Baibe Village Market.
"So Maohe Chamber of Commerce has not come to Jiuli to do business for half a year? Did the boss suddenly realize that money is an external possession and change his career to charity?" Bai Yu, who was wearing a knight's costume, frowned.
On the opposite side, a certain traveling businessman from the Central Plains was fooled by the beauty and learned that he could talk about all kinds of things.
"It is rumored that the Maohe Chamber of Commerce has offended a big shot, and they can't stand up with just one sentence. I heard that they have spent the past six months to smoothen their relationship and beg the big shot to let them go. I find it hard to see~"
"Is that so...where can I find them?"
"There is a branch in Gushanji, the first town after leaving Jiuli along the trade road. You can go there and ask."
"Thank you."
Jiuli's Bai tribe and Black tribe are constantly arguing. Bai Yu is too lazy to worry about it. They have been fighting for thousands of years and are already familiar with it, so there is no need to get involved. When they are tired, they will stop. It is more important to do business.
He didn't go on the road alone, but went to the gathering area where caravans and merchants often stayed. Merchants like to travel together, so that they can bluff to prevent being robbed by strong men.
It was very hot, and only a few travelers were sleepy.
I took out the glutinous rice cakes from the package as a snack and sat under the tree to wait slowly. Walking alone would easily attract attention and expose my whereabouts, and it would be easier to hide if I got mixed up with the caravan crowd.
After looking at the number of people around, it seemed like I might not be able to leave today.
After waiting for three consecutive days, we finally gathered enough people to set off on the road. More than 200 people set off along the ancient mountain road. The packhorses carried Jiuli specialties back to the Central Plains for resale. On the road, we occasionally met caravans and acquaintances going to Jiuli. Greeting each other and saying peace, the men and women are tired of their travels.
There was a young and thin female ranger in the crowd who was also covered in dust. She was mingling with several female rangers and hurried on in a muffled voice.
There are few pedestrians on the ancient road, and passers-by clap their hands and sing folk songs.
When camping in the evening, acquaintances gathered together to light a fire to boil water and cook. Bai Yu, like the other heroines, went out to collect firewood, build a stove, and make a pot of lean meat porridge to share with the heroines. She restrained all her momentum and pretended to be an ordinary ranger. Drunk caravans from other caravans came over and teased him with alcohol, so they knocked him unconscious and threw him in the grass to feed the mosquitoes.
Take advantage of the opportunity to get acquainted with others and inquire about the Maohe Chamber of Commerce.
It was roughly the same. He had offended someone and was suppressed and ostracized. He was probably trying to find ways to clear the way or prepare to change his career. There was indeed a branch of the Maohe Chamber of Commerce in Gushanji.
"Maohe Chamber of Commerce, you must hold on..."
If the boss of the chamber of commerce knew that a dragon was blessing him, he would definitely be overjoyed.
at the same time.
In another caravan that was several days ahead, Lu and Gui were just drinking and no one was talking. What were they talking about? Could it be that the three of them were captured by the monster and forced to spend the whole day weeding and sweeping the courtyard? Once this incident spreads in the Central Plains, it will not only be embarrassing but also be scorned by others. In the world of high moral integrity, is it possible to die to prove one's ambition?
Perhaps Lu Gui gained the most. He learned many martial arts and martial arts in Baifu. The snake monsters would occasionally send some gifts as thanks. In addition to those frogs, mice, wild eggs, and a few elixirs and fruits, he was captured by the monsters and miraculously survived. Improved cultivation.
I don’t know whether I should be happy or depressed about this...
Returning to the human world, Lu Gui suddenly discovered that he didn't like to interact with people, and preferred to stay in the Southern Wilderness as a teacher of monsters, as he would have a better future in the White Mansion.
"Brothers, what are your plans for the future?" Lu Gui asked.
The two of them smiled bitterly. It was difficult for a wandering cultivator to get along, with poor qualifications, no background, and no resources. They finally gritted their teeth and decided to come to the Southern Wilderness and work hard in exchange for resources. They narrowly escaped death and became the captives of monsters. It was not easy to practice.
The man who had been seriously injured and nearly died sighed.
"Forget it, so what if we struggle hard, if we can't live long and run around until we die, we might as well start a family while we're young, leave a lasting legacy, and spend the rest of our lives as a rich man.
Friendly reminder: Please pay attention to resting your eyes when reading for a long time. 00Recommended reading:
It's actually pretty good. "
Another man named Zhang nodded.
"I also have this plan. I will go back and enjoy my life as a nobleman, marry several women and have children, hehe~"
"Hahaha~"
The three of them laughed, laughed and then fell silent.
"Brother Lu, what about you, do you want to continue on or leave the spiritual world to marry, have children and spend the rest of your life? It's hard for monks like us to get ahead. It's better to live seventy years of leisurely life than eighty years of exhaustion. Brother Lu What do you think?"
"I……"
Lu Gui hesitated.
What the two companions in life and death said is right. It is difficult for casual cultivators without background, qualifications or resources to go far on the road of spiritual practice. Instead of working hard and working hard to live for eighty years, it is better to enjoy the wealth and wealth of the world for seventy years. On one side, there are darling wives and beautiful concubines, and on the other side, they have to go through all kinds of hardships and sleep in the open air until they die alone. But what if there is a chance to improve?
"Let's talk about it later. Let's go home first."
The other two people no longer persuade each other. Everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force others to do something you don't want to do.
"Come, have a drink and celebrate our return alive!"
"Drink~!"
The raging fire illuminated the greasy and rough faces of several men. They drank heavily and laughed loudly. They used alcohol to celebrate that they were still alive. They laughed and cried again. They shouted to go back and marry more wives and have children. They drank and ate meat every day...
Vicissitudes of life.
…
Gushanji.
The sun is scorching and the sky is blue.
Bai Yu lifted up his straw hat and looked at the flag with the three characters Gushanji written on it. His fine clothes were dusty and dusty, and his ponytail had not been washed for a long time. His face was dirty. He did not use any spells on the way and pretended to be an ordinary ranger. After many days, they finally arrived at their destination, and the caravans dispersed. The heroines said goodbye and found a place to rest.
Compared with the Central Plains, Gushanji has a rough and heroic feel. There are not many elegant people in long robes and big sleeves. There are only some knights and burly men in costumes, coming and going in full swing.
To the south of Gushanji, you can take a boat at Dajiang Pier. To the east, there is an official road leading to the south of the Yangtze River, which is an important transportation route.
You can see many Jiuli Mountain residents in the town, people coming and going.
Bai Yu was carrying a package on his back, and an umbrella was tied to the package. On his back was a horizontal knife wrapped in a strip of cloth.
I tightened my bag on my shoulders and asked for the location of the Maohe Chamber of Commerce. I quickly found an abandoned and prosperous store. It was difficult for the words "deserted and prosperous" to go together. But at the moment, the location of the Maohe Chamber of Commerce store was both deserted and prosperous. There was a sign at the door. Guarded by four strong men with arms thicker than their legs, the store was in a mess, as if it had been robbed by thieves. No one came near, and the door was deserted. The store was abandoned, but the location was very good and crowded with pedestrians.
Come to the door and look at the plaque to confirm that it is the Maohe Chamber of Commerce.
"Um...can you let me in?"
A certain Jiao asked with an extremely polite smile, trying not to cause trouble or reveal his whereabouts.
The four muscular men were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed. They were beguiled by the beauty of a certain dragon and couldn't help but rely on strength to do things in the free land between the Southern Wasteland and the Central Plains.
"The beauty belongs to the Maohe Chamber of Commerce? That's troublesome. The Maohe Chamber of Commerce owes us a lot of money and can't pay it back, so why should we ask this girl to come with us?"
Reaching out to grab someone on the street...
Bang!
The strong man stretched out his hand and was hit by the oil-paper umbrella, his cheek was crooked, his saliva and teeth flew away, and then he kicked another person in the chest. The strong man flew into the rouge shop opposite, causing a burst of screams and was violently beaten by the heroine. The paper umbrella swept left and right, and the other two The person was knocked unconscious on the spot.
"It's wrong to block the road."
