Chapter 352 Zhao Liangchen is in love [Thanks to the leader of "Dust of Doomsday"]
Spring is gradually coming, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River is getting warmer, and the air has become more moist and fresh. The wind blows on my face, carrying the fragrance of the earth.
A distinguished guest came to Deyun Temple.
This is a very tall young man, with a heroic figure, wearing a black cloak. He has double pupils in his eyes and walks like a dragon and a tiger. When people see him, they will think of four big words.
So domineering.
Behind him, there was a tall girl dressed in black, with skin as white as snow and a cold face.
These two people were none other than Chu Xiangyu, the young master of the Tiannan Chu family, and the maid Chu Ci, who had appeared in the Huaxu Secret Realm that day.
When Lao Du came out to greet them, although he didn't recognize the two people, he knew from their demeanor that they were important customers, and his smile immediately became warm.
"I'm here to find a very handsome young Taoist priest. Is he here?" Chu Xiangyu asked.
"Yes." Du Lan Ke said with a smile, "The most handsome Taoist priest in Hangzhou is in our temple."
Chu Xiangyu looked at this enthusiastic black face with a doubtful smile.
Li Chu came to the front hall and received the most famous young man from the Seven Families of Tiannan. He had heard of the natural dominance a long time ago, but he didn't know why the other party suddenly came to him.
"We would like to ask Taoist Master Li to come out and help us." Chu Xiangyu stated his request directly without any greetings.
When Li Chu heard that it was a business, he showed an attitude of wanting to hear more details.
"Since the last time you entered the Huaxu Secret Realm, the cycle of Huaxu projection has been broken." Chu Xiangyu said: "Now the Huaxu projection no longer reincarnates in endless destruction, but has undergone strange changes. The projection is no longer once a day, but the next projection will not begin until all the people who entered the last time have exited. The cycle has become much longer."
“Another important change is that you can get rewards just by entering the projection.”
"These rewards range from low to high, and are very rich. They should all be extracted from the treasures left by the ancient Huaxu country. Among them, there are many treasures that even aristocratic families like mine value very much."
"My Chu family is in urgent need of one of the treasures, but the competition is too fierce now. All seven families in Tiannan have entered the field to recruit cultivators from all directions. Even with the power of my family, we cannot guarantee that we can obtain it. At this time, I happened to hear that Taoist Xiao Li's performance in the secret realm last time was quite magical."
Li Chu smiled slightly.
This job was similar to the last time the Qi family recruited people, it was nothing more than a substitute player. However, the reward obtained this time had to be given to the Chu family, so the price would naturally be much higher.
He did not offer a price, but just said softly: "Mr. Chu, you are too kind to praise me. It is not magical at all. It is just 'taking money from others and eliminating disasters for them'."
"Of course money is needed." Chu Xiangyu immediately understood.
"I understand that the last time the Qi family recruited cultivators, the reward you gave them was five hundred taels. On this basis, our Chu family will naturally add a little as appropriate."
As soon as he raised his hand, Chu Ci behind him handed him a thick silver note.
"We'll pay one hundred thousand taels."
He placed the banknote in front of Li Chu and spoke lightly.
"And after the matter is accomplished, if the reward that Taoist Xiao Li receives is what our Chu family needs, we can add another 100,000 taels."
“……” Li Chu was silent for a moment.
Although he really wanted to call him a tycoon in his heart, but... he really liked this way of doing business.
"Master Li, please think about it. When can you give me an answer?" Chu Xiangyu asked again.
"Don't ask me when I will reply, Mr. Chu, just tell me when we will set off." Li Chu replied indifferently.
"Master Li is really straightforward, haha." Chu Xiangyu laughed heartily, "The next opening of Huaxu Secret Realm will probably take two or three days, Master Li should prepare well."
"Yes." Li Chu nodded.
The deal was finalized, and Chu Xiangyu smiled proudly again.
"Master Xiao Li has great magical powers and is a straightforward person. He is truly a first-class wonderful person. This trip to Jiangnan is really worthwhile. No matter how much money I spend, it is worth it to make a friend like Master Xiao Li."
As a natural born tyrant, he is always proud and arrogant, but never narrow-minded. When faced with peers who are probably stronger than him, he is happy to make friends with them and will not feel jealous.
"That's right."
Li Chu had quietly put the banknote into his sleeve, and then said solemnly, "It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, the main thing is to make friends."
…
Chu Xiangyu was also a man of swift action. After the deal was done, he left Deyun Temple. Li Chu looked at his back, feeling deeply happy.
After all, I have gained a good friend for life.
At the same time, it also strengthened his determination to work hard to kill monsters and level up.
Strengthening your strength is not only a way to save your life, but also a way to get rich.
When he thought about how every time he killed an evil spirit, what flowed into his body was not just experience points, but gold bars, silver bills, copper coins, and real estate...
His heart couldn't help but become restless again.
I couldn't wait for it to get dark so that I could go to Shilipo and chop down a few lantern monsters to liven up the fun.
I went to the backyard and told the master what had just happened.
"The ancient country of Huaxu..." Yu Qian'an stroked his beard, "It's no wonder that the seven families of Tiannan are so excited about the huge treasures left behind before the country was destroyed. Many of the things in it may be difficult to find in recent times."
"Chu Xiangyu of the Chu family is also a character. Among the younger generations of the seven Tiannan families, he is the most talented and magnanimous. If the Chu family falls into his hands in the future, it may not be a blessing or a curse for the Heluo Dynasty." Li Maoqing habitually thought of the disputes in the court.
"Hey, Imperial Master, you don't have to worry too much." Yu Qian'an smiled lightly.
"Even if he can lead the seven families of Tiannan to become stronger, so what? The general trend of the world... Sometimes you are on top, sometimes I am on top, it's all normal, the important thing is that everyone should be happy. Even if you are more powerful, you can't kick me down, otherwise no one will be happy."
"Hmm..." Li Maoqing frowned, "What Master Yu said does make some sense, but it sounds weird..."
Wanli Feisha, who was squatting nearby, suddenly raised his head and said, "Can't you be happy alone?"
"You are still young..." Lao Du also sighed and said, "You will understand when you are older. How can a person be happy? It just makes himself less sad..."
"There's no need to be so pessimistic." Yu Qian'an patted the old disciple's shoulder, "If two people who are forced together are not compatible, it's better for them to be happy alone."
Lao Du's eyes fluttered: "I can't even imagine how happy Master is."
"No..." Li Maoqing was suddenly a little dazed, "What were we talking about just now?"
"You mean Li Chu is going to the Huaxu Secret Realm?" Yu Qian'an changed the subject and suddenly seemed to remember something. He raised his eyes and said, "Xiaoyue'er and her classmates just happened to have a few days of spring break recently. Why don't you take her with you when you go to the secret realm this time?"
"this……"
Li Chu hesitated.
Although past experience has proven that taking the little koi to the secret realm often brings unexpected surprises, but... isn't that a bit too cruel? From Jiang Shouyin in the Fuyuan Secret Realm at the beginning to many people in the Hulu Cave Heaven... anyone who has competed with the little koi will often fall into a deep confusion.
The most recent one is the fox girl who goes to school with the little koi. Recently, Li Chu often sees her thinking about philosophical problems in the temple.
For example, how should we face the injustice of fate? What is the meaning of hard work? Is the true meaning of life a koi? Is the end of the universe a river?
etc……
"This child is always surrounded by people when she goes out recently, which makes her feel bad. Take her out for a walk to relax." Yu Qian'an is very concerned about the physical and mental health of the little koi.
The old saying emphasizes that the older generation is close to each other, and this is reflected quite directly in the old Taoist priest. He has always been more concerned about the younger ones in the temple, such as Little Koi, Little Fat Dragon, Dulanke...
Of course, the first two are just young. If we talk about seniority seriously, only Lao Du is the real grandson...
In the backyard, people were chatting with each other. The breeze blew and the leaves of the old locust tree fell.
As the temple became more lively, this kind of tea party became a daily norm. Even if one or two people were missing, it could still be held.
Li Chu rarely spoke, just listened quietly there.
After a while, another person came to the front yard. Lao Du went out to greet him and then came back to report. The person who came was a young man with a strange appearance, who claimed to be Li Chu's friend.
A strange face immediately appeared in Li Chu's mind.
When I went out to take a look, it was indeed Zhao Liangchen.
…
"It's been a while since we last met. I hope you are well, Taoist Li." Zhao Liangchen said with a smile.
"Brother Zhao too." Li Chu responded politely.
The two men were old acquaintances, so there was no need for too much greeting. Zhao Liangchen directly stated his purpose.
"There were several exorcism and exploration missions before the New Year, and I wanted to find Taoist Xiao Li to help me, but I came at an unfortunate time because you were in Shenluo City. Recently, there is another way to make money."
Zhao Liangchen said, "I heard that the Seven Clan of Tiannan have been developing a secret realm recently, and they need a lot of manpower. So they are aggressively recruiting cultivators, above the Divine Integration Realm and below the Desolation Realm, and anyone who shows up will be paid several hundred taels. If you can get some rewards from the secret realm, the reward will be even greater."
"Several of my senior brothers have already tried it, and they all said it was a good opportunity and could be a training ground. I was planning to go and take a look in a couple of days, and I just happened to hear that you, Taoist Xiao Li, were back, so I thought of bringing you along, hehe."
He smiled very simply.
But Old Du standing by looked at his handsome face from all angles and all he saw were the three clear words "clinging to someone powerful".
Indeed, given the situation in Huaxu Secret Realm, if you find a big thigh to go in with you, if you are lucky, you can directly lie down in the third level. Now, no matter what, you can get some rewards, why not? And now, can you find a thigh thicker than Li Chu? Zhao Liangchen couldn't think of it for a while.
"I have already accepted the Chu family's invitation."
Li Chu did not hide anything and directly told Chu Xiangyu that he had come to ask for help.
"I see..." Zhao Liangchen nodded after hearing this, "With Taoist Xiao Li's strength, no matter which family invites you, it can be said to be a sure thing."
"In that case, when Taoist Xiao Li sets out for Southern Xinjiang..." He bowed heavily, "Please be sure to take me with you!"
"no problem."
Anyway, as for the supporting role, it doesn't matter whether you bring one or two. Li Chu doesn't mind bringing someone else into the secret realm in addition to Lao Du.
"Thank you." Zhao Liangchen thanked him. "If I'm lucky this time, I can earn a few thousand taels of silver. With the money I saved before, I can buy a house in Hangzhou!"
Li Chu had learned before that although he was a relative of the wealthy Zhao family, he was a collateral branch after all, and his family was not rich. If he did not have a talent for cultivation, he would have been short, poor and ugly.
It is also an inspirational example of changing one's destiny through spiritual practice.
but……
Li Chu was still a little puzzled. "Brother Zhao, you were so focused on practicing Taoism before that you didn't seem to care much about these things. Why is it that now..."
Why are you the same as me now? "Yes." Zhao Liangchen did not shy away from it. He looked up and said with emotion, "Back then, I was also a playboy in Hangzhou. I devoted myself to cultivation and slaying demons. I thought I would live a life of solitude and freedom for the rest of my life."
"I never thought that on a certain day of a certain year and month, I was like being blinded by peach blossoms, like being knocked down by youth. My restless young heart suddenly... broke through the ground."
When he said this, he suddenly remembered something, and a smile appeared on his ugly face.
Li Chu and Du Lanke looked at him calmly, with question marks on their faces.
Zhao Liangchen seemed to notice the indifference of the two. He smiled awkwardly, lowered his head and began to speak in human language: "It's just...that...I'm in love."
"Pfft." This time, Lao Du's expression was completely replaced by shock.
As calm as Li Chu was, his pupils were also vibrating wildly.
"This is really unexpected... good news." Li Chu said slowly, "Congratulations, Brother Zhao."
"Hehe, I'm not as good as you, Taoist Xiao Li. You are so handsome by nature, and girls all like you when they see you." Zhao Liangchen looked into the distance again and continued.
"It's not easy to have someone who loves me, so I must cherish him."
"Ever since I met her, I've been thinking about working hard for our future. It was then that I realized how unreliable I was before and how extravagant I was with my money." Zhao Liangchen continued to talk to himself, "So from now on I must work hard to make money, save a lot of money, buy a house as soon as possible, and it must be close to the school. I must buy a carriage and drive it out to show my face. Thinking of this, I have the energy to do anything."
"Brother Zhao, there's no need to envy others." Li Chu said, "No matter what your appearance is, it's a blessing to meet a good match. You know how to cherish it because you are insightful."
"Master, what you said makes sense." Lao Du also chimed in, encouraging him, "Young man, you are still so young, so you don't have to be too stressed. You will have money, a car, and a house."
"I'm not young anymore." Zhao Liangchen looked up and said.
"I'm already in my twenties. If I don't work hard to get married, I'll be in my thirties in a blink of an eye. Time is passing faster and faster, and I'll be in my forties in a blink of an eye. What if I'm poor, ugly, and old by the time I'm in my forties? Even if I'm a cultivator, who would be willing to marry me? When that day comes, what's the point of living? What if my cultivation level is no longer high? What's the difference between that and being dead?"
"Do you think I can be stress-free?" Zhao Liangchen smiled as he spoke. "Fortunately, I am lucky. Now I have met someone who can enlighten me and help me avoid falling into that terrible life... Eh? Taoist priest, why are you crying?"
"I'm fine." Lao Du burst into tears and shook his head, "I just remembered some terrible things..."
"Take it easy..." Zhao Liangchen smiled and patted his shoulder.
"As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy."
Thanks to the leader of "Dust of Doom", thanks to Brother Dust, I owe 47+1=48 more chapters. (End of this chapter)
