Chapter 50 Coming to Ancient Shu
Ling Lu left, but the corridor of the hotel was still very noisy, many people shouted and asked what happened to Taishan, screaming like a swarm of headless flies, and some began to spread rumors about the end of the world or something, Zhang Nan was also very excited, he saw the monk fighting for the first time in his life tonight, watching the divine light in Ling Lu's hand flying, conjuring a long sword out of thin air, which made him admire. Although Tarzan was back in darkness, he still stood in front of the window with an excited face, staring intently.
During this period, the fat man also came, and before the strength of the wine was over, he was drunk and blew a, and asked what was going on outside, Zhang Nan pretended not to know anything, fooled him, and he went back to sleep.
Jiang Chengyun looked at the time, it was already more than three o'clock in the morning, he left a message for Luo Feifei, hoping that she would report her safety, and then lay down, since he used up the foundation flower, this was the first time he felt tired, and it was estimated that the fusion with the Pisces jade pendant consumed a lot of his mind and physical energy.
Zhang Nan lay beside Jiang Chengyun and asked with his bright eyes: "Brother Jiang, what will this Shumen be like, and are those monks as strong as Sister Linglu?" ”
Jiang Chengyun casually coped with a few words, he had seen this kind of scene a few times, and he would not be as excited as Zhang Nan.
After a night of silence, the two fell asleep.
The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining through the window, Jiang Chengyun woke up the dazed Zhang Nan, after they finished washing, Linglu also happened to knock on the door and came in, the three of them combined, while the group of classmates had not woken up, hurry up, otherwise there will be ink traces.
Out of the hotel, all the soldiers last night withdrew, but the broken cement pavement on the street, proved that there were indeed tanks to come last night, there were few pedestrians on the street, they looked up at Mount Tai, the strange thing is that Mount Tai at this moment is as intact as ever, there was no way to see that there was a fierce fight there last night, but the road to Mount Tai is all blocked, and there are soldiers patrolling with steel guns.
Jiang Chengyun and his entourage got into the car of Linglu, the car started, they drove away from the direction of Mount Tai, there are also many patrolling sentinels along the road, who are randomly checking vehicles and arresting lawbreakers.
Two hours later, they left Tai'an City and entered the highway, Zhang Nan turned on the navigation, according to the hint, they still need to drive for ten hours, and it will not be until evening to reach Shumen. Jiang Chengchan opened his exclusive mobile phone, clicked into the group chat in Shumen, and found that the people in the group had learned to be obedient this time, and congratulated him in rows on his appointment as the new sect master.
"It's still useful to get off the horse." He smiled unconsciously and sent another message:
"Fellow citizens, this sect master will arrive in Shumen in ten hours, I hope you will meet you in time."
Obviously, the people of Gu Shu are about to start scolding their mothers across the screen again, Liu Mingde is already laughing angrily, looking at this message and scolding: "You hairy boy, you can really put on a score, and you can also drive, and when you arrive, you will see how Lao Tzu cleans you up." ”
He sighed, and replied respectfully: "Welcome Sect Master Jiang to take office, tonight will be a banquet for you." ”
"Good." Jiang Chengyun replied lightly.
This sentence almost spurted Liu Mingde's old blood angrily, he is almost thirty years old, although he is still very young according to the age of the monk, and he can even be said to be a teenager, but he was ridiculed for being obedient, which he really couldn't bear, and immediately replied: "The sect master is self-respecting." ”
"It's just a nickname, don't mind, Xiao Liu."
Liu Mingde gritted his teeth, and said Xiao Liu again, okay, he can see through, this is a shameless person, he can't be entangled with him, and when it comes to night, he has to stumble on him, he snorted coldly, and said in his heart, but a third-order monk who washes the fetus, he is just an ant who breaks the sky, I have a way to make you unable to get off the stage!
Linglu drove very fast, if there was no speed limit, she could drive this Toyota domineeringly, Zhang Nan nodded sleepily on the road, although he had a Taoist spirit, but he hadn't awakened yet, he couldn't compare to Jiang Chengyun, let alone Linglu, so he slept for four hours, he really couldn't bear it, but he still wanted to let Linglu rest and rest, he went to drive, Jiang Chengyun laughed, just let him sleep honestly, with him.
Along the way, Jiang Chengcheng and Linglu drove in shifts, because the highways are basically straight, and the surrounding scenery basically does not change, and people will inevitably become sluggish after driving for a long time, in order to maintain sufficient energy, the two need to keep this kind of rotation driving.
Along the way, the two of them chatted a lot, and also had a new definition of Ling Lu's identity, although she newly joined the Jiangbei Sect and became Jiang Chengchan's personal thug in name, but she belonged to the headquarters of Tianji Hunting City, and was a registered "hunter", directly under the orders of the city lord, and had to carry out special tasks when necessary.
And the tasks of the Heavenly Machine Hunting City are all graded according to the person's cultivation, for example, his cultivation in the realm of washing the fetus can only perform D-level tasks, because the C-level tasks are too dangerous and can only be performed by people in the Tuomai realm, so when the sect issues a task, it will be accurately sent to people who match their cultivation according to the level of the task, and those with low cultivation will not know at all, which is actually a kind of protection to prevent people with low cultivation from wanting to fight a bicycle and turn into a motorcycle, thus losing their lives.
Just like this Taishan night, if Jiang Cheng can go, he can only die when he meets Cao Cao, and maybe he will be parasitized by his consciousness.
As they continue to advance, closer and closer to Shumen, the style of the city has changed a lot, the high-rise buildings have become less, the mountainous areas have increased, various ancient cities have emerged, the ancient Shu has been famous for its steepness since ancient times, and it is possible to reach the plain only after crossing many mountainous areas, where the land is very good, suitable for accumulating grain and storing troops, many emperors in ancient times have taken occupying this place as a priority strategy, so there are many ancient cities in the mountain passes here, and now they are protected and develop tourism.
Jiang Chengcheng rolled down the window while driving, he lit a cigarette, and looked out the window while smoking.
The two of them were silent, and after a long time, he spoke: "Ling Lu, I know that the reason why you are willing to be my thug is purely for the resources of Shumen, you actually despise me very much in your heart, and think that I am a hairy boy, I have honestly studied in school for more than ten years, and I have never even been in contact with the world of monks, and my own cultivation is also the lowest." ”
"Exactly, I don't think you're capable of anything." Ling Lu was not polite at all, and directly picked it out.
Jiang Chengcheng was embarrassed and choked for a moment.
Seeing his deflated appearance, Ling Lu couldn't help but laugh quietly, and then added: "But you are indeed not simple, you can go deep into the desert alone, you can pick the flower of foundation building, do you know that according to the records, no one has picked this flower in a thousand years." And you dare to pull out a knife to assassinate the Toad King alone, which also makes me feel that you have some courage, not a coward, otherwise even for the sake of resources, I will not be your thug, but your boss. ”
"Okay, that's like human talk." Jiang Chengyun laughed, threw away the cigarette butt, then brewed for a while, and asked calmly: "Linglu, do you want to make a bet?" If you win the bet, I will be your little brother in the future, if you lose the bet, you will be completely loyal to me in the future and be my personal thug willingly. ”
Ling Lu glanced at him and asked with a strange expression, "Let's talk about gambling first?" ”
"Just bet on spirit stones, this is hard currency." Jiang Chengcheng said: "Within a month of arriving in Shumen, I got two hundred catties of spirit stones, and if I can't get me to be your little brother, I will be willing to be my thug, and you have to concentrate on cooperating with me within this month, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't do what you shouldn't do." ”
Jiang Chengyun took a deep breath and asked, "How is it, Linglu, do you dare to bet?" ”
"Two hundred pounds? One gram is a monetary value, which is equivalent to 100,000 gold values for you. Ling Lu sneered: "I'm afraid you're not crazy, two hundred catties of spirit stones are enough to pile up ten Qi refining stage masters, and in the case of these people's very poor talents, even if you want to be my junior brother, you don't have to gamble like this, right?" ”
"I only ask you, do you dare to bet?" Jiang Chengchan's face was expressionless, but he was unusually serious, and he couldn't see the meaning of the joke at all.
Linglu blinked, thought for a while, and said, "Then bet, I will cooperate with you well this month, and I will do whatever I want, and I will never ask more." ”
Jiang Chengyun raised his left hand, shook out the Great Dao Glass Blade in his sleeve, and said, "It's yours." ”
"Huh?" Ling Lu asked in surprise: "This is a gift from Brother Hua, what should you do for self-defense?" ”
"Now I'm the boss." He shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Which boss have you ever seen personally fighting, these are all things that thugs do." ”
Having said that, if Jiang Chengyun hadn't used the Pisces Jade Pendant to copy a glass blade in advance, he would never have given it away so easily.
Time flies, the eyes of the afternoon pass slowly, the night gradually falls, they are less than twenty miles away from the location of Shumen, the car drove off the high-speed frame, and drove into the national highway road. Shumen is not like Jiangbei, living in the city center, this is a new sect in recent years because of the ancient Shu mining cave, so the headquarters of the sect is set in the mountains, ten miles away from the mine road, which is very convenient for them to dig holes. It's a pity that nothing decent has been dug up in the mine so far, and it is precisely because of this that the establishment of the Ancient Shu Sect is a loss-making business for the Tianji Hunting City, only throwing money and not making money.
Jiang Chengyun smiled and asked Zhang Nan to get ready, this is a famous poor sect, even if he has money, there is no place to spend it in the mountains, it is not as good as the conditions in Jiangbei, he must be prepared to adapt to the simple environment, Zhang Nan is also a little rich second generation, and he is used to being pampered on weekdays, but he is extremely happy this time, and bluntly said that even if he climbs the ice and lies in the snow, he will not hesitate to go to the mine to make holes, and he will never complain.
After a while, the car drove into the deep mountains, the snow-bright headlights illuminated the lonely deep mountains, here is no man's land, there is no village to see, the cry of the nighthawk came from the dark mountains, adding a touch of desolation to this place, there is a wolf howl in the distance, if it is not for the narrow road in front of you, it is really suspicious to enter the primeval forest.
The car marched to the end of the highway, and a brightly lit white building appeared in the distance, about five stories high, radiating a bright light in the barren mountains, and the red banners hanging on the upper floor were very eye-catching, and there were already more than a dozen strong men standing downstairs, they lit a bonfire, dressed neatly in the night, and were really waiting for Jiang Chengcheng's arrival.
Jiang Chengyun instructed Zhang Nandao: "Drive the car over and stop under their noses." ”
Zhang Nan nodded, and with one foot of the accelerator, he did not brake sharply until he was about ten meters away from these people, and the car set off a gust of wind and blew on the faces of these Shumen people, but these people's faces did not change, and they looked at all this lightly. Zhang Nan quickly ran out of the car, trotted all the way to the side of the car, and opened the door for him.
Jiang Chengcheng took a deep breath, a smile appeared on his face, slowly paced out of the car, looked at the dozen strong men in front of him, waved his hand and said, "Compatriots have worked hard. ”
One of them, a man in his thirties, stood up and asked expressionlessly, "It's nothing hard, who are you?" ”
"Oh, you're Liu Mingde." Jiang Chengyun said calmly: "I have seen your resume, and I look stronger." ”
The strong men behind Liu Mingde let out a sneering laugh, although their voices were small, they blatantly looked at Jiang Chengyu's immature face, and discussed: "Ah, this new sect master is a child." ”
"Even so, I don't know if Mao Changqi has it."
"Tsk, this cultivation is only the third order of tire washing."
Liu Mingde did not stop the mocking behavior of his subordinates in the slightest, and continued to ask: "Please answer, who are you, otherwise you will be expelled." ”
Jiang Chengyun didn't believe that he hadn't read his resume, this was stumbling on himself and getting rid of Ma Wei, so he looked for his hand, and Ling Lu walked over, holding a hardcover box in both hands and handed it to him.
Jiang Chengyun pinched this feather and said expressionlessly: "The sect master's token is here." ”
Zhang Nan also quickly took out a document and handed it to Liu Mingde, on which was Jiang Chengchan's identity information and the authorization certificate to serve as the sect master. Liu Mingde flipped it over casually, threw it to Zhang Nan, and with all his subordinates, he arched his hand casually, and said perfunctorily: "Welcome to the new sect master." ”
"Huh." Jiang Chengyun smiled and asked rhetorically, "Why, as Elder Liu Shouyi's parent, have you even forgotten the minimum rules of Tianji Hunting City?" ”
"Heh, what rules are you talking about?"
"On the first day of taking office, all the subordinates have to kneel and bow, don't you understand?" Jiang Chengyun pinched the feather, and the expression on his face seemed to be smiling.
Someone immediately spoke in the back, and whispered: "You are a rich second generation who buys officials, what kind of sect master are you?" ”
Jiang Chengyun immediately stretched out his finger and pointed at the kid, and laughed loudly: "That's good, you really have to kneel down for me today!" ”
Liu Mingde glanced at Jiang Chengyun, and said expressionlessly: "Let's kneel, it's okay, but we have a rule in Shumen, all new sect masters must raise the crown in order to be recognized by the sect." ”
Liu Mingde pointed to a big tripod made of steel behind him, which is four-legged and two-eared, boxy, and is an imitation of the four-sheep square tripod, with a metallic luster and a heavy atmosphere.
"This tripod is not heavy, it is more than 4,000 catties, and if we can lift it, there is nothing wrong with us kneeling."
