Immortality: Start with the Gourd Sword Art

Chapter 21 The world of mortals is complicated
  Mrs. Qiao's real surname is Cui, and she was born in the Cui family of Qinghe. After her cousin died of illness, she became Master Qiao's successor.

As an old man with a young wife, and with a strong background from his mother's family, Mr. Qiao is quite weak in front of this lady. After all, he was promoted by his father-in-law, Cui Xiangguo, who was from Zhongshushe.

Mrs. Qiao arrived in a hurry, and happened to see the crutch in Master Qiao's hand, hitting the third young master on the shoulder. She immediately became furious and showed great power. She pushed away the maid who was supporting her, stepped forward, took the crutch, and pointed towards Master Qiao. Call.

Mr. Qiao instinctively tried to hide, but he saw the crutch made of pear wood knocking on the Eight Immortals table, making a muffled "dong" sound.

Mr. Qiao didn't know whether he was frightened or angry. His face turned pale and red, then red and white. He said, "This is unreasonable," and walked around the table.

All of a sudden, it was really a whirlwind of excitement and excitement.

Xu Li laughed dumbly, shook his head and exited Miss Qiao's boudoir, to save some face for Master Qiao.

He didn't have such a big heart for gossip. He was just entrusted by Senior Brother Chen to deal with the so-called evil things. As for the trivial matters of the Qiao family, he didn't want to know and was too lazy to get involved.

This was also the reason why he directly exposed Miss Qiao.

Although the third young master of the Qiao family is a bit nonsense, his words are absolutely correct. As long as the Taibai Sword Sect is still there, the Qiao family can always enjoy wealth. As for the serious crime of decapitation, just listen to it.

After a while, Monk Nanshan came out, covering his head and cursing. He was just watching the fun, but he deserved it for the fish pond.

"Amitabha, I have met Taoist fellows from Taibai Sword Sect in Nanshan, but none of them have met this girl. How do you know that this girl's movie is fake?"

Xu Li smiled, returned the salute and said:

"Xu Li has seen the master. Under the emperor's feet, the dragon energy is filled with evil spirits. Who can escape except the soul level? There are many experts in Luoyang City, such as Zen Master Zhifei from Baima Temple and Da Fangzhen from Louguan Taoism. They are both great men in the world. If there were such powerful evil spirits causing trouble in Luoyang, these two would have taken action long ago. How could it be our turn?"

Xu Li did not know Mr. Dafang, but he had met Zen Master Zhifei once. As a sacred monk with the same name as the old monk, Zen Master Zhifei had invited the old monk to come to Luoyang to practice, but he was rejected by the old monk. .

And Master Da Fang was able to resist Zen Master Zhifei for decades, so he was certainly not a simple person.

This Nanshan monk was indeed a little out of his mind. Xu Li explained so clearly that the monk finally thought about it and finally realized:
  "Yes! Why didn't I think of it."

Although his brain was a little weak, the monk did have some wisdom. These things did not leave any waves in his heart. In the blink of an eye, he smiled and invited Xu Li to the White Horse Temple.

There is no difference between Taoism and Buddhism at all in this monk's mind. In his opinion, Taoism and Buddhism are just different practices, both for the purpose of educating and transforming sentient beings.

Based on this alone, he has already surpassed countless people.

The two of them were talking, and the movement in the room gradually became quieter. After a while, Mr. Qiao walked out with a gloomy look on his face. After seeing Xu Li and the other two, he gave an extremely forced smile. road:
  "Thank you, little fairy. You have come all the way, so you must be tired. I will arrange for the fairy to stay here first, and then I will take care of the fairy in the evening."

Xu Li returned the salute and said:

"It's not necessary to accept the wind and wash away the dust. In addition to being entrusted by Senior Brother Chen, I also have something to ask of the Qiao family."

Mr. Qiao nodded and asked:
  "But do you need hardware skills?"

The essence of hardware is not a precious thing. It is a kind of spiritual material that all practitioners must use, but the stock is huge and anyone who is willing can collect it.

It's just that many times, it's not worth the effort to collect.

As for manpower, the Tang Dynasty naturally did not make the second choice. Moreover, Xu Li’s cultivation does not require the essence of hardware. Ordinary hardware is also acceptable.

Judging from Master Qiao's reaction, it was obvious that people from the Taibai Sword Sect had come to seek help before, or perhaps the Taibai Sword Sect had directly purchased from the Qiao family.

Xu Li nodded, poured out all the gold and silver obtained from Sanyinren, piled it into a small pile, cupped his fists and said:

"Please, Mr. Qiao, help Xiaodao exchange all the gold and silver. The essence of hardware is naturally the best, but ordinary hardware can also be used."

Mr. Qiao looked at the gold and silver on the ground, but he didn't refuse. After nodding in agreement, he called the boy to go to Xu Lixian to rest, and then brought some incense money to Monk Nanshan and his party.

After dealing with these matters, Master Qiao returned to his youngest daughter's boudoir with a sigh, preparing to discuss how to end this matter.

Xu Li didn't know how the Qiao family would deal with the emperor, but Master Qiao worked very quickly. Before it was too late, a group of Qiao family servants carried boxes of hardware essence to Xu Li's other courtyard.

Although Xu Li didn't know the specific exchange price of this metal essence, but after looking at this quantity and one box of red gold essence, he knew that others might not even look at his little gold and silver.

"For the Immortal, I have prepared wine and food. Please move here."

After putting down the box, an old man who looked like a housekeeper, with his sleeves tied up, bowed and asked Xu Li to go to the backyard.

Xu Li nodded, did not refuse, waved his hand to collect all the boxes containing gold essence, and then said:

"Please lead the way."

"Please, Elder Immortal."

I followed the housekeeper to the backyard again, but it was not Miss Qiao's yard, but the main hall where Master Qiao was.

"There are many family matters, and I have neglected the little immortal. Please ask for help."

As soon as they arrived at the door, Master Qiao and Mrs. Qiao came to greet them, followed by a middle-aged man in his early thirties. Behind the middle-aged man were the third son of the Qiao family and Miss Qiao, who stared at Xu Li reluctantly.

"You're welcome, Mr. Qiao. Please."

Xu Li returned the gift and followed everyone into the main hall.

Mr. Qiao asked Xu Li to be the host. Xu Li would not agree to such a prestige. They exchanged polite greetings several times. Seeing that Xu Li had no intention of doing so, Mr. Qiao sat down and just ordered his servants to add one more person beside him. Hu chair, please sit down.

After some polite greetings, they finally took their seats. Mr. Qiao poured wine for Xu Li while introducing everyone to him.

Mrs. Qiao and the three Xu Li have already met each other. The two brothers and sisters have inherited Mrs. Xu's "advantages". It goes without saying that they are a family. It goes without saying that the middle-aged man is the eldest son of Mr. Qiao. Now he is an official. Worshiping the prince to wash the horse is an official in the East Palace.

As for tonight's reception banquet, it was this Young Master Qiao who helped Master Qiao come up with an idea, and Xu Li had to help.

"The misfortune of our family has made the Immortal laugh. Originally, I didn't dare to trouble the Immortal. But now that the matter has come to this, I have no choice but to be shameless and ask the Immortal to save me."

Master Qiao toasted Xu Li with a look of shame on his face. After saying that, without waiting for Xu Li to speak, he turned around and scolded:
  "Why don't you meet the master soon?"
