Chapter 8 The Prince! Wudianshan

…

Longzuo County City.

It has always been a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, that is, there are many casual cultivators with low strength who come to try their luck. There is also the aristocratic Zifu family that has been passed down for thousands of years.

However, among all living beings, the most worshiped and admired one is undoubtedly the hereditary Zhenzuo King of Longzuo County Prince's Palace - Wu Dianshan.

Nominally speaking, the lineage of Zhenzuo kings are the kings who guard Longzuo County in place of the king. It's just that after the founding of the country, Daqian really implemented the county guard system.

The county governor's office is the real institution that is controlled by the capital and manages the affairs of a county.

The Zhenzuo King lineage has always been a king in name only, but in reality they do not have much authority. Wu Dianshan, the contemporary prince of the county, has not had any great talents since he was a child. He likes all kinds of eating, drinking and having fun. At most, he only makes friends with some masters of casual cultivating, and the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

If some aristocratic families encounter difficulties and come to the county prince's house for help, most of them will help. Therefore, the reputation of the county-king line is generally pretty good.

The Prince's Mansion is not far from the Wang family in Longzuo and is at the core of the county town. It can also be seen from this that the Wang family of Longzuo was very powerful when it was at its peak.

It's just that the palace of the county prince is larger, and the main homestead is several times that of the Wang family in Longzuo.

Wang Shouzhe and Longyan Patriarch handed over the greeting cards according to the rules. The name used includes the Changning Wang family, as well as the registered personal transmissions of Master Changchun and Master Binglan, and the identity token of Master Changchun is attached.

Immediately, he was respectfully invited to the side hall by the concierge. The servants and maids presented exquisite pastries, fruits, and spiritual teas, all of which were spiritual things.

The Prince's Mansion is indeed a Prince's Mansion, and its heritage is truly extraordinary.

Even the maid and the servant are young monks who have achieved some success in the Qi Refining Realm, and they look quite upright. And the concierge was a monk in the Lingtai realm.

Wang Shouzhe and Longyan Patriarch looked calm as usual and simply drank the spirit tea. After all, the Changning Wang family's income is far more than that of ordinary Tianren realm families, and they are used to seeing the world.

Not more than a moment.

Then a big steward in a brocade robe stepped into the side hall and said with a hearty smile: "The sparrows in the bird garden in the mansion are chirping happily today. It is obvious that a distinguished guest is coming, but I never thought that it is the Wang family of Changning who has recently become famous. . I am Wu Zhong, the chief steward of the palace. I have met the head of the Wang family’s Shouzhe family and the ancestor Longyan.”

A warm and hearty atmosphere spread across the room, making Wang Shouzhe feel his enthusiasm. Moreover, he never mentioned the two masters, as if he was so enthusiastic because of the face of the Changning Wang family.

But Wang Shouzhe knew that in this short period of time, Wu Zhong, the chief steward, had obviously checked the information of the Wang family in Changning and responded quickly.

As the most top aristocratic family in Longzuo County, the Prince's Mansion, it is reasonable to collect and summarize the intelligence of various cities and guards. Today's Changning Wang family is not the small eighth- and ninth-grade family that it was back then.

"Shouzhe has met Mr. Wu." Wang Shouzhe stood up and returned the gift with a graceful and courteous demeanor. He took out a large number of salutations from the storage ring, "A small gift to show your appreciation."

Wu Zhong, the chief steward, was also a well-informed person. He didn't even look at the gift list. He just glanced at it and roughly estimated the value of this gift. I'm afraid it would not be less than thirty thousand gold.

Wu Zhong was secretly frightened and hurriedly gave in: "Master Shouzhe is here as soon as he comes, why do you need such a generous gift? Put it away quickly, put it away." He couldn't help but think of the brief introduction about the Wang family in Changning in the intelligence. , the owner of the family, Wang Shouzhe, is quite talented in business, and the Wang family has a good income.

A casual tribute is thirty thousand gold. Either the Wang family is extremely rich and doesn't care about money, or the other party has very big plans.

"It's just a courtesy salute. Don't take it too seriously." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "I do have something to ask His Highness when I come here this time. I hope His Highness can help you for the sake of Master Changchun. Please recommend Master Alchemy."

Wu Zhong understood it all at once, and immediately said with a hearty smile: "It turns out that the head of the Shouzhe family also came here for Master Danding to recruit disciples. To be honest, there were many families who came to entrust His Highness with orders and wanted to go away. Master Aland Cauldron’s connection. However, His Highness the County Prince rejected these requests one by one.”

Without waiting for Wang Shouzhe to speak, Wu Zhong said again: "But if it is for Master Changchun's face, His Highness the County Prince will definitely be happy to see this happen."

as expected.

With Master Changchun's token, the result would be different.

This is the sophistication of people in the Xuanwu world, and the connections between people. His Highness the Prince is willing to agree to this matter because he must have taken a fancy to Master Changchun's favor. If something comes to Master Changchun one day, Master Changchun will have to repay this favor.

"However, the final decision depends on His Highness the Prince." Chief Steward Wu Zhong saluted, cupped his hands and said, "You two have a rest for now, and let me report to His Highness the Prince."

After greetings.

Wu Zhong left in a hurry, and within half an hour, he returned to the side hall: "Congratulations to the head of the Shouzhe family, the ancestor of Longyan. His Royal Highness happened to have nothing to do today, so he decided to entertain the two of you in person, and invited the two distinguished guests to accompany him. Wu is here.”

Subsequently.

Under the arrangement of Wu Zhong, Wang Shouzhe and Longyan Patriarch met with Wu Dianshan, the king of Zhenzuo, in an elegant courtyard.

This courtyard is full of exotic flowers and plants, and the courtyard pavilions are crisscrossed and interesting. There is also a pool of water with a radius of dozens of acres in the courtyard. There are many spiritual fish in the water pool.

A middle-aged man wearing a python robe and a purple gold crown is fishing with a purple bamboo fishing rod. He doesn't look majestic, but has a leisurely and comfortable attitude.

When he saw Wang Shouzhe and Wang Shouzhe, he did not need Wu Zhong to introduce him. Instead, he took the initiative to greet them with a smile: "These two young talents are Wang Shouzhe and Wang Longyan, the proud disciples of Master Changchun and Binglan." Right? Come quickly and sit down to drink tea."

In a short period of time, some related information about Wang Shouzhe and Wang Longyan has obviously been paid attention to.

The genius of Zifu Academy has an extraordinary status indeed. He will be respected and flattered wherever he goes, but this does not include the prince's palace.

The dignified King Zuo of Zhentang was originally a monk from Zifujing, and he was also the Great Qianfeng King. How esteemed was his position? Although the personal inheritance from the academy is extraordinary, it is far from comparable to it.

The reason why His Highness the County Prince is so courteous is that, apart from the extraordinary excellence of Shouzhe Longyan and the two others, it is probably because of the face of the two masters. Especially since Wang Shouzhe came with the Changchun Order, it was obvious that Changchun was asking him to sell face.

However, even if His Highness the County Prince does not put on airs, he appears to be approachable. Wang Shouzhe and Longyan ancestors still had the attitude of juniors and respectfully paid homage to the prince.

Although Prince Wu Dianshan only looks middle-aged, he is actually five or six hundred years old, and his cultivation is unfathomable. How can he be careless?

After following the etiquette.

The prince of the county invited the two of them to a small dinner by the water in the courtyard.

There were no dragon livers, phoenixes and gallbladders at the banquet, only some ordinary spiritual delicacies. The cooking skills were very delicate and delicate, and the presentation was appetizing.

Wu Dianshan originally wanted to sell face to Master Changchun, but he never thought of casually chatting with Wang Shouzhe. He actually found that his thoughts were extremely alert and his knowledge was extraordinary. Some casual remarks, but showing unique thoughts, always make Wu Dianshan feel quite inspired.

"It's interesting. My little friend's views on world affairs are really sharp and wonderful." Prince Wu Dianshan laughed heartily.

After half the banquet, Wu Dianshan admired this junior more and more. No wonder the intelligence said that the Wang family could be promoted from a poor ninth-grade to a seventh-grade in just twenty years.

"The prince likes fishing?" Wang Shouzhe observed several times. Wu Dianshan, the prince of the county, seems to like fishing quite a lot and has cited fishing-related allusions several times.

"Just having fun in my free time, Shouzhe, you are young and don't understand. After a person has lived for more than five hundred years, he has tried everything, and gradually he is not interested in anything." Prince Wu Dianshan said, "I have to You should play sparingly, because you are afraid that after you get tired of playing, it will be difficult to find fun again. Could it be that Shouzhe also likes fishing? "

I did like it in my previous life, but I rarely play it in this life.

"It's not that I like it, it's just that I, the Wang family, live by the Anjiang River, and we catch some fish every year." Wang Shouzhe touched his storage ring, and a strange seven-foot-long fishing rod appeared in his hand, "This fishing rod is Shouzhe works in his spare time, please give me some corrections from the prince."

"This rod is so short, and there are some fine iron rings. What is that spinning wheel below?" Prince Wu Dianshan suddenly became interested, took the fishing rod and marveled, "I have lived for so long. , I have never seen such a weird fishing rod, Shouzhe, what is the significance of this thing?"

"This rod is called Luya." Wang Shouzhe said truthfully, "It is specially designed to catch those ferocious predatory fish. To build this fishing rod, the rod material is made of 5,000-year-old red sandalwood bamboo, and the fishing line is even more expensive. The sixth-level spiritual insect Nine Nether Ice Silkworm silk is made of thirty-two strands. As long as the spiritual fish does not exceed the fourth level, it is difficult to break. Your Majesty, you see, lure fishing lures are different from ordinary fishing rod baits... …”

"It's actually a fake bait..."

"That's right, because the nature of fishing is different. Ordinary fishing is about guarding fishing, but Luya needs to take the initiative..."

In this way, Wu Dianshan was amazed. He said it was interesting and couldn't wait to try it.

The ancestor of Longyan on the side was quite speechless. This kid Shouzhe can really compete with anyone.

…

Time passed by, and it was a few days later.

Because Master Danding is like a wandering cloud and wild crane, he has no residence in the county. Therefore, he held the disciple recruitment conference this time at the Tianyuan Danfang, the largest alchemy workshop in the county.

On the day of apprenticeship selection, countless applicants came from all over the county and city in a hurry to get this opportunity.

Among them, there are children from big families, children from low-ranking ninth-grade families, and many low-ranking families and casual cultivators, all coming to try their luck. It seems that as long as he can be favored by Master Alchemy and be accepted as his disciple, he will be able to rise to prominence.

Outside Tianyuan Danfang, there was a sea of ​​people.

Wang Shouye, the seventh son of the Wang family, and a pretty beauty were squeezed into the crowd. They finally reported their fate and got an exam number plate, but it said the number three hundred and ninety-six.

This made him smile bitterly. With so many competitors, he might not even be able to pass the preliminary examination.
