I use Tiangang and Earth to prove my immortality

Chapter 76 Mortal Wine Shop
The Daqian Dynasty was divided into three states and nine counties.

Zhongzhou, Qingzhou, Linzhou.

Zhongzhou is the center of Daqian and the capital of the country.

Juntian City is far away from Chang'an, the capital of the country, and is connected to more than ten cities. It is also an important city connecting the north.

There are many golden elixir masters in the city, and there are even many monks in the Yuanshi Pearl Realm. Rumors seem to have Yin God-level powers.

The Tongtian River runs through the entire Daqian River and is endless. It flows downstream from Beijun to Juntian City.

at the ferry.

Gu Changsheng has put on a new face, and his face has changed again, adding a little more vicissitudes of time.

Following a caravan, they left the ferry and headed for Juntian City.

The bustling streets, the passing pedestrians, the many shops, and the goods for sale all have a certain aura to them.

The rich spiritual energy far exceeds that of Yan Beicheng.

"Master Gu, Juntian City has arrived. If you have good wine in the future, you will have to sell it to us." The caravan man said with a smile.

"When I find a place to stay and open a wine shop, everyone should come and support me."

Gu Changsheng said with a smile and left the caravan.

He sold some wine to the caravan in exchange for silver.

Some spiritual wine was also sold. Although it was diluted, it was extremely precious to these low-level monks.

Walking alone in the city, he inquired about the situation in the city.

There are many monks in Juntian City, and even more mortals.

In a land of wealth, there are also poor people.

There is even a slum in Dongcheng District, where the people do not have enough to eat, but they cannot have meat for three meals.

There are groups of dilapidated wooden houses and drafty small buildings.

Gu Changsheng even saw a family of five or six people crowded into a dilapidated wooden house.

He walked through the ghetto, paying attention to the situation.

Most of them are coolies, with men working and women doing needlework, barely surviving.

A group of people gathered in front of them, shouting, cursing and crying.

"Why did you bring him back again?"

"If you didn't agree to let him go to work, what's the use of bringing him back?"

There were angry curses, the woman sobbed and cried, and the boy cried in terror.

The crowd around him all sighed. No one criticized him, but instead advised him: "Er son, just listen to your father and sell yourself to the Zhang family, and you can still survive."

"Yes, you keep the money from selling yourself. This is for your survival, not for selling you to make money."

One by one, men and women spoke out to persuade each other.

"Everyone, what happened?" Gu Changsheng walked over and asked.

The people around him glanced at him and saw that Gu Changsheng's clothes were not luxurious, just ordinary clothes.

A woman said: "The five children of the Lin family can no longer be fed. The third child is really disobedient. I tried to find a way for him to survive, but he ran back halfway."

"What way to survive?" Gu Changsheng asked.

"Sold to the Zhang family as a servant, even though I lose my freedom, I still have three meals of food and clothing. Isn't it better than starving and freezing here?" the woman said.

Gu Changsheng looked at the young man, who was about thirteen or fourteen years old. His face was sallow and thin, and his eyes were red and swollen from crying.

"If you don't have enough to eat, selling yourself into slavery is indeed a way out." Gu Changsheng said calmly: "But we also need to find a good family. Could it be that the Zhang family is not good?"

He didn't criticize anything, that's how the world is.

He couldn't afford to raise the children he gave birth to, so he sold himself into slavery. Although he lost his freedom, he was able to survive.

If you are lucky, you can even get a maid to continue the family line.

"The Zhang family is a good family. Mr. Zhang never withholds wages from his wages. This guy is just a bastard. He says he has to work to support his younger brothers and sisters."

The woman's tone was a bit contemptuous: "His small body has been exhausted after working for half a month. The wages he earned are not enough to recuperate, so he still has to go."

Gu Changsheng frowned slightly and listened to the woman's story.

Young people have filial piety, but unfortunately, work requires more than just intention. It is very tiring, and even a burly man cannot bear it.

Even if he was injured, he still chose to go to work and refused to recuperate.

With no other option, the family thought of selling him. Although he was a slave, it was better than working as a slave.

"Dad, I work. Don't sell me. All the money I make will be given to you and my mother."

The young man knelt on the ground and begged.

The people around him looked intolerable, but they still persuaded the young man that selling himself would be a good way out for him.

"Listen to dad, go to the Zhang family and work as a boy. If you have a chance in the future, you can come back and visit."

Lin's father had tears in his eyes: "Father is incompetent, but you have to live, and so do your younger brothers and sisters."

Gu Changsheng sighed softly and couldn't help but said: "Let him come with me."

"you?"

The people around him were stunned, and the woman also looked at him in surprise.

Father Lin and the young man were also stunned: "My lord, do you want to buy a slave?"

"Don't buy, hire." Gu Changsheng said calmly: "I came to Juntian City and planned to open a wine shop nearby. Let him learn winemaking from me and work as a waiter. This is also a way out."

"Why don't you kowtow to the noble man?" Lin's father looked overjoyed and patted the young man's head.

The young man kowtowed quickly: "Little Lin San, thank you, noble man, thank you, noble man."

"Get up." Gu Changsheng said: "How much money does your father earn per month for working?"

"Three cents of silver." Lin San said respectfully, "I don't dare to ask for so much wages. As long as I have one cent of silver, I will be obedient. I just ask that I be allowed to visit my parents every month."

"Then it's only one penny. Go and have a look nearby. There are shops selling them. It doesn't need to be big. A small wine shop will do."

Gu Changsheng ordered: "You are allowed to come back one day every month."

"Thank you, Master." Lin San was overjoyed, kowtowed again, and said respectfully: "Master, I know a wine shop that is for sale. It's a bit shabby, but the price is right."

"Okay." Gu Changsheng nodded and looked at the two of them: "Boy, then Lin San will come with me. Although he won't be rich, he can still make a living."

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Father Lin and Mother Lin said gratefully.

The onlookers also dispersed one after another.

A shabby little restaurant is not considered a wealthy family, and they have no intention of sending their children away in a hurry.

Gu Changsheng followed Lin San to the street outside the civilian area. There were some shops here, and in the corner was a wine shop that had closed.

It is in a remote location and can be said to be the worst-located store, but it has a small courtyard where you can brew wine in the backyard.

"Sir, the location here is a bit bad. If you are not satisfied, I know a small one, but it is more expensive." Lin San said respectfully.

"This is it. Do you know the store?" Gu Changsheng asked.

"Sir, wait a moment, I'll have someone notify the store."

Lin San didn't go far. He entered a nearby shop and asked for help.

After a while, an old woman left in a hurry.

Gu Changsheng looked at the wine shop. Lin San came back and bowed: "Master, we have sent someone to call. The master will be here in about a quarter of an hour."

"Okay, call me shopkeeper from now on." Gu Changsheng said.

"Yes, from the shopkeeper," Lin Sandao said.In less than a quarter of an hour, an old man with half-white hair came, with a happy face: "Master, Li Dashan, are you the one who wants to buy this wine shop?"

"What's the price?" Gu Changsheng nodded and asked.

"Do you want to keep the brewing equipment inside?" Li Dashan asked.

"Stay." Gu Changsheng said.

Li Dashan thought for a while and said, "Just give me 30 taels of silver."

"30 taels?" Lin San's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Master Li, are you bullying my shopkeeper? How can you have any business in this shabby wine shop that is worth 30 taels of silver?"

For 30 years, his father did not eat or drink, and it took him more than eight years to earn. He had never seen so much money.

Li Dashan sighed: "You guys don't know how to talk nonsense. The business of my store is not good, but there is a small courtyard behind it. We are Juntian City, not a remote town."

"Then 30 taels." Gu Changsheng said calmly.

"Shopkeeper, this is too expensive." Lin San quickly advised: "No one bought this guy for 20 taels of silver before."

Li Dashan's face turned dark: "You kid, don't talk nonsense..."

"Okay, get the contract and sign it." Gu Changsheng said calmly.

"I brought it, let's sign the contract." Li Dashan was afraid that he would refuse, so he signed the contract on the spot and gave him the key to the store.

Gu Changsheng opened the shop and walked in. Lin San behind him was still blaming himself for not lowering the price, which made him suffer a loss.

The wine shop is very small, with three tables, a counter, a wine cabinet, and nothing else.

The brewing equipment at the back is quite complete and is worth some money.

It was just that the roof was a little dilapidated and there were a few holes. Lin San was so angry that he wanted to go to Li Dashan to settle the score.

"Okay, let's clean it up. I'll go inside and take a look."

Gu Changsheng said lightly.

"Yes, from the shopkeeper." Lin San said respectfully.

Lin San started to get busy, and Gu Changsheng came to the backyard. There were two small bedrooms, a kitchen, and a latrine in the backyard.

Gu Changsheng opened the storage bag and took out a jar of spirits, which was the ordinary spirit he brewed in Yanbeicheng.

During the induction, Lin San's parents also came, along with three children, the youngest of whom was six years old.

The family is busy cleaning the shop.

Gu Changsheng sighed, they are a simple family.

After cleaning, Lin San's parents took their children and left in a hurry, for fear that he would find out.

Gu Changsheng came out with two jars of wine. The shop was very clean. He took out a money bag and put it on the table: "Tomorrow, I will buy some food and make wine."

Lin San trembled and said hurriedly: "Shopkeeper, one tael of silver is all it takes. When the food comes, you can settle the whole payment. You don't need to bring the money to buy it directly."

Gu Changsheng changed the subject and asked, "Have your parents been here?"

"Shopkeeper, my parents helped clean the restaurant and didn't steal anything from you." Lin San was startled and quickly explained.

"I know, you don't need to be nervous." Gu Changsheng said calmly: "Since you have done the work, thank you. You can buy some meat later and send it to your parents."

"No, no need." Lin San waved his hand quickly.

"Do as I say. There are two rooms in the backyard, one for you and one for me. Later you will bring out the wine in the room and put it on display." Gu Changsheng said.

"Is there wine in the room?"

Lin San hurried to the backyard and looked at the dozens of jars of wine in the room. Although he was surprised, he quickly recovered.

Although he is not a monk, he knows that monks have storage bags to store items.

Lin San was so tired that he was covered in sweat after carrying more than a dozen jars of wine.

"Your body is a bit weak." Gu Changsheng said lightly.

"After the little one was injured at work, his health has deteriorated a lot. Shopkeeper, don't worry, I won't delay your business." Lin San promised hurriedly, fearing that Gu Changsheng would drive him away.

Gu Changsheng smiled and took out a bowl of wine: "Drink."

Lin San was stunned for a moment, not daring to say: "This, this is from the tavern..."

"If you are told to drink, just drink." Gu Changsheng said calmly.

Lin San then picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking it in one breath, Li San's face turned red. He felt warm all over and his body seemed to have endless energy: "Shopkeeper, this... thank you for treating me. Shopkeeper, are you a monk?"

"Yes." Gu Changsheng nodded.

Lin San's eyes were also a little unusual, full of passion and reverence.

"Do you want to practice?" Gu Changsheng asked.

"I think about it, but I know it's impossible." Lin San said sincerely: "My father once took me to have my bones tested, and my qualifications were very poor. I'm just waiting for my younger brother and sister to test their bones. If we can produce a monk, our family will be the best." Developed.”

Gu Changsheng sighed slightly: "You have so many children in your family, but you just want to be a monk?"

"Everyone thinks so," Lin Sandao said, "If a child is able to cultivate and succeeds in cultivation, he can move out and live a good life."

"What if we never come out?" Gu Changsheng asked.

“Just like me, if you can’t survive, you will be sold to a wealthy family as a slave, and if you can survive, you will support yourself.

Some families sell their children and keep the money themselves. My parents are very good, but I don’t want to be a slave in the Zhang family. "

Lin Sandao.

"Is the Zhang family okay?" Gu Changsheng asked.

"It's my fault." Lin San lowered his head: "I have a weak body, I can't sell for much money, and I can't do too heavy a job. I ruined other people's food and was kicked out."

"Then why are you following me?"

"Following the shopkeeper is a job. As much work as I can do, the shopkeeper pays me as much as I want, as long as I don't starve to death.

If you still have wages, I will send them to your family to make your younger brothers and sisters feel better. "

Lin Sandao.

"You are very good. I am not a great monk, but I do know some breathing methods."

Gu Changsheng said: "I will teach you a set of breathing techniques that can relieve your fatigue and fatigue. You can also teach them to your parents, younger brothers and sisters."

Lin San knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you so much, shopkeeper. Thank you so much, shopkeeper. I will always remember the shopkeeper's great kindness."

"Okay, go order food, then buy meat to visit your parents, and then hire someone to make a plaque and repair the wine shop." Gu Changsheng said: "You can tell me how much it will cost."

"Shopkeeper, what's the name of our wine shop?" Lin San asked.

"Fanchen Liquor." Gu Changsheng said calmly: "By the way, my name is Gu Qingfeng, go and get busy."

Gu Changsheng gave him two taels of silver and turned back to the backyard.

Leaving everything to Lin San, Gu Changsheng left and began to wander around the city.

When he arrived, the place where Taoist Qingling found Wanling Skin was a dilapidated courtyard that had long been uninhabited.

"How could Senior Brother Qingfeng come to Juntian City in the first place? Wanlingpi is here, but no one is there."

Gu Changsheng frowned slightly: "It's been so long, I can only take time to take a look. If senior brother is still alive and still in the city, we will have a chance to see him again."

If Taoist Qingfeng had been killed, he would not be found.

We can only take this matter slowly and wait to see if there will be any clues.

"Let Liu Qingxuan worry about the follow-up matters of Evergreen Temple. Su Liuyun is already well. I have also completed my explanation and am worthy of the elder..."
