"How many are there?" Yan Feiyue asked.
"There are three families, and the most unlucky one is the Xiahou family, which is ranked fifth among the middle families. For some unknown reason, in the ranking competition that year, it fell to the bottom of the twenty middle families;
Wen Jia, who was ranked seventh, suddenly dropped to eighteenth place because he said he offended someone he shouldn't have offended;
There is also the Bai family, which is ranked eleventh. Because there is only one direct daughter in this generation, many families want to be exterminated, so they are pushed to nineteenth place. "Shopkeeper Song only felt that the original big reshuffle was still vivid in his mind. It was really changed beyond recognition overnight. Some families rose up instantly, and some families fell miserably.
"The Xiahou family, is this the Xiahou family in the mainland?" Tong Yi said this so casually that Shopkeeper Song couldn't tell the difference.
"What did the adults hear when they went to Wang's Pharmacy to buy medicinal materials?" Shopkeeper Song asked.
"Exactly, we wanted to buy a few hundred-year-old medicinal herbs, but the waiter said that since he changed the shopkeeper, all the precious medicinal materials received will be sent directly to the imperial capital. What is the reason for this, shopkeeper Song?" Yan Feiyue looked very serious. He asked in a silly and innocent tone.
"Alas! If we compare the Xiahou family, my Song family is actually not the worst. The Xiahou family in the Fan Continent has one boy and one girl. The elder brother Xiahou Zesong is indifferent to power, so his younger sister Xiahou Zezhi is the head of the family.
It turned out that my sister's son-in-law, Wang Miao, was ambitious. After learning that the Xiahou family in the outer mainland had lost power, he killed his pregnant wife, kicked out his elder brother-in-law, and changed the Xiahou family to Wang Miao. surname. "Boss Song sighed when he talked about this.
"Isn't there anyone who can take care of someone who is so heartless?" Longxin was frightened when he heard this. This man surnamed Wang is simply abominable.
"How dare you care? He later married the third-ranked granddaughter of the head of the Ling family in the outer continent."
"At least he is ranked third, so I can like him!" Yan Feiyue said bluntly, and only after she finished speaking did she realize that this matter was not that simple. I am afraid that the Ling family had a share of the credit for the downfall of the Xiahou family in the outer continent.
"The granddaughter of the head of the Ling family is a mortal without spiritual roots. The Ling family was originally ranked last among the twenty middle schools, but with good times, it suddenly jumped to third place." Shopkeeper Song said.
"I see." This makes sense. Using a dispensable chess piece in exchange for a desired result is indeed a sure-fire deal.
"Does Shopkeeper Song know what procedures are required to travel to the outer continent now?" Wei Sheng Suwen's question was a bit clever.
"Since the big reshuffle ten years ago, customs clearance between continents has become particularly strict. The restrictions on traveling from the outer continent to the Mortal Continent are still relatively loose, and as many people can come down; but when these people return, the inspection is stricter. The number of people can only be smaller than when they came, but they can never be more than when they came, and they must be the same people.
Then there are the people from the mainland who want to go to the outer continent. Such people not only have to provide proof of identity from the mainland, but also have to pay for a ticket worth 50 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. 50 low-grade spiritual stones are equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of silver. This is really a large amount of money, and it stumps many people at the first level.
The second level is even more demanding. Only a family from the Outer Continent is willing to take it in. Only then can the Outer Continent allow people to disembark. Otherwise, it would cost one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy a round-trip sightseeing ticket. It can be said that there is no way, and you can't get up no matter what.
Finally, there is the third level, the issue of long-term residence or temporary residence. The long-term residence certificate can only be applied for if you actually join the family. Otherwise, if the temporary residence certificate expires, you will be deported to the mainland.
But now it has been particularly difficult to obtain identity certificates in Fanlu since ten years ago -" When shopkeeper Song said this, he quietly glanced at Qi Guanyu and the others who were drinking tea.
"Oh, it seems that Shopkeeper Song has realized that we have lost our identities?" Shen Tuqi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, looked at Shopkeeper Song with a half-smile and said.
Shopkeeper Song glanced at Shen Tuqi, quickly lowered his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said: "When the adults came to the store earlier, the robes they wore were all mid-level magic weapons. I am lucky enough to have seen robes of this level. In recent years, few people from above have come to the mainland, so I made bold guesses about the identities of a few adults."
"What the shopkeeper said is that you can help us solve the identity problem?" Wei Sheng was crawling around in the mall, and the title of the grandson of the richest man was not for nothing. He immediately caught the unintended meaning in shopkeeper Song's words. Do your best.
"I'm ashamed to say that when I came down with my wife, I brought my family with me. I have two sons and two daughters-in-law. However, a few years ago, fire fell from the sky, and my eldest son, my youngest son and his wife were both burned to death. Because of the special If I miss you, I will not cancel the identities of the three people who died."
Shopkeeper Song said this with a gloomy face. He didn't want to exchange the only identity of his deceased relative, but he, his wife, and his eldest son couldn't just wait to die like this! If you can practice, you should continue to practice!
"What does Shopkeeper Song want?" Yan Feiyue didn't think it was a big deal. Cultivation is about competing with heaven for fate. It's always difficult to make progress if you worry too much.
"Exchange an identity for a foundation-building pill." Shopkeeper Song's eyes almost popped out of his sockets. He and his wife have treated their eldest daughter-in-law as their own daughter. Now they are the only three who depend on each other, and only the three of them still remember Their dead relatives.
"Okay." Tong Yi nodded.
"After we find a good place in the outer continent, we will give the shopkeeper an additional Zongheng Pill required to advance to the Golden Pill. This pill is enough to help you gain a foothold in the master's family." Qi Guanyu said.
"The villain must arrange for several adults. Life after arriving above will only have three identities -" After all, it was not enough for six people. Shopkeeper Song only dared to swallow this last sentence.
"You don't need to worry about the remaining three identities, we will arrange them ourselves." Longxin said.
"Does the shopkeeper know the whereabouts of Xiahou's family?" Qi Guanyu asked again.
"I do know that the shopkeeper of Xiahou Pharmacy has some personal relationship with me." Shopkeeper Song only thought that these people wanted to solve the identity problem at Xiahou's house, but this might be a way.
"Then please help me contact Shopkeeper Song." Wei Sheng Suwen took out a medium-grade spiritual stone and placed it on the coffee table.
"Tomorrow I will bring some adults to the door." After saying that, Shopkeeper Song took the spirit stone and left the room.
"Guan Guan, what do you think?" Yan Feiyue was very curious. The Xiahou family in the Fan Continent is definitely under surveillance by all parties. Do they want to ask the Xiahou family to solve the identity problem? ?
"We have to check the situation of Xiahou's family tomorrow -" Qi Guanyu said meaningfully.
"It's dark under the lamp." Shen Tuqi understood Qi Guanyu's thoughts and explained the beauty of it in one sentence.
The next day, after several people had lunch, Shopkeeper Song took them to a dirty alley on the edge of the city and walked straight in until they reached the end.
Shopkeeper Song knocked on the door of the small courtyard, and saw a thin and tall young man carefully sticking his head out, looking at Qi Guanyu and his group with shrinking eyes. After seeing Shopkeeper Song nodding, he opened the door with confidence. Open it and let a group of seven people walk in.
Entering the courtyard, there is a main room, a side room, and a kitchen. After Yan Feiyue and others entered the main room, they discovered that there were no less than ten people crowded in this room, all of them men, old and young. They were either lying down, muttering in a low voice, or hoarsely crying out in pain, which had a huge impact on Yan Feiyue, Tong Yi, and Longxin.
There were only a thin middle-aged man and an old man with a crooked back in the room. Each of them was holding a bowl of unknown medicine and feeding each person in the room a spoonful.
"Master Xiahou, the old shopkeeper, you have brought me here." Shopkeeper Song seemed to be used to it and said directly.
The Xiahou family head and the old shopkeeper just raised their heads and glanced at the visitor. Although the Xiahou family head's eyes only brightened for a moment, Qi Guanyu and the other six people still noticed them.
"Shopkeeper Song, please help me take care of the clan members. I'll go out and have a detailed discussion with some adults." The head of the Xiahou family held the medicine and thanked Shopkeeper Song.
Shopkeeper Song didn't say anything, but took the medicine bowl skillfully and started feeding the medicine.
The Xiahou family leader then limped and led Qi Guanyu and others out of the main house and to the kitchen. As soon as they entered the room, the Xiahou family leader knelt down in front of Qi Guanyu and choked in a low voice:
"Xiahou Zesong, the head of the Xiahou family in Fan Continent, has met Young Master Biao."
"Master Xiahou, please get up." Qi Guanyu helped him up personally. The middle-aged man, who had already burst into tears, said doubtfully:
"you know me?"
"Ten years ago, after Master Biao disappeared, the Xiahou family in the Outer Continent contacted me for the last time. They only gave me a portrait of Master Biao and asked me to search for him secretly in the Mortal Continent.
Not long after that, the Xiahou family in Fan Continent was renamed. After being kicked out, my abilities were limited and I didn’t dare to talk to others, so I could only go out to look for the young master every once in a while, but for more than ten years, Nothing was found. "The head of the Xiahou family has been feeling guilty all these years. If he hadn't been too weak, why would he be like this?
"Is the portrait still there?" Yan Feiyue asked worriedly. He was afraid that someone else would know the existence of the portrait.
"Don't worry, sir. The portrait was burned after I read it. There is no news about Young Master Biao in the Mainland. Moreover, the portrait depicts Young Master Biao in his teens. It is very different from what it is now. Generally, it will not be seen. Recognize it." The Xiahou family head can still guarantee this.
"Then how did you recognize it?" Longxin was curious.
"Sir, Master Biao's eyes are very similar to those of the head of the family in the upper world. The space ring on young master Biao's hand was also specially given by the head of the family. After all, such an ordinary ring is rare. ." The head of the Xiahou family did not mean to look down on the ring at all, he was just paraphrasing the original words.
