Chapter 171 Settlement
Xiaxu, Tongfu Inn.
Zhang Yuan, who had just checked in, closed the door and put the luggage aside.
He planned to stay in the city for a few days and make plans after getting familiar with the situation in the city.
Because there is no shortage of money.
So Zhang Yuan booked a room.
The price of the guest rooms is not cheap, and the conditions can only be said to be unsatisfactory, so-so.
He sat down on the edge of the bed and unbuttoned his coat.
Took off the treasure map attached to his chest.
This treasure map obtained from Gao Orion once helped Zhang Yuan obtain the Red Blood Divine Weapon hidden in Qianfeng Mountain.
After getting the treasure, the map above will automatically disappear.
Quite magical.
It is precisely because of its specialness and Zhang Yuan suspects that there is another mystery in it.
I keep it close to my heart.
Normally it has no impact on him.
However, when he arrived at Xia Xu today, Zhang Yuan suddenly felt that the treasure map seemed to "come alive".
Sending him some kind of message.
It was just inconvenient at the time.
Zhang Yuan didn’t take it down for inspection until now.
As a result, he discovered that a new map appeared on the treasure map that had become blank.
And the eye-catching treasure logo!
That’s true!
Zhang Yuan’s hunch was correct.
This treasure map obviously has similar characteristics to the God's Nest.
As long as the treasure appears nearby, it will immediately trigger the display and guide the holder to hunt for the treasure.
Once the treasure is unearthed.
Then the treasure map will automatically clear the screen and wait for the next refresh!
Zhang Yuan feels that not any treasure can be favored by it - the trigger must meet certain conditions.
For example, a heavy treasure!
Zhang Yuan’s eyes fell on the treasure map that had been refreshed.
He could tell at a glance.
The new map shown above is Xia Xu!
The treasure sign is located near the East Ruins near the Zhong Ruins, indicating that it is underground.
Quite deep underground.
However, what puzzled Zhang Yuan was that the sign was actually moving!
To make sure he wasn't dazzling, he stared at the treasure sign for a whole stick of incense.
Make sure the treasure is moving.
This is very interesting!
Hidden treasure, as the name suggests, is a hidden treasure.
Why did the treasure house move?
Zhang Yuan was puzzled.
After much thought, he put the treasure map back on his chest.
New treasures are tempting.
But it is not what Zhang Yuan urgently needs at the moment.
He is not greedy.
For Zhang Yuan, who had just arrived in Xia Xu, the top priority now was to settle down and establish himself.
We will slowly study and explore the treasure later.
Even if someone gets there first, he will not regret it!
In the next few days, Zhang Yuan traveled throughout the entire Xu city and parts of the outer Xu areas.
Have an intuitive understanding of Xia Xu.
During this period, he encountered more than a dozen incidents such as gang fights, rivers and lakes battles, and martial arts fights.
But people are not surprised by this, and they will stay away as soon as something happens.
Few people gathered around to watch the excitement.
After this in-depth on-site visit, Zhang Yuan finally chose Waixu as his location.
An area close to Taiwu Mountain and Changtian River!
There are houses for sale in Xia Xu. As long as you can afford the price, you can buy a residence with good conditions.
But the environment of the Five Ruins in the city is very complicated.
There are many gangs and forces, a mixture of good and bad, good and bad, and there are so many people from three religions and nine schools.
It is very unfriendly to Zhang Yuan.
The most important thing is that his first choice for seclusion must be a place near the water! There are no suitable conditions in Xiaxu City.
On the fifth day after arriving in this market city, Zhang Yuan led a team of craftsmen and two ox carts to the outside of the city.
Oxcarts carry various tools and building materials.
The foothold he chose was ten miles west of Xucheng.
This is a "three no matter" area and has not been occupied by any gang.
The densely packed stone houses and wooden houses formed a huge settlement. Because there was no planning, it was as messy as a slum, and the roads were muddy and dilapidated.
Most of the people living in this area are fierce and fierce, with few women and children.
They looked at Zhang Yuan and others passing by with alert and indifferent eyes.
There are some greedy looks mixed in there.
Zhang Yuan was leading his mount, carrying a large amount of luggage on its back, and he looked like he was well-off.
It's normal to attract covetous people.
Zhang Yuan was not surprised by this. He responded to those malicious gazes with fierce eyes.
At the same time, the momentum of a third-level energy master is revealed!
Those disgusting looks suddenly disappeared by half.
Zhang Yuan walked inside with the hired craftsmen.
They didn't stop until they reached the river.
This is already on the edge of the "slums", and the nearest home is a hundred steps away.
"Master Lu..."
He said politely to a gray-haired old craftsman: "You are an expert, you choose the place."
This team of craftsmen was hired by Zhang Yuan through Yahang in Xucheng.
It is said that they built the houses quickly and well.
Zhang Yuan also purchased a batch of materials needed for building a house.
I saw the old craftsman walking around the area with his hands behind his back, and finally selected a location: "This is it."
Zhang Yuan naturally had no objection: "Okay!"
“Work begins!”
Under the order of Master Lu, more than a dozen powerful craftsmen immediately started construction.
Some were responsible for leveling the foundation, while others were responsible for felling wood and quarrying stones. The division of labor was clear and the cooperation was tacit, so the construction speed was quite fast.
In just three or four days, three simple yet sturdy stone houses were completed.
Then Zhang Yuan bought furniture from the city and decorated it.
The craftsmen built a high wall around the stone house and installed doors and windows.
It only takes seven days before and after.
Zhang Yuan’s new home is declared completed!
The efficiency is really high.
This house is definitely more impressive than the nearby houses.
But it won’t appear too prominent.
Zhang Yuan plans to plant some creeping plants inside and outside the yard so that they can blend into the surrounding environment well.
After paying the final payment to the craftsman, he moved into his new home.
Although this home is still very simple.
Zhang Yuan was very satisfied.
In fact, Master Lu did not recommend him to live in such a remote place near the mountains.
Because there are strange things hidden in the mountains, dangers can easily occur.
But Zhang Yuan had his own plans.
"Is anyone here?"
While he was wandering around his new home, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Zhang Yuan's heart moved and he went over and opened the courtyard door.
I saw a man in gray shirt standing in front of the door, about thirty years old.
Seeing Zhang Yuan, the other party clasped his fists and saluted: "My friend, I have taken the liberty to interrupt you. I'm Qu Hong, the manager of Xishan Collection. Can you talk to me?"
Zhang Yuan He nodded and made an invitation gesture: "Please come in."
The area where he is now staying is known as "Xishanji".
As for the so-called steward, Zhang Yuan generally understands the meaning.
He had already expected this person's appearance!
