Vol 3 Chapter 54: It is the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan

Thanks to the second master of East China and friends from ererdfsfs for their rewards.
Shi Xuan didn't expect the middle-aged woodman to be so scared. He waved his sleeves on his face, and then smiled to see the middle-aged woodman wake up.
The middle-aged woodcutter first turned his eyeballs under his eyelids slightly, and then opened a slit slightly. When he saw that the young man was still opposite, he quickly closed his eyes again, pretending to be unconscious. .
"Hehe, if you still don't wake up, Hugh Guaishi will throw you to the wolf's lair." A peaceful voice came to his ears, and the middle-aged woodman slapped with a clever voice and hurriedly turned over and knelt down: "Hero, no No, Daxian, please spare the little ones. There are eighty-year-old mothers on the little ones, and three-year-old children on the bottom..."
Shi Xuan shook his head to stop his endless talk: "Shi Mou is just asking for directions, why should you be so alarmed? As long as you tell Shi Mou which state, province, city and market town is under, Shi Mou will leave immediately."
The middle-aged woodman gave a very ugly smile: "Returning to Daxian, below is Xinglong Town in Tiannan City, Jingjiang Prefecture, Yunzhou. Although it is a town, because it is close to the Shiwan Mountain, there are many rare and exotic animals, precious trees, and strange Merchants with flowers, exotic herbs and precious herbs are here, so it is extremely prosperous, not worse than ordinary big cities."
Shi Xuan was a little satisfied with the location. When merchants frequently came, he could follow a certain caravan to Yangzhou. Returning to the Middle Earth this time, one is to sharpen the Taoist heart in the red dust, and strive to lead the Qi to Consummation before going to the North Sea waters, and the other is to take a look at the practice status of a few disciples, if they are still looking to the Immortal Dao and working hard Don't stop, the Dao heart is firm, then take them back to Longguan, let them go to the sea area of ​​the three islands.
Because of the inheritance of Xu Lao Dao, Shi Xuan did not think of bringing Xu Jinyi, Yan Jujian, and Ding Mingde all under the Penglai School. However, with his status in the Penglai School, he would find a good island in the waters of the three islands. They built a small sect attached to the Penglai School, and it was not impossible. After all, the three island waters are far better than the Middle Earth in terms of resources and the atmosphere of cultivation.
Of course, all of this depends on their own wishes and the current situation. Shi Xuan just did it smoothly. If it doesn't work, he won't get entangled or spend more energy.
Now that the purpose has been established, Shi Xuan decided to find Xu Jinyi at Xujia in Yangzhou, then to Jianya in Ganzhou to find Yan Jujian, then to Ding Mingde at the junction of Chuzhou and Mingzhou, and finally to Chu Wan'er in the small towns around Luojing. , And then bring those who are willing to go to the waters of the three islands to Luojing Huilongguan. As for myself, I will return to Yangzhou, set sail and cross the storm to overseas countries.
On this road, Shi Xuan didn't use the escape method to drive, but slowly walked in the red dust. After a large circle, it would take about two years. By then, it should be not far from the enlightenment Consummation.
Seeing that his answer satisfied Shi Xuan, the middle-aged woodcutter was half worried. The young man looked handsome, not like a vicious person or a vicious ghost.
Shi Xuan chuckled: "You answered well, and Shi must give you some reward."
"Don't dare not, Daxian doesn't have to be polite." The middle-aged woodcutter said that he didn't dare, but his eyes glowed hot.
Shi Xuan didn't answer, and walked to the surrounding giant trees, tapped a dozen in a row, and then walked slowly towards the town without looking back.
The middle-aged woodcutter was dumbfounded: "I'm just talking about it, the immortal really left." As soon as the voice fell, a breeze blew by, the dozen giant trees suddenly creaked, and then rumbling together. Falling to the ground, aroused a lot of smoke.
"This, this..." The middle-aged woodsman opened his eyes wide, shouting in his heart that this is a Hercules, but he stammered in speechlessness, and murmured for a long time: "How can I resist? Move so many huge trees home."
…………
Xinglong Town.
Shi Xuan just found the Yangzhou Guild Hall, and saw a long caravan parked outside the Guild Hall. There were more than 100 horse-drawn carriages alone, and there were hundreds of guards around. It seemed to be a very big business.
Generally, large businessmen with a large number of guards will make some business trips with people by the way. Those small businessmen who cannot afford guards, groups of three or five or lone travelers, can join the caravan after paying the money. It is much safer to go on the road alone.
Shi Xuan followed the trail to find the steward in charge of this transaction. It was a fat middle-aged man with a big belly. In the hot weather in Yunzhou, his face was sweaty and he kept wiping with a white towel in his hand.
"The steward, I don't know where the caravan is? If you go to Yangzhou or Jiangnan several states, I don't know if you can take a trip to the stone." Shi Xuan saw that several men and women had already paid for the caravan to be free. Several carriages go.
The fat steward wiped his sweat and said, "It's in Yangzhou City. If you don't care about food, you will pay twenty taels of silver per person. If you are in charge of food, the money will be settled every five days.
Shi Xuan has long been bigu. Although he sometimes has some gluttony, it is only for food. The ordinary food provided by this caravan definitely does not meet Shi Xuan's standards, so Shi Xuan said: "Don't worry about the food. Shi has his own food."
"Well, Chenghui ten taels of silver." That fat manager didn't care about things, he couldn't get the money, it was another manager who was in charge.
Shi Xuan stretched his hand into his arms, and then realized that he hadn't used silver for twenty years, and he didn't even carry it on his body. He was wondering whether to use illusion to change an ingot, and suddenly remembered that there was still something in the storage bag. So he took the night pearl out and handed it to the fat steward: "Shi Mou just used up his money. It's better to sell the night pearl to the steward, so that you can exchange some money." As for the method of turning stones into gold, Shi Xuan Ke didn't. Those advanced methods involving material transformation would not be learned without the soul.
The fat manager's cheeks and fat twitched fiercely before he picked up the Pearl for the night and said, "Although Huang Shusheng is not very knowledgeable, there are many experts in the Golden Wind Firm. I will show them. , You can’t blame me.
After speaking, he did not leave immediately, but looked at Shi Xuan:
By the way, you have to show me your way to avoid getting into the caravan.

Shi Xuan didn't have a guide, but it didn't bother him. He touched it slowly in his arms, and then pulled out a piece of paper with a whistle, "This is Shi's guide."
A few feet away behind Fat Guanshi, a young couple was putting the parcel back on their backs. The delicate young woman said to her husband: "My husband, you can take the road and take it away. You can still use it if you want to."
The husband grinned and said: "Save, save. It won't fall." But when he raised his hand, it was empty, and he was shocked: "Eh, where's the guide? I obviously held it in my hand." Look around.
The fat steward picked up the guide and looked at Shi Xuan carefully, "Well, a person from Xia'an Mansion, with the surname Shi Mingxuan. Oh, this portrait is too similar!" There are only a few paintings on the usual road guide. Recognizing whether it is a man or a woman, probably the characteristics are good, but the portrait on the road guide is very similar to Shi Xuan, although it is also very simple, but it is lifelike, and it is everyone's hand.
Could it be that Xia'an Mansion hired a good painter, Fat Guan could only explain himself in this way, and then led the way back to Shi Xuan: "Wait and wait, I will find someone to identify the pearl of the night."
Shi Xuanping calmly took the guide, and then slowly put it in his arms, but did not say a word, making the fat steward wonder as he walked: "Ordinary people, if such a precious Ye Mingzhu were handed over to a stranger for identification, how would it be? So calm! Could it be that this young man has a big background or great ability? Well, judging by his demeanor, he is extraordinary." Fat Guan Shi had also stored in his heart that the pearl of the night was really precious, and he had to pretend to be stupid and deceive others. The idea of ​​putting Ye Mingzhu into his bag, but now hesitates a bit. For so many years, he doesn't know how many people in charge of offending people who shouldn't be offended because of offending, and as a result, there are no bones left.
The delicate young woman beat her husband lightly, and said with a small smile: "My husband, stop playing, isn't this a guide?" Pointing to the corner of the paper exposed in her husband's arms.
The husband took it out questioningly. It was his own guide, and he muttered to himself, "When did I put it in my arms?"
………
"Huang Shusheng, you are going to make a fortune!!" A little old man with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek and a high hat looked at Fat Manager in envy and shock.
Fat Manager was overjoyed and asked again, succumbing to gains and losses: "Really, this night Pearl really cares about money?"
The little old man slapped his thigh: "What I lied to you! This is produced by giant clams in the sea of ​​storms. You also know that the sea of ​​storms is full of torrential rains all the year round, and where ships can get in! Only the giant clams that die occasionally are washed out. Only then will I get a pearl of this night. I’m afraid it’s worth a thousand dollars! Hey, if you get it, don’t let me moisten me a little bit, otherwise, don’t blame me for talking everywhere."
In ecstasy, the fat steward nodded blankly, then turned around and got off the carriage, echoing in his heart: I am going to be rich, I am going to be rich.
But when he changed his mind, the fat steward remembered that he did not have a few hundred taels of gold to buy this pearl. Under his chagrin, his greed rose. His business is strong, but the place where Drizzle is waiting for the next one. The young man has it again. Where can the background be? It's better to give him dozens of taels of silver to buy it by force.
Make a decision. The fat steward only feels comfortable all over, and he is about to go to where he was before striding forward. But as he walks, the fat steward sees the guards, grooms, and handymen around him looking at him with funny eyes. I looked at myself up and down, there was no problem. I looked around my body, and all the cold hairs on my body suddenly stood up. It turned out that I was still standing still after walking for so long!
Ghost, ghost hit the wall! Fat steward only had this thought in his mind. He wanted to shout, but he couldn't even hear the sound. He was so panicked and afraid that he was sweating like rain. He asked God to worship Buddha and chant: "Great mercy and compassion Pudu Bodhisattva bless you, great mercy and compassion. Purdue Bodhisattva bless you. If the younger ones can go out, they will definitely reward the gods by killing pigs."
After chanting for a long time, it was useless. Fat Guanshi read all the immortals, bodhisattvas, Buddhas, and immortals he knew, but he was still spinning around and almost collapsed. Suddenly, an idea emerged in his heart, and it wasn't because someone had become greedy that he would encounter evil spirits in his way.
This thought can't be stopped as soon as it appears. The fat manager hesitated and said, "The little Huang Shusheng should not be greedy. Please bypass the little one. The little one must be a good man in the future and do it every day. A good deed, well, today's good deed is not to take the money from the son!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fat Manager's body leaned forward rushed forward, staggering a few steps and almost fell down, but Fat Manager was not angry and rejoiced. He bowed to the void and hurriedly walked there. In front of Shi Xuan, he returned the Ye Mingzhu to Shi Xuan, and then said: "You Na Shusheng, I made a wish in front of the Bodhisattva and do a good deed every day. If you are destined today, I will save your money. Go to that car. Carriage."
After Shi Xuan pretended to thank him, he got on the empty carriage. The Fat Manager was heartbroken at the twenty taels of silver in the back, but he was not a fool, and he reacted after a moment, staring at the carriage with awe, fear, and worship.
…………
A few months later. The south of the Yangtze River is the midsummer when the lotus leaves are infinitely green and the lotus blossoms reflect the sun.
The motorcade of Golden Wind Commercial Co., Ltd. was slowly walking on the official road. Suddenly, there was a sound of horses hoofs from the opposite side. After a while, two white horses rushed towards the commercial motorcade, surrounded by dozens of other horses.
An old man in sixties tremblingly said: "No, it won't be a robbery, right?" This is Old Master Du Yifu who has returned from visiting relatives in Xinglong Town. He loves to say things that are not strange, he is sitting now. Next to Shixuan.
A small businessman facing the honest and honest sneered: "Old Master, you are afraid you have never seen people in the rivers and lakes. This Jinfeng firm is a big firm under the drizzle building. The two young heroes who came here are Xu Tianqi, the deputy host of the drizzle building. How could his son be a robbery? They were first-rate masters at a young age. In the arena, I don’t know how many chivalrous women cherish spring dreams for them. Tsk tsk, the future is limitless. This is the piece brought by Jinfeng Firm in a hurry. The goods, I heard it was for his grandmother with great powers to celebrate her birthday!" This is Chen Ke, a local businessman in Yangzhou, who loves to show off his knowledge and knowledge.
