Chapter 8 The Dead Ones Who Ask for Money Are Coming
In Taiping County, the house building of the Canglong faction is naturally the most atmospheric, different from the low and dilapidated houses not far away, the eaves of the Canglong faction alone are as high as more than two zhang, the base is made of bluestone, the white wall and red tiles, the indescribable momentum is magnificent.
Xiao Qianli paced slowly, and praised at the same time, it is worthy of being a sect that has been operating in Taiping County for several years, and it is really extraordinary.
He peeked a few times through the window openings in the exterior wall, but he couldn't see it really, so he had to turn back to the door.
At the gate stood two housekeepers, crooked hats, leaning weakly against the doorpost with waist knives, chatting with each other. Xiao Qianli coughed, and the two turned their heads to look at him, but turned back and continued to speak, as if they hadn't seen each other.
"Please, two of you!"
Finally, a family member raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and waved his hand impatiently: "Where did the poor Taoist come from?
In his previous life, Xiao Qianli didn't know how many times he had seen this kind of doorman who looked down on people, and he didn't get angry when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Please call the head of the noble faction, I have something to find him!"
"What?" the two family members suddenly stood up straight, glanced at each other, and said with a wary expression, "What are you looking for our altar master?"
"There's something to do with him!" Xiao Qianli continued to say seriously, "Please ask your altar master to come out!"
"What a bold man!" a family member opened his mouth and scolded, "Dog Taoist, what do you think you are? You dare to let our altar master come out to greet you?"
As he spoke, he raised his sheathed waist knife to intimidate, and another family member shouted loudly along with him.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the door, and a rich middle-aged man ran to the door with two entourages, only then did he throw off the saddle and leave the horse, and when he saw the noise in front of the door, he frowned and shouted: "What's the matter?"
A family member hurriedly stepped forward, took the reins courteously, and said with a smile: "Third master, I don't know where this poor sour Taoist priest came from, he dares to fight the autumn wind at the door of our Canglong faction, we are chasing him!"
"Daoist?" The person known as the "Third Master" stood up, looked Xiao Qianli up and down a few times, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Since you are a Taoist priest, how can you be contemptuous?" the man said with a smile, "That Taoist priest, don't you want some incense money?
Xiao Qianli was not angry, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask what Your Excellency is called?"
"Blind your dog's eyes!" A retinue next to him had just dismounted, pointed at Xiao Qianli's nose and scolded, "In this Taiping County, there are still people who don't know the name of the third master? Listen up! Our third master is Qi Jinglin, the chief steward of the Taiping Town branch of the Canglong Sect! Our third master Qi said his ability, I am afraid that it will scare your dog's guts!"
"Qi Jinglin?" Xiao Qianli nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I see, it's really gratifying to see Third Master Qi today." ”
As soon as they heard this, several people immediately laughed, and another attendant laughed and said: "This Taoist priest is really good at talking, and when he sees our Third Master Qi, it is really worth celebrating!"
Qi Jinglin smiled, stretched out his hand and touched it in his arms for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Daoist, you didn't rush today, the third master didn't bring scattered silver today, this reward is cheap for you!"
He stretched out his hand, and in the palm of his hand lay a yellow, orange and orange copper plate.
Seeing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Qi Jinglin's face suddenly changed, and he said with a cruel smile: "The most hated thing in Lao Tzu's life is a Taoist priest!
"Oh?" Xiao Qianli smiled quietly, "But I don't know which fellow Daoist offended Third Master Qi?"
"It doesn't hurt to tell you!" Qi Jinglin puffed out his eyes and said viciously, "Lao Tzu fell in love with a girl a few years ago, but unexpectedly he was beaten a few times by her dead ghost father, and one arm hurt for a few days and couldn't lift it - oh, that girl's dead ghost father is a Taoist priest!"
"I see...... Xiao Qianli put his hands behind his back, paced slowly a few steps, and suddenly raised his head, his face was full of sunshine, "That Daoist's shot is inevitably too light!"
As soon as they heard this, everyone who was still laughing changed color in unison.
Qi Jinglin's face suddenly sank, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled out the horsewhip from his waist, and said viciously: "Stinky Taoist, do you have a kind of repeat?"
Xiao Qian's face did not change, and he chuckled: "If this seat makes a move, I am afraid that it is only right to cut off an arm!"
As soon as these words came out, Qi Jinglin could still hold it, shouted loudly, and hit Xiao Qianli with a horsewhip on his head and face.
"Stop!"
At this moment of lightning, a loud shout came from the door. Qi Jinglin's whip swept past Xiao Qianli's forehead, which was really dangerous.
Seeing the person coming, Qi Jinglin immediately rushed forward with a happy face, and said with a smile: "Master, why did you come out in person......?
"What are you doing here?" Hua Ziyu interrupted Qi Jinglin's words, strode out of the door with his hands behind his back, and saw Xiao Qianli surrounded by a group, his face couldn't help but sink, and he turned his head and asked, "Qi San, you come!"
Qi Jinglin said with a smile: "The young master doesn't know anything, and I don't know where a poor Taoist priest came to dare to stop at our gate and ask for money! I see that he is rude, and I plan to teach a lesson......
Before he finished his sentence, Hua Ziyu had already slapped him in the face heavily, and he turned around twice in place, making the corners of his mouth bloody, and one cheek suddenly became red and swollen.
"Young master?" Qi Jinglin covered his cheeks, the whole person was stunned, and he looked up in disbelief for a long time, but what caught his eye was Hua Ziyu's gloomy face that was about to drip.
Before the family members could react, Hua Ziyu had already stepped forward quickly, a face seemed to be squeezing a smile out of the flesh, and arched his hand: "I don't know...... I don't know if the pure yang palm is driving to ...... These junior disciples are not sensible, and I hope Haihan will forgive me!"
"It's easy to say!" Xiao Qianli waved his sleeves, casually dissipated the Xuanbing True Qi contained in his right hand, and chuckled, "If this whip is solid, I'm afraid that Huatan will mainly open a flowing water banquet and celebrate it for three days and three nights!"
Hua Ziyu's face turned blue and white, white and blue, and it took a while before he smiled and said, "Xiao Zhangjiao's martial arts are amazing, how can these juniors compare?"
A few days ago, Gao Jin and the other four went up the mountain to gamble, but there was no whereabouts, and the Canglong faction didn't know how much manpower and material resources it took to finally find a few corpses that had been broken into meat sauce. Although the Canglong Sect has a big family, there are not many good players in the sub-altar, and the death of four people at the same time is equivalent to breaking the backbone of the sub-altar. At this time, seeing Xiao Qianli coming to the door, Hua Ziyu was naturally shocked and frightened.
Xiao Qianli smiled, gave a doorway salute, and said with a smile: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and today this seat will come to the door, and it is a special trip to send a prayer post to the lord of Huatan." ”
"Hello?" Hua Ziyuxin said that you sent me a prayer post for no reason, presumably it was a night owl who came into the house without anything, and immediately reached out to take the post, hurriedly glanced at it, and suddenly felt a lot more settled.
"I see!" Hua Ziyu said with a smile, "Since it is the ceremony of your faction to set up a mountain gate, Hua will naturally send someone to ...... at that time."
"The master of the Huatan is really fast!" Xiao Qianli said with a smile, "However, the construction of this sect really costs money everywhere, and the altar master should know it." Now that the Canglong Sect is thriving, it must be a wealth ......"
When Hua Ziyu heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, nodded his head heavily for a while, and squeezed out a smile and said: "Where did Xiao Zhangjiao say?
"Okay!" Xiao Qianli suddenly solemnized and praised, "It is worthy of being the Huatan Master of the Canglong Sect, and he is really arrogant! There is another small matter in this seat, and I am about to ask the Huatan Lord to assist ......."
"Still coming? Five hundred taels of silver can't stop this big mouth?" Hua Ziyu's eyes widened, and he was suffocated in his chest in one breath, unable to spit out for a long time.
As the saying goes, pulling the tiger skin as a banner and not squeezing Hua Ziyu dry, how could Xiao Qianli let it go easily? He chuckled and said: "The grand ceremony of the mountain gate of the Pure Yang Palace is indispensable to invite local dignitaries. It's just that in addition to the Canglong faction, this seat has not met other nobles in this county......"
The muscles on Hua Ziyu's face gradually cramped, and he smiled reluctantly: "This matter is not difficult, I will send one or two disciples to accompany Xiao Zhangjiao to recognize the way!"
He glanced left and right a few times, his eyes fell on Qi Jinglin, and his heart suddenly became angry: If it weren't for you, a bastard old boy, shouting and screaming, how could Young Master Ben come out to check? How could he suffer such a great humiliation? If it weren't for you shouting and shouting to kill, how could I give away five hundred taels of silver in one go?
After making up his mind, Hua Ziyu snorted coldly: "Qi San, you are familiar with the local people, so you will accompany the master to go together!"
After Qi San was slapped, he stood aside stupidly, and saw that even Hua Ziyu, the master of the Canglong Sect who was majestic in Taiping County, was respectful in front of the young Taoist, and he was already so shocked that his soul fell in half. I just secretly complained in my heart, and at this time, I was called by Hua Ziyu, so I had to come over tremblingly, and arched my hand: "In the next ...... Yes!"
Hua Ziyu endured his unhappiness and reluctantly smiled: "I don't know what Xiao Zhangjiao thinks?"
Xiao Qianli smiled slightly, and said: "Lord Huatan is really too polite, since this is the case, this seat has also received this favor." ”
Hua Ziyu smiled again and again, and kindly ordered Qi to come over, and explained in a low voice, but suddenly his heart moved, and he lowered his voice and said: "Qi San, you will go to each house to send a message in a while, and take out some prestige." Our family gave five hundred taels of silver, and those big businessmen and even officials can't be much less than this number, understand?"
Seeing that the steward was unknown, Hua Ziyu's face sank, and he ordered: "Do what I tell you honestly, do you hear?"
Being yelled at by the altar master, Qi Jinglin suddenly resigned, came to Xiao Qianli with a sad face, bowed down and said, "Sect master, let's ...... Let's go, shall we?"
Xiao Qianli didn't pay attention to Hua Ziyu's instructions, and chuckled at the moment: "There is the third master of Lao Qi!"
Hearing Xiao Qianli's apostrophe, Qi Jinglin suddenly became half shorter, and said resignedly: "Don't dare...... Don't dare, the head coach only calls me Qi San......"
Seeing the two leave, Hua Ziyu's face suddenly turned pale, and he snorted coldly: "Boy, let you be arrogant for a few days, Lao Tzu wants to see how your Pure Yang Palace has a foothold in this Taiping County!"
He tore the worship post to shreds in a few strokes, hurried back to the study, instructed his subordinates to study ink, thought for a moment, and then wrote a letter, explaining how the Chunyang Palace was flying and domineering, and the Canglong faction was in the same vein of martial arts, and did not want to create more disputes. He also ordered people to copy more than ten letters, stamped them, sealed them with fire paint, and instructed: "You send people to follow Qi San, no matter which family they go to, you can send someone to deliver the letter to the head of that family later." ”
Immediately, several people took the order and left, and Hua Tianfeng smiled and said to himself: "It's fast, it's fast." As soon as the masters of the sect arrive, the day of your mountain gate ceremony will be the time when your Pure Yang Palace has a bad reputation!
