Chapter 020: Ten Taels
Twenty days is a relatively long period of time, Gong Huaiming decided to arrange the itinerary in these twenty days, just staying on the boat and reciting the "Qi Trick", it will definitely not work. This is the territory of the Hundred Flowers Palace, and it is a place where a large number of cultivators live. If you are lucky, you may be able to gain the appreciation of a certain cultivator and ask the other party some questions that have been bothering Gong Huaiming for a long time.
Of course, this can only be said to be Gong Huaiming's extravagance, not to mention whether he can meet the cultivator, even if he takes a step back, if he really touches it, why should the other party guide him. Is it because of his sincerity?
Although cultivators and laymen live under the same blue sky, they are basically people from two worlds, especially among cultivators, there is a common idea of despising and disdaining people to interact with them, which is the biggest obstacle for laymen to get close to cultivators.
Gong Huaiming told Xu Zhongda to take leave, saying that he wanted to go around the Yongyi Islands, and when it was time to lift the anchor, he would return on time. Xu Zhongda was worried that he was unfamiliar with his life and would cause some unnecessary misunderstandings, so he wanted to arrange someone for him to be a guide. Gong Huaiming wanted to find the footprints of the cultivator, how could he let people accompany him, so he politely declined Xu Zhongda's kindness.
Xu Zhongda was inconvenient to forcibly arrange, thought about it, and took a sea chart of the Yongyi Islands from the cabin and gave it to Gong Huaiming, which was very clearly marked with the name of each island in the Yongyi Islands, what specialties were on it, and what needed to be paid attention to. Gong Huaiming was the time when his eyes were black, Xu Zhongda's gift was exactly what he liked, Gong Huaiming did not refuse this time, and after repeatedly expressing his gratitude to Xu Zhongda, he accepted it.
"Shaodong, you just let Gong Huaiming go, aren't you afraid that he won't come back?" Xu Hu, who was standing beside Xu Zhongda and was introduced by him as a confidant, asked.
Xu Zhongda smiled, "I treat people with integrity, and I believe that I will also gain sincerity." I think Gong Huaiming seems to be a trustworthy person, and he shouldn't say goodbye without saying goodbye. Besides, he is not familiar with the Yongyi Islands, and I don't think he will use the Yongyi Islands as his place to stay. ”
Xu Hu said: "Gong Huaiming is a character, not very old, but brave and strategic, if the young owner cultivates it well, he may be able to take over Uncle Wang's class in the future and become the new captain of the escort team." ”
Xu Zhongda nodded, he did have such a plan, but he didn't know if Gong Huaiming was this material, and he also had to take a good look at Gong Huaiming's loyalty, the captain of the escort team was one of the more core figures in the Xu family's firm, and it would definitely not work without loyalty.
Gong Huaiming didn't know that Xu Zhongda had already started to cultivate him, if he knew, he wouldn't care too much, the emperor he had done it all, how could he look at the captain of the guard of the small Xu firm. Seeing the various miracles of cultivators and their status in the minds of ordinary people, Gong Huaiming's heart unconsciously underwent tremendous changes.
Now even if Emperor Chenghua sincerely cedes the throne to him, Gong Huaiming will not do it, he is now wholeheartedly going to embark on the road of cultivation, no matter how powerful Emperor Chenghua is, in the final analysis, it is not a chess piece in Gong Tianyou's hands, in the end, he still can't get rid of the fate of being at the mercy of others.
Gong Huaiming got out of the dock, found a teahouse, asked for a private room, and asked for a pot of tea, and after instructing the shopkeeper not to disturb him, he began to study the atlas. The first thing he looked for was the clues about the cultivators revealed in the chart book. This research really allowed him to find out some useful information.
The Yongyi Islands are a typical place where cultivators and secular people live together, here, the Baihua Palace headed by the Hundred Flowers Fairy is a pyramid-like existence, occupying the most spiritual and best islands in the Yongyi Islands. Under the Hundred Flowers Palace, there are still some sporadic cultivators. They are either small sects, or some loose cultivators who have no sects and no sects, and those who are a little more powerful can still occupy a half of the islands in the Yongyi Islands, and most of them are weaker and only live with secular people.
Without exception, these cultivators are all attached to the Hundred Flowers Palace, and they all have to rely on the Hundred Flowers Palace's snort, and all of their combined strength is not enough to fight against the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Through the study of the atlas, Gong Huaiming discovered that on an island called Mingxin Island, there was a place for cultivators to do business, called Baihuafang City. Gong Huaiming decided to try his luck in Baihuafang City, even if he couldn't make friends with cultivators, he could see if he could buy books that introduced the common knowledge of cultivation, and if the price was right, he would buy them, in that case, he could practice the "Qi Induction Technique" alone.
There is a passenger boat directly to Mingxin Island on Baihua Island, and the ticket is a bit expensive, costing a whole tael of silver. But even so, the passenger ship was already full of people, and after Gong Tianyou got on the boat, it took him a long time to find a place where he could sit down reluctantly.
The straight-line distance between Baihua Island and Mingxin Island was not far, and after about a stick of incense (forty minutes) downwind, the passenger ship docked. As soon as Gong Huaiming walked out of the hatch, he heard someone shouting, "Look, there is an immortal master in the sky." ”
Gong Huaiming looked up, and sure enough, several cultivators were flying over their heads, and they were stepping on sword-like spiritual weapons under their feet, with a dashing and heroic demeanor, which was enviable. Immediately, someone knelt on the ground and shouted "God bless".
Gong Huaiming asked the boatman how to get to Baihuafang City, and then went ashore and went straight to his destination. Fang Market is in the middle of Mingxin Island, built on the highest part of a hill, Fang Market is the industry of Baihua Palace, and it is one of the profit tools of Baihua Palace.
The secular people who come to Mingxin Island, except for the residents of the main island, basically come to Baihuafang City, which is the most likely place in the Yongyi Islands to come into close contact with cultivators. In this world, Gong Huaiming is not the only one who has a heart to cultivate the truth and learn the Tao, dreaming of being able to gain the appreciation of a certain immortal master, and the person who accepts himself as a disciple will grab a lot of them on Mingxin Island.
The periphery of Baihuafang City is a wall, and four gates are opened in the east, west, north and south, and each gate is guarded. Gong Huaiming chose the closest door to him, and was about to break in, but the big man guarding the door stretched out his hand to stop him, "Boy, don't break in." Before you enter the city, take a look at the sign. ”
Gong Huaiming looked in the direction pointed by the big man's finger, and there was a tall sign not far from the gate, with only a few big characters on it, "Fang City Entry, Cultivation is free, and secular people have ten taels of silver tattoos, and Tong Su is inevitable." ”
Gong Huaiming smacked his tongue secretly, ten taels of silver is not a small amount, in his hometown, he can almost buy three or four thousand catties of rice, and it is just a ticket money here.
In order to find what you need, you have to enter no matter how expensive it is. Gong Huaiming gritted his teeth, took out a dozen taels of scattered silver from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to the big man guarding the door. Dahan weighed the amount of silver with his hand, and then let him go sideways.
Thank you "Liu C" for the tip, thank you.
