Chapter 275: Deception
There was a knock on the door outside, Gu Shenwei was very surprised, he only moved here last night, could it be that he was being followed again?
If this is the case, the stalker is not only highly skilled, but also very bold, and even visits in broad daylight.
Gu Shenwei opened the door in person, and Chu Nanping stood against the wall, five steps away from the Dragon King.
There were three swordsmen knocking on the door, the leader was in his thirties, short and stocky, and the other two were relatively young, with thin statures, and although they had waist knives hanging from their waists, they looked nondescript, as if the murderous weapon was just an oversized ornament.
As soon as the courtyard door opened, the three of them squeezed in, stood in the courtyard and looked around, and when they turned around and saw the swordsman by the wall, they were only slightly surprised, and did not show vigilance.
Gu Shenwei took two steps back, and faintly formed an encirclement with Chu Nanping, if the other party was an experienced swordsman, he should sense the danger and react, but the three of them were more interested in the house, and they didn't know that they were in danger.
Normally, the three of them would be surprised to ask who they would break into someone's house, but the two guys were silent like wooden people, the short and stocky swordsman coughed, and a single thin swordsman raised his head and asked, "You two are new here." β
Gu Shenwei nodded.
"This is Boss Mo, all the swordsmen in this area are under his control, and he has something to say to you. β
Gu Shenwei had never heard of who the new swordsman was going to be "in charge", but he still didn't squeak, holding the handle of the knife in his right hand, and he didn't let go of the guard in his heart at all.
When the short and stocky Boss Mo stretched out his arm and put it on his shoulder, Gu Shenwei almost took out the knife, and Chu Nanping even transported the internal breath to his fingers, during the special period, although the Dragon King did not have to enforce the five-step prohibition, he could not be touched casually, but the Dragon King did not move, and he did not draw his sword.
The three swordsmen were still unaware of this.
Boss Mo had no malicious intent, and said in a hoarse voice: "Friend, it's not easy to go out, this is Biyu City, there are tens of thousands of people who want to eat with a knife, you think that your knife skills are very good, and the people are very special, but in fact, no one recognizes you at all." Friend, you need a referral who will show you the way out and will also introduce you to the job. β
"Is that you?"
"That's right. Boss Mo looked back at the two subordinates, "This friend has a bright eye, and he has a future." β
Gu Shenwei was just about to open his mouth to send the three people away, but Boss Mo continued to ask, "Have you heard of the Stop Killing Meeting?"
Gu Shenwei nodded.
"Have you ever heard of the Knife Guard?"
"Guru Rinpoche of the Four Noble Truths. β
"Hey, you know a lot, then you must know that the holy monk's mana is boundless to purify all living beings, and he is the protector of our swordsman, listen to him personally**, from now on good luck, the enemy's knife is always half an inch away from you, let him open the light for your knife, and from then on martial arts will be refined, and the world will be invincible." I see that you are an honest person, you just came to Biyu City, and you are not familiar with the place, so I kindly tell you a news, this afternoon the holy monk **, the whole city is a sensation, and tens of thousands of swordsmen want to hear it. I happen to have a few spots left, how about it, do you want to hear it?"
Gu Shenwei was surprised that the pedantic Master Lianhua had mixed up with charlatans, but he still wanted to see him, so he nodded, "Yes." β
Boss Mo stretched out his palm, "Ten taels of silver a piece, no bargaining." "He just wants money and doesn't even care about the other person's name.
In the afternoon of the same day, in an abandoned vegetable garden in the suburbs, the ** meeting of the holy monk Lianhua was held ceremoniously.
There were more than 200 people in the audience, most of them looking dazed, obviously newcomers.
As soon as the hour came, Gu Shen ascended to the altar for the familiar Master Lianhua**, and beside him, there was still the protection of the lotus leaves of the reckless monk.
As expected, the monks are still clichΓ©s, reciting a paragraph of "The Theory of Persistence", talking about a reason, the swordsmen tried to listen to the lecture at first, and slowly they couldn't keep up, yawning, boring to talk to each other, hoping to take this opportunity to meet a few new friends.
Gu Shenwei had been prepared for a long time, and as soon as he heard the "Theory of Judgment", he immediately blocked his ears with cotton balls, and he was so deeply affected that he easily didn't dare to listen to it again.
Near the end of the evening, Master Lianhua ** finished, and the short and sturdy swordsman named Boss Mo stood up again, said something like how great this method is, and finally said: "After listening**, you are all lucky now, of course, the duration is different, depending on the fate of each person, but even the person with the shallowest fate, there is no weapon that can touch you now." If you don't believe it, you can test it on the spot. β
No one wants to be stabbed for no reason, so they just look at each other and laugh, and they don't seem to believe it.
"That's good, I'm confident that I have a little fate, you can come out and cut me alone, and if you hit and complain about my thin life, if you don't hit it, you should make fun of everyone. β
Boss Mo has a tone of rivers and lakes, which sounds like he is setting up a stall to perform, "Who is coming? Who is coming? Why, living in Nancheng, don't you even have the courage to cut people?"
A sturdy swordsman couldn't be excited, said "I'll come", squeezed out of the crowd, pulled out a thick long knife, swayed a few steps in front of Boss Mo, suddenly broke off, and slashed away, everyone watched, and saw that the knife was obviously cut according to Mo Lao's brain, but he involuntarily deviated to the side halfway through, and landed on the shoulder, without hurting the target at all.
The swordsman touched his head, looking puzzled, and the audience exchanged heads, some began to believe it, and some thought that this was a negotiated childcare.
Five swordsmen were not convinced, and voluntarily jumped out to cut people, and the result was the same, no matter what they were looking at at first, they always turned around and passed by when the knife was halfway through.
At this moment, the scene was a sensation, and the swordsmen rushed up, all wanting to verify it once, but Boss Mo quit, "Stop, I'm almost done with this bit of fate, I don't dare to try again, which of you has a deep fate, come and take two knives." β
When the monk ** was just now, few people listened carefully, so no one felt that they had a deep fate, but they all believed Boss Mo's words, and shouted together: "Speak again, speak again." β
Boss Mo raised his hands and suppressed his shout, "Listen to me, the holy monk preaches the Fa once every ten days, and if you want to listen to it again, you will go to the Fuyuan Tavern tomorrow to find me to sign up, fifty taels of silver." β
The price has risen to five times, and the swordsmen don't think it's expensive, there are people on the scene who want to sign up, but Boss Mo refuses, and if you want to sign up, you have to wait for tomorrow, and then said: "The holy monk will give the weapon a blessing, eighty taels of silver once, and the effect lasts for two to ten days. Also, the Stop Killing Club was founded by the holy monk, and those who want to join will prepare a hundred taels of silver, and then listen to ** and open the light to the weapon, all of which will be twenty percent off. β
Most of the swordsmen had just arrived in Biyu City, and they didn't have much money on them, so they had to leave in a huff, but there were more than 20 people left, lined up, holding a knife in one hand and silver in the other, first applying to join the killing club through Boss Mo, and then respectfully asking the monk to open the light.
The sky was dark, only Gu Shenwei saw the monk's trick clearly, Boss Mo stood in a very clever position, his right shoulder was facing the lotus leaf, whenever someone made a knife, the lotus leaf arm would move slightly, pop out a small pebble, and hit the knife body, the monk had deep internal skills, accurate calculations, and the person holding the knife didn't feel it.
For this kind of deceptive tricks, Lianxin on the altar watched calmly, and Gu Shenwei felt incredible, which was too different from the monk in his impression.
He wanted to go and talk to the monk when the others were few, but he changed his mind, walked out of the vegetable garden, climbed through a low wall, and hid behind a tree to observe secretly.
The swordsmen who had opened the light of the weapon left satisfied, thinking that they would find two people to try the knife while the light was valid.
Boss Mo reverently bowed to the monk and then took all the silver with him.
Lianhua and Lianye packed their backpacks, saw that there was no one around, put on a cloak and hood, and walked out of the vegetable garden by night, hurrying into the north before closing the door.
Gu Shenwei didn't follow up.
Biyu City became more and more strange to him.
It is the most lively time in Liuren Alley, even people who don't have enough money on their bodies come here in groups to hang out, take a look at the amazing famous prostitutes, and then go to other women with a good impression, "Look at the meat on other people's plates, eat your own steamed buns and pickles, this is also an economic means of survival." Tie Hanfeng has an incisive summary of this.
Gu Shenwei knocked directly on Xiao Fengchai's door.
A girl with a gorgeous face but an indifferent expression opened the door, "The guest came unfortunately, Madame is not a guest today." β
Gu Shenwei reached out and grabbed the side of the door, "She will definitely see me." β
"Who are you?"
"The person your lady is waiting for. β
Yahuan hesitated, she hadn't heard who Madame was waiting for, usually the guests who came to see Xiao Fengchai were all hugging each other, this person came alone, and he didn't look like a rich man, but there was a certain majesty in his voice that was difficult to refuse.
"You wait. She said, hesitating for a moment, then opened the door and let the guests in, "just wait here." β
Yahuan hurried upstairs, leaving a few mothers-in-law staring at the strange guests warily.
Gu Shenwei took off his hood, closed his black cloak on his chest, hid his right hand inside, habitually held the hilt of the knife, and he didn't draw the knife for many days, and he felt a little anxious in his heart.
Yahuan walked downstairs, with a look of surprise on her face, and her attitude became a lot more respectful, "Guest, please go upstairs." β
In the small living room on the second floor, Gu Shenwei waited for a while before being allowed to enter the inner room.
If he knew a little bit about the rules here, he would know how unusual the speed at which he met Xiao Fengchai, and among the men who had seen the number one prostitute in Biyu City, only a very few could enjoy this kind of treatment.
Even if the vicissitudes of life, everything in Biyu City is not what it used to be, only this woman will not change, Gu Shenwei couldn't help but have this thought.
Xiao Fengchai under the light is almost the same as three years ago, and the elegant outfit and luxurious decoration are both incompatible and complementary.
"You look like you've seen me before. β
"I'm kidnapping Wei Lingmiao here. β
"Oh. Xiao Fengchai raised his head slightly, "You are one of the two killers brought by the little girl in Shibao, that's right, your name is Yang Huan, and you were originally a subordinate of the tenth prince." β
Gu Shenwei's heart moved, his right hand pulled out the knife, and then inhaled a little colorless and odorless powder in his nose, his body shook, and the hand holding the knife involuntarily relaxed.
