Not long after, Shan Mansion Manager led a group of people to tidy up the guest room and make beds. Then the table in the living room was filled with various dishes and drinks. The steward of Shan Mansion said politely to Jining: "The young master's family has important matters and cannot dine with the young master. The young master's family is deeply disturbed and asks me to apologize on my behalf! The guest room upstairs has been tidied up. After the young master has finished his meal, he can go upstairs to wash up and rest. !”
Jining nodded noncommittally. When the manager saw Jining nodded, he hurriedly left!
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Jining didn't take down his chopsticks. Instead, he picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine. He took a sip and felt that it tasted ordinary. After drinking the spirit wine at Old Man Meng, Jining felt that he had a little liking for wine, and he liked the mellow and sweet taste of the wine after its spiciness!
After thinking of this, Jining took out the jar of spiritual wine that Old Man Meng gave him from his Xumi bracelet. He opened the jar and the aroma of wine instantly filled the entire living room. He poured a glass into the wine glass and looked at the clear and transparent glass. Jining picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the spirit wine, which was like jade liquid. The wine was very strong, and a spicy and burning sensation rushed to his throat, and then a hint of coolness flowed to his Dantian.
Maybe he encountered too many things today that affected his state of mind. When he drank the spirit wine, Jining felt that his cultivation that had been stagnant for a long time was loosening.
But Jining did not go to practice, but continued to taste the spiritual wine and the delicious food on the table.
After having enough wine and food, we went upstairs to wash away the dust of the road, then used the seven-star disc to place a ban, and then went down to rest. Maybe it was because I had been thinking about the ten-year promise along the way. Today I finally arrived at Luodu City, and every stone in my heart has finally fallen to the ground.
Jining lay down for a long time before he started to feel faint. He slept very soundly, and when he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Jining looked at the sun in the sky and was a little surprised. When he woke up today, he found that his cultivation had improved, and he felt that he had reached the seventh level of Immortality Technique. I guessed that it might be the spiritual nourishment of the spirit wine and the change in my mood that made my cultivation level rise unknowingly.
Jining was in a good mood and changed into a clean gown. Jining put away the seven-star tray and was about to go downstairs. His spiritual consciousness swept across the living room and found a bamboo steamer on the dining table in the living room. There were several side dishes and a bowl of porridge in the bamboo steamer. In addition, the washing water is poured and placed beside it. The steward was standing outside the living room yesterday. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time!
When the steward saw Jining coming downstairs, he hurriedly greeted him and said that after Jining had breakfast, he would take Jining to meet the owner of their Jubao Pavilion.
Jining was a little dumbfounded after hearing this. A common man asked him to go over and see him. He felt a little unhappy and said, "Your boss is so arrogant, but I'm still missing!".
Perhaps because this affected his mood, Jining no longer had the desire to have breakfast, so he prepared to leave without intending to have breakfast.
The manager didn't expect this young man to be so arrogant. He was still respectful and polite on the surface, but he also felt a little unhappy in his heart and secretly said: "My master is also a well-known figure in Luodu City. If it weren't for the recent bloody turmoil in Luodu City, I also see that you are good at it." , I just want to win you over. How could a little guy like you see my master normally?"
Jining's spiritual consciousness noticed the steward's thoughts, and said to the steward without taking it to heart: "Your young master and I met by chance, and we say goodbye today!".
After saying that, he walked towards the door of Shan Mansion in a carefree manner. At this time, the steward was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this young man in ordinary clothes would be so arrogant and leave immediately. He was afraid that his master would blame him if he left, so he quickly tried to stop him, but this young man seemed to have a special ability that prevented him from getting close, so he could only watch Jining leave.
Seeing this, I had to report to the master. The steward hurriedly walked through the backyard towards Shan's master's usual resting place. The Shan's head's usual resting place was not far from the backyard. It was also a two-story building, but it was larger than the house Jining lived in yesterday. There is an exquisite courtyard in front of the door, which is filled with various precious flowers and plants.
The steward quickly walked through the courtyard and walked into the building. After passing through two more doors, he entered a study room. The study room was originally large, but it seemed a bit crowded inside. The study room was filled with all kinds of books and antiques. There is an antique desk made of unknown material on the front of the study room. On the desk are a few books, an obsidian inkstone, a few pens and seals, and an ink box.
A thin, middle-aged man wearing Chinese clothes was sitting at the desk, reading an ancient book. At this time, he saw the steward coming in alone. As if he had guessed something, he asked: "Yuanfang, why is that young man not here?"
The steward named Yuan Fang cautiously replied: "Sir, this young man is arrogant and arrogant. We have already treated him with courtesy, but he seems to want the master to come to visit him personally and is unwilling to bend down to see the master." !”
After hearing this, a middle-aged man in fine clothes snorted with some displeasure: "If I hadn't saved the young master yesterday, how could I have met such an unknown person? It's okay for someone who doesn't know what's good and what's good! Are you ready to pay the money?" The silver thing will be given to him at the inn where he will stay, and it will be regarded as a reward from Shan Mansion!" Then he waved the steward to go down.
After the steward left, he saw that the bookcases on one wall of the study had been removed by a mechanism, revealing a dark room. A middle-aged man wearing a green robe, with a strange appearance and a long head and neck walked out of it. He said to the head of the Shan family who was sitting in the study: "Shan Yin, there has been an undercurrent in Luodu City recently and something big is going to happen. I heard you tell me about Wen Tian being assassinated in the city yesterday. Can this young man be rescued from the masters of the Dongshan Society?" Wen Tian, this young man should be very skilled, and now is the time to employ people, so it would be a pity to let him leave like this!"
“Mr. , No matter how the winds and clouds surge in Luodu City, the Jubao Pavilion is still as stable as Mount Tai!" Shan Yin said with a smile.
Mr. Xue's tense expression improved a little after hearing the news.
After Jining walked out of Shanfu, he arrived at Nanshan Street not long after. Yesterday, it may have been dark and there were few pedestrians, but it was a different situation during the day. At this time, the street was full of people and busy with traffic. Jining saw a beautifully decorated teahouse on the street. After thinking about it, he walked in and found that the hall was already full of guests drinking morning tea. Seeing that there was no room left, he asked the shopkeeper for a private room by the window. Although the waiter It is said that private rooms are expensive.
Jining sat by the window in the elegant room and drank tea leisurely. In fact, he was not as leisurely as others thought. His spiritual consciousness was released and he listened carefully to what the diners in the tea house were talking about. After his experience along the way, he found that the teahouse is a good place to get information.
"Hey, I've been so exhausted lately! There are endless cases every day! It would be better for you to be assigned to the Xicheng Dynasty for duty!" At this time, Jining heard two young people dressed as businessmen whispering in the lobby on the first floor. Talking.
"You are just a little tired. I don't know where I am in the imperial city and when my head is separated!" Another official said, and then asked the other official what major cases had happened recently.
Jining roughly guessed from the conversation between the two servants that something happened in the imperial city. Then all the forces in the DPRK and China remained silent on the surface, but in fact some underworld forces in Luodu City were ready to make a move! As a result, assassinations occurred frequently in the city. It's just that these two tolerance workers are working at the bottom, so it's not clear what happened in the imperial city.
Jining looked up and saw that it was already noon, so he decided to find a place to stay first. Jining walked out of the teahouse and crossed Nanshan Street, then walked through several blocks and found an inn to stay in on a small street called Hefang Lane.
Hefang Lane is the junction between the south and east of the city. It is not far from the foot of Buzhou Mountain. It is home to ordinary people who have lived in Luodu City for generations. On the opposite side of Buzhou Mountain, most of the guests who come to Buzhou Mountain will come to Hefang Alley to hang out, eat some local snacks in Luodu City and buy some local specialty handicrafts. Therefore, these local people are basically engaged in small business and hawkers, making and selling. Live life with local handicrafts, specialty snacks, cultural relics and antiques.
The streets of Hefang Lane are not long, but there are densely packed two-story buildings on both sides of the streets. Although the streets look a little dilapidated, the densely packed shops make it feel lively and vibrant.
The inn where Jining lives is on the street of Hefang Lane. The inn is not a three-story wooden building. The building seems to have been antique for some years. The name of the inn is somewhat special, "Yanyuxuan".
Maybe there are small businessmen and hawkers around here, which makes it a bit noisy and makes wealthy merchants not want to live here. Or maybe it is too early today. Jining entered the inn and found that there were not many guests staying in the inn, so Jining chose one. A room on the third floor and paid in advance for half a month.
What surprised Jining was that he stayed there not long ago. A steward from the Shan Mansion came here and presented some gold and silver treasures to Jining as a reward for helping Shan Wentian yesterday.
After hearing this, Jining accepted it without any politeness, thus ending his relationship with the Shan family.
After the steward of the mansion left, Jining looked at how early it was. Remembering the feeling of having a breakthrough in the Secret of Immortality in the morning, Jining didn't want to wander around.
Preparing to start practicing in the room, Jining waved his hand lightly and the seven-star disk appeared in his hand. Then he placed spiritual stones in the five corners of the seven-star disk to set restrictions. After completing the restriction settings, he took out a dozen spiritual stones and pressed them in front of him. After placing them in a certain pattern, you can meditate and practice. It didn't take long for Jining to fall into trance. The spiritual power of the spirit stone placed in front of him was drawn out by the spirit-gathering jade pendant on his chest, and was absorbed into Jining's body with the operation of the longevity formula.
