2600 The attentive big beard (1)

In the face of the enthusiastic officials, Tang Zhen quickly said that he didn’t need it and then quickly left under the other party’s regretful eyes.

“Brother, you really shouldn’t have refused. Since you’ve already become a cultivator, you definitely don’t have to worry about making money.

Since that’s the case, why do you have to suffer and live in a broken house?”

The big-bearded man shook his head, looking very confused.

“Moreover, with the monsters running amuck, our days are getting harder and harder.

As cultivators, we have to take the lead in the battle against the monsters, and we may die at any time.

I’ll enjoy life as long as I live, and when I die one day, I won’t have lived in vain!”

The big-mustached man’s tone carried some helplessness and a trace of carefreeness. He was trying to persuade Tang Zhen with his status as an experienced person.

Tang Zhen smiled but did not say anything. He really did not care much about things related to enjoyment.

Rather than spending money to decorate his residence, it was better to use it to improve his strength so that he could survive in the chaotic world.

As long as one was strong enough and lived long enough, what couldn’t they enjoy?

Therefore, sometimes, one should look far ahead and not indulge in some worldly things.

The two of them continued to advance in the city. During this period, they passed by the city Lord’s mansion. The big-bearded man even gave Tang Zhen a simple introduction.

In fact, he didn’t know much. Most of it was just hearsay. Because of his low strength, he couldn’t get in touch with the real high-level people.

Tang Zhen looked around and realized that the city Lord’s mansion was heavily guarded. All the people entering and leaving the mansion were cultivators.

Combined with the information he had obtained previously, Tang Zhen could basically confirm that there were at least five thousand cultivators in cleansing wind city.

However, most of the cultivators were in the ruins, trying to improve their strength day and night. They would not return to cleansing wind city easily.

Once the war started, these cultivators would gather together and form a powerful Army.

The Heaven’s Wall city paled in comparison. At least, in terms of the number of cultivators, it could not be compared.

Seeing Tang Zhen’s unblinking eyes sizing up the city Lord’s mansion, the big-bearded man immediately reminded him in a low voice, telling him to try not to attract the attention of the cultivators in the building.

“Don’t be fooled by the fact that the strength of the cultivators from loucheng city is similar to yours and mine. If we were to really fight, even ten of us together would not be a match for them!

So remember my words, never go against cultivator Lou Cheng, but be obedient and follow the arrangements unconditionally.”

The big-bearded man’s eyes flickered. According to Tang Zhen’s guess, he should have been taught a lesson by Lou Cheng’s cultivator.

Therefore, when he warned Tang Zhen, he had such an expression, as though he still had lingering fear.

Tang Zhen nodded in agreement on the surface, but he was laughing in his heart. If this big-bearded man knew of his plan, it was likely that he would be so frightened that even his soul would fly out.

Not only did he have to provoke the cultivators of loucheng, but he also had to kill all the leaders of mufeng city. Every one of them was an existence that the bearded man looked up to.

As they walked and talked, they unknowingly arrived at the edge of the city and saw Tang Zhen’s house.

This was a courtyard with its own door. Because of years of disrepair, the entrance of the courtyard was actually overgrown with weeds.

The door was already broken. A breeze blew past, making a creaking sound.

A few children were playing at the door, constantly digging the wall bricks. After seeing Tang Zhen and the big-bearded man, they immediately ran away with a guilty conscience.

The big-bearded man laughed and scolded. After which, he pointed at the damaged house and turned to look at Tang Zhen.

“You’ve already seen it. This courtyard has been abandoned for many years. If it’s not tidied up, it’s simply uninhabitable.”

Tang Zhen was also speechless. He originally thought that the official said that the house was dilapidated just to promote his business.

In the end, when they arrived at the scene, they found out that the courtyard was not only in ruins, but also in ruins.

Fortunately, Tang Zhen didn’t care about this. Otherwise, if it was another cultivator, they would probably be so angry that they would have problems.

“It’s fine. I just need a place to shelter myself from the wind and rain. If I feel uncomfortable, it’s not too late to find someone to clean it up.”

The big-bearded man shook his head and did not say anything more when he saw Tang Zhen’s open-minded and optimistic appearance.

The two of them walked around the yard and found that it was also full of weeds. The doors and windows of the house were already in tatters.

The big bearded man asked Tang Zhen to wait a moment. Then, he found a nearby neighbor, took out a few coins from his pocket, and handed them to the other party.

“Clean up the wild grass in this yard, and then clean up the dust in the house. Get rid of all the dirty things.”

The bearded man gestured as he spoke. The neighbor held the money in his hand and listened attentively.

After that, the neighbor greeted Tang Zhen, hoping to see him more in the future. He also said that there was a cultivator in his family and that he would definitely visit when he returned home.

After arranging for people to clean the courtyard, the big-bearded man pulled Tang Zhen and invited him to a nearby restaurant for a meal.

Although the monsters were running amuck, the people still had to continue living. All the restaurants in the city were still open for business.

As for the source of their food, some came from the vegetable garden in the city, and some were collected from outside the city, so they were not affected much.

However, compared to before the monsters appeared, the tavern’s business was much less busy. There were only two or three tables of customers in the huge shop.

After the big bearded man invited Tang Zhen to sit down, he called the service staff over and specially ordered a large portion of charcoal roasted monster meat.

At the same time, he also ordered a pot of old wine and a few side dishes that went with the wine. He seemed to be very familiar with them.

From the content of the conversation, it was clear that the bearded man was a regular at the tavern, and he ordered signature dishes.

Tang Zhen didn’t say much and allowed the big-bearded man to arrange it. He continued to pretend to be a young man who had never seen the world.

After the wine and dishes were served, the bearded man poured a glass of wine for Tang Zhen and then poured himself a glass.

“Brother, if you have anything you can’t do in the future, just come to me.

In this cleansing wind city, big brother still has some face. As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse.”

The big-bearded man had a heroic appearance. He raised his wine cup and downed it in one gulp. After which, he stared at Tang Zhen in silence.

Tang Zhen smiled. He similarly lifted the wine cup in front of him and poured the wine into his mouth.

“Alright!”

The big bearded man happily smiled and poured another cup of wine for Tang Zhen. After which, he invited him to taste the wine and dishes.

Tang Zhen had long since seen that the big-bearded man definitely had something to ask of him. However, if the other party did not say anything, he would definitely not open his mouth to ask.

The bearded man was quite calm, and he rambled on about all kinds of gossip about cleansing wind city.

Tang Zhen laughed in his heart. The big-bearded man was clearly still like an ordinary citizen from the past. He thought that he could prove that his ability was extraordinary by speaking frankly with others about the matters of the city’s dignitaries.

It didn’t take long for the roasted monster meat to be served, emitting an alluring aroma.

It was a red-hot charcoal furnace that was roasting a tray-like stone slab. There was a long strip of monster meat on the stone slab. It was cut into thin slices and sizzled when it was fried in oil.

The meat was evenly distributed, and the fragrance of the meat was overflowing. It was sprinkled with red and green condiments, and one’s appetite would be aroused at a glance.

come, come, come, quickly try it. You definitely won’t be able to taste this DISH Anywhere else!

The big-bearded man picked up a piece of fried monster meat and placed it on Tang Zhen’s plate, indicating for him to quickly taste it while it was hot.

Tang Zhen smiled as he tasted it. He discovered that the taste was indeed not bad, but it could not be considered a top quality delicacy.

He could only blame himself for having eaten too many good things. His mouth had long become extremely picky. The big-bearded man felt that it was a top-grade delicacy, but in Tang Zhen’s eyes, it was only passable.
