Chapter 4 Pillar Hold Letter (5)
Shen Lingshan said in a low voice: "It's noisy here, I have a headache, let's go back." The two returned to Bai Yixue's guest room and sat down to talk. The high-rollers in the front hall guessed the gambling and drinking, and the laughter and laughter faintly entered the room, and Bai Yixue said with a smile: "In the inn tonight, many people are afraid that it will be difficult to sleep peacefully." ”
Shen Lingshan saw that the corners of his lips were slightly raised, revealing a row of white teeth, and it was rare to sweep away the gloom between his eyebrows for many days, as bright as a star, and sighed lightly in his heart: "The way you smile is so good-looking." He asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Bai Yixue said with a smile: "Do you think, if you are in the same store as the world's first thief, if you don't have a little vigilance at night, and sleep like a dead pig as usual, get up tomorrow morning to count your belongings, I'm afraid you will even have the heart to die." ”
Shen Lingshan chuckled: "As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves." It's best for everyone to hold their babies in their arms tonight, widen their eyes, and wait for dawn. ”
Bai Yixue laughed, touched the pouch on her waist, gave a deep salute to Shen Ling's shirt, and said: "The wealth is not exposed, thank you girl for your kind reminder, it seems that I can only sleep with these silver ingots tonight." ”
Shen Lingshan said with a smile: "Walking on the rivers and lakes, even if the person with great ability is, he doesn't want to easily offend this Ling Da master, who still has a grudge against his money?"
Bai Yixue stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "What the girl said is extremely true. ”
Shen Lingshan said: "In fact, their business is very finely divided. The 'Xiaoxiang faction' of Sikong Beiqiu Lao'er is engaged in robbing yin houses, turning over meat dumplings for a living, and robbing tombs and digging graves, which is only one of its major branches. Another example is called 'daytime breaking', these people are very bold, specializing in stealing in broad daylight, if they meet the head of the township and the elderly, they are not afraid, and draw their swords against each other. Taking advantage of the fact that the sky is bright and people are asleep, those who enter the house to steal are called 'stepping on the early green'. I heard that the most powerful pregreen character, even the palace dares to steal it, and the emperor is helpless. ”
Shen Lingshan has traveled with Shen Chong since he was a child, visiting doctors and collecting medicines. The people she has made friends with are quite complex, and she knows a lot about these anecdotes on the rivers and lakes.
Bai Yixue listened with relish, and said with a smile: "I don't know if this 'Thousand-Handed Spirit Ape' is a powerful character? Could it be that he also dares to go to the palace to take a look?"
Shen Ling's eyes sheared, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this 'Thousand-Handed Spirit Ape', he is the king of thieves, even if it is a forbidden place in the palace, he still comes and goes freely." I heard that once in Lin'an Mansion, Ling Zhaoxu met the head of the 'Golden Knife Gate'. Although Qian Tongshen is rich and enjoys all the delicacies of the world, he has never eaten the emperor's imperial meal. Qian Tongshen knew that he was empty-handed, so he made a big bet with him, if Ling Zhaoxuan could steal food from the palace kitchen, Qian Tongshen would give him a 3,000 acres of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
Bai Yixue's eyes widened, and she said, "Three thousand acres of fertile land?"
Shen Lingshan said with a smile: "Yes, Qian Tongshen has a good surname, and the last thing he lacks in this life is money." After hearing that the gambling contract was made, on the third day, he handed over the title deed of the 3,000 acres of fertile land to Ling Zhaoxu's hands, and said that the 3,000 acres of fertile land were exchanged for a table of exquisite and delicious imperial meals, which were reasonably bought and sold at a fair price. ”
"The land is the foundation of government. Therefore, the land can be right-governed. "Since the Qin and Han dynasties, successive dynasties have attached great importance to land policy. Before the Zhao and Song dynasties, the imperial court strictly suppressed the annexation of land and forbade private land sales. The tuntian system practiced by the Han Dynasty and the Sui and Tang dynasties were both state-owned land systems, so as to prevent land from being highly concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, thus breeding many problems such as the emptiness of the treasury and social unrest, and endangering the foundation of the society. However, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything, and the nationalization of land and the prohibition of private buying and selling have also greatly restricted the development of the intensive economy and inhibited and delayed the indiscriminate development and prosperity of industry and commerce.
When Taizu Zhao Kuangyin founded the People's Republic of China, he established the system of private property rights of land, adopted the land policy of "not suppressing annexation", recognized and protected the legitimacy of private property rights of land, and commercialized land, and allowed land to be transferred and sold in the market. Not only did the people buy and sell land, but even the Song Dynasty government itself also participated in it, and they never tired of it, and the public land trade was very popular, so that there was a situation of "exchanging land for 800 lords in a thousand years", "the rich and the poor have no fixed situation, the fields and houses have no fixed owners, and if they have money, they will buy, and if they have no money, they will sell". Land transactions are so frequent that the title deed, which is used as a tax payment certificate for land transactions, can be said to be very popular. However, Qian Tongshen exchanged a land deed of 3,000 acres of fertile land for a meal, which is indeed an "unprecedented" record, and whether it is also "no one who will come after" is not examinable.
Bai Yixue stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "No matter how rare the imperial meal is, even if it is a dragon and a phoenix, it is only a few hundred taels of silver, and this Qian master is really generous." The head of Ling Da easily earned 3,000 acres of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, and this business is very cost-effective. ”
Shen Lingshan said with a smile: "If you only talk about the kung fu of flying eaves and walls, exploring bags and fetching things, Sikong Lao'er can only be regarded as Ling Zhaoxu's apprentice and grandson at most. Do you think, the palace is strictly forbidden, how can you be allowed to come and go easily? ”
The two talked and laughed for a while, Shen Lingshan saw that the white clothes were smiling, but there was always a trace of sadness between his eyebrows, and his heart moved, and he said: "Tomorrow we will be able to rush to Tangjiabao, and in a few days it will be Tangmen's 'catching fish' conference." There are so many people in Tangjiabao at once, and they are bound to be heavily guarded, and I don't know how many times stronger than usual, I don't know what you plan to do in your heart?"
One of the most important institutions of the Tang Gate is the "Medicine Crossbow Room", and the forging of hidden weapons and the development of poisons in the door are all managed by the Medicine Crossbow Room. The heavy door of the medicine crossbow room was struck, and the mechanism was heavy, leaving only an entrance closed by an iron door weighing several tons, and the lock and key of the iron door were in the shape of a fish. The two sects of Xianzong and Tantra have been fighting for decades, and it is the fish-like lock key of this medicine crossbow room that they want to fight, so the people in the Tang Sect call the martial arts conference and the "catch fish" conference.
Since the two of them traveled west, they have suffered from the hardships of detention and travel, and Bai Yixue saw that Shen Ling's shirt was weak, and she didn't want her to worry, so she was careful along the way, never mentioning the antidote, but when she was alone, she thought hard and meditated. Shen Lingshan also understood his antidote to Buddha Touqing, and he was always concerned about it, but he didn't have a good plan, so he didn't mention it. The two talked and chatted in their spare time, and they talked about everything, but they rarely mentioned the Buddha head green antidote. Now that Tangjiabao is close at hand, how to obtain the antidote to Buddha's head green is a topic that can no longer be bypassed.
Bai Yixue groaned slightly, and said: "Buddha head green is the unique poison of the Tang Sect, and most of its antidote is also in the medicine crossbow room, but with such a heavy land, it is impossible to forcibly take the Ming and seize it." However, it coincided with the martial arts competition, and the Tangjiabao people had many hands, which was not a bad opportunity. Tomorrow we will enter Tangjiabao, let's learn from the changes and act again. ”
Shen Lingshan said: "It's okay, but most of these martial arts people are invited by the Tang Sect, and you and I don't have an invitation, I'm just afraid that tomorrow we won't even be able to enter the gate of the Tang Family Fort." ”
Bai Yixue said: "What the girl said is very true, most of the Tang Sect's invitations are old friends, and you and me, who have nothing to do with each other, I'm afraid you can't get close." I wonder what the girl has in mind?"
Shen Lingshan said with a smile: "I just thought of a way, but I don't know if it will work." ”
Bai Yixue was thinking hard about this matter, and when she heard this, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she said happily: "Oh, girl Bingxue is smart, her idea must be excellent, I would like to hear about it." ”
Shen Lingshan's starry eyes flowed, smiled, and said: "You don't have to put a high hat on me first, whether my method can work or not, the key depends on you." ”
Bai Yixue smiled: "Oh, I'm stupid, and I ask the girl to make it clear." ”
Shen Lingshan saw him staring at himself without turning his gaze, his eyes were full of eagerness, his face turned red, he stood up, and said with a smile: "Keep it secret for the time being, we might as well rest for a while, and then we will act later, and then you can do what I say." With that, he opened the door and went back to his next room to rest.
Just after the hour, Bai Yixue was meditating in the room, and he heard someone knocking lightly on the window lattice three times, he opened the door, Shen Lingshan smiled and groaned, stood outside the door, and said softly: "Let's go." Bai Yixue didn't ask much, and tiptoed behind her. Bypassing an aisle, he came to the guest room on the other side of the inn, and when he came to the door of one of the guest rooms, Shen Lingshan stopped. There was light in the room, and the guests had not yet fallen asleep.
Shen Lingshan turned around and said softly: "When he opens the door in a while, you only need to click on his acupoint, and you're almost done." She suppressed her voice, her voice was very low, Bai Yixue had not yet answered, the guests in the room had already heard the sound, and said, "Which friend on the road is visiting late at night?" The door squeaked and was immediately opened from the inside, and under the dim light, the man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, thin and long, was the "thousand-handed spirit ape" Ling Zhaoxu.
Ling Zhaoxu had already been drunk when he raised his lamp to drink before, but the pair of young men and women in front of him didn't know each other, and he couldn't help but feel slightly surprised, and was about to ask, but he saw that the young man was approaching, his fingers were like electricity, and he was numb in his ribs, and he had been hit by the other party. Bai Yixue's right hand instantly grabbed Ling Zhaoxu's waist belt, lifted it lightly, walked into the room, and placed him on the wooden chair. Shen Lingshan also entered the room, gently bolted the door, and praised softly: "What a handsome kung fu!" Bai Yixue smiled slightly and did not speak.
Ling Zhaoxu couldn't be braked, he was suspicious in his heart, and most of his alcohol suddenly woke up. In fact, although he is good at flying eaves and walking walls, pulling sunflowers and eating dates, his hands and feet are not so pustular, and he was subdued by the other party in an instant, first, he and Bai Yixue and Shen Lingshan have never known each other, at first glance, they did not have the intention of vigilance and vigilance, and secondly, after some indulgence in drinking, the body's reaction was slow, compared to the usual "spirit ape" like obedient and clever, and finally it was much more reckless.
Shen Lingshan took out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out an ochre-colored pill, the size of a peanut, and handed it to Bai Yixue. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she nodded to Ling Zhao, who was still stunned. Bai Yixue took the ochre pill, pinched Ling Zhaoxu's cheek with her left hand, and when his mouth opened slightly, she flicked her right finger, and the pill had fallen into his mouth. Bai Yixue's left hand was slightly forced, and with a "grunt", the pill fell down Ling Zhaoxu's throat and esophagus into her abdomen.
Ling Zhaoxu only felt that the pill was slightly fishy, and his mouth was cold, and he had already lost all his alcohol under the fright, and he snorted, "You guys...... You guys...... Be...... Who?"
Shen Lingshan moved a chair with a smile, sat down, and laughed softly: "Master Ling, how does the 'Sorrowful Bone Pill' of the 'Love Sect' taste?"
The word "love education" was said lightly, but when Ling Zhaoxu heard it, it was like five thunders thundering to the top, and he was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he hissed: "What kind of love teaching? What is 'sad love bone pill'?"
Shen Lingshan's face sank slightly, and he said, "Master Ling has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, haven't you heard of the name of my love education?"
Ling Zhaoxu grimaced and said, "I've heard of it...... But I have no grievances with you ...... 'love religion' in recent days, and there is no enmity in the distant future, you ...... Why did you do this?"
Although he had never heard of the Poignant Bone Pill, he also knew that the religion acted viciously, and it was his usual means to force people to swallow it with poison and force them to comply, so he couldn't help but think sharply: "I am cautious on weekdays, and I have never had a little holiday with these demons of 'Love Sect', why do you treat me like this......?" Could it be that he was invited by the enemy to come?" "I was thinking quickly in my heart, but I couldn't think of anyone among the enemy who had a close relationship with the love religion, and who would have such a big gold face, so that he could invite the people of the 'love religion' to stand up for him?
Bai Yixue saw that his eyes were flickering, his mind was moving very quickly, and his face, which was originally slightly drunk and red, turned into ashes at this moment, and he was very surprised, and thought: "I don't know what kind of fame the sister of the Shen family is doing, but she actually pretended to be a person who was a lover and scared him like this." The two had an appointment first, although he felt strange, but he was silent, and watched how Shen Lingshan acted.
Shen Lingshan smiled leisurely and said, "Master Ling, do you know the miraculous effect of my Sentimental Sorrowful Bone Standing Pill?"
Ling Zhaoxuan was dripping with cold sweat, faintly felt a pain in his abdomen, and said, "Ling Mou is not ...... I don't know ......."
Shen Lingshan said: "Actually, it's nothing, that is, when the time comes, if you don't take the antidote of this sect in time, the person who takes the medicine will survive but can't live, and you can't die." Ling Zhaoxu was full of fear, his eyes full of fear. There is a saying in the rivers and lakes: "Destroy the heart and chase the soul, and teach the Tang Sect in love." "The Love Sect was originally a small sect in the south of the Yangtze River, and the leader of the sect was low-key and introverted. As Lao Muwai became old, the affairs of the church were gradually handed over to the deputy sect leader Su Mianchou. After he took power, he formed a relationship with the government, and secretly recruited a large number of good hands in the rivers and lakes. Most of these good players in the new snares of love and religion are ruthless and vicious, and most of the people in the martial arts are afraid to avoid them. Ling Zhaoxu has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and although he has no intersection with the love religion, he has often heard of their powerful methods.
Shen Lingshan said: "Master Ling doesn't need to panic, love and religion have always been clear grievances, believe in righteousness, you only need to rely on me for one thing, after the matter is completed, I will not only give you the antidote, but also ask for credit for you in front of the sect leader, maybe the sect leader and his old man will be happy, and there will be a heavy reward." ”
Ling Zhao humbly scolded in his heart: "Your grandmother, who is rare about your sect leader's reward, why did he harm me so much......?" Honorable envoy, as long as Ling can do it, don't say one, I can rely on a hundred. He knew that the people in the sect were ruthless and perverse, but they were very faithful, and when he heard Shen Lingshan say this, it was like a drowning person who encountered a life-saving straw and held it tightly in his hand, and he refused to let go no matter what, and he saw Shen Lingshan's smile like a flower, and his heart was pounding, and he didn't know what tricky and tricky things she would propose.
Shen Lingshan is finally a young man, seeing such a tycoon as Ling Zhaoxu, his face was full of horror, compared to the previous high-spirited, as if he had changed someone, he smiled secretly in his heart, and said: "Let me ask you, who invited you to appear in Tangjiabao this time?"
Ling Zhao tried his best to calm his mind and said, "Venerable Envoy Qi, ...... At the invitation of Tang Zhuo, the sect leader of the Tang Sect, he came to help. His invitation...... Right in my arms, if you want to see it, the villain...... May it be offered with both hands. ”
He said "respectful envoys" one by one, and it turned out that in recent years, many powerful characters have emerged in the love religion, among which the top ten most famous envoys are a total of ten people, such as "desperate envoys", "qi affectionate envoys", "infatuated envoys", "injured envoys", and "dangerous envoys". Ling Zhaoxuan was a shrewd person, and after being frightened, he was drunk and his mind calmed down, seeing that Shen Lingshan and Bai Yixue were young and young, they thought about their identities in the love religion, and they should respect the top ten envoys who killed the Quartet and were famous, and called them "Honored Envoys", it is expected that there will be no mistakes. It's just that he said that he wanted to "offer the invitation with both hands", but he couldn't move, although he had the heart, he was also powerless.
Shen Lingshan and Bai Yixue had only heard of the love teaching, let alone what the top ten love envoys were, the two of them glanced at each other, and thought in their hearts: "Ling Zhaoxuguo was invited by Tang Zhuo to come to help." Ling Zhaoxu saw that the two of them had strange faces, and his heart suddenly sudden, and said, "Dare to ask the two envoys with the surname Gao, your surname Chu, or Yin?"
Shen Lingshan smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to know the 'Gao surname' of the two of us, and you don't have to read the invitation." Let me ask you, when is the Tangmen martial arts tournament set for, where is it, and how can I go there?"
Ling Zhao was humbly shocked: "Could it be that the demon of the Love Sect is really coming towards the Tang Sect? The Love Sect and the Tang Sect, one in Sichuan and the other in Jiangnan, have never heard of any festivals between them. He said: "Envoy Qi, the martial arts competition is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, the Tang family compound." Those who are invited only need to go with the invitation card of Tangmen, and they will have their own guests to be responsible for receiving them. ”
Shen Lingshan smiled and said, "Very good, very good." The two of us were ordered by the sect master to come here on an errand, but because we were in a hurry, we forgot to bring the invitation. Tomorrow, the head of Lao Ling will go with us, if the guest asks, he only says that we are here to help the boxer, and there is no need to say anything else. ”
Ling Zhaoxu understood that her words were not true, but his heart was relieved: "Qingjiao wants to use my invitation to sneak into the martial arts competition, I don't know what conspiracy is hidden in secret, well, most of them are here to find the bad luck of the Tang Sect, and it has nothing to do with me." He said in a loud voice: "Yes! Yes! Thinking that his life was worry-free for a while, he couldn't help but secretly take a long breath, and said: "Dare to ask the envoy, I don't know ...... antidote below."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Shen Lingshan shout: "Love and teaching to do things, has always been a good word, since I have promised you, after seven days, I will give you the antidote, what are you doing at the instigation?!" She turned her head, winked at Bai Yixue, and said, "Baiyun Envoy, you first solve the acupoint for Master Ling." She listened to Ling Zhaoxu's "Honorable Envoy", but she didn't know what it meant, the young man was playful, and casually sealed Bai Yixue as a "White Cloud Messenger".
Bai Yixue smiled secretly in his belly, his face remained silent, and said, "Yes, I will obey the order of the black-eyed messenger." Under the light, Shen Lingshan's pair of black eyes were crystal bright, and he also said nonsense, sealing Shen Lingshan as a "black-eyed messenger", which means that her pair of black eyes are as bright as stars. What a powerful and dignified identity the messenger of love and religion was, but the two of them easily agreed to each other, like child's play. Shen Lingshan smiled slightly when he heard this, but Ling Zhao was humble in his heart: "It's really the messenger of the love sect!" His eyes rolled for a while, and he thought hard about it, but he couldn't remember that among the messengers of the love sect, there were two people, "Baiyun Messenger" and "Black-eyed Messenger", who must have been young masters who had recently entered the sect.
Bai Yixue stepped forward, stretched out two fingers and poked, untied Ling Zhaoxu's acupoint under his ribs, and without looking back with Shen Ling, he opened the door and walked away. Ling Zhao was weak and numb, and he struggled to stand up, put his hand on the back of the chair, bowed down and said, "Ling sends off the two envoys!"
When the two of them were already far away, Ling Zhaoxu's knees weakened, and he sat down dejectedly, and his heart was numb for a while: "White Cloud Envoy? Black-eyed Envoy? ”
I secretly rejoiced in my heart: "Thanks to my own cleverness, I don't dare to have the slightest contempt for them, otherwise with the temperament of the people in the love teaching, as long as the two of them are a little unhappy, they will withhold the antidote to the sad bone pill, and their little life will go to the Huangquan Road." He thought again: "In the love and education, the masters are like clouds, they came to find the bad luck of the Tang Sect this time, and sent such two little dolls, they must have outstanding and extraordinary talents." When we meet tomorrow, we must not be the slightest bit lazy, only if we win their hearts, the antidote to the sad bone pill will be settled. ”
The door opened, a cold wind blew, and he couldn't help shivering, only to realize that a piece of underwear close to his body had already been soaked with sweat.
