Chapter One Hundred and Seven: Seeing Yu Culture and
I have to say that the service of this restaurant is still good, and the taste of the dishes is also good.
It's just that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at Dongfang Sheng's expression and were a little surprised, because although Dongfang Sheng ate in an orderly manner, he didn't eat slowly, and the amount of food he ate was several times that of the two of them.
After Dongfang Sheng's physical breakthrough to the Great Grandmaster, the demand for food is also much greater, although there are a lot of meals in one meal, such as this one, Dongfang Sheng alone eats the amount of thirty people, but after eating this meal, Dongfang Sheng can not eat for at least seven days.
Kou Zhong saw Dongfang Sheng finish his last bite of food and asked, "Master, have you eaten enough?" ”
Dongfang Sheng: "It's almost, there is a seven-point full." ”
"Seven points full...... Xu Ziling looked at the plates on the big table and was speechless.
"Little Er, check out!"
When the shopkeeper heard Dongfang Sheng's shout, he quickly ran over, came to Dongfang Sheng's side and said, "This son, hello, a total of three hundred and twenty-five taels, three hundred and twenty taels will be accepted from you." ”
He guessed that Dongfang Sheng was not simple when he saw Dongfang Sheng and the three of them come in just now, and when he saw Dongfang Sheng's appetite at this time, he was even more convinced of his own guess.
Kou Zhong Xu Ziling also knew that the two gangsters under the boss of Yangzhou Yan had been beaten up when they were collecting protection money for people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
So he also knew who to ask for this money, and looked at Dongfang Sheng.
Dongfang Sheng looked at Kou Zhong and said, "Pay the money!" ”
Kou Zhong was stunned, shook his head and said, "So many, I don't have it!" ”
Dongfang Sheng didn't care, thinking that the money was in Xu Ziling, so he looked at Xu Ziling.
Xu Ziling's face was also bitter, and he shook his head, indicating that he had no money.
The breeze on Dongfang Sheng's face under the mask faded, and the shopkeeper's face was not good-looking.
Dongfang Sheng: "How much did you spend on this dress?" Saying that, Dongfang Sheng couldn't help but touch his clothes, it was an ordinary material, and there was no gold thread or anything in it, as for the workmanship, it was also average, no matter how expensive it was, twenty taels would be dead.
Kou Zhong: "Ten taels!" ”
Dongfang Sheng: "What about the rest of the money?" ”
"Here!"
"Here!"
Kou Zhong took out all the money, Dongfang Sheng looked at the ten taels of silver and some copper coins on the table, looked at Kou Zhong and asked faintly, "How much money did you pay for Yu Pei?" ”
When Kou Zhong heard this, he knew that he was too little, so he whispered: "Twenty taels!" ”
Dongfang Sheng didn't ask whether it was gold or silver, and he knew that it was silver when he looked at the situation.
Xu Ziling: "Master, how much is your jade pendant worth?" ”
Dongfang Sheng: "Not much, one thousand taels...... Gold! ”
"Oops......" When Kou Zhong heard a thousand taels, he felt a pain in his heart and let out a miserable scream.
When he heard the gold again, he fell directly from the chair, squatted on the ground, and made a "clang" sound.
Kou Zhong stood up with his buttocks covered, and said with a smile: "Master, I really didn't lie to you, that guy only gave me twenty taels of silver!" ”
"I believe you, after all, I said that no matter how much is left, it will be yours!"
Hearing Dongfang Sheng's words, Kou Zhong's heart hurt even more, and he grinned in pain.
"Three, what should I do with this money?" The tone of the shopkeeper at this time was no longer as kind as just now.
Dongfang Sheng: "You call your boss, you can't handle it here, I'll talk to your boss." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly went downstairs and called the shopkeeper up.
The shopkeeper was not a martial arts practitioner, he was a middle-aged man in his forties, he listened to the words of the shopkeeper, came to the stairs and came out, looking at the amazing empty plates on the table, and the dress of Dongfang Sheng and the three of them.
After only one glance, the shopkeeper ignored Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
Although Dongfang Sheng is dressed ordinarily and still wears a mask, he still has eyesight after so many years of seeing that his restaurant is either rich or expensive.
After seeing that Dongfang Sheng was not simple, he let the thug behind him go back, walked to Dongfang Sheng's side, and arched his hand at Dongfang Sheng: "Below is Wu Yong, the shopkeeper of this family, I don't know the name of Gongzi's surname?" ”
"Dongfang Sheng!"
The shopkeeper heard Dongfang Sheng's name, and began to think in his mind, he had never heard of this name, and he had never heard of the Dongfang family anywhere.
Seeing that the shopkeeper was thinking, Dongfang Sheng knew that he was thinking about his origin again, Dongfang Sheng didn't want to waste time, so he said bluntly: "Shopkeeper, I don't have money to pay the bill today, I'll give you two choices." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard it, why are you so stubborn when you don't have the money to pay the bill, shouldn't I give you two choices.
However, he couldn't figure out where Dongfang Sheng came from, so the shopkeeper still asked with a kind face: "I don't know which two choices are there?" ”
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also lowered their heads and listened seriously, and he also wanted to know what his master guild would say.
"First, I'll take people away directly, can you stop it, it depends on your ability!"
The shopkeeper was still smiling, his expression did not change, and he wanted to know what Dongfang Sheng's second was.
"Second, I will send this money in the future, and if you meet someone from the Dugu family in the future, I will give you a good word."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression was not calm, because this is the property of the Dugu family of the four major gates, and few people know about it, but those who know it are not ordinary people.
As soon as he heard Dongfang Sheng's words, the shopkeeper said: "Little Er, go and get another thousand taels of silver for the three sons!" ”
The shopkeeper downstairs heard this, but he was stunned, and then immediately went to get the money, and he was glad that he didn't mess around.
The other people in the inn couldn't help but be stunned when they heard it, they originally wanted to see what would happen to Dongfang Sheng and them eating the "overlord meal", but they didn't expect Dongfang Sheng's words to let the boss shout to send another thousand taels of silver.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were also shocked by Dongfang Sheng's operation, and said in his heart: "This is too good*!" ”
The innkeeper also has his own abacus, this time even if he meets someone unladylike, he only wasted more than a thousand taels of silver, more than a thousand taels of silver is a lot, but if it can really be exchanged for a chance to rise, blood earns.
If you lose, then next time you will be greedy for an extra 1,000 taels from the account and make up for it.
Dongfang Sheng stood up and said with a smile: "This seat is a talk, let's go!" ”
The innkeeper took the silver ticket from the shopkeeper and said, "Childe, I invited this meal, so I should give it to us...... Make a friend at home, and you also have this silver ticket in case you need it. ”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper handed the silver ticket to Kou Zhong with a very eye-catching eye, and Kou Zhong held the silver ticket in one hand, while looking at Dongfang Sheng, waiting for Dongfang Sheng to speak.
Dongfang Sheng said in his heart: "You have taken all the money, and it depends on what I do!" "Don't speak, just leave.
The shopkeeper is naturally also a human spirit, and when Kou Zhong took the silver ticket, he let go.
Seeing the three of them leave, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Master, where are we going now?" Out of the restaurant, Kou Zhong asked.
"On the outskirts of the city!"
……
Due to the unquiet in the world, thieves and thieves are everywhere, and everyone is in danger, and the first thing to prosper is more than a dozen martial arts halls and dojos in the city.
In terms of scale and prestige, the first recommendation is the Shilong martial arts field founded by Shi Long, the first master of Yangzhou.
In the past ten years, Shi Long has rarely come to the venue to manage affairs, and all the business is taken care of by his disciples, but because his name is hung on the martial arts field, people from near and far are still on the way.
Shilong's internal and external skills have reached the realm of first-rate masters, otherwise how can he be famous for decades.
This person has a good nature, celibate and does not marry, lives alone in a small village on the outskirts of the city, does not leave the house, and regularly sends people to send the necessary daily necessities by the apprentices, and buries himself in studying and playing the unfathomable Taoist secret book "The Secret of Longevity" all day long.
This "Recipe for Eternal Life" according to the oral tradition of the past dynasties, this book comes from the ancient Yellow Emperor's teacher Guangchengzi, written in oracle bone inscription, esoteric and difficult to understand, the sages have read this book, although there is no lack of wisdom through the heavens, but no one has ever been able to understand and decipher the whole book. There are 7,400 glyphs in the book, but only about 3,000 glyphs have been deciphered.
The book is also densely covered with annotations from people who have read the book, but because of their different opinions, they are often more confusing than the original text.
Fortunately, there are seven humanoid figures in the book, none of which are oriented towards each other, and are guided by various symbols such as red dots, arrows, etc., as if they are describing a certain method of cultivation, but those who do not understand its meaning can not practice, if they reluctantly follow one of the symbols to urge the internal qi, the qi and blood will immediately churn, and then they will go mad, and the danger is extreme.
……………………
Dongfang Sheng, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were dressed in white, came to the suburb of Shi Long's residence, Shi Long, who was meditating in the house, suddenly had an alarm in his heart, and hurriedly took the treasure book into his arms, listening to the footsteps outside, he breathed a sigh of relief, two ordinary people, it is estimated that they are apprentices again, so they shouted in the room: "I don't accept apprentices anymore, you have to go to learn art, go to the dojo!" ”
Dongfang Sheng glanced at Xu Ziling, and Xu Ziling said: "The younger generation is not apprenticed, and today I came to meet the Taoist master with the master." ”
When Shi Long heard this, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, what kind of apprentice and master did the two ordinary people have, but soon his expression became solemn.
Because he remembered the warning in his heart just now, he got up and opened the door, and Shi Long was stunned.
There were not two people outside the door, but three people, Shi Long looked at Dongfang Sheng, and naturally knew what this meant, which showed that the martial arts of this masked person were much higher than him, the grandmaster or the great grandmaster?
Shi Long suppressed the suspicion in his heart and said, "When the distinguished guest comes, please come in and taste a cup of tea!" ”
Dongfang Sheng was not polite, and led Kou Zhong and the others directly in.
Seeing that Shi Long really wanted to make tea, Dongfang Sheng didn't stop him, because Shi Long was the only one here, so Shi Long could only make tea himself.
Shi Long finished making tea and said, "I have neglected the distinguished guest, please forgive me, I don't know what the distinguished guest is doing when he comes to my humble house?" ”
Dongfang Sheng took a sip of tea, looked at Shi Long and said, "You know it in your heart, but you just don't want to admit it." ”
As soon as Shi Long heard Dongfang Sheng's words, he knew that the other party was indeed as he guessed, and he came for the "Recipe for Longevity".
Shi Long was just about to say something, but suddenly heard a dry cough from outside the door, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
Here a great god that he can't figure out has not been sent away, and another great god has come.
Shi Long: "Please come in!" ”
The person who came pushed the door open, and he walked in slowly, Dongfang Sheng continued to drink tea, he didn't need to look at it to know who the person was coming, the little guy of the Yuwen family - Yu Wenhua and.
Yu Wenhua and came in, looked at the inscription of the Shilong hall, and said: "Da is to help the world, poor is self-reliant, Brother Shi is really wishful thinking, this kind of advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, how can you make a peace of mind explanation for your own behavior, I Yu culture and admiration." “
Shi Long listened and said lightly: "It turns out that he is one of the outstanding masters of Yuwen Valve, one of the four surnamed gate valves today, isn't Brother Yuwen busy waiting for the saint?" Why is there such a leisure to visit us and other outsiders? ”
Now he can only hope that Yu Wenhua and Dongfang Sheng will fight, and then take the opportunity to slip away.
Yu Wenhua and behind his negative hands, he walked into the hall like a walk, and saw the scene in the hall, Yu Wenhua and his face froze, he just thought that there were three people in the hall, but there were obviously four people here, looking at Dongfang Sheng who was drinking tea with his head down, Yu Wenhua and his heart said: This is not easy to do.
Dongfang Sheng wore a mask, only revealing a pair of eyes and a mouth, Yu Wenhua couldn't see him clearly, so he naturally couldn't recognize who he was, but since Dongfang Sheng could hide his induction, in addition to being good at constricting his breath, the other party's ability was not under him.
As for the strength of Dongfang Sheng's great grandmaster, Yu Wenhua never thought about it, after all, there were only a few great grandmasters over the years, and those people were not dressed like Dongfang Sheng.
Yu Wenhua and: "It's not that Brother Shi is tired, you have obtained the envy of the cultivators, but you don't offer it to the saint, which makes him displeased. By the way, I still don't know who these friends are Brother Shi? “
Shi Long looked at Dongfang Sheng, and suddenly thought that he didn't know his name.
Dongfang Sheng put down the teacup and said, "Dongfang Sheng! ”
Yu Wenhua heard Dongfang Sheng's name, his face changed slightly, and he remembered someone.
That person used to often appear next to Yang Guang, Yang Guang called him Mr. Dongfang, what his full name was, he didn't know, but that person's strength was very high, and he was suspected of being a great grandmaster, but five years ago, that person suddenly disappeared and disappeared, and they Yuwen also inquired about that person for five years.
So as soon as I heard the word Oriental, Yu Wenhua and the first thing that came to mind was whether this person was related to that person.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were also looking at Yu Wenhua, and they had also heard of Yu Wenhua's name, which was an existence that made them look up.
Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, one of the characteristics is that the powerful clan developed by generations of noble families, some are called Gaomen or Gate Valve, which are clearly distinguished from the Shu clan of ordinary people.
Even if the imperial examination system is widely opened, but the gate valve is still unwielding, the four surnames of the famous Jianghu are referring to the four powerful families surnamed Yuwen, Li, Dugu and Song, who have huge influence in politics, economy and martial arts.
Among the four surnames, only the Song surname belongs to the southern wang clan, insisting on the authentic Han blood. The other three surnames, because they are located in the north, are quite deep. The surname Yuwen itself is a Hu person, but it has been integrated into the culture of Middle-earth and is not regarded as an outsider.
Yu Wenhua in the Yuwen valve and as the head of the Sui Yang Emperor's guards are the most well-known people in the rivers and lakes, it is said that he is the first person to practice the family secret skill 'Bing Xuanjin' after Yuwen's injury, I can't imagine that the appearance is so young, no matter how you look at it, he is only thirty years old.
I wanted to compare him with my own teacher, and found that my master was far superior to each other in terms of bearing and appearance, and he was honored.
Yu Wenhua: "Fortunately, I don't know what happened to Your Excellency? "It's as if Yu Wenhua is the owner of this place.
"Xiaoling, show what I just gave you to Chief Yuwen!"
"Ah...... Oh! Xu Ziling couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, because what Dongfang Sheng gave him was a token.
Originally, the token was a mysterious thing representing power, but the problem was that the token that Dongfang Sheng gave him was carved out of wood in front of him and Kou Zhong on the road just now.
Xu Ziling couldn't figure out who was there, what could a token carved by his master make a dignified court manager.
However, thinking of the extraordinary nature of his master, Xu Ziling still took out the token and handed it to Yu Wenhua.
Yu Wenhua took it and looked at the token in his hand, which was made of wood, but what surprised him was the style of the token.
