Chapter 30 The Man Who Borrowed Money It turned out that a storyteller had opened a hall. After hearing the opening remarks, Shi Chun was secretly moved. How dare he speak in public? This shows some of the current names in the cultivation world. He looked at the sign of the hall, which read "Xianting Hall". Just as he was listening intently, he heard a gurgling sound of someone swallowing saliva beside him. Wu Jinliang's voice followed, "They are really white." These words immediately made Shi Chun turn around and look in the direction Wu Jinliang was looking. He saw three fair and tender women of average appearance walking past the two of them, talking and laughing, with a gust of fragrance, in waves. The place where the two of them were stopping was right at the bend of a bridge connecting the two sides, so there were many people coming and going. The tattered appearance of the two men did not attract much attention. Most people just took a second look. All kinds of strange things happen in the world of cultivation. To bystanders, the two men had obvious injuries on their bodies, and they might have encountered something. "Chuntian, let's go and find a place to go." Wu Jinliang winked and tilted his head to indicate. They were in perfect sync. Shi Chun knew exactly where to look without him asking. He frowned and said, "You only have a few dollars on you. Why are you messing around like that?" Wu Jinliang chuckled and said, "I have already found out everything over the years. Spending some money is nothing in this life."
He didn't even bother asking for Shi Chun's advice and went to ask someone for directions. Because he knew that Shi Chun didn't like this, he originally thought it was because of Miss Miao, but now it seems that it was not the case at all, he was simply not interested. After a while, he found out the location and immediately turned around and waved to Shi Chun, motioning him to come quickly. Although Shi Chun had no plans to do anything, he was curious about what the legendary fireworks place looked like, so he followed and decided to go and watch to broaden his horizons. But he still reminded her, "Should we go buy some clothes first?" There are no outsiders here, and everyone knows each other. There is no need to say things like buy the book first. Wu Jinliang smiled and said, "No need. It's just a small matter. There will be people to run errands and help if it costs money." "Haha, you really have a long-term vision." Shi Chun was impressed by this guy. He had found out all these things while still in exile. Without further ado, the two of them looked around, looking for the place where the fireworks were set. Compared to the excitement when I just left the Exiled Lands, my emotions now have become stable. Soon, the two came to the famous "Liyun Tower" in Zhaotian City. The tall building was embedded in the stone wall. Many gorgeous women were standing on the railings of the building. So Wu Jinliang, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, smiled again, as if he wished he could bite himself with his good teeth. But the situation outside the building seemed a little strange. There was a group of people blocking the door, obviously watching some excitement. When you first enter prison, you naturally cannot miss the excitement. The two of them squeezed in quite easily. However, as they were dirty, others didn't want to get close to them. But when they heard "Excuse me", they turned their heads and saw them, and subconsciously moved aside. When we arrived at the steps of Liyun Building in front, we saw a man kneeling on the ground crying in front of everyone, holding a box in his hand. "Fifty thousand gold, just lend me fifty thousand gold. I will definitely pay you back. I will definitely pay you back double..." The man who was begging with tears in his eyes kept kowtowed, and his forehead was bleeding. Shi Chun and the others were naturally curious. Could it be that someone was willing to go to such lengths just to get a good deal on Liyunlou? Isn't 50,000 gold too expensive? They immediately asked others what was going on? After someone whispered to him, I learned that the man who was weeping and kowtowing was named Bian Weikang, the son of the leader of Wukang Mountain. Because he was not doing his job properly, he made a bunch of bad friends, spent his time drinking and partying, did a lot of ridiculous things, and owed a lot of debts. Wukangshan is a large sect that specializes in refining talismans, and their main specialty is refining talismans that are often used in fighting, so they are quite wealthy.
His father, Bian Jixiong, did help his son pay off the huge debt, but he was extremely angry. Not only did he punish his son according to the sect's family rules, he also expelled his son from Wukang Mountain in a rage. In his capacity as the sect leader, he issued an order prohibiting anyone in the sect from providing aid or support to his son, and publicly announced the severance of the father-son relationship. Without money and power, Bian Weikang also lost his good friends, and his group of cronies immediately scattered. The downtrodden Bian Weikang later drifted here and fell in love with Xiang Lan'er, the courtesan of Liyun Tower. Unfortunately, Xiang Lan'er's indenture was in the hands of Liyun Tower. The most troublesome person was Lu Taizhen, who was second only to the city lord in status in Zhaotian City. She had taken a fancy to Xiang Lan'er and wanted to pay 500,000 gold to buy her. Liyun Tower was going to send her away tonight. Xiang Lan'er refused and Bian Weikang was unable to accept it either. After much begging, the poor couple finally gave in and said that she would allow them to be together, but she must not let her lose the money. As long as Bian Weikang could come up with 500,000 gold before Lu Taizhen, it would be their wish. How could Bian Weikang, who was in such a poor state, possibly come up with 500,000 gold? As a result, Xiang Lan'er took out all the savings she had accumulated over the years and borrowed from all the sisters she could, and finally she gathered together 450,000 gold and gave it to Bian Weikang, asking him to think of a solution outside. So Bian Weikang went around asking people to lend him money, but it was not a small amount of money. Generally, the annual salary of a monk with a better income was only about 3,000 gold. What was the concept of 50,000 gold? Moreover, Bian Weikang's previous history of borrowing money was not good, and no one helped him pay the debt. The important thing is, in Zhaotian City, how many people dare to help Bian Weikan and Lu Taizhen snatch the woman? Wu Jinliang sighed a little after hearing this, and looked at the gate of Liyun Building and muttered, "What's going on with a bunch of people blocking the entrance? Can we still do business?" However, Shi Chun had a different reaction. After hearing Bian Weikang's identity, his eyes kept flickering. At this moment, he felt very sympathetic towards Bian Weikang and really wanted to make friends with him, but it was a bit expensive at the moment. But he thought this was a good thing. Why make friends with someone who has no value? Now is the time to help someone in need. However, fifty thousand gold was really too much. Even if he and Wu Jinliang emptied their pockets, it would be useless. Even if Wu Jinliang was sold, he might not be worth that much money. However, he did not think it was difficult to get 50,000 gold in this place. It was much easier to accumulate "merit" here than in the land of exile. There was no shortage of money in places with plenty of money, so it was easy. The hard part is, we have to get the money before that Lu Taizhen... In a clean and elegant room on the top floor of Liyun Building, the madam Feng Chi came in holding a short whip similar to a horse whip. There was a woman in colorful clothes sitting in front of the dressing table. She had a really charming figure and was obviously a good dancer. Her fingers were as white as jade, her skin was whiter than snow, her face was like lotus, her eyes were like stars, and she was so beautiful that she could shame the moon and flowers. It was a pity that she looked as cold as ice when there were no outsiders around. This girl is none other than Xiang Lan'er, the top girl in Liyun Tower, who is known for selling her art but not her body. Feng Chi, the madam holding the whip, was a little nervous, "Saint, this is too unfair to you, why don't you think of another way." Xiang Laner glanced at the whip in her hand and said, "It's just a few lashes. It's not an injustice." The madam Feng Chi looked at the whip in her hand. It was usually used to discipline some disobedient bitches. She didn't expect to use it on the other party today. She couldn't help but sigh, "Being whipped a few times is a small matter, but what virtue does Wei Kang have to make the saint submit to him?" Xiang Lan'er didn't care, combing her hair and said, "Don't worry, as long as I don't want to, he can't force me. Now that the Heavenly Palace is declining, the Demon Altar has reappeared, which is a great opportunity for my Demon Dao to revive. The competition for the leader of the Demon Altar is a major event agreed upon by the three sects. There must be a leader. In the end, which sect will open the Demon Altar and command the demons is nothing more than a competition of strength and power. Wukang Mountain is a major sect that refines talismans. It is very important for us to win the championship. Master has high hopes for this. If we can successfully enter and control Wukang Mountain, what if we give ourselves to him? It is better than us being in the dark forever. I don't believe in the heavenly way to eliminate demons. Who is good and who is evil is always decided by the winner!" (End of this chapter)
