Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Fortune in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 153 Recruitment
Legend has it that the ancestor traveled to the Heavenly Palace against his fate, but he did not enter.
No one knew what he had seen on the other side of the palace gate. But when he came back, he immediately found Yi Tianxue Palace, and compiled a general outline of martial arts with the contemporary palace master of Yi Tianxue Palace. Then he divided the general outline of martial arts into ten parts, and divided his own luck into ten parts, and poured them into them, achieving the well-known ten martial arts.
Ever since he noticed the abnormality of the jade plate, Meng Li became more and more suspicious that those ten chances were likely to be his hope.
At the beginning, the ancestor left ten martial arts, in order to leave ten opportunities for the future rivers and lakes. He has a copy to himself, so what's the matter?
However, after all, the Ten Martial Dao is just Meng Li's speculation, no matter whether there is a general outline of martial arts in Jieshui City, Meng Li must work hard, he wants to increase his bargaining chips for himself, regardless of strength or power.
If you want to gain a firm foothold in Jieshui City in a short period of time, you can't rely on your own strength alone.
Unlike most martial artists who came to Jieshui City to make a name for themselves, Meng Li had come with a clear purpose, so he knew exactly what he was going to do.
In Meng Li's opinion, there is only one way that can allow him to develop in a short period of time: opening a martial arts hall.
Martial arts halls are the best way for a martial artist to increase their influence, whether it is recruiting apprentices or taking on tasks, it is a good way to increase fame, and more importantly, to get money.
As long as the martial arts hall has income, their financial problems can also be solved.
Coming out of the town by the water, Meng Li has brought all the family property, although he has received some bounties in the past two years, but there are not many silver tickets in hand, plus the wages earned by fishing in Jiangxi with Meng Jiangxi, it is only two hundred taels of silver.
If he is a plain-headed ordinary man who lives honestly, it will be forgotten, and two hundred taels of silver is enough for him to live in peace for six or seven years.
But he is not a flat-headed commoner, but a genuine first-class martial artist, and a martial artist is also a group of people with extremely high consumption, maintaining the food and consumption of martial arts, plus the maintenance of the blade is almost a hundred times more than the expenditure of ordinary people.
These two hundred taels of silver, if he spends it lavishly, he will be able to spend it in less than two days, for example, the Fujia Inn where they are at this time, the average daily consumption of twenty or thirty taels, if it weren't for Li Yan to live with him for free, he would never have entered.
The Tianzi room of Fujia Inn is not only the best room in Fujia Inn, but also the best room in the city.
Different from the font size and the ground size, there are only eight Tianzi rooms in the Fujia Inn, which are divided into eight font sizes of "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Universe Flood Wilderness". Divided into east and west opposing patterns, there are four rooms on each side of the east and west, and the area of each room is extremely spacious, which is larger than Meng Li's home in Mengjia Village.
The room where Meng Li is located is located in the third room on the east side. On the right side of the door of the room, parallel to the line of sight, hangs a clearly textured, oily brown-red wooden plaque.
I don't know what kind of wood this wooden brand is, it exudes a faint fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.
In the center of the wooden plaque, there is a fist-sized "Xuan" character engraved. It is a sky-shaped room with a black name.
There is a living room and a bedroom in the room.
Compared to the luxury of the second-floor box, the guest rooms are much more monotonous, with only a few simple furniture for living.
Needless to say, the beds and wardrobes in the bedrooms are located against the interior walls. The living room is also just a round set of tables and chairs.
When Meng Li entered the room, he smelled the fragrance of tea, looked at the round table, and sure enough, he saw a set of exquisite purple mud tea sets.
A teapot, three teacups. Hot tea is already brewing in the pot, and a pot of freshly boiled hot water is placed next to it, ready to use.
The three of them came to the round table and sat down, Meng Li picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, and in an instant, his teeth and lips were fragrant.
"Tell me what you think!"
Meng Li put down the teacup and looked at the other two.
Seeing his gaze, Bu Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip, nodded and said, "It's not bad?"
Meng Li was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's not bad?"
Bu Yu pointed to the teacup and said as a matter of course: "Of course it's this cup of tea, otherwise what do you think?"
Meng Li smiled bitterly.
Miss, am I asking you to talk about tea?
He looked at Wang Ergou again: "What do you think?"
Wang Ergou's face suddenly sank, and he clenched his hands into fists and said, "To be honest, this city puts a lot of pressure on me. ”
Meng said Sure enough, this kind of feeling, not only Wang Ergou has, he also felt it, maybe the life in the water town was too easy, and when they stepped into the city, they felt the kind of extremely depressing atmosphere.
The pace of life here is far greater than that of the water town!
Bu Yu held the teacup in both hands, took another sip, and said confusedly, "Is there one?"
She didn't know if her life was under a lot of pressure, anyway, when she was grabbing vegetables with Meng Li just now, she was under a lot of pressure.
Miss Bu's heartless appearance made Meng Li sigh and said with a wry smile: "Tell me about your plans in the future." ”
At the beginning, they said that they would go together, but they only came to Jieshui City, and they had no follow-up plans, let alone said that they would always be together. Now that they're in Boundary Water City, it may be time to part ways.
Meng Li's meaning is to win over Wang Ergou, and then send out the trouble-loving Miss Bu, although this Miss Bu has first-class strength, but it is a restless time bomb, when it will explode, no one knows.
I heard that her uncle, surnamed Bai, is also a powerful lord in Jieshui City, and if you send her over, you should be able to keep her safe!
Who knows, Miss Bu's next answer was completely different from what he expected.
Hearing Meng Li's inquiry, Bu Yu tilted his head and said, "What are we going to do, just follow you?"
Meng Li looked at this hot and sticky potato, and said weakly: "Why don't you think about it again!"
Miss Bu waved her hand and said arrogantly: "Don't think about it, Miss Ben thinks you have potential and wants to help you." Why? You don't want to?"
In the end, his voice had turned cold, and Meng Li was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, saying that he didn't dare.
"Hmph! I don't dare. Miss Bu was like a winning rooster, raised her chin, and then looked at Wang Ergou who was in a daze at the teacup, and said strangely: "Why don't you speak?"
Wang Ergou smiled bitterly: "I don't know what to do next?"
Before leaving home, he was full of enthusiasm, thinking about making some achievements with his own skills. Wang Ergou is no better than Meng and Bu, relying only on his keen intuition for intelligence. But when he felt the pressure brought to him by Jieshui City, Wang Ergou was confused.
Meng Li suddenly got up, came behind Wang Ergou, and slapped him on the back.
Syllable!
Wang Ergou was slapped straight by this heavy palm, he turned his head and looked at Meng Li inexplicably.
Meng Li said with a smile: "Before you start, are you going to give up? Are the dreams you've been talking about so fragile?"
"I ......"
Dreams shouldn't be so fragile!
Wang Ergou opened his mouth to refute, but was interrupted by Meng Li's palm, and a hot pain came from his back.
"You ......"
Wang Ergou was furious.
It's okay to be photographed, why did you come again? It still hurts, isn't this too much deception, what is it?
However, before he could vent his anger, he heard Meng Li say: "But I know, you are not such a weak person, if you don't know what to do, just follow me for the time being! ”
Wang Ergou looked at Meng Li in astonishment, and the sincerity in the young man's eyes touched him.
"Really, really?" Wang Ergou felt that the small flame in his heart that was about to be extinguished was burning again.
"It's true!"
In the middle of the night, when everyone has fallen asleep. Liu Sheng, dressed in black, sneaked in from outside the door.
As one of the shopkeepers of the Fujia Inn, Liu Sheng is almost the highest-ranking person in the Fujia Inn, and even Li Bin has to be suppressed by him.
But now, in his territory, he is doing such a thing, and it can be expected that he will move next, and there must be some ulterior secrets.
At this time, Liu Sheng was holding a gray cloth bag in his hand, only to see him lift the cloth bag and sneer: "The surname Meng, I let you humiliate me, this time I will see how you die!"
There was a living creature wriggling in the gray sack, and judging by the signs that the sack was being shaken, it should be a snake the thickness of a thumb.
Gently shook the cloth bag, listened to the hissing sound from the cloth bag, showed an intoxicated expression on his face, and then couldn't help but appreciate the fruits of his labor again, opened the cloth bag and looked inside.
The bag was indeed a snake, and it was a very venomous snake, shining green in the dim night light.
Trimeresurus!
One of the few venomous snakes in the world. Its venom has been widely used by poison masters, and the five poisons who used to move the rivers and lakes were once famous, and his unique poison five poisons were scattered, one of which was the venom of bamboo leaf green.
Looking at this bamboo leaf green that was finally bought in the snake nest, the smile on Liu Sheng's face deepened, and he was bitten by this poisonous snake that sealed his throat with blood, no matter if you are a first-class martial artist, you will die on the spot.
"Meng Li, yes, I want you to know how unfortunate it is to offend me Liu Sheng. ”
He Liu Sheng has never been a righteous gentleman, as long as someone dares to offend him, he will definitely do everything possible to retaliate back, today in Gushan Pavilion, that guy who claimed to be Meng Li dared to threaten him with a knife, which made him almost lose face, this revenge is not avenged, how can he Liu Sheng swallow this breath?
Tie the cloth bag again, and just as Liu Sheng was about to go upstairs in the dark, a fire suddenly lit up in the living room.
Hiss!
It was similar to the neighing of a viper, but it was the sound of a fire being ignited.
Scarlet red dots of light, like the night demon's one-eyed, followed by the faint light of an oil lamp when it was lit.
Under the low and gloomy light, a rugged face suddenly appeared in front of Liu Sheng.
"Hu, Mr. Hu!"
When Liu Sheng saw the face under the firelight, he was so frightened that he trembled and almost sat down on the ground. Although he is a side of the Liu family, he is not in the power center of the Liu family, and he also has a relationship with Mr. Hu, the family's protector. I never thought I'd see this big man alone here one day.
