Treading Blood to Sky’s End Chapter 56: Tingyulou
Before Zhang Tianliu returned to the inn, he saw Ah Qi with an anxious look on his face.
"Sir, where have you been these past few days?" Ah Qi rushed to Zhang Tianliu and asked worriedly.
"Just watching the fun, you didn't watch? What a pity!" Zhang Tianliu looked regretful.
First I bought a box of cigarettes and then returned to the inn.
Except for Ah Qi who was following him, Mu Wan was the only one in the inn. She was blind and couldn't go out to find Zhang Tianliu even if she was anxious.
"Sir, have you found a profitable business?" Mu Wan really thought Zhang Tianliu had gone to make money.
Zhang Tianliu smiled and said, "Yes."
"What?" Mu Wan immediately came up and asked with a smile as she rolled her eyes.
Zhang Tianliu said with a smile: "Small gambling makes you happy, but big gambling hurts your health, so let's do something..."
When the girls came back, everyone was relieved to see that Zhang Tianliu was fine. They were already very sleepy, but after hearing Zhang Tianliu's thoughts, the girls suddenly became energetic.
Gambling house!
It’s not that there is no such thing in this world, it’s just that there really isn’t a chess and card room like what Zhang Tianliu described.
The young master’s chess and card room does not have the hustle and bustle of a gambling house. It just plays cards and chess quietly, drinks tea and chats.
With the target in mind, Zhang Tianliu found the remaining location after running for half an hour.
"The address has been chosen, but it's a bit expensive, a total of three thousand gold, but there's no need to spend money on decoration."
"Ah! We sisters only have two hundred taels left now, and there don't seem to be many young masters left!" Hong Jue asked with a frown.
"Money is not an issue, and I have already paid. Your money will be used to purchase some seats and more chess and cards..."
After Zhang Tianliu gave his instructions, the girls went to work.
They didn't ask Zhang Tianliu where he got his money. This was the young master's business. As sword servants, they wouldn't talk too much.
The attic in Zhang Tianliu's picture belongs to the old woman under the wishing tree, and he borrowed the money from her. He always comes back nine times out of the house, which is a very high interest rate!
On the night when Zhang Tianliu came back, he asked the innkeeper about the old woman's origins during dinner.
I don’t know if I don’t ask, but I’ll be shocked if I ask.
The store owner told him that half of Wushan Town belonged to the old lady, and even his inn used to belong to her. It was easy to tell whether it belonged to her or not. Looking at the building materials, most of them were shipped from Yanyang Mountain, three thousand miles away. Yes, those are her houses!
Because she has been selling lamps under the sacred tree, everyone calls her Granny Tree or Granny Lingling.
"Don't be surprised, Master. I'm even more surprised. Let me tell you in detail, my grandfather said that Grandma Shu has been selling lamps under the sacred tree since he can remember it, and it hasn't changed even now, which is even more surprising. What’s more, my grandfather’s grandfather told my grandfather that Grandma Shu has been selling lamps for as long as he can remember, and my grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather...”
After Zhang Tianliu listened patiently, he was shocked.
This grandma tree has lived for at least a thousand years!
"You brat, you know how powerful your mother-in-law is." Mother-in-law Shu said proudly when she saw Zhang Tianliu coming.
"The former young master, the former young man, and now the brat, how do I feel that our relationship is getting stronger and stronger?" Zhang Tianliu said with a smile.
"It's better to stay here. You have to pay back the money you owe me as soon as possible. I also want to arrange for people to transport materials to build more houses as soon as possible. Wushan Town will be more lively in the future."
“Yes, it’s good to have more people, and only with more people can we have business. If you want me to pay back the money earlier, don’t get me a competitor or something, so that I can make a lot of money by talking to friends in Tingyulou. ."
"Competition, let's wait until your business starts." Granny Shu is obviously not optimistic about Zhang Tianliu's trick of meeting friends. Can this thing also make money?
She knew about the chess and cards when they first appeared in Wushan. There were so many round notes that you touched and ate, but she didn’t see any fun in them.
But it doesn't matter, she is willing to keep Zhang Tianliu.
It wasn't that she thought there was anything extraordinary about Zhang Tianliu, but that an old girl asked her to take care of him before she left, so she reluctantly accepted it.
But Zhang Tianliu, that brat, didn’t tell her what he saw and heard in the Palace of Fog Kingdom, but that’s good, it’s best if no one knows about it!
"I'm really looking forward to what role the last chess piece left behind by the old girl can play!"
Zhang Tianliu’s Tingyu Building opened soon. This building was once a brothel! Because the building owner's son offended Grandma Shu, he was kicked out and has never changed hands since then. However, it was only two years ago that there was just a little more dust in the building. Many decorations did not need to be changed at all. They could just be washed.
Tingyu Tower is in a good location, very close to the sacred tree. Zhang Tianliu felt that Granny Shu did it on purpose so that she could spy on him!
He doesn’t believe that an old guy who has lived for thousands of years doesn’t know what’s going on in the Palace of Fog Kingdom!
Maybe she was there at the time!
Facing the Zhao family, Zhang Tianliu had to fight to the end, but facing this old monster that had lived for a thousand years, he just gave up.
Besides, he doesn’t want to leave, because leaving now is the opposite!
Currently, there is no way out in the foggy sea. It seems that everyone has no intention of leaving after coming. Leaving at this moment is too eye-catching.
Although Long Yuan Yu was taken away, some people did not swallow it. Instead, they put it into jade bottles and planned to sell it. The price was extremely high, 50,000 gold per drop!
It sounds exaggerated. A mere drop of it is not as powerful as a hundred-year-old medicinal herb in improving monks, but those who have this idea are all laymen!
Swallowing Long Yuan directly does not help much, but if it is used to refine certain pills, practice certain exercises, draw certain talismans, or raise certain kinds of Gu insects, the effect is indescribable.
In addition, the gate of ghosts has been opened, and many strong men have gone to stop the ghost army. Recently, Zhang Tianliu even saw soldiers in armor and heard that they planned to renovate the city walls of the Fog Kingdom to prevent the ghost army from entering the world.
Moreover, the imperial court informed that anyone who obtains Long Yuan must stay here and guard it for three years, otherwise Long Yuan will be handed over.
This has made many people dissatisfied. They just hope they can defend themselves. What does it have to do with your court?
However, the pilgrimage is indeed very strong nowadays. A Zongtian Mansion is frightening to people. Add in an unfathomable Imperial Academy. Forget it, three years will be three years!
It seems that as Granny Shu expected, Tingyulou has no business in the three days since it opened!
All the girls were anxious, but Zhang Tianliu was not anxious at all.
"Let's play. Watch what I do. Keep going. I have guests to greet." Zhang Tianliu urged the girls to play mahjong.
The sound of mahjong sounded again, like raindrops.
Zhang Tianliu also checked the ball in his body in his spare time. His true energy had recovered, and the ball was slowly rotating around it. Otherwise, there was no change.
No matter how many earth-shattering events happened outside, it seemed that they could not invade Tingyulou.
Zhang Tianliu checked his phone and found that all attributes had increased a little.
Strength 5 Agility 7 Vitality 9 Chi 3 Superpower 2
So far behind Tang Jingcheng, how did that guy practice? Just pounding rocks?
In terms of popularity and combat power, he is still at the bottom of the ranking list, and his strength has dropped from the middle to the middle. The matter in the Fog Kingdom obviously has nothing to do with him, and it is even more impossible for Long Yuanyu to be lowered because of him, otherwise he should be ranked No. 1 again in the strength list. One.
A few more aliens have died, and there are currently 176 left.
Zhang Tianliu predicted that this number would become increasingly difficult to reduce. At first, everyone thought that with superpowers, they would become the masters of the world. However, when the aliens died one by one, especially the Chang who once ranked first in combat power. Qingbai's inexplicable sudden death is enough to illustrate the dangers of this world.
Trying to be patient for the time being, Dangdang Sun Tzu, once he understands the pyramid of this world, it won’t be too late to show off.
