After leaving the dark hut and walking in the dark alley, Lu Shengzhong cast a spell to dispel the alcohol in his body and expel a strong smell of alcohol.
As he walked, he tore off one layer of mask on his face, and there was another layer underneath. He also took off his coat, and there was another colorful coat inside. He took off the coat and threw it into the passing ditch without caring.
As long as he walked out of here, Chao Shenghai couldn't figure out who he was. When the incident happened, even if the Wanshou Sect conducted a personal search, it would be impossible to find him among so many people in the entire Wanxiang City.
As for whether Chao Shenghuai will succeed, that's not what he worries about. It's best if he succeeds. If he can't succeed, it's also good that Niu Youdao and Wanshoumen will conflict. He can also give an explanation to Shao Pingbo and prove that he has tried his best.
After going around for a while, I walked to the exit of another alley and paused briefly to make sure no one was passing by outside before I turned out.
Walking on the streets at night, through half of Vientiane City, I returned to my rented house. When I opened the door, I took off the sign hanging on the door, which said "for rent".
He put up this sign himself. Yes, he rented the house himself, but he later rented it out.
Of course, this was just his previous plan. In order to find a suitable target, after finding Chao Shenghai, he no longer planned to hang up this sign.
As he pushed the door open, a question suddenly came from behind him, "Friend, how much does it cost to rent this house for a day?"
Lu Shengzhong looked back and saw a thin man in black standing by the roadside. He replied, "One hundred gold coins a day!"
In fact, when he rented it, the original landlord only paid ten gold coins a day.
Ten gold coins a day is already a sky-high price, but the market is like this. Normally, Vientiane City is deserted. Only during the spirit beast meeting will a large number of people gather. Every spirit beast meeting is a good opportunity for the people of Vientiane City to make a fortune. Whoever has the conditions can Home will not be missed.
Of course, under normal circumstances, an ordinary house would cost less than ten gold coins a day, but the location of this house is indeed elegant and quiet. Although the house is not big, the internal environment and layout are pretty good, which is why it was rented for such a high price.
He didn't want to speculate at this time and make a profit from the price difference. The reason for finding this nice house to sublet is also very simple. The person who is willing to pay a hundred gold coins a day to rent it will not be a simple person. He should have considerable strength. Niu Youdao caused trouble there.
Looking around for targets and proactively approaching them to leak information is risky and can easily arouse suspicion. As a landlord, it is much simpler and safer to accidentally leak information.
As for whether such subletting will make the original landlord unhappy, there is no need to worry. What I do with it after renting it is my business. I will not take over your house, nor will I destroy your house, let alone take it with you. Walking away is not a mistake.
The only worry is whether I can rent it out.
"Okay!" The man in black smiled and nodded, "One hundred is a hundred."
After hearing this, Lu Shengzhong turned around and took a serious look at the other party. He just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that a wealthy person would come to rent it.
He didn't mind causing another trouble for Niu Youdao.
Lu Shengzhong stood by the door and made an invitation gesture.
The man in black turned around and waved his hand. The sound of horse hooves was heard in the darkness in the distance, and a white trace was coming towards this place.
Gradually, the white trace became clear. It was a woman in white clothes like snow. Her face was half covered with a white gauze scarf. Her figure and appearance were quite charming, and she looked very pretty. Four horses followed the woman, one horse was empty, and the other three people riding on it were all dressed in black like the people in front of them.
The four horses stopped at the door. Under the lantern in front of the door, the woman in white with half-hidden face and picturesque features looked at the courtyard of the house coldly, and then led a few people to get off their horses.
After Lu Shengzhong led a few people inside, he first showed them the environment of the house.
A few moon butterflies shone brightly. At the beginning of the inspection, the woman in white asked lightly, "I don't know your surname?"
Lu Shengzhong replied: "Zhu Jiang!"
He answered with the name of the original landlord, and it was impossible for him to give his own name.
After going around the whole house, the woman in white didn't have any objections. Her subordinates drafted a contract on her behalf and prepared to pay and deliver the goods on the spot.
Glancing at the man in black who was drawing up the contract, Lu Shengzhong smiled and asked, "I wonder how many of you came to Vientiane City to make a fortune, right?"
The lean man leading the four men in black asked with a smile: "Why do you see it?"
Lu Shengzhong chuckled and said: "It is normal for visitors from outside to sell exotic birds and animals to our Ten Thousand Beast Sect. Many people make a fortune from this. I just heard an interesting thing. The T-shaped room on the second floor of the Tianyun Inn in the city is There is a bear demon.”
"Fun?" The thin man asked curiously, "Does the bear demon have anything to do with fun?"
Lu Shengzhong: "I heard that it was not an ordinary bear demon, but the Golden King Bear in the "Alien Beasts". It was said that it was deceived by a colleague. The bear demon was pitiful, and he didn't even know that he was deceived. However, I'm afraid that group of people may not be able to succeed. The truly distinguished guests must have been invited by our Wanshou Sect to live in a separate courtyard on the mountain. How can they live in Wanxiang City, let alone an ordinary inn? Even I don't think so. After knowing this news, it is inevitable that no one will try to get involved. After all, the price for offering us the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will be at least one million gold coins! It is normal for such a windfall to make people excited."
He was hinting that Niu Youdao didn't have much strength here, so he could go grab it with confidence.
The thin man glanced at the woman in white and saw that she was also listening, so he added: "On the territory of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, who else can win over the Ten Thousand Beast Gate?"
Lu Shengzhong waved his hand and said: "How can our Ten Thousand Beast Sect do anything so evil as to take advantage of others? If we really do this, once our reputation is ruined, who will dare to send strange birds and animals to our door in the future?"
The contract was drawn up, Lu Shengzhong read it and confirmed it was correct. The money was collected and both parties signed the contract. The contract relationship was concluded.
Pretending to be the landlord, Lu Shengzhong said a few words of caution and asked the guests to take a rest early, before Lu Shengzhong took his leave.
He doesn't plan to come back after leaving, and he won't ask for the deposit he gave to the landlord again.
The lean man sent Lu Shengzhong out of the house. After closing the door and coming back, he saw the woman in white standing under the eaves looking up at the bright moon. He cupped his hands and said, "Mountain Master, please rest early."
The woman in white said slowly: "He is not Zhu Jiang!"
The lean man was surprised, "Why did the mountain master decide that he was not the one?"
The woman in white didn't explain the reason, "There's something fishy about this. Let's go and keep an eye on it."
The thin man didn't ask too many questions, so he waved to someone, and they left quickly.
The woman in white stepped down the steps, walking gracefully under the moonlight, looking at the yard, with a confused look in her eyes as she recalled the past.
Asked her why she knew that person was not Zhu Jiang, it was because she knew Zhu Jiang's ancestors.
Zhu Jiang's ancestor was Zhu Chicheng, the former head of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and she was Zhu Chicheng's spiritual pet back then, and Zhu Chicheng was her master.
That was more than a hundred years ago. Zhu Chicheng explored the "Die Dream World" and never returned. He did not come out until the Butterfly Dream World was closed. When the Butterfly Dream Realm opened again, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect sent a large number of personnel to search, but they lost troops and generals, but Zhu Chicheng was not found.
It was impossible for the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to remain without a leader until someone took his place. As a little girl at the time, she was very unhappy and made a lot of noise, and did not understand the mood of the successor. For Zhu Chicheng's sake, although he didn't do anything to her, he expelled her from the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate.
Later, when she grew up and became successful in cultivation, every time the Butterfly Dream World opened, she would come looking for it just like she did now.
As for Zhu Chicheng's descendants, it is obviously impossible to have the same glory as when Zhu Chicheng was in power, but every time she came, she would quietly do some charity and give some money. It's the same this time, that's why she would stay even if it cost one hundred gold coins a day. How could she not know the current landlord Zhu Jiang
I don’t know how long I have been recalling the past under the moonlight, but the moon is gradually slanting.
The thin man came back under the moonlight. When he met, he immediately handed over his hand and reported: "Mountain Master, there is indeed something wrong with that 'Zhu Jiang'. He changed his whereabouts and appearance one after another, and finally stayed in an inn. His beard was watching over there, do you want to take it?" Already?"
The woman in white said coldly: "Do you want to cause trouble for yourself? Is Vientiane City a place where you can do anything casually? You haven't figured out the matter yet, can you just do it blindly? Keep an eye on the situation first before talking."
The lean man responded quickly, "Yes!"
The woman in white said, "He seems to have ulterior motives in mentioning the Golden King Bear on purpose. Go and find out the situation, and be aware of it first to prevent any unexpected events."
…
Early in the morning, Guan Fangyi opened the door and came in. Niu Youdao was taking a wet towel to clean his face.
Guan Fangyi smoothed down her skirt, sat on a chair aside and crossed her legs to look.
The wet towel was thrown back into the basin, and Yuanfang took the basin and went out.
While looking at his own image in the mirror, Niu Youdao asked, "Isn't the Shangqing Sect here yet?"
Guan Fangyi said, "No!"
Niu Youdao sneered, "It seems that Elder Tang is very stubborn and refuses to give in. Haha, it's best to die rather than surrender."
He guessed that Tang Yi and the others had not been able to persuade Tang Susu, otherwise they would have come to their door long ago.
"A grown man looks in the mirror endlessly, like a woman, he can't stand it."
"I misunderstood, I just don't have enough time to comb my hair."
Guan Fangyi put her legs down and stood up again and walked over, "A notice has been posted in the city. Watch the stars at the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate at night and confirm that the Butterfly Dreamland will open in the afternoon. Do you really want to run in and take a look?"
After confirming that his bun was straight, Niu Youdao straightened up in front of the mirror and said with a smile: "If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait until the next ten years. You are already here, how can you not take a chance to see it."
The so-called Butterfly Dream World is said to have been the palace of Emperor Shang Song of the Wu Dynasty a long time ago. After Shang Song disappeared, and before Empress Wu Lige disappeared, a large formation was used to seal off the Butterfly Dream World. Perhaps there is one thing that Li Ge did not expect. During the solar eclipse every ten years, under the influence of the power of the star array, there will be a flaw in the blockade formation, and the entrance to the Butterfly Dream World will be briefly opened for three days.
The entrance is within the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and the spirit beast meeting is scheduled during this period. It can also be regarded as a way for the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to entertain guests from all over the world and open their eyes to visitors from all over the world.
"Who is so sneaky?"
Yuan Gang's shout suddenly came from outside.
Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows and gave Guan Fangyi a wink.
At this moment, Yuanfang's voice came again, "Hey, it's you!"
When Niu Youdao heard this, he immediately turned around and went out to take a look, wanting to see who Yuanfang knew.
In the corridor outside, a thin man was stopped by Yuan Gang, staring at Yuan Fang who appeared from behind.
Yuan Fang seemed unable to remember the other party's name, so he patted his forehead and said confusedly, "Who are you from Duyun Mountain, who blocked our way and robbed us."
