Lord, I'm floating

Chapter 240 There is no lack of noise in the world

On Yue Street beside Qiyue City, one of the few remaining old streets, a new calligraphy and painting shop "Qingfengxuan" has opened.

The calligraphy and paintings in the shop are all made by the shop owner, and their styles vary from wild and uninhibited to neat and elegant. Some calligraphy is scrawled. They are not very outstanding in the eyes of experts. They do not buy famous calligraphers or calligraphers in the city to sell them door-to-door. calligraphy and painting.

Therefore, the business is deserted and there are only a few people around.

However, the young shop owner and his wife lived a leisurely life. They often spent half a day strolling hand in hand on the street, buying novelty items and tasting street food and snacks. They only opened their doors in the afternoon to do business, writing and drawing, very casually.

A gangster man on the street came to collect his first payment, but the female shopkeeper in Qingqun gave him away with three copper coins.

A group of aggressive men came that day. Under the watchful eyes of a crowd of whispering neighbors watching the excitement, one by one fell from the shop onto the street, shouting "Ouch", with a bruised nose and swollen face, and could no longer get up.

The young and pretty female shopkeeper stood at the door and said with a smile: "You broke Qingfengxuan's calligraphy and paintings. Each of you will be charged one tael of silver for the damage. If you leave it here, if you don't pay, don't even think about leaving. Just stay on the street." Lie down."

"You little bitch..."

The vicious man at the head cursed in dissatisfaction.

"Pa", the man seemed to have been kicked in the chin. He flipped up from the ground into the air, and then fell hard to the stone ground. Five teeth were knocked out in his mouth, blood was flowing, and he could no longer speak. .

Xu'er put his hands on his waist and still stood there, with a calm expression on his face, and said: "Swear me five words, give me an extra five taels of silver. If you dare to try it without paying, I will steal your home."

He waved his hand away.

"It's all gone, it's all gone. Whoever wants to watch the fun can pay, one or two silver coins each. Children and old men are innocent."

"Wow!", all the onlookers on the street ran away. Who could see the excitement of asking for money? Everyone knows that the Green Wolf Gang has kicked the iron plate this time and encountered a tough opponent. It is likely that they are receiving money from the gods who come and go. superior.

There is no shortage of gods and goddesses in Qiyue City, so it is no surprise.

There was a commotion here, and not even a single person showed up in the tallest loft in the middle of the city.

Chen Mou was reading a book and drinking tea leisurely in the stall inside the shop. He ignored Xu'er's lecture about the scoundrels. There was smoke and odor in the world, and there was also stench and filth. Just brush it away. There was no need to swallow it.

In less than an hour, an old man from the gang came forward, brought a fine of silver, nodded and bowed and said many words of apology.

The officials in the city couldn't find any past or background about Qingfengxuan and the two of them. Apart from their names, they were cleaner than paper. This was terrible.

Xu'er waved her hand in disinterest, and the men lying on the ground unable to move got up and ran very fast one by one.

After this incident, Qingfengxuan's business has improved somewhat.

Wealthy men and wealthy people, as well as officials in the city who have plenty of money, come to admire the shopkeeper's masterpieces. Although the price of ten taels of silver per foot is comparable to the masterpieces, some people pay to buy them. Hanging them in their homes may be a way to ward off evil spirits. What about attracting wealth?

But it was of no use. The house that should have been flooded and burned was still burned, and the official title that should have been abandoned was not preserved.

A year has passed, and Qingfengxuan shop has returned to a deserted situation. Except for the occasional outsider who wanders in, he comes out empty-handed.

Xu'er put down the brush, stretched, and said, "Master, I went out to the city today to play. The autumn air is crisp and the wild animals are fat. Let's hunt two hares and roast them."

When she entered the world this time, she realized that she could no longer interact with ordinary people as before.

Perhaps it was due to her improvement in cultivation and change in her state of mind. Standing at such a high place, she could see through other people's little schemes and sneaky thoughts at a glance, without having to use her magical power at all. This feeling made her feel that the world was boring and full of filth.

The young master said that there is no need to force yourself. If you don’t want to date, then don’t date.Except for occasionally going to watch the moon and chatting with two old sisters about their daily lives, she spent a year in this city just playing with a few nearby children and not making any friends. With her lively temperament, she was considered a good person. A miracle.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go out and play today."

Chen Mou smiled and put down the book and walked outside the screen.

A tall figure crossed the threshold and walked into the shop. He pulled his right hand as if no one was watching and shouted: "Shopkeeper, I have rounded all the calligraphy and paintings in your shop."

Chen Mou came out, smiled and held his hands: "Congratulations, Brother Gu, when did you get out of seclusion? First of all, the wine beads are really gone. If you want the calligraphy and painting, just take them."

The visitor was Gu Zong, who had been in seclusion for many years. He was wearing a black Taoist robe and carrying a large wine gourd around his waist.

Gu Zong smiled at Xu'er who came out from behind to salute: "Xu'er is getting more and more energetic and beautiful. Come on, this is a gift from my elder brother. Just keep it. Xu'er, help my elder brother clean up a random room in the backyard, and the woodshed as well." OK, I’ll stay a little longer.”

Xu'er accepted the gift with a smile, a string of strange colorful shells shining with precious light, which was refined into a protective treasure by Senior Brother Gu. She thanked him and invited Senior Brother Gu to come to the back to drink tea.

Chen Mou had no choice but to take out a pill bottle from his sleeve. Before he could hand it out, the disrespectful Senior Brother Gu laughed and snatched it away.

"The last two Yaojiang wine beads are really gone. As you know, I can't keep these things at all. I'm not good at wine, so I tasted one myself."

"Okay, Xu'er, there's no need to prepare the room, I'll leave later."

Gu Zong was able to extract two wine beads. Filled with joy, he opened the cork of the bottle, sniffed the fragrance of the overflowing wine, and said intoxicatedly: "Yaomin wine beads that are at least a thousand years old are the best in the world. You can only meet them but cannot ask for them. God is waiting for you." I’m not thin.”

Chen Mou curled his lips, it was his fault for killing him, what does it have to do with God?

Gu Zong put away the bottle and said with a smile: "You are a good boy, you can do a lot of things. I am still very discerning back then, haha, even I admire myself so much."

After he advanced to Nascent Soul, he naturally knew his junior brother's other identity.

But he doesn't care. What he cares about is his character and whether he can get along with him. Can he drink wine instead of being a heir to the world?
Xu'er said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, you have a sharp eye for pearls, and no one in the sect is better than you."

"Compared to Senior Brother, it's still slightly inferior."

Gu Zong said humbly that his respect for his senior brother came from the bottom of his heart.

Drinking wine as tea, we sat and talked about Taoism.

Gu Zong stayed in the secular world for a very long time. He imparted some insights and experiences, and by the time it got dark, he had drifted away.

He has a restless temper. Now that he is promoted to Nascent Soul, he will of course have to travel far and wide.

Life continued to live peacefully. Occasionally, monks came into the shop to take a look. When they saw that the woman who was the shopkeeper had no discernible cultivation, she would come quietly, leave quietly, or buy a few calligraphy and paintings that didn't look good.

Slowly, Chen Mou was able to integrate into the atmosphere of ordinary people again. He changed out of his Taoist robes, put down his books and brushes, and went in and out of the market in ordinary clothes.

There is never a shortage of noise in the world.
