Chunyang First Headmaster

Chapter 8
In Taiping County, the buildings of the Canglong School are naturally the most magnificent. Different from the low and dilapidated houses not far away, the eaves of the Canglong School alone are more than two feet high. The base is made of bluestone, with white walls and red tiles. Endless grandeur.

Xiao Qianli paced slowly, while praising him, as expected of a sect that has been operating in Taiping County for several years, it really is extraordinary.

He tentatively peeked in through the window opening of the outer wall, but he couldn't see clearly, so he had to turn back to the door again.

Standing at the gate were two servants, their hats tilted, and their waist knives weakly leaning against the gate post, chatting with each other.Xiao Qianli coughed, and the two turned their heads to look at him, but then turned their heads and continued talking, as if they hadn't seen each other.

"You two are invited!"

Finally, a servant raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and waved impatiently: "Where is the poor Taoist? How dare you come to our Canglong Sect to ask for money? Get out, get out!"

In the previous life, Xiao Qianli had seen this kind of doorman who looked down on people so many times, and he was not angry when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Please tell the head of the noble sect, I have something to look for him!"

"What?" The two servants immediately stood up straight, looked at each other, and said vigilantly, "What are you looking for from our altar master?"

"I have something to do with him!" Xiao Qianli continued to say solemnly, "Please ask your altar master to come out!"

"How courageous!" A servant opened his mouth and scolded, "Dog priest, what do you think you are? How dare we let our altar master come out to meet you? Get out of here!"

As he spoke, he raised a sheathed waist knife to threaten, and another servant also shouted loudly.

The sound of horseshoes sounded outside the door, and a rich middle-aged man rushed to the door with two followers, and then he saddled and left the horse. Seeing the commotion in front of the door, he frowned and shouted: "What's going on?"

A servant hurried forward, took the reins graciously, and said with an apologetic smile: "Third Master, I don't know where this poor Taoist priest dared to beat the autumn wind at the gate of our Canglong Sect. We are chasing him away!"

"Taoist?" The man called "Third Master" stopped, looked Xiao Qianli up and down, and gradually smiled.

"Since you are a Taoist priest, how can you be contemptuous?" The man said with a smile, "That Taoist priest, do you want some incense money? It's easy to say, come and listen to the one with a nice voice, and the third master will naturally reward you!"

Xiao Qianli was not angry either, and said with a smile, "May I ask what your name is?"

"Blind your dog eyes!" A follower next to him just got off his horse and pointed at Xiao Qianli's nose and cursed, "In this Taiping County, there are still people who don't know the name of the third master? Listen! Our third master It's Qi Jinglin, the chief steward of the Canglong Sect's Taiping Town sub-altar! If we speak out about our Third Master Qi's abilities, I'm afraid you'll be scared out of your wits!"

"Qi Jinglin?" Xiao Qianli nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "I see, it's really gratifying to see Third Master Qi today."

Hearing this, several people immediately burst out laughing, another follower laughed and said: "This Taoist is really good at talking, meeting our Third Master Qi is really worth celebrating!"

Qi Jinglin chuckled, stretched out his hand to touch his bosom for a while, and suddenly smiled and said: "Taoist, you didn't catch up today, and the third master didn't bring any loose silver today. This reward is considered cheap for you!"

He stretched out his hand, and in the palm of his hand lay a yellow-orange copper plate.

Seeing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Qi Jinglin's face suddenly changed, and he said with a sinister smile, "I hate Taoist priests the most in my life! If you are sensible, get the money and get out, or I won't recognize anyone with this whip!"

"Oh?" Xiao Qianli smiled calmly, "I don't know which fellow Taoist offended Third Master Qi?"

"It's okay to tell you!" Qi Jinglin puffed up his eyes and said viciously, "I fell in love with a girl a few years ago, but unexpectedly, I was hit by her damn father a few times, and one arm hurts for a few days. I can't lift it up—" —Oh, that girl's dead ghost father is a Taoist priest!"

"So that's how it is..." Xiao Qianli walked a few steps slowly with his hands behind his back, then suddenly raised his head, his face was full of sunshine, "That fellow daoist's attack was too light!"

Hearing this, everyone who was still laughing changed their expressions.

Qi Jinglin's expression darkened immediately, he stretched out his hand, pulled out the horsewhip from his waist, and said viciously, "Smelly Taoist priest, do you have the guts to say it again?"

Xiao Qianli didn't change his face, and said with a light smile: "If it's me who makes the move, I'm afraid it would be reasonable to cut off an arm!"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Jinglin couldn't hold back anymore, shouted loudly, and hit Xiao Qianli with a whip.

"stop!"

At this moment of lightning and flint, there was a loud shout from the door.Qi Jinglin's whip brushed across Xiao Qianli's forehead, it was dangerous and dangerous.

Seeing the person coming, Qi Jinglin immediately rushed forward with joy on his face, and said with a smile, "Master, why did you come out in person? I want to teach the young master to know that today our caravan..."

"What are you doing here?" Hua Ziyu interrupted Qi Jinglin, strode out the door with his hands behind his back, saw Xiao Qianli who was surrounded by a crowd, and couldn't help but his complexion darkened, and he turned around and asked, "Qi San, Say it!"

Qi Jinglin laughed and said, "Young master doesn't know something, and I don't know where a poor Taoist priest came to stop us at the gate and ask for money! I think he is rude, and I plan to teach him a lesson..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Hua Ziyu slapped him heavily on the face, making him turn around twice on the spot, the corners of his mouth were bloody, and his cheeks were suddenly red and swollen.

"Young Master?" Qi Jinglin clutched his cheeks, completely dazed by the beating, and looked up in disbelief after a while, but what he saw was Hua Ziyu's gloomy face that was about to drip.

Before the rest of the servants could react, Hua Ziyu had already walked forward quickly, with a face that seemed to squeeze a smile from his flesh, and cupped his hands and said: "I don't know... I don't know that Master Chunyang is here... these junior disciples I am ignorant, I hope Haihan will forgive me!"

"It's easy to say!" Xiao Qianli waved his sleeves, dissipated the Xuanbing Zhenqi contained in his right hand as if nothing had happened, and said with a light smile, "If this whip is for real, I'm afraid that the Huatan will host a feast of flowing water and put it on the table. Three days and three nights to celebrate!"

Hua Ziyu's face turned blue and white, white and blue again, it took a while before he smiled and said: "Master Xiao's martial arts are astonishing, how can these juniors compare to them?"

A few days ago, Gao Jin and other four people went up to the mountain to gamble, but nothing was found. The Canglong faction spent a lot of manpower and material resources to finally find a few corpses that had been smashed into meat paste.Although the Canglong Sect has a great family and a great career, there are not many masters in the sub-area. The death of four people at the same time is tantamount to breaking the backbone of the sub-area.Seeing Xiao Qianli approaching at this moment, Hua Ziyu was naturally startled and frightened.

Xiao Qianli chuckled, gave a daoist salute, and said with a smile: "If you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall. Today, I came to the door. I made a special trip to send a letter of worship to the Huatan Master."

"A greeting card?" Hua Ziyuxin said that you sent me a greeting card for no reason, presumably it was a night owl who came to the house for nothing, so he reached out to take the card, glanced at it in a hurry, and immediately felt much more at ease.

"So that's how it is!" Hua Ziyu laughed, "Since it's the grand ceremony of the establishment of the mountain gate of your sect, then Hua will naturally send someone to go..."

"The master of Huatan really speaks quickly!" Xiao Qianli said with a smile, "However, the construction of this sect really costs money everywhere, and the master of the altar should be aware of it. Now the Canglong sect is thriving, presumably because of the abundant resources Enter……"

Hua Ziyu gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart when she heard the words. After a while, she nodded her head heavily, and said with a smile: "What is Master Xiao talking about? Come here! Give the master 500 taels of silver!"

"Okay!" Xiao Qianli immediately looked solemn and praised, "As expected of the Canglong Sect's Huatan Master, he is indeed so heroic! I have a small matter, and I am about to ask the Huatan Master to assist..."

"Come again? 500 taels of silver can't fill this big mouth?" Hua Ziyu's eyes widened, her breath was stuffed in her chest, and she couldn't vomit it out for a long time.

As the saying goes, if you use the tiger's skin as a banner, if you don't squeeze Hua Ziyu dry, how can Xiao Qianli let it go so easily?He chuckled lightly and said, "Inviting local dignitaries and dignitaries to the grand ceremony of setting up the Shanmen in Chunyang Palace is indispensable. It's just that I haven't gotten to know other dignitaries in this county except the Canglong Sect..."

The muscles on Hua Ziyu's face were gradually convulsed, and he forced a smile and said: "This matter is not difficult, I will send one or two disciples to accompany Master Xiao to identify the way!"

He glanced left and right, his eyes fell on Qi Jinglin, and his heart suddenly became angry: If it weren't for you bastard old boy yelling, how could this young master come out to check?How could he be so humiliated?If you hadn't shouted and shouted to kill, how could I have given away 500 taels of silver in one go?
After making up his mind, Hua Ziyu snorted coldly: "Qi San, you know everyone locally, so you can go with the head teacher!"

After Qi San was slapped, he had been standing aside stupidly, seeing that even Hua Ziyu, the majestic altar master of the Canglong School in Taiping County, was respectful in front of the young Taoist, he was already shocked out of his wits Halfway through.He was just crying secretly in his heart, but at this time Hua Ziyu called out, so he had to walk over tremblingly, cupped his hands and said, "I... obey!"

Hua Ziyu suppressed his unhappiness, forced a smile and said, "I don't know what Master Xiao thinks?"

Xiao Qianli smiled slightly, and said: "The Master Huatan is really too polite, since this is the case, I will accept this favor."

Hua Ziyu repeatedly apologized, and kindly ordered Qi Guan to come over, and explained something in a low voice. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he lowered his voice and said: "Qi San, you will go to each house to send greeting cards in a while, and show some prestige. For 500 taels of silver, those big merchants and even officials can’t pay much less than this figure, do you understand?”

Seeing that the steward was unclear, Hua Ziyu's face sank, and he ordered: "Follow my instructions honestly, do you hear me?"

After being yelled at by the altar master, Qi Jinglin immediately obeyed, came to Xiao Qianli with a mournful face, bowed and saluted, "Master, let's... let's go now?"

Xiao Qianli also ignored Hua Ziyu's orders, and smiled lightly at the moment: "Third Lord Lao Qi is here!"

Hearing Xiao Qianli's eloquent address, Qi Jinglin immediately shortened his body by half, and said submissively: "Don't dare...don't dare, the head teacher can just call me Qi San..."

Watching the two of them leave, Hua Ziyu's face suddenly turned livid, and he snorted coldly: "Boy, let's allow you to be crazy for a few days, I want to see how your Chunyang Palace can gain a foothold in Taiping County!"

He tore up the letter of worship a few times, then hurried back to the study room, ordered his servants to grind ink, thought for a while, and then wrote a letter, explaining how domineering and domineering the Chunyang Palace is, and the Canglong School is from the same line of martial arts, I don't want to create more disputes, and in order to calm things down, I have to send my subordinates to accompany me to the meeting. It is really difficult.He also ordered people to copy more than ten letters, stamped them, sealed the letter with wax paint, and ordered: "You send people to follow Qi San, no matter which house they go to, you send people to send the letter to It is in the hands of the head of that family."

Immediately, several people took orders to leave, Hua Tianfeng grinned grinningly and said to himself: "Hurry up, hurry up. When the masters of the faction arrive, the day of your Shanmen Grand Ceremony will be the time when your reputation of Chunyang Palace will be ruined! At that time, I will ask you not to live, not to die!"
