Manager Hou was very happy and bought all the eight jars of spiritual wine Zhuyeqing on the spot. He was still complaining about why Liu Xiaolou took so long this time, saying that all the upper-level disciples of the sect had stopped drinking for several days.
This time he offered to pay the bill with spirit stones because he had no cash on him. Liu Xiaolou glanced at Deacon Hou who was coming down the mountain again, felt a chill on his scalp, and quickly agreed.
The only one in the Qingyu Sect who recognizes him, Deacon Hou, is here. Can he continue his business? Liu Xiaolou felt unsure. Therefore, let’s get the spirit stone first.
A piece of spiritual stone and two jars of bamboo leaves and green leaves are the usual prices, but of course they won't be like this now. For the eight altars of green bamboo leaves in front of him, Steward Hou gave a total of six spiritual stones, and Liu Xiaolou did not bargain for them. In just over half a month, based on the initial seven or eighty taels of silver, he had turned over the six spiritual stones now. He was very satisfied. At the same time, he was also worried about the time spent arguing with Steward Hou over the price. Steward Hou If his elder brother, Deacon Hou, were to be transferred back, the gain would outweigh the loss.
While Steward Hou was telling the servants to pick up the wine, Liu Xiaolou brought the pheasant to the table. Steward Hou really liked it, and he was surprised when he picked up the pheasant and looked at it repeatedly: "I've never seen this kind of game, where did you get it? Okay?" Do you want to eat?”
Liu Xiaolou said with a smile: "I happened to bump into him when I was passing by Wuling Mountain, so I called the manager to give him a try. This beast is very smart and somewhat spiritual. I chased him for two days before I captured him. .”
After hearing the word "spirituality", Steward Hou became even more happy and praised it repeatedly. He couldn't put it down. Two servants came to pick up the pheasants, but they were slapped open by him.
Taking advantage of his happiness, Liu Xiaolou tried to ask: "There was a deacon named Hou who was here just now to look at the goods. Is he your brother in charge?"
Manager Hou smiled and said: "You say he is, that's him. He doesn't care about purchasing goods, he just comes here wandering around. I don't know why, he suddenly came, saying that Mr. Zong summoned a few of them to come here overnight. This pheasant What's its name? Ah, I'll use the name you mentioned, Green-feathered Pheasant. I'll eat it tonight and give it to my brother."
As he said that, he took out a bracelet, which was full of gold beads. It was estimated to be three or four heavy, and he threw it to Liu Xiaolou: "I'll reward you!"
After Steward Hou left, Liu Xiaolou fell into deep thought and suddenly said to Zuo Gaofeng and Tan Bazhang beside him: "This Steward Hou's brother is the visiting deacon of the Qingyu Sect, specializing in patrolling the mountains and apprehending bandits. ..."
Tan Bazhang asked: "You also want to curry favor with his brother?"
Zuo Gaofeng was horrified and moved: "Something is going to happen!"
Tan Bazhang still didn't understand: "What?"
Zuo Gaofeng explained while packing up the specialties he sold: "Let's go! Didn't you listen to what Steward Hou said? His brother was summoned to the mountain by the elders of the Qingyu Sect overnight, overnight! Several of their visiting deacons were summoned to go up the mountain!"
At this moment, even Tan Bazhang seemed to have some realization: "Yes, what is this for?"
Zuo Gaofeng said: "It doesn't matter what we do. Anyway, if there are signs, we will stay away for a while. Although the Qingyu Sect is generous, there is no need to take risks."
Liu Xiaolou added: "I recognize Guanshi Hou's brother. He seemed to be wandering here just now, but in fact he kept glancing at people's faces. He was not looking at goods, but looking at people!"
Zuo Gaofeng had already tidied up his things and put two big bamboo baskets on the poles. He looked around and saw that there was still a lot of excitement in front of Guimeng Cliff. It seemed that nothing had changed for the time being, so he said: "Let's go one by one and don't make any noise. Xiaolou, you go first Walk."
Liu Xiaolou said: "Master Zuoxia, Brother Tan, you go first, I will inform the Longshan Sanren and others."
Tan Bazhang said: "I will accompany Xiaolou. Brother Zuo, please leave first."
Zuo Gaofeng sighed: "Xiaolou is so loyal, we can't be careless. We simply inform them one by one and let the fellow Taoists evacuate one by one."
Without further ado, Liu Xiaolou walked up to Longshan Sanren and whispered in his ear: "Sanren, the situation is not right, please stay away for a few days."
The Longshan Sanren were startled, stopped talking, quickly closed the stall, and wandered off Guimeng Cliff.
Then came Lingling Ke. This guy was so quick that he didn't even want two unsold large hives. He got up and ran away, causing several people around his stall to look around inexplicably, wondering why he was acting like this. Liu Xiaolou was also so angry that he was speechless. He secretly thought that what Brother Wei said was indeed true. This guy is really not a thing. Who cares who is his grandson next time!
Then there are Huang Yexian from Yunv Cave, the Ma brothers from Wuzi Peak, Jiang Feihu from Feihu Cave, Zhang Shihua from Shihua Valley, and Lao Hujing from Hulukou. In fact, these people are not particularly familiar with Liu Xiaolou, but they all seem to be familiar with each other. For the sake of Comrade Wulongshan, Liu Xiaolou informed everyone one by one, almost every other person during a cup of tea.
They were all fellow Taoists, and their keen sense of danger had long been engraved in their bones. Liu Xiaolou didn't need to explain that he left as soon as it was time to leave, but he was not as unbearable as Lingling Ke. They left calmly and calmly one by one.
The Guzhangshan Qiying were numerous and powerful, so Liu Xiaolou did not inform them. He gave Sister Qing a few words and asked her to inform them last.
After the people on his side informed him that the meeting was over, Liu Xiaolou nodded to Tan Bazhang and Zuo Fengfeng, and was not polite. He went down the mountain first. When he left, he looked back and saw that Guimengya was still lively. For the nearly two hundred temporary stalls, For a market, the absence of these dozens of stalls is not surprising at first glance.
After coming down the mountain, Liu Xiaolou waited at Uncle Tian's house. From time to time, he would see a Taoist fellow from Wulong Mountain leaving in a hurry. In the afternoon, even Lin Qiying, the ancient abbot, came down. They were shoulder to shoulder, and there was indeed a lot of movement.
Zuo Gaofeng and Tan Bazhang did not come down this mountain road. They should have taken another mountain road, but they undoubtedly left because Liu Xiaolou had told Sister Qing to wait until the two of them left before informing Gu Zhang. Lin Qiying.
At this point, Liu Xiaolou finally felt relieved. Even if the Qingyu Sect suddenly turned against him, the people arrested would be loose cultivators from other places and had nothing to do with Wulong Mountain.
With brisk steps, he returned to Wuchao Town along the bank of the Wuchao River, returned to his secluded courtyard, and continued practicing in a down-to-earth manner.
It is still the seventh point of the Jueyin meridian of the hand - Daling point. Half a month ago, the spirit stone was gone in the middle of the rush. Now, with six spirit stones in hand, the attack continues.
Late at night, there was a sudden "bang bang" knock on the courtyard door. When Liu Xiaolou heard the knock, he knew who it was.
After opening the door, Sister Qing stepped in, looked outside the door nervously, and then closed the door. There were beads of sweat all over her head, her chest was rising and falling, and she could hardly breathe.
"What's wrong, Sister Qing?"
"Phew... something happened..."
"Don't panic, take your time..."
"I'm not panicking, I'm just tired. I ran all the way... Xiaolouqian didn't know that as soon as the sun went down, Guimengya was surrounded... Phew... "The Qingyu Sect came to hundreds of people, arrested them all, and then screened them. Those of us who were not practicing were released, and the rest..."
"How about it?"
"I don't know yet, but...it's very fierce!"
