In the inner hall of the courtyard, several middle-aged people were sitting there drinking tea and chatting, watching the fighting and fighting among the people outside as if they were watching the excitement.
"Brother Liu, how about the kung fu of the seven Ruan brothers? The seven brothers have been eating and practicing martial arts together since they were young. They are good at combined attacks. The seven of them can be used as a dozen people together."
"Hahaha... If the seven of them only get paid by three, I wouldn't mind. On the contrary, I'm more interested in those two young people." Another person said jokingly.
"You are young and have superb martial arts skills, which is indeed good. However, my background is still unclear. Would Brother Liu dare to use such a person?"
"It doesn't matter. You'll know after using it a few times."
While several people were talking, the final outcome was coming soon. They all thought that when the Ruan brothers attacked the man in blue, the Ruan brothers actually chose to give up, which was beyond their expectation.
However, Jiang Lin thinks they are very wise. The guy in blue is not simple. Although these seven people have good kung fu, they will never be able to win completely. Killing several brothers for a job is obviously not a good deal. .
There were only three Jiang Lin left in the yard, so the outcome was very obvious. A fat man came over, smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations to you three, I am the steward of the Hexuan Chamber of Commerce. My surname is Mao, and my last name is Mao." Good job, I'll take the three of you to meet someone first, follow me."
With that said, the man named Mao Guan led Jiang and Lin to the inner hall, greeted his servants, and served them fragrant tea and fruits.
After a while, a burly man walked over with a loud voice like a bell. Before anyone arrived, his laughter came first.
This man was about forty years old, with sideburns, a square face, and a square mouth and nose. Although he was dressed in brocade and silk, he exuded the aura of a beast.
Jiang Lin knew as soon as he saw this man that he was definitely a master and a master of internal martial arts. If he didn't have the skills, he might not be able to get any advantage from the other party.
After sitting down, the man said: "I am Liu Yuan, who serves as a steward in the Hexuan Chamber of Commerce. Unlike steward Mao, he is in charge and I am in charge. I haven't asked how to call the three of them."
Wang Lin stood up and said respectfully: "Little girl Jiang Yu, this is my brother Jiang Lin."
Jiang Lin smiled and nodded to him without saying much, but the name spoken by the man in blue sitting next to him made his heart move.
"Xu Shijie."
This name made Jiang Lin's heart move, but his face was expressionless.
Liu Yuan exchanged a few polite words and then got down to the topic: "This time our chamber of commerce has a batch of goods to escort. I believe some of you know that we need to pass through the Helian Mountains. Although we have walked this road countless times, we still have to go through it. We can’t guarantee that everything will be safe every time, are the three of you mentally prepared?”
The three people had their own thoughts and no objections. Then Liu Yuan introduced the reward this time. Of course, although the three people expressed joy on their faces, they actually had no feeling in their hearts. Especially Wang Lin, who was born in From a big family, this little money is not enough for her to reward her servants on a daily basis.
Then Liu Yuan briefly talked about the trip, and then waved, and the maid behind him took out three wooden tokens and handed them to the three of them.
"That batch of goods will probably have to wait for two or three days. All your expenses in the city in the past few days will be counted in the Chamber of Commerce. Just take the token of the Chamber of Commerce."
"That would be disrespectful." Wang Lin took the token from Jiang Lin and said politely.
After the agreement was made, Jiang and Lin returned directly to their residence. After returning, Wang Lin asked in confusion: "Do you know that person?"
Jiang Lin shook his head: "I don't know him, but he is very weird, so it's better to be careful."
"When you get to Bailingyuan, you may be able to try out the apprenticeship test at Bailingyuan. With your intelligence, I believe there is still hope."
Jiang Lin helplessly shook his head and smiled. He stood up and walked outside, saying to Wang Lin, "I want to go out for a walk."
"Young Master, please go ahead and relax." Wang Lin said with a meaningful smile.
Jiang Lin walked out of the door and went directly to the place where the man in blue entered last time, and he keenly discovered that there was a pair of eyes behind her watching her.
He smiled knowingly and strode in. At the corner of the street, Wang Lin leaned against the wall. When she saw Jiang Lin walking into the fireworks alley, she sneered and turned to leave.
Jiang Lin frowned as soon as he entered the room. The strong smell of powder almost made him stun. There were people coming and going inside, and it was smoky. Men and women hugged each other. Some were even half-clothed, making love there as if no one else was around.
At this time, a middle-aged woman in her thirties walked over with small steps. She had put on a thick layer of makeup and powder, and the residue fell straight down when she walked. Seeing that Jiang Lin was so young, she said in a cooing voice: "Hey, whose young master is this? Come and say hello."
This voice called three or four young girls, who also kept rubbing themselves against Jiang Lin, which made Jiang Lin a little disgusted. He pulled out without leaving any trace, turned his hand, showed a golden bean, and threw it behind him. Say: "Arrange a cleaner place."
"Waiting upstairs, watch the tea!" The middle-aged woman grabbed it. After seeing the gold, she almost jumped up with joy. Because a girl died the day before yesterday and she was still in a bad mood, she suddenly became happy.
The upstairs was obviously much cleaner. Jiang Lin came to a room and asked everyone to leave. After making sure that no one was watching him, he felt relieved.
Naturally, I didn’t come here to have fun. After Jiang Lin sat down, he took out a black bead from his body. It was as big as an eye and was dark and dull. But if you get closer and smell it, you can smell the sweet fragrance of flowers. Intoxicated.
This was discovered by Jiang Lin when he killed the green-eyed zombie. The scene was chaotic at that time. Jiang Lin used the art of expelling objects to pocket it and never took it out.
Wang Lin had mentioned the characteristics and benefits of the Corpse Pill before, so with that said, this should be the Corpse Pill.
Jiang Lin came here for no other reason than to take corpse pills and improve his physical body. After all, if someone else discovers such a precious thing, it might even hurt you.
After weighing it, Jiang Lin swallowed the Corpse Pill in one gulp. If a monk saw it here at this time, he would definitely give Jiang Lin a thumbs up and admire him.
Corpse elixir contains a large amount of essence, which can indeed improve the physical body and achieve the effect of cleansing the marrow of the I Ching, but it is not used in this way.
Generally speaking, it is refined into medicine, taken in divided doses, or soaked in a special potion, soaked and absorbed, and taken directly, which is almost the same as seeking death.
Sure enough, after swallowing it, Jiang Lin's expression suddenly changed, as if he had been hit hard in the abdomen, causing him to kneel on the ground. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was distorted. It looked like he was in extreme pain.
Jiang Lin remained silent, feeling the tearing pain in his body, as if there were many things running around in his body. He coughed up blood and his vision blurred for a while. This was worse than the heart-gnawing pain at Shuangjiao Peak. Nothing less.
"Damn it...are you going to die here..." This is what Jiang Lin wanted to say in his heart.
However, at this time, Jiang Lin's heartbeat gradually began to speed up, and the things running around in his body seemed to find a way out, burrowing directly into Jiang Lin's heart, and then disappeared like a stone cow entering the sea, and the severe pain all over his body also disappeared.
Jiang Lin opened his clothes in surprise and felt his heart beating again and again, feeling a little weird in a daze.
Before Jiang Lin could figure it out, a warm current overflowed from his heart and reached all his limbs. Jiang Lin felt as if his whole body was wrapped in a warm current. It was so comfortable that he couldn't extricate himself from it. Then his vision blurred and he fell to the ground.
At this time, a little bit of fluorescence appeared in Jiang Lin's heart, and the outline of a heart was clearly visible. Every time it beat, a stream of essence was released, traveling to every meridian in Jiang Lin's body, and the cycle continued.
I don't know how long it took, but Jiang Lin felt someone pushing him, and a strange man's voice sounded in his ears.
"Master, wake up..."
Opening his eyes, Jiang Lin sat up suddenly. He was so frightened that the man in front of him trembled. Seeing that Jiang Lin was fine, he said happily: "Young master, you scared me to death. You made the floor covered with blood." , lying there motionless, I thought you were dead."
The man in front of him was a handyman in the store. Jiang Lin saw blood all over his body and on the ground. Thinking back to what happened after he took the Corpse Pill, Jiang Lin felt frightened.
"What time is it now?" Jiang Lin asked, remembering something.
"Sir, it's almost dawn today. I just want to come in and ask if you still need the girls to accompany you. Otherwise, the girls will have to go back to sleep."
Jiang Lin was a little surprised that it lasted all day and night. He then took out a small piece of gold and handed it to him, smiling and saying, "No, just clean this place and these will be yours."
"Mr... Young Master... this, this..." Seeing Jiang Lin's generous actions, the handyman was so trembling that he couldn't say a complete sentence. If he looked for Jiang Lin, there would be no one there.
Jiang Lin left here and quietly returned to his residence. Wang Lin should have fallen asleep by this time. He came in quietly. As soon as he closed the door, Wang Lin's voice came from the inner room.
"Sir, why are you back at this time? Did you sneak away without enough money?"
At this time, the lights in the inner room turned on. Wang Lin walked out with a candlestick. When she saw Jiang Lin's body stained with blood, she was startled.
Jiang Lin knew that she seemed to be thinking wrongly, and he smiled helplessly: "I taught a few short-sighted people a lesson."
"It doesn't matter, the young master will definitely not have a good rest after being out for a day and a night, so I won't bother you." Wang Lin sneered in her heart and turned around to go back to the house.
