Volume 1, Mo Siliang Chapter 15 Afterlife
Early the next morning, a carriage entered from the entrance of the street and stopped in front of Gu Caotang.
The carriage attracted the attention of many people, even though they did not recognize the logo of the Ichthyosaurus Gang on the carriage. But they know that carriages with certain symbols are mostly either rich or expensive.
This is the box of 1,000 taels of gold that was promised.
Liu Shanshan looked at Suning, who pretended to be an adult and went to hand over the handover, and said to Pingyang Chao beside him with a vicissitudes of life: "Sometimes I really envy Suning, I don't need to know anything, I can be carefree and don't have to live so tired." I just think that I can have a copper plate every day, I can eat enough, and I can go to bed early and get up early, how good it is!"
He suddenly noticed this morning that the scholar seemed to have become very different, and he couldn't tell how it was different.
It felt like he suddenly didn't look like a reader, and he didn't have the bookish air he used to have.
"Let you go to Suning, are you willing?" said Pingyang Chao with a rare joke.
"If I hadn't met Childe before, maybe I would. Liu Shanshan sighed sincerely, and then asked: "Childe, everything is ready?"
"Well, he said that you should arrange everyone in Gu Caotang, and by the way, take Suning to Bijiantai. Pingyang Chao had a straight face.
Liu Shanshan glanced at him and scolded with a smile: "I have read a lot of books, you can't fool me." The first sentence will definitely say this to me, but the latter sentence must be said to you. ”
"It was to me, he told me to tell me. ”
"Get out. ”
After a moment of silence, Liu Shanshan suddenly said, "Don't you really want to quietly follow over to help when the time comes?"
He didn't ask Childe how he arranged his way, nor did he ask why Childe did what he did.
Pingyang Chao changed a very sad tone and said: "We are still too weak, once we make a move, we can't help in the end, but we will startle the snake and ruin the layout of the son for many years." ”
Liu Shanshan spat on the ground and said hatefully: "One day Lao Tzu will become a sword immortal, so that no one in the world dares to stop me, and I can go anywhere in the world." ”
"Okay, ambitious, worthy of being the four masters of Gu Caotang. A compliment came from behind him, but the owner of the voice was obviously not anyone in Gu Caotang.
The two of them were startled and looked back together.
saw a middle-aged man dressed in blue and purple brocade, who appeared behind the two of them at some point.
When the middle-aged man saw that the two of them turned their heads to look at him, he immediately put on a serious face, and reprimanded: "If you were to be an enemy, you would have died eight hundred times long ago with such lax vigilance, huh? What, don't accept it?"
After speaking, he twisted his long mustache with two fingers, looking like he was teaching his juniors.
"You're an old king again... Senior, your old man is also embarrassed to fight with us little monks, you are a big man at the level of a great grandmaster. Liu Shanshan rolled his eyes at first, and was about to scold 'Lao Wang Ba', but unexpectedly saw the middle-aged man in brocade raise his eyebrows, so he immediately changed his words.
The corners of Pingyang Chao's mouth on the side twitched slightly, he really knew the style of these two people too well, it was just a raccoon dog.
The middle-aged man in brocade was very useful, and then put on a senior style, and asked meaningfully: "Why isn't it the sword immortal who aspires to be the first in the world, just like the 'Sword Head Jiang Yuelou' who created the Sword Soul Dao?"
The corners of Liu Shanshan's mouth also twitched, and he said with a wry smile: "Where do I have that ability, I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can compare to that 'sword head', I think my talent is mediocre, let alone say." ”
The middle-aged man in brocade raised his eyebrows, and was about to reprimand again, but he caught a glimpse of Gu Shuleng standing at the door of the pharmacy at some point, looking at him with a smile on his face.
He immediately straightened his expression, lowered his fingers from his beard, and coughed awkwardly.
"What are you doing here? Gu Shuleng asked directly.
"I'm coming to see my apprentice. He looked right.
Gu Shuleng glanced at his mouth, naturally knowing who the middle-aged man's 'apprentice' was.
He glanced at Suning, who was not far away, directing people to remove gold and silver from the car, and the corners of his mouth were crooked with joy on his face that no matter how he pretended to be an adult, he couldn't hide it.
The bookkeeper is bookkeeping.
Then he said to the middle-aged man: "People are there, will you go and say hello yourself?"
The middle-aged man in brocade had a sad face, but he didn't want to touch the young man's moldy head.
Don't look at the simple appearance of the bookkeeping boy, if you really want to be angry with you, he will definitely ignore you without a word.
I remember that when I first saw the bookkeeping boy in this remote neighborhood last year, I was really shocked by the glass sword heart that was extremely rare all the way to the kendo.
Therefore, when he was conceited, he thought that with the cultivation of the Great Grandmaster of the Six Realms of the Sword Hall, it was impossible for anyone to be ignorant of good and bad.
It is because when he swears and boasts about Haikou, as long as he is willing to worship him as a teacher, and keeps his cultivation speed a thousand miles a day, not to mention, he will be a genius who is even more powerful than the three heroes of Gusaizhou.
Unexpectedly, the bookkeeper not only did not know what to do, but drove him out with a broom.
Originally, he thought that his outfit was not 'high-spirited' enough, which led the teenager to regard himself as a charlatan who cheated on food and drink. But later, when he put on the battle of the Sword Hall Hall Master, it was even worse, the young man simply ignored him anymore, and let him be useless.
He later learned that the young man was a temperament who was not interested in the path of cultivation, and talking to him about cultivation was far less interesting than talking to him about money and silver.
There is naturally a grievance in my heart, and the apprentice did not say anything about receiving this share, and it was rumored by outsiders about the deeds of "Sangu Thatched Cottage".
The key is that when he is old, once he sees a rare good seedling but can't be a Bole, it makes him extremely uncomfortable.
The middle-aged man in brocade probably thought of this past and sighed heavily.
Gu Shu couldn't help but smile, and probably guessed the intention of this Sword Hall Master Gu Fengya, most likely after receiving the news of the accident last night. I was worried that the 'apprentice' would be implicated, so I came to visit in person, which also meant to give some people in the secret an attitude.
It's just that he can't help but be secretly vigilant, the Sword Hall is a few districts away from here, and he can get the news and arrive the next morning.
There's something intriguing about that.
Noticing that the matter of checking the money and silver over there was about to be over, he said, "Why don't you come in and sit down and have a cup of tea?"
Gu Fengya, the master of the Sword Hall, was obviously a little moved, but he sighed and said helplessly: "Still not, in this situation, if I stay for a long time, I guess you won't feel good." ”
Gu Shu sneered, and had no intention of retaining.
Gu Fengya was puzzled until she walked away, the pace of departure was not only a small broken step, but also a three-step, five-step stop. There is a big picture of if you dare to be 'polite' again, and I dare to stay.
I just waited for a long time but didn't wait for a word, and secretly scolded the young man in his heart for not knowing how many times he didn't know how to understand the world.
However, he did not show it and left a bad impression on this 'apprentice' son. I can only hold it in my heart, and I can't hold back the internal injuries of this great grandmaster.
Watching the hall master of the Sword Hall's branch in Shangyuan City leave, Gu Shuleng's eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
In order to accept an apprentice from a bookkeeping boy, the great master of the Sword Hall visited Gu Caotang several times, but each time he left in disgrace. This matter has long been made up into an ironic story by someone with a heart, and named it "Three Visits to the Grass Hall", in order to test the attitude of the great master towards Gu Thatched Cottage.
In the eyes of outsiders, few would believe that one of the only great masters in the city would be laughed at by such a self-surrendering identity.
They all invariably linked the reason why this great master did this to the legendary young hall master, as well as the many powerful skills of this young hall master. There is a lot of speculation about the deep meaning.
It's just that Gu Shuleng knows it in his heart, it's nothing more than a meeting in Pingshui, and even being able to say a few words is because of the young Suning, which is far less divine than outsiders.
He had never expected that this Great Grandmaster of the Six Realms would be able to give him some help, let alone win the trust of both sides.
After all, although the power of the Sword Hall is not as good as the first-class forces, it is far beyond all the second-rate forces. Even in some aspects, even the first-class sects can't be compared.
Because the establishment model of the Sword Hall is unique, it is not like other sects and factions, and the power is exclusive in one state or several states. Instead, just like the form of those martial arts halls in Gu Shuleng's previous life, the branch halls were distributed in hundreds of states in the three major dynasties, and the coverage was the only one that could be comparable to the existence of the major Confucian academies in the world.
And this branch hall master was able to occupy one of the three major sword immortals, the eighteen sons, and one of the seventy-two swords in the sword hall in such a huge force, the "sword in the stone". The cultivator of the Six Realms, who was known as the one with the most solid sword intent and the hardest sword qi, was by no means such a comical act as he revealed.
Sometimes even Gu Shuleng can't really see what this great master really wants. After all, from his point of view, he really can't believe that there will be "goodwill" that can do this kind of thing.
Pingyang Zhao quietly looked at the direction of the sunrise, and suddenly asked: "Why do I feel a special depression in the city even if I only enter the pseudo-four realms, and my every move is far from ordinary comfort." Could it be that this is not because of the real four realms?"
Seeing that Liu Shanshan was also pricking up his ears, Gu Shuleng explained: "If you really enter the Four Realms, you will only feel more under pressure. Even if you are still much stronger than the Three Realms, you can still not move the full strength that the Four Realms should have. ”
Pingyang Chao was stunned, his face was incredulous, and he asked, "Why is this, could it be that there is an unknown reason for this?"
Gu Shu glanced up with cold eyes, and said, "Otherwise, if you monks who can mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth are really allowed to be comfortable, then the people in the city will not be alive." ”
Pingyang Chao was very puzzled, but he wanted to stop talking, he was afraid that it would involve some secret matters, and it would be difficult to delve into it.
Liu Shanshan glanced at the sky, and after seeing nothing, he couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that some great monk is squatting in the clouds and staring down all the time." I heard that the Seven Realms can 'sit on one side', and they can make a monk with a low cultivation level fall down with a single look. ”
"Then if you still look up, aren't you afraid that a look will press you out of the?"
Gu Shuleng scolded with a bad smile, and then explained: "Intersecting with other cities in the Dafeng Dynasty where great monks are located, Shangyuan City is a little special. It is rumored that in ancient times, several great monks of the Ten Realms used the magic power of moving mountains and reclaiming the sea to arrange an ancient large array to suppress the dragon veins and stabilize the weather of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. The city is even more isolated from the existence of heaven and earth vitality, and the monks can't fly in the air, and it's difficult for the imperial envoys to fly swords a little farther away.
"At that time, everyone who was in the city, even the monks of the Nine Realms had to be honest because of the power of heaven and earth drawn by the great array, and they honestly did not dare to act recklessly. Therefore, due to these various reasons, this place has become a pure land.
"It's just that now thousands of years have passed, and that great array is no longer what it once was, and at most, it can only bully and bully the monks of the Seven Realms and below the Seven Realms, restricting the mobilization of some Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. ”
"Otherwise, that second son of Yan who has just entered the Five Realms, according to his temperament, doesn't he have to come with a fierce sword? It's not that he doesn't want to do this, but because the remnants of the great array are still there, and he can't do it. This is not a secret, you have probably heard some similar rumors, not to mention that there are many monks above the four realms who will realize the unique difference here. ”
Pingyang Chao listened with a solemn face, and was a little shocked, which was really unexpected. Although I have also heard that in Dafeng, there are several great monks in all cities, but I really can't imagine that there will be a large array that encompasses the entire city.
You must know that Uehara City is more than a hundred miles.
Liu Shanshan's focus was not here, but he exclaimed: "Isn't it true that all the cultivation in the world only says that the Nine Realms are 'ends', why are there still Ten Realms?"
Gu Shu shook his head coldly and said, "There are still many things in this world that are inextricably linked with cause and effect, so it's better not to know too early." ”
Although he had also talked about some secrets in the past, although he didn't want them to be so ambitious and only talked about it generally, he also said a lot, especially the difference between the cultivation realms. Otherwise, as far as the vast majority of cultivators are concerned, even the majority of high-ranking great cultivators would not know as much as they do.
Pingyang nodded thoughtfully, knowing such a secret today, he was a little difficult to accept for a while.
Then I suddenly woke up and realized some of the reasons why Childe talked a lot today.
Liu Shanshan was a little unwilling and wanted to ask, but at this time, Su Ningxing hurriedly ran over, because the silver money was counted, and his own subordinates carried him into the backyard, but he resumed the joy of the young man.
I heard him run over and excitedly say, "There is so much money, I can't count it." ”
There are a lot of them, because it is impossible to raise so much gold in one night, and most of them are cobbled together with silver and objects in proportion. What's more, the Ichthyosaurus Gang has encountered fusion, and the gang is already a mess, and it is not weak to be able to collect all of them.
Liu Shanshan put away his previous thoughts and smiled, he knew why the young man was excited, in fact, he was also a little excited.
Don't look at Gu Caotang, who is in charge of the four streets, the taxes and rents of hundreds of shops and other profits, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but in fact, he knows in his heart that Gongzi is a person, and in order to give ordinary people a small stability, he has also worked hard to support him over the years. If it weren't for the fact that there are a few good shops under its name, it may have been unable to make ends meet.
Suning suddenly said: "Why don't you ask for an extra thousand taels from the Fish and Dragon Gang, anyway, they are also ill-gotten gains." ”
Liu Shanshan joked: "Why don't you ask for an extra 10,000 taels?"
Suning scratched his head, and said, "It seems to be the same." ”
Gu Shu sneered and scolded: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, don't be greedy and swallow elephants." ”
