The answers he heard from Ma Yuan and Lin Han were not what Zhuang Wudao expected. However, Zhuang Wudao couldn't feel at ease and didn't take the lives of these two guys at heart.
After thinking for a long time, Zhuang Wudao finally sighed: "I'll think about it more carefully-"
The fire in his chest has gradually faded away. Unless he agrees to Beitang Wan'er and gets involved in this turmoil, he has no other choice but to pursue a career in heaven.
However, it was definitely not what he wanted to involve these brothers who had been together through life and death since childhood.
On the other hand, I have ‘Yun’er’ to guide me in my journey to heaven. In just a few days, my boxing skills have made great progress. After three months, there may be five or six points of hope.
Lin Han frowned, and was about to speak to persuade, but Ma Yuan tugged at the corner of his sleeve. He squinted in surprise, and saw Ma Yan shaking his head slightly, and quietly making a gesture with a serious look on his face. Lin Han immediately understood.
Instead of using useless persuasion at this time, it would be better to discuss a charter with Qin Feng after returning, or take action after three months to prevent Zhuang Wudao from making the trip.
Zhuang Wudao didn't notice the two men's movements behind him. He wanted to go towards his small courtyard on South Street. After walking a few steps, he vaguely remembered that Qin Feng had said that after the Jianyi Hall erected the flag, all the brothers,
They all moved to the former Tsing Yi Hall courtyard. He turned around hurriedly, and out of the corner of his eye, Zhuang Wudao saw a few old men in ragged clothes, standing at the corner of the street with sad faces.
Zhuang Wudao couldn't help but be stunned: "What's going on over there?"
He recognized these people. They used to set up a small stall on a nearby street and sell bits and pieces to make money.
Ma Yuan took a look and was equally confused: "I don't know, maybe something happened."
Lin Han said thoughtfully: "I remember the Yuxiong Street next to it. The fee seemed to have increased by 30% a few days ago? Could it be that you can't afford the money? Why did you come to our Yuquan Street?"
Speaking of Yuxiong Street, the three of them felt greedy. After all, Yuquan Street is a bit remote. There is also a Lichen Academy occupying a small half of the street. Yuxiong Street is different. Not only is it a main street, but people flow like shuttles along the street.
There are also a total of twenty-three trading houses,
A monthly income of two thousand taels of silver on Yuchuan Street is considered good, but the Iron Knife Club occupying Yuxiong Street can earn as much as ten thousand taels of silver per month.
"I heard that the owner of the Iron Sword Club has changed. The 'Fire Flame Sword' Feng San has a cruel temperament and is not an easy person to get along with. It's really pitiful for these vendors to have this one in their stalls."
Ma Yuan sighed softly, but went off topic in the middle of the sentence: "But the Jade Bear Street Iron Knife Club is really rich as grandma. It's also the several owners of our Lichen Sect who won't come to trouble. If I
The owner of the school converted the walls facing the street into storefronts and rented them out. If you can earn four or five thousand in one month, why bother living such a poor life?"
The key is that if this street becomes prosperous, the income of Jian Yi Tang will be higher in the future.
Lin Han curled his lips disdainfully, how could Li Xiangnan have such courage? If it were to be turned into a store, how could the Lichen Sect's dignity and dignity, the second largest sect in Tiannan, be preserved? How could the largest cultivation sect in the southeast take a fancy to it?
This little money? Face is the most important thing.
Li Xiangnan is actually just an outer disciple. If he really dares to do this, he is afraid that he will be arrested and questioned by the Taoist immediately.
Zhuang Wudao's eyes flickered. He always remembered that when he and Qin Feng were small and weak when they were very hungry, it was one of the people over there who handed over some warm white steamed buns.
Let him and Qin Feng starve to death on the streets.
It was not until much later that I realized that the old man's family situation was not much better. Not only was his family poor, but there was also a patient in the family who was unable to work.
※※※※
The entrance courtyard of Qingyi Hall is located in a spacious alley on the north side of Yufu Street. The land is about 60 acres, with a total of four acres. There are more than 140 houses in it. The walls are 1.2 feet wide and 3 feet high.
There are also more than a dozen sword stacks. It is more like a fortress than a house.
When Shi Hu and the others were still there, only a hundred people were required to guard it, armed with two-stone bows. Even the five or six hundred people in this compound could not possibly attack. However, now it has been returned to the Jianyi Hall.
Even the flag outside the courtyard was changed, from the green flag of Qingyi Hall to a red flag with black borders and two swords crossed in the center.
Ma Yuan looked at it and sighed in disappointment: "This is the social flag of our Jianyi Hall? What bastard came up with it? It's really tasteless! I told you that I shouldn't go out of the city with you Wudao. How can the hall flag be careless?
?”
Zhuang Wudao didn't bother to pay attention to Ma Yuan's complaints and strode towards the door.
The thick iron-wood door was only open a little. There were a few mighty-looking burly man guards on both sides. They were all dressed in black and had long swords at their waists. They looked similar. Looking at the wall, there were more than ten people.
People are patrolling,
Zhuang Wudao recognized some of them, but at this time they looked serious. When Zhuang Wudao came closer, they all shouted: "Vice Hall Master Zhuang is well!"
The voice was so powerful that Zhuang Wudao almost froze on the spot. It took him a long while to react and nodded in return.
Ma Yuan Lin Han was also dumbfounded. He thought that the old Qingyi Hall did not seem to have such strict rules. He had only been away for three days, so why was it like this?
People say that Qin Feng is a talented general and has extraordinary skills. He is also a man of chaotic ethics and can bring a group of brothers with different personalities together, but this is too exaggerated.
The leader of the guard at the door was one of the right-hand men of Wang Wu of 'Roshan'. When he saw Zhuang Wudao looking over inquiringly, the man smiled heartily: "The hall master said that since we want to conspire together for big things, we should aspire to
Be ambitious and don’t just focus on this street. When you put up the flag, you need to set the rules and not be too lax. In the future, our Jianyi Hall will become a gang across the city, so we won’t become a ball of loose sand.
.”
Zhuang Wudao was speechless, thinking that Qin Feng's ambition was indeed very ambitious.
After the man finished speaking, he looked strange and said: "Something happened in the hall today. The Beitang family sent some things over. The hall master is waiting for you in the main hall."
Shocked in his heart, Zhuang Wudao no longer hesitated and strode in. Walking into the main hall, he saw several people sitting there. Qin Feng was sitting high on the hall master's throne at the top, staring at him with a pale and pale complexion.
daze.
There were dozens of wooden boxes, almost filling the hall, and they had all been opened. Zhuang Wudao took a look and was also surprised.
Behind the gift box, there are exactly two hundred green steel swords with the mark of 'Hundred Soldiers', and a hundred seven-stone crossbows. They are high-quality products produced by the Xia family of 'Hundred Soldiers', and their quality is only lower than that of spiritual soldiers.
In addition, there are a hundred bolts of silk and satin, a box of elixir bottles, and two boxes of silver. The elixir bottles are labeled with Qi-nourishing pills and Bone-refining and tendon-refining pills, and there are as many as ten bottles. The silver is barefoot.
There are a total of four thousand taels of grained silver. The silk and satin are also of high quality and colorful.
There are also five wooden boxes, each containing only one thing. Two long swords glowing with green light, a silver inner armor, a black iron axe, and a talisman. They look inconspicuous, but they are all
Exuding a faint spiritual brilliance, they are all spiritual weapons with forbidden laws.
And that talisman is even more extraordinary. Zhuang Wudao has seen it once before. It is a treasure forbidden talisman. As long as it is not a particularly rare magic talisman, any spiritual weapon under the twelve heavens will use this talisman.
All of them can enhance the legal prohibition of the third heaven.
The armor-breaking cone in his hand is itself a spiritual weapon of the first level of forbidden magic. Once this precious forbidden talisman is used, it can be upgraded to the fourth level of forbidden magic, doubling its power!
"It was sent by someone from the Beitang family."
Qin Feng's eyes were dull and he said, "I retreated three times, and finally the butler of the Beitang family came over to persuade me, saying that I wanted to ask you to do something. These are gifts. Even if the thing doesn't work out in the end, the favor is still there. If I don't want to
Accepting it means looking down on the Beitang family. It seems that there is no way to withdraw."
Zhuang Wudao's face was extremely ugly. The Beitang family was indeed generous, and what they sent was exactly what Jianyitang needed most. However, were these things so easy to collect?
Roshan Wang Wu was also present, and he was yelling: "You are an immortal! I'm afraid these things add up to less than 30,000 taels of silver, so you just give them away. This Beitang family is really rich!"
Generally, the first-level forbidden spiritual weapons start at a thousand taels of silver. Therefore, even Shi Hu, who has been entrenched in this street for several years, did not receive many spiritual weapons. Several battles with surrounding gangs resulted in almost the same damage.
.So much so that Shi Hu didn’t even have anything suitable for himself.
The green steel long sword costs about ten taels of silver, and the seven-stone crossbow costs thirty taels.
Zhuang Wudao estimates that the valuation of thirty thousand taels of silver is about the same. This is three hundred taels of gold——
The main thing is that treasure forbidden talisman, which is extremely valuable. This one alone is worth six to seven thousand taels of silver.
"What the Beitang family means is that as long as you don't miss the Lichen Sect's competition this time! They also said that if we are willing to persuade you, the Beitang family can secretly help our Jianyi Hall and win the battle.
Two streets.”
Qin Feng rubbed his forehead, with a look of helplessness and headache on his face: "I thought that the Beitang family must have something to ask for when giving a gift to others. This Lichen Sect competition is by no means simple, and there is something mysterious in it. That's it.
I wanted to reject it on your behalf, but the things still can’t be returned. Wu Dao, what’s going on?”
Zhuang Wudao's eyes were cold, and his mood sank to the bottom. This Beitang Wan'er said that he wanted him to consider it, but he was not allowed to refuse at all!
A feeling of powerlessness surged throughout her body. In front of the Beitang family, Zhuang Wudao was just an ant-like figure after all. Since Beitang Wan'er had made up his mind, how could he have any room to refuse?
This woman is still treating each other with courtesy at this time, but in the end, she may not be able to force her out of power——.
"This time, the Lichen Sect has hundreds of Golden Core Foundation-Building monks ready to select disciples and teach them, so the Gu Yue family, the Xia family of the Baibing Hall, the Lin He Kong family, and the Yue City garrison all have their children participating."
Explaining briefly and concisely, Zhuang Wudao glanced at everyone in the hall: "The Beitang family seems to want me to squeeze one of them out."
Ma Yuan and Lin Han trembled slightly, thinking that what Beitang Wan'er and Zhuang Wudao were talking about in the carriage was actually this matter! So the provocation by Beitang Wan'er on the ferry was just to test Zhuang Wudao's skills?
Qin Feng, Wang Wu and others all took a breath of cold air.
