The word money has been pursued by the world since ancient times, but it is never the whole of life, and the cause and effect on it are entangled with everyone who is contaminated with it.

With a huge amount of money in my arms, I slipped into the alley and ran in front of the master. Looking back at the fact that no one was following, I breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be mysterious, "Master, guess how much Hongchen Troubles I just earned." ”

The master rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "Did you just learn some worthless little spell and feel that your wings are stiff?" ”

Before Master could finish speaking, I threw the silver coin I was holding in my arms to the ground.

Master was also shocked by the silver coins scattered by the jingle bell, and looked at me with a frown, "Say, how did this money come from, we cultivators must not abuse spells in the red dust, let alone use it to do that rooster and dog thief." ”

I gave the master a roll of his eyes, "Hey, I Qingyi is also the most promising child in the whole city of Beishan City, how can I steal and rob it, old man, have you been beaten stupid." ”

As soon as the words came out, I realized that I was a little unscrupulous and unconscionable, because Master had suffered an injury for me.

I couldn't help but glance at Master with some humility. Master, his old man didn't have the same knowledge as me, so he snorted, "Find a place to live first, and I'll explain the problem honestly later." ”

I hurriedly picked up the silver coins and put them in the baggage, and with a smile, I followed the master to find an inn that looked good, and stepped in.

The name of this shop is "Solanli", and I still remember it because it was the first "hotel" I ever stayed in.

The inn is very magnificently decorated, and the years have left a deep imprint on the bricks and tiles of the doors and windows. "Canglanli" three big characters dragon flying phoenix dance, faintly revealing a good momentum, along the plaque on both sides of the float down is a carefully outlined cloud, to the whole building to add a lot of elegance.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the innkeeper fiddling with the abacus with a sad face, looked up and glanced at the master and me who walked into the lobby, and saw that we were dressed plainly and even said a little shabby, so he said angrily, "There is only a Tianzi room left, and each room has fifteen silver coins per day." ”

Seeing the bad attitude of this store, I couldn't help but get a little angry, "What, do you think I can't afford to pay, master?" ”

The shopkeeper raised his head and showed a professional smirk, "Hehehe, how can it, the little guest officer said with a smile, then you want to stay in the hotel." ”

This person is not tall, although he is a little fat, but he is much thinner than the Zhou Zhu he just met on the street, with a pair of emerald green pants under the red satin shirt, a big black mole at the corner of his mouth and a pair of mouse eyes, a typical profiteer.

Seeing that the master waved his hand, I held my head high and directly poured out the two hundred silver coins in my baggage, put my hands in my pockets, and squinted at the innkeeper like the people in the city outside.

The fat shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, and the mouse's eyes were bigger than mung beans, swallowed his saliva, rubbed his hands and said happily, "This little boy is generous, old man, please two of you!" ”

I snorted, and under the leadership of the fat shopkeeper, I followed the master into the Tianzi room on the top floor.

Looking at the room passing by, I didn't feel the slightest popularity, and I became more and more convinced that this profiteer must be cheating on us.

The shopkeeper saw that I didn't mean to talk to the master, so he said to himself: "Seeing that the two guest officers are a little familiar, they must be the first time to come to our Liuyun City." Although the small shop is not large, it is the most ...... in the city Distinctive, open the most ...... The early inn welcomes dignitaries and giants sent to the inn every year, and we don't know how many of them, and even immortals, we have recruited a few. If the two guest officers need to inquire about any news, the store can also provide it at its discretion, and the cost is negotiable. Then there are the special wine dishes of the store, what roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose, sauce chicken bacon, pine flower tripe, the two of you need to greet the little ones at any time. ”

Later, he asked the guy in the shop to serve us a pot of tea.

Since the shopkeeper's first impression was not very good, I raised my chin and snorted, "It's none of your business, go down." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said "yes" to us, hunched over and closed the door from the outside.

"Hmph, profiteer, when I saw the money, my face turned faster than anything else, did you say it, Master, it's too annoying."

The master didn't speak, but walked straight to the table, sat down, poured two cups of tea, took a sip and said, "Normal." ”

I ran up to Master and asked him expectantly, "Master, how long are we going to stay in this Cloud City?" ”

"Aren't you stinky boy bored on the road, and when you feel bored in the city, we'll hit the road. Oh, sit down and drink water, and by the way, explain how the money came from. ”

I held on to the stool, kicked my feet hard, and jumped straight onto the stool. I was about to open my mouth when I saw the tea poured on the table, so I took a bite of it.

A faint aroma lingered in the mouth, and the tea flowed down, moistening the throat that had been dried up by the hard selling.

I sat down contentedly, wiped the corners of my mouth, and looked at Master, "Originally, I wanted to use the flower blossoming technique in the booklet to make Xiaocao grow, and sell it to make some money for tricks." But I don't know where a fat man came from. ”

I paused, "A big fat man who is very fat, his eyes are going to be covered by meat, that meat is ......"

Master coughed, "Getting to the point." ”

"Oh, the fat man said that the reason I made the grass bloom was because there was a problem with the grass, and he said that if I could make the grass he brought bigger, he would give me a hundred pieces of silver, and after that I would win, and I would have made two hundred. Hehe, I'm not very good. ”

After hearing this, the master shook his head, "Then have you thought about it, it was originally one hundred, why did you give you two hundred later, and you just took it so steadily?" ”

I scratched my head, it seemed that there was indeed a problem, but the fat man didn't seem to have a very clever brain, and it was reasonable to give more money.

Thinking so in my heart, I still said, "Could it be because I solved his incurable disease by chance?" ”

Then I asked, "By the way, Master, the grass that the fat man brought just now seems to be a bit similar to the strange lotus that grows in our cave." Even though I just let it grow up a little bit, I can still tell that it looks alike, huh...... It's really like that. ”

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the teacup in Master's hand with a click, and he turned his head and frowned, "Can you see clearly, it looks the same as those golden and red lotus flowers in the cave of Beishan?" ”

Taken aback by Master's sudden move, I swallowed, "Yes, the flower bones that grew out of that grass are golden and red, and there are a few whiskers sticking out." ”

Master's brows were twisted into a rope, and he didn't react for a long time, and the air around him became dull.

I twisted my buttocks, which were about to stiffen, "What's the matter, that lotus flower looks very strange, is there anything special?" ”

Master sighed, shook his head, and said, "The qi flowing from the Ice Coffin is mixed with a little bit of the origin of life and death. In this mountain and sea, there are thousands of kinds of avenues, incarnating all things in heaven and earth. The origin of life and death is one of the origins of the creation of all things, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the root of the existence of all living beings. The qi of life and death is the manifestation of the origin of life and death, and the conditions for its production are extremely harsh. It exists in all living beings and all souls, but it never appears directly in the world. Either they are powerful beings who have rarely realized the origin, and they can evolve through their own cultivation. Either it is a few products that are conceived for the origin of life and death, such as the ice coffin, on which some life and death qi will also be emitted. The Xuanyu Red Essence that grows in the breath of life and death, that is, the golden and red lotus, will only appear in an environment where the breath of death is strong and contains the vitality of health, ordinary people cannot touch it, the dead person touches the white flesh and bones, and the living thing touches the soul and dies. What's more, in the red world, yin and yang are balanced, and the anger and death are always in a relatively stable state, and the mysterious red essence will never appear in the homes of ordinary people. ”

"When the fat man brought it just now, he also said that it had been in their house for a long time and had not changed at all. I didn't change anything when I nourished it with aura, I don't know if it was the reason for the fan you gave me, I felt that it seemed to move, and a strange breath came out, and then the Xuanyou Lotus bloomed. ”

As I spoke, I took out the broken fan from my back that couldn't be wiped clean, and Master took it and looked at it carefully, the fan bones and fan surfaces were ordinary and couldn't be more ordinary, which was why I was extremely disgusted with this fan when I received it.

Master shook his head, handed me the fan and said, "This fan is related to you, when I saw you in the back mountain of your Beishan City before, I didn't think you had anything to do with this kid, but it was also because this fan moved, that was the first time I found it reacting since I got this fan, and after that, I looked at you carefully, and I found that you have a deep talent, maybe it is the guidance of the Tao in the dark." ”

I tilted my head and thought, "Isn't this fan really something you picked up on the side of the road?" ”

Master gave me another blank look, "This ......"

"Bang bang" There was a knock on the door suddenly, and I heard the door say: "The little brother who won my young master on the street just now lives here?" ”

I got up and pulled the door open and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man was tall and polite, dressed in a long gown, dressed in a simple and decent manner, with a belt tightly tied around the outside of the caftan and trouser legs hidden in his boots, looking like a practitioner. The occasional light in his eyes and the tone of his speech make me feel that this person's ability to observe words and colors must be good, although he may not be able to strategize, but he is also a delicate person.

"It seems that it is right, in Xia Gong Shuhua, the servant of the Liuyun Zhou family, and the young master of my family Zhou Zhu inquired in many ways, only to know that the little brother lived in this Canglan, and immediately arranged a banquet after returning home, and specially sent me over to invite the little brother to the mansion for a while."
