Mysterious Catastrophe

Aaron walked out of the Hawkins Wax Museum with a grim look on his face.

During this period of time, no matter how intimidating he was or even felt psychic, the wax figure of Guo Shanhu seemed to be dead and no longer shed tears.

And this wax figure is obviously Mr. Hawkins' favorite, and he is not willing to sell it.

Even if he sells, Aaron may not be able to afford it.

The point is...it doesn't work!

If he really found out how to use the wax figure, maybe Liang Shangjun would be willing to do it.

"Would Mr. Bai come to see the wax figure again?"

Just at the door, he met the couple again.

The woman held the baby with a vigilant look on her face.

Wearing round glasses, the very bookish man smiled: "My friend, you are really naughty, but I like the lollipop I gave you last time...Thank you."

He clasped his fists together again: "My humble servant, Shi Mingsi, works in the Hongshang Press. This time, I am traveling with my wife. Because my lover likes this place very much, I stayed for a few more days..."

"So it's Brother Shi, I'm sorry... Shu! Just a mere warrior..." Aaron also saluted: "Where is Brother Shi planning to go next?"

"Now there is still work in the library, and I am preparing to return to Jinhu with my wife." Shi Mingsi replied with a smile.

"I see... I'm going to Jinhu too." Aaron said.

Jinhu is the first port city of Daxuan, with all kinds of teachings and nine streams, with a population of more than ten million, and the mixture of fish and dragons to the extreme, just suitable for hiding!

What's more...he vaguely remembered that one of the backup escape routes for Cheng Dongnan, the head of the Qiankun Society, was to go to Jinhu!

"It's not necessary to go home and meet a lot of relatives, it's better to go directly to Jinhu to develop..."

'By the way, you can also search for information on strange spells and strange things. '

Aaron already understood that although his golden finger ran away from the core, he couldn't instantly purify the pollution and exempt the price.

But it still retains a little ability, which can transfer pollution or cost in the form of combination medicine, drawing symbols, etc.!

If you can find related strange art items, or even the "Book of Shocking World", you will definitely get a lot of gains.

'And in normal times, one's own martial arts can't be inferior...Although today's grand master is also shot down by a single shot...but generally speaking, the higher the martial arts, the faster the movement, and the less likely it is to be killed. '

……

Oh oh oh!

A small steamer slowly left the pier, emitting smoke.

On the deck, Shi Mingsi saw Aaron again.

However, at this time, Aaron had changed his outfit and was wearing a dark Chinese tunic suit, looking like a student in school.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little good: "Little brother...we meet again."

"Editor History."

Aaron stepped forward with a smile, and did not say that he deliberately followed this family on the passenger ship: "I wrote a manuscript here, and I want you to read it."

"Oh?"

Shi Mingsi looked at the stack of papers in Aaron's hands, and smiled: "It happens that the journey is boring, and I am about to read a masterpiece, um, "The Legend of the Swordsman in Shushan"?"

"I only have a little martial arts, and I want to make a living in Jinhu. I heard that writers are more popular..."

Aaron seemed a little embarrassed and authentic.

"Well, if the writing is fluent, and the manuscript is accepted by magazines, newspapers, and libraries, it is indeed quite good to get 2 to 3 Long Yang for a thousand characters, but unfortunately...Compared with these people, there are so many rejected manuscripts , like a crucian carp crossing the river."

Shi Mingsi tactfully persuaded him, seeing Aaron's indifferent expression, he couldn't help but laugh, and turned to the first page of the manuscript: "Dagan Cultivation World..."

The writing was fairly fluent, so he could read it.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "What are the so-called realms of refining Qi, building foundations, forming alchemy, and Yuanying?"

"It's all Taoist terminology, I just made it up..." Aaron replied.

After reading it for a long time, Shi Mingsi sighed: "Brother Bai... Your novel is so well written, it makes me feel like there really is that world..."

'Of course, this is my personal experience.Guaranteed to be absolutely authentic and delicate...'

Aaron rolled his eyes in his heart, but smiled on his face: "I think so too... Maybe I really dreamed of the world of cultivating immortals in my dream!"

Chapter 882 Settlement and Youth

Woohoo!

As the small steamer sails into the bustling port, Jinhu, the number one city in the world, is full of prosperity.

In the port, iron ships are like mountains and sails are like clouds.

As soon as I stepped off the pier, I saw a large number of people surging, like a tide.

The rickshaw driver and the car chased each other, and the surrounding watch shops, snack shops, and fruit shops were dizzying.

At a food stall, pan-fried buns, soup buns, marinated duxian... exude a tempting aroma.

"Brother Bai!"

At this time, Shi Mingsi also got off the boat with his wife and son, and found two rickshaws: "If there is no place to stay, I can introduce you to the Tiannan Merchant Guild Hall. After the contract is concluded, Brother Bai will have a place to live." Capital, you can move out."

"Thank you, but I still have some money on me, so I'm going to look for a house first."

Aaron declined Shi Mingsi's kindness, watched Shi Mingsi leave, and immediately called a rickshaw. While the rickshaw driver was running, he gradually became familiar with this city, which was only a novelty in his eyes, and not too prosperous.

After all, he just came back from Daliang.

And in Daliang, there is even the Internet.

Rickshaws also have advantages. They can easily walk through streets and alleys, and pass through alleys that can only accommodate a few people walking side by side.

"Where is that place?"

When passing under a bridge, Aaron pointed to a pillar with a dragon pattern hovering and asked.

"There is the 'Dragon Pile'..."

The rickshaw drivers are all local snakes, and this kind of tricks came easily: "It is said that when the piles were driven, they couldn't go down no matter what, and several people died. Later, I invited the master of the Jade Buddha Temple to come and see... After the dragon pillar was erected, the evil spirits below came Don't dare to make trouble."

"Oh."

Aaron continued to let the rickshaw run through another street.

Most of the warriors coming and going on this street are muscular, with bulging temples and bright eyes.

"Here...where is it?"

Aaron looked at it, feeling quite cordial.

"This is Wubei Street, and it's also a famous martial arts street in Jinhu. It's all about martial arts business...Because Daxuan banned knives, it's nothing more than an ordinary fight. Fierce, the search and arrest efforts are unusually large... so no matter whether coolies on the docks are fighting for business or gangsters are fighting for territory, most of them use fists and kicks, and they can't use weapons or guns..."

The coachman explained: "There are more people in demand, and more people practicing martial arts. It has gradually developed into a street of martial arts... It is not easy to make a living on this street. Those who can open a martial arts gym, They are all big boxers who have set up an eight-sided ring and survived seven days undefeated!"

"I see……"

Aaron nodded: "I like this place quite a bit, I'm looking for a place where I can rent a house nearby..."

Those who can open a martial arts gym in Jinhu have at least entered the heavenly position, and even the heavenly power may not be enough.

Maybe it's Tianji, Tianxuan, or even the highest Tianshu Grandmaster!

'It's a good opportunity to learn from experience. '

"I can't get the different skills for the time being, you can do some martial arts first..."

Aaron chatted with the rickshaw driver along the way, such as what to pay attention to when coming to Jinhu.

Sure enough, the coachman said: "Guest, you are a student. Apart from the government, the people in Jinhu who should not be messed with are the four major police officers and the members of the three major gangs."

"The four major patrols and the three major gangs?"

Aaron became interested: "Tell me carefully..."

"Needless to say, the four major patrols have an official background, and the three major gangs are the Cao Gang, the Hai Gang, and the Li Gang, and each eats a piece..." The coachman continued: "Back then, there was a daughter of a rich family who was in Jinan. I got lost in Shanghai, and it was useless to find the government... Later, I asked Lei Long, the head of the four major patrols, and Lei Boss solved it with a word."

'It seems that the four major patrols and the three major gangs jointly ate up the dark side forces in Jinhu? '

Aaron touched his chin, knowing that there must be shadows under the sun, and the appearance of such an underground emperor is inevitable.

Remembering the names of the three major gangs and the four major patrols, Aaron saw the rickshaw driver take him to a nearby residential area.

"The family here happens to be renting a house. The location is convenient. There is a snack street when you go out, and it is also close to Wubei Street..."

The rickshaw driver nodded and bowed and invited Aaron into an alley, then opened a door and walked in: "Second Uncle, I'm coming."

"You little red bastard..."

A middle-aged woman who appeared to be in her 40s came out and stopped talking when she saw Aaron as soon as she cursed.

"Auntie, don't you have a house for rent? I brought you business."

The rickshaw driver laughed.

At this time, Aaron realized that after drying off the dust and sweat, the driver was actually young.

However, the vicissitudes of life have made him much more mature than his actual age.

"Well, I'll come and see the room."

Aaron nodded: "If it's suitable, let's rent it."

Anyway, he didn't have much demand for the house, and he didn't mind the other party earning a little more.

After all...ahem...his other identity is 'Bai Xuan', but he is a well-known wanted criminal in Xuan Dynasty!

It may not be a good thing if you really take it in.

……

In the end, Aaron looked at the room and was quite satisfied, so he signed an agreement with the "Old Man Yu" family, agreeing that the monthly rent for the room was five yuan, and if he ate at home, he would pay extra.

During the conversation, he learned that old man Yu and his wife had a son and a daughter, both of whom were in school.

Hearing the other party mention the proud expressions of their children, Aaron understood after thinking about it.

After all, education fees are very expensive in this era, and it is indeed rare among ordinary people to send sons and even daughters to receive higher education.

……

Two days later.

Aaron walked into the Hongshang Press.

"Mr. Bai..."

Shi Mingsi greeted him with a smile on his face: "Welcome, this way please..."

Aaron followed Shi Mingsi into a small conference room.

In the conference room, there was a good-looking female employee who brought tea and snacks.

"This is Tiannan Dahongpao, please use it!"

Shi Mingsi handed over a cup of tea and said with a smile.

"Hmm... it really tastes mellow."

Aaron took a sip, and his eyes lit up.

"About Mr. Bai's novel, I have already read it with the editor-in-chief... It is going to be published in the newspaper office under the jurisdiction of this library." Shi Mingsi handed over a contract: "This is a long-term contribution agreement, 3 yuan per thousand words Yang, how does Mr. Bai feel?"

Aaron took the contract, glanced at it, and signed it with a smile after probably reading it.

"Mr. Bai trusts our bookstore so much?"

Shi Mingsi accepted the contract with some surprises. Although he was slightly relieved to sign it smoothly, and the Xuanchao people didn't pay much attention to the content of the contract, the attitude of the other party was still too casual.

"Naturally, I trust Mr. Shi's character after all."

Aaron smiled, in fact, he believed in his own strength.

Even if the printing press tricked him, he could retaliate at will, so he was naturally fearless.

While speaking, he took out a stack of manuscripts from the bag at hand: "Just in time... I wrote another manuscript of [-] words here, you can take a look."

"Oh?"
