Chapter 699 Old Taoist = Uncle Nine?

Money is a very important thing at any time.

Whether it is more or less, people cannot live without him.

"What? One penny for one night?"

The old Taoist priest looked at the shopkeeper in front of him with anger: "Do you think we are easy to bully because we are outsiders? I tell you, when I was making my way in the capital, you were still playing with urine in the fields!"

"If you can't afford it, don't live here!"

The shopkeeper was also a hot-tempered person: "Three taels of silver is already given because you are monks!"

"you!"

The old Taoist priest was furious, and then he took out a piece of silver from his socks and slammed it on the table: "Who said we can't afford it!"

The shopkeeper looked at the size of the silver and was about to speak, but his nose seemed to be hit by something, and he stepped back repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Gouzi, take these two to room number three."

"Bring some food and two buckets of hot water."

The old Taoist snorted, turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Amber looked at the silver, then looked at the shopkeeper's conflicted expression, and mourned for him for a few seconds.

Most people would have to be mentally prepared if they wanted to touch the things taken out of that pair of socks.

The waiter received the instructions and came over with hot water. After Amber and the old Taoist priest finished their bath, he served a few vegetarian dishes.

"You two, the shopkeeper said that the money you gave is only enough for one night's stay, which includes the meal. As for hot water, we provide it for free, but in limited quantities."

He spoke very politely, without the contemptuous look of those in the storybooks.

Although the shopkeeper despised the old Taoist priest's poverty, he did not say anything bad to him and was even considered polite.

This is also the survival wisdom of the little people in the capital.

After all, this city is a mixed bag, and those who judge people by their appearance will sooner or later die because of this.

"Have a good rest, I'll take you there tomorrow."

The master and the disciple lived in the same room. There was nothing they could do as the money was limited.

Fortunately, after taking a shower and changing into new clothes that I had been reluctant to wear, the smell finally faded.

"You can't tell me who it is now?"

Amber asked casually as she slept on the floor.

He had just opened the window, and from this angle he could just see the moon outside. With a few tree branches in front of the window, there was quite a mood inside.

"You'll know when you see it."

The old Taoist priest's voice became a little low, "Shou Xin, you will have to walk the rest of the way alone."

"Master, I bet you will live to be a hundred years old."

Amber said with a solemn vow.

"Haha, it's rare to be over sixty, let alone a hundred? Don't say these nice things, just go to sleep."

The old Taoist priest was not very polite in his words, but he couldn't suppress the smile in his eyes.

Well, I can't see it anyway.

Amber didn't say anything else, but used methods that no one could detect to adjust the old Taoist's body bit by bit.

He can control his own cells, but he cannot do the same for others. However, extending his life by ten or twenty years is not a problem.

The old Taoist priest didn't know all this. He thought it was because he hadn't been back for too long and was too excited that he felt like he had endless energy.

Silent all night.

The next morning, the master and disciple packed up their things, came down to have breakfast, and then left the inn.

"Don't talk later, just follow me obediently."

"I know. This is the fourteenth time. I have memorized it a long time ago."

"Are you impatient?"

"No, no, Master, please watch the road. Kyoto is great in every way except that there are too many people."

Amber looked at the huge crowd of people and said with dissatisfaction.

"That's certainly the case here."

The old Taoist stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Those who live here are ordinary people. Those who have money live elsewhere. Moreover, the closer to the imperial city, the more noble their status." Amber nodded and continued to appreciate the surrounding environment.

Although based on the memories of other worlds, the architecture of Qing Kingdom still has its own unique style.

Just like the character of Qing people, they focus on being pragmatic.

But the further you go, the more different the situation becomes, gradually moving towards extravagance and luxury.

The old Taoist priest didn't stop until a mansion covering an area of ​​unknown amount of hectares came into view.

"Master, don't tell me your old friend is in here."

Amber's mouth twitched a few times.

"Alas, this is more than just an old friend. This is my former home."

The old Taoist priest finally told the truth, looking at the words on the door plaque with empty eyes.

Come to think of it, Emperor Qing's last name is also Li.
An idea popped into Amber's mind that even she thought was ridiculous.

"Master, don't tell me you are a member of the royal family."

"Why can't it be?"

The old Taoist turned around and said, "My real name is Li Geshan. I am the late emperor's half brother, and the current emperor's uncle."

"Why did you go up the mountain and hide your identity?"

Amber said directly.

The old Taoist priest's face froze, "Why are you asking this? Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

"Okay, okay, I won't ask you any more. But after so many years, is your identity still useful?"

Amber looked at his extremely conflicted expression and said helplessly, "I thought you were going to take me to the Taoist temple here. I should have advised you when we were going down the mountain."

"I'm not doing this for you."

The old Taoist exhaled a breath of foul air: "Didn't I tell you that it is a crime to possess a treasure? As the saying goes, a sharp weapon can only kill you. Can you guarantee that you will never use thunder magic in your life?"

"That's not impossible."

Amber thought about it and realized that if he wanted to kill someone, just blowing the breath would be enough. Thunder magic and the like were more symbolic in most cases.

"Haha, do you think I believe it?"

After a conversation, the old Taoist priest's pressure was finally relieved and he finally made a decision.

He walked towards the house with an absurdly high threshold. After gently knocking on the doorknob, the vermilion door was opened and a head popped out from inside.

"Do you know where this place is?"

"of course I know."

"Then how dare you knock randomly?!"

"Please show this to your headmaster and tell him that an old friend is visiting."

"Wait!"

The door was closed again.

The old Taoist priest took a few steps back and stood there waiting.

"Master, why don't we live somewhere else?"

Amber said tentatively: "Many things, once started, there is no turning back."

“There’s no going back.”

The old Taoist priest looked at the gate, his tone returning to its former calmness.

From the day you mastered the magic of thunder.

A quarter of an hour later, the door was opened and an extremely beautiful woman in palace dress walked out.

She is like a phoenix, proud and aggressive.

"Uncle Jiu, you dare to come back?"

Except for the two unlucky sons who were killed by Barrett, the old emperor of Nanqing naturally had more than one son left, Prince Cheng. However, because of that woman, the others either died or stayed away from the court and lived in hiding.

The person who calls the old Taoist priest "uncle" is naturally the current emperor's younger sister, Princess Li Yunrui.
