Chen Xuan was a little embarrassed. Going to the Ice Sect?
That's impossible. Chen Xuan doesn't want to be scolded by that woman again for no reason. It's not Chen Xuan's petty behavior, but that Chen Xuan still hasn't figured out how he offended that woman. He really responded to that sentence Words make a woman’s heart ache! But Chen Xuan was embarrassed to refuse Wuxian, so he said, "Let's do it! If you want to go, just go! You also know the way."
"Ah! Master, aren't you going?"
"I won't go. Your sister Qing'er's cultivation is important. I will disturb her cultivation if I go."
This is also one of the reasons why Chen Xuan doesn't go.
"And I have other things to do, so don't play too long. Cultivation is the most important thing. Only when you have enough strength can you do what you want to do."
Chen Xuan said again.
"Ah, then I'd better not go. I can't disturb Sister Qing'er's practice. I'll have plenty of time in the future."
How could Wongtian not know what Chen Xuan meant? If he went, he couldn't go with Chen Xuan. He was here for training, not for fun. He knew this very well.
"Really not going?"
Although Wongtian was a little reluctant to give up, he still nodded and said, "I'm not going. I'm here to practice, not to play. I'll have plenty of time in the future."
Chen Xuan was a little surprised, when did this kid become so aware.
"Okay, let's go! The place we are going to is a bit far, so we have to hurry up."
"Master, where are we going?"
"Go to Tianzhen City!"
"Tianzhen City, isn't that the headquarters of the Zhenzong?
Where are we going? "
"Of course we are going to do business, and it is big business."
"What a big deal."
Wongtian was very excited.
"Haha, just go, you will know when the time comes."
Chen Xuan said mysteriously.
The two masters and apprentices finally arrived at Tianzhen City on a sunny afternoon after a long journey.
Looking at the city gate in front of them with the characters Tianzhen City written on it, both the master and the disciple were dumbfounded.
"Master, is this Tianzhen City?"
"If I'm not mistaken, is the plaque on the city gate the cold iron from outside the sky?"
"I think so too."
"Is it so luxurious?
The cold iron from Tianwai was used to make a plaque. Isn't it overkill? "
"Yes, if such a good material is used to make a Taoist weapon, it must be a high-level holy Taoist weapon. It may even be able to advance to the level of a revered weapon."
The two masters and apprentices entered the city with a feeling of pity.
The high-end city is always so prosperous and the streets are overcrowded. Chen Xuan couldn't help but think in his heart, "When will Tianfeng City be like this? No, it should be more prosperous than this."
"Master, where should we go next?"
Wongtian's question brought Chen Xuan back from his thoughts.
"What do you think?"
Chen Xuan asked back. During the journey of more than a month, Chen Xuan and Zou Tian passed through no less than a dozen cities, so Chen Xuan wanted to hear Wongtian's opinion.
"ah!"
Wongtian was obviously a little surprised, but he still replied seriously, "Master, you said that there are two ways to understand the situation of a city as quickly as possible, one is to ask, and the other is to listen!"
"It would cost too much to ask, so the best way is to listen, so we have to find an inn with the largest flow of people in this city."
"Haha, yes, it seems that there has been some progress over the past few months."
Chen Xuan said as if he was a teachable boy.
Then he continued to ask, "Then how can we find the inn with the largest passenger flow in this city?"
"Haha, Master, you also said that the type of people who know the most about this city are the retainers, so just ask the retainers."
Shopkeepers are a profession, and they are also small traders, but what they sell is not actual goods, but information. As long as it is what you want to know, and they happen to know that you have to pay them a certain fee, and then they will give it to you. Tell them what they know.
Moreover, every door has sworn to Heaven before entering, and it is absolutely not allowed to lie, otherwise it will be punished by God, so guests will not worry about lies at the door.
Chen Xuan was very pleased. It seemed that he remembered everything he said, but there were many things that he couldn't put into practice. However, after this period of time, Chen Xuan reminded him again that many relevant things in Wongtian's mind were gone. Out.
"Yes, very good. Then, start practicing the things in your head! Just knowing is not enough. You will use it, and you must use it skillfully."
Then the next step was to have Wuxian as the protagonist, while Chen Xuan followed beside him without saying a word. Those who didn't know thought he was mute, because Chen Xuan wanted to see if Whetian could successfully complete this task without him. matter.
This is easy to say, but difficult to do, because the profession of concierge is a mixed bag, and many concierges don’t know much about it. However, the rule of concierge is that as long as you ask, you have to give as much as you want, so there are Many such people like to do this thing, so it is easy to meet the kind of customers who don't know anything about it, and they have to pay themselves.
Therefore, how to identify hangers-on is also something that a person who is away from home must learn.
Sure enough, after Zou Tian asked a few customers and spent a few middle-grade energy stones, the answer he got was either he didn't know, or he gave three or four companies, saying that it was one of these three or four houses. And it’s not certain yet.
This made Zou Tian feel a little downcast, "Master," Wantian shouted in embarrassment, perhaps because he was a little ashamed that he didn't ask for what he wanted.
"Xiaotian, you are still there. I remember that it took me two full days to ask your master before I found a disciple who was truly talented and knowledgeable. This is actually based on experience. I'll give it a try more."
Chen Xuan said.
Then Wongtian started to ask one by one again, but in the end he didn't ask what he wanted. On the contrary, he spent a lot of money. Wongtian originally wanted to give it to low-level energy stones, but he saw that almost everyone was in the middle. The high-grade energy stone was at the bottom, so I bit the bullet and gave it.
Chen Xuan couldn't stand it anymore and reminded, "Xiaotian, if you search one by one like this, maybe you can find it in two days, because two days is enough for you to ask everyone here, but you have to Think about it, how can you find it the fastest, if it is not in a crowded place, that customer must have real talent and knowledge, look, you have asked so many questions."
"You have to put yourself in someone else's shoes and think about what you would do if you were a truly talented person."
After listening to Chen Xuan's words, Wantian fell into deep thought. After a while, he suddenly thought of something, and then said happily, "I understand, Master, if I were a disciple with real talent and learning, first of all I wouldn't yell So I can exclude this group of people because they are soliciting customers. Secondly, generally people with real talents and knowledge have their own pride, so among this group of people there should be people who are full of confidence. In this way, the scope is smaller."
In the end, Wongtian targeted a dozen or so people in a small area. They neither yelled or solicited customers, but also seemed to be laughing at the prosperous business around them. Such people were either out of jealousy or because of that. People with real talent and knowledge laugh at these people because they cannot discern heroes.
Then Wongtian asked among these houses. The first family didn’t have it. Wantian wasn’t discouraged. The second family didn’t have it either. Wantian continued to ask. When the tenth family didn’t ask, Wantian became a little panicked. , "Is my judgment wrong?"
Wongtian still stood firm in his opinion, until he asked about the last one, Wongtian couldn't help but feel a little downcast.
The doormen all have a small room. This is a doorman street, so there are rows of doormen shops. The room is the kind that can accommodate just two people without looking too crowded. There is a table and there are people sitting inside. There are diners, and a chair outside is used to entertain guests. At this time, there is no one else in the last house of Wengtian.
The guest inside was an old woman, which made Wongtian feel a little dazed. All the people he came to here were men, and suddenly there was an old woman. Wongtian was indeed a little unsure, but Chen Xuan's eyes lit up behind him.
"Young man, do you want to ask me or not? If you don't ask me, I will close the door and go home."
Only then did Wongtian notice that it was getting dark. He actually asked this question all afternoon. Wongtian was so disappointed that he forgot to answer the old lady's words.
"Boy, boy!"
The old woman called out twice, and Wrinkle Genius replied in a panic, "Hey!"
"Young man, is it rude to ignore an old man's words like this?"
The old lady was a little angry and continued, "Don't just stand at the door without asking. There are other people behind you."
Apparently the old lady regarded Chen Xuan as a guest.
Only then did Wongtian realize that he was distracted and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, grandma, I didn't mean not to answer. It's just that I've been asking all afternoon and I haven't asked what I want. I'm inevitably a little disappointed, so Just...please forgive me!"
After hearing this, the old lady softened her expression a little and said, "So that's it. It seems that the old lady has misunderstood you. It seems that this is your first time to ask about the door! That's good. Ask the old lady about you." It’s over.”
"Tell me what you want to ask. The old lady thinks she knows something."
Wongtian suddenly became a little nervous, because he felt that the old lady in front of him was the kind of guest with real talents and learning, so he quickly asked, I want to know the inn with the largest passenger flow in Tianzhen City.
The old lady thought for a while and then replied, "No wonder so many customers don't know how to do it. Without a fixed and updated information source, few of them can answer accurately, because this requires accurate information about the whole process." "You Ask the right person.”
