Chapter Forty-Seven: A Game Within a Game, Changing Outside (Part I)
"Say it yourself, will your uncle use your head to give gifts?" Zou Tong said gloomily.
"This ......" Du Hong's whole body shivered for no reasonβhe knew too well how ruthless his own maternal uncle was, "Okay...... For the sake of Uncle Zou, for the sake of your uncle, for the great cause of the Hengjiang Gang, I am willing to sacrifice my little nephew......"
He was angry and afraid, and these words could not be heard at all. He raised his hand and trembled and took out two talismans from his arms.
One is the Flying Fish Piercing Wave Talisman, and the other is the True Yuan Talisman.
The former is equivalent to water escape, but the speed is not as fast as the Five Elements Escape Method, that is, the speed of swimming fish and dolphins, but it is enough to get out underwater;
Both talismans were very practical spells, and Du Hong wasted a lot of effort to get them. With this net worth, the grassroots step dust breakthrough blood exchange is also for nothing! It's just that our Du Shaoxia is reluctant to bleed.
"Hmm. Zou Tong unceremoniously turned his hand out again.
Du Hong cried with a sad face, knowing that he couldn't keep a few precious pills. He was extremely reluctant to take out the medicine bottle from his arms, and there were only ten pills in it, which were the elixir that had been passed down in the Jade Emperor Temple-Heavenly King Heart Replenishing Pill.
The Heavenly King Heart Replenishing Pill and the Qi Nourishing Pill are the same level of pills, and their effects are magical. The former is circulated by the Jade Emperor Guanshen Taoist monks, and the latter is refined by the Yunzong Yunque Sect, both of which are priceless and marketable.
The talisman is still a thing outside the body, and the elixir is related to one's own cultivation. If Du Hong used these pills, he would be able to break through the exchange blood immediately. But he didn't give up, and he always planned to save a few more and take them when he broke through the bone forging.
Originally, with his qualifications, breaking through for blood would be a kick in the door.
Zou Tong took away the medicine bottle and reached out for the third time.
Du Hong was shocked: "It's gone!"
"Heavenly Soldier SΓ©ance. β
This is Du Hong's most precious hole card, in terms of value, can be exchanged for hundreds of Heavenly King Heart Replenishment Pill!
"That's my uncle's life!" Du Hong said with a thick neck.
A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Zou Tong's mouth: "Are you planning to vomit blood, or are you planning to bleed!"
ββ......ββ
Wind and fire forging, Yanli small courtyard.
This small courtyard is not big, and there are six people here, which immediately looks cramped.
However, those present were all open-minded people, and no one was disgusted with crampedness.
"Zou Tong is stingy. Yan Li commented, "Moreover, his stinginess has penetrated deep into the bone marrow." β
Everyone doesn't quite understand where Zou Tong's "stinginess" comes from. Especially Duan Yan, he has been in the Hengjiang Gang for many years, and he thinks he still understands the situation.
"No, I think Master Zou is still very heroic!" Duan Yan said. It doesn't matter if he missees Du Xueyi, if Zou Tong also has a problem, his vision of being a young master is really ......
"Ha, if you don't have some heroic style, you won't be able to get along in Jianchuan City. Yan Li chuckled, "I'm afraid that in the eyes of the old Jianghu, his stinginess is already very famous." β
"No......" Duan Yan glared.
Han Xi nodded and smiled, "That's true." When the Jiantao Pavilion held a banquet, the ancestor privately scolded him for being stingy. β
The more Duan Yan listened, the more confused he became, and he was puzzled: "However, chartering the Jiantao Pavilion to hold a banquet is already a rare big deal!"
"The young master also said that this is a 'rare' big deal. It can be seen that Zou Duo is reluctant to spend money, so the big scene of the Hengjiang Gang is rare to see. Yan Li said, "I didn't think about it, why did Zou Duo use such a rare generous gesture to entertain us?"
"Uh...... Master Yan, you broke the sword with a hammer, your skills are amazing, you are famous for shaking the sword Chuan, you are the youngest sword casting master, and the Hengjiang Gang admires you very much...... "Duan Yan felt that this reason was quite reliable.
Yan Li blocked his mouth with a word: "There are so many masters in Jianchuan City, why do you just invite me, a hairy boy? And the invitation came in such a hurry, we returned to the wind and fire forging on the front foot, and he prepared everything on the back foot? Is this the style of Zou Duo Master Pingshu?"
"Well...... this" Duan Yan was speechless.
"Therefore, the reason is just the opposite, it is not that Zou Tong is bold, but that he is too stingy, and no other master is willing to deal with him. So he hugged the Buddha's feet, and he could only come to support Yan, a rookie. I think that flowing water mat will definitely make him feel pain!"
Yan Li paused, and then said: "Since the completion of the Jiangbei Wharf, the Hengjiang Gang and the Dongsha Gang have divided the river and ruled the river, and there have been many fewer conflicts, but both sides are not giving up and want to defeat each other. The Dongsha Gang was always one step faster than Zou Tong, and they were the first to form an alliance with the Wang family, transporting the blades of the Spirit Sword Pavilion to the east of the river to earn huge profits, and on the other hand, with the help of the Wang family's network, they reached into Western Qin.
This made the Hengjiang Gang uneasy. Zou Tong also had the heart to find an ally, but he was usually popular, and the masters with enough status didn't buy his face, so he had to win over Yan through the line of being less in charge. Therefore, Wang Sanshan appeared at the banquet with great momentum. Because, the Wang family was not only forced to fight by Han Laozu, but also thought that this banquet was a challenge to them by the Hengjiang Gang.
So, afterwards, the Han family and the Hengjiang Gang successfully formed an alliance, and the Wang family was wiped out. But at this time, Zou Tong's stinginess attacked. β
Yan Li took a sip of tea and slowly continued: "Kingdom City has a life-saving hole card, Zou Tong is a congenital master, doesn't there be a few talismans?
"At the last moment, Wang Guocheng rushed towards us and the others, could it be that Lord Zou Helm really couldn't stop him? I'm afraid that at that moment, what he thought was: The Hengjiang Gang and the Han family have formed an alliance, the wind and fire forging is not of much value, and the dead are nothing. If I hadn't prepared in advance, the results would have been predictable. β
Thinking of the scene when Kingdom City turned into a powerful ghost and rushed over frantically, Duan Yan and Han Xi both took a breath of cold air. The latter shook his head and smiled: "It's ridiculous that Zou Tong still thinks he is ambitious, but I don't know that he is stingy, and our Han family will also pick the door." The pass token promised to him has not yet been found. It is estimated that he has become an ant on a hot pan. β
"Innate masters are not fools. Yan Li nodded and said, "Even though I gave Zou Tong a reassuring pill at the time, he still sensed that things had changed overnight and understood that the Han family was dissatisfied with him. He also understands that he must make amends for the accident in Kingdom City, but at this time, his pettiness has flareed up again......
He wanted to make up for the price, that is, the gift was as small as possible, so there were all kinds of temptations in the sword fight the next day. His subconscious thought was: If the Wind and Fire Forging is not important, then he only needs to compensate Han Xi's share. If you can get back a handful of Master Yan's works at the same time, you will make a lot of money!"
"Poof......" Several people present laughed, including the youngest Guiyun. They began to feel that Zou Tong had become ridiculously stingy.
Shang Shaoyan reacted the fastest, and immediately understood Yan Li's thoughts: "So when the virtuous brother was fighting with the sword, he directly skipped Du Hong and scolded him back today." Buchen broke through the blood exchange, the status of the virtuous brother was long, and no matter how stingy the Zou Duo Master was, he had to bleed heavily, and make up for a heavier gift!"
"That's it. But the elder brother also said one thing missing. Yan Li said, "The conflict between us and the Hengjiang Gang is at least because of Du Hong on the surface. With the stinginess of Lord Zou Helm, he must have stripped Du Hong's furniture and used it to dissipate our anger. β
"No, it's not ......" Duan Yan couldn't laugh or cry, he had followed such a miser all these years.
"If you don't believe me, see Du Hong tomorrow, and ask him yourself. β
"See him again tomorrow?"
"Huh. Yan Li said with a smile, "If Du Shaoxia didn't come to the door in person, how could it reflect the sincerity of the Hengjiang Gang? This is also a necessary means to reduce the gift list." β
"Hahaha......" several people laughed loudly.
Only Shang Shaoyan's eyes flickered, and the word "disagreement" popped out of his mind inexplicably, and he said in his heart: The gift list of the Hengjiang Gang is already an outsider in sword fighting. Now it seems that I am afraid that in addition to this game, the virtuous brother has a bigger game!
Yan Li finally concluded: "The great gift of the Hengjiang Gang can be used to buy belongings. The compound is still a bit small, and it's time to consider moving. Less in chargeβ"
"Hey!" Duan Yan replied in a doggy voice, "Young Master Yan, Master Yan, where are you moving to?" My father's yard is bigger, and it just so happens that his old man also wants to be clean......
Duan Yan knew very well that although his father Duan Heihu was the master of Wind and Fire Forging, the current reputation and status of Wind and Fire Forging were completely based on Yan Li's prestige. With Yan Li's current status as a master, such a small courtyard is indeed a little worse.
Yan Li's visitors are endless, and each one is more scary than the other, what fairy dust crane shadow, what god monk Guangjue...... Every time he led a guest to this small courtyard, Duan Heihu was crying and sad. As for their own ...... Where to live and not to live?
The Duan family's father and son are arrogant and straightforward, they really don't care about this!
Of course, Yan Li can't take the lead, but fortunately, she has been prepared.
"It's bold ......to be a young master," he said with a smile, "but the courtyard of the big boss is not too big, so let's do it in one step." β
"Dare to ask Young Master Yan, how can you do it in one step?" Duan Yan scratched his head and said. He didn't come up with a more spacious place.
"Hahaha, can't the young master still remember when he sees Young Master Han?" Yan Li pointed at Han Xi and said, "The Iron Cloak Workshop is empty, let's pack up and move over, and the guarantee is more spacious than this side." β
"Uh, that's right!" Duan Yan patted his head and said. It has been a few days since the title deed of the Iron Clothes Workshop was in hand, but during this time, it was the Buddha of Zhuchan Temple, the Wang family, and Zheng Meng, and he almost forgot about this stubble in a series of things.
Shang Shaohong interjected angrily: "Since it wants to be spacious, isn't the Spirit Sword Pavilion more spacious? β
"Exactly. The Spirit Sword Pavilion is more spacious and the location is more prosperous, making it a good place to do business. Shang Shaoyan said, "The joy of wind and fire forging housewarming, Shao Yan has nothing to congratulate, and he is willing to lead the merchant class to sing a three-day drama!"
Yan Li shook his head and said, "Spirit Sword Pavilion is not good. It's too close to the hero, and there are many rights and wrongs. It's still cleaner in the ironclad shop. Moreover, moving to the Iron Cloak Workshop is just a street, and it can sit on two properties, which together are not smaller than the Spirit Sword Pavilion. β
Duan Yan naturally supported Yan Li unconditionally, and he also had a lot of affection for his old house and didn't want to leave. The ironclad workshop is just across the street, and the workshop has moved there, so people can still live in the same place.
"It's better to choose than to bump. Yan Li said again, "Tomorrow is July 12, which is a good day." Less master, I bother you to inform the big master, let the masters clean up, and we will move over early tomorrow morning. When the time comes, just let Buchen be responsible for sprinkling and sweeping, and we can still collect a few more congratulatory gifts. β
Duan Yan rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, worthy of Young Master Yan, in a sword fight, not only have you saved up your belongings, but you have even calculated how many congratulatory gifts you will receive, right?
Seeing Duan Yan disappear outside the door, Yan Li turned to the three guests and said, "Now it's a matter of the three." It seems that you still refuse to give up on the trials of the Mid-Autumn Festival. β
It turned out that he had the intention to take Duan Yan away.
The Mid-Autumn Festival trial of the Martial King was indeed something that Duan Yan was not suitable for listening to.
Shang Shaoyan sighed and said gloomily: "Brother Xian really guessed. Shaohong and I are kings after all, how can we ...... such a big thing?"
"Stop!" Yan Li waved her hand, "Don't say it so sadly, don't think about it so sacred." Isn't it necessary to dig up cemeteries to get the money of the dead?"
"Poof-...... dead man's wealth," Shang Shaohong squirted out a sip of tea.
Shang Shaoyan frowned and said, "Brother Xian, we must always maintain respect for the prince. β
"To tell you the truth, why is it disrespectful? The prince is massive, and he doesn't even care. Yan Li smiled, "Could it be that the ancient mound is the prince's own tomb?"
"Of course not. β
"That's someone else's grave. β
"Uh......" Shang Shaoyan also knew that this was nonsense. Since it is not King Wuwu's own, of course it is someone else's.
"So, at the beginning and end of the matter, the prince occupied someone else's tomb, drank the soup, and opened up an outer house. And his descendants, adhering to the chivalrous heart, with the consciousness of death, rushed in to lick the bottom of the bowl......" Yan Li summarized.
"Poof......" Shang Shaohong took another sip of tea, quickly put down the teacup, decided not to drink water anymore, and said with a smile, "Hearing you say this, it seems that this is really the case......
"Even so...... Shang Shaoyan couldn't help but raise his voice, "We ...... after all"
He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but everyone present understood what he meant.
They are the descendants of the descendants of the King of Martial Arts. In any case, there should be no absence from this trial. Especially the inheritance of the Martial King, it should not fall into the hands of outsiders!
Obviously, they couldn't see through the mystery of this game, and they couldn't guess the decoy sword spectrum of the Martial King like Yan Li, but there was actually a copy.
Since Yu Qingyue didn't tell the two brothers this secret, Yan Li wouldn't say it either.
"Huh. Yan Li chuckled, "If you persuade you, Senior Yu must have said it, and it doesn't make sense for me to say it again." It's better to solve it in the simplest way. β
In the eyes of everyone, Yan Li stood up, walked to the empty field of the small courtyard, and said proudly: "Yan Li has learned martial arts, and it is not yet ten days old today. Come, if you can go through three moves in front of me, you will be eligible to enter the game. β
