Chapter Seventy-One: The Inorganic Building
It is very strange that Yuanmuyu was not bounced out, but stuck to Xiao Jiansheng like a dog skin plaster, Xiao Jiansheng tried to shake it a few times, but he didn't shake it down, this scene made many onlookers laugh.
At this moment, Yuanmuyu raised his head with bared teeth, looking at the mouth shape, it seemed to be extremely dissatisfied like muttering a few words, but when he saw Xiao Jiansheng's face was stunned, he felt that this face was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and then remembered, looked up at Xiao Jiansheng, and said in surprise, "Hey, where did you take that beautiful sister?"
Xiao Jiansheng also felt a sense of déjà vu, and then suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Is your master and his old man okay?"
Speaking of the master, Yuan Muyu complained even more, got down from Xiao Jiansheng, pouted, sighed like an adult, and said: "It's really hard to say, it's best not to mention my master for the New Year, originally this way was to pursue that sister, but I lost my ...... when I entered the Sage Domain."
When Yuan Muyu said this, Xiao Jiansheng's eyes suddenly widened, and he said hurriedly: "You say...... She's coming to the Sage Domain?"
Yuan Muyu nodded and said, "What the master said, he said that he could sense his sister's breath." ”
Xiao Jiansheng grabbed the Yuanmuyu and gasped: "Where does your master live, take me to find it, I found a lot of benefits." ”
Yuanmuyu was happy at first, and then his face was depressed, and he said: "I'm afraid it won't work now, the master said ......"
Yuan Muyu didn't continue, but looked around cautiously, and then said in a low voice: "The master asked Yu'er to go to the Ma family's arsenal to steal a few books, otherwise he will go on a hunger strike for three days, and he will never take Yu'er to find his sister in the future." ”
Speaking of this, Yuanmuyu's eyes were red, and Xiao Jiansheng was also extremely uncomfortable, she really came to the Sage Domain, could it be that she changed her mind and wanted to apologize to herself?
Xiao Jiansheng nodded in a trance and said, "If it were you, I'm afraid it would be difficult, why didn't your master do it himself?"
Yuanmuyu said aggrievedly: "The master said, if you catch a shameful person, the fish is still young, and if you catch it, it will be a beating at most." ”
Xiao Jiansheng didn't say any more, suddenly his mind was in a hurry, he touched Yuanmuyu's head, frowned and looked at the stewards, and then his eyes fell on Su Shamu, who had just walked not far away, and then took out a piece of silver and secretly stuffed it into Yuanmuyu's hand, and then whispered a few words.
Yuanmuyu took the silver and took a bite, jumped over, stood in front of the table half a head taller than him, stared at the steward with his hands behind his back, and said, "I and the brother in the back are going to go in together, how much does it cost, let's make a price." ”
The steward couldn't stop laughing, then shook his head and said: "Our Ma family is not bad for your copper plates, unless you can report your master's name, if your master's reputation is big enough, maybe you can consider it." ”
Yuanmuyu suddenly became embarrassed, not that he didn't want to report, but he tried a few times without effect, the master's name didn't seem to be as valuable as the silver in his hand, but it was forced to this point, and Yuanmuyu also
Helpless.
Yuan Muyu said in a low voice: "Ning Tieshoe, have you ever heard of it?" ”
"Ning Tie Shoes...... What the hell?"
The steward smacked his lips like chewing wax, then shook his head and laughed, "Little one, you're sure you're not mistaken. ”
Seeing that there was no hope, for a while, Yuanmuyu's face was red and his neck was thickened, and he suddenly slapped the piece of silver on the table, and said indignantly: "My master added this, is it enough? I promised that brother and I would only read books and not steal books when we went in." ”
The steward glanced at Xiao Jiansheng lightly, looked up at the sky, and suddenly became impatient, and was about to order someone to drive Xiao Jiansheng and Yuanmuyu away, but at this moment, someone coughed lightly in the deep doorway, and then a person's phantom appeared.
After a few breaths, the phantom gradually solidified, revealing a complete human form, an old man with a very old age, his hair was scattered, and his body was unusually emaciated, causing the gray coarse cloth on the outside to seem to be wrapped around a skeleton.
The point is that there are no shoes on the feet, and a pair of black feet seem to be made of iron.
The appearance of the old man made everyone present hold their breath, and those people in the Ma family even quickly lowered their heads, their eyes did not dare to touch even a glance, Xiao Jiansheng was no better, more than a dozen steps away, he could feel an unprecedented feeling of oppression, although the old man did not reveal a trace of the breath of a strong man, but it gave him the illusion that he was old and refined, too strong.
On the contrary, after Yuan Muyu saw the old man, his face suddenly relaxed a lot, he pointed at the old man with his little finger, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Ma Xingkong, I didn't expect you to go to Ma's house to eat and drink again." ”
The old man walked over, pretending to be very angry, and said angrily: "Little rabbit cub, this is also what your old immortal master taught?"
Yuanmuyu nodded diligently, suddenly patted his head vigorously, and said apologetically: "I almost forgot what the master said, the master said, if you meet Grandpa Ma, you must tell Grandpa Ma a word." ”
The old man smiled: "There are no good words. ”
Yuan Muyu said: "The master said, he asked Grandpa Ma to go to him in his shoes." ”
The old man laughed a few times, then his eyes fell on Xiao Jiansheng, and he moved forward, and when he passed by Yuanmuyu, his dry fingers pinched a few small braids a few times, and then those wrinkled eyes looked at Xiao Jiansheng curiously, and took a few breaths.
But it was these few breaths of time, Xiao Jiansheng's clothes were soaked, but his body was cold and cold, Ma Xingkong, he was sure that he had not heard of this name, but fortunately, the old man in front of him should be an old acquaintance with Ning Tieshoe, Xiao Jiansheng persuaded himself to calm down, and said with an affectionate smile: "I have seen Ma senior." ”
Ma Xingkong said lightly: "The movement is quite big, but the luck is not bad." ”
Xiao Jiansheng could naturally think of what Ma Xingkong's so-called good luck meant, thinking of this, he became more and more nervous, pressed his head very low, and then whispered: "I don't know if Senior Ma went out in person, what are the arrangements?"
Ma Xingkong asked rhetorically, "What kind of arrangement do you want?"
Xiao Jiansheng was speechless.
Yuan Muyu leaned over and smiled: "This brother and I want to go into the Ma family's arsenal to have a look, I don't know if it's okay?"
Ma Xingkong asked rhetorically: "Little guy, how many words do you know?"
Yuanmuyu wrenched a few fingers, moved his mind, and said: "This is the master's meaning, if you fly like this, the fish is too lazy to come." ”
Ma Xingkong smiled and patted Yuanmuyu's head and motioned for the steward to release him.
It seems that those stewards are still dutiful, and today they carefully wrote a big red pass for Yuanmuyu, and then personally sent it to Yuanmuyu.
At this moment, Ma Xingkong glanced at Xiao Jiansheng's arms a few times, slowly stretched out his hand, and said lightly: "The guest order is handed over." ”
Xiao Jiansheng did not hesitate, and hurriedly handed the guest order to that hand.
Ma Xingkong shook it with his hand, and a puff of green smoke came out of Keqingling, disappearing into his palm.
Then, Ma Xingkong looked at Xiao Jiansheng again and stretched out his hand again.
Xiao Jiansheng took out the jade plate, but did not hand it over, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this can't be handed over to Senior Ma, this is a personal item." ”
Ma Xingkong smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, Ma Fu is in retreat, and this piece of Qingxia jade is kept by you for the time being." ”
Xiao Jiansheng subconsciously asked, "Do you know from the seniors, does Ma Fu have a chance to get out?"
Ma Xingkong chuckled: "It's man-made, it's hard to say." ”
Xiao Jiansheng saw that Ma Xingkong was still good at talking, and it seemed that his status in the Ma family was extremely high, and he was about to ask if he could go in, but at this moment, Ma Xingkong said: "Go in and take care of that little guy, remember not to run around at will." ”
Xiao Jiansheng nodded and looked at the stewards.
The steward who stopped him just now had the name of Xiao Jiansheng written on the blank pass with reluctance, and then placed it on the corner of the table.
Xiao Jiansheng simply bowed to Ma Xingkong, then walked over and picked up the pass, put it to his mouth and blew the ink that had not dried, and gestured to the Yuanmuyu with his eyes, and the two walked towards the vermilion gate.
It wasn't until the figures of Xiao Jiansheng and Yuanmuyu disappeared that Ma Xingkong looked at a few stewards and asked, "Who does it mean to stop people?"
Several stewards were so nervous that they couldn't even speak for a while, and under the forced gaze of Ma Xingkong, one of the stewards stood up, clenched his fists and whispered: "Patriarch Hui, Elder Su came here just now......
Ma Xingkong said with a smile: "Don't scream yet, the patriarch has not yet been decided." ”
Several stewards hurriedly suppressed their breathing and did not dare to say more.
Next, Ma Xingkong looked due south quietly, and the old eyes that seemed to be dim traveled dozens of miles, first landing on the Four Elephant Fort, and then on the stone statue of Ma Fengchuan, chuckling, but the voice was extremely low.
After about half a pillar of incense, Ma Xingkong turned around and walked towards Zhumen with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, Xiao Jiansheng and Yuan Muyu have already entered the Ma family's compound, and wherever they pass, there will be signs standing on the roadside without interruption, otherwise with the style of the Ma family, if they want to find the arsenal, at least half a day.
Along the road, the edge of the wooden fish playful, one will climb the rockery, and the other will jump into the stream to touch the fish, but Xiao Jiansheng does not have this good mood, he always feels that the horse's empty smile is deliberately pretended, but he can't say anything wrong, especially when he asks for Mafu's jade pendant, that rhetoric, that expression, as if a little schadenfreude.
The construction of the city of Majia is staggered, a total of three gradients, the first gradient is the private house, exclusively for accommodation, the second gradient is the place of various discussions, there are countless large and small buildings, according to the signs, the arsenal is above the gradient of the mountain, and it is necessary to pass through an air corridor that spans dozens of zhang, and the end of the corridor is the most famous and magnificent building of the Ma family, the nine-story arsenal, the name of the inorganic building.
