33. Chapter 33
Sikong Xingxing hesitated for a moment, but continued to stretch out his hand.
Now that he has no internal strength, it is obviously impossible to grab things from Canghua. But the Order of the Holy Fire was very important to him, something that another employer needed. Sikong Xingxing is very professional, never discloses the employer, and rarely fails in the task, and the failure is because he feels that the risk is too great, and the effort and gain cannot be proportional, so he gives up.
In other words, to date, there has never been a precedent for something to be picked up and lost.
Sikong Xingxing didn't want to break this precedent, he also wanted to beat Chu Liuxiang and others in the next few issues of Bai Xiaosheng's weapon spectrum, and compete for the title of the world's number one thief. Even if the vicissitudes of the world brought him a great psychological shadow, Sikong Xingxing also wanted to gamble. If Canghua didn't know the Holy Flame Order, he might not have a chance.
Canghua's hand grabbed the Holy Flame Order first, and he had seen this thing burning like a flame before, but when he grasped it in his hand, it looked faintly cold.
"Jinjiang, my five hundred points!" Canghua said. Although she had long realized that getting the Holy Flame Order did not mean becoming the leader of the Ming Sect, and that hint was just a trap, but in case the system was mentally retarded, she could pick up five hundred points for nothing. Anyway, it's just a one-sentence thing, and it doesn't affect anything.
"I told you, there is more than one Holy Flame Order, and you still want points? No way! "The system is resolute.
Canghua disagreed, and continued to ask: "How many are there?" โ
"Six." The system answered this very simply. After finishing speaking, he paused, and said: "If I hadn't reminded you, you would have been able to get the first one in the Year of the Monkey?" As he spoke, it suddenly came to his senses and said that this reminder should deduct 100 points from Canghua as a mouth-warming fee.
Canghua sneered and said, "Jinjiang, are you a golden voice?" One sentence is worth a hundred points? โ
Everything else is easy to say, I want to deduct her points, don't say much, Jinjiang is going to fight!
One person, one system is caught in a fierce tug-of-war.
Canghua insisted that you should deduct a maximum of one point, and the system slowly counted down from the first hundred points, and finally became ten points.
The system finally got impatient and said, "What's the difference between one point and no deduction?" โ
Canghua nodded in agreement and said, "Then don't deduct it." โ
System: "......"
In the end, the stubble won, and the system did not deduct her points.
Although tearing in the consciousness does not waste much time, the outside world has also passed a few moments.
Sikong Xingxing was suddenly stunned when he saw Canghua holding the Holy Flame Order, and said in his heart: "The little girl is squeamish, and the Holy Fire Order is so cold that she can't stand it." But this was also a good time for him to get things back, so he said, "Girl, this thing is not fun, give it back to me, and I'll exchange it for you for something else." โ
As he spoke, Sikong Xingxing took out a disguise from his arms. Mask. These disguise masters, they all carry a lot of things with them, the simple disguise is to directly change the mask, and the clever technique is to do the hands and feet directly on the face, it is clearly the same face, but even if acquaintances look at it, they will feel that the two are not similar at all.
The stars will be disguised. The mask was wiped on his face, and suddenly the young man with an ordinary face actually became a different look, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, quite handsome, and he looked like a righteous chivalrous man who had just entered the rivers and lakes. Nowadays, there are many people with faces, and it is hard to imagine that under this mask, there is a famous thief hidden in the rivers and lakes.
"How?" Sikong Xingxing smiled, "Shall I exchange this with you for that brand?" โ
Canghua is still arguing with the system, and naturally there is no reaction at this moment.
Seeing her stunned eyes, Sikong Xingxing thought she was really curious, so he handed over the mask and planned to drag the Holy Flame Order over.
Canghua came back to his senses at this time, held the mask with one hand, grabbed the Holy Flame Order with the other, and said, "I want it all!" "Grasp with both hands, and be hard with both hands.
Sikong picks stars: "......" can you not play cards according to common sense? That's insatiable, isn't it?
After being speechless, I saw Canghua looking at Yi Rong strangely. Playing with the mask, Sikong Xingxing thought that there should still be hope. Looking at Canghua's appearance, although her mouth is very poisonous, but she is not deeply involved in the world, as long as she is coaxed over, take back the Holy Flame Order, and sacrifice some gadgets, it is a big deal to find an employer to increase the price.
Sikong picked up the stars and began to "flicker" Canghua, reasoning with her, moving with affection, saying that this thing is not for fun, although it looks a little interesting, but it is not fun, he is willing to exchange it with her for fun.
Canghua thought of the "press card" issued by Bai Xiaosheng's organization on Sikong Jiexing, and looked at him.
Sikong Xingxing began to take things out of his arms.
People in the martial arts walk the rivers and lakes, the more advanced they are, the less they seem to carry things, empty-handed, with a weapon, and the rest are all in their arms, and they have never wrapped such things. Before Sikong Xingxing did not lose his internal strength, he was also such a person, and everything was in his arms.
His arms looked flat, not even his chest, but in fact, he was very capable of pretending, anyway, except for the Holy Flame Order, there was nothing very important for Sikong to pick up the stars, and the important ones were not brought out of the lair. He regretted it very much at this time, why he was lazy at that time, and did not press this thing to the bottom, but directly stuffed it on the outside.
This act of digging things wasted a lot of time.
At this time, it was time for a fire outside. However, due to the scarcity of people in Zhuangzi at this time, and they are not ordinary people, even if something happens, there is no reason for the noise. Canghua was in the house at this time, and her moray eel focus was not smart enough to predict the fire, so she didn't know.
At this time, Canghua was full of all kinds of gadgets in front of him. Some she recognized, such as pickpocket tools and some auxiliary gadgets, etc., and some did not. There are all sorts of other signs, tokens, etc., and there is even a letter in it, which is simply a small treasure chest.
Sikong picked up the stars and said generously: "Just choose one to change that brand with you, as for the mask, I will give it to you, it should be a meeting gift." โ
At this time, it is necessary to go out of the system, Canghua asked: "Jinjiang, what does the token of Bai Xiaosheng's organization look like?" โ
"One hundred points." The system lion has a wide opening. I was blocked by Canghua just now, and now it's time to get it back.
Canghua immediately replied: "Then I might as well take everything away, there's always one thing, right?" โ
The system was speechless, it thought about it, took the initiative to reduce the price, and said, "Fifty points." โ
Canghua bargained, and finally spent ten points to let the system take action, and her debt went from two thousand five to two thousand five hundred and one.
Under the guidance of the system, he set aside other gadgets that he didn't know to be useful for, and selected a key-shaped thing.
Sikong Xingxing's expression froze for a moment, and then said, "Good vision, give it to me." He stretched out his hand and asked for the Holy Fire Order.
This key is the "press card" organized by Bai Xiaosheng, and it is also a very popular thing in the rivers and lakes, because only the token is recognized, and the person is not recognized, as long as there is enough money and the token, you can buy any information within the authority, so the price of this token has reached a sky-high price. And the token of Sikong Picking Stars is still specially made, a little higher than the ordinary authority.
But compared to losing the Holy Fire Order, he can't explain to his employer, and it doesn't matter if he sacrifices this thing, at least this token, there is still a way to get another copy out after Sikong picks the star, at least he knows that many people have it, and he is still in a no-man's land when he enters and exits these places, not every place has such a murderous person as Canghua.
But Sikong Xingxing is destined to be disappointed.
Canghua played with the key in one hand and the Holy Flame Order with the other. The mask was put in his pocket and he said, "Since you know each other so well, you can go."
The system said nervously: "Host, he hasn't personally admitted defeat yet, and he can't settle the points." โ
"I know," Canghua replied, "he won't leave." โ
Picking Stars: "......"
What about the good one-for-one? It's dark and easy to look at. Even if the mask is forgotten, the Bai Xiaosheng token has been hacked, and the most important holy fire order has not been returned?
There seems to be a raging anger behind Sikong picking stars, Canghua has gone too far, no! Can! Original! Forgive!
Canghua looked at him and said, "Qi": "Why don't you leave yet?" After a pause, she continued: "Oh, I remember, you haven't told me that your skills are inferior, did you stay to apologize?" You're such a trustworthy person, in fact, I don't think you need to do it, after all, you are much better than their "bad guys". โ
"But," Canghua changed his words and said, "Since you want to say so, then say it and leave, I can fulfill you." โ
Sikong picked up the stars in person and got the good guy card X1, lost the Holy Flame Order X1, and Bai Xiaosheng's press card X1, this is really an expensive good guy card.
Hearing Canghua say this, his anger disappeared instantly, this is the case on the rivers and lakes, his skills are not as good as others, even if he suffers a lot of losses, he has to endure it. It's just that with the kung fu of picking stars, no one can make him suffer in front of him before, and he can't say a word while holding back, Canghua is the first.
Sikong Jiexing was very unconvinced, and secretly said that he must get the field back in the future, but on the surface, he could only endure it, learn from the appearance of the previous few people, admit it to Canghua, and then turn around and leave. However, the task of stealing a manuscript of the Poison Hand Medicine King has not yet been completed, and Sikong Xingxing is hesitating whether to act against the threat of such a murderous Lori as Canghua.
Canghua looked at his task, and the task of defeating Sikong and picking up stars also completed sixty bonus points, forty points less than Chu Liuxiang, ten points more than Wang Lianhua, which is the second most person, plus one hundred points for becoming a special writer for Bai Xiaosheng's organization, and another one hundred and sixty points into the account.
However, Canghua found that her points had only increased by sixty points at this time, and hurriedly asked the reason.
"Enter the Bai Xiaosheng organization with a certificate, and the points can only be settled after being recognized." The system says.
However, it was better to settle it early and later, Canghua felt that it was okay to settle like this, and there was no force.
After finishing this, Canghua looked at the collapsed beams and thought, "I'll find someone to help Sister Cheng fix it later." โ
So she was about to go out to find someone, but as soon as she stepped out of the door, she also saw the smoke billowing from the dining room.
Canghua saw the smoke, and the next second he turned around and ran towards the medicine garden, it was useless to go to the fire, and he had to need water to solve the problem.
Zhu Qiqi shrank in the corner, and his mood could only be like an ellipsis.
โโฆโฆโ
Although she also has a share on her, but now that the Year of the Monkey has passed, and she knows what time it will take to live and die, at this time, Canghua obviously can't take care of her.
With a great flick of the effort, it was only a dozen breaths, and when Canghua landed again, it had already reached its destination.
Canghua took the bucket and flicked some water, and then looked back at the fire from afar. The smoke was so thick that it seemed that the fire had not been suppressed.
These two buckets of water are enough to boil medicine for cooking, but if you want to extinguish the fire, it is a drop in the bucket.
Canghua thought about it and ran to the courtyard next door.
There was a large wooden barrel there, which was originally used for bathing, before Cheng Lingsu accidentally fell into Shi Wan's medicine, and the method provided to her by Canghua was to soak in cold water. I was going to stay in the tub, but the medicine was really powerful, so I ended up going straight to the well.
Canghua filled a large bucket of water, carried it on top of his head, and landed in front of the fire in an extremely coquettish posture.
Now that the fire is already very big, Fu Hongxue went to fetch water, and Cheng Lingsu watched here, quite anxious. Although I had thought about the possibility of a fire, there was a large vat outside the door of the dining room. This kind of vat, called the Taiping Tank, was originally used to extinguish fires, and it happened to rain heavily last night, and this vaat was full of rainwater.
But because no one was taking care of the fire, it burned too much, and the house was a wooden structure, so the fire could not be stopped. A tank of water was sprinkled, but it was only barely enough that the fire did not burn into the other yards. At that time, when it was built, it was considered that the dining room was inconvenient because of the fumes, so it was far away.
At this time, Cheng Lingsu suddenly saw Canghua, and the bath bucket that Canghua raised his hands above his head.
It is more difficult to throw a big guy on his head, and some water has been sprinkled on the Canghua Road, but there are about two-thirds of the water left in the bucket, and it can fill most of the tank.
This rather lethal shape made Cheng Lingsu stunned.
But Canghua was not stunned at this time, she said: "Sister Cheng, come and put out the fire." โ
Cheng Lingsu reacted at this time, and the two jointly poured the water in the bath bucket into the Taiping tank.
Canghua gave Cheng Lingsu an explanation, asked her to extinguish the fire first, and then ran over again.
By the time Fu Hongxue came over with two buckets of water, Canghua had already run two times and was on the third round. But as it happens, they didn't run into each other.
Cheng Lingsu said hello to Fu Hongxue and asked him not to fetch water, now there is no shortage of water, but there is a shortage of people.
It took more than half an hour to put the fire down.
Sikong Xingxing had already left, but when he saw the fire in the Medicine King Village, his mind moved. Not only did he not complete the task this time, but he lost the things of another employer, which can really be said to have lost his wife and soldiers. If he left like this, to be honest, he would definitely be unwilling.
After a period of time, Jiang Zhuyuetian's effect receded, although the injury had not healed, and now he could also use light skills, Sikong Xingxing decided to take a gamble. Take advantage of the time of the fire to sneak around and find the task items that the employer wants, otherwise you will really lose all your money.
At this time, several people in the village were busy fighting the fire, and even Canghua didn't have time to see the focus of the moray eel, and the star-picking action was unexpectedly smooth. In addition to the guest rooms and pharmacies and other very recognizable places in Yaowangzhuang, there are only two rooms left, one is Cheng Lingsu's room, and the other is the study. The King of Poison Hand Medicine had a lot of medical books in his possession, and after his death, they were all sealed in the zร i study.
What Sikong Xingxing is looking for is not an ordinary manuscript, the poisonous hand medicine king has treated countless patients in the later period, and the pen and ink left behind are not too much, but there are also a lot, if you just want to find his handwriting, it can't be easier. It's a pity that his employer paid a high price, and of course there are requirements for what he is looking for.
It is rumored that a few years ago, when the Poison Hand Medicine King was still alive, he once received a peculiar medical seeker. Except for the Hand Poison King himself, no one knows whether this person is old or young, male or female. "He" came in the middle of the night, hoping that the Poison Hand Medicine King would go and heal someone with him.
The Poison Hand Medicine King only came back after half a month, and then he was tight-lipped about it, so no one except himself knew what had happened during this period. However, some news was still revealed, that is, the other party's reward for the poison hand medicine king, which is a mysterious manuscript.
In the next few years, the poison hand medicine king never issued the medicine king again, although he also received medical seekers, but he no longer supported โกโก, and often studied this manuscript alone in the house. It is said that this is a treasure or a treasure map of martial arts cheats. Later, it didn't take long for the Poison Hand Medicine King to pass away. And before he died, the picture suddenly disappeared.
Some of these things are records of intelligence in Bai Xiaosheng's organization, but those who are engaged in intelligence work often like to exaggerate. Some of the information in it must be true, such as the poison hand medicine king did disappear for half a month, and he did not go out to the doctor after that. But some of it is definitely.
For example, whether the Poison Hand Medicine King went out to practice medicine and came back from practicing medicine got a manuscript, and whether this manuscript recorded on it was a martial arts secret book or treasure, who knows anyone else except himself? Even if Bai Xiaosheng's intelligence swore that this matter was written, only God knows the actual result.
However, there always seem to be some people in the rivers and lakes who are interested in this kind of news, and it is very simple, I have to spend a lot of money to hire Sikong Xingxing to find this manuscript that I don't know if it is stored in zร i. I also checked the news, saying that it is said that before the manuscript disappeared, the poison hand medicine king finally went to the study.
Sikong Xingxing got into the study and began to skillfully find things, as a thief with the title of "King of Stealers", he was very good at finding mechanisms, dark rooms, and so on. And the ordinary bookcases have traces of turning, indicating that Cheng Lingsu will watch from time to time, and the Poison Hand Medicine King should not put things in such a place.
He is not the first person to find this picture, Yaowangzhuang has been so quiet in recent years, because everyone has given up. There are too many unreliable news in the rivers and lakes, and if everyone has to pay too much effort for this, then many people will be busy to death. Therefore, there are always some guys who don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle.
Just when Sikong picked up the stars and worked hard, Canghua's side finally ended.
Back and forth, Canghua felt that her hands were tired and sore, and she threw a dispel to herself, but it seemed that overwork was not a negative state, she didn't have a debuff on her body, and the blood bar was full, it seems that this situation can only be slowly recovered by resting. Canghua decided to wait and go to bed.
Cheng Lingsu looked at this piece of ruin, shook his head, and could only go to a nearby village to find someone to rebuild one. It's just that the money to rebuild a room, thinking of this, she is worried for a while. It is said that a penny is difficult for a hero, although Cheng Lingsu is not a hero, but he also has to eat, he can't be a big owner, and he doesn't even have a dining room, right?
Canghua saw that she was very sad, so she comforted her, and brought up the news that she had "accidentally" broken the beam in the house before, and swore that she would definitely compensate for it, and if it was repaired, it would be exactly the same as the original, so that Cheng Lingsu should not be angry.
Cheng Lingsu was amused and said, "It's nothing." โ
After saying this, she thought of the "education" problem of Canghua again, one thing was not finished, and the second thing began to hit her heart again. After this incident, Cheng Lingsu's favorability value soared, and he reached the peak of the task requirements at once, and he was inseparable from life and death. Since he regards Canghua as his sister, Cheng Lingsu always feels that he can't let her "wave" like this.
This kind of character, sooner or later, you will suffer when you meet a master. Especially there are a lot of people with strange tempers on the rivers and lakes, and they may hit the iron plate at some point. But Canghua's kung fu is higher than her, she is young, and the journey is smooth, Cheng Lingsu doesn't know what to say, so Canghua is willing to listen.
Canghua saw that Cheng Lingsu was comforted by herself, but she was even more worried, and she was strange in her heart, so she asked again.
Cheng Lingsu saw that he couldn't do it perfunctory, so after thinking about it, he still mentioned the matter of money.
For a martial arts master like Canghua, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem, anyway, there are too many ways to make money. From street performers, to robbing the rich and helping the poor, to businessmen and darts, to killing people and setting fires, all kinds of methods can make money. It just so happened that Canghua hadn't spent the money that had robbed Xiao Yu'er before, so she immediately patted her chest and took a big bag.
Of course, the shot was a flat A without a chest.
Canghua felt sadness for a moment, she had an A before, and she blamed Jinjiang.
Of course, Cheng Lingsu wouldn't ask for Canghua's money, so she refused.
The two of them pushed for a while, and finally Canghua simply played helplessly and said, "Whether you want Sister Cheng or not, I will put the money here." โ
Cheng Lingsu shook his head, and had no choice but to say that the money was borrowed.
Canghua didn't care, shrugged his shoulders, and told Cheng Lingsu that she had put the money on the head of the bed in the bedroom, and it would be good to come to her to get it when she needed it.
She smiled and said to Canghua: "Sister Cang, it's hard work, thanks to you." โ
Canghua said that it was okay, and said that he wanted to rest.
Cheng Lingsu nodded, let Canghua go and rest, she will deal with the rest.
Now it's almost noon, breakfast is useless, but Canghua has been busy for a while, tired but very tired, just not hungry, just the dining room is also burning, there is no place to eat, Canghua returned to the house, although she slept enough for eight hours last night, she was still a little sleepy, so she fell asleep on the bed.
Although Sikong Picking Stars is making trouble, there is no task to send now, so the system is not shouting Canghua.
Canghua was woken up by a loud noise, and she rubbed her forehead and got up.
After a while, the internal force in sleep also operated on its own for a few weeks, and at this time, the hands were no longer sore.
At least you can get the piano.
As a long song, give her a piano, you can do without anything else, she can still confuse the world.
Canghua got up and went out, looked at the sky, the sun was high, but there was no warmth, but it made her feel a slight coolness.
and deep hunger.
I didn't eat anything for half a day a night, and when I fell asleep, I didn't feel that I was really hungry when I woke up.
looked at the moray eel focus, and now the three green names are in the dining room, namely Cuinong, Fu Hongxue and Cheng Lingsu. There are several other green names, all of which are poor ordinary people with thin blood, and it is estimated that Cheng Lingsu came to repair the house. I don't know how long she slept, but everyone had already come.
Of course, Sikong Xingxing has long been gone, and this time he was lucky not to be caught by Canghua.
There is also an abrupt green name, staying in the courtyard where Wang Lianhua was before, it is Zhu Qiqi. Before, Canghua was busy earning points and ignored her, but when Canghua came out after being busy, he saw the fire and was busy fighting the fire, but he still ignored her. Wang Lianhua left, and Cheng Lingsu didn't know that Zhu Qiqi was here, so poor Zhu Qiqi was thrown down twice by Canghua.
However, since Zhu Qiqi has no points to earn, it is not surprising that Canghua forgot about her.
Let's light another candle for Zhu Qiqi, anyway, there are more candles and it is just right to illuminate.
Canghua asked Jinjiang what time it was.
Jinjiang said it was not an alarm clock to tell the time and refused to answer.
Canghua was too lazy to talk nonsense with it, carrying a package containing silver, so he planned to go to Cheng Lingsu and invited someone to come, so he had to have silver to pay his wages.
Although it was not a good way to get to the dining room, Canghua still reluctantly took a detour and explained Zhu Qiqi's acupoint.
Zhu Qiqi was already tired and hungry, but he didn't faint when he held his breath. Seeing Wang Lianhua's bad luck before, she felt happy in her heart. And felt that he should be able to get rid of the clutches soon, and waited and waited, but he waited until Canghua woke up, and the people who were waiting were confused.
Although Canghua is not clean, Zhu Qiqi is also dirty to a certain extent, she asked Zhu Qiqi: "Do you know how to fetch water?" Go wash yourself. โ
Zhu Qiqi nodded stunned.
Then Canghua pointed out the way to Zhu Qiqi, there was a well in the backyard, and asked her to fetch water to wash herself.
Zhu Qiqi opened her mouth, after experiencing the previous events, she obviously felt a little more secure following Canghua, but before she could say anything, she was blocked by Canghua. After realizing that he was indeed dirty and couldn't see people, Zhu Qiqi's innate cleanliness temperament prevailed, and he felt that it was more important to take a bath.
Canghua is gone.
In this way, Zhu Qiqi actually had a good impression of Canghua again.
Canghua took a look and found that Zhu Qiqi's favorability was really easy to brush, especially because she had a preconceived idea that you were a good person, so you would add favorability to everything you did. She thinks that Wang Lianhua is a bad person, so no matter what Wang Lianhua does, she has ulterior motives. It's a pity that Zhu Qiqi's favorability will not be like Cheng Lingsu's, and he won't be able to reach seven hundred in the short term.
If you can't get points, Canghua won't bother to care.
When the canghua arrived, the people were demolishing the house.
The dining room was burned down to the skeleton, and it is better to tear it down and rebuild it than to repair it.
The sound Canghua heard before was the sound of toppling houses.
The remaining residues will be landfilled.
Cheng Lingsu was adding some requirements for the reconstruction of the dining room to the people who built it, when Canghua walked over and handed her the package.
Nodding at Canghua, Cheng Lingsu took the package.
At this moment, the person who was cleaning the dining room brought over a box, saying that it was found inside the burned stove, and asked Cheng Lingsu what to do with it.
