The rising sun had only half of its head exposed, and there were still obvious drops of water on the leaves in the forest, but the sound of sword swings could be heard in the dense forest at the back of the mountain.
I saw a sixteen-year-old boy holding a three-inch long wooden sword and practicing his sword hard in the forest. The young man had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. Although he was dressed simply, his expression was serious and he was intoxicated in practicing swordsmanship.
The swordsmanship he practiced was only basic swordsmanship. Although the moves were mediocre, every move and move in the basic swordsmanship was perfectly practiced by the boy.
This young man's name is Sun Bing, and he is a disciple of the Sun family.
Splitting the sword, stabbing the sword, lifting the sword, sweeping the sword...the seemingly simple basic sword skills seemed to be rejuvenated in Sun Bing's hands, especially the wooden sword in his hand, which had changed from its original wood color.
It transformed into pure black, exuding a strong historical atmosphere. It must have been used for a long time.
However, after practicing a set of sword skills, Sun Bing's face instantly turned pale, and at the same time his eyes showed a trace of unwillingness: "My physical fitness is still not up to par. Just a set of basic sword skills makes me unbearable. God is unfair."
As soon as he finished speaking, the original unwilling look gradually faded away. Looking at the already rising sun, Sun Bing calculated the time and said softly: "It's time to collect your monthly salary again. Go as early as possible. I hope you will have better luck today."
After saying that, he put away the wooden sword close to his body, then turned around and walked towards Sun's house.
The Sun family is one of the three major aristocratic families in Luoyun Town. It originated two hundred years ago. It started with medicinal materials. Finally, the ancestors practiced it by chance, and then created a family. It may not sound like much, but Luoyun Town has a whole
With a population of 100,000 and a radius of 100 miles, there is no other opponent except the other two major families. He can be called the Tu Emperor.
The back mountain is not far from the Sun family. Not long after, Sun Bing had already arrived at the door of the Sun family. The entire door was made of precious red sandalwood. Even if ordinary people could get one piece, they would be able to live comfortably for several years.
as long as.
The handle on the door is a ferocious monster made of gold. There are two precious luminous pearls inlaid next to the handle, which are white and moving. Looking from a distance, the door inlaid with gold is even more dazzling under the sunlight.
.
Just one gate is enough to show the majesty and heritage of the family. This is why the three major families dare to show off like this. If ordinary people do this, even if they have a huge wealth, they will not be able to match the magical power of a monk.
Behind the gate is a wide courtyard, with trees and flowers planted on both sides of the path for people to enjoy. However, at this moment, Sun Bing had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. He just wanted to collect his monthly salary quickly so that he could practice cultivation.
The salary was paid in a remote accounting room by the peripheral steward Qin Ming. However, the usually extremely quiet accounting room felt a bit crowded today. Although there were many people, there was no chaos at all. Everyone lined up in an orderly manner, although there were mixed
There was some slight chatter, but it didn't hurt.
It's just that Sun Bing is completely different from others, as if he is a transparent person. No matter how happy others chat, they have nothing to do with him. There is even an empty space in front of and behind him, and no one is willing to approach him.
Sun Bing didn't care about this. He watched his eyes, nose, mouth, and heart, and waited quietly. The monthly salary can be regarded as a benefit for the family disciples. No matter how lazy you are, you can still guarantee it with the monthly salary provided by the family.
own basic life.
The team moved forward very quickly. The manager would release the monthly salary after one glance at the person for confirmation. There would be no delay at all. Not long after, it was Sun Bing's turn. Just as he was about to step forward to receive the monthly salary, a man came from the gate.
Come slowly.
He had no intention of queuing up and ran directly in front of Sun Bing, then said calmly: "Take it out!"
This attitude was so outrageous that the surrounding conversations slowly stopped. But when Manager Qin faced such a bad attitude, not only did he not show any dissatisfaction on his face, he even smiled: "Isn't this Sun Yao? Here we go again.
Help the young master to receive his monthly salary, this is for this month, take a look." After saying that, he gave Sun Yao two bottles of body tempering pills, and also gave him dozens of taels of silver.
It's just that Sun Yao's nostrils were raised to the sky. He casually took the salary in his hand and turned around to leave without saying a word. This made Manager Qin only smile awkwardly. Many people around him were smiling, but he just forced
I endured it.
But even if Sun Yao is rude, Manager Qin can't do anything about it, because Sun Yao's master is Sun Long, the eldest son of the Sun family. He has reached the eighth level of body tempering at this moment, and is about to break through the ninth level of body tempering. He can be called the third member of the Sun family.
For a genius, the small amount of monthly salary is completely ignored by the other party. It can even be said that this is a reward for his servant.
Manager Qin had nothing to do with Sun Yao. He was simmering with anger in his heart. He couldn't help but look behind him and Sun Bing's expression turned a little unkind. He casually took a tael of silver and put it on the counter. He said lazily: "No, this is it."
Your monthly salary is gone."
Looking at only one tael of silver on the counter, Sun Bing couldn't help but grit his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, while secretly remembering in his heart: "This is the tenth year, the one hundred and twentieth time."
You must know that the Sun family's monthly salary for the younger generation is ten taels of silver per person per month and a bottle of Body Tempering Pill, of which the Body Tempering Pill costs a lot, but what Manager Qin gave Sun Bing was only one-tenth of what the others paid.
Not to mention a bottle of body tempering pill, not even one. Compared with the previous Sun Yao, this is completely different. You must know that Sun Yao is just a servant of others.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that Sun Bing would have the nerve to stay, and the courage to come and receive his monthly salary, hehe, he's such a loser."
"Yeah, I really don't understand why we should take him in, he's just a servant."
Waves of ridicule came from all around, which made Wang Hong grit his teeth even tighter, and his nails dug into his skin. The pain only made him more awake.
This scene has happened a hundred and twenty times in the past ten years. It can be said that every time I receive my monthly salary, I will be laughed at.
But Sun Bing did not dare to let himself get used to others' ridicule. He looked at the ridiculing faces around him and said silently to himself: "Be aware of shame and then be brave. Remember every ridicule now."
"Okay, Manager Qin, give him your monthly salary." Suddenly, a tall and beautiful woman walked in.
She is over 20 years old, with skin as thick as gelatin. Although her face is full of charm, she is extremely serious, like a piece of icy cold wind. The two temperaments are intertwined with each other, attracting everyone's attention as soon as she arrives.
"I didn't expect the eldest lady to be here. I heard that she has reached the ninth level of body tempering. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also so talented. Why is she here today?"
"I don't know, maybe I want to receive some elixir."
"Yes, Miss Sun Yanran." Manager Qin did not dare to refuse the instruction at all. After bowing, he took out the ten taels of silver.
He casually threw it on the cabinet, his face full of ridicule, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, he still forgot about the bottle of Body Tempering Pill.
Sun Bing did not resort to verbal disputes. In the past ten years, he had tried various methods one hundred and twenty times, but to no avail. In the end, Sun Bing understood that only strength is the right way. All he has to do now is
Sit down and taste the courage.
After collecting his salary, Sun Bing turned around and walked out the door without saying a word, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
In the side courtyard, Sun Bing hid the gold coins like a prophet.
Not long after, three young men walked over slowly. Sun Bing remained expressionless. Even though he was quite familiar with the people in front of him and knew what would happen next, he looked at them quietly as if it had nothing to do with him.
With.
"Hey, I heard that you received a lot of monthly salary today? Hand it over!" Sun Yang said strangely.
"Yes, I heard that it was the eldest lady who helped to rescue the siege. It's really shameless." Sun Yong also mocked.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just do it." Sun Ce said sharply.
The three men stepped forward directly and beat Sun Bing violently. Their fists hit Sun Bing's body mercilessly, and they kept taunting him: "Why do you think you are doing this? Just be honest.
Wouldn’t it be fine if I just hand over my monthly salary? I’d be beaten less often.”
"It doesn't matter if you don't hand it over. If you vent your anger once a month, you will feel much better."
These words made Wang Hong clench his teeth and stare at the three people in front of him, keeping their faces firmly in his mind.
After a long time, the three people clapped their hands and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's stop here today. If we continue to fight, we may kill him. That won't look good. After all, he is still the righteousness of the clan leader."
Son." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Sun Bing, on the other hand, was in an extremely embarrassed state at the moment. His already shabby clothes were like strips of cloth. His body was covered in bruises and purples, and there was even blood from the corner of his mouth.
He moved his body stiffly, and even with his perseverance, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. There was no part of his body that was not hurting. This made Sun Bing secretly swear: "Sun Yang, Sun Yong, Sun Ce, the shame of these ten years
I remember it. One day, I will repay it ten times or a hundred times."
After a while, Sun Bing endured the pain in his body, put away the ten taels of silver, and walked slowly towards his residence.
In the past ten years, it is not that he has resisted, but as a person who is weaker than ordinary people, he is no match for the other party, and he was even beaten harder.
Moreover, when being beaten, even making any unnecessary movements and moaning can be the reason for being beaten. From then on, Sun Bing understood that this world is a world where fists speak, and only by becoming a monk can he take revenge.
So since then, Wang Hong knew that he had to endure it and endure the hardships, but he remembered these ten years and one hundred and twenty times in his mind.
