...
Shen Cong has already sold off all the funeral objects of the Qian family on the black market. This time he made a total of about one hundred thousand taels of silver. It can be seen that the Qian family really spent a lot of money this time.
Because they are not a family like the Wang family that cultivates fifth-grade experts, the family's wealth is only a few hundred thousand taels at most.
Over the past year or so, he has obtained a total of about 180,000 taels from the Qian family's ancestral graves.
Among them, 20,000 taels are regarded as the money I won from gambling, 60,000 taels are used as compound interest, and the remaining 100,000 taels can be regarded as the hard work of digging graves.
After all, he is also a second-grade strong man. With so many attacks, one hundred thousand taels is not too much.
Shen Cong is not a particularly narrow-minded person. Digging a dozen times is enough, and he will no longer cause trouble for the Qian family in the future.
I bought a few big meat buns, returned to the blacksmith shop, had a delicious breakfast, and listened to the blacksmiths show off the interesting things they heard from hearsay. The days had a unique flavor.
Since ancient times, those who want to achieve success in martial arts must either have a strong family and sufficient resources, or they must work hard and look for opportunities everywhere.
How many people can be like me?
There is no need to go anywhere, just stay in this small place, there is no pressure or danger, and the cultivation level is still rising.
This is just like the girl from Qingyunfang. As soon as she lies down on the bed, the money will flow by itself without any effort.
How beautiful?
"I heard that Qingzhou Prefecture is going to hold a martial arts competition to select talents for the imperial court. If you can achieve outstanding results in the martial arts competition, you may be able to join the Zhenwu Division, or directly join the army and become an official."
"This is a rare grand event in Daxia for decades."
"It's a pity that Qingzhou Mansion is too far away from us. We don't have the opportunity or the expense to go see it."
Shen Cong was somewhat interested after hearing this.
"In the martial arts conference held in the state capital, there should be many middle-level and third-level warriors, and even upper-level third-level warriors, right?"
However, he was only slightly interested.
Because even if someone with high strength appears, they must be referees on a high platform, and it is impossible to compete in martial arts. For low-level warriors fighting, for me, there is not much experience to learn, and I have to run so far, just in case What dangers are you encountering...
Why not go to Qingyunfang to see the big tea, buy a pot of tea with half a tael of silver, free refills, watch for two or three hours for free, and occasionally have some accompaniment, wouldn't it be nice?
After breakfast, Shen Cong was about to strike, when a familiar figure suddenly came outside the door.
"Hey, Mr. Zhong, why did you come here in person?"
The steward's eyes were sharp, and he immediately bent down and trotted forward, his chubby face full of flattery.
Zhong Linggu didn't even look at him, just responded calmly, then walked straight to Shen Cong, cupped his hands and said:
"Master Xiao Shen, I wonder if the senior who made copper coin darts has been here this year?"
Shen Cong wanted to refuse, not wanting Zhong Linggu to disturb his peaceful life, but before he could speak, Zhong Linggu spoke again.
I saw him saying sincerely:
"I really want to meet that senior. If Master Xiao Shen has any clues and can introduce me to him, I am willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver."
Shen Cong shook his head.
"This is not about money..."
"Fifty thousand taels! I'm offering fifty thousand taels. I just ask Master Shen. If you meet me, please help me pass on the message. Just tell me that I have some ancient books on martial arts. I want to communicate with my seniors. If I can't see you, it doesn't matter. .”
"Hi~! Fifty thousand taels!"
Everyone present couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Fifty thousand taels, it's hard for people like them to see even one thousand taels in their lifetime, but Shen Cong actually has fifty thousand taels now!
There is still no need to do anything, just send a message.
For a moment, everyone was jealous with envy.
Shen Cong's mind moved slightly.
It seems that Zhong Linggu really wants to find himself, and he is actually willing to pay fifty thousand taels just to find clues about himself.
Good guy, could it be that he still has some important ancient books that he found in the ancient tombs that have not yet been unlocked?
If this is really the case, you can consider changing your appearance and then going to see him. Anyway, he can't beat you. Let's see what it is that can make him spend so much money.
Maybe, I can also take the opportunity to learn something.
Thinking of this, he acted accordingly:
"Then let's talk about it first. If I don't meet that senior, Mr. Zhong can't embarrass me, a little blacksmith."
Zhong Linggu was overjoyed and immediately raised his hand again and said:
"Don't worry, little Master Shen, I will never do such dishonest things."
Shen Cong nodded.
"In that case, when I meet him, I will definitely tell him."
"Thank you."
Zhong Linggu handed Shen Cong fifty thousand taels of silver notes, then looked around and said:
"This silver is a gift from me to Master Shen. If anyone is jealous and wants to covet it, don't blame me for destroying his whole family."
After saying this sentence, everyone broke out in cold sweat and felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
The threat of a fifth-grade warrior definitely carries enough weight, and is far from something they dare to violate easily.
"Gudu."
Everyone swallowed their saliva and responded one after another:
"No, no, we have always respected Master Shen and we will never have any evil intentions."
"Yes, yes, please rest assured, Mr. Zhong."
After hearing this, Zhong Linggu nodded and left the place.
Zhong Linggu does have some motive. He knows very well that there is a third-level master in Yuncheng, so he keeps a low profile, is humble and polite, and will never do anything out of line easily to avoid provoking that master. Displeased.
Otherwise, with his status, it is impossible to give fifty thousand taels of silver notes to a young blacksmith like himself. Instead, he would just find a servant, threaten him, and then give him another ingot of silver.
Seeing as you are so knowledgeable, it doesn't hurt to meet you.
Shen Cong smiled slightly, put the banknote in his pocket, and continued to blacksmith.
He did not go to see Zhong Linggu that day, otherwise the old boy would have become suspicious.
Let him dry out for a few days, then change his face again, and then go to see him. Meet him first to see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd. We will talk about the rest later.
The blacksmiths were threatened by Zhong Linggu, so they naturally did not dare to speak nonsense to Shen Cong. Otherwise, they would have already clamored for Shen Cong to invite Shen Cong to Qingyunfang to help the new girls in Qingyunfang test the throwing weight.
This is okay, after all, it is really harmful for a gentleman like me to go to Qingyunfang with everyone every day.
And I went quietly alone, no one knew, I just didn’t go!
