Chapter 40: The Main Play (5)
Shen Feizhen was worried about Lingyike, after all, the world fights for silver, and a chivalrous and righteous chivalrous man like Lingyike doesn't look like a person carrying a lot of gold and silver with him, no matter how he looks at it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The price of the auction has skyrocketed, and in a blink of an eye it has reached the terrifying point of 200,000 taels of gold, although it is said that after the Tuoba Yellow Emperor came to power, he adopted the national policy of hiding the wealth from the people, but 200,000 taels of gold is already a very terrifying amount.
Tuoba Yellow Emperor because he overthrew the orthodox Yellow Emperor to power, the origin is not right, after ascending the throne, he implemented a series of reform measures, the most important of which is also to win the hearts of the people and implement a national policy, that is, to greatly reduce the tax burden and reduce local finances. Therefore, in the last 30 years, especially in the past 10 years, the scale of the government and the army stationed in the localities has been continuously reduced, and it has been replaced by the rise of some large gate lords, and in the 30 years since the Yellow Emperor came to power, the big gate lords have relied on each other to monopolize trade, and their power has reached the point where the sky is in full swing, and 200,000 taels of gold can never be exchanged for silver tickets in the official bank; only by going to some famous local money banks can the face value on the silver tickets be exchanged.
It is worth mentioning that in recent times, the prosperity of commercial exchanges has reached its peak, and the merchants have become rich, and the people have not been able to survive in this situation, although their lives have not improved, but they can still barely survive by relying on the regular relief of Buddhism.
On the one hand, Buddhism demanded money from the merchants and gentry to help the poor people, and on the other hand, the merchants and gentry recklessly amassed wealth, oppressed, extravagant, and indulged in all kinds of evils from the poor people.
Originally, the government power that occupied the most important position between the three, due to the deliberate action of the Tuoba Yellow Emperor, decentralized, so that the local chaebols sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and frantically amassed wealth, and these rich and unkind guys were not willing to give even a little bit of their wealth to the ordinary people, so they could only be mediated by Buddhism, using their influence to force the chaebol to take out the money in their pockets.
Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, Buddhism is as important as a savior, and its status is sacred, and ordinary people treat Buddhism and Buddha, even if they do not have a firm faith, they are full of worship and do not allow others to blaspheme;
After all, wealth can't buy the earth-shattering supernatural powers of the masters of Buddhism.
What Shen Fei didn't notice was that his intention to break the Taoist Sect into the aristocratic society, so as to form a situation of confrontation with the Buddhist Sect, was actually intensifying the contradiction between the upper and lower classes, or helping the nobles standing in high positions to further squeeze the people at the bottom, and he was actually developing in the direction he hated the most.
At this moment, he didn't realize this, so after a few years, it almost caused irreparable consequences, so I won't mention it here for the time being, and I'll leave it for later.
The price of the bone sword soared all the way, and finally reached a terrifying 250,000 taels of gold, after reaching this number, Lingyike, who was one of the competitors, finally hesitated, it seemed that his bottom line was 250,000 taels of gold, beyond this number, it would be beyond his bottom line.
He looked at the other man strangely, as if he was trying to find some important information in the round, smiling face. The fat man who was bidding with him was still pouring snacks into his mouth, looking like he didn't care, as if no matter how far the price went today, he was already determined to get it. His stomach was like a garbage can, and the snacks entered his mouth, and he swallowed them one by one without seeing how to chew them.
This fat man is dressed in white clothes, wearing a gold badge on his chest, his belly is big, his hair is not long, he has wiped his hair oil and combed it neatly, and the oil is shiny, which is actually an exaggerated middle part shape. He is not tall, his cheeks bulge outward, and the flesh on it looks tight, not as swollen as Lei Zongheng's, but the evil smile at the corner of his mouth makes people uncomfortable, as if he is brewing some evil idea.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the clothed guest gave up and continued to increase the price, stood up from behind the screen, and said to the fat man not far away: "I heard that the sect master of the Demon Sect Hades has an adopted son, who was born white and fat, but he is a good assassinator, and he once committed a major case of assassinating the deputy owner of Penglai Island, although it was not successful, but it was also shocking. That person's name is Yan Jie, do you know him?"
"I don't know, I don't know, how can I know about such troublesome things. The fat man continued to throw snacks into his mouth, his belly was so big that he could only sit flat in his seat, which looked funny.
The Cloth Guest continued: " It is said that Yan Jie often takes over assassination tasks, and sometimes in order to squat to guard the hunted object, he needs to go without food for several days and nights, let alone act, so he has developed the habit of overeating, eating Hesai on weekdays, and when it is time to accept the task, he will not eat or drink water for a few days and nights, and at the same time do not close his eyes for several days and nights to rest, waiting for the best time to assassinate the prey; γ β
"Is there such a thing?" Although he still looked puzzled, the fat man did stop eating.
The clothed man walked over to him and said in an accentuated tone: "Because Yan Jie often accepts assassination missions in the black market that ordinary assassins dare not take over, and he is always able to complete them very well, he rarely misses, so he has accumulated a wealth that rivals the wealth. Rumor has it that he has a stronghold of his own on earth, in which all the gold and silver treasures are piled up. β
"Hehe, it turns out that there are such strange people in the world. The fat man twisted his ass and struggled to get up from his seat, only to realize that his legs were really short, "However, I wonder how Your Excellency could know so much about a killer that everyone fears. β
The clothed man turned his back to him, as if he intended to give up the empty door to the other party, opened his arms, and said to the people behind the screen like a speech: "Yan Jie, oh no, it is more appropriate to call Death Jie, he is ranked thirteenth on the killer list, and no one knows the legend about him, who doesn't know, everyone says yes and no." β
With such a loud publicity, the dignitaries and dignitaries behind the screen all heard the overtones in his words, but fell silent.
According to Lingyike, this person named Yan Jie seems to be very similar to the fat man in front of him!
At this time, Shen Fei's heart was surging with turbulent waves, Yan Jie, the adopted son of the sect master of the Hades King Sect, and the assassin ranked thirteenth in the assassination world? Such a person actually appeared in Cuilan Xuan with a swagger, facing the person in the righteous path with the clothed guest, and between himself, the rising star of the main peak of Shu Mountain, there was no slightest sense of tension, and sure enough, this place in the world was a place where fish and dragons were mixed.
If it weren't for the cloth guest who said it himself, he really didn't know that the Holy Sect Master who was praised by the Demon Sect had not only a biological son Yan Tiantian, but also an adopted son named Yan Jie. And in comparison, Yan Jie is a little more normal, unlike Yan Tiantian, who hides his true face under a wooden helmet all day long. If you think about it further, the demon of the Demon Sect is right in front of you, do you want to eliminate the harm for the people, take this opportunity to kill him, and avoid a big trouble for one of the henchmen of the righteous path.
Shen Fei looked at the fat man behind the clothed guest, seeing that the evil smile on his face was still there, but his eyes were tightly biting the empty door behind the clothed guest, and he looked eager to try, which strengthened the idea in his heart, it seemed that this fat man was Yan Jie.
Did the clothier point out his identity to his face in order to force him away?
He secretly sweated for the empty door of the clothed guest, and said in his heart: You are really desperate.
When confronting the Demon Sect in Dragon Tiger Mountain, Shen Fei had met a Demon Sect who was good at assassinationβa Stalker who used the Spirit Gathering Bow. After Zhong Lirui's death, the Spirit Gathering Bow and Senior Brother Zhongli's relics were placed together, and the house where Senior Brother Zhongli slept before his death was sealed forever.
To be precise, Shen Fei had never fought with the Stalker, but from Uncle Yun's various introductions to this type of person, some clues could also be found. Killers are not exactly the same as ordinary immortal cultivators, and the value of the existence of killers lies in assassination, that is, killing the enemy quietly. To this end, they must first learn to hide their bodies to ensure that they are taken by surprise when they attack, then they must learn to run for their lives to ensure that they can evacuate safely after completing the mission, and finally they must learn to observe, and only by being able to observe and master the prey's every move can they choose the best time to kill them in one fell swoop.
The profession of stalker is not on Shu Mountain, and the Demon Sect Lie Bow Hall specializes in training this group of people, presumably Yan Jie's killer skills were also learned from the Lie Bow Hall.
The empty door was wide open and waited for Yan Jie to sneak up on him, but the other party didn't make a move, so he turned around and looked at Yan Jie: "It is rumored that Yan Jie is four feet tall, short and fat, and in normal times, his biggest hobby is to eat...... Yan Jie, as a member of the Demon Sect, is also the thirteenth person in the killer world, and is the righteous path in my world, the most wanted object of Taoism and Buddhism, especially the assassination of the deputy owner of Penglai Island, which has caused the anger of the entire Penglai Immortal Island. β
The lord of Cuilan Xuan Xuan is a person with the star name of Penglai Immortal Island, how could he not know about the assassination of the deputy island master, but he organized the black market transaction in order to build a platform for his own benefit, so whether it is the Demon Sect or the righteous path, as long as he can afford the money, it doesn't matter.
Now that he was mentioned by the clothed guest in public, considering his identity as an immortal of Penglai Immortal Island, he could only say: "In the next realm, mortals can't know about immortals, but they always have a certain connection, and I heard by chance, it seems that three years ago, there were indeed rumors that there was an extremely bold assassin who committed a huge case of assassinating the deputy owner of Penglai Immortal Island, and he escaped with his whole body." β
"That's right, the people in the Demon Sect are bold and reckless, and the killers of the Demon Sect are even more harmful, and everyone will be punished. The clothed guest took a step forward, and the eyes hidden under the hat burst into a fierce light, "Your Excellency, have you heard of the legend about Yanjie?"
"Huh. The fat man met the gaze of the clothed guest, threw an unshelled nut into his mouth, and chewed it raw, "In the lower realm, the merchants do not have the same extensive connections as Lord Xuan, and they can't know about the immortals, but I think this bone sword is very consistent with Your Excellency's style, and it determines the beauty of adults, so I won't increase the price." β
"Thank you very much. Seeing that the intimidation method was working, the clothed guest arched his hand at him, and what the people around him couldn't see was that when he was talking to the fat man in front of him, the qi on his body had already locked the other party, so no matter what the other party moved, he couldn't escape from his palm.
Chaohuafeng gentleman looks at qi technique, what he is best at is to control the qi machine, close combat, in this closed space is the home of the clothier, not to mention, he is the same generation as Yin Chaohua, a whole round older than Yan Jie, and his strength is naturally above Yan Jie, Yan Jie, as a killer, is the most sensitive to the gap in strength, and knows this very well, so he didn't do it for a long time.
"But!" the fat man said, "the so-called guilt, the three bone swords can summon the Chiyou mount, whether it is true or fake, it is always a thought, Your Excellency is carrying such an unborn treasure, I am afraid that it will be coveted by others." β
Hearing the threat in his words, the clothed guest sneered, "You don't need to worry about this. β
The two returned to their respective positions, and after Yan Jie sat back in his seat, the waitress beside him suddenly fell to the ground, her face was black, her seven orifices were bleeding, and she died of convulsions, and her death was very miserable.
The black blood polluted the ground, and the entire Cuilanxuan suddenly fell silent.
A fierce light appeared in the eyes of the Lord of Cuilan Xuanxuan, he hesitated for a moment, and finally pressed it down, waved to the people around him, and said, "Go and clean up the corpse." β
The two martial artists immediately stepped forward, but they heard him say again: "The blood is poisonous, don't touch it." β
Shen Fei looked at the waitress who fell to the ground and died tragically, looked at her desperate eyes, her extremely pale face, and her body contaminated red by blood, a wave of anger rose in his heart, and he slowly clenched his fists: "Demon Sect!"
Suddenly I felt something, turned my head to look, and saw the waitress who accompanied me trembling, tears couldn't stop flowing, and a trace of pity flowed, and handed over a piece of silk handkerchief that she was carrying, comforting her: "Wipe your nose, clean." β
