Chapter XXII Purchase

[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that the Grand Judge of the Immortal Dao was impulsive, and almost caused a big fight and exposed his whereabouts, so he could only stun everyone with the medicinal powder, take the soul qi on the coffin, and disappear without a trace. And Mu Qingming also went to the entrance of Guanghua Street according to the information he got from Hongyu, entered the small restaurant where the thieves had been, and asked about the soul. Led out Mu Qingming asked what he wanted to know, left the restaurant with his disciples, went to the small vegetable garden under the city wall outside the city, found Zhu San, and asked Zhu San to find the little thief's residence under the guidance of Zhu San, and buy the soul qi in the other party's hand. 】

The wind is blowing, and the sky and the earth are much cooler.

A strong and powerful wind howled and raged across the entire dam where Spring City was located. Even though the walls of Kunming City are tall and strong, they can't stop this strong and powerful wind. The strong wind that jumped over the wall blew into the city, and whistled and whistled away in the city.

There is a banner hanging on the door of the small restaurant, swaying and flying, and the sound of hunting. On the street outside the door, dust and fallen leaves were swept up by the wind, and they were blown in the air with the wind.

In the restaurant, Mu Qingming picked up the white porcelain wine jug, poured a glass of wine for the shopkeeper of the restaurant who was sitting opposite him after the wine was served, and asked, "You seem to be very familiar with this thief?" ”。

"That is, this kid's surname is Zhang, and he always boasts that his ancestors don't know how many generations of ancestors are the Yellow Turban Army. When he has money, he likes to come to my house to drink two cups, and this time and two will be cooked. "The shopkeeper is also a straightforward and alcoholic person, and his eyes light up when he looks at the wine. took a sip of wine, smashed it, smashed it, and said bluntly regardless of it: "This kid can be regarded as a thief in this industry, and his skills are higher." Most of us thieves in central Yunnan don't pay much attention to too many skills, but this kid and his uncle don't know where they learned the method of 'looking, hearing, asking, and cutting', and like Zhu San, who has washed his hands in a golden basin, he is very popular in their industry. ”。

As he spoke, his spirit soared, and there was a little more pride on his face. It seems that knowing this thief is a matter of pride for him.

In just a few words, he had already drunk three glasses of wine.

Mu Qing listened while pouring wine for the shopkeeper without hesitation.

At this time, the trotter brought the dishes and laid them out one by one. There are two portions of beef, one cold and one hot. The white beef is thinly sliced and poured with a hot consommΓ©, which is a famous local beef soup slice. The cold ones are also sliced in the same rotary cut, but neatly stacked on a plate, with a serving of sweet soy sauce (sweet soy sauce is unique to Kunming).

There is also a hole in the pumpkin on it, digging out the gourd and stuffing it into the meat to steam, which is very chic pumpkin steamed pork. and a plate of tomato scrambled eggs mixed with tomatoes and eggs, and the colors are still distinct.

The smell of meat is overflowing, and the index finger of the person who smells it is moving, and the appetite is doubled.

"Master, what is Wangwen and Ask? See a doctor? Jiaoyun didn't care much about those dishes, but leaned closer to Mu Qingming and asked quietly.

"It's not a doctor, it's a grave-digging technique. Wang, is to look at the qi, to see the qi of the treasure land of feng shui, to see the landscape and topography to position. Smell has two meanings, one is to listen to sounds, and the other is to smell smells like a dog's nose. In general, large ancient tombs, although a large amount of soil is backfilled and compacted during burial, due to the age, these soils will inevitably produce natural settlement, and some of them will appear to be solid on the outside and empty on the inside. Once the tomb is shaken by a large vibration, such as thunder, the sound emitted by the surface is different from the sound of other places. Mu Qingming smiled, didn't care about the shopkeeper who had already poured himself a drink, but picked up the chopsticks and handed them to the two apprentices, and took the trouble to explain to Jiaoyun: "Asking is that tomb robbers have to gather information sources from many sources in order to find the mausoleum. There are many stories of ancient tombs in Chinese folklore, and this is the way to ask. The so-called cutting is to conduct an in-depth and detailed survey of the surface, which is also the most important part of finding the ancient tomb, which can not only judge the virtual reality of the ancient tomb, but also judge its age, scale, and the condition of the burial goods. This is not the same thing as the doctor's method of looking and hearing and seeing a doctor. ”。

"Oh, I see." Kyaukyun nodded as if he didn't understand.

"When that little thief used to brag about his skills in my shop, it was exactly the same as what you said now." The shopkeeper on the opposite side raised his head and smiled at Mu Qingming and asked, "Guest officer, you can't also be a thief, right?" ”。

As he spoke, he stood on one side, and the trotting hall, who could hear it, waved his hand, signaling him to step aside and not join in the fun. In the smile, there is still not the slightest malice.

"It's just that I'm well-informed, and I can't do this stormy business." Mu Qingming turned his head and smiled when he collided with his interested gaze in midair: "So he did take a silver nail from a certain tomb. ”。

Only when it is taken out of the tomb does it meet the characteristics of the soul qi.

The shopkeeper picked up a pair of chopsticks, put a slice of beef in his mouth, chewed it slowly and nodded: "Not only did he come out of the tomb, but he also sold seven pieces to an old man of the Tongcheng Gang to use as coffin nails." ”。

When Mu Qingming heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Where can I find this thief directly, I also want to buy a few such unique nails." ”。

"Then you can only look for Zhu San, although we are familiar with each other, we don't know where their nest is, and he hasn't come to drink these days and can't be contacted." The shopkeeper put down the chopsticks, drank the last sip of wine, and said to Mu Qingming: "The guest officer eats slowly, I still have to settle the account, and I am out of company." ”。

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves towards the counter, and the two jugs of wine on the table were already at the bottom.

"He drank all the wine, so he asked about it?" Ah Hong glanced back at the shopkeeper who was standing behind the counter and had already fiddled with the abacus, then turned his head and whispered to Mu Qingming: "Master, you lost this time." ”。

Mu Qingming shook his head silently a few times, and also whispered: "No, I already know where to find that thing." ”。

This made Ah Hong inexplicable, but after thinking about it for a while, Jiaoyun asked: "Could it be that the master knows the shopkeeper, Zhu San, who has been mentioned many times?" ”。

"Well, we're kind of a friend." Mu Qingming nodded and said, "Eat quickly, let's go find Zhu San when we're full." ”......

The river breeze blows through the small vegetable garden and brings a burst of coolness.

Zhu San, who was sitting on the ridge, picked up the towel hanging around his neck, wiped the sweat beads on his face and forehead, and picked up the cigarette stick to fill it with tobacco slowly.

He slowly and leisurely packed the tobacco, lit it and took a puff.

Since he stopped being a tomb robber, although this little life has not been as expensive as in the past, it is also comfortable. In addition to helping people move graves, he also planted a few acres of thin fields that he bought with his past savings. If you have nothing to do, you can also go fishing in the Panlong River next to you.

In addition, he made a lot of money from tomb robbing in the past, and his life was passable. Now he not only expanded and repaired his house in the small vegetable garden, but also married a wife, and lived his small life in peace, so he was uncomfortable and happy.

"Lao Zhu, it's time for lunch." Zhu San, who had only swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog a few times, saw a woman in a flower dress, carrying a basket and saying this, coming towards him.

This woman is the same age as Zhu San, although she is middle-aged, no one is old and yellow, and her charm still exists, and she is the daughter-in-law that Zhu San married.

Following her was a sturdy black dog, which was also raised by Zhu San after he was stable.

This woman was a widow who was often bullied before she met Zhu San. After meeting Zhu San, Zhu San saw that she was a little beautiful, thinking that he was taking advantage of her. But remembering that Mu Qingming asked him to abandon evil and follow the aftermath, this fierce tomb robber actually became a flower messenger.

After going back and forth, the two fell in love, so they simply got married and lived.

"Didn't you stay at home?" Zhu San's cigarette stick was thrown on the side of the land, he stood up on the ground, glanced at the woman's big belly, greeted it, took the basket and carefully supported the woman, slowly sat on the ridge, and complained: "I can deal with it by eating a few cakes." ”。

"I want you to eat hot, don't always eat cold and hard, plowing the field is manual work." The woman smiled back.

"Boss Zhu also knows that it hurts, this scenery is rare." At the same time, Mu Qingming's voice sounded from behind them, behind several large trees with clattering branches.

Zhu San was startled, turned his head to look, and saw Mu Qingming, who was smiling, with two young men and women born in Zhu Sanmian, walking out from behind the tree and coming towards him, and then said: "I went to Li's house with the door closed, and I never thought you were here." ”。

Zhu Sandeng was overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Young Master Mu." We haven't seen each other for almost a year, and I thought you were dead. ”。

The last time he spoke in such a trembling voice was when the doctor told him that his daughter-in-law was happy and that he was going to be a father.

"Hahaha, this young master belongs to a cat, nine lives. It's so easy for me to die. Mu Qingmingsan walked in front of Zhu San in two steps, and the smile on his face did not decrease, and he said to Ah Hong and Jiaoyun: "It's called Uncle Zhu." ”。

"Uncle Zhu." Jiaoyun and Ah Hong didn't dare to disobey their master's orders, and called Zhu Sanxing respectfully. Even though Ah Hong is 100 years older than Zhu Sansan, he is still willing.

"Your sons and daughters." Zhu San glanced at the two and asked.

"If only I could have such a big child, I would be able to enjoy the blessings of leisure. They are my apprentices. Before Mu Qingming finished speaking, Zhu San had already pulled his daughter-in-law to his side.

He excitedly introduced Mu Qingming to his wife: "This is the Young Master Mu I often mention to you." ”。

"The concubine has seen Young Master Mu."

The woman smiled and bent her knees with difficulty, wanting to give Mu Qingming a blessing, but Mu Qingming hurriedly supported her arm with one hand, making her stand up straight: "If you are pregnant, you don't need to be polite." ”。

"Let's get down to business first." Then, Mu Qingming, who had paused, turned his head to look at Zhu San and said, "I came to you to ask you to take me to find a thief surnamed Zhang, who understands the skill of 'looking, hearing, asking, and cutting' in the thief." ”。

The woman's Wan Fu Ceremony action came to mind, and she secretly wondered in her heart: "Where did this Zhu San kidnap such a lady who knows etiquette?" ”。

"Zhang Xiaosheng?" Mu Qingming only said that his surname was Zhang, he was a thief and knew how to look and hear, Zhu San immediately knew who it was? But when the incident happened suddenly, he was curious, and couldn't help asking: "Why did you think of looking for this kid?" ”。

"Ask him to sell some gadgets." Mu Qingming replied lightly.

Will Zhu San take Mu Qingming to find the little thief? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.

[Tongcheng Gang of Suolongren Small Theater - In the old Kunming City, the ceramic business was all Tongcheng people from Anhui. They have formed gangs in the city, but they have nothing to do with the underworld, but they are the same as the horse gang and the salt gang, they are all doing legitimate business. The Tongcheng Gang bought and sold ceramics and porcelain. 】
