Chapter 228 Accession to the WTO
If Lu Xu didn't take the initiative to speak out, with his body half-lying in the river, I believe that the other party would not be able to easily find him, but immediately Lu Xu's hesitation was completely abandoned.
Because a yellow-haired hound appeared strangely near Lu Xu, only a dozen feet away from him, cruising uncertainly, and there was a barking dog in his mouth. And the sound is very loud and melodious, and it can be heard clearly within a radius of 100 zhang.
Lu Xu let out a long breath, the current situation, even if he planned to kill this hound, he would definitely not be able to do it, so he could only wait quietly.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the ground to shake slightly, and it seemed that something was speeding towards him.
After a burst of low footsteps, a big man with a beard on his face came to Lu Xu's vicinity, and two figures stopped in the distance, all of them looked at Lu Xu by the river without saying a word, with suspicion in their eyes.
Lu Xu's head tilted and glanced at these people.
Immediately, my heart was slightly relieved.
There were three men in total, and in front of them was a burly man in his early forties, dressed in a gray-blue jacket, with a tattered animal skin on his upper body, a hunting longbow on his back, and an iron fork in his hand.
Behind him was a man in his early twenties, carrying a bow, and carrying three or four long feathered pheasants hunting and shivering in the wind.
He was only seven or eight years old, wearing a torn sheepskin jacket and carrying a bow, and was looking at Lu Xu curiously.
Lu Xu looked at these people at the same time, these three people seemed to see that Lu Xu's situation was inappropriate, and their originally tight faces relaxed a little, but they still didn't look like they approached at will.
Among them, the strong man in his forties suddenly turned his head and said something to a young man on the side, and the young man immediately came over and dragged Lu Xu up from the river.
The young man immediately said something to Lu Xu that he couldn't understand at all, and seeing that Lu Xu didn't react at all, he frowned and looked at Lu Xu several times before saying something to the big man.
......
The summer is nine years and the winter is looking forward to spring, and the whole winter is exceptionally cold.
In Qinghe City in the morning, the warm sun gradually showed a smiling face, shining on the whole city, and the temperature was rising rapidly. The thick fog gradually dissipated, the hoarfrost attached to the grass, and the cold wind blew from time to time, taking away a trace of the warmth brought by the sun.
"Huh-" In the city, in an old small courtyard, under the stump of a dead tree, Lu Xu slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity and woke up from his knees.
After a night of breathing, he tried to sense the aura of heaven and earth, but helplessly, the effect was very small, and he didn't feel the slightest bit for half a month.
For a moment, Lu Xu felt that the entire sky was gray.
Ever since Lu Xu was rescued back to the city by those three hunters half a month ago, he has been repeating this action.
Lu Xu knew that he had come to another small world, but the spatial laws of this small world were much more broken than the outside world, so he suppressed the monks everywhere. If he expected it to be correct, his divine consciousness would be suppressed, and other aspects would also be suppressed, such as the difficulty of flying the imperial weapon, the difficulty of moving, and so on.
Yes, this is his guess, because Lu Xu is now an ordinary mortal at all, and he doesn't know if it is the reason why he is involved in the black crack in the black mist, he has no mana at all now, and even his divine sense has been lost.
Generally speaking, if the monk only ran out of mana, his divine sense should be fine, so Lu Xu guessed that he might have lost his cultivation.
Moreover, this small world is not only suppressed in these aspects, in fact, in this space, the cultivation speed and breakthrough difficulty have also been greatly suppressed, and the difficulty is much greater than before. Even the spiritual energy of this small world is desperate, according to Lu Xu's calculations, with his spiritual root qualifications, even if he cultivates for a thousand years, he will definitely not be able to reach the late stage of the qi refining period, let alone build a foundation.
"Cookbread, cookbread ......"
After sleeping for more than an hour, the sound of selling outside the yard sounded, Lu Xu was still a little sleepy, but he had to get up, and the shop was still open for business today.
Without cultivation, Lu Xu naturally couldn't do Bigu, and the feeling of being sleepy without sleeping at night also found him after many years.
Stretching his waist, after Lu Xu washed up briefly, he put on a shabby green robe and cloth shoes and went out to eat something at Lao Litou's breakfast stall on the street.
Lao Li is in his fifties, with a dark face and wrinkles, but he is an honest and diligent person, and his children are all responsible people who do small business in the city. In order to earn some money for his youngest son to marry his daughter-in-law, he and his wife and wife opened a breakfast stall on the side of Chengdong Street.
"Lu Gongzi is up, what to eat?"
"A bowl of bean curd, half a catty of flatbread, as usual-" Lao Li's bean curd, very good, smooth and soft and fragrant, covered with a layer of secret sauce that is said to be handed down by the ancestors, is very delicious.
"A bowl of bean curd, add green onions, and half a catty of fresh flatbread......"
"Lao Li's shouting is full of anger—"
"No, I look at the city, a few breakfast stalls, and Lao Li's business here is thriving, and he can earn a lot of silver a month!"
"I heard that the sow of Lao Ding's family gave birth to eight cubs yesterday, and the sow ......"
"Well, it's delicious!" Zhang Weidong said casually. "Uncle Li, how is the business lately. ”
"It's okay, Lu Gongzi, are you planning to settle in Qinghe City? Are you married?" Lao Li Tou brought Lu Xu a small bowl of clear soup and asked casually.
"That's what it means, I've rented that yard for three years, and I plan to settle down for a long time, but I'm not familiar with the place, I don't have anything to grow, and I haven't married, what's the matter, Uncle Li, can't you plan to be a matchmaker for me?" Lu Xu said with a smile, and he also said casually.
"Don't say it, there is really such a stubble, if you are interesting, when you are done, I will talk to you, the other girl is thirteen years old, although the family is not rich, but the girl is beautiful, and she is also a responsible family. Lao Li's eyes lit up, and he immediately took over the conversation and said. "You drink first, I'm busy, you think about it!"
After speaking, Lao Li Tou continued to be busy.
Lu Xu was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled. He didn't put this at ease, he is in his twenties this year, and the girl is only thirteen years old, if he was a junior high school student in his previous life, this generation gap is not small. In addition, he came to this world unexpectedly, so naturally he didn't think about getting married.
Moreover, immortal cultivators have an extremely long lifespan, not just a hundred years. But ordinary people will turn into a cup of loess after a hundred years. Once combined with ordinary people, the result may be to face a day between life and death.
However, Lao Li Tou is also well-intentioned, and he still wants to receive this love.
Lu Xu quickly drank the bean curd, ate the flatbread, paid and left. For this kind of thing, he has no interest in it, and it is better to spit it out for a while if he has this time, and strive to sense the aura of heaven and earth as soon as possible.
This step is very important, and Lu Xu is now eager to make several paragraphs in a day.
Every day, many people in the neighborhood are talking about what happened to some people, and it is already a routine. These people are often from relatively well-to-do families, otherwise they wouldn't have come out for breakfast, some old and some young, and they are still secretive when they talk about things, as if they really know a lot of rare things in the city. If you have the heart to sit here every day, you can hear what chickens and dogs are running, and what things are upside down.
However, these people don't know Lu Xu, and Lu Xu doesn't want to know them. Come here every day to eat breakfast, listen quietly to the leisure, and leave after eating, without any intersection.
......
Since Lu Xu has no cultivation and can't do Bigu, then the biggest problem is - eating. He has no long things, the storage bag and spirit beast bag on his body are gone, even here, he can't open it without mana. As a last resort, Lu Xu had to find a job in the city.
After all, he is a person who has cultivated in the foundation building period, and even if his cultivation is lost now, there are two things that will not be lost. The first is the physical body that has been tempered by the first layer of the Dragon Elephant Shifting Exercise, and the second is the immortal cultivator's unforgettable brain, which surpasses the comprehension and understanding of ordinary people.
It took three days for Lu Xu to learn the official dialect here, which allowed him to find a job. Being the bookkeeper of an antique shop is the reason why he is literate and can keep accounts.
As the saying goes, antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times, the founding of the Dakang Dynasty has been more than 500 years now, and now it is considered to be the country and the people.
The old door of an old house on Chang'an Street was opened, and the shop where Lu Xu worked was open for business, there was only an old table and a few wooden shelves inside, so the shop was empty.
In addition, there is a shopkeeper, a buddy, and then Lu Xu's account office.
Lu Xu was sitting behind the table, with an account book on the table, in a bored daze, or looking at the pedestrians on the street. He is indeed very idle, in fact, he can only be regarded as a part-time employee, just take stock of the accounts every month, and the natural remuneration is also pitiful. And Lu Xu chose to do this job, firstly, he really needed money, and secondly, he saw if he could find something about cultivating immortals here. He always had a feeling that the world shouldn't be so simple.
In the morning, there are more people on the streets of the city, buying groceries, shopping, setting up stalls, etc., which is very lively. Speaking of which, although Qinghe City is a small city, its prosperity is not low. Although the area is small, there are seven or eight large streets, and the population is more than 200,000 residents, and the transportation is developed.
The sign of "Yi Gu Xuan" is directly above the façade, don't look at the small shop, but the business is really good. And this meaning Gu Xuan has a origin, it is a branch opened by the ancient family of Taizhou in Qinghe City.
Yi Gu Xuan, in essence, is the leader of the antique industry in Qinghe City, compared with other antique shops in the city, the background is much deeper, and the platform is much stronger. There are buys, there are sales, and last but not least, it also collects some strange things.
This is what differentiates it from other shops.
But there is also a common, antique shop, there is a saying that if you don't open for a year, you will open for three years, and as long as you make a sum, any profits will come back.
From morning to noon, other people's business is booming and carried out in an orderly manner, but Yi Guxuan is stunned that there are only two or three people, but collecting antiques and opening this kind of shop is like this, you can't expect to have business every day.
