The steward wiped his sweat, and said in his heart that this young man looked very old, could he really be knowledgeable? Twenty-five thousand jade beads, although he made some money, but according to the price in the industry, it is already the bottom line, if it is not for this young man's sharp breath, not easy to provoke, even if a person with a three-inch tongue comes here, it is difficult to move him.
Suddenly remembering something, I couldn't help but stay in a cold sweat.
"This ......" said the steward, "Childe, there is one more thing ......"
Ling Sheng said, "What's the matter?"
"Well, since the return of the eighteenth island lord a few years ago, there has been a rule on the island. The steward was quite discerning, and knew that the man in front of him was more straightforward and had little nonsense, so he carefully considered his words at the moment, and said as concisely as possible: "Everything on the island should be taxed." ”
"Pay taxes?"
"It is the tax that is paid, and this tax must be divided into two, that is, if you spend 10,000 jade beads, you must pay a tax of 1,200 jade beads. ”
"It's a pretty high tax. Ling Sheng said: "Cultivators have always been idle and unruly, or unruly, or light, but I have never heard that there are still cultivators who keep to themselves and pay taxes and food. Could it be that after several years of taxation, no monastic person will make trouble?"
"Of course, there is. The steward smiled bitterly: "But the island owner returned from the Central Plains, learned extraordinary Taoism, and brought back several friends, all of whom are extremely powerful, but whenever anyone makes trouble, they all die violently for no reason on the second day, and there are even Yungang scattered people, which is really shocking." ”
Ling Sheng asked, "According to what you mean, I also have to hand over three thousand jade beads?"
The steward was speechless.
Ling Sheng casually threw out a magic weapon and said: "This magic weapon is not a rare commodity, but it is also worth thousands of jade beads, and the right to make a deposit, this thousand-year-old ebony boat, three more days, I will come to get it." ”
After a pause, he said, "As for the taxes, let them collect them from me in person." ”
After that, he led Fang Ningyu and left the Piercing Wave Pavilion.
The steward was stunned for a long time, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses, smiled bitterly, and said to himself: "It seems that this magic weapon is going to be in vain." ”
Although he thought that the young man would die, the steward was, after all, an old man who had seen people come and go, and since the deposit had been paid, the big ship should be temporarily assigned to the man's name, and it would be invalidated until the date had passed. If the person dies early, he should be invalidated.
However, before Zhou Lingdao attacked him, this deposit was counted, and it was for the signboard of the Piercing Wave Pavilion that he should also make some appearances.
Not to mention that the steward yelled at his subordinates to do things, and said that Ling Sheng left the Piercing Wave Pavilion, he went to the pawn place and threw out seven or eight treasures in exchange for more than 10,000 jade beads. casually gave Fang Ningyu three thousand jade beads, and then beat her out to play.
As for Fang Ningyu's identity, now that he has changed his outfit, the black monkey has also secretly concealed his breath, so he doesn't pay much attention to it.
The meeting place was determined to be the Yellow Crane Tower, and the two separated.
Ling Sheng went to the Yellow Crane Tower, paid for two first-class rooms, and then entered, meditated cross-legged, and closed his eyes to practice.
Half a day later, Ling Sheng's deeds were complete, and when he looked up, it was the middle of the night. As soon as he sensed it, he knew that Fang Ningyu had come back, just next door, but the little girl seemed to be restless and did not fall asleep, probably thinking about the past time at home, immersed in the grief of the destruction of her family.
After receiving the perception, Ling Sheng summoned the black monkey and asked, "How are you practicing lately?"
The black monkey laughed and said: "That princess apprentice of yours, I really built a few temples for me, in recent days, my body has gradually become stronger, coupled with absorbing the immortal mana in the Great Dao Jindan, although the ability is not as powerful as your sword qi, but the ordinary Yungang junior is no longer my opponent." Even if it is Xuanxuan, it may not be impossible to block it a few times. ”
Ling Sheng asked, "What clues have you ever guessed about the matter of the Eighteen Buddha Demon Blood Beads and the Heart of the Barbarian God?"
"A slight eyebrow, but not yet. The black monkey shook his head and said: "I think it's more important to restore the ability, I haven't paid attention to this matter yet, not to mention, if you want to go to Xuangang Island, the road is still long, what are you afraid of? ”
"Whatever you want. ”
Ling Sheng said a word, then closed his eyes to recuperate, and was studying the sword qi through the mysteries, but because of the consummation of the martial arts, if the true qi was used to walk again, it would hurt the body, so it was just the mind to study the subtleties, and there was no true qi to operate.
After a while, the sky grew brighter.
There was a noise next door, and it was Fang Ningyu who pushed the door and went out.
Seeing Ling Sheng open his eyes, the black monkey said with a smile: "It's only sixteen, after all, it's simple, everyone can see that you kid has bad intentions, but this little girl has a lot of respect for you all the way, and she completely forgot that you had to take away her Buddha and Demon Blood Beads." ”
Ling Sheng only opened his eyes, glanced at it, and then closed his eyes and ignored them.
The black monkey sneered, in fact, it knew Ling Sheng best, and there was no malice in this trip, but Ling Sheng's intuition. And the black monkey is a mountain god, and has the ability to predict the things of a year old, although this magic power can only be used once in ten years, and it has only been a few years since the last time, and it is less than ten years, but it has this ability after all, and it can't be predicted at the moment, but it has a little premonition.
"Hey, this little girl has some conscience, so she bought you an early meal. ”
The black monkey snorted, suddenly laughed, laughed, and pointed to the door.
The door opened suddenly, it was not Fang Ningyu outside the door, the little girl was still buying breakfast for Ling Sheng on the street, and the person who came was naturally from Zhouling Island.
With a bang, the door was kicked open, and the shopkeeper of the Yellow Crane Tower was on the side, groveling, not daring to stop it.
Four or five people rushed in, and the first middle-aged man shouted: "Last night, the Lang Pavilion kept an account of 25,000, and there was no tax, I heard that it was Your Excellency's handwriting?"
Ling Sheng didn't answer, the middle-aged man thought that he was afraid of the power of Zhouling Island, so he said again: "Hand over three thousand jade beads to ensure that you are fine." ”
Ling Sheng was silent for a moment and asked, "I heard that the eighteen island lords of Zhouling Island?"
"Not bad. ”
"Is there a person called the king of Zhouling?"
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and then said angrily: "You kid is not playing with me? The eighteen island owners on this island are all the kings of Zhouling Island, and there are eighteen kings in Zhouling, all of which are the kings of Zhouling, are you asking this to play with me?"
Ling Sheng replied lightly and said to himself, "I don't know where that guy is?"
This voice was not loud, and these people in the room were not some profound people, so they could not hear it clearly. The middle-aged man saw that the young man still didn't say anything formal, so he asked about it or ridiculed, and he was angry at the moment, and he was about to drink angrily, and he heard Ling Sheng speak.
"Is there an old white man on your island?"
The middle-aged man sneered, "What's the matter?
Ling Sheng said indifferently: "There are still about them." ”
"I'm here!" The middle-aged man said angrily: "Looking at the island, who doesn't know that Master Bai is the best friend of my family's eighteen island lords?
Ling Sheng stretched out his hand, and the window on the east side suddenly fell in half, and the incision was level.
There was silence in the room.
The middle-aged man swallowed his saliva and turned his head to look, only to see these fierce companions, all of whom were as pale as dirt.
Ling Sheng said lightly: "Sue King Zhou Ling and Bai Laoweng, Ling Sheng is here." ”
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and without saying a word, he turned around and left.
The shopkeeper of the Yellow Crane Tower didn't leave, nor did he stay, looking at the window that self-destructed for no reason, he was very frightened.
Ling Sheng waved his hand and motioned for him to leave.
"Don't kill me......"
But he didn't want to, the shopkeeper probably thought that Ling Sheng could destroy the window by raising his hand, and this raising of his hand was to kill someone, so he immediately knelt down and hurriedly begged for mercy.
Ling Sheng waved his hand slightly, and suddenly the wind rose, closing the door.
The shopkeeper was hit by the door panel, fell on his back, and two lines of blood flowed out of his nose, and when he was dead, he lay down for a long time before he felt that he was not dead, and quickly got up, bowed and bowed to the room, thanked him for not killing, and then left.
The black monkey was jumping out of the house, falling to the ground, rolling on the spot, holding his lower abdomen with one hand, slapping the ground with the other, and laughing nonstop.
Ling Sheng asked, "What are you laughing at?"
The black monkey laughed for a while before grinning and said, "It seems that I really met your old acquaintance, these minions don't know real people, and they look ridiculous." And the shopkeeper, laughing to death the monkey master. By the way, the King of Zhou Ling and the old man Bai you are talking about, are they friends or enemies?"
Ling Sheng said: "It's not a big enemy. ”
The black monkey spread his hands slightly and said, "Then it's fine." ”
Ling Sheng closed his eyes slightly and said, "When they come, they will be killed together." ”
The black monkey jumped to the window, looked at the window that had been cut in half by the sword qi, and showed a bit of ridicule on his face, and looked along the window from afar, as if he could see the street in front of him.
In fact, when Ling Sheng made a move before, a window fell, which was actually caused by the sword qi slashing. But for these ordinary people who had almost no cultivation, the white light of the sword qi was faster than lightning, and it was difficult to see with the naked eye, so they did not see the light of the sword qi, and only saw Ling Sheng's handle move, and a window fell, which was simply unfathomable.
The black monkey looked out of the window for a moment and asked, "Do you think your two old acquaintances will come?"
Ling Sheng said: "Eighty percent will come." ”
The black monkey said: "According to the monkey master, they will not come out of ten." ”
Ling Shengden opened his eyes, puzzled, and asked, "Why is this?"
"These two people must die on the island, how can they come?"
"How did you know they were going to die?"
"According to what the monkey master saw, he would definitely die. ”
Ling Sheng couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Who is doing this?"
The black monkey jumped back into the room, landed on the table and rolled around, and said with a smile: "This person is a traitor to the Immortal Sect, known as the Sword Demon, and has many treasures of the world. ”
After a pause, the monkey laughed again: "As for this person's name, isn't it you Ling Sheng?"
