Chapter 622 Practice. Cultivation

The good party was disturbed by Zhan Tianyi of the Demon Sect. Everyone felt very uncomfortable, especially Yuan Taigang. He summoned the party, but in the end he got this far, which really caused him a great loss.

Although Yuan Taigang is a good gentleman from Duanfang, Zhan Tianyi's actions made him angry and he made up his mind: "In a few days, Tianhu will discuss swordsmanship, and we must understand it with him!"

Not only him, but also Jiang Xinyue, Faxing, Xiao Jiantong and others all had the same thoughts. Today, this place must be found in Zhan Tianyi!

They are the leading figures in various sects, how can they suffer this loss? After being fussed like Zhan Tianyi, everyone's face was lost.

After a brief greeting, he left one after another.

"Shopkeeper, pack all these things for me and send them back to the mansion!"

The previous table of wine and food was naturally removed. No one dared to eat anything that the disciples of the Demon Sect dared to eat, so they directly removed it and remade it. Now this table of banquet is new, but basically no one took the chopsticks. After a few people took a few bites, the dinner ended.

Li Xiake felt it was a pity, so he asked the waiter to pack these foods and deliver them to the mansion. Even if he didn't eat them, it would be good for the servants in the mansion to eat them.

However, everyone at the scene was a true disciple of various sects and sects. They had always been pampered. When eating outside, they had never done such a "shameful" behavior of packing. Now when they saw Li Xiake, a silver-robed constable, they even took away the table of wine and food. Everyone felt surprised.

Gongsun Hongling laughed out loud: "Brother Li, are you so frugal?"

Li Xiake said seriously: "This table of banquets is so sumptuous, it costs at least six taels of silver. You just took a few bites and stopped eating. This is too extravagant! Let the waiter deliver it to my house in a food box, and you can have a few more meals!"

Gongsun Hongling stared at her round eyes and said curiously: "Six taels of silver? Is there a lot of six taels of silver?"

In the past, she went out to have dinner with several senior sisters, but she always paid the bills. She usually threw out a ingot of silver and left casually. As expected, she was a child of the world, free and unruly, treating money like dirt.

Now when she heard Li Xiake telling the price of the wine and food, she was quite curious. Why is Li Xiake so serious for just six taels of silver?

"Hehe, it's true that he is a disciple of a famous sect. For you, money is something you don't need to consider. Is these six taels of silver more or less? Brother Yuan, tell me!"

Everyone at the scene, Gongsun Hongling's fingers are not touched by the spring water, so there is no need to say that Jiang Xinyue is the proud daughter of the Tianhe Sword Sect. Sure is always someone to serve, and he basically doesn't know about prices or something. As for Xiao Jiantong and Faxing, Sure is also someone to serve, or he doesn't care much about money. He may know about people's livelihood issues, but he may not know much about them.

Only when Yuan Taigang, as a disciple of the Confucian school, cares most about the national economy and people's livelihood, can he have a very clear and realistic understanding of the living conditions of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now Li Xiake asked him, and he was also testing him. If he couldn't even answer such a question, then in Li Xiake's opinion, his title as the number one young Confucian scholar would be nothing and not worth dating at all.

"Junior Sister Hong Ling, you may have been in the door for a long time and didn't know the suffering of the people."

When Yuan Taigang saw Li Xiake asking him, he immediately sighed: "More than ten years ago, one tael of silver could buy four to five stones of rice. Today, there are frequent chaos and prices are rising. One tael of silver can buy one tael of rice, and one tiny kilogram of rice. These six taels of silver are almost the expenses of a family of four in an ordinary year!"

He said this, with a shame: "I came to the banquet this time to invite you all. I used the money for selling words and paintings by my younger brother. I was extravagant once. I just wanted to maintain my demeanor. I didn't dare to ask the store to pack it and take it away. However, I am not as free and easy as Brother Li doing things. I do whatever I think. This is far worse than Brother Li!"

Gongsun Hongling said: "So, our meal is worth the annual ration for ordinary people?"

Li Xiake sneered: "The food ration for a year? More than two years!"

He glanced at everyone and said lightly: "Who can afford this kind of refined rice that is one tael of silver and one stone? Even if there is refined rice, it must be replaced with brown rice. Even if it is replaced with brown rice, it must be eaten with weeds, and it can only be half full. Now who can eat with open stomachs is an amazing wealthy family!"

Yuan Taigang was shocked and his face turned red: "I have been in seclusion in the academy in the past few years, but I have not had a deep understanding of the current situation, but I am not as detailed as Brother Li knows. In fact, just by looking at the constant natural disasters and frequent man-made disasters, you can know how difficult life is for the people today!"

He said this, remembered something and sighed: "The Li Xiake, whom Sister Jiang mentioned just now, was at the point of scrambling to fight with a dog when he became a beggar in a daze. If he hadn't been woken up by a punch stick by the dog, he would have become the first reincarnated god to starve to death!"

Li Xiake's face turned dark when he heard this. He originally thought that Yuan Taigang was quite pleasing to the eye, but now he thinks that this kid suddenly becomes disgusting.

The fact that his body had fought with dogs in the main world became a lifelong shame for him. The more famous he became, the more he probably would have been praised. If he became emperor one day, then this matter would definitely be recorded in history books and become a stain on the stain of the ages.

Although this was not done by Li Xiake, it was done by Li Xiake's body, so the account was naturally taken into account. After all, no one knew that there was another soul in his body.

Now hearing Yuan Taigang take his example, Li Xiake stared at Yuan Taigang fiercely, his eyes were fierce, and shouted: "Heroes don't ask where they come from! A real man comes from a poor or wealthy family, so there is no choice! The innate conditions are innate things, and acquired efforts are the manifestation of one person's work. You said that Li Xiake competed for food with a dog. Did the old master in Guangzhou lose food in the past and was extremely hungry. He only survived the situation of a month by his disciples begging for food and offering sacrifices? Is this kind of thing considered a shame? If you talk about money and food, you will talk about money and food, and you will do something that is not something that has happened!"

Yuan Taigang was startled: "Why is Brother Li so excited? Everyone knows Li Xiake's name, so I will tell you about it. Even the reincarnated gods like him are so hungry, which shows how poor ordinary people are!"

Gongsun Hongling next to him pouted: "He hasn't woken up yet, and it's just an instinctive move to compete with dogs. Brother Yuan, don't say much about this kind of thing!"

Yuan Taigang was stunned and immediately realized that Gongsun Hongling was a person who had a engagement with Li Xiake. He talked about Li Xiake's past tragic events. Even if Gongsun Hongling was extremely resentful to Li Xiake, she would be extremely uncomfortable to listen to such things. He said that Li Xiake was not good, that was to say that she was not good either, otherwise why would she get engaged with Li Xiake?

Yuan Taigang instantly understood why Gongsun Hongling was unhappy and hurriedly opened the topic: "So, these six taels of silver are already a lot of money in ordinary families. Brother Li is reluctant to waste it. That is because he is thrifty and does not want to waste it."

Jiang Xinyue was not interested in the issue of money and food. After listening to a few words, she left immediately. Faxing, Xiao Jiantong and others also said goodbye one after another.

When Gongsun Hongling ran out to chase Jiang Xinyue, Li Xiake shook his head and sighed to Yuan Taigang and Sun Boda who were still in the box: "Even the people don't care about their lives and death, they only know how to practice and seek the Tao, but they don't care about the safety of the world. What's the use of the Great Zhou Dynasty to want such a person?"

"What kind of skills do they practice and what kind of Tao do they practice!"
