Chapter 82 7-Step Poison Sand Palm
Chapter 82 Seven-step Poison Sand Palm
Li Hao felt like he was dreaming!
The owner of the hall rewarded Xiashanjun with a life-changing pill, one for each of them.
One day, a medicinal pill specially provided for the inner courtyard disciples was lying in his palm, emitting a pungent medicinal fragrance.
"The master's reward is also to encourage you to continue to work hard for the martial arts school."
After Lu Qiang gave the pills, he said, "From now on, you will have 20 taels of monthly salary every month."
That’s part of the reward.
After Zhou You and Li Hao became regular employees, although they did not have to pay tuition and lived and ate at the martial arts school, they did not earn much.
Things didn't turn around until I completed the task and received the praise from the museum owner.
The 20 taels per month were nominally pocket money, but in reality it was basic salary, representing a new level of status for them in the martial arts school.
Of course, they are still not as good as the inner court disciples, who can all buy properties and belong to wealthy families.
"Zhou You, I understand now. Without the tiger tooth and gourd you presented us, we would have only 20 taels of silver per month at best."
Li Hao observed the whole process. He was also a very thoughtful person and knew the source of the reward.
If it weren't for the tiger tooth gourd that Zhou Youjin carefully prepared to make the museum owner happy, how could it be their turn to get the tiger life-changing pill?
He thanked Zhou You again and again, and promised, "I will not mention anything about the Mountain God Temple again."
The implication was that he would keep the matter of the bronze bell to himself.
The tens of thousands of kilograms of copper material in the bronze bell itself is a huge fortune, not to mention the content of the inscription.
Li Hao thought he knew the value of the bronze bell, but in fact he knew nothing about the existence of the inscription.
"That's fine. The pills belong to you only after you eat them. Digest them quickly."
After Zhou You took Shanjun's life-changing pill, he entered a slow digestion phase.
The medicinal power of this pill is too strong, far beyond the tiger bone paste or tiger bone wine, and it cannot be fully digested and absorbed in a short period of time.
He took some time to find and maintain a relationship with his senior brother Shen Sijing.
"Brother Shen, this mission was completed thanks to the accommodation and food provided by the company."
Shen Sijing waved his hand, "It's up to you guys to do well."
"Oh, by the way, I heard that the owner of the museum intends to use you, so you must perform well in the future."
Shen Sijing admired Zhou You very much. He was calm, motivated, and impeccable in his interpersonal relationships.
Especially since Zhou You’s father was an old man in the business, his relationship with him couldn’t be closer.
"I heard that Wang Yan asked the owner to use you two as guards. Well, you can't refuse the mission, but don't get too close to her."
Shen Sijing said meaningfully, "The martial arts school's eldest lady is involved in too many things, don't think about it."
"Men should get married when they are old enough. Don't worry about your marriage. I will find a good family for you."
Shen Sijing took the initiative to take on the matchmaking job. According to his own ideas, he found someone in the business firm to arrange a marriage for Zhou You and tie him to his own camp.
Well, this is generally how wealthy families keep loyal servants and loyal warriors.
Zhou You smiled and bowed to thank him for his kindness.
"Brother Shen, I have a batch of copper materials on hand, and I would like to ask you to sell them on my behalf."
The bronze bell in the mountain temple is quite heavy, so it must be sold as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
After much thought, the only channel at the moment is Shen Sijing.
The company handles countless amounts of goods every day and can definitely handle this batch of copper.
Besides, Shen Sijing also wants to win over Zhou You to work for him, so it is unlikely that he would rob his fellow criminals.
Tens of thousands of kilograms of copper is a sky-high price for ordinary people, but converted into less than ten thousand taels of silver, it is nothing to him.
Shen Sijing laughed after hearing this, good boy, you really know how to do it!
This batch of copper materials must have been intercepted by someone during the mission, so they took the initiative to ask him to sell the stolen goods on their behalf, which showed their attitude of being "one of us".
Do you really think that only bandits need a "letter of surrender"? No matter which circle you are in, you will at least have to shed some skin if you want to fit in!
"Give me an address and I'll send someone to pick it up." Shen Sijing said, "After the copper is sold, do you want gold or silver?"
"Silver, it's more convenient to use."
Gold is valuable and easy to store, but silver would be better if used to spend.
Zhou You was not worried about finding any clues. After all, the bronze bell had been processed and was now just a pile of scrap copper.
Well, before he left the mountain temple, he specially set it on fire.
The fire burned for three days and three nights, scorching the ground and melting the bronze bell into a pile of copper lumps.
If someone passes by again, they won’t even be able to tell what it originally was, not to mention the inscriptions that have long been worn away.
"I would like to thank Senior Brother Shen. All fire losses will be dealt with according to the rules. I understand."
The kickbacks from doing things should be put into Zhou You’s account. We can’t let my senior brother spend the money.
Shen Sijing was very satisfied with this, and gave Zhou You special instructions on how to digest the Tiger King Life-changing Pill to maximize its medicinal power.
"Brother Shen, my family recently bought a painting and the seal is interesting."
Zhou You drew an inscription with his fingertips and asked Shen Sijing tentatively.
"Well, this is one of the eighteen ancient seal characters in epigraphy. It is often seen on calligraphy, paintings, bells and drums. Are you interested?"
Shen Sijing waved his hand and said, "I'll send someone to bring you some books. Read them when you have time to kill time."
"But don't get addicted. The things of the literati are not for food or clothing, but just for entertainment."
He also mentioned that among the martial arts school, there was one person who had the highest attainments in epigraphy.
Qi Fengzhang is the disciple with the most distinguished status among the inner court disciples.
He is a descendant of the Qi family, an aristocratic family in the city. His family has a collection of many seals and jade stamps, each of which is priceless.
Shen Sijing also comes from a wealthy family, but in front of the Qi family, he is at best just a nouveau riche.
They are a truly aristocratic family with a solid background, a famous and prestigious family known far and wide.
According to legend, the owner of the martial arts hall had a secret deal with the Qi family, which led to him opening a martial arts hall in the city and becoming famous.
Therefore, Qi Fengzhang's status in front of Wang Jianxiong is not at the same level as that of his other fellow disciples.
Only then did Zhou You realize that the ancient seal script in epigraphy was something that only wealthy families specialized in studying.
Without a solid foundation in ancient seal script, it would be difficult to translate even a complete sentence from the inscription on the bronze bell.
The only solution now is to teach myself ancient seal script and restore the content of the inscription on the bronze bell.
This matter should not be publicized, it must be done carefully, low-key and secretly.
Shen Sijing is efficient and keeps his word.
A few days later, people from the merchant company dug out copper blocks from the ruins of the mountain temple, melted them in a furnace on the spot, and divided them up and transported them away.
After weighing, the total amount of copper material was more than 9000 kilograms, equivalent to taels of silver, less than kilograms.
The money arrived quickly, along with a few books on ancient seal script.
While Zhou You was digesting the mountain tiger's life-changing pill, he was also earnestly studying ancient seal script and translating the inscription on the bronze bell.
time flies……
The medicinal power of a whole Tiger Life-changing Pill was almost consumed, and the three attributes increased by +5 in total.
The inner plague's Tiger Evil was absorbed, and the Tiger Evil's skill was successfully upgraded to lv2.
At the same time, the first results of the translation came out.
The title of the inscription on the bronze bell translates into five words: Seven…Steps…Poison…Sand…Palm.
Zhou You scratched his head. Judging from the name, it sounded like an evil palm technique!
This palm technique includes internal training techniques, and its level is higher than the Subduing Tiger Fist and the Goose Fist.
