Chapter 857 Residence (4200 supplement)
‘Fat sheep, or double act? ’
Zhong Shenxiu remained calm, just uncorked the black vial and poured out a little powder.
The salesman next to him said, "I'll tell you the truth, as long as you pick up a little bit of this shark's powder the size of a fingernail, mix it with wine and swallow it, you'll be able to live vigorously for several hours..."
"It is indeed a wonderful thing, a wonderful thing!"
Qi Yuan nodded repeatedly: "A new girl has recently arrived in Yixiang Tower. Her waist and figure...are simply amazing! With such a gift, she will be able to kill her to the point of kneeling down and begging for mercy..."
"If it's the powder of shark scales, then it's worth it..."
Zhong Shenxiu glanced at the book boy who was about to cry, and said, "But you... seem to be the bone meal of a sea monkey."
"Sea monkey?"
The expressions of several onlookers around him changed.
This is a legendary monster that lives in the sea and likes to drag people into the sea and drown them alive, then eat their brains again.
"Sea Monkey, also known as 'kappa', although its bone powder also has a strong aphrodisiac effect, it cuts down the source. It does not have the miraculous effect of the shark's powder in aphrodisiac and consolidating true yang... Even if you take too much, it will cause There is a danger of detachment...the value is greatly reduced, your bottle is worth at most fifty copper coins."
Zhong Shenxiu shook his head and said.
This insight can be seen from the manuscript of "Four Seas Wonders".
Although the author's copying is messy and there are only two serious spells, he has recorded a lot of miscellaneous experiences.
Especially some of the strange marine creatures opened Zhong Shenxiu's horizons.
"Fifty copper horns?"
A trace of panic flashed across the salesman's face, and he shouted: "This is authentic shark scale powder, not some sea monkey..."
"Really? The scales of the sharks will smell fragrant when burned, but the bone meal of sea monkeys will smell fishy after being burned. Do you want to give it a try?"
Zhong Shenxiu asked with a half-smile on his face.
"Fifty coppers are too little. I need at least one silver dollar." The salesman finally struggled.
Qi Yuan's expression changed. How could he not understand that he had really been deceived and almost taken advantage of?
"Just fifty copper horns, do you want it?"
Zhong Shenxiu threw out a row of small coins and looked at the salesman.
"Alas...I met an expert today."
The salesman sighed, handed the vial to Zhong Shenxiu, packed up his load, and said goodbye.
‘This person…may have some connection with the sea, and that’s a way. Let’s put the bait out and hang it first…’
Zhong Shenxiu looked at his back and smiled without saying a word.
"This brother is very knowledgeable and very admirable."
Qi Yuan sat down directly opposite Zhong Shenxiu: "I thank you for reminding me just now, but you haven't asked me your name yet?"
"Fang Lang!"
Zhong Shenxiu collected the bottle and replied calmly: "Is this young man a foreign student?"
"Yes, I have been fond of novelty things since I was a child. Later, I begged my father to send him to study abroad in the West. However, all the mysterious people there have associations... It is extremely difficult for people from my country to enter, let alone a foreigner like me. People!"
Qi Yuan smiled bitterly: "After I graduate, I will return to Dazhou, ready to continue searching for immortals and asking questions..."
"I also have the desire to seek the Tao, but... true cultivation is elusive and hard to find."
Zhong Shenxiu chatted with Qi Yuan for a few more words. His demeanor, temperament, and conversation all made Qi Yuan heartbroken, and then he mentioned something.
"Real cultivator? I have news here. In three days, there will be a Liuxian town 20 miles east of the nearby place. There is a Taoist priest there who will open the door to accept disciples!"
Qi Yuandao: "I have personally seen that Taoist priest cast spells, but he is really capable. If my brother is so determined, how about we go together in three days?"
‘What a genius! ’
‘No wonder I feel that he has some aura, but it’s not deep! ’
Zhong Shenxiu made a conclusion in her heart and smiled on her face: "Of course we will go together, let's go together!"
…
Three days later.
Outside Liuxian Ancient Town, Zhong Shenxiu and Qi Yuan got off the carriage, looked at the mottled buildings, and exhaled a long breath.
The carriage bumped along the way, which was not pleasant.
"That Taoist priest 'Juliuzi' is really capable. He once demonstrated Taoism, cut paper into the moon, and a fairy jumped out of the moon palace..."
Qi Yuan's eyes lit up when he said this. He sneaked out this time without even taking the book boy with him: "If I can join the Immortal Sect, I will be satisfied if I only learn this skill."
Zhong Shenxiu was speechless upon hearing this.
At this moment, several horses galloped towards the roadside. Their momentum was unparalleled. They saw people on the roadside and did not slow down at all to avoid them.
"Get out of my way!"
From the horse, a woman waved a whip and whipped it over.
Zhong Shenxiu pulled Qi Yuan back and narrowly escaped the whip. Qi Yuan was so angry that when he saw the knights leaving, he cursed: "Bah... These people in the world are relying on each other. After learning two skills, he acts tyrannically and deserves to be killed!"
"It turns out he is a Jianghu person."
Zhong Shenxiu nodded, thinking that the other party was indeed a martial artist dressed in smart clothes and with bulging waist, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Are they also here for the residence?"
Snapped!
Qi Yuan clapped his hands and shouted: "We can't let them get the upper hand!"
He immediately pulled Zhong Shenxiu and hurriedly entered the ancient town.
There is a huge mansion above the ancient town, and many people have stopped at the door.
Among them were a few well-dressed and angry people, three men and one woman, full of heroic spirit, but also looking at everyone like ants.
If the other party is an immortal, that's it.
But Zhong Shenxiu looked over and saw only a few warriors with slightly stronger energy and blood than ordinary people...
In addition to them, there are many people in the world, wealthy businessmen, and gentry. Obviously, this time the residence is recruiting disciples, and the momentum is quite high.
"Good boy, you can definitely become a disciple of the old immortal. Look at how old these people are. How dare you come to seek immortality?"
A fat man like a wealthy landlord, dressed in silk and satin, was coaxing his fat son.
At this moment, the door opened with a bang, and an old man with immortal demeanor stood at the door, smiling and saying: "I am a poor Taoist, I will open the door today to accept disciples. Those who are destined can enter the main hall and listen to the old Taoist lecture. Select the best ones and record them..."
"The old god is bright!"
Among the previous gang of Jianghu people, a swordsman in green clasped his fist and said: "He Ling Sword Sun Chu, these are my sworn brothers and sisters. Even if they can't join the Taoist clan, they are still willing to do the hard work..."
These words were flattering and shameless, making everyone roll their eyes while secretly hating how they had been beaten first.
Zhong Shenxiu and Qi Yuan smiled at each other, entered the mansion, passed a somewhat deserted garden, and arrived at the lobby.
This hall is vast and can accommodate hundreds of people. There are tables around it. A group of people are sitting on the floor. The old Taoist Juliuzi is at the top and begins to preach: "The Tao is nothingness. Those who have gained the emptiness of the Tao can turn the invisible into something, and change birds, beasts, horses, etc." Feng He, Xi Jiao Whale..."
"Because of the changes in the surrounding sky, I am all things, and all things can be me. In my body, I can change into pinworms and roundworms on the inside, lice and fleas on the outside, turtles and fishes for fistulas, rats and ants for fistulas..."
Its sound is mysterious and has incredible power.
Everyone in the hall felt as if they had heard the wonderful sutra. They were intoxicated and their eyes gradually became blurred.
Zhong Shenxiu also pretended to be fascinated by what he heard, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
In his eyes, the old Taoist Juliuzi's pale face suddenly became distorted and ferocious... Two huge tumors appeared on the opponent's shoulders, and there seemed to be countless bugs crawling in and out of them...
Inexplicable tree root tentacles penetrated Juliuzi's body, making him look like a puppet on strings.
