At the intersection of Wufangting Road in the small town, Hanji Food Shop.
Since the young man in black stepped on his face and gave him a slap in the face at Wufang Pavilion last time, this pastry shop, which has never been closed even during holidays in the past two days, has been open for the first time in the past two days. The door was not open, which made many people in the town who were used to eating the soft and delicate pastries sold in the shop a little strange and uncomfortable.
Some townspeople who are lucky enough to have done business with the Immortal Family from other places may know a thing or two about the inside story and feel that they can understand it. However, there are also some who do not know what happened specifically and will be very curious. In addition, the town has not been peaceful recently. Everyone would secretly guess whether that shop had offended someone, or if something strange had happened that they didn't know about? But no matter what outsiders think, inside this closed restaurant, the past few days have been a gloomy and lonely scene, which is not enough for outsiders to understand.
When the Yunlin Zong Wufu from Shijizhou, surnamed Jiang, arrived at the restaurant, he heard about what happened in Wufang Pavilion as soon as he entered the door. The Yunlin Zongzong priest from the tenth level of Wufu was, as expected, furious. The family surnamed Han simply lost any good looks. After a good deal, they finally negotiated an indefinite closure of the mountain and sent half of the family wealth of the fourth-grade immortal sect to the sea of clouds to hang on that mud leg. Under his name, this brave martial artist from the Immortal family, who was an expert in boxing, became even more furious. It was simply unreasonable!
It was also at this time that Jiang Gongfeng, who was in the Martial Saint Realm, finally understood why the slovenly man on duty had such a strange expression after hearing that he had entered the Yunlin Sect when he entered the town. , what a "lending you some good words"! Doesn’t closing the mountain indefinitely mean not seeing each other again? !
Zhang Jinhuai, the noble son of the Immortal family, has naturally not been in a good mood these past two days. Seeing the expression of Jiang Zongfeng, who is new to his family's mountain gate, he can even imagine how big a melon he will eat after returning to Shijizhou. Luo'er, maybe my ancestor who is the elder of the sect will have to skin him first!
In the world of the Immortal Family, everyone is striving to reach higher levels in practice. Even if one point of the Immortal Family's heritage can be exchanged for ten times or a hundred times the income, it is still too little. But with the word "Tianjiao" on his head, he received the task of being a disciple and went out to do business. In the end, However, half of the sect's family wealth was lost. With the current result, the people who will settle the accounts will not care what mission you received when you left the house, nor will they care how much of your original transaction was completed. What was a promising mission has now turned into a pit for people to be buried. Who can he reason with?
The enshrined Jiang Chang had a very bad look on his face after hearing the result. He stared at the two fellow disciples who arrived first with a gloomy look on his face. He lost all the politeness he had when they met inside the Shijizhou Mountain Gate and said in a cold tone: "The two of you have really made a good deal, and have led to this situation. How are you going to explain it to the sect after you go back?"
The elder He Zhongqiu, who was responsible for protecting Mr. Zhang in advance, had a bad look on his face, but thinking of the malicious expression on the young man in black named Su, he finally gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Come here. Before, no one had said that there was such a giant Buddha standing behind that young man. This matter cannot be blamed only on the two of us. From a fundamental point of view, I am afraid that the governor who is responsible for reporting the news will also have to bear at least half of the blame. !”
You can't blame him for not daring to have other ideas. Regardless of the young man named Su's own abilities, just talking about the Immortal Mountain Gate behind him, which is ranked second in the Middle-earth Continent, it is not something that anyone can do casually. Dare to touch that tiger's butt...
The Middle Earth Divine Continent at the center of the Nine Continents is the largest piece of land among the Nine Continents. Needless to say, it is vast and vast. Since the Immortal Vein Mountain Gate can gain a foothold in it, since it can be a neighbor of Linyuan Academy, there is no need to think about it. We all know that none of them can be described by the word "simple", but these are almost God's immortal homes in Jiuzhou Immortal Sect. There are also many strange lintels of the immortal homes, which are similar to Beiling Temple. Yun Zhongjun, the old Taoist master who fights with magic, and the Immortal Sect behind him belong to the category of people who can hold the second-grade rank steadily without occupying the top of the mountain. In addition to them, there is another type who occupies the top of the mountain but The kind of person who has not left a single person on the mountain for thousands of years is the immortal sect behind Su Sanzai.
The Immortal Family Blessed Land, which is also ranked second grade, almost never has a clear sect inheritance. It is said that it is just a group of people gathering together to meet each other, chatting with each other for a few words, and then choose a place with a good view to occupy the top of a hill. After setting up a stone monument, he was regarded as one of the hundreds of schools of thought. Then these people didn't even leave a gatekeeper, and went down the mountain to go about their own business. For hundreds of thousands of years, No one will ever go back to take a look at that mountain top and that stone monument, leaving a cave-like paradise with rich aura and profound celestial beings that makes countless people greedy and bloom wild flowers and grow wild grass there...
You must know that the establishment of a sect has always been a major event in Jiuzhou. Even the lowest level sect, the ninth-grade sect, will invite a few familiar friends from the world to gather together to celebrate when they set up the mountain gate. But the Immortal Mansion, which occupies the rank of the Second Grade, actually did the matter of opening the mountain so casually, which is really rare in ten thousand years. It is the only one in the entire Jiuzhou, and there is no other!
But they did things so casually. I don’t know what the other Dingtian Immortal Sects with roots in Middle-earth think. Anyway, no one has any objection to this, and no one seems to have any objections to it. Out of covetousness, the people who occupied the mountain just held the top of the mountain, and the others just let them do it. Not to mention that no one had any idea of taking advantage of that place, and they didn't even think of negotiating a business deal to buy it...
With this lazy and domineering style, he is still a second-grade person, and a mere fourth-grade member of the Yunlin Sect, what can he say?
Jiang Zhang sneered when he heard this and said sarcastically: "So now, apart from being too high-ranking and invincible, and blaming each other for words, you have no other excuses? What a eloquent person. Dao, I’ve come all the way here to support you, and you’re just going to show me this?”
He Zhongqiu saw that Jiang Zhang was speaking so arrogantly, and naturally he was not happy in his heart. You are the worshiper between the two parties, and I am the elder. No one is shorter than the other. If you really want to talk about it, my reputation as an elder is even higher than yours. One of the offerings is closer to the Patriarch Hall. Who are you trying to show your face to by being so weird here?
Therefore, Elder He also said angrily: "There is no need for Jiang to be so aggressive. No matter how good the deal between me and Jin Huai is, your surname is Jiang and he is a martial artist of the ten realms, and my surname is not. You're a useless snack. You're not too bad at the ninth level of Qi training. If you really want to fight, I won't be afraid of you! If you really feel that you are invincible with your fists, there is no need to mock us here. You can go out and fight with that person right now. Let’s compete with Mr. Su! You don’t have to be serious about beating him. As long as we don’t have to spend 50% of our wealth, I’ll just stay out of the way when I see you again!”
How to resolve the matter has not yet been decided, but the tension between the two martial saints of the Tenth Realm and the Immortal Qi Practitioner of the Nine Realms, who are considered their own family members, is already at war with each other, and they are very likely to take action if they disagree...
The young master Zhang Jinhuai, who had been listening quietly on the side, saw that neither side would give in to the other. On the one hand, he was angry with Chiang Kai-shek for being unreasonable and speaking like a sword. On the other hand, he was also a little helpless. In fact, both parties were smart people. , we all know that this kind of meaningless ridicule and cruel words are of no use, but this habit of always overpowering others in speaking and doing things seems to have been deeply ingrained for a long time. Not only the two people in front of me are like this, but in today's world, ten people Nine of them are of this urinary nature, and I don’t know where the different inheritance spread from...
Forced to have no choice but to make peace, the young man from the Immortal family reluctantly said, "Can you two listen to the advice of the younger disciples and stop arguing now? Mr. Su has a notorious reputation and is a dignified third-grade immortal. There are quite a few families who have been torn apart by him, not to mention that our Yunlin Sect is only a fourth-grade one? In addition, I would like to ask Jiang Gongfeng to calm down first. There is indeed something wrong with our business deal like this. First, there is something wrong. Knowing the reason for the young man's background, this is different from what was said at the time. It was really unexpected and caught us all off guard. Secondly, we did not consider the operation level of the matter and did it too simply and straightforwardly. …But I’ll forgive you for being honest, now is not the time to say who is right and who is wrong. I feel that if you want this matter to be successful, it is not advisable to fight with force, so you have to find other ways.”
Zhang Jinhuai spoke in a sincere tone. As a peacemaker, he naturally had to try his best to take care of both parties. At the same time, when talking about certain things, he intentionally did not say it clearly, saying half and leaving half. Firstly, it was inconvenient here, and secondly, it was also a reminder. For the two family members in front of them, this matter is not without reason. They must both know it in their hearts.
Jiang Zhang, who was breathing like a dragon, listened to the young man's words and felt that the boy named Zhang was pretty good at talking, so he glared at He Zhongqiu, then looked at the young man and said, "You seem to be a pragmatic guy." , unlike some people!”
He Zhongqiu was furious when he heard this, but before he could get angry, he saw the look from Zhang Jinhuai opposite him. He hesitated for a moment and then endured it. The young man's words were right, and finding a way to solve the problem was the top priority.
Jiang Zhang glanced at Elder He's resigned and resigned posture with a half-smile but not a smile, snorted coldly, then continued to look at the young man and said, "Then how do you think this matter should be resolved now? Since you have said so, I guess you are not aiming for nothing. Bar?"
Seeing that the topic finally returned to business, Zhang Jinhuai smiled slightly, but he did not directly answer Jiang Chongfeng's question. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at the small town boy sitting next to him who had always had no sense of presence. Han Yuanfu smiled and said: "Mr. Han, this whole thing started for you. Aren't you ready to say a few words?"
Han Yuanfu has never been to a rural school since the incident at Wufangting that day. He has always stayed in his own shop. His future is uncertain and he is upset and worried. On the one hand, he is worried after listening to it. After the words of the young man in black, he always felt ashamed to go to the school to see Mr. Cui again. On the day Chu Yuanxiao was cut off from his career, everything happened so suddenly that he sometimes couldn't even recall it. What was he thinking that day when he got up? Confucian sages have a saying: "Don't see what's hidden, don't show what's invisible, so a gentleman should be cautious about what he is alone." Su Sanzai's words made him begin to doubt himself. Is it really possible to honestly admit certain things...
The young Han boy who had not paid any attention to the conversation between the three of them before and was just in a daze was suddenly asked by Zhang Jinhuai on the side. Wei Kecha frowned, turned his head and glanced at the boy from the Xian family, and then looked at the two people opposite him who looked unkind. Senior Jianghu, after thinking about it for a while, hesitated and said: "Junior, I have an idea, I wonder if it is appropriate? Since Senior Su said that we need to wait for Chu Yuanxiao to come to settle accounts before we can unblock the mountain, can we? Let’s talk to that young man first? If we can get him to let go of his grudges in advance, can it be said that he has settled the accounts with us? Does it mean that the Yunlin Sect doesn’t have to close the mountain?”
This proposal... seemed to be something like that. The three people on the opposite side were a little moved. After considering it and looking at each other, Jiang Chang snorted and sneered, "Okay, this is not a solution. But since Elder He is responsible for ruining a person’s future, how about asking Elder He to discuss it with others? As the saying goes, the person who untied the bell must also tie the bell, and whoever poops will lick it clean!"
He Zhongqiu, who was sitting next to him, stood up angrily after hearing this and pointed at Jiang Chang, who had a scornful expression on his face. His hands began to tremble with anger, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He said angrily: "Jiang, don't bully others too much." ! Do you really think you are a great person if you are a ten-level martial saint? You are just a deserter who ran away from the Aolai Kingdom. It doesn’t matter whether the warrior is still angry or not. Do you think I am really afraid of you?!"
When these words came out, the already gloomy atmosphere suddenly fell silent. The word "deserter" completely angered Jiang Zhang. He turned his head with a gloomy face and looked at He Zhongqiu next to him, who was looking at the immortal spirit. His eyes were cold. Like looking at a dead person, "Can you say that again?"
He Zhongqiu, who was originally furious, realized that his angry words were out of proportion the moment he spoke. When he saw Jiang Zhang's eyes at this moment, he felt a chill down his back, but Yun, who was used to being an expert in the Xian family, Elder Lin Zong felt that in this situation, it would be too humiliating for him to give in directly, so he gritted his teeth, held his neck and said stiffly: "So what if you say it, so what if you don't tell it, no one knows between you and me. Whose origin is it? You are allowed to humiliate others, but you are not allowed to return the favor?"
That's what he said, but no one present was a human being. The two young men looked at each other with incomprehensible expressions, while the martial artist named Jiang smiled mockingly and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned his head and looked at the young man Zhang Jinhuai and said: " What about you, what do you say?"
Zhang Jinhuai bowed his head in silence after hearing this, and then said slowly: "Jiang Chongfeng, this junior thinks that Elder He is really not suitable to come forward in this matter. After all, this matter of ruining someone's future is not a small grudge. I am afraid I have to trouble Jiang Chongfeng to come forward in person." , the overall situation is the most important thing. After all, you are new here and you have no direct enmity with that boy. It will be relatively easier to talk about things. What do you think, senior?"
Jiang Zhang nodded slightly when he heard this, then turned to look at He Zhongqiu and sneered, "He Zhongqiu, remember, you owe me a favor this time. If you dare to speak rudely next time, I will punch you to death!"
He Zhongqiu glanced at Jiang Chang and then at the two teenagers. His old face was red from holding back, but in the end he still couldn't say another word. He opened his mouth and chose to remain silent.
Zhang Jinhuai gave the elder a reassuring look without leaving any trace. It was not advisable to get too entangled in this matter. It was important to solve the problem first, and other things would come later.
Jiang Zhang didn't know whether he didn't see the old man and the young man's glances, or if he did and didn't care much, he just got up from the armchair that had never been moved in the middle of the shop, put his hands behind his back and walked a few steps to the window. In front of him, he fixedly looked at the five-cornered pavilion named Wufang outside the shop door, and said calmly: "Then wait a little longer. Then I will go and meet the mud-legged guy named Chu in person!"
——
When he woke up from his dream, the poor boy was still a little confused. He looked around and saw that there was no one at the entrance of the town. The door of the sloppy man's hut was open, but there was no one there. He didn't know where he had gone.
Chu Yuanxiao didn't pay too much attention to this. Now he needed to calm down and digest the series of bizarre and surprising events just now.
Ever since the Red Lotus Sacrificial Drinker came, the young man felt that the stories on his shoulders seemed to be out of control. There were more and more stories. The nearly forty people including the old drunkard and the old watchman had to pay back their debts. He had no whereabouts, and ended up bumping into a Shuixiu Lake. Before the matter was settled, another Yunlin Sect appeared and cut off his future cultivation path. Only then did the young man in black, Su Sanzai, help him. Part of the justice has not yet ended, but at this moment, there is another magic sword seal in the backhand that is related to ancient times to the present... One after another, one after another, one after another, just like the wind and waves of Xuannv Lake, everyone said "The embankment is higher than the shore, and the waves will destroy it." But the question is, did he wave? Why did he have to be so tortured?
The boy had only one question at the moment, which bastard wrote him this bird's fate number? Just like building a wall, bricks were laid one after another. Is there an end to this ridiculous story?
The breeze blows slowly, and the old and new locust leaves above my head rustle, with endless echoes.
When the poor young man was distressed, a strange laughter suddenly sounded from the other side of the thick old locust tree behind him, which shocked the young man, "Who?!"
Chu Yuanxiao rolled up from the ground and carefully walked around the thick old locust tree that had to be hugged by several people. He saw a young man in black leaning against the old locust tree, half lying in the shade. Putting his hands behind his head, he looked beyond the low wall surrounding the town and looked at the Hidden Dragon's Back of Sword Mountain in the distance, which had returned to silence again, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
During this trip to Yanguan, the young man in black almost walked around the entire town after arriving. He even sat in the five-square pavilion for a long time while reasoning with the Yunlin Sect. But only regarding the four formations in the southeast, northwest and northwest, he deliberately chose to take a detour. He neither approached nor had any intention of exploring them. In the words of the third master of the Confucian lineage, the teacher. , it is called "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." Now, let's take a look at the battle half a quarter of an hour ago...
"Ha! Fortunately, I have foresight, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain it!" Su Sanzai looked far away and muttered in a low voice, but there was not much joy or fear in his eyes, but rather a sense of ridicule. What's more, I don't know who it is directed at.
After finishing his murmur, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the young man who had come around and stood not far from him. Now that he had discovered him, Su Sanzai glanced at him slightly sideways, and then turned back his gaze. He continued to look at the sword peak and said with a smile: "Oh, I want to sneak around and listen in the corner, but I can't. Why can't you learn from me? You can talk to yourself when you have nothing to do. So that I can know what is going on in your not-so-smart elm head?"
After saying that, he saw that the young man had no reaction and was still just looking at him quietly. The young man in black did not make any more teasing. As if he suddenly thought of something, he raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "After reading this today, After a big drama, I think you may not be able to wait until you spend that money, and you will have to worship me as your teacher."
Chu Yuanxiao rolled his eyes when he heard this, "But no one said that I must become your disciple. They just said that it is up to me to decide whether to become my disciple."
"That's true, but you have to learn how to cook as early as possible, right? The earlier you learn, the sooner you can become a chef. If you wait until the day you are half eaten by loess before becoming your teacher, I will always live longer. Maybe I won’t mind taking you in again at that time, but you might as well guess how many percent of the skills you can learn at that time, and whether you still have the life to survive until you graduate? If you make another pot of raw rice, smash it. If you don’t mention my sign, it won’t be delicious, right?”
Su Sanzai shrugged and smiled when he said this, looked at the young man and continued: "What do you think of this statement? Does it make sense?"
Chu Yuanxiao was silenced by these words. He raised his head and glanced at the old bronze bell that looked the same. Then he thought about it and said: "Senior Zhong said, let me find you and Mr. Cui, just say yes." He asked me to come to you..."
The young man in black smiled when he heard this, and did not look at the old bronze bell that could be seen by turning his head casually. He just glanced at the young man and said with a half-smile: "The ability to pull a tiger's skin to make a big flag." You are self-taught without a teacher, and you can use it just fine. It saves me the trouble of teaching you personally. But the tiger skin in your hand is of no use to me. You are a piece of shit like me. It has nothing to do with me, even if I am uprooted by some people, it will not affect me! However, you can go find the teacher, this statement should be useful to him, and it is still very useful."
Listening to Su Sanzai's words, the young man's mind flashed to the small-town private school teacher who always wore a green shirt and had a gentle smile, and he asked hesitantly: "Is Mr. Cui in the rural private school?"
Su Sanzai sneered, shook his head and said, "I'm not there. I don't know where I went. But this matter is very simple. It's not difficult to guess. The gatekeepers should all be in the same place at the moment. They are probably discussing what to do." I’m going to push you into the fire pit!”
The young man twitched his lips, how could he answer this? Of course, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Are you considering pushing him into the fire pit? What does this mean?
It just seemed that the carefree young man in black in front of him didn't mean to explain his doubts. He just smiled and said meaningfully: "I have figured it out these days, you kid. It belongs to the category of repaying a drop of water with a spring. From the watchman, to the couple named Han, and of course the little girl from the Xihe Sword Sect, you can see more or less of it. , but I still have to advise you, sometimes people can't be too straightforward. Don't think that as long as someone is kind to you, you can turn a blind eye to the big hole they dug in front of you! But not everyone has to pay attention to fair business. Yes, just like what your old drunkard said, if you go out without thinking, you will easily be deceived by others. Next time you want to agree to something, remember to think through it first."
After saying that, Su Sanzai stood up from the ground, patted the dust behind him, then glanced at the young man, and said with a smile: "Since pulling a tiger's skin to make a banner is a skill you have learned on your own, then these few words today are This is the first lesson I give you, and it is also a reminder before I leave, remember to understand it well."
After finishing speaking, the young man in black did not intend to wait for the boy's reply and was about to leave. However, he suddenly stopped after taking a step, looked back at the boy, and said: "I have something to do and I have to leave here. If you want to leave in the future, If you have any problems, use that money to come to me, but you must also remember that it is a promise to become a disciple. Unlike you, I have always been good, that is, I never help others in vain! In addition, although I have limited The Yunlin Sect asked them to deposit half of their family wealth in Yunhaijian within a month, but remember to confirm with that old man Fan. That little bastard named Zhang is a big slut and may not be able to honor it obediently. Also If you don't need it urgently for the time being, it's best not to take it out after they fulfill the contract. It's one thing to keep your wealth secret. The most important thing is that Old Man Fan's other abilities are hard to say, but money makes money. , Looking at the whole world, no one dares to say that he can compare with him. If he makes money with your capital, you can also make money with him. This is a very good business, and you will not lose money if you put it there."
Chu Yuanxiao looked at the young man and nodded in understanding.
Su Sanzai smiled and said, "I hope you won't be as miserable as before when we meet next time, otherwise I might not get angry and slap you to death."
After saying this, the young man didn't say another word, and he just took one step and disappeared.
Only the young man was left under the locust tree, with envy in his eyes and some fascination.
