Chapter 259: Twenty-Nine
After seeing the jade plaque on the waist of the man in the fancy clothes, Shangguan Yang and the young man stood up from their chairs at the same time. The two of them glanced at each other, everyone in the building didn't know each other, and there was no incision to meet, they all relied on the jade plate to identify their identities. Basically, when you see the jade plate, you see the principal of the building.
At the moment, the young man remained in the room to guard the dharma weapon. Shangguan Yang got up and walked slowly to the counter, and said to the shopkeeper: "Our brothers and sisters are feasting in your store in the evening, and we know that you can't prepare any banquets here." Warm a bucket of good wine, kill two chickens and stew. Then go to the soup pot and take a look, no matter what kind of meat, cut five catties, and finely cut a large plate for us to drink. If you have anything to eat here, prepare some of it, and the rest of the gold will be considered a reward for you. ”
As he spoke, Shangguan Yang took out a small gold coin from his arms and threw it on the counter. When he took out the money, he intentionally or unintentionally exposed the same jade plaque, but the number on his jade plaque was much larger, and it was carved with oracle bone inscription thirty.
When the shopkeeper saw the gold, he didn't bother to take care of the man in the fancy dress with makeup. After nodding his head and thanking him, he hurriedly ran out of the counter. instructed the old man to kill chickens and boil water, and then ran out of the small inn and went to the soup pot to buy cooked meat himself.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shangguan Yang said to the Washington man who had spent makeup: "Down is Shangguan Yang, the principal on the thirtieth floor, who has seen the seniors in the building. I haven't asked ...... yet."
"Who's the senior?" Unexpectedly, after the man in Chinese clothes heard it, he suddenly glared at Shangguan Yang, and then continued: "You find a bronze mirror to take a picture of yourself, what do you look like, what do I look like?" You look like you're sixty, don't you? And your clothes, I'm afraid that others won't know that you're a monk, right? A monk is a monk, and there is a bell on his feet. What is hanging a bell now? Cattle! As he spoke, the fat powder on the man in the fancy clothes fell down......
Shangguan Yang didn't expect this to happen at all, and he was stunned in his heart at the moment and didn't know how to answer. Asking the rank in the Heavenly Tower, he didn't dare to refute himself casually. At the moment, I can only endure this breath and wait for the Washington man to get to the point.
Fortunately, the man soon got into the subject: "Do you think that after giving me that magic weapon, you can leave here?" I'll tell you, don't think about that kind of thing. Not only the two of you, but even the person in charge of the building who was waiting to hand over the magic weapon in the back is also rushing here. Let's keep this artifact together, and the landlord will come over to join me and the others later. Since the construction of the building, it is the first time that the people in charge of all floors have met. It's also borrowed from the light of this initiation. ”
At this time, Shangguan Yang had already decided that it was a plan to bury the magic weapon in the ground if he did not return. Now that he heard that the entire person in charge of the Heavenly Tower was about to rush here, he hurriedly said to the man in the Chinese costume: "Before-this matter is fraudulent, this magic weapon was not obtained by us. It was buried in geography and lured me to dig it up. Now the entire person in charge of the Heavenly Tower is coming, be careful of being taken advantage of by the people who will not return......"
"Even if there is fraud, what if there is fraud?" After sneering, the man in the fancy dress glanced at the iron box guarded by the young man in the opposite room, and then continued: "Now that the Heavenly Tower has been dispatched, the only Fang Shi who can compete with us for a long time has also collapsed after the disappearance of their Great Fang Master. If one doesn't return and Wu Mian can't turn the sky upside down. ”
As he spoke, the man in the fancy costume took out a small bronze mirror from his arms. After wiping the bronze mirror aside, he took a look at his face. After seeing that my makeup was a little spent. The man in the Chinese costume took out the rouge gouache, and continued while touching up his makeup: "Go and prepare, whether you return or not, whether you have any calculations with Wu Mian." It's going to be a lively ...... these two days."
The man in the fancy dress didn't mean to introduce himself at all, thinking about it, this person's floor is too different from Shangguan Yang, and he really doesn't need to explain anything to him. After checking the magic weapon in the iron box, the man in the Chinese costume asked Shangguan Yang and the two of them to only take care of the magic weapon. The affairs of other people in the reception building, this man in fancy clothes on the fifth floor is directly responsible.
After a while, the shopkeeper did not come back, but several waves of guests came outside. When the old man was helping to handle the accommodation, he found that almost all of these people came alone, and there were more than a dozen people together. These people are of all ages, both male and female. However, these people all have one thing in common, they all have a palm-sized jade plaque hidden on their bodies. According to the number on the jade plate, it is arranged from small to large, and the smaller the number, the higher the identity seems to be.
By the time it got dark, the small inn was already full of guests, and even the two Chase Shops were full of people. Since the opening of this inn, it is the first time that I have encountered this kind of full house.
However, the number of guests who stayed was far from over, and after nightfall, seven or eight guests arrived one after another. Knowing that there were no rooms, these guests did not force it. They all paid the price for the upper room, but they just had to sit in the hall and rest for the night.
There is no reason why such a money shopkeeper should not turn around, but the first two people who came to the inn to stay have been staying in the house. He didn't come out until nightfall, and he had let the stewed chicken and cooked meat prepared by the shopkeeper be at the door of the two, and he didn't see the two come out to pick them up until the middle of the night.
The new principals of each floor were all below the fifth floor, and the man in fancy clothes became the highest-ranking floor principal. The shopkeeper deliberately counted before going to bed, and now there are a total of twenty-two people staying in the inn. However, it seems that the guests who came to stay here this time are not over yet.
Early the next morning, five or six more people came to the inn to stay overnight. They almost overwhelmed the little inn, and five or six of them arrived at the inn at about the same time. Although these people didn't know each other, they respected a middle-aged man in a white robe.
After meeting with the man in fancy clothes, the middle-aged man in white robe showed a jade plate engraved with three in his hand. After seeing this jade plaque, the arrogant arrogance of the man in the costume disappeared without a trace.
After counting the number of people, there were twenty-nine guests living in this small inn. However, after hearing this number, the expression on the face of the white-robed middle-aged man suddenly became strange. He looked around at these people around him, and after snorting coldly, he said slowly: "Twenty-nine people in charge of the floor, that's not right. As far as I know, not long ago, there were a series of disappearances of floor owners in our building. Some of them have left their natal charms in the sect to which they belong. The landlord went to check it himself, those few runes have been burned, and at least five people in charge are dead or missing, and now how did they get together twenty-nine people? ”
After saying these few words, everyone present became nervous, and the person in charge of the third floor obviously suspected that outsiders had mixed in among them. For so many years, the people in charge of each floor have not seen each other, and it is not so easy to recognize it now. At that moment, these people began to look at the people around them, intentionally or unintentionally
Looking at the suspicious looks of these people in front of him, the white-robed man sneered, and then said to everyone: "Since there are a few more people, then it's good to eliminate them, although we haven't met together, but there is always an intersection in private." Under the mutual identification, the extra few people should have nothing to hide......"
After the white-robed man finished speaking, the man in the fancy clothes suddenly laughed, and then said: "That's good, but it's good to identify, and the name doesn't need to be said, so as not to cause trouble in the future." Does anyone know me? ”
After saying this, the white-robed man on the third floor who spoke just now glanced at the man in fancy clothes, and whispered three words: "I know ......" After he finished speaking, two or three more people showed that they had seen this man in fancy clothes when they were working for the building.
These people proved each other's identities, and after that, the man in Chinese clothes looked at the other two dozen people slowly, and said, "It's your turn......
