Chapter 83: Shangling Three Highs
After coming to the Qingyun Inn in Hanyan, Mu Weiyang found that the things he left in the courtyard of the Leng Liu family had been properly sorted out and moved to the Qingyun Inn.
"Little master, although Xu Fei can guarantee your life in the dungeon, the Leng Liu family may not be able to stay." Shopkeeper said.
The shopkeeper is worthy of being an old partner who has partnered with Xu Fei for many years, and he knows Xu Fei's temper and personality much more thoroughly than Mu Weiyang, who thinks he is smart.
Listening to the words of the shopkeeper, Mu Weiyang just lowered his head silently.
Seeing Mu Weiyang lowering his head, the shopkeeper knew that Xu Fei must have provoked her, so he stepped forward and said: "Little master, Xu Fei is afraid that you have been in Hanyan for half a month before you remembered to go to the dungeon to find him, you are making trouble, don't be like him, don't look at him Xu Fei is an old man, he has always been a child." ”
"Hmm." Mu Weiyang knew that the shopkeeper was comforting himself, and squeezed out a smile.
The shopkeeper looked at Mu Weiyang and smiled reluctantly, shook his head, and didn't continue to persuade her, just dropped a sentence of "If you need anything, call me" and walked out of this upper room.
"Hey, shop boy!"
As soon as the shopkeeper walked to the door, Mu Weiyang suddenly stopped him.
"Little Lord, what do you want?" The shopkeeper responded positively.
Mu Weiyang looked at the shopkeeper, hesitated, and said: "Shopkeeper, Xu Fei said, with my current ability, I haven't even reached the threshold of Rongxing, Di XVII also told me before that this is neither Qi Mu nor Qiangzheng, and no one will take care of me...... Me, am I really...... Really, so unbearable. ”
Mu Weiyang's words, in the end, were almost inaudible.
The shopkeeper said, "Little master, why do you want to compete with them? The most powerful thing about the little master is strategy. Skills can be practiced and learned, but strategies are not something that everyone can do. ”
The words of the shopkeeper made Mu Weiyang's mood feel better, she took a deep breath and said: "Yes, my most powerful thing is strategy, I may not be able to compare to Xu Fei and them in my life, but I Mu Weiyang, I can't be underestimated." ”
Mu Weiyang suddenly took two steps forward and said, "Shopkeeper, do you have any way to let me touch the threshold of Rongxing in a short period of time?" ”
The shopkeeper looked at Mu Weiyang's expression that became firm a little bit, and showed an elder-like smile: "Little master, have you heard of 'Shangling Three Highs'?" ”
"Shangling Sangao?" Mu Weiyang shook his head in confusion.
"That little master, do you know the division of strength of Rongxing?" The shopkeeper asked again.
"When he was in the dungeon before, Leng Liuqing once said that the ranks in Rongxing are divided into five bells, five bells, five bells, five bells, and four heavenly bells. Each class has its own level. ”
"I didn't expect Leng Liuqing to know this." The shopkeeper sighed, and then said, "That little master, do you know why the ranks in Rongxing are divided by 'bell'?" ”
Mu Weiyang shook his head.
"The thief is a line in the outer eight lines, there are rules, there must always be a standard for judging the high, in order to seek fairness, the establishment of a promotion standard called 'Shangling three high', compared to the eye, hand, body three skills, relative to the 'Shangling three high' standard, but also developed a series of practice methods for the eye, hand, body." Dian Xiaoer explained.
It turns out that the "bells" of "lower five bells", "upper five bells", "earth five bells", "heavenly five bells" and "upper bells three high" refer to the "bells" of the bells.
"Rongxing" is also divided into "locking" and "pickpocketing", of which "picking" refers to stealing skills, which are now collectively referred to as "thief techniques", and "locking" is the skills of unlocking without keys.
For thieves, there is a more advanced training in addition to the basic skills, which is carried out by a wooden man, and the joints of this wooden man are the same as those of a living person, which is movable. The wooden man hangs in the air, wearing the same clothes as ordinary people, and a copper bell is tied to his body, and the pickpocket has to take out the items in the pockets of the wooden man's clothes, and the bell does not make a sound due to shaking, which reaches the realm of the so-called "one bell".
The real master, starting from "one bell", can be practiced up to "seventy-two bells". That is to say, the highest level is to tie seventy-two brass bells to the wooden man, steal things and the bells do not ring. This kind of miraculous skill, for "pickpocketing", has really reached the peak of the realm.
After that, "bell" has gradually become synonymous with measuring the level of thief art, not that "a bell" is really the level of tying a bell on the wooden person, but just a general term for beginners, only the level of "bell" is really a thief.
After explaining to Mu Weiyang the basic knowledge of "Shangling Three Highs" and the thief's way, Mu Weiyang asked: "Dian Xiaoer, do you mean to say, now let me start practicing from the villain of 'Yiling'?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head, but still took out a small bell from his pocket as if he was playing a trick.
"Little lord, you first tie this bell to the hem of your clothes, so that it does not make any sound when you make any movement."
"What's so hard about that?" Mu Weiyang said and took the bell in the shop.
Who would have thought that this bell, which had never made any sound in the shop, began to sound "Ding Bell Dang Chang" as soon as it came into contact with Mu Weiyang.
Mu Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and directly brought the bell to his eyes, only to find that the tongue in the bell was extremely flexible, and it could ring if it fluttered a little or the wind was stronger.
From the moment the bell handed over to her by Xiao Er in this shop was brought to her, the bell has never been quiet.
Mu Weiyang felt strange, so he handed the bell back to the shopkeeper, who would have thought that the bell had just arrived in the shop, and it didn't ring again.
"Huh?" Mu Weiyang couldn't help but wonder.
The shopkeeper smiled faintly at Mu Weiyang, put the bell on the table in the upper room, and said, "Little master, look, this bell doesn't ring." ”
Mu Weiyang looked at the bell on the table and said, "This bell is on the table, of course it won't ring, and this table won't shake it." ”
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "That little master, go over and sit on the table and see if the bell rings?" ”
Mu Weiyang glanced at the shopkeeper puzzled: "If I sit down, will this bell ring?" ”
"You try."
Mu Weiyang sat down according to the words of the shopkeeper, and when she just reached out to hold down the table and wanted to prop up her body, the bell rang again, but this time the sound was very weak, and it seemed that she was just shaking.
"Little master, the next bell in the 'lower five bells' can be taken out from the little man with a copper bell hanging on it, but before 'moving', you have to learn to 'not move', if you can walk with this bell as usual, you can learn the 'one bell' technique."
After the shopkeeper's words were finished, Mu Weiyang finally understood why Xu Fei said that she couldn't even touch the threshold of Rongxing.
