Chapter 62 Feilai TowerThe night shrouds the pavilion, and the moon shines on the river and lake. Yong County was as quiet as a pool of autumn water late at night, with only a few flickering candles embellishing the worldly life. Zhao Zhuang, the inn waiter who sent the last table of guests upstairs, suddenly walked lighter after turning around and going downstairs. He was humming a little tune while cleaning up the guests' leftovers. His tired face was showing a different kind of energy and spirit. Unless something unexpected happens, the second half of the night will completely become his personal time. In the past, night watch was a hard job and no one was willing to do it. But since the advent of the Internet, the job of night watch has become popular. Just imagine, it’s late at night, no one is disturbing you, you are alone in the store, browsing the Internet, and you can spend half the night there. How wonderful that feeling is! Thinking of this, Zhao Zhuang, who was tired after a day of work, felt a little more energetic. He quickly put away the tables and chairs, and when everything was done, he quickly went behind the counter, burned incense and prayed. As the familiar Internet interface came into view, an indescribable sense of peace surged in his heart.
"call--" Zhao Zhuang took a deep breath, and quickly found a table and chair outside the inn. Then he clicked on the online course section and looked for videos that interested him. Last night, he saw a dancing video. Seven or eight girls, as beautiful as fairies, were standing in a garden, dancing gracefully. Their every move was captivating! Zhao Zhuang swore that he had never seen such a beautiful girl in his life. Each one is glowing white and breathtakingly beautiful. He read it over and over again at least a dozen times. Whenever I see a woman in broad daylight, I suddenly think of something or other. I finally understood why some shop assistants would shake their beds creaking in the middle of the night. "You bastard, you're not lying, are you? Didn't you say that you can find it in the profile picture by clicking on the stars? There's nothing here, too?" Zhao Zhuang is illiterate, and his limited control over the online course interface is limited to “play” and “exit”. After fiddling with it for a long time, I still couldn’t find the video I “collected” yesterday, and I suddenly became a little frustrated. You can only search randomly on such a large interface. Not long after, he found a similar dance video. Although it was not as stunning as what he saw last night, it was still extremely beautiful, and every frown and smile was very captivating. It makes people's blood boil. Zhao Zhuang looked at her infatuatedly, thinking, I wonder when I can get a wife like this? "brush!" Suddenly, a blinding light came from outside the inn. His pupils shrank in shock and he no longer cared about the dancing girl. He looked through the translucent network interface and saw a white light outside the lattice window of the inn. He rushed out of the inn and saw that the streets were already as bright as day, with bright sunlight shining down from the sky. Looking up, he trembled all over, opened his mouth subconsciously, and all the blood in his body seemed to freeze! God! What did he see? He actually saw a towering pavilion, flying across the sky under the support of auspicious clouds, with immortals protecting it on all sides and purple air surrounding it, it was truly magnificent!
At this moment, Zhao Zhuang's brain was almost blank. Before he could react, he saw the Shenxiao Jiangque falling from the sky and slowly landed on the open space not far from the inn. An immortal with sharp eyes suddenly turned his head and looked over. He was so frightened as if struck by lightning, and a chill ran through his head. However, the immortal just took a look, then turned his head away, clasped his hands together, and golden light shone. "Oh my god, when did this building appear?" The shopkeeper, wearing his coat, hurried over from the backyard. When he saw the towering building in front of him, he was stunned. In the inn, countless guests were awakened, some leaning against the windows, and some running down the inn. As the crowd watched, the immortals worked slowly and leisurely. "Look at this red ribbon, is the Immortal planning to open a shop?!" The shopkeeper looked at the red ribbon on the plaque and was amazed and stunned. Immortals also open shops? That night, the innkeeper, the waiters and even the guests of Siyuantang Inn stayed up all night. Countless people gathered at the entrance of the inn, watching a group of immortals coming and going like the wind, in and out, busying around. After an unknown amount of time, the east was already bright. The county town finally woke up from the long night. More and more people poured into the streets. The building, which looks majestic and magnificent at night, is even more majestic during the day. Amid the discussion among the crowd, Zhao Zhuang finally realized that three buildings had flown into Yong County last night, located at the main city gate of Yong County, Tianmen, and the streets of the East and West Gates. "Oh, I didn't see this building yesterday, why did it suddenly appear today?" "It flew here last night! An immortal used magic to send it here." "what?" "What is this for?" "Look at the red number on the signboard. They're going to open a store!" The crowd was talking, but no one dared to approach. At the time of Si, the sun was already 3rd high. On the terrace of the Immortal House, the door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged Taoist priest with an air of immortality walked out, bowed to all directions, and said in a loud voice: "Master Liuyunguan, hello to all the elders and fellow villagers. I'm sorry for disturbing you last night. Please forgive me!" The crowd was silent, no one dared to respond. Taoist Gu looked at the people who had gathered, smiled, and said with high spirits: "With the special permission of Taoist Yunli, our temple has set up an online bank in Yong County. It will officially open in three days!"
"At that time, every 300 points can be exchanged for five coins or a bushel of fine grain. Please spread the word among the elders and fellow villagers, and don't miss this opportunity." When the voice fell, the street became dead silent, and you could hear a pin drop. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Many people were confused and had not yet understood what was going on. However, someone already screamed out in surprise! "Oh my god, are the rumors true?" “Can Internet points really be exchanged for money?” "From what I hear, points can be exchanged here in the future?" "The Immortal just said that 300 points can be exchanged for 5 coins!" In an instant, the crowd exploded like a raging storm. Some people were talking excitedly; Some people looked confused and asked around. Zhao Zhuang, who was standing outside the inn, turned around and went back into the inn, burned incense and prayed, then logged on to the Internet to send a message to his mother Feng Xiulan: "Mom, Internet points can really be exchanged for money. Taoist Yunli has already sent an immortal over." …… Taoist Gu looked at the boiling crowd with a smile on his face, as if he saw the crazy influx of incense. As the birthplace of the Internet, Yong County has a large number of points accumulated by its people. In the past, these points could only be used to watch online courses, but now they can be exchanged for silver and money. I wonder how many people will be ecstatic and rush to the bank to open the bank. The only thing he was worried about now was whether the sect had enough copper coins and fine grains in reserve. Especially small copper coins. At the meeting two days ago, Gu Bogong knocked on the table to warn that no bank was allowed to use inferior coins such as "clipped-edge coins", "iron coins", "cloth" and "half-liang coins" to fill the banknotes. Even if it is exchanged at a ratio equal to the market price, it won’t work! As for the people, after leaving the bank, will they exchange the "big money" in their hands for inferior currency with a smaller face value? Taoist Yunli can't do anything about it, nor does he want to. But in online banking, payment of bad money is not allowed. This is a strict rule to prevent anyone from taking advantage of loopholes. Once discovered, the offender may be fined at the very least, or have his business license revoked at the most serious. To this end, Gu Bogong also issued a decree requiring all banks to form a joint law enforcement team to monitor all major branch banks. This tactic of "using barbarians to control barbarians" was used to perfection. When Gu Daoren was feeling both excited and worried, the two major branch banks, Ximen and Tianmen, announced the news of exchanging points for cash almost at the same time.
There were even bank branches that took out green copper coins to seduce the onlookers. It was as if he had thrown away all his immortal demeanor. Little did they know that there was no need to bewitch him at this moment. The whole city has gone crazy about it. The news spread through the Internet to all major villages in Yong County, and even to Yunzhou and Shuntian Prefecture. (End of this chapter)
