Chapter III. The sword asked Beiyan 36
According to Qi Yan and Zhou Changan's statements, then there are nine of them in a set of 'three-inch town dragon nails'; if you add this one in Guan Beidou's hand today, Shen Gui has already seen two of the nine with his own eyes! To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the value of several 'actors' was too high, Shen Gui would definitely think that this was a 'fire game' (big scene scam) made by them together!
After all, according to the 'market price', this coffin nail is worth five million taels of silver! Who has seen the good things that used to run through the streets with ten million taels of silver?
But Shen Gui not only saw it with his own eyes, but was also dizzy by the 10 million taels of silver that he jumped into his arms!
Shen Gui...... Calm down! Be sure to calm down! If this old liar dares to sell this thing to himself, it doesn't matter how much he asks, go up and give them a taste of the big ear shaves first! This must be a good game, and after I spent a lot of real money to buy it back, the four princes will come to the 'wall to draw ladders', and their Northern Yan Dynasty's financial deficit will hit me to make up for it......
In fact, it's no wonder that Shen Guihui is so cautious! Because the prince Yan Day, who was 'in the hands of victory', had all the food, drink, prostitution and gambling in his hands, and added a usury seal money, he only lost more than 4 million taels of silver when he was full;
“…… National Teacher ...... ...... you mean? ”
"Poor Dao wants to use this Zhenlong nail as a labor, please Shen Protector, you will personally go to Chang'an City......"
“…… Five million taels of silver for labor? Let's be honest, what part of my body are you planning to have? ”
As soon as he heard Shen Gui's words, Guan Beidou, who was still like gold paper and was about to walk in rotten wood, waved his right hand and slapped the bed board at this time, and sat up straight:
"Five million taels? When did the price fall? ”
"What? …… Fell? …… I said, National Teacher, why is this unlucky thing valuable, who is it pulled out of the coffin board, and what is the use of getting this thing, the younger generation really doesn't know anything! As for the price of five hundred taels of silver, it was also opened by the fourth prince himself yesterday...... Shen didn't know the price and didn't agree to sell him...... Don't don't, don't be so excited...... Hey! I said that little Taoist, your master has already 'returned to the light', and you are still standing there as if nothing happened? Waiting for the thunderbolt to strike? Can you have a snack? ”
Guan Beidou, who was 'sitting up in shock in his dying illness', really frightened Shen Gui; this dead man's deception of corpses is nothing new; but it is the first time that Shen Gui has seen it with his own eyes to the extent that he has 'returned to the light'...
"Oh? Don't know anything? Didn't Wang Yutian mention it to you when he handed over this Zhenlong nail to you? ”
"You're talking about the head of the pawnshop in the east of the city? Nope! He sold it to me for five hundred taels of silver; Then he was killed by some Jianghu people! ”
Hearing this, Guan Beidou, who was still angry, was suddenly stunned, and then he immediately stretched out his right hand and pinched it up and down, left and right; Then he looked up at the sky outside the window, was silent for a long time, and then sighed......
"Hey...... I didn't expect Lao Wang's longevity to be really over... That's it, he has lived to this age, and his family is full of children and grandchildren, so there is nothing to regret...... By the way, who killed him? ”
"Well, it's really hard to say which way it is! I caught seven or eight live mouths, and handed them over to the people of the four princes for interrogation; According to Ma Ziliu, those people seem to be all unpopular guys, and there are all kinds of sects, but none of them have the true inheritance......"
"Impossible! If that's the case, then it's certainly not what they did! Although Wang Yutian is not a top master, he has also practiced 'poke foot boxing' all his life, and his decades of skills will not be fake; But if you don't encounter any top masters to stop you, it's absolutely impossible to even have a chance to 'escape'! ”
The north leg of the south fist and the north leg is said to be 'poking the foot and flipping the fist'! In fact, fundamentally speaking, this flip fist is the same as poking feet, which were originally two independent sects; But later, for some reason, the two merged into one, which also achieved today's 'poke fist'.
This kind of foreign road goods martial arts is a typical 'easy to learn and difficult to master'! For example, the Taihua Sword of Xiyue Taihua, the Thirty-six Palms of Yin and Yang of Xuanyue Dao Palace, and the Rolling Hand Knife in the Bagua Knife are all in the category of basic martial arts; Whether it is a martial arts hall or a booksteller, as long as you spend dozens of copper coins to buy a 'martial arts cheats', those who are illiterate can pose with pictures, and there is no question of 'difficult to learn' at all!
However, if you want to practice this kind of 'introductory martial arts' to perfection, it will be a very long and boring 'journey', but once you have learned something, you will be able to reach the realm of returning to simplicity, and you don't have to stick to the tactics of moves......
For example, the first seat of the Dharma Hall of Nanquan Zen Buddhism - Master Zongjing, he has been the first master of the Liberation Gate for many years; But no matter who he does with, he uses the introductory martial arts - Dharma Boxing, and the weapon is the Wei Tuo sword; No exceptions and no failures in decades.
However, this kind of realm of returning to simplicity also requires chance and understanding to match each other, and it is an epiphany that can be met but not sought; And it is not just hard work and perseverance that can be achieved in the end.
Based on Guan Beidou's knowledge, it seems that the old dynasty Fengwang Yutian, who does not look like a martial arts practitioner at all, is definitely not a 'stupid fist'! At least those 'square dance artists' will definitely not be able to hurt half of his hair......
"Although I have been with the shopkeeper for a short time, I have not yet been able to talk about friendship; But I've also drunk his tea and bought his things, so I won't let him die like this......
"So you don't know anything...... Shen Gui, although you and Lao Wang have been friends for a short time, they are not unrelated! When Yutian was young, he once drove a carriage for Li Xuanyu for eighteen years......"
"He's a Norman?"
"Ancestral home of Nankang Minjiang ......"
Frankly speaking, before Shen Guifang entered the house, he planned to solve the problem; But now, although a few puzzles have been solved, more puzzles have been replaced. Moreover, he was 'directly' dispatched from Yanjing City to Sanqin Chang'an City by this nail that he didn't know what to do. Although Guan Beidou kept saying that he would 'go to that point' and 'grab the Sanqin soil again' and come back, it would be fine to see that Shen Gui's experience of 'being abducted and abducted' for many years, this matter was definitely not as simple as he said.
But fortunately, Guan Beidou is not in a hurry, and he still has a lot of time to completely solve the armistice agreement between the two norths......
After Shen Gui, who was full of awkwardness, left Qin Tiansi, Guan Beidou's disciple Qiao Muqiu also immediately collapsed; The whole person sat down beside the master's bed as if he was angry, and muttered in a whisper:
"Master, I don't understand, why do you trust that Northern Barbarian so much? You have exhausted half of your life's energy, and it is easy to get a dragon nail; It's not been a year since Uncle Second Master delivered this thing to us, and you gave it away! If you really need someone to go to Chang'an City for you, you can tell me to go! Why don't you cheapen that kid! ”
"Apprentice, it is not him Shen Gui who is trusted by the teacher, but Li Xuanyu; I asked Shen to go to Chang'an City, not to find an excuse to send the town dragon nail, but that he really should go there...... Hey, every time the master teaches you astronomical arts, you sleep very sweetly; Now that he can't see through Hua Yu's luck, why do you blame the teacher for being eccentric? ”
Guan Beidou, who was dismantling his apprentice, changed his hoarse and rough awkward voice, but was very thick and calm; It sounds like this person is not only full of energy, but also has more than 20 years of longevity!
“…… Master, the apprentice has really worked hard; But when I saw the stars winking at the disciples, I forgot all the maps you taught me...... As soon as the brain is empty, the neck will be weak, and the eyelids will not be able to hold up...... Master, are you looking for the wrong person? I'm just an ordinary person who owns a tofu shop at home......"
Guan Beidou looked at the discouraged apprentice, and couldn't help but feel pity; He raised his right arm, touched the little apprentice's head, and said in a kind voice:
"The wealth in the warehouse is like a mountain, and the mystery of the way of heaven cannot be glimpsed; Parents are high and powerful, and they are mortal after all; For the heavens, all living beings, birds and fish, flowers and trees, flying insects and beasts are no different from a grain of river sand and a breeze...... Since it's all sand, what difference does it make if it's lying on the bank of the river or buried in the mud? As for you...... Don't be in a hurry, kids! You're just not enlightened yet! As a teacher, I have made countless mistakes in my life, but only here is you Qiao Muqiu, there is no omission! ”
Guan Beidou's words are really not just hypocritical words to comfort and encourage apprentices; It's a big truth through and through!
In the early years, when Guan Beidou passed by the 'Qiaojia Tofu Workshop', he suddenly felt hungry, so he walked into the Tofu Workshop, asked for a vegetarian cake, a bowl of old tofu, and when it came to the account, it was exactly thirty-six copper coins; but unfortunately he didn't even have half a copper plate on him at that time! So he showed his hands a little, and accepted Qiao Muqiu, an apprentice, and used a bundle of silver to offset his food account!
Not long after, when Qiao Muqiu's parents returned from a family visit, they accidentally fell under the cliff; Qiao Muqiu, who was not yet ten years old at the time, followed Guan Beidou back to Qintiansi in Yanjing City and became a little Taoist boy who 'eats imperial grain'!
Therefore, in fact, Guan Beidou, the apprentice, was completely brought back by him in order to 'settle the food account', so what else can be wrong?
As for Guan Beidou, who has been practicing the method of bigu for a long time, why he suddenly felt hungry that day, it is an unanswered question.
