In the elegant room of the wine shop, Mu Sheng, Huang Renpu and Lin Zhuer exchanged glasses and started drinking. Zhang Lin didn't want to participate in the drinking game among these gentlemen, so he turned around and pulled Hua Zilan. Talk and laugh.
While the wine was in full swing, Huang Renpu said to Lin Zhuer, "Brother Lin, whether you can stay in the sect once the three-year period is up depends on our luck. To be honest, I am under a lot of pressure, and my family has high expectations for me." Gao, the task of continuing the Huang monk family falls on me, hey!"
Lin Zhuer said with a carefree look, "Brother Huang, I don't care whether I can practice or not. To be honest, I mainly like the treatment of the outer disciples of the Yuzhen Sect. The monthly payment is ten gold, which is equivalent to one yuan a month." Thousands of dollars, taking care of food and housing. After one year, I can save 12,000 dollars. Brother Mu, Brother Huang, don’t think I’m vulgar. I have a good friend in my hometown. I’ll save the money after these three years. It's enough for me to go home and buy dozens of acres of land, and my wife and children can stay warm. This is what really matters. When my family builds a new house, you must come and see me if you have time. I, Lin Zhu'er, must entertain you two well. brother……"
Mu Sheng and Huang Renpu smiled and nodded in agreement.
Huang Renpu's expression seemed to disapprove of Lin Zhuer's lack of ambition, but he didn't say it clearly. After all, they were good brothers! We will spend three years together at the outer gate.
Mu Sheng smiled and said, "Brother Lin, what is vulgar? This is life. Brother Lin is really a real person. As the old saying goes, good health is happiness, and being ordinary is true. Brother Lin, if Brother Huang is At the end of the three-year period, regardless of whether you can be selected into the inner sect, I hope you can come to the capital to find me, and I will personally receive you two to ensure that your trip is worthwhile."
Huang and Lin agreed wholeheartedly, and as Mu Sheng's inner sect disciples, they were able to give them face at all costs.
Huang Renpu smiled and said, "Senior Brother Mu, as a disciple of the master, why don't you stay on the mountain and practice with us?"
Mu Sheng said helplessly, "Master hopes that I will practice in the world and not stay in the mountain. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will often come to Yuzhen Sect to visit you..."
After the dinner, Mu Sheng and Hua Zilan led their horses out of Quancheng. When they were leaving, they waved goodbye to Lin Zhuer, Huang Renpu, junior brother Hong Ze, and junior sister Zhang Lin.
At this time, junior sister Zhang Lin rushed up and took Mu Sheng's arm, saying softly, "Senior Brother Mu, when will you come back?"
Mu Sheng looked at Zhang Lin's face that looked like the girl next door and sighed, "Junior sister, if we are destined to meet, we will meet."
"Senior brother, please don't forget the agreement between us?"
"Junior sister, don't worry, I will definitely not forget it." Mu Sheng said with certainty.
After saying that, Mu Sheng told Zhang Lin, "Junior sister, don't be so domineering and arrogant in the future. You will go down the mountain to practice in the world. If you still behave like this, you will cause a lot of trouble..."
Zhang Lin said impatiently, "Okay, okay, I understand! Senior brother, why are you like my great-grandfather? You talk about this every day, huh! I won't tell you anymore, I came to see you off with good intentions, just like I said this..."
After saying that, Zhang Lin shook off his hand and ran back.
Mu Sheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, hey! This little girl is really used to being lawless.
After waving goodbye to everyone, Mu Sheng and Hua Zilan mounted their horses and rode away.
On the way, Hua Zilan said, "Master, I think that junior sister seems to be interested in you."
Mu Sheng laughed and said, "How is it possible, in just a few days? No way, besides, I have no interest in movies about teenage girls like her."
Mu Sheng turned to Hua Zilan and asked, "How are you sure that my junior sister is interested in me?"
"A woman's intuition..."
Mu Sheng curled his lips helplessly. There are many times when this all-purpose reply is not reliable...
On the way back, Mu Sheng and Hua Zilan did not take the waterway back to the capital, but took the official road. The way back was to sail against the current. Taking the waterway was not much faster than taking the land route. Mu Sheng and Hua Zilan could also have fun on the way. , it is not easy to go out at ordinary times.
A few days later, the two of them had been driving for ten consecutive days. They looked into the distance and saw a big city not far away.
Mu Sheng said, "Fengjiu, after traveling for so long, why don't we go to the city and take a rest."
"Well, everything is up to the master's arrangement."
The two followed the caravan into the city. After entering the city, they found an inn and officially checked in.
Mu Sheng quickly asked the waiter to bring a bucket of hot water. He couldn't wait to jump in. After entering the water, Mu Sheng took a long breath. It was so comfortable! It seems that the fatigue of traveling these past few days has been swept away...
The next morning, after breakfast, Mu Sheng went out for a walk in the city market. As he stroked the sword in his hand last night, he remembered one more thing. Isn't this the good thing that the Green Snake Sect sold him? If the "salesperson" who met them in the market last time could still get in touch with this mysterious sect to see if they could get any further clues about the sword's origins.
After several days of research, Mu Sheng was even more convinced that this should be a set of magical instruments. He wanted to see if he could find out the spiritual practice of this sect. He was spending a lot of money to make a new set of magical instruments, which was better than this single one. The magic weapon must be much more powerful.
It just so happens that I still have a huge sum of several thousand gold in my hand, so I will try my luck here first. If I can't find it, I can go back to the capital, where I will definitely find traces of these people.
He walked around the city market for a whole day and found nothing, but he bought a lot of novel gadgets, so it was not a waste of time.
Mu Sheng took out a wooden sign from his arms with a strange symbol engraved on it. The Green Snake Sect salesperson gave it to Mu Sheng at that time, saying that if he wrote this secret sign where he lived, someone from the Green Snake Sect would come and contact him.
Mu Sheng returned to the hotel with the intention of giving it a try and drew this secret mark on the corner outside the door.
A few days later, Mu Sheng waited for three whole days but there was no movement. He sighed inwardly and shook his head. Let's go back to the capital first. He called Hua Zilan and the two of them and took their horses out of the city to go on their way. .
A few days later, the two of them dismounted their horses and rested at a tea shop on the official road. Many merchants in the tea shop also rested here, and it was quite lively with the bustle.
Mu Sheng called the waiter to serve a pot of good tea. While Mu Sheng and Hua Zilan were drinking tea and taking a break, a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman sat at their table without saying hello.
Seeing this, Mu Sheng smiled slightly and came. Ever since he left the city, he had always felt that someone was following them vaguely. Although he couldn't completely confirm it, he guessed that the symbol he drew might have worked. He and Hua Zi Lan didn't wait until he arrived at the tea shop before he finally showed up.
Mu Sheng did not take the initiative to greet him. The visitor made tea and drank it silently. After taking a sip of tea, he carefully looked around and explored the surrounding environment before lowering his voice and speaking to Mu Sheng and Hua Zilan. He bowed and said, "Please forgive me, the two immortals. I am Niu Sanpi, a disciple of the Green Snake Sect. I wonder what the two immortals have to do with this sect?"
Mu Sheng asked curiously, "Why are you, Green Snake Sect, so cautious recently? I still remember that your people dared to openly hawk in the market..."
Niu Sanbei smiled bitterly and said, "To be fair to the Immortal, have you ever heard of the new headmaster of Yuzhen Sect, Master Xuanqing?"
Mu Shengxin said that this matter could actually be blamed on his master?
Seeing Mu Sheng nodding, Niu Sanbei said, "The two immortals don't know something. After the new leader of Yuzhen Sect came to power, he actually proposed to unite Zhengyi Sect, Lingxuan Sect, Xuanyuan Sect, these three major sects, and various other sects. Small sects have united to rectify their origins and clean up the evil cultivators in the world. Of course, our sect is also among those being cleaned up."
"I, Niu Sanbei, was originally the branch director of the Green Snake Sect here. I used to have hundreds of disciples under my sect, but now most of them have been sent home. The current business can only be run by myself as the director. After all, we are just ordinary people. It is difficult for the Jianghu people to compete with the Xianjia sect, and the consequences will be dire if they do not know what to do."
"There is one more thing I want to inform the two immortals. From now on, our Green Snake Sect will no longer sell the magical artifacts of the immortal family. I also ask the two immortals to forgive me..."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he thought, okay! Now that we are cracking down hard, the Green Snake Sect can only strategically shrink and get over the limelight first, but he feels that this guy may not be telling the truth. If he really wants to sell nothing, what will the Green Snake Sect eat and drink?
Mu Sheng asked, "Is it true that your Green Snake Sect no longer sells magic weapons?"
Niu Sanbei said mysteriously, "I would like to warn the two Immortals, but it is not completely stopped. Our Green Snake Sect is mainly organizing underground auctions in secret. If the Immortal has rare treasures to sell, our Green Snake Sect can also do it." As guarantee..."
Well, now I am forced to transform into a trading platform.
Mu Sheng asked doubtfully, "Why does your Green Snake Sect provide guarantee? After all, it is an ordinary martial arts sect. Is there any guarantee?"
The reason why Mu Sheng asked this question was that in the monk world, there must be force behind the trading platform. The so-called wealth should not be revealed, otherwise who would dare to trade with good things easily?
Niu Sanbei's expression was gloomy and he seemed to be hesitant to speak. He cupped his hands to the two of them and said, "Please show me your sect's token."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he took out the wooden plaque that the Green Snake Gate salesman had given him. Hua Zilan beside him actually took out a silver plaque with symbols engraved on it from his arms.
Her brand is actually made of silver? Mu Sheng couldn't help but look at Hua Zilan a few more times.
Good guy, it seems that she has done a lot of business with the Green Snake Sect. Judging from the workmanship of this silver medal, the VIP level is definitely higher than him. It must have cost no less than ten thousand gold. I can’t tell that this woman has some foundation...
However, in the matter of cultivating Taoism, in addition to one's own talent, it is all about money from beginning to end. There is no other way, because the poor in literature and the rich in martial arts!
Niu Sanbei took a few more glances at the silver sign and said to the two of them, "I'm sorry, but the following words cannot be passed on to others at will. Please forgive me. I would like to take the liberty of asking what is the relationship between the two immortals?"
Hua Zilan and Mu Sheng answered almost at the same time.
Hua Zilan: "We are a couple of monks..."
Mu Sheng: "She is my fellow senior sister..."
"..."
Mu Sheng looked at Hua Zilan with some surprise, and had to compensate by saying, "Oh, both! We are both Taoist companions and fellow disciples..."
Hua Zilan looked at him with an annoyed look.
Only then did Niu Sanbei feel relieved and said to the two of them, "Two Immortals, don't you have to ask more questions? It's hard to say the following clearly. If it weren't for the fact that Senior Sister Immortal is an important customer of our sect, I must have left the table long ago, and I will ask the two immortals to deal with the offence."
Well, after working on it for a long time, Mu Sheng, a broken wooden brand that cost a thousand gold, is not worth hearing the following news?
Mu Sheng secretly determined in his heart that he would have to spend a lot of money to smash himself up as a VIP member in the future. I am so lazy and I am also a Qianhuhou, so I can afford it.
Niu Sanbei went on to say, "The two Immortal Chiefs, in fact, with the strength of our sect, they definitely cannot run the Xianjia Auction House. The Xianjia Auction House has always been dominated by the Yuzhen Sect, Zhengyi Sect, Lingxuan Sect, and Xuanyuan Sect. The business of the four major sects, especially the Yuzhen Sect, is out of reach of others, but the human resources accumulated by our Green Snake Sect over hundreds of years of development are unparalleled in the world, and even the four major sects cannot compare."
