Chapter 62 Windfall
The bright sun shines on the earth, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant in the Taoyuan Inn, and in the antique attic, Ye Tong is holding a bowl of medicinal food, the fragrance has already made him intoxicated.
Recently, he feels more and more that the delicacy of food is so indescribable, the feast of taste buds seems to be the true meaning of life.
Ye Tong did not restrain himself from this discovery. People have seven emotions and six desires, and tongue desire is the key component. He has endured too much pain and suffering. Since food can bring him enjoyment, he accepts it gladly.
"Little master." The drug slave also held a bowl of medicinal food, and said in the white mist-covered room: "Today's medicinal food, we didn't spend a tael of blue silver, and the amount we got was twice as much as in the past."
Ye Tong asked in surprise, "Why?"
Yao Nu said: "The old slave heard that the medicinal food room belongs to the Gao family."
Ye Tong said thoughtfully: "It seems that the Gao family should be released from the prison. They are showing their favor in disguise."
Yao Nu said: "On that day, we lied that we were from the Prince's Mansion. Recently, Mu Xiaochen often ran here. If the Gao family were not blind, they would not dare to provoke us again. Perhaps they are still worried about the Duke's Mansion. If they are dissatisfied with their Gao family over there, it will be bad for them!"
Ye Tong smiled and said: "The fox pretends to be the tiger, but the effect is quite good."
As the saying goes, people are the most careless, before finishing two bowls of hot porridge, Mu Xiaochen has already rushed in from the outside, his handsome face was full of complacency, walked up to Ye Tong, waved his long sleeves, A stack of thick gold tickets came into Ye Tong's eyes.
"This is?" Ye Tong's eyes suddenly lit up.
Mu Xiaochen said proudly: "My father has gone to the imperial capital. Before leaving, I asked for three million taels of blue gold, and I have already kept 30% of it. This is 2.1 million taels of blue gold. You put it away."
"Two million and one hundred thousand taels of blue... blue gold?" Although Ye Tong has made a lot of money recently, this huge amount still makes his heart tremble.
Two million one hundred thousand taels of blue gold! If converted into blue silver, that would be 21 million taels of blue silver.
A huge fortune of tens of millions, he couldn't even imagine it a few months ago. Thinking back to the time when he bought that iron ring plant, he was still struggling!
"The king of the county is bold." Ye Tong sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Without me, can you get it that fast?"
Mu Xiaochen's expression froze, and he wondered if Ye Tong's ears had grown on his thighs. He asked for these gold tickets, so why did he become a bold father? Shouldn't the person being praised be yourself?
"It's all the same, it's all the same, what are you arguing with me?" Ye Tong handed the golden ticket to the medicine slave, and then said with a smile: "I feel refreshed on happy occasions, I am very happy now, I still have half a bowl of herbal food left. I'll give you a drink!"
Mu Xiaochen pushed it away and snorted with disgust on his face: "Even if my family is poor, I can't afford medicinal food, right? Take these two invitations and remember to attend the dinner in a few days."
"Invitation card?" Ye Tong thought that Jin Qiusheng really wanted an invitation card from the county prince's mansion, so he said immediately: "Give me another one, and a friend will come to join in the fun."
Mu Xiaochen was taken aback for a moment, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Do you still have friends?"
Ye Tong said angrily: "You are not talking nonsense! How can a person live without one or two friends? Let me ask you, are you my friend?"
Mu Xiaochen said, "Yes!"
Ye Tong said: "That's it, even you are my friend, why do I have no friends?"
Mu Xiaochen raised his hand to touch the bridge of his nose, and laughed dryly. He was very happy that Ye Tong admitted that he was his friend.
But in an instant, Mu Xiaochen felt something was wrong. He was the son of a majestic county king. In the entire Zifu County, Mu Xiaochen was under one person and over ten thousand. Others wanted to hug his thigh and want to be friends with him. , Why did I feel happy because of his approval when I came to Ye Tong?
"Damn..." Mu Xiaochen scolded himself for being worthless in his heart.
Ye Tong asked: "Are you going to give it or not?"
Mu Xiaochen said angrily: "Here, Young Master Ye asks for it yourself, do I dare not give it? I'll send someone to Jin Qiusheng later, and you don't have to worry about it."
"Thank you!" Ye Tong said a rare polite word to him.
In the next few days, apart from teaching Lan Tianyu's painting skills, Ye Tong went all out to make defensive talismans. In just three days, he finished making all 30 defensive talismans. When he handed all the defensive talismans to Mu After Xiaochen, Mu Xiaochen almost rolled his eyes in shock, after all, Ye Tong told him before that he could only make three pieces a day.
at dusk.
"Sculptures of the twelve zodiac signs." Ye Tong pondered whether to carve them all out for the time being, because he was no longer short of money, and it should be no problem to bid for the Blood Demon Worm at the auction.
In the end, Ye Tong decided to carve it out. Even if there is no shortage of money for the time being, if you encounter something you need in the future, you don't have to worry about gold and silver.
"Little master, rest!"
Yaonu couldn't understand why Ye Tong worked so hard, money is something outside of him, and he can earn it when he needs it later, so why bother to waste sleep and eat, and work hard now? What's more, it's rich now.
Ye Tong sat cross-legged in the jade pile, without raising his head, he said: "You rest first, I will carve this fourth jade carving tonight."
"Oh!" Yao Nu sighed.
In the past, he rarely encountered strong people in the foundation building stage. In Hanshan City, the strong people in the innate realm are already considered great masters. Now he has broken through to the fourth level of innate, and he thinks he can protect Ye Tong comprehensively. However, he came to the county city After that, he realized that he was still too weak, and his previous thoughts were a bit whimsical.
The person living next door is a strong man in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
That mysterious person is also a strong foundation builder.
He didn't know how many strong people in the foundation period still existed in the entire county.
Yao Nu looked up at Ye Tong, thinking in his heart, if after the auction is over, if there is still some money left after buying the Blood Demon Worm, and he also goes to buy some treasures that can increase his cultivation, my master, I think he will agree, right?
Tonight, there are dark clouds.
The entire sky and night seemed to be covered by darkness, not a single star, not a ray of moonlight, and the dull atmosphere made one's heart heavy.
Phew... A ghostly figure appeared in front of Ye Tong out of thin air.
Chu Xiao has taken on a new look at this time. Although he still looks thinner, he is much more energetic than a few days ago. Obviously, his injuries have healed.
"Are you going tonight?" Ye Tong raised her head and asked.
Chu Xiao nodded and said, "Tonight is without stars and moon. It is the weakest time for that formation, which can save us a lot of trouble."
Ye Tong was a little puzzled, and asked, "Is the strength of the formation related to Xingyue?"
Chu Xiao said, "That's right."
Ye Tong had never encountered such a strange formation before, so he nodded and said: "Wait for me for half an hour, and then I will start when this jade carving is finished."
After speaking, he lowered his head again.
Chu Xiao didn't urge him, and he didn't want to go to the Jiling Cemetery now, because the guards there should still be alive now! Not optimal for the psychedelic drug you are about to use. "
Cold Mountain City.
Tong's mansion was still brightly lit, and several maids and buddies in the corridor were gathering together and talking in a low voice, not noticing that Tong Kaishan, who was sweating and tired not far away, was getting closer and closer.
"It's really evil. In just a few days, more than a dozen people from the Miao family have died one after another. The most evil is the son of Miao Daqing, the head of the Miao family. He can choke to death if he drinks saliva."
"That's right! Five days ago, the old lady of the Miao family caught cold at night, causing a hidden illness and dying. Later, the steward of the Miao family led people to collect the rent. As a result, the team of adventurers captured the ferocious beast that was about to be domesticated. Suddenly, it went berserk and broke free from the chains. Kill five or six members of the Miao family."
"Miao Daqing's clan uncle, who was jealous with others in Piaoxiang Tower, how old is he? He is still old-fashioned, and the result? He was beaten to death by mistake, and the official went to investigate. The murderer had already escaped. "
"It is widely rumored outside that the Miao family is being targeted by ghosts, and they are going to drag the whole family into hell! I heard from the woodcutter who came to the house to deliver firewood that Miao Daqing is now in panic all day long, hiding behind the door of his house. He didn't even step out of the second door, and he didn't even dare to meet the woman who was sneaking outside to ask for money!"
"It's really strange that things happen every year, especially this year."
"The Miao family must have offended the gods."
"..."
Tong Kaishan stopped by the pillars of the corridor, his expression was slightly dazed, he had been staying in the training ground these days, but he didn't hear any gossip.
The Miao family? Dozens of people died?
Standing there, Tong Kaishan was awakened by a maid's exclamation, and found that the maid had seen him and wanted to leave, so she immediately called out to him: "Is what you just said true?"
Several servant girls looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally a guy with a little more courage replied: "Young master, everything we said is true, and the news has spread to the outside world. It is true that more than a dozen people in the Miao family have died. Every day, there are always Miao family members who come to the coffin shop to order coffins, and three funerals have been held."
"Yeah!" Tong Kaishan waved his hand, indicating that they can leave.
His complexion was pale and frightening, and his bones were trembling slightly. No one knew that a turbulent wave had grown in his heart, and what Ye Tong said that night echoed in his mind: "If it wasn't for your father's foresight, I would visit It's not the Miao family's ancestral grave, but your Tong family's ancestral grave."
Ancestral grave?
Tong Kaishan had a vague feeling that the continuous death of the Miao family should be related to Ye Tong's visit to the Miao family's ancestral grave that night. He saw with his own eyes that Ye Tong tampered with the Miao family's ancestral grave that night.
"If it's true……"
Tong Kaishan suddenly felt that his back was chilly. If it was true, then Ye Tong possessed ghost-like means. It was even more terrifying than a cultivator in the innate realm, or even a cultivator in the foundation-building stage!
"Come on!" Tong Kaishan shouted suddenly.
Immediately, two burly men came running from not far away, saluted respectfully and said, "Young master, what are your orders?"
Tong Kaishan suppressed the horror in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Secretly find out what happened to the Miao family recently, and then continue to observe secretly. If there is another accident in the Miao family, report to me immediately."
"Yes!" The two took the order and left.
