Chapter 454: Entering
Ye Wen raised his eyebrows slightly, the two Hundred Treasure Pavilion disciples who were responsible for maintaining order seemed to be handling the conflict very fairly, but when they looked deeper, it was clear that the Qiqiao Zhai shopkeeper in front of him took the lead, but he had not yet returned the move, logically speaking, it should be clear which one was to lose, but the rebuke of this Hundred Treasure Pavilion disciple was also faintly pointed at him.
In this situation where the culprit is obviously obvious, they choose the mediation method of not helping each other, obviously because they don't want to embarrass the Qiqiao Zhai who has a certain status in Dongcheng District.
The older Baibao Pavilion disciple nodded with satisfaction when he saw that the young scholar was willing to back down, and then slowly glanced around, with a faint sense of solemnity on his face, and said: "Everyone, everyone who comes is a guest, I hope you can give Baibao Zhai a little face, put aside the past grievances here for the time being, and participate in this grand event to the fullest, and everything is harmonious and wealthy, it is the best." ”
"Of course, of course!"
"If someone wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, they can't get along with us, and we will never let it go easily!"
"Don't worry, you two!"
This statement naturally attracted a strong response from everyone present, and the real thoughts in the heart were naturally tacit.
Looking at the visitors from all walks of life with hypocritical smiles on their faces, a faint hint of mockery flashed in the eyes of the two Hundred Treasure Pavilion disciples, but then they were filled with an indescribable sense of fulfillment, this is the prestige of being the leading big merchant in Dongcheng District, although the two of them are not bad, but on weekdays, if you want to make these unprofitable businessmen look at each other, it is a whimsical thing.
"It's getting late, so please come in. ”
They glanced at Ye Wen lightly, and then returned to their original post at the door.
When the two Hundred Treasure Pavilion disciples turned to leave, the young scholar with an apologetic expression, Kong Qiao, who claimed to be the shopkeeper of the Qiqiao Zhai Spirit Sword Hall, immediately turned his head coldly and looked at Ye Wen again, and snorted coldly, as if he was quite dissatisfied with his failure to teach Ye Wen a lesson in time.
"Hmph! Kong Qiao's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he did not hide a certain contempt in his emotions.
Ye Wen tilted his head slightly, looking at the domineering and confident young shopkeeper in front of him, there was no trace of emotion in his eyes, not even a hint of contempt, as if he was looking at a stone that could be seen everywhere.
This moment, it suddenly made the young shopkeeper who thought he could easily crush Ye Wen secretly angry in his heart, this kind of contemptuous attitude hidden in the calm is the most aggressive, enough to make any person with an arrogant temperament go crazy.
"You're lucky this time, but your fate is already doomed, if you're afraid, I advise you to leave early, lest your two legs be broken before you kneel and beg for mercy, and look at my eyes. ”
Kong Qiao led the guards behind him to pass by Ye Wen, looked sideways at Ye Wen's eyes full of banter, and deliberately lowered his voice and said faintly: "The only choice you allow is to find an opportunity to beg for the mercy of Young Master Ning, or die a painful death in torment." ”
Ye Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at this proud and proud young shopkeeper, sighed, and suddenly said, "Ignorance is really a kind of happiness. ”
Kong Qiao suddenly felt a slap on his face, his face became extremely ugly, and after glancing at Ye Wen coldly, he walked towards the door where the two Hundred Treasure Pavilion disciples were guarding left and right.
The guards who followed Kong Qiao had a calm face, obviously seeing too much of the scenes of their masters clashing with others, and they had long been accustomed to all this, and the only thing that could make them pay attention was the moment when the object in need of protection was attacked.
When the arrogant back of the young scholar completely disappeared from his eyes, Ye Wen also strode up, and since he had glanced at the practices of the other entrants before, he was quite comfortable and skillfully took out the talisman from his arms, which was also an invitation, and calmly handed it to the two Hundred Treasure Pavilion disciples to check.
The two of them carefully examined the talisman that was flat on Ye Wen's palm, nodded, and at the same time put their left hand to their ears, and whispered a few voices of unknown meaning in their mouths, as if they were contacting and confirming with the people in the Hundred Treasure Mansion, and then they made way of a passage, stretched out their hands and politely signaled Ye Wen to enter.
"Please come in. ”
Ye Wen, who had just walked into the door, quickly paused again, and a young monk who also wore the Hundred Treasure Pavilion mark on his shirt walked up to Ye Wen from the side with a slow pace, smiled slightly, and said, "Please follow me." ”
Ye Wen nodded.
One in front and one behind the two people walked slowly on the bluestone road of the mansion, Ye Wen looked at the surrounding scenery with a little curiosity, although the design style seemed to be obviously the same as his own residence, but whether it was a subtle pattern, the decoration was obviously much more advanced, and the soft sunlight illuminated the buildings seen along the road, reflecting the light of power and wealth.
Soon, Ye Wen was led into a building made of white boulders, the outer wall was full of strange patterns, and the cornices raised diagonally in all directions looked like buildings painted with gold leaf. Along the way, Ye Wen saw many well-dressed people, following behind the guide like himself, walking towards the destination.
However, many people did not turn the same corner, and as the slow pace advanced, Ye Wen noticed that the number of people coming and going around him was obviously decreasing, as if he was walking from a busy street to some remote and distant alleyway.
Ye Wen didn't care, and continued to follow the leader with a calm expression.
On the wall of the corridor side of the building, a glittering golden jewel is inlaid every dozen steps, illuminating the columns carved with various rare birds and beasts on both sides of the corridor, and the white paved stone floor suddenly glows with a faint golden luster.
The solid soles of the shoes stepped on the smooth jade surface, but there was no noise at all, and the sound seemed to be swallowed up in the moment when the soles rubbed against the ground and were about to burst out, and the long corridor became more and more quiet as the number of people decreased.
The long and seemingly endless road finally came to an end, and after a dozen more steps, you would come across the big stone gate that stood in front of you. The taciturn leader along the way skillfully stretched out his hand and pressed hard against the wall on the left side of the door, a faint golden light flashed on his hand, and then the stone door in front of him automatically opened to both sides and behind him.
Another corridor appeared in front of him, but this time he only walked for more than a dozen zhang before he stopped again, because there was a smaller stone gate blocking the way, but on both sides of the door there were two more disciples of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion wearing gorgeous clothes.
They didn't squint, they stood in front of the door like statues, and they didn't seem to care about the arrival of Ye Wen, who was obviously not a disciple of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, and they didn't seem to have any intention of checking and verifying their identities.
The guide also seemed not to see the two guards, stretched out his hand to himself, pressed it on the stone door and gently pushed it, and a light became brighter and thicker with the expansion of the crack in the door, reflecting the eyes of Ye Wen who was walking behind.
A huge square appeared in front of Ye Wen's eyes.
