Chapter 7 Fayuan White Elephant Tower
On the second day after Bai Jian stayed, another person came to the door of You Qiu, a stranger, not You Qiu's relatives and friends, nor guests.
The person who came has a national character face, looks quite masculine but doesn't look energetic. Tall but slumped, looking sluggish.
Seeing that the man was wearing an old cloth robe that he had worn for an unknown period of time, he kept looking outside the store, and at first thought he was a beggar.
He was curious, there had been no beggar in Shakun City for a long time.
However, when I asked, I realized that the other party was looking for something to do.
"Since this brother is looking for a job, why don't you come in and talk in detail?" You Qiu said politely, but he was not optimistic about the other party in his heart, because he didn't even ask the other party's name.
Judging people by their appearance is probably the unwritten convention of the Three Realms.
"I don't really know what I'm doing...... the man replied, and a seven-foot man seemed rather unconfident when talking to someone.
"Will you settle accounts?" asked Yuqiu. His wife died early due to illness, and the store's accounts were all done by herself.
The business in the store is not very good, and one person can handle it.
But of course, he will also think about it from a distance, and when the business grows bigger, he needs to have someone to do the accounts, so he asks the person who came.
What boss doesn't want to be big? A boss who doesn't want to be big is not a good boss.
"No, it won't. The man shook his head, and replied simply.
"Shhh
"No, it won't. The answer is the same as the previous question.
You Qiu frowned, not surprised. He thought to himself that this person was so reserved when he was looking for a job, and if he really wanted to receive guests, he was afraid that he would suffocate others long ago.
"Tally will be the same?" he asked.
"It's too much trouble to tally, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember. The man replied.
"Ouch, I said!" You Qiu thought he had misheard at first, thinking that this person wouldn't be able to do that at first, and at this time he was still picky.
According to the previous situation, seeing such a person, You Qiu should have coaxed people away, but because he made a lot of money a few days ago, he was in a good mood at this time, and he also pressed it down.
"You always bring tea and water?" he asked again. But this question is not to really recruit that person into the store, but to see what kind of strange thing the other party is.
I didn't expect that person to be really not an ordinary strange thing.
I saw that he was still with his head down, and he didn't know whether he was talking to himself or what he was doing, and whispered:
"It's too embarrassing to serve tea and water......"
"Ouch, I'm ......" You Qiu heard it, and almost scolded, but finally couldn't help it, his face was flushed, he pointed to the outside of the store, and said, "The temple here is small, I'm afraid I can't keep your Bodhisattva, so let's find another way!"
This is said so clearly, normal people must have walked away with a sense of humor. But this man didn't, just stood there dumbfounded, and said in a voice like a mosquito:
"Elsewhere, they don't take my ......"
It's no wonder that I don't accept you, you have such a virtuous character, You Qiu is buried in his heart, but he looks at the other party pitifully in his eyes, and it seems too blunt to drive him away like this.
"But, I don't know what you can do, what you can do, how can I accept you!" he said in a more anxious tone.
At this moment, Bai Jian was walking out of the back room, still holding a wooden box in his hand, just doing tally work, and came out curiously to take a look.
Seeing the cold man, his eyes flickered, and he leaned over and whispered to You Qiu:
"Shopkeeper, this person can't let go, it's useful to keep it!"
"What, what?" You Qiu turned his head and looked at Bai Jian in disbelief.
He suspected that Bai Jian was teasing him, but the tone was not quite like it, and his heart turned several times.
said that this white sword made some money in the previous round of advice, but after all, it was only once, and it was only a matter of buying and selling. At the moment, it's a human problem.
Things are dead, but people are alive, and it is not so easy to manage.
Moreover, the biggest problem is that this uninvited person makes it clear that he will not do anything, and he does not want to do anything.
"It's not that he can't, it's not that he doesn't want to do anything, it's just that you didn't ask about your debut. Bai Jian pretended to say mysteriously to You Qiu.
"Yo, is that wrong for me?" You Qiu just turned his head, but at this moment he turned his body around, wanting to reason with Bai Jian.
"I don't know if he's the boss or if I'm the boss!" he said to Bai Jian, as if to remind the guy who had just started working for a day.
"Shopkeeper," Bai Jian's mood did not change in the slightest, and he still whispered to You Qiu, "There are some people you can kick as you like, but there are also others that you can't invite if you want to." ”
"What do you mean?" You Qiu said casually when he looked at Bai Jian's words, but he felt more and more weight and persuasiveness.
Bai Jian smiled and nodded.
You Qiu touched his head, turned around, looked at the man with a embarrassed expression, and then turned his face to Bai Jian and said:
"So, then I'll recruit him, and you'll see what to do?"
"You don't have to be so deliberate, Boss You, you will know his usefulness when the time comes. After Bai Jian finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the storeroom.
The person who came didn't bring anything but a bag, and sat in the small house of Bai Jian when he finished work, looking very reserved.
You Qiu saw that Bai Jian was so confident in his judgment, so he arranged the two of them into a room.
"What's your name?" asked the man as he washed up.
The man was silent.
"Is it surnamed Niu?" Bai Jian asked lightly, not stopping what he was doing.
The man had his head down, and he was bored there, but when he heard Bai Jian's question, he raised his head suddenly and looked at Bai Jian in dismay.
Bai Jian glanced at him and continued:
"Niu Mang, I don't just know what your name is, I also know that you can't be too public, right?"
After saying this, Niu Mang's whole body trembled, his eyes were waiting for a long time, his eyes were bloodshot and looked at Bai Jian, and finally spit out word by word:
"You, how, you know!?"
"I still know a lot, but there are also things I don't understand, such as why are you here?" Bai Jian asked Niu Mang with a smile.
As soon as he asked, Niu Mang was silent again, his body trembled even more, and tears even flowed from his eyes.
"What are you hating, what are you hating, who are you hating?" Bai Jian asked with a frown as he looked at Niu Mang.
"The surname is Huang!" Niu Mang had already gritted his teeth, "I don't share the sky with him!"
There are many kinds of hatred in the world, but there are only a few kinds of hatred that do not share the same hatred. Bai Jian was clear and didn't ask any more.
"There is no way to get revenge because you are not strong enough. He said to Niu Mang, his tone was flat, but for Niu Mang, it was a fine word.
Niu Mang looked at Bai Jian and didn't make a sound, just clenched his fists, his eyes red.
Looking at his posture, if it was Huang Xun sitting opposite, he would definitely immediately break his body into pieces.
"It's a pity that you know how to spell, but you don't have an official seal. Bai Jian said with a sigh.
Niu Mang Bai Jian said this, his eyes showed a suspicious look, he looked at Bai Jian, looked around the room again, and asked:
"Are you really a buddy at this store?"
At the same time, the word "man" is also emphasized.
Bai Jian pursed his lips, also looked around the room, spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said:
"It's just a place of this size, or else?"
The room was small, with only two beds and a cupboard, and at first glance it was just a servant's residence.
However, the aura and posture displayed by Bai Jian made Niu Mang suspect that this person was not just a guy.
Moreover, Niu Mang also remembered that You Qiu was also influenced by the white sword when he recruited himself. It's unimaginable that a person who lives in such a dilapidated place, a small fellow, can also influence the boss's manpower strategy.
"Hmph," Niu Mang didn't delve into the identity of the white sword, but just snorted and said, "The rules of Shakun City are that only those who can obtain the official seal of the spell can work, I don't have any money, I can't get it!"
"Oh?" Bai Jian raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Does this have anything to do with whether he has money or not?"
With a "bang", Niu Mang knocked on the bed board with his hand and said hatefully:
"That mage confirmed, it sounds like a fight with strength, but in fact, it is all power and money transactions behind the scenes. ”
"You're saying that many of the mage's seals on the market now are bought with money?"
"Or else?" Niu Mang asked rhetorically.
"Hmm......" Bai Jian frowned and said, "It seems that the Fayuan White Elephant Pagoda is also useless?"
"Hmph, Fayuan White Elephant Tower," Niu Mang said disdainfully, "I'm afraid there are not many people who can enter, let alone pass those seven-layer trials!"
"Then what do you think is the difference between the results of trials and the results of transactions?" Bai Jian asked.
Isn't the difference between the two obvious? Niu Mang listened to Bai Jian's question, looked at Bai Jian like a fool, and said, "It's enough for you to buy a mage seal, do business, and help others cast some small spells." However, the results of the trial are not only a matter of buying and selling, but also a real proof of your strength. ”
"Then in this Shakun City now, is there anyone who has obtained the confirmation of magic with his true skills?" asked Bai Jian.
"Of course there is!" Niu Mang looked excited, not only did he speak a few times louder, but even his waist, which had been lying on his back, straightened up with excitement.
"My father Niu Qing is! He's an archmage. It's just that he harmed the villain surnamed Huang!"
"Huh?" Niu Mang frowned, "The laws in this Shakun City are also complete, and the power of supervision cannot be said to be weak, so why should it be harmful?"
"I see you know a lot," Niu said recklessly, "but don't you know that there are still some blind spots in the law in this city?"
"For example?" Hearing the blind spot of the law, Bai Jian's tone was flat, but there was a trace of surprise and joy on his face.
"The Green Goblin Forest, and the Quicksand Islands, and so on. When Niu Mang said of the Quicksand Islands, he had already stood up and looked directly at the white sword.
After a moment of silence, he sat down again, bowed his head and muttered:
"You know, my father was ...... by the one surnamed Huang in the quicksand islands?"
The voice was small, but full of sadness.
Bai Jian approached Niu Mang, patted the other party's shoulder, and said in a calm tone:
"If you want to do something, you have to be like your father. ”
"What?" Niu Mang looked up at Bai Jian, with some confusion in his eyes, but with some expectation, "You mean ......"
"Yes, that's what I meant. Bai Jian nodded, "When you become an archmage, the people in Shakun City will respect you, and at that time, even if he comes to fight Huang Xun, you can also get rid of them, right?"
"Become an archmage ......," Niu Mang muttered to himself, his eyes shining a little more.
Of course, this reversal has a strong incitement for Niu Mang.
"It takes a lot of practice to pass the trial of the White Elephant Tower, but now in this shop, I don't even dare to use the most basic spells, can I really do it?" Niu Mang was a little unconfident again, and asked Bai Jiandao.
If a person who has not obtained official confirmation uses magic without authorization, he will be severely punished by the city government building once he is discovered.
When Bai Jian heard this, he smiled indifferently, put his head to Niu Mang's ear, and whispered something, so that Niu Mang kept nodding his head, and turned his head to look at Bai Jian in surprise from time to time.
