The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu
Chapter 1886: Face Pass
Big Wolf pulled it up with all his strength, but heard a series of whooshing, clanging, and ding-ding noises!
It turned out that when Bigwolf pulled up the seven-story pagoda, he triggered the mechanism underneath, and countless various hidden weapons were shot out, making a whistling sound, and then when they hit Bigwolf, there was a clanging sound of metal collision, followed by the tinkling sound when those hidden weapons fell on the blue bricks!
Big Wolf's iron body was naturally unscathed! He put the pagoda aside, and saw a black hole in the base of the pagoda!
The entrance of the cave was only wide enough for one person to pass through. The steps inside extended diagonally downwards. After a few feet, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen!
Big Wolf walked down without hesitation. Even if there were hidden weapons inside, so what? He was now invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire! What was there to be afraid of?
Feng Jiuxiao stood there quietly without moving.
Since Big Wolf had already gone down, there was no need for him and Zeng Yong to follow him.
Zeng Yong said: "I think the cellar in front should be quite big! And you can only store silver here, not banknotes, because it is in the shade of the mountain and the air is quite humid. If you put the banknotes here, they will probably grow mold!"
Feng Jiuxiao stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Well, if all this is silver, it will be troublesome." If they are all large silver ingots weighing dozens of taels each, how many kilograms will a box weigh? It will not be easy to carry and circulate.
Zeng Yong frowned and said, "What if we leave it here and don't move it, and then we can talk about it later? How about that?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Not good! There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable! If we can't take everything away in one fell swoop this time, someone else will definitely intervene! We must move everything tonight! Otherwise, there will be no second chance!"
If you don't take what heaven gives you, you will suffer the chaos instead!
Instead of being controlled by others, it is better to be in control!
What kind of people are there among the dozens of pilgrims in Panlong Temple? Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for one! When you come back next time and open the cave door to look inside, there will be no one inside in all likelihood!
Zeng Yong nodded, "Well, you are right, then let's do as you say!"
Soon Big Wolf came up, shrugged his shoulders, and said softly, "There are only wooden boxes in there, filled with silver ingots, no silver bills. What's going on? What are you doing?"
Feng Jiuxiao asked: "How big is the box? The hole is so small, can it be lifted out?"
Big Wolf said, "It's okay. The boxes are all small boxes. Each box is filled with small silver ingots arranged in five rows, ten columns, and ten layers. It's no problem to take them out. Each small silver ingot is probably only twenty taels."
Feng Jiuxiao stretched out his hands and virtually gestured the size of the box, "Five lines, ten columns, ten rows. Well, the box is indeed not big."
Silver ingots are relatively thin, so they do not take up much space when arranged in a row.
"Five hundred twenty taels equals exactly ten thousand taels... one box is ten thousand taels... that's more than a hundred small boxes... a cart would be very strained if it could only carry two boxes, and if it carried three the wheels would be crushed... we have three carriages now, and they can only carry six boxes at most, so we still need more than a hundred boxes to be loaded..."
Feng Jiuxiao talked to himself and fell into deep thought!
He and Zeng Yong had just analyzed this. If they took away three boxes first and left behind more than a hundred boxes of silver ingots, there would be a mix of good and bad people in the temple. Who could guarantee that no news would get out?
Just now, Feng, Zeng, and Bigger were walking this way. At least they were seen by many people! Wouldn't they suspect what the three of them were doing behind the Sutra Library?
They just have relatively low martial arts skills, but they are not stupid!
Is it destined that I will be sleepless tonight?
Well, after thinking about it, I am indeed destined to have sleepless nights!
In this case, we should weigh the two benefits and choose the greater one, and weigh the two harms and choose the lesser one!
Borrow a car!
Just ask the sisters-in-law to borrow a car!
Their husbands' family, the Hexi Li family, must be a wealthy family. It shouldn't be a problem for their husbands to go back and borrow a car overnight!
At this time Pang Shiwu also came over.
Feng Jiuxiao immediately said, "Fifteen, urgent matters should be handled specially! Go find the two sisters-in-law of the Li family right now, and accompany them to Wenchuan City to borrow cars overnight! The more the better, at least no less than twenty! You can pay! Pay more! Each car will cost five hundred taels, capped at two thousand taels!"
Zeng Yong said: "I suggest capping it at 5,000!"
Feng Jiuxiao was startled, then said: "Yes! The wool comes from the sheep, and we don't lose anything. The upper limit is 5,000 taels! This is the hard work fee for each vehicle, not all vehicles!"
Pang Shiwu was a little puzzled. "Will they agree? Even if they agree, will their husbands agree?"
Feng Jiuxiao said, "They will definitely agree! We are not forcing them to pay, we are just giving them money! Their husbands will definitely agree! Didn't Brother Zeng say that if they don't agree to one thousand taels, then we'll have to pay two thousand taels! People die for money and birds die for food. Wouldn't it be stupid for them not to make money?"
Pang Shiwu said, "Since we are all paying, why do we have to find them? Can't we find someone else? There are dozens of cars outside the temple, which is just enough!"
Feng Jiuxiao said, "Don't you want to keep a low profile by not inviting so many people? Their in-laws are from the Li family in Hexi, Wenchuan. They must have a certain reputation and strength in the local area. If the head of their family comes forward to borrow the car, it will be twice the result with half the effort!"
Seeing that Pang Shiwu seemed to be still pondering, Zeng Yong immediately said, "Yes, Shiwu, we definitely can't deal with these pilgrims! What kind of cars do they have? Some are made of golden nanmu, some are made of huanghuali, some are inlaid with gold, or covered with Persian carpets. If you ask them to borrow a car, will they lend it to you? No matter what you say you will use it for, they won't believe you. They are just afraid that you will break it!"
Pang Shiwu hummed.
Zeng Yong continued: "Besides, it's the middle of the night, it's pitch black, you're unfamiliar with the place, you probably don't even know the directions, how can you find a carriage? Besides, it's so late, the porters and drivers in the city must have gone to bed long ago. Even if you find them, they won't be willing to come, and it probably takes a long time! Besides, how many carriages can you find in one night? Can you find twenty carriages? So asking Li's sisters-in-law for help is the most effective! Their father-in-law must be famous, powerful, and well-connected in the local area! Using their connections to find a carriage is much faster than us! Our search is not much different from looking for a needle in a haystack!"
Pang Shiwu said: "I understand! Then I'll go!"
Zeng Yong instructed: "Okay! The sooner the better! We will wait for you here all night!" It was he who proposed the idea of transferring the treasure of Panlong Temple, so it must be successful tonight, so he was extremely nervous, fearing that there would be any mistakes!
When Pang Shiwu found the sisters-in-law, he said, "Can the two young ladies help find a car? We can discuss the travel expenses and labor fees!"
Unexpectedly, Li Liang agreed immediately: "No problem!"
Pang Shiwu was surprised. This woman agreed too quickly! The key point was that she agreed in front of her man!
She said directly: "My benefactor! Is this a big deal? Let's go now!"
Seeing that Li Meng and the second son of the Li family were still hesitant, Li Liang said, "Uncle, sister-in-law, if you two have any concerns, stay here. Your eldest brother and I will go back to the mansion to ask father for help. If father does not agree, I will go back to my mother's house to ask for help!"
The young man in his mid-twenties standing behind her was none other than Mr. Li. He frowned upon hearing her words and said, "Why do you need to trouble my father-in-law for such a small matter? You don't have to tell my father about it when we get home. I can do it myself!"
He turned to Pang Shiwu and asked, "How many carriages do you need, young man?"
Pang Shiwu said calmly, "Twenty, at least twenty! The more the better!"
"What?" Young Master Li was suddenly shocked!
He was a little surprised to have to collect twenty carriages at once! The Shu army rarely dispatched twenty carriages at once during a war!
Pang Shiwu smiled and said, "Why, Master Li, are twenty cars a bit too many?" He deliberately revealed a hint of contempt!
Mr. Li immediately showed a hearty smile and said proudly: "How could it be? Only twenty cars! Not many!"
How many years has Pang Shiwu been in the underworld? Naturally, he could see through that Mr. Li was gritting his teeth and holding on!
But Pang Shiwu had no choice. He couldn’t be soft-hearted at this time!
Once you show the slightest sympathy and say something like "Twenty is not enough, ten will do", the expected target will be lowered continuously, and tonight's operation will be 100% impossible to complete!
If big brother says at least twenty carriages are needed, then at least twenty carriages are needed!
One less car will cause trouble! One less car means a fish slips through the net! Silver fish!
Once those heroes in the martial arts world smell the stench of money here, no, the smell of silverfish, they will naturally surround us from all directions, just like sharks smelling blood!
Who are you surrounding? Of course, you are surrounding yourself!
That will be another bloody road! Thorns at every step, blood at every step, and corpses at every step!
Don’t show off your wealth!
I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me!
Therefore, the more carriages there are, the better, and they must be moved away at once! No tails left!
For Young Master Li, the young man in black before him is his Li family’s undoubted benefactor!
The “three consecutive axe attacks” of the young man in black really made him drop his jaw!
The first move exposed the true face of the monks in the temple, allowing him to stop the loss in time! He was originally going to donate 10,000 taels of silver, but now, he saved it!
The second trick was to clearly tell everyone that the recipe for the Panlong Temple's pregnancy-preserving medicine was actually from their Medicine King Valley! Although everyone was skeptical about his identity, he did give everyone the secret recipes "Lingshu Duozi Yuzhen Recipe" and "Shesheng Mantra" for free! He gave away a formula worth a million dollars, spending money like water, and everyone was shocked!
The third trick was that at such a young age he was able to develop the legendary sword light. When the two swords, one red and one blue, emitted two sword lights that resembled dragons and snakes, it was truly astonishing!
This kind of extraordinary person is hard to come by. Now that you are lucky enough to meet him, it is a tremendous opportunity. You must take the initiative to seize it!
I have to help you whether I want to or not!
What's more, he is a benefactor!
What's more, they just want to borrow the carriage, not ask for it!
What's more, they are lending it for free, paying the money! The key is not bargaining! What kind of magic operation is this? Why don't you help? Aren't you a fool?
Help, must help!
Pang Shiwu didn't expect that within just a few breaths, Master Li's mind would have so many changes! At least he saw Master Li's determination to help!
So he smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Li!"
Young Master Li said, "Young Master Pang, please follow me!"
Pang Shiwu said, "Okay! Why don't you ask me why I need so many cars?"
Mr. Li suddenly paused and said solemnly, "It is an honor for me that you can borrow my car! As for what this car is used for, it has nothing to do with me! Even if you are going to dismantle the temple and pull the beams, we will not be surprised!"
Pang Shiwu laughed and said, "Haha, it's not necessary to demolish the temple. Master Li really has the demeanor of a family head!"
Mr. Li's eyes lit up immediately: "Thank you for the compliment, young man! Shall we go?"
"go!"
"Okay! Please follow me!" The eldest son of the Li family took two quick steps and suddenly turned back to his younger brother, the second son of the Li family, and said, "It's getting late now, and you two are tired. Take a good rest and come back tomorrow morning!"
Mr. Li had a complicated expression. He didn't know whether he was ashamed or frustrated. Anyway, he was not very happy. "Okay, I know!"
Pang Shiwu thought: When a wealthy family has many children, there will be conflicts over power and profit. The conflict between the eldest and second sons is most likely a conflict of interests. The second son seems a little weak.
Arriving at the parking lot, Pang Shiwu saw Young Master Li sitting in the front, whipping up the horse and preparing to drive the carriage. He was a little surprised: "Young Master Li, you didn't bring a groom?"
Mr. Li said, "In the past, every household in Wenchuan had a horseman driving the cart when going up the mountain. Later, I don't know when it started, but everyone stopped using horsemen. They said that if the husband drives the cart himself, it shows his sincerity, and the Bodhisattva will be more moved, so the wish will be more effective." Pang Shiwu thought to himself: Nine out of ten times, those lewd monks have come up with evil ideas again! They keep strengthening the psychological hints of the pilgrims, making the fake become more and more real!
He said, "Yes, yes, yes! Sincerity is the key to success!" He suddenly realized a problem, "Mr. Li, you drive the car, and Madam Li sits in the car, so where should I sit?"
Young Master Li smiled and said, "Young Master, of course you are also sitting in the car!"
Pang Shiwu said, "Mrs. Li and I are alone in the same carriage. Isn't this... inappropriate?"
Young Master Li said generously: "We are all children of the underworld, why should we be so fussy about trivial matters? Young Master Pang is upright and aboveboard, and I am not a narrow-minded person. Young Master, please stop being polite and get in the car!"
Pang Shiwu said, "Okay!" This was all the other party had to say, and it would seem hypocritical if he continued to be polite!
After he and Li Liang got into the carriage, he rolled up the curtain in front and hung it on a hook so that Young Master Li could look back and see what was happening inside the carriage at any time.
Li Liang watched Pang Shiwu's every move, and she remained silent in the car.
She is a smart woman. Although her husband acts generous, she cannot really take her husband’s “not mind” as an excuse and let herself go!
It is important to keep a good sense of proportion when dealing with melons and plums!
Feng Jiuxiao observed every move of Young Master Li and could see that he had practiced martial arts, with a straight body and strong limbs. However, he could also see that his fighting ability level was just average, at most at the third or fourth level!
Young Master Li shook the whip, and it made a loud snap, which looked quite realistic!
"Young Master Pang, where are you from? Are you really from Medicine King Valley?"
"We are one family with Yaowang Valley, and the Valley Master is my sworn brother."
"Oh, sworn brothers? I didn't expect you two were so close! Where are you going?"
"Go... go to Worry-Free Valley."
"I guess that's where you're going!"
"Oh? What?"
"Because you have women around you! Any woman from other places who appears around Wenchuan is most likely heading for Worry-Free Valley! Because that's where the priceless treasure of youth - the anti-aging cream is produced!"
"Which direction is Worry-Free Valley?"
"First we have to go into the city, which is in the north. We are in the south now."
"Oh."
"Young Master Pang, your martial arts skills seem to be very high. You should be the best among all the masters I have ever seen! I know that martial arts masters are divided into nine realms in the martial arts world. You should be a ninth-level master, right?"
"Yes!" Pang Shiwu felt that there was really no need to hide this and answered very happily.
"Well... I have an unwelcome request, but I don't know if I should say it or not."
"You want me to teach you a couple of tricks?"
"Yes, yes, okay?"
"Why do you want to learn martial arts? Is it because there are so many experts in Wenchuan City that you feel pressured?"
"That's right! Wenchuan borders Tubo and is an important border town. In addition to the Han people, there are also many Tibetans living here. It's a mixed crowd and fighting is common. This is a pattern that was formed during the Tang Dynasty. There are several places for trade between the Han and Tibetan people, and Wenchuan is one of the most important hubs and fortresses!"
Pang Shiwu's eyes drifted into the distance, and he said leisurely: "There are all kinds of people, swords flash and blood shadows, the strong prey on the weak, and the winner is respected!"
"Yes! If you don't have some strength, you can't survive here! Almost all big families have bodyguards! My family is no exception! But to be honest, compared with you, my bodyguards are nothing!"
"Don't say that, Master Li. My kung fu is just average. Didn't you see that I couldn't even beat that Panlong Master?"
Young Master Li suddenly laughed: "Young Master Feng, don't look at me as a poor martial artist, but I'm not stupid! That Panlong master's face was so swollen, my wife told me that it was you who beat him!"
"Oh, it was my eldest brother who controlled him first. I just took advantage of him!"
"Young man, don't be so modest! If your martial arts skills were worse than his, you would have been dead with the few hits he made! My vision is not bad, you are clearly using him as a sparring partner!"
Pang Shiwu stopped talking. This Mr. Li is really smart! If they continue talking, what if Master Panlong lets slip that the two sisters-in-law were almost "stripped naked" by Master Panlong?
Silence is gold!
Young Master Li seemed to realize that the other party was not interested in this topic, so he changed the subject.
"Mr. Pang, since you want to go to Wuyou Valley, do you know who the owner of Wuyou Valley is?"
"It seems that his last name is Lin, and his name is Lin...Lin Yuxi, oh yes, it seems that his name is Lin Yuxi!"
"Do you know that there is a master in Wuyou Valley named Li Kailong?"
"Lei Kailong the Thunderspear? I know him! I saw him a few days ago!"
"Have you met him?"
"what happened?"
"Nothing. He is one of the four great priests of Wuyou Valley. He is mainly responsible for the safety of the youngest daughter of the master of Wuyou Valley. He rarely leaves the valley. How could you meet him?"
"Senior Li may not want to leave the valley, but the little girl may want to see the secular world. If the little girl insists on leaving the valley, can he stop her? He can only follow her out of the valley!"
"Oh - that's what happened. That makes sense. Young Master Pang, do you know how to get into the valley?"
"I don't know. Is there any special way to enter the valley? Or do I need to go through many traps to get in?"
"If you want to buy anti-aging cream, you can only draw lots and queue up!"
"Draw lots?"
"Wuyou Valley has specially sent people to guard the entrance of the valley. A lot of bamboo pieces are placed in a bamboo basket with numbers engraved on them, from one to thirty. People who come to buy the cream have to draw bamboo sticks in the order of first come, first served. Everyone who gets a bamboo stick is eligible to queue up to buy the anti-aging cream. Each person is limited to buying ten taels!"
"Thirty bamboo sticks? Does that mean you can only sell thirty pieces a day?"
"Correct!"
"Each person can only buy ten taels at most?"
"Correct!"
“So how many people are actually queuing?”
"You can only go to the scene on the day! Because it is really hard to count how many people there are every day! But what is certain is that at least there are more than 200 people every day! Some people have to queue for five days before they can get the bamboo sticks. This is a common thing!"
"With so many people, are they all just standing there in line? What if someone thinks they have the upper hand and wants to cut in line?"
"Haha, there are people at the entrance of the valley to maintain order! Anyone who tries to bully the weak will be attacked by everyone and will be disqualified from buying! Besides, one ounce of gold for one ounce of cream can turn into two ounces of gold for one ounce of cream after a short transaction! Who can resist money?"
"Fuck! Double the profit from just one resale?"
"Yes!"
Pang Shiwu frowned!
What he was thinking about was not the money-making aspect of reselling the items, but the fact that there were too many people queuing up to buy the items. If they were to queue up, they wouldn’t know when it would take!
Are we going to let my sister-in-law and Chili wait there for days? If we want to end it quickly, we have to enter the valley and see the owner! Then the owner will approve it and sell more to everyone!
Before we knew it, we arrived at the gate of Wenchuan.
Pang Shiwu felt that Young Master Li’s face was a pass!
Because as soon as the city guards saw Master Li’s face, they came over!
The soldiers guarding the city were still the original officers and soldiers of the Great Shu Dynasty, but they had just changed into the military uniforms of the Great Song Dynasty!
When the city guards saw that it was Young Master Li, they immediately let him pass.
"Mr. Li, you're back so late?"
Young Master Li took out a few silver ingots from his sleeves and threw them over, saying with a smile, "I have to go out for a while to bring back the things I left outside. I'll have to trouble you guys to keep the door open for me later!"
The soldier who looked like a sergeant weighed the silver and said with a smile, "You are too polite, young master. If you have anything to say, please let me know!"
Pang Shiwu thought: It is true that face is a pass, but without the heavy silver ingot to back it up, this "face pass" would be worthless immediately! (End of this chapter)
