Talk about the world of mortals in detail

Hu Kuangming thought about returning to Beijing with Tan Yuanshang for a long time, and finally agreed.

After all, if the current Holy Emperor is ill, it is no longer a personal matter, but also a matter related to the country and the country. Tan Yuanshang used this to explain the situation, and Hu Kuangming had no reason to refuse.

After Hu Kuangming agreed, Tan Yuanshang didn't want to stay in Dengzhou for a long time and took him on board the ship with him.

The Tan family's fleet moved all the way along the Datong River. However, the merchant ship's channel did not go straight to the capital. If you wanted to go all the way to the waterway, you would have to make too many turns. So Tan Yuanshang took the people off the boat and took a carriage, and they went all the way to the Kaiyang River waters before starting again. Take a boat ride.

During the whole process, the Tan family's businesses all over the country were able to respond immediately. In Hu Kuangming's eyes, it was more like taking a boat or a car. Everything was arranged clearly and properly, including inns and stations.

Everywhere you go, the carriages and horses must be waiting first. Every time you stay overnight, if it is a meal, there must be a table of steaming meals waiting for you, and it must be local famous dishes or special snacks.

This kind of connections and methods, as well as the powerful deployment ability, really opened Hu Kuangming's eyes, which was really something he had never imagined before.

The journey was not slow at all, but it did not make Hu Kuangming feel any obvious fatigue.

At this moment, the big ship has arrived at the port of Chengtianfu. In the distance, there are rows of sails and buildings like a city. Small boats are passing through the waterway. There are officials who manage and distribute access numbers, and there are also people selling various items, or carrying people to board in advance. The vendors on the shore are like a vast business on the water.

Standing on the bow of the building ship, Tan Yuanshang looked at the grand scene of the capital port and felt a special emotion in his heart.

"Mr. Hu, the capital has arrived!"

Hu Kuangming had never been to Chengtian Mansion in his life. Even though he had been surprised many times along the way, he still couldn't help showing a shocked expression and sighing sincerely.

"As expected of the prosperous Tianjing of my great country! I should have come to see it a long time ago!"

"Hahahahaha Mr. Hu, there are so many places in the capital that you should see!"

Tan Yuanshang laughed with obvious pride, and then motioned for the ship to dock.

As a Tan family ship, it has certain privileges even at the capital port. At least there must be a berth available for docking at any time.

Naturally, there were carriages and horses immediately on the shore to take Tan Yuanshang and Hu Kuangming to the interior of the capital.

——

Qi Zhongbin, who was staying at a Taoist temple in Chengtianfu City, moved at the Dingzhong Lingtai, and then slowly opened his eyes. Tan Yuanchang was back!

Qi Zhongbin sorted out the things in the room, put everything that needed to be packed into his own suitcase, then picked up the suitcase and walked out the door.

Hui Mian was coming back at this moment and couldn't help but be confused when he saw Qi Zhongbin's actions.

"Boy Qi, are you leaving now? You can stay here for a while longer."

In a place like the capital, there are naturally Taoist temples and temples, some of which can accommodate people to stay overnight. Qi Zhongbin looked at Xianfeng Daogu like this, clearly indicating that he is a practitioner, and generally he will not be criticized if he stays in a Taoist temple for a long time. Drive away.

Of course, the practitioner here refers to what ordinary Taoists understand, and they don’t know Qi Zhongbin’s true background.

Hui Mian said and jumped on Qi Zhongbin's shoulder, grinning widely.

"Boy Qi, I've found a way to make money faster and with less trouble than you do by telling people's fortunes."

"Oh? What method did Senior Hui find?"

Qi Zhongbin believed that it was definitely not using magic to make money. It was impossible for Senior Hui to use this deceptive method, at least not on normal people.

"Hey, look!"

As he said this, Hui Mian exposed one of his claws that had always been closed, and it turned out to be carefully holding a cricket.

"This thing is usually my snack, but when I was walking around, I saw those rich boys fighting crickets. It was more lively than what I saw in Xihe Village. If I listened for a while, guess what? , a good cricket is priceless!"

As he spoke, Hui Mian revealed the cricket in his hand that seemed to be in a comatose state.

"This is just the most powerful one I found after searching a lot of places, so I didn't eat it. It is definitely better than those crickets they have and can be sold for a good price!"

Qi Zhongbin couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. Senior Hui's background is indeed strange, but he has to say that it should be useful, but they are not very eager to make money.

"Senior Hui, Tan Yuanshang is back."

"oh!"

Hui Mian put away the crickets in his hands. In fact, he was not too interested in Tan Yuanchang. After all, if something happened to a person like Tan Yuanchang who was thoughtful and well-rounded, it would most likely happen.

Of course, it still depends on your mood, so Hui Mian didn't say much.

"Fine!"

After saying this, Hui Mian jumped on Qi Zhongbin's shoulder. Since Qi Xiaozi wants to have a look, he should go. After all, he is also a Dayong Heavenly Master, although this title was given by the previous emperor.

Qi Zhongbin smiled and walked out with his suitcase on his back.

Taoists passing by in the temple will also ask politely when they see him.

"Senior Qi, are you going out to set up a stall and tell fortunes for others?"

"Oh, Mr. Qi has something to do and needs to leave. Thank you to the temple owner for me. Thank you for your hospitality these two days!"

As he said this, Qi Zhongbin walked out. The Taoist was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly followed him.

"Old senior, why don't you stay a little longer? The temple master said last night that he wanted to ask you for advice on Taoist interpretation. So, please wait a moment and I will inform the temple master!"

After the Taoist finished speaking, he quickly ran to the temple without waiting for Qi Zhongbin's response. Qi Zhongbin had to wait for a while.

Then the owner of the Taoist temple hurried over. As a person who could be considered a serious practitioner, his spiritual awareness was significantly higher than that of ordinary people.

The master of the temple knew that Qi Zhongbin had real abilities when he first arrived. He was definitely the kind of old man who had been practicing for a long time.

After all the good talk, Qi Zhongbin had no choice but to agree to stay in the temple temporarily, put down his things, and then go out.

After leaving the Taoist temple, Hui Mian couldn't help but laugh on Qi Zhongbin's shoulder.

"Hahahahahaha, this temple owner is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He actually pays so much attention to you, a "down-and-out person" who comes to ask for help!"

Qi Zhongbin sighed somewhat.

"He can be regarded as having developed some skills. Otherwise, this Taoist temple would not be famous in a place like the capital, and it would be even more difficult to establish a foothold. Speaking of which, this kind of person is not similar to me back then!"

"Hahahahaha, then you accept him as your disciple!"

Hui Mian joked, Qi Zhongbin smiled, and then walked towards the Tan Mansion.

Chengtian Mansion, at one end of the North City Gate Road, Tan Yuanshang and Hu Kuangming came here first.

This is also one of the first places many scholars who come to Beijing to take exams for the first time, as well as many Dayong people who come to the capital for the first time, come here to see the huge stone, which also represents Dayong's literary and martial arts. A sign of prosperity.

Of course, except for one side of the boulder that was originally extremely flat, the other sides had already been carved. Except for the section buried underground, the top was completely transformed into a huge stone monument.

Even today, many people still stay here for a long time or linger, and many foreign visitors are shocked.

"Twenty thousand miles from here to the northwest, I am in a state of great mediocrity."

Hu Kuangming had goosebumps all over his body. Even though he was just an old doctor, he was still a mediocre person. How could he not be proud of this stone monument.

"Mr. Hu, do you want to dine at a famous restaurant in the capital, or at my house, or should I invite a famous restaurant chef to my home?"

"Here, don't go to such trouble. Just have a simple meal. Mr. Tan entertains you all the way. I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to it when I go back."

Tan Yuanshang was happy.

"That's not easy. I will send someone to Dengzhou to make arrangements for you. Or if you are willing, it would be better to stay in the capital or even in my Tan Mansion!"

Hu Kuangming shook his head. Seeing this, Tan Yuanshang didn't say much and said he was joking.

At this time, Qi Zhongbin also arrived in the north of the city. Looking from a distance, he could see Tan Yuanshang, who had many followers, and there was another person who surprised him. Hui Mian naturally saw it too, and was the first to speak out in surprise.

"Hu Kuangming? Oops, he is so old without realizing it, but Tan Yuanshang is really a monster. He is no younger than Hu Kuangming, right? At first glance, he could be his son."

Qi Zhongbin was happy. Tan Yuanshang was called a monster by a real monster. If he knew it, he would be proud.

But Senior Hui's words also made Qi Zhongbin sigh.

"Yes, time flies so fast, and the Lingdong disaster has already been decades ago in the blink of an eye!"

With that said, Qi Zhongbin walked forward. His steps were obviously not fast, but his body was moving faster than ordinary people. At this time, Tan Yuanshang and Hu Kuangming were about to turn around and prepare to leave.

Although he said he came to meet Tan Yuanshang for a while, Qi Zhongbin had no intention of shouting at anyone, nor did he approach those who were obviously his protectors. He just spoke a few steps away with a gentle and gentle voice so that Tan Yuanshang could hear clearly. The voice chanted a children's song.

"The Tan Mansion is better than the Prince's Mansion, gold and silver are hard to count, there is no storage in Anzhi, ten Chengtian Mansions"

Tan Yuanshang was smiling and ready to invite Hu Kuangming to the carriage parked on the street. When he heard the sound, he couldn't help but frown slightly. Then he stopped and looked sideways, only to see that the person singing over there was an old man. At this time, he seemed to be Get ready to see the "No. 1 Stone Monument in Chengxing".

"Master, do you need me to stop that person?"

Tan Yuanchang waved his hand and saw that the other party's silhouette and back were also that of an elderly man. He faced Hu Kuangmingdao.

"You get in the carriage first, and I'll be back as soon as I can!"

As he spoke, Tan Yuanchang walked over in person. When he got close enough, Qi Zhongbin was stroking his beard and looking at the stone tablet. Although he had seen it once a while ago, seeing it again was still shocking, even if he was a member of the immortal world.

"This old gentleman."

Tan Yuanchang's voice came, and Qi Zhongbin turned to look sideways. As soon as their eyes made contact, Tan Yuanchang was slightly startled.

What an old man with gray hair and a childish face!

"Is this officer calling me?"

Qi Zhongbin looked confused, while Hui Mian hid in his body and nodded secretly. Qi Xiaozi knew how to use tricks and acted.

Tan Yuanshang smiled and nodded.

"Exactly. I just heard the old gentleman singing a ballad. I wonder where you heard it from?"

It's not like the old man arranged it himself, right?

Qi Zhongbin suddenly realized.

"Oh, well, I have just come to the capital. I heard a group of children singing this nursery rhyme on the street a while ago. It is catchy and catchy. I have remembered it after listening to it once or twice."

As he spoke, Qi Zhongbin looked at the stone tablet with a smile.

"I heard that the huge stone of the first stone monument in Chengxing was excavated in the mountains by the Tan family and brought to the emperor. I sighed in my heart that the children's song was right, so I couldn't help but sing it!"

Tan Yuanchang was slightly shocked, and the smile on his face gradually stopped, but he quickly returned to normal and saluted the old man.

"That's it. Thank you old gentleman for your advice!"
