Volume 1 The Wind Rises and the Clouds Fly Chapter 28 Wealth Obsessed with Money
That day, Long Xiao signed a contract and took fifty taels of silver, and returned home happily, seeing that Sihai couldn't wait at the door for a long time.
"Are you afraid that I will run away with the money, or are you afraid that I will not come back after living in Baifu?" Long Xiao shook the money bag in his hand and said teasing Sihai.
"Naturally, I'm afraid that you won't be able to pass the test and won't be able to get the money back, if you really can't get it back, then I'm not at a loss?" Sihai said as he looked at the money bag in Long Xiao's hand.
"I've never seen someone like you who fell into the eyes of money, and I'm afraid that I am more shrewd about money than the one who does business. Long Xiao handed the silver to Sihai and said.
Sihai took the heavy silver, had long forgotten Long Xiao's teasing just now, and said happily: "I'm actually afraid that you will be robbed on the street, since you got the silver today, we have to celebrate, how about I invite you to eat scallion roasted chicken noodle soup in a while." ”
Long Xiao touched his belly, which had already begun to growl, and thought, even if you still talk about morality.
After eating, Sihai and Long Nian walked around the street, there was a sense of relaxation that had not been seen for a long time, Long Nian chattered the names of the shops on both sides of the long street while walking, sighing at the prosperity of the capital, and Sihai lowered his head, as if he was counting something.
"Sihai, what are you thinking?" asked Long Xiao as he walked.
Sihai stretched out two arms and wrists to him and said: "Look at my two bracers, although the storage space is not small, but not beautiful enough, the last time I went to the spiritual weapon shop to buy it, I originally fell in love with the other one, much more beautiful than this, but unfortunately it is more expensive than twenty taels of silver, I am thinking that if I use these twenty taels of silver to exchange that pair back, how long can we use the remaining money, how many times can we go to the restaurant, and eat a few times with scallion roast chicken soup noodles." ”
"You can't spend so much money for fifty taels a month, so you can buy it if you like." Long Xiao said.
"At first glance, you have never been a homemaker, and you need money for food, clothing, and food in this city, but you are not as chic and happy as you are in the mountains. Sihai said with a glare.
Long Xiao really hadn't been in the city, and naturally he didn't know where to spend money, so he was silent, just listening to the chatter of the four seas.
"Needless to say, the clothes can be put on now, but you can't just put on this clothes, right? If you get sick again, and you need something urgent, I'm afraid you will have to toss a lot of silver. Forget it, let's go, let's talk about it when we get rich next month. After thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
After a while, Sihai led Long Xiao to a tailor shop and asked the tailor to measure Long Xiao and make a dress.
Long Xiao refused in his heart, but after all, he couldn't resist Sihai's enthusiasm, seeing Sihai busy with himself, Long Xiao suddenly had a long-lost warmth.
After strolling outside for an afternoon, it is rare for the mood of the four seas to be so bright, and when I get home, I am full of spring breeze, I don't know if it is because of the fifty taels of silver, or because of something else.
In fact, I have always been particularly interested in the technique of the Sihai flying talisman, but I know that she must be the door passed down by the family, so I have not been embarrassed to ask her, and she is happy to see her at this time, so I tried to test it: "Sihai, your hand talisman is really quite mysterious." ”
"I'm just a little trick, all I learn is some skin, the real talisman is powerful, a talisman can call the wind and rain, and even open up the world. Sihai said with both hands in an arc.
"I don't know what the requirements are for learning talismans?" Long Xiao asked, tilting his head and looking at Sihai.
Sihai raised his head and glanced at Long Xiao, looked him up and down, and said, "Do you want to learn talismans?" ”
Long Xiao himself also took a look at himself, and found that there was nothing abnormal, and he didn't understand what Sihai meant, so he widened his eyes and asked, "Why?
Sihai tucked the hair around his ears, pretended to cough deeply, and said: "Of course, this is not handsome enough, but there is another reason, that is, you need to at least enter the spirit gathering stage and understand what the aura is all about before you can enter the threshold of the rune path." ”
"I see. Long Xiao said.
Sihai no longer teased him, and continued: "Fu is actually a means to release spiritual power with the help of rune paper. If you want to learn, I can teach you. ”
"Is that runic path considered your family's mastery?" Long Xiao asked.
"My family is gone, what kind of family is it?" Sihai once again pulled the hair on his forehead and continued: "I'm afraid that one day when I die, there will really be no Zhang family in this world." ”
"Don't think so, we're still young, and we still have a long way to go. Long Xiao comforted.
Sihai turned his head, looked at Long Xiao with a serious face and said: "The library in Zhang's mansion is very hidden, my father once took me there, if you are interested, I will take you there another day." ”
"Let's wait until I enter the spirit gathering stage, I can't eat a fat man in one bite, and besides, I don't have that energy now. Long Xiao also looked at Sihai seriously and replied.
The two of them looked at each other, and Sihai actually laughed all of a sudden, which made Long Xiao inexplicable.
That night, Sihai had a sweet dream, in which she went to a place where there was her father and mother, hearty laughter, heartfelt words, and a broad and warm embrace.
Long Xiao didn't sleep all night, he continued to cultivate, wanting to advance to the spirit gathering stage as soon as possible, he knew that compared to other spirit masters, he had been too far behind.
The time of night is always short, and by the time Long Xiao returned to the sea of knowledge for the fifth time, the sky had already revealed the white of the fish's belly.
Long Xiao got up and stretched, got up to cook, and when he finished cooking, he quietly went out.
In fact, he used to get up early every morning to practice, which was an order given to him by his grandfather, but recently it has been delayed due to various things.
In the past few days, he has become much familiar with the capital, and the twelve streets of Bai Yu where they live are already considered to be the periphery of Kyoto, Long Xiao has observed, and then cross three streets to the outskirts of the city, where there is a jungle, and it is definitely a rare good place to practice light skills.
Long Xiao galloped all the way, and arrived in a short time.
Long Xiao tightened his robe and jumped up to the treetops, he was thinking about why there was such a big gap in light skills compared to the second uncle and Sihai, whether it was the wrong method, or if there was another trick.
Long Xiao tried to run the energy in his body, and scattered the water energy in his muscles and bones little by little, especially his legs, he really felt that his whole body had become much lighter, and his legs climbed hard, and his body swished to the higher branches, in this way, not only his strength, but also his speed increased a lot.
But after all, his spiritual power was limited, but after a few attempts, he began to feel strained, and fell to the ground to rest.
Sure enough, cultivators have unique conditions, no wonder everyone in the world aspires to become a monk, if I go hunting in the mountains at my current speed and light skills, I will definitely have a good harvest if I go hunting in the mountains again.
After resting for a while, Long Xiao practiced again until he was exhausted, and when he saw that the sky was already bright, he went home again.
When he got home, Sihai had already eaten, cleaned up the table, and his face looked good, so he said to her, "Will we go to Baifu together in a while, or will we go separately?"
"Go ahead, I've got something to do in a moment. Sihai took out some pieces of paper as thin as cicada's wings, and took out some books, as if he wanted to write some paper notes.
Long Xiao wanted to take a look at the process of making talismans in the four seas, but seeing that the time was almost up, he had to resign and go to Baifu.
Long Xiao entered the White Mansion through the side door, and followed the route last time to the square in front of the building.
There have been a lot of people gathered in that square, and it seems that Baifu has recruited a lot of people in the past two days, and there are more than a dozen.
It was the first day of registration, and those guests were all dressed gorgeously and decently, and they all looked extraordinary, in comparison, Long Xiao's body was a little shabby, Long Xiao was dressed neatly, and walked over with his chest up.
"Mo Weijia, why did you just come? I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Long Xiao heard a thick and loud scream, which caused everyone to look here, and seeing that Long Xiao was wearing some old clothes, many people threw a look of disdain.
Long Xiao was slightly stunned when he heard this name, and immediately came back to his senses, and greeted Liu Jiazhuang with a smile: "Brother Liu came early." ”
"My mother woke me up before dawn, for fear that I would miss the hour, and the door of Baifu had not yet opened when I came. ”
Liu Jiazhuang spoke honestly and loudly, which caused many people to laugh.
"It's time for now. ”
Long Xiao saw a middle-aged man come out of the small building and was beckoning everyone to be quiet.
