Seeing the shock and anxiety on Bai Lang's face, Tang Yan smiled slightly. He thought to himself: After all, age matters here. Although there are city mansions, they are not many.
"Although the Night Blade is only a low-grade magic weapon, it is also a high-grade magic weapon. In the black market, the price is astronomical and the price is unmarketable. When this thing appeared back then, many assassins fought for it. In the end, it was killed by a man who claimed to be Bought by the assassin of "Crow". Since then, Crow has become famous in the casual cultivator circles of the country, and countless people have lost their lives at his hands.
No one knows whether the crow is male or female, tall or short, but this dagger is the crow's personal belongings and never leaves his hand. Now it has become your trophy. If this is known to the casual cultivator circle, your Bailang's reputation will also spread to all directions immediately. "
"Zu Dao, subordinate." Bai Lang felt that he should defend himself, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Tang Yan waving his hand.
"Bai Lang, do you know how I became the master swordsman in the swordsmanship hall?" Tang Yan interrupted Bai Lang and then started talking again, as if he didn't want to hear Bai Lang's explanation.
"I've heard some stories. I heard that you used to fight your way up from a street wanderer."
Tang Yan laughed and interrupted again: "I'm wrong, I can't believe what is said outside. I tell you, when I was your age, I never thought about entering a knife studio. At that time, I The idea is that one day he can march into the army and kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, or he can be favored by the Imperial Sect and be admitted to the outer sect. Even if he is running errands inside, it will be enough to honor his ancestors.
But who would have thought that with my little talent, let alone the Emperor's Yun Sect, I could only serve as a lieutenant in the army, and that also depended on my connections and background, so I couldn't get in based on my conditions.
So under the recommendation of my master, I joined the Feng family, one of the largest families in the world. As a disciple, I stayed in the capital for more than ten years.
Then Feng Mingyuan, a son of the Feng family, became an official and became the lord of Yongchuan City. I followed him down and fought hard to win one of the two sword halls.
The knife shop may look like a beautiful place, but in fact, there are many helplessness behind it.
Take this turmoil as an example. Do you know what the key is? "
Bai Lang quickly replied this time: "I heard that this danger is a secret competition between Yuzhong, the state capital, and the Lord's Palace of Yongchuan City."
"That's right. The dispute between the state capital and the city lord's palace eventually turned into a fight between the swordsmen. And in order to restrain each other, the Lin Yue swordsmanship is obviously the power of the city lord's palace, but it will only sit on the sidelines. Even the city lord's palace can only talk. They give requests and orders, but in fact they don’t give any support at all.
Do you have a chamber pot at home? If the chamber pot leaks, throw it away; if the chamber pot is dirty, wash it. The sword hall is equivalent to a chamber pot for the city lord's palace. We can't help it and it may kill us both inside and outside.
So what I have always cared about is my loyalty to the sword shop, but I don't care about my personal secrets. As long as it doesn't harm the knife shop, then everything is fine.
Therefore, it was not a big deal if you hid it in the first place. Like you, I understand that life is difficult for casual practitioners. The important thing is to have a stable place to practice. Especially those like you who have younger brothers and sisters, you don't dare to show up when you are weak.
Am I right? "
Tang Yan had a smile on his face when he talked about it, and he smiled very kindly. Anyway, Bai Lang has met Tang Yan so many times, and this is the first time he feels the word "kindness" from Tang Yan.
Does Tang Yan seem like a kind person? Bailang felt that this was not a question of resemblance at all, but an impossibility.
Just like a person sitting in a chamber pot cannot be smelly or dirty. If the swordsman in the sword shop was not ruthless, vicious or sinister, he would have been killed a long time ago.
kind? It's just made to fool fools.
But the situation was in a dilemma for Bailang.
Don’t admit that you are a Qi practitioner? This is obviously unrealistic. With the severed "crow" in front of him as proof, he couldn't say that he had killed the famous Qi Refiner assassin with the help of a mere sixth-grade warrior, right? Are you treating Tang Yan like a fool?
And it seems that there is no point in admitting it or not. Because Tang Yan had already come up with a conclusion for Bai Lang, and even the previous deaths of Li Jiang and Li Jiang directly overturned the previous conclusion and directly linked it to Bai Lang.
Bailang's difficulty lies in how to figure out his origins after his identity is exposed. Anyway, I can’t talk about the property panel, and no one would believe me if I did. Not to mention things related to the female ghost Lingyu. The same can't be said about things including Huang Yi.
How about getting off the donkey?
This seems to be the only way at the moment.
"When I return to Daozuo, as I said, I really have no choice but to do so. But my loyalty to Daozuo in the Daozuo Hall can be seen from the sun and the moon, and I will never be perfunctory!"
Bailang said as he knelt down on one knee holding the pestle stick in his hand. But he raised his head and his eyes were sincere.
Bai Lang really didn't lie about his loyalty to the sword academy and Tang Yan. The Knife Hall really helped him out of his most difficult period when he first traveled through time. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to build a tall building even if he relied on the attribute panel, because he didn't even have a single brick at that time. The knife studio gave him the first stepping stone.
Although Tang Yan didn't have much contact with him, he could be said to have high regard for him. Although there is Liu Xu's face in this, it only works if Tang Yan nods. Otherwise, do you really think that Liu Xu can easily help Bailang, who had no reputation at all, to the position of the town hall?
Furthermore, the sword academy is also closely related to Bailang's interests, and he has no reason to rebel.
"Haha, I believe you. I didn't call you here today to find out your details. I just want you to understand that you don't have to worry about any taboos in the knife studio from now on. If you need anything, you can just ask it. You are loyal to the knife. Guan, I, Tang Yan, will naturally not treat you badly.
In this world, if you don’t stick together, you won’t be able to stand firmly. "
With that said, Tang Yan stood up from the stone platform, walked to the desk opposite, opened the drawer and took out a palm-sized jade box, and then placed it in front of Bai Lang.
"Take this thing as a reward for your bravery in this killing."
Bailang heard this and immediately postponed it. But at Tang Yan's insistence, he opened the box and was speechless for a moment.
"Do you recognize this thing?"
"I know this is a low-grade spiritual stone."
"Very good. Now that you know it, you must know how to use it. Take it and practice well after you get down. From now on, I can breathe a sigh of relief when you are in the sword shop."
"Thank you very much, Bai Lang, for this gift!" Bai Lang did not delay, and accepted the low-grade spiritual stone while being pleasantly surprised and doubtful at the same time.
Then the white waves retreated. Guard Chen, who was guarded outside, once again asked someone to carry him back to the hospital.
"Zu Dao, Bai Zhentang has returned."
"What do you think of this Bailang? Cough, cough, cough." Tang Yan suddenly coughed violently as he spoke, and Guard Chen quickly brought him some tea. But it still took several times to subdue the itching in Tang Yan's chest and throat.
"Zu Dao, your injury is embarrassing at this time. Instead of leaving it to the hands of others, it would be better for the Dao Guan to borrow the power of Bai Zhentang. At least get closer."
Tang Yan sat cross-legged on the stone platform again and sighed: "Now I can only ignore it and try to appease him. But this kid has a lot of things hidden in him. The death of Li Jiang and the two people, including the clay figurine that was pursued in many ways before, is probably They all have something to do with him.
Moreover, he can recognize spirit stones at a glance. This knowledge, as well as his breath-containing method without revealing any flaws, are definitely not something ordinary casual cultivators can possess. Check it out secretly. But don't make it public, understand? "
"My subordinate understands."
