Chapter 1496: The Savior of the Wulin
Inside the Lingjiu Palace, the Tianshan Tonglao suddenly invited her to go down the Tianshan Mountain without knowing the purpose of the two people. She said that they wanted to go deep into the masses. Do they think they are the emperor? Are they still going to visit incognito? Moreover, they seemed to know the situation of the Lingjiu Palace very well. They also said that they wanted to make more efficient use of the mob of the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands. All these made the Tianshan Tonglao feel confused.
Duran and Denise could see the heart of the Tianshan Tonglao and found that she was full of questions.
Why do people always have so many questions? Duran thought to himself that he had said so many great truths, why can't he believe him? Obviously he is such a good person.
"How about this, you have hundreds of female disciples in the nine heavens and nine divisions of the Lingjiu Palace. The daily expenses must be quite a lot. How about I pay you to go down the Tianshan Mountain? One string of money a day." One string of money is not a small amount in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is the expenses of a family of three in the imperial city for half a year.
Xiaoyao Sect was established in the early Northern Song Dynasty, and it has been more than 130 years since then. Tianshan Tonglao is already 96 years old, so she is naturally very clear about the prices in the Northern Song Dynasty. One guan of money a day is probably not affordable for anyone other than the royal nobles. Considering that she has no martial arts value in these 90 days, why not create some value?
The 36 caves and 72 islands have rebelled, so she has to make plans early. 90 days means 90 guan of money, which is enough for the expenses of Lingjiu Palace for two months.
From an economic point of view, this is definitely a very good choice, maximizing benefits. Tianshan Tonglao does not understand economics, but she is shrewd, and Duran and Denise are obviously not going to give up until they achieve their goals. Her best choice now is to agree: "Plus food and accommodation." Tianshan Tonglao put forward the final condition.
Duran smiled: "Sure enough, food and accommodation are provided."
"Okay, you stay tonight, I'll tell you, and we'll leave tomorrow." Tonglao is going on a long journey, so she naturally has to tell her disciples to guard Lingjiu Palace and not be plotted against by the bad guys.
The next day, Tonglao was ready, and the three of them went down the mountain together.
Last night, the mob on the mountainside had almost scattered. They didn't dare to follow Duran up the mountain, fearing that they would be beaten to death, so they turned around and went down the mountain. Only those who didn't have time to leave and those who didn't understand the situation were left.
If I still have my power, I must kill him completely. Tong Lao looked at these people with murderous eyes. But forget it now, remember the appearance of these people first, and settle accounts later.
The journey was smooth, and the three of them came to the foot of Piao Miao Peak. Tong Lao couldn't help asking: "Where are we going?" Although she was only responsible for taking the money, she had to consider that her current condition was not suitable for a long journey. She was already very tired just going down the mountain.
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Conference, the Zhenlong chess game, it's very lively over there."
Tong Lao was unhappy when she heard it. Isn't that her junior brother's territory? The polyamorous love between the Xiaoyao Sect's senior brothers and sisters was Tong Lao's lifelong pain. The hatred between her and her junior sister Li Qiushui that exceeded half a century started because of her junior brother Wuyazi.
However, since they left Piao Miao Peak, Tong Lao couldn't say anything.
After purchasing horses, the group headed straight to Leigushan where the Zhenlong chess game was located.
Everyone in the martial arts world thought that Wuyazi was dead, but Tong Lao knew that Wuyazi was not dead at all, but had been hiding. This Zhenlong chess game was set up by Wuyazi, who pretended to be dead, in order to select a successor. Unfortunately, no one has cracked it for thirty years.
Xiaoyaozi, the founder of the Xiaoyao Sect, was a free and easy person, so his several disciples also had eccentric tempers and paranoia. Wuyazi, as the only male disciple of Xiaoyaozi, was treated as a treasure by all his sisters and brothers. Unfortunately, he was bullied and destroyed because of his careless acceptance of disciples. Although he did not die, he was disabled.
But even so, Wuyazi first looked at intelligence, then face, and finally morality when accepting disciples. He was not afraid of being cheated, but was afraid that no one would inherit his skills and that his disciples would be laughed at by outsiders.
The Zhenlong chess game has always been very attractive. Although no one knows what benefits will be gained after winning, the masters of both black and white have never given up the challenge in the past thirty years. They know that the prize for victory will definitely not be bad. Just by looking at the erudition of the champion Su Xinghe, who is proficient in all aspects of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the outstanding martial arts of his disciples, we can infer this.
These masters have waited for thirty years, not just for fun, so there has been an endless stream of martial arts knights who have come or been invited in the past thirty years, but unfortunately no one can crack the chess game that Wuyazi spent three years to come up with.
This time, many people came to challenge, including Nan Murong Murong Fu, Dali Prince Duan Yu, the boss of the four evil men Duan Yanqing, Wuyazi's traitor Ding Chunqiu, and celebrities from major martial arts sects. It can be said that there are many talents in Leigushan.
A chessboard surrounded by many people, just like chess gambling on the street, laymen watch the excitement and experts watch the doorway.
"The martial arts world does not necessarily have to be romantic, and masters do not necessarily have good looks." Duran said that his arrival has obviously raised the style of the martial arts world. Seeing this group of dusty knights gathered around the chessboard like old men and women, Duran felt that the spotless three of them could kill the knights on the street in seconds just by their cleanliness.
Then everyone heard Duran's mouth making a constant "tsk tsk" sound, and felt Duran's critical gaze.
The martial artists all had bad tempers, so how could they tolerate Duran's picky gaze? A rough man holding an axe shouted: "What are you worried about?!"
Murong Fu, Duan Yu, Ding Chunqiu, Wang Yuyan and other main characters looked at the frivolous and shameless Duran, but found that he actually enjoyed the gaze of everyone, with an expression of shamelessness and pride on his face.
"Does this world still not allow people to tell the truth?" Duran seemed to have come to Leigushan specifically to anger people.
Tianshan Tonglao was a little confused about what was going on with Duran. Wasn't he afraid of causing public outrage in the martial arts world? And what exactly was the Jianghu in his mind like? What was unromantic and what was not good-looking? Was this his grassroots level? The grassroots level in his mind was probably very different from reality.
Since Duran went to the grassroots level, of course he had to transform the grassroots level until he was satisfied.
"It's people like you who lower the average level of knights." Duran's words were so heartbreaking that the big man almost threw his axe on the ground and rushed to tear Duran apart.
"I, I..." The big man was so angry that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"But don't worry, now I solemnly recommend to you the legendary beauty and whitening product 'six god' that will save the appearance of the martial arts world." Duran discussed with Denise along the way. He was ready to stay in this world permanently. He wanted to experience the most glorious hundreds of years of the entire martial arts. Lingjiu Palace will be named Du after him in the future, so they want to make money, and Duran is ready to enter the beauty industry and make a small contribution to the appearance of the entire Jianghu.
Tianshan Tonglao had no idea that Duran had already extended his claws to her industry. She thought she had seen countless people, but she was still frightened by Duran's jumpiness. She had never seen such a strange person as Duran.
Duran took the lead as soon as he came, using the opportunity of this "Ten Thousand Immortals Conference" to open up the market, saving thousands of knights who were looked down upon because of their insufficient appearance, and bringing the knights the gospel beauty product "Six Gods".
"Friend, don't give up on yourself just because you are ugly. As long as you use my products, you can become as handsome as those pretty boys next to you, and you can also attract beautiful women to accompany you. The Western formula is synthesized with Chinese medicine, which is trustworthy. Now the new product only needs three strings to be launched." Duran said and directed his firepower to Murong Fu and Duan Yu. The two of them were accompanied by the peerless beauty Wang Yuyan. Although the talented scholar and the beautiful woman were stained with dust, they were still very eye-catching.
The Tianshan Tonglao standing by was dumbfounded. She hadn't even received one guan of money yet, but Duran wanted to earn three guan of money in a blink of an eye. Did he think that all knights were fools?
No one paid attention to the chess player struggling in the Zhenlong chess game. Everyone's attention was focused on Duran's hands. Everyone loves beauty, especially since many knights were troubled by their lack of appearance, so they were naturally attracted by Duran's words.
