Chapter 65 Jiumozhi: As a middleman, I can’t make any profit from the price difference?
Muni Hall.
Jiumozhi was a respectable man. He greeted everyone one by one and also casually pointed out the secret of Kuruo's Zen practice, showing off a little.
But he did not expect that Emperor Baoding of Dali and Prince Zhennan of Dali would also come to watch the fun.
Could it be that the Duan family of Dali was afraid of him and invited laymen to come as external aid?
And that bald guy in the crowd with a disfigured face, disabled legs, and who calls himself Ben Chen, why does he look more and more like the evil Duan Yanqing?
But Jiumozhi was a respectable man. Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not ask any further questions. Instead, he started the conversation and prepared to exchange the Six Meridians Divine Sword with Tianlong Temple.
If it was a reckless person who came to Tianlong Temple to ask for the Six Meridians Divine Sword, the person would probably say, "Bald donkeys, hand over the Six Meridians Divine Sword. It depends on whether you do it or not!"
But Master Jiumozhi is a decent man.
Even if he was cunning and ruthless, he would still be calm and elegant.
For example, he used Murong Bo as an excuse, saying that Murong Bo loved the Six-Meridian Divine Sword the most during his lifetime, and he wanted to burn the Six-Meridian Divine Sword in front of Murong Bo's grave. This is the allusion to Ji Zha hanging the sword.
This story says that when Yanling Jizi visited the State of Jin, he brought a sword to visit the king of the State of Xu.
The King of Xu State took a fancy to Ji Zi's sword and looked eager for it, but he didn't have the courage to ask for it.
Ji Zi had already thought of giving the sword to the king of Xu, but because he had to visit Jin State, he could not give the sword to the king of Xu at that time.
When Ji Zi returned, the King of Xu had passed away. Ji Zi followed his inner promise and gave the sword to the new king of Xu.
The new king refused to accept it, so Ji Zi hung the sword in front of Xu Jun's tomb and left.
Ji Zi's integrity was praised by the people of Xu State, who sang songs about his noble character.
Jiumozhi, as his name suggests, is knowledgeable and wise. He deliberately designed this rhetoric to compare himself to Ji Zi and Murong Bo to Xu Jun in order to boost his own status.
Jiumozhi did not come empty-handed. He asked someone to deliver three wooden boxes. When the boxes were opened, three Shaolin secret books were revealed, namely "Flower-Picking Finger", "Dora Leaf Finger" and "Formless Robbery Finger".
I have to say that Jiumozhi was indeed a decent man. With an elegant story, three generous gifts, and a humble attitude, he did not look like a robber at all.
At this moment, Jiumozhi looked at the three secret books, but he showed his acting skills at the level of Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, and said with tears in his eyes: "These three secret books were written by my old friend Mr. Murong. They explain the practice methods, key points, and cracking methods of the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills. Mr. Murong..."
When Jiumozhi thought of Murong Bo, he was really moved.
He has always been grateful and respectful to Murong Bo.
First, he admired Murong Bo's peerless martial arts and profound knowledge of martial arts. Second, Murong Bo taught him many unique Dou Lin skills.
How could a martial arts fanatic like him not love such a good person?
It was precisely because of their sincere feelings that in the subsequent battle of Shaoshi Mountain, Jiumozhi did not hesitate to team up with Murong Bo and his son.
They truly appreciate each other and have similar interests.
After performing his remembrance of Murong Bo, Jiumozhi said, "I am willing to exchange these three Shaolin unique skills for your temple's Six Meridians Divine Sword Scripture. After the exchange, I will not read it. I will only take it to Mr. Murong's grave and burn it to pay tribute to Mr. Murong's soul. I think you have heard of my little reputation. I am a man of my word and will never break my promise."
Everyone watching Jiumozhi's performance thought it was amazing.
Emperor Baoding was especially concerned, he thought: This Great Wheel King is clearly coveting the Six Meridians Divine Sword of the Duan family of Dali, but his superficial efforts are so brilliant that no one can find fault with him, this man really should not be underestimated.
Monks like Ben Yin vaguely saw that the secret books sent by Jiumozhi were all pointers to the Dharma, and understood that Jiumozhi was the right remedy for their condition.
The Dali Duan family is famous for their One Yang Finger. If they can comprehend the secret of Shaolin's finger techniques and complement each other, their One Yang Finger will surely become even more exquisite in the future.
Tianlong Temple knows Shaolin martial arts, but Shaolin Temple does not know Tianlong Temple's foundation. Tianlong Temple's martial arts may even surpass Shaolin Temple.
The temptation was so great that even some of the Ben Yin generation were a little shaken.
However, Master Kurong is the real decision-maker of Tianlong Temple. Abbot Benyin is just a changing abbot, but Master Kurong is the permanent master.
Without Master Kurong's approval, the deal cannot be done.
"Your Majesty's longing for his old friend is certainly against the Buddhist philosophy of abstaining from the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance, but it is also human nature and can be understood." Master Kurong said, "But Your Majesty, you should know that the Gusu Murong family and my Dali Duan family do have a deep connection."
Jiumozhi had a bad feeling in his heart and asked, "I wonder what the relationship is between the Murong family of Gusu and the Duan family of Dali?"
Master Kurong said, "Mr. Murong Bo's beloved son, Mr. Murong Fu, known as 'Southern Murong and Northern Qiao Feng' in Jianghu, is in love with the daughter of our Dali Zhennan King Duan Zhengchun and is planning to get engaged. Therefore, Mr. Murong is the son-in-law of our Dali Duan family."
"Right now, Young Master Murong is staying at Tianlong Temple. Since King Ming wants to pay tribute to old Mr. Murong, why not discuss it with Young Master Murong? After all, Young Master Murong is the current master of Gusu Murong family." Master Kuruo's words made Jiumozhi stunned.
Jiumozhi originally planned to use the excuse of burning the sword manual to give it to Murong Bo, but with his intelligence and wisdom along the way, he would definitely be able to memorize the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
Anyway, he had the sword manual in his hands, so it wouldn't be considered a breach of contract if he took a peek at it in his dream.
After burning the Six Meridians Divine Sword, he used the excuse of fulfilling his promise to Murong Bo to go to Murong's Huanshi Water Pavilion to borrow the secret book, thus killing two birds with one stone.
Moreover, the secret book was given to him by Murong Bo. He was doing a business with no capital investment and could only make profits.
Although this action was carried out under the banner of Murong Bo, in reality he, the middleman, made a huge profit from the price difference.
As for Murong Bo?
Even though Jiumozhi was a monk, he didn't believe in hell or ghosts. He had simple materialistic dialectical thinking and believed that when a person dies, it's like a light goes out. If he burned the secret book for Murong Bo, Murong Bo would definitely not be able to see it.
But now Murong Fu is actually in Tianlong Temple, and he is also the son-in-law of Dali Duan family. The princess of Dali Duan family flatters Murong Fu. Ahem, pillow talk, Murong Fu will definitely help Dali Duan family!
Jiumozhi also had a concubine before, and he knew too well that men sometimes think with their small heads instead of their big heads.
Oops!
It’s terrible!
As the middleman, Jiumozhi can no longer make a profit from the price difference!
Jiumozhi was so anxious that he almost lost his composure.
At this time, Abbot Ben Yin said loudly: "Please welcome Master Murong!"
Clank, clank, clank, clank!
Accompanied by the sound of a pipa that sounded like the sound of iron horses and golden swords, Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan made a brilliant appearance.
It turned out that Murong Fu had learned from Jiumozhi's lesson of not bringing speakers, and asked A-Bi to play the pipa in secret, playing a piece of "Ten Sides of Ambush".
The sound of A-Bi's pipa was rapid and sonorous, like a hammer, hitting Jiumozhi's heart hard.
Jiumozhi really had a feeling that he was ambushed from ten sides and was surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Murong Fu was dressed in white and holding a folding fan, looking like a handsome young man from a noble family.
Wang Yuyan followed her husband's lead and was also dressed in white, looking like the immortal Gushe, full of fairy spirit.
They are both charming and charming, and their demeanor is extraordinary. When people see them, they just want to sigh that they are a perfect couple.
"Greetings to Master Ku Rong, and to Sect Leader Duan." Murong Fu greeted everyone at Tianlong Temple, then turned to Jiumozhi and said with a smile, "Gusu Murong Fu, I am honored to meet the Ming King. The Ming King has a majestic appearance, a wise mind, and a wise mouth. Meeting him is truly better than hearing about him!"
Murong Fu's words came from the heart.
Judging from his appearance, Jiumozhi is indeed very intimidating. Even if all the monks of Shaolin Temple were tied together, none of them would look more like a high monk than him.
Apart from himself, there is no other good-looking member in Yixin Club. If Jiumozhi is brought into Yixin Club, can he improve everyone's average appearance?
"Are you really Young Master Murong?" Jiumozhi thought and thought of a move, which was to question Murong Fu's identity and then deny Murong Fu's identity.
"Your Majesty, don't you believe that I am Murong Fu?" Murong Fu said with a smile.
"I have never heard of any connection between Dali Duan family and Gusu Murong. How do I know that Dali Duan family is not looking for someone to impersonate them?" Jiumozhi said.
"Prince Ming, you."
All the people from the Duan clan of Dali glared at Jiumozhi angrily.
Jiumozhi didn't take it seriously. He looked at Murong Fu and continued, "I have a close personal relationship with Mr. Murong Bo. Although you are very handsome, you don't have the charm of Mr. Murong Bo. It's hard to believe!"
Murong Fu smiled and said, "It's very simple to make King Ming not doubt my identity. Since King Ming is on good terms with my late father, he should have learned the Murong family's unique martial arts skill, 'Fighting Stars Shifting', which is unrivaled in the world. So, King Ming, please take a look at my Fighting Stars Shifting!"
As Murong Fu spoke, he suddenly used his hand as a sword and performed a move from the Longcheng Sword Technique called "Advance into the Central Plains". He secretly incorporated the power of the Sanhe Finger into it and attacked Jiumozhi.
Although Jiumozhi did not expect Murong Fu to attack suddenly, his actual combat ability was honed in the years of fighting between Tubo and the Black Sect, so he remained calm and used the invisible true energy of the flaming knife in his right hand to block Murong Fu's sword energy. At the same time, he hid the little finger of his left hand in his sleeve, bent it slightly, and used a very concealed "Formless Robbery Finger" to directly attack Murong Fu's vital points.
Murong Fu smiled slightly, lowered his shoulders and elbows, tucked in his chest and straightened his back, gathering his strength, and immediately used the move of "Stars Shifting"!
puff!
Murong Fu returned the Formless Robbery Finger to its original path and instantly pierced through Jiumozhi's cuffs.
Murong Fu was slightly better, so he stopped and asked, "Ming Wang, do you recognize this Dou Zhuan Xing Yi?"
