Night, restaurant.
It’s a restaurant, but no one is drinking.
Inside the house, tea is cooked in a red stove, and the incense sticks are flying.
A middle-aged Taoist priest in Taoist robes and a young man in a wheelchair sat opposite each other, drinking tea and talking.
“The price offered by the Second Young Master is indeed very high.” Wu Mingzi held the teacup with a look of confusion on his face, “But you should also understand that if Pindao agrees to be your Representative, no matter whether we win or lose after that, I, the poor Taoist... and even the whole of Kunlun will be criticized to a certain extent."
"Junior naturally understands the Taoist priest's concerns, so we give the Taoist priest the reward. , it’s not just about money.” Murong Xiao had already thought about how to deal with Wu Mingzi’s “concern”, “Junior promised that as long as things come true, we will definitely send a copy to the Taoist Master in the future. 'Compensation' that satisfies you."
When Wu Mingzi heard this, he sneered in his heart, but on the surface he still cooperated with the other party, showing a look of impatience, and asked knowingly: "Can the second young master give it to me? Can you explain the 'compensation' more clearly?"
Murong Xiao's expression seemed unwavering: "Taoist Master, do you still need this junior to point it out?" Apart from the Heavenly Silkworm Technique, there is nothing that can make Taoist Master excited, right?"
"Oh?" Wu Mingzi raised his eyebrows and said with suspicion, "Could it be that...Murong The family is actually willing to hand over the Silkworm Seeking Ring to Pindao after winning this competition?"
"Huh..." Murong Xiao chuckled, "The Taoist Master misunderstood, what this junior meant is, wait. After our Murong family finds the silkworm skill that day, we can make a copy and give it to the Taoist priest."
As soon as these words came out, Wu Mingzi's face immediately turned dark again: "This is a bit far-fetched. Okay..." He paused and his voice became a bit colder, "According to what Second Young Master said, if Pindao fails to win in the end, or the Murong family fails to find the Heavenly Silkworm Art afterwards, this 'compensation' will be over. Really?"
Murong Xiao was caught in the flaw in his words, but he did not panic and continued to reply calmly: "Taoist Priest, at this moment, I, the Murong Family, are willing to believe that Taoist Priest, your sword skills can suppress you. You are the top among all the heroes, so why can’t you believe that... with the current strength of the Murong family, as long as they win the Silkworm Seeking Ring, they will definitely be able to find the Heavenly Silkworm Skill?"
When Wu Mingzi heard this, he said, Xin said that this young man was really eloquent, but this would save him a lot of trouble. He would be able to act more naturally when he pretended to be convinced later.
"So..." Wu Mingzi said in a deep voice, "Then if I propose it now...'What if the Murong family has found the Celestial Silkworm Art in the future, but claims to the outside world that they have not been able to find it? This assumption means that you are trying to judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?"
Some people may have noticed that the conversation between them now is different from the previous one between Shuangxi and Dingbuzhu. "Bargaining" is essentially the same thing.
But Wu Mingzi was not helpless, he had other considerations.
Let’s talk about this a little further...
Let’sEveryone knows that the "masked man" who snatched the True Hero Order from the Three-Character King earlier was Wu Mingzi.
Wu Mingzi, who is twenty-two years old this year, was given the nickname "Three-Eyed Jueyin".
The "three eyes" refer to his unique appearance: Wu Mingzi has a faint birthmark on his forehead, which is usually not conspicuous, but whenever he gets angry, the birthmark will appear. It gets this nickname because the skin is wrinkled and the blood vessels under the skin are congested, making it look like a third eye.
And that "Jue Yin" refers to his martial arts: when he was twenty years old, Wu Mingzi single-handedly eliminated a group of gangsters called the "Six Evils of Mangshan" , during that fight, the opponent could not even make a sound... In other words, Wu Mingzi's sword skills were not only too close for the opponent to parry with weapons, but he had also practiced it to the point where he could destroy the human body without making any sound. There were sounds of friction and cutting, and the opponent didn't even moan when he died... Such a state.
I think many people have realized that someone in their twenties has such strength...it seems a bit familiar, right? Isn't this another Lin Yuancheng?
Yes, it can be said that in terms of martial arts talent, Wu Mingzi is another Lin Yuancheng in the world.
However, his experience and temperament... are very different from Lin Yuancheng.
Although Lin Yuancheng was trained as a secret death warrior by a Jianghu hypocrite since he was a child, he has already seen the darkness of human nature, but fortunately, he got rid of that experience as an adult and still maintains a certain character. A very pure heart for seeking truth.
As for Wu Mingzi, he grew up in a sect like Kunlun since he was a child, and had high hopes for him. In his twenties, he has become famous in the world, and his future in the sect is limitless. It seems like this is a much better start than Lin Yuancheng...
However, a well-designed internal fight within the sect many years ago caused Wu Mingzi's outlook and character to undergo a huge change.
After that incident, Wu Mingzi’s mentor committed suicide with hatred. Although Wu Mingzi still stayed in Kunlun, everyone knew that politically speaking, he was already considered dead; even if he When he reaches the age of seventy, he will still be a "senior in the sect" with high martial arts skills and a famous name, but without any position. Even if the leader changes three times, no one will give him any real power, or even No apprentice would let him accept him.
Since then, Wu Mingzi, as expected, has become a very tolerant person who lives on thin ice.
Although his passionate heart, which was very similar to Lin Yuancheng's, has not been completely extinguished, it has already been blocked in many cities that want to "stand up" and vow to "revenge".
In recent years, there have been few moments that can occasionally stir the fire in his heart. Last month’s brief confrontation with the Three-Word King in Jilin Forest, let’s just count it as one... Of course, that also made him He paid the price - he still doesn't know that his original whim has exposed himself.
Anyway, after grabbing the True Hero Token, Wu Mingzi successfully asked the Shadowless Poison Lord to receive a "Unless you use the True Hero Token"A mission that I would never accept otherwise for reward" - to get rid of the "Xunlong Sword" Dugu Sheng without leaving any trace.
Who knows, there will be twists and turns in this matter, and Master Wuyingdu will still be there Before arriving at Jinling, Dugu and his son came to Cangzhou.
The "Struggle for Champions Cup" happened a few days later, causing most of the people in the martial arts community to rush here.
Wu Mingzi thought about it: Although not many people know about the grievances between Dugu Sheng and me, it is not impossible... If Dugu Sheng died as I originally expected... If I can't find any clues at home in Jinling, then it would be best for me to stay in Kunlun, thousands of miles away. But now that Dugu and his son and a large number of martial arts people have flocked to Cangzhou, the water is very muddy, and the Poison Master is bound to be If I want to start here, then if I am not in Cangzhou at this time and do not come to join in the fun... When Dugu Shengyi dies, won't I look suspicious?
Thinking of this, Wu Ming Zi came quickly.
He was coming anyway, and the Kunlun sect didn’t stop him. Even the current head of Kunlun was eager for Wu Mingzi to do something outside that was disgraceful to the family tradition, so he took advantage of the opportunity. He was expelled from the school.
As a result, Wu Mingzi was "invited" by the Murong family as a guest as soon as he arrived in Cangzhou, which led to the current "bargain".
Obviously, Wu Mingzi had already guessed that the Murong family wanted to invite him to be a "contestant" on the way here, and he had already thought about agreeing.
Because of that. As a player and a representative of a seed team like the Murong family, he will inevitably be accompanied or paid attention to by others day and night, which gives him an extremely sufficient "alibi"
< p>In addition, Dugu Sheng has been in the world for so many years, and he must have more than one enemy. It would be better if he muddies the water again when he has proof.As for it. To be honest, Wu Mingzi didn't care that much about "Celestial Silkworm Kung Fu".
He understood it twenty years ago - no matter how high a person's martial arts skills are, there will be times when he is powerless. /p>
This world has never been able to be played clearly by relying on magic skills, passion, and a loyal heart...
If you only rely on these three things, If you are lucky enough to survive until the day when you see through the true nature of the world, then the only thought you will have left is "escape intact."
Of course, Wu Mingzi doesn't care about the "Celestial Silkworm Skill". There is another reason.
That is...with his current martial arts, it is only the part he is willing to show to the world.
" Tao. Sir, please forgive me for speaking frankly..." Seeing that Wu Mingzi was still arguing, Murong Xiao once again defended with his sharp tongue, "Peerless martial arts is certainly something that everyone dreams of, but if you look at the world, one The Gate God Skill is just a "limited thing" limited to the force of one person or a few people... The "infinite thing" that can really make people conquer Fang Qiu and dominate the world is wealth, power, wisdom, and Reason...
"I, the Murong family, have great ambitions. If, in order to monopolize this martial art, we break our promise to you, Taoist Master, and lose credibility in front of the people of the world... then in the eyes of the younger generation, it is really a small gain but a big gain. , the act of disembowelment to hide the pearl."
Everyone, after listening to this paragraph, Wu Mingzi must have heard the words in his heart - this child must not be kept.
Of course, he won't show it on his face. After all, the way he has been arguing with the other party for a long time today and acting in a manner that can be seen through is just a way for him to hide himself.
Seeing that Murong Xiao performed so well, Wu Mingzi felt that it was almost the same: "Okay! Okay." He pretended to be sincerely convinced, "Second Young Master has seen a lot of people at a young age and has a good chest. "Excellent, I sincerely admire you! Let's settle this matter."
Murong Xiao smiled and raised his glass: "Then I will replace the wine with tea and share the honor with the Taoist priest." Make an appointment, please!”
Wu Mingzi also smiled and picked up the teacup: “Please!”
When the two people toasted, Murong Shu, who was sitting in the dark and observing, finally He also breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, when Murong Xiao, a bastard who had never been involved in the world of martial arts, volunteered to take on the responsibility of negotiating with Wu Mingzi, Murong Shu was still a little bit shy.
At this moment, seeing Murong Xiao handle things so smoothly, Murong Shu became more and more impressed with him, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: This child A Xiao is indeed outstanding. If everything goes well, my Murong family will be the last If I really find the Silkworm Art that day, and Axiao can cure his illness with this magical art and take over my position as the head of the family, then the prospects of the Murong family in the future are limitless...
Of course, I have it in my heart. Murong Shu was not the only one who thought this way.
It’s just that his other two legitimate sons have certain opinions on this matter. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
