Chapter 212: A Different Kind of Mind
Qingxi No. 1 Teahouse, in the private room on the top floor, a middle-aged man with an average-looking beard and waist-length beard was sitting on the chair leisurely, waiting quietly.
This person is none other than Cui Geng, the head of the Cui family in the imperial capital, the head of the five major families of the Qingxi Empire, the man who is called a legend, a wise and almost demonic guy!
Although Cui has no problem with dealing with people and things, his attitude is very good, and he can hardly find any flaws, but Ye Moshu has no expression on his face, after all, Ye Moshu has long known that this Cui Geng must be a weasel to give New Year's greetings to chickens, uneasy and kind, and he is courteous and attentive, either a traitor or a thief! Besides, this old guy was originally a world-famous wise man, famous for calculating people, so it is definitely not to be taken lightly, although he is now smiling at you and looking familiar, but he may not be able to calculate you in his heart! If you are easy to make friends, you may be sold and stupidly help others count the money.
"I don't know what Mr. Cui is looking for me? I think we didn't seem to know each other at all, and we didn't have much to do with each other! Ye Moshu looked indifferent, ignoring Cui Geng's enthusiasm at all, and just said lightly with an expressionless face.
What kind of character is Choi? An old fox who is strategizing and wisely crowns the world, of course, from the moment Ye Moshu entered the door, he already knew the unhappiness in Ye Moshu's heart, and in just a few seconds, he had already figured out the thoughts in Ye Moshu's heart.
Seeing that Ye Moshu had a negative attitude and a cold tone at this moment, in order to ease the atmosphere, he couldn't help but smile, "The old man knows that it is really a bit abrupt to suddenly invite a few little friends to come to this Qingxi No. 1 teahouse to drink tea, and it is the old man's fault for being reasonable, the old man is here to compensate everyone in advance, but this matter is because there is a reason for it, and the old man has very important things to discuss with a few little friends, but the old man is worried that a few little friends will leave this place immediately, so he made this decision, and please don't mind the little friends." ”
Cui is even more worthy of an old fox, he speaks without leakage, as soon as he opens his mouth, he apologizes, says his fault, and then says that there is a reason for the incident, even if Ye Moshu knows that he is uneasy and kind, he must have other ideas, but he can't find a reason to refute it.
Seeing this situation, Cui Geng paused after the right to speak was already in his own hands, and then continued: "I heard that when I was in the antique street just now, a few little friends bought the treasure airplane cup of the previous dynasty, I don't know if this is true or fake?"
Ye Moshu glanced at Cui Geng, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, this old guy is really, he just got the airplane cup on his front foot, and he invited himself to drink tea on his back foot, and at this time he asked if he got the airplane cup, true or false! If you weren't sure you got the airplane cup, would you invite yourself over? If you want to get the airplane cup, just say it, what kind of village is it, what a hypocrite.
Ye Moshu is in the spirit of more than one thing is better than less, and he doesn't want to deal with an old fox like Cui Geng, anyway, the plane cup is useless to himself, and others will forget it for him, but when Ye Moshu was about to throw the plane cup directly, and then took Shangguan Mo, Zhao Xiaobao, and Luo Yu and a few people to leave, but suddenly patted his head, and suddenly remembered that he still had a system task!
The system said that it was necessary to find out the origin of the airplane cup and the true identity of the river god by itself, although the mission failed, there was no unacceptable punishment, but ten top-grade spirit stones had to be deducted! You must know that Ye Moshu's entire net worth does not add up to ten spirit stones! Therefore, we must not give up the mission, and the plane cup will not be given to Cui Geng!
However, after all, the other party is the head of the Cui family, and the Cui family is the head of the five major families of the Qingxi Empire, which is a behemoth, even the royal family of the Qingxi Empire is not as big as a single hair! And the Cui family's family is still a smart superhuman Cui Geng, if he refuses, then there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future!
Ye Mo Shu thought about it, and couldn't help but hesitate, but Ye Mo Shu thought in a blink of an eye, anyway, the plane cup is in his own hand, and he and the others are all cultivators, not to mention a mere Cui family, even if all the martial arts masters in the Qingxi Empire are combined, it is impossible for them to be the opponent of himself and others, so even if the other party wants to use strength, he is not afraid at all!
So Ye Moshu mustered up his courage and planned to reject Cui Geng straightforwardly, but suddenly thought of it again, after all, this airplane cup is just a legendary thing, and no matter who gets it, normal people will only regard it as a prank, after all, it is impossible for a pie to fall from the sky, and it is because of the systematic release of tasks that he is sure that this airplane cup is not simple.
And what about the other side? I haven't seen the airplane cup at all, just got the news that I have the airplane cup, so I swore that I ran over, wanting to get the airplane cup, if the other party didn't know what the inside story was, I wouldn't believe it when I killed Ye Moshu!
Thinking that the other party must know some secrets, and his own character needs to find out the origin of the plane cup and the true identity of the river god, he can't help but make up his mind, and is ready to make up his mind with the other party to see if he can find out some news.
"Hahaha, don't tell Mr. Cui that this airplane cup is indeed here, and I also got it by chance by accident, looking at Mr. Cui's so cautious appearance, is it possible that there is anything special about this airplane cup? I wonder if the old gentleman can explain a thing or two to us?" Ye Moshu said tentatively.
Cui Geng heard what Ye Moshu said, he couldn't help frowning, and muttered to himself in his heart, after hearing the news that the spies had just heard the news that the plane cup was in the antique street, he rushed over non-stop, and he had been paying close attention to it, and he knew Ye Moshu's actions well!
According to the news given to them by the spies, Ye Moshu and they did not know the secret of the airplane cup, so when they first got the airplane cup, they were very ignorant, but Luo Yu, who followed them, was a person who knew the origin of the airplane cup, so he told them the ins and outs of the airplane cup.
But why do they pretend not to know the secret of the airplane cup at this time? Well, they must be trying to trick me, and in that case, then it's okay for me to tell you some news that everyone knows!
Cui even thought of this, his brows stretched, his face was full of smiles, and he said to Ye Moshu with endless courtesy: "Hahaha, about this airplane cup, in fact, there is still a legend, this secret is rarely known, and I am also because of the head of the Cui family, this opportunity to know, this rumor was only circulated hundreds of years ago, presumably you don't know, since meeting is fate, I and a few of you friends can also be regarded as fate, since this is the case, then I will tell you!" ”
Cui even touched his beard, squinted his eyes and lowered his voice with a smile, with a mysterious expression, as if he was afraid of being overheard by others, as if the wall had ears, and whispered to Ye Moshu: "This has to start from hundreds of years ago, the dynasty before this dynasty has gone through hundreds of years, and it is very strong, I think a few people have also heard of it, and the origin of this airplane cup is related to the Taizu of the previous dynasty!" ”
After Cui Geng finished speaking, he also signaled a confidential look at Ye Moshu, as if this was a big secret, but Ye Moshu rolled his eyes, Lao Tzu's pants were taken off, you just show me this? Kid me! The story of the airplane cup and the former dynasty Taizu Ao Guanhai, Luo Yu has already told me a long time ago, do you think I want to hear it? What I want to know is the true origin of the airplane cup and the true identity of the river god in the story, dear!
However, Cui Geng didn't pay attention to Ye Moshu's speechless expression, but continued: "It is said that the former dynasty Taizu Ao Guanhai, but a seventy or eighty-year-old old man, but because he picked up a penny on the road one day, he excitedly handed over the money to the policeman's uncle, who praised him for being a good person and rewarded him with a small red flag, and later he took the red flag to the pawnshop to sell, and took the silver to the grocery store to buy a cup!" ”
Hearing Cui Geng say this, Ye Moshu was even more speechless, did you hear the news from Luo Yu, how is it exactly the same as what Luo Yu said? Can you talk about the main point?
Ye Moshu was going crazy at this moment, and he couldn't wait to kick Cui Geng, and use the special means of cultivators to check the information he wanted, but fortunately, his wit finally defeated his impulse, knowing that he was now in the Qingxi Empire, and the person opposite was the most powerful person in the Qingxi Empire, and he couldn't be offended, so he took a deep breath, and then calmed down and continued to listen.
However, Cui Geng still said to himself: "Do you think that the cup that Ao Guanhai bought in the grocery store is an airplane cup?" Of course, this is impossible, after all, the pie in the sky is only in fairy tales, how can there be such a good thing in reality! If you can buy an airplane cup in a grocery store, then it is impossible for the Qingxi Empire to have only one person, Ao Guanhai, looking at the five thousand years of the Qingxi Empire, the only person who can start a rebellion at the age of seventy or eighty and be the emperor at the age of 100! ”
Cui Geng said this, his eyes couldn't help but be extremely envious, after all, although Cui Geng's wisdom is unparalleled, but his martial arts cultivation is average, even if the family has a variety of skin care products, but at most he will live a few years longer than ordinary people, so he is extremely envious of Ao Guanhai's longevity.
But envy is envy, the story is not over yet, Cui Geng took a sip of the tea on the table, moistened his throat, and continued: "After Ao Guanhai bought a cup at the grocery store, he accidentally dropped the cup into the water when he crossed the river, and at this time the river god came out, and the river god asked him the old man, did you fall into this golden cup?" Ao Guanhai honestly said no; The river god asked him again, "Is that this silver cup?" Ao Guanhai still said honestly that it was not, so the river god was very happy and said that Ao Guanhai was very honest, so he rewarded him with a plane cup! ”
"River God?!"
When Ye Moshu heard this, he couldn't help but feel energetic, and finally got to the point, he couldn't help but get excited excitedly, and asked Cui Geng, "Do you know who the river god is?" ”
"Who?!"
Cui couldn't help frowning, because he didn't know who the river god was, you must know that he had always thought that the river god was the legendary immortal, or just now the spies overheard the conversation of Ye Moshu and a few people on the street, so he knew that the river god might be the legendary cultivator.
But at this moment, Cui Geng naturally couldn't expose his ignorance, so he had to pretend not to understand, his face was shocked, and he said matter-of-factly: "This is just a legend of the origin of the airplane cup, of course it is impossible for immortals to exist, but you must know that there are cultivators in the world!" Therefore, it is very likely that the river god in that story is the cultivator, and the airplane cup that the river god gave to Ao Guanhai may be the magic weapon of the legendary cultivator! ”
"Sure enough!"
Ye Moshu couldn't help but nodded, it seems that this Cui Geng does know some rumors about the river god, it seems that his mission is a mistake this time, after all, this Qingxi Empire is a place with barren aura, and there is no possibility of a cultivator at all, and Cui Geng can accurately tell the identity of the river god is a cultivator, if Cui Geng doesn't know something, then I think it's impossible.
And after Cui Geng finished speaking, he stared at Ye Moshu, observed Ye Moshu's expression, and saw Ye Moshu show an expression that was really like this, and his heart couldn't help but tremble! You must know that the Cui family, as a family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and is also the head of the five major families of the Qingxi Empire, the secret of Ao Guanhai is naturally recorded, and Cui Geng, as the head of the Cui family in the imperial capital, has of course read those records.
Before Ao Guanhai got the airplane cup, he was an old man who needed help to cross the road, but since he got the airplane cup, he actually began to rejuvenate, and not only his strength has become greater, his talent has become better, and he has become smarter.
The most important thing is that in the Qingxi Empire, a country where there is no inheritance of cultivators, only martial arts inheritance, the average life expectancy is generally about fifty years old, even seventy years old is rare, as for a hundred years old, they are all Renrui, and what about Ao Guanhai? Although people have become smarter and their talents have become better, at most they can write a few limerick poems, and their kung fu is barely a third-rate realm, but they have passed more than 200 people! That's almost three times as much as the average person!
Cui Geng had always thought that the airplane cup had such a miraculous effect, it was because of the gift of the river god, and the gods and gods could not be found, so he gradually lost interest, and now he actually learned that Ye Moshu and they actually knew the news of the cultivator, and he couldn't help but be surprised!
To know the legend of the gods or something, when it comes to Cui Geng's level, almost all know that it is fake, but the cultivator is real, and when he thinks that the airplane cup is actually related to the legendary cultivator, Cui Geng can't help but have a different kind of thought in his heart...
