As the sleepless monk walked, he kept pressing his swollen right palm on the stone wall of the tunnel to soothe the pain with the coolness. He couldn't help but ask:
"So, the assassins under the 'Yishui Pavilion' will also attack the assassins listed on the list for generous rewards? Then the master of the Yishui Pavilion, the young masters, don't even try to persuade them to return to protect them?"
Shi Xiaoren nodded slightly: "This is where Yishui Pavilion behaves strangely. According to the number of four images, 'Yishui Pavilion' is divided into four gates: Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu, which are divided into east, west and south.
Assassins from all over the north, each sect has a young pavilion master.
However, instead of prohibiting assassins from killing each other, the Young Pavilion Masters of the Four Gates often made bets on assassins under his command to kill each other. They were proud of winning and ashamed of losing. In the end, they won or lost a large sum of gold and silver. However, in this way,
Assassins killing each other rarely happen."
"Then after more than a hundred years, no assassin has come out of Yishui Pavilion to assassinate the young pavilion master?" the sleepless monk continued.
"Reverse? Why rebel?"
Shi Xiaoren said with a strange look, "These assassins join 'Yishui Pavilion' just to earn some money for taking risks, or they want to avoid disaster by relying on the big tree. Therefore, although the assassins work for 'Yishui Pavilion', they are not
A submissive dependency relationship is like a paid clerk. When you want to quit, you only need to cancel your name. It is not considered betrayal.
As for assassinating the young pavilion masters! Firstly, it is unnecessary, and secondly, it cannot be killed. I just told you that the four young pavilion masters are responsible for receiving and dispatching assassinations. Regardless of the princes in the court or the gangsters, as long as there is any
After receiving the money, they came over to offer rewards for killing people, and they would not refuse anyone who came, copying and publishing the list one by one. They were regarded as "mutual traders" between the money owner and the assassins. As assassins, why would they want to hurt his life?
Moreover, today we can't even pass the 'Kunlun Twin Ghosts' level. If we want to go deeper into the underground palace, the skills of the defenders will become more and more powerful. How can ordinary assassins get close? In addition, this tunnel is not only extremely narrow.
, and there are countless twists and turns, and there are many hidden secrets. Even if a large army comes to attack, I am afraid that it will advance and retreat in a mess, and return in a disastrous defeat."
After listening to this, the sleepless monk felt convinced. Then he asked the last question: "What is the difference between the 'permanent assassin' and the 'temporary assassin'? Why did Senior Brother Huicong and I have to do the 'temporary assassin' first?"
Assassin? You want to kill a person on the list in vain as a 'voucher of fame'?"
Shi Xiaoren cleared his throat and then said patiently: "The big difference is that the 'permanent assassins' are all selected from the 'temporary assassins'. They must not only have outstanding martial arts skills, but also be loyal and brave. So "Two Capitals"
When the Capital List is first compiled every year, these "permanent assassins" must go through it first, pick out the well-paid jobs in advance, divide them up, and they are responsible for assassinating them, which is called the "Inner List"; the remaining rewards are
For relatively small tasks, they were re-copied, engraved with engravings, and printed into volumes, called 'waibang'. They were then distributed to 'temporary assassins' and waited for them to come and claim the tasks."
The sleepless monk couldn't help but curl his lips and said: "That's it! The inner list is meat, the outer list is soup. You will eat meat forever and drink soup when you are here. This business of heads is indeed done extremely shrewdly!"
Zen Master Huicong also suddenly said: "It seems that what Nanige gave us should be the outer list of the "Top Capital List of Two Capitals". It's just that the "Second List of the Top Capital of Two Capitals" that he gave us later was another
What Mingtang?”
Shi Xiaoren smiled bitterly and said: "Actually... that is not a deputy list at all. It should be a private job of the 'Kunlun Twin Ghosts', selling dog meat on sheep's heads! But if you two can do as they say, you will end up with something."
Two errands, hand over the head. They will get the reward and benefit, and they will recommend you two to the 'Yishui Pavilion'. This deal is quite a good deal..."
When the sleepless monk heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry: "This is what a dog is doing...does the Young Pavilion Master not care about it?"
Shi Xiaoren smiled and sighed: "It's just a small profit! For every assassination job with a reward, 'Yishui Pavilion' gets 50% of the bonus. It accumulates to a lot, so how can we look down on these little people?"
Are you making a little fuss? Just let the Young Pavilion Master know about it, and you can at most reprimand him a few words without losing any skin or flesh."
But Zen Master Huicong heard the key: "So, to enter the Yishui Pavilion, you must be recommended by a trustworthy person? Could it be that the royal envoy who was the prime minister of the dynasty was also a Yishui Pavilion?
A permanent assassin?!"
Shi Xiaoren simply stopped, nodded and said: "In terms of reputation in the world, 'Yishui Pavilion' is considered to be the best, and it has offended so many sects and families. Therefore, in order to use the 'Inspection and Judgment' method, one must be trustworthy.
Recommendations are required to prevent sneakers from sneaking in and deliberately retaliating.
Of course, the palace envoy is not an assassin, but is looking for the financial sponsor of "Yishui Pavilion" who issued a reward for the assassination. "Yishui Pavilion" calls him the "donor". The pavilion master and the young pavilion master will see each other as the "supporter"
Depending on the size of the transaction, we will give you some additional benefits, including recommending 'temporary assassins'."
"According to this, the palace envoy used this extra preferential treatment to give Master Shi Guanzhu a way to make a fortune every year for free?" Thinking that he was not as favored as Shi Xiaoren when he worked for Wang Jin, the sleepless monk said,
I couldn't help but feel a little more sour.
Shi Xiaoren's tone dropped, and his words were low as he said: "Shi Shi was poisoned five years ago, his Taoist skills were abolished, and his Dantian was completely destroyed! If it weren't for the envoy from the royal palace who taught me the art of releasing Gang Qi and the method of Shaoshi's Zen stick, and
Recommend Mr. Shi to this 'Yishui Pavilion'. I'm afraid that Mr. Shi will be in ruins long ago, and the Taoist priests in Jingyun's audience will have become like birds and beasts."
Monk Sleepless and Zen Master Huicong didn't know that he had such a secret. The jealousy in their hearts disappeared immediately. They asked at the same time: "Who harmed you?"
Shi Xiaoren immediately gritted his teeth: "It's the master of Shangqing Temple, Gong, Sun, Xuan, Tong!"
The sun is rising, and the morning dew is slightly dry.
In the guest room of the "Tianzi No. 2" building, the incense couch is calm, the curtain is motionless, the jade mountains are undulating, and the white stones are silent.
A pair of beautiful women were lying on each other's back between the crooked quilts, their heads resting on ape's arms, and bamboo knots clinging to their waists. They all slept soundly.
The morning sun slanted in and sprinkled on the pink and jade-carved face, giving off the soft light of white porcelain, and no flaws could be found. The eyelashes in the deep eyes trembled slightly, and the pair of water-cut pupils slowly opened, reflecting the
Chiseled sleeping face.
Xiaoman stared at the young master who was very close at hand, and couldn't help but draw a soft hand on his eyebrows and temples, and infinite happiness surged in his heart.
However, this beauty only lasted for a few breaths and was replaced by unspeakable shyness.
It turned out that Yang Zhaoxi had been awakened by her warm breath, but he pretended to be unable to sleep, and could only savor the movement of light and shadow in front of his eyes. Suddenly, his hand was like lightning, and he caught the jade hand that was unintentionally teasing, and then used his tongue.
The bullet hit the onion-cut jade finger squarely.
Xiaoman was startled, his cheeks turned red, he was ashamed and annoyed. Seeing that he couldn't pull his hand away, he simply retracted his head into the quilt, like a frightened bird.
However, Yang Zhaoxi stretched herself out, feeling her breath coming out and feeling refreshed. Suddenly she caught a glimpse of the round bulge somewhere under the quilt, and she couldn't hold it back, so she stretched out her hand and made a "pop"
A tap.
"Huh?! Young Master, what are you doing... You are a frivolous and frivolous child, were you not satisfied last night... last night?" Xiaoman couldn't help but moaned as he was sullen in the quilt.
"It's daybreak, let's...should we get up?" Yang Zhaoxi grabbed Xiaomanyu's hand and half sat up, saying with some reluctance. Then Xiaoman carefully got out again, his cheeks were as red as Xiaxia.
Cai Cai looked at his naked upper body with soft eyes and said: "Master... you, turn your back... Xiaoman needs to get dressed!"
Yang Chaoxi joked: "I'm afraid the clothes that were soaked yesterday haven't been starched yet. What are you wearing? Shouldn't you just wear this quilt and go with me to find the old man Wang?"
"Humph! The young master is dead!"
Xiao Man said angrily, "When I first came here yesterday, I gave the shopkeeper enough money and asked them to buy clothes. Master, please don't lie to me! You went out to see what was going on yesterday, and the store clerk already sent it!
Now it’s being placed outside... A--sneeze! A-sneeze~~"
Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by several solid sneezes. Then two streams of cold, clear tears flowed down the crowd. Xiao Man hurriedly turned his face and took a hand towel to wipe it with.
Yang Zhaoxi leaned down and said in her ear: "You must have caught a cold last night and felt a slight cold. How about I go get some hot water and let's drive away the cold before we leave?"
Listening to his warm words, Xiaoman felt his ears were itching slightly and his cheeks were hot. A faint numbing feeling came from the roots of his ears and quickly spread throughout his body. He responded imperceptibly: "Yes."
Yang Zhaoxi immediately got up, ran to the outside room, put on a new robe, and left the guest room.
Half an hour later, a large wooden basin, a few new towels, and two steaming wooden barrels were placed in the inner room. There were also copper kettles, bath beans, pumice stones, wooden clogs and other utensils lined up beside the wooden basin.
on the crescent stool for easy access.
Yang Chaoxi bolted the doors and windows, lowered the curtains, and then helped Xiaoman step onto the crescent stool and slowly sit in the basin. He also quickly took off his robes, threw them on the couch, jumped lightly, and fell into the wooden basin.
, splashing with warm water splashes.
"Hiss—it's so hot!" Yang Zhaoxi tensed up, ready to jump out.
"It's not bad! Xiaoman usually takes a bath with this kind of warm soup."
While speaking, Xiao Manyu gently reached out with her hand, hugged one of Yang Chaoxi's arms, and pulled him back into the basin as he was about to escape. She said with a sweet smile, "Young master, don't you want to ward off the cold? Just get used to it and you'll be fine! Geez!
"
Only then did Yang Chaoxi realize that the glow on Xiaoman's cheeks had already dyed her jade neck red. In his deep, starry eyes, there was tenderness like water, and the glistening light was misty. He couldn't help but murmured: "Xiaoman...
…What a nice view……"
Xiao Man lowered his eyebrows and said nothing in shame, his black hair slid down like a waterfall, and half of his body was nestled on his slightly thin chest; a pair of jade arms were like a dragon emerging from the water, softly clinging to his neck, and his slender lips gradually raised
He got up and greeted him silently.
The inner energy in Yang Chaoxi's lower dantian suddenly burst out, and a burning stream was like lava. It rushed straight up in an instant and quickly occupied the middle and upper dantian. Immediately, there was a "buzz" in his head, and only one was left.
Thoughts. Before I knew it, my arms had already wrapped around the waist swaying in the water, hugging her tighter and tighter...
The heat wave is rolling, the water is splashing, the snow is piled on the strange peaks, and the stormy waves are crashing on the shore!
The two fell in love for a long time before they stopped and got down to business. They poured water in the copper pot, wiped their bodies with bath beans, washed their hair with soap locusts, and wiped their backs with pumice stones... After all the sweat and dirt were removed, they combed their buns and tied their hair with hairpins.
, each changed into a shirt, skirt, and robe. Hand in hand, we left the building and went to Daodefang.
Looking back at the fragrant couch, the blankets are bunched up and the pillows are crooked. On the soft and cool rush mat, there are neither rouge spots nor peach petals. It will inevitably make those who don't understand what is going on have clouds of doubt in their hearts.
.
Little did they know that although the two had a night of fun, Young Master Yang was so nervous that he found the wrong way and entered the wrong cave... Therefore, although the two had a physical relationship, they did not have the reality of being a man and a woman.
