Chapter 6: The Nameless Ring
"Hey, hey, shopkeeper Liu, haven't you seen you for a long time?" Before the shopkeeper could speak, the man shook the folding fan, shook it a few times in a pretended manner, slowly paced to the counter, and said with a sneer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "Where is Wang Gongzi, didn't you come half a month ago?"
The prince snorted lightly, slightly displeased, and said, "Half a month ago? I came here half a month ago? Are you mistaken?"
"Wang Gongzi, you came here half a month ago to collect it. 'Account', asked for thirty taels of silver, the amount is not small, my shop is small, I have to enter the account book, if you don't believe it, I will turn it over for you!" ”
Hearing the words "just", Shopkeeper Liu shook his body, obviously knowing that there was nothing good going on.
Sure enough, Wang Gongzi closed the fan, knocked on his counter and said, "You also said that it has been half a month, such a long time, should you also pay some more money?"
"This ...... Wang Gongzi, although there are many people in the shop, but, this, this, every time you come, it costs dozens of taels, and the shop can't afford it!" said Shopkeeper Liu.
"Do you mean not to pay it?" Wang Gongzi asked this, and the four family members around him surrounded him, all of them rolled up their sleeves, and put on a fierce look, as long as the shopkeeper Liu didn't plan to pay the money, these four people would definitely beat him up!
"Ouch, Wang Gongzi, please, let go of the small shop! The small one has offended before, please Wang Gongzi Haihan!" Wang Gongzi smiled and said, "You finally know how to beg me, but I'm not here to do this, I want money, and you give me money!"
"Wang Gongzi, you come to the small shop every few days to collect the bills, and the small shop has been asked to go to the shop for a month, and if you continue like this, the store will have to close!
"Go!" Wang Gongzi kicked down Shopkeeper Liu and said, "Lao Tzu just wants you to close the door and tell you that in the land of Qin'an City, whoever dares to offend my Wang Gongzi is self-defeating! Hmph, don't say close the door, I want you to die now, who dares to say that mine is not?" Wang Gongzi's tone was extremely arrogant, looking at his demeanor at the moment, compared with the helplessness on the faces of the people around him, as if his sentence was not alarmist, but a fact.
Some of the people present knew the whole story, the shopkeeper was a little wealthy because of his good business half a year ago, and he was a little arrogant, so he didn't take Wang Gongzi in his eyes, and he just squeezed down a restaurant that Wang Gongzi's cronies were. In his mind, no matter how horizontal Wang Gongzi is, it is impossible for him to cross the official mansion, right? The big deal is that he has made trouble with the yamen, and he will pass by giving some silver. Who knew that Wang Gongzi's power was too great, and even the government did not dare to offend, not only that, but the government also forcibly sealed several of his big restaurants, making him clean overnight! It's just that he still has some backbone, but he still wants to do business in Qin'an City, but fortunately, his own craftsmanship is extraordinary, and he bought a small shop not long after, and the business is still booming. But since then, Wang Gongzi has relied on him, and every few days he brings four thugs to collect the bills, and if he doesn't give it, it will be a real beating. The shopkeeper originally had some savings, but in the past six months, he was actually left by Wang Gongzi, in order to run the small shop, he almost sold the valuable things in the store and his own home, and borrowed from east to west, barely able to make a living. It's just that this little shop is getting more and more shabby, and he is getting more and more simple.
However, if this continues, his shop will close sooner or later, and he will end up living on the streets, begging!
Most of the guests here have helped him in private, but they are intentional and insufficient, not to mention offending Wang Gongzi on the surface, no one can afford his revenge. So at this moment they just lowered their heads and sighed, thinking that this little shop was finished today!
Shopkeeper Liu knelt down for Wang Gongzi like that, there is really no way to do it!
"Hmph, look, is there anyone here who dares to say that my prince is not?" asked with a sneer.
"I dare!" A voice exploded like thunder, and everyone, including the vigorous Wang Gongzi, was stunned and looked at Shen Xian's side. I saw that the iron abacus with a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes on his face before was standing straight at the moment, his eyebrows were slanted, his essence was bright, his clothes were blowing, and his whole body was full of righteousness, as if he had suddenly changed a person!
Shen Xian was also stunned, he didn't know what the iron abacus was going to do, but the most peculiar thing was that he was closest to the iron abacus, and he clearly felt a wave of righteousness coming from his side!
"You, what are you?" Wang Gongzi was stunned for a long time, then came back to his senses, and asked viciously pointing at the iron abacus.
"Hehehe, there is righteousness between heaven and earth! You are a man who has many evils, and you will not be able to achieve good results, and if you defile the righteousness of the world, you will die sooner or later! People should live in the world, and they should act uprightly!" As soon as he said this, Shen Xian's brain "buzzed", and the word "righteousness" kept appearing in his mind, and his chest was filled with righteous indignation, eager to kill all the bullying and weak, vicious and cruel people in the world one by one!
"Well said!" Shen Xian slapped the table and stood up. As soon as he stood up straight, his mind immediately cleared up, but when he saw that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he knew that the iron abacus didn't know what tricks he had played, and he let himself go. Shen Xian glanced sideways at the iron abacus, the iron abacus was looking at him with a smile, and before Shen Xian could speak, the prince over there was flushed, he gritted his teeth in anger, and suddenly shouted "hit", and the four family members rushed towards the two of them with their fists!
Before the people arrived, the four of them shouted, and the sound was already shaking Shen Xian's ears. Shen Xian secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, although those four people were only family members, they all had the realm of martial artists, at least they were also C-class martial artists, one realm higher than Shen Xian, he was definitely not an opponent if he did it like this!
Maybe the iron abacus is hidden in the depths!
Shen Xian thought so in his heart, the heroic righteousness exuded from the iron abacus before, which made Shen Xian feel that this person was probably not simple, and he did this, maybe he would leave a back hand, so he would not move, and watch the movements of the iron abacus.
It's just that something happened that made Shen Xian dumbfounded.
The iron abacus picked up the fortune-telling flag, smiled sideways at Shen Xian, said "A big disaster is coming", and actually took a step and ran outside the store. Speaking of which, he is really hidden, and his body is so fast, even those four family members are just chasing the wind. Wang Gongzi was even more stunned, he didn't expect that the person who was full of justice just now would disappear without a trace!
Shen Xian was also stunned, and when he came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Wang Gongzi and the four family members, and at this time, Wang Gongzi also came back to his senses, looked at Shen Xian, looked at each other, and was speechless for a while......
"Call me!" the red-eyed prince broke the silence for a moment.
Only then did Shen Xian think of the thirty-six plans as the best plan, but it was too late, and the four family members blocked in front of him, rubbing their fists, and their ferocious appearance was revealed.
One of them, Ding Huoran, punched a punch, and he didn't know what exercises he had practiced, his fist was so strong that ordinary people could hardly stand the blow. Although Shen Xian only has the realm of martial arts, he has also learned a few kung fu skills in the martial arts hall, grabbing, blocking, and still knowing how to dismantle moves. It's just that this punch is surprisingly heavy, and the other party is in the realm of martial arts, although Shen Xian blocked it, his body couldn't help the force, and he flew out and fell the table, crushing the table and chairs.
When the other family members saw it, they were stunned, but they didn't expect the person in front of them to be so weak, they couldn't stand a punch and were knocked to the ground, and their hearts immediately rejoiced. This kind of beating of water dogs has always been everyone's favorite!
couldn't help but delay too much, the four of them immediately came forward, but before poor Shen Xian could stand up, the four of them's fists and feet fell on his whole body like a storm.
"Beat me to death!" Wang Gongzi snorted coldly, scolded and said again, "Dare to despise your grandfather Wang, look for death!"
When the four family members heard this, they hit harder, and Shen Xian only curled up in a ball, protecting his head, chest and abdomen, and let a few people punch and kick him in the back. It's just that the realm of these four family members is higher than him, and their skills are deep, and their fists and feet are like hammers that strike iron, and every time they fall on Shen Xian's body, Shen Xian feels a sharp pain, as if his bones are about to crack!
The four of them fought for a while, Shen Xian couldn't stand it anymore, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and he didn't care about covering his face and chest, but he showed his flaws. The four family members also had some vision, and when they saw this gap, they each made a look, and struck Shen Xian's head and abdomen with a fist. If these punches are solid, I am afraid that Shen Xian will be seriously injured and difficult to treat, and at this critical juncture, suddenly there was a sound of "stop" from outside the door!
The voice is sweet and crisp, but with a hint of coldness, as if rejecting people thousands of miles away and not being close to.
Everyone stopped moving, looked sideways at the door of the store, and couldn't help but gasp. Especially Wang Gongzi, he hadn't seen who came from the real door, but after a glimpse, the folding fan in his hand had already fallen to the ground.
If there is really a heavenly palace in the sky, and the heavenly palace is full of beautiful fairies, the woman who walked slowly outside the door of the store is the most beautiful one among the fairies.
"Who are you, why are you messing around in this Qin'an City?" The woman walked into the door of the store, looked at the people present, she didn't speak, there were five people standing behind her, but one of the old men asked, as if there was a hint of reproach in his words.
Wang Gongzi did not answer the old man's question, and his gaze never took off the woman.
How could there be such a beautiful woman in the world?
Just a glance and it's thrilling?
Could it be that the Jade Emperor in the sky was blind and let this fairy steal the mortal world?
The old man saw that Wang Gongzi had been staring at the woman for a long time and didn't reply, so he said "rude" coldly, his sleeve robe shook, and a huge force seemed to pour out of his sleeve robe, directly shocking Wang Gongzi out.
"Childe!" The four family members came back to their senses, left Shen Xian and gathered around Wang Gongzi, helped Wang Gongzi who was vomiting blood to his feet, and asked the old man: "Who are you, dare to attack my son-in-law, do you know that my son-in-law is. ”
Before the family finished speaking, Wang Gongzi actually stood up with a smile, as if there was nothing wrong. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't care at all, arched his hand and saluted the woman: "I have a beautiful woman in the next Tang Dynasty! Xiao Ke's surname is 'Wang', and his father is Wang Daoyuan, the richest man in Qin'an City! I don't know the name of the young lady, can you tell me?"
The woman still didn't speak, her eyes were like ice, her expression was indifferent, she just glanced at Wang Gongzi, then turned her head sideways to look at the shopkeeper sitting on the ground, and never glanced at Shen Xian's side.
The old man snorted coldly again, obviously not taking the richest man in Qin'an City in his eyes as Wang Gongzi said, he said: "The name of my young lady is also something that you can know?" Listen, my young lady is going to eat in this small shop today, and if you don't want to be disturbed, you can leave quickly, otherwise you will be convicted of rudeness, and don't blame the old man for being ruthless!"
"My God, this person actually has the cultivation of the martial arts realm!" The discerning guest guessed the old man's martial arts realm, and couldn't help but exclaim. When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads, and each took out some silver taels to pay for them and left. The old man had such a cultivation, but he called the woman "Miss", although he didn't know where it was, but it was not something they could afford to provoke, so naturally according to what the old man said, he cleared the scene, but when these people left, they didn't forget to look back at the beautiful woman from afar.
"Why don't you leave?" The old man saw that everyone in the shop had already left, except for Shen Xian, who was injured and couldn't move, only the prince was stunned and refused to leave.
"Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng just wants to get to know Miss, and dare to ask Miss to give Xiaosheng a name!" Wang Gongzi didn't look at the old man, but still looked at the woman and said.
"Good boy, take the old man's words as the wind in your ears!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and made a gesture of grabbing, and then put them away, and the four family members and Wang Gongzi were inexplicably thrown out of the store by a miraculous force, and fell to the ground, which also caused passers-by to stop and watch.
The four family members were heartfelt, immediately turned over and helped Wang Gongzi up, pointed at the old man and said viciously: "You wait, my master will definitely come to ask for an explanation in person!"
Wang Gongzi didn't speak, nor did he cry out in pain, his eyes were still looking at the figure that had loomed in the shop, as if he had entered a magic barrier.
"Alas!" the four family members sighed, naturally knowing what was going on, and the four of them slowly disappeared at the intersection with Wang Gongzi on their feet.
Over there, the prince seemed to have lost his soul and had to leave, and the old man here was not idle, and turned to look sideways at Shen Xian, who had just sat up.
"Miss, this person." The old man glanced at the woman, the woman only nodded, and the old man seemed to knowingly say, "The little one understands!" As he spoke, he approached Shen Xian, took out a brocade bag from his arms with one hand, and could see that it contained a lot of silver taels, but the other hand pressed on Shen Xian's wrist. Shen Xian was originally dizzy by the four of them, but at this moment he felt a stream of warm air flowing into his heart and lungs, and then it was like a river rushing, walking all over his body, indescribably comfortable. After only a moment's effort, Shen Xian breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that his eyes were bright, and he was much better.
The old man nodded, and said with a slightly concerned expression: "This little brother, there are fifty taels of silver here, you can take it and find a better doctor to treat the injuries on your body!" After speaking, regardless of whether Shen Xian should agree or not, he stuffed the bag into Shen Xian's clothes, and then said, "My young lady is going to eat here, it's embarrassing for the little brother, and please leave the little brother!"
Shen Xian looked at the old man, and his eyes fell on the extraordinarily beautiful woman.
He was stunned, shocked, and stupid.
The old man didn't care about Shen Xian's appearance, he gently patted him on the shoulder, called him back to his senses and said, "You can go!" said and glanced at the four men behind him, and the four of them walked over and carried Shen Xian out without saying a word, but as soon as they arrived at the door, they heard the beautiful voice like Ling Spring before.
"Wait a minute!" the woman stopped the four of them and slowly paced to Shen Xian.
If the beauty of the closed moon and the shy flowers, the sinking fish and the wild goose are used on this woman, I am afraid it will also be a blasphemy against her!
Shen Xian looked at the woman's face closely, and couldn't find any words to describe the beauty of this woman, so he could only sigh, he could only be surprised, and he could only leave a blank in his heart.
"This is yours?" The woman didn't pay attention to Shen Xian's gaze, and spread out her palm, but a simple iron ring fell asleep in her crystal jade palm.
Shen Xian seemed to nodded, he didn't hear what the woman said at all, and he didn't look down at the ring, he just looked at the woman and nodded, his mind was blank, except for the woman's shocking and alluring face.
The woman didn't speak, reached out and took Shen Xian's hand, put the ring in his palm, and then turned around.
The four of them helped Shen Xian outside the shop, put him down, returned to the shop, and closed the door.
Shen Xian still stared at the door blankly, as if he wanted to see through it, only when he looked through it, could he see the beauty behind the door that did not belong to this world.
"Idiot, I said that everyone in the world is crazy, and not knowing love words is the bane."
After a while, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears, distant and quiet, like a song, but it woke up Shen Xian.
Iron abacus!
Shen Xian remembered that this voice was familiar, but it was the voice of the iron abacus that made him suffer from misfortune. He swept around, but found no trace of the iron abacus, and suddenly looked down, only to find that the ring was actually in his palm. As if a ghost was fascinated, Shen Xian's mind came to mind the scene of the woman taking his hand and putting the ring in his palm.
It's as if there is still the scent of that person on the ring.
He thought, "If it's fate, we can still see each other, right?" Thinking about it, he put the ring on his index finger, and suddenly raised his eyes, remembering the words of the iron abacus, he has a fate with this ring, and if he has a disaster, he has to accept this ring.
Shen Xian smiled, he was indeed reluctant to throw away the ring, he didn't know what it was like, he only felt that the iron abacus was too weird, and he didn't know what he was doing. However, he immediately thought of his current situation, looked at the door again, calmed down a lot, and couldn't help shaking his head, and said in his heart: "What do I care about so much? I am nothing at all, can he see it? That woman should also be a big family, can people also be eye-catching? Think about it! Let's go to work honestly, and in the future, we will go up the mountain to learn art, and then talk about it when we have achievements!" After thinking about it, I put aside my doubts about the iron abacus and my love for the woman for a while, and turned around and went to the East Market.
At the moment when Shen Xian walked to the market, in the courtyard of a mansion somewhere in Qin'an City, in the golden hall, a middle-aged man with an obscene appearance and fat head and big ears sat in the hall, and there were two men sitting on both sides around him, and there were four family members kneeling under the hall, who were the servants of the prince.
"Are you saying that An'er is fascinated by a beautiful woman?" asked the middle-aged man sitting in the hall, his voice as loud as a bell, and although he was fat, he still had an extraordinary bearing.
"The little one didn't talk nonsense! It should be a woman from a big family, but an old man under her has a martial arts realm of cultivation!" said a family member.
The middle-aged man and the man sitting on both sides raised their eyebrows, obviously thinking of something. The man sitting on the left looked at the fat middle-aged man, called "big brother", and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the middle-aged man.
"We can't afford this kind of person! Go down, remember to tell Childe, stop thinking, it's impossible. The middle-aged man said, and couldn't help but sigh.
The four family members said with blank faces and exited the lobby.
The man sitting on the right had a beard, he snorted, and said to the middle-aged man in the hall: "Big brother, our power in Qin'an City over the years, is it not worthy of them? What's so terrible? In my opinion, give them some color to see, let them know our strength!"
"Third brother, do you really think that after so many years of business in Qin'an City, together with the appreciation of the prince, we can empty everything? They are not something we can afford to provoke! Not to mention, they are still his daughters. If you don't say anything else, I won't be able to deal with it from the little prince. It's not that you don't know that their big family is always a little involved with the prince, so it's better not to touch it. ”
"Big brother's words are reasonable, our brothers only seek wealth, what was the case back then, and what is still the case now!
The bearded man snorted again and stopped talking.
At the same time, in a large restaurant on Qin'an Chengdong Street, at the table near the window on the second floor, a fortune teller and an old man sat opposite each other. He always carried a jug of wine in his hand, shook it from time to time, and occasionally took a small sip with a satisfied expression.
"I said brother, you haven't spoken for a long time, I'm really anxious!" said the fortune teller sitting opposite the old man, if Shen Xian was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this person, but he is, an iron abacus!
"Brother, what's the hurry, didn't you give away that unlucky ring, what's there to hurry?" the old man took a sip of wine and asked with a smile.
"Brother, don't tease me, you also know that my ability to calculate is not as good as yours, since you have calculated everything, then you have to tell me, why did you give that unlucky ring to a stupid and worthless imp?"
"Hehe, you're humble! I'm afraid you're also the 'Dragon Yin Jiuxiao', right? Hahaha, in that case, what's the worry?"
"I just haven't figured it out, what does it have to do with him? If you want me to say that it is better to send it to 'Xiao Wanyun' in the east, he is a real dragon!" said Iron Abacus.
"Xiao Wanyun?" the old man smiled again when he heard the name and said, "I'm afraid, if it weren't for that 'Qiankun One Sword', he would have reached Bliss earlier than you and me!"
The old man just smiled, took a sip of wine and said, "You can't see through it, how can I see through it?"
"Brother, I think you like to fart as long as you drink!" Iron Abacus looked at the old man with a little disdain on his face.
The old man didn't care, still shaking his wine glass, with a comfortable look.
No one thought that the change in the fate of the world would start with this small conversation.
In the small shop on East Street, Shopkeeper Liu was helped up by the old man, looked at the woman in front of him in a little surprise, and only made a voice after a while, and said suspiciously: "You, you are, dream."
"Hehe, shopkeeper Liu has a good memory! My young lady has been to Qin'an City, and I have eaten a dish here with you, and I have never forgotten your craftsmanship since then! Today, Miss has come to you again!"
Shopkeeper Liu laughed dryly, nodded again and again, and said, "Please wait a while, please wait, Miss wait!" As he spoke, he was about to turn around and go to the back kitchen, but he heard the woman call: "Uncle Liu, I still want that 'Tianshan Wings'." ”
Shopkeeper Liu smiled back, then turned around and went into the back kitchen, but said in his heart: "This is not specially here to eat, I should miss that person!"
