Chapter Seventy-Six: The Seven Monkeys of the Tang Sect
The man at the door bowed his hand and said, "This senior knows us?" Know your father-in-law? I don't know the name of my predecessor? The juniors have seen the ceremony. ”
Lao Wu put down his wine glass and said lazily: "Old man, I am just an unknown person, but the name of your third master of the Tang Sect is well-known!" In addition, you're the 'Seven Sons of the Tang Sect', although they are all young descendants, but I have heard of your name in the past ten years. ”
"The Seven Monkeys of the Tang Sect?"
Although Shao Xi didn't say it, he wondered in his heart, how could someone on this river and lake call others like this?
"Tang Ming, the third son of the Lower Tang Sect, I know that it is really abrupt to break in today, but I have a few words I want to ask this son."
"It turned out to be Tang Ming, the third son of the Tang family in 'Qingfeng Mingyue Drunken Qionglou', I don't know why the third son is looking for my young master?"
Tang Ming heard that Lao Wu called Shao Xi "Young Master", and his face was slightly surprised, when would the servants in the family be able to eat at the same table with their own young master? I don't know which young master is so generous and treats his subordinates so kindly?
However, looking at Lao Wu's bearing and tone of voice, he knows that he is a senior in the rivers and lakes, so the young master in his mouth is not an idle person, and he must have some background.
"The younger generation came rashly, in fact, he wanted to make a deal with this son."
When Shao Xi heard Tang Ming's words, he immediately became interested. Xin said that the eight or nine that he had guessed before were not far from ten, and this person really came for what he had in his hand, but it still depends on what he said.
"I wonder what kind of deal you want to make with you? Let's hear it. ”
Tang Ming hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "The gold silk soft armor that Gongzi bought in Taihe Commercial Bank before is called 'soft gold entanglement', and I have been wishing for a long time, but I didn't bring enough money today, so I couldn't buy it. ”
"Resell to you? I wonder how much you're willing to give? Actually, I am not short of money at the moment. ”
Tang Ming hesitated again, and finally spoke: "I only brought five hundred and fifty gold with me when I went out this time, and I spent two hundred and eighty gold on the purchase of that Heavenly Eye Stone before, so I can only get two hundred and seventy gold at most for this soft armor." ”
Shao Xi couldn't bear to laugh when he heard the price, but secretly said in his heart: "Dude, are you messing with me?" I bought it for 280 gold, you want 270 gold to buy it now, and I have to lose 10 gold after I toss a circle, you are not talking about trading, you are taking advantage of it! ”
However, Shao Xi didn't say what he thought in his heart, but just asked lightly, "Is there any reason that can convince me?" ”
Tang Ming said with a little embarrassment: "I know that the price is low, but there is indeed no extra money on my body at the moment, but I can promise to do one thing for my son, as long as it is not the kind of thing that violates the morality of the rivers and lakes and hurts heaven and reason, I am willing to work for my son in exchange." ”
"For just ten gold, are you willing to do one thing for me? Including homicide? ”
"I'm not a killer, and I'm not killing people for money, since Childe mentioned it, then it depends on who is killed, if it's the person who should be killed, there will be no hesitation in the next."
Shao Xi saw that this person was quite principled, and he would not have no bottom line in order to achieve his goal.
couldn't help but tease at Tang Ming: "If it's a person who should be killed, I'll do it myself, so why bother to find you to kill it?" But now that you are willing to promise to do something for me for the things you like, I don't know what you are willing to do for the Tianyan Stone? ”
When Tang Ming heard this, he was slightly surprised, "Could it be that the Tianyan Stone at the auction was sold by Gongzi?" Or is there any other Tianyan Stone in Childe's hand? If so, everything is negotiable. ”
"You value the Tianyan Stone so much, I don't think it's for the sake of collecting, could it be that the martial arts you have cultivated have a great demand for this thing?"
Shao Xi actually asked knowingly, the people in the Tang Sect mainly practiced the secret weapon technique, and the most important thing about this secret weapon technique was eyesight. The effect of the eye stone on this day has been very clear to the shopkeeper Cao before, and at this time, he just wants to confirm it again.
"Don't hide it from the son, the martial arts practiced in the next place have extremely high requirements for eyesight, and this Tianyan Stone just helps the cultivation of eyesight, but this thing is too rare, if the son still has it in his hand, no matter how much the price is in the next one, he is willing to pay."
"Oops! This is a bit troublesome, I'm afraid you won't be able to take this one at any cost, even if your Tang Sect has a prominent reputation in the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid you have never seen this thing. ”
When Tang Ming heard Shao Xi's words, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. Thinking that the ancestor of the Tang Sect established the Jingyuan Dynasty because of his help to Xiao Baiting, the first ancestor of Jingyuan, and received the grace of knighthood for generations, what kind of treasures have not been seen since childhood? If you really say that you haven't seen it, you can only think of the "Nine-Eyed Heavenly Stone" that you have heard its name and never seen it, and you have been looking for it.
"Is what Childe said ......?"
"Yes, that's exactly what you're thinking."
After speaking, Shao Xi took out the nine-eyed heavenly stone from his waist bag and put it on the table.
When Tang Ming saw the nine-eyed heavenly stone in front of him, his whole person was stunned. He has been seeking for generations of people in the Tang Sect, but he has never gotten this divine stone, and now it appears in the hands of the young man in front of him, and it seems that this young man does not value the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Stone, he just takes it on his body at random and takes it out casually, what kind of person is it who can care about such a treasure?
Tang Ming bowed his hand, bowed to Shao Xi and Lao Wushen, and said earnestly: "Tang Ming, the son of the Lower Tang Sect, hereby implore the two of you for the Tang Sect to leave this thing to the Tang Sect, I know that there is nothing that can make the two of you look at it at the moment, but please believe that the Tang Sect will do everything to exchange this nine-eyed heavenly stone with the two of you." As for the soft armor, I will no longer be entangled in the future, so I will go back and contact a few brothers and sisters to discuss this matter together, and ask Gongzi to take good care of this thing, Tang Ming has thanked the two of them for the Tang Sect here. ”
Lao Wu once said to Shao Xi that the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Stone was a priceless treasure, and today it seems that this statement is indeed true. It's just that what Shao Xi didn't expect was that the Tang Sect attached so much importance to this thing, and it really helped the Tang Sect Secret Weapon Technique a lot.
"I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, I haven't thought about what this thing is going to be exchanged, the gold and silver things are not worthy of it, and I don't know what I want for the rest for a while, so if you want to exchange with me, it's best to get something that impresses me, it's not that I deliberately embarrass you."
Tang Ming arched his hand, "I understand that it is a great favor for the prince to leave this thing to us, as for how to exchange, it is not too late to make a decision after I go back to discuss, but I don't know where to find the two of you in the future." ”
Lao Wu pointed back to the stargazing inn across the street outside the window and said: "After dinner, the two of us will stay at this inn, and if you have something to do, you can come here to find us, but it may not last long, so you had better hurry." ”
"That being the case, the juniors will go to find a few brothers to discuss, and they will definitely come to the inn to find the two later, and the juniors will leave first."
Tang Ming turned around and said to Shao Xi again: "Don't worry, Childe, we are not evil people, we will never move our minds and make some ideas that should not be beaten, Childe only needs to wait at the inn, we will come to look for Childe in the next two days, and we will leave first." ”
Shao Xi said with a smile: "I don't care if you have a bad idea, since I took out the things, if I don't have the ability to keep them, it should be taken by others, but you have to try to know if you can take them away, and you are the same." ”
This sentence is not soft or hard, since the other party said to appease, he feels that he has the ability, so Shao Xi will tell the other party now, you have the ability to take it by yourself, and there is still a warning in it, which also makes the other party jealous, so as not to get into trouble.
How could Tang Ming not understand the meaning of Shao Xi's words? hurriedly said: "What Childe said is that he is thinking too much about it, and he is saying goodbye." ”
"Not anymore."
After seeing Tang Ming turn around and leave the room, Shao Xi turned his head and asked Lao Wu a question, but the question he asked made Lao Wu cry and laugh.
"Tell me quickly, why did you and Daoist Guo say that there were seven monkeys in the Tang Sect? I see that except for this one that looks a bit like a monkey, the tenement building looks quite normal, but I haven't seen anything else, where did the statement of these seven monkeys come from? ”
Lao Wu took a sip of wine in his mouth and squirted out with a smile.
"Stinky boy, what's going on in your head? How can a good title be crooked like this by you? People are talking about the seven sons of the Tang Gate, and they are saying that there are seven children in the Tang Gate who are marquises, how come you become the seven monkeys of the Tang Gate? ”
"Damn, this problem has bothered me for ten years, it turns out to be the seven sons of the Tang Sect, not the seven monkeys of the Tang Sect!"
After Shao Xi listened to Lao Wu's explanation, he couldn't cry or laugh. However, this kind of homophonic stalk seems to have been happening since the crossing, has no one ever paid attention to it?
"There were originally seven marquis in the Tang Sect, no wonder it was so famous. I just don't know how they got knighted? And who are these seven princes? I've only seen a tenement house before, when we were all kids. ”
Lao Wu took a sip of wine and patiently explained to Shao Xi: "Back then, Tang Song, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, helped Xiao Baiting, the first ancestor of Jingyuan, to establish a meritorious service in the country, and was named the king, and at the same time named his son as the founding prince of the county. According to the rules of each generation of demotion to one level, now that the Tang family has reached the fourth generation, Tang Hao, the third eldest of the Tang family, is now only a founding county duke, and as for the seven righteous sons and daughters below him, they have also been demoted to the founding marquis. ”
"Oh, it turns out that the statement of the Seven Princes of the Tang Sect came from here, but I have only seen two of these seven people, I don't know what kind of people the other few are? I'd like to see you when you have the chance. ”
"These seven people are still quite famous in the rivers and lakes in recent years, and they are also rising stars in the rivers and lakes, and the people in the rivers and lakes have written the names of these seven people and their martial arts characteristics in a poem."
Breeze and bright moon drunk Qiong Tower,
There is no shadow to watch the world, and there are thousands of sorrows.
The heart returns with the stars,
Shu out of the Tang Sect seven sons.
"Alas! No matter how it sounds, it's like counting out the seven monkeys of the Tang Gate. ”
"Poof......
