Chapter 37: Immortals on Stilts
Everyone stared at the scene in front of them in amazement, unable to believe such a fact. The five thousand taels of silver bills have been reduced to pieces like this? No matter how rich you are, you can't waste it like this!
Sang Jun quickly turned from stunned to angry, grabbed Meng Chuanqing's collar, and said, "What are you doing here?" Do you think it's easy for Miss to make money?"
Meng Chuanqing tilted her head and said, "I don't think she will mind." ”
Sang Jun was even more angry, "You..."
"Sang Jun!" Sang Youwu finally spoke, she really didn't mind, and reprimanded Sang Jun: "Let go of the second cousin, isn't it just a silver ticket of five thousand taels, as for being excited like that?"
With the master to speak, Sang Jun had to let go of Meng Chuanqing, he snorted coldly and said, "Miss has repeatedly indulged him, and one day you will lose your family property." ”
Seeing this scene, Han Lingfeng and Mai Changfeng glanced at each other, and they didn't know what idea to fight in their hearts. Han Zhizhi muttered: "This kid is so stupid, the five thousand taels of silver tickets were torn up like this, doesn't he know that money is very precious? or he is a madman..."
Long Gongzi was also shocked, and muttered: "I have seen rich people, but I have never seen such a rich person, gambling with thousands of dollars, throwing ten thousand taels... Gee... Does he have a grudge against money?"
It wasn't until all the debris hit the ground that everyone came to their senses. Meng Chuanqing looked at the people on the first floor and said, "It's getting dark, don't disturb your Yaxing, I'm gone!" He said to Shang Yu again: "Sister Shang, come to my room in a while, I have something to discuss with you." Then he took the women up to the third floor.
"See, this is called courage, Lord Alliance, are you still far away?" said the young knight sitting by the window.
Han Lingfeng was not angry this time, but looked at Meng Chuanqing's back and muttered, "Yes!
Mai Changfeng also looked at Meng Chuanqing's back, the expression on his face was changeable, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking. And Han Zhichu beside him looked at Yan Shangci's slender figure, thinking about those dirty things.
Long Gongzi suddenly pointed to the door and said, "Lord Alliance, please go back!" Han Lingfeng and the others had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Night falls.
After dinner, Yan Shangci and the others fell asleep early due to exhaustion, and Meng Chuanqing was alone in the room writing and pondering. Shang Yuluo waited for Jiang Mo Ning to fall asleep peacefully before coming to Meng Chuanqing's room. Seeing that he was so serious, he couldn't help but take a closer look, and his expression immediately became grim, "This is the scene layout of the lion dance stage, you came to me to discuss this?"
"Exactly. Meng Chuanqing spread out the whole picture.
With his amazing memory, he drew all the scenes of the lion dance platform that he saw on the castle tower in the afternoon. Danqing's art has reached the pinnacle of perfection, the scene in the painting is vivid, and there is no difference from the real scene, Shang Yuluo is amazed: "I didn't expect my brother's painting skills to be so outstanding, just looking at this picture I have a general understanding of the layout of the lion dance stage." ”
Meng Chuanqing poured a glass of water for her and said, "I have never participated in the Mo Ye Conference, I really don't understand the use of such an arrangement, and I hope that Sister Shang can solve some problems for me one by one." ”
Shang Yuluo drank the water and said with a smile: "I only entered the Central Plains three years ago, and I don't know much about the Mo Evil Conference, but I believe I know more than you." So, I'll tell you all. ”
Meng Chuanqing was surprised: "Is my sister a foreigner?" Otherwise, how could she say the words "enter the Central Plains".
After this question, Shang Yuluo was shocked to realize that he had slipped his mouth, but he still looked calm, and said: "Brother, how does my appearance differ from you? It's just that I grew up in a foreign clan since I was a child!"
Meng Chuanqing joked: "It's really no different, it's not the same nose and two eyes." Haha..."
Shang Yuluo shook his head and sighed: "At this time, you are still in the mood to joke, tomorrow is a difficult battle!"
Meng Chuanqing said: "I don't like that kind of nervous oppression, I am relaxed at any time but always on guard, which is my consistent attitude towards the enemy." It's like Sister Shang, who always confronts the enemy with indifference and responds to changes with the same, which is a good move. ”
Shang Yuluo smiled and said, "The scene layout of the Mo Ye Conference is different every year, but there are three things that are the same: first, the top ten rich businessmen are the ones who wrote the question. Merchants are cunning, so their questions are definitely unexpected puzzles. Second, the rules are the same. The person who wins the most treasures is eligible to compete for the final treasure. Third, notaries are all alliance leaders. In other words, the only person who decides to compete for the final treasure is the alliance leader, which is why I don't let you clash with him. However, your actions today will definitely make him look at you differently, and his chances of success are a little greater. ”
Meng Chuanqing thought for a while and said, "Sister, do you know what the problem was at the Mo Evil Conference ten years ago?"
"Ten years ago, that competition was called 'Immortal Stilts', and there were only ten seesaws in the entire venue. All the participants will compete in the empty platform first, and the winner will get the treasure, and the last person who will get the most treasure will have the opportunity to board the seesaw to compete for the final treasure. The contestant needs to knock the opponent off the seesaw, and he cannot land on the ground. The first to climb the 10th layer of the seesaw must also rely on their own strength to obtain the final treasure tied to the iron chain, provided that the body does not touch the iron chain, and cannot damage the iron chain with internal force. Moreover, the position of the final treasure is just at one end of the seesaw, and you have to keep yourself balanced while holding the final treasure. ”
"This should be the most difficult session of the Mo Evil Conference in the past. I thought that no one would be able to win the final treasure, but unexpectedly, the girl in white defeated all her opponents on the first layer of the seesaw and went directly to the tenth floor. As she leaped to her feet, she swung a palm at the Finale, and by the time she stood on the rocker, the Finale was already in her hand, and the chain was intact. She opened the final treasure, and it was the portrait of the goddess of Mo Evil, and she stood on the rocker that did not move, like a fairy coming to the world, this scene was called 'fairy stilts' by the people in the rivers and lakes. ”
Meng Chuan was shocked, what a good light skill this is to stand on the seesaw! With a little weight, the seesaw can't keep its balance, and a person's weight is enough to make one end of the seesaw fall to the ground, unless she doesn't step on the seesaw, but stands out of thin air. Thinking of the supreme light work of the woman in white on the sea, he was even more sure: they might be the same person!
While Meng Chuanqing and Shang Yuluo were discussing, in the Mo Ye Pagoda opposite, the three of Ye Weiyang were also doing the same thing.
Jiang Caiqing sat at the table and sipped tea, and he had a soft spot for tea. Opposite him, Ye Weiyang was painting, and his posture was eight points similar to Meng Chuanqing, and his masterpiece happened to be the same as Meng Chuanqing's painting, which was the scene layout of the lion dance stage. Lao Tian sat beside Ye Weiyang and sharpened the ink for him, turning his head from time to time to look at the paintings he had made, his eyes full of admiration.
In one go, Ye Weiyang put down his pen, looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and sighed: "It's really painstaking to come up with such a complicated arrangement thanks to the people in the field group!"
Jiang Cai's expression was grim, and he said, "Are you sure?"
Ye Weiyang said: "If nothing happens, I will be able to win the final treasure in six days." ”
"Accident?" Jiang Caiqing raised his eyebrows and looked at him, as if he was a little unhappy, he didn't allow accidents, he was bound to win!
Ye Weiyang slowly poured himself a cup of tea, and said lightly: "You must know that I am not a god, and I can't prevent accidents." What can be done and what should be done has been planned for you, and whether it can succeed only depends on the will of God. ”
Jiang Caiqing's expression suddenly darkened, and he said softly: "Weiyang, you know me, don't let me down." Then he got up under the gaze of the two and slowly went up to the fourth floor.
"Lord, hall master, he..."
"Here comes again..."Ye Weiyang rolled his eyes helplessly, "Don't worry about him, he can't die!" Every critical moment, he puts on this expression with himself, so that he can't do his best. In order not to disappoint him, he had to carefully plan every step, turning his attention to the painting, and he stroked his jaw and pondered.
After a long time, he showed a deep and unfathomable smile, and said: "The questions of the top ten wealthy businessmen are definitely the problems of the problems, and they will definitely make a fuss in this pillar and net." ”
Lao Tian's eyes lit up, "This net is fictitious!"
Ye Weiyang said: "There is truth in the virtual, and there is fiction in the real is the best move." I've observed that the distance between each of the two pillars is about a foot, just enough for two people to lean over each other. The pillar is just a foil, and the net is the point, if..."Ye Weiyang's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said slowly: "Wouldn't it be interesting if two people fought across the net?"
Lao Tian was already careful, and after mentioning this, she had already understood seven or eight points, and said: "These net holes are just as thick as ordinary people's arms, and the purpose is here!"
Ye Weiyang said: "It depends on your ability." Presumably, the network cable is extremely sharp, once touched, cut off the meridians, if this is really the problem, you must not let your body touch the network cable, otherwise it will fall short. ”
"Can't touch?" Lao Tian hesitated, could she do it herself? She was used to fighting enemies with a long sword, and she had never played this kind of hand-to-hand combat game, so she was a little lacking in confidence.
Ye Weiyang knew her thoughts, and habitually put her big palm on the top of her head, and poured a trace of internal force into her, "Believe in yourself, as long as you do it with your own efforts, even if you fail, don't worry that Xiaobai will blame you, I will bear it." ”
A familiar feeling poured into his heart, Lao Tian looked up at him, and suddenly his confidence was full, and he said firmly: "I will not let the hall master down!" Every time there is a lord's words, she will not hesitate to go to the soup. Years of obedience have made her die for him, not for the vow she made at the beginning, but really willing to serve him and never betray.
Ye Weiyang said: "I have carefully observed those who signed up for the competition, they all have weapons to defend themselves, and their skills are not profound. Except for Yang Oath's kid, I have fought with him, and he is on par, but if you are against him, you will definitely not be able to get any benefits. Therefore, I bought Qiu Huan and asked him to arrange a person who also uses a sword as an opponent for you, as long as you defeat him, you can directly advance to compete for the final treasure. ”
"Who is that person?" The same person with a sword couldn't help but be a little curious about the other.
"You should have heard of the newly rising young swordsman on the rivers and lakes, Zhuang Fulou. ”
Lao Tian smiled, "I've heard that two months after his debut, he was praised as the third master of kendo by people in the rivers and lakes. I don't know what kind of person it is?" "Shang Yuluo, the first master of kendo, is a female devil, and the second master of kendo, she is a killer, if the third master of kendo is also a member of the evil sect, then this river and lake is really hopeless."
Ye Weiyang joked: "It's a cold and handsome young man, and he is a good match for you." ”
Lao Tian couldn't help blushing, and exclaimed, "Lord..."
Ye Weiyang laughed, which made Lao Tian blush even more, and showed his daughter's coquettishness. Da Laotian's eight-year-old Ye Weiyang often joked with her when the two were alone, and both of them were used to it. In office, they are masters and subordinates, but in private, they are father and daughter, brother and sister, and the relationship between them has been established since ten years ago, and will become deeper and deeper in the future.
"Speaking of Yang Oath, news came from the Donghua Inn just now, saying that he tore up five thousand taels of silver tickets casually and gave the alliance leader a dismount. Lao Tian told Ye Weiyang the news he had just heard to relieve himself of his embarrassment.
Ye Weiyang was not surprised, "This is what makes him extraordinary, he knows how to give up the pros and cons between them, after all, five thousand taels of silver tickets are not willing for anyone, but in exchange for Han Lingfeng's other eyes." If he is going to be my enemy in the future, he must be a difficult person to deal with, but I hope he is not a member of the Demon Cult. ”
If Ye Weiyang knew that this person he didn't want to be an enemy and thought of the same place as him, he would definitely be even more reluctant to be his enemy.
Although Meng Chuanqing didn't know much about the Mo Ye Conference, with Shang Yu on the side to guide, he was smart enough to sort out the problems that the ten wealthy businessmen might have. After carefully considering each problem, he was already eight points sure that he would be able to obtain the final treasure. Because he has seen a truth from the previous conferences, that is, no matter what kind of topic comes out, it is inseparable from light work, as long as light work is clever enough, there will be no problem to obtain the ultimate treasure.
Ten years ago, the "immortal stilts" relied on outstanding light skills, and the same is true of the twenty years of "weeping when leaving people". Even though his light skills are not ranked in the rivers and lakes, he is confident that no one can beat him except for those who are famous for his light skills. Perhaps, since tomorrow's World War, he will also be famous for his light achievements. Thinking of this, he smiled confidently again.
"Brother, I wish you all the best in your treasure hunt tomorrow. Shang Yuluo left after leaving these words.
"Borrowing my sister's auspicious words, it will definitely be. Meng Chuanqing muttered.
Even he doesn't know that self-confidence is done for others to see, just like Ye Weiyang said, hard work will not necessarily succeed, and the key to the final decision is providence.
When Shang Yuluo returned to the room, he found that Jiang Moning was not there, which was a little strange. Thinking of the old man who sold porridge after coming back from Suzhou Garden today, Mo Ning has been depressed. Don't... She didn't dare to think about it, and walked out of the room with her sword.
When Shang Yuluo rushed to the old man's house selling porridge, Jiang Mo Ning was pointing his sword at the old man who had collapsed to the ground, his eyes revealing fierceness and hatred, "If you don't teach a child, what's the use of being born?
Seeing Jiang Mo Ning stabbing his sword into the old man's chest, Shang Yuluo hurriedly knocked down the long sword in her hand with a flying sword. Looking at the dying old man on the ground, her heart was full of guilt, "A thousand mistakes, or mine, Mo Ning, if you must kill him, stab me with a sword first!" After all, it was her carelessness that gave Ah Feng the opportunity to cause harm to Mo Ning, and she was the most damned person.
Jiang Mo Ning was even more annoyed in his heart, but said in his mouth: "My sister treats me like a mountain, I won't kill you." She picked up the sword on the ground and pointed at the old man, "But, this person must die!" She stabbed the old man with another sword, Shang Yuluo didn't stop it, and the old man's body pierced a hole.
Looking at the old man who was lying in a pool of blood, Shang Yuluo only felt sick to her stomach, and her eyes suddenly became dim, "Mo Ning, you go!"
Jiang Moning was stunned: "Where does my sister want me to go?"
Shang Yuluo said lightly: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, even if Ah Feng is sorry for you, you can't implicate the old man, I can't tolerate a person who treats human life like a mustard to call me sister, so you can go as far as you want." ”
Shang Yuluo's tone was indifferent, he didn't know how hurtful his words were, and after Jiang Yuning heard it, his body trembled: "My sister wants to drive me away... For the sake of these people who have hurt me, you want to drive me out, and in your heart, I am not even as good as them?"
Shang Yu said, "No, in my heart, you are as important as them. I hope you can understand that in my concept, all people are equal, there is no rich or poor, no one who deserves to die or no one who does not deserve to die, this is my principle. Once I violate this principle, I will lose the qualification to fight in this world, and I will also be ashamed of my ancestors. ”
Jiang Moning laughed miserably: "Then am I wrong? Am I misreading you or am I simply self-righteous, thinking how important I am in your heart?" She pointed at Shang Yuluo and said in a hoarse voice: "Has anyone ever said that you are very ruthless, your light smile is like a knife, everyone who wants to get close to you will be slashed by you, you are a witch, a real witch!"
Shang Yuluo didn't seem to care about her accusations, and said lightly: "If you don't know how to cherish human life, don't come back." She turned and walked away mercilessly. On Jiang Moning's face, tears were already pouring down.
That night, a fire interrupted many people's dreams. The old man's house was burned to the ground, and because the house was a contiguous house, the two houses next door to it were also burned to the ground. If it weren't for the fact that many martial arts people had joined the firefighting, I am afraid that more houses would have been burned.
The fire seemed to be jubilant for the next day's Moxie Conference, burning the house and burning everyone's heart.
