Fengshen Wendaoxing

Chapter 23 Settle down

The two masters and apprentices set off from the south gate and entered Chaoge, the largest city in the world today.

This is the second time for Lu Chuan to come to Chaoge, and he doesn't have to hurry, so he can have a good look at this majestic city.

Chaoge is huge.

According to his secret estimate, the high city wall is at least eighteen meters high, which is about six feet in ancient units of measurement.

Because the city is so big, nine holes in the shape of one big and two small are opened in each direction of the city as gates for people to enter and exit.

High-ranking officials and nobles walk in the middle, and ordinary people walk on both sides.

After the sergeant checked Lu Chuan's small baggage in front of the city gate, the two of them were put into the city.

Among the baggage, only the two coarse clothes that Lu Chuan secretly brought out when he decided to run away from home were not considered valuable or luxurious.

The opening of the city gate is very deep, it is a bit dark to walk in, and the exit is a small glowing hole in front.

Walking this distance is like going through a small tunnel, so maybe this shows how strong the city's walls really are.

Before entering the city, Lu Chuan's ears suddenly became lively, and various yelling and selling sounds came into his ears.

Lu Chuan couldn't help raising his head, and then glanced at the top of the most luxurious palace located in the center of Chaoge City.

Still he couldn't see anything.

Without Shen Gongbao's "vision" sharing, he could neither see the mysterious bird of national fortune of the Yin Shang Dynasty, nor the strange red light.

But this time, Shen Gongbao didn't need to tell him that Lu Chuan knew who the demon light in the palace was, and there was no one else except the nine-tailed fox possessed by Daji.

But at this time, Lu Chuan was a little puzzled, but it was another matter.

Hearing what Shen Gongbao said just now, the relationship between him and brother Yuxu is not to say very good, but at least it is normal.

On the day of Jiang Ziya's marriage, he traveled thousands of miles to congratulate him and send congratulatory gifts, and today he was angry because King Zhou burned the sword presented by Yun Zhongzi.

In addition, listening to what he said, he seemed to know that the Great Tribulation of Conferred Gods was coming.

Since he also knew about Fengshenjie, why would he turn his back on everyone in Chanjiao and be at odds with Jiang Ziya in the future?

"strangeness!"

Lu Chuan muttered secretly, and quickly followed Shen Gongbao's footsteps.

Entertainment in this world is extremely scarce, and there are no electronic products, and people's work and rest completely follow the eight characters of "work at sunrise and rest at sunset".

I go to bed early every night, so I naturally wake up early this morning.

"Master, where are we going?"

After entering the city, Lu Chuandong looked around, but Shen Gongbao didn't look at them, he just strode forward.

"Have a meal!"

"So Master, are you hungry?" Lu Chuan said with a smile.

"As a teacher, you have already obtained the Tao, and you don't eat grains.?"

After Shen Gongbao finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Chuan's stomach, "Aren't you hungry?"

Lu Chuan nodded quickly: "Hungry!"

"Then come with me."

Shen Gongbao strode forward, Lu Chuan hurriedly followed, and soon, the two came to a restaurant.

There are no tables in the restaurant, they are all long tables, with seven or eight customers kneeling on a few cushions, most of the seats are still vacant.

"Daozhang, what do you want to eat?"

The clerk in the store immediately greeted him with a smile, looked at the Taoist robe on Shen Gongbao and said.

Lu Chuan couldn't help swallowing as he looked at the plates of meat on the tables of other diners.

Shen Gongbao said: "Two bowls of morning tea, four steamed buns, and two dishes of vegetarian food."

As he spoke, he sat down on a desk.

"Okay, Daoist, wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

The man turned and went.

Lu Chuan hurriedly said: "Master, what are you talking about, eating fast?"

"Cultivating the Tao not only cultivates the body, but also cultivates the mind. If you can't even overcome the desire to talk, what else is there to cultivate?"

Shen Gongbao said indifferently: "Eating vegetarian food at the beginning of practice can help you to purify your mind, cut off some complicated thoughts, and practice better, understand?"

Lu Chuan said: "Understood."

I remember that Jiang Ziya's meal in the Song Mansion was vegetarian food, and he didn't eat what he didn't eat under the sect of Chanjiao, and basically all he ate was vegetarian.

Since it is good for cultivation, if he can not eat meat, then he will not eat it. It seems that he will become a vegetarian in the future. If he can't even do this, then he won't even mention cultivating Taoism and becoming a fairy.

After eating, Shen Gongbao got up and went to the counter, and asked, "Shopkeeper, may I ask if there is any house for sale near here?"

"The house?"

The shopkeeper was startled for a while, thought for a while, and said: "Master Dao, there is no house for sale, but there is a shop nearby that can't continue to open, and it is about to be sold."

"where?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's not far from here, just go out and turn left to the seventh room."

"Thank you." Shen Gongbao said again: "In addition, how much is the meal cost? If you have trouble, you can calculate it, and the poor will settle the bill again!"

The shopkeeper glanced at him and said with a smile: "Steamed buns cost two cents, Vegetarian dishes cost two cents a dish, morning tea costs one cup, total eight cents."

Shen Gongbao nodded, took out eight copper coins from his sleeve and put them on the counter.

Then he turned around and said to Lu Chuan, "Come find me on the left after you finish eating."

Lu Chuan was a little surprised, nodded immediately, and watched Shen Gongbao go out to the left.

"What did you do?"

Lu Chuan felt a little strange, but he was not in a hurry when he saw that Shen Gongbao paid the bill and left.

"Shopkeeper, what did my master do?" Lu Chuan asked while eating.

The shopkeeper was about forty years old, dressed in brocade clothes, it could be seen that his family background was good, he must be either rich or expensive.

Wen Yan said: "The Taoist priest just asked if there is any house for sale here."

"House? Why buy a house?"

Lu Chuan was surprised that Shen Gongbao's actions really made him unpredictable and confused.

Originally, he thought he was just coming here for two days, but he didn't expect Shen Gongbao to buy a house suddenly. Could it be that he planned to settle down in Chaoge?

After breakfast, Lu Chuan left the restaurant and followed the shopkeeper's instructions, went out and looked for six shops to the left, and he found Shen Gongbao.

This shop is not very big, it sells handmade wood carvings, and there are many carved gadgets on the shelves, including birds, beasts, insects and fish.

There is also a small courtyard with three rooms at the back.

When Lu Chuan entered, Shen Gongbao was paying the money. The boss was a middle-aged man, dressed in plain clothes, and looked very simple, with an eight or nine-year-old girl beside him.

Together with these goods, they were finally sold for three hundred taels of silver.

"etc……"

When Shen Gongbao was about to hand over the silver, he said suddenly when it was exchanged for the land deed in the hands of the boss.

"Master Dao, we have already discussed the price, you can't go back on your word."

Seeing this, Shen Gongbao handed over the silver and exchanged it for the land deed, and said with a smile, "It's not about repentance, it's just that from now on, we'll pay off both the money and the goods."

"good!"

The boss nodded, and led his daughter away quickly, because he had already cleaned up because it was going to be transferred.

The two watched their father and daughter leave, and Lu Chuan said, "Master, why are you buying this shop?"

"Being a teacher has its own role. You will know it in the future. From today on, we will settle down here in Chaoge."

Shen Gongbao said: "Next, my teacher will teach you the art of war, martial arts, and Taoism. You have to study hard to prepare for the future..."

"art of war?

Lu Chuan said: "Master, it's easy to learn martial arts and Taoism, but isn't this art of war used to lead troops to fight? What should I learn for it?"

"If you are told to learn, you will learn."
