[Ran^wen^Bookstore] It was not until the seventh day that Cheng Hou showed up in Tonglu Town. [For more exciting novels, please visit].
We haven't seen him for a long time. He has gained weight again. Although he is not as good as when he was in his prime, he has recovered to 70% to 80% of his condition. There are three layers of flesh on the back of his neck. He is panting before walking, like a slowly moving mountain of meat.
Wei Shiqi invited him to drink a few cups at the restaurant. Cheng Hou was injured, coughing constantly, and even spoke intermittently. According to the condition of his injury, he should have found a place to rest, but the battle in the capital had dragged on for so long. He was so uneasy that he dared not delay any longer, so he hurried to Tonglu Town. Unexpectedly, Wei Shiqi was still tired and had to wait for a long time.
Wei Shiqi didn't mention the three-month deadline, and simply asked Xu Changsheng about his current situation. Seeing that his face was flushed, he was panting, and his situation was not very good, he gave him a bright red Sky-Building Pill, for no other reason. , and calm his heart.
Chenghou accepted the elixir, knowing that it was a treasure, and he was reassured.
Wei Shiqi asked him to take the Tianbu Dan and rest for three days, and then set off with him to Huzigou, as he had other important matters to entrust him with.
It was a long day with nothing to do. Wei Shiqi took Qin and Yu for a walk around the town. There were no provocations from thoughtless assholes, nor teasing from the government officials. Everything was very peaceful, so peaceful that it made people lose interest.
Casinos, brothels, dancing pavilions and singing stations, wine and beauties, the pastimes and pleasures of the world, that's it. After experiencing the baptism of prosperity, everything in front of you may be novel, but there is no fun at all. Wei Shiqi's mind is not there Now, I just spend time with Qin Zhen and Yu Yao to relax.
Most women like to go shopping. Even if they don’t buy makeup, jewelry and clothes, it’s still good to look at them. People share this sentiment, and female nuns are not immune to this custom. Wei Shiqi was not impatient. Seeing them showing off their little girlish naivety, his mood gradually became more relaxed.
After spending the last three days and the last free time, the group finally set out on their way home.
Back in Huzigou, Wei Shiqi handed Jin Xiaodie to Xiaobai to settle down, and personally led Cheng Hou up the cliff to overlook Scarlet Star City.
Under the setting sun, the inside and outside of Chixing City were coated with a layer of golden light, making it look like a fairyland. However, the smoke was curling up from the kitchens, people were coming and going, cats and dogs were flying around, and the noise and vulgarity of the market pulled it back to the mortal world again. With joining the world, two completely opposite atmospheres merge into one, which does not make people feel abrupt.
Cheng Hou was shocked by what he saw in front of him, as if he was seeing a second Liantao City. Although the scale and structure were not the same, the core of the design was the same.
Chu Tianyou's painstaking efforts reappeared in the world again.
"How?" Wei Shiqi noticed something strange about him.
Cheng Hou was excited, pointing to the Dongming City ruins shrouded in black smoke, and said: "The inner city... this inner city..."
"Right now, the inner city is not very popular. In another five or seven years, it may be able to take on a somewhat larger scale. By then, immortals and mortals will live together, and everything will be on the right track."
"The currency used in the inner city..."
"Of course it's a fish-eye stone - if not, how could it attract monks from all over the world to come here?"
Chenghou suddenly understood. Taiyi Sect was wiped out, Liantao City was destroyed, and there were quite a few fish-eye stones scattered in the hands of the monks. If they knew that there was a second fairy city in the world, they would inevitably become curious, no matter how far away it was. Come and take a look too.
Wei Shiqi pointed at the dark Dongming City and said: "The outer city is Red Star, and the inner city is Dongming. They are built after Liantao City. You are in Taiyi Sect and you should know better than me. There is something wrong with the inner city. , it can’t be built in a short while, I plan to build the most basic framework first, and after much deliberation, it is most suitable to leave it to you."
Chenghou's heart skipped a beat and he asked cautiously, "Are they Siyan and Zhiku?"
Wei Shiqi glanced at him and said, "No, it's a street stall."
"Street stall?"
"You are an old member of the Taiyi Sect. You probably have an idea of the loose cultivators and the small outside sects in Liantao City back then. Find a way to contact them and go to Dongming City to do business or barter. Whether you buy or sell aphoplasts, or even if you lose money and make a profit, it is all your credit that you can revitalize Dongming City and build up its popularity."
Cheng Hou lowered his head and thought for a while, and understood what he meant. Although this matter was complicated, it was not impossible. If it was done well, he would also benefit from it.
"Okay, leave this matter to me."
"I can rest assured that you are doing the work." After a pause, Wei Shiqi continued, "There are many old acquaintances from the Immortal City in Scarlet Star City, including Xun Ye, Wei Rongniang, Chen Suzhen, and Cao Jinren. Be careful not to be recognized by them. Without you, there will be branches outside the knot."
Cheng Hou touched his oily cheek and said sadly: "I know. I'm afraid no one will recognize my face..."
"Toothless Hou Jiangcheng, your teeth are flawed after all. Find a way to get a pair of dentures."
"False teeth? What are those?"
Wei Shiqi described a few sentences, and for the first time he felt that the language was so feeble and he couldn't explain clearly.
Cheng Hou blinked his small eyes and smiled bitterly: "Well, I probably...maybe...maybe understand..."
That’s just not understanding. Wei Shiqi gave up his efforts and said: "Anyway, be careful. There are many sophisticated people in this place. It is a good idea to make yourself fatter, but don't be careless. Since you have changed your appearance, you should be more thorough."
Cheng Hou guessed what he meant, feeling cold in his heart.
"Dongming City is a ghost town. There are two people you need to pay attention to. One is the Ghost King. Well, you probably won't be able to meet him. The other is Xu Hu, the top thug under the Ghost King. He is blind. It's best to be polite to him. "
"Yes, I noted it down."
"Then, I'll leave it to you." Wei Shiqi patted his shoulder and walked away.
Chenghou watched him disappear into Jietian Ridge and thought to himself: "His ambition is not small, but I like..."
In the days that followed, Cheng Hou was recovering from his injuries while getting familiar with the operation of Scarlet Star City. Since then, Huzigou has gained a special sight. A fat man as big as a mountain of flesh was wandering around the city with a belly full of food. The food warehouse was amazing and his head was full of food. Sweating profusely and eating non-stop.
He spent the whole morning wandering around, and then he wandered into the inner city. It was a restricted area for mortals. Occasionally, the bold ones would sneak in and play, going in vertically and out horizontally. After a serious illness, most of their lives were lost. Not to mention the money spent, the bones of the body were ruined, and the disease lasted until old age. Everyone said that it was a ghost town, so sinister that no mortal could enter it. But the fat man wandered in, stayed there all afternoon, and wandered out again. Nothing happened. As time went by, everyone worshiped him as an immortal master and did not dare to neglect him.
However, Xu Tang, the prefect, knew Cheng Hou's identity. If he stayed in the capital, he would be the imperial advisor.
Cheng Hou never interfered in the affairs of Scarlet Star City. He kept to himself and kept his word. He even deliberately kept a distance from Chen Suzhen and Cao Jinren. Chen and Cao noticed this and did not suspect anything. They only thought that he was from Taiyi Sect. Although he was attached to Wei Seventeen, after all, he has a grudge.
In this way, with Cheng Hou's strong encouragement, Dongming City got its first visitor.
These monks are all casual cultivators, mostly from the southern barbarian lands. They once lived in Liantao City for a while, but due to lack of money, they went back in despair. This time they heard that there was an additional fairy city in the Kunlun Mountains of the Western Region, and they became very excited. , then followed Cheng Hou to have a look and join in the fun.
After passing through the crowded Scarlet Star City and arriving in front of Dongming City, the group of people marveled at the generosity of the city lord.
When asked about the identity of the city lord, Cheng Hou always smiled and said nothing.
