Chapter 14: Provocation
Anyone walking on the road, suddenly stopped by someone, and then told you that there is a bloody disaster, I am afraid that your first reaction will definitely be unhappy, and when he continues to say that he can eliminate the bloody disaster for you, your unhappiness will definitely be taken seriously, and firmly believe that this is a very third-rate charlatan......
Mo Bai is this kind of psychology at this time, looking at the two Taoists in front of him, one old and one young, if he didn't take care of his reputation, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but give the two Taoists in front of him a good beating, but it was precisely because Mo Bai took care of his reputation and did not want to lose his identity, so these two Taoists were fortunate to avoid a beating, Mo Bai just scolded them, and then continued to walk towards Qingyunju, as if he didn't take the words of the little Taoist priest to heart, in his cognition, this is the trick of the charlatans of the master and apprentice team, The apprentice came out first to be alarmist, once he revealed a little curiosity, he was afraid that the old Taoist priest was about to go out, and these two people were unprofessional at first glance, and they were still empty-handed, except for the two cloth ties, they didn't even prepare a sail...... It's okay to deceive ordinary people with such clumsy charlatans, but if you want to deceive yourself, it's obviously selling water on the side of the Yellow River~ It's in vain.
However, he is not to blame. After all, a figure of his status is just a false name, and he can't get into the eyes of the real people in power, so naturally he can't get in touch with people with the status of being a national teacher. If Mu Qiuhuang is here, he can recognize the true identity of this old Taoist. This old Taoist is the Daoyan patriarch who is the national teacher of the dynasty and the contemporary head of Longhu Mountain, and that little Taoist priest is naturally his little Taoist child. On the same day, after Patriarch Daoyan escaped from Fengling City overnight with Xiao Daotong, they knew that they could not return to Longhu Mountain, so they began to hide their identities and began to wander aimlessly in the rivers and lakes.
……
Looking at Mo Bai's back, the little Taoist couldn't help but say aggrievedly: "Master, I see that his face is really black, I'm afraid there will be a disaster of blood and light?" Why just didn't he believe it? ”
Patriarch Daoyan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, 'good medicine is bitter, and loyal words are against the ear', everyone in the world likes to listen to sweet words and other words that praise themselves, and how many people really like to listen to the truth?" ”
"Oh," the little Taoist priest replied, and continued to mumble: "If you don't listen, you won't listen! And why does he call us liars? Didn't we lie to him? ”
"Maybe he's used to being deceived." Patriarch Daoyan continued to say with a smile: "There is also something I don't understand as a teacher. Although we are fleeing this time, but we have been a national teacher for so many years, and we still have savings, we are not short of money and silver, and I have never shorted you to eat and drink, but why are you keen to give people divination along the way? This time it was okay, I was not beaten. If I hadn't stopped me in time last time, you would have been beaten up and ......."
The little Taoist priest said with a serious face: "But, didn't you tell me, Master, that I should learn this art of divination with faces?" Besides, it is my duty to eliminate disasters and solve problems with others, and seeing that they have bad omens and being able to speak out to avoid disasters for them is also considered merit, isn't it? ”
"Alas......" Patriarch Daoyan sighed helplessly and said: "Even if what you say makes sense, you must also know that people in the world are ignorant, and they have their own ignorant truths, and it is not common to leak heavenly secrets after all, let alone they still don't believe you...... If people can't help themselves, no matter how much others say they do, it will be useless in the end. ”
When the little Taoist priest heard this, he showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, he continued to ask: "Master, he just said that he is the eighth ranked Shuzhong swordsman among the top ten masters in the world, is he very powerful?" Do you recognize him? ”
Hearing this, Patriarch Daoyan looked at the direction in which Mo Bai had left and sneered: "If it is really powerful, there will be no blood light disaster, and besides, I look at his face, not only is there a blood light disaster today, but there is more than one...... As for the ranking of the top ten masters in the world? That's actually a bluffing trick, except for some real skills of the Nine Emperors of the Sword, the rest are not enough, haven't you seen that since the Nine Emperors of the Sword, the rankings have been rotated so quickly? ”
"Oh." The little Taoist priest nodded, and suddenly asked, "Master, why don't you go and rank up?" You must know that the head of Wudang Mountain is on the list! If my Longhu Mountain is lonely and nameless, it will inevitably be despised by others, right? ”
Hearing this, Patriarch Daoyan smacked his lips and explained in a disdainful tone: "For the teacher, for the Great Youguo Teacher, and for the Longhu Mountain Sect, he is already famous all over the world, so why do you need to surrender your identity to eliminate the false name of Na Laoshizi?" As for the fact that Wudang is on the list of masters, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is not because the reputation of the Qingye Daoist is not as loud as that of the teacher, he did this to promote the name of Wudang......"
The little Taoist priest stuck out his tongue when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he asked carelessly, "Master, when can we go back to Longhu Mountain?" ”
Hearing this, Patriarch Daoyan touched the little Taoist's head and said lovingly: "When the sky changes, we can go back." ”
"Really?" The little Taoist priest said with a happy face, and then took out a turtle shell and a few copper coins from the cloth on his chest.
"What are you doing here?" Dao Yan Patriarch did not know why he said.
The little Taoist priest replied without raising his head: "I'll do the math, when will the weather change!" Speaking of which, it hasn't rained in a month......"
When Patriarch Daoyan heard this, he couldn't help but feel funny and angry, and said helplessly: "Stupid disciple, what the teacher said about changing the sky doesn't mean this."
"What does that mean?" The little Taoist priest looked at him blankly.
"Alas......" Dao Yan Patriarch sighed and murmured in his heart: "There is no successor to the dragon and tiger!" ”
Seeing that the little Taoist priest was still looking at him blankly, Dao Yan Patriarch had no choice but to divert the topic, and said, "Let's go, let's go and see his two bloody disasters!" ”
"Two?" When the little Taoist priest heard this, he couldn't help but start to recall Mo Bai's face just now, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about how his master saw that there were two scenes? When I looked at it again, I found that Mo Bai had long since disappeared...... I couldn't help but wonder, "By the way, Master, he is now gone, where should we find him?" ”
"Follow the teacher, and you will naturally find him." Patriarch Daoyan replied casually and stepped forward first.
——————
In Qingyun House, Mu Qiuhuang, who had eaten and drunk enough, was half-lying on the chair and chatting with Su Xiaoxiao in a bored and lonely manner.
"I still think it's a bit rude to do it directly when I see Mo Bai later, I have to say something before I do it, right?" Mu Qiuhuang picked up the tea and rinsed his mouth and said.
"What are you going to say later?" Su Xiaoxiao said with a puzzled face.
"What do you think of those lines in the play?" I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to fight this, leave it to buy money'. Mu Qiuhuang said with a serious face.
"Puff ......" Su Xiaoxiao just took a sip of tea, and before she could swallow it, she squirted out directly after hearing this.
"Is it that funny?" Mu Qiuhuang said innocently.
"Hmm!" Su Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly and said with a smile: "Childe, are you planning to laugh at me to death?" Besides, we are now in an inn, not on a mountain, there is no road or tree here, and there is only one inn, and it is not your ......."
"So, another one?" Mu Qiuhuang laughed and said, "Oh, let's ...... the common name."
"Hahaha...... Childe, don't talk about it. When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she couldn't help but lean back with laughter, held back her laughter, and said: "Childe, if you continue to say more, Xiaoxiao is about to be laughed to death, and I dare to guarantee that as soon as you say this, you don't have to do it, that Mo Bai has to be laughed to death by you......"
"Blame me?" Mu Qiuhuang said helplessly: "You said that Mo Baimo didn't receive the news and slipped away early?" Why, we've waited so long and still haven't seen him come back? ”
"Probably not." Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and explained: "I just went to the shopkeeper to ask where he was, and Mo Bai has already paid this month's house money until the end of the month. ”
"Oh." Mu Qiuhuang responded, then smiled slightly, and asked, "You said before that room he usually lives in?" ”
"Tianzi Room A is also the most expensive and best room in this inn."
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a strange smile on her face, and couldn't help but wonder: "Childe, what are you asking about this?" ”
"Haha...... I asked this, of course, to find trouble! You see! Let's see how I'll get him to do it with me first. Mu Qiuhuang has a picture of a wisdom pearl in his hand.
……
"Yo! Guest, are you back? What are you going to eat tonight? Just when Mu Qiuhuang and Su Xiaoxiao were chatting, Xiao Er's voice suddenly came from the door.
"Childe, he is the swordsman in Shu~ Mo Bai." Su Xiaoxiao pointed to the door of the inn and said to Mu Qiuhuang.
"The old three, wait for me to finish bathing, and then send it to my room." Mo Bai commanded at Xiao Er.
"Xiao understands, I'll prepare bath water for you first......" Xiao Er nodded and said, for this kind of high-roller, the most expensive room is a high-roller for several months, and he naturally has to serve carefully.
"Little Er, come here." At this moment, Mu Qiuhuang suddenly screamed.
Hearing this, Mo Bai also glanced at Mu Qiuhuang's table, then showed a mocking smile, shook his head, and prepared to go upstairs. In his opinion, those who shout at Xiao Er like this are all those who are not of high quality and have never seen the world, and they are not worth looking at at at all.
"Guest, what do you command?" Xiao Er asked diligently, for the benefactor who had just rewarded him, Xiao Er was also courteous.
"We want to stay in the hotel and vacate the best and most expensive Tianzi Room A of your inn for me." Mu Qiuhuang said loudly deliberately, his eyes skimming to Mo Bai.
Sure enough, after Mo Bai heard this, he also stopped and looked over here.
"Yo! Guest, it's really unfortunate that Tianzi Room A has been booked early, why don't I take you to Tianzi Room B! Whether it is the size of the room or the decoration style, it is no different from the Tianzi room A......"
"Bastard, uncle, I have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I have always only lived in the Tianzi A room." Mu Qiuhuang pretended to be angry, and then continued: "No matter who gives you the Tianzi No. A room, I will give you double the price." ”
"Guest officer, just raise your noble hand and spare me! Our inn has a rule, everything pays attention to a first come, first come, if the guest is not willing to go, even if you give double the price, the villain does not dare to respond! ”
"Really?" Mu Qiuhuang took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, took one out of his hand to Xiao Er at random, and continued: "I don't embarrass you, you go to the guest of Tianzi Room A and say that I am willing to spend ten times the price to buy his room." In addition, you tell him that I am a salute before a soldier, if he obediently lets it out, it will be fine, if he dares to pop out of his mouth half a word, uncle, I will kill him alive when the time comes......"
"Guest officer, this ......" Xiao Er took the silver ticket and looked at Mo Bai tremblingly.
Seeing this, Mo Bai also walked down the stairs again. Went straight to Mu Qiuhuang's table, glanced at the two of them, and sneered: "I am the guest of Tianzi Room A, I heard what you just said, I will give you two ways now, first, disappear from me immediately, I will consider sparing your life." Second, I count from one to three, and if you are still indifferent, I will kill you with a sword...... But before I do it, I have to remind you that I am the eighth swordsman in Shuzhong among the top ten masters in the world~ Mo Bai. ”
"What is Mo Bai? I've never heard of it. Mu Qiuhuang tilted his head and said provocatively.
"Looks like you're ready to choose the second path." Mo Bai gritted his teeth and said, then pulled out the sword from his hand and shouted, "One, two." ”
When Mo Bai had just finished counting the word "three", his sword also came to Mu Qiuhuang.
Looking at the sword blade that was close at hand, Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly and said, "This is your first move." ”
