Chapter 228 The Wonderful Experience of the Blackwater Bandit!
Chapter 228 The wonderful experience of the Blackwater Bandit!
Wang Sheng has a very distinctive face, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a wide nose and a wide mouth. He looks very lucky at first glance.
However, his figure was rather thin, which did not match his face shape. Later, few people mentioned the word "lucky" to him.
Another strange thing is that this man is clearly in his thirties, but his temples are already gray, and wrinkles have begun to appear on his forehead and at the corners of his eyes, making him look quite old.
In fact, this Wang Sheng actually has a connection with Jia Lian. He was not originally named Wang, nor was he named Wang Sheng.
His real surname is Zhang, and his name is Zhang Damao. He is from Antai County. That year, several legendary warriors fought in Antai County, resulting in his family of seven, including his mother-in-law who had just been married for two years and had not yet had time to give birth, and his wife.
My parents and brothers were all crushed to death by the collapsed house.
Although the government later compensated him, because the Weihuo Huxingjun Temple was to be built, the location of his house was just right, so it was expropriated by the county government.
The magistrate of Antai County, Lu Dou, did not go too far. Although it was a pile of ruins, he still gave Zhang Damao a "collection fee" of 80% of the market price of the house.
But it happened that Zhang Damao was a spoiled child, and grew up to be a lazy gangster. With money in hand, he first upheld his few filial piety and spent some money to bury all his family members.
Zhang Damao began a happy life of either prostitution or gambling...
But the so-called "suffering" is due to the "collection money" issued by the government. If this Da Mao is a man who knows how to live, even if he is a little rough, it will be enough for him to settle down and start a business in Antai County.
At that time, there were also many women from good families who had suffered disasters in Antai County, and with so much money on hand, it would not be difficult for Zhang Damao to find someone to live a stable life.
It's a pity that this master seems to have never had such an idea in his mind.
In less than half a year, Zhang Damao squandered all the more than 100 taels of silver put down by the government. When the money bottomed out and he saw that he had no money for the next day's meal, he regretted it.
But it's too late to regret it. What can Zhang Damao do?
Go to the county government to get some money?
Come on, although he is lazy and indolent, he is not really a fool.
After the great disaster in Antai County, this Lu County Master of their Antai County not only was not implicated in the liquidation, it is said that he even embraced a thigh that reaches straight to the sky. Now his foundation is extremely deep.
Zhang Damao, a little gangster who has no power and no money now, dares to go to the county government office to extort money. He thinks he has a long life...
In addition, in the past six months, his dissolute behavior has long been known to the neighbors who were familiar with him in the past. At first, people thought it was because he was heartbroken after the death of his family members.
Later, I found out that this guy was happy to miss Shu every day, so he gradually began to despise him.
His reputation was ruined, so he couldn't survive in his hometown. Finally, he gritted his teeth, packed his last belongings, and left Antai County to start a wandering life.
When begging on the street, you have to find a place where no one knows you.
When he returned from his dream at midnight, Zhang Damao was so ashamed that he felt that he would not have the face to face his parents and ancestors after death.
Then I came up with the idea of changing my name...
Later, while sleeping in a dilapidated mountain temple, he met a seriously ill scholar by chance, and Zhang Damao suddenly felt kindhearted for some reason.
Maybe it was because of the bag of dry food next to the seriously ill scholar, or maybe it was because I felt ashamed for several days in a row and didn't even care about whether he was infected or not.
In short, Zhang Damao took care of the scholar in the dilapidated mountain temple for three days, until the scholar could no longer be cured and eventually died of illness.
During these three days of getting along, the scholar was very grateful to Zhang Damao, and discovered that Zhang Damao had also been educated and was a literate person. When he was dying, he begged him to write a final letter for him and asked him to send it back to his hometown.
The scholar was willing to give Zhang Damao his remaining money and belongings as a reward...
Zhang Damao also kept his promise and spent the thirty taels of silver that the scholar who died of illness spent on Cao County, a relatively prosperous county, to mail the letter for him.
He also kept his promise and took away all the remaining belongings of the scholar, including the scholar's name "Wang Sheng"!
Zhang Damao... No, after Wang Sheng sent the scholar's last letter, he planned to rest in Caoxian County for a day or two, and it was this repair that made him find an unusual object in the scholar's baggage!
A wolf-hair small regular script brush with a suspected yellow wax stone rod!
This pen looks to be quite old, and can be considered an old item, but that's about it.
When Wang Sheng saw this thing for the first time, he just planned to wait until he came to a big city in the future and then use this old writing brush as some money. After all, everyone knew that most antiques and other items could not be sold at high prices in small cities.
Wang Sheng rested for a few nights in Caoxian County. He stayed in a small room of less than 20 square meters with a human-level guest room in an inn that was only one level above Datong.
Just this costs 300 bucks a day, and if you need hot water, you have to pay extra.
Speaking of which, Wang Sheng was also a gifted child when he was a teenager, but his talent was a bit crooked.
When he was eight years old, his parents sent him to a private school for two years, and Wang Sheng was willing to learn the lessons taught by the Master.
But after learning this thing, I started to have another hobby, that is, I like to draw little people in books, and I have even learned to draw "animations" that can form plots by turning pages!
This attracted a lot of astonishment from all his classmates and they all followed him, which greatly satisfied his vanity.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The master discovered this matter soon. In anger, the master did not hesitate to expel this rat turd who had led other students to bad things.
Now living in an inn, with no money to go out for fun, and being unfamiliar with the place, Wang Sheng had to stay alone in the room, and when he had nothing to do, he read the Four Treasures of the Study left by the scholar.
Long-lost memories came to mind. Wang Sheng's hand itched, so he picked up the yellow wax stone wolf-hair regular script, and started to draw a little man's calligraphy on the paper using the four treasures of the study.
Well, let’s draw a story about the flower-picking bee Zhang Sanye stealing fragrance!
It's just that Wang Sheng hasn't practiced for many years, and now his skills are much rusty. Zhang San, the flower-picking bee, described the despicable and ugly behavior in his behavior.
But it’s still a game, so if the protagonist is ugly, just be ugly, as long as the one who gets stolen next is more interesting.
It took a total of half a quarter of an hour to see Zhang San, a flower-picking bee dressed in black, already on the page. He had a sinister look on his face. He had a black scarf tied on the lower half of his face, a large black cloth bag on his back, and around his waist.
Two small bags of unknown purpose.
Each of his left and right hands holds a half-foot-long short spear, which looks like a flower-picking snitch...
Just after Wang Sheng finished painting the protagonist, he suddenly felt exhausted, a bit like the feeling of complete exhaustion after playing three-player for the first time that night.
Just when he put down his pen, rubbed his eyes, picked up the cold boiling water next to him and took a sip, something strange happened!
I saw a flash of dark light that was not eye-catching in the daytime on the painting, and in the next moment, the flower-picking bee Zhang San in the painting suddenly became plump.
A gust of wind blew by from nowhere, and the person in the painting actually took a step and walked out of the painting extremely lightly!
After drinking the cold drink, Bai Kai raised his head. Wang Sheng, who happened to see this scene, suddenly had his eyes as wide as bells and was speechless:
"You, you, you...who are you?"
At this time, Wang Sheng didn't care at all about the fierce fatigue just now, and casually grabbed the small yellow wax stone wolf hair. While asking questions, his body began to retreat towards the door without leaving a trace.
Unexpectedly, the man in black suddenly appeared and knelt down on one knee in front of Wang Sheng, looking respectful and submissive.
This scene shocked Wang Sheng again. What...what does this mean?
At this moment, the small yellow wax stone wolf hair in Wang Sheng's hand suddenly trembled slightly, and a message was transmitted to Wang Sheng's mind.
Wang Sheng was stunned, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. Then a look of excitement and ecstasy flashed across his face. Fortunately, he saw the sinister people on the way out of Antai County, so he stretched out his hand and held him tightly.
He opened his mouth and did not let his crazy laughter come out.
That distorted expression is reflected in the dark pupils of "Flower Bee Zhang San" who is kneeling on one knee, and looks particularly weird...
That night, the richest man in Cao County, who was doing business in longevity materials all over the country and even exported to overseas, was robbed!
It is said that the thief made three round trips from Yuan Cao's wife's house in one night and stole nearly a thousand taels of silver. On the third trip, he even targeted the youngest daughter of the Cao family...
Fortunately, Mrs. Cao's favorite pet dog often slept under her bed. The thief was interrupted by the pet dog that suddenly barked. Finally, the Cao family's nursing home took action to drive away the thief.
As soon as this incident came out, Cao Yuanwai, who was known as a master in Cao County, was naturally furious, and the county government also sent people to raid the whole city.
An outsider like Wang Sheng was suddenly unable to leave the county seat of Caoxian County. This made Wang Sheng, who had just received nearly a thousand taels of silver but did not dare to reveal his secrets, heartbroken. He couldn't help complaining about his "person in the painting", the flower-picking bee.
Zhang San.
"I just asked you to get some fucking money. Why do you have to do your own job? You don't even have the tools to commit crimes. Why are you going to touch Mrs. Cao?"
"I just gave you the name of a flower-picking bee, I didn't really ask you to pick flowers!
Drawing you has consumed 15 days of my life as your master. You just took action and scrapped yourself, and put me in danger of being exposed. What a fool!
Forget it, there are still five days left. Find a place to hide far away from me. If you are discovered, you are not allowed to come to me. You can run for your life elsewhere."
When the "Flower Bee Zhang San" heard this, without any hesitation, he turned around and ran out of the inn window with a single movement, without any hesitation.
Wang Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief...
It turns out that the yellow wax stone and small regular script wolf brush left by the scholar who died of illness was once an extremely powerful Taoist artifact!
However, as the master's soul that resided in it was worn away by time, it lost most of its magical power. Later, for some reason, it was acquired by a left-handed god-refining monk. After a random refining, the power of this weapon was not verified before it could be verified.
He was killed by several knights who suddenly appeared.
Those knights were all warriors and did not have the appearance of cultivating gods. Naturally, they could not realize the magic of this pen, so they treated it as an ordinary object.
After many years of wandering around, this small regular script wolf brush finally fell into the hands of Wang Sheng, and Wang Sheng turned out to be a mortal who had the appearance of a god but had never started to practice it.
I don’t know whether it was his luck or misfortune, but in short, Wang Sheng, who had the talent to practice magic, was qualified to use this "magic pen".
But without the cultivation of God, every time he uses the "magic pen", he will consume at least fifteen days of life!
The "figure in the painting" summoned by the lowest level of consumption can exist for seven days. Its strength is roughly equivalent to that of a warrior who has just entered the acquired realm. This is why "Flower Picking Bee Zhang San" can escape from the Cao family.
s reason.
The suspicious Wang Sheng immediately noticed the unequal relationship between the fifteen-day life span and the seven-day existence time of the "person in the painting", but in the end he had nothing to do.
If he asked a question and the "magic pen" said openly and honestly that it would charge an extra day of life as reward, what would Wang Sheng do?
If you think about it carefully, this "magic pen" was sacrificed by a Taoist practitioner. If you really didn't have to pay any price, I'm afraid Wang Sheng wouldn't dare to use it.
It's just right now...
So Wang Sheng held it in the inn for another ten days before leaving Caoxian, where the guard gradually relaxed. As for the "flower-picking bee Zhang San", he was never seen again.
After that, Wang Sheng traveled to Shenjing City. Of course he knew that as the most prosperous place in Daqing, capable people and strangers emerged in endlessly, and there was no way to show off.
So in Shenjing City, Wang Sheng had previously only targeted wealthy households in the DC area of the capital, and the frequency of attacks was also controlled. The property stolen from each household was less than a thousand taels of silver.
In this way, Wang Sheng's half-restrained and unrestrained life passed for another half a year. Although he didn't sing every night, he had to sing all night almost every other day...
Until one day, Wang Sheng woke up from the bed of No. 1 in Yichun Building and accidentally caught a glimpse of his own face in the bronze mirror.
Only then was he shocked to find that his temples were already gray and wrinkles were appearing. A person under thirty years old actually looked like someone who was about to reach his fifties.
How could this not make Wang Sheng panic? He had never worried about his lifespan when he was less than thirty years old. After all, he had only lived less than one-third of his century.
But today's sudden glimpse made his heart freeze.
This is also the reason why Wang Sheng, a blackwater thief, broke the rules and started attacking the mansions of high-ranking and powerful people in Shenjing City.
He needs to practice mystical techniques, he needs resources for spiritual training, and he needs to step into the first realm of divine refining and above as soon as possible in order to stop the loss of life when using the "magic pen".
And where is the easiest place to find mysterious refining methods and resources?
Naturally, it was the palace of Daqing and the homes of the top few dignitaries, but Wang Sheng, who had personally experienced the battle in Antai County, had the courage to provoke these big shots.
Even for the marquis-level dignitaries who have suffered recently, Wang Sheng gritted his teeth and acted with courage and caution...
