Chapter 229: Eleventh Floor (Bottom)
The old man carried the new bamboo basket that Ding Changjiu personally bought on his back and left silently, neither thanking nor confiscating the compensation paid by the latter on his own initiative.
Ren Pingsheng has seen the secret realm of the Stone Forest Cave surrounded by the sea of clouds, and he has also seen the high-rise Qingao Palace, and the Jiujing Villa, which was an eye-opener when he was a teenager, has long been stingy. However, when he followed Ding Changjiu into the proud building with the sound of bamboo and the light singing and dancing, he knew that there was such a place of luxury and luxury in the world.
The maiko on the stage, who were extremely luxurious in silk and satin but still unclothed, made the two young people who had not entered the world deeply bear to look at them directly.
In the elegant seats of the hall under the stage, there are graceful literati and writers who embrace beauties and let loose their bodies; there are copper-smelling businessmen who are extremely rich, surrounded by beauties, and they are all unscrupulous; and there are even some local celebrities who are dignified and sanctimonious, who calmly bear the grace of the beauties on their knees, but they have to work hard to maintain the demeanor of a decent man and a gentleman.
Fortunately, this was just an embarrassment passing by, because Ding Changjiu led Ren Pingsheng and Shunzi directly to an elegant box on the water platform on the second floor. The window of the box faces the stage, and the scenery here is more nuanced, but it avoids the embarrassment of everyone.
"My brother's cultivation is good. At this time, the leper Lao Jiu was like the evil look on the street at the beginning, and smiled at Ren Pingsheng, "Is the family education very strict? Or do you not like this fireworks duckweed?"
Ren Pingsheng shook his head and said lightly, "I don't like it or not, I just have a lot of knowledge, but I don't have much interest." ”
The leper Lao Jiu smiled at it, but suddenly turned his head to Shunzi and said, "Little brother, if you like that one, just open your mouth, whether it is Qingyin Xiaoban or Oiran, I have a treat today." Don't be polite to my brother. ”
Junzi hurriedly withdrew the corner of his eyes outside the window, and his soul was unrelenting, "No...... No, the young ladies are all good-looking......"
The leper Lao Jiuhao smiled heartily, "As long as you are willing, you have to discuss with Brother Ren about renting the venue today, and I will admit it." ”
Junko's expression stiffened and lowered her eyebrows, this kind of place, seeing the world once is not in vain. As for the rest......
If the little brother wants to have a pastime, I am a leader no matter what I say, and it is always okay to sacrifice my life to accompany him!
The embarrassment of the two did not end there, because soon there were three beautiful women dressed more coolly, carrying trays of grace. Three men and three women, each in a couple. What's worse is that the men are all sitting, the women are handing wine and tea, and they all need to bow down to each other, and the beautiful scenery in the loose bandeau is completely unobstructed.
Ren Pingsheng took a glass of wine, his hand was quite steady, after all, this half-hidden scenery was still worse than Li Xilian.
Junko took the hand of the wine glass, and shivered honestly and unceremoniously for a long time, and the wine in the glass was half spilled.
"Brother Ding, the eleventh floor?" Ren Pingsheng asked.
Ding Changjiu's face changed, but he returned to normal in an instant. He immediately ordered the three beautiful maids to step down, and solemnly explained, "No one is allowed to go upstairs without my command." ”
There were only three people left in the box, and Ding Changjiu unconsciously stroked one of his bald heads back and forth with one hand, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "No one has mentioned this matter to me for many years." ”
His eyes suddenly were like lightning, staring at Ren Pingsheng, "Legend has it that the people who have come into contact with the Twelve-Story Building are already dead. So, you?"
Ren Pingsheng looked firm, "If it's inconvenient, you can not answer; ”
Junko has already sensed that the atmosphere is wrong, and she doesn't know whether she should leave or stay. There was a moment of silence between the two, and Junko had secretly pulled the corner of Ren Pingsheng's clothes several times.
It's a pity that the latter didn't care, just gently shook the wine in the glass with one hand, and looked calm.
The leper Lao Jiu seemed to have a weak body, and the whole person was half lying in the beautifully carved Taishi chair, looking out of the window, and his eyes traveled.
"That's right, the eleventh floor!" This generation of heroes, who has always had the momentum of Changhong even if he was talking and laughing, instantly became a little depressed and depressed.
"In that place, there should have been one man and a thousand above. But before I left, the twelfth floor was empty!"
"So, you're just above a thousand?" Ren Pingsheng said in surprise. An existence that even the whole world and the mountains and sects are afraid of, can achieve the status of self-respect, and no one will choose to leave.
Ding Changjiu took a sip of wine, continued to lie back in the Taishi chair, and slowly waved his hand to indicate that he should not be impatient, and then continued, "No, there were two people on the eleventh floor in those years. So more than 100 years ago, the 12-story building was actually not worthy of its name. It's just that the outside world doesn't know. ”
Ren Pingchang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are some things, if they are inconvenient, you really don't have to say it." As long as Brother Ding is no longer a person from the Twelve-Story Building, we should be able to have a period later. ”
Ding Changjiu smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, it's all the old yellow calendar that has passed hundreds of years, and I don't know what the situation is now." What do you say about the high wind and bright festival, and the rapid stream retreats bravely, that's. People come step by step in this life, the higher they go, the more difficult and dangerous they are, and in places like the eleventh floor, it is not an exaggeration to say that they will die for a lifetime. Whatever is the matter, the clothes are gone, and the person who hides his body and name or something, only people who have never been to a high place can say such things. Just to carry the blessings and misfortunes of the life and death of the more than 1,000 brothers, you can't help but put up the bed board and weigh the gains and losses......"
Ren Pingsheng said with a smile, "If you talk about love in the twelve-story building, you are not suitable for that kind of place." ”
Ding Changjiu picked up the wine glass and drank it all. It was twenty years of West Wind brewing that burned like a fire in the throat. followed and gave Ren Pingsheng a thumbs up.
"Yes, in a few words, you will understand this truth. At that time, I thought about it for three months! Three months, my hair became a hair. I finally figured it out. ”
Ren Pingsheng nodded, stopped talking, and swallowed back some words that he wanted to ask.
If a person can talk to you about this, it means that in his eyes, you are already an out-and-out person. For your own people, there is no need to strip each other layer by layer and see them thoroughly. Sometimes, that can be very hurtful.
The rivers and lakes drift away, the end of the world is reduced to people, and some fates are often like this.
The edge is deep and shallow, and it is between glasses of wine.
I didn't want to eat the leper old nine glasses of wine, but instead opened the conversation, and laughed at myself, "You want to ask, you are an old monster who has lived for two or three hundred years, why do you still act like this, tired or tired?"
Ren Pingsheng nodded, but changed the topic and said, "On the street just now, thank you for reminding me, I will think more before I make a move in the future." ”
Ding Changjiu waved his hand and said unhappily, "Young age, don't say such old-fashioned words, not to mention that my Lao Jiu is your own brother, just understand." ”
He patted his heart, "Thank you for coming and going, see me a lot, Lao Tzu is uncomfortable here." ”
On the street before, others couldn't see it, but Ren Pingsheng knew that if it wasn't for Ding Changjiu's sudden move, then the people in the neighborhood who were afraid of his soft and hard words and intimidated him would be the same as being instantly knocked out, but they would not be as unscathed as Lao Jiu's shot.
If someone carries it away, I'm afraid they will lie in bed for months.
Bullying the weak who think they can stabilize one head to death, whether you are an immortal master on the mountain or a mortal ant, this kind of person is not used to it in his life, and he can't stand it.
"Then why do you have to pretend to be a villain?" Ren Pingsheng finally couldn't help but ask. In fact, only three people know the truth. Li Cunhui, Ren Pingsheng and Lao Jiu himself.
At the beginning, Li Cunhui punched unscrupulously on the street, and the sword was overflowing, and this immortal fight that had not been encountered in Luoma City for a hundred years would have caused innocent people to bleed.
This kind of thing is not a big deal for a martial arts academy, as long as the division is famous, the life and death of the ants is not a big deal. But Ding Changjiu had to divide half of his own strength, isolating the place where the two were fighting into an independent world.
What's more, Ren Pingsheng used his self-created Tai Chi swordsmanship in the periphery, and he used up the remnants of the sword light of those fish that slipped through the net, so as to avoid a tragedy.
With half of his strength, he received the full strength of the martial arts master's punch, but he was slightly behind. Ren Pingsheng also knows this.
The leper Lao Jiu and him, a strange boy in a foreign land, did not hit it off at first sight, but experienced a life-and-death struggle on the same scene, and the two who had never known each other were able to achieve a very tacit understanding. Ding Changjiu, a two- or three-hundred-year-old Jianghu, believes that the other party does not have enough trust in him to trust his life, and he will definitely not be able to do such a thing.
If he knew that Ren Pingsheng was because he had some kind of magical power that had long been lost in the world, and he was like a god to all the qi in the field, he would probably cry and laugh.
The old rivers and lakes who thought they had read countless people failed to see through the "cheating" of a hairy boy.
The leper Lao Jiu said helplessly, "If I am a good person, I am afraid that I will not be able to do anything in this hundred years." The wicked always have a wicked person to grind, but it can make more good people live a little more at ease. ”
He looked at Junko, who was becoming more and more cramped and uneasy, and said with a smile in Bai Zhuyuan's accent, "I can't imagine that my leper old dog is such a person, so what does it matter." Just get out and don't talk nonsense. My brother who Lao Jiu recognized can be trusted. If you encounter anything difficult in the future, just report my old dog's name. ”
Li Anshun was busy pecking rice, and he couldn't believe that such good luck would befall him.
For an ordinary villager, everyone understands, not to mention becoming his brother of the leper Lao Jiu, as long as this gangster is willing to say something to a small group of people for himself, what kind of success does it mean!
But the reality is that the leper Lao Jiu is sitting opposite him, calling one brother after another, and he is a little closer than his own brothers.
"Do you recognize that old servant of the Shen family?" Ding Changjiu suddenly said with a solemn face.
Ren Pingsheng shook his head, "The Shen family, is it the home of the old city lord Shen Lang?"
"Yes. Ding Changjiu glanced at Ren Pingsheng a few more times, as if he wanted to see the flowers on the latter's face, but finally was slightly disappointed and muttered, "It doesn't make sense." It doesn't make sense!"
"What doesn't make sense?" Ren Pingsheng was surprised.
Ding Changjiu said, "Although Luoma City has always been a peaceful border town, but there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in it, and how many strange people and strange people there are, I am afraid that I know best in Yizhongbao." But this withdrawn old man, who has not been visible for decades, has never interacted with outsiders. So we haven't found anything out of him that is anything special. ”
Ren Pingsheng suddenly remembered that the last sword light that he couldn't catch stopped at splitting the old man's back basket! The old man had taken his life for nothing.
Now that Lao Jiu mentioned it, it really doesn't make sense.
Ren Pingsheng asked himself that he didn't need to hand out a sword with all his strength, and he could kill the one or two hundred ordinary people who were surrounded by layers.
What's more, it was a ray of sword light that he couldn't even block!
