I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1966: Shopkeeper Qian Liu
Hearing what the young man said, Liu Jun's mind immediately emerged with the image of the fat man who was always smiling and whom he met in the Tomb of the God King.

He still remembers the fat man's round body, his friendly face, and his eyes that seemed to always be able to see into people's hearts.

Before, Liu Jun only vaguely knew that the fat man had a high status in Jinliufu Qiangui, but he never expected that his status was so high that he was the shopkeeper of one of the five branches of Jinliufu Qiangui.

"Okay, since Manager Qian has invited us so warmly, we will respectfully obey your command." Liu Jun responded with a smile.

They were just worried about not being able to find a suitable place to live in this huge Sky Fire God City, but they didn't expect that the Jin Liufu Cash Box would come to their doorstep. It was like someone sending them a pillow when they were sleepy, and it came at the perfect time.

"Please follow me." The young man made a gesture of invitation, with a smile on his face, and began to lead the way.

The Skyfire Divine King City was indeed as big as its reputation said. Moreover, there was a strange rule here: no flying. No flying instruments or people were allowed to fly at will. Of course, the people in the Divine King Palace were an exception.

In addition, people who are not from the Palace of the God King are not allowed to drive carriages in the city.

Therefore, they could only rely on their two legs and walk step by step in this bustling city.

Fortunately, the God King City was lively enough. The numerous shops and stalls lining the streets, as well as the bustling crowds, made them feel extremely curious and excited.

As Liu Jun and his friends walked, they admired the scenery on both sides of the street, as if they were shopping, enjoying this rare leisure and freedom.

An hour later, under the guidance of the young man, the few people finally arrived at the Jinliufu Qiangui branch in the prestigious Tianhuo Shenwang City.

Liu Jun, who was walking in front, had seen countless magnificent buildings. However, when he looked up at the building in front of him, he was still deeply shocked by its magnificent and ingenious design.

This wooden building is like a towering tower, soaring into the sky, with as many as 19 floors. Its length is even more amazing, stretching for hundreds of meters, like a golden dragon winding on the street. The wood texture is clearly visible, and each piece of wood is carefully covered with gilded patterns, shining with dazzling light. Those patterns are complex and exquisite, with flying dragons flying in the clouds, phoenixes spreading their wings, and various exotic flowers and plants, magical beasts and birds, as if the essence of the entire world is condensed on this building.

Under the sunlight, the whole building is shining, exuding an indescribable majesty and mystery.

Liu Jun couldn't help but stop, his eyes lingering on the gilded patterns, and an irrepressible admiration welled up in his heart.

Behind him, several other people also stopped and looked up at this stunning building. They also showed amazement on their faces.

"Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen such a tall building!" The tiger-striped burly man looked up at the towering wooden building, his eyes full of amazement.

"That's awesome!" The fat man next to him couldn't help but open his mouth wide, with admiration shining in his eyes.

It's a pity that the fat guy is uneducated and can travel the world with just one sentence.

The young man in charge of leading the way smiled as he watched everyone's reactions. He coughed softly to draw everyone's attention back and said, "Everyone, shall we go in? There are so many people coming and going outside. Don't let them bump into us."

Led by the young man, everyone walked slowly into the interior of the Jinliufu Qiangui branch with curiosity and anticipation.

As soon as you enter the door, a light wood fragrance hits your nose, which makes you feel refreshed. The interior of the hall is spacious and bright, and exquisite wood carvings are hung on the towering ceiling. Each one is lifelike, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story.

The walls are inlaid with a variety of wooden artworks, including delicate landscape paintings, vivid animal sculptures, and auspicious patterns and designs, which are dazzling. The ground is paved with smooth wooden floors, and every step is a steady and powerful rhythm.

The hall seemed to be a place dedicated to handling financial services such as currency exchange and pawning. Rows of neatly arranged counters were scattered in every corner of the hall, and behind each counter were various financial instruments and neatly stacked divine coins, which sparkled with an alluring light.

Behind each counter stands a handsome or beautiful staff member. They are dressed in uniform and wear exquisite badges on their chests, which makes them look very professional. These staff members seem to have received special training, and their service attitude is warm and thoughtful. They always have a warm smile on their faces, patiently answer various questions for customers, and skillfully handle various businesses.

"Oh my god? There are so many divine coins on the counter, aren't you afraid that they will be stolen?" The fat man couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes moving among the divine coins on the counter, full of curiosity and surprise.

The young man who led the way smiled confidently upon hearing this, and said with a hint of pride and pride: "No one dares to rob our JLF cash box."

This is said with great confidence, and there is capital for confidence. At Jinliufu Cashbox, safety always comes first.

As soon as Liu Jun came in, he discovered the secret hidden in the hall on this floor. In this seemingly peaceful hall, there were at least a dozen late-stage Lord God-level strongmen hiding. They were either hiding in the dark or disguised as ordinary customers, but without exception, they all exuded a powerful aura.

The existence of these strong men has greatly improved the safety factor of Jinliufu Cash Box.

As they walked deeper into the hall, they saw that the interior space was getting bigger and bigger, and the decorations were getting more and more luxurious. Various rare woods were cleverly used in every detail, whether it was tables, chairs, benches, doors, windows or partitions, all of which revealed a low-key and luxurious temperament.

I walked to the end of the passage and saw several rectangular wooden boxes surrounded by thick wooden fences. These wooden boxes were unusually large, and even if they could accommodate more than 20 people, it would not make people feel crowded. The surface of the wooden boxes was polished smooth and delicate, exuding a faint wood fragrance, which made people feel good about it.

"This is a wooden ladder that our Jinliufu Qiangui specially asked Lu Ban to design," the young man introduced. "People only need to stand on it to reach the upper floors effortlessly. It is both convenient and fast."

After saying that, he took the lead and stepped into the wooden box, and enthusiastically signaled Liu Jun, Fatty and the others to follow in.

Liu Jun and the fat man looked at each other, and a look of sudden enlightenment flashed in their eyes.

They have always thought this thing looks familiar. Now, isn’t it just an alternative elevator, except that it is made of wood, which is really unique. "

After everyone entered the wooden box, the young man gently pulled a handle on the wall of the wooden ladder. The handle was designed to be simple and exquisite, and it felt very comfortable in the hand. As he gently pulled it, the wooden box began to rise slowly, making a slight creaking sound, but still stable.

Liu Jun carefully observed the groove under the handle, where some clear numbers were engraved, from 3 to 19, each number represented a different floor. At this moment, the wooden handle was firmly on the number 19. He couldn't help but secretly marvel at the ingenious design, which was both practical and creative.

You know, this thing doesn't have any circuit boards or control programs, it's purely a mechanism.

As the wooden box slowly rose, the surrounding scenery was constantly changing. Through the gaps in the wooden fence, Liu Jun could see that the scenery outside was gradually becoming blurred and distant, while the interior of the wooden box always maintained a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Soon, the sturdy wooden box slowly reached the top floor of the towering building - the nineteenth floor.

The decoration style of the nineteenth floor is completely different from that of the first floor. It is filled with a strong Western magical atmosphere, and objects decorated with colored glaze are everywhere. The dazzling colored glaze shines charmingly under the light, adding a mysterious and dreamy atmosphere to the entire space.

All around are various decorations full of abstract art sense. They are of different shapes and unique ingenuity. Some are like winding dragons, some are like blooming flowers, and some are like misty clouds. People can't help but stop and immerse themselves in this wonderful world of art.

At the door of the wooden box, there stood several familiar figures to Liu Jun, headed by Qian Liu, the head of the Jinliufu Qiangui branch.

Shopkeeper Qian Liu was still fat, with a warm smile on his face. Standing next to him were Chen Shanhe from Danzong and Elder Bi You from Binggong.

"Liu Jun, Grand Master Liu, I haven't seen you for such a long time, I really miss you!" Qian Liu said excitedly with a smile on his face, taking a few steps forward with brisk steps.

"Manager Qian, long time no see!" Liu Jun responded with a polite smile.

Elder Chen and Elder Bi You were standing there. Liu Jun smiled and greeted the two elders happily.

The two elders looked Liu Jun up and down eagerly. When they saw that Liu Jun was not only safe and sound, but also had a ruddy complexion and no signs of injury on his body, their tense hearts finally relaxed and they couldn't help but smile with relief on their faces.

"Grand Elder Liu Jun, you really scared us old guys this time!" Chen Shanhe relaxed his brows and spoke with concern.

"Yes, Grand Elder Liu Jun, you must never act so impulsively next time!" Elder Bi You also echoed, his eyes full of worry.

"Alas, I really have no other choice. That damn eight-winged birdman was the one who provoked me first. I can't just stand by and watch him die!" Liu Jun gave a helpless smile and shook his head.

You know, the situation was extremely critical at that time, and the fat man was almost eaten by the group of ferocious bird people as delicious food. If he didn't rescue him, the fat man would be in danger of his life.

The two elders also showed an understanding look, but not everyone has Liu Jun's strength, courage, and luck.

This time, Liu Jun had many backup plans and made a lot of preparations, but he was still almost killed by the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor. You can imagine how dangerous it was.

"Haha, isn't everything okay now? Don't stand here, come on, let's go inside and sit down and chat." Shopkeeper Qian Liu smiled widely, made a warm invitation gesture, and led everyone inside.

"Gouzi, go and ask someone to bring up some fine refreshments," Shopkeeper Qian Liu turned and instructed the young man standing next to Liu Jun, his tone carrying a certain unquestionable majesty.

"Dad, can you please stop calling me like that!" The young man's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a look of helplessness and embarrassment, "You can either call me by my full name, Qian Quzi, or call me anything else, as long as it's not 'Gouzi'! That's so ugly, and it makes me lose face."

"I'm your father, I can call you whatever I want. How dare you talk back at me? Hurry and do it!" Shopkeeper Qian Liu frowned and scolded, his tone revealing a paternalistic style that brooked no room for rebuttal.

Qian Liu's son Qian Quzi, although very dissatisfied with this nickname in his heart, had no choice but to obey under his father's authority.

Everyone followed the footsteps of Qian Liu, the shopkeeper, and walked to a luxurious suite on the 19th floor. This suite was spacious and bright, and was decorated magnificently. There were several paintings and calligraphy by famous artists hanging on the wall, showing the owner's elegant taste.

The suite was furnished with comfortable sofas and a tea table, on which were placed exquisite tea sets and several plates of exquisite snacks. Everyone sat down one after another, and Shopkeeper Qian Liu personally poured tea for everyone, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious and warm.
