Transmigration with Cheat Codes - Chapter 41

[41. Chapter 41]

There is a vendor outside the fort selling a “list of masters” – every time when Lord Nan Lao fort celebrates his birthday, people from all walks of life will come to support him. For young people who want to become apprentices but lack the connections, this is a very good idea. Opportunity.

Vendors in the market show their talents and work hard to collect information about visitors, compile it into a list, and then sell this list to those who need it. To be on the safe side, they don’t just go up to sell people when they see them, but make judgments first. Only when you feel it is reliable will you make a deal.

Wang Youhuai and Chen Shen almost missed this list, but were reminded by Wan Wangde who was passing by.

Wan Wangde is the manager of Wanbao Tower in Yezhou. He has always been interested in making good friends with fellow Jianghu people. When he saw Chen Shen and his two men looked like they had little experience in Jianghu, he gave a few reminders on how to obtain information. According to the description of the game, it was considered A leading NPC.

Chen Shen cupped his hands and said, “Thank you so much, Brother Wan.”

Wan Wangde smiled: “Why don’t you see Senior Sister Ling?”

Chen Shen also laughed: “Senior sister has always been calm, how could she let us act like crazy?”

Wan Wangde had actually seen Meng Jintang from a distance. This girl wore a curtain hat and a thick fur coat. She didn’t look like a ferocious martial arts person from side to side, so she could only find friendship with her junior brother.

He talked to Chen Shen, and he also wanted to find out some information. Regarding the question of why he didn’t go out for a stroll with his senior sister, Chen Shen avoided the casual answer of “I was tired from traveling all the way, so I stayed in the room to rest.” The general comment was probably related to the physical fitness of the relevant personnel, and the understatement made Wan Wangde believe that the girl was really in poor health.

When they met for the first time, Wan Wangde didn’t want to inquire deeply, so he chatted with Chen Shen about the gossip of the guests.

The person listed at the top of the list is Jin Wangsun, the leader of the Golden Whip Society. Of course, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to become his disciples. The value of his existence on the list mainly lies in symbolic meaning and does not have much practicality. .

Along with Jin Wangsun, there is a certain disciple of Qing Mo Palace. There is a small note on the side. The other party is from Yi people. The specific name is unknown. It is suspected that he is the young master of Qing Mo Palace of this generation. Although he has a high status, he is young and has not yet reached the age of acceptance. As a disciple, and as a rule, Green Moth Palace does not accept people from the Central Plains as disciples, plus they are good at using poisons, it is recommended that young people who are interested in entering the martial arts world choose to avoid it, followed by Wanbaolou Wanwangde and Qixingguan Zuo Lingqiu. , these two are both young and talented people, but because they are not old, they are not yet old enough to accept apprentices. I suggest friends in the world who want to try their luck to try from a different angle. If there is a chance, the success rate of recruiting people to become apprentices is better than becoming apprentices. Much larger.

As for the visitors from other factions, there are disciples from the Lu family of Danzhou Lewu Villa and the Li family of Jinxiu Villa. However, the ones who came this year are all children with foreign surnames, so they are of little use. They can probably just run errands and send messages on weekdays. I want to brag. You can go to them if you want, but please think twice before you become a serious apprentice.

Chen Shen carefully read the notes on the list: “…”

Does the person who writes the list want people to succeed in becoming a disciple, or is it to persuade people not to become a disciple?

As for Baiyunju and Jinghua Temple, the old rules are still the same. Letters are not delivered to everyone. As for those letters, they probably contain standard greetings written in batches and sent on demand.

There are people coming from the Tang Sect, but rather than coming here specially, it’s more like they just happened to come over to join in the fun. Anyway, with the reputation of the Tang family, you won’t be able to get into the guest room wherever you go. There is also Mr. Tai, the head of the Yum Sect. Feng Langjun, Feng Shang, Hunjiang Chong Hu Youzhi and others are all old friends of Nanjiabao. As for the Soul Reaver You family, they come to attend the birthday banquet every year because they are the maternal family of the Second Young Master Nan.

At the end of the list, there is an extra mention. For those who are interested in saving lives and healing the wounded, they are lucky this year. The miracle doctor Chang Jiu happened to come to Yongji City. Since it happened to be the right time, he also came to celebrate the birthday of the Lord of Nan Lao Fort. .

Most of the guests just arrived today. Thanks to Tuo Nan Er, Chen Shen had already met quite a few of the important people on the list when he was at the door.

Wan Wangde suddenly frowned: “There aren’t too many visitors this year.” After thinking about it, he added, “It should be that the Lord of the South Castle has been practicing in seclusion these days, and friends on the Jianghu Road don’t want to disturb him.”

Chen Shen took a guess and felt that what the other party meant was that the master of the Guanjia Fort usually didn’t have much contact with fellow martial arts practitioners, so naturally others were too lazy to come over to support him.

Wan Wangde added: “But it’s no wonder that it’s not that easy for Jianghu people to gain a foothold in the Jianghu. Every three years, a martial arts competition is held in Nanjia Fort. The old fort master once said that if someone can fight The heir of Nanjia Fort is willing to give half of his family wealth as a gift. The master of Nanjia Fort needs to maintain his reputation, so he should practice more diligently.” He smiled and said, “This year happens to be the number of three. If Brother Chen wants to become famous, this It’s also a good opportunity.”

All the utensils in the yard were fully prepared. Meng Jintang, who was boiling water, thought that if she had known this, she would not have packed up the stove in the sect when she went out. What’s the weight, but the number of parcel compartments is quite limited.

——In order to find a reasonable excuse for the sudden appearance of a large number of items, Meng Jintang brought a box with him before setting off, saying that it was used to store luggage.

Meng Jintang made some simple arrangements. He hung the new fur clothes he brought on the shelf and put a change of clothes in the cabinet. He tried the pillow and found it was a little short. He stuffed a copy of Hanshan School under it, which is the only one in the world. The semicolon-free secret book “The Eagle Takes Off”.

——After months of idleness, she finally found a suitable place for this book to shine.

The cold wind blew in through the cracks in the window. Meng Jintang wrapped her coat tightly and waved her hands gently, and the charcoal in the smoker lit up with a red glow.

At this moment, if someone passes by the door, they may hear waves of low and suppressed coughs in the courtyard.

Meng Jintang was leaning against the smoker. Her fur coat was blue, her skirt was blue, and even the handkerchief she used to cover her mouth was blue.

The firelight shone on her face, bringing out a hint of red, and when the coughing stopped, the handkerchief also showed a hint of red.

The red on the handkerchief is dark red, and the red on the face is miserable red.

Meng Jintang slowly poured herself a cup of clear dew soup. The clear dew soup was hot when she first entered her mouth, and was lukewarm when she swallowed it. When it reached her stomach, it had already become cold. After drinking one cup, her face felt like frost. The paleness was slightly soothed.

People were coming and going outside, it was so lively that it was almost noisy, and many conversations could be heard in his ears – with Meng Jintang’s internal strength at the moment, as long as he didn’t focus on his Dantian, he could even hear the soft sound of a drop of water rolling down on a leaf.

It was getting late, and the servants from Nanjiabao came to invite Meng Jintang to dinner. As soon as they entered the door, they quickly lowered their heads – a man who had been wearing a curtain hat suddenly took it off. Either he thought it didn’t matter whether he wore it or not, or he planned to put it on. The innocent passerby who saw this scene was silent. Considering that the consequences of the second possibility would be too serious, the passerby decided to keep his eyes firmly glued to the toes of his shoes.

In fact, Meng Jintang didn’t value the confidentiality of her appearance, and she didn’t mind being discovered about her frailty. She heard about the martial arts guild in the conversations between passers-by, and decided to find a suitable time to take action. Just as Haoyue was now, she No one cares about Yinghuo. As long as others remember her strength more clearly, how can they care about whether she coughs often?

The servant of Nanjiabao lowered his head and said: “The master of the castle is still in retreat today. Guests can go to the hall to dine, or they can dine by themselves in the house.” He then asked, “Do you want a servant to pass the dishes to the girl?”

Meng Jintang shook his head and said with a smile: “No need to bother. If the guests are hungry, they will naturally inform the landlord.”

——In the world of martial arts, internal strength is worthy of being an all-round powerful amplifier. Since reaching the fifth level of “Xuanxu Kung”, her need for food has been greatly reduced.

The servant expressed his understanding and quickly ran away before the master in front of him showed any signs of wanting to silence him. After a quarter of an hour, Chen Shen, who had been out strolling with Wang Youhuai, returned and presented the list of martial arts masters he had obtained to his senior sister.

Meng Jintang nodded, indicating that he understood, and left his junior brother to drink a cup of tea before leaving.

Maybe because the darker the moon and the higher the wind, the more suitable it is for fighting and doing chivalry. Jianghu people generally go to bed much later than ordinary people. Under special circumstances, such as when meditating and practicing, they stay up all night. As usual, at the beginning of Xu, which was just after seven o’clock in modern times, Wan Wangde knocked on Meng Jintang’s courtyard door.

Wan Wangde originally just had the idea of building a good relationship with a disciple of a mysterious sect, chatting for a few words and becoming familiar with him, but as soon as he came in, he smelled the strong fragrance of medicine.

Meng Jintang leaned forward and said, “Shopkeeper Xiao Wan.”

Wan Wangde bowed his head and said, “Ms. Meng.” In fact, the two of them had just met not long ago, so they shouldn’t have directly inquired into private matters, but the scent of medicine in the room was too obvious. If he pretended not to notice it, it would appear that he had some agenda, and he was just concerned about it. He said, “The weather is cold now, and Miss Meng is running all the way, so she has to take care of herself.”

Meng Jintang weighed the impact of the two statements of “having had some kind of frailty debuff since childhood” and “traveling all day to catch up with illness” on his image as a martial arts master, and said with a smile: “It has nothing to do with rushing, it’s just an old habit.”

Wan Wangde pondered the meaning of the girl in front of him and suggested: “I heard that Dr. Chang Jiuzhui, the miracle doctor, is also staying in Nanjiabao. Since the girl is not feeling well, why not invite him over to have a look.”

Chen Shen heard this and asked, “What do you think, senior sister?”

Meng Jintang said nonchalantly: “Junior brother, if you are free, please make a trip for me and ask the old man what he means.”

Chen Shen took the order and left, and Wan Wangde also went out with him. It didn’t matter whether he helped or not, the main thing was to join in the fun. After a cup of tea, he brought back what the old man meant –

Wan Wangde thought about it, coughed twice, and modified “Only for people to come to me, what little brat dares to call me over and say no cure without curing me?” became: “Most miracle doctors have bad tempers. eccentric……”

Meng Jintang, who felt that he should be able to barely meet the minimum standard of a miracle doctor, couldn’t help but smile: “That’s not necessarily the case.”

Wan Wangde: “?”

Meng Jintang: “It’s just a joke, Brother Wan, continue.”

Wan Wangde: “We came to disturb you at night, but Mr. Chang was a little annoyed, so he didn’t want to take action.” After a pause, he added, “Miss Meng, do you want to go there in person?”

Chang Jiuhui is an old man and has such a great reputation, so it is not too much to ask the little girl to take the initiative to find him.

Meng Jintang smiled: “If that’s the case, then that’s it.”

Wan Wangde was stunned for a moment and guessed: “Miss Meng thinks that the old man is not humble enough, so she doesn’t want to see a doctor?”

Meng Jintang shook his head: “The patient takes the initiative to go to the doctor, which can prevent the doctor from wasting time on the round trip. Whether it is to hone his medical skills or see more patients, it will be very good. What the old gentleman did is actually very good. Makes sense.”

Wan Wangde: “Why did that girl…”

Meng Jintang smiled: “Because I don’t really want to go.”

Wan Wangde understood in a second thought – with Chang Jiuhui’s reputation, this sick girl in green didn’t rush to ask anyone to see a doctor. She had a casual attitude and indirectly revealed two pieces of information. , First, she has enough confidence in herself or the medical skills of the Hanshan Sect. Second, she also has enough understanding of her physical condition, so she does not need to find another doctor.

Meng Jintang watched as Wan Wangde’s brows furrowed and then relaxed. Apparently, in this short period of time, he started to think about various things.

Wan Wangde suggested again: “Actually, Wan has always wanted to see Mr. Chang take action, so would you like me to go down and run some errands and invite someone over?”

When one incident happens to hit him in the face one after another, Meng Jintang will easily doubt whether there are some details worth digging into in the relevant plot. He thinks for a moment and smiles: “Then there will be shopkeeper Lao Xiaowan.”

Wan Wangde said goodbye with great force and left. Chen Shen watched him leave, turned around, smiled and said to Meng Jintang: “Mr. Chang will definitely condescend to come here this time.”

Meng Jintang nodded: “Since Mr. Chang is quite conceited about his medical skills, it will be easy for Shopkeeper Xiao Wan to invite him here if he likes him.”

——It is better to get people to agree to come over than to ask for help in words and arouse the curiosity of the other party.

Chang Jiuhui had already refused once. Based on Wan Wangde’s own reputation, he might not be able to get in if he visited again. So when he was halfway there, he decisively went back to his room. He had an independent courtyard but still followed the simple rules. Zuo Lingqiu, who was accustomed to living with his nephew, was dragged out.

Wan Wangde: “…My uncle is compassionate and asks you to accompany my nephew and go to Mr. Chang’s place.”

Zuo Lingqiu sighed and corrected him gently: “Compassion is a Buddhist term. Next time you deceive a Taoist priest, you can change the term to ‘help all living beings’.”

After all, he is also a disciple of Qixing Temple. No matter how inexperienced he is, he can still see that if the pair of senior brothers and sisters of Hanshan Sect are really anxious, even if the senior sister is weak and unable to leave, the junior brother will stay with them. The reason why Wan Wangde was the only one who was busy throughout the whole process. Eighty-nine times out of ten, the person involved did not need mercy from others, but the nephew was curious and wanted to join in the fun.[End of this Chapter.]
