Chapter 34 Evil-Repelling Sword Technique
Chapter 34 Evil-Repelling Sword Technique
In this way, Lin Shan, with the concerted efforts of Mr. Zhao and a group of clan elders, successfully became the supreme guest of the Zhao family. The Zhao family would do its best to meet all his requirements.
At the same time, the head of the Zhao family also strongly requested that Lin Shan should be given a certain amount of guest offerings every year, but Lin Shan resolutely refused to accept them.
The elders of the tribe couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude.
The other tribesmen could only stare at each other in amazement, and the decision was entirely up to the elders and the head of the family.
In fact, some people were also very excited, because not only did their family survive the disaster, but they also got to know a powerful innate person.
As for the top masters and servants who were killed by Lin Shan casually before, the head of the family and the elders pretended not to mention it, and the people below naturally did not dare to have any objection.
……
The next morning, at the meeting in the main hall of the Zhao family, a young man in white was sitting on the seat of the head of the family in the front center, and many elders and deacons were sitting in two rows in front of the hall on the left and right.
He listened quietly to the man in front of the young man in white, the head of the family, Mr. Zhao, giving instructions on various new tasks.
"Third brother, you are responsible for the two major families in the north of the city."
"Fifth Uncle, you are in charge of the antique market in the south of the city."
"Seventh sister, you are in charge of all the pawnshops in the west of the city."
"My dear nephew, you are in charge of all the escort agencies of the Chamber of Commerce in the east of the city."
"Qing Yan, you are in charge of the surrounding counties."
……
"Everyone, please remember! What the young master wants is an antique that is old, has a certain cultural and historical background, is widely spread and praised by people, and has incense offerings from some sects.
Oh, and please do not move the Buddha statues from all the temples here.
besides"
……
At Mr. Zhao's orders, baskets of gold and silver were moved to the lobby, along with boxes of jewelry and jade.
"Don't be too stingy when buying antiques this time. As long as they meet the conditions you mentioned, buy them all! Do you understand?"
Everyone bowed their hands together, "We will follow the orders of the Patriarch!"
At the same time, he raised his eyes secretly and looked at the host seat. After seeing the young man in white smiling and nodding, they carried away the treasures one by one, left the hall, and went about their business.
……
"Sir, I have ordered people to secretly sell off some of the clan's assets in exchange for more cash and silver. It will be delivered soon, and then you can eat more antiques."
Mr. Zhao felt bitter, after all, these industries were slowly laid out by the Zhao family over a hundred years. But now they were controlled by others, and in order to complete the task, they had to sell them at a low price.
"Yes, Not Bad."
Lin Shan put down the teacup in his hand and smacked his lips. He had heard that this tea was very expensive, but he found it a bit bitter and couldn't really tell what made it so expensive.
"Your Zhao family should focus on the antique business in the future. There are not many antiques in the world that meet my requirements. You can keep the useless ones and make use of them."
Lin Shan did not forget to give some kind advice, and Mr. Zhao naturally agreed.
Of course, seeing the Zhao family working so hard, Lin Shan naturally understood that you can't just let the horse run without giving it grass. He promised that if the Zhao family had any enemies that they couldn't solve, he would help.
Mr. Zhao was naturally overjoyed, but he knew that helping Lin Shan find antiques was a big deal first, so he would wait until the matter was done before asking for help. Was he still afraid that Lin Shan would not help?
The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Shan stayed at Zhao's house, while Mr. Zhao was busy allocating money.
……
Half a month later, boxes of antiques were moved into the lobby by the Zhao family.
"This way, this way!"
"lighter!"
"Put it there, put it there!"
……
Mr. Zhao carefully checked each item in the account book and directed everyone in the hall to arrange the items.
After all the purchased antiques were placed, he nodded to Lin Shan, led everyone out of the lobby, and considerately closed the door.
At this time, Lin Shan was the only one left in the hall. He was as excited as a child, rubbing his hands together, not knowing where to start. "So many antiques, and they cost two hundred thousand taels of silver. It's really a big deal! If it were me alone, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it all!"
You have to know that the annual tax revenue of the entire Song Dynasty is only 4 million taels! And Zangke County is far away in the southern border, not as rich as Jiangdong, and the government's annual tax revenue is only 100,000 taels.
This room full of antiques was worth two years' tax revenue of Zangke County, and it consumed the Zhao family's accumulation of a hundred years.
Lin Shan looked at the antique paintings and calligraphy, jade carvings scattered all over the floor, and truly realized the benefits of having a powerful force under him. He didn't have to spend any money or effort, and antiques from all over the world would gather and come rolling in.
"I hope you don't disappoint me."
Lin Shan started his favorite touch and sing session.
……
The main hall door was closed from noon until the sun was about to set. Just when Mr. Zhao was getting a little restless, the door creaked open.
Lin Shan walked out slowly, just in time to meet the afterglow of the setting sun. He squinted his eyes and enjoyed this rare gentle moment. At this moment, he seemed to be bathing in a hot spring, feeling ecstatic all over.
Mr. Zhao stood outside the door and didn't dare to disturb him. After a moment, Lin Shan nodded slightly and said, "Take away all the antiques inside. They are of no use to me."
……
This time, the Zhao family almost plundered all the antiques in the entire Zangke County that met Lin Shan’s “so-called” conditions.
However, due to various reasons, there are only six pieces that truly contain ancient charm, four of which have only one point of ancient charm, and only two have two points.
What surprised Lin Shan was that one of the antiques with an ancient charm was actually a "Sword Manual of Exorcism"!
It turns out that in the southern Xinjiang martial arts world, there was a rumor about a powerful innate sword technique called "The Sword of Exorcism", which was lost outside and not controlled by any major forces.
At that time, all the martial arts practitioners went crazy, chasing this sword method, and masters from all sides emerged along the way, fighting continuously. Various sinister means emerged one after another, and they would do anything to get the secret book.
After all, acquired internal martial arts are the secrets of major sects that are not passed down, let alone innate martial arts!
Many top-notch masters in the opposition have no way to be promoted, and are unwilling to serve as dogs for the big sects and wealthy families. Now that there is such an opportunity, who would be willing to miss it?
It is said that the battle affected most of the martial arts world in southern Xinjiang, countless masters died, and twenty to thirty first-rate masters fell.
The last ruthless man who was stuck at the half-step innate level finally got it, but after getting it, he found that the first sentence of the Exorcist Sword Manual was,
"If you want to practice this skill, you must castrate yourself first"!
You have to know that few masters are willing to become sissies, except for special reasons. After all, everyone's cultivation has improved, and what they pursue is not power, beauty, and money!
If it were replaced with an innate technique, maybe everyone would be able to accept it.
The ruthless man who was half a step away from innateness was naturally unhappy about the fact that he had made himself look like neither human nor ghost in order to practice a crappy sword technique, so he spread the matter.
Since then, the entire southern Xinjiang, including the common people, have known about this wonderful innate martial art, but after hundreds of years, no one knows who has it. It was brought back by the Zhao family's antique sweeping troops by accident.
[Sword Manual of Exorcism]
Quality: Innate Martial Arts
Introduction: If you want to practice this skill, you must castrate yourself first!
Enhancement required: 8 points
……
Lin Shan looked at the secret book in his hand with a look of pain on his face. The reason why he did not give it to Mr. Zhao to recycle was because he felt that if this thing was further strengthened, it might become a sword technique for the Qi training period!
It's still of some value.
You have to know that the only spell he has mastered now is the Wind Blade. It is not wrong to say that it is a spell for the Qi training period, but it is even more correct to say that it is a basic attack! After all, it is a skill of using spiritual power.
Once becoming immortal cultivators, people naturally won't punch and kick like ordinary mortals; casting spells and using magical weapons to fight are normal operations.
Wind Blade is the basic of the basics, similar to other attributes of Fireball and Water Arrow, it is generally no different from Normal A, and I don't even bother to take care of the enhancement panel.
"This introduction is bullshit! Can't you introduce it a little more?"
Lin Shan was hesitant. He had just obtained a total of 8 points of ancient charm from all the antiques in the lobby. This innate martial arts book "Bixie Sword Manual" could naturally be strengthened.
But he wasn't sure whether he would need to castrate himself after the strengthening!
"If I castrate myself just to learn a Qi training spell, isn't that too uneconomical?"
After spending 8 points of Ancient Rhythm and betting on an uncertain future, Lin Shan finally gave in.
"Forget it, put it away first and talk about it later."
Putting aside the matter of the sword manual, Lin Shan saw that the Zhao family had almost finished their work. There was probably not much money left to be made in the antique circle of the entire Zangke County.
If I want to come next time, I will have to wait at least a hundred years later. It is still unclear whether the antiques will have new ancient charm by then.
"It seems that in ancient times, people were not well-educated and the spread of human destiny was not widespread. In the future, we still have to focus on believing in sects, and the power of incense and vows is the main factor. The Black Lotus Sect in the Yelang Tomb is probably the main direction."
However, it seems that Nightingale can still be searched once more.
