Wencheng's feeling to Peng Geluo is that this person is knowledgeable, ideologically strategic, quick in thinking, often able to draw inferences from one another, and sometimes able to find a unique way, doing the opposite, the right and the strange are compatible, and often a casual sentence can reveal the essence of things.

In Peng Geluo's view, Wencheng belongs to the kind of person who is born to gain fame and become an official. Such a person becoming an official is not only a blessing for the court, but also a blessing for the people. Because no matter what problems he faces, he can solve them easily, and sometimes the effect of solving them is better than ordinary people imagine.

Peng Geluo glanced at the knife hanging from Wencheng's waist, but it was a pity that such a good pillar of talent didn't like to be an official, but liked to dance with a knife and a gun, it was really blind.

Peng Geluo depressedly drank the wine in the cup alone.

Hu Kaibin's conversation box was opened, and naturally he would not let Peng Geluo be entangled in the issue of reading, and the topic changed.

"Brother Wen, a few days ago, I heard a report from the imperial court that half a year ago, Tieshan City was hit by a natural disaster that burned the city by heavenly fire, and the whole city suffered. Legend has it that the people of Iron Mountain City were so indulgent that they angered the gods and sent down their wrath. Brother Wen, you are also from Iron Mountain City, do you know about this matter?"

"Brother Hu, look at you, this is the disadvantage of not reading. What kind of gods are angry? Great sages and clouds, people who read, should be ......" Peng Geluo shook his head and shook his head before he finished his words when he was interrupted by Hu Kaibin.

"Worship the ghosts and gods and stay away. I understand the reason, isn't it idle, and it doesn't hurt to chat a few words casually, no one will take it seriously, right?"

The attitude of these two people towards ghosts and gods can represent the attitude of the people of Helian City. People here have always listened to ghost incidents as a joke.

The news released by the imperial court is that Iron Mountain City has been subjected to a natural disaster?

This court is really good, seeing the fall of Iron Mountain City, even if you don't help, you can help it, and now you are still helping those mysterious people to cover up.

This made Wencheng's heart feel more and more chilled.

He didn't know where these mysterious people came from, maybe the court and them were all the way. After all, Shangguan Yan is called Princess Yuzhen, and she is one of the mysterious people, so there is really such a possibility.

The water behind this world is too deep, and the court colludes with a group of people to kill the people and destroy the city at every turn, does this still make people live?

If you want to live, any fame and wealth are unreliable, the only thing Wencheng can rely on is his martial arts, if you can join the mysterious person, it will be the best. Wencheng wants to join Shangguan Yan and these people, but unfortunately he can only think about it in his free time, and now it is more realistic to find a way to find the secret book of internal strength.

"Iron Mountain City ......" Wen Cheng hesitated for a moment, and his tone changed, "Although I have lived in Iron Mountain City since I was a child, I don't know the specific situation. I've long since left Iron Mountain City, and as for what happened next, I don't know more than you do. ”

"That's a pity, I thought I could know more from you. Hu Kaibin looked regretful, "I heard that someone saw a big fireball suddenly falling from the sky of Tieshan City, burning the night brighter than the day, and the entire Tieshan City was burned into ashes by the fireball. I heard that the area around Iron Mountain City is now completely dead, and you can still see the charred land. ”

Hu Kaibin shook his head as he spoke, as if he regretted that he had not seen the spectacular scene of the fireball burning the city with his own eyes.

"Most of the rumors are unbelievable. Peng Geluo's face was straight, "What kind of fireball can illuminate the night into day?" If you want me to say that it was most likely caused by lightning strikes, and then it was fueled by the night wind, and the local yamen was careless that led to a fire in the whole city, and finally suffered this catastrophe. It's not a fireball burning city at all, it's not a god's wrath. ”

Hu Kaibin hesitated after hearing this: "In the ice and snow season, will there be lightning strikes?"

"Why not, there are clouds in the history books......" was questioned, but it was still questioned by an unlearned guy like Hu Kaibin, and Peng Geluo immediately wanted to refute him.

"Alright, alright, I'm sure it's okay. Come, drink, drink. "Hu Kaibin didn't dare to let him talk about the word 'book' again, and he didn't care about arguing with him about who was right and who was wrong. Quickly admit defeat, pour the wine for Peng Geluo, and drink it.

For Hu Kaibin, drinking is so interesting, and when there is something wrong with his brain, he will listen to Peng Geluo quote scriptures.

Peng Geluo drank it unwillingly, and wanted to say something more, but at this time, the master of the painting boat knocked on the door and came in.

"Three sons, a father and daughter have recently come to the little old man's boat, they can sing a little song and cheer up a few sons, I don't know how many ......"

"Then call it up, it just so happens that the wine is a little stuffy. Hu Kaibin said indifferently, "Oh, by the way, tell them to sing well, and the reward is indispensable to them." ”

The owner of the painting boat nodded in response.

Although this kind of painting boat is not a special place for wind and moon, there is still a serious service for singing and singing. Even as long as you're willing to spend money, it's not impossible for you to find a special cabaret show.

A moment later, the owner of the boat came in with a blind old man and a girl of sixteen or seventeen.

As soon as the three of them entered the door, the wine glass that Wencheng had already brought to his lips suddenly stopped. The two eyes looked directly at the father and daughter, and he felt the breath of skill points, and it was still a very strong breath.

In Wencheng's eyes, the father and daughter are usually tight. The old man was dressed in coarse cloth, and the clothes were full of folds that had been pressed out, and then because he wanted to support the scene, the master tried hard to smooth out these folds. Although the girl's dress is also the dress of ordinary people, it is much better than the old man, her clothes are flat and neat, giving people a clean and tidy taste.

But these were not the focus of Wencheng's attention, from the moment the father and daughter entered the door until the two came to the table, his eyes never left the simple necklace that the girl was wearing around her neck.

The breath of skill points came from above this chain.

Hu Kaibin and Peng Geluo also discovered Wencheng's abnormality, this guy won't be a good one, the two of them said in their hearts. However, Wencheng is also a rich man, so it's nothing, it's just a matter of money.

The old man leaned over and bowed, "A few sons, what tunes do you want to hear?"

"It doesn't matter, you just sing it. Also, can you sell me this thing?" Wencheng pointed his finger at the girl's neck.

Wen Cheng said this, and everyone present was stunned by him. The father and daughter didn't expect Wencheng to say this, Hu Kaibin and the others originally thought that Wencheng had taken a fancy to the girl, but they didn't expect that he actually fell in love with the girl's neck.

This thing is very ordinary, and to say that it is a necklace is to lift it. It is a piece of hemp rope strung together several beads of unknown plants and trees, and in the middle is a rectangular black stone chip a little larger than a thumb. It's completely a simple decoration made by the countrymen from local materials.

After the girl reacted, she said timidly: "Childe, this is worthless, don't dare to ask for Childe's money." It's just that this is the only thought my mother left me, I can't give it to my son, and I ask my son to forgive me. ”

Not for sale? Wencheng was a bit of a surprise.

If this girl sells it, not to mention more, Wencheng will still give it to her fifty taels of silver. Since she was able to come out and show her face to sing, she wanted to come to the family to be poor. Fifty taels of silver is enough for her to buy a few acres of fertile land and live a life without food and clothing.

But girls don't sell, Wencheng also has a way.

"Can you show me it, then?"

"Absolutely. The girl untied the necklace from the back of her neck with both hands, and she regained her smile with a little fear on her face. Originally, she thought that this son was going to buy and sell by force, and she was worried about whether she could keep the souvenir that her mother left her. I didn't expect this son to be so open-minded, he didn't continue to embarrass her, he just wanted to take a look, and she naturally agreed happily.

After the girl put the necklace in Wencheng's hand, she sat down opposite and sang the song. "The breeze blows the half-pond sky, and the moon shines on the ......"

As soon as the necklace arrived in Wen Cheng's hand, a surging breath was sucked into his body. The number of skill points on the Skill Modifier panel is increasing rapidly.

Wen Cheng looked down at the black stone chip in his hand carefully, and the breath of the skill point came from it. Originally, he wanted to pretend to use the act of studying stone chips to disguise that he was constantly absorbing skill points.

Unexpectedly, when he looked at it, he really found the difference in this stone tablet. The shape and size of the stone flakes are about the same as an eraser, the north side is blank, the surrounding four faces are outlined by fine fine lines outlining some intricate patterns, and the front is a spindle-shaped pattern, which looks like two rows of jagged peaks, and like the mouth of something, I don't know what I want to express.

Whether it is the pattern or the pattern, it is very shallow, if it weren't for Wencheng's sharp eyes, it would really be a little unclear. I don't know if it was originally like this, or if it was worn out like this later.

Hu Kaibin and the two looked at each other, looking at Wencheng so focused, the two of them felt bored whether they were drinking or listening to music. They had long heard that Wencheng was interested in antiques and some strange things, but they didn't expect him to be so interested, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.

At the end of a wine banquet, Wencheng also sucked up all the skill points of the stone chips. What is different from the past is that after this stone chip skill point was sucked clean, it did not directly turn into fly ash like the things on those ghost things, but was completely retained. It's as if the disappearance of skill points doesn't change it in the slightest.

Pinched it in his hand and played with it a few times, making sure that there was no longer the breath of skill points, Wencheng returned the necklace to the girl.

And he took fifty denarii and put them in her hand.

"Childe, this is too much, I can't ask for it. ”

"Take it, the song is good, just think I'm rewarding you. Wencheng resolutely put the silver in the girl's hand.

Everyone present could see that Wencheng gave the girl silver not because of the song she sang, but because of the rough necklace. But everyone couldn't figure it out, how could a string of things thrown on the road that no one would pick up, worthy of Wencheng to give fifty taels of silver at a glance?

Wencheng was not interested in explaining to everyone, and Shi Shiran got off the painting boat with Hu Kaibin and Peng Geluo.

Standing on the shore of Bailang Pond, Hu Kaibin kept looking up and down around Wencheng, and he was slugging.

"I didn't see it, Brother Wen played beautifully. I gave the woman fifty taels of silver at once, why don't she hurry up and make a promise?"

Wencheng rolled his eyelids and glanced at Hu Kaibin, "I said, I really rewarded her, I didn't think that she would promise her, do you believe it?"

"I believe in your ghost. Well, it's easy to believe me. Don't you like to look at things, so how about you find a time for your old man's collection to see if one piece is still fifty taels of silver? ”

Hu Kaibin had a dream of making a fortune in his heart, and he laughed loudly.
