Chapter 10 The Buying and Selling of Cottages

Time flies, three days have passed, and Li Wumang has recorded according to the "Peeping Method". A total of 81 days of practice. The inner vision meridians have been washed from blue-white cultivation to white. Reached the realm of the three layers of qi training.

The current Li Wumang already has the cultivation of the third level of Qi training, which is the same as Ma Kui's cultivation that day.

"Peeping Dao Decision" said: Practice the three layers of qi, and mortals stab with a sword, and between the stabs, I can strike nine times. Li Wumang thought: I stabbed eight swords, that person has not finished stabbing a sword, and there are eight holes in his body, how can he stab it? It seems that he should be a real master.

Earlier, I only knew that my internal strength had reached the top level of the Great Yang Heart Method. It's a pity that there is no fist and foot kung fu, and competing with Changshan is also a competition for internal strength. Now it seems that even if you don't have swordsmanship, you can win the sword competition with others. The same should be true for fist and foot kung fu.

Li Wumang lifted the knife, walked out of the cave, and carried the exercises of "Peeping Dao Decision". I tried my best to stab nine times, full of suspicions, and it wasn't faster than before?

Li Wumang's dry food was also eaten, and he put the "Peep Dao Jue" back to its original place, and went down the mountain to return to Fuguang Village.

"Big boss, you've lost a lot of weight. Hei Taisui looked at Li Wumang and felt a little distressed.

Li Wumang whispered: "There is nothing to eat on the top of the mountain, how can you not lose weight with just a few pieces of dry food?"

Hei Tai Sui smiled and didn't ask anything else.

"Uncle Hei, I want to meet Yixi Daoist. ”

"Oh, the big boss wants to know about the immortal cultivators?"

Li Wumang nodded, "Wumang is a little curious. ”

"I'll ask people to go and I'll be there tomorrow. ”

In the evening of the next day, Yixi Dao Chang arrived at Fuguang Village, Hei Taisui accompanied him to tea in the hall, Li Wumang walked in from outside, the two saw each other, and Li Wumang also sat down.

"The big boss is looking for the poor Dao, but he is here to understand the affairs of the immortal cultivators?" said Yixi Daoist straight to the point.

"Wumang is lonely and unheard, and I also ask the Taoist to give advice. "I didn't call Yixi Dao the owner of the village anymore.

"Poor Dao became a monk at the age of ten, and there is no magic, an uncle of the Taoist temple is nearly 100 years old, and he knows some stories of immortal cultivators, tell me to listen, I don't know the truth, and the aunt of the big boss listens to it. ”

"I want to hear about it. Li Wumang looked deaf.

"Immortal cultivators are divided into four cultivators: human and demonic cultivators, and those who have just entered the Tao are practicing qi, with a total of nine layers. Even at the ninth layer, it is not much different from mortals. Yu Xiuxian is still a layman on the way. Thousands of people who have achieved qi training, it is rare for one person to be able to build a foundation. There are three layers of foundation, which are divided into the early, middle, and late stages. Immortal cultivators who build the foundation can reach one in a hundred in the later stage. After the foundation is built, it is a knot, and it is difficult for one person to come out of a thousand people who can build a knot. Only those who form pills are considered immortal cultivators. It is also divided into early, middle and late stages. Yixi Dao said a lot in one breath.

Yixi Daoist took a sip of tea. "After the knotted pill is the Yuan Infant Period, and I don't know how many cultivators of the knot pill have one person who has cultivated the Yuan Infant. The Yuan Infant Period, like the Yudan Period, is divided into early, middle, and late stages. ”

"Dao Chief, this is almost the same, right?" Li Wumang heard it, this is also too difficult.

Yixi Daoren smiled. "After that, there is the merger period and the transformation period, and each period is also divided into three levels. Those who don't have great fortunes can't cultivate this realm. ”

"The path to immortality is so difficult?" Li Wumang was full of doubts

Yixi Daodao: "Immortals are anti-heavenly beings, you can imagine how difficult it is." ”

"Dao Chief, are you an immortal in the Transformation Period?"

"It's not, after the completion of the transformation of the gods, you can fly to the immortal realm, and then you will be an immortal. ”

"Isn't there no immortal in this world?" Li Wumang was a little disappointed.

Yixi Daoist replied, "The highest level of our plane is only an immortal cultivator in the god transformation stage. ”

Li Wumang didn't know what the plane was, and he didn't bother to ask.

Yixi continued: "Immortal cultivators have sects like the mortal world, and immortal cultivators without sects are called scattered cultivators. ”

"Could it be that immortal cultivators also fight?"

Yixi Daoren took another sip of tea. "Fighting, the killing between immortal cultivators is more bloody and ferocious than mortals. ”

"Why?" Li Wumang felt unimaginable.

"In order to compete for the exercises, pills, and magic weapons, and also to vent anger, it is similar to mortals. In Yixi's tone, these are ordinary things.

"How did the exercises, pills, and magic weapons come from?" Li Wumang thought about taking pills when cultivating as mentioned in the "Peeping Dao Jue".

"The exercises are inherited, and the magic weapons of the elixir have both inheritance and self-refining. ”

"Wouldn't it be hopeless to cultivate immortals without these?"

Yixi Daoren smiled. "That's for sure, so the immortal cultivators are somewhat similar to our green forest, and there is nothing to grab. ”

"It's okay to rob it?" Li Wumang was a little unacceptable.

"The rules of immortal cultivators are made by the strong, and killing and snatching is very reasonable. ”

Li Wumang was silent, the phoenix essence blood of his dantian would definitely become a reason to be killed when he encountered an immortal cultivator. Thinking that he is also a third-level Qi cultivator, and there is no master sect, it should be regarded as a loose cultivation.

"Isn't it dangerous to practice casually?" Li Wumang was worried about himself.

"That's not necessarily, casual cultivation will not compete with the sect's immortal cultivators. Or join the sect or make friends with the people of the sect, or stay away from the people in the sect, and besides, it is not easy for them to obtain the precious elixir magic weapon, so no person in the sect will kill them for no reason. "Yixi Daoist told the truth.

"Why haven't you seen an immortal cultivator?" Li Wumang was a little curious.

"More than three hundred years ago, there were some immortal cultivators in the Acura area, and it is said that Acura is full of spiritual energy and is suitable for immortal cultivators to cultivate. After the chrysanthemum cloud appeared in the sky, the immortal cultivators were gone, and they said that they went to the other side of Damang Mountain, our continent is called Fengli Continent, and Acura is only a very small area. "The people of Yixi Dao also know this legend.

"Dao Chief, why don't all mortals go to cultivate?"

Yixi Daoist nodded and said, "Cultivating immortals must have spiritual roots." ”

"What is a spiritual root?"

"I don't know, the spiritual roots of immortal cultivators are not understood by mortals, and there is and there is innate. "For the spiritual root, Yixi has never figured it out.

"Then is there a spiritual root, don't you know?" Li Wumang felt that the matter of the immortal cultivator was indeed mysterious.

"Yes, in the past, when Acura had a sect of immortal cultivators, it would choose a young man with a spiritual root among mortals as an apprentice. Not anymore. Yixi continued: "The most important thing is luck, and it is in vain for those who have no great luck to have spiritual roots, and it is difficult to escape the fate of death." ”

Li Wumang understood that as an immortal cultivator, he must first have a spiritual root, followed by exercises and pills, and finally a fortune path. Nothing is not rare.

Li Wumang stood up and saluted. "Thank you for your advice. ”

Yixi Taoist stood up and smiled. "The big boss is too polite. Poor Taoism is also hearsay. "I returned the favor. It was dark while talking, Li Wumang Hei Tai Sui accompanied a happy Taoist to dinner, drank and chatted, and when he arrived, he slept separately, and a happy Taoist went back to Hongfei Village in the morning.

Li Wumang said to Hei Tai Sui: "It will take a few days for the goods from the cottage to come back, so I will go to the top of the mountain for a few days." ”

"Okay, be careful. ”

......

Li Wumang brought an extra quilt this time, and it was not good to meditate on the stone couch every day. When he crossed the stone beam, when he saw the black snake appear, Li Wumang closed his eyes, and when he opened it again, the black snake was gone.

When I arrived at the Floating Light Blessed Land Cave, I began to practice the "Peep Dao Decision" again, and seven days passed. It is still the cultivation of the third layer of Qi cultivation, Li Wumang was a little disappointed, I don't know if it is because there is no pill, it seems that the phoenix essence blood is not omnipotent.

The path of cultivating immortals is very difficult, and after reaching the three-layer cleansing of the qi and pulses, there must be a process of consolidating cultivation. Li Wumang got the help of the phoenix essence blood, I don't know how much faster than ordinary immortal cultivators, immortal cultivators don't have three years of hard work day and night, and it is impossible to cultivate to this level.

Although the seven-day cultivation did not break through the three layers of Qi cultivation, the meridians of Li Wumang were more pure and powerful, and it was an indispensable process in cultivation. Li Wumang didn't know it himself. Early in the morning of the eighth day, Li Wumang returned to Fuguang Village.

It happened that at noon, the goods of the cottage partnership arrived at the foot of the mountain, and Li Wumang and Hei Tai Sui got a report and went down the mountain to see. Full of 10 truckloads of goods. Chang Shan of Qingfeng Village personally escorted the car, met politely, the three of them had dinner in Fuguang Village, and went to Hongye Town together.

"The goods are in the warehouse, and there are our people Zhang Luo. People from several businesses in Anzhou have been waiting here for two days, and I estimate that it will only take half an hour for the transaction to be completed. We went to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to music. "Hei Tai Sui has a wide heart.

"Tea one day I invited, today to see the transaction, after all, it is the first business, I also watch a lively. Chang Shan didn't go to tea.

The three of them entered the warehouse.

The guys in the warehouse are waiting, and the shopkeeper invited by Fuguang Village saw a few Hei Tai Sui and came up to greet him. "The owner, now that the goods are going to be shipped, you can do your own thing, and I can't greet you. Hei Tai Sui waved his hand with a smile on his face, "Shopkeeper, you're busy." ”

The shopkeeper is an expert, and he will deliver and order the goods after a while. The cashier of the shipment was only half an hour later, and the accounts came out.

The shopkeeper came over, "The owner, half a month to get fifty cars, now ten is too little, several old friends said that I am not enough to be friendly, not enough to give goods." ”

"Shopkeeper, let's not talk about the future, have you made any money this time? Chang Shan was a little anxious.

The shopkeeper's face is full of spring breeze, "There is no reason not to make money in exclusive trading, and I have 10,000 taels of silver to stock here." There is a sixty percent benefit from coming and going. I earned 6,000 taels, and in addition to your expenses, how can I also have 5,500 taels. ”

Chang Shan asked, "How much do you have to earn for those fifty big cars?"

"You can make less money if you have enough goods, in addition to the use, there are also 300,000 taels of input throughout the year. ”

"How can it be five or six hundred thousand taels, how can the shopkeeper calculate it?" Chang Shan didn't understand for a while.

"You don't know, the wilderness is covered with snow in winter, and it takes three or four months, and the road is not easy to walk in the spring. ”

"Black village master, let's scrape together more silver, can we use fifty cars?" Chang Shan got the sweetness, and naturally wanted to make the business bigger.

"This time I said thirty cars, and you said ten cars to try first. Hei Tai Sui turned out the previous account.

"Didn't you say you hadn't done it?" Chang Shan smiled,

"What does the big boss say?" asked Hei Tai Sui

Li Wumang smiled: "Uncle Hei is in charge." ”

"Okay, just fifty cars. Fuguang Village first advanced silver. The owner of Changzhai went back to tell sΓΉ a happy word. Hei Tai Sui waved his hand happily.

"I'll send the silver to Fuguang Village together. Tsuneyama was happy.

"Not necessarily. Wait until the next business is done. I will not charge you interest. Hearing Hei Tai Sui's words, the three of them all laughed.

Out of the warehouse, the three of them went to a teahouse to sit.

"Today, I please. Chang Shan spoke first.

"Master Changzhai, it's only a few copper coins to drink tea, and you said please?"

"Today's tea, the wine to be held, and the evening drama are all invited, right?" Chang Shan smiled.

"It's about the same, the two of you will sit down first, I'll go and make up the silver, there are still more than 30,000 taels of fifty carts. Hei Tai Sui went out after speaking.

"Although the big boss is young, he has an idea to do business, and the first trip is done, and we rough people are very admired. Chang Shan poured tea for Li Wumang.

"I'm also cranky, the owner of Changzhai has won the award. "Li Wumang is very humble.

"This silver is also easier to earn, I can't believe it, what about thirty thousand taels in a Chinese New Year's Eve?" Chang Shan sighed a little.

Li Wumang's cultivation of the third layer of Qi cultivation is also very different from the past.

"The owner of Changzhai must have something to worry about, maybe there will be twists and turns in this business. ”

"It doesn't seem like a problem. Chang Shan was stunned.

After a while, Hei Tai Sui came back. When he entered the door, he said, "It's okay." The convoy can depart the day after tomorrow. Hei Tai Sui sat down, "The money is all raised, and tomorrow the merchants in Gaozhou will deliver the goods." ”

Chang Shan smiled: "There are still things in this Red Leaf Town that you can't host in Heizhai." ”

Hei Tai Sui was also happy, "The master of Changzhai doesn't look at my sweat." ”

Coming out of the teahouse, the three of them went to the restaurant to drink, watched the play at night, and stayed in Red Leaf Town for a night. It's all invited by Changshan. The next morning, they went back to each other

......

Li Wumang arrived at Fuguang Village, said hello to Hei Taisui and went to Fuguang Blessed Land, practiced "Peeping Dao Jue" on the Houdao jade couch, and came down halfway to get dry food.

Fifteen days the head went down and down the mountain. The level still stays on the third level of qi training. Because his mind has been opened, Li Wumang is not discouraged.

On the second day, the convoy arrived at the foot of the mountain, Chang Shan and Yixi Daoren went up the mountain together, Hei Tai Sui saw that Chang Shan seemed to be a little unhappy, so he and Li Wumang let the two into the hall.

"The big boss, it's really not so simple to make money, Yixi Daochang is in trouble. As soon as he sat down, Changshan said.

"Great boss, our trade road follows the mountain to the savage tribe, and the mountain side is also a road, which is the business road of the country. There are also a few green forests, and the money from the passage over there is also at stake, and there is no caravan left. When a few cottagers saw that we were doing business, they even threatened to take a beat." After Yixi Daoren finished speaking, he waited for Li Wumang to come up with an idea.

"How do you tap your head?" asked Li Wumang.

Yixi said: "The two trade roads of Anzhou and Liguo are combined into one road in the wilderness, which is nothing more than to set up a village at the intersection place. buy road money".

Li Wumang smiled: "The money for buying the road has been received from you." ”

"But isn't it, they sent someone to tell the chief of the Tao, and according to the rules of the green forest, it can be regarded as a greeting. Chang Shan pouted.

Li Wumang said: "Since we know that we are a partnership of three cottages, and the fur medicinal materials of the barbarian tribe are enough for the two countries to trade, why don't they partner to do business?"

"Liguo Business Road is also three cottages, and I can't say that I can go together. "Chang Shan knows a lot about the green forests of Liguo.

"The big master, you are the person designated by the immortal cultivator, and I, the master of the black village and the master of the Chang village, are all looking at the light of the big master, so what you said is useful. Yixi Taoist said sincerely.

Chang Shan and Hei Tai Sui, when they heard that the Taoist people had pierced this layer of window paper, they all nodded.

Yixi Taoist continued: "There is no such person as a big boss on his side, it is okay to kill people and set fires together, do business together, and no one believes anyone in the matter of staining silver." ”

"Yixi Daoist said this, I am ashamed. So what now?" Li Wumang didn't know what to do.

Yixi Taoist said angrily: "Either don't do business, give Liguo cottage a head to let the green forest joke, or come hard, I Hongfei Zhai is willing to serve the owner of the village as the big master, Fuguang Village dispatched 400 people with Hongfei Village, set up a village at the intersection of business roads, and is not afraid of the provocation of Liguo Green Forest." I'm optimistic about the place. ”

"Yixi Dao Chang, you don't discuss it with me, you are willing to serve the master of the village as the master, am I Changshan greedy for the position of the master of the village?"

Chang Shan turned his face to Li Wumang and said, "I, Qingfeng Village, am also willing to serve the master of Li Village." Whether to do business or not depends on the big boss's idea. ”

Yixi Taoist also said: "To do or not to do, Hongfei Village is the same as the owner of the village, and the big boss says a word." ”

Hei Tai Sui heard so much about them, and he also knew that they were going to hold on to the big tree, and the matter of buying and selling was secondary. I had to say: "Big boss, you have to come up with an idea, don't cold everyone's hearts"

"The immortal cultivator said that I have great wealth in the world, and you also believe it?"

Seeing that the three of them nodded, Li Wumang didn't want to make things bigger. "Li Wumang is no different from the three village owners, I'm afraid that I will live up to your expectations, and Li Wumang can't afford it. ”

"What do we say by ourselves, what does it have to do with the big boss? "Yixi Taoist people have a sincere attitude.

Chang Shan also said: "Please ask the big boss to agree." The two stood up and clasped their fists in salute.

Li Wumang stood up and returned the salute, "That is the case, Li Wumang also has conditions, please agree." ”

The three of them said in unison, "Please speak." ”

"It doesn't matter if the cottage is very Wumang, in the future, you will call me Wumang, I will call you uncle, do you agree?"

All three nodded in agreement.

"Wumang, is this business going to be done now?" Chang Shan was afraid of losing the deal.

Li Wumang smiled, "Uncle Chang, didn't I say that I don't care about the cottage?"

Hei Tai Sui was anxious when he heard it, "Wumang, you can't be like this, the business was done by you, how can you let it go now." Yixi Daoist also helped on the side.

"Do those uncles say to do it?"

All three said they wanted to do it.

Li Wumang said: "Then do it." ”

"Another cottage is set up, and there are hundreds of people in Qingfeng Village. Yixi Daoren glanced at Chang Shan.

"There are many people in Qingfeng Village, and you can go to 700 people. Chang Shan agreed.

Yixi Taoist calculated. "There are 900 people in Hongfei Village, so there are 2,000 people, and the master of the black village can't leave here, and I and the master of Changzhai are here. The villages of the country did not dare to act rashly. ”

"It takes a lot of money to set up a new village, wait first. Li Wumang seems to have another opinion.

Hei Tai Sui asked tentatively, "Do you want to talk to Liguo's cottage?"

"It's okay," Wumang nodded.

Yixi said: "I'll do it."

After discussing this matter, everyone went down the mountain and went to Hongye Town to trade the goods, earning nearly 30,000 taels of silver.

"No, this business must not be lost. "There is such a big benefit, Chang Shan told Li Wumang.

Li Wumang smiled: "Naturally, you won't lose it." "Hei Tai Sui asked the shopkeeper to stock up and set off the day after tomorrow. Yixi Daoren and Changshan also hurried back.

Day 5. Yixi Taoist and Changshan arrived at Fuguang Village. Sue sΓΉ Li Wumang and Hei Tai Sui, and made an appointment with the owners of the three cottages in Liguo to meet in Hongfei Village tomorrow, and the four of them went to Hongfei Village together.

Li Wumang is the first time to ride a horse, he has mastered the skills without going out of a mile, and the cultivation of the three layers of qi is not comparable to ordinary people.

The three of them couldn't catch up with the horses, Chang Shan said: "The master of the big village is unusual. The three of them couldn't catch up with Li Wumang, but they were very happy in their hearts.

When he arrived at Qingfeng Village, Li Wumang's horse was stopped by the people of the cottage and asked for money for the road.

"I don't have any money, can you take the horse away?" Li Wumang handed over the reins.

A few strong men were also polite, and led the horses up the mountain.

After a while, Chang Shan and the others arrived, and saw Li Wumang standing alone on the side of the road.

"Wumang, where is your horse?" asked Yixi Daoren.

"The people of Qingfeng Village took it and fed it. ”

"Strange, do you know the people in Qingfeng Village?" Chang Shan was a little confused.

"Wumang sat on the chair that day, and Uncle Chang brought someone to congratulate him, didn't he know me?" Li Wumang joked.

As he spoke, a few people came over again, and a leader saluted Chang Shan, seeing that Li Wumang was familiar with Chang Shan, he hurriedly said: "The owner of the village, I let this son's horse be led by me to buy road money." ”

Chang Shan smiled when he heard it, "Okay." The fodder money for his horse is deducted from your share. ”

Go to Qingfeng Village to eat and feed the horses. The group continued to hurry, and arrived at Hongfei Village in the evening, and they were tired all the way, and they slept early after eating.

At noon on the second day, the big village owners of the three cottages of Liguo arrived at Hongfei Village, Hei Tai Sui Changshan and Yixi Dao people went out of the village to greet them, and Li Wumang waited in the hall. Yixi Daoren and others accompanied the three big village masters of Liguo into the hall, and Li Wumang greeted the visitor.

"The three masters of the village, this is the great leader of the three villages of Anzhou Business Road. "A happy Taoist introduced.

The three of them hugged their fists and said: "Long up, long up." "They all looked at Li Wumang.

Before coming, they all knew that Li Wumang was the person designated by the immortal cultivators, and they each had their own plans in their hearts. Now I see a thirteen-year-old boy who wants to explore the truth and the truth. I am afraid that I will be mistaken by rumors and fall into the trap of a happy Taoist.

Li Wumang invited everyone to sit down, looking at the three village owners of the green forest of Liguo, and the one on the left hand was a powerful man, thirty or forty years old. beard, self-reported home, "Dalingzhai Luo Ximeng." ”

In the middle is a woman in her thirties who got up and hugged her fists, "Xiaoling Zhai Dahong." ”

Finally, an old man also clasped his fists and saluted. "Jinguang Zhai Puyi. ”

Li Wumang stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Under Li Wumang." ”

"What do you think of us here?" said Rosie.

"Li Mou Anzhou is doing some small business here, and the three of you want to take the lead?" Li Wumang got straight to the point.

"If there is no caravan in Liguo Shangdao, so many brothers will have to eat." After Da Hong finished speaking, he glanced at Li Wumang.

"Isn't it okay for you to do business in partnership yourself?"

"Everyone is doing business without capital, how can they cooperate?" asked Park rhetorically.

"How can you partner up to take the lead?" Li Wumang smiled.
