C3201 Palace of the God of Sleeping
The hunchbacked storekeeper smiled, "Young man, I can't say this, or else I'll be in big trouble."
Lin Tian smiled after hearing that, "Then, are you selling this?"
The hunchback man hesitated and said, "You want to buy it?"
"I also want to set up a stall on the black market." Lin Tian gave a faint smile. Then, the hunchback manager immediately whispered, "Tell me, how much do you need?"
"How much is it?"
"One handwriting. A thousand. A hundred. A hundred thousand. If you want to buy it, at least a hundred." The hunchbacked storekeeper laughed as he spoke, but Lin Tian and the others on the side finally seemed to understand something.
Therefore, Lin Tian smiled and asked, "Manager, where did you get these things?"
The hunchbacked storekeeper immediately became alert, "If I tell you, then I better not be around anymore."
Lin Tian thought about it and said, "How about this, give me two hundred?"
"Alright then. Pay up first and come back in the afternoon to pick up the goods."
Lin Tian took out 20 thousand and asked, "Do you want this painting?"
"When I earn it, I'll come back to your place." Lin Tian laughed and said. The hunchbacked storekeeper nodded, "Alright, then I'll go prepare the goods first."
Afterwards, the three of them left the shop, but the hunchbacked shopkeeper didn't make a move for a long time. He made Xue Wangyou stand not far from the shop and ask, "Master, your method of following the vines and finding the melons doesn't seem to work."
"Let's wait first." Palace Head Su looked at Lin Tian, "You want to investigate the source of the handwriting?"
"The painting can be faked, but the handwriting definitely can't be faked." Lin Tian flickered with a strange light, but Palace Head Su was a little worried, "I'm afraid that you will end up poking a hornet's nest."
"Hornet's Nest?"
Palace Chief Su explained, "You have already been in the Central Region for many years to sell and buy paintings, but you still haven't fallen. That means that there must be a huge force backing you and you can keep searching, so I'm afraid of you."
"I'm not interested in this power. I'm only interested in the Heavenly Zither of the Sheng Yue." Lin Tian said.
Palace Head Su was suspicious, "What you mean is, through this, we might be able to find the Holy Moon Heavenly Zither?"
"Maybe." Lin Tian guessed as he waited silently.
In the afternoon, Lin Tian took the initiative to enter the hall with Palace Head Su when he saw that the hunchback shopkeeper still hadn't left. The hunchback shopkeeper smiled and said, "Here, your goods."
Lin Tian took a look and there were indeed 200 of them. They were transparent, as if they could be attached to the painting at any time.
"Manager, is this thing of yours reliable?"
"That's true. Ordinary people wouldn't even be able to tell." The hunchbacked storekeeper smiled, but Lin Tian smiled, "So, as long as I stick it on any painting, it would belong to Sheng Yue Tian Qin?"
"Right."
"Then if I start a business like this, will Sheng Yue Tian Qin himself cause trouble for me?" Lin Tian asked curiously. However, the hunchbacked storekeeper smiled, "Young man, are you afraid of others talking about this business of yours?"
Lin Tian exclaimed, "I'm a bit scared because I'm timid."
The hunchback owner smiled, "Don't worry. This is a common occurrence in Central State City. No one will look for trouble with you."
Lin Tian acknowledged and said, "Thank you."
After saying that, Lin Tian picked up these items and left the Painting Pavilion. Then, he found a nearby teahouse and sat down. Xue Wangyou stared at the shop and said, "Master, are we going to stay like this forever?"
Palace Head Su also wanted to know what Lin Tian planned to do. Lin Tian said, "This shopkeeper must have obtained these handwriting through some means."2
"But he won't come out?" Xue Wangyou didn't understand, but Lin Tian said after some thought, "Let's wait for an opportunity."
"Opportunity?" Palace Head Su and Xue Wangyou didn't know what Lin Tian was up to, but it wasn't long before it was dark.
It was dark and gloomy outside of the city, and outside of the city, there were lights everywhere. The sky was pitch black, and it looked very scary.
At the same time, quite a few shops had already closed, which made Xue Wangyou curious. "Palace Chief Su, why are they closing the doors when it's dark?"
"At night, for the people here, the weaker cultivation level would get sleepy, so they have to rest during the night."
"Sleepy?" Xue Wangyou was startled, but Palace Chief Su smiled and said, "Wait, you'll know soon."
When Lin Tian heard this, he recalled a rumor about him sleeping like a ghost.
Therefore, Lin Tian asked, "Palace Head Su, have you ever heard of sleeping like a ghost?"
"I've never heard of Sleeping Ghost, but I've heard of the Ghostly Steel Monster." Palace Head Su laughed, but Lin Tian asked, "Oh, can you tell me about it?"
Weak people usually have to rest here every day. The stronger ones will have to rest for a few days, and even the most powerful ones will have to rest for half a month. However, there's an old monster here who can stay awake for as long as he wants.
Lin Tian suddenly asked in high spirits, "Where is this person?"
"Sleeping Palace."
"The Sleeping God Palace?" Lin Tian was stunned, but Palace Head Su laughed and said, "It is a palace in the city, and he is the Palace Master inside. It is precisely because he never sleeps that many people acknowledge him as their disciple."
When Lin Tian heard this, he suddenly became interested and said to Palace Head Su, "Can you take me there?"
"This Sheng Yue's Tianqin, aren't you going to investigate?"
"I can use a shadow." With that, Lin Tian left a shadow behind. Palace Head Su could only say, "Alright, let's go."
After he finished saying those words, Palace Head Su brought Lin Tian and Xue Wangyou and left. The number of people on the street were indeed becoming fewer and fewer. Not only that, after Xue Wangyou took a few steps, he started to feel a bit sleepy, "So tired."
Palace Chief Su laughed, "In Central State City, this is a normal occurrence."
Xue Wangyou was puzzled. "Why is it like this?"
"Rumor has it that there is a power in this city that can make people tired before it gets to night. However, no one knows what that power is." Hall Master Su smiled wryly as Xue Wangyou was stunned. "Is there such a thing in the world?"
"Right, this is one of the special places in Central State City." "Master, the place we came from was a little strange."
However, Lin Tian laughed strangely, "No matter how evil they are, they are still the same."
Xue Wangyou knew that Lin Tian was not afraid of anything, so he did not say anything. Palace Head Su led Lin Tian to a palace.
Outside this palace, there were people kneeling down everywhere, praying to join this palace.
Seeing this, Xue Wangyou was shocked. "Is it that exaggerated?"
"Many people want to learn the ability to not sleep, so they want to join us. However, not everyone can enter the Sleeping God Palace."
Xue Wangyou was puzzled, "Why aren't you sleeping? Why is it called the Sleeping God Palace? Isn't that a contradiction? "
Palace Head Su smiled bitterly, "You have to ask that lethargy. He named himself, so who knows what he is thinking?"
