Shi Xuan didn't expect the middle-aged woodcutter to be so unfazed, so he waved his sleeves in his face, and then smiled as he watched the middle-aged woodcutter wake up.
The middle-aged woodcutter first rolled his eyes slightly under his eyelids, and then opened them slightly. When he saw the young master still facing him, he quickly closed his eyes again and pretended to be unconscious. Wake up.
"Haha, if you don't wake up yet, don't blame Shi for throwing you into the wolf's den in front of you." The peaceful voice reached his ears, and the middle-aged woodcutter got an idea and hurriedly turned over and knelt down: "Big Xia, no, no, Great Immortal, spare the little one. He has an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child..."
Shi Xuan shook his head to stop his rambling: "Shi just asked for directions, why are you so panicked? As long as you tell Shi which market town is down there, Shi will leave immediately. ”
The middle-aged woodcutter gave a very ugly smile: "Reporting to the Immortal, below is Xinglong Town in Tiannan City, Jingjiang Prefecture, Yunzhou. Although it is a town, because it is close to Shiwan Mountain, there are many people buying rare and exotic animals and valuables. Merchants of trees, exotic flowers, and precious herbs came here, so it was extremely prosperous, no worse than an ordinary big city.”
Shi Xuan nodded with satisfaction. If merchants came frequently, he could follow a caravan to Yangzhou. This time I returned to the land of Middle-earth. Firstly, I sharpened my Taoist heart in the world of mortals and strived to achieve perfection before going to the North Sea. Secondly, I took a look at the cultivation status of several disciples. If they still aspire to the immortal way and work hard, If they don't stop and have a firm Taoist heart, then take them to Huilongguan and let them go to the Three Islands sea area.
Because it involves the inheritance of Xu Laodao, Shi Xuan did not think of bringing Xu Jinyi, Yan Jujian, and Ding Mingde under the Penglai sect. However, with his status in the Penglai sect, he could find a good one in the Sandao Sea. It would not be a bad idea for them to establish a small sect attached to the Penglai sect on the islands. After all, the resources and the atmosphere of cultivating immortals in the Three Islands sea area are far superior to those in the Middle Earth.
Of course, all this depends on their own wishes and current situation. Shi Xuan just does it casually. If it doesn't work, he won't get entangled or spend more energy.
Now that he had his purpose, Shi Xuan decided to first go to the Xu family in Yangzhou to look for Xu Jinyi, then to Ganzhou Jianya to look for Yan Jujian, then to the junction of Chuzhou and Mingzhou to look for Ding Mingde, and finally to the small towns around Luojing. Chu Wan'er then took those of them who were willing to go to the Three Islands waters to Luojing to return to Longguan. As for myself, I will return to Yangzhou, sail out to sea, and cross the stormy sea to overseas countries.
On this journey, Shi Xuan will not use the escape method to rush, but will walk slowly in the world of mortals. It will take about two years to complete a large circle. By then, he should not be far from the completion of Qi Entrainment.
Seeing that his answer satisfied Shi Xuan, the middle-aged woodcutter immediately let go of half of his worries. The young man looked dignified and did not look like a vicious person or evil ghost.
Shi Xuan chuckled and said: "You gave a good answer, Shi must give you some reward."
"Don't dare, don't be polite, Great Immortal." The middle-aged woodcutter said he didn't dare, but his eyes were shining hotly.
Shi Xuan didn't answer, walked to the surrounding giant trees, tapped a dozen trees in a row, and then walked slowly towards the town without looking back.
The middle-aged woodcutter was dumbfounded: "I was just talking, how could the Great Immortal really leave?" As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of breeze blew by, and the dozen giant trees suddenly made a creaking sound, and then boomed They fell to the ground together, stirring up a huge cloud of smoke.
"This, this..." The middle-aged woodcutter opened his eyes wide and shouted in his heart that this was a powerful **** and demon. However, he stuttered and couldn't speak. After a long time, he murmured: "I How can we move so many giant trees home?"
…………
Xinglong Town.
Shi Xuan just found the Yangzhou Guild Hall and saw a long caravan parked outside the guild hall. There were more than a hundred carriages alone, and there were hundreds of guards around. It looked very impressive. Big merchant.
Generally, large merchants with a large number of escorts will do some business of taking people on long journeys. Small merchants who cannot afford escorts, are in groups or are lonely travelers, can join the caravan after paying money. , which is much safer than traveling alone.
Shi Xuan followed the traces and found the steward in charge of the business. He was a fat middle-aged man with a big belly. In the hot weather in Yunzhou, sweat was pouring from his face and he kept holding a white handkerchief in his hand. Wiping.
"Steward, I wonder where this caravan is going? If it's going to Yangzhou or the states in the south of the Yangtze River, I wonder if I can take Shi with me." Shi Xuan saw that several men and women in front of him had already paid money to go on business. The team left with a few idle carriages.
The fat steward wiped his sweat and said: "We are going to Yangzhou City. If you don't take care of the food, you will get twenty taels of silver per person, and if you take care of the food, the meal will be settled every five days."
Shi Xuan has already been away from food for a long time. Although he still feels a little greedy sometimes, that is only for food. The ordinary food provided by this caravan will definitely not meet Shi Xuan's standards, so Shi Xuan said: "No need. Take care of the food. Shi has his own food.”
"Yes, Chenghui ten taels of silver." The fat steward didn't care. He couldn't get the meal money, so another steward was in charge.
Shi Xuan put his hand into his arms and realized that he had not used silver in twenty years and how could he still carry any with him. He was just thinking about using magic to change the ingot when he suddenly remembered that there was still money in his storage bag. There was something there, so I took out the luminous pearl and handed it to the fat steward: "Shi has just run out of money. Why don't I sell this luminous pearl to you, the steward, in exchange for some money." As for the kind of person who turns stones into gold. Shi Xuan didn't have the means. The profound methods involving material transformation could not be learned without the soul.
The fat steward's cheeks twitched violently before he took Ye Mingzhu and said, "Although Huang Shusheng is not very knowledgeable, there are many experts in our Jinfeng Trading Company. I will give it to you right now." Look, you can't deceive me." After saying that, he did not leave immediately, but looked at Shi Xuan: "By the way, you have to show me your way to prevent the caravan from sneaking in. Bad guy."
Shi Xuan didn't have a road guide, but it didn't bother him. He touched it slowly in his arms and pulled out a piece of paper with a swish: "This is Shi's road guide."
A few feet away behind the fat steward, there was a young couple who was putting the package back on their backs. The handsome young woman said to her husband, "Mr. Master, please put away the road guide. You may need it on the way."
The husband said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry. You won't lose it." But when he raised his hand, it was empty, and he was startled: "Hey, where is the road guide? I obviously had it in my hand. ." Then he looked around.
The fat steward picked up the road guide and looked at Shi Xuan carefully: "Well, a person from Xia'an Mansion, whose surname is Shi Mingxuan. Hey, this portrait looks too similar!" There are only a few paintings on the ordinary road guide. With the pen, it would be good to be able to identify whether it is a man or a woman, and the general features, but the portrait on this road guide is very similar to Shi Xuan. Although it is also very simple, it is lifelike, and it can be seen that it was written by everyone.
Could it be that the Xia'an Mansion hired a good painter? The fat steward could only explain himself in this way, and then returned the road guide to Shi Xuan: "Just wait, I will find someone to appraise this night pearl."
Shi Xuan calmly took Lu Yin and slowly put it into his arms without saying a word, leaving the fat steward wondering as he walked: "What if an ordinary person would hand over such a precious luminous pearl to a stranger?" How can he be so calm? Could it be that this young man has a great background or great ability? Well, his appearance is extraordinary." The fat steward had always thought that if this night pearl was really precious, he would have to pretend to be stupid and use his power to bully others. For a while, he had the idea of taking the Ye Mingzhu into his pocket, but now he is hesitant. Over the years, he did not know how many managers he had seen who had offended people who should not have been offended, and ended up with no bones left.
The pretty young woman gave her husband a gentle slap and said with a smile, "Mr. sir, stop playing around. Isn't this a road guide?" She pointed to the corner of the paper exposed in her husband's arms.
The husband took it out in confusion and saw that it was his own road guide. He said to himself in great confusion: "When did I put it in my arms?"
…………
"Huang Shusheng, you are going to make a fortune!!" A little old man with a sharp mouth and a tall hat looked at the fat steward with envy and shock.
The fat steward was overjoyed, and he asked again, "Really, is Ye Mingzhu really good at managing money?"
The little old man slapped his thigh: "Why am I lying to you! This is produced by giant clams in the Storm Sea. You also know that the Storm Sea has violent storms all year round, and no sea ship can enter it! Only the occasional dead giant clams are If you rush out, you will get one of these luminous pearls. This is probably worth a lot of money! Hey, if you get it, please give it to me, otherwise don't blame me for talking nonsense."
The fat steward nodded in ecstasy, then turned around and got out of the carriage, thinking in his heart: I am going to get rich, I am going to get rich.
But as soon as he thought about it, the fat steward remembered that he didn’t have a few hundred taels of gold to buy the pearl. In his annoyance, greed came to his mind. How big can the young master be if he has a background? It's better to give him dozens of taels of silver and forcefully buy it.
After deciding, the fat steward felt comfortable all over, and he strode towards where he was before. But as he walked, the fat steward saw the guards, grooms, and handymen all looking at him funny. He looked at himself and looked himself up and down. There was nothing wrong with him. Then he looked around him, and all the hairs on his body suddenly stood up. It turned out that he was still standing still after walking for so long!
Ghost, ghost hit the wall! The fat steward only had this thought in his mind and wanted to shout, but he couldn't even hear the voice. He was so panicked and scared that he was sweating like rain. He begged God and prayed to Buddha and chanted: "The Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Bodhisattva protects you, the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Bodhisattva." Pudu Bodhisattva bless you. If you can go out, you will definitely kill a pig to reward the gods."
After chanting for a long time, but to no avail, the fat steward recited all the gods, bodhisattvas, Buddhas and immortals he knew, but he was still spinning in circles and almost collapsed. Suddenly, an idea emerged in his mind. It was not because he was greedy that he encountered evil spirits blocking his way.
As soon as this thought came up, I couldn't stop it. The fat steward hesitated and then said in his heart: "Young Huang Shusheng should not be greedy. Please ask the immortal to go around him. He will be a good person in the future. Every day Everyone has to do a good deed, well, today’s good deed is not to take money from that young man!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat steward leaned forward and rushed forward. He staggered a few steps and almost fell down. However, the fat steward was not angry but happy. He bowed to the void again and rushed forward. He walked up to Shi Xuan, returned the Night Pearl to Shi Xuan, and then said: "Scholar Yuna, I made a vow in front of the Bodhisattva to do one good deed every day. Seeing that you are destined today, I will spare your money. Go to that carriage."
Shi Xuan pretended to thank him and got into the empty carriage. The fat steward was heartbroken when he faced the twenty taels of silver, but he was not a fool. He reacted after a moment and stared at the carriage with awe, fear, and admiration.
…………
A few months later. In the south of the Yangtze River, it is midsummer when the lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are exceptionally red. The scenery is beautiful with small bridges and flowing water.
The convoy of Jinfeng Trading Company was walking slowly on the official road. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the opposite side. After a while, two white horses, surrounded by dozens of other horses, rushed towards the convoy of the trading company.
An old man in his 60s said tremblingly: "No, it can't be Jie Dao, right?" This is Du Yifu, an old man who returned from visiting relatives in Xinglong Town. He loves to talk about things that are not strange and confusing. Shi Zheng was sitting next to Shi Xuan.
The honest little businessman next to him sneered: "Old Master, I'm afraid you have never seen anyone in the world. This Jinfeng Trading Company is a big trading firm downstairs in Xiaoyu Building, and the two young men who came there are the deputy directors of Xiaoyu Building." How could the poster boy, Xu Tianqi, be the son of Daxia Xu? They are top-notch masters at a young age, and there are countless chivalrous women in the world who dream of them every night. They have an unlimited future. I heard that the item was for the birthday of his great aunt!" This is Chen Ke, a local businessman from Yangzhou who loves to show off his extensive knowledge.
