Chapter 169: Confrontation
"Qin Sang?"
A man suddenly shouted.
The two people around him followed his line of sight, and sure enough, they also saw a white young man.
The boy was standing in front of a shop, feeding a white parrot hanging in a birdcage.
"Qin Sang!"
The two of them also exclaimed, and walked over in three steps and two steps: "Sure enough, it's you!" β
Mulberry closed the birdcage and turned his head to glance at them lightly, not surprised.
"What?"
He asked coldly.
"What?"
The man who recognized him first immediately stepped forward again, pointed at his nose and shouted, "What's the matter? You're too embarrassed to ask what's the matter! β
His voice was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of many people on the street.
"You betrayal bastard! The master was so angry that he absconded from the mountain, and now he is happy in the capital! I also opened a shop with the skills taught to you by my master! Did your conscience let the dog eat! β
Betrayal of the master?
Absconding from the mountains?
There is no shortage of people in the capital who love to watch the excitement, and although the "cute pet pavilion" has not opened, it has already made a name for itself, so there are not many people who pay attention to this shop, and these words really attract many people to stop and stay, and want to see what the excitement of this shop that has become famous in a short period of time is there.
"Yes, Qin Sang! How can you be so ungrateful! β
The other two chimed in: "Master, his old man valued you the most during his lifetime and loved you very much, but you did such a heart-wrenching thing after his death!" If Master knows that there is a spirit in heaven, I am afraid that it will be difficult to look away! β
They looked indignant. It seems that he wants to devour the life in front of him alive.
Sang Zi looked at them expressionlessly, neither refuting nor explaining, until they finished speaking, and then spoke: "The craftsmanship of Qilan Mountain is originally used to benefit the people, and there is never a rule that you can't use what you have learned on the mountain to settle down outside. I used the craftsmanship I learned in Qilan Mountain to make a living, and I did not violate the rules of the master and did not turn my back on the master, so how could I betray the master and abscond out of the mountain? β
"Qilan Mountain?"
It stands to reason that Qilan Mountain has faded out of people's sight in recent decades, and it is not as eye-catching as it used to be, so it should be little known.
But someone in the onlookers immediately reacted and asked loudly: "Is it the Qilan Mountain that made the Wind Breaking Crossbow back then and was once famous?" β
Wind Breaker?
What is this again?
The crowd rang out with a burst of puzzled inquiries. And then after a while, there was "going south and north." The person who is well-informed and knowledgeable will briefly but concisely tell the old news of how the founder of Qilan Mountain worked hard for the country and the people to develop the wind-breaking crossbow, and how he used the wind-breaking crossbow to eliminate the fierce beast and keep one side safe.
"I see......"
"That founding ancestor is really upright and generous!"
"Yes, yes, if you have such skills but don't make a profit from it, you are really indifferent to fame and fortune!"
"And who is this person named Qin Sang?"
The topic naturally returned to Mulberry. Everyone's eyes were full of inquiry. There are more or less doubts.
"Didn't betray the master?"
The man with a very high voice said, "Master has been obsessed with studying the method of cracking the Wind Breaking Crossbow all his life. I tried my best to sleep and forget to eat, and finally studied it, but my body bones also had problems because of perennial fatigue. β
"After he cracked the method of making the wind-breaking crossbow, he couldn't hold it anymore. Seeing that he was going to drive the crane west, but as a descendant disciple, the senior brother was not by his side at that time, and he could not pass on the method of making zuΓ² to him. β
"Master can't, but he is worried that the method of making the Wind Breaking Crossbow will be lost again, so I have to inform you of that method, so that you can tell it to Senior Brother on your behalf in the future."
"Who knew that after you mastered the method of cracking, you actually wanted to leave Qilan Mountain, and immediately fainted the master to death! After Master's death, not only did you not have the heart to repent, but you also had to leave Qilan Mountain overnight to set up your own door! Isn't this called betrayal? β
He repeated accusations and questions, his words were fierce, his expression was indignant, and his deep and loud voice spread these words far and wide, and he wished that people from miles away could hear them.
Mulberry never interrupted as he spoke, and only said at the end: "I researched the method of cracking the Wind Breaking Crossbow, and my master saw how I dismantled the Wind Breaking Crossbow and restored it. As for what you said about the master cracking it and then passing it on to me, that's nothing at all. β
"Phew!"
The man immediately snorted and said, "You stinky hairy boy dare to say that you have cracked the Wind Breaking Crossbow?" You're so embarrassed to say it! Obviously, it was the master who spent his whole life trying to crack the method of its development, and then told you about this method! You're taking all the credit for it now! β
"Qin Yu," Sang Zi called in a deep voice: "When the method of cracking the development of the Wind Breaking Crossbow was solved, only me and the master were present, and the rest of the people were not allowed to enter the warehouse to watch, so how do you know that the master cracked it, not me?" β
Ha?
The person who was called Qin Yu almost laughed out loud, and said in his heart that although Qin Sang's skills were excellent, his brain was not very good, and he admitted that he was the only one present at that time without waiting for him to say it.
"What? Do you think that at that time, only you and Master could reverse black and white right and wrong like this? Master's enthusiasm for the Wind Breaking Crossbow in this life is obvious to all, and we all know what level you are! You're a yellow-haired boy who doesn't have a weak crown, and you've only touched the Wind Breaking Crossbow a few times in total, so you dare to say that your skills are even better than Master's? Dare you say that you cracked the Wind Breaking Crossbow? Joke! β
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that the Wind Breaking Crossbow was indeed cracked by Master, not me?"
Mulberry asked again.
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that you cracked the Wind Breaking Crossbow, not Master?"
Qin Yu asked rhetorically, and finally added with a sneer: "Is it because you and Master were the only ones present at that time?" β
Since there are only the two of you present, can you take the credit of Master?
Because there are only the two of you present, can you take everything for yourself regardless of the feelings of master and apprentice and regardless of ethics?
Although Qin Yu didn't say these words, they had already made everyone present have such thoughts in their hearts.
After all, between a young man who is not as weak as a crown and a master who is much older, no matter how you look at it, the latter is more likely to crack it, and it is more credible.
With such thoughts, it is inevitable that some people will point fingers at the mulberry.
Sangzi was not annoyed, and continued: "According to the rules of Qilan Mountain, whoever has mastered the method of cracking the wind-breaking crossbow is the master. The method of cracking is obviously in my hands, but the master passed on the position of master to the senior brother before his death, isn't this a violation of the ancestors' teachings? How could Master do such a foolish thing, and how could what you just said be true? β
Ha...... Idiot! Idiot!
Qin Yu scolded again in his heart, only feeling that he was in a very happy mood, but his face still showed an angry and angry look.
"If it weren't for Senior Brother being away at the time, how could Master have taught you the method of cracking the Wind Breaking Crossbow! He obviously asked you to wait for the senior brother to come back and transfer the method of cracking to the senior brother, but who would have thought that you would be so ungrateful! Not only did he not want to sue Senior Brother SΓΉ, but he even wanted to snatch the position of Senior Brother's master! β
"The master took a strong breath to pass on the position of master to the senior brother, avoiding the orthodox inheritance of Qilan Mountain from being disrupted by you, but you were unwilling to let the senior brother give way on the grounds that the senior brother did not know the method of breaking the wind crossbow!"
"Senior Brother didn't want the things that Master had researched with all his life's strength to disappear in vain, so he had to endure the humiliation and promise that as long as you kept the master's spirit for three years, he would give way to you. Because this move is against Master's original intention after all, asking you to keep a wake for Master is also to calm Master's anger and let his old man feel at ease under Jiuquan. β
"Who knew that you wolf-hearted thing promised very well in your mouth, but in your heart you didn't want to guard the spirit of the master at all, so you turned your face and secretly escaped from Qilan Mountain when everyone relaxed their guard, not only taking away the method of breaking the wind crossbow, but also stealing a lot of gold and silver! Now you are still using these gold and silver finesse and the skills that Master taught you to open a shop here! Such acts are worse than beasts! β
"yes, yes, that's ingratitude."
"I didn't expect this person to be white and pure inside, but he was a black-hearted person, and he could do such a thing!"
"Using stolen craftsmanship and money to make money, and not having to give anything out of your own, is really a business without capital! He could have imagined it! β
Everyone whispered, and almost all the spearheads were pointed at Mulberry.
Qin Yu was secretly proud, so that he could not only tie the mulberry back to Qilan Mountain, but also snatch this shop! That's a lot of good things!
When the time comes, the elder brother ...... No, no, no, Master will definitely praise him! Then he will be able to learn more things that only the disciples of Qilan Mountain can learn.
Sangzi always had an indifferent expression, and never interrupted him when he spoke, waiting for him to finish before speaking.
"Qin Yu, but have you forgotten? Qilan Mountain Gate Rules, the method of breaking the wind crossbow cannot be passed down from generation to generation, and can only rely on the current master or disciple to study separately, whether it can be cracked depends on personal ability. β
"Even if Master really researched the method of cracking it, he can't pass it on to anyone, whether it's the senior brother you call it, or me."
"In that case, what did you just say, what did Master pass on to me first and then let me pass on to Senior Brother, what is it? Don't you think it makes sense? β
Qin Yu was stunned, but immediately reacted again, and retorted: "Master, his old man also sees that the Great Zhou Kingdom has always been eyeing my Sheng'an, and he may start a war at any time, in order to avoid my Sheng'an's life, so he had to go against the ancestors' instructions to pass on the method of breaking the wind crossbow." β
"His old man originally had a good heart for the country and the people, but he didn't want this kindness to be used by you and turned into selfish desires! Qin Sang! Where is your conscience? (To be continued......)
