Taiping Inn

Although Lu Shizhen tried to persuade them to stay several times, Li Xuandu and Qin Su still did not stay overnight at Xianjian Villa. After the banquet, they said goodbye and left.

Next, the two will return to Langya Prefecture, but will not go to the prefecture city again. Instead, they will go directly to the mountain city not far from Jinao Peak, and then go to Guanhai Tower from the mountain city.

According to Qin Su's original plan, these two places were her must-go places. Although some accidents have happened now, the itinerary remains unchanged, but the person accompanying her has changed from Lu Yanbing to Li Xuandu. As for Lu Yanbing, after handling the affairs of Langya Prefecture, he will go directly to Guanhai Tower and wait for them there.

After the two entered the territory of Langya Prefecture, they could see the continuous mountains that seemed to hang at the end of the sky. That was the majestic Taiqing Mountain, which stretched across most of Qizhou. However, as the saying goes, if you look at the mountains, you will die. The mountains seem not far away. When the weather is clear, many scenes on the mountains can be seen faintly. However, walking is not easy. Otherwise, how can you say that you are walking in the rivers and lakes? Fighting and killing are just a matter of lightning and flint. Most of the time is spent on walking.

If it were one person, it would be nothing more than rushing on the road. Now there are two people, so they chat about the local customs and customs while rushing on the road. Although Qin Su comes to Qizhou almost once a year, how can he compare with Li Xuandu who grew up here in terms of familiarity with Qizhou. Especially Langya Prefecture, which is closest to Qingwei Sect, is the place where Qingwei Sect disciples are most active.

According to geographical division, Jin'ao Peak of Donghua Sect is also in the territory of Langya Prefecture. Shanshi is under the protection of Donghua Sect on the surface, but in secret, it has to deal with Qingwei Sect. The Tianwei Hall is now in charge of Qizhou affairs. Although the Tianwei Hall has been sent to open up the road to the North Sea, there has been no movement for various reasons, so the Tianwei Hall is still mainly active in Qizhou. If you want to handle money, you can't do without the Tianfu Hall. The function of this hall is similar to the Ministry of Revenue of the court, which is to manage money and grain.

The head of the Tianfu Hall is a woman. She is over fifty years old and still looks like a 28-year-old girl. She is not the person of the clan leader Li Yuanying, but like the Tianyou Hall, they are all directly managed by the old clan leader. The old clan leader can see clearly that whether it is a country or a family, the most important thing to raise troops and gather people is "money and grain", and he must hold it in his own hands.

At this point, Qin Su couldn't help but be curious about the Tianfu Hall Master's beauty-preserving technique. After all, they are all women, and who doesn't want to stay young forever? However, as long as they don't reach the realm of immortality, they will still age slowly, but it's not so obvious. Maybe a woman in her 70s looks like a woman in her 30s, but it's not as good as being in her youth.

Li Xuandu didn't understand these things. Few men would specialize in the beauty-preserving technique. After all, there is a saying that goes, "If there is no hair on the mouth, the work will not be solid." If you are too young, you will not have dignity, so most men will not care about these things, just let it go, such as Li Daoxu and Zhang Haishi. There are also people like Zang Lao Ren who "love ugliness". They don't even repair half of their face skin, and their external incarnation is as ugly as it can be. Even if there are people who care, they will not make themselves look like a 20-year-old, probably around 40 years old, so that they can not hide their Taoist bones and immortal style, and secondly, they can have the demeanor of an elder without losing dignity.

Even Earth Master Xu Wugui and Great Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu were no exception, because they were more than just children or scholars.

Facing Qin Su's questioning, Li Xuandu could only stammer and say something he imagined, but as a martial artist who had never practiced fasting, Li Xuandu's imagination was full of loopholes, and Qin Su saw through it at a glance. Next, Qin Su began to teach Li Xuandu about various things about maintaining youth and health, such as how to fast, what exercises to learn, which elixirs to take, which elixirs are better, which elixirs are more affordable, and how to bargain...

Li Xuandu listened patiently at first, but after listening for a long time, he saw that Qin Su had no intention of stopping, so he could only interrupt her and said, "Miss Qin, you are not short of money, so why do you care about these? Not to mention the salary your uncle gives you, you can earn a lot even if you write books yourself, right?"

Qin Su raised her eyebrows: "It's one thing that I am not short of money, but who says that if you are not short of money, you can spend it recklessly? Frugality is a virtue. Besides, my money is also I earned it penny by penny, not by trickery or robbery. "

Li Xuandu said: "You are indeed a good wife who helps the family live."

Qin Su said earnestly: "I can see that you are used to spending money lavishly and don't treat money as money. This is not good. You will regret not having enough money when you need it. Now you are short of money, right?"

Li Xuandu said: "I am living a life of luxury today and worrying about tomorrow tomorrow. I can live with money and I can live without money."

"You are always right. You are always right." Qin Su said with a smile: "When we get to the mountain market later, if you like something, let me negotiate the price."

As we get closer to the mountain market, there are obviously more people from the rivers and lakes on the road.

How to distinguish whether someone is a person from the rivers and lakes is actually simple. In addition to looking at the realm and cultivation, there is also the dress. Many people in the underworld like to wear strange clothes, different from ordinary people. For example, some people insist on wearing white mink fur in the hot summer, or some people insist on going shirtless in the winter, some are Taoists or monks but they carry guns and swords, and some are not monks but they have shaved heads.

Among these people, Li Xuandu and Qin Su are just ordinary. Not far away from them, there was a charming woman wearing a large-sleeved uniform with her shoulders exposed. Her white and bright shoulders made her eyes look nowhere to rest. She walked swaying like the wind swaying lotus leaves. In this chaotic time, it is so silly that he dares to walk alone in the world, so naturally he will not be a good woman who will not leave the door without leaving the door.

Li Xuandu's eyes swept across the woman, his face remained unchanged, and he was upright and righteous.

Qin Su also glanced at it, hesitated for a moment, covered her face with her sleeves, and when she lowered her sleeves, she had already taken off the skin on her face, revealing her true face.

Li Xuan was a little surprised and said, "Why are you willing to use your true colors?"

Qin Su said: "In the past, I was walking alone in the world, afraid of causing trouble. Now Isn't you there?"

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I'm flattered."

The two of them turned into the main road and walked side by side, which was a little eye-catching at this time. The pedestrians who come and go, regardless of men, women, age, will throw their curious eyes. If they are men, they will probably be a little stunning. It is mainly attributed to Qin Su who restored her original appearance and was very outstanding in appearance. In the mouths of good people, she is a fairy-like style. However, Li Xuan is not inferior. People in the world are far less harsh about men than women. Many times, it depends on their temperament. The so-called temperament is invisible and intangible, and is mostly reflected in every move and every word and action. Xuandu and Qin Su walked with him, without any restraint, fear and calmness. In addition, he was also handsome, so the two of them complemented each other when they were together.

Li Xuandu sighed softly: "I haven't been here for many years. When I came last time, it was the second year of Tianbao. My second brother took me back to the East China Sea from the Imperial Capital. When he passed by this place, he saw that I was confused and did not. I wanted to take me here to relax and buy me a lot of gadgets, all of which are boring to relieve boredom.”

Qin Su said softly: "Your second senior brother treats you very well."

Li Xuan said with emotion: "The real son is nothing more than that."

Qin Su smiled and said, "For this Mr. Zhang, Bingyan is three-point afraid, three-point respect, four-point closeness, and twelve-point resentment. She always feels that Mr. Zhang prefers you more and ignores her."

Li Xuandu laughed heartily and said, "This is right."

After about half a day, the two of them finally arrived at the small town where Shan City is located. Because the two of them were traveling all night, it was dawn at this time, and it happened to be over in the night market in Shan City.

The so-called night market, also known as ghost market, is usually traded from the second half of the night to before dawn. Since it is traded at night, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false of many goods and good or bad, so it is easy to be deceived, especially many stolen goods of incorrect origins. I'll take off my hands here, so if I have good eyes, I may pick up a bargain, or if I am not careful, I will get a fishy look.

The two entered it. Although there were all kinds of lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, almost as bad as the Imperial Capital during the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, many things were still difficult to distinguish.

The two of them walked on the street and saw that many people were not talking directly when they were bargaining, but instead shrank their hands in their sleeves. Then they gestured to their cuffs, and outsiders could not see them, which was very different from those who did business outside.

Qin Su was surprised, but heard Li Xuandu say, "This is called "swalking gold in his sleeves". It is not only a quick calculation method used by merchants in Qinzhou and Jinzhou, but also a bargaining method. It emphasizes that a wealth is not exposed, and the green forest is People in the underworld often use this technique. Those who use this technique to trade here are mostly unclean goods, and they may even carry blood."

Of course, it does not mean that the thing is dirty, but that the origin is not right. The meaning of blood is that there is a lawsuit for life on this thing.

"Su Su, what objects do you like, don't ask for the price easily. This place is different from ordinary places. As long as you ask for the price, then wait for the customers to be slaughtered." Li Xuandu reminded.

"Are you also gestured in your sleeves like them?" Qin Su suddenly browed: "What's the rule?"

Li Xuandu patiently explained: "Selling an object to an expert and selling it to a sucker is two prices. In addition, it is asking for a lot of money to pay it back, so these sellers often give several prices. If you ask for the price, you don't. If you buy it, you are heard by others. The seller will rely on you and say that you have leaked the lowest price."

Qin Su nodded.

Li Xuandu grabbed Qin Su's hand and lowered his voice, "There are no good things in these street stalls. Most stall owners are travelers who come here temporarily. If you want to see some good things, you still have to go to a regular shop."
