Chapter 339 Master is right!
Qitian City.
One of the seven prefectures in Tiannan Prefecture and the easternmost prefecture.
Some people say that "Qitian" means "Qi is heaven", that is, the Qi family controls everything in this city.
Qitian City is very large and has a large population. But compared to the prosperous and wealthy cities in Jiangnan Prefecture, this city built on the mountain, although majestic and imposing, lacks some bright colors and looks a bit gray.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on the Tiannan Seven Families. Tiannan Province is surrounded by mountains and has rugged terrain, which originally made it difficult to exchange what it has with the outside world. No matter who is in power, it certainly cannot compare with the land of fireworks and the land of fish and rice in Jiangnan.
Boss Zhen’s house is also here.
The wide main street of Qitian City was crowded with people, and the dust raised by carriages and horses was everywhere. Not far after entering the city, the first mansion along the street was Boss Zhen's house.
"My wife...My wife! I'm back!"
Boss Zhen started shouting as he entered the room. The doctor had already been arranged to stay at home, and as soon as the Styx Heart Grass was brought back, he quickly sent it to make medicine.
Du Lanke and Li Chu sat in the front hall, and the servants had already served them fruits and tea. Tiannan's architecture did not pay attention to any exquisite craftsmanship, but was mainly large, especially Boss Zhen's house.
Looking at the large courtyards with countless entrances and exits, Lao Du sighed sincerely: "Because there are only seven prefectures in Tiannan Prefecture that are considered large cities, the housing prices here are not cheaper than those in the Central Plains. Boss Zhen has a mansion like this on the main street, which is really luxurious."
Li Chu also nodded: "A role model for our generation."
The master and disciple were looking around with an air of having never seen the world before. Over there, Boss Zhen watched as he boiled the Styx Heart Grass into medicine and gave it to his wife, then hurried out to greet them.
Hearing what the two said, he smiled and said, "In fact, we are all an ordinary family. There is nothing special about us. At most, our house is a little bigger."
After that, he waved his hand again and called the servant: "Go to the account office and get 30,000 taels of silver notes. Ask for the bank account of Jiangnan Prefecture."
"Haha." Lao Du also smiled and thought that your behavior is too "ordinary".
He just casually took out a few tens of thousands of taels of silver notes, which was simply ordinary and confident...
After chatting for a few words, we heard the sound of jingling bells from behind and a woman in plain clothes came out.
"Madam?" Boss Zhen looked back and immediately stood up to greet her. "You just woke up, how dare you move around rashly? Go back and lie down."
"Not bad." The woman was dressed simply and looked sick, but her complexion had improved.
She said softly, "I just drank the medicine, and the pain in my chest has gone away, and my strength has returned. I've been lying in bed for so many days, it's time to get out and walk around."
Seeing that the two of them were deeply in love, Li Chu and Du Lanke tactfully stood up and said goodbye.
"It's a great pleasure to work with you this time. Next time something like this happens in your home, Boss Zhen, you can come to me directly. If there are more of you, I can give you a discount." Li Chu promised.
"Congratulations, Mr. Zhen. Now that your wife is in good health, you don't have to consider marrying a few beautiful women in their twenties to replace her. I wish you two will live happily ever after." Du Lanke also said.
Mrs. Zhen's expression suddenly changed.
Boss Zhen wanted to cry but had no tears. He could only bow and say goodbye while saying, "You two, master and disciple, are really good at talking."
…
When he walked out onto the main street, Li Chu noticed something strange.
The true energy in this city is so dense! It seems that there are thousands of cultivators releasing true energy and performing magical powers at the same time. Looking up, there are indeed many shadows passing by in the air, like a flock of migratory birds migrating south.
The children on the street looked up, pointing at the cultivators who were controlling the wind or swords, cheering and leaping for joy, feeling extremely envious.
"What happened?" Dulanke also noticed the many cultivators riding the wind to get out of the city and felt a little surprised.
However, Li Chu has never been very curious about other people's affairs. Although he didn't know why it was so lively, he had no intention of going over to take a look.
As I continued walking along the street, I suddenly heard a surprised voice coming from the side.
"Oh, Taoist Xiao Li, Taoist Du, it's so nice to see you again so soon!"
When I looked again, it was Chen Huaji again.
The three of them met and wished each other a happy new year. Du Lanke also asked, "Mr. Chen, didn't you go back to Hangzhou to celebrate the new year?"
"Don't mention it." Chen Huaji waved his hand with a gloomy face. "Last time we killed the demon in Shilun Mountain, after you went back, I stayed to help the villagers dredge the river, and was busy for most of the day. I wanted to go back and have a good New Year, but when I got back to the station, I found out that my three colleagues had taken two months of annual leave, and I was the only one left here. So this year, I can only celebrate the New Year here."
Dulanke said indignantly: "Isn't this bullying an honest person?"
"Who said it wasn't?" Chen Huaji could only smile bitterly.
"It's better to celebrate the New Year where you are, so as not to cause trouble to your family." Lao Du had to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Alas, in this case, my transfer order will not come for at least two months. If something happens in these two months, it will be completely impossible to transfer in the future..." Chen Huaji said sadly.
"Eh? I was just curious..." Dulanke asked, "What happened in Qitian City? Why are all the cultivators in the city rushing to one place?"
"This..." Chen Huaji looked at Li Chu, "Maybe it has something to do with Taoist Priest Xiao Li."
"It's related to me?" Li Chu was a little curious now.
"Didn't you mention before that you had seen the legendary Fuhuang demon body in the Horror Valley, and then he shattered the void and left."
Chen Huaji narrated: "A few days ago, a giant appeared out of nowhere in front of Wanren Mountain in Southern Xinjiang. He smashed the mountain with one punch, opened up a very wide black crack, and drilled in."
"Wanren Mountain is located between Qitian City and Chushan City. The Qi and Chu families were the first to know about this matter, and then they kept the news strictly sealed. It was not until yesterday that the reason for the incident was announced."
"Now that I think about it, the giant must be the resurrected Fuhuang demon body. The secret realm he created is probably the secret realm of the great demon Chen Fuhuang himself five hundred years ago. He died in southern Xinjiang that year, and his tomb is unknown, and the secret realm he left behind has never been discovered. The Qi and Chu families coveted the treasures that might be left in the secret realm, so they didn't make it public."
"This kind of thing is not uncommon."
Dulanke nodded. The big immortal families were well-informed. Once they discovered a secret place or treasure, they would definitely make great efforts to block the news to avoid attracting others to compete with them.
"But..." Lao Du asked again: "Since they have already blocked the news, why are they releasing it now?"
Chen Huaji said: "It's because the secret realm is extremely vast and has special rules. Even the two great families need help. There is a legend that Chen Fuhuang transformed the secret realm of the ancient Huaxu Kingdom and made it his own secret realm. So what may be discovered there are not only Chen Fuhuang's treasures, but also the secret treasures of the ancient Huaxu Kingdom."
"Right now, the Qi family is recruiting all the cultivators in Qitian City to go to the secret realm to help. Those who go don't need to do anything. As long as they show up, they will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver. Naturally, everyone is flocking to it."
"Is there such a good thing that I can just show up and not do any work?" Li Chu blinked.
"Of course it's not that I don't contribute at all. I heard that I still have to help with some small things." Chen Huaji said.
"What's the matter?" Li Chu asked.
"I don't know the details, but I heard someone say it was..." Chen Huaji scratched his head and said, "Cut it with a knife."
"A cut?"
"I'll know exactly how to chop it when I get there." Chen Huaji said with a smile, "I'm just about to go over and join in."
"Do you want to join in the fun too?" asked Lao Du.
"Hehe, as a disciple of Chaotianque, such a big thing happened in the place where I am stationed. For the safety of the people here and for the dignity of the court, I naturally have the obligation to go and investigate."
Chen Huaji said righteously.
"Stop making it up. You're just greedy for the salary..." Lao Du squinted at him, "Why are you still talking about useless things..."
"Actually..." Li Chu looked at Du Lanke, "We in Deyun Temple are not without such obligations. For the sake of the court... for the sake of the people... I think we should go and take a look."
"Master is right!"
Lao Du immediately nodded solemnly to express his strong agreement.
Chen Huaji looked at Lao Du with a confused look, sensing a slight sense of crisis. It had only been a few days since they last met, and this guy's realm had improved again. If he continued to develop like this, I'm afraid that within a few days, his position as the number one bootlicker would be lost...
