Chapter 57: Preparing to Go
After returning from the Yuxian Temple, it was not early. As soon as Lao Chen and Chen's sister-in-law came back, they began to prepare dinner. While eating, Old Man Xiao looked at me and said, "Boy, now that we have successfully obtained the centipede beads, the Jiang family's test of our strength should also be over." The head of the Jiang family is still at a critical juncture of life and death, so let's not waste time. Let's go back to Zilanxuan tomorrow morning! It's time to go. ”
"Good! But I really don't know much about this Jiang family, you can introduce it to me! I put down the chopsticks in my hand and looked at Old Man Xiao.
"Since you kid wants to hear it, then I'll give you a good introduction! It doesn't hurt to get to know some early. Old man Xiao also put down the chopsticks in his hand.
I handed Old Man Xiao a cigarette and sat down at the table.
Old man Xiao lit a cigarette and looked at me, and then began to say in detail: "This Jiang family is the largest family in Tainan City, and controls the antique industry and real estate development industry in the entire Tainan City. Of course, their strength is very huge, and they belong to the kind of black and white that eats all.
Jiang Tianyu, the former patriarch of the Jiang family, was a grave-digging and grave-digging Tufuzi, who started from scratch by doing some small antique business, and later the business became bigger and bigger, and Jiang Tianyu, the first head of the Jiang family, also changed from a Tufuzi to an antique dealer.
The Jiang family was originally prosperous, and under the leadership of the patriarch Jiang Tianyu, their antique business has reached the whole world. Because in recent years, the state has cracked down on the illegal trade in antiques, so they have entered the real estate industry again. It can be said that at least more than 80 percent of the real estate development in Tainan City is owned by the Jiang family. Now you should understand how rich their financial strength is, right? Old man Xiao looked at me and smiled after speaking.
"Indeed, buying and selling antiques is a lucrative transaction, and there is an old saying that if you don't open for three years, you will eat for three years. That's not bad at all. I said with some envy.
"In addition to buying and selling antiques, they will also mix in some heavenly and earthly treasures and inner pills, and even the legendary big and evil things that everyone talks about, as long as they can make money, they will do it. Therefore, they were also very close to those evil mages in Nanyang who cultivated the Descending Gu Technique. However, this time, the five poisonous corpses in the Jiang family patriarch may have been offended by business. However, no one has ever been able to successfully solve this Five Poison Corpse Oil Drop, because it has no solution at all. Most of the people who fell in the middle were dead. I don't know where the Jiang family learned that the Water Spirit Pill can detoxify the five poisons and corpse oil, so they found me, hoping that I could help. I'm just a bull-nosed veteran, where do I have the ability to find the water elixir to cure the five poisons corpse oil! Fortunately, the current patriarch of the Jiang family and your master also know each other, and they still broke through the sea eye of the Beihai Sea together, because there was an ancient murderous tomb in the sea eye. Both of them almost broke in it that time, but they survived in the end. So I introduced your master to the Jiang family this time, and the Jiang family agreed without saying a word. After all, looking for a treasure like the Water Spirit Pill is only the most suitable for you mountain walkers from the Mountain Walking Sect. I'll give you advice in the back, hehe! Old man Xiao laughed out loud after speaking.
"Oh! No wonder they are willing to trade a piece of rubbings that record the way of immortality, it seems that they know our mountain sect very well! I said self-deprecatingly.
After the meal, I sat down for a while and then went back to my room to rest. And Old Man Xiao sat in the courtyard and chatted very hotly with Lao Chen and his wife.
Lying in bed, I couldn't sleep at night, smoking cigarette after cigarette. Soon, the floor next to the bed was full of cigarette butts.
There was an indescribable feeling in my heart, maybe because of excitement, maybe because of nervousness.
After all, the Mountain Walking Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and it has also been searching for thousands of years for the way of immortality. I am about to find some clues in the hands of my generation of mountain walkers to record the way of immortality. Master will be very happy too! It's just that you have to find the legendary water elixir to cure the Jiang family patriarch, and then you can get the rubbings that record the way of immortality, no matter what! I've got to do it.
Thinking about it, I gradually fell asleep and had a very dangerous dream.
In my dream, I was standing on a high mountain cliff, and at my feet was the endless waves of the earth, but the endless water was actually reddish. And there was a huge island swimming towards me in the water, and this dream was the second time I had dreamed of it.
Early the next morning, Old Man Xiao and I had some breakfast at Lao Chen's house, and then said goodbye to Lao Chen and his wife and embarked on the road back to Zilanxuan.
When I came a few days ago, it was muddy because of the steep mountain road. So I parked my motorcycle next to a wooden shed on the side of the road, and luckily the motorcycle was still parked intact.
Hop on the motorcycle and drive the old man Xiao slowly to the city, the morning sun spilling through the dense woods on the mountain road. Various birds in the woods on both sides are singing.
"The early bird gets the worm!" Old man Xiao closed his eyes and listened to the bird's call and let out a sigh.
"The early worms are eaten by the birds, hehe." I replied to Old Man Xiao with a wicked smile.
Old man Xiao's face was flushed with anger: "Okay, you stinky boy, you are specifically against me, aren't you?" This time I went to Tainan, believe it or not, I sold you. ”
"Hey, hey! Sell me? Absolutely! As long as you take care of food and shelter, you have to manage cigarettes. Besides, I'm still a single dog, what if the person who bought me has a daughter at home? I still smiled evilly at Old Man Xiao.
"I said that you kid only thinks of good things, and your cheeky kung fu is exactly the same as that old ghost of your master. No, you are even more brazen than your master. Sure enough, it is a famous teacher and a high apprentice! Old man Xiao shook his head helplessly.
talked and laughed all the way, and finally returned to Zilanxuan Teahouse. I parked my motorcycle in the parking lot in front of the teahouse, and then followed Old Man Xiao into the gate of Zilanxuan.
The waiter who was cleaning the glass at the counter saw Old Man Xiao and immediately greeted him respectfully: "Mr. Xiao, good morning!"
Old man Xiao nodded and asked, "Xiaoli, where is Ah Hong?" Are you busy again? The waiter named Xiaoli nodded: "Yes, Mr. Xiao." Sister Hong is upstairs and will personally clean up your room! ”
"Ah Hong knows we'll be back today?" Old man Xiao looked at the waiter named Xiaoli with some curiosity.
"I don't know about this, you won't be here these days anyway. Sister Hong will go upstairs every day to clean up your room, just so that you can go directly to rest when you come back. After Xiaoli finished speaking, she began to wipe the glass on the counter again.
"Mr. Xiao, Brother Wang, are you back? Did you eat breakfast? If you don't eat it, I'll arrange for someone to do it right away. I'm ready to send you straight to your room. The room is already cleaned up, you can go and rest first. Sister Hong walked down the stairs with a quilt in her arms, and when she saw me and Mr. Xiao standing in the hall, she shouted with a smile.
"Ah Hong, thank you for your hard work." Old man Xiao looked at Sister Hong excitedly, and he was a little nervous when he spoke excitedly.
I smiled: "Old Xiao! Why did you see Sister Hong, and she couldn't speak? Sister Hong won't eat you again. ”
"What do you know, stinky boy, hurry up and go back and clean up. We left for Tainan after lunch. Old man Xiao shouted at me with an embarrassed expression. Sister Hong, who was standing on the stairs, blushed, hurriedly lowered her head and walked towards me with the quilt in her arms, and after glaring at Old Man Xiao, she walked into the warehouse.
