Chapter 34
When Zhou Zishu walked into Yinzhuang again, the shopkeeper was not the only person he greeted.
A slightly fat man with a happy face heard that he was coming and strode out to greet him. This man had thin eyebrows, thin eyes and a fleshy nose, and a face that looked like a big white steamed bun steamed in a basket. He looked very attractive.
Like it. The shopkeeper of Yinzhuang bowed his waist slightly and followed this man two steps behind, with a very respectful attitude.
When he saw Zhou Zishu, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Are you... Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Zishu smiled and said, "Why, you can't recognize Ping An?"
It turned out that the man who came out was Song Ping'an, the head of the Song Dynasty of "Ping'an Bank". Legend has it that this man was originally the housekeeper of the prince of Nanning. After his master passed away, he went out on his own and started doing business with a little savings. Within a few years,
, then you can do great things.
He has properties all over the country, and he travels around all year long, and no one knows where he is. Many merchants know that this master of Song Dynasty is very shrewd in doing business, but he is rare and not treacherous. He is actually a kind man.
As a person of benevolence and righteousness, he came and went, and his reputation was very good, which also led to a wider road, and the Song family became more and more prosperous.
Song Ping'an was very excited. He ordered the shopkeeper to close the shop, dismissed the waiters, cleared the place, asked Zhou Zishu to sit down, and said, "I was near Yangzhou. When I heard the news, I came over immediately. Have you ever neglected me?"
Young Master? My master has been talking about you for several years!"
Then Ping An lowered his voice: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for hiding the news of my master's departure from Beijing, so that we can live in peace these past few years."
Zhou Zishu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's just a little effort, Master Qi, is he always good?"
But I was thinking in my heart, if your master gets out as soon as possible, then everyone can live a peaceful life.
Ping An smiled and said: "It's very good, very good. I'm worried about you. I sent a message back after receiving the news. I just received a reply from my master yesterday, saying that I am coming here with the great witch. It will take ten and a half months."
I guess we’ll be there soon…”
Hearing this, Zhou Zishu's calm face immediately twitched, thinking that the martial arts world in the Central Plains was already in chaos, and that disaster would come to interfere with it. It was really a bad year, with all the natural and man-made disasters, but he was talking about it.
He also said politely: "How can we work hard for the Seventh Master and the Great Witch?"
Ping An said: "What's the matter? My master has been living in southern Xinjiang for a long time and has nothing to do. He just happened to come out to stretch his body. The master said that he had made an agreement with the young master back then that he would find a beautiful girl with a slim waist for him in the future.
The girl from southern Xinjiang is my daughter-in-law."
Zhou Zishu sweated profusely and said hurriedly: "It's just a joke, it's just a joke..."
But in his heart, he inexplicably remembered the way Wen Kexing said seriously in the deserted courtyard the day before, "I want to spend my whole life with you," and he felt as if there were nails growing on the chair under his butt.
, I feel uncomfortable no matter what, everything is wrong.
Ping An exchanged greetings with him for a few words, then got to the point and said: "Young Master came to ask about Liuli Jia, and I told my servants to pay attention. I know something these days - Master, you know, yesterday a man named Shen Shen
The man appeared in Dongting with the Shaolin abbot, and he also brought a piece of glazed armor?"
Zhou Zishu was startled: "Shen Shen, the head of the Shen family in Shuzhong?"
Ping An nodded and said: "Yes, this person has not been involved in world affairs for a long time, but he suddenly appeared this time. Apparently he heard the news of the murder of the Zhang family and couldn't wait any longer."
Zhou Zishu's heart suddenly changed, and he immediately reacted and said: "That's right, the Taihang Lu family did not leave any heirs at the beginning, only a few useless young apprentices, all of whom were handed over to the head of Taishan, Hua Fangling, and the Zhang family ...Is it possible that the legendary five pieces of glazed armor were actually in the hands of the five major families back then?"
Ping An said: "Master Zhou really knows everything after hearing it. As soon as Shen Shen showed up, Gao Chong also admitted that there was a piece of glazed armor in Gaojiazhuang, and finally told the origin of this thing. Have you ever heard of it?" "Yin Yang Book" "Sealing Mountain Sword" and "Liuhe Magic"?"
Zhou Zishu frowned slightly, nodded and said: "I have only heard a little bit about the Book of Yin and Yang, I don't know whether it is true or not. It is said to be a sacred object from the Valley of Miracle Doctors. It can heal the flesh and bones of life and death. It is said that no disease can be cured - the Fengshan Sword is thirty years old." Rong Xuan, a peerless master who once fell into the devil's way, created it himself. The lower half is a sword move, and the upper half is a mental technique that he learned from the "Liuhe Divine Art". The "Liuhe Divine Art" has been passed down from ancient times. It has a lot of defects, is very obscure and difficult to understand, and is easy to go crazy. However, it is also extremely powerful, and no one in the world can compete with it... Could Gao Chong mean that the secret in the glazed armor is Rong Xuanliu? Two martial arts classics?"
Ping An nodded and said: "Exactly, according to Gao Daxia, Rong Xuan became possessed by the devil. On the one hand, it was due to the pain of losing his wife. However, later, the devil became more powerful, but it was also because of improper practice. After Rong Xuan died, they found him After getting the glazed armor, they saw that the two miraculous skills and the sacred object of the Valley of Miracles, the 'Yin Yang Book', were contained in it. Anyone who practiced kung fu could not help but be attracted by it. At that time, they felt that this thing was too dangerous, so they took the glazed armor. The armor was broken into pieces, and we agreed that each of the five major families would keep a piece of it, so that the magic power would not show up in the world again."
Zhou Zishu frowned after hearing this. After a while, he nodded very slowly and said, "Gao Chong said this..."
Ping An looked ashamed and said: "My slave's ability is really limited."
Zhou Zishu shook his head with a smile and said: "Skylight and Four Seasons Village still don't know much about the inside story of the tragedy thirty years ago, let alone you as a businessman? It has already helped a lot - but then again, each of the five major families Holding a piece of glazed armor, where is the Zhao family’s? Zhao Jing didn’t give an explanation?”
Ping An nodded and said: "The head of the Zhao family claimed that the Zhao family's glazed armor was stolen and missing. As soon as this statement came out, everyone present almost started to cause trouble. The head of Huashan seemed to have conclusive evidence and said It seems that Zhao Jing stole the Zhang family's glazed armor. The people sent by my servant yesterday said that the head of Huashan almost started a fight with Zhao Daxia."
Zhou Zishu then remembered that the piece of glazed armor he saw in the crypt that day was probably lost by the Zhao family. The person who stole it must be one of Yu Tianjie and Mu Yunge who died that night. Unfortunately, Mantis Catcher Cicada or Huangque followed, and was taken advantage of by a kid from Guigu. Then the piece of glazed armor accidentally fell into Wen Kexing's hands, and Fang Wuzhi stole it. But now Fang Wuzhi is also dead, and he is suspected to have died. The subordinates of the happy mourning ghost...
Zhou Zishu felt as if there was a big stone stuck in his heart. He kept pouring back the bitter water, thinking, could this matter be any more complicated?
He left Ping'an with a lot of worries and went all the way back to find Zhang Chengling. Zhou Zishu did not believe everything Gao Chong said - he had to deal with a lot of true and false news in the past, and what he reported to the emperor had to be clear of falsehoods and keep true. For a matter, it is often necessary to verify many causes and consequences. Only when there are no flaws can we dare to report it. Therefore, no matter what we hear, we are accustomed to doubting it and are always ready to overturn what we knew before.
After entering the restaurant, he looked up and saw Wen Kexing, Zhang Chengling, Cao Weining, and Gu Xiang. Zhou Zishu asked why these four people came together. Then he found that Zhang Chengling and Wen Kexing were on their own.
He occupied a corner of the table, his expression was very solemn, and he was a little confused. He raised his legs and went upstairs to say hello, when he heard Cao Weining sighing with emotion.
"...Actually, what I'm most worried about is that there is a fire in the backyard of the decent people. Everyone has lost their harmony because of this glazed armor. Don't you hear the story of two Lis killing three soldiers? I'm afraid that a martial arts catastrophe will occur because of this.
Now it’s the scene of ‘the deceased is like a man’…”
Gu Xiang asked innocently and innocently: "Who is the deceased?"
Cao Weining patiently said: "'When I was sitting by the river, I said, the dead are like this.' This is what I was talking about. One day, I was wandering in my sleep, as if I was at the river. Looking down, I saw dead people along with the flowing water.
Going down the river, I feel very sad and express my feelings..."
Gu Xiang's eyes widened and he said: "Master, Brother Cao knows so much, why would he drop his book bag?"
Zhou Zishu knew why Zhang Chengling and Wen Kexing had such solemn expressions. They looked as if nothing had happened, spun their feet, turned around and walked out.
Unexpectedly, Wen Kexing, a sharp-eyed and mean-mouthed man, saw him. This person is a typical person who has to be dragged to death. He immediately shouted excitedly: "Axu, how do you get out? I've been waiting for you for a long time, come here quickly.
!”
...Zhou Zishu thought to himself, the master of Guigu Valley who suffered from the plague was like his grandmother who had been lacking great virtue for eight lifetimes.
Wen Kexing happily pulled out a chair and asked Zhou Zishu to sit down. He poured wine for him himself and said with great enthusiasm: "Come here and try the good wine from this store. It tastes serious and good."
Zhou Zishu tried to express his condemnation of him with his eyes expressionlessly. Wen Kexing looked at him for a long time, and suddenly whispered coyly: "This is still in broad daylight..."
When Gu Xiang saw it, he covered Zhang Chengling's eyes with his hands and said with a bitter face: "The dog's eyes are even blind."
Cao Weining blushed and stammered: "Gu, Gu, Miss Gu, actually, you don't have to envy Brother Zhou and Brother Wen for their deep love. The girl is as beautiful as a flower, and she will be... too."
There are good people who admire you secretly..."
Gu Xiang blinked at him with big ignorant eyes and asked, "Ah? Really? Where is it?"
Cao Weining stared at her blankly for a long time before answering the question: "Miss Gu, can I call you Axiang?"
Zhou Zishu concentrated on drinking with his head down, warning himself not to see or hear anything inappropriate. He was on pins and needles. His tongue was numb from vomiting. For the first time in his life, he could not taste the contents of the cup.
However, just at this moment, a person suddenly came in at the door. When he saw this person, the noisy restaurant suddenly became quiet for a moment - this was a woman. She walked in without looking away, and saw the waiter carrying the plate looking at him blankly.
She smiled softly, and the plate in the waiter's hand, who had turned into a goose, immediately fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
She was so beautiful that most people who saw her felt at that moment that she was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen in their lives. Even Gu Xiang stayed for a moment, pulled Cao Weining's sleeves, and whispered:
"Look at her, she's not a fairy, right?"
Unexpectedly, Cao Weining just glanced at Gu Xiang's gaze, then brought his attention back, and whispered: "This woman's eyes are wandering and wandering. The photo book says they are called peach blossom eyes. Her mind is definitely not right, not as good as... not as good as that."
…”
The words behind him were pressed so low that Gu Xiang, who was staring at the beauty, didn't notice.
Wen Kexing, on the other hand, burst out laughing, thinking that Cao Weining was not clever himself, so he couldn't stand the quick eyesight of others, and the only ones he saw in his eyes were Gu Xiang's straight eyebrows and blank eyes.
The beauty glanced around, and then went straight upstairs and walked toward them. She didn't look at anyone, but was locked on Zhou Zishu. Her affectionate eyes seemed to be just pretending.
Zhou Zishu came as if he were alone, stood next to him, bent down and said to him with a deep breath: "I asked you to buy me a drink, okay?"
This was like a big peach blossom falling from the sky. Anyone could be knocked dizzy by it. However, before Zhou Zishu could say anything, he suddenly saw a disturbing hand stretched out from the side. Between them, Wen Ke
