(For @kateyc Jiageng)

Two flowers bloom, each with one branch.

Let’s talk about the little carpenter who delivered Xiaojiu safely, he no longer stayed, but took Gu Baiguo to Guangxin Mansion in central Ganzhong.

The road was not safe, there were turmoil everywhere, and there were small-scale military conflicts from time to time. The little carpenter drove a car and was checked many times on the road. Finally, he was disturbed. He sold the carriage in a small town and then walked with Gu Baiguo.

A few days later, the little carpenter finally arrived here in Yujiang County, not far from Longhu Mountain.

The little carpenter knew that Longhu Mountain was the top Taoist sect in the world. Not to mention a small character like himself who had not been in the world for a few years, even a person with the ultimate ability like the South China Sea Sword Monster might not dare to go straight to the mountain gate and ask for medicine.

If this happens, what he needs to face will be the entire Longhu Mountain and countless top Taoist masters.

You should know that although the Qing Dynasty has been suppressing the Longhu Mountain Zhengyi Sect for hundreds of years, as a Taoist sect with a thousand-year heritage and has had countless national teachers, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.

If you can't do it, then save the country in a straight line.

The little carpenter didn't know much about the situation on Longhu Mountain, so he settled in Yujiang County that day.

After he settled down, he naturally had to find a way to inquire about the news.

What to do?

The little carpenter thought about it and decided to go out and wander around. Finally, he chose a restaurant that looked good, found a seat to sit down and started ordering.

In fact, he wanted to find a teahouse that could spread the news, but the problem was that this area is different from that in Xichuan, and there were almost no teahouses.

He could only find a restaurant that looked more lively, and he also asked for some information, and he also filled his five internal organs temple.

After all, he is quite interested in eating everywhere.

The restaurant he found was not the largest in the entire county town, but it was the best in terms of business. At that moment, he also sat by the window, ordered a few local specialties, ordered a pot of wine, and ate it very enjoyable.

Gu Baiguo was taken by him, but in order to avoid making trouble for others, he found a breathable cloth bag to put it in.

Although it seems very aggrieved, the little carpenter has no choice.

After all, this trip was coming to find out the news, and he was talking about a low-key one. If he released Gu Baiguo, the white fox, it might attract a lot of attention, and there would be no chance.

He ate slowly in the hall, his ears erected, and listened to the diners chatting in the hall.

However, what disappointed him was that these people were either talking about business, the current situation, the turmoil around him, and the trivial matters of Zhang and Li’s family were completely different from what he wanted to inquire about.

After listening for a long time, the little carpenter did not get any useful information and was a little overwhelmed.

Even though the food tasted pretty good, he no longer had the interest in eating, so he asked the paotang to get some hot dishes and food, put them in the food box, and then left.

These foods were prepared for Gu Baiguo.

The only thing that the little girl hasn't changed is her appetite, which is so big that a person can eat four or five adults.

Even if it turns into a fox at this moment, it is the same.

After paying the bill, the little carpenter left the restaurant and walked out.

However, he had just walked a long way, but was stopped by a beggar behind him: "This guy, wait..."

The little carpenter turned around and saw that although the beggar's clothes were torn and covered with dirt, they were very clean and did not have much stench. They looked almost in their thirties, smiling and full of pleasing.

He was stunned for a moment and asked, "You call me?"

The beggar came up and said to him, "Brother, do you sell this thing?"

The little carpenter saw him pointing at the cloth bag he was carrying, and was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned dark: "What do you mean?"

Inside the cloth bag, there was Gu Baiguo.

When the beggar saw the little carpenter change his face, he quickly explained: "Brother, don't get me wrong. I saw that you are carrying a monster here. It seems that you are caught by you. I guess you may be looking for a buyer, so I dared to come forward and say hello to you - if you really want to find a buyer, I know some bosses who can afford money and can help you, and just give me a bite at that time."

The little carpenter narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

He could see Gu Baiguo inside through the cloth bag and also thought he was a monster. This beggar was definitely a person in the business.

If that's the case, then this person is interesting.

He was not furious because the other party wanted to trade Gu Baiguo, but asked, "What do you call me?"

The beggar smiled, showed his big yellow teeth, bowed and said, "He Laoya is the apprentice of Master Zhu San of Yuzhang Huazi. He is usually hang out in this world and has no prospects, but he is quite familiar with the land and everyone recognizes it. When he sees you, you dare to come forward and say a few words to you..."

When the little carpenter heard this, he was right in his mind and said to him: "Brother He, have you eaten?"

As soon as he heard this, the beggar subconsciously swallowed his saliva and said with a dry smile: "If you are a person in our business, you don't have a big son in your pocket, aren't you still hungry?"

The little carpenter picked up the food box and said, "If you are not busy, go to my residence and let's eat and chat. How about it?"

When the beggar heard this, his face smiled and said, "That's it, I'll bother you."

He was not polite and followed the little carpenter.

The hotel where the little carpenter stayed was nearby. The two of them came to their residence without talking a few words on the way.

The little carpenter brought tables and chairs, took out the items in the food box, four dishes and one soup, brown sugar steamed buns, rice, and a bottle of wine.

The little carpenter made some food, put it in a wooden bowl, put it on the ground in front of the bed, and then put Gu Baiguo out.

He touched the soft fluff on the ginkgo head, gave her a slightly apologetic look, then stood up again, sat opposite the beggar, then poured wine, and said, "Come on, Brother He, I'll give you a glass first."

When He Laoya saw the white fox released from the bag, and then saw the little carpenter's attitude towards the white fox, he immediately reacted.

Instead of raising his glass, he said, "It seems that Brother Gan is not going to sell this little thing?"

The little carpenter knew what he meant and said with a smile: "Indeed, she and I are old acquaintances and are close to each other, so I have no intention of selling it."

He Laoya put down his chopsticks and said with some dissatisfaction: "Aren't you kidding me?"

He thought he had encountered a big business, but as a middle-aged man, he might be able to make some money. He was very happy at the moment, but now he failed to make a wishful thinking and was very depressed.

The little carpenter smiled and said, "There is no business now, and it may not be no business in the future. I just arrived in Yujiang and I am not familiar with the place. I invite you to have a meal and ask about the situation here to see if I need to go to a dock or something. Isn't this okay?"

What a smart old man He Laoya is. When he heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Inquiry about the situation? What do you want to know?"

The little carpenter asked, "Whatever you want to know?"

He Laoya said with satisfaction: "Of course, as long as you want to know in the entire Ganzhong area, I can know a little bit. Even if I don't know, I can ask someone for you--but..."

His tone was long and he stopped talking, while the little carpenter smiled and said, "Don't worry, I understand the rules, how much is it, say a number."

He Laoya asked: "That depends on what you want to know, so I can negotiate the price."

The little carpenter didn't plan to talk about Ma Tingfeng as soon as he came, so he threw a bait: "Then let's talk about Longhu Mountain first? I always heard from people that Longhu Mountain is the leader of the Taoist sect in the world, one of the blessed lands of the seventy-two caves. Do you know about Longhu Mountain?"

After hearing this, He Laoya looked at the little carpenter carefully, and did not answer immediately, but asked, "Why, do you still have any ideas about Longhu Mountain?"

The little carpenter felt his concern and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm just a little man, what do you think about Longhu Mountain? I just heard too much and my ears are called up, so I just want to know more about it."

He Laoya thought it was right, so he smiled and said, "We are in the Longhu Mountain area. If you don't know, it's naturally impossible - this is all a mess. You give you ten oceans and I can talk to you thoroughly. How about it?"

The little carpenter smiled and said, "Brother, I am not a young man from aristocratic family who doesn't know how to make money."

He Laoya asked: "How much did you say?"

The little carpenter opened his right hand and said, "How about five oceans?"

He Laoya was a little unhappy: "Who can bear it if you cut off half of my price at once?"

Seeing the other party being angry, the little carpenter turned around and wanted to leave, he was not panicked and said calmly: "Old He, five pieces of ocean, a laborer has to work hard for a month. You make a profit by touching the skin on your mouth and touching the skin on your mouth. Are you not satisfied? Besides, we still need to collude for what happened next?"

He Laoya just wanted to bargain, but didn't plan to leave. He looked at the little carpenter for a while, and saw that the other party really didn't intend to give in, but he felt relieved and said, "Okay, just treat me as a good deed."

His eyes were staring at the little carpenter. The little carpenter couldn't help but smile, threw out five oceans and placed them on the table.

He Laoya closed the ocean and immediately grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

He reached out, picked up the wine glass, touched the little carpenter, and drank it all, slapped the table and said, "Longhu Mountain is the ancestral courtyard of Taoism, Taoist sect. After the great success of practicing Taoism and alchemy in Longhu Mountain, Daoling Daojun, the fourth generation of Tianshi master Zhang Shengshi, has lived here in the late Han Dynasty. He guarded Longhu Mountain and searched for immortals and techniques. He sat in the Qing Palace to practice teachings and build a teaching. He lived in the Tianshi Mansion to cultivate one's own character. He has been in the Yishi City for more than 60 generations and has been respected and enthroned by dynasties for more than 1,700 years. He has been worshipped and enthroned by all dynasties. He has reached the first rank and has the highest position as a minister. He has formed the "Southern Zhangbei Kong" that has been inherited in history, and has two major families..."
