I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 17: Domineering and Dreaming Again

After leaving the shop, Zhou Mu was still in a daze.

"five hundred thousand"

He smacked his lips and said:

"Junior Sister, this is too exaggerated, isn't it?"

"Just tell me, is it comfortable to sit in? Is it fast or not?" Hu Leying said with a smile.

Zhou Mu subconsciously lowered his butt, feeling the softness of the thick dog fur on the seat, and then touched the slightly cool and delicate black wooden armrest beside him.
Then he looked at the giant dog that was pulling the black wooden chariot at a gallop.

He nodded affirmatively:
"Comfortable, quick!"

Hu Leying raised her head proudly:
"Of course not. The chariot and ground dog that were assigned to me only cost a hundred thousand. Is Junior Sister treating you well?"

"it is good."

Zhou Mu nodded affirmatively again, thinking back to the astronomical figure of 500,000, and immediately grabbed Hu Leying's hand sincerely and shook it vigorously:

"Thank you, Junior Sister!"

He is really scared of being poor.
"In fact, it's more than 500,000." Hu Leying wrinkled her pretty nose, "The boss was once saved by our master, so he must have given us a huge discount. I guess he gave it to us at a loss. I don't know the exact amount."

Zhou Mu swallowed hard, touched the delicate black wooden armrest, then touched the thick dog hair under his butt, his smile becoming even brighter.

"Junior brother, look."

Hu Leying pointed at the passers-by on both sides of the street:
"Look at them, look at me, look at your eyes."

Hearing this, Zhou Mu turned his head and stared. People walking in groups of three or four on the street were looking timidly at the speeding carriage.
Seeing the look from the important person on the carriage, the common people immediately lowered their heads respectfully, fearing that they would displease the important person.

“This is wealth.”

The junior sister said softly:

"Do you think it's interesting?"

Zhou Mu's smile gradually faded. After thinking for a long time, he said:

"interesting."

“But it’s not that interesting.”

He is very candid.

"Yes."

Hu Leying exhaled:

"How can wealth and splendor compare to living for ten thousand years? No matter how rich and splendor you are, you are still in the breeding area. No matter how arrogant you are, you are still in front of your fellow countrymen."

Zhou Mu nodded slightly, seeming to understand the entry rule of Taibai Martial Arts School.

Anyone who enters the door will first enjoy wealth and honor.

After enjoying wealth and glory, it is time to calm down and practice cultivation.

"It's getting late."

Hu Leying raised her head and looked at the setting sun, dusk was beginning to fall.

She said:

"Time flies. We left home early in the morning and went to three shops. It's almost evening. Junior brother, are you hungry?"

Zhou Mu touched his belly and nodded affirmatively:

"hungry!"

"Then starve!" Hu Leying said proudly, "I still have to go back to make medicine for my mother! So, I'll take you to the best restaurant tomorrow, and the most beautiful courtesan, and I'll take you to bed tomorrow too, little senior sister!"

Zhou Mu coughed for a while and said with a wry smile:
"You can have wine and food, but the oiran, please skip the oiran."

"You have to go even if you don't want to sleep!"

When the carriage reached North 66th Street, Hu Leying jumped off the carriage, patted the huge white dog, and turned around and said:
"Junior brother, have you thought of a name for this dog?"

"Think about it."

"what is it call?"

"Just call him Big Dog."

Hu Leying coughed violently.

"You might as well call me Xiaobai!"

"Then Xiaobai, that's fine too."

Rolling her eyes, the girl waved her hand:

"I won't talk to you anymore. I have to hurry home. So, little brother, shall we see each other tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow, little sister."

The junior sister took two steps, then turned back, stood on tiptoe, stretched out her hand, and patted Zhou Mu's cheek on the carriage.

"Junior brother, remember, be a little domineering on your way back."

"what?"

Zhou Mu didn't quite understand.

Hu Leying said seriously:

"This is what Master said. It is human nature to be arrogant and domineering once you gain power. So once you enter a martial arts school, you can be a little arrogant. Of course, you are too arrogant now, so you are not allowed to be arrogant in the future." After a pause, she added:
"Of course, Junior Brother, you can't really bully men and women!"

Zhou Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"Okay, I understand, Junior Sister."

Only then did Hu Leying jump away.

Watching the junior sister walk away, Zhou Mu sat alone on the black wooden sedan chair. He didn't care about the awe-inspiring looks of passers-by, and just let out a long breath.

unreal.

Today has been so unreal all day.

The silk clothes, the body armor, the blue sword, the black wooden chariot and the little white
Zhou Mu touched his nose and laughed again:

"Good."

Then he sighed again:
"Is immortality only ten thousand years?"

"Ten thousand years seems like a long time, but it doesn't seem that long either."

"If a monster eats a human, it can extend his lifespan. But what about humans eating monsters? Is that possible?"

Zhou Mu suppressed this extremely 'treasonous' idea in this era deep in his heart, pulled the reins and swung them lightly.

"Let's go, Xiaobai."

"Wang!"

The three-meter-long Xiaobai raised his head and woofed, then started digging with his four paws. Amidst the flying dust, the black wooden chariot sped away into the distance.

It's getting late, and it's time to go home.

………………

From North 66th Street to North 57th Street where the Black Alley is located, there are eight long streets in between. It was not completely dark yet, so naturally we encountered a lot of people who were working with fire.

But this time, Zhou Mu did not wear a hood, and those guys from the Fire Hall stopped and lowered their heads when they saw the black wooden chariot.

No one dared to look at Zhou Mu's appearance. Even if they did, no one dared to associate him with the wanted poster on the wall.

Along the way, Zhou Mu drove the black wooden sedan faster and faster, the wheels kicked up a cloud of dust, and people on the road stood aside and saluted.

For the first time, he realized the true meaning of the two words "arrogant and domineering" and "tyrannical".

then
Trouble is coming.

Stopping in front of the entrance to the alley, Zhou Mu began to worry. The entrance was extremely narrow, barely wide enough for two people to pass through. Heimu and Xiaobai could not get in.
"This lord."

Just when Zhou Mu was worried, a servant with long hair came over with a smile. His face was dirty and his features were not clearly visible:

"Sir, are you going into the dark alley?"

"Yes."

Zhou Mu glanced at the boy:
"what happened?"

The servant respectfully pointed to a shop not far away, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a hotel.

He said:

"Sir, guests who come and go to the Black Alley sometimes stay late and rest in our hotel. You can also park your carriage in the hotel for free."

Just as she finished speaking, she realized that the last few words she said were not right and seemed to be insulting the adults in front of her. She immediately trembled and was a little panicked.

Zhou Mu's eyes suddenly lit up. Not taking money?
He jumped off the carriage happily:

"Thank you very much."

The servant was even more terrified, his legs were shaking, his face was sad, and he almost fell to his knees:

"I, you, me"

Zhou Mu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered what his junior sister said, and told him to be more domineering.
After a moment's hesitation, he threw the reins to the servant and changed his tone:
"Take care of the car, or I'll break your legs!"

However, the servant heaved a long sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and he was no longer so frightened. He took the reins respectfully, said "Hey" respectfully, and carefully led Xiaobai towards the hotel.

“This is so”

Zhou Mu shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He walked into the dark alley. It was not yet nightfall and there were not many people in the alley. Zhou Mu was too lazy to look closely and went straight back to the tavern.

But when I entered the tavern, I not only didn’t see any customers, but also didn’t see Sister Bai.

Instead, there was a note left on the table.

He picked it up and looked at it.

"My sister is busy, you are alone tonight, there is some leftovers in the kitchen, the pigeon followed me, I have rice, it sticks to me"

“This dead pigeon.”

Zhou Mu muttered a few words and touched his stomach. He wasn't actually that hungry, so he didn't rush to eat. Instead, he went straight back to the cabin and half-lay on the bed.

He took out the scroll from his arms and looked at it again and again, but he couldn't understand what it meant. Instead, he felt a little sleepy.

Zhou Mu suddenly had a premonition that he could go there again.

As soon as he had a thought, he put the picture of the soaring roc into the dark blue bronze order, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

The fog rose and dispersed, and returned to the dilapidated kitchen.
