2. Once you collect the treasure, ride an ox down to Yangzhou (8)
The two young men Wang Xiang and Yang Yao didn't know what Wang Chong wanted to do and why he recruited these little beggars.
Since the Huayi Gang was wiped out, this group of beggars had no gang support and were fighting for territory. They were often bullied. They wished they could defect to a more powerful backer, but they were more excited than worried.
Wang Chong casually took out a hundred taels of silver, threw it to Wang Xiang, and said: "The fruit shop in front of our house is going to be redeemed. You should go and redeem it, and it will be a good business!"
Wang Xiang Yang Yao and all the beggars were immediately stunned, but no one dared to say anything.
Wang Xiang picked up the silver and went out.
Wang Chong also threw a baggage to Yang Yao and said, "I will also give you a hundred taels of silver. You can take these beggars to have a good wash, change into new clothes, and have a good meal, and then give them to Wang Chong." Mutually."
Yang Yao took the money from Wang Chong and left in confusion.
Little did these little beggars know that Wang Chong also discovered that his identity was quite flawed after he met the old Taoist priest Yang Zhuozhen, so he casually "rectified the problem".
He is a young man of unknown origin, lives in an abandoned house, and has no servants around him to serve him. Calling him a gangster is just a good idea. Wang Chong's behavior is most similar to that of foxes and weasels who have become spirits. These little fairies like to do this kind of thing, occupying deserted houses.
It would be a big joke if Taoist priests who catch demons and subjugate ghosts in the rivers and lakes are provoked because of this "flaw".
Wang Chong didn't expect these little beggars to do anything, he just wanted to hold up the scene first, and then slowly fill up the atmosphere.
He had all the money on hand, and he was not stingy with the two children. Within a few days, the deserted house was completely new.
Wang Xiang and Yang Yao really look like housekeepers, and they are two good hands in making a living.
Wang Xiang is quite scheming. Although the fresh fruit business is small and the profits are small, as long as you are willing to put your mind into it, even the small profits are still profitable. After he took over the business, there was actually a slight surplus every day, which was used to subsidize the family.
Yang Yao had a lively temperament and was not as stable as the king. He organized the beggars and selected a dozen of them who were diligent and decent to help in the shop. The rest were sent out with their shoulders. I bought a basket and started selling fresh fruits along the street. Although there was no surplus yet, everyone in Chengdu knew that the fruits in this fresh fruit shop were fresh, high-quality and low-priced.
The little beggars had gone through hardships in their wanderings and suddenly found a stable place. They were all very diligent and refused to rest when they came back every night and had to clean the house several times. With hundreds of beggars coming in and out, this abandoned house suddenly looked like a wealthy family.
Wang Chong was busy practicing, and after giving the instructions, he didn't care much. In fact, he had already spotted a few serious houses and planned to buy them and move them out. However, the underworld snake had not yet come out of the tank, so it was not convenient to move them for the time being. , and then the delay came.
On this day, Wang Chong was meditating at home when he suddenly heard the voice of a child. Not long after, his young man brought a six or seven-year-old Taoist priest over.
Wang Chong saw that he was an acquaintance. This young Taoist priest was Yang Yincheng, Yang Zhuozhen's young disciple. He asked with a smile: "Why are you free to come here today? But your master invites me?"
The little Taoist priest bowed to the ground and said with a serious face: "It's the teacher who invited me. I wonder if Mr. Tang has some free time?"
Wang Chong responded: "It's nothing, I'm going to pay my respects to the master right now."
Wang Chong gave instructions to his young men and followed Yang Yincheng out. Seeing the young Taoist priest's sharp eyes, he asked casually: "Little Taoist master! Have you learned any magic?"
The little Taoist priest replied with a sweet voice: "Master said that what he learned was not the authentic Taoism. He was afraid of delaying me, so he only taught me the art of nourishing qi. I hope I can have a chance in the future."
Wang Chong smiled slightly and did not answer. He did not want to be a "chance" for this little Taoist priest. He risked his life and death and went through all the trouble to steal the Yuanyang Sword Technique. How could he teach it to others in vain? He did not hesitate to teach the Scripture of the King of Heavenly Serpents, but Yang Zhuozhen and his disciples had to be brave enough to learn it. Such evil spells, after being refined, would be very powerful, but would also cause endless troubles.
When the young Taoist priest saw that Mr. Tang did not answer the question, he felt unhappy. He took Wang Chong to his temple and went to the back to sulk.
Yang Zhuo was really giving instructions to his eldest disciple. He had set up an altar and was teaching his eldest disciple how to step, step, and fight step by step. This Taoist temple is very small, the incense is not strong, and it is quite clean on weekdays, so Yang Zhuozhen often has time to teach his disciples martial arts.
Seeing Wang Chong coming, the old Taoist priest asked Yang Mingyuan to practice on his own and hurriedly came over.
Wang Chong's sharp eyes saw that what Yang Zhuozhen had set up was the Six Yin Ghost Horse Altar, which was a side sect's method of practicing the Six Yin Suo. He could break this side sect's magic with just a raise of his hand, and he didn't bother to take a second look. Wang Chong laughed and said, "The Taoist priest looks a little anxious, but what's the matter?"
Yang Zhuozhen sighed and said: "Young Master Tang is also a man of the Tao. He has long seen through the tricks of the old Taoist. There is no need to hide some things. I am indeed worried about one thing. If Mr. Tang is willing to help me, A seasoned person may be able to overcome this difficulty.”
Wang Chong smiled slightly, but did not agree at all. He said with a smile: "Taoist Yang, can you tell me something?"
When Yang Zhuo saw that this "Tang Gongzi" didn't reject him at all, he gave up a little and explained: "The old Taoist came from a small family. My master only accepted two apprentices. I also have a senior brother named Meng. Xihang..."
Wang Chong couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "But the two junior brothers turned against each other?"
The old Taoist priest sighed a little, and said: "The master is humiliated, it is indeed because he is not on good terms with his senior brother!"
Hearing the old Taoist priest Yang Zhuozhen admit that it was his senior brother who was seeking revenge, Wang Chong smiled and said, "Which of your two families is right or wrong, you have to tell me. I only help with principles, not friendship."
Wang Chong said this not because he had any rules, but because he intentionally or unintentionally created the illusion that he was from a well-known and upright family, so as to prevent others from spying on him.
Yang Zhuozhen hurriedly shouted: "The right and wrong are all decided by oneself! The old Taoist priest dare not deceive his conscience." The old Taoist priest immediately told the story of his sect.
His master was a side sect, but he also practiced several spells and wrote a volume of talismans. Before his death, he asked his two apprentices to choose, one to inherit his Taoist temple and the other to inherit his talismans.
The senior brother was greedy for the Taoist temple's wealth, so he chose to inherit his sect's legacy. Yang Zhuozhen naturally chose the Talisman and found a Taoist temple to hang out.
Originally, the two brothers had their own duties, and nothing happened in the first few years. Later, senior brother Yang Zhuozhen seemed to have encountered some difficulties. He sent letters several times asking Yang Zhuozhen to lend him the talisman. Naturally, Yang Zhuozhen was reluctant. Ken.
