Volume 2 Shui Bo Chapter 49 Discover a Zhang Zhengyi
Returning to Muyunzhuang, Du Lengqiu was lazy and lazy, and he couldn't raise his energy for anything. He took the thirteenth sister's pearl hairpin and put it on the table, holding his chin, staring at it in a daze.
The previous scene of fighting Pai Zu kept repeating itself in his mind, and he had to admit that compared to these inhuman guys, the combat methods of swordsmanship were too monotonous.
He muttered to himself, "Chenghuang, Chenghuang......"
Li Meng chattered beside him, trying to sell his fellow disciples.
"Okay! Let your uncle come in and talk. Speaking, how old is he, sixty years of darts? ”
Li Meng hurriedly explained, "It's not an exaggeration at all, my uncle and ancestor began to dart in the era of Emperor Wu. Today, he is almost eighty years old. ”
"Childe, wait a minute, I'll call Uncle Shi and his old man to come in. As he spoke, the mighty man snorted and trotted out. In a moment, he led a trembling old man in.
The old man had a white goatee, a wrinkled face, and a typical wine trough nose, slightly hunchbacked. He tried to straighten his chest, trying to be more powerful, but to no avail.
Du Lengqiu hurriedly put away the pearl hairpin and stood up, asked the old man to sit down, and ordered Li Meng to serve tea.
In the face of this trembling old man, he couldn't cry or laugh, this Li Meng was a little filial, and wanted to get some silver for his parents. But the question is, is this old man worth three thousand taels?
"Is the old man in good health?" Du Lengqiu had nothing to say
"Okay, that's very good! I can still open a hard bow with one stone, and eat three catties of rice meat. The old man wanted to beat his chest to show that he was strong. But he thought about it and gave up.
I'll go, you're pretending to be cheap.
Du Lengqiu laughed dryly twice and said, "Then the old man will tell me about what he has seen and heard about Pai Jiao." ”
"About Pai Rou. The old man twisted the little goatee that was left and spoke slowly, "The most famous of this platoon sect is the one old and two immortals and the five party patrol envoys. These people have been walking the rivers and lakes all year round, and all of them are famous, and they are all clear about their sons. I won't say more. ”
"I'll tell you the secret of the sect leader. This person's surname is Zhang, and few people know his name, only heard that he is an outcast of Longhu Mountain, but it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Twenty years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting him once. It was the battle between Paijiao and the four ghosts of Xiangjiang. ”
"The four ghosts of Xiangjiang are so clever that they are incredible, and the four brothers have practiced the ordinary light skills of flying on the grass to the extreme, coming and going, without a trace, and this is why they have the name of the four ghosts of Xiangjiang. ”
"But the sect leader used a long lance with a pitch-black body, one against four, and danced like a dragon going out to sea. It's very weird, the sect leader Zhang obviously didn't hit the four people, but the four ghosts of Xiangjiang suddenly died of poison in the battle and died in Xiangjiang. ”
"After a long time, I learned that the black lance was the secret weapon of the former emperor Yang Guang, and it was poisonous for hundreds of years, and it could kill people without touching the opponent, which was very terrifying. ”
"Childe, can you quench your thirst with a pot of wine? The old man took a sip of tea, frowned, and then said a little embarrassed.
But Du Lengqiu naturally didn't care about this little thing. He was listening interestingly, waved his hand, and motioned for Li Meng to hurry out and get some good wine.
Soon, Li Meng came in with a pot of wine and poured a glass for the old man very respectfully. As soon as the old man drank it all, he was immediately shocked, and sighed: "If you want to talk about the treasure of Paijiao, this poison lance is one." But it's nothing. Their most enviable treasure is the Qingtian pot!"
Speaking of Qingtian pot, the old man's cloudy eyes showed a color of extreme envy, "If the old man has such a treasure, he will really die without regrets." ”
"Qingtian pot?"
"Yes. Qingtian pot is a former tribute from the Western Regions. It is said that this Qingtian pot is a gourd-sized jujube kernel shell, which is made of the fruit of the sacred tree, and it is very strange. ”
"What's magical?" Du Lengqiu listened to the old man's boasting, and he was also interested.
"Qingtian pot can turn clear water into a peerless wine. The old man couldn't wait for Li Meng, a guy who had no eyesight, so he picked up the wine jug and poured another glass of wine to drink, smacked his mouth, and looked very envious.
Du Lengqiu waited for a while, but didn't see the old man continue, and asked rhetorically: "That's it, there is no other function?"
Lao Tzu pursed his beard, and there was some anger in his expression, "Isn't this enough? ”
Du Lengqiu was speechless, this Qingtian pot is really a treasure for drunkards. But for people who don't drink well, it's just a waste.
Just as he was speechless, Du Lengqiu suddenly remembered something. He suddenly stood up and asked, "Qingtian pot can turn clear water into fine wine?"
The old man replied proudly, "Of course!"
"Look at the appearance, it's a jujube kernel shell?" Du Lengqiu asked again
"Well, that's the rumor. I haven't seen it either. "The old man was a little weak-hearted.
But this was enough for Du Lengqiu, he turned his head to Li Meng and said, "Go to the account and pay three thousand taels of silver to your ancestor." Without waiting for Li Meng to answer, he hurried away.
In the study, Du Lengqiu found the messages sent by the informant supported by the Zheng family, and quickly found the one he needed. He read it carefully, word by word, and then read it again, before he exhaled and collapsed in his chair relaxedly.
"Hehe, Chenghuang, Chenghuang!"
"Originally, I was already dead, but now it is a turning point, and the willows are bright. This time, I'm going to take a chance!" Du Lengqiu completely recovered from his depressed mood and became ambitious again.
A puff of green smoke came out of the pearl hairpin, turned into the appearance of the thirteenth sister, and floated in the air. It's just that her body is not stable enough, and it seems that a gust of wind blowing can make her disappear.
"Brother, how can this divine position be touched at will? You and I don't know all these ways, will it endanger my brother's life if you want to risk it in front of the gods?" Although it was just a puff of green smoke, I could still see the worried look on her face.
"Thirteenth sister, there are many things in this world that are not earned for nothing, but they are not something that grass people like us can touch. For us, it is the right thing to seek wealth and danger. "Although Du Lengqiu is young, he sees things thoroughly.
"It's not worth risking your life for your little sister. ”
"It's just mutual benefit, the thirteenth sister doesn't have to care. If you become a water boy, I will ask you at a time. "Du Lengqiu is naturally not a virgin, this is a tentative investment, if it is successful, it will have great benefits. If he fails, he will naturally have a way out, and there is no danger of losing his life.
Seeing that Du Lengqiu had made up her mind, the thirteenth sister could only smile helplessly, "Little sister Zheng Jun, I am taken care of by my brother, and I can't repay it, but I wish my brother all the best." ”
"Don't worry, Junmei, improvisation is my forte. But first, we need to determine whether this person is the leader of the sect. ”
In the evening.
In the garden, Du Lengqiu sat on a luxuriously shaped mahogany chair, his fingers tapping on the armrest. Li Meng stood behind Du Lengqiu, making a majestic appearance. Deng Lun and Yanyun Diaosuo stood in front of Du Lengqiu, one on the left and one on the right.
Du Lengqiu asked casually: "How many good players are recruited now?"
Li Meng hurriedly replied, "There are two hundred and forty-three in total, of which more than 20 are Fang Gongzi's guards, and thirty-two are from my iron arm gate." ”
Deng Lun added: "All of them are martial artists in the stage of rest after tomorrow, and there are no innate masters. ”
Du Lengqiu didn't have much hope for these cannon fodder, it would be good if he could have some surprises, but it didn't matter if he didn't. He tilted his head and thought for a while, and said to Li Meng: "You take my name card and go to the governor's yamen to find Han Ji, saying that we will rent fifty heavy crossbows from the governor's yamen for fifty taels of silver for three days." Pay half of the amount upfront. ”
Li Meng didn't know about Du Lengqiu's subduing of Han Yu and burying Fang San alive. For a big man like the Governor of the Grain Road, he is naturally a little afraid. He stumbled, squirming, not knowing how to speak.
Du Lengqiu scolded angrily: "If you want to go, you will go." Didn't my words work?, take your fellow disciples, and bring the heavy crossbow back at once. ”
"You only have one day to practice tomorrow, and if one person can't do every shot, all your fellow students will be paid at a 50% discount. ”
When Li Meng heard that he wanted to earn thousands of taels of silver less, his eyes were red, and he hurriedly agreed, and ran out like a burning tail.
"Deng Shaoxia. You will organize two hundred people, and set off the next morning at the first rooster crow to the temple of Qinshui Shuibo. Whoever is late will not have a silver tael or two. In addition, you pick the ten highest kung fu out of them, I can be useful. ”
Deng Lun agreed to come down, and then went out to make arrangements. Only the smoke cloud fishing that had been silent was left at the scene.
Du Lengqiu gently tapped on the armrest, and did not speak, only looked at him coldly, and continued to put pressure.
Soon, Yanyun Yusuo couldn't hold on, and he asked flatteringly: "What do you have to tell Childe, although my old arms and legs are useless, I want to do a good job for Childe." ”
"Old man Zhu. Speaking of which, you are all accomplices of Fang San. ”
Yanyun fishing, that is, Zhu Hao hurriedly made a big shock, and bowed his head in fear and apologized.
Regarding Zhu Hao's performance, Du Lengqiu didn't seem to see it, "Without you guys as helpers, would Fang San bury the thirteenth sister's nurse alive? Do you have the courage to kill the thirteenth sister alive? I don't think so." ”
"Originally, I gave you the opportunity to atone for your sin, but not only were you ungrateful, but you also spied in my study. Say, "What sin are you to blame?"
Zhu Hao really panicked at this moment, clasped his fists with both hands, and hurriedly said to forgive, "Childe, childe, my old Zhu Qian shouldn't be, shouldn't be blinded by lard, I ......"
"Well, how are you?" Du Lengqiu asked for a long time, like looking at another bird that had been caught in the net and was panicking.
Zhu Hao gritted his teeth, "I will dedicate the Hundred Miles Ling Feng Jue to Gongzi." ”
This was greatly unexpected by Du Lengqiu, you must know that his original intention was to ask Zhu Hao to plead guilty, and then send him to confirm the matter of the sect leader.
He was a little displeased, tilted his head, and repeated coldly: "Hundred Miles Lingfeng Jue? Hmph, one kung fu can exchange your life?"
Zhu Hao hurriedly explained, "Childe, this is not ordinary kung fu, you should know that our family is a family of thieves, and we also work part-time to sell stolen goods in the entire northwest region." In fact, this is a peerless light feat excavated by tomb robbers from ancient tombs, which is claimed to be able to withstand the wind for hundreds of miles. Legend has it that Liezi walked against the wind, and returned on the 15th. Huqiuzi taught this is exactly this kung fu. ”
Du Lengqiu smiled, noncommittal, that means, make it up, you continue to make it up, see what story you can make up.
Zhu Hao was about to cry, "Childe, this mental method has six layers of realm, I have only practiced to the second level, and I have already walked alone in Jiangnan." Compared with this light skill, what eight steps to catch cicadas, flying on the grass is not worth mentioning at all. Even if it is the light skill of the Demon Gate that is famous all over the world - a thousand miles in an instant, it is nothing. ”
Du Lengqiu became interested at this time, "For a thousand miles, I haven't heard of it, you can tell me about it." ”
"Childe, the demon gate will brag, what is a thousand miles and a moment, it is all fake. I saw it 10 years ago, and I couldn't get there sooner than I did. Childe, my light work is really worth my life. ”
"Bragging? It turns out that you're the same dog. Okay, you go and make a copy of it and I'll see it. Du Lengqiu didn't expect anything from this. Think about it, what can be done by digging up the grave. Really powerful kung fu naturally has to be coaxed to spread to the world, such as Huashan on the sword to win the nine yin and the like.
Looking at Zhu Hao's bitter face and transcribing, Du Lengqiu felt unspeakably comfortable in his heart, and thought: No wonder everyone is willing to be capitalists, this is cool to squeeze the value of others!
After Zhu Hao finished transcribing, Du Lengqiu took it and looked at it, and nodded, "Okay, it's not bad." Elder Zhu, there is one more thing I want to teach you to do. ”
"I got the message. Linjiang Town hides the leader of the Pai Sect, and he hides a jujube core shell in his hand, which can turn clean water into fine wine. Go and steal that date pit from me. ”
"Pai Sect Master?" Zhu Hao was shocked, his face cloudy and uncertain, thinking of something. After a long time, Zhu Hao begged: "Zhang Zhengyi is extremely powerful, he can kill me with one finger." Childe, it's better to change jobs. ”
"If you don't go, or flee. I will offer a reward of 100,000 taels of silver for your head on the rivers and lakes. How to choose, you decide!"
"One hundred thousand taels?" Zhu Hao shuddered, he could already think about his future miserable situation, he was poisoned when he ate, and he was attacked when he was sleeping. No one can be trusted, there is no place to hide, and every day is worse than death.
