Chapter 42: The Storm

Touching Gold Lane, Bounty Building

Yongning's famous Mojin Lane is actually just a long street where displaced people gather.

And the bounty building, which claims to be in place as long as the money is in place, dares to take any job, is just a three-story yellow wood building.

The man who was tightly wrapped, wearing a cloak and a hood, was furious at the owner of the bounty building.

"Money landlord, the reward is murder, not an enemy!"

Although the man couldn't see his face clearly, his anger seemed to be about to erupt from his hood: "It's been more than half a month, and the reward has only been completed, and he is still an insignificant Danshi apprentice." If I don't check, I don't know, most of your shit subordinates have joined the Qiankun Trading House! If you can do this job, hurry up, if you can't do it, return the dark flower, I'll find someone else, touch the gold lane is not only your signboard! ”

"Refund the money? Do you want to get your money back? ”

The owner of the bounty building was named Qian Wuyuan, with inverted triangular eyes, a sallow complexion, gold teeth, a long robe woven of gold thread, a golden bell tied around his wrist, and a gold ring on his ten fingers.

From the moment the hooded man entered the door and scolded, he kept hunching over, accompanied by a smiling face, spitting on his face, and behaving like a pug, until the other party said the most taboo word to him.

"Refund the money?"

"Bell bell!!"

The piercing bell was accompanied by a strong wind, and the hooded man only felt his throat tighten, and he was pressed against the wall with an irresistible force.

A large hand full of gold rings pressed against his neck.

The bounty landlord Qian Wuyuan had red eyes, looked crazy, the tip of his nose was close to his face, and spit was splashing: "You can beat me, scold me, if you are still unhappy, stab me with a sword, and cut me with a knife." But why do you want to say return the money? Why take my money? Why? You say, you say! ”

The big hand full of rings swayed, the wooden wall behind him made a "click" sound of firecracking, and the hooded man felt that his neck seemed to be broken at any time.

A cultivator with a hundred veins and a body as solid as wood and stone, in the hands of this bounty lord, he was as weak as a chicken.

No matter how hard the hooded man tried with his hands, he couldn't break free of the other party's single palm, but fortunately, the other party didn't really move to kill, but his emotions were out of control, remembering all kinds of rumors about the bounty landlord, and quickly changed his words: "Don't return the money, don't refund the money, let go quickly, you let go of me!" ”

The big hand wearing the gold ring suddenly let go, and the previously useless power exploded, and the hooded man instantly displaced, and the back of his head slammed against the wall, causing the entire small building to shake with force.

The hooded man with gold stars in his eyes didn't come to his senses, and he was pulled up by the bounty landlord, and the money at this time was not enough, and he returned to his previous flattering expression, and his triangular eyes were full of flattery: "What's wrong with the boss, why are you so careless, are you okay?" ”

Qian Wuyuan asked about the situation while helping the hooded man up, as if it was not him who had just done it: "Boss, I'm already urging it, but you also know that a reward of a few hundred gold can only impress some outlaws, Wang Gua is valuable, but I heard that he himself is a cultivator who has entered the product, and Lou Hong has been staying in the camp, so he really can't find any opportunity to start?" ”

The hooded man who heard the explanation rubbed his neck, angrily pushed away the money, and said disdainfully: "So you're afraid?" ”

"That's the true legend of the King Kong Gate of the Western Xia Imperial Mountain!"

Qian Wuyuan rubbed his fingers: "It's really impossible to fight against such a guy for 10,000 dollars, unless... Will the boss add more? ”

"Heh, sure enough, it's the same as rumored, it's a cheap breed who wants money and doesn't want to die."

The hooded man sneered, took out a golden ticket from his arms, and shook it in front of the money, "The big boss wants to wash the Qiankun business house in blood, let you gather all the killers who touch the gold lane, these 100,000 golden tickets are your fixed money, after the matter is completed, there will be 100,000 yuan, and share the profits of the living products!" ”

couldn't wait to stuff the golden ticket into his arms, and when he heard that there was still 100,000 yuan of money after the incident, he shook his head, "Cents?" If the money falls into someone's hands, there is no reason for it to flow out again. Please rest assured, the big boss will be able to do things with the Bounty Building. ”

"That's the true inheritance of the King Kong Gate, can you eat it with your bounty building family?"

Qian Wuyuan said with a smile: "If you can't eat it, you have to take two bites to know, with the big boss's shot, not to mention the true legend of King Kong Gate, it is the master of King Kong Gate, and Lao Qian has to go up and grab him twice!" ”

……

Only peers in the world are the real enemies.

When Qiankun Commercial Bank did not enter before, the whole got along with the entire Yongning Business Alliance.

Since opening the pharmacy, the taste has gradually changed, and as Zheng Qian put out the Yijin Pill with a Dan price of less than three hundred, the rumors have become more and more outrageous.

"Thief killer hero or golden cicada shelling? The Qiankun Commercial Bank mob gathered to hide filth and dirt, or it was the largest gang of thieves and killers in Yongning Prefecture. ”

"Qiankun Commercial Bank's Danshi Wang Gua has a despicable character, and he stole Wanfeng Medicine Store [Yijin Ancient Formula]!"

"More than ten Taoist halls jointly signed Wan Long, the president of Wanfeng Pharmacy, set up a heart-to-heart banquet in Baicaozhai to ask Zheng Qian, president of Qiankun Commercial Bank, for an explanation!"

"Zheng Qian was timid and didn't dare to go to the appointment, President Wan let go, before he escaped back to justice, this banquet of conscience will continue to be held, please Yongning all the gentlemen to testify."

With the rise of rumors one after another, Qiankun Commercial Bank was once again pushed to the forefront.

The few people who are the core of the business bank have not been affected, but there is panic underneath.

On the one hand, these rumors are half-truths and half-truths, which are very confusing.

On the other hand, the most fundamental reason is that the vast majority of ordinary people in the world actually lack sufficient judgment ability.

They recognize people through their mouths and the world through their eyes.

So when the whole Yongning is talking about Qiankun Commercial Bank, the most tangled thing is the original employee, many young people have no mind to work, and when they see the steward or the owner, they are like a curious baby, with thousands of question marks on their heads.

On the contrary, those who are old, and the outlaws who joined halfway, were not affected by the rumors in the slightest.

In fact, the internal problems are easy to solve, the key is the outside, Qiankun Commercial Bank received a large purchase order from the surrounding villages and towns, and it is bound to purchase from the merchants in Yongning City, but the problem now is that these merchants seem to have received some rumors, and their attitudes have changed.

Those who tear up contracts, refuse to trade, and exclude isolation.

Obviously, there was no contradiction and conflict before, but his attitude changed 180 degrees.

And the source of all these problems is because of the trouble of Wanfeng Medicine.

As a veteran medicine store in Yongning, he directly pressed the Qiankun Commercial Bank in the position of thieves and thugs.

When the disciples of the Wan family recruited a group of brothers and sisters, and Wan Long gave a performance in tears, Qiankun Commercial Bank became a rat poop that everyone in Yongning City shouted and beaten.

When people claim to be righteous and judge, they are tyrannical and unaware.

So as the old saying goes, forgiving people is not a fool, and an idiot will not spare people.

At present, Yongning is like this, the silence who knows the inside story, and the people who don't know the reason are united, and there are constantly disciples of the Taoist Pavilion who go to Baicaozhai to support Wanjia, saying that they will steal the despicable thieves and drive them out of Yongning.

The lie was repeated a thousand times before it became the truth, and the situation of Qiankun Commercial Bank became more and more unpleasant, but what made Zhou Shang feel most incredible was that Wang Gua was surprisingly calm.

So after a certain fry, Zhou Shang asked Wang Gua for the reason.

"I thought that when I heard that the Wan family wronged you for stealing the Danfang, Master Wang would be very angry."

"Angry? Why should I be angry? ”

I still remember that Wang Gua held his head high at that time, and his expression was stinky, "Didn't you hear what the old boy in Bandung said, the Yijin Pill that Lao Tzu pondered was already at the level of their Wanjia [Yijin Ancient Formula], stealing learning?" Wait for Lao Tzu to study and study again, and come up with a [Yijin Pill] with characteristics, so that you can't see their faces smashed! ”

Those who should be angry are not angry, but those who should not be angry are about to blow up their lungs.

"I'm going to unscrew off the head of the old man in Bandung, and the group of people who chew the root of the tongue, one counts as one, and the mouth is all torn!"

Lou Hong's weather is not light, if he hadn't been stopped by Zheng Qian, he would have washed Baicaozhai in blood.

"It looks like I can't go on a trip."

Seeing that the situation of the business bank was getting worse and worse, Zheng Qian, who didn't want to pay attention to the rumors, finally made the decision to go to the appointment, and asked Lou Hong before leaving: "You just stay in the station, I am not allowed to go anywhere until I come back." ”

"How can this work!"

How could Lou Hong agree to this, his eyes rolled and he found an excuse, "Then Wan Long is obviously not good, I have to go with you to protect you!" ”

"What Wan Long wants is righteousness, he will never do anything to me, and even try his best to protect my integrity."

Zheng Qian smiled: "If I am a little injured, how can he, an innocent victim, still play?" You're only going to make a mess with you, so stay in the camp and I'll pick two escorts to accompany you. ”

"You have to be careful in the camp, Wanjia Commercial Bank will not have only one trick this time. So when I went to the appointment, Shen Chi let Shen Chi take the idea of the size of the firm, so as to respond to all changes without change, no matter what the outside said, let's just do our own thing. ”

After making arrangements for the appointment, Zheng Qian took two guards to Baicaozhai to make an appointment.

The more Lou Hong, who was forcibly left in the camp, thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and found Zhou Shang who was doing [Five Fowl Guidance] on the school field.

It was early winter, in the center of the school field, Zhou Shang was naked with a well-defined sturdy upper body, practicing exercises, surrounded by guards, and he was fascinated.

I saw that he sometimes stomped on the ape and the deer, sometimes the tiger jumped and the bear ran, and the sweat that steamed up condensed into the shape of five birds, changing in a myriad of ways.

Now he is well versed in the true meaning of [Five Fowl Guidance], and he is no longer confined to a single form of drills, but integrates the true meaning of the five fowls with each other, a set of guidance kung fu only for raising Qi, but there is a little shadow of martial arts.

Over time, it may not be impossible to create a technique that contains the meaning of five birds.

Although such a technique has been available for a long time, this cannot hide Zhou Shang's excellent understanding.

As Zhou Shang's set of [Five Bird Guides] finished the work, Lou Hong, who had been admiring it for a long time, exclaimed: "Not bad, the bear runs to the ape, the tiger and the crane are double-shaped, you have obtained the true meaning of the five-form guidance method, plus the whole process of pill assistance, before and after the beginning of spring, it should be possible to open up all the twelve canons and the eight veins of the strange meridians, and officially complete Xiao Zhoutian." You've only been angry for less than half a year, and you're going to be a little Zhoutian, and the speed is quite fast! ”

"Just practice diligently."

Zhou Shang, who was slowly finishing his work, opened his eyes, rubbed his hands and put them on the back waist and kidney door, and skillfully opened the [Returning Qi and Vitality].

This inhuman scene saw Lou Hong's eyelids twitch: "No wonder your Yuan Qi and physique have grown so fast, but if you do it like this, your spirit can bear it?" ”

[Returning Qi and Vitality] is a divine skill in the realm of Qi Sense, but this skill only restores physical strength, not energy.

What really prevents a practitioner from touching his or her own limits is that most of the time it's not a physical problem.

"Just get used to it."

Zhou Shang replied calmly, and then asked Lou Hong in confusion: "The owner is not going to the banquet, you didn't follow?" ”

"He won't let it! It's a joke to say that I'm going to do bad things if I follow, but if you judge it, am I a bad person? ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Lou Hong waved his fist, his face full of anger: "If you don't go, you won't go, anyway, I've already written down those nonsense words that will drive us out of the Yongning Daoist Hall, and when I turn around, I will kick the hall one by one, and the hall owner who can condone his disciples outside is definitely not a good thing, see if I don't smash their plaques!" ”

I have to say that Zheng Qian's view of people is still extremely accurate.

Zhou Shang shook his head, didn't say anything, recovered some strength, and prepared to carry out the next trip to the [Five Birds Guide].

At this moment, a clear bell rang, and the new guards who remained in the school grounds turned pale, and some even trembled.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lou Hong raised his eyebrows, looked left and right, and asked inexplicably.

Unfortunately, none of the guards replied, and everyone stared in the direction from which the bell came, their faces stupid, and their pupils fluttered.

Some even curled up on the ground like ostriches, covering their ears with their hands, and muttering "spare your life, spare your life."

After Zhou Shang and Lou Hong glanced at each other, they walked towards the outside of the camp, wondering what kind of sound was the sound that scared these people like this.

Following the bell's origin, the two quickly walked out of the camp and came to the central square of the station.

A man with inverted triangular eyes stood not far away, shaking his arms.

The bell rang from the golden bell on his wrist, and as the bell rang continuously, pale faced, hired men and men came out of the garrison and fell to their knees before the man.

After only a short period of effort, the place where the goods are stacked in the usual trading house is already full of people.

The original employees and men of the commercial bank stood on the periphery in twos and threes, pointing and watching the play, and were not affected by the bell at all.

"Damn it."

The scene in front of him made Lou Hong inexplicably a little angry, and he shouted at the person who came, "Don't ring the bell!" Who are you, what are you here for, why are they kneeling to you? ”

The bell stopped suddenly, and Qian Wuyuan recognized Lou Hong at a glance.

That extremely powerful momentum, and a monster-like physique that can be seen with just your eyes, except for the true transmission of the Vajra Gate, I don't think about it as a second person.

"He's a monster-like guy... No wonder it's worth so much money! ”

The color of excitement flashed from Qian Wuyuan's face, patted the 100,000 golden tickets saved in his chest, rose infinite courage, and came from the registration number: "I am Qian Wuyuan, come to find my own dog!" ”

"If you don't tell the truth, you want to be beaten?"

Lou Hong "clicked" and clenched his fists, and said coldly: "If you are simply looking for dogs, why are they afraid of being like this!" ”

"Clams, clams, because they're my dogs!"

Qian Wuenough laughed maniacally, while swinging his arms outstretched, and the bell rang again: "Good dogs, call a few times to the master!" ”

"Wang... Barking... Woof! ”

As the bell rang again, some of the hired men who were kneeling on the ground actually learned to bark as dogs.

Seeing this scene, Lou Hong's blood and qi rushed against the heavenly spirit, and the ghostly voice disappeared in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already unable to have enough money on his head, and his fist was smashed down.

"Boom!"

Qian Wuyuan crossed his hands and staggered his arms, and at the intersection of his fists, the earth was shaken, the air waves rolled, and the gravel was like an arrow, whether it was watching the excitement or kneeling on the ground, they were pushed away several feet.

After the wind sickle, Qian Wucan's clothes and pants were all burst open, naked and naked, the golden bell on his wrist was smashed into gold leaf and stuck to his wrist, his legs below the knees were all submerged in the ground, and his arms were still in a crossed posture on the top of his head, but his eyes were godless and empty.

The brown pupils, shrunk to the size of chopsticks, looked at the broken golden ticket in the distance.

And after the blow, Lou Hong did not add an additional attack, he dodged to the side and looked away with his hands behind his back, and his tone was light: "If you can take my punch, you are not a nameless, you lose face if you are naked, you can go back and wear armor and challenge again!" ”

Qian Wuyuan didn't answer, just numbly pulled out his legs, turned his head and walked out of the station, turned his head suddenly, his eyes were red, and shouted hysterically at Lou Hong: "You break my golden ticket, I will cut off your financial route, wait to collect Zheng Qian's body!" ”

After shouting, he jumped up and swept towards Yongning City like a wind.

???

"Damn, what's in the head?"

Lou Hong, who was stunned for a moment, was immediately furious, and threw a sentence at Zhou Shang, "You are optimistic about your home", and then dodged and chased after him.

The two of them went one after the other, and after a few breaths, they were no longer visible.

"Huh... You go back..."

Zhou Shang stretched out his hand and wanted to stop Lou Hong, but the other party didn't listen.

Shaking his head, he sighed, and was about to shout to the crowd kneeling on the ground to get up, but suddenly he heard a thin bell in the distance, and suddenly turned his head to look

Out of the forest, a few men wearing ephedra robes, embroidered with the word "gold" on their chests, with ordinary looks and figures, mopping the ground with swords, slowly walked towards this side.

Their weapons differed in style, but what they all had in common was that a bell was tied to the handle of their weapons, some of them in brass and some of silver.

"The bell moves, the soul is wronged, the copper bell buys life, the silver bell extinguishes, the double bell arrives, and not a single inch of grass grows!"

"It's the Bronze Bell Killer and the Silver Bell Killer of the Bounty Building!"

"The Commander has been lured away, this is over, it's over!"
