Chapter 50: The Ghost Merchant
Jiuzhen Hall, the building is towering and majestic. I heard that drinking a cup of tea here costs most of the income of ordinary people, which is worthy of being the most luxurious place in the martial arts. Lang Yuan thought that the silver taels he brought on his body must not be enough, otherwise he would have to take a good look and pick a suitable ornament.
"Girl, please!" The little girl greeted warmly as always, "Girl, are you drinking tea or listening to a play?" Or if there's something you want, just ask! Lang Yuan came here to do things against time, and he didn't talk nonsense: "I'm looking for Boss Jin!" The little guy frowned slightly when he heard this, what kind of identity is Boss Jin, how can ordinary people see it if they want to see it? With a wry smile: "Presumably the girl is the first time to come to Jiuzhen Hall, I don't know our rules here......" Lang Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly presented a silver coin, made of sterling silver, with a cross meniscus mark engraved on both sides.
The hint was obvious enough, but the little guy didn't know Taishan, and snorted: "Don't say that a silver coin is just a silver coin, even if it is ten gold coins, it is difficult to reach Boss Jin." Girl, please come back, right? "This is the iconic object of the Ten Thieves, and the little guy has no eyesight. Looking around, there are a total of six floors, each with its own main business. Dry goods on the first floor, pharmacy on the second floor, restaurant restaurant on the third floor, ready-to-wear shop on the fourth floor, rouge shop on the fifth floor, treasure shop on the sixth floor, the entire Jiuzhen Hall is readily available, but it is impossible for Boss Jin to stay in a certain shop.
Looking at the whole building, only the central hanging tower is the most mysterious, and the setting is the most strange. The whole room floats in the air, all suspended by the surrounding gold chains, and there is no staircase directly connected, so it is not easy to go up and down on weekdays! If you don't have peerless light skills, I'm afraid you won't be able to set foot on it. Thinking that Jin Guanzhong lives here, Lang Yuan's index finger is catapulted, and the silver coin is flying and echoing, and it is undoubtedly entering the air pavilion.
"Girl, you're not a good person, are you? Want to make trouble in Jiuzhen Hall? The little guy raised his arm high, and once he gave the order, he could blast Lang Yuan out of the door. When the arm was about to fall, a warm male voice was heard: "It turned out that it was a distinguished guest, why don't you go upstairs for a gathering?" Boss Jin spoke, and the little girl was frightened, and apologized again and again: "It turned out to be the boss's guest, forgive the little one, and I hope the girl will forgive me!" You're at your own convenience. "The attitude has turned 360 degrees, so the way of this world is always determined by relationships.
"Brother Jin, your pavilion is unattainable, and there are no stairs, my little sister is afraid that she won't be able to go up if her martial arts are not good, so please ask Brother Jin to deign and go downstairs to see you." Since people are playing music, how can Lang Yuan fall into the wind. Five stories away from the attic, he still spoke in an ordinary voice, but sentences came into Jin Guanzhong's ears. Jin Guanzhong picked up the teacup and said secretly: What a powerful voice into the soul Dafa. Even if Lang Yuan doesn't show her skills, she is still qualified to enter the pavilion in the air, which only confirms her qualifications even more.
"With your ability, I'm afraid that my attic is built on the Nine Heavens, and you have a way to go up there. Or just send a staircase. A pile of tissue paper fell like heavy snow, and Lang Yuan accepted it calmly, and stepped on the thin paper on his toes to successfully climb the pavilion. Originally, with "Feiyan stepping on the air", you can also climb to the top with your feet stepping on each other, but it is more laborious, and there is an easier way, of course, you can choose easy.
"Brother Jin's Jiuzhen Hall is full of splendor, and it is rare to have such a simple and elegant place." The whole house is furnished with nothing more than bookshelves, bookcases and tea tables and couches, and there is nothing special about it. If you have to find something special, it is that the materials are of the highest quality. "Hearing the spicy flower brother Jin scared me into a cold sweat. I think I'm pretty handsome, how dare I be your brother? "Boss Jin has never had a relationship with Langyuan, and he doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but he is not busy inquiring, and it is not bad to ridicul and kill time.
"My little sister already wears little clothes, why does my brother still talk about the wind and cold? Don't cold. "For Boss Jin, Lang Yuan knows very little, whether his personality is as rumored to be, and it still needs to be tested? She was originally called "Brother Jin", but she changed her mouth to "brother". Lang Yuan naturally doesn't mind recognizing this brother, he is still rich and rivals the country!
"The more you scream, the more you kiss, how can I be embarrassed not to recognize you as a little sister?" Jin Guanzhong chuckled again and again, this Lang Yuan is really interesting, good tea has been prepared, just wait for her to take a seat, "The young grandmother of Fulong Villa is still used to it?" Why are you free to come to me today? "Lang Yuan is not welcome, sit down and drink it all in one gulp, his good tea is hard to find, wouldn't it be in vain to drink a few more sips?" Don't mention it, Mrs. Shi is not easy to deal with! It didn't take a few days to be exposed. This time, I came to see my brother because I had a business to discuss with my brother. ”
Jin Guanzhong's hand trembled, and he pretended to be shocked and said: "Sister, you are doing a man's business, and it is not good for your brother, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do business with you!" "I don't know why, I also ridiculed that I was addicted. Lang Yuan was embarrassed and sighed: "Isn't this a little sister who has a lot of business?" It is not easy not only to maintain a bad reputation, to be a good thief of the top ten thieves, but also to run a miracle doctor who rescues the suffering, and to run a small inn to make money to make a living. ”
"Isn't it a spicy flower that dares to come to me? The loss of your silver coin, which symbolizes the identity of the ten evil thieves, has misled me. What kind of big business is it? "It's almost time for the appetizing drama to end, and it's better to get straight to the point. Lang Yuan took another sip of tea, and said seriously: "The world has always had a doubt, why has Jiuzhentang never seen six major characteristics? When I came here today, I kind of understood. There are also three treasures that are the ghost merchant and his news and relationship. The little sister was treating an injured patient recently, but she lacked the medicine guide of the 'Ice Blood Jade Medicine Flower', and she searched for it to no avail, so she had to come to her brother to ask. ”
"No wonder Rakshasa didn't go along." Jin Guanzhong broke through the mystery in one sentence. The ten thieves have always acted alone and basically don't know each other, but it is rare that the prostitute hot flower and the blood shadow rakshasa can be called sisters. smiled again, "Sister is full of fists, this is our first transaction, and my brother is naturally willing to take over this business." It's just that I heard that sister, you have always cherished money like your life, and you must compare the baht, I don't know what price you plan to offer? ”
If Boss Jin is willing to talk, it must not be a matter of money, he has money. It's better to find out what he wants: "Brother is full of gold and jade, and the little sister really doesn't know what price to offer, so it's better to ask the brother to say the price first, so that the little sister can think about how to bargain!" "Lang Yuan is shrewd and knows how to retreat. It's been so many years, and Jin Guanzhong hasn't talked about business so happily for a long time. "I don't have the 'Ice Blood Jade Medicinal Flower' in my Nine Treasures Hall, but I know where to find it. The price of a message is intangible, so why don't we exchange a message each? ”
Boss Jin never loses money in business, and this time it is estimated that Langyuan will have to spend money. And Sang Nuanyu was on her, but Jin Guanzhong didn't ask for this treasure like the people in the rivers and lakes. "What news is there that my brother doesn't know, but my little sister knows?" Jiuzhentang is known as a know-it-all in the rivers and lakes, and Lang Yuan really can't think of what news he wants to change. "Of course there is, you can even know the birthmark on the Yin Feng Gongzi, and naturally there is a lot of news that you don't know about me." Hearing him say this, Lang Yuan had a vague bad premonition.
For the sake of the shadow, only seize this opportunity: "Brother, please speak!" "I just need a clue, a new clue about Lang Huan's treasure." As soon as these words came out, Lang Yuan had to admire him. Things are dead things, today is their own, tomorrow may not be known, but once the news is hidden in the heart, it cannot be taken away, and the ability of the ghost merchant to talk about business is considered to be seen today. The news of Sang Nuanyu and Tianhe Star Chart is outdated, and it is still a bit delicious to stir-fry cold rice, but it can't withstand a few tosses. If you don't have a new lead, what if you get it?
"Shaolin Temple has a copy of the Bayeux Zen Sutra, which has the answer you want." Shaolin masters are like clouds, and it is difficult to bring out the "Bayeux Zen Sutra". Even if you know, what can you do? Jin Guanzhong didn't have anything else, he accepted it calmly, pinched his cup and said with a smile: "There is a 'Ice Blood Jade Medicinal Flower' in the Mirror Moon Sect's Shenyang Temple. "After a long time, I still have to go to the Shenyang Temple, but the ridiculous thing is that it is not as difficult as stealing the "Ice Blood Jade Medicine Flower" from the Shenyang Temple than stealing the "Baye Leaf Zen Sutra" from the Shaolin Temple? In this respect, the news is quite fair.
Lang Yuan got up and wanted to leave, but Jin Guanzhong gave a message: "Recently, Chunfeng Yuan is recruiting maids and intends to send them to Shenyang Palace. "Jiuzhentang is only a few streets away from Chunfeng Garden, even if he doesn't say Langyuan, he can find out, but it saves her a lot of time. This business was obviously made by him, but Lang Yuan was very comfortable in his heart, and he felt that he had no loss. Before leaving, he took another sip of tea: "Thank you!" The window creaked, and there was no trace, and the sky fell silent again. Jin Guanzhong tasted the last sip of tea and smiled silently, believing that there would be business to discuss in the future.
Chunfeng Yuan was originally a little-known brothel, but someone bought it seven years ago and started working in an embroidery workshop. The new boss Lian Hongchen personally taught the craft, and his reputation has also been played out in recent years, and the embroidery of Chunfeng Garden must be a fine product. On the surface, it's like this, but secretly as one of the five palaces and nine divisions of the Demon Sect, it is unknown what he does. In one day, meeting two thieves is quite exciting to think about.
Lian Hongchen originally went back to the room to rest for a while, but unexpectedly an uninvited guest came. "The gentleman is frank, why should Your Excellency be the timid gentleman on the beam?" Lang Yuan didn't plan to hide Lian Hongchen, she could come in and ask her to help in a grand manner, so she naturally held the chips in her hand. Who knew that Lian Hongchen saw that it was Lang Yuan, and suddenly shot before she could speak, and the red thread flew silk, as if she was going to embroider on someone. Lang Yuan's golden needles are accumulated,-for-tat, sparks are splashed, embroidery needles are all nailed to the wooden stakes, and Lang Yuan himself stands lightly on the red line.
"After a long absence, the martial arts of Lahua have made rapid progress!" "Golden Needle Crossing Acupoint" practice Hongchen has already seen it, but I didn't expect her light skills to be so clever, pulling the red line end but not feeling Lang Yuan's weight at all. "Hongchen praises it!" No matter what her strength is, Lian Hongchen will definitely make her come today, and she can't leave. What the Five Elements Palace can't do, she can do it easily in Chunfeng Garden, and it depends on her intentions. Practicing the red dust to collect the line, Lang Yuan did not fall immediately, but fell gently like tissue paper. Although this person is only ranked eighth among the top ten evil thieves, and his martial arts are clearly above the Yin Wind Ghost Mother and the Unprecepted Monk, it is no wonder that the Five Elements Protector has repeatedly failed.
"This sect is worried about how to capture the prostitution matchmaker, but you have the leisure to come to me and give me a cheap one for nothing." The so-called acquisition is not a matter of effort. "I was passing by here, and I heard that Hongchen intended to send a group of newcomers to the Shenyang Temple, so didn't he have the cheekiness to apply? With my beauty and temperament, it shouldn't be a problem. "I couldn't see Lian Hongchen clearly before, but today I saw that it was really beautiful. Lang Yuan is surrounded by beautiful people, if it weren't for overconfidence, he would have been overshadowed and listless by others.
It is no secret that the Jingyue Sect arrested Lang Yuan, and it stands to reason that she would not be able to avoid it, but instead she threw herself into the net, and Lian Hongchen couldn't figure out what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd. "What are you doing in the Shenyang Temple? What is the intention? "Lang Yuan has always been cunning, and he must have a plan.
"It doesn't matter what my intentions are, you just send me to the Shenyang Temple. I know that Hongchen has always been gracious, so I will ask you for this favor. The more Lian Hongchen listened, the more confused she became, she didn't remember that she had an intersection with Lang Yuan, and even if she did, she had a deep hatred.
If it weren't for Shi Jingchen talking about Lian Hongchen's "three-step dream", how could Lang Yuan think of Yan Sanniang, and then think that Lian Hongchen was also the old man of the year. Seeing that she was confused, Lang Yuan kindly reminded: "Have you forgotten who sent you the 'Three-Step Life Dream' to protect your innocence?" ”
"You are?" Lian Hongchen is incredible, looking at Lang Yuan and looking at it, his thoughts are ethereal, and he returns to twelve years ago. Lian Hongchen was originally an orphan girl, nameless and surnameless, adopted by the master of the acrobatic troupe, just because she was wearing red clothes when she was picked up, the master called her Xiaohong. Running south and north to the rivers and lakes, life is finally good. When she was thirteen years old, the master died, and the acrobatic troupe fell apart. The bustard's mother's name is Yan Sansanniang, who is a well-known prostitute and is nicknamed "Spicy Hand Destroying Flowers". Lian Hongchen has always been disobedient to discipline, and every time he has to rely on death to escape the clutches of men, naturally he is beaten. Day after day, she was finally caught in the gap and fled in a hurry.
Yan Sanniang found out in time and led the two turtles to chase after her. Lian Hongchen was already scarred, and the bustard mothers caught up in time, and they were caught up after a while. I heard the turtle man shouting, "Hurry up, where is she!" In desperation, Lian Hongchen had no choice but to hide in the tea house. At that time, Lang Yuan and Shen Aoxue had just come down the mountain and were resting in the tea house.
"Sister, what are you hiding here?" Lang Yuan didn't know, and asked curiously, which completely exposed Lian Hongchen. "Okay, you little! Dare to hide? See where you can run! Yan Shisanniang stretched out her hand and waved, and the two turtle males immediately stepped forward to arrest them. Lian Hongchen's brain is flexible, and when he saw Shen Aoxue's long sword branching ground, he must be a person who learns martial arts, so he couldn't care about it, grabbed her hand, and called for help repeatedly!
Shen Aoxue rarely went down the mountain, and was fostered in the Guanyin Temple since he was a child. When she was young, the Shen couple went to visit her in the purple bamboo forest during the New Year's holiday, and she learned a lot of skills over the years, and she was already twenty-eight years old, so she naturally dared to go home alone. She has always been jealous and hateful, and when she saw injustice, of course she chose to draw a knife to help. "Didn't you hear she didn't want to go with you? In broad daylight, can you still rob people's daughters? ”
