Zongxin and his entourage found the largest inn to live temporarily, originally to Bengzhou to treat their injuries, Zongxin and their injuries were indeed not light, and they needed to be well recuperated.

Tianya took Seventeen and Eighteen to buy medicine for his master, and he didn't need to ask the doctor to prescribe it at all, he bought all the good medicines, as long as he put these medicines into the Bacchus gourd, it would naturally make these things into medicinal wine. Tianya admires Master from the bottom of his heart, Master is indeed a master in the world, and even a treasure like the Bacchus gourd alone cannot be exchanged for even one country.

The demon and Dugu Xingyue waited for Zong Xin to eat, because they couldn't use it because they were missing a hand, and eating was also a troublesome thing. And these days, the food is sleeping in the open air, and finally there is a tiled head cover, which is a nunnery, and I haven't eaten anything decent at all, even if this group of foodies can stand it, Zongxin can't stand it.

The river fresh in Bengzhou is very famous, and Zongxin ordered a few large tables of river fresh to satisfy everyone's cravings. Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin love money very much, but they are two extremes, Zhao Kuangyin is a dime, and Zong Xin spends money lavishly. Some of the dishes in the restaurant are ordered twice, anyway, there are more and more people here, and they are not afraid of waste.

Hexian drank wine, and everyone present was very happy except for Zhao Kuangyin. Because Zhao Kuangyin was injured in his right hand, and no one took care of him, it was troublesome to hold chopsticks with his left hand. But this is just a little emotion, and it is not easy to eat something that you are satisfied with, of course, you have to savor it.

While eating, another wave of people came to the inn. Everyone could see that it was a group of dart walkers, and some people were holding dart flags.

After this group of people entered the door, all eyes were focused on Dugu Xingyue, and the leader of this group of dart masters turned out to be a little girl, and the little girl rushed forward directly and knelt on one knee.

"Apprentice, please say hello to Master. ”

"Get up. Dugu Xingyue said gently: "Let me introduce you, this is your master, Master Zongxin." ”

"The disciple greets the master. ”

Zong Xin felt a little embarrassed, and suddenly ran out and knelt down for himself. said that it was a little girl, her age should be fifteen or sixteen years old, not much younger than Zongxin. It's really embarrassing to be called a master. Dugu Xingyue's age of accepting apprentices is too old.

Zong Xin looked at Tianya again, and when he reached the age of Dugu Xingyue, there would not be much between Tianya and this girl.

"This apprentice of mine was accepted by me when I was 19 years old, and I am the daughter of Zhengyou Dart Bureau. In the 20 years of Zhengyou Dart Bureau, there has not been a single dart miss. Dugu Xingyue first introduced the situation of the apprentice, and then put her mouth close to Zong Xin's ear and whispered: "The boss of the Zhengyou Dart Bureau is Lei Hong's sworn brother, and the two have a lot of business dealings, so no one dares to rob the dart pressed by the Zhengyou Dart Bureau." As long as Zhengyou Dart does not take this dart, it proves that there is an eye on this thing, and the dart game will increase the price according to the identity of the target. ”

Zong Xin immediately understood that it stands to reason that her father is Lei Hong's sworn brother-in-law, so this should be his own sister-in-law. As a result, she was Dugu Xingyue's apprentice again, and she called herself master...... It's too complicated.

"Sit, sit, sit, all come, the more people, the happier they are, and the shopkeeper will have another dish according to the original dish. Zong Xin was polite, and he didn't know what to say.

Darts are the hardest trade, but also the most cost-effective. You don't need to pay for it, just send one thing to another place, and you can make a lot of money on this trip.

The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the soldiers are in chaos, and I am afraid that there will be bandits and bandits to rob them. Therefore, many rich people would rather spend a lot of money to hire a dart bureau to protect themselves and their finances than risk going on their own. Therefore, the dart board is still very profitable, because it is a friend of the dart board, it can be said that it is famous in the world, because this dart board has been established for 20 years, no dart has been robbed, and the insured goods can be safely delivered to the destination.

Zhengyou Dart Game is no longer just the name of a dart game, but also a force that cannot be underestimated. How could a person who dared to bow down to Lei Hong not have some soldiers and horses in his hands? Moreover, Gu Guozhang, the boss of Zhengyou Dart Bureau, is also a martial arts master who does not lose to Lei Hong, although he has been very amiable in the past 20 years, Gu Guozhang's temper was no more violent than Lei Hong in the past.

"Yue'er, I didn't expect your father to let you dart. That old man is also quite reasonable, what kind of dart did he ask you to keep, and where did he send it?"

Gu Xiaoyue said: "Just send it to Bengzhou, it is only a few days from Jinling to Bengzhou, and there is no danger along the way, and all the pieces sent are some broken copper and iron." My father will only give me this kind of small work, I really want to take a big vote, even if it is sent to Tibet, I will admit it. ”

The original road from Jinling to Bengzhou was not far, and this road was almost the sphere of influence of Jinling, and there were no bandits and robbers on the edge of the imperial city. Not to mention letting the dart bureau press the dart, it stands to reason that there is no need to use a carriage, and there is no danger in walking directly to Bengzhou with a box of gold.

This trip is really puzzling, but except for Zong Xin, no one else has thought about it this way. I just feel that Gu Guozhang loves his daughter, so he lets his daughter do this simple errand. Although the girl is also a martial arts practitioner, she is still a little girl after all, so she doesn't dare to let her protect the troublesome dart.

Dugu Xingyue chuckled: "Oh~ Your father loves you, I don't want you to work too hard." Now that this dart is over, you should go back to Jinling, right? It just so happens that your master and I are going back to Jinling to get married, so it's good for you to take care of each other when you walk with us. ”

"Yes, Master. ”

Gu Xiaoyue was also very happy, she hadn't seen Master for several months. I didn't expect that the master could still marry, and marry a world-famous monk. It's just that...... The age of this senior monk is not much compared to himself, and when his brother thinks he is young, he even wants to call him master.

However, Gu Xiaoyue didn't dare to underestimate this young monk, the person who walked the dart was the most well-informed, and his ears were already full when he ran the rivers and lakes, how profound Master Zongxin was in Buddhism, how many earth-shattering things he had done, and he could also subdue demons and catch monsters. Gu Xiaoyue is quite interested in this kind of thing, although she has always heard that there are monsters, but she has never seen what monsters look like.

"Master, I heard that you can subdue demons and catch monsters, dare to ask how many monsters have you subdued?"

Zong Xin pouted and said, "Eh~~ It's not much, there should be three." Wutai Mountain makes monsters, thousands of monks go down the mountain to take refuge, poor monks go to Wutai Mountain to catch demons, the result is a snake king with countless small snakes to make a monster, the poor monk will catch them all. A few days ago, a white-haired zombie ran out of the Eight Dragons Tomb, and the poor monk also destroyed it. Just two days ago, we also met a banyan tree Chengjing, this kind of monster has nothing to do, even a tree can't move, so I didn't care about her. ”

At the mention of this, many people sighed. I remembered the tragic story of the banyan tree spirit again. The things that Zong Xin said were incredible, but the matter of catching demons in Wutai Mountain was spread widely, and everyone in the entire rivers and lakes knew about it, so no one doubted this Taoist monk's deeds.

Other people may not know it very well, but Zhao Kuangyin sees it with his own eyes every time, and he also admires Zong Xin's ability. But...... Zongxin didn't use any spells, so he knew that Zongxin was not really a profound Dharma, he was just a more unlucky and nosy monk.

"Admire and admire, the master is worthy of being a monk, and the disciple has never seen a monster in his life. ”

Not to mention Gu Xiaoyue, except for Zong Xin, who else dares to say that they have seen monsters? I don't know if Zong Xin is unlucky or Zhao Kuangyin is unlucky, they will always encounter incredible things together.

Zong Xin nodded slightly, and then asked, "Sister Xingyue, she is your apprentice, what do you usually teach her?"

"Swordsmanship, our Dugu Valve's swordsmanship is not impossible to pass on, because it is a famous family in Jinling, many people will worship Dugu Valve to learn swordsmanship. As long as the disciples are willing to learn, we will teach them with all our might, and we will never hide them privately. ”

"Dugu Valve's swordsmanship? It turns out that it can be passed on, I thought that like Zhao Valve, only people with the surname Zhao can learn the Nine Heavens True Qi. Zong Xin said: "It's nothing, I'm just interested in a problem." Who is it who asked you to protect this dart, such a close distance, and it is all within the sphere of influence of Jinling, it stands to reason that there should be no bandits or bandits around, why would anyone pay for you to run this trip. ”

Zongxin thought of this question from the beginning, but he was too embarrassed to ask it just now. After Zong Xin spoke, the others also felt that something was wrong. Indeed, as Zongxin said, such a short distance, and the journey is very peaceful, there is no need to deliberately find a dart game, is it because there is too much money and nowhere to spend?

There are only two possibilities for this scenario. Either the things of this trip are too valuable, and the owner does not dare to make the slightest mistake. Either the things in this dart can be seen, so you have to borrow the name of Zhengyou Dart Bureau and haul these things out of Jinling.

Gu Xiaoyue said: "Master, I'm worried a lot, this trip is not a valuable item, and it can even be said that every family has it." However, the bodyguards know that only our Zhengyou Dart Bureau can give these things away, otherwise he will not be able to sell them. ”

"Oh~ I see. Zong Xin said: "It's private salt." ”

"The master is really smart, and it is the private salt. ”

The price of salt remains high, and there is no way to do it. Rock salt is scarce, brine wells are even rarer, and almost every household now eats sea salt.

Sea salt is not difficult to make, it is obtained by boiling seawater in a large pot and boiling it dry, but it needs to be purified several times before it can be served. Although it is not a difficult process, it consumes a lot of wood and labor, so the production cost is not low. Moreover, it is transported all the way from the sea to the mainland, and the freight is high, and if something happens on the way, it will be lost, so the price of salt will be so expensive.

Salt is a necessity of life, but the price is high, and it is generally run by the local government, and private sales are never allowed. But there are some businessmen who are willing to take risks, because the private salt business is too profitable, from the emperor to the beggars, no one can do without salt, as long as it is cheaper than the public sale, the business will naturally be endless.
