Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 502
"Two priests, please forgive me, please go and check on the wounded first. At noon, please move to the city. There is a little wine in the city, sweep the couch and wait."

After leaving a polite invitation, when he saw two guards coming from those wounds, but they didn't come to say hello, but stood far away and waited, he knew in his heart that his sister must be looking for him, so he said goodbye and left.

Li Zhen and Sun Simiao bid farewell to the magistrate politely.

After the opponent got on the horse, Sun Simiao thought for a while, took out the compass again, and said to the little Cui Nv Xia beside him:

"Cui Jushi, you can help too."

"Okay, no problem."

Little Cui Nvxia didn't think much, after nodding her head in agreement, she followed Sun Simiao's command and joined the team of transporting wood.

The skins of these wooden piles are still very new, and it looks like they have been newly processed.

Each one is at least as thick as the mouth of a bowl, piled up beside the official road.

Although Xiao Cui is a woman, the practitioners are far superior to ordinary people in terms of physical strength and strength, and it is not a problem to drive piles and transport logs.

In fact, to be reasonable, every practitioner is a top tool person.

It's just...their proportions are also here. It's not realistic to want to form a construction team or something.

People don't bother to do this kind of work.

This world has distinct levels, ordinary people-warrior-cultivator levels, so that every cultivator who can perceive qi, as long as he passes the hurdle of life and death, his social status will be different no matter it is overtly or secretly.

But right now it's not a special case.

Not to mention... this place belongs to my family, little Cui female hero is actually the same as these Cui family's flying imperial envoys, and there is no complaint.But in normal times, do you want practitioners to do this kind of work?
Dream it.

Not at all realistic.

This is not a later life, and it is all about everyone shining in their posts.

In this era, the Confucian saying "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen" is enough to explain everything.

Then, the Taoist took the compass and started to check the direction again, intending to continue working.

Li Zhen didn't leave.

Just looking at the back of Cui Gan leaving, and the appearance of little Cui Xia who is diligently carrying the wood, he said with emotion:
"A good man...self-restraint, bearing, capacity, intelligence...all of them are missing."

"..."

Sun Simiao, who was about to go to the next direction, flicked his beard...

Turning her head to look at Li Zhen's somewhat emotional expression, she suddenly showed a look of helplessness:
"You... oh."

"...?"

Li Zhen looked at him with some puzzlement:
"What's up, old grandson."

"old……"

The middle-aged Taoist who came up with a sigh of relief couldn't laugh or cry:

"Hey, Xiaoniubi, at least I look older than you by ten years, don't you call me uncle? But at least you call me old brother, or Daoist, can you? Call me old grandson? Are you afraid of shortening your life?"

When Li Zhen heard this, he thought to himself, hey, don't you want to give you an intimate name?

You are so ignorant of flattery.

"I'm Xuan Junguan's disciple. To be reasonable, don't you call me senior? Hmm? Is there something wrong with me calling you grandson? Let me call you uncle? Grandson, aren't you afraid of losing your life?"

"..."

Sun Simiao's beard trembled even more.

This is not a big deal, he has changed from an old grandson to an old grandson.

So I smiled helplessly...

He doesn't care either.

Although he still doesn't know what it means to be "a bird can fly far with a phoenix, and a person with a virtuous person can exalt himself", but through these two encounters, he also knows...these two people are a little younger, and they have good character. There is nothing to say.

Can be friends.

He walked on the mountains every day to find medicine, and he rarely dealt with people, so he didn't care so much. He shook his head and said:

"You have a good impression of these people?"

"Well, aside from this silly little Cui Xiaxia... I can see that these two brothers and sisters are not the kind of people who have one thing in front of the other. They also have a conscience. These days, people with a conscience... can So rare."

"...That's not bad."

Sun Simiao did not refute, but...

"Although these two people are kind-hearted, don't forget Xiao Niubi... After all, they are members of the Cui family."

While speaking, he took a few steps forward.

After determining a certain orientation, step down with your feet.

A pit appeared.

After a while, the people behind just need to drive all the stakes here.

Then he said:
"Your troubles are yet to come."

"trouble?"

Li Zhen was taken aback:
"What's the trouble?"

"Are you pretending to be stupid? Or are you really confused?"

Sun Simiao was a little dissatisfied, but looking at Li Zhen's innocent eyes, he was startled again, and asked uncertainly:

"You really don't understand?"

"I……"

Li Zhen hesitated for a moment, then asked:
"Should...understand?"

"..."

Now, Sun Laodao was really helpless, and lowered his voice, explaining:
"Do you know how much income this fire jade salt can bring to the Cui family every year?"

"How many?"

"About a million."

Yiguan is one thousand Wen, which is one tael of silver.

There is no need to convert purchasing power or something, which is meaningless.After coming to this world, Li Zhen has gotten used to spending a penny as a dollar.And the reason why we say that this era is a troubled time is also because according to this conversion concept, 120 catties of grain has risen to 1000 yuan. Are you thinking about it?

And a million guan is [-] million copper coins.

That's [-] million...

When he heard this number, Li Laodao instinctively showed a painful expression:
"Then the Cui family must feel bad?"

"..."

Sun Simiao was speechless again.

My heart said that you, a Taoist priest, usually look very clever, why is it as if you were beaten by a pig and lost your mind:
"Is this the point?"

"……What's the meaning?"

Li Zhen was even more puzzled.

What is the old grandson trying to say?

Seeing that he really didn't understand, Sun Simiao explained:
"Now, this salt mine has been destroyed, understand? Unless they can find a new vein of mine near here...but that's useless. When Laojunguan comes, it's impossible to mine anything new here Mine, the land with a radius of ten miles must be reinforced, and the Tusita Tianshen Palace will be used as a place for eight trigrams and eight trigrams to form formations and refine new alchemy."

"……and then?"

"Then?"

Sun Simiao shook his head:
"With the state teacher here, what Laojunguan wants is what the emperor wants. Didn't you hear me just now? I told the third son of the Cui family how convenient it is to do business with Laojunguan. This is actually me and him They all understand... Laojunguan will not surrender this land vein to others. At most, they will distribute some of the elixirs produced.

They can keep it for themselves or resell it, but if you think about it... one is real money, an extremely stable million-dollar income, and the other is just some pills, which are nothing more than a headache, brain fever, bruises, or Some weird effects.You said, did the Cui family win or lose this deal? "

"That is to say, resource integration will take back state ownership and then give some dry shares?"

"……What?"

"It's okay, you just keep going."

"I'm not old!"

"Ah yes yes yes."

"..."

Looking at the Taoist who seemed to really know nothing and was still thinking about joking, Sun Simiao was finally sure...

He seemed like a real fool.

I couldn't help but say:
"Is there something you haven't figured out yet?"

"Thought it out? Isn't Laojunguan and the Cui family going to negotiate on this piece of dragon fire? That's their business, what does it have to do with us? When Xuanzang recovers from his injury, let's go. I think so Very good, you think, if according to what you said, there will be a lot of construction in this place, then...does this mean giving these refugees a chance? It is hard for ordinary people to serve in corvée, but what about these people who are wearing a sin? Maybe I will be able to go home in a fair manner. Isn't it a great thing?"

Hearing Li Zhen's words, Sun Simiao rolled his eyes directly:

"For now, regardless of whether His Majesty or the national teacher will agree, I will ask you, how do you plan to deal with yourself then?"

"...Where I am? What does this have to do with me?"

"you……!!"

The old grandson is really going crazy.

He didn't even look for the direction, and holding up the compass, he wanted to shoot him to death, so scared Li Zhen quickly took two steps back:

"A compass in the morning and a prison meal in the afternoon! Calm down, grandson!"

"..."

Hey, you kinda rhyme!
Sun Simiao, who somewhat hated iron but not steel, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and pointed it out angrily:
"The mineral lode belongs to the Cui family. But you didn't suppress the dragon fire of the vein? Why is it so hard to find the dragon fire? It's because it's easy to appear, but it's very difficult to stabilize it! Nine out of ten dragon fires will turn into dead flames as the power of the dragon vein dissipates after eruption! Do you know why? Because it has already erupted!

The only thing that determines whether an earth vein dragon fire is good or bad is the fire qi contained in it, that is, whether the power of the dragon vein is stable!Do you know how the dragon fire in Longmen Mountain came from?It was the national teacher who hooked up the dragon fire himself, and then suppressed it with his own strength!Don't stare, that's right, just like you did today! ... Or say you are an idiot, you can even do this kind of thing, I really don't know how you suppressed this ley line! "

Then, he pointed to the scorching magma surging in the deep pit:

"Now, the dragon veins here are peaceful, and this pool of good fire is a dream land for many alchemists! And look!"

He pointed to the only stone pillar in the pit, which was also the stone pillar that Li Zhen fainted at the beginning:

"I went to see that place just now. It is a natural position of Xunfeng! It only needs to be implicated by formations, and it is the best position in the entire dragon fire pool that is naturally formed! And all of these are not all born You who viewed from Xuanjun, and Xuanzang who was born in Bodhi Temple!?
The ore vein belongs to the Cui family, but Laojunguan has to get it.But the fundamental reason why this dragon fire erupted to form such an excellent dragon fire pool was caused by Xuan Jun Guan and Bodhi Temple!Come on, tell me what you're going to do about this?Xuan Jun guards the dragon's veins, suppressing this place is justified, and it is not too much to want to take it for himself.

And the Bodhi Temple is the Buddhist sect in the world, and it has been competing with Taoism for so many years for belief. Now there are alchemists in this excellent dragon fire pool!Why is the Great Huan Dan of Shaolin Temple worse than the Jiujiu Guishen Dan of Taoism?Isn't it just a matter of fire!And now, Xuanzang gave them a perfect excuse to intervene! ……hey-hey. "

There was a gloating smirk in the eyes of the Taoist:

"Yu Kuan in the future... I'm afraid it won't be peaceful. Although our purpose is very simple, we just want to save people and prevent the fire poison from erupting and poisoning the common people. Let's not talk about you... Don't forget, even I am an old man. Junguan came out. We... have all been involved! We can't help ourselves..."
