Chapter 11: Sword Tyrant
Xia Qing carried Zhao's housekeeper and went straight to Lao Langzhong's pharmacy.
Xu Tianfu, the old man sitting at the door, reacted, hurriedly put down the wine glass and chopsticks, obviously a little flustered.
Xia Qing threw a bag of silver taels in front of Lao Langzhong, "One thousand and one taels, bring the things, and reward you with the extra one or two taels of silver." ”
For an old guy like Xu Tianfu, Xia Qing didn't have a good face.
Xu Tianfu's old face turned red, and he turned around and packed the ginseng and cockscomb vine and other medicinal materials that Xia Qing wanted, and asked the shopkeeper to give them to Xia Qing.
Xia Qing turned around and left, without a superfluous word, he didn't have the same knowledge as the old guy, and it was not worth wasting time on him.
The little girl didn't know when she came to the door of the pharmacy and blocked Xia Qing's way, "Give me the painting!"
"Not for sale!" Xia Qing was very simple.
"Eight thousand taels!" the little girl angrily raised the price.
"No need to talk. ”
"Nine thousand taels!"
"I have already said it in advance, don't wait for it to be outdated, don't insult my personality with silver. ”
"Ten thousand taels!"
"Don't be like this, do you think I look like a man who bends his waist for the sake of silver taels?"
The little girl raised the price all the way, but Xia Qing kept refusing, and from time to time looked at the noble lady sitting in the carriage with the rest of her eyes.
The little girl pouted, and she was about to cry in anger. I finally came across something I liked, but I couldn't buy it with money, not to mention how uncomfortable it was, this painting seller was so hateful.
Xia Qing didn't let go of his cold mouth, and he never wavered for the silver tael, and even the big butler Zhao couldn't look at it.
"Qianqian ......"
The beautiful woman finally couldn't sit still, her voice was soft and very good, soft to the bones, and she got out of the car and walked over in a curling manner, "Girl, aren't there just a few paintings, why are you crying?"
"Auntie, I just like it. The little girl begged, "Auntie, will you tell him to sell it to me?"
"Little girl, ...... you"
The beautiful woman shook her head lovingly, looked at Xia Qing on the side, her facial features were covered with a veil on her face, and her voice was not in a hurry or slow, "This son, 20,000 taels, how about it?"
The onlookers were stunned, thinking that they had misheard, 20,000 taels of silver was enough to buy a city.
Xia Qing was also surprised, his heart began to waver, he couldn't hold on, how many people couldn't earn this amount in their lives, and finally settled down, and said hard: "I'm sorry, I don't sell any silver!"
"Oh, you mean it's only exchangeable?"
The beautiful woman has much more experience than the little girl, and when she heard Xia Qing's words, she took off a crystal clear bun from her head, "This bun is from the hand of a master and is carved from the finest jade." Childe, how about changing your paintings?"
Xia Qing is also from a family, and he is used to seeing all kinds of treasures and works of art, so he knows the preciousness of this bun at a glance, but he is afraid that he can't buy it without 50,000 taels of silver, and his heart is even more shaken. If the price is a little higher, it seems that it is not a big deal to bend the waist occasionally, and the husband can bend and stretch. Xia Qing wanted to continue refusing, but his body was very honest, his heart was beating faster, and his heart was moving, so he finally gritted his teeth and shook his head.
Many Ghost-faced Riders pressed forward, one by one aggressive like tigers and wolves, and the onlookers hurriedly retreated, lest they be swept in.
"Bold, all stand down!"
The beautiful woman stopped, looking at Xia Qing, who was hard, was not angry, her voice became softer, and she took off a string of Buddha beads on her wrist, each bead was carved with a Buddha, or sat cross-legged and meditated, or pinched the Dharma seal with her hands, and there was a powerful force fluctuation in the air, "This is the eighteen demon extermination seals of the Fallen Leaf Temple, after wearing it, no evil will invade, no demons and monsters dare to approach, it is a Buddhist treasure, and those who are destined can even understand the top exercises of Buddhism from the beads." Childe, how about exchanging this string of beads with you?"
The beautiful woman seemed to love the little girl very much, and took off all the Buddhist treasures that she had worn for many years.
"Young Master, promise her!" Butler Zhao's voice sounded in Xia Qing's mind, his voice was loud, and even a little urgent.
Xia Qing hesitated, this time he went out to act as a bait, and lured out the bull ghosts, snakes, and gods who were plotting to subvert the Xia Wangfu, and what he needed was a Buddhist treasure like the Eighteen Demon Exterminating Seals, especially the lonely souls and wild ghosts of the Hundred Ghost Gates, which was definitely a rare big killing weapon. Xia Qing almost agreed, took a deep breath before calming down, and continued to shake his head.
"Hey, then what do you want?" The little girl Zhao Qianqian couldn't help it, she had never seen such a bully.
Xia Qing replied, "I don't want silver taels, and I don't want treasures. ”
Zhao Qianqian's eyes were red and she was about to cry again, she really didn't have a problem with Xia Qing, she had never seen such an unreasonable person. Since you don't sell it, why do you still hang up the painting and hook people up, isn't this deliberately harming people?
The beautiful woman's eyes rolled, and she glanced at the butler Zhao on Xia Qing's back, and suddenly understood, "Childe, do you want pills?"
"Yes, a life-saving elixir that can bring the dead back to life. ”
Xia Qing nodded, put down Butler Zhao, and waited for so long, what he was waiting for was the words of the beautiful woman. When he saw the beautiful woman coming from the sky, he had a plan in his heart, knowing that the other party definitely had a great background, and was eager to take the opportunity to heal the big housekeeper Zhao.
There is no way, Steward Zhao's injuries are too serious, and his life cannot be exchanged for silver or two, especially his own life-saving benefactor. In other words, just three paintings can be exchanged for 20,000 taels of silver, Xia Qing has already agreed, I can't wait to sell a few more, the cost is just a little ink, it is a fool not to sell, and it is uncomfortable to pretend not to bend my waist for two silver. If the beautiful woman continues to raise the price, he really has no confidence to continue to pretend to be reserved.
"Little master, that string of beads is a good thing, you shouldn't miss it. Butler Zhao closed his eyes and didn't move, but his voice sounded in Xia Qing's mind, and he sighed faintly.
Xia Qing was unmoved, as if he hadn't heard.
The beautiful woman took a step forward, carefully looked at the wound of the big butler Zhao, her eyes gradually became solemn, and she took out a box of silver needles from her arms.
"Madam, don't ......"
A big man who looked like a guard commander walked up, more than two meters tall and as burly as a mountain, and the grimace mask on his face was particularly hideous and terrifying, glaring at Xia Qing fiercely as he spoke, revealing a murderous aura.
"General Zhao, step aside!"
The beautiful woman scolded, stretched out her orchid finger and picked up a seven-inch-long silver needle, "Childe, the little woman went out in a bit of a hurry this time, and she didn't bring any good pills." Your elder seems to be poisoned, the little woman knows a little about acupuncture, try to see if she can protect his heart and continue his life, what do you think?"
The beautiful woman is very modest and polite, and her voice is still so moving, but the world asks herself if she can help people protect her heart and continue her life, and she is afraid that she can count it with one hand.
Xia Qing became excited, but she didn't expect that the beautiful woman was still a master of medical skills, "Okay, then it's troublesome Madame." ”
The beautiful woman slowly lowered the needle, and pierced into the treasury point of Zhao's butler chest inch by inch, and there was a faint blue light flickering on the silver needle, and every time she pierced an inch, smoke came out of the top of the beautiful woman's head. is not only a master of medical skills, but also a master with unfathomable skills.
Xia Qing became nervous, and her eyes did not blink.
The many Ghost-Faced Horsemen quickly dispersed, driving the onlookers far aside, and setting up a killing array centered on the beautiful woman, heavily guarded it. Looking at these murderous ghost-faced knights, the bullying ruffians in the past hid as far as they could, knowing that these people were far from being something they could provoke.
The beautiful woman took out the second silver needle, and after the needle was put down, she seemed to feel that something was wrong, "Childe, what kind of poison is in your senior?"
Xia Qing hesitated for a moment, and told the truth, "The Five Poison Demon Gods are scattered." ”
"The Five Poisons Demon God of the Five Poisons Sect is scattered?" the beautiful woman asked, her voice still not in a hurry, but the faces of the ghost-faced riders around her changed greatly.
"Exactly. Xia Qing replied.
The beautiful woman took out the third silver needle, and her voice was the same as before, "How long has it been?"
Xia Qing silently calculated, "One day and two nights." ”
"How is that possible?"
General Zhao, the commander of the Ghost Mask Knight, exclaimed, the Five Poison Demon Gods of the Five Poison Sect are famous all over the world, and those who are in the middle will die, and no one has ever been able to survive an hour, let alone a day and two nights.
The beautiful woman's hand also shook a little, and then, continuing to lower the needle, more smoke came out of the top of her head, and she pricked six needles in one breath. Finally, just as he was about to pierce the last silver needle into the center of his eyebrows, Steward Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The beautiful woman moved, and the boundless pressure came to her face, feeling that the person sitting in front of her was not an old man, but a sword that could not see the sky, and the silver needle was close at hand but could not pierce it, "Senior, are you awake?"
"Wake up. Butler Zhao replied.
"What is your surname?" asked the beautiful woman.
"The surname is Zhao. ”
Zhao's housekeeper cherishes words like gold.
"Well, the surname is Zhao ......"
The beautiful woman groaned, a few drops of cold sweat slowly dripping from her forehead, and said slowly: "In the past, there was a master surnamed Zhao on the rivers and lakes, a long sword swept across the north and south of the river, not an emperor but above the emperor in the world, known as the sword tyrant. The past is like smoke, but I didn't expect it to be ...... today."
"Many years ago, there was a beauty who walked out of the hanging mountain, a needle in his hand, God was frightened and cried, Daluo Demon King's creation power was unstoppable, because he loved peach blossoms the most, and was called the peach blossom demon queen. The beauty is beyond the world, but she is married to a super devil, hehe......" Zhao's housekeeper hehe sneered.
The beautiful woman got up, grabbed the little girl Zhao Qianqian and slowly retreated, "It's the little girl who is reckless, thank you for the kindness of the seniors who didn't kill." ”
Butler Zhao didn't say a word, and slowly closed his eyes, as if he had exhausted his strength in a few words.
"Auntie, wait a minute. ”
Zhao Qianqian struggled and stretched out her hand to Xia Qing, "Hey, my painting!"
"All three paintings are here, put them away. Xia Qing stepped forward and stuffed the three paintings into the little girl's hand.
"What's your name, little painter?" asked the little girl.
"Xia Qing. Xia Qing replied.
"My name is Zhao Qianqian, I'll see you in the future, I'll take you to the depths of the desert to play, you teach me to draw, goodbye." ”
The little girl waved her hand and was dragged back to the carriage by the beautiful woman.
"Let's go!"
The beautiful woman ordered, lowered the curtain of the carriage, and said not a word more.
The carriage rolled forward, hurrying away under the escort of the Ghost-Faced Riders.
Looking at the carriage that was leaving in a hurry, Xia Qing thought thoughtfully, "Butler Zhao, that beauty seems to be afraid of you?"
"I'm afraid of her. Butler Zhao replied.
"Have you done anything earth-shattering, or have you done anything hurtful to others, which is rude to others?"
Butler Zhao rolled his eyes and was speechless.
"Not speaking is acquiescence, well, who hasn't been young? ”
Xia Qing smiled evilly, picked up Zhao's housekeeper and left. It seemed that Steward Zhao's complexion was a little better, which made him secretly relieved. As long as he survives to Wuzhou, Steward Zhao will be saved.
"A bad stomach!"
Butler Zhao shook his head, wondering if he had lost his eyes.
"What's the matter, I'm very kind, it's because I'm too honest and kind, and I will suffer if I'm not careful. Xia Qing blinked.
"When you meet the Peach Blossom Enchantress in the future, stay away from her, especially after she takes off her veil. Butler Zhao reminded.
"Why, it's too ugly and scary?" Xia Qing asked.
Steward Zhao stopped talking, as if he was thinking about something.
Xia Qing was even more puzzled, not knowing who the Peach Blossom Demon Queen was, and left with Zhao's housekeeper behind her back while thinking about it, and disappeared into the darkness.
