Chapter 332 Kou Zhao's Intentions and Choices
Even if Qing'er didn't send a message, Yang Che still planned to return to Xuanwu City.
He also wanted to complete the 'teleportation array' at Huangyuan No. 66 as soon as possible.
During the more than a year of engraving formations, Yang Che actually carved the 'teleportation formation pattern' recorded on the formation jade slip given to him by Fairy Shuangyue.
Regarding the 'teleportation array' at No. 66 of Huangyuan, Yang Che had already made plans in his mind and was preparing to make a bold attempt.
As for the main material 'Agate Horn' for making the teleportation array base, as well as more 'Thousands of Silver' needed for refining the flying needle magic weapon, Yang Che had also greeted Kou Zhao before and asked him to pay attention and collect them on his behalf.
Therefore, after Yang Che returned to Xuanwu City, he did not go back to No. 66 Huangyuan first, but first came to Duanmufang in Xuanwu City and arrived in front of Kou Zhao's shop.
The shop was closed and not open for business.
Yang Che was worried at first whether Kou Zhao could repay the debts of the Duanmu family, and the shop had been wiped out.
However, when he saw the new signboard above called 'Jinzhao Pavilion', Yang Che felt that it was unlikely to escape.
Otherwise, the name on this should have been changed long ago.
But this is just Yang Che's guess.
Yang Che rolled his eyes and inquired carefully in nearby shops, finally confirming that Kou Zhao was just out for business and the shop had not been driven out.
After thinking about it, Yang Che took out the jade slip that Kou Zhao and Kou Zhao left for communication, and was about to crush it when a slim and beautiful young woman suddenly walked next to him.
This woman's cultivation in the middle stage of pill formation seems to be good at keeping her appearance.
The woman saw that Yang Che had been stopping in front of Jinzhao Pavilion, so she stepped forward and bowed: "Fellow Taoist, do you know the owner of this pavilion?"
Before Yang Che opened his mouth, the woman suddenly said again: "Dare to ask my friend, but Zhang Guzhang, my friend?"
Yang Che was surprised: "Do you know me?"
"It turns out it is really fellow Taoist Zhang. Nice to meet you. My name is Duanmiqin. Please come to the room quickly."
Duanmiqin came to the door of the store, played a spell, and the door of the store opened.
"Duanmiqin?"
Yang Che was startled and felt that the name sounded slightly familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
The sea of memories surged, and Yang Che quickly remembered it.
Before rescuing Kou Zhao in the Hanyang Realm, Kou Zhao had wanted to ask him to take a brocade handkerchief to the Xuanwu Realm and give it to the Duanmu Qin of the Duanmu family.
The Duanxylophone in front of me is undoubtedly the Duanxylophone that Kou Zhao mentioned back then.
Yang Che was about to find Kou Zhao, so he walked slowly to the door of the shop. Before he stepped in, he was suddenly stunned.
In the small store, the shelves were filled with agate horns and Qianxu silver.
Seeing that Yang Che's eyes were fixed on these agate horns and Qianxu silver, Duanmiqin couldn't help but smile helplessly:
"Kou Zhao has been collecting agate horns and Qianxu silver like crazy in the past two years. Almost 80% of the agate horns and Qianxu silver inside and outside Xuanwu City have been brought to Jinzhao Pavilion. It's strange to say, He collected these and neither sold them nor put them in storage bags, but kept them here.”
Duanmiqin said, shaking his head, his eyes full of confusion.
At this time, she also took out a transmission talisman and crushed it.
Yang Che was also extremely puzzled and thought to himself: "What does this guy mean? Has he made a fortune!"
However, seeing so many agate horns and Qianxu silver, Yang Che still felt warm in his heart, and his brows and eyes were full of uncontrollable joy.
Duanmiqin specially made a place, brewed some good spiritual tea, and invited Yang Che to sit down.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, thank you for saving Kou Zhao back then."
Duanmiqin suddenly bowed deeply to Yang Che.
"Fellow Taoist Duanmu, you're welcome."
Yang Che stretched out his hand to help, and then asked: "Where has Brother Kou gone? When will he come back?"
Duanmuqin said: "He, I heard that a shop in 'Yuwenfang' had obtained a batch of 'Yunguang Stones', so I rushed over immediately and wanted to buy it. Unexpectedly, the owner of this shop offered too high a price, so he kept pestering me. Shopkeeper, bargain."
When Yang Che heard about 'Yun Guang Stone', he remembered that he had indeed told Kou Zhao that if he encountered 'Yun Guang Stone', he could also help collect it.
"This Kou Zhao is really..."
Yang Che felt Kou Zhao's friendship and couldn't help but smile on his face.
After waiting for a while, Kou Zhao came back.
"Oh, Brother Zhang, you're finally here."
Kou Zhao walked into the shop with a wine jar in his hand, sat down, put the spiritual tea aside, poured a large bowl of wine for Yang Che, and said happily: "Brother Zhang, have a taste." Zui "Xianjiang', a fine spiritual wine."
The two of them each picked up a large bowl, touched it lightly, and drank it all in one gulp.
The aura is permeated and refreshing, without losing the warmth and mellow aroma of the wine. It is really a good spiritual wine.
"Qin'er, would you like a bowl too?"
Kou Zhao smiled and took out a jade bowl. After filling it, he held it up in both hands and handed it to Duanmuqin. He looked straight and said, "Qin'er, thank you for your hard work."
Duanmiqin rolled her eyes at him, looked at Yang Che and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang is still here. You guys hurry up and get down to business."
After saying that, Duanmiqin went out.
Kou Zhao immediately pointed to the agate horns and Qianxu silver on the shelf and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, how about a surprise? I put them here specially to wait for you to come and give you a surprise."
"Brother Kou, this is indeed a surprise. Thank you very much. How many spiritual stones are these in total?"
Yang Che asked with a smile, preparing to take out the spirit stone and give it to Kou Zhao.
Who would have thought that Kou Zhao suddenly straightened up and said, "Brother Zhang, the grace of saving your life is unparalleled. What is it worth? I, Kou Zhao, think of it as repaying your kindness."
Yang Che waved his hands and said, "Brother Kou, how can this be possible? If this is the case, how can I dare to ask you for help in the future?"
Kou Zhao suddenly took a big gulp of spirit wine, and then said:
"Brother Zhang, if you want to ask me for help in the future, I, Kou Zhao, may not be able to help you. I hope Brother Zhang will forgive me."
"Oh? What happened?" Yang Che felt something was wrong.
At this time, Duanmu Qin returned to the store without knowing when.
She walked gently to Kou Zhao, put her hand on his shoulder, then turned her head and whispered to Yang Che:
"Daoyou Zhang, to be honest. Kou Zhao originally owed my Duanmu family a huge debt. If nothing unexpected happens, he can't pay it back even if he pays it back for a hundred years.
My ancestor has said that if we want to become Taoist couples, either Kou Zhao will pay off the debt immediately, or Kou Zhao will marry into my Duanmu family and hand over all the Kou family's belongings to the Duanmu family. And from now on, Kou Zhao and I need to leave Xuanwu City and go to the 'Taimo Realm' under the Xuanwu Realm to help manage my Duanmu family's industry there."
When Yang Che heard this, he immediately understood.
It seems that Kou Zhao should have chosen the path of 'marrying into the family'.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, carefully observing Kou Zhao's expression, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
After a while, he suddenly looked at Duanmu Qin and said:
"Daoyou Duanmu, if you are right, Brother Kou can collect so many agate horns and thousand-bearded silver, it should be the spirit stones you provided, right?"
Duanmu Qin did not comment.
Yang Che said again: "Then Daoyou Duanmu, please calculate how many spirit stones are there in total? I must pay for this spirit stone."
"Brother Zhang..." Kou Zhao suddenly looked a little angry.
Duanmu Qin said: "Daoyou Zhang, this is Kou Zhao's intention. So we will not accept the spirit stones."
Kou Zhao immediately cast a grateful look at Duanmu Qin.
"In that case, then Zhang thank you very much."
Yang Che laughed, rolled up his sleeves, and put all the agate horns and thousand-bearded silver in the room into the magic stone space.
After drinking with Kou Zhao, Yang Che said goodbye and left Duanmufang.
But he did not go far, but found a place nearby to meditate quietly until nightfall.
After nightfall, Yang Che took out the jade slips of communication that he and Kou Zhao had exchanged with each other and crushed them to pieces.
