Chapter 1 The Three Fools of the Outer Courtyard
The Great Yan Dynasty, the south of the Qianshan Prefecture close to the million mountains, there is a world-famous Qiandong Tianfu, this Tianfu has been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, after several dynasties, it still stands proudly in the southern boundary, and the Emperor Xue Treasure Palace of the Great Yan Dynasty, Langya Xiandi is called the three major colleges in the world. Qiandong Tianfu is divided into the inner and outer courtyards, the inner courtyard is the place where the disciples practice, and the outer courtyard is the place where ordinary disciples study. Ordinary disciples are sent to the outer courtyard to learn the world's anecdotes, the subset of history, and take reading as their own responsibility to gain fame. The disciples of the inner courtyard practiced blood qi one by one, conceived and nurtured the inner dan, comprehended the power of the Great Dao, killed the demons and evil in the world, and guarded the southern boundary of the Great Yan Dynasty.
In the outer courtyard, there are a lot of gentlemen, and most of them are the children of the descendants of the major counties who have no way to cultivate. These children were unable to take the blood qi until the age of fourteen, and most of them were sent here to study until they reached adulthood, and then they were assigned to the various fiefdoms of these families to deal with mundane affairs.
In the outer courtyard, there are three extremely famous talents, known as the three mixed outer courtyards of Qiandong Tianfu.
There are three mixed in the outer courtyard, one is the third young master of the Bai family who eats and waits for death, and Baihu Xin. Nicknamed White Fat Man. One is the eldest son of the martial arts family mixed in the land of fireworks, Wu Xiusi. Nicknamed Wu Se Gongzi, tall and handsome, popular among thousands of girls. One is the third young master of the Qi family who is mixed in Shanhailou all day long and engages in sorting out books, Qi Xuanyi, known as Qi nerd. These three people are extremely famous in the outer courtyard, in addition to the forces behind them, more importantly, these three people have been judged by the family to be unable to practice.
"Third child, you have been in Shanhailou for half a month. If you don't come out to meet again, everyone will think you're dead?" In summer, the mountain and sea building, under the shroud of many ancient trees, seems unusually quiet, surrounded by ancient trees towering to the sky, because the ground is inaccessible, and the moss is overgrown all around. The white fat man was cautious and stood outside the door and shouted loudly. This building is so old that even many teachers in Qiandong Tianfu can't remember when this mountain and sea building appeared here. The white fat man paced outside, and after a while, the door opened gently, and out of the mountain and sea building came a young man in a green robe, about twelve years old, with a pale face, lack of blood, clear eyebrows and eyes, looking up at the white fat man.
"What's the matter?" the white fat man wanted to speak and stopped, Qi Xuanyi could see the doubts in the white fat man's heart, if this kid didn't have a reason, he would definitely not bother himself at this time.
"Well, there's no money again. My boss and I have no moon silver again, and now it's only half a month has passed. ”
"How much do you want?"
"One hundred thousand taels of silver. The white fat man said carefully, not daring to look at Xuan Yi's gaze. Qi Xuanyi shook his head and said, "What's the matter, if you don't explain the reason clearly, I won't give you the money." "Qi Xuanyi is indeed rich, he has saved for almost two years, just hoping to buy a little demon beast essence blood, try to open the blood qi in his body, and finally be able to practice, change the status quo, and change his fate.
"The boss was calculated in the Sanhua Immortal Building a few days ago, and was coaxed into buying a portrait of a man who claimed to be in a grave in the middle of a million mountains, and now he is besieged in the Sanhua Immortal Building, if he doesn't give money, others will have to remove one of his arms. You also know that although Xiusi has some skills, the other party seems to be a real monk. If he can't come up with 10,000 taels of silver, he?"
"The martial family is also the first family in Wuling County, and there are many monks in the sect, is it possible that even a descendant disciple can't protect it?"
"The martial arts family is infighting, and the eldest father's side seems to have been suppressed, and the disciples sent before have all gone back. The three of us are the richest of you. "What the white fat man said is true, everyone has been together for so long, although Qi Xuanyi's identity has not been disclosed, but everyone knows that the Qi family is the overlord in Qianshan Prefecture and one of the seventy-two wealthy families in the world.
"Portrait of a fox. Qi Xuanyi shook his head and said to the white fat man: "Fat man, let's go, let's go to the Sanhua Immortal Tower to have a look." Qi Xuanyi tidied up his clothes and went to the Sanhua Immortal Tower with the white fat man.
The Qianshan Prefecture is rich and prosperous, not only because it is close to the million-dollar mountain, but also because it is such a famous university here. The two of them drove the carriage and went all the way to the inner city, but in the time of a stick of incense, they arrived at this land of wind and snow, Sanhua Immortal Tower. This is a nest of beauties, and it is also a gold cave, which is full of red dust, and it is even more. The white fat man took Qi Xuanyi to a secluded flower hall in the Sanhua Immortal Building, but it was crowded with people watching the excitement.
Wu Xiusi grabbed a few people and tied his body, the brocade robe on his body was also rotten by three or four points, and there were several big mouths on his face, which were swollen and tall, and blood came out of the corners of his mouth, which was very embarrassing. Among the people who stood on the sidelines and watched the excitement, a few were familiar and often bullied the three of them.
"Ouch, what a good day today, the three gangsters in this outer courtyard have arrived, it's really an eye-opener. The man who spoke stood behind Wu Xiusi, tall and mighty, fierce, wearing a jade pendant of the martial family, this person is a disciple of the martial family, but looking at the clothes, it should be just a sideline. This person is Wu Xiusi's cousin, Wu Xiuling, who is also a mess in the outer courtyard, but he has a bit of martial arts, and the momentum of the family is even more vigorous, so he doesn't take Wu Xiusi in his eyes. On the Taishi chair behind Wu Xiuling, there was a man in Tsing Yi surrounded by three or five delicate women, and this person was the main one.
"Wu Xiuling, what do you mean by this?"
"Although my cousin was born handsome, but his head is not very bright, and he has offended people, if I hadn't interceded, I am afraid that he would have been slaughtered a long time ago. White fat man, let you go and bring money, why did you come empty-handed and bring another waste. "Wu Xiu Lingyi commanded, and now it is the spring breeze that is proud, and he doesn't take everyone in his eyes at all.
"Qi nerd, didn't you let you break the siege?" Wu Xiuling laughed, Qi Xuanyi's gaze didn't sweep towards him at all, which made him so annoyed that he actually stretched out his hand to grab Qi Xuanyi's neck.
"The main lord didn't speak, what are you dog biting indiscriminately?" Qi Xuanyi glared at Wu Xiuling. Wu Xiuling actually put back the trembling hand that was hanging in the air, that kind of gaze would only make people cold and extremely frightened, only those who have been in a high position all year round have the momentum, this kind of momentum cannot be learned.
The blue-robed man waved his hand, and Jiao'e immediately retreated, and said lightly: "There is no free lunch in this world, since Wu Xiusi made a bet with me, if he loses, he loses, if he can't get back 100,000 silver, this kid will only have one hand in the future." Wu Xiusi was covered by someone, trying to speak, trying to break free, but there was nothing he could do.
"A mere hundred thousand taels of silver is not comparable to my brother's arm. But you said that your painting is worth 100,000 taels, and it has to be worth that value. ”
"Yes, I see that you have a bit of dignity, and you must have seen extraordinary. Come, bring the painting to this son. Immediately, a maid took the scroll and sent it to Qi Xuanyi in person. Qi Xuanyi took the scroll and opened it gently, this scroll is very simple, it looks like some years, and you can feel the mottled appearance when you touch it, open the scroll, the color of the pattern on it has already lost its color, leaving only a general appearance, and it can be vaguely recognized that this is the appearance of the ancient beast. Qi Xuanyi suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and the dantian in his body actually gave birth to a hot and dry breath, knowing that this treasure was extraordinary. The Qi family has always been the totem of the Qi family, the first head of the Qi family once got a supreme divine beast, and even contracted this divine beast, and later the descendants of the Qi family had more or less the essence blood in the body. Qi Xuanyi's eyes swept over the man in green clothes, this man was very ordinary, and there was no trace of monk aura on his body, and he didn't seem to have anything to do with the Qi family. Qi Xuanyi's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "This is what you want for 100,000 taels, this kind of goods, there are a lot of antique streets outside Qiandong Tianfu, and just a painting wants to cheat me out of 100,000 taels of silver." ”
"I've got it from a corpse in an ancient tomb, and I've seen it, and it's worth at least 100,000 pieces of silver. Why, don't you want your eldest brother to have an arm gone. The man said lightly, he made up his mind, Qi Xuanyi would definitely pay this money, the three fools may not have anything else, but this bit of brotherhood is definitely not bad, not to mention that this matter is a task given to him by the mysterious man, if he doesn't get back the things in Qi Xuanyi's hands in half an hour, he will only have a dead end.
"A broken painting is naturally not worth 100,000 taels of silver, but my brother's arm is much more precious than 100,000 silver. But I don't have a hundred thousand silver now. ”
"If you don't, I'm surprised. It seems that this young man also knows Qi Xuanyi's identity.
"I think this thing is more noble than a hundred thousand silver. Qi Xuanyi took off the ring in his hand, and the maid next to him immediately presented it on a tray, the man stroked the ring that still exuded a warm breath, put it between his snorts and sniffed it, and laughed: "Yes, it's this thing, but this thing is so tight, you won't just give up." ”
"It's not mine, I didn't take it back then, and now I think it's reasonable to take it in this way. Outsiders didn't seem to be able to hear the content of the conversation between the two clearly, but when Qi Xuanyi saw the man in green clothes take the ring, the stone in his heart fell to the ground. Although this thing is a life-saving talisman, many people in the Qi family want to take it, especially the ring in Qi Xuanyi's hand. After the important disciples of the Qi family are born, they will receive a protective ring, and the person who holds the protective ring is protected by the Qi family, and anyone who acts against the person who holds the protective ring is regarded as declaring war with the Qi family.
"Okay, let the young master of the martial arts family go. The man in Tsing Yi got the things, looked at Qi Xuanyi, and quickly led people away, and only the three of them were left in the entire flower hall.
The fat man helped Wu Xiusi up, Wu Xiusi didn't dare to look at Qi Xuanyi, so he had to whisper: "Third child, it's all up to you this time." ”
"This matter has nothing to do with you, now that the time has come, it is better to take this thing back to the Qi family in this way than to come to the door in person. Qi Xuanyi said lightly, he doubted the identity of this man, and he was afraid that the Qi family wanted to take back the Qi family's protective ring in this way.
"The ring you gave to that person is the Qi family's Yunhu ring?" Wu Xiusi raised his head and looked at Qi Xuanyi, wanting to know the answer from Qi Xuanyi's mouth. Even the fat man stared at Qi Xuanyi with a very surprised gaze. Qi Xuanyi nodded, his gaze was steady and indifferent, looking at the man in Tsing Yi who finally disappeared from sight.
"Are you crazy, do you have a problem with your head?" Wu Xiusi didn't care about the pain, he directly grabbed Qi Xuanyi, and shouted loudly, he knew that once Qi Xuanyi lost this ring, he would lose the protection of the Qi family, so the person who secretly wanted to make a move against Qi Xuanyi would definitely take action. Qi Xuanyi's eyes were flat at the moment, and he looked at Wu Xiusi: "My brother's hand is more important than a broken ring. This sentence made Wu Xiusi like a deflated ball, leaning on the fat man, his eyes were dilated, and he muttered in a low voice: "I should die, I should die, I actually broke your future, I really deserve to die." He fell to his knees and slapped himself in the face, without mercy.
The fat man was anxious and asked, "What's going on?"
Wu Xiusi's eyes were scattered, he didn't expect it to be such an ending, and said: "The ring handed over by the third brother just now is the Qi family's protective ring Yunhu ring that can only be possessed by important disciples of the Qi family, and the person who has the ring is an important protective person recognized by the Qi family, and outsiders cannot deal with it, otherwise it will be regarded as a declaration of war with the Qi family, once the ring is lost, the third brother will not only cut off the road in the Qi family, but also suffer from the killing of the internal struggle of the Qi family." When the time comes, the danger is abounding. ”
When the fat man heard this, he also collapsed on the ground, he didn't expect this ring to have such a big effect. Qi Xuanyi held the scroll and looked at the sky, obsessed with it in his heart, one day, he would get back what he had lost.
The man in Tsing Yi walked out of the Sanhua Immortal Tower, dispersed the crowd, and quickly walked out of the city gate and came to a Wangjiang Pavilion on the edge of the Bilang River.
The man in a black robe, whose face could not be seen at all, said in a withered voice, "Young man, you are very good. I got this ring for me very smoothly, and you completed the task. The 100,000 taels of gold and the antidote are all yours. A black light flashed, and five large wooden boxes appeared in front of the man in Tsing Yi, and the golden light flashed in the wooden boxes, and on top of the wooden boxes was the jade bottle where the antidote was stored.
"Thank you. Dare to ask the seniors, what is this ring, it is so important, it is worth 100,000 taels of gold. "The young man was very curious.
"This is the Qi family protection ring, the cloud lake ring, do you say it is important. ”
"What about the portrait?"
"Maybe it's worth it, maybe it's not worth it, in short, this matter is over, if you don't want to get into trouble, you can leave along the river today." ”
"Yes. The black-robed man disappeared, and then appeared outside Qi Xuanyi's small courtyard in the outer courtyard, and sighed: "The road to the end has been opened, if you can go on, that is your creation, if you can't go on, that is your fate, no matter what, you have to accept it." Just after the black-robed man disappeared, in the middle of the mountain and sea building, in the dark room, a faint light opened.
