Although Wuzhen is not the oldest and most beautiful, it is the most well-known among them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The three of them got out of the car, and Liu Xun instantly liked it, a typical small bridge, flowing water, and people.
The buildings and surroundings on the street side are full of elegance.
Walking deeper along the side of the street, Xia Min stopped from time to time to close his eyes, and after a while, adjusted the direction of his progress.
"Sister Qingwan. Liu Xun chewed a rock sugar gourd in his mouth, and asked inarticulately, "Was China like this thousands of years ago?"
"Hmm. Li Qingwan looked at the bustling crowd, listened to the bargaining between customers and merchants, and also had a look of nostalgia on her face, "Except for people's clothes and some modern decorations, they are almost exactly the same." ”
"I'd love to feel it. Liu Xun sighed, Liu Xun's words made Xia Min snicker, the last time she watched a science fiction movie, she also said that she wanted to feel that kind of life.
Xia Min closed her eyes again, feeling the information in the air, and this time she seemed to have found a clear goal.
took the two girls back and forth in the streets and alleys, and after a while, they came to a slightly quiet alley.
"Found it. Xia Min said, and his tone seemed to be a little expectant.
There was no one but three people in the small alley, and there was only one shop at the end.
When I got closer, I saw the plaque "Si Gui" on the store, a very strange store name, Liu Xun looked at the store, a guy dressed as a man, was lying on the table playing with his mobile phone, except for a few chairs, and the small table next to the chair, nothing else, I couldn't guess what this store was selling.
Entering the store, the man looked up at the three of them, and shouted in the direction of the staircase, "Old man, there are three distinguished customers." ”
Liu Xun pulled Li Qingwan and asked, "Can you see Sister Qingwan?" The guy nodded and didn't speak, and then lay down and played with his mobile phone, obviously used to this kind of thing, and was not surprised to see Li Qingwan at all.
A voice came from upstairs, "Stinky boy, is it a guest or a distinguished guest?" "Listening to the voice is a man, not young.
The man lazily replied, "That's right, two people, one distinguished guest." ”
"Sister Qingwan..."Liu Xun pulled Li Qingwan and looked carefully with those big eyes, "When did you become a distinguished guest." ”
Li Qingwan was also a little confused, and had some doubts about the conversation between the two guys.
"Please three of you go upstairs. A voice came from upstairs, and this time there was some politeness in the words.
The three of them looked at each other, all a little confused.
"What kind of place is this?" Liu Xun asked Xia Min quietly.
"I don't know, I just have a feeling that I should be here. Xia Min replied, with the same surprise on her face.
It was Xia Min who stepped up the stairs first, and the second daughter followed.
I came to the second floor and checked it, except that the guy turned into a black-haired old man, it was no different from the furnishings on the first floor.
At this moment, the old man was standing next to the chair, and when he saw Li Qingwan go up to the second floor, he reacted.
"You may be seated. The old man said, and the three of them bowed.
When the confused three people sat down, the old man looked at Li Qingwan and said, "I don't know what your guests need?" Looking at the old man's expression, this sentence seemed to be very proficient, and he said it casually, without thinking at all.
"Huh?" Li Qingwan was surprised, not knowing what to say.
"Is it the first time for you to think about returning?" the old man seemed to notice Li Qingwan's puzzlement.
Li Qingwan nodded silently, and unconsciously, she exuded a cold and glamorous atmosphere.
"Well," said the old man, who was stunned for a moment, before he continued, "then I'll explain." ”
The old man stood up and walked a few steps, as if adjusting his thoughts, before he continued. "Ghosts, after the first seven, will enter the underworld and go through reincarnation. Speaking of which, he looked at the three of them, "You all know each other, right?"
All three nodded in understanding.
Then I went on to say that if there is something you don't understand, you can ask me. The old man continued, "But there are too many living beings in this world, and although the underworld of Huaxia has expanded many times, it still can't keep up with the growth rate of living beings. So there will be some ghosts who have not entered the underworld for various reasons. Maybe it's in line, or maybe it's been missed by the underworld. ”
Speaking of this, the old man felt a little embarrassed, and even his tone became a little more desolate.
"In the past, there would be cultivators to help deal with these things, but since 500 years ago, cultivators have to leave for some reason, so we have arranged for us to help deal with these matters. There are two main ways for us to deal with the return of thoughts, the first is that the ghost wants to enter reincarnation as soon as possible, so we will help to contact the underworld. Second, if the ghost wants to do something for his family before he died, he can also come to us. Of course, there are some other things. ”
"How to contact the prefecture? Liu Xun asked.
"We don't have auras and spells per se. The old man replied, his expression a little proud, "They are all using the magic weapons cultivated by those cultivators. ”
Liu Xun nodded, and asked again, "How can you see Sister Qingwan?"
"Don't you also have yin and yang eyes?" the old man asked rhetorically, "Our industry, passed down from generation to generation, is born with yin and yang eyes. Looking at Xia Min, there was some suspicion in the eyes of the two, this is basic common sense, how could the two not understand?
"The underworld of China. When Li Qingwan heard this, she was slightly stunned, "Is there anything else?"
"Naturally. The old man replied, "Although they are all cultivation civilizations, each country has its own settings. The West, for example, is more fantastical. And we are Xianxia's. All three nodded, and their postures increased.
"I don't know if there is something to ask for, what price does it cost?" Xia Min filtered the old man's words and asked questions, looking at what the old man said, it didn't seem that he was helping for free?
"It doesn't cost anything, just you, to be able to maintain your good heart. The old man then said, "Also, if there is something that needs your help in the future, you should try to help each other, that is, to form a good fate." ”
Speaking of this, the old man turned his head to Li Qingwan again, "I don't know what your guests need?"
Hearing this, Xia Min already understood that this was the back hand of the ancestor again, and he could think of something from the name of the store. Xia Min admired their layout very much, and was just thinking about it for the time being.
"Haha..."Liu Xun grabbed the corner of Li Qingwan's clothes and said, "Sister Qingwan, what do you need, say it quickly." Liu Xun's expression was a little playful, as if he wanted to see Li Qingwan make a joke.
"Well, are you a fellow practitioner?" Before Li Qingwan could speak, the old man asked.
"Ah, what are you talking about?" Hearing this, Liu Xun stared at the old man with wide eyes, very puzzled.
"Ordinary people can't touch ghosts, do you also have magic weapons?" Before Xia Min could answer, the old man seemed to remember something and asked Li Qingwan. "Or is your cultivation already able to condense entities?"
Li Qingwan smiled and didn't speak, just looked at Xia Min.
Facing the old man's puzzled gaze, Xia Min didn't speak immediately, but thought for a while before asking the old man, "What do you call it?"
"My surname is Liu, Liu Xingsi, you can call me Lao Liu. I didn't know why, but I still answered.
Xia Min got up and walked in front of Lao Liu, circled around, and put his hand on Lao Liu's shoulder. After a while, he withdrew his hand and said, "Thank you." ”
Xia Min looked at the inexplicable Lao Liu and didn't explain, and asked again, "How many of you people are there?"
Although Lao Liu was very eccentric, this question was not confidential, so he replied, "There are 36 Sigui stores in the entire Huaxia, and there are a total of 108 related personnel. After answering the question, Lao Liu looked at Xia Min, probably waiting for Xia Min to answer his doubts.
Xia Min didn't speak, just nodded, and her figure seemed to shake. Lao Liu Xin said, "When people are old, their eyes are not good." ”
Rubbing his eyes, he found that there were a large number of small stones beside Xia Min, and at a cursory glance, there were thousands of them.
Lao Liu stood up in shock and walked next to Xia Min, at this moment, Xia Min's hands were covering the stone pile, emitting a dazzling light, and the guys downstairs were also alarmed, and ran up to the second floor in three or two steps.
The action of converting stones into jade, Xia Min was already very proficient, and in a short time, thousands of jades with talisman formations were created.
Xia Min turned around, a pair of thick eyebrows moved rapidly, and looked at Lao Liu smiling silently.
"Five...... Five...... It's been five hundred years. I," Liu stammered, "I...... My Liu family has also been passed down for twenty-three generations. It's finally time to wait. In an instant, the old tears were rampant. The guy was also very excited, hugging Lao Liu and crying.
This time, Xia Min didn't use the truth to appease them, just waited quietly beside them. At this time, crying is the best vent.
It was a long ten minutes, it was indeed a long time, and it was sad to listen to the crying, and all three of them thought the same way.
"It's ugly. Lao Liu came back to his senses, and still said with some excitement, "I don't know the immortal chief, what are your orders for coming this time?"
Xia Min gave a complete introduction to Lao Liu about the current situation.
"Do these treasures have talisman formations?" Lao Liu, who heard the completion of the journey, was a little dumbfounded. looked at Xia Min, "How rebellious is this cultivation going to be, how much is it going to be to make magic weapons in batches?"
"Well, I want all of you to take a few for spare, and then take out the rest to make a good karma. Xia Min explained.
"Okay. Got it. Lao Liu has no other ideas except for the reflex answer, this is too loser.
Xia Min seemed to have the ability to read minds, and continued, "At present, I have no other plans, I just want to do as much as I can, and try to change people's hearts." ”
"Yes, that's safe. Lao Liu replied, "I know how to do it." We think that all the personnel are prepared for the immortal elder, please command if necessary. ”
"I remember that Baoyu can only be given to people with good intentions, those whose hearts have been completely degenerated, they can be saved, and if they can't be saved, forget it. Xia Min told Lao Liu about his plan, "Use Baoyu to make good connections, and then expand your influence, change the hearts of the people around you, and prepare for the return of the Xiuzhen civilization." ”
After leaving Lao Liu his contact information. The three of them said goodbye to Lao Liu.
Walk the streets of Wuzhen.
"What's next?" Liu Xun asked suspiciously, looking at Xia Min's appearance a little hurried, thinking that he had something to do.
"Go home and keep messing around. Xia Min replied without thinking, with a smile on his face, and his thick eyebrows trembled.
"Ahh Liu Xun said a little angrily: "Then you still told Lao Liu that you have something to do." Isn't that a lie?"
"That's right. Xia Min still said very calmly: "Go back and open a store to sell Baoyu." ”
"Let Lao Liu and them make good connections, expand their influence and develop secretly. Liu Xun said and raised his voice a lot, "You go back and open that little shop by yourself, do you think it's embarrassing?" Liu Xun's attitude towards Xia Min is a little unbearable, and it's not like this to let go.
"Hey, hey. Xia Min smiled evilly, "I thought about it a long time ago, I moved my mouth and ran a broken leg below, how could I not try it!"
Liu Xun tilted his head angrily, didn't say a word, and his little face was bulging, but he looked even more cute.
Many pedestrians looked at Xia Min angrily, especially the male pedestrian.
"Huh. Li Qingwan snickered slightly, and floated to Liu Xun's side, "Xia Min is deliberately angry with you, don't you realize that everything he does has his own goals? And I don't think there's any need to look for things to do, things will come to the door by themselves." ”
"It's not ordinary to live for a long time. Xia Min praised and stretched out his thumb to Li Qingwan.
This time, even Li Qingwan pursed her lips, tilted her head and was silent.
Regardless of the reaction of the two women, in short, Xia Min is overjoyed, and this merit is simply not too much.
Merit Value: Three hundred and twenty-six. 》
I don't know what Sigui will do, but at that time, there was an extra hundred merits, and when Baoyu went out in the future, it is estimated that there will be more.
Planetary Improvement: Three Percent. 》
What makes Xia Min excited is that the improvement of the earth has finally improved, and it seems that the people who think of returning are of great use.
