Master, you go first!
Chapter 14 Going down the mountain to Nan'an
Xu Yuhong also felt that it was more appropriate to give it to him, but would he feel comfortable giving it to him for free? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
"How much money do you have on you?"
"Silver? More than three hundred."
"Bring it here, girl and Gu Jiu are going down the mountain tomorrow."
"Okay," Qi Jingtai readily agreed, "Bring Lu Rui with you."
Everyone was happy, and Gu Jiu got another three hundred taels. Although three hundred taels is a large amount in the mortal world, it is really a fraction in the world of immortality, less than three spiritual stones.
So the Danfeng BBQ dinner started in full swing. After eating, Gu Jiu was dragged to the room by Shen Nian to talk, this time for an hour.
……
Early the next morning, Lu Rui came early.
"Hey, good morning, Senior Brother Lu." Gu Jiu said hello while washing up.
"Good morning, Junior Brother Gu," Lu Rui replied, "When will we set off?"
"Come on, just put your stomach down and leave. I'm not like you who can take Bigu Pills." Gu Jiu said with a smile.
When Gu Jiu finished breakfast, Shen Nian still didn't go out, so he went to call her. But he saw her walking out of the room with sleepy eyes, as if she hadn't woken up.
"Master, you didn't sleep well last night?"
"Ah ah ah, did the sect leader hit the heroine's fiancé when he fell to the ground..." Shen Nian went crazy.
"Um," Gu Jiu then realized that this guy was still thinking about the plot of last night's script, "Don't worry if you can beat him, he has the halo of the protagonist. Quickly pack up and set off. We are going down the mountain today."
"Ah, yes, I have to go down the mountain today, wait for me, soon." Shen Nian ran out to wash up and tidy up.
From time to time, the three of them walked down the mountain together.
Gu Jiuxian took the two of them to Huazhang Bookstore in his home market at the foot of the mountain and asked shopkeeper Liu about the specific location of the county bookstore. Then he flew away. When they were closer to the county seat, they got off the Feijian and walked into the city. Gu Jiu said to keep a low profile to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Entering the city went smoothly, and the sect's waist card was still very useful here. This is the county closest to Lingxue Mountain, called Nan'an County, with a population of only two to three hundred thousand people, which is incomparable to those big cities with a population of tens of millions. Perhaps because it is a mountainous area, transportation is not very convenient. There is only one official road leading to the southeastern state city, named Nanyang Prefecture. There are several million people there, but the distance is quite far, probably thousands of miles. It has to pass through several similar counties in the middle.
After entering the city, Shen Nian's living treasure properties were activated and he looked around.
After a while, "Wow, this is so beautiful, Gu Jiu bought this for me."
After a while, "Wow, that one is so cute. Gu Jiu bought that one for me."
Gu Jiu finally gave her ten taels of silver and asked her to buy things by herself. He started chatting with Lu Rui, "Senior Brother Lu, I usually see that you don't like to talk very much."
As soon as he heard this, Lu Rui wanted to pour out his bitterness, "It's not that I don't like talking, it's just that it's best not to talk when I'm with the master, because I'll get beaten easily. Get used to it."
"Well, is Elder Qi so strict?" Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I think he is easy to talk to."
"That's because in Dan Peak, how can you know his temper if you are not a disciple of Quan Peak." Lu Rui continued, "You will know when you have time to come to Quan Peak some other time."
"Hey, are you going to watch Elder Qi beat up his apprentice?"
"Absolutely. Almost every disciple has been beaten. After the beating, he will say that he hates iron and cannot become steel. Hey."
"Awesome. But he is very interested in you," Gu Jiu said with a hint of envy. "It won't be long before you have a thunder-attribute weapon. Wow, it sparkles and looks very cool."
"Haha, that's true," Lu Rui said helplessly, "But he was also the one who beat me the most."
Just talking and listening to Shen Nian's various comments all the time, after a while, they arrived at the bookstore that shopkeeper Liu mentioned. This bookstore is several times larger than Huazhang Bookstore and is called Guangxian Bookstore.
Gu Jiu and the shopkeeper first asked for some pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and then said that the old man in his family had recently become interested in calligraphy and asked if he had any black jade slips.
"Sir, you have come to the right place. We really have a lot of calligraphy masters' works in our store. Let me bring them to you for a look." The shopkeeper happily ran over and took out a small box. As shopkeeper Liu said, there are more than a dozen volumes. Gu Jiu took a look and saw that there were two more volumes of calligraphy written by Qian Wanjin. Hey, this guy really did wholesale calligraphy. However, there are two or three volumes in this box that are five-star. Gu Jiu was quite surprised. It seemed that the Heavenly Level Cultivation Technique was not an advanced Cultivation Technique during the Great Immortal Cultivation Era.
"One hundred and fifty taels," Zhangui Road said sincerely, "If you want them all, this is the price. It is already the lowest price."
Gu Jiu hesitated slightly.
"In this case, if you want them all, I will give you a few more unwritten jade slips so that your old man can practice his skills." The shopkeeper said flatteringly, "I believe that my old man also has excellent calligraphy."
Gu Jiu's eyes lit up. There was actually something unwritten. That was not exactly what I wanted. Gu Jiu asked: "Shopkeeper, how many blank jade slips do you have here? If you want to practice, it would be better to have more."
"There are still dozens of rolls left, but I can't give them all away, or I'll be in trouble." The shopkeeper pretended to be in pain. In fact, these things he purchased were extremely cheap. People who didn't have this need wouldn't spend a penny. He could get several volumes for just one tael of silver, and then add tens of thousands of dollars to write and draw, and make a huge profit immediately. Other bookstores don't like to sell these. It's too difficult to sell. You may not be able to sell a single volume all year round.
"Then you make a price."
"Two hundred taels, take them all."
"Deal." Gu Jiu agreed readily.
He didn't expect to get so many black jade slips. I thought it would be very hard to find. Although he was secretly happy in his heart, his face still pretended to be calm. After handing over the money, Gu Jiu and Lu Rui left the bookstore with two boxes, one large and one small, and put them into storage rings in a deserted area.
Shen Nian asked Gu Jiu from behind, "Why is it so mysterious?"
"Master has warned you to be cautious." Gu Jiu replied vigilantly, "Keep a low profile and try to cause as few troubles as possible." He added in his mind that he would keep quiet and never stand out.
Shen Nian was also amused to see him like this, but she didn't care. She finally went down the mountain once, and before she had enough fun, she took the two of them to wander around again, shopping.
Gu Jiu finished his main work and relaxed a little. He followed and looked at the county. Needless to say, although it is a small county town, it is still well-organized. Perhaps people in this era do not have food famine or war chaos, so the living environment is quite good. Although the gap between rich and poor is inevitable. But I rarely see people who are living in poverty. The whole city is a scene of prosperity.
Looking at the intricately carved buildings in the city, and the people in the city basically living in brick and tile houses, I felt that Danfeng was so casual. Hey, there was nothing I could do about it, Lao Xu was not a particular person. Gu Jiu secretly set a small goal to improve Danfeng's image and create a comfortable and civilized Danfeng new environment.
