Five taels of silver.
Say too much but not too much, say too little too much.
Of course - equivalent to Xue Ling's salary for a year.
For Jiang Liu'er, it was the money his family originally planned to use to save his life.
However, he was deceived by Yao Zheng in front of him, and was forced to live on the streets without a home and a hard time to return.
From this perspective, the weight of these five taels of silver is much heavier than a simple five taels of silver.
This is why Jiang Liuer couldn't help but punched and kicked the one-eyed ghost when he saw him.
But it's understandable that Yao Zheng couldn't come up with the five taels of silver. After all, he deceived children every day and even pretended to be the one-eyed king Xue Chong. You asked him to give out five taels of cash to kill him. Still difficult.
But when he heard Xue Chong say these words, Yao Zheng knelt on the ground with a plop: "Heavenly King, save me. The King of Heaven does not remember the faults of small people, please save the small ones."
Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian looked on with cold eyes, while Xue Chong quietly looked at the clown who was kneeling to him and begging for mercy: "Have you ever taken my name?"
Yao Zheng trembled all over: "The King of Heaven does not remember the faults of small people, the King of Heaven does not remember the faults of small people."
"I'm not an adult." Xue Chong looked at him and said; "But assuming someone's name and inheriting the person's cause and effect, this is the simplest logic, you don't understand."
Yao Zheng raised his head and looked at Xue Chong blankly, but Xue Chong just sneered: "Just tell me if you want me to pay these five taels of silver for you."
Yao Zheng looked around. When he was caught by Xue Ling, he had already suffered a lot from this seemingly soft and weak girl. It seemed that there was no good person around him.
In line with the principle of being good and not suffering immediate losses, Yao Zheng didn't hesitate much and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, thank you for your mercy, thank you for your mercy."
Just when Yao Zheng was thanking him, Xue Chong stepped forward and calmly slapped Yao Zheng on the forehead. He saw the poor man falling to the ground softly. Then Xue Chong waved his hand, and the beggar with the stick disappeared. Step forward and drag the one-eyed ghost away who fell limply to the ground.
Then Xue Chong dug into his pocket and took out two or three taels of silver. Then he returned to his bed, opened the bed and found another three or four taels of silver from the ground. Finally, he put it all together and got about five taels. He took some more money and handed it to Jiang Liu'er: "This is the medicine money I gave to that bastard."
Jiang Liu'er looked at the one-eyed king in front of him who was like an iron tower, pursed his lips, and shook his head slightly: "Why do you have to pay for him?"
Xue Chong laughed loudly: "Of course I have my own reasons. Anyway, I can't bear the loss."
Behind Jiang Liu'er, Xue Ling patted Jiang Liu'er's shoulder gently: "Take it."
Jiang Liu'er nodded and reached out to take it.
Xue Chong then ordered the beggars around him to take Jiang Liu'er aside to play, so in an instant, only Xue Chong and Shengjun Qian Xue Ling were left in the ruined temple.
Xue Chong looked at Sheng Jun Qian and Xue Ling in front of him and sighed: "Do you already know why I have to bear the karma for Yao Zheng?"
Xue Ling shook her head, but Sheng Junqian looked at Xue Chong: "I heard that Penglai Pavilion has a Taoist method of transferring cause and effect?"
"Young Master Sheng is indeed very knowledgeable." Xue Chong clapped his hands and said with a smile, "But I have little talent and little knowledge, and I have never learned this method."
"But clever causal transfer cannot be done, and crude causal transfer can still be done."
"Of course, this is a bit off topic." Xue Chong looked at the two of them and said seriously: "You are here for the sake of immortality, right?"
Xue Ling looked at Sheng Junqian, and Sheng Junqian smiled: "Before you come, this brother Xue Chong just mentioned that he is a disciple of Penglai Pavilion."
Hearing the words "Penglai Pavilion", Xue Ling's eyes towards Xue Chong could not help but change, because she did not expect that this Xue Chong was actually such a well-established character.
But why he was forced to hide in this small Song County and become a beggar leader is completely unfathomable.
"I am a disciple of Penglai Pavilion." Xue Chong sighed and said, "Since you have traveled around the world, you know the rules of Penglai Pavilion to some extent."
"Under normal circumstances, Penglai Pavilion disciples cannot publicly announce or admit their identity as Penglai Pavilion disciples. Unless they have done something good and gained a reputation, they can return as Penglai Pavilion disciples, and then have the opportunity to learn the Penglai Pavilion disciples. More advanced martial arts."
"What about you?" Xue Ling couldn't help but ask after hearing Xue Chong speak like this.
After all, hasn’t Xue Chong already admitted it?
"Because I am not an ordinary person." Xue Chong looked at Xue Ling and said, "I left Penglai Pavilion when I was twenty-one, and I am thirty-five years old this year. In other words, it has been fourteen years since I left Penglai Pavilion."
Xue Ling barely held back her laughter, because it was more interesting.
In ancient times, when a princess got married, it was called leaving the pavilion, but now, when a woman gets married, it can be elegantly called leaving the pavilion.
But Penglai Pavilion is called Penglai Pavilion, so there is nothing wrong with Xue Chong saying that he left the pavilion.
"When I first came out of the cabinet, I was full of ambitions, and then I became depressed and unhappy. I thought I couldn't compare to this. When I heard the news that the sky is never old." Xue Chong said quietly: "So I packed my bags and came to Song County. , I want to seek that immortal plant to help me break through the boundaries between heaven and man, and become a first-class master in one fell swoop.”
"The boundary between heaven and man?" Xue Ling was very concerned about this title.
"This is the name of Penglai Pavilion. In Penglai Pavilion, the first-class people outside are called heavenly beings." Xue Chong explained.
Xue Ling was a little surprised at this: "In other words, when you came to Song County, you were already at the peak of the second level?"
And now looking at Xue Chong's status, for example, it is a bit reluctant to say that he is at the second level, or at the third level.
Although the third grade is already a strong man in the world, he can start a sect and teach disciples.
But now Xue Chong's decline is too fast.
"It's not at the peak, it's only the second level." Xue Chong said lightly, with a little bit of pride in his tone, but also unwillingness.
"In short, Tianbulao is a wonderful medicine recorded in Shen Nong's Pharmacopoeia. It can help people to clear their menstruation and activate their meridians. It has a miraculous effect on martial arts practitioners to break their bottlenecks and make further progress." Xue Chong looked at the two of them and said, "Of course. As I said before, the elixir of life is also known as one of the important ingredients in the elixir of life. Although no one has actually prepared the elixir of life, at least this legend exists."
"To put it simply, I heard the news that there is immortality in Baiyun Mountain of Song County, so I came here at starry night, intending to find this immortality, to break the boundaries between heaven and man, and become a first-class master."
"In this case, I can return to the pavilion and practice more subtle martial arts."
So only by becoming the first rank of Jianghu can you be qualified to return to Penglai Pavilion? This Penglai Pavilion is too big.
When Xue Ling was thinking this, she looked at Xue Chong: "But why are you in such a situation now?"
"Why?" Xue Chong smiled bitterly and looked at Xue Ling: "Of course, my skills are inferior to others, so I feel inferior."
