Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The whole Xiong Mansion moved all of a sudden, and the family members were busy packing up their things, although they were busy, they showed a hint of joy on their faces, which was not commensurate with the white funeral atmosphere.

Zhong Shaoxuan said to Meng Shuai: "There is a big matter in their house, and they can't take care of anything else for a while, you go back first." ”

Meng Shuai squeezed all the way with the flow of people and squeezed out of the main entrance.

But outside the main gate, there was a crowd of black people, most of whom were small families, standing with their hands tied at the door, but there was a circle of townspeople watching the excitement outside.

There was a group of carriages parked in front of the gate, two big men in front of them, and a tall horse in the center, sitting a young man in brocade clothes, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was not very old, but his demeanor was faintly a little mighty.

Meng Shuai wanted to go back, but when he saw the excitement, he couldn't help but feel like an onlooker, so he pulled a small guy over and said, "Ask, who is that?"

The little guy didn't recognize him, he just watched the lively naughty boy, and he also had the heart to show off, and said happily: "That's our third young master of the Guo family, the Guo family, you know no, the Guo family in Guo Jiabao." ”

Meng Shuai let out an "oh", and then remembered that he had a vague impression.

Gualingdu is a small town, and the town of Negative Guo is called Shatuokou, which is the largest border fortress in Liangzhou and a major center of martial arts in Liangzhou. In Shatuokou, the forces of martial arts are intertwined, and there are also top-level and powerful forces, one is the Shatuo Gang, which specializes in trade routes inside and outside the mouth, and the other is the Golden Dao Guo family of Guojiabao, the first powerful local powerhouse.

The Golden Dao Guo family is rich and powerful, and its martial arts are also very famous in Liangzhou, and the Haoqiang clan is worthy of its name. In contrast, the big shipowner of the Xiongjia ferry port is a little inadequate for them.

Meng Shuaiqi said: "The aftermath of the old shipowner, will the Guo family send someone to condole?"

The little guy said: "Of course, our aunt and grandmother back then were the wife of Master Guo." At the moment, he talked endlessly, and gave a general idea of the origin of Guo Xiong's two families.

It turned out that Guo Liangsheng, the owner of Guojiabao Fort, and the old shipowner were originally the same age, but after the original match died, he married the old shipowner's youngest daughter Xiong as a continuation. Of course, it is aggrieved for a young girl to marry a half-grown old man, but in terms of the status of the two families, it is the Xiong family.

Mrs. Xiong entered Guojiabao and gave birth to a boy and a girl, the third young master Guo Baopu and the third young lady Guo Baocha who came today, but they soon became ill and died more than ten years ago, and the two families broke off contact, and even the nephew and niece of the Xiong family did not come to the door for many years. But when the people of the Xiong family mentioned it, they were still proud of this relative.

When Meng Shuai heard this, his eyes turned to Guo Baopu, but he saw that he was wearing a blue brocade robe, with a purse and jade pendant hanging from his waist, although the color of the clothes was also plain, but he went to his grandfather's house to mourn, did not wear a little filial piety, and wore silk clothes, wouldn't it be rude? As for Guo Baocha in the carriage, maybe it was everyone's girlfriend, who was unwilling to show his face, and never got out of the carriage.

I saw the lord of the Xiong family, the current mayor of the town, with his eldest son, the young man Meng Shuai saw just now. Although in filial piety, I can't be full of spring breeze, but I can see that I am also very happy.

That Guo Baopu only waited until Master Xiong arrived in front of the horse, then dismounted, and did not salute, and said a few words of greetings with a cold expression. On the contrary, it was Master Xiong who spoke affectionately, almost hooking his shoulders, and he didn't look like an elder. As soon as he said a few words, he heard an exclamation from the crowd.

As soon as the curtain of the carriage moved, a civet cat sprang out and immediately disappeared into the crowd. As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lifted, a plain-clothed figure pounced out and shouted, "Anu, don't run!"

Meng Shuai stood in the corner, irrelevant, but saw a gray figure pounce on him, he subconsciously stretched out his hand, and had already grabbed a big furry thing in his arms. The hairy thing kept writhing, Meng Shuai didn't pay attention to it for a while, scratched it, and scratched three blood marks on his face.

Meng Shuai was furious, stretched out his hand to jam the hairy thing, and was about to throw it out, when he saw a girl rush to the front, stretched out her hand to grab Meng Shuai's face, and shouted: "Anu, come back quickly." ”

Meng Shuai was so shocked by her that she let go, and the flower cat in her hand had already "snorted" and got into the girl's arms, and the girl hugged the flower cat with a smile and said, "Great." ”

Meng Shuai raised his head and took a picture with the girl.

I don't know if it's Meng Shuai's psychological effect, the first feeling that the girl gave her was a cat-like woman.

The languid demeanor, the eyes like thin threads and the slightly curled head, all reminded of a tanuki, and although the girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, she had the charm of a grown woman.

In addition, she is not good-looking, at most she is more than a person.

This girl is Guo Baocha?

The girl didn't talk to anyone, but hugged the civet all the way and said to herself, "Cat, Anu, what are you running? In the blink of an eye, he had returned to the carriage and sat back in a flash.

The scene was very embarrassing.

The one that just made trouble, although it was just a small episode, was a laughing thing in normal times, but now it is not usual.

Xiong Mansion is holding a funeral, and the Guo family brothers and sisters are here to mourn their grandfather.

Is this here to mourn?

You're here to smash the field, right?

Thanks to Meng Shuai for intercepting the civet dog, if it breaks into the mourning hall all the way and looks at Guo Baocha's shelf, will it also break into the mourning hall and play a real "hide and seek"?

If this is the case, the funeral of Mayor Xiong has become a joke.

Everyone present looked embarrassed, except for the Guo brothers and sisters.

Guo Baopu looked calm, ignoring everything his sister was doing, and only said, "Uncle, I'm going to hold a banquet tonight." ”

Master Xiong was stunned, and only said after a while: "Ah, oh, of course, I will naturally prepare a banquet in the evening to catch the wind and wash the dust for the third young master and the third girl." ”

Guo Baopu shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhang Luo." Originally, I was in for a treat, but where is the biggest restaurant here?"

Master Xiong said embarrassedly: "This, the town is too small, there are only two restaurants, selling some village mash, not to mention restaurants." ”

Guo Baopu's look of disgust flashed on his face, and he said, "Then borrow a hall from my uncle's house." The local three old and four young, the squire is rich, I want to invite them all. Uncle help me arrange it. I'm tired and want to sleep for a while. As he spoke, he strode through the door. The carriage attendants followed one after another.

The crowd gradually dispersed, Meng Shuai's face twitched beside him, and he said in his heart: This nephew meeting is really nonsense.

Since it is a banquet for local wealthy families, the Zhong family is also the leader of local craftsmen, so they are naturally among the invitees. The old man of the Zhong family would not attend such a meeting at all, so naturally Zhong Shaoxuan went.

By the time the shift was set, when Zhong Shaoxuan came back from the banquet, Meng Shuai had already punched and kicked twice.

Zhong Shaoxuan obviously drank a lot of wine and was full of alcohol, so he poured two bowls of hot soup and rinsed his mouth when he went home, and sat in Meng Shuai's small courtyard to watch him practice. waited until the practice break before asking, "Second brother, are you interested in going to Guojiabao to learn art?"

Meng Shuai blurted out, "What?"

Zhong Shaoxuan said: "Guo Jiabao." Today, Guo Baopu mentioned at the banquet that he would take a few qualified children in the town and bring them back to Guojiabao to learn art. Although the Guo family is not as good as the Snow Desert King's famous martial arts, they are rich and rich, with a lot of resources, and secondly, their family's Fuhu Divine Fist and Mountain Opening Knife Technique are still quite impressive. ”

Meng Shuai shook his head and said, "I don't want to go." The Guo brothers and sisters seem to lack a tutor, and their family style must be wrong. ”

Zhong Shaoxuan said happily: "Since you see this clearly, it seems that you are much more sensible. In fact, I also think that their family is not good, and it is not a place where you can learn skills in a down-to-earth manner. However, it is also an opportunity for the children in the town, hoping that two children from poor families but with good qualifications can use this opportunity to change their fate. He paused and said, "Don't say anything about the improper family style just now, otherwise it will seem that our family has no tutor." ”

Meng Shuai smiled and said, "I know, do I know that I am the one who chews the root of my tongue?" suddenly moved in his heart, and said: "So Guo Baopu came here to gather power, and condolences are just excuses?"

Zhong Shaoxuan nodded and said, "That's it." I heard that several young masters of the Guo family have begun to set up their own doors, and they all need the help of the doormen. Guo Baopu's trip is to see if we have any suitable children here who can be used in the future. ”

Meng Shuai said disdainfully: "Then it won't be shouting at the gate." It's ugly to eat. ”

Zhong Shaoxuan said: "The style of the Guo family is like this, if it is not the same family, where is the etiquette or something......? Okay, let's not mention the Guo family. Let's talk about the Xiong family. He looked solemn and said, "Take out your set of iron lotus seeds and let me take a look." ”

"Smack-"

There was a crunch. The iron lotus seed was precisely submerged into the sandbag, leaving only a small hole. The sand in the bag came out with a rattle.

Meng Shuai watched from the side and praised: "Good finger power!"

Zhong Shaoxuan stood in the middle of the field, looking at his hand and pointing to God, he had just popped out an iron lotus seed with his index finger, which directly penetrated the cowhide sandbag.

"No, it's not. Zhong Shaoxuan shook his head and said, "My strength is not that great." Even if you go all out, it won't have such a powerful effect. It's the problem with this iron lotus seed. He took out an iron lotus seed, shone it in the moonlight, and after a while, said, "Second brother, you can also come and have a look." ”

Meng Shuai walked over, took an iron lotus seed, and learned that Zhong Shaoxuan had been shining on the moon for a long time, but when he saw the black and swarthy iron bumps, nothing special, he said, "What?"

Zhong Shaoxuan said: "Don't you see any difference?"

Meng Shuai said: "I didn't see it, you saw it?"

Zhong Shaoxuan said: "I didn't see it either. ”

Meng Shuai let out a breath and said, "That's no longer playing." ”

Zhong Shaoxuan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's normal not to see it, because you, like me, don't have this talent." ”

Meng Shuai said in his heart: "You have no talent, so what are you laughing at? Is it very glorious?" and asked, "Which talent?"

Zhong Shaoxuan said: "That's a special group of people who are independent of martial artists, called sealers. That's a bunch of ...... Amazing people. He took the iron lotus seeds, let out a long sigh, and said with a little emotion and excitement on his face, "I didn't expect that I would get a set of sealed blades just by casually. ”

Meng Shuai said in his heart: Is there any mistake, this profession sounds a little mysterious, right?

Zhong Shaoxuan said: "I don't know much either, I just know that they are a group of people above everyone." They can create blades and artifacts with magical powers, they also have the ability to transform the strange things generated by heaven and earth, and they also have their own independent and powerful martial arts - or not martial arts, special abilities. In short, it is a person hidden in the mist, which is extremely rare in the red dust. There may not be one out of 10,000 people. ”

He raised the iron lotus seed in his hand and said, "This is the sealing weapon." If you look closely, you will see that after this iron lotus seed leaves your hand, it not only flies forward, but also spins like a spinning top. ”

Meng Shuai said: "While flying forward, while rotating?

Zhong Shaoxuan said: "There are special shooting techniques that can cause such an effect. But I didn't use it just now, and you didn't use it in the Xiong family. This is a special effect attached to the seal, which directly draws your internal force to push. Because it is flying and spinning, after hitting the object, it will drill into it like a drill, and a dozen will be a blood hole, in order to increase the size of the tenfold? This set of iron lotus seeds is taken out and sold, at least worth 10,000 taels of silver. ”

Meng Shuai was startled and said, "How much is that?"

Zhong Shaoxuan said: "It's money that you can't spend in your next life." He collected the twenty-four iron lotus seeds, put them into Meng Shuai's arms together, and admonished: "This thing must be put away, don't take it out and use it." One is that you can't use it well, this thing absorbs too much internal force, hurting both others and yourself, if you don't practice the Tiangang Treasure Technique, you must not go out at will. The second is that this thing is too precious, and the husband is not guilty, and you must understand the truth of guilt. ”

Meng Shuai said: "I understand. In my heart, I was even more grateful to Zhong Shaoxuan - everyone knew that this thing was a treasure, how could Zhong Shaoxuan not know it? It was really rare to leave it to his brother without hesitation.

Zhong Shaoxuan said: "Today's matter is really risky, if it is not Xiong Shuo who is dealing with it, but an adult who is skilled in martial arts, as long as you dodge it, you will not be able to hurt people, and you will have to expose good things." He hesitated, and said, "Why did you get into a fight with that child?"

Meng Shuai exhaled angrily: "I also think it's strange, he shouted at me first." What a bear child. Haha, he happens to be surnamed Xiong, and his surname is no longer right. In a few words, he said the cause and effect, and said, "Who is Xiong Shun, and what does it have to do with me?"

Zhong Shaoxuan said: "I see, he is too extreme. Xiong Shun, you really don't remember? When the earth shook that day, you were in the house, and he came in to look for you, and he was buried together. You and Shui Lao are alive, but he is gone. Xiong Shuo must have been heartbroken for the death of his brother, and he didn't know who to blame, so he blamed you for the matter. ”

Meng Shuai thought for a long time before remembering that it might have been the day he crossed over.

I thought that the predecessor had created some evil, but I didn't expect it to be Xiong Shuo finding fault.

It was easy for him to crawl out of the ruins, and his predecessor died early, and he didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, so he was blamed by others, and he could only say that the disaster came from heaven.

Zhong Shaoxuan advised: "Don't go to Xiong Mansion these two days, first, Xiong Shuo has been living there for the past few days, and secondly, the selection meeting of Guojiabao will be held there, since you don't plan to go, don't go forward to work." ”
