Chapter 409 Happy Hour (Two in One)
Shen Qingzhou did not forget that the treasure of Liancheng Jue was poisonous. He was also very cautious and had been protecting his body with his innate energy. However, he still wanted to give it a try. However, he was already prepared. If he was really poisoned, he still had five Tears of Guanyin, thirteen Tianshan Snow Lotuses, three pairs of Wangchuan Flowers, and a year's worth of Yangzhou slow internal force.

As for the Mysterious Ice and Green Fire Skill, it has no special effect on detoxification. As for the Shen Zhao Jing, it sounds like it can bring the dead back to life, but it has many limitations. Ding Dian had the Shen Zhao Jing, and he had mastered it to a great extent, but he was still poisoned to death by the Jin Bo Xun Hua.

He had already tried the poison of the Jinbo Xun Flower, and because he had ten doses of the antidote, he had specially removed his innate energy to test the poison on himself. It must be said that the Jinbo Xun Flower was indeed extremely powerful and hidden. It felt like an ordinary flower when first touched, but the reaction came later.

However, no matter how strong this poison is, it is on the same level as the green tea poison. Moreover, he tried it but did not eat it directly. Naturally, it would not enter the body directly like Li Xiangyi did, and it would be cleared by consuming Yangzhou's slow internal energy in three days.

However, he also knew that if the poisoning was severe, the consumption of Yangzhou's slow internal energy would be much greater. If it was like Li Xiangyi, one year's Yangzhou's slow internal energy would definitely not be enough.

Although it is said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, if there is a threat, one must be on guard against it while being fully prepared.

But after clicking on it, I found that there was nothing wrong with the Buddha statue. It seemed that they were the things in the secret room.

He observed carefully and then exerted force on one of the petals of the lotus. Then, there was a sound of a mechanism turning and a small hole appeared on the side of the lotus.

Shen Qingzhou looked at this scene. It is good to watch more TV dramas. This golden Buddha is clearly the treasure in the 2004 version of The Untold Story. They are exactly the same.

At that time, he loved watching TV dramas and martial arts. Although he didn't like the darkness of the TV drama, he was curious about the treasure.

He entered the secret room with the protection of his innate qi, and then, looking at the golden light, he finally understood why everyone was going crazy.

This secret room is not big, just the size of an ordinary house, but it is different when you see that normal houses are built with wooden pillars and stone bricks, but everything you see here is made of gold.

The pillars are made of gold, the houses are made of gold, the decorations are all made of gold, there are also human-sized crane shapes, all made of gold, and golden bottles.

There is also the most common big box, the one used by his escort agency to store gold and silver. It is also made of gold, but it is full of jewels.

What does it mean to be rich enough to rival a country? This is what it means to be rich enough to rival a country. You have assets worth billions, but it’s all pure cash.

However, Shen Qingzhou is an alien after all. If you really think about it, both Joy of Life and the world of Langya Bang belong to him, and he can keep it stable.

With a movement of the Wuji Knife in his hand, several strings of exquisite jewelry necklaces and more than ten gold ingots entered a wooden box he had specially prepared, and then left the secret room.

The mechanism made a sound again and the door of the secret room closed. Shen Qingzhou disguised himself and flew away.

When he arrived at a remote place, he swung his palm and a dragon-shaped Qi directly blasted a hole in the ground. He put the box in it and began to observe.

He withdrew the innate energy from his fingers, and as soon as they touched the gold ingot, the Shen Zhao Jing began to operate automatically. It seems that although the Shen Zhao Jing is not particularly good at detoxification, it can detect things that damage the body.

He also began to circulate his true Qi, and suddenly, a stream of true Qi appeared from his fingertips. The true Qi from the Shenzhaojing was so pure that it turned into mist, but this time the mist was black. After the black color passed, Shen Qingzhou knew that his poison had been cured.

He tried again, and the Shenzhaojing was still able to solve the problem. However, this was an experiment he had to be careful about. If a large number of people were poisoned, he didn't know if his skills would be enough.

He also understood that this poison was different from the Jinbo Xunhua. The Jinbo Xunhua was much more poisonous than this one and had great power. It could quickly destroy the heart and other things. Therefore, the Shenzhaojing was of little use.

However, this nameless poison destroys the meridians and nerves, which can be controlled by the Shenzhaojing. It is not like normal poisons that destroy the nervous system and is more hidden. If the person is less infected, he may still survive, but he will definitely go crazy.

Shen Qingzhou felt relieved since he knew that he was not particularly afraid of this kind of poison and it was just a little troublesome to deal with. However, this treasure was indeed very troublesome. The Buddha statue was too big to be taken away, and the secret room was poisonous. If he was left to deal with it, how long would it take him to finish it?

He took five jewelry necklaces and more than ten gold ingots and hurried home. It was only after arriving in Hengyang that he finished dealing with the toxin. He first treated it with lime water and then used his internal force from the Shenzhaojing to drive out the poison, which saved him a lot of trouble. If he had relied solely on internal force, he would have been exhausted.

He knew that unless you used human lives to fill the treasure, a gold ingot would have its toxins divided up by more than 20 people after passing through their hands, and the gold ingot could be used.

Either we find an antidote and get rid of it on a large scale, or we have to do it like moving rats. He can remove the poison, but he is not a money-grubber. If he does nothing every day, it will take a year or two to get rid of all the poison. The whole house will be full of poison, what's the point?

His return journey was slow, taking more than ten days, in order to remove all the toxins. Along the way, he chose places with few people to bury the lime water so as not to affect other creatures.

These gold ingots were all large ones. The kind of fifty taels that he liked to use was also the largest tael of silver commonly seen in government offices and money houses. Unless those ingots of several hundred or a thousand taels were specially made or used as treasury silver, otherwise, in this era, fifty taels was the largest regular tael of silver, followed by ten taels, which was a medium ingot, and then five taels.

Anything below five taels is no longer ingots, but silver bars, in strange shapes or forms. Anyway, as long as it is silver, it’s fine.

Of course, in this era, in addition to ingots, there are also horseshoe-shaped, pie-shaped, and strip-shaped coins. The shapes may be different in different countries, but ingots and horseshoe-shaped coins are more common.

In this world, the most commonly used currency is still copper coins, or some small silver bars, and some small transactions.

If the amount is over one hundred or one thousand taels, it is basically silver notes. It is very simple to get it, and the risk is given to the money house. What if you bring a bunch of gold ingots with you and get robbed?

There are quite a few people like Shen Qingzhou who directly use fifty taels, but there are indeed not many of them in the whole world.

Shen Qingzhou calculated that these thirteen gold ingots, plus the gold nugget that he had rolled into a ball, were the money he despised the most. This time, he brought back more than a thousand taels of gold.

Not to mention those strings of jewels. Anything that can be collected into the treasure is not trash and is definitely of great value. It's just that he doesn't know much about jewels.

I first went to Hengyang City, visited the Hengyang Escort Agency, checked and found nothing was wrong, then returned to Qixia Town.

It was already evening when we returned to Qixia Town. We could already see some signs of the Chinese New Year. Some big red lanterns had been hung up and the atmosphere was already there.

In this era, only big cities, such as the capitals of various countries or other large cities, have prosperous night markets.

The smaller the place, the quieter it is at night. It's not that we don't want prosperity, but prosperity can easily lead to accidents. Big cities have absolute control, which is not the case in ordinary places. Rather than having accidents, it is better to have a curfew.

However, nowadays, there are a lot more people at night than on weekdays, and some businesses have their doors wide open. In this age of inconvenient transportation, the Chinese New Year is not just about celebrating the New Year, it is about transactions. During the Chinese New Year, everyone is willing to spend money.

Shen Qingzhou's escort agency is also the busiest during this period. All major businesses are afraid of encountering strong men, or just to be on the safe side, they will definitely turn to the escort agency.

In the whole Pinggu County, there are only two escort agencies, Tianxia Escort Agency and Weiwu Escort Agency now. But everyone knows that the chief escort of Tianxia Escort Agency is a martial arts expert, and Chief Zhao of Weiwu Escort Agency is inferior to him.

Moreover, Chief Escort Zhao of the Weiwu Escort Agency said that Chief Escort Shen was the leader of the escort business in Hengyang, which was recognized. Although Shen Qingzhou himself did not take it seriously, he killed Shangguan Yundun and became good friends with Hengshan Liu Zhengfeng and Hengyang Chief Constable Xie Budong.

Ping An Ticket House, Datong Escort Agency, etc. all recognized him. In this era of martial arts masters, martial arts was the key. If he wasn't the leader, who would be? Even though he didn't have much interaction with other escort agencies, he was familiar with Chief Escort Zhao. Under such circumstances, the business of Tianxia Escort Agency must be good. Of course, they didn't need him to go out. In this era, it was rare to go thousands of miles away to place orders.

At most, they would go to Hengyang City, or even not to Hengyang City, but to Guangyang Prefecture. Shen Qingzhou could also escort the convoy to these places, but his price was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Only banknote shops and money houses, which were of high value in themselves, could hire him.

Shen Qingzhou's current starting price for escorting a caravan is over a thousand taels, and this is also to avoid him having to do everything.

He returned to the escort agency, and naturally nothing would happen.

……

As the night went on, the number of customers at Yuchanlou decreased, and the number of people at Tongfu Inn opposite also decreased.

Sai Diaochan frowned. What happened today? Why hasn’t the account book been delivered yet? Is she still busy?

She now took over the account book of Tianxia Escort Agency very naturally, and the accountant naturally had no objection. After all, it was confirmed by the chief escort, and everything had to be supervised.

She has to go to the escort agency to reconcile accounts every few days. These days, because the escort agency is operating so frequently, she basically reconciles accounts every day.

But her Yuchanlou was also busy. As the New Year was approaching, not only the escort agency, but also her teahouse and the Tongfu Inn across the street, all the business was picking up. As the New Year was approaching, after a year of hard work, everyone wanted to enjoy themselves.

Especially her teahouse, which is a high-consumption place. On weekdays, not many people from the town come here, except for some noble ladies and rich people. But these days, some ordinary people also come here to see what it is like.

Because of this, she travels between the two places very frequently. If she can't leave here, the account books have to be delivered there. There are a lot of things to do these days, and she has to reconcile the accounts every day.

But even if it wasn't sent over, she would definitely not go there. Although the escort agencies gathered here not far away, they were on the outskirts of Qixia Town, and there definitely wasn't enough space in the center to build an escort agency.

She didn't want to go out at night, or rather, it was a habit that everyone in this era had since childhood. Something might happen. It wouldn't be a big problem during the day, so she thought about going over to take a look tomorrow.

Yuchan Tower was closed, as was Tongfu Inn. Only lanterns were left, and Sai Diaochan returned to her room.

then.

"You're back?" Sai Diaochan was surprised to see him lying on her bed, flipping through a book with one hand and occasionally putting a piece of peach preserves into his mouth with the other hand.

Sai Diaochan was very happy. This was also the advantage of this era. Although others didn't know it, she had actually followed Shen Qingzhou and naturally had a deep love for him.

The most important thing is that although Shen Qingzhou didn't say it, he has become her support. Not only did he help her recover her losses before, but later, he also gave her the Yuchan Tower.

The Yuchan Tower was very expensive. The Tongfu Inn opposite and the Shangru Inn, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, were bought by Tong Xiangyu for a night-shining pearl worth no less than eight hundred taels, not including the title deed, and they were basically on the verge of bankruptcy.

The price of her Yuchanlou was naturally not low, but she herself did not have much money, and she barely opened the Yuchanlou by borrowing the remaining lease period.

Relying on Shen Qingzhou's reputation, no one would bully her anymore. With some remaining snow lotus scraps, her business was doing well.

This time when Shen Qingzhou came back from Xi Country, he asked her to buy the deed to Yuchan Tower. It was given to her. If she was still not satisfied, she would not be a human being. She is not a real fairy who would take it for granted no matter how much money he gave her.

"When did you come back?" Sai Diaochan came to Shen Qingzhou, pinched the candied fruit, fed Shen Qingzhou personally, and asked.

"I went back to the escort agency two hours ago, and they were about to send you the account book, so I came here." Shen Qingzhou pointed to the table.

"I was wondering why there was no letter today. I was thinking of going over to check early tomorrow morning." Sai Diaochan said.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be too tired." Shen Qingzhou said.

"It's okay, I really like dealing with these things. Is this storybook good? I specially asked Manager Wei from Hanyuanzhai to get a new batch of it." Sai Diaochan said. She knew that Shen Qingzhou liked to have fun, so she specially prepared these.

It was not the first time that Shen Qingzhou had read these. They were just some ordinary swordsman stories, similar to Legends of the Past and Present, with illustrations. They were fine for entertainment, although they were very old-fashioned. After all, he had received too much information. For example, could he understand traditional Chinese characters? He was a great talent in the world of Langya Bang.

"It's okay. Isn't there a later part in Xiucai's novel about the scholar with the magic pen?" Shen Qingzhou thought of this. He was deceived by Aunt Fan because of the novel. Speaking of which, Old Xing probably won't be back for the New Year.

"You said you wanted to write, but you have no inspiration. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you, hot pot or scrambled eggs." Sai Diaochan said as she massaged Shen Qingzhou's legs.

"No need. I went to my cousin's place and he steamed some egg custard for me. It's just right. I haven't had hot pot for a while. Let's have this for lunch tomorrow." Shen Qingzhou said. When he came, he happened to see Li Dazui cooking for himself, so he ate a bowl of it.

"Okay, I'll buy the freshest meat tomorrow. The meat in the kitchen has been there for a few days." It would make people hate you if you said that. What do you mean by "several days"? It's not spoiled.

However, Sai Diaochan couldn't bear to let Shen Qingzhou eat bad food, and since Shen Qingzhou himself was not short of money, his personal consumption had always been very high.

"What is this?" Sai Diaochan saw another package.

"That's the gain from this trip. You can do with it. By the way, leave me a few ingots. I haven't used gold directly yet." Shen Qingzhou said directly.

"What is this?" She asked in surprise, looking at the golden ball and the thirteen gold ingots. She knew that Shen Qingzhou's martial arts skills were very powerful and it was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. However, this was a bit too exaggerated. Then she saw two necklaces, a jade bead, and two bracelets, all of which were made of jade.

"You can keep it and wear it." Shen Qingzhou didn't take it to heart. Although he knew it was worth a lot of money, he was just doing an experiment and took it casually.

"The style isn't like the current ones, but it looks nice." These things look very valuable. Sai Diaochan has good taste.

But since Shen Qingzhou gave it to her, she was happy, not only because of its value, but also because of its recognition.

"Master, I will listen to you tonight." Perhaps because she was too excited, Sai Diaochan started to brag.

"You said it." Shen Qingzhou's eyes lit up, and he was as obedient as Diao Chan. However, there was one bad thing, which was that there were some things she could not accept. However, Shen Qingzhou came from reality and knew a lot.

A night of happy hour.
