Raising the Demon

Chapter 387
When the cloud ship flew over Zaitianfu, Zi Baifeng and others lay on the railing and looked down. Compared with the well-ordered Xijing, Zaitianfu undoubtedly had more life atmosphere and was more lively.

The two cloud ships stopped one by one. After all, King Zhuan had a special status, and an official came to lead the handover. Zi Baifeng and the others did not have this kind of treatment, but he had already taken care of everything.

"Baifeng, if you have nowhere to go, you can stay with us in the post house temporarily." King Zhuan invited.

In fact, Zi Baifeng was already prepared, and declined King Zhuan's kindness.

"Are you guys coming with us, or..." General Yu asked how many members of the Dangui League were following Zi Baifeng.

Chi Yanbai hurriedly said: "We are with Bai Feng."

General Yu shook his head, and turned around to see that these fathers had already gone to their own business, and obviously knew that their children would not be able to stay when they were old enough.

"Ouye, you're free at last!" When General Yu and the others walked away, Chi Yanbai cheered and jumped three feet high.

"Freedom?" Zi Baifeng snickered, Chi Yanbai thought too simply.

Sure enough, before he finished cheering, his ears were twisted by Chi Yanzi. Before his old sister got married, he probably wouldn't even think about having real freedom.

"Brother, what are your plans next?" Qi Hanshan asked.

"Find a place to live temporarily." Zi Baifeng said, "A friend of mine should have already prepared a place for us."

The friends mentioned by Zi Baifeng are actually Elder Longzhao and others. Ying Longzong is the biggest force in Zaitian Prefecture. The news of Zi Baifeng's arrival must not be hidden from them. Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, there was a A monk in an ordinary Taoist robe came under the cloud boat, Zi Baifeng looked down, who was it not Xiang Anbai?
"Ready to go." Zi Baifeng greeted, and everyone who had been ready for a long time immediately got off the boat with their luggage on their shoulders.

When they first arrived in a strange place, everyone was nervous, even Xiao Shitou and the three little cranes followed obediently.

"My lord!" After seeing Zi Baifeng, Xiang Anbai's face flashed with joy, he took a step forward, bowed to the ground, and said: "The carriage is ready, please step into the carriage, my lords, what's the matter?" If you need to move, just tell your subordinates."

Although Xiang Anbai didn't wear the Taoist robe of the Yinglong Sect, his cultivation base and demeanor are all top choices. He is now an inner disciple, and he is a direct disciple. There are always dozens of outer disciples under his command. Xiang Anbai waved forward, these people came from all directions to help carry the luggage, Zi Baifeng took a look, hey, most of these people have met once, and they also know who Zi Baifeng is, Zi Baifeng looked In the past, they bowed and said hello one by one.

Zhu Zi and the others also knew about these people, so they gave them all the things in their hands, and walked forward with empty hands, but Qi Hanshan and the others were a little embarrassed.

When he came out this time, Zi Baifeng brought Yan Xiaolei with him, and he was surrounded by three little guys, Xiaoshitou, Xiaopan, and Yan Xiaolei, followed by Zijian and his wife, and behind him was Honggu. There are three members of her mother's family, and Hui'er went to a strange place, holding on to her mother's hand tightly, her eyes gurgling non-stop.

Erhei and Taxue followed behind, chatting enthusiastically about something.

"Hey, what a great place!" Yan Lao Wu followed behind the family, surrounded by three chubby kids who were almost the same size, he didn't dare to show off his crane cloud car here, Let the three little ones take human form with them.

Zi Baifeng rolled his eyes, this is still in the airport, so it looks like a good place?Sure enough, the moon abroad is relatively round.

Followed by Zhu Zi and his apprentice Guo Dali, the two also looked like bumpkins entering the city, looking around.

Behind them, there are Feijianzi and others, and then there are many disciples of Niaoshuguan, each of them is not completely unfamiliar with the outer disciples of Yinglongzong, and there are many people who don't know each other, carrying luggage together , exchanged pleasantries with each other, and got acquainted after a while.

After walking for a full 10 minutes, they walked out of the vast airport. There was a carriage parked outside. Everyone got on the carriage, and the mighty convoy drove directly to the interior of Zaitian Mansion.

When they first arrived in your place, everyone including Zi Baifeng was filled with excitement and curiosity, and there was also an unspeakable fear and uneasiness, which was the instinctive rejection and fear of unfamiliar environments.

Zi Baifeng's family rode in a larger carriage. Zi Baifeng raised the curtain and looked out. Although there were people coming and going, no matter in terms of language or clothing, this place had the same characteristics as Mengcheng and Xijing. different.

"This is really thousands of miles away..." Yan Lao Wu had never been to such a far place in his life, and he muttered slightly, with a slight sigh and emotion in his tone, and he couldn't tell if he regretted the slap on the head at the beginning. come so far.

"Master Wu, what you said is wrong, this place is a hundred thousand miles away." Xiao Shitou boldly corrected him, and Yan Lao Wu stretched out his hand and slapped him on the forehead: "As far as you know, clever ghost!"

"I've been to Xijing!" Xiao Shitou puffed out his chest, showing that he was well-informed and had a broad vision, which was not comparable to that of ordinary people like Yan Lao Wu.

"This place is much farther than Xijing." Yan Xiaolei couldn't see it, and muttered to him, his old man had never been to Xijing.

Everyone laughed, and the unspeakable feeling in their hearts dissipated a lot.

"No matter where you go, you still have one nose and two eyes." Hong Guniang said, "I think the people here are fine except for the clothes they wear. They can understand what they say, right?"

That's right, although they are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, they are all under the command of the Kingdom of Heaven. This world is not closed and does not communicate. There are also means of transportation that can span hundreds of thousands of miles in an instant. In different places, although the tone of voice has different Slightly different, but still using the same language.

"After I settle down, I'll go for a walk with the drum on my back." Hong Guniang is adventurous and novelty-loving. If she was an ordinary woman, she would not choose to travel around like this even if she was forced by her livelihood.

"I want to go too!" Xiao Shitou hurriedly raised his hand to sign up, he is not afraid of anything.

Yan Xiaolei curled his lips, unwilling to talk to them, he was Xiao Shitou's little follower before, after a year or two, he no longer looked down on Xiao Shitou, no wonder, Xiao Shitou is still naughty all day long A mischievous little troublemaker, but he has long been the parent officer of many people and is in charge of one side.

"Xiao Lei also went to play along." Zi Baifeng reached out and touched his head, he lowered his head, blushed, and responded in a low voice: "Well, yes, sir..."

In fact, he really wanted to go, and he wanted to go crazy.

He raised his eyes and peeked at Xiaoshitou, who was making faces at him.

Xiao Pan shook his body, he had long wanted to go out and see the city with his own eyes, and the pen in his hand had been scribbling on the notebook just now.

"I also want to go out for a stroll to see if there is a suitable store." Zi Wu said with a smile, Zi Jian's expression was calm and his tone was firm: "Yeah."

Yan Lao Wu over there was thinking about something, suddenly laughed, and said: "I remembered, we have been to places farther than this, we have been flying in the sky for several days, Bai Feng What are you talking about, sitting on the ground and traveling [-] miles a day, the places we have been to are not much farther than here."

After figuring this out, he chuckled, as if the uneasiness just now had been swept away.

In the blink of an eye, everyone had plans and goals. Zi Baifeng looked left and right, and smiled softly. The people around him are still the same. Everyone has their own needs and hopes, and has their own plans and goals. The goal will never be annihilated or ignored.

This is the case everywhere.

"What if someone bullies us?" Huier suddenly asked.

"Then I will try my best to continue to be everyone's backer." Zi Baifeng patted himself on the chest.

Became a powerful backer who made people dare not bully their family no matter where they went.

"Brother is the most powerful!" Hui'er opened her eyes wide and nodded repeatedly. She still remembered that this brother was the most powerful, and all the bad guys were chased away.

Everyone laughed.

Xiang Anbai sat next to the driver in front, listening to the chatter and laughter in the carriage, he suddenly felt a little emotional.

He wholeheartedly pursued the Tao, and for this reason, through many competitions, he became one of the outer disciples of the Yinglongzong, and after going through many hardships, he finally became an inner disciple of the Yinglongzong, but the process was completely different from what he had imagined. .

The twists and turns, all of these are for the sake of seeking the Tao.

And his family, his past, and his other insignificant dreams have long been abandoned by him.

What is the purpose of seeking the Tao in the first place?Why sacrifice so much?

But he couldn't remember it.

Why think so much?Not everyone in this world is qualified to live carefree.

As Zi Baifeng said, he came to be the backer of these people.

And he Xiang Anbai did not have the backing that would make him carefree, so he could only do his best to struggle to survive in this world.

A carriage passed through the streets of Zaitianfu.

Zaitianfu is like a drawer of steamed buns of different sizes, lacking in planning and intervention. Different gathering areas have been developed according to ethnicity, function, terrain, etc. Walking on the road, pedestrians are sometimes dense, sometimes sparse, and the environment is sometimes noisy. It was suddenly quiet, and Zi Baifeng, who was used to being well-organized and everything according to the plan, was not used to it.

"This city, tsk tsk, if you talk about urban planning, it can't even compare with our city." Mengcheng is an old city, and the shadow of planning can still be seen.

"Zaitian Prefecture is located on the border, and there are many ethnic groups. There are mountain barbarians in the south of Zaitian Prefecture, and nomadic herdsmen in the north. Even in Zaitian Mansion, there are several different ethnic groups. They like to live in groups and don't want to Being bound, Zai Tianzhou is just an insignificant city in the capital of the Heavenly Dynasty. Those who come here to be officials are all focused on transferring away as soon as possible, and they don't care much about governing the city, so it's not surprising that it is so chaotic now. , 400 years ago, Zaitianzhou was entrusted to Marquis Wuyun, and it became better, but there are too many problems left over from history, which are difficult to solve, and this is the only way to go." Xiang Anbai explained in front , "It is said that Marquis Wu Yun is also old, and the fiefdoms of the kingdom of heaven cannot be passed on to future generations. No one knows what will happen by then, so the current officials have started to fish again."

Zi Baifeng was a little surprised when he heard his explanation, and said, "Anbai, I didn't expect you to be so insightful about this."

Most of the monks are not particularly interested in politics. After all, most of them live in the mountains, and it is difficult for ordinary people to influence them.

Xiang Anbai rubbed his head, chuckled, and said: "To tell the truth, I was born in Zaitian Prefecture. Before cultivating immortality, I even passed the examination of scholar, but then I was abandoned."

"No wonder." Zi Baifeng nodded, "If I have time, I would like to ask you for advice."

"My lord is too serious." Xiang Anbai did not dare to ask Zi Baifeng for advice, "However, I am quite familiar with Zaitian Prefecture. If you have any orders, just say it."

Walking along the way, the carriages are all pulled by wildebeests. When the road is good, they will let go of the speed and gallop for a while, but after all, Zai Tianfu is too big, and it took nearly an hour to walk all the way, and then said to the shore: "Arrived!"

He explained with some embarrassment: "I chose this yard. Although it is far away from the airport, it is near the center. Not far from the east is the Gongyuan, and to the west are the various government agencies of Zaitianfu, including Zhizhou. The government is all there, so I chose this place."

"Not bad." Zi Baifeng nodded, "It can be seen that you have put a lot of thought into it, thank you."

"It's my honor to serve you." Xiang Anbai said, "My lord, I have simply arranged some servants in the mansion. If you are not satisfied, I will change them."

"That's all right." Zi Baifeng nodded, and after everything is settled, even if some of the servants have some evil plans, they can't escape his eyes and ears, and they can change them when the time comes.

As they spoke, the carriage finally stopped, and everyone looked out the window. A small but rather simple courtyard was in front of them, with blue bricks, red tiles, white walls and rich doors. The plaque hanging on the door was still empty. There is no writing.

Zi Baifeng found that Xiang Anbai was more careful than he imagined.

Hearing a sound outside the door, the door opened, and an old housekeeper opened the door with a smile on his face.

Zi Baifeng got off the car, and the old housekeeper immediately took two steps forward, bowed and said: "Master, madam, young masters and ladies, welcome back, the journey has been hard all the way, and the little old man is the housekeeper, so the master calls me Ah Fu." it is good."

It's Uncle Fu again... Zi Baifeng thought of that nagging Uncle Fu in Xijing, and immediately rolled his eyes in his heart.

"Thank you, Uncle Fu." Zijian nodded with a smile, and said a few words to Uncle Uncle, but Little Shitou was already howling and rushing into the yard.

Now that the group of people got off, they stopped getting in the car and followed Uncle Fu from the main entrance, and Uncle Fu introduced them all the way.

This yard is twice as big as Zi Baifeng's in Xijing, but there is no running water, only a pond was dug in the yard, some lotus roots were planted, and some koi were raised.

Zaitianzhou is relatively north, and the climate is colder than Mengcheng and Xijing. There are four months of winter in a year. Now is a rare good time in Zaitianzhou. All kinds of flowers are blooming and fragrant.

There are three entrances and nine courtyards in this courtyard. Besides the main entrance, there are several side entrances, and there are hundreds of buildings. With such a courtyard in Zaitian Mansion, one can enter the ranks of the rich.

Of course, if you want to buy this yard, you must have used Xiang Anbai or Elder Longzhao and others to use Yinglongzong's relationship, otherwise you will never be able to buy such a good location and a good yard.

Zi's ​​family loves quietness, and they live in the quietest backyard, the middle courtyard with three entrances, and behind it is a secluded path, which can accommodate cars and horses, but there are not many pedestrians, which is the meaning of quietness in the midst of hustle and bustle.

Yan Lao Wu, Zhu Zi, Yan Xiaolei and others lived with them. All these years, everyone was like a family. My own children treat it with no slightest neglect.

Feijianzi, Feihongzi, and others from Danguimeng lived in the left courtyard, and the others divided up the rest of the place. It was quite easy for more than a hundred people to live there.

That day, everyone settled down, tidied up and went to bed early. They had just arrived in a strange place. Although they were not physically tired, they felt an unspeakable exhaustion mentally, which was hard to get rid of.

Of course, before falling asleep, Zi Baifeng reached the gate, and with a swipe of a pen, the word Zifu appeared on the plaque.

Early the next morning, before Zi Baifeng got up, he heard General Yu's voice: "Well, Bai Feng, this boy, has prepared such a spacious yard! Uncle, I shared a bed with someone else last night! "

The posthouse in Zaitianfu didn’t accept many people at the state-guest level. Except for those from the royal family who were arranged better, everyone else had to sleep with others. Although as a monk, he didn’t care about such small environmental problems. But people are more angry than others. Seeing Zi Baifeng and the others enjoying such treatment, how can General Yu not be jealous, he patted his thigh and said: "No, I want to live here too!"

Zijian was talking with General Yu when Zibaifeng came out, stretched his waist, greeted him indistinctly, and said, "If I were you, I would go find a courtyard and buy it first, and in a few days it will be bought." Today, the housing price of Zaitianfu will definitely skyrocket, so if you buy one first, you can make a lot of money whether it is for your own use or for rent.”

Zi Baifeng knew very well how much political and economic benefits a grand event can bring. Well, that's why there are such courtyards to live in. After a while, even if Yinglongzong's signboard is used, it may not work well.

The capital in this world is not as sensitive as the capital in the previous world. It has not come to speculate yet, but when there are signs, businessmen will definitely flock to it. By that time, waiting for idlers to wait, I am afraid that they will not be able to afford houses.

Zi Baifeng didn't mean to say it, but the listener meant it. General Yu slapped his thigh and said, "Exactly. Why didn't I think that what's the point of being crowded in the post house? You reminded me."

"Brother Zi is really insightful." Qi Hanshan and others were also present, and they suddenly realized when they heard the words, "We also have to go shopping."

"Can you really make money?" Yan Laowu happened to pass by the door, and immediately walked in after hearing this, with a look of bewilderment on his face.
