket also came out, Ape Aoyama grabbed a big iron rod and said, "Fatty, get ready, use all your strength." ”
Hua Xuanxuan also held a thick iron rod, took a deep breath, and the two of them stood by the iron bucket on the left and the right.
"Whoa......
Qi Changzheng jumped out of the iron bucket, covered in a thick mist. As soon as they fell to the ground, Ape Qingshan and Hua Xuanxuan held their iron rods high and hit them with their heads and faces, and the sound that came out was like a symphony of gold and iron.
The thick fog gradually dissipated, revealing Qi Changzheng, who was covered in blue, and the iron rod hit him heavily, not only did he not dodge, but he met it.
The two iron rods flew up and down, and his eyes were wide open, and he could always match the strength of the iron rod every time it hit him. His hands only protected his head, and he occasionally used his head to greet Hua Xuanxuan's iron rod.
With a "clang", Ape Qingshan's strength was much heavier than Hua Xuanxuan's, and the iron rod thrown aside had turned into a U-shape. changed to an iron rod and continued to temper Qi Changzheng's body until his blue skin became red.
"Okay, let's practice here today, and we'll change our clothes and get ready to welcome the guests. Qi Changzheng said as he relaxed his muscles.
"Long March, do I really want to wear a Taoist robe?" Thinking of the plan made by the three of them last night, Hua Xuanxuan's heart was still a little empty.
"Wear, must wear. Qi Changzheng's tone was firm, "Whether you can apprentice or not depends on tonight." ”
Hua Xuanxuan still wanted to fight, but Ape Qingshan pushed him and scolded with a smile: "Coward, we will harm you, go back to change your clothes and prepare to pick up guests." ”
"Pick-up ......" Qi Changzheng muttered back to the room, he also had to change his clothes to pick up guests.
Today is the day when Langya Mansion feasts its neighbors, and the invitations have been distributed by the old housekeeper. There is a household that counts as a household, whether it is a member of the imperial court or the mansion of the Yuanshi of the Cultivation Realm, they all sent invitations.
The most important thing is that an invitation with a secret language was personally delivered by Qi Changzheng to Duanmu Gaoyi's mansion, and he lived in the Danwang Mansion next door, which was the real reason why Qi Changzheng chose this mansion.
The door of Langya Mansion is full of lights, the traffic is busy, and the second and third grade officials who live in Yongsheng Street have come to the door. For the Cultivators of the Cultivation Realm, whether they know it or not, it is not something they can offend.
Although the status is the same, the Buddhism Gate controls the royal family of the Qingyun Kingdom, and its own status is beyond everything in the mundane world. Needless to say, even if it is a first-class master, they will send their subordinates to send congratulatory gifts.
The three people who greeted the guests in front of the mansion were also dressed elegantly, and the yellow satin monk robes of Qi Changzheng and Ape Qingshan were located on both sides of Huaxuanxuan. The really exquisite is Hua Xuanxuan, who is dressed in a cyan Taoist robe, and the one who welcomes the guests is also the Taoist courtesy.
The main reason why Qi Changzheng held a banquet was for the sake of Hua Xuanxuan, and there was only one main guest, that is, Duanmu Gaoyi.
Duanmu Gaoyi has a quirky temperament, and Qi Changzheng thought of this method. With Hua Xuanxuan's righteousness in the tiger's den but being able to wear a Taoist robe, he hopes to get Duanmu Gaoyi's blue eyes.
It's just that Hua Xuanxuan was timid by nature, and he didn't agree to take risks before, but after Qi Changzheng asked Xiuniang to embroider the word "Danshi" on his chest, he had the bottom in his heart. I just don't know if this behavior of painting snakes will make Duanmu Gaoyi disgusted, and Qi Changzheng also sweated.
If Duanmu Gaoyi is too pedantic and can't tolerate sand in his eyes, he is likely to be self-defeating.
Langya Mansion is very large, covering an area of nearly 15 acres. Pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, flowers, there should be, and the racecourse that should not be there is also being rebuilt.
When you are in the enemy camp, you must have the consciousness of uniting the enemy - Qi Changzheng's quotations.
After all, it is difficult for a Yuan Shi to adapt to the world, whether it is a Yuan Shi or a monk, who has embarked on the path of cultivation, and everything outside the body must make way for cultivation. A Yuan Shi who can cultivate to the realm of cultivating gods is a person who has transcended the mundane, and his fame and fortune are like floating clouds. There is a special place for horse racing and shooting, and for them, it can also relieve the distress of entering the WTO and cultivating.
It's just that this idea was come up by Qi Changzheng himself, and it still needs to be verified, and Ape Qingshan also strongly supports it.
When he was in the ape tribe, he had a foundation in archery, but at that time he didn't like to hurt people with dark arrows, and felt that practicing arrows was not as enjoyable and direct as slashing with a big knife.
After he heard that Qi Changzheng had shot Chen, he moved his mind to study archery. This is also poisoned by Qi Changzheng, the originally upright ape Qingshan, is now not much different from the treacherous Qi Changzheng.
The guests arrived one after another, but they didn't come yet, but there were two who shouldn't come, both of whom were living in Yongsheng Street.
The second- and third-grade officials of the imperial court, whether they love to come or not, Qi Changzheng did not plan to mix in the officialdom, let them enter the mansion to eat buffet by themselves. But Yuanshi can't be offended, and Ape Aoyama personally accompanies him. He had already suffered from Qi Changzheng's poison, and it was still very simple to deal with pedantic monks.
What Hua Xuanxuan didn't expect was that when he greeted the two Buddhist scholars, both of them actually saluted him, which made him completely relieved. Qi Changzheng didn't go to receive the two Yuanshi, just to accompany him and wait for Duanmu Gaoyi, which was the highlight of tonight.
