We hugged each other quietly, not knowing how long it had been. Suddenly, Zhuang Buzhou glanced at the empty lobby, smiled slightly and said, "Yueru, the guests are already here."
"This time I will conduct the transaction. You will see what I do first. When the time comes, if I am not here and a guest comes, you will conduct the transaction. I have opened the permissions on the other side for you to conduct time transactions. and buying and selling.”
In the other side, His will is everything.
"Are there any guests?"
When Li Yueru heard this, she blinked her eyes, showing a hint of strong interest.
"Well, let's go there."
Zhuang Buzhou smiled indifferently, and as soon as he thought about it, both his and Li Yueru's faces and figures became hazy. In this other shore, no one can spy, and there is no need to worry about the danger of the identity being leaked.
Zhuang Buzhou sat behind the counter, while Li Yueru stood quietly to the side.
brush! !
In the lobby, a ripple appeared, and then, a very old figure walked in.
"It turned out to be him."
Zhuang Buzhou understood clearly.
There are four major families in Qingyun City, Zhang family, Liu family, Zhao family, and Sun family. Each family has been inherited for more than hundreds of years. The family has a great business and has experienced ups and downs along the way. But now, after all, it is a powerful family standing at the top of Qingyun City.
The person who came in front of her was the ancestor of the Zhao family, the old lady, who was respectfully called grandmother in the Zhao family and known to the outside world as Mrs. Zhao. He is extremely skillful, careful with calculations, and has a good way of making money. Today, his role is indispensable for the Zhao family to be what it is today.
However, she is already very old, ninety-two years old.
She has lived for ninety-two years.
The deadline is not far away, I'm afraid.
However, Zhuang Buzhou still subconsciously glanced at her remaining time.
"Seven years, three months, sixteen days, three hours, eleven minutes, six seconds, five seconds, four seconds..."
"With a lifespan of a hundred years, she is a spiritual master."
A strange look flashed in Zhuang Buzhou's eyes, but it disappeared in the next second. If this grandmother of the Zhao family were an ordinary person, it would be difficult for her to live for a hundred years. Only a spiritual master could theoretically live to the limit of a hundred years. The premise is that he does not die accidentally or die under a curse.
Therefore, he was almost certain that the grandmother of the Zhao family should be the spiritual master.
The aura on his body is much more subtle and deeper than that of ordinary people.
"Welcome to the other side."
These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and then he smiled and said.
"Is this the other side? You can buy time and life here."
Grandma Zhao looked around curiously, but there was a trace of uncontrollable excitement in her heart.
He was secretly shocked: there really is another shore, those people did not lie, the other shore really exists, and Lao Liu really got time here, allowing himself to extend his life. Time can really be traded, and the spiritual master's Life span can really be increased. Could it be that the spiritual master really has a way forward and a future?
He suppressed the shock in his heart.
Walking to the counter, she looked at Zhuang Buzhou and Li Yueru, trying to remember their appearance, but there was no way. This made her dare not look down upon them in the slightest, and at the same time, there was more awe in her heart. and expectations.
"My surname is Zhao, Zhao Yue'e, and I have met the Lord of the Other Shore."
Zhao Yue'e took a deep breath and spoke.
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Zhao. If you come to my other side, you will be my guest. My surname is Zhuang. You can call me Mr. Zhuang. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Zhao needs."
Zhuang Buzhou smiled calmly.
"I heard that you can buy time and life here."
Zhao Yue'e asked slightly uneasily.
When it comes to longevity, no one can remain indifferent, especially the spiritual master.
Being a spirit master is miserable. Only when you contract a cursed relic and become a spirit master, your lifespan will be increased to a hundred years. But then, no matter what level you are in, there is almost no way to increase your lifespan, because the cursed relic, It is not my own spiritual root at all, it is always a foreign object that comes from the contract. It also contains a curse.
A hundred years is a long life for ordinary people, but a short life for monks.
One hundred years for innateness, two hundred years for foundation building, four hundred years for earth evil, eight hundred years for Tiangang, one thousand six hundred years for soul gathering, and three thousand two hundred years for soul condensation. Six thousand and four hundred years in the True Spirit Realm, 12,800 years in the Enlightenment Realm, and immortality in the Hunyuan Realm.
However, a spiritual master who was made by contracting a cursed relic is only a hundred years old, and may not even be available yet.
No matter how powerful you are, eventually, when your lifespan is up, you will die. When you die, all the accumulation will be attributed to the cursed relic. This is a kind of contract. When you are alive, it belongs to the spiritual master, and when you die, it belongs to the cursed relic.
Therefore, in the world of spiritual practice, there is a saying that the cursed relic of iron is the spiritual master of flowing water.
Cursed relics, as the number of contractors increases, their level and power will become more powerful.
It is said that when a spiritual master breaks through the realm, he cannot gain lifespan, which is the biggest destiny curse of cursed relics.
But there are also advantages. With the cursed relic of the contract, you can completely rely on the power of the cursed relic to gain the power that normal monks can accumulate in decades or hundreds of years in the shortest possible time. A top-level cursed relic can even forcibly kill a powerful orthodox Qi practitioner.
Of course, whether there are other ways to increase life span is not within the scope of Zhuang Buzhou's consideration.
Yes, that's for sure.
However, this has nothing to do with him, nor does it have anything to do with ordinary spiritual masters.
"Yes, as long as you pay enough, your wishes will be fulfilled on the other side, even if you have to buy time."
Zhuang Buzhou quickly converged his thoughts and said with a smile: "If you want to buy time, you need to follow the rule of one inch of time and one inch of gold. One pound of gold can buy one day of time. Here, the transaction is in time currency or It can be measured by calling it the currency of the other side. Any item can be exchanged to buy time."
"A pound of gold a day?"
When Zhao Yue'e heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly.
She is not the old Mrs. Liu before. As a spiritual master, she understands the preciousness of gold even more. This is a valuable item that can contain the relic of suppressing the curse. It is also a hard currency among any spiritual masters. For example, Zhuang Buzhou saw silver talisman money and gold talisman money before. In essence, it is made of gold and silver, tempered with essence, and engraved with the power of special incense. It is not a talisman paper.
The price of a pound of gold per day is not low.
Why weird things don't usually happen in the homes of powerful people is because there is enough gold and silver in the house. Even Mr. Liu knew that shelf boxes made of gold and silver were used to place cursed relics. To a certain extent, this information was not a secret among some people.
“I trade in other items and you see what the price of those items is.”
Zhao Yue'e took a deep breath, calmed down the turmoil in her heart, and continued.
With a thought, under the power of the other side, various items belonging to Zhao Yue'e soon appeared in the lobby.
There are three thousand catties of gold, four hundred thousand taels of silver, and a thousand volumes of various classics. Among them, ordinary poems and classics account for hundreds of volumes, and there are less than a dozen volumes of books that actually involve spiritual practice. There are also a dozen cursed relics and more.
There are a lot of them, and it’s really dazzling at a glance.
"Do I need to exchange all of these?"
Zhuang Buzhou looked at Zhao Yue'e calmly and asked.
Then he also explained the rules of the transaction to him. Once you start trading, it means that you have no regrets about the transaction, and you have to sign a contract.
"trade!!"
Zhao Yue'e took a deep breath, nodded heavily and said.
This is the accumulation of the Zhao family from generation to generation, and the resources she has worked hard to obtain are naturally very precious, but compared with her own lifespan, everything is worth it.
"Three thousand catties of gold, three thousand coins from the other side, four hundred thousand taels of silver, which is four thousand coins, nine hundred and seventy-six volumes of ordinary poetry and scriptures, worth ten coins, fifteen volumes of spiritual books, three thousand one hundred and two Ten pieces. There are thirteen cursed relics, all of which are yellow grade. Six of the ninth grade, three of the eighth grade, three of the seventh grade, and one of the sixth grade. The value is 2,500 pieces. In total, the exchanged The other bank’s coins are twelve thousand six hundred and thirty.”
"If you want to exchange it all for time life, you can get thirty-four and a half years."
Zhuang Buzhou quickly estimated the value of the items in front of him. There might be some differences, but it was generally correct.
"Thirty-four and a half years? How much life do I have left now?"
Zhao Yue'e's old body couldn't help but tremble. Even she, facing such a short amount of time, could never maintain her inner peace.
Thirty-four and a half years, if you can get this, you can instantly surpass the fate of being a hundred years old.
"You have seven years, three months, sixteen days, two hours, fifty-four minutes, forty-seven seconds left, forty-six seconds, forty-five seconds..." Zhuang Buzhou smiled calmly. , calmly said a number, and the seconds that kept going back behind it gave people a chilling feeling.
My back is chilling.
"Do I really only have so many years left? Sure enough, the fate of the spiritual master is approaching. However, if I can add thirty-four years, I can have more than forty years of remaining time." Zhao Yue'e There was a sparkle in his cloudy eyes.
The most important thing is that this means that she has broken the established destiny.
If you can extend your life this time, you will definitely be able to do so next time.
"Mr. Zhuang, I want to trade."
Zhao Yue'e took a deep breath and spoke decisively.
"Very good, this is the contract. Take a look at it carefully. If there are no problems, then sign it and the transaction will begin."
Zhuang Buzhou smiled lightly, waved his hand, took out the contract, and handed it to Zhao Yue'e.
The contract is as simple and straightforward as ever.
There is already a word 'zhuang' left in Party A's position.
"There's no problem with the contract, I'll sign it."
Zhao Yue'e quickly read the contract. With such a simple contract, even ordinary people can understand its meaning. Even if you are illiterate, the contract can let you understand its meaning.
Soon, they signed and stamped their names and pressed their fingerprints.
brush! !
As the contract was signed, golden light flashed on the contract scroll, and a golden scale appeared on the counter. There were two trays at both ends of the scale. At this moment, a light flashed on one of the trays. The gold and silver, ancient books, and cursed relics that Zhao Yue'e took out for trading naturally fell to the right. Then, the scale tilted to the right. .
