"Father-in-law, if you are a little tight on money right now, that's okay."
Zhong Wenwu smiled to himself, and the old man said quietly, "We can discuss the content of the dowry first, and it won't be too late to give it to you when you have more money. We are all a family. Can't my son-in-law still push you?"
"What a fart, I'm in a pinch for money? I, the Yama Palace, are extremely rich, with treasures piled up like mountains, and spiritual crystals as vast as the sea!"
Ji Gu is originally a person with a peaceful personality, even a bit lazy, but for some reason, when facing Zhong Wen, he is always easily provoked to anger, "But why should I take advantage of you, kid?"
"Father-in-law, you are a person who values rules."
Zhong Wen said reluctantly, "You need to give a dowry when you marry a daughter. This is a rule from ancient times."
"What rules?"
Ji Gu was stunned by him, but he quickly came to his senses, and simply said like a rogue, "Other places have this rule, but we don't have it in Hell Valley!"
No?
Then when I got married, what were the two houses and the 10,000 acres of farmland given to me by my wife’s family?
Soft rice?
The Lord of the Palace is really...
The Rakshasa Walker shook his head and complained secretly. He felt that the words and deeds of the palace master during the recent period were so unsightly that he was simply disgraced and thrown into the outside world.
"When other families marry their daughters, they try their best to provide more dowry in order to prevent the daughter from being wronged by her husband's family in the future."
Zhong Wen wasn't angry either. He just sighed, shook his head and said, "It seems that Sister Shiyu's weight in my father-in-law's heart is nothing more than this."
"Fart, fart!"
Ji Gu's hair suddenly exploded, and his voice instantly rose an octave, "Xiaoyu is my darling, my heart, how could it be so insignificant? Don't be so arrogant!"
Zhong Wen didn't speak, just shrugged, spread his hands and smiled.
joke!
You don't even want to give me a dowry, but you still have a grudge?
Blow, keep blowing!
From his eyes, Ji Kui could read undisguised sarcasm and contempt.
"Isn't it just a dowry?"
Shi Kui finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted loudly, "What do you want? Just say it!"
"My father-in-law has to manage such a large Hell Valley, so the expenses are quite high."
A smile flashed in Zhong Wen's eyes, "My son-in-law naturally doesn't dare to ask for more. I just need to give him exactly the same as the betrothal gift."
Shi Gu's face froze, and his expression was indescribably embarrassed.
Don't look at him and make the Palace of Hell become rich and rich, with gold and jade piled up. In fact, what Zhong Wen said is really right.
The economic conditions in Hell Valley are very embarrassing!
After all, Shi Kui himself is a hands-off shopkeeper, and none of the divine generals and ten ghosts under his command are good at making money. If it weren't for the Rakshasa Walker's exhausting efforts to maintain it, the entire Yama Palace might have collapsed.
Although the betrothal gift brought by Zhong Wen this time did not have any unparalleled treasures, it was after all taken from two large areas rich in resources, the Spiritual Sea and the Zizitian. It can be said that there are many categories and the amount of goods on the truck is dazzling and dizzying.
With the current financial strength of Yama Palace, not to mention getting an exact copy, even if it is only half, it is far beyond what Shi Gu can afford.
This is also the reason why Rakshasa Monk was relieved after seeing the many betrothal gifts sent by the psychic sea, and had an inexplicable liking for Zhong Wen.
etc!
Exactly the same?
Then why don't I return the things he sent to me?
Anyway, I don’t care about his property!
Seeing the disdain in Zhong Wen's eyes getting thicker and thicker, Ji Kui couldn't bear it, and his brain immediately started working hard. After thinking hard, an idea suddenly came to him, and he came up with such a good idea.
"Okay, let's just say it..."
"My father-in-law is really generous, and my son-in-law admires him!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhong Wen interrupted with a smile, "But these betrothal gifts are for Sister Shiyu, and you still have to pay for the dowry yourself. I guess with your status as father-in-law, you won't be able to make such a big decision." Isn’t it an embarrassment to return a gift from your son-in-law as a dowry?”
"this……"
Ji Gu didn't expect that his idea would be seen through so quickly. While secretly scolding the other party for being treacherous and cutting off his escape route with one sentence, he tried hard to formulate sentences and try to make a suitable response.
"My son-in-law just said it casually. Of course my father-in-law would not do such a dishonorable thing."
He deliberately emphasized the word "no quality" very hard, and then said half-truthfully, "Besides, most of the things sent by my son-in-law have the mark of the Psychic Sea. Even if they want to impersonate, they will be seen through at a glance. Miles."
Do you want to be so meticulous?
Hearing these words, Shi Kui broke out in a cold sweat, secretly thinking that he was in danger. At the same time, under Zhong Wen's words, he was also very anxious that he could not provide an equivalent dowry.
I had already boasted so much before, but if I couldn't say it now, wouldn't I be slapped in the face in an instant?
Especially facing Zhong Wen, an annoying boy, Shi Kui didn't want to lose face at all costs.
"Of course, this is just a suggestion from my son-in-law. Spiritual crystals and elixirs are vulgar things after all."
Just when he was anxious, he heard Zhong Wen say again, "If my father-in-law has any better suggestions, my son-in-law should be all ears."
"Yes, yes, giving these gifts is indeed too tacky and inconsistent with my status."
Ji Gu's eyes lit up, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. He nodded repeatedly and echoed, "If you like something more tasteful, you might as well tell me."
"To be honest with my father-in-law, my son-in-law has loved reading since he was a child, ranging from astronomy and geography to poetry and history, as well as playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, spiritual skills and martial arts. He can read whatever he catches, and he can't put it down."
Finally when he said this, Zhong Wen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a very calm expression on his face, "My father-in-law is a well-educated man at first glance. There must be a lot of books in Yama Palace. If you can lend it to your son-in-law to read, it will be considered a good one." I’ve paid the dowry, what do you think?”
"Book collection?"
Ji Gu's expression was stagnant, his eyes flickered, and he hesitated, "This... the library contains a lot of martial arts and spiritual skills. If I let you borrow them, I'm afraid..."
"No need to take it out."
Zhong Wen quickly interrupted, "I just need to let my son-in-law read in the library of your palace for half a day and a day."
"Is this true?"
There was an indescribable light shining in Shigui's eyes, and his tone was somewhat strange.
"Absolutely." Zhong Wen nodded firmly.
"good!"
Ji Kui slammed the table and said loudly, "It's a deal!"
Looking at his proud and excited expression, Zhong Wen's heart skipped a beat, and he felt something bad.
…
Is this a library?
Nima, it’s just a small study room, okay?
Looking at the room in front of him that could be seen all the way to the end, and the rows and rows of bookshelves inside that were not too dense, Zhong Wen's eyes were wide open, his mouth was so big, he almost couldn't believe his eyes.
It is no exaggeration to say that the area of the Yama Palace library is even smaller than the slightly better primary school library in Blue Star.
Ironically, there is such a small bookstore, but there are three big characters with dragons and phoenixes hanging outside the door.
Tibetan! Book! building!
It feels a bit absurd to pretend to be fat.
If this is just the end of it, in such a room of books, most of them are miscellaneous books on Yin Yang and Five Elements, Qi Men Dun Jia and other miscellaneous books, many of which are made up by charlatans, but Zhong Wen really wants to The necessary skills and spiritual skills are pitifully few.
No wonder there is a shortage of talented people in Yama Palace and there is no shortage of talented people!
What the hell, it turns out they are all a bunch of scumbags who don’t like studying!
Zhong Wen's face was full of disappointment, and he kept complaining in his heart. Only then did he understand why Shi Kui had agreed so readily.
If you can pay for Shiyu's dowry with such a few old books, what's the difference between getting no dowry?
It’s simply not a good deal!
You can obviously grab it, but you were kind enough to take me around this small bookstore. I really appreciate it!
"Shameless old man!"
After all, Zhong Wen couldn't hold it back and cursed directly. Then he shook his head and walked towards a bookshelf in front of him with a look of despair. He raised his hand and included a book "Hell Scenes and Hearings" in the "Xinhua Zang" "In the Jing Pavilion".
After all, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is nothing but meat.
"When the number of 'Miscellaneous Studies' books reached 100,000, please draw lots to get rewards: 1. Detailed explanation of the Gate of Chaos; 2. Surprise or surprise; 3. Detailed explanation of the Gate of Hell."
However, a line of small words on the bookshelf panel of the "Xinhua Sutra Pavilion" made him feel happy.
It turns out that he has collected a lot of miscellaneous books, almost reaching the edge of 100,000 volumes. Now, although the collection of books in the Yama Palace is small, it happens to form the last piece of the puzzle, and it actually triggers a lottery opportunity.
Draw lots!
After staring at these three awards, which were not very exciting to him, for a long time, Zhong Wen finally decided to try on his own and did not borrow the luck of others.
"Congratulations on getting the award: Surprise or not, unexpected or not!"
Nowadays, Zhong Wen has top-notch martial arts and spiritual skills in hand, and he can face this upgrade reward indifferently, with almost no disturbance in his heart.
"Surprise or surprise: Randomly select a book of exercises or spiritual skills from the Xinhua Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and upgrade it to the level of a god. It cannot be reused. Once upgraded, it will not be returned. Do you want to use it now?"
Familiar words, familiar processes.
After Zhong Wen silently recited the word "yes", the dazzling golden light fell from the sky again, swayed back and forth on the bookshelf for a moment, and finally stopped at a certain position.
This is……
Seeing the selected technique clearly, Zhong Wen's heart skipped a beat and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
It turned out to be the first skill that Zhong Wen practiced after time travel.
one! gas! long! born! Secret!
