After removing all the colorful satin and collecting the colorful magic weapons, Qian Yin left in anger. The mysterious clothes he wore were in excellent condition and had been loosened by the sword energy. Wu Shuang had not thought of cleaning up the house, otherwise he might have had a few extra pounds all over his body. Come to the ten holes. After hurriedly packing up everything, he put the two aggrieved green birds on his shoulders, then resigned and went out, meeting Yun Zhong and Zhao Ziyang at the door of the main hall.
"Junior brother, this sword is really good." Qian Yin took a look at the long sword on Yun Zhong's waist and immediately praised him. He was just thinking of complimenting Zhao Ziyang, but he found that the latter was not good at all. The object only had a blue brick attached to the waist, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Third Junior Brother, this green brick looks extremely strong."
It seemed that this second disciple of Nangong Mountain didn't know how to talk to others except for commenting on other people's outfits and things they were carrying. After hesitating for a few words, he turned to Liu Qing and saluted, with an unnatural look on his face, "Senior brother, , how much money have we spent in total in the past few months since we came down the mountain? It’s not that my junior brother doesn’t want to part with these hard-earned ordinary money, but he is thinking of preparing for emergencies in the future; our gate of Nangong Mountain has been in disrepair for a long time, and Master’s order I repaired the dilapidated road in the village at the foot of the mountain, and hired a gentleman to teach the children in the village. Although these are not troublesome, everything requires money. If the senior brother doesn't give me a penny, the junior brother will have to ask the master to scold him. Several times."
The words were desolate and bitter, coupled with Qian Yin's sad look, it really seemed like Liu Qing was being bullied by his senior position.
The scholar laughed and said, "Second Junior Brother, I am too worried. I am not a spendthrift. What's more, this money is what Junior Brother has accumulated over the years. Even if I take it all when I leave the mountain, how can I not spend any money?" How could a senior brother do such a reckless thing?" After saying that, the scholar took out a money bag from his sleeve and handed it to Qian Yin, "On the way, besides staying in a hotel and passing by, I ate in a restaurant once, and when I passed Qinshui Town, I gave Shui Jun Our junior brother asked for a good sword, but apart from that, most of the money has never been used. How much is used, junior brother can just weigh it with his own hands."
The fat man in Xuanyi took the money bag respectfully, placed it carefully in his hand, weighed it gently, and frowned as he appraised it.
Yun Zhong was suspicious. Although he didn't say anything, he still stared at Qian Yin's white hand holding the money bag, trying to figure out the clue.
There are many strange people in the market, and there are naturally no shortage of businessmen with very measured hands. Especially in Qiling, there are many porters carrying grain and rice. Once the grain and rice are hung on the shoulder of the pole, you can know whether the amount is enough or not, without weighing. , which saves both the buyer and the seller a lot of effort; but the second senior brother of Nangongshan in front of him is skilled in methods and has calluses on his hands. He is not a person who has been in the market at all. How can he estimate the ability to calculate money? So proficient.
Compared with Yun Zhong, Zhao Ziyang has seen many hunters who are very measured with their money. Hunters who can calculate how much money they can get by weighing rabbit ears and chicken feet with two fingers. There is always no shortage of hunters in the southwest of Yizhang. However, like Yun Zhong, Zhao Ziyang didn't believe it at all. This seemingly unreliable man could possess such abilities.
Unexpectedly, Qian Yin pondered for a moment, and his expression was filled with joy. Without caring about etiquette, he quickly pulled over his senior brother and asked eagerly, "Elder brother, don't bully me. The senior in Qinshui Town cast it for others." I am very familiar with the price of forging swords. I went to Qinshui Town to ask for all the swords, guns, swords and sticks on our mountain. It cost hundreds of taels of silver. It is hard for our little junior brother to ask for a sword. Only used more than a dozen taels?"
Since it was in front of his fellow apprentices, Qian Yin naturally would not hide it, so his words were not suppressed at all. Yun Zhong, Zhao Ziyang, and even Li San heard them clearly.
Yun Zhong was stunned.
I, the second senior brother, actually estimated the price of the sword in Qinshui Town without taking a sip of tea. You must know that the many passes along the way, as well as fodder for horses, dry food for daily use, even food for accommodation, and a meal at Lanyue Tower are all included in it. I calculated the approximate cost along the way. I really calculated the amount of silver I spent at the blacksmith shop in Qinshui Town.
This ability to settle accounts made Yun Zhong, who had been very poor in math since childhood, immediately opened his mouth with a look of astonishment on his face.
Zhao Ziyang glanced sideways at the appearance of the young man next to him, and he understood something in his heart. His expression was extremely strange, but his eyes still focused on the heavy wallet in the fat man's palm.
This bag of money will probably enable the people in the village to live a prosperous life for six to seven years.
Qian Yin chatted with Liu Qing for a while, and his expression changed from the miserable look he had just received after being reprimanded by his master, to a feeling of satisfaction. After thanking Liu Qing again and again, he informed his two junior brothers and was about to leave the hall. But he was stopped by the scholar, and Wen Wen poured a ladle of cold water on him, "Tell me, second junior brother, what do you want to do? That senior Suijun, Guan Yunzhong, asked for ten taels of silver, just to give him the sword as a matter of course." Well, in the final analysis, I still want to see how high my junior brother can reach in the future with his current talent. If you go to ask for a sword, I'm afraid you will be rejected by the boss. Besides, junior brother, you don't usually use weapons, so you can't Go to the blacksmith shop and ask for a strange dial."
So under the watchful eyes of several people, Qian Yin's expression turned into one of tears, and he said to his senior brother with a mournful face, "Senior brother, why are you so sharp-tongued when you pick up your junior brother back to the mountain?"
The scholar didn't get angry, but then gave Yun Zhong a meaningful look and nodded to the fat man.
The second senior brother looked at Yun Zhong, who was still looking confused, and then looked at his usually gentle senior brother, and finally grinned, "That's good, Nangong Mountain will not be deserted in the future, everyone will be warm. Being lively is a good thing after all, and in this way, the New Year will be enjoyable."
While talking and laughing, Wu Shuang stepped out of the main hall, caught a green bird from the shoulders of his two disciples, rolled a letter into a thin tube, tied it to the bird's foot, then released the green bird, and talked to Yunzhong and Zhao Ziyang. , "You two go to the futon in the main hall to wait. After a while, I will go there to pay homage to you. You can also go to the hall first, but don't walk around randomly."
There were only three masters and disciples from Nangongshan around.
Liu Qing picked up the formation.
"The vast swamp to the north of Shangqi cannot be defended after all." Wu Shuang looked gloomy, and when he saw Yun Zhong and the others stepping into the depths of the main hall first, he spoke slowly, his face tense.
The brothers frowned at the same time.
"With that person here, although monsters have been causing trouble for many years, it has been relatively peaceful. Why has something unexpected happened recently?" Although he had always been calm, Liu Qing still clenched his fists.
"The letter said that there are islands in Zeguo, which stretch for thousands of miles. When floods come up, they can retreat thousands of miles with just one move."
"Except for the rampant monsters in Beiyanze, there are very few living creatures. There is no reason for an island to be suddenly born, and there is no such thing as a giant island that can be turned over."
A middle-aged man in a long robe is hunting in the mighty mountain wind. The sun is tilting upright and he is looking thousands of miles to the northeast with an unreadable expression.
Even he couldn't figure out what it meant to be able to retreat to the extremes.
It's not so much that I can't think of it, but that I dare not think of it.
The two swords at his waist rang out in unison.
"By the way, don't tell them about this. The mountains are so strange that it's not the time for them to go there yet."
