On the street, a luxuriously decorated carriage was driving forward smoothly and quickly. Some pedestrians saw it and quickly retreated. Because they all knew very well that the owner of this carriage was the Liang family, the prefect of Hangzhou, and they could not afford to provoke the people if they did not fight with the officials.
In the spacious carriage, Liang Chuan, the son of Liang Siyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou, sat silently with his eyes closed. Beside him, Jiang Chen was looking at the car with great interest. Although this carriage is not as luxurious as the chariot he rode in the Mingyue World in the Qin Dynasty, it is very exquisite. The tables and chairs are of the highest quality, and there is a faint fragrance lingering in the carriage.
"Well, it is actually the finest agarwood. In the mortal world, it is at least a treasure worth thousands of gold. It is actually used to make carriages. It seems that if the Liang family itself is not rich, then Liang Siyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou, is not an ordinary greedy person. Corruption, it’s so corrupt!”
As thoughts emerged in his mind, a cold and stern light suddenly appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes. To be honest, it wasn't that he was biased against officials, it was just that some officials were too much, which made him murderous. Although Jiang Chen had heard a little bit about Liang Siyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou, he had not been in Qiantang for a long time, so he didn't know much about it. If he hadn't heard a few students from Bishan Academy talking about it a few days ago, he had said that Shi went to the Liang family and sensed a strong treasure aura. He didn't even know that the Liang family actually had such a treasure as the Hanyue Pearl.
Although he didn't know what kind of treasure the Hanyue Orb was, the pure cold air emitted from it made Jiang Chen think of the Red Fire God Orb in his inner world for no reason. The two seemed to have opposite attributes. This made him even more determined to obtain the Hanyue Orb.
As early as a few days ago, he had been paying attention to inquire about the Liang family. He learned that the current residence of the Liang family, Liang Siyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou, had moved back to his hometown in Qiantang from Lin'an City for a temporary residence because of a serious illness. He had been waiting for a suitable person. When he got the chance to make a move, he originally thought he would need to make some calculations, but he didn't expect that Liang Siyuan's son Liang Chuan actually came to his door by himself, which saved him a lot of trouble.
As the saying goes, if God doesn't take it, he will suffer the consequences; when the time comes, if he doesn't do it, he will suffer the disaster.
This is almost equivalent to the Liang family sending the Hanyue Orb into his hands. If he fails to seize this opportunity, wouldn't he have wasted hundreds of years of practice
The sound of rolling wheels came and went, but it did not affect Jiang Chen in the slightest. He closed his eyes to rest, calmed his mind, and gradually entered a magical state of concentration. In the Purple Mansion on the altar, the stars in the sky were slowly rotating, and each The bright spots are like stars in the sky, radiating with divine light.
Taking in and out of breath, refining the Qi, refining the Qi into the spirit, the divine essence was restored to its original state, and turned into Jiang Chen's magic power. He sat quietly like this, a look of majestic treasure gradually appeared on his face, seemingly It is inconspicuous, but it has an intimidating aura that is intimidating.
"This Taoist priest is really not that simple!" Seeing Jiang Chen swaggering into meditation in front of him, Liang Chuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, because all along, almost everyone traveling with him was People are basically restless and uneasy, fearing that they will lose etiquette in every move and be looked down upon by themselves. But this young Taoist priest from outside actually didn't take himself seriously at all. It could be said that he had never met such a person in these years.
At the beginning, Liang Chuan felt that his dignity had been trampled on and was furious, but now it seems that another feeling has arisen in his heart unconsciously. He is not a stupid person, and he also knows very well that the reason why others are afraid of him is simply because they are afraid of his status or have desires for himself. But the young Taoist priest in front of him is obviously different. Not only is he not afraid of his status, but he is also He didn't ask for anything from himself. On the contrary, he asked for something from him. Naturally, he was inferior to him.
Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on his face: "I never thought that I, Liang Chuan, would be today..."
Today, for the first time, he tasted the taste of being rejected; today, for the first time, he felt the taste of being frustrated; today, for the first time, he tasted the taste of being ignored... .
I have to say that this was a really colorful day. He experienced many firsts inadvertently, and this was while he was extremely passive.
Even though he had invited all the famous doctors and masters in Qiantang and even the nearby areas before he came to look for Jiang Chen, he still agreed to the deal with Jiang Chen after several considerations.
His father's life and the family's most precious treasure, the Hanyue Pearl, between the two, he knew exactly what he needed more!
Although the Liang family is a long-established wealthy family with strong financial resources, it is not an easy task to keep this family business. Among them, his father, Liang Siyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou, played an unlimited role. , he didn't even have to think about what kind of terrible storm would be waiting for him if something happened to his father.
No matter how good the Hanyue Orb is, it is not as important as the life of his father Liang Siyuan. After all, without the Hangzhou magistrate sitting in charge, the Liang family cannot keep the Hanyue Orb at all!
There is a right choice, so Liang Chuan finally agreed to Jiang Chen's conditions. If Jiang Chen could cure his father Liang Siyuan, the Liang family would give him the Hanyue Orb as a gift. Of course, if it was another doctor who cured Liang Siyuan, then the Hanyue Orb would naturally have no share of Jiang Chen's.
"I hope those so-called famous doctors can have some ability." Liang Chuan couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "If you want our family's heirloom, it depends on whether you have the destiny!"
Ignoring the turbulent Liang Chuan in his heart, Jiang Chen sat peacefully in the car, with a quiet mind, practicing Taoism alone. Even if the car was bumpy along the way, it would not affect him at all.
There was a unique silence until the carriage stopped in front of Liang Mansion.
Liang Chuan opened his eyes and saw that Jiang Chen was still in a calm state. He couldn't help but feel great admiration. Considering that although there was a deal between the two parties, in the end, he wanted something from the other party and the threat of force could not succeed, so he had to put down his attitude. Although he was still Somewhat reluctantly, he still said respectfully: "Taoist Master, the humble residence has arrived."
"Huh?" With a deep groan, Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes, and saw two insignificant lights flashing away. Then he nodded slowly, stood up, and walked out of the carriage. In front of him was a sudden sight. This huge mansion is not inferior to the Xiao family in Shangqiu County that he visited a hundred years ago. Above the vermilion gate, there is a plaque hanging impressively, with two large gold-inlaid characters written in ancient pre-Qin script:
"Liang Mansion!"
These two words, fluttering like dragons and phoenixes, exude a breathtaking momentum. It is obvious that the person who wrote these two words is extraordinary. The ancient fonts and horizontal plaques silently reveal the inheritance of the ancient family and are symbols of the profound heritage.
Like the Xiao family, there are two majestic stone lions in front of the main entrance of the Liang family. There are four guards in front of the door, each of whom is a rare expert.
After crossing the gate, there is a huge courtyard inside. As you go inside, you can see pavilions and corridors crisscrossing each other. Between the rockeries and rocks, there are small bridges and flowing water. Between the gurgling water, there are wisps of heat rising. .
"It's geothermal!" Jiang Chen has such a sharp eye that he can see the reality at a glance. Geothermal heat is similar to hot springs, but different. Compared with hot springs, the temperature of geothermal water flow is lower, but it is more energetic. In this regard, It can be easily seen from the lotus blooming in the pond not far away.
"This Liang family is really a big deal. This level of wealth is already higher than that of the Xiao family in Shangqiu. I don't know what kind of official Liang Siyuan is. If he is a corrupt official, he must be careful when he takes action. One or two, don’t ruin this beautiful manor... "
Thoughts arose in his mind, but Jiang Chen's face remained calm. He gently waved his hand to hit the purple jade whisk, and under the guidance of Liang Chuan, Shi Shiran came to a hall... . ..
