Chapter 8 Incident
Bingquan Town, at the corner gate of the wealthy businessman Zhao Song’s house.
A young man with greasy head and pink face stretched his neck and looked inward along the half-open crack of the door, but he didn't dare to go in.
After a moment, the faintly hidden corner door was completely pushed open, and a maid, about fifteen or sixteen, walked out of the house with a slow and elegant small step.
The maid was born with a beautiful and elegant appearance, and her skin was smooth and tender, which made the young man who was guarding the door lit up his eyes. He felt that the other party was much better than before. He couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.
But he was pretending to be in his heart, so he quickly came to his senses, saluted to the maid standing inside the door, and asked anxiously: "Have you seen Sister Xiangxue... Where is my sister?"
After saying that, he stretched his neck and looked at it again, but he did not see a familiar figure.
The maid named Xiangxue hurriedly avoided him when he saluted, then pressed his left hand with his right hand, slightly relieved his knees, and said:
"The young master is Aunt Mei's brother, but there is no reason to salute me, the maid..."
Speaking of this, she paused before continuing, "In addition, Aunt Mei was not in the mansion today, but sued the master's wife and went to Xiaoshan Temple outside the town to burn incense."
Going to Xiaoshan Temple to burn incense? How could I burn incense at this critical moment? The young man is scheming and has a clear look of disbelief on his face.
After a while, he pretended to be calm and asked in a stiff tone: "Where is Mr. Chen? Is he still...at home?"
Due to nervousness, he almost asked, "Is he still alive?"
It seemed that she knew the other party would ask, but Xiangxue gave the answer without hesitation: "Young Master Chen went to the Golden Patrol Martial Arts Hall to practice martial arts early in the morning."
Still not dead... Fang Xuzi looked at the Taoist Bone Fairy Wind, why is it so unreliable! The young man surnamed Mei whispered a few words, but for some reason, he gradually relaxed and had the idea of going to settle the score with Fang Xuzi.
After joking with the maid he liked, he made him look ashamed, the young man offered to say goodbye and then headed towards the east of the town.
After he turned around, the shyness on Xiangxue's face disappeared instantly. She stared at the young man's back for a few words, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
...
In the palace inside the Big Sun Star Raft, Zhao Chen sat on a seat coiled by six golden dragons, stretched out his right hand and clicked on the jade book on the desk in front of him.
Speaking of which, since his body was still standing in front of his master, he wanted to return to reality immediately after confirming that he could enter here through "entering quietness", but just after turning on this idea, he found that the "jade book" on the desk was shining with light, as if prompting him that there was a new content "updated".
This thing is quite advanced... Zhao Chen muttered a few words, thought about it and felt that it would not take long to take a look at it, so he clicked on the jade book and turned to the page with new content.
The purpose is to enter the "product column to be sold", that is, the list of products that can be sold to Xingcha Treasure Library. On it, the introduction and price of "The Secret Record of the Twelve-Level Doors of the Golden Tower and Jade Room" and the annotations of Huang Xianjun are suddenly seen.
"That translation annotation was really written by the master..." Zhao Chen twitched, and then recalled the introduction of the "list of goods to be sold", while thinking in his mind, "The knowledge I quickly browsed was recorded in the "jade book" and became a product that could be sold to it?
"In addition, knowledge-related products do not require originals. Even if they are sold to Xingcha, the secrets will still exist, but the same knowledge cannot be sold repeatedly... On the contrary, the items can be sold to Xingcha of the same type, but the originals are submitted every time.
"That's right, general knowledge can be copied. Even if the secret book is gone, the master will probably be able to get another copy in minutes, so it is naturally impossible to sell it again."
As his thoughts turned, Zhao Chen's eyes also fell on the introduction of the two newly appeared products, and he read them carefully:
"The Secret Record of the Twelve-Level Gate of the Golden Tower Jade Room" is the Qi training part of the core exercises of the Kunlun School Tianyong City "Taichu Nine Heavenly Born Divine Jade Chapter", which contains the body-building martial arts "Taiyi Five Elements Fist", the true qi martial arts "Taiyi Xuanmen Sword", as well as the "Tianyong Jinlou Jade Room Map", the "Taichu Jinyu Guidance Method" and other basic secrets for foundation-building and qi cultivation. Due to the connotation of "Big Way Text", the standard recycling price of Xingcha is 400 star coins."
"The erroneous annotation of the 'Taichu Golden Jade Guidance Method' has a lot of my own insights in the interpretation, and has lost the meaning of the taichu, which completely reduced the mind method to ordinary visualization, and there is no possibility of connecting with the subsequent exercises of "Taichu Nine Heavenly Birth of Divine Jade Chapter"... But it is relatively safe for ordinary people to practice.
"Star Cha standard recycling price of 10 star coins."
Together, it is 410 star coins? And the master thinks that this secret book he annotated can sell 500 guan... From this point of view, the purchasing power of 1 star coins and 1 guan coins seems to be not much different...
Well, the master may overestimate his ability to interpret "Badao texts", so he feels that his translation annotations are more valuable.
In fact, "The Secret Record of the Twelve-Level Gate of the Golden Tower and Jade Room" itself is more valuable! The master did not brag here, it is really a technique left by the Taoist throne of the Taoist throne of the Taichu Daojun.
In addition, what does the standard recycling price mean?
Can you still bargain?
As soon as Zhao Chen thought of this, a line of text flashed across the "Jade Book": Your talisman does not support bargaining for the time being.
This Xingcha can indeed "read the mind". The clues can be seen from the fraudulent consumption it played yesterday... Or in other words, I have a close relationship with Xingcha, can it know what I am thinking? This is not a good thing...
Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes and stopped thinking, so as not to cause bad reactions from Xingcha, such as letting himself bear more debts or forcibly tied up.
He closed the jade book casually. Zhao Chen didn't plan to stay here for more. Even if he wanted to sell the secret book to pay off his debts, it would be better to wait until there was no one outside the world to try it. So he focused on his experience when he left last time, and then his eyes suddenly became dark. When his consciousness recovered again, he had already returned to reality. He saw the master Huang Xianjun looking at him with a smile.
"I actually had a deep visualization for the first time, which was close to great success... Although this is inseparable from the auxiliary of "The King of Yu's Mountains" and the role of my spiritual guidance, Chen'er, you are considered a genius even in the seeds of the cultivation of Taoism in my "Yuwang Sect"!" Huang Xianjun sighed and rolled up the scroll again to prevent the remaining power in it from continuing to lose.
I can be so "genius", in addition to being a human soul for two lifetimes, it is probably related to the half of the "travel businessman"'s position... Zhao Chen thought so in his heart, and on the surface he bowed to Huang Xianjun again and said:
"Thank you, the master, for helping me 'quiet'."
Although Master Huang emphasized that the premise of "entering tranquility" is that his soul is strong enough and seems to have it, he lacks guidance and methods. It is not known how long it will take to find out by himself. Therefore, Zhao Chen said this "thank you" with sincerity.
Huang Xianjun was not polite. After receiving the gift from his disciple, he reminded him: "You should have remembered the feeling of "entering quietness". Even if you don't guide you as a teacher in the future, you will likely be successful if you try it a few more times.
"If it still doesn't work, come to my teacher to buy my special 'Anshen Xiang', which can help you calm down. 800 liters per pillar, which is very cheap."
Hearing his words, Zhao Chen was stunned and looked at Master Huang, who was righteous and virtuous, and complained in his heart: Am I a "travel businessman" or are you?
What is this? Is there any kind of apprentice, and what kind of master you have?
...
On the other side, the young man surnamed Mei pushed open the gate of the one-eyed Taoist Fang Xuzi's house again, but no other person was found in the courtyard. Only many medicinal materials were scattered all over the ground, and there were still blood stains left, as if something had happened.
But the young man obviously had no vigilance. His first reaction to seeing this scene was that the Taoist priest ran away.
So he rushed into the main hall without thinking, and then he saw a scene that made him feel depressed.
I saw a monster with a head of more than two meters high, five or six meters long, with two horns and a jackal-like body lying in the hall. There were two heads on his neck, one facing the young man, which looked like a evil Taoist Fang Xuzi.
The other head was pretty, fair and charming. Although it only had a side face, the young man still recognized who its appearance belonged to and shouted in disbelief:
"elder sister?!"
