[023] Jianghu chess game
The skinny Yun Zhongxi coughed lightly and said to Shen You: "To be honest, if we go back to the source, we craftsmen who travel around the world owe you a thousand dollars..."
Shen You knew that this was just the initial greeting, and the next words were the most important. Sure enough, after a few words of greeting, Yun Zhongxi changed the subject and got to the point.
"As the saying goes, once you enter the world of martial arts, time will pass. In the blink of an eye, my little old man will be buried up to his neck in loess. I might as well one day close my eyes, kick my legs and go see my ancestor. However, some things in the world of martial arts still have to be passed down. Go on, I have lived a few years longer than everyone here, and everyone is giving me a favor, so let’s not talk in the meantime, just think that the old man wants to talk, to relieve his boredom, and just have fun."
When Shen You and others heard this, they didn't realize that this Yun Zhongxi had other abilities. He was quite capable of relying on his elders and selling off his elders. But in front of so many people, since he said what he said, as a guest, he would naturally not refute it. The face of the master.
"It has always been said in the world that some things are passed down from generation to generation. No one can say for sure what these things are. Some say they are gold and silver jewelry, some say they are emeralds, some say they are the way to govern the country, and some say they are... The complete collection of martial arts, and it is also said that this place has thousands of years of old ginseng, Shouwu and other medicinal materials. Anyway, for men, except for women, there are basically everything else that can interest them."
It was rare that Lao Yun Zhongxi also had a sense of humor. Along with the uncontrollable laughter of other craftsmen, Shen You and the others just smiled politely.
After all, Yun Zhongxi had been making connections since the moment he came in, and finally said the Qianzi command. Although they didn't point it out clearly, they both knew it well, and the vigilance in their hearts could not be overcome with just a few words. .
"However, everyone also knows that our ancestors have been here for generations, and there are people who have gone through all the hardships and spent their entire lives without any results. And everyone also knows that times have changed, and I think you can see the current situation. In the eyes of the public, it can be said that the living space for those of us who run around in the world is getting smaller and smaller."
When he said this, not only the few sitting below him, but also Shen You and Bai Qianqian didn't look very good-looking. After all, Chen Qiushi and Su Qingqian didn't know much about Jianghu. Baiqian felt the deepest, and Shen You because I have experienced a lot in my heart over the past few years.
Although Yun Zhongxi's sighing voice next to his ears was low, every word came to Shen You's ears very clearly.
"I'm not bragging about promotion for a hundred years. Every one of you here is a famous person under the bridge. In those days, if you didn't have two brushes and no hard goods, who would buy your account? But now, to put it bluntly, my current status in the world was given to me by everyone. Everyone still has a seniority in the world, but my skills have been passed down to my disciples, and less than 10% of them have been left. 40%, but this does not prevent you from adapting to society, and you can have food, and eat well."
Although Yun Zhongxi's words were explanatory, there was also some emotion. After all, his disciple is now the vice president of the Forty-Nine City Folklore Memorial Association. A hundred years ago, he would have been unable to make a living even on the overpass, but now he is not. It hinders both fame and fortune. If it were a hundred years later, I would be able to go abroad with this skill!
After sighing, Yun Zhongxi naturally returned to the topic. Then he said: "What I mean is, that thing has lost its value and meaning by now, just like an old guy like me, I want to If he is not respected by his fellow Jianghu friends, I am afraid he will be forced to beg for food."
Seeing Yun Zhongxi going around in circles but not clearly expressing his inner thoughts, Shen You was not willing to listen to him talking in circles anymore, and immediately asked directly: "Mr. Yun, if anything happens, please tell me the truth. I am a junior. , just do what you can do, and leave aside what you can’t do..."
"Okay, okay, your ambition is not as good as your age. What I mean is that everyone should take care of their own affairs and maintain the current situation. If there are any fragments leaked out, since everyone has come together, we can also choose one Isn’t it popular now for the stewards to form associations? The jade pieces are given to the stewards of the association and passed down from generation to generation.”
I originally thought there would be something new, but I didn't expect that Rao Laopao's purpose of going to Yun Zhongxi was actually very simple and naked. To put it bluntly, it was to receive the jade piece into their hands.
Shen You couldn't speak at this time, so he smiled and said to Yun Zhongxi with his yellow teeth: "I say Mr. Yun, at your age, you are suitable for drinking tea, or raising fish and flowers. If you like to be more lively, just walk your dog and play with the eagle. Besides, you are also a serious craftsman, so don’t steal people’s jobs. The food is not that delicious, so how can you say that you can change it? Change it!”
Everyone was furious after hearing this. Although Bai Qianqian didn't explicitly curse anyone, he was very directly slapped in the face throughout the whole article. Yun Zhongxi's father learned the skills of Yun Lifei and Wang Xiaobian'er, both of whom were He is considered to be a member of the martial arts world, and what he is talking about is a literary job similar to that of his ancestor Cao Laowen, who relied on telling jokes to people to count the treasures.
Obviously, Bai Qian said that Yun Zhongxi's food is not that delicious. Even though he is a craftsman, he can't just change his career just because he wants to. What Yun Zhongxi just said is nothing like the masters of Tianqiao storytellers or singers. the difference.
The people like Wang Xiaosha and Jin Ye are all relying on several big forces in Sijiu City. Yun Zhongxi is the talker selected by all the unsupported Jianghu craftsmen. After hearing what Bai Qianqian said, Shitou took the lead. He opened his mouth and retorted: "I wonder what this uncle eats?"
Bai Qianqian looked up and knew that this was Mr. Shen's descendant. He immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Shen is a wrestling king of the generation. He studied under the famous Mr. Yuan Ba. In addition to wrestling, he also practiced good artillery boxing, especially Defeating the old strongman Megalov, wrestling for seven consecutive days without losing a single match, and being a "thin-armed wrestler" that can be said to be invincible in the wrestling world from north to south. These are all famous events, but I am just a nobody, eating steamed buns. It doesn’t matter if you eat rice, dried sweet potatoes or cornmeal. Anyway, I’m just talking about the matter. If what I say is right, I applaud. If what I say is wrong, I’m sorry and I won’t listen to you even if you give me money.”
Shitou was stunned after hearing this. Bai Qian had always kept a low profile, and he had never been face-to-face with Bai Qian. Seeing that Bai Qian was right about his inheritance, he asked people about their origins. After being defeated by an army, he immediately paused to cover up his voice and continued to Bai Qian: "Those under Qianmen, I wonder which card my friend is holding?"
This sentence is a bit too much to ask. After all, each sect or gang will have its own arrangement, and the people you know are all exposed. And those who don't want to be exposed, if you want to know, you can only check it yourself. , this can be said to be a very disrespectful behavior to ask in person.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Shen You coughed lightly and said to Yun Zhongxi: "Old man, if there is nothing else, Shen You will leave first..."
"Hey, Master Shen, sit down for a moment. If I guess correctly, this person should be a friend from the Jianghu Baixiaoshengshuo sect, right?"
"The old man has good eyesight!" Bai Qianqian said to Yun Zhongxi who narrowed his eyes into thin lines and couldn't help but look at him.
"Turns out he is a friend of the Shu sect! After thousands of years, the Shu sect has always been an upright existence in our world, especially the sage Bai Xiaosheng, and that is even more so in the north and south of the world, whether it is in Mobei or Jiangnan outside the Great Wall. There is nothing in the wilderness that he does not know..."
Listening to Yun Zhongxi uncovering the truth behind the story, Shitou hurriedly spoke.
"Don't dare, don't dare. Our small family can't compare to you, like this Mr. Yao Jin. When Mr. Sun started the uprising, many of the liaison affairs, big and small, during the Revolution of 1911 were done by the founder, Mr. Cheng, right? There is this Brother Jiaolong. When rickshaws were running in the streets and alleys of Jinmen, Shencheng, Sijiucheng and several big cities in central Hubei, there were many Japanese people on them, right? Even yours Mr. Shen’s inheritance was also received by Commander Fu, wasn’t it?”
Seeing Bai Qian speak out his family treasures one by one, and the momentum of the scene becoming more and more unfavorable to his side, Yun Zhongxi immediately interrupted: "Brother Bai, let's not talk about anything else. Master Shen is here. The main card, but people have also said that if there is an old man in the family, it is like having a treasure. I would like to ask, what do you mean by that matter?"
"Whatever Master Shen means, that's what I mean!" Although Bai Qianqian looked carefree on weekdays, when it came to formal occasions, his title did not go beyond Shen You's.
"Okay, in that case, Master Shen also wants to say something clear. I said what I mean, and you say what you mean. Let's talk to each other and share what we have. Only by communicating can we have business. Do it!”
"There are small traders and hawkers in the business, and they are not run by us Jianghu people! The old man has drawn the road, but Shen You doesn't accept it. So tell me, what are the consequences?"
"Consequences? What consequences can there be! My old man is buried up to his neck with dirt. Things in the world have long been out of the question. Look at these people, you have to ask them!" Yun Zhongxi squinted his eyes and looked away. He skimmed the tea foam in the teacup, took a sip of tea and continued.
Shen You shook his head slightly and said, "In this case, the old man can't just sit back and watch?"
"I have told you a long time ago that once you enter the arena, time will pass. Now I will tell you again, once you enter the arena, you can't help yourself. Don't miss it now when you can make your own decisions. If you regret it and want to cry, you will have no place to cry! "
"Thousands of Gates, not Thousands of Gates that anyone can control!" Shen You stood up and shook his head at hundreds of them, and walked out without looking back. He didn't care about everyone behind him who was already stunned!
"In this case, starting tonight, all the old craftsmen in Sijiu City will have to pay a visit to Master Shen!"
"good!"
Chapter completed!
