Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

"Since Mr. said so, I have the audacity to accept the old dragon."

"It's just that this article is a famous article through the ages, and it was written by Mr. himself. It is extremely precious. It is only a set of four treasures of the study, but the old dragon took advantage of it."

"The old dragon was in a hurry to go out today. He didn't bring too many things. He just took a few pieces of precious jade and two bright pearls. Although these two things are not one ten thousandth of the previous masterpiece, they are also a wish of the old dragon. I hope that Mr. Take it."

Jinghe Dragon King carefully put away the copybook, then took out six pieces of pure white jade and two fist-sized luminous pearls from his pocket, put them on the stone table, and said with a face of shame.

Chen Qi looked at the jade and orbs on the stone table, and then turned his head to listen to the embarrassing words of the Dragon King of Jinghe.

The word "handy" is really good.

Although Chen Qi didn't know much about jade and orbs, but not knowing that didn't mean he was blind.

Seeing the blinding aura on the jade discs and orbs in front of him, he knew how valuable these jade discs and orbs were.

"What does the Dragon King mean by this? Don't you think that Chen is a greedy person who loves money?"

Chen Qi frowned and said in a deep voice.

Although he is greedy for money, he is not greedy. He knows very well that although his copybooks can be sold for a good price, they are far inferior to the few treasures that the Dragon King of Jinghe brought out.

Not to mention, with these pieces of jade and orbs, will the Dragon King of Jinghe underestimate him?

It's hard to get over it just by shutting down one's own heart.

Of course, if it's just a piece of jade, or a precious pearl.

Then it's okay, because Chen Qi is confident that his work can still be worth the price, at most the selling price is a little higher.

Now that there are six pieces of jade and two jewels, they cannot be accepted.

Because there are too many.

This matter may sound difficult to understand, after all, you are waiting for the Dragon King of Jinghe in order to make a lot of money.

As a result, the Dragon King of Renjinghe bought your calligraphy and paintings, and you don’t give them too much. Isn’t this a disease?

However, Chen Qi doesn't think so, because he also has his own bottom line.

For example, you painted a painting, and the market estimate is one hundred yuan.

Then Bieyuan is willing to spend [-] or [-] to buy your paintings, you may be very happy, and feel that when you meet Bole, others really like your paintings.

However, if someone pays one million to buy your calligraphy and painting with a market price of one hundred, how would you react?

Can you still sell the painting to the other party with peace of mind?

I'm afraid that if others give you money, you won't dare to sell it.

In addition, if your calligraphy and painting are sold for a thousand times the price from this person, will you be willing to sell it to someone else at a price of one hundred next time?

Do you still expect that person to spend one million to buy your calligraphy and painting?

In this way, you will unknowingly expect and depend on that person, and will accept other people's charity with peace of mind.

Such consequences are undoubtedly very dire...  

It was true that Chen Qi had plotted against the Dragon King of Jinghe, and it was true that he wanted to get a fortune from him, but he didn't want to use this method.

If you take too much, you will invisibly owe the Jinghe Dragon King's favor. This is undoubtedly the result that Chen Qi does not want to see.

Compared to Jinghe Dragon King buying his calligraphy and painting at a super high price of ten times and a hundred times, he would rather achieve his goal by stealing, cheating, conspiracy and tricks.

Because, even if he stole, robbed and plotted against the Dragon King of Jinghe, he could feel at ease, and this was his own labor income.

He may be guilty, but he will not owe the Dragon King of Jinghe a favor, let alone feel inferior to the Dragon King of Jinghe.

Therefore, facing the temptation of jade bi and orb, Chen Qi directly chose to refuse.

It is said that people are old and smart, and the Dragon King of Jinghe can be described as old and smart. He only took a look at Chen Qi, and guessed Chen Qi's thoughts in a strange way, and immediately apologized: "Sir, don't Misunderstanding, please listen to the old dragon speak slowly!"

"If it is the articles of other Confucian scholars, even if it is a first-grade great Confucian article in the realm of the unity of man and nature, it is nothing more than ten thousand taels of red gold. I will give the old dragon a Yeming Pearl."

"However, Mr.'s article is not only a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, but also compatible with our dragon clan. For this alone, it is worth one hundred thousand gold, and it cannot be exchanged for treasure."

"Old Dragon, I also know that Mr. has a noble character. He doesn't like yellow and white vulgar things. He dare not stain Mr.'s eyes with gold and silver, so I offer jade and precious pearls."

"Although these items are less than one ten-thousandth of Mr.'s articles, they are still the wishes of the old dragon. I hope you will accept them."

0.0

"Otherwise, how could the old dragon have the face to ask for this calligraphy from Mr. If he really wants to accept it, wouldn't he be ridiculed by the world for nothing?"

As an old dragon king who has lived for thousands of years, Ao Qing perfectly demonstrated his art of speaking.

Hearing this, Chen Qi was stunned for a while, and he couldn't accept it if he didn't want to.

However, even if Jinghe Dragon King was right, Chen Qi would not break his bottom line.

After several evasions to no avail, he only accepted a piece of jade and a pearl of night light as a reward for his copybook.

Although the selling price is still a bit high, it has not reached the point of being indebted to others anyway.

In this way, Xiao Nanshan and his party can be said to have completed their merits and virtues.

A "Humble Room Inscription" allowed him to directly realize the freedom of wealth.

It also made him not have to worry about gold and silver for a long time in the future. .

Chapter 62

One is the old dragon king who has lived for an unknown number of years, and the other is a traveler who has read Confucian classics and came from later generations.

The two chatted all over the world on the top of Xiaonan Mountain, and there was a feeling of acquaintance.

We chatted very happily, wishing to cut off the chicken head, burn the yellow paper, the kind of worship.

From Jinghe Dragon King, Chen Qi learned many secrets of the world, especially about the sacredness of immortals and Buddhas, and the practice of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

It can be said that he has gained a lot, so that he will not be blind to the practice world of Journey to the West.

And the Dragon King of Jinghe consulted Chen Qi for a lot of Confucian classics and sage words.

In terms of cultivation, Chen Qi naturally didn't dare to say much, he could only be regarded as a newcomer.

But in terms of understanding of Confucian classics and sage's speech, he considers himself second, and I am afraid that no one in the entire human world dares to be number one.

After all, with the assistance of the system, he has thoroughly understood the mainstream Confucian classics, and he also understands all the subtle words and righteousness of the Confucian sages. At this time, when he explained it, he was naturally clear and logical, and the Dragon King of Jinghe was amazed.

So unknowingly, the Golden Crow fell to the west, and it was already evening.

Chen Qi and Ao Qing, the Dragon King of Jinghe, also had to stop discussing and bid farewell.

Ao Qing intends to invite Chen Qi to live in Jinghe Shui Mansion temporarily, but Chen Qi refuses.

Although chatting happily with Ao Qing, Chen Qi still did not forget his duty.

He is still the school secretary of the Imperial Academy of the Tang Dynasty, and he still needs to go to work.

At the same time, he still needs to continue to study hard and continue to improve his strength.

During the conversation with Ao Qing, Chen Qi also gained a deeper understanding of the world.

Unlike before, the understanding of Journey to the West comes from miscellaneous biographies, biography, unofficial history, etc. It is not known whether it is true or not.

It is precisely the more you know, the more you can feel your own weakness.

According to Ao Qing's narration, the Earth Immortal Realm today has been more than two thousand years since the first battle of Conferred Gods.

Of course, this is only calculated according to the time in the Earth Immortal Realm. If it is changed to other prehistoric worlds, this time will not be accurate.

After the Battle of the Conferred Gods, the world collapsed and the Dao was incomplete, so the gods and gods have left this world and headed for a wider world.

Although the current Earth Immortal Realm is divided into four continents and four seas, it is vast and seemingly boundless.

However, the current Earth Immortal Realm is just an insignificant corner of the original prehistoric world after it was shattered, but it is the closest to the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heaven Realm, so it is called the Earth Immortal Realm.

Because the Dao is incomplete, most of the monks in the Earth Immortal Realm will choose to ascend to the Heaven Realm after breaking through the first-rank realm.

Only a small number of monks will choose to stay in the world, and such monks are also called land gods.

The four continents of the Earth Immortal World can be divided into Dongshengshenzhou, Nanzhanbuzhou, Beijuluzhou, and Xiniuhezhou.

Dongsheng Shenzhou is inhabited by the human race, and there are hundreds of nations, large and small. Among them, the Tang Dynasty is the most powerful, occupying the most fertile land in Dongsheng Shenzhou. While being respected by other dynasties, there are also many countries Peeping at the prosperity and richness of the Tang Dynasty.

When the Dragon King of Jinghe talked about this, Chen Qi once asked: "What is the strength of the Tang Dynasty?"

The Dragon King of Jinghe replied: "There are three million armored soldiers, covering an area of ​​three million miles, three caves and blessed lands, five mid-thousand worlds, eighteen small-thousand worlds, twelve terrestrial gods, and a first-rank heavenly place." Thirty-six people, more than a thousand masters of the third rank, it can be said to be extremely strong."

Chen Qi fell silent after hearing this.

Although he had already guessed that the Great Tang Dynasty in this world was not simple, he never expected that it would be so difficult.

Especially the land area of ​​the Tang Dynasty shocked him even more.

Note that it is not three million square kilometers, but three million miles.

That is a radius of three million miles.

This distance can make people run five round trips from the earth to the moon.

Sun Wukong made a somersault for a thousand miles. If he wanted to go around Datang, he had to do at least two hundred somersaults.

In addition, the Tang Dynasty not only mastered three caves and blessed places in the Earth Immortal Realm, but also mastered five middle thousand worlds and eighteen small thousand worlds.

The division of the large, medium and small thousand worlds in Journey to the West is very simple. The world that cannot accommodate the first-level power of immortals and gods is the small thousand worlds.

A world that can accommodate ordinary immortals but cannot accommodate the power of golden immortals is considered a middle-thousand world.

Such as the Earth Immortal Realm, although the area is a little smaller, the law of the Dao is also broken.

But it can still accommodate the existence of golden immortals, so it is a great world.

Datang has mastered three middle thousand worlds and eighteen small thousand worlds, which is enough to prove the horror of his strength, and it is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface.

Therefore, what Chen Qi told Jinghe Dragon King that there were only twelve terrestrial gods and thirty-six first-rank celestial beings in the Tang Dynasty, he didn't really believe it.

He felt that this data should at least double to be normal.

This does not take into account the hidden immortal god-level combat power of the major families and sects of the Immortal Dao in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise there would be no ten times or eight times the name of the first dynasty of the human race in the fairy world.

Only one Tang Dynasty had such power, so what if the Xiongnu, Tubo, hundreds of countries in the Western Regions, and South Vietnam were counted?

It only needs a simple guess to know that there are no less than a hundred immortals and gods in Dongsheng Shenzhou.
