Real Cthulhu Running Game - Chapter 1808
Chapter 1808 Talent worth five hundred taels
In all dynasties, horses are not affordable for ordinary people, because even a horse that is used to pull a cart is not cheap, not to mention that the horse needs to eat a lot of forage every day! The most important thing is that in many cases, a horse can pull more things than a donkey and a mule, but it is far inferior in other aspects, so most ordinary people choose to keep a donkey or a mule at home, which can already satisfy them. daily needs.
As for those high-quality riding horses, the price has skyrocketed several times, because most of the riding horses were given priority to the cavalry, so when many dynasties were first established, most of the civil and military officials rode on ox carts. Go to the morning.
In this world of martial arts mods, it is even more difficult to find a BMW, because these days, everyone who is a little famous in the world will start to prepare a three-piece set of heroes for themselves – a magic weapon, a treasure armor and a good horse.
Of course, most of the people in the arena who are not very well-off are biting their teeth and buying a weapon made by a famous master. The defense is not bad. The most important thing is that they can wear soft armor or cloth armor that does not affect their demeanor. There is not much budget left for the good horse. After all, the first two are related to the life of the family, and this good horse is used to fill the front.
Isn’t that good horse important? Of course not! Because if you are active locally, everyone will know your details, so they will call you a hero, but if you go on a business trip to a place you don’t know well, then if you don’t have a good horse with you, others won’t take you with you. You are regarded as a hero, and you may even think that you are an ordinary person who is a cos hero.
That’s right, in this martial arts module, because the Heavenly Dao Sect supported the new Dragon Emperor back then, the martial arts practitioners in the Silver Dragon Empire are now subject to certain restrictions, but their social status is still very high. , so ordinary people are eager to join various martial arts and become heroes! However, due to the limitations of the door plate, most people can’t even be a temporary disciple. . . As a result, some people began to cosplay into a hero in order to satisfy their dreams and gain the envy of others, that is, to get a good-looking dress and buy a fake sword that looks good but is actually made of wood. at the waist.
So if you want to show that you are a hero in front of outsiders, the best way is to ride a tall horse to go out.
However, such a horse is very valuable, so many horse farms have launched horse-sharing and horse loan services for some well-reputed disciples. You can choose to rent a horse when you go away, or you can Ask Zongmen Reid’s well-respected senior to vouch for yourself, so that you can buy a good horse in installments! The most important thing is that if you want to go a step further in the future, if you want to get a better horse, you can also trade in the old horse for a new one, or rent the old horse to the stable.
One thing to say, when recalling these memories, Liu Xing can only say that the world of this martial arts mod is too real, and even the middle-class traps of the martial arts version have emerged.
“Three horses, they should all be good horses listening to the sound of hoofs.”
Ding Kun said seriously: “I used to go to one of my uncle’s house to play, and he kept several horses, so I also have some research on the sound of hooves.”
Sure enough, within a few seconds, three horses rushed into the ruined temple, because the main entrance of this ruined temple had long since been known to be used to chop wood and burn it.
Seeing someone in the ruined temple, the three middle-aged men on the horses all rolled over and dismounted, nodded towards Liu Xing and the others, grabbed a package from the horse and ran to the side to change clothes.
“These three horses all look pretty good, at least better than the ones from my uncle’s house, and the three middle-aged men also look like heroes, but they don’t seem to carry them with them. weapon?”
Ding Kun put down the bow and arrow in his hand and continued: “They don’t look like bad people, so we don’t need to worry too much.”
“Yeah, but it’s important to be defensive. Although they don’t seem to be a threat to us, we can’t guarantee that these people are not good-tempered. As for these people not carrying weapons, it is also possible that the sect where they are located is good at grasping with legs and feet, so there is no need to carry swords and sticks.” Yin En said with a frown.
At this moment, the three of them had also changed their clothes, and hugged some hay and wooden boards that they didn’t know where they came from.
“Brothers, we want to make a fire to warm up, shouldn’t you mind?”
A man who looked very kind said: “It’s getting dark now, and it’s not easy to travel with such a heavy rain, so it’s time to light a bonfire.”
Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: “Yes, if you don’t come, we are already preparing to light a bonfire for the night. After all, there may be some snakes, worms, rats and ants in this broken temple, so we won’t light a bonfire. If we do, maybe something will crawl on us in the middle of the night.”
Liu Xing took out a fire stick from his pocket while talking, and quickly ignited the bonfire in front of him.
The three people on the other side relaxed a little when they saw that Liu Xing was so good at talking.
“My name is Zhang Ran, these two are my junior brothers, Zhang Xin and Zhang Yu, this time they are going to Heshan County to do some business, so I think you are dressed and brought with you, it should be this Heshan. Locals from the county? After all, there is no village in front of the broken temple, and no store in the back. If it is a passerby, it is impossible not to bring a package, so you should be going somewhere nearby today, and finally stayed here because of the heavy rain. ?”
Liu Xing looked at Zhang Ran in surprise, because he didn’t expect him to analyze so many things in such a short time.
But the most important thing is that Zhang Ran has mentioned that the remaining two are his juniors, which means that they are indeed martial arts practitioners.
Just when Liu Xing was about to speak, Zhang Jingxu suddenly said: “Well, eldest brothers, you should be from Boyang Zhangjiamen, right? I remember that there is a Zhangjiamen in Boyang City that only accepts Zhang’s disciples, and you are also from Boyang Zhangjiamen. It’s from the direction of Yangcheng! And Zhangjiamen teaches boxing and kicking, so you didn’t bring your weapons to go out?”
Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Jingxu in surprise, nodded and said, “Little brother, you still know our Zhang family? You must know that even the locals in Boyang City for decades may not know us! Because just like little brother you As I said, after our master decided to admit only people with the surname Zhang as apprentices, this sect began to be inferior to one generation, and now we have no more than two disciples in this generation! And recruited disciples.”
Zhang Jingxu smiled, pointed to himself and said, “Actually, my surname is Zhang too, so my master made a joke with me before, saying that if I hadn’t been spotted by him in advance, maybe I could join Zhang’s where the big brothers are. Where’s the door?”
“Oh, so that’s the case, it’s really a pleasure to meet, so which school are you from, little brother?” Zhang Yu asked.
At this moment, Zhang Jingxu instantly filled up his acting skills and said with a sad expression: “I think the three Big Brother Zhangs should still remember that near your sect, there is a sect that has become history, right? That’s right. , I was the only outer disciple who escaped the catastrophe back then.”
Hearing Zhang Jingxu say this, Zhang Ran and the three all sighed in unison.
“I didn’t expect to meet the only successor of Tianfuzong here… If nothing else, your master and I should still be good friends, because our two families also communicated when they were separated. , so the relationship in private is also good. If you have nothing to do, let’s go around the city and go shopping together…Ahem, if I’m not wrong, my master should be called Ye Feng, right? He once had a relationship with him. When I was drinking, I said that he found a good seedling in Heshan County, and this good seedling was surnamed Zhang, so I asked us to give him five hundred taels of silver, so that he would take this good seedling Let us.” Zhang Yu said with a smile.
Zhang Yu’s remarks made Liu Xing a little powerless to complain, because as a person who has read novels for more than ten years at a certain point, Liu Xing remembered that “Ye Feng” should be the most common protagonist name in early online novels, and it would be bad. Will be an important supporting role, so after reading a few books, you can meet a “Ye Feng”.
It’s a pity that Zhang Jingxu’s master doesn’t have the name of the protagonist, and it’s gone even if it doesn’t start.
In addition, the five hundred taels of silver is not a small sum, because the “Liu Peng” family can save about one hundred taels in a year. You must know that the business of this pharmacy was very profitable even in ancient times.
“Ah, I didn’t expect you to know my master! That’s right, my master is Ye Feng, the tall and thin Ye Feng.” Zhang Jingxu nodded quickly and said.
Zhang Ran and the three sighed again when they heard Zhang Jingxu say this.
“Oh, if we didn’t listen to the movement back then and waited until Tianfuzong caught fire and found out that it was not good, then it is possible to save your master, because when we ran over to help, in fact, your master still had such a breath. It’s a pity that your master can’t just say three words, so we also have the intention to take revenge for your master and for Tianfuzong, but we really can’t find who the enemy is! And to be honest, you Tianfuzong The enemy they provoked is also a group of ruthless people, before they set fire to those accomplices who were injured and could not escape, they even disfigured them with sulfuric acid.”
Zhang Ran sighed again and continued: “So after we checked, we found that these **** may be from the seaside, because their skin is rough and dark, and there are bright spots on their palms. There is a thick layer of scabs, and it seems that they have not pulled fishing nets less before! The most important thing is that these people also left some weapons, among which there are harpoons and darts with strings, which are commonly used fishing tools by seaside people. .”
Liu Xing frowned again, because Liu Xing still remembered that when he was in the Heshan County module, he heard that the prince who controlled this area was related to a sect by the sea, so the demise of Fuzong this day was also related to this Faction related?
Thinking of this, Liu Xing quickly gave Zhang Jingxu a wink, and Zhang Jingxu also said: “I think the three characters my master mentioned should refer to a way of writing numbers in Tianzhu, because my master once I have a very good relationship with a businessman from Tianzhu, so I also know some things about Tianzhu.”
While talking, Zhang Jingxu picked up a stick and wrote a “3” on the ground.
“You’re talking about Apala, the quality of the spices that guy sells is really good, but this person is too fond of petty and cheap, but he is quite generous when it comes to things, such as your Tianfuzong after an accident, Ah Palla paid a sum of money to solve the problems of your master and others, and he still goes to worship your master with us every year! But this year, Appala is in poor health, so he is packing up and preparing to go back to his hometown. , After all, fallen leaves must return to their roots.”
Having said this, Liu Xing noticed that Zhang Ran and others’ eyes were a little wet, and it seemed that their relationship with Tian Fuzong was really good.
“Is there such a thing? Then I want to get rid of Uncle Zhang. After you go back, if this Uncle Appala hasn’t returned to Tianzhu, then thank him for me.”
Zhang Jingxu did not hesitate to start a relationship, and directly changed the title of “Brother Zhang” to “Uncle Zhang”.
“No problem, we were going to hold a practice banquet for Apala when we went back this time. If you have time, you can go back with us! And if you want, you can join our Zhang Family directly! Although Our Zhang family is not well-known now, but we still have real talents and real learning, and if you can find the enemy family, we can justifiably seek revenge for you!”
At this time, Liu Xing found that the expressions of Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingxu had become a little strange.
Of course, Liu Xing can actually understand the thoughts of Zhang Ran and the others, because they have mentioned before that they have not accepted apprentices yet! You must know that in a sect, the number and quality of the disciples represent the master’s status and strength among the brothers and sisters of the same generation.
What’s more, in this world of martial arts mods, small sects like Zhangjiamen only have one official student quota every year, so who should this opportunity to accept apprentices be given? First, it depends on those outside disciples who are more talented, and secondly. It just depends on who are the apprentices of these outer disciples with similar talents.
Therefore, unless it is those masters who are indisputable in the world, everyone else must want their outer disciples to be able to turn positive.
Therefore, as Zhang Ran and the three of them are good friends of Master Zhang Jingxu, they should also know how talented Zhang Jingxu, who was about to become an official disciple, was!
This is the talent of five hundred taels of silver!
