After breaking through the fourth level of Qi training, Hou Jiuming had no intention of stopping his training.
Apart from refining Wuling Pills and going out every day, I spend the rest of the time practicing in the house.
The medicine store business was also completely handed over to Zhu Zhu.
To enable him to cope with various things.
Hou Jiuming also specifically taught Crouching Tiger Strength.
Allowing him to rely on force to deal with all kinds of troubles.
Zhuzi's talent is also good, and he has made rapid progress in learning martial arts.
In just one month, I got started with Crouching Tiger Power.
Reached the level of a warrior.
It's usually no problem to deal with four or five big men.
…………
The bright sun is in the sky, and the sky is like the sea.
The hot sun shines on the earth.
In Sihai Medicine Store, Zhu Zhu hurriedly knocked on the door of Hou Jiu Ming's retreat.
Hou Jiuming opened the door dissatisfied and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhuzi said anxiously, "Shopkeeper, it was the head of the town who convened all the shopkeepers in the town to discuss matters, that's why I disturbed you!"
"Oh?" Hou Jiuming became interested and immediately asked, "Did you say something?"
"I didn't say specifically, but it should be related to the people coming from Solid Rock City!"
"Is someone coming from Solid Rock City?"
"Yes, I heard that the city lord sent some acquired warriors!"
"The warrior the day after tomorrow?" Hou Jiuming muttered to himself, and as his thoughts were rolling, he made a decision and prepared to go and have a look.
Li Zheng's convening was nothing more than to raise money as a reward to thank these warriors.
If that's all, the most you can do is send the pillars and give some money.
The reason why he went was because he was interested in warriors exorcising ghosts.
I want to see what methods these warriors use to drive away ghosts.
Maybe we can learn from it.
After finalizing the matter, he did not continue to practice. He washed up and went out.
After staying here for so long, I naturally know where Li Zheng's home is.
In Luoyue Town, the surname is Wang and the given name is Zhengde. He is the most powerful person in Luoyue Town.
There are several shops in the town, involving Qin Lou Chu Guan, gambling stalls, and book dealers. As long as you are a low-level person, you can get some of them and you can be considered a tyrant.
In Luoyue Town, it doesn't matter if you offend the police officers. The worst thing you can do is live there for a few days and suffer a little hardship.
But if you offend Wang Zhengde, just wait until your body is eaten by wild beasts in the Luoyue Mountains.
However, Wang Zhengde's life has not been satisfactory recently.
The cause of the incident was the recent uproar about ghosts killing families.
During this period, he was always on tenterhooks, fearing that if he was not careful, his whole family would be wiped out.
After all, he is the richest and most powerful person in Luoyue Town.
Nowadays, ghosts are specifically looking for rich people. It would be strange if he is not worried.
Fortunately, this morning, someone from Solid Rock City finally came.
At this time, in the main living room of Li Zheng's house, three men and one woman, plus the humble Li Zheng and Wang Zhengde, were sitting there chatting.
Among these three men, a scholar in blue robes and a scholar's shirt holding a folding fan,
A big man with a bare chest and a beard.
The other one was a middle-aged man wearing a smart suit, carrying a long knife at his waist, and looking upright.
As for the only woman, she was the focus of attention from all the men in the room.
She wears white clothes with sleeves tied up, riding boots on her feet, and her slender waist is bound by a jade-inlaid cloth belt, revealing her graceful curves.
The delicate bun is bound by a hanging hairpin decorated with flowers and pearls, so that three thousand blue silk hair just hangs down around the waist.
Coupled with the woman's skin as white as cream and her delicate and beautiful facial features, it is no surprise that several men are attracted to her.
However, the beautiful woman's face was full of coldness. She was sitting in the chief guest seat and did not even look at the other four people. She just lowered her head to study her sword.
It seemed like there was something mysterious up there that attracted her.
Several other men, while chatting, looked at the woman with various eyes.
The time passed in such a weird atmosphere, and it was not until a servant who was a butler came to Wang Zhengde and whispered, that it came to an end.
After the servant finished speaking, Wang Zhengde stood up with a smile and said.
"Everyone, the squire from the town has arrived, I will make arrangements right away!"
"Your Majesty, please!" The young Confucian scholar was the first to speak. He stood up with a smile on his face, an easy-going look on his face, and showed his benevolence, propriety, and wisdom in every aspect.
The tall man with a beard next to him curled his lips when he saw him getting up, as if he was very disdainful, but he didn't say anything.
Another middle-aged man nodded towards Wang Zhengde.
As for the woman, she didn't even raise her head, as if Wang Zhengde wasn't talking to her just now.
Wang Zhengde saw the attitudes of the four people one by one. Although he was a little dissatisfied with the big man, considering his military value, he could only suppress the matter and did not dare to reveal anything.
After greeting his servants and entertaining several people, Wang Zhengde hurried to another reception room.
…………
The same living room in the main house is just a side hall. It is bustling with people, including all the shop owners in Luoyue Town.
Forty or fifty people, crowded into a small living room, would naturally not feel comfortable.
These people are usually prominent figures in Luoyue Town.
Now that they are in a situation where they can't even get a seat at the door, it's strange that they can endure it.
I saw a group of people surrounding a servant, venting their dissatisfaction.
"Is this Wang Zhengde's way of entertaining guests? Not to mention tea, there isn't even a seat. Is this how you usually entertain guests?"
"It's too much to bully someone. I, Tian Laoqi, am a well-known figure in Luoyue Town no matter what. If you invite me to your door, there is not even a chair. What does Wang Zhengde mean?"
"It's just that it's too much. Call everyone here and forget about it without seeing anyone. It's really abominable to entertain people like this..."
"Everyone, if Wang Zhengde doesn't give us an explanation later, this matter won't be over."
"You're right, it won't be complete until you give me an explanation."
Hou Jiuming stood quietly in the corner, watching the quarrels around him with an indifferent expression.
Although he came as soon as he was notified, he was not the first person to come.
When we arrived, there were already more than ten people in the room.
Naturally, there are no seats.
Even he, a cultivator, is impatient to wait, let alone others.
At this moment, a deliberate coughing sound suddenly came from the door.
"Hang~Hang~Hang~"
The living room, which was originally like a vegetable market, immediately pressed the stop button at this cough.
But just for a moment, the noise started again.
However, this time it is not a complaint.
"Brother Wang, long time no see, you are still looking brilliant!"
"Sir Satsuma, I brought you some specialties from my hometown this time. I have given them to the butler. You must try them. You will never be disappointed."
"Oh, Wang Yuanwai is really talented. He even invited the warrior masters from Solid Stone City. It's really incredible~ It's incredible..."
After Wang Zhengde appeared, the shop owners who had just complained repeatedly immediately gathered around him.
Didn't mention anything about what I just discussed.
It seems that the outrage just now was not what they said.
"It's so true!" Hou Jiuming looked at it and shook his head.
