Sword of Coming

Chapter 252 Old Dragon City

For thousands of years in East Aquarius Continent, there has been an emperor with flowing water in the north, and an iron-clad Fu family in the far south.

The Fu family of Laolongcheng is very rich, how come they are rich? Just say that there are three magic weapons that are even worse than the Immortal Weapons, and they were all bought with money. They were then passed down from generation to generation until they were passed down to the current head of the family, Fu Qi. I heard that the Fu family has now gone to the Middle Earth. Shenzhou, I just came back, and now I have added a handful of semi-immortal soldiers. Nothing more than three? The Fu family is not that particular.

There are many interesting things about the Fu family that attract many people. For example, they never compile a family tree, and their descendants are always named randomly. The women of the Fu family have a very high status. In history, the number of heroic women who have served as city lords can be counted on one hand. The children of the Fu family can study, buy and collect books, and private libraries contain the largest number of rare and rare books in Aquarius Continent. However, even the branches of the Fu family who have left Old Dragon City have never participated in the imperial examinations and have not served any emperor or monarch. Military generals and civil servants can just lie in the mountains of gold and silver, eat and wait for death. The family heads of the past generations have never had any prejudice against them and have raised them all.

Therefore, the wealthy Fu family has produced many outstanding children who are the best at chess, calligraphy and painting, and have superb piano skills. Fu's descendants have also written the most classic recipes and published landscape travel notes that have become popular across the continent. In the vast north, The territory has bought countless hills, but they have been left empty to build the Immortal Family's mansion, leaving them abandoned.

There are too many weirdos and wonderful people in the Fu family.

But the Fu family has a family rule that is unbreakable.

Only the strongest in the family can wear the ancestral dragon robe.

The ferry where the Sheep Fat Hall ferry docks is more than 300 miles outside Laolong City. It is not a secluded place with beautiful scenery. Nearly a hundred ferries of various colors are stranded here, noisy and overcrowded. There are also dead ferries built by Mohist craftsmen. , there are also living animal ferries similar to Kun boats, which are so bizarre that Chen Ping'an was dazzled by them on the way down.

Before the ferry docked, Chen Ping'an heard a saying that an ordinary person living in the city would never be able to visit Old Dragon City in his lifetime.

Chen Ping'an was on the ferry and tried to overlook the whole view of Old Dragon City, but found that it was covered by a sea of ​​clouds, which made him a little regretful. Due to the appearance of Liu Baqiao, the old man from Sheep Fattang who was in charge of the ferry took the initiative to come to Chen Ping'an and help him solve his doubts. It turned out that those billowing clouds were a semi-immortal weapon of Old Dragon City. If you look up from the city The old man also told Chen Pingan a shocking legend.

According to legend, eight hundred years ago, nearly a thousand evil monks attacked Old Dragon City in a mighty manner. Among them were two Earth Immortals, and there were as many as ten top Qi practitioners in the Golden Core Yuanying Realm. This group of powers In order to plan the occupation of Old Dragon City, a group of tyrannical people have been operating secretly for nearly a hundred years. They cooperated internally and externally, and everything was ready. When the army pressed on, it happened to be the critical moment when the old city owner passed away and the new family owner had not yet emerged. Old Dragon City The Twelve Houses of Neifu Family have been in internal strife and their vitality has been severely damaged. Especially the two ancestors of the Fu Family, each armed with a semi-immortal weapon, fought hard, even though there were layers of spell restrictions, which greatly suppressed the semi-immortal weapon. The lethality was still enough to destroy half of the old dragon city.

The result came when a female qigong practitioner appeared out of nowhere, as if she was dozing off in the sea of ​​clouds in Old Dragon City. After she appeared, she glanced at the smoke-filled Old Dragon City under her feet, and then at the more than a thousand practitioners. The spirit warriors gathered together. After she yawned, she reached out and grabbed the sea of ​​clouds that occupied a thousand miles in radius. She condensed it into a bead in the palm of her hand and threw it into her mouth. Then she sneezed,

Hundreds of thousands of strong wind tornadoes appeared in the South China Sea, blowing away from the sea to the north. The Demon Dao Qi Practitioners who were bound to win over Old Dragon City, not to mention the low-level martial arts practitioners who were just responsible for waving the flag and shouting Nearly half of the Qi warriors, just the gods in the middle five realms, were blown to death by the strong winds. After that, the demons who escaped the disaster fled in a hurry, and were hunted down by the Fu family, who were in a stable situation, for a full hundred years. .

Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment.

The old man finally asked with a smile: "Why, Master, you don't believe me?"

Chen Pingan shook his head, of course he didn't believe it. How can anyone in the world be able to kill so many middle five qi practitioners with just one hand of magical power?

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't believe it either. Even if Qi Zhen, the Heavenly Lord of the Shen Gao Sect, the Sword Immortal and the Saint from the Fengxue Temple and Zhenwu Mountain join forces, they shouldn't have such power. The stories of later generations will exaggerate it. That’s all, but having said that, this kind of scare story has to be exaggerated like mine to be interesting.”

Saying goodbye to the old man, Chen Pingan got off the ferry. High-rise buildings were lined up one after another. The streets were incredibly wide. People were still walking shoulder to shoulder. Chen Pingan was trapped in it and had a headache. This was already the case before he entered Old Dragon City. , how to find Chenchen Pharmacy and Zheng Dafeng. In the previous chat with the old man of Sheep Fat Hall, Chen Pingan tentatively asked about Daoxuan Mountain and wanted to know if he could go there by cross-continental ferry. As a result, the old man looked blank and only said that of course he had heard of Daoxuan Mountain. It was the mountain of Daozu's second disciple. The character seal is very domineering. A Taoist leader from other worlds can actually drive such a big nail into our vast world. It is too disrespectful to take the statues and saints enshrined in the Confucian Temple seriously.

But the old man had never heard of a ferry going to Laolongcheng Ferry. The old man didn't even know the specific location of Upside Down Mountain. He only heard that it was relatively close to Nan Posu Island.

So Chen Ping'an, who got off the boat, was like a headless fly. He could only take one step at a time. He first walked the three hundred miles honestly and entered the old Dragon City. After walking and asking questions all the way, Chen Pingan found that the general direction was correct. There were no people on foot in the middle of the avenue. There were many vehicles coming and going like the wind. There were carriages that were magnificent and the horses pulling the carriages were more impressive than the others. They were handsome and strange, and some of their mounts were tigers, long snakes, and giant tortoises and cranes. Although everyone was a Qi practitioner, the streets were orderly and no one dared to run rampant.

Old man Yang, the old man surnamed Cui, and Wei Bo all suggested that after reaching the fourth realm of martial arts, they would take the Old Dragon City ferry to Xuanxuan Mountain. Therefore, before that, Chen Pingan was not too obsessed with rushing. But when Chen Pingan After landing on the boundary of Old Dragon City, I didn't know why I wanted to rush to Daoxuan Mountain as soon as possible. There was no such thing as four realms but four realms, but I lost my obsession.

Having traveled the entire Aquarius Continent from north to south, millions of miles away, Chen Pingan had never been so urgent, so he went to a place similar to an inn on the street, and Chen Pingan was unprecedentedly generous. , spent ten pieces of snow to hire a carriage, with two snow-white horses pulling the carriage. The driver was not a young man, but a young girl with average appearance, exuding a natural cheerfulness, without any trace of She was shy. After Chen Pingan got on the carriage, she suggested to her employer to sit next to her. During the drive, she would introduce the famous shops on both sides of the street to the guests, as well as the delicious food and astoundingly priced antiques. She grew up at the ferry outside Laolong City and was very familiar with calligraphy and painting. It was a worthwhile trip for Chen Ping'an to ride in her carriage!

The carriage slowly passed through the sea of ​​people. After entering the middle of the street, the girl suddenly accelerated her horse and drove quickly towards the west gate of Old Dragon City with other vehicles. Chen Pingan sat behind the girl who was driving skillfully, eating dry biscuits and not daring to drink wine. Because the sword-raising gourd had been wrapped in cotton on the back of his crossbody before he disembarked, Wei Bo had reminded him that immortals and saints of the ten realms above the Golden Elixir Yuanying could still see through his deception and recognize the sword-raising gourd. .

The girl was very cheerful and outgoing, and talked endlessly. She told Chen Pingan the historical origins of the high-rise shops, introduced the amazing mountain gods among them, what heroic words she had said and what feats she had done. Chen Pingan had traveled through the "Five Realms". In the world of "Big Demon", it was not until today that I found a place similar to my hometown town. It was like the gods of the middle and fifth realms were finally not so valuable.

Chen Ping'an asked the girl if she had ever heard of the Dust Drug Store in the city. The girl shook her head and said that she didn't know much about the scene in Old Dragon City because Old Dragon City was so big, and there were separate cities in the city and Fu City. To pass a city gate, you have to pay a high fee. As long as you are a foreigner, no matter whether you are a golden elixir, a Yuanying, an old god, or the King of Heaven, I am no exception. Therefore, she has only been to the outer city of Old Dragon City a few times, and every time she goes Once upon a time, the money bag that I finally saved up will definitely become dry.

However, if it is the Fu family and the other children of the five major surnames in Old Dragon City, not only can they cross the border again and again without spending money, but they can also ride the wind in the inner and outer cities. Of course, if they have the ability to buy an Old Dragon Cloud Pendant from the Fu family, they can also You can ride the wind with ease, except for Fujia City, which is the center of Old Dragon City. The girl driving the car asked Chen Ping'an if she could guess how much an Old Dragon Cloud Jade Pendant cost.

Chen Pingan tried his best to guess the sky-high price, saying that a thousand pieces of snow would cost him.

That's one million taels of silver.

The girl laughed heartily, turned her head and stretched out a palm towards Chen Ping'an, "Five thousand!"

Chen Pingan was afraid that there would be something wrong with the carriage, so he ignored the shock in his heart and said quickly: "Girl, drive carefully."

The girl heyed, turned around, with her back to Chen Pingan, but the girl raised her chin high and said proudly: "Master, I'm really not bragging. Even if I release my hands from the reins and close my eyes, the carriage will be safe and sound." I ran all the way to the west gate. But, so as not to worry the guests, I pretended to drive seriously."

Chen Pingan said softly: "Don't pretend."

The girl laughed loudly, "Okay, let's take it seriously, Master!"

Chen Pingan looked at the girl's back and couldn't help laughing. Then he turned to look at the bustling scene on one side of the street. The breeze was blowing on his face. It was strange. Along the way south, he was often exposed to wind and sun, but Chen Pingan's complexion was fair. After a while, he was no longer the black coal-like kiln worker he was before.

The girl seemed to have eyes on her back. Knowing that the foreign boy was looking at the street, she turned her head secretly, then quickly turned her head again, just for a brief glance, and secretly glanced at the side face of the boy with the box in his back.

The young man is not handsome, but he looks really pleasing to the eye.

The girl suddenly laughed out loud: "Sir, you are very good-looking."

Chen Ping'an was probably infected by the girl's cheerful mood, so he joked: "If you look at the girl a few more times, can you charge me less money?"

For Chen Ping'an's change, A Liang, Xu Yuanxia, ​​and Liu Baqiao must be the culprits.

The girl smiled and said, "That's not possible. From the shop to the city gate, it's nearly six hundred miles back and forth. I have to make ten trips to earn a piece of snow money."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "It's quite hard."

The girl with her back to Chen Pingan shook her head vigorously, "Sir, what's so hard about this? I've always liked running back and forth like this since I was a child. Even if I have my own shop in the future and make a lot of money, I will still drive the car myself. By going back and forth, I can get to know many, many customers, like Mr.

The girl immediately felt a little sad, "But it costs a lot of money to buy a shop. I think my life is hanging by a thread."

The girl laughed loudly: "Xuan!"

It turns out that the little girl ended up happy in the end.

Chen Pingan smiled and encouraged him, "Earn slowly, you will be richer today than yesterday, you will be richer tomorrow than today, and you will be richer the day after tomorrow than tomorrow!"

The girl suddenly became high-spirited and turned to Chen Pingan with a bright smile.

At first, because of Fu Nanhua, the young lord of Old Dragon City, Chen Ping'an actually had a very bad impression of Old Dragon City, no better than Zhengyang Mountain.

But Chen Pingan likes this girl from the bottom of his heart. Of course, it is not the kind of love between men and women, but the girl has a feeling of sunny flowers and trees. Chen Pingan is willing to deal with this kind of person, and the same is true for the young Taoist priest and the bearded man who have been separated. .

The girl continued to introduce the streets on both sides, and Chen Pingan followed her finger and looked at them one by one.

Time passes by the sound of horse hooves.

In less than an hour, Chen Pingan could already see the high outer wall of Old Dragon City, which was much higher than the walls of any pass city he had seen before.

Before stopping the horse, Chen Pingan asked: "Do you know Sun Jiashu?"

The girl turned her head in surprise, "Who?"

Chen Pingan could only repeat the name, "Sun Jiashu."

The girl couldn't help laughing and kept silent for a long time. Until the carriage stopped, the girl suddenly stood up, pointed to the street behind her, raised her arms and drew a big circle, "Sir, did you see it?"

Chen Pingan nodded.

The girl's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, "From our city gate to the ferry, all the shops in the streets for three hundred miles belong to him!"

Chen Ping'an stood on the carriage with the girl, a little confused, "Is it all Sun Jiashu's alone?"

The girl nodded vigorously, feeling extremely proud, "Yes! They are all Mr. Sun's!"

Then the girl lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "I heard from the shopkeeper that Mr. Sun is a very nice person. Although he is the best at doing business, he has the heart of a first-class Bodhisattva. Almost no one with the bad temper on the street can do that." People of all generations also talked about the good deeds of Mr. Sun and his parents. They said that there was a fire in the street in the early years and burned down two to three thousand shops of the Sun family. Mr. Sun, who had just become the head of the family at that time, not only did not pursue the case, but also I helped everyone rebuild the store with my own money, and I also heard from many women that Mr. Sun is very handsome, so he is the most kind-hearted and handsome man in our old Longcheng!"

There was still a hundred feet away from the city gate, and the road was full of vehicles like this. Then among the crowd, a young man in plain white linen walked up and walked straight to the carriage where Chen Pingan and the girl were standing. , the man has a slender figure and a jade tree facing the wind, but he does not give people the invisible pressure of standing out from the crowd. He just has a clean temperament, like a gentleman who comes from a scholarly family, gentle and elegant.

There were many pedestrians hurriedly walking in the gap between the vehicles on both sides of the road. Someone accidentally bumped into the man's shoulder and apologized quickly. The man smiled and shook his head and said it didn't matter.

The girl turned to look at Old Longcheng and murmured: "Master, how can there be such a good Master Sun in the world?"

Chen Pingan was speechless.

The young man who had been standing for a while finally raised his head with a smile, looked at the two people, and whispered to the girl: "Thank you."

The girl was confused, looked down, and asked doubtfully: "What are you thanking me for?"

The young man smiled without explaining the reason, and then looked at Chen Pingan, "You are Chen Pingan, right? I am Liu Baqiao's friend. I just received a message from his flying sword not long ago, so I came here specifically to wait for you."

Chen Ping'an jumped off the carriage. It was too rude to talk to someone from such a high place. He tentatively asked: "Are you not..."

Chen Pingan finally couldn't bear to say the name after that.

The man nodded and said, "Yes, I am Sun Jiashu."

The girl sighed and said helplessly: "Master, why do you have the same name as Master Sun? How wronged you are."

The young man smiled and said nothing.

The girl said goodbye to Chen Pingan, the carriage slowly turned around, and finally turned around and left.

Chen Ping'an followed Sun Jiashu towards the west gate of Old Dragon City and couldn't help but ask: "Sun... Mr. Sun, does the whole street belong to you?"

Sun Jiashu did not pretend to be reserved, nodded and smiled: "When our ancestors were most prosperous, the entire outer city of Old Dragon City belonged to my family. Later, Old Dragon City became bigger and bigger, and our Sun family made several large losses. Business has become less wealthy than the Fu family. But of course the Sun family is still very wealthy now, well, let’s just say I, Sun Jiashu, am rich.”

Chen Ping'an secretly glanced at Sun Jiashu. There were no ornaments hanging on the man's body, and he couldn't even see any aura of wealth.

Sun Jiashu smiled and said: "Old Dragon Fanyunpei? No one in our Sun family has it, and I am no exception. In fact, everyone wants to buy it, but the rigid rules handed down from our ancestors do not allow future generations to spend a lot of money on such small things, and I don't have it either. There is no way to change the ancestral family law, so I have to endure it, which is actually very annoying."

Chen Pingan was about to speak but stopped.

Sun Jiashu turned around and said, "Why, do you want me to return the twenty pieces of snow to you? Of course not. Friends are friends, and business is business."

Chen Ping'an scratched his head, "I wanted to ask Lao Longcheng that it's so big, do we have to go all the way to your house?"

Sun Jiashu said nothing and looked at Chen Pingan with a smile.

Chen Pingan sighed and said frankly: "Okay, if you don't pay it back, I won't pay it back."

Sun Jiashu suddenly said: "No wonder Liu Baqiao said that we would fall in love."

Chen Ping'an asked curiously: "Are you often called a money addict?"

Sun Jiashu was a little dumbfounded. He shook his head slightly and said, "Liu Baqiao said that we both like to be poor and generous."

What are you talking about? What Liu Baqiao said was incomprehensible.

Not to mention whether he is generous or not, is Sun Jiashu poor?

Sun Jiashu suddenly said: "I have a special ability, that is, I can see the money that a person has passed but not caught."

Then he stopped, turned to look at Chen Pingan, and revealed the secret, "The things you gave away are more valuable than the entire Old Dragon City."

In the inner city of Laolong City, there is a newly opened small drug store in a quiet alley. It is only the size of a palm, but the man who owns the shop actually employs seven or eight beautiful women and charming girls. They are all without exception. , all have a pair of long legs. The men have nothing to do all day long, never worrying about the business of the drug store. They are busy chatting with them and saying some dirty words about themselves, and the women look shy on the surface, but turn around and roll their eyes. .

Today, this man held a small bench again and sat at the entrance of the alley, eating melon seeds and looking at the women passing by on the street. His eyes lit up, thinking that domestic flowers were indeed not as fragrant as wild flowers.

Then today, there was another woman walking in front of the man on the street. She was dressed very flashy. As for her appearance and figure... Anyway, the man had already lost his melon seeds, picked up the bench and ran away.
