Neither Qin Zhengqiu nor Wei Xianzhi had heard of this mysterious organization that could dispatch five second-grade masters at will. Both the Xuanjing Division and the Tianluo Sect had secretly investigated it, but they had never found any clues.
.
It is estimated that Wei Changtian would never have thought that in the end he would see this name again in the way he did today.
"..."
Taking a deep breath, he carefully looked at Yupei Zai from front to back again, and looked up at Lao Zhangtou, who was fighting for the last chicken leg with Agou.
If it is not a coincidence and this "Kui Long" is indeed that "Kui Dragon"... then two problems will inevitably arise.
First, what is the relationship between Lao Zhangtou and Kui Long?
Is he a person from Kui Long? Or is he a jade token stolen from a person from Kui Long?
Second, what is the function of this jade tablet?
Identity certificate? Communication tool? Why did I not find jade tablets on Chang Shuan, Wu Tianqing and others after they died?
After adjusting his mood, Wei Changtian asked pretending to be curious:
"Old Zhangtou, this jade plaque has the word Kui Long engraved on it. What does this mean?"
"Hmm? Is there any?"
Lao Zhangtou took the jade token back, took a look at it, scratched the sparse top of his head and gave the answer.
"have no idea."
"..."
Wei Changtian was stunned and asked unwillingly: "Then where did you get this jade plaque?"
"Where did it come from..."
Lao Zhangtou thought hard for a while, and then smiled sheepishly.
"Hey, I forgot..."
forget?
Alzheimer's disease?
Wei Changtian said: "Old Zhangtou, you were once a second-level master, why have you forgotten everything?!"
Lao Zhangtou was a little aggrieved: "As a teacher, I am old and my memory will inevitably be bad..."
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "Then you might as well forget about me becoming your disciple!"
"My dear disciple, what are you talking about?"
Lao Zhangtou hurriedly rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "You have already called me master, how can you regret it?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. I always keep my word..."
Wei Changtian rolled his eyes and was about to say something else, when Lao Zhangtou suddenly tilted his head and fell on the kang with a "pop", and the next second he let out a loud snoring sound.
"Snoring, snoring..."
"..."
Good guy!
Your pretending to be sleeping clothes is too fake!
Looking at Agou next to him who was not surprised by this and was licking his fingers with unfinished thoughts, Wei Changtian felt dumbfounded.
"Agou, are you full?"
"no......"
"Let's go then, I'll take you to eat roast suckling pig."
"Uh-huh!"
"What?!"
Lao Zhangtou suddenly woke up from his "sleep": "Roast suckling pig?!"
"Master, aren't you asleep?"
Wei Changtian drawled a long voice with contempt on his face: "Why are you awake now?"
"Ahem, practitioners must also be extremely vigilant while sleeping."
Lao Zhang coughed dryly and quickly pulled Agou to get out of bed.
The two of them quickly put on their tattered coats and shoes, and in the blink of an eye they were standing at the door of the house, both looking back.
"Disciple, without further ado, let's set off now!"
"Yes, big brother, I..."
"Agou! This is your senior brother!"
"Oh, senior brother, let's go eat roast suckling pig!"
The old man and the young man sang and harmonized like they were talking about cross talk, looking completely impatient.
"..."
Wei Changtian stared dumbfounded at the pair of men, who looked serious, as if they were going to the battlefield. He was speechless and had a big question in his heart.
How do you feel...I seem to have been deceived???
...
A quarter of an hour later.
Although he didn’t know whether Lao Zhangtou had any real abilities or what benefits he could bring to himself... Wei Changtian didn’t worry too much about these matters in the end, and took the grandfather and grandson to eat roasted suckling pig.
After all, he actually doesn't dislike Old Zhangtou, and even thinks this little old man is quite interesting.
Of course, if he really wanted to become a disciple... Wei Changtian had no such intention from the beginning to the end.
Anyway, I will leave Jizhou in a few days, and by then this short-lived "fate between master and apprentice" will probably be over.
Although he didn't agree with this master, Wei Changtian didn't resist when Lao Zhang called him "disciple" during the meal, but just laughed it off.
Just think of it as comforting an "empty nester" suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Thinking about it this way, Lao Zhangtou does seem a bit pitiful.
The former second-level master has become a bad old man who drools over a roasted suckling pig. All his relatives and friends have left, and the only one who is with him is a little girl picked up by the roadside...
.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is what is called things and people.
"He was once a king, but then he said it was over~"
"Giving up the military and military power, and letting others make money..."
Wei Changtian couldn't help humming a song from his previous life called "Mai".
Lao Zhangtou, who was gnawing on the pig's trotters, seemed to hear something, raised his head and said doubtfully:
"Disciple, what are you talking about?"
"nothing."
Wei Changtian shook his head and suddenly asked with great interest: "By the way, Lao Zhangtou, although you have forgotten your own name, you can still remember some things."
"Is there anything you haven't forgotten yet?"
"..."
Just like when a top student is asked about his grades, a rich man is asked about his income, and a beautiful woman is asked about her appearance, Lao Zhangtou's face suddenly showed the pride and pride of competing with others.
"As a teacher, I once killed Yama with one sword!"
"Pfft~cough..."
The shochu he just drank into his mouth was spit out in an instant. Wei Changtian coughed twice and couldn't help but laugh:
"Hahaha, Master, you are bragging too much!"
"Behead Yama? Don't you even have to go to the underworld yourself?"
"To, to be a teacher..."
Being ridiculed mercilessly by his apprentice, Lao Zhangtou blushed and wanted to defend himself, but he opened his mouth for a long time but no words came out.
Ah Chun next to him was still eating a lot, and the waiter's shouts from the waiter outside the elegant room could not be heard.
Lao Zhangtou lowered his head little by little, but did not give up on finding some evidence from the remaining memories to prove that he had indeed done such an earth-shattering feat.
It's a pity that everything in the past has become illusory, and only four sentences that seem to be engraved in my bones vaguely come to my mind.
There are not many Taoist teachings, and the southern star runs through the northern river.
With just one word, all the demons in the world can be conquered.
...
Haishi.
After eating roast suckling pig, someone sent Ah Gou back to Luo Guo Alley alone.
Wei Changtian kept his promise and took Lao Zhangtou to the best and most expensive brothel in Jizhou City.
Brothels generally don't dare to accept clients of Lao Zhangtou's age for fear of accidents.
After all, it would be too unlucky to die on the girl's belly due to excessive excitement.
But money can make a fool of himself, so Wei Changtian threw out a five hundred tael silver note, and the madam immediately pushed the three young ladies into Lao Zhangtou's room with a smile on his face.
As for myself...
"Sir, why don't you take off the veil?"
The woman leaning on the edge of the bed was as gentle as water, blinking her big watery eyes and murmuring: "I want to see how you look like."
"forget it."
Wei Changtian was sitting at a table not far away drinking tea, his eyes were very gentlemanly.
It's not that he doesn't like this girl, it's mainly because he's afraid that showing his face will cause unnecessary trouble.
And doing that with your face covered... it always feels a little weird.
"Sing a song."
"Hmm... I wonder what the young master wants to hear?"
"casual."
"yes......"
The customer's request is the imperial edict, not to mention the customer who has spent a lot of money.
The girl immediately stood up and knelt down beside the piano. She paused for a few breaths, and then the sound of the piano gently flowed out from her fingertips and filled the room.
"The tide of the spring river reaches the level of the sea, and the bright moon on the sea rises with the tide..."
"The twinkling waves follow the waves for thousands of miles, but there is no moon on the spring river..."
"..."
Sure enough, it’s a moonlit night with flowers on the spring river again.
Wei Changtian didn't speak. After listening for a while, he got up and went to the window, opened the wooden window and looked out.
There is a bright full moon in the sky, illuminating the lights of thousands of houses on the ground.
Rooftops, alleys, and pedestrians were all sprinkled with silvery light, casting a vague shadow over Jizhou City.
It's almost midnight now, and Jizhou City, which does not have a curfew, should be the busiest city in Daning at this time.
Therefore, why do the people of Jizhou not take the upcoming war seriously and still live and work in peace and contentment and live an orderly life?
Do you think that even if the court calls, it will not affect you?
Or are you very confident in the Xu family and think that Jizhou City will not be lost?
Or are you not thinking that far ahead at all and just living in the present?
Wei Changtian didn't know the reason, but he knew one thing very well——
Tonight will be the last peaceful night in this ancient city with a long history and the birth of countless wealthy businessmen.
Behind him, the sound of the piano gradually subsided, and the song was about to end.
"..."
"The slanting moon hides the sea fog, and the Jieshi and Xiaoxiang roads are endless."
"I don't know how many people will return home by the moon. The falling moon shakes the trees all over the river with love."
