Chapter XXVII

This question is not difficult, Jiang Mubai quickly gave an answer: "That elder of the Zhige Sect wants to protect him, so he told him in public to wait in Chongdao Hall this morning." It is natural for the Zhige faction to protect an inner disciple, and to protect an outer disciple who runs errands will hurt the face of the Ye family, which is to show their attitude and give the Ye family a step down. ”

"That's right." Xu Qiansuan stroked his palms and nodded, "I asked someone to inquire last night, and you are a target master in the Juying Pavilion, this is your best strategy." The status of the owner of the Juying Pavilion in Dingwu City was half a step higher than that of Linghu Qianjue, and he was on an equal footing with the head of Zhige Pailei. ”

Strictly speaking, a part-time target artist cannot be counted as a subordinate of Juyingkan. Combined with Xu Qiansuan's question, Jiang Mubai figured out that the best strategy was to try to worship under the door of the Juying Pavilion. If Jiang Mubai became a personal disciple under the name of the owner of the Qiu Pavilion, as long as the signboard of the Juying Pavilion did not fall for a day, even if the second generation of the Ye family gritted his teeth with hatred, he would not be able to retaliate against him.

However, according to Liu Longhu, the owner of the Qiu Pavilion has only accepted three personal disciples, the senior brother Shi Shan, the second senior brother Shi Guangwen, and the third junior brother, who was unfortunately killed when he traveled a few years ago. Except for these three who entered the inner gate, the rest of the gray-clothed disciples were all registered disciples of the outer gate, but they were only nominal disciples and were not officially recognized.

"Do you think the Qiu Pavilion Master will accept me as an entry?" Jiang Mubai asked.

Xu Qiansuan saw Jiang Mubai's suspicion on his face, so he explained: "It is rumored that the senior brother of Juyingguan, Shi Shan, has a stubborn personality and does not understand the world, and the second senior brother Shi Guangwen has a difficult knot to solve due to the death of his lover, and he has not been able to break through the second realm for a long time. These two inheritance mantles are quite qualified, but they are not suitable as the heirs of the martial arts hall, so the Qiu Pavilion Master has been guarding the door of the Juying Pavilion and sweeping the floor in order to observe the crowd and find a suitable heir. ”

"Oh, that's it...... Ahem, you just said that the owner of the Qiu Pavilion swept the floor in front of the Juying Pavilion? ”

"So you don't know yet?"

"Nobody told me." Jiang Mubai smiled helplessly, no wonder Uncle Sweeping was so casual when he mentioned Shishan and Shi Guangwen, no wonder so many people went in and out, and never saw anyone spitting and throwing garbage.

Sure enough, people who concentrate on sweeping the floor are not simple.

"There are three inheritances in Juyingguan, swordsmanship, stick and boxing. With the amazement of your sword yesterday, Pavilion Master Qiu must be very interested. As long as you grasp the opportunity, it is not difficult to enter the door of Juying Pavilion. ”

Xu Qiansuan looked Jiang Mubai up and down, and added: "The age of enlightenment is a little late, but most of the current grandmasters are accumulated and come first. Brother Jiang, I'm optimistic about you. ”

The three strategies of the upper, middle and lower are all about asking for help from others in the final analysis, and Jiang Mubai has always felt that it is better to ask for others than for himself.

If he had a gun in his hand, Jiang Mubai would be much more sure-footed.

Seeing Xu Qiansuan talk about the various forces in Dingwu City, he was very reasonable, as if there was nothing in this small city that he didn't know, maybe he would know where to get a gun.

Jiang Mubai doesn't think that he has a deep friendship with Xu Qiansuan, and if he asks about the gun deal, he may get into trouble.

Weighing the pros and cons and thinking for a while, Jiang Mubai thanked him first, and then said tentatively: "Everything must be prepared with both hands, and it is also important to improve the ability to protect yourself...... Perhaps, I need a sharp weapon that is easy to carry and easy to hide. ”

"You want to buy a gun?"

“……”

Jiang Mubai stared at Xu Qiansuan and muttered in his heart.

Does this guy have superpowers? Trained mind reading?

Xu Qiansuan smiled: "Don't look at me like that, Jizhou can't help swords, you need a self-defense weapon and go directly to the Sword Washing Pavilion to buy it, why tell me?" You're not like a. It's easy to carry, it's easy to hide, isn't it just a gun? ”

Jiang Mubai had nothing to say, so he could only acquiesce.

"It's not difficult to buy a gun in Dingwu, I think, oh, there's an old black tavern on the outskirts of the city, you can try your luck there." Xu Qiansuan said and shook his head, "But the gun is very expensive, and it's not easy to use." With your martial arts, it is more practical to use a short dagger. In other words, martial arts doesn't pay attention to the strength of the body, the martial arts I have seen are not very affordable with firearms, "Martial Arts" and "Hundred Years of Martial Arts" have repeatedly emphasized that martial artists should pay attention to tempering themselves and the will of martial arts, rather than foreign objects that may be lost at any time. ”

probably talked a lot, Xu Qiansuan's tone and words became more and more casual, and he finally lost his half-literate and half-white diaphragm.

Jiang Mubai wrote down the "Old Black Tavern" in his heart and agreed casually. His views are different from today's mainstream views, in Jiang Mubai's mind, swords, guns and cannons are all tools used in combat, and there is only a difference between easy and bad use. To be more honest, swords are also tools, and fists and feet will also be cut off, what is the difference between them and the so-called "foreign objects"?

"Oh, yes, take the liberty of asking." Xu Qiansuan pointed to the empty crockpot on the low table, "If you run away, this crockpot soup ......"

Jiang Mubai resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and replied: "Don't worry, I don't have a soup master here, he can make crockpot soup, fried noodles, chicken soup wontons, and flowering brown sugar steamed buns." ”

"Oh, that's good." Xu Qian was relieved and smiled, "Okay, the soup has been drunk, the matter has been discussed, I should go, I have to go home to pick up my luggage, I won't be able to catch the train if it's late." ”

"You're leaving?" Jiang Mubai was a little surprised.

Xu Qian smiled evilly: "Well, take my grandfather to Huaizhou to see the beauty." ”

Old man Xu is so old, and it seems that the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease are serious, how could Xu Qiansuan take the old man to travel, this is obviously to go out to avoid trouble.

If he could leave, Jiang Mubai also wanted to leave Dingwu with Jiang Huiyin, but without a permit to leave the city and a temporary residence permit at the destination, he couldn't leave at all.

"Did you prepare for it a long time ago, or did you have a connection in the municipal department?" Jiang Mubai subconsciously raised his hand to stop Xu Qiansuan, thinking that if Xu Qiansuan had a way, he might as well run away with their grandfather and grandson.

"No, I'm a traveler, and I don't need to submit an application to travel out of town."

"Traveler?" Jiang Mubai couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that civilians didn't need to submit an application to go out of the city.

Xu Qiansuan conjured up a blue document from his sleeve like a trick, and said proudly: "After passing the junior traveler qualification examination and getting this certificate, you can travel freely in Jizhou within three years." When this primary certificate expires in one year, I will be able to take the intermediate traveler exam, and I will be able to travel freely within the second domain within five years. Brother Jiang, knowledge is power. ”

You have to take one of these certificates.

Unexpectedly, a hundred years later, I still can't escape the fear of being dominated by research!

"Well, I wish you ......."

Jiang Mubai was just about to wave goodbye and say goodbye to say that the journey was smooth, but he thought that this old man who seemed to know everything was about to leave Dingwu and didn't know when he would come back, so he immediately changed his words and said, "Wait, there is something I want to ask you." ”

"You say."

"I've heard that Reiki revival is a lie?"

Jiang Mubai asked this question in a half-joking tone, hoping to get some clues from Xu Qiansuan's mouth.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qiansuan walked behind Old Man Xu, held the wheelchair grip with both hands, and said with a teasing smile: "Brother Jiang, read more serious books and less literature on the stall." ”
