Who Told Him To Cultivate Immortality!

  Chapter 20 Shang Family

  Facts have proved that talking is not necessarily a monster, it may also be a parrot.

   "What kind of monster bird is this!"

  Lu Yang was furious, and suction appeared in his palm, and he pulled the parrot over at once. The parrot was caught without even a chance to react.

  Xiangzheng could also do this, but Xiangzheng thought it was some kind of Qi-training stage foundation-building stage monster, so he didn't dare to do it.

   "Monsters! There are monsters!" The parrot chirped and refused to listen.

  Tao Yaoye heard the movement in the room, and hurried over to check it out, her mood was similar to that of Lu Yang.

   It's a good thing to complete the mission, and it's also a good thing to not have to fight, but the problem is that I came all the way from Wendaozong, and spent three days on the flying boat just to catch a parrot?

   How to write a mission report, it will make people laugh.

  People in Taiping Township have little knowledge and don't know this kind of bird from the depths of the rainforest, but Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye do know it, which is the most basic knowledge in Wendaozong.

   "As expected of the Taoist priest, he captured the monster bird easily!" After Xiangzheng and others learned that the parrot was caught, they all praised Lu Yang, saying that he had a high level of cultivation.

  The two were helpless, patiently explained to everyone, saying that this is a very common bird, but it is not common in the northern part of the mainland.

   "This parrot... is what you call a demon bird. It is best at imitating human speech."

   "Imitate people's speech, imitate people's speech." The parrot kept barking beside him, Lu Yang pinched the parrot's beak, and continued to explain to everyone.

   "It called Zhang Guanjia a monster, not because it wanted to call it, but because it heard Tailor Feng call 'monster' before, so it followed suit. When it met Zhang Guanjia, it happened to repeat it."

  Zhang Guanjia heaved a sigh of relief, as expected of a disciple of Wendao Sect, his grievances were cleared up when he first came.

   "In the same way, it shouted 'Who are you, where is Zhang Guanjia?' It's the same, it can't understand the meaning of this sentence, it just heard it from somewhere, and repeats it meaninglessly."

   "Damn it, watch me kill it." Zhang Guanjia was furious when he saw the parrot.

  Lu Yang raised his hand and stopped Zhang Guanjia: "This place is half a continent away from the rainforest. This bird must have not flown here by itself, but was brought here by someone."

   "Except for some people who are bored and would not hesitate to cross half a continent to bring this parrot that has no use other than rarity, only the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce will do this kind of thing on purpose."

   "Is there a landed money chamber of commerce here?"

Xiangzheng shook his head: "Will the Chamber of Commerce be opened in our small and remote place in the backcountry, but there is one in Quhe County, which is located in the most prosperous area, and there are endless streams. It may be that after someone bought it from the Chamber of Commerce, the parrot escaped accidentally. gone."

   As for the parrot escaping directly from the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce, that is absolutely impossible.

  Lu Yang asked again: "This bird has been around Taiping Township for 20 days, and has not gone to other places. Maybe its owner is here. I don't know what Xiangzheng thinks?"

  Xiangzheng thought for a while before saying: "Everyone in this township knows about the monster bird. If there is anyone who might not know, it is the Shang family in the east."

   "The Shang family seldom goes out and is unwilling to talk with others. It is said that it is because the head of the Shang family is also a practitioner. He suffered setbacks when he was young, and his cultivation base plummeted. Since then, he lost his desire to practice and lived in seclusion here."

   "The Shang family has considerable financial resources and is the richest man in the local area. It is reasonable to say that they bought the demon bird from the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce."

   "In that case, then go ask the Shang family."

  Taiping Township is not big, three people and one bird soon arrived at Shang's door.

  After a knock on the door, someone opened the door soon. It was a middle-aged man with a mustache, dressed in a Confucian robe, looking refined.

   "It turned out to be Xiangzheng. I don't know who these two are, so I can inform the master." The man with mustache said.

  Lu Yang held the parrot's wings, like a rooster waiting to be slaughtered when visiting during the Chinese New Year: "We found this parrot by chance, after asking around, we thought it might belong to the Shang family, so we came here to inquire."

  The man with the mustache first saw Tao Yaoye and was surprised. He had never seen a woman as beautiful as Tao Yaoye.

He looked at the green parrot and showed a joyful smile: "So that's the case, thank you two young heroes, this should be my lady's parrot. Since the parrot was lost, I have been depressed all day long, which makes it very difficult for us servants." It's difficult."

   "Miss knows how happy the parrot is found."

  Xiangzheng tilted his head and whispered, "He is the housekeeper of the Shang family, surnamed Zhang. Every time I come to the Shang family, he opens the door."

  The housekeeper Zhang hurried to report and got a reply soon.

   "Master, invite the three of you to enter."

  Passing through the screen door, passing by the outer courtyard, from the second door to the corridor and then to the main room, I saw the head of the Shang family.

  Shang Jiajia's main body is rich, and the gloomy look on his face keeps people away from others, and he is unwilling to talk too much with people. However, he can still see it when he sees Xiangzheng. He is quite happy.

   "Brother Huang, it's been a long time."

  The surname of Xiangzheng is Huang.

  The two bowed their hands and saluted.

The Patriarch of the Shang family looked at the parrot again for a moment, nodded and said: "Well, it's not wrong, this is what my daughter bought from the local money chamber of commerce in the county. At that time, I thought this broken bird was not worth a lot of money. If I had to buy it, I had no choice but to follow her wish."

   "Steward Zhang, take the two young heroes to meet Xiaoyuan."

   "Yes, sir."

  The steward Zhang made a gesture of invitation, and beckoned to the maid, who asked her to serve tea and water for the Patriarch of the Shang family and Huang Xiangzheng.

  On the way, Tao Yaoye asked casually: "How long has Steward Zhang been in the Shang family?"

  Steward Zhang said respectfully: "Master saved me on the way back to hermitage. Since then, I have been serving Master. Counting the time, it has been twenty years. Miss was not born at that time."

   "Speaking of which, the relationship between Miss Shang and you should be quite good."

   "To tell you the truth, young heroes, I watched the young lady grow up. I have no children. I treat the young lady like my own daughter. The young lady is depressed all day long, and I, the housekeeper, feel distressed when I see it."

  Lu Yang suddenly asked: "Were you there when the parrot was lost?"

Zhang Butler sighed, and could feel the self-blame in his tone: "At that time, I was distracted and didn't notice the parrot flying away. If I had paid more attention, I wouldn't have made Miss so sad. This is my negligence. "

  Lu Yang let out an oh, and said nothing more.

  Butler Zhang tapped three times, and said in a leisurely manner: "Miss, the parrot you escaped has been found. It is two young heroes who wandered around the rivers and lakes. They came with the parrot."

  A voice came from the room: "Then let them in."

"yes."

  Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye opened the door, Miss Shang leaned against the window, reading a book quietly, the evening sun shone on the tips of her hair, as if time was frozen, with a static beauty.

  In Taiping Township, I don't know how many teenagers are obsessed with Miss Shang's family.

  Lu Yang kindly reminded: "Reading in the sun is not good for your eyes, especially in the setting sun. Light a lamp, your father is not short of money."
