Weird World of Immortality

Chapter 146: Merchant's Story

The bonfire of bright yellow mixed with blue color rose and jumped in the dark night.

"I also heard this story." Chen Shanzhi looked at the bonfire and said slowly, "It happened in Tianliang City in our Tianliang City. I heard that it happened only a few years ago."

Tianliang City is the only city in Tianliang Li, where the official Tianliang Li Yamen and Yiluan Si are located.

"If you want to say where there are the most merchants in Tianliang City, it must be Tianliang City. Most of these merchants rely on going outside to collect valuable goods, and then return to Tianliang City to sell them for profit."

"They sometimes go to other villages in Tianliangli to receive the goods, but because our side is too remote and there is nothing too valuable, we rarely get it."

"You younger generation may not know very well." Chen Shanzhi looked at Zhou Fan and the others with a sallow face and smiled, his eyes were illuminated by the firelight, it was difficult to see the emotions in his eyes.

"Vendors go out to receive goods, even if they walk on the footpath, the risk is not small, not to mention that they can't stay on the footpath all the time. When they leave the footpath, how do you say they ensure their own safety?"

"Some vendors are warriors themselves. They can guarantee their own safety in the wild, but it is impossible for all vendors to be warriors." Chen Shanzhi almost answered himself.

"Those merchants who are not warriors have to hire warriors to protect themselves if they want to receive goods in the wild, but the number of warriors is too small, and the hiring price is high. Even if those vendors often collect money together to hire warriors, the cost to them is also high. Very high."

"After coming and going, if there is any problem with the received goods, it will be lost. Even if there is no problem in one trip, the expenses of the smooth and successful warriors will also dilute their profits."

"But the merchants can't do without the help of the warriors. Otherwise, relying on them alone, it is no different from sending them to death when they go out into the wild. Basically, there is no non-warrior merchant who dares to receive the goods without bringing a warrior."

"The reason why I say basic is because there will always be a few traders who dare to take risks in order to make huge profits. One of them is called Tian Xiangming, and he is probably the most courageous."

"Hey, how bold is this person? No matter how bold the merchants are, they will buy a few talismans that can hurt strange things, such as the Little Flame Talisman, before they set off. They can also deal with strange things. ."

"But this person is on the road alone. Apart from buying some auxiliary talismans such as ghostly flame talismans for overnight use, he never brings any talismans for combat use. A friend asked him why he didn't buy talismans that hurt strange things?"

"Tian Xiangming shook his head and said that it was too expensive. He was reluctant to bear it. He also said that if he ran into a slander, he wouldn't be able to beat it, and it would be useless to have those talismans."

"People in the city think that Tian Xiangming is seeking death by doing this, but surprisingly, when everyone thinks that he will not live long, he goes out to receive goods again and again, and he comes back again and again!"

"No one knows how this person did it?" Chen Shanzhi showed a look of amazement, "Some merchants speculated that Tian Xiangming had found a safe delivery route, and that route was safe enough to not encounter any weirdness. ."

"Tian Xiangming did not invite warriors to receive the goods, which saved a lot of money, so he got rich rewards, which inevitably attracted the attention of others, and some people tried to follow Tian Xiangming, trying to find out that he did not invite warriors and can ensure their own safety. secret."

"But, Tian Xiangming is very clever. Those who try to follow him will be easily thrown away by him when they are in the wild. There are even many people who follow Tian Xiangming on the road and encounter strange things and die."

"The wild couldn't keep up with Tian Xiangming's footsteps, so they returned to Tianliang City. The laws and regulations of Tianliang City are strict, and even warriors would not dare to trouble Tian Xiangming easily. Over time, they gave up spying on Tian Xiangming's secrets."

"In just two or three years, Tianxiang Ming's family has become more and more rich. If he is given a few more years, maybe he can become one of the few merchants in Tianliang City."

"This Tian Xiangming has made a fortune, but the way he does business has not changed. Every time he travels alone, he never wants to invite a martial artist. His wife persuaded him countless times, but he didn't listen."

"He is very confident. He once said that the outdoors is not much different from walking in Tianliang City." A faint smile appeared on Chen Shanzhi's face.

Zhou Fan and the others who listened to the story silently were stunned. Since a trader who has never practiced can go back and forth in the wild so many times without a problem, what does he rely on?

"But..." Chen Shanzhi began to turn a corner. "As the saying goes: if you walk too much at night, you will meet ghosts. This Tian Xiangming is too confident. He may have some ways to deal with dangers in the wild, but the wild is always changing. Even the most powerful warriors will be careful in the wild."

"What's more, he is just a small trader. That day was supposed to be the day he received the goods. His wife cooked a sumptuous meal at home and waited for him to come back as usual, but he never showed up that day."

"One day has passed, two days have passed, and the third day has passed. Tian Xiangming did not appear in Tianliang City. Everyone thought Tian Xiangming should be dead."

"There are people who are envious of Tian Xiangming, and there are his friends who sigh and feel sorry for him, but the saddest one is Tian Xiangming's wife."

"His wife married Tian Xiangming when he was the poorest. As for Tian Xiangming, after he made his fortune, he was grateful for her persistence. Even if his wife had nothing, he did not take a concubine. It was very loving.”

"After crying and fainting several times, she survived and held a funeral for Tian Xiangming, who may have no bones left, but on the day he was preparing to erect the tomb, Tian Xiangming actually came back!"

Zhou Fan and the others all raised their ears and listened carefully. They all thought that Tian Xiangming's return this time might not be easy.

"Tian Xiangming came back in ragged clothes, similar to a beggar, and his whole person was confused, but he passed the inspection of the Tianliang City patrol guards, so there should be no problem, everyone does not suspect him, his wife is more I was so happy that I burst into tears."

"Tian Xiangming's wife took Tian Xiangming home and invited a doctor for him. The doctor said that he was frightened and gave him a few medicines to calm his soul. Tian Xiangming took the medicine and took good care of his wife. , slowly woke up."

"Tian Xiangming, who woke up, said he didn't remember any trouble he encountered in the wild. He lost all the money and goods. His wife even said that it would be good if he came back, and he would not go to the merchant to receive the goods in the future. Tian Xiangming repeatedly agreed."

"But from that day on, Tian Xiangming's wife felt that her husband Tian Xiangming became strange."

"The first strange thing is that on a hot day, Tian Xiangming also wears a long gown, and sleeps with his clothes on at night, never willing to take off his gown, and when he takes a bath, he doesn't have to be served by a maid, and he hides in the bath by himself. Washing in the room, not even the wife is allowed in."
