He turned around and rode away, but behind him Lan Ting refused to let go.
"You brought eight treasure gourds? Why did you only leave one to your fourth uncle? Or is it something that can't be used now? Is it possible..."
Hou Zi immediately turned his head slowly, "I, Hou Zi, don't need to explain my actions to others; you and I should know Quanzhen Sword Cultivator's attitude towards wealth and resources once we meet; I want to hack your Wen family's resources, why would I use this kind of method?" Stupid way?"
He drove his horse away slowly and never looked back; Lan Ting wanted to say more later, but was stopped by Lan Ruo.
"My sister, please stop talking. You can doubt everything, but you can't doubt this! My father is a straightforward person, and he never attaches much importance to resources. He has taken care of both of us, so how can he store any remaining wealth elsewhere?
Those rumors are not trustworthy in the first place. It is more likely that they were spread by Senior Brother Hou himself, with the purpose of making those unsatisfactory people kill each other.
There are also eight treasure gourds, but I don’t think even one treasure gourd can be filled!”
Lan Ting was silent, with tears in his eyes, "I'm just sad that those people died miserably and were worthless. And this, this person really has no compassion at all, and doesn't say a soft word, as if both of us are dead." …”
Lan Ruo smiled helplessly, "We are dead! Nothing has been accomplished in two months since we came back. We can neither help the family rise nor lead them out of danger... Let's go back. It's time for us to do something."
The two women returned from the fight. There was not much time left for them, but there were many things to do.
Lan Ting kept asking himself, "Is this a disciple of the Demon Sect? Is what he did right? Or wrong?"
There is no answer, only time.
...Hou Zi continued his journey back home, feeling a little depressed; not for these two women, whose mood he understood very well, but for him, who had already struck them with a sword and was too lazy to talk nonsense.
He was depressed because of that old guy Yu Zhengxing!
The principle he has always inherited is that you should not listen to evildoers and do not look at evildoers, especially the property handed over by others. Even if there is no restriction, you should not count it. As a sword cultivator, you should be restrained in terms of resources. , which makes him so self-disciplined.
Yu Zhengxing never opened the so-called huge sum of money to look at it until he came to Sanjiang City, found Agua, and checked into the inn, preparing to become a high-roller and spend resources to win the admiration of everyone the next day. Do you know how many spiritual stones you need to scatter?
As a result, when he opened the gourd and took a look at it, he completely gave up his original plan, which was how he later deliberately led the Wen family to civil strife and destroyed the family.
Five hundred spirit stones were neatly placed in the treasure gourd, and they were of low quality. Is this what the old guy called a huge sum of money? He knew very well that this was not a joke, but Yu Zhengxing really thought that five hundred spirit stones were a A huge sum of money, that's what he thought.
This is the sword cultivator! They are extremely stingy, and as their realm gets higher and higher, this problem becomes more and more serious. They are generous and often give everything they have to others, but the problem is that their pockets are, well, hard to describe.
Five hundred low-grade spiritual stones is not a huge sum of money for a monk at his level. For a family, especially a family with thirteen branches, it is difficult for one lineage to be divided into four. Ten coins? No, he still has to pay for forty coins!
If there are equal heads, then one spiritual stone will probably be given to each head?
He really couldn't afford to lose this person!
I have no choice but to take the wrong path and be forced into the devil!
So he didn't plan to act like this from the beginning. Wen didn't even have a spiritual relationship with him. How could he be so dedicated and unappreciative, and still bear the infamy for nothing?
But he had no choice! Yu Zhengxing, the one who deceived his disciples, had such a high status that his old friend Yuan Ji gave him five hundred spirit stones! As long as he had been more careful and careful when accepting the task, he would never accept such a deceitful person. This is not a condolence mission, it is basically a beggar.
At the Wen Family Ancestral Temple, he revealed that the contents of the treasure gourd were not only Yu Zhengxing's five hundred spiritual stones, but also the effect of pouring out all his savings to count. He pretended that only a part of it had been poured out, and there was still something dark inside. More treasures, but the rest are actually stones. If you pour a little more, the secret will be revealed.
The reason why Fourth Uncle Wen's family cannot open the treasure gourd now and must wait until the cultivation is completed before opening it is also the same reason;
When you really reach that state, you can see through the appearance and see the essence clearly, and you will no longer care about the number of spiritual stones, but more about the meaning behind it. For example, the name "Quan Zhen Jiao Yu Zheng Xing" has so much power. Much more meaningful than so-called resources.
To the Lanruo sisters, the behavior of the two demon sect disciples seemed to be complete, but in fact they were forced to do so. Of course, another Taoist leader would not be able to do such a good job, so it does not mean that he was wronged.
...Weiqiao, a large bridge in the south of Fufeng City, spans the Weishui River and is the only place that Fufeng people must pass when leaving the city to the south. It was also the place where Houzi passed most frequently when leaving the city to handle cases. There was a wine shop in the south of the bridge, and the old wine sold was very delicious. , as well as the famous sauce duck head, five-spice dried tofu...
It has only been seven days since spring, and it has been three years since I left home. When I return home, my thoughts are in front of the flowers.
Hou Ting stopped just a stone's throw away from Fufeng City, and found an open-air seat by accident. Following the same old rules, he received a bottle of wine, four duck heads, a plate of dried tofu, and a plate of soybean paste given by the boss Lame Liu.
"Xing Ji, you haven't been here for a while."
Hou Zi smiled, these are the most simple feelings that will never change, "I went out to do some errands. Come back occasionally to see how it is in the store? How is your home?"
Lame Liu smiled honestly, "Okay, okay, thanks to the punishment, it's all good."
He did not continue to ask further. The common people have their own common people's wisdom. Once, he stood up for Lao Meng, but Shangguan was taken away. At that time, major events in Fufeng City were widely spread, and no one knew about it. Now, now Now that they are back, if there is any secret in it, they don't dare to cause trouble for Xing Ji anymore.
This is a tacit understanding. No matter whether Hou Zi is now a criminal, a gangster, or a big shot, in the eyes of these down-to-earth people, he will always be the same criminal, selfless and unafraid of power.
So, if you see someone, say hello and pretend not to know.
Hou Zi could feel the deep affection behind this insipidity. Even if he was not a sinner now, there was no need to explain, and he couldn't explain it.
Several horses were whizzing by on the Wei Bridge. The young man on top was carrying a sword and whipping his whip. He was high-spirited and acted as if no one else was around. However, his horse skills were very good and he did not encounter any pedestrians while riding.
Lame Liu laughed and scolded, "Xiao Boy and the others are going out to the city to hunt again? These bastards spend their days dancing with guns and sticks, but they don't have anything serious to do!"
Xiaozi, Hou Zi left a group of half-grown boys on the front and rear streets, and now they have a hint of heroism; these guys were often punished and punished by him in the past, they are not bad people, but they are a bit noisy at this age, Hou Zi Tsuta even gave him a sword once.
"Why, these little guys haven't caused any trouble these days, have they?"
Lame Liu laughed and said, "No, no, I have grown up. Now I only think about how to go out and make a living, but I don't like the character and scenery of Fufeng anymore."
Hou Zi couldn't help but laugh. Such a young man is at the age full of countless fantasies. Looking at what Xi Zai is carrying on his back, isn't it the one he once gave him?
...Beside the Gujiu Wei Bridge, a young Fufeng hero met. Each of them had a gift, a sword and a golden saddle.
