Hearing what Zhang Jingxu said, Liu Xing suddenly thought that his former master seemed to be a certain character card of Wu Lei, but Liu Xing was not 100% sure about this.
The person who came was indeed Zhang Ran, and the purpose of his coming here was to treat Liu Xing and others to dinner, because if he didn't have the name "Liu Peng", he wouldn't be able to buy lapis lazuli so easily.
"Hmm? You still have a friend? Has he gone to the latrine?"
Seeing that Ding Kun was not around, Zhang Ran said: "I just happened to find a good job for him today, that is, in the woods to the west of Boyang City, for some reason, a group of wild boars suddenly appeared.
The wild boars have caused great harm to the nearby farmland, and ordinary farmers have no way to deal with these wild boars. After all, the wild boars are no joke when they speed up; so the old city lord sent someone to see us in the afternoon, saying that every day
We will be given one tael of silver for disposing of two wild boars, and we will deal with the wild boars ourselves, so I want to give this task to your friend."
Hunting two wild boars will give you one tael of silver, which is indeed a good task.
However, in this martial arts world where only cold weapons can be used, it is still very dangerous for a hunter like Ding Kun to single out a wild boar, even if Ding Kun has prepared special hunting arrows.
But it's different now. Ding Kun and several other players have formed a hunting team, and they happen to be practicing how to hunt, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to deal with a few wild boars now?
The most important thing is that this hunting mission was personally issued by the old city lord of Boyang City, so Liu Xing thought of three words - reputation value!
If nothing else, this hunting mission is prepared for players in Boyang City, and players who perform well in this hunting mission may receive reputation rewards.
After all, this reputation value cannot be specially set up for the alliance, so even players who fight alone can obtain reputation points.
When a player obtains enough reputation points, he can become a hero. At that time, whether he goes to the prince's account and introduces himself, there is a high chance of becoming a guest.
"Oh, our friend met some old friends in Boyang City, so he went to have dinner and drink with his old friends. He probably won't be back tonight, and tomorrow the two of us will go to Boyang City to find him.
, and then return to Heshan County together." Liu Xing said with a smile.
Leave tomorrow.
This was something Liu Xing and Yin En discussed on the way back, because now Liu Xing and Yin En have settled in Boyang City, and it will be much more convenient to communicate with other players in the city.
After all, it takes more than half an hour to walk from Zhangjiamen to Lalaiya Teahouse.
Zhang Jingxu didn't have any objections to this, because starting from tomorrow he would practice boxing and kicking with Zhang Ran, and occasionally learn other knowledge from the old master.
As for what it is, Zhang Jingxu is not sure, but it may be the Taoist talismans that the old master learned in Heyun Temple. After all, Zhang Jingxu has a foundation in this area.
Zhang Ran nodded, sighed and said: "Originally, I should have left you to play in Boyang City for a few more days, but recently there have been many people from the Demon Cult operating near Boyang City, so you
It's not good to play near Boyang City, because if you meet these people from the Demon Sect, you will be in danger; and our Zhangjiamen will also start to recruit new outer disciples in the next two days.
So Zhang Yu and I can't take care of you."
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here.
"Hey, hurry up and go out for dinner! If you don't leave, those gangsters will eat all the delicious food." Zhang Yu's voice sounded from a distance.
"Let's go, I'm not only treating you to this meal today, I'm also giving extra meals to Xiao Zhang's junior brothers." Zhang Ran said with a smile.
Although Zhang Jingxu is the latest disciple to join the Zhangjiamen, because of his experience in Tianfu Sect and the old master's objection, Zhang Jingxu became the chief disciple of the Zhangjiamen.
Needless to say, Liu Xing knew that Zhang Jingxu had become a thorn in the eyes of some people at this time. After all, you had taken the position of chief disciple when you came, leaving those outer disciples who had been practicing in the sect for two and a half years.
What do disciples think?
This is not a joke, because there are only so many places for outer disciples to be promoted to formal disciples, but Zhang Jingxu took one directly. What does this make the "trainees" who are about to be eliminated think?
As for those formal disciples, as long as they have some strength, they will also set their goals to be the chief disciple, because only the chief disciple can follow the master to participate in the martial arts conference, and can also attend the sword discussion hall and compete with other sects.
The chief disciples exchanged their experiences and even became friends.
So this is a rare opportunity to expand your network.
That's why Zhang Ran invited Zhang Jingxu's disciples to the banquet in the name of Zhang Jingxu, which would more or less increase Zhang Jingxu's favorability.
After arriving at the cafeteria, Liu Xing saw the old boss again. The old boss was drinking wine contentedly by himself, and from time to time he would grab a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
It tastes so delicious.
Because Zhang Jingxu was also half a disciple of the old master, Liu Xing knew that the old master was trying to support Zhang Jingxu, and Zhang Jingxu also followed Zhang Ran to visit the old master.
As for Liu Xing, they sat down and waited for the meal to begin.
So fragrant.
To be honest, the food prepared by this martial arts module for players is really good. At least what Liu Xing has been eating these past few days is quite satisfying, and it still has a feeling of being a child, or the food itself is delicious.
However, during the meal, Liu Xing also noticed that there was a person who looked at Zhang Jingxu with a very unconvinced expression, and several disciples around him looked like his followers, so Liu Xing suspected that this person might be the original chief of the Zhang family.
Disciple.
It seems that Zhang Jingxu will have a drama with this person in the Zhang family.
After eating, Liu Xing told Zhang Jingxu about the person he saw.
"Oh, that person's name is Zhang Tai. If it weren't for me, he would indeed be the most likely to become the chief disciple of Zhangjiamen, because his strength is indeed unique in today's Zhangjiamen. Now the three of us plus
I may not be able to beat him; but I have inquired about his situation and found that this guy is a complete martial arts idiot, so it is difficult to say that it is difficult to deal with him, and it is simple to say that it is to defeat him
That's good." Zhang Jingxu said with a smile.
Looking at Zhang Jingxu with a confident face, Liu Xing nodded and said: "It seems that you have already made a plan? But with your small body, it will not be easy to defeat this Zhang Tai."
"You will know when you look back."
As Zhang Jingxu spoke, he took out a key from his pocket.
"You have the key to my door, so when you return to Heshan County, go to my bedroom and find an iron box. This box is a secret compartment hidden under the floor! Once you find it, you can use the key to open it.
, the one hundred taels of silver in it is enough for you. Of course, after the alliance is established, you must not forget to record the one hundred taels of silver in my name."
"Hey, Zhang Jingxu, you hid it deep enough. You even prepared a hundred taels of silver without telling us."
Yin En smiled sinisterly, "Tell me, do you want to use this money to spend in some ulterior places?"
"Go away, I will not betray my Lu Tianya."
Zhang Jingxu made a friendly gesture towards Yin En, and then said to Haqie: "Then I will go to bed first. This family has to get up at five o'clock in the morning to practice martial arts, so I have to go to bed early and get up early.
"
Since Zhang Jingxu had already gone to bed, Liu Xing and Liu Xing had no reason to stay up late, so they went back to their rooms to rest.
Nothing happened all night.
Early the next morning, Liu Xing was once again woken up by the sound of martial arts training, so he could only stare at the unfamiliar ceiling in a daze.
Liu Xing waited until dawn before he got up and asked Yin En to have breakfast.
As a result, just as he was about to go out, Liu Xing saw Zhang Jingxu and Yin En talking quietly through the crack in the door.
Zhang Jingxu has finished practicing?
Just as Liu Xing was about to open the door and go out, he saw Zhang Jingxu getting up and leaving the small courtyard, while Yin En stayed there with a serious look on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
Realizing that something might not be right, Liu Xing carefully returned to the bedside, then deliberately made the same noise as when he got up, and then slowly walked out of the room.
At this time, Yin En was already drinking hot tea leisurely.
"Hey, Liu Xing, are you finally willing to get up? Come on, here's the tea I just made. Drink it to cheer yourself up, and then we can go outside to find something to eat."
Liu Xing nodded and said casually, "Are we going out to eat? I thought we had to wait for Zhang Jingxu to come back before eating together?"
"Oh, there's no need to wait for him. We don't know how long it will take for him to finish his morning training. After all, we don't have a watch to tell the time now, and Zhang Jingxu might be called away by the old boss; I went out yesterday
I paid attention when I was there and found that there are a lot of people selling breakfast nearby, including steamed buns, noodles and so on, and I even saw rice dumplings." Yin En said with a smile.
Seeing what Yin En said, Liu Xing knew that he was lying, and it also proved that he and Zhang Jingxu were hiding something from him.
What's happening here?
Liu Xing hit him to hide his doubts, then nodded and said: "Let's go then, let's go to the place where the theater troupe sets up the stage after dinner?"
On the way to have breakfast, Liu Xing was thinking about what Yin En and Zhang Jingxu were hiding from him. After all, he had never noticed such a sign before.
But Liu Xing also knew that Yin En had been hiding something from him a long time ago, so could it be said that Zhang Jingxu did the same?
I can't figure it out.
After buying a few steamed buns at random, Liu Xing and his wife found a large tent that had just been set up at the address written on the poster.
"There's something there. I thought this troupe would only set up a stage, but I didn't expect them to go directly to the tent." Yin En said.
Liu Xing finished eating the buns in his hand, nodded and said: "Yes, the weight of such a big tent is not light. The troupe must arrange a carriage to pull this tent, but the role of the tent is also obvious, then
People who don’t buy tickets can only listen to the sound at most, and the performance in a tent is much better than an open-air performance.”
Liu Xing looked around and found that many people were already preparing to buy tickets to enter.
"There weren't many entertainment activities in ancient times, so if a theater troupe could come to sing, people from all over the country would have to come and join in the fun. Therefore, although this play requires buying tickets, there will be no shortage of audiences, unless this play
It’s really too tight.”
Yin En continued: "I heard my parents mention that in the past, there were people in villages and towns who specially showed movies everywhere. Even if the show is finished in the first team today and the same movie is shown in the second team tomorrow, it will still attract the attention of several nearby people.
Everyone in the brigade went to watch it, even if they had watched the movie more than ten times; and blockbuster movies like "Shaolin Temple" can even attract people to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads to watch it. For example, my dad just listened to
He said that the next town would play "Shaolin Temple" in the evening, so I went to the next town with a few friends early in the morning, but all my shoes were worn out, and I had to go barefoot when I came back."
Liu Xing nodded sympathetically, because Liu Xing also heard his grandfather say that he used to be the director of a radio station in the town. Later, as television became more and more popular, people often came to ask him what he would do recently.
What TV show or movie.
And Liu Xing still remembers that the radio station at that time was on the top floor of a building, occupying a total area of two rooms and one living room. One of the rooms was used as a computer room, while the other room had a small
's broadcast studio.
"Dear fellow villagers, I am He San, the leader of this theater troupe. I am very happy that you can come so early in the morning to support me. Therefore, today's first performance is free for everyone. I only hope that you can give us your valuable suggestions.
Their opinions allow us to continue to improve the script! After all, this script has also traveled across the ocean, so there may be some flaws."
A middle-aged man in a robe stood at the door of the tent and said: "Now please enter the tent in an orderly manner and find your favorite seat. Of course, for the sake of others' theater experience, please put down the food in your hands before entering.
Eat or put it away! Then please pay attention to your belongings even when watching the theater, be careful not to be taken away by some gentlemen."
"It's interesting. This class leader's speaking habits are very similar to those of modern people, and he also knows a lot about marketing. Now he will perform a show for free." Liu Xing said in a low voice.
Yin En nodded and said: "This is normal. After all, it would be good if one-third of the seats can be filled for this early morning event."
