Chapter 90: The Golden Laurel Tree
Holding the letter of recommendation, Shen Yun sat cross-legged on a shady mountain rock, blowing the cool mountain breeze, and carefully recognizing what had just happened.
Who is Li Tang?
The tone in which he mentioned Master was exactly the same as when Master mentioned the Pavilion Master.
Could it be that he is also one of the descendants of the Five Veins, and he is also a descendant of the Heavenly God Sect?
Soon, Shen Yun frowned and said to himself, "No, it's not." ”
Because he could hear it, Li Tang admired Pei Dashuai very much. Moreover, he can know so much insider, and he is by no means a so-called well-informed person.
He is simply from the Immortal Mansion!
And, in the Immortal Mansion, he is in an important position!
Yes, after the Five Veins Descendant and the Heavenly God Sect, how could he do things for the Immortal Mansion?
And so it is. As far as he knows, from the patriarch to the Taishi ancestor...... When it comes to the master, there is also the hall master, they either hate the immortal mansion to the bone and want to destroy it quickly, or they are wise to protect themselves and stay away from the immortal mansion.
Thinking of this, Shen Yun looked down at the letter of recommendation in his hand, and said in his heart: If it is not one of the five veins, why would Li Tang repeatedly emphasize that he has a relationship with my master and is so good to me?
The recommendation book is fluttering, and the envelope is looking for the usual, and there are six big ink-colored characters written on the envelope, "Yuning Dao Chang personally opened".
However, with it, you can enter the new martial arts hall without taking the exam.
It's tantamount to a big chance!
Li Tang gave him a great opportunity, but with the attitude of the elders to mention his sons and nephews, he had nothing to ask for!
"Ah——, who the hell is he!" Shen Yun couldn't guess when he thought of the headache.
He sat for nearly an afternoon, watching the sun set in the west and the sky swelled with magnificent fiery clouds.
"Well, it's a rare opportunity! Take a step, count it as a step. Anyway, I'm alone, and apart from this life, there is nothing to make a calculation!" Shen Yun sighed, got up and carefully put the recommendation into his arms, and put it away.
When I returned to the pharmacy, it was close to curfew.
As soon as Shen Yun walked to the corner of the street, he saw Guo Zi's figure swaying, pulling his legs and running into the shop. While running, he waved his hand and shouted: "It's back, it's back!
Shen Yun couldn't help but have black lines on his head - what kind of song is this!
Immediately, Boss Wu took the corner of his robe and ran out first.
Behind him, there were many shopkeepers, Mr. Qin, Da Jiang and Guo Zi.
If it weren't for seeing their faces full of joy, Shen Yun almost thought that he had caused a big disaster!
"Brother Yun, you're back!" In the blink of an eye, Boss Wu ran to him and climbed his shoulder affectionately, "Today, I ordered a table of wine from Wuwei Zhai! Everyone is here, but you haven't come back yet." ”
Wuwei Zhai is the largest and best restaurant in the province. Shen Yun blinked his eyes and said in his heart: "It's a festival today?"
Subsequently, the shopkeeper Wu and several of them also surrounded him.
"Brother Yun!"
"It's back!"
Everyone was beaming, even happier than the New Year's holiday.
"Well, I'm back. Shen Yun nodded stunned, and was crowded into the store by everyone in confusion.
Dongjiacheng does not deceive people.
As soon as you enter the gate, the smell of food comes to your nose.
Shen Yun blew the mountain wind on the top of the mountain for an afternoon, and only ate four white-flour steamed buns in total. Where can you resist such a fragrant smell to seduce?
"Grunt", for a while, the bowels sounded like thunder.
He was embarrassed.
"Hahaha......" Boss Wu smiled happily, "Brother Yun has been running around outside for a day, this is an empty stomach!
At this time, it was already past the meal. Everyone is hungry, okay!
So, in a burst of laughter, everyone gathered around.
"Brother Yun, you must sit here today. Boss Wu insisted on pulling Shen Yun to sit on the head, and then announced loudly, "Tomorrow morning, we will have a half-day holiday! Come, come, close the door of the shop. Sit down, everybody, and have a good drink!"
In other words, Dae and Guo Zi, who usually can't be served, can also sit down and eat wine and food today!
This is a treatment that is not available during the New Year's Festival!
"Yes, the owner!" Da Jiang and Guo Zi responded loudly, and ran to close with a smoke.
After a while, everyone was seated around the table.
Shen Yun was still confused, looking forward to the owner revealing the mystery as soon as possible. So much so that a table full of good wine and food also lost its color, and it couldn't arouse his appetite for the time being.
Boss Wu personally poured him a cup of fruit wine: "Brother Yun, you are still young, you can't drink." This fruit wine is specially given to children by Wuwei Zhai. You taste it. ”
Shen Yun took it with both hands: "Owner, you're polite." ”
"You're welcome, you've saved the shop, you've saved my family, shouldn't I pour you a glass of wine?" Boss Wu said gratefully.
Seeing the confusion on Shen Yun's face, the shopkeeper Wu explained with a smile: "Brother Yun, in the afternoon, the official who came yesterday personally sent Ah Ming's ashes to the shop, and said that the case has been closed. The proprietor gave him the carriage fee, but he didn't want it. ”
Next to him, Mr. Qin nodded again and again: "It's like the owner gives not a silver ticket, but a red-hot charcoal fire." When the official saw the silver ticket, his face changed. Said 'goodbye' and ran fast!"
I see. Shen Yun suddenly realized and said, "Brother Aming, he was confused that night. After being thrown out of Yuchun Courtyard, he still didn't give up. He went around to the alley behind Yuchun Courtyard and tried to climb into Yuchun Courtyard. As a result, the ...... of Lord Chincha The guards, found him. Armingo, uh, was treated like an assassin. ”
He tried to get things done.
The jumping corpse is too terrifying;
Moreover, at the top of the West Mountain, although Li Tang told him the truth, the meaning of sealing could not be more obvious. The people in the Miaoshou Hall are all untouchables, and to put it bluntly, their lives are like mustards. If there is a hint of rumors about this matter, those present here, as well as their relatives, can only be extinguished in addition to being extinguished!
Therefore, he suddenly realized: sometimes, hiding the truth is not deception. In fact, it is a kind of protection.
Just by climbing a wall, his heart was gouged out alive! Then, like a dead dog, his body was displayed on the street! Guo Zi covered his chest, and his face changed suddenly: "Ahhh......h
Shopkeeper Wu glanced at him sideways and intercepted the words behind him: "Eat vegetables!"
Boss Wu put down the wine cup, looked around at everyone, and said, "We can still sit here today to drink good wine and eat good food, all because Brother Yun is out for us." Can we afford to talk about Lord Qincha's actions? Everyone, we can't heal the scars and forget the pain, and waste Brother Yun'er's hard work in vain. From now on, Amin's affairs will be rotten in everyone's stomach. After I go back, I can't even reveal a word in front of my wife and children!"
"Yes, host. "Everyone was awe-inspired.
Boss Wu said again: "Regarding Ah Ming's death, I have a statement here, and everyone will follow my words in the future." Amin was drunk outside and drowned in a ditch. By the time it was found, the body was already soaked. On such a hot day, it is difficult to converge, so it can only be cremated. As he spoke, he looked at the shopkeeper Wu, "Turn around, you pay five taels of silver from the account, along with the ashes, and send someone to send it to Ah Ming's house." We are also considered to have done our best. ”
"Yes, host. "Shopkeeper Wu should go down, "Ah Ming is seeking death by himself, causing us a lot of trouble." Fortunately, with Brother Yun'er, we and the old and young in the family were able to escape death and be safe and sound. The owner can still send five taels of silver in his house, and my old Wu has nothing to say. The owner is benevolent!"
"The owner is benevolent!" Mr. Qin and the three of them also echoed.
Boss Wu waved his hand: "This matter is over." In the future, don't mention it again. As he spoke, he picked up the wine cup, "Come on, come on, let's all respect Brother Yun." Thank you for your great kindness, Brother Yun, in the future, wherever you can get my Wu Jiadong, you just have to tell me. Going up the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire, if I, Wu Jiadong, frowned, I would not have been raised by people. ”
Shen Yun hurriedly raised his glass and thanked him: "Boss, it's serious." He probably guessed that it was Li Tang who spoke in the Immortal Mansion. Naturally, they didn't dare to jump up and make a name for themselves. Therefore, when it comes to repaying his kindness, he himself feels ashamed.
He was not allowed to refuse, and Shopkeeper Wu and others also toasted one after another. They and Boss Wu both have the same meaning: in the future, they will be sent alone.
Who said that fruit wine is not intoxicating? That night, Shen Yun drank as much as a bucket, leaned against the wall, and then returned to the house.
The rest of the people were even more drunk than him, though. On the wine table alone, two were turned over on the spot - Mr. Qin and Guo Zi.
The Marshal's Mansion, the former study.
Bei Dashuai raised his eyes and asked, "Have you sealed your mouth?"
Li Tang sat on the first Taishi chair at the bottom left, nodded and replied, "Well, he is very smart and knows what to do." ”
Bei Dashuai smiled: "You don't have a spiritual root, and your martial arts qualifications are mediocre, do you really want to get someone to the new martial arts hall? Aren't you afraid that he will be bullied? At least the old man can't see that you are exalting him. ”
Li Tang hehe: "If he wants to go himself, I will fulfill him." That's all, nothing else. ”
Bei Dashuai got up, walked out from behind the bookcase, and waved his hand: "Let's go, accompany the old man to go outside." ”
"Marshal, please. Li Tang got up and followed him.
The two of them went out of the study and went out into the small garden.
Seeing the golden laurel tree next to him, Bei Dashuai suddenly sighed with emotion: "This golden laurel tree is sick." ”
Li Tang looked closely: "Well, under the bark, there are insects." ”
"Originally, if you kill the moths under the bark, you can cure this old tree. Bei Dashuai walked over and raised his hand to caress the vigorous trunk, "However, some people want to cut this tree by the roots and plant another one in this tree pit." ”
Li Tang raised his eyebrows - Dashuai is playing on the topic, alluding to the rebels, and some people.
Pei Dashuai looked up at the thick trunk again: "If the roots are cut off, where will the many branches and leaves live? Can they still live? Plant another tree, and then sprout new branches, who can guarantee that there will be no more moths? Also, who doesn't want to live? What does righteousness and Taoism have to do with the common branches and leaves of this tree? The old man thought that they just wanted to live. Even if you are destined to eat bran vegetables all your life, you will do nothing. ”
Turning around, he looked at Li Tang, his eyes were like candles: "It can be seen how ridiculous those people's ideas are!"
"So, the handsome troubled times use heavy canons, just to cure this tree?" Li Tang said with a smile, "And the students of the new martial arts hall will become the insect catchers that the handsome has worked hard to cultivate?"
Unexpectedly, Bei Dashuai waved his hand: "Catching insects is a thankless task, but the old man will do it well." Looking at the dense canopy of trees, his eyes burst into a multicolored light, especially brilliant in the dark night, "They are the strongest branches." Because of them, the tree will flourish and will no longer be sick and weak. One day, it will grow into a towering tree standing between heaven and earth, with a solid foundation and a long history of Taoism!"
Li Tang took a step forward and looked at the golden laurel tree in front of him with infinite longing: "I am also looking forward to such a day!"
