Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 103: I won’t pay the bill
"Old man? Why don't you reply? What are you doing?"
The sound came from the back room, and with the rustling of getting dressed and the sound of footsteps, the woman inside also opened the curtain and walked out. She saw her husband collapsed on the ground with sweat on his face, gasping for air. .
The woman was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down to help him. As soon as she helped him, she found that Zuo Boran's body was stiff.
"Oops, what's wrong with you, old man!?"
When he reached out and touched it, Zuo Boran's hair was even wet. Looking at Zuo Boran's slightly pale face, he hurriedly rubbed his husband's chest to help him feel better.
Perhaps it was the warmth of his wife's hands that finally made Zuo Boran relax a little, and he circulated the energy in his body to calm himself down.
"Hoo...hoo...just now, I thought I was going to die..."
"What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost!"
"Shh~~~!"
Zuo Boran immediately became excited and looked at the door carefully.
"Don't talk nonsense, I have seen God! The judges and judges under the City God of Juntian Mansion, the civil and military judges are all here, they were there just now!"
Zuo Boran pointed to the seat in front of the Eight Immortals table with lingering fear.
"Huh... I thought it was my end of life, but the two judges said that it was because of the master's instructions that I came to set the lintel... Huh..."
Zuo Boran still spoke with vibrato. The heart palpitations caused by being in close contact with ghosts and gods are beyond imagination, and it is not as exciting as when Mr. Shu heard the story. He was still afraid.
But at this time, a slight sense of excitement was also rising and gradually getting stronger. It didn't take long for Zuo Boran to go from pale to rosy.
Zuo Boran is considered a martial arts practitioner after all. He rubbed his legs and stood up from the ground. He walked to the Eight Immortals table and looked at the calligraphy on the table. He remembered that Mr. Ji had said that he would go and say hello to the City God of Juntian Mansion. Sure enough, The judge arrived that night.
Over there, Zuo Boran's wife initially didn't believe her husband when she heard that she had bumped into the judge. But looking at the copy on the table, she also felt that it might be true. After all, it was a promise made by an immortal.
It wasn't until half an hour passed that the couple went back to sleep again.
On the next day, the news that Zuo Boran bumped into the civil and military judge came to the door was spread among the descendants of the Zuo family, and then the Yan family also knew about it one after another. However, the Yan family shop was all owned by their own people. From then on, Nothing will be spread outside.
It was the fourth day after Zuo Boran met the judge at night.
There has been a strange phenomenon in Yan's shop these two days, that is, all the twenty or thirty muscular old, middle-aged and young blacksmiths are not working on blacksmithing, but are making scabbards.
Some cooperate in a one-stop process from shaping to polishing to oiling, and some complete the entire process alone. It is like a traditional handicraft workshop. The thought of making a sheath for a fairy sword makes a group of craftsmen excited.
As for the initiator of this incident, he was currently sightseeing in Juntianfu City without realizing it.
Arriving at the teahouse where he had gone to inquire about news when he first arrived at Juntian Mansion, Ji Yuan originally wanted to complete the unfinished "The Biography of General Huang", but the storyteller in the teahouse had been changed, and the story was different. .
"My guest, please come inside. There are soups, fried dishes, and brewed teas~~!"
A tea doctor saw Ji Yuan standing at the door for a while and not coming in, so he walked to the door and said hello.
Ji Yuan just smiled and shook his head, turned around and left without saying anything. The storyteller had changed and the story was no longer "The Biography of General Huang", so he seemed a little less interested.
Dr. Tea looked at the departing gentleman and scratched his head. This man didn't seem like he couldn't afford a pot of tea.
Ji Yuan did not use any magic or physical skills. He just walked slowly and walked directly out of the city towards the Yan's shop by the Yuanzi River.
Ji Yuan didn’t plan to disturb others this time. What had to be done was done. There was no need to surprise the people in the Yan family. When they reached the bank of the Yuanzi River, Ji Yuan directly used blindness to eliminate it. After taking shape, he walked into the Yan family shop.
It's a little strange today. There is no sound of blacksmithing at the Yan family's side, but there are a lot of wood scraping and talking coming from behind the blacksmith shop.
Ji Yuan first put back the umbrella he had borrowed without telling him before, and then walked towards the back of the craftsman's workshop of Yan's shop, looking for sounds and smells.
"Hiss..."
Ji Yuan took a breath that was a little exaggerated.
Up to now, although there are many things in the mortal world that can shock Ji Yuan, they are not too many. This is just one thing.
Under a few large sheds, twenty or thirty bare-chested blacksmiths were polishing and making scabbards. This was still unfinished in their hands. There were at least dozens of finished products stored on the shelves and on the ground beside them.
From the selection of materials to styles, from colors to carvings, everything is different...
‘Did the Yan family take the wrong medicine? ’
With this thought, Ji Yuan suddenly laughed and thought of the reason. The root cause still lies with himself, the "immortal".
Just looking at so many scabbards, the Yan family didn't know how much manpower, material, and financial resources they spent. Originally, Ji Yuan just planned to leave a hundred yuan as money to buy the scabbards, and then just left a note to let them know.
But there are so many scabbards now, and someone doesn’t want to be taken advantage of and pay for them all.
To be honest, there are so many scabbards, except for the fancy ones, Ji Yuan is very happy with any one he chooses. He quietly walked to a wooden stand at the edge, stretched out his hand and pinched a simple light blue wooden scabbard. The scabbard disappeared together with it.
Then Ji Yuan hesitated for a moment, still somewhat dumbfounded, took out two ingots and one tael of silver from his arms, and gently threw them towards Mr. Yan, who was still polishing the new scabbard of his sword.
"Dong dong~~"
The two ingots of silver actually hit Mr. Yan's head with two crisp sounds with gentle force, making the latter think that someone was joking. He subconsciously caught the falling silver from his head and became inexplicably angry.
"Who? What **** threw money at me!"
At this moment, Ji Yuan’s joking voice came faintly from a distance.
"Who asked you to make so many scabbards? I only have one sword. You can sell the scabbards yourself for the rest of the work!"
The sound is getting farther and farther away, and it is obvious that it has left.
Mr. Yan immediately covered his mouth, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead. Did he just scold the immortal?
At this moment, all the craftsmen stopped when they heard the sound. There was silence around the blacksmith shop for a while, and many people secretly glanced at Old Man Yan to see his reaction.
After more than a dozen breaths, it was confirmed that the immortal had left and had no plans. Mr. Yan suddenly realized an important issue and immediately shouted at the top of his voice.
"Whose scabbard has been chosen? Look whose scabbard has been chosen. Which scabbard is missing? Everyone, look for it!"
"Yes, yes! Look which one is missing!"
"Then what I have is not ready yet..." "What a waste!"
"It's better to be me, it's better to be me!" "It must be me!"
A group of craftsmen checked the shelves beside them and the scabbards on the ground, hoping to find that one of them was missing.
"Ah hahahaha...it's me! It's me! My scabbard was chosen! Hahahahaha...the green lacquered wood scabbard on the side of me is missing! Hahahahaha, look for Shuyuan www.zhaosｈhuyuａ.com It must have been taken away by the immortal~~”
A blacksmith in his thirties was so happy that he almost jumped up and danced, pointing at the wooden frame and laughing wildly.
Many blacksmiths nearby still refused to give up and continued to turn over their works, but in the end they could only come up with one cruel fact.
In the end, everyone looked at the elated blacksmith, curling his lips and sighing, and said a few perfunctory congratulations.
The man was just feeling proud when he saw the master leaving in the direction of the ancestral hall. He immediately patted his head and thought that the money had not been given to him, so he hurried after him.
"Master, Master~~~! That silver, you should give me the silver, at least one ingot, the immortal gave it to me, Master~~~!"
"Humph, you also know that the immortal gave it to you, you know what the **** it does! It's a waste of money to give it to you, I'll take it to the ancestral hall and offer it, and put it together with the ancestral tablet, so everyone can see it when I burn incense!"
Mr. Yan didn't even look back, he quickened his pace, leaving these words behind which shocked the man to the point of being stunned.

PS:
Here I would like to recommend some trouble-free private goods to help some families in need of book shortages (evil laugh), which is the WeChat book promotion official account "Thirty-six Strategies for the Great Book Depletion".
Last year I saw a post that kept saying "Books recommended by Brother Nine". I asked out of curiosity and added it. It is a place that will remove poison for you and find a bunch of high-quality similar books. I specifically wrote this instead of "the author's words" , just for everyone to see.
I chatted with Brother Jiu for the first time a few days ago, and I was a little excited. I definitely have PY, but it’s not something I can tell. Because Thirty-Six Strategies has such quality, I can confidently write such a long recommendation. I hope I can find the book. Don’t hit me if you become more bookish when you are happy ^_^!
