Chapter 174: Self-Aggrandizement. Old dogs.

Two hours later, several people finally crossed the barren mountain and arrived at Jiangyang Mansion before dark.

They first found a random inn in a small town outside the city and settled down.

Then, under Chen Wenbin's chatter, again and again, he left the inn and went to the only decent restaurant in the town.

In the lobby of the restaurant.

Chen Wenbin personally poured wine for a few people, and said with a smile: "A few people don't know, don't look at the small scale of this restaurant, but it has been buying all kinds of game here for a long time, so if you want to open meat, it is still very good here." ”

Shen Yu saw that the rest of the people were too lazy to take care of him, so he had to answer: "Chen Gongzi said that he was joking, we are not a wealthy aristocrat, just have a stutter, no matter how big or small his restaurant is." ”

Chen Wenbin said with a smile: "Brother Shen's words are good. This is not only the teacher under the inheritance, but also in the hometown of the next, in order to make a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, tonight's meal, no one should follow the robbery, I invited. ”

The corners of Shen Yu's mouth twitched, and he said unexpectedly: "Oh, thank you, then Brother Lao Chen will break the bank." ”

Chen Wenbin got up and called the shopkeeper, and said with a straight face: "What good game do you have here tonight, my son has all the covers." ”

Although the shopkeeper saw that several people were dressed very ordinary, the temperament of several people was more outstanding than the other, so he didn't dare to slack off, and said with a smile: "This son is good, there are only a few good 'river fish' left in the store tonight, do you think this line?"

Chen Wenbin frowned fiercely, and when the shopkeeper saw this, he hurriedly added without waiting for him to speak: "Master Gongzi, you can rest assured, these 'river fish' are all big and tender, and with the careful cooking of the chef of this store, the taste will definitely not be worse than other game." ”

When Chen Wenbin heard this, he nodded a little unhappily and said, "Okay, hurry up and arrange it." ”

After that, he sat down again, and said to Shen Yu and the others: "Don't be disappointed, although the taste of this 'river fish' is not as delicious as the 'ice fish', but after the careful cooking of the chefs here, it is far superior to other dishes." ”

Shen Yu said with a smile: "Brother Chen doesn't have to be like this, we are not picky people, just eat something." ”

Chen Wenbin smiled, peeked at Shangguan Ziyi, who was sitting beside Shen Yu with an expressionless face, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Shen, don't worry, a few of you, since you have arrived at the territory below, you will not treat a few people badly no matter what." ”

"This is just a country town, no matter eating, drinking and playing, it is very scarce, and when we enter Jiangyang City tomorrow, we must take a few people to enjoy it." ”

Yuan Yue really didn't want to listen to him continue to make noise about such trivial matters, so he had to change the topic and interject: "Since Chen Gongzi is the core disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and these juniors of the Poor Dao happen to be going to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to learn art, it is better to ask Chen Gongzi to give them a general introduction to basic common sense first." ”

Chen Wenbin's spirit was shocked, and he suddenly became interested, and while continuing to peek at his prey Shangguan Ziyi, he raised his voice and said: "It's a long story, let's just give a few popular science things a little common sense first." ”

"All the disciples of my Heavenly Master's Mansion add up, there are about more than 10,000 people, and in general they can be divided into three types: outer disciples, inner disciples, and core disciples. ”

When Shen Yu and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be secretly surprised, only Yuan Yue's face was as usual, it seemed that he had long been accustomed to the number of so many disciples, and he was used to it.

Chen Wenbin looked at Shangguan Ziyi's pretty face with a slight look of surprise, and couldn't help but say: "The so-called outer disciples, also known as ordinary disciples or registered disciples, are actually some people who do miscellaneous labor. ”

"Among them, there are men and women, both young ladies from rich and noble families, and pretentious people from poor and humble families, all because of their personal qualifications, they can only do some miscellaneous work in my Heavenly Master's Mansion, and take the opportunity to learn some of the most basic Taoist techniques and the most superficial martial arts. So they can leave at any time, and no one cares at all. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Shen Yu thoughtfully.

Maybe it was because he sensed Shangguan Ziyi's unusual gaze at Shen Yu, or maybe he felt a hint of potential threat in Shen Yu.

Therefore, he had already made a decision in his heart, no matter what, it was impossible for Shen Yu to worship under his Heavenly Master's Mansion.

I don't know which of his words aroused Xiaoxiao's interest, but seeing him pause, he hurriedly urged: "Chen Gongzi, do you go on?"

Chen Wenbin smiled slightly and continued: "As for the inner disciples, they are usually our so-called official disciples, and only when they become inner disciples can they be regarded as worshipping under my Heavenly Master's Mansion in the true sense. ”

"Only when you become an inner disciple will you have your own teacher, your own master and brothers. ”

Speaking of this, he paused again, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said with a faint smile: "As for the last core disciple, hehe......"

"That is the elite disciple who needs to be responsible for the 10,000-year inheritance of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, that is the descendant who carries the century-old plan of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and that is the person who is expected to become one of the seven great Heavenly Masters of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. The significance is so great and profound that it is impossible to describe it in words. ”

Genyue's face twitched.

I know you're right, but why does it sound so bad?

Shen Yu pretended to be surprised, and arched his hand: "In this way, Brother Chen really has a bright future, and his potential is limitless." ”

Chen Wenbin pretended to be reserved and shook his head, and said, "Brother Shen, don't misunderstand, I don't have any intention of boasting about myself, I just tell the truth." ”

Shen Yu picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "I know that I know, with Brother Chen's identity and strength, there is no need to brag about anything at all." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, before Chen Wenbin could climb up the pole, a few dog barks suddenly came from the direction of the door.

"Woohoo!"

The figure at the door flashed, and two peasant men, one tall and one short, walked in briskly from outside.

Among them, the shorter man at the front was carrying an iron cage the size of two ordinary bird cages, and in the cage was shrinking an old black dog covered in wounds.

The old dog's body shrunk together, as if it was terrified to the extreme, and there was still blood dripping on its paws, and the dog's face showed a very humane look of despair and sadness.

The short man said with a smile to the shopkeeper who came up, "Little brother, help me take a look, how much silver is this thing worth?"

The shopkeeper just glanced at the old dog in the cage casually, then shook his head again and again and said: "You can pull it down, just such an old and thin broken dog, cut it, cut it, chop it, I don't know if you can have two taels of meat, or you two hurry up and take it away, or leave it for a hundred yuan for our shop guys to fight their own tooth sacrifices." ”
