Two hundred and eighty-one: Master of Shengong Pavilion
On the second floor of Shengong Pavilion, Chu Hong sat in front of a limu table and unfolded a sea chart in front of him. The chart marked many routes in the Juyou Sea. There were many books and ancient pictures of the sea tribes and strangers on it. The old man in green clothes opposite Chu Hong was holding a book "Overseas Describing the Strange Confucians" and said: "Boss Chu, although the dragon silk is precious, the whereabouts of the mermaids are more secret than that of the whale. I wonder how confident Boss Chu is?"
Chu Hong pressed his hand on a mermaid picture with one hand and said confidently: "Brother Donglai doesn't have to worry. I started preparing for this trip to sea three years ago. However, it has not been peaceful overseas recently, so I temporarily recruited Qi Refiners to protect the business."
The old man in green nodded, looked out the door, and his expression moved.
At this time, the shopkeeper of Shengong Pavilion went up to the second floor.
The old man in green said, "Since Boss Chu has something to do, I will bother you another day."
Chu Hong got up and sent the old man in green out, and asked the shopkeeper, "What's the matter?"
The shopkeeper said respectfully: "You have ordered a few Qi Refiners who protect the business. There is one person waiting downstairs. Look..."
"Oh? It's rare to see Qi Refiners in normal times. Now, in just a few days, more than ten people have been invited. That person is from Middle Earth?" Chu Hong asked.
"yes."
Chu Hong pondered for a moment. The old man in green was his old acquaintance, Zheng Donglai, who was a natural and perfect qi cultivation genitals in the wild. In the past few days, the Shengong Pavilion has invited eleven qi cultivation genitals. If it weren't for the fact that overseas was not peaceful recently, this lineup would be a bit useless for a merchant ship. There was no need to invite another genitals to accompany him. Then he said, "There are enough people going out to sea, let that guest leave."
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "That customer bought the Qianjun piece in the store. I saw that he was very light in using it, and seemed to have a deep cultivation level. Why not be as good as the master to meet him?"
"Qianjun? If you want to control that mechanical arm, you will be the Qi Refiner who has practiced to the Great Zhoutian..." Chu Hong paused and finally nodded, "Since that's the case, bring him to see me."
The shopkeeper went out to bring Li Buzhuo in.
Before Li Buzhuo went upstairs, he learned from the shopkeeper the identity of the owner of the Shengong Pavilion. He knew that Chu Hong himself was not a Qi Refiner, but his family worshipped the Crafts League every year and had a deep background, so that he could sell machinery and equipment in Shaling. At first sight, he did not realize that Chu Hong had cultivation.
The shopkeeper Hou was beside him, and Chu Hong and Li Buzhuo said politely, and said, "I heard that you can control a thousand pounds. My boat is just in need of a master like you. However, if you are sure to go with the boat, please let me take a look at documents such as household registration or certificate that can prove your identity. It's not that I believe you, but I just follow the rules. This month, three strange people who sneaked into the East Ji have been arrested. The mansion has issued strict orders. When you see suspicious people, you must report them immediately. I hope you don't make me embarrassed."
Although Chu Hong is an ordinary person who does not have Qi refining, he is not very polite to Li Buzhuo, who is a Qi refining man. This is naturally because Chu Hong has some background, and the more important reason is that it is due to the customs of the entire Dongji area. In the Dongji area, Qi refining men are not as hierarchical as ordinary people. Even the Crafts Alliance often sends Qi refining men to build water conservancy institutions for the people and teaches the skills of construction. Over time, in the eyes of the people of Dongji, Qi refining men are no longer superior.
Li Buzhuo took the certificate of Youzhou and immediately took it out. Chu Hong looked carefully, relieved and nodded, "It turns out that you are from Youzhou, and there are many talents in Youzhou. You must be a young talent at this age. If you ask, you are not aware of your cultivation..."
Although he called Li Buzhuo a young talent, Chu Hong didn't have much hope when he saw Li Buzhuo's age at first. Those young talents with strong family backgrounds, as long as someone recommends, have already gone to sea with Shaling Navy. Who would come to his merchant ship to join in the fun?
Sure enough, Li Buzhuo thought for a while before saying, "I have just completed the Sitting Realm and penetrated the nine qi meridians."
As expected, Chu Hong said in his heart and asked again: "You are going to the foot of Fusang Shenmu this time, but is it related to the crack of the Tianzhu?"
Li Buzhuo said without comment, "Since Boss Chu knows that I am innocent, do you have other questions?"
"I'm too much." Chu Hong laughed, feeling a little disgusted with Li Buzhuo. Although the young man in front of him was so moved, his cultivation was really average. With Zheng Donglai's help, there was no need to recruit this person, but it was better than nothing.
After a change of the topic, Chu Hong said seriously: "Back to the point, this time the whale fall was tracked by the Shaling Navy for more than ten years. I spent a lot of money to obtain the qualification to follow the fleet. However, since you escort the merchant ship for me, you naturally don't need to pay for this money. Along the way, we followed the Shaling Navy, and I don't think there would be any danger. After arriving at the foot of the Shenmu Fusang, I will give you five gold coins. If there is really an attack on the way, as long as you take action, I will give you a lot of money."
These five gold stakes were naturally priced for Li Buzhuo's cultivation level. However, Li Buzhuo's purpose was to go to the foot of Fusang Shenmu. He was not very concerned about money. The five gold stakes were just better than nothing, so he naturally had no objection and said, "If someone attacked me, I will protect you."
"Okay, you and I will make a contract. Tomorrow, Yin will be the time to start the ship,"
Chu Hong said that, and there was Zhu Zi as small as a fly at the beginning and end of the contract. The content of the contract was that Li Buzhuo maintained the safety of the merchant ship along the way. If he made efforts, he would get a commission. If he breached the contract, Chu Hong could file a complaint based on this contract. It is worth mentioning that this contract did not come from the Shaling government, but provided by the Craftsman Alliance. If the circumstances are serious, the breacher will be punished by the Craftsman Alliance, and may even be rejected by the craftsmen in the entire Dongji.
Li Buzhuo immediately wrote a letter and signed a contract with Chu Hong. He learned that the time for the ship was tomorrow morning. The whale appeared on Ju You's beach today. The ship would be opened tomorrow, which would be the tail of the Shaling Navy.
After leaving Shengong Pavilion, Li Buzhuo asked He Qian to spend a gold baht and rented a yard in Wudong City. When Li Buzhuo went out to sea, He Qian fed his horses in Hecheng.
After settling down for the time being, it was already dusk, and Li Buzhuo put on a thousand-jung mechanical arm in the small courtyard.
Just as he was about to use the sword technique, Li Buzhuo felt aroused in his heart and thought, "If you want to practice emptiness, you must close the six consciousnesses. Even if you are not in a quiet practice, you will practice at that time."
Without hesitation, Li Buzhuo took out the black scarf to wipe the sword, covering his eyes, and at the same time blocking his eyes with internal Qi.
