Chapter 355 Dongli Mountain

After arriving at Dongli Mountain, he saw, heard, and arranged things along the way. When he was about to enter the Strange Fire Tower, he found something unusual and immediately returned.

After half a month's journey, Ning Wuxie and his party finally arrived at the Dongli Mountains.

This mountain runs east-west and is the boundary mountain between Shangyun and Lanyuan Dynasty. Lanyuan is to the north and Shangyun is to the south. To the east is the East China Sea. Dongli Mountain runs across the east, like a big ship about to sail into the East China Sea. The mountain range stretches into the sea, forming many mountain and sea cliff cave-like wonders.

The Strange Fire Tower is built on such a rugged cliff that pierces the blue sea. It is strange that the sect that plays with fire lives by the sea, but it is said that there is a fire cave under the cliff that goes straight to the center of the earth. It can only be suppressed by sea water so that it will not burst out, and thus be used by the Strange Fire Tower.

Ning Wuxie had only been here once in his previous life. It was just that the Strange Fire Tower was really low-key and was a marginal person in the world.

Xuan'er had never been here once.

There are many small towns at the foot of Dongli Mountain, most of which have a population of one or two thousand. After all, the mountains are still dangerous, and only the cultivators of the Different Fire Tower occupy them. The towns near the mountains make a living from the mountains, and near the sea they fish. The main business is still farming, and there are no large cities around.

The low-key sect, coupled with rich resources and beautiful scenery, this section of the Dongli Mountains is considered a small paradise.

Before arriving at Dongli Mountain, Ning Wuxie stuffed Li Luobing back into his own small world and did not let her come out again.

He and Xuan'er also dared to enter the town after changing their appearance.

"Brother, are we going directly to the Different Fire Tower?" Xuan'er asked, wearing a set of blue short clothes that she had just bought for coastal farmers and a bamboo hat, holding Ning Wuxie's hand.

Chen'er was also in the small world, being looked after by Chongjue, Chilian Baizhou, Li Luobing and others.

This kid is quite lucky.

"No, let's live here for a while."

Ning Wuxie looked at the street scenes around him. Under the gray sky, the rain was like silk. Qingluo Town seemed to be shrouded in mist and rain. The bluestone slabs were shining with water, and the canal under the blue tiles and white walls was gurgling.

The pedestrians walked by wearing bamboo hats as usual.

Qingluo Town is the largest of the four towns in Dongli. It is not by the sea, but because it is on the south bank of Dongli Mountain, it is still because of the water vapor brought by the sea that the climate is humid all year round.

Therefore, although the townspeople on the street are all mortals, they look fair and healthy. It is much better than the arid northwest area of ​​Xuanqin.

"Are we going to live in seclusion here?" Xuan'er pulled Ning Wuxie's arm, her eyes sparkling.

"No..." Ning Wuxie touched her face, "Just stay here and see the situation."

He took Xuan'er to stand under a roof, away from pedestrians, and no outsiders could hear what they said here.

"Dongli Mountain is located on the edge of Lingwu Continent. It has always been peaceful. These townspeople have lived here for generations, and there are few outsiders. The Yihuo Tower is the same. It only lives on that one acre of land and has little communication with the outside world."

"Just now when you and I were standing on the street, many people were staring at us, just because we were unfamiliar."

"Wuyuan has not written to us, and the situation is uncertain now. Even if Tianxu reacts slowly, he should understand what we are doing after the Xuanhu Sword was taken away."

"Now, we must not act rashly. Once we are caught... I am worried that Tianxu will do whatever it takes to kill us."

Ning Wuxie said while looking up at the street. Fortunately, it was early morning and there were no suspicious figures on the street. They were all ordinary people who were in a hurry to make a living.

"What should I do?" Xuan'er held Ning Wuxie's hand.

"So, I plan to live in this town for a while, and wait for the Yihuo Tower monk to go down the mountain. We will ask him to pass on the message, and there should be one."

"That's still seclusion!" Xuan'er was a little excited.

"It won't be long..." Ning Wuxie looked at Xuan'er helplessly. She really wanted to live a stable life.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how long it takes." Xuan'er hugged her brother, "Then... should we buy a house?"

Ning Wuxie nodded, "Yes, buy a house, find a business, and we can pretend to be ordinary people to gain a foothold in the town."

Xuan'er was obviously excited, "Okay, I want to work with you to make money."

"What money to make, do we need money!" Ning Wuxie pinched her two cheeks with one hand, and Xuan'er's rosy lips pouted, revealing her white pearly teeth.

"It's just for disguise!"

Xuan'er's eyes revealed clear stupidity. She was pinched by Ning Wuxie like a hamster with her front teeth exposed, and she didn't resist, just stared at him blankly.

"No matter, it's fine to be with you anyway..."

Ning Wuxie sighed and let go of his hand. Xuan'er fell forward as if she had no backbone, and threw herself into Ning Wuxie's arms.

"What's wrong with you? Is it also stupid for three years after pregnancy?" Ning Wuxie poked her head.

He finally understood that only Chen'er could seal her annoying physique. Holding Chen'er, Xuan'er held the emperor hostage to command the princes, just like a tyrant in the family. When Chen'er was not around, she was just like the little girl back then, relying on him shamelessly.

"Let's go, let's go buy a house." Ning Wuxie sighed.

"Yeah!"

After agreeing with Xuan'er, Ning Wuxie brought Xuan'er to the tavern and asked the waiter if there were any reliable brokers around.

A broker was an intermediary in ancient times. If you wanted to buy an unused house but didn't want to go out and look for it, you had to rely on him.

Coincidentally, there was a broker sitting under the eaves of the tavern drinking. When he heard Ning Wuxie's question, he hurried over.

"Brother, do you want to buy a house? I am the broker in Qingluo Town. I will help you!"

Since it was so convenient, Ning Wuxie agreed. What he hated most was going through so much trouble to make a big fuss around Qingluo Town. If everyone in the town knew that there was a couple of new people in the town, it would be a waste of time.

The broker was called Chen San. He took the opportunity to invite Ning Wuxie to drink in the tavern and chat with him. He started with a compliment.

"Brother, you are really handsome and elegant, and your wife is also very beautiful. You can tell at a glance that she is not an ordinary person, hehe..."

Ning Wuxie's expression tightened, and then he saw Chen San smiling and smiling naturally, and then he realized that the "mortal" he said meant ordinary people.

The four towns in Dongli are far away from the Central Plains, and the monks in the Different Fire Tower are very low-key. The people are less sensitive to the cultivators and immortals.

"Where are you two from? What are your names?"

According to convention, Chen San still asked, after all, people of unknown origin cannot be accepted into the town.

But Ning Wuxie also thought of the words in advance.

"My name is Lin Mo, my wife's surname is Shen, we came here from Da Chu to avoid disaster."

"Avoid disaster?" Chen San raised his eyebrows, his eyes more alert.

"That's right," Ning Wuxie nodded, "My wife is the daughter of a small family at the foot of Qingyu Mountain in the east of Da Chu, and I was adopted by the Shen family 20 years ago because of the face of an old friend. During the 20 years, I fell in love with her and swore to spend my life together, but was stopped by Lin Wuxie, the head of the Ning family, and was forced to break up the couple."

"I won't talk about all kinds of obstacles and countless tears in the meantime. In the end, we decided to live together and elope completely. I heard that Dongli Mountain has beautiful scenery and kind people, and it is a small paradise in Lingwu, so I thought about living in seclusion here and spending the rest of my life."

As Ning Wuxie said, he also put his arm around Xuan'er's shoulders, looking like a pair of miserable mandarin ducks.

This remark not only showed weakness, but also praised the four towns of Dongli Mountain. Chen San felt relieved. As for the Shen family in Qingyu Mountain in the east of Chu State, they are separated from Dongli Mountain by the entire Dayu State, and Chen San will never meet a person from there in his life.

But business cannot be so simple. Chen San nodded, raised his glass and clinked it with Ning Wuxie, "Brother Lin is a real man."

"But..." He changed his tone, "If you want to live in Qingyun Town for a long time, you must have a place to live. What business do you plan to do?"

"I don't know yet." Ning Wuxie answered truthfully.

And this is exactly the most truthful answer. Who can think about how to make a living after just escaping from the disaster and not settling down? Of course, do whatever you can.

"I heard that the four towns of Dongli rely on mountains and seas for food. Lin is strong and has learned some boxing in the family. Maybe he also goes to the mountains and seas to make a living."

Chen San smiled slightly and felt more relieved. Nine out of ten outsiders who came to Dongli Mountain said so.

"That's fine. Brother Lin just needs to get a mountain running permit or a fishing permit from the local government office."

"Do you need a permit?"

"Of course, this is the rule of the four towns of Dongli. All mountain dwellers and fishermen have one. Otherwise, Dongli Mountain would have been crowded out by outsiders... Of course, I'm not talking about you, Brother Lin."

Chen San forced a smile, "Since Brother Lin and his wife eloped from a noble family, they naturally have no shortage of white and yellow things."

Ning Wuxie sneered in his heart. There are really many rules in this mortal world, but they still have to give way to money.

"Money is not a problem. When Brother Chen introduces houses, just pick out the good ones. Don't look at the bad ones."

Chen San's face lit up, "Okay, that's great! Brother Lin said that and I immediately have a few places in mind. I'll take you two to see them now."

Chen San stood up and walked to the street, but saw Ning Wuxie sitting still on the chair.

"Brother Lin?"

"Are you going to see the house?" Ning Wuxie raised his head and asked.

"Of course, how can you buy a house without seeing it?" Chen San smiled.

"How about you, brother San, tell me about it... just tell me about the best houses, and if we like them, we'll buy them."

Chen San was stunned, "How can you buy a house like this? Can you buy it without seeing it?"

"Lan'er is pregnant and can't walk, and I can't bear to leave her alone..."

Ning Wuxie looked at Xuan'er and reached out to touch Xuan'er's cheek. This was really mushy in front of outsiders, but this was the effect he wanted.

Chen San then remembered that Mrs. Shen's belly was indeed bulging - this was of course the effect of Xuan'er's magic power - this was indeed difficult to deal with.

Looking at the young couple's clinging, they really couldn't leave each other for a moment, no wonder they eloped. Chen San felt a little disdain in his heart. A grown man who clings to a woman all day is probably a waste.

"That's fine..." He walked back to the table and sat down, "Brother Lin, tell me the budget."

"Don't consider my budget," Ning Wuxie let go of Xuan'er and waved to Chen San, "Just take out the best and most expensive one you have."

Chen San was stunned, and his disdain just now disappeared.

"That's great, listen to me and tell you in detail..."

In less than half an hour, Chen San introduced the best houses he had to Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er. He started from the best to the worst. In fact, when he talked about the third house, Ning Wuxie had already made up his mind, and the ones after that were not good.

The first house was the property of a landlord, the most magnificent, with four entrances and ten side courtyards, too ostentatious, so it was not chosen.

The third one was the retreat of a cultivator in the past, and now it belongs to the mayor. Although the courtyard is small, it has a bamboo forest, a pond with flowers and birds, and a fairy atmosphere.

Ning Wuxie dared not be associated with the impression of a cultivator, and decisively threw it away.

The remaining house is the second one, located in the north of the town, close to the road leading out of the town and up the mountain, not far from the town market, with only three entrances, just right for a family of three.

Of course, the price is not cheap, asking for 50 taels.

Ning Wuxie took out a gold bar from his arms, and instantly made Chen San's eyes nailed on it.

"I was in a hurry to leave the Shen family, and I have spent all the silver along the way. Only these are left. Please accompany me to exchange them, brother San."

It turned out that it was stolen from the master's house, no wonder he is so arrogant, good boy, kidnapped someone's daughter and took the money, what an ungrateful wolf.

Chen San's disdain that disappeared just now returned again.

"Okay, Brother Lin, you take it first, we'll leave now."

Although he despised "Lin Mo" in his heart, Chen San didn't have any bad thoughts in his heart.

There are all kinds of people in the world, how can people survive without money if they elope? Besides, who knows how this adopted son is treated in the Shen family?

He felt slightly balanced in his heart. Just do your job well and earn what you should earn! His ancestors have been in Qingluo Town for generations. Isn't it the same for the people of Qingluo Town? His business as a broker was also inherited from the previous generation. There are rules for taking commissions. You can't break the rules and let people look down on you.

Thinking of this, the three of them arrived at the jewelry store. Ning Wuxie melted the gold bars into a share worth 100 taels, and followed Chen San directly to the house. As expected, he was satisfied, so he signed and sealed in the yard and received the house deed.

"Third brother." Before leaving, Ning Wuxie called Chen San and stuffed 10 taels of silver in addition to the legal commission into Chen San's arms.

"I'm always worried that the Shen family will send someone to arrest Lan'er. I'm worried about the two of us here..."

"How many people are there in the Shen family?" Chen San asked.

"No more than 100."

"... Don't worry, such a small family, they won't come to arrest you." After saying that, Chen San turned around and left.

"No, no, you have to accept it, otherwise Lan'er will be worried." Ning Wuxie held his arm, "Brother San, just do me a favor. If there is an outsider coming to Qingluo Town, let me know."

"When I make money in the future... I will show my appreciation."

Chen San looked at Ning Wuxie's sincere and serious expression, thinking that people in Da Chu are just cunning and calculative.

"Okay, if there is an outsider coming to town, I will be the first to tell you."

He reached out and grabbed the silver, turned around and left.
