At the end of Huangling Street, there is a quiet courtyard consisting of the main house and several thatched houses. A young woman in simple clothes is wiping the hall and three bedrooms of the main house with water. Behind the young woman is a A seven- or eight-year-old boy with a tough head and a tough brain.
"Mom, let's move in here!" the little boy said with enthusiasm. The little boy couldn't understand why his parents didn't live in such a nice house when it was empty. They took him and squeezed him into the small thatched house in the yard. They also cleaned the main house every day and there was no one living there.
"Well, this is the house where Master Immortal lives." The young woman finished wiping the mahogany square table, put the rag in the basin, washed it, took it out and squeezed it out.
"Mom, you always say this is the room where the Immortal Master sits, but where is the Immortal Master? He doesn't come to live here. The Immortal Master must have forgotten it long ago." The little boy pouted and said, it was too cold. The thatched huts in the courtyard can't block the wind at all. It would be great if we could move here!
"Dong, dong!" At this time, there was a knock on the door in the courtyard.
"Well, go open the door, your father is back!" It seemed that the man had returned from work. The young woman wiped the mahogany chair and said to the little boy behind her with a chuckle.
"Dad! Have you bought the candied haws on a stick?" The little boy ran into the yard to open the door and shouted as he ran. In the morning, his father had promised him that he would bring him a bunch of red candied haws when he came back.
"Uncle! Did you go to the wrong door?" The little boy said timidly when he opened the courtyard door. It was not his father. There was a stranger standing outside the door.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, aren't you here?" Liu Yu looked into the courtyard with a suspicious face, and then asked after seeing that she was not in the wrong place.
The visitor was Liu Yu, who came to Beiluan City on the Baixinglin cargo ship. After more than a month of stop-and-go journey, he arrived half an hour ago. After catching up with Mr. Tian from Baixinglin, he rushed here. A small courtyard purchased many years ago.
When Liu Yu withdrew from Beiluan City with his sect, Liu Yu did not sell the small courtyard, but let the old couple continue to live there. For Liu Yu, a small courtyard was not worth a few taels of silver. When we come to Beiluan City again, we have a place to stay.
"Is this Master Liu Xian?" The young woman heard the commotion in the courtyard, walked out of the main room, and saw a young Taoist standing outside the courtyard wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, with hair tied and a crown, and she was anxious and asked hurriedly road.
"Uncle Li, where are they?!" Seeing a strange woman coming out of the main room, Liu Yu couldn't help but frown and asked.
"Master Immortal, please come in quickly!" It seemed that it was Master Liu who Aunt Li was talking about, the owner of this courtyard, the young woman said anxiously.
"Master Immortal, please sit down quickly and have a sip of tea." Liu Yu came to sit down at the stone table under the big banyan tree in the courtyard. The young woman quickly ran into the kitchen, took out the hot pot, poured a bowl of boiling water into Liu Yu, and took out another Small plate of pastries.
"Immortal Master, Aunt Li passed away the year before last. The peasant woman and the couple were strangers. Their family was attacked by bandits and they fled to Beiluan City. The kind-hearted Aunt Li saw that the three of us were living on the streets and were pitiful, so she gave us a place to live... ..." The young woman stood aside, her hands spread out, talking intermittently. The little boy who had just opened the door grabbed the woman's trousers, hid behind the woman, and peeked at Liu Yu.
It turns out that Uncle Li died of illness many years ago, leaving Aunt Li all alone. When the old man saw that the fleeing family was living on the streets with a three or four-year-old child with a yellow mouth, he was really pitiful, so he let the family stay in the small courtyard. After living here, I became frail and sick and needed people to take care of me.
This family was also grateful and took good care of Aunt Li's daily life after they moved in. They treated Aunt Li like their own old mother until her death.
"Xiu Niang, we have a guest!" At this time, a young man in coarse clothes walked in from the courtyard door and said cheerfully to the young woman.
"Brother Niu, come quickly, this is Master Liu Xian." The young woman said hurriedly when her husband came back and had a backbone.
"Guo Niu, the common man, has met Master Liu. The common man will go find a house tomorrow. Aunt Li has told him that the main house and the side room are the residences of the immortal master. The three grass men all live in the thatched huts in the courtyard, and they have not been touched. Xiu Niang in the main house will do it every day Cleaning, Immortal Master can move in at any time." The man in rough clothes was suddenly startled, stepped forward and said respectfully.
When the village was attacked by bandits, Guo Niu fled to Beiluan City with his wife and children. If Aunt Li hadn't taken them back, he might have died of starvation on the streets.
Although he had never met the real owner of the courtyard whom Aunt Li said was a young immortal master from the Immortal Sect, Guo Niu still felt awe and gratitude. After Aunt Li passed away, he never moved into the main house, and the family of three huddled together in a thatched house. Life in the house.
"Master Immortal, you have a rest first. The poor people asked Xiu Niang to prepare some food!" The man in rough clothes invited Liu Yu into the master bedroom of the main house and then left.
Liu Yu looked around the bedroom. Everything in the room was exactly the same as when he left it many years ago, and it was spotless. Apparently someone had been cleaning it. It seemed that the young couple had not lied. They exited the master bedroom and came to the hall to sit quietly. After saying goodbye, , I didn’t expect that both Uncle Li and Aunt Li had died of illness.
The next day, after eating the breakfast prepared by the young woman, Liu Yu Yujian came to Wuhu Square. There was a huge crowd, and there was an endless stream of people coming in and out. Wuhu Square was still so lively. Liu Yu followed the crowds and went to the boutique in the center of the square. Walking around the area, I saw that the stall that Qingyan Group rented in the boutique area seemed to be No. 126.
Looking for the numbers in front of the stalls in the boutique area, Liu Yu quickly found stall No. 126. The stalls were filled with various spiritual materials, elixirs, spiritual talismans, and magical tools. The stalls were surrounded by people. There were onlookers, some asking for prices, and some just hanging out and watching the fun.
From a distance, I saw a beautiful woman in a palace skirt bargaining with two swordsmen. She was charming and had a smile as bright as a flower. The two swordsmen were so distracted that they just took out the spiritual stones. This beautiful woman was exactly the same. Jiang Yin.
"Sister Yin, long time no see!" After Jiang Yinjing was dismissed by the two swordsmen, Liu Yu stepped forward to say hello.
"Brother Liu!" Jiang Yin was stunned and exclaimed with a happy face. Before she could finish her words, she changed her tone and said with a smile: "No, now we should be called Taoist Master Xuanyu!"
"Sister Yin is joking, I'd better call you little brother." Liu Yu said with a chuckle.
"This guy talks too much. Let's go to the teahouse and sit down and talk!" Jiang Yin glanced at the noisy crowd around her and said.
"Just listen to Sister Yin!" There were so many onlookers in front of the stall that it was really not suitable to talk. Liu Yu nodded in response.
"Han Fei, keep an eye on the stall. Sister Yin will take Brother Liu to Xianhe Tower to sit down!" Jiang Yin greeted a young steward at the stall.
"I got it, Sister Yin!" The young steward responded first, then respectfully bowed to Liu Yu and said, "Han Fei has met Taoist Priest Xuanyu!"
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Han!" After hearing the young steward calling himself, Liu Yu remembered who this person was.
When I first learned to draw talisman, I bought a book of talisman painting tips and a "Fire Crown Pen" at Wuhu Plaza, which came from this person. Later, I had many contacts with Qingyan Tuan, and I occasionally met this person. , can be regarded as an old friend.
Han Fei looked at Sister Yin and Liu Yu's retreating figures, and his eyes couldn't help showing a hint of gratitude. He was now also a junior talisman master, and all the low-level talismans sold at the stall were from his hands.
However, some special third-level spiritual talismans such as the Hidden Breath Talisman, Giant Flame Bullet, etc., as well as two types of fourth-level spiritual talismans, "Amulets" and "Air Shield Talisman", are still provided by the Xuanyu Taoist Priest.
Han Fei was able to become a talisman master thanks to Liu Yu who often took the time to teach him some talisman drawing skills when he was working part-time at "Fuyuan Building". It was precisely because of his certain talisman drawing skills that he received the financial support of the entire hunting group and became a A full-time talisman master of the Blue Eyes Group.
Jiang Yin took Liu Yu to the "Xianhe Teahouse" outside Wuhu Square and opened a private room on the second floor. This teahouse was where Mr. Tian negotiated with him to exchange the "Blood-spotted Black Taro" in his hand for "Double Dan Tempering". The tea house where the secret method of "Tian" lies.
Liu Yu still remembers the signboard of this teahouse, which is a second-grade spiritual tea called "Xianyun Yehe".
After the two sat down, Jiang Yin asked the shopkeeper to serve a pot of "Xianyun Yehe", and then the two started chatting.
They talked about their respective experiences over the years. The Green Eyes Group has developed well in recent years. The stall rented in the boutique area is under the management of Jiang Yin. The business is very good. Ordinary members can also receive hundreds of low-level spiritual stones in a year. of dividends.
This is also due to Liu Yu. Without the various talismans provided by Liu Yu, especially the high-quality third-grade "Amulet" and "Air Shield Talisman", the goods are good and cheap, which helped Qingyan Tuan's stall attract a lot of customers. Customers, of course the cooperation between Liu Yu and Qingyan Group is mutually beneficial, and Liu Yu himself has made a lot of money over the years.
"By the way, Sister Yin! Why don't you see Brother Song?" After chatting for a while, Liu Yu asked.
"I'm recuperating in the mountains. I failed to build a foundation in seclusion half a year ago and injured my Dantian." Jiang Yin couldn't help but look sad. This retreat was Song Hongjiang's second time to build a foundation. He failed again and injured his Dantian. He almost declared Song Hongjiang has no chance of further advancement.
The Blue Eyes Group has more than 400 members, and it can be considered a small hunting gang. As the number of members increases, the corresponding disputes also increase. To make a living in the chaotic Black and White Mountains, there are no foundation-building masters to take charge. It's not very stable. Not to mention that there are other hunting gangs peeking outside, and it can't suppress some interested people in the gang.
Fortunately, everyone in the gang knew that their leader was an old friend of a foundation-building deacon of Huang Shengzong, and the high-level talismans sold at the gang stall came from the hands of this foundation-building deacon of Huang Shengzong, so even if someone in the gang had evil intentions, they would not Dare to make too much noise.
"Didn't Brother Liu ask Sister Yin to inquire about the four spiritual materials of "Blood-spotted Black Taro", "Difu Fruit", "Qingfeng Lotus" and "Huanglong Stem"! The stall just received a " "Yellow rhizome," I wanted to send it to you, but I didn't expect you to come to Beiluan City." Jiang Yin took out an apricot-yellow rhizome three fingers wide and handed it to Liu Yu.
"Sister Yin, how many spiritual stones did you spend?" Liu Yu collected these four spiritual materials for his junior sister Tang Zhi, and asked Qingyan Tuan to help inquire about them in Beiluan City many years ago.
"It doesn't cost much spirit stones. Brother Liu, just keep it!" Although it cost a high price of 13,000 low-grade spirit stones to harvest this "yellow stalk", Jiang Yin would not accept it from Liu Yu. The spirit stone is a reward for Liu Yu's help to Qingyan Tuan over the years.
"Okay! I'll thank Sister Yin then!" Seeing that Jiang Yin didn't intend to ask for the spirit stone, Liu Yu didn't insist and said with a smile.
The two chatted for a while, and Liu Yu told Jiang Yin that she still lived in the small courtyard at the end of Huangling Street. If you need anything, you can go to the small courtyard to find him. Then she said goodbye to Jiang Yin and left Wuhu Square.
"Master Immortal, these are some wines and dishes prepared for you by the old woman, please try them." Liu Yu returned to the small courtyard and found a table of dishes in the main room. The three members of the family were waiting in the courtyard for Liu Yu. .
"If Aunt Li hadn't allowed the peasant woman and her family to stay in this courtyard, the peasant woman's family of three might have starved to death on the street. Thank you Aunt Li for your kindness, and thank you Immortal Master for your kindness. The peasant woman can't bring anything else. One table Home-cooked food and wine, I hope the Immortal Master won’t dislike it!” The young woman prepared a large table of food all day long, which cost a lot of money and was even richer than in previous Chinese New Years.
"You two are interested, let's sit together!" Liu Yu moved his chopsticks a few times. The meat was cooked and delicious. It was obvious that the young woman's cooking skills were pretty good, and it suited Liu Yu's taste. Seeing the whole family standing aside, Liu Yu Said in greeting.
"Immortal Master, the common people have eaten. Today we went to find a house. Tomorrow the common people can move out and will not disturb the immortal master's peace. This is the money left by Aunt Li, and the common people have not touched a cent." The man in rough clothes said. The cloth bag was placed on the table. There was a hundred taels of silver note and some broken silver in it, he said honestly.
Guo Niu went looking for a house early in the morning. He had a place to stay in Beiluan City over the years. He had saved some money by working long-term and short-term jobs. When the family moved out, life would be very difficult, but he could survive. He won't be living on the streets like when he first arrived in Beiluancheng.
"You can keep the money, there is no need to move out. Pindao doesn't live here for long, so he only stays here occasionally. The money will be used as wages for you to help Pindao guard the yard." Liu Yu saw that this couple was quite considerate, The yard was empty, and it would be nice to have someone to take care of the food, so he spoke.
"Master Immortal, please quickly collect these coins. Immortal Master allows the common people to keep them. The common people will be very grateful!" The man in rough clothes said excitedly.
"I don't need these few pieces of silver, so you can take them as long as you want." Liu Yu said nonchalantly.
