Chapter 1: Taegu Castle

The four gates of the drum tower in the center of Taigu City correspond to the four streets of the east, west, north and south respectively, especially the south street is the most lively. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This street is the closest to the White Pagoda, and there are many people who come to visit it. Therefore, there are many restaurants and restaurants, and there is an endless stream of vendors who come and go from the south to the north to do business.

"Boy, didn't I tell you yesterday that you weren't allowed to set up a stall here? Why are you here again today?

Li Gouzi, a local snake on the side of a street in Taigu City, relies on himself to be a local, and specializes in bullying people who come to Taigu City from other towns to beg for a living and do small business.

At this time, he bared his teeth, tilted his head, and picked his teeth with a toothpick in his mouth. Rolling his eyes and looking at his face full of unkindness, he thought that he would find some foreign unlucky guy to have a good time today, so that these outsiders would know that they knew how good they were. What if these people promote their own mold.

Behind him, two dark-skinned and fleshy men walked to a street stall owned by a young man in his twenties. At this moment, the young man was holding a carving knife, his head down, and he was concentrating on carving a stone seal.

The young man was sitting at a yellow wooden table, with a small stool at his feet, and on his knees was covered with a coarse cloth, on which he held a stone seal of ordinary material in his left hand, and in his right hand he held a carving knife and carved something on the stone seal.

There were already a lot of people around, looking curiously at the young man's hand.

There were two or three young women with a flush on their faces, and from time to time they looked at the stone marks in the young man's hands, and their eyes were full of beauty. And his eyes were more at the face of the man who was first, his face was flushed and his eyes deepened a little, and they whispered to each other.

When Li Gouzi saw this, he opened his mouth and wanted to attack this young man, but suddenly saw a person in the crowd, his heart tightened, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back in an instant, and he swallowed back the words he was about to blurt out, and then looked at the man's eyes.

With the young man's carving knife carved down one by one, the knife is like flowing water, the knife goes to the edge, sometimes the dragon soars into the sky, its momentum is like a rainbow, sometimes the fish swings its tail, gentle circulation, sometimes the golden snake spits letters, for a while, the stone mark in the hand flies up and down, the stone flower falls down in a row, the sound of the knife falling on the stone seal, Ding Dong rustle, there is a natural rhythm.

Onlookers felt as if the noise and noise of the street could not hide the rhythm at all. It's really wonderful! Even Li Gouzi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it.

With the walking knife, I gradually saw the word "Taigu Xiangrui" on the stone print.

After putting away the knife and slowly putting the carving knife into a long box, the young man seemed to take a deep breath and gently blew on the stone seal, and the stone crushed above the stone mark between the lines turned into a wisp of white dust and was blown away.

"Haha, wonderful! wonderful! wonderful! The old man has a long vision today! The little brother's method of engraving is really extraordinary, and this knife method alone is not something that ordinary craftsmen can have!"

The person who spoke was an old gentleman with a ruddy face and a long beard, but the hair on the top of his head was sparse and shiny, dressed in a red robe, with one hand behind his back and the other hand brushing his beard.

"The old gentleman praised it falsely, and he just relied on this to support his family."

The young man smiled at this moment and raised his head to look at the old man, and the people around him couldn't help but light up: What a handsome man! I saw that this man's eyebrows were divided, with a sense of fortitude between his eyebrows, a tall nose bridge, and a detached temperament between talking and laughing.

The only thing that made people feel amazing was that there was a layer of white mist outside the pupil of this young man's right eye, as if it was surrounded by mist.

The old gentleman, who had just been full of praise, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw these eyes, and looked at the long box where the young man put the carving knife, and immediately thought about it.

"Boy, didn't you hear the dog master talking to you yesterday! If you want to set up a stall here, you have to get the consent of the dog master"!

A ruffian with a meaty face beside Li Gouzi suddenly said, causing the atmosphere of the surrounding crowd to instantly become chaotic.

At that moment, two people changed their faces, one was Li Gouzi, and the other was the old man who spoke just now.

"Oh, my, didn't you see that person, do you want to kill Lao Tzu!" Li Gouzi scolded this kid's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

"Shut up!"

In an instant, Li Gouzi was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and he "snorted" in his throat, jumped up and slapped the back of the speaker's head.

"Didn't you see Elder Xu here, his eyes are on a dog!"

"Master Dog, my little eyes have been looking at you just now!" This big black man, rubbing the back of his head with an aggrieved face, looked at Li Gouzi pitifully.

Coax!

Surrounded by people who knew Li Gouzi, those who had never seen it, and their notoriety had also been heard, and when they heard this, they were all stunned at first, and then they all laughed out loud in an instant!

"You!

Li Gouzi was angry, his fingers trembling and pointing at the nose of this subordinate, and he really didn't know what to say.

grabbed this big black man at the moment, and beat him violently in the back of his head, scolding while beating.

"Oops!"

"I! let you look at me!"

"Smack!"

"Oh! Don't hit the dog!"

"I! let you look at me!"

"Oh! Don't hit the dog! Be merciful! The little one really keeps looking at you......"

The poor black man still doesn't know what he's done wrong.

Li Gouzi was finally defeated by this person's innocence, touching his head and muttering.

"My brains......"

At this time, the people around him couldn't laugh, and it was strange that these gangsters were mixed to this extent.

"The old man has also stayed in Taigu City for nearly a hundred years, who doesn't know that the big and small affairs of the streets here are managed by the old man, and they all come to find the old man!

As soon as Li Gouzi heard this, he immediately trembled with fright, and almost fell to his knees, trembling.

Thinking that he was also teasing a woman passing by on the same street, after being bumped into by this person, he just raised his hand, and all the bones of his arms were broken, so that he did not eat with his hands for half a year. Later, I sent someone to inquire, and it turned out that this person was the elder of the White Tower, who was responsible for guarding the south gate of the White Tower Courtyard and managing all the affairs of the area south of the south gate. Usually practice in the White Pagoda Courtyard and rarely go out.

Li Gouzi had thought about how much back he had to be to be bumped into by this elder back then! Just kidding, this is the elder of the White Tower!
