I am a living immortal.

"Open him!"

Chu Wenyou gave the order, and at this moment the servants in the villa had already retreated, and only a few were left. These people were the Chu family's hidden chess pieces, that is, the death squads raised by the Chu family outside, and they were absolutely loyal to the Chu family.

Among these assassins, a fierce bald man came out and opened the box.

Inside are round clam pearls.

Each of these clam pearls is the size of a little fingernail, and they are rare treasures. There is enough of such treasures to fill a small box.

Yuannan, backed by Xunyang Lake, certainly cannot remain undeveloped.

Almost every family has a fleet. The purpose of these fleets is not to catch fish, but to catch clams. Fish can be sold for a few dollars. The real treasures in Xunyang Lake are the clam pearls spit out by the clams. Maybe because Xunyang Lake is a bit special, each clam pearl spit out by the clams in Xunyang Lake has a faint fluorescence. In addition, these clams live at the bottom of the deep water area of ​​Xunyang Lake.

It is very difficult to salvage these clam pearls.

It costs a lot of money every time, so Xunyang clam pearls are famous far and wide, and they are also expensive!

This box of Xunyang clam pearls is worth countless dollars.

As long as these pearls can be converted into cash, the Chu family can breathe a sigh of relief. What's more, if these pearls are only available to the Chu family...

Thinking of this, Chu Wenyu's eyes became sharper.

"That... uh, what did the Turtle Immortal say?" Chu Wenyou seemed to have thought of something.

"He told us to do what he said."

"Okay, go to the storehouse and get a thousand taels."

Chu Wenyou picked up a few more pearls from the box and gave them to the bald man, saying, "Then do as he says. We don't care about anything else. Also, keep your mouths shut about this matter, and don't let those useless people of mine know about it."

"clear!!"

Several people bowed and left.

After the few people left, Chu Wenyou stared at the box of clam pearls in front of him with an obsessed smile, and fell into an irresistible fantasy.

…………

Qingyun Lane.

Su Mu put down the books in his hand and couldn't help but sigh at the writer's sophisticated writing style. He made an old turtle into a lake god who protects the area. In order to keep the area safe, he risked his life to fight against the weather, resist floods and control water disasters. It was truly an epic of struggle that was worthy of praise and tears.

Before I knew it, the sky was getting dark.

The plot is very simple and even a bit ridiculous, but the writing of this book is impeccable.

As a miscellaneous book, it goes far beyond that.

“No wonder it’s so popular.”

After putting the miscellaneous books on the table, Su Mu stood up, stretched, and let out a breath.

He raised his hand and the broken sword flew into his hand.

Su Mu lay down for an afternoon to warm up and then danced with the broken sword in his hand.

Sometimes the sword is like a dragon, showing its sharp edge

Sometimes it flows like clouds and running water, from reality to illusion, like a dream.

The wind in the courtyard blows freely, lifting, picking, cutting and sweeping, in accordance with the will of heaven. Every breath and every move is a performance of heaven and earth. The sword shadows in the moonlight are like two people playing chess, coherent and natural, both hard and soft, elegant and graceful.

Every trace left on the ground contains sword intent.

At this moment, Su Mu seemed to have forgotten time. His heart and sword became one. There was no sword manual and no rules. Everything changed according to his own feelings. He moved at his will and at will.

Until dawn.

Su Mu stopped practicing swordplay, placed the broken sword on the table, picked up a cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and the aroma of tea filled the air.

carefree!!

The old goat was quiet at the moment, huddled in the corner and watching quietly.

Well, this guy is not quiet at all. He is just afraid that I will chop him by accident.

Su Mu was so helpless, dancing with a sword against a sheep.

I feel more relaxed than ever before. These days, the vegetables and fruits in the yard look good, and there are many fruits hanging on the tree, which will be ripe in a few days.

The days in this small courtyard are pleasant and comfortable.

The days passed quickly, one after another like a white horse passing by in the blink of an eye. The beginning of autumn had long passed and it was the end of summer.

The remaining summer heat is still there, but it is not as harsh as before.

This day.

Su Mu had just finished breakfast when she saw Wei Ming, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. He was still dressed the same way and seemed to be having a good time these days.

"Oh, you came empty-handed?" Su Mu asked jokingly.

"How can that be!" He raised the cakes in his hand and asked for a cup of tea. Of course, he had to bring some snacks.

"It's a big price to spend, Yuweizhai!"

Wei Ming emphasized it deliberately.

"That's a really high price. How many calligraphy and paintings have you sold?" Su Mu looked them up and down.

"Hey! Let's not talk about this. No one knows the goods as well as Brother Su."

"However, we have made a lot of money in the past few days." Wei Ming kept it a secret.

"Then come in and talk slowly." Su Mu said with a smile.

As soon as he entered the yard, Wei Ming felt refreshed. The vegetable and fruit area in the corner was already full of fruits.

There were two wooden chairs, a small table, a few fruit plates, and a pot of tea in the yard.

You can tell at a glance that it was prepared in advance.

Wei Ming was a little surprised: "Brother Su knew I would come!"

"Of course, I not only knew you would come, I also knew you brought good things." Su Mu pointed to an empty plate on the small table.

"Brother Su is a capable man. I admire him."

"That's still Brother Wei who paid for it."

The two laughed a few times, and they were not unfamiliar with each other. Wei Ming unwrapped the pastry and placed it on the empty plate. Su Mu poured him a cup of tea.

Wei Ming took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and looked at the Legend of the Lake God on the table.

“You’re watching too?”

"It's just for fun in my spare time, but it's just a word. Brother Wei, why don't you read the Four Books and Five Classics, or read these miscellaneous books on family and state strategy?"

"Hey! It's a long story, I had no choice!"

"Is there anyone forcing you to read this?" Su Mu asked.

"No one forced me to read it, but I had no choice. You may not know this, but the Legend of the Lake God is a real hit in Yuannan. The supply can't keep up with the demand. I've been copying this book lately and I'm almost sick of it. I've been copying it day and night. I've already memorized all the content by heart."

Wei Ming smiled bitterly.

"Oh, I've read this book too. It's definitely a good one among the miscellaneous books, but it's not that popular."

"You don't know that in Yuannan now, a copy of The Legend of the Lake God can be sold for one or two taels of silver, and sometimes even more. You also think it's abnormal, don't you?"

"I also heard that Xunyang Lake has been hit by a flood again. Now that the fishing season is about to begin, many fishermen have made preparations and are ready to go to Xunyang Lake to explore."

"But once you explore, you'll never come back."

"What's going on?" Su Mu asked curiously.

"Rumor has it that this is the angry river god, while others say it's a demon causing trouble. Generally speaking, it's probably because the incense offerings to the lake god aren't strong enough that this happened."

"Even several clam-fishing fleets in Yuannan encountered disasters and suffered heavy losses."
