Chapter 173 What a Handsome Young Man!

Seeing that Tang Bandi was silent, the old man thought that he was unwilling, so he sneered and said, "Hey, do you feel sorry for your little girlfriend? Are you afraid that she is in danger?"

The Tang bandit looked at the old man and said loudly: "As long as you participate in the seizure of the heir, how can you not be in danger? Once you enter the Hou family, it is as deep as the sea, and the most ruthless emperor's family is."

"Intrigues, intrigues, life-and-death dramas have been going on for thousands of years, brothers killing each other, fathers and sons fighting, regardless of human ethics. This has been the case since ancient times."

"However, based on my understanding of Phoenix, she has no intention of seizing the direct descendant."

"Ambition is not innate. It needs nourishment, guidance, and someone to fan the flames." The old man's voice was full of deception, like the poisonous snake that tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.

He looked at Tang Bandit and said loudly: "You are the best candidate."

"No, I am not."

"Humility." The old man said categorically: "No one can do better than you. Didn't you keep Ling Yunxiao with the intention of letting him tell the truth in front of Phoenix when the time was right? Phoenix? What would she think if she knew that Chen Fenglei was responsible for this matter?"

"When did you scatter the rice that was not used to catch prey? Are you really worried that the wild birds outside will not be able to fill their bellies to do good deeds?"

Tang Bandit looked at the old man with an angry look and said loudly: "Do you think you are annoying? You always treat a gentleman with a villain's heart. Can't I be born with a Bodhisattva's heart?"

The old man shook his head with a smile and said: "Although you were not born by me, I raised you. No one knows better than me what kind of person you are."

"However, you are right about one thing. I have a villain's heart, and so do you. Because the things I taught you are originally the way to save your life. If you really have the heart of a Bodhisattva, you will not be able to survive. of."

After a moment of silence, Tang Bandit said: "I understand what you mean. This assassination of the royal family makes me feel very insecure. After this first time, they will have a second and third time. We must do it Just fight back."

Hatred has always been like this. You hate someone and want to kill him.

In the end, I couldn't kill him. I was afraid of the other party's revenge, so I hated him even more...

Once some things start, you can never go back.

"It's good if you can figure it out." The old man nodded happily and said, "However, at this time, we must be more cautious. Ling Yunxiao's disappearance will definitely make the royal family suspicious and guess which force is responsible."

"However, they shouldn't be able to guess what's wrong with you. You are a refugee from the old land, with no roots and no foundation, and your cultivation level is not as good as Ling Yunxiao's. You can't even hide. How could you take the initiative to come to your door?"

"What's more, you have been practicing and enlightening on Bailu Mountain during this period. There are so many pairs of eyes staring at you. How can you find someone who they can't find themselves?"

"Proceed step by step. Accumulate strength first, and then gain momentum. Only when you have enough strength will you be qualified to stand up and fight head-on."

"What you have to do now is to borrow the momentum, borrow the momentum of your little girlfriend, borrow the momentum of Egret Academy, borrow the momentum of Xuanyuan Mingjing, and even borrow the momentum of the Shen family. Borrow the momentum of everyone."

"The enemy of our enemy is our friend, and the friend of our enemy may also become our friend. How to operate and how to plan the layout, you have to rely on the opportunity and follow the trend."

"We people will provide you with good cover from the outside. The most important thing now is to improve your own strength. Xuanyuan Mingjing will be a good teacher. What he can bring to you is not something we can compare with."

"It's a pity that your Tang family also has a unique skill, but I can't let you learn it. You can't even touch it. If you show it even a little bit, I'm afraid your life will be in danger."

"One day, I will learn it." Tang Bandi said firmly.

Thinking of the couple roaring in the sea of ​​fire, Tang Bandit's mood became extremely heavy, and he said loudly: "One day, I will show the Tang family's unique skills to the world openly and openly."

"I'm looking forward to that day too." The old man's eyes flashed with a strange look, as if he thought of his past glory and was full of hope for the future.

Tang Bandit looked at the old man and asked aloud: "Did you take down Ling Yunxiao yourself? That shouldn't be the case, right? Your identity cannot be exposed. You shouldn't take action easily."

"It's not me, it's someone else." The old man said loudly, "You will see him if you have the chance."

"It seems you have a lot of people hiding in your pocket."

"Wildfires cannot be burned clean, but the spring breeze blows them again." The old man sneered again and again and said: "They thought they had killed them all, but there are always some seeds peeking out from the cracks in the rocks that no one knows about, and growing green leaves. Bloom and bear fruit."

"It seems that your recent progress has been quite smooth." Tang Bandi said.

"You are not allowed to come into contact with them for the time being to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. You are in danger and they are in danger." The old man said loudly: "Ling Yunxiao is missing. Chen Fenglei is afraid that they will step up their surveillance on you. They don't believe it is him." You took action, but they were worried that you knew about it."

"I understand." Tang Bandi nodded to express his understanding.

"Okay, there's nothing going on here. Go back to the academy as soon as possible. Don't make them suspicious after being away for such a long time." The old man urged.

"Don't worry, there are no classes in the academy today, and the students are all outside for free activities." Tang Bandit said with a smile: "I have to go back to see Fatty in a while. I'm not at home, and I'm really worried that he will starve and lose weight."

The old man said angrily: "If you ask him to eat less, why would he grow so much meat? I'm afraid he won't even be able to find a wife in the future."

"Did I make him fat? He was just this fat on the old soil."

"At that time, I told him to eat less. Did you two listen to me? I tried to control him once, but you refuted it once. You also said that I abused children. If I abused him, how did he get all that fat?"

"Then I don't know. Who knows if you secretly put lard into his mouth while I was sleeping?"

"You heartless thing, had I known I would have stuffed lard into your mouth and made all the fat on your body grow on you. I wonder if Phoenix will fall in love with you."

The old man cursed angrily, and the two of them once again returned to their old days of fighting each other.

"Do you think she likes my appearance? What she likes is my profound self-cultivation and noble sentiments."

"If you don't have a pretty face, who would want to know if you have any moral integrity? Fatty is much kinder than you, so why doesn't she like Fatty?"

"Why are you cursing people while you're talking? Did the little fat guy provoke you?"

"I'm just stating a fact."

"That's true." Tang Bandi nodded seriously.

"."

Tang Bandit stood up to leave, thought for a moment, and sat back down again.

He stretched out his hand to the old man and said, "Give me a few dozen of your magic talismans. I think they are quite useful."

"If I want to ask something out of someone else's mouth in the future, I will stick this talisman on his temple."

"Do you think this is shopping for food in the wet market? A dozen for each mouthful? Do you know how much energy and money this talisman costs me? Do you know how long it takes to draw a talisman? I am alone It takes me a week to draw this one.”

"Besides, you don't know spells, so what's the point of coming here? Do you think you can just slap it on someone's forehead? How can it be so easy to coordinate spells with techniques?"

Bandit Tang stared at the old man with resentful eyes, and said aloud: "What kind of exercise is this? Why don't you teach me such a powerful technique?"

"Lu Ban's Book of Death." The old man no longer concealed anything and said, "This book is the most amazing book in the world. It is divided into two parts. The upper part contains formation spells and the lower part contains mechanisms and equipment. I have taught the lower part to You are done, are you still not satisfied?"

"Huh? The technique you taught me to make a bird is the lower part of "Luban Dead Book"? It doesn't look like this book is very good, even the bird can't fly."

Hearing that bandit Tang dared to insult "Luban's Dead Book", the old man cursed and said, "Can you blame me for the bird not being able to fly? Isn't it because you are too stupid?"

"Besides, I need tools but no tools, parts but no parts, nothing on the old soil. What do you want me to do? Only a few pieces of wood can fly so high. Don't you think this is already amazing?"

"You also studied in the Mechanical Department of the Military Academy. What they are teaching you now... Do you all have a feeling of deja vu?"

Bandit Tang thought for a while and said, "Is it true that they also studied "Luban's Dead Book"?"

"How is that possible?" The old man looked at the Tang bandits as if they were idiots and said, "Because the textbooks they studied were compiled by our Lu family, and most of their techniques and knowledge were passed down from the Lu family. It’s pretty good to have one-tenth of the dry goods, but you still want to learn the original "Luban Dead Book"?"

"Your family is so stingy. The school charges so much tuition but doesn't teach anything real. Isn't this money fraud?" Tang Bandi defended his classmates.

"I have taught the disciples to starve the master. Is there any family that will take out all the things at the bottom of the box?"

"If the Lu family did not maintain its technological advantages and become the leader of this world, would they have been eliminated long ago and still be able to survive for thousands of years?"

"That's indeed the case." Tang Bandit nodded. He didn't care much about whether others learned something real. He was mainly angry that he didn't learn something real.

"Then why don't you teach me the first volume of "Luban's Dead Book"? I think the first half is more powerful."

The old man shook his head and said: "They are all flashy things. Once you learn them, they will naturally make you lazy. You will want to take shortcuts and sideways in everything you do."

"Moreover, this thing can distract people. If you learn the first half, you will no longer be able to endure the pain of breaking through the realm of practice, and you will not have such martial arts achievements."

"If you don't have talent in martial arts, or don't have such a big goal, just learn it. It is a very good auxiliary tool. However, if you want to become a master or even a grand master, you still have to be focused on everything. , keep your heart as one.”

"I know, I know you must be doing it for my own good. Otherwise, you must have taught me." Tang Bandit said with a smile.

He still has this little bit of confidence. The old man treats him better than he treats himself.

"However, I have already taught the first half of "Lu Ban's Book of Death" to someone else, someone you would never expect."

"Little Fatty?" Tang Bandit asked.

He immediately dismissed this possibility, shook his head and said: "It's not Xiaopang. Xiaopang can't possibly learn it. I'm afraid it will take several years to memorize a spell."

Tang Bandit looked at the old man and said, "An Ning? Did you pass it on to An Ning?"

The old man looked at Tang Bandit in surprise and asked, "How did you know it was her?"

"I've known for a long time that you have evil intentions towards Aunt Cheng. In order to please your old lover, isn't it a matter of course that you teach her daughter some life-saving skills?"

"Get out of here."

"Okay." Tang Bandit patted his butt and stood up neatly.

Sitting for too long can lead to hemorrhoids.

When the Tang bandits emerged from the ground, night had fallen, and the whole city was brightly lit and bustling with traffic.

Tang Bandit suddenly felt sad. This was a sight that the old land could never see.

After Tang Bandi came to Xinxing, he had not yet carefully felt the night scene here.

Instead of taking a car, he was going to walk home.

He didn't tell Fatty that he was coming back today, he wanted to give Fatty a surprise.

Thinking of Xiaopang, a warm current surged in his heart.

These are his relatives. Wherever he is, they have a common home.

Otherwise, he would be alone in this world.

No matter how abundant our material life is, we are still empty in our hearts, with no place to rest and rely on.

When Bandit Tang was walking through a small alley, he saw an old man pushing an energy cart selling sugar and roasted chestnuts.

"Roasted chestnuts with sugar."

“Chestnuts fried in the traditional way”

“Fragrant and sweet. Roasted chestnuts with sugar”

——

Tang Bandit smelled the smell of chestnuts floating in the air and couldn't help but twitch his index finger.

He hasn't eaten anything since he came down from Bailu Academy. After spending a lot of energy, I was really hungry.

Tang Bandit walked over quickly and asked, "Uncle, how do you sell chestnuts?"

"Twenty stars per pound." The uncle looked at Tang Bandit with a smile and said, "Young man, would you like some? The chestnuts I fry are very sweet. They are fried using the ancient method."

"What is the ancient method?" Tang Bandit asked.

"The chestnuts sold by other people are fried by machine, but I use hand frying. And I use the softest sand to fry the chestnuts together. The temperature of the sand will scald the chestnuts. You will know after one taste."

"Is this ancient method passed down from Blue Star?" Tang Bandit asked.

When he was on the old soil, he and Xiaopang also went to pick up chestnuts, and then came back to set up a big pot and add sand to fry them.

It’s just that no one has made it look so good.

"Yes, it came from Blue Star." The uncle nodded repeatedly and said, "Blue Star, such a distant term. It is the birthplace of our humanity, but we can't go back."

"Don't go back. The environment there is too harsh to survive." Tang Bandit said. "Even if you know how to fry chestnuts, no one will buy them, they will just rob them."

"You young man, you are just talking as if you had just been there."

"I just came back from there." Tang Bandi said.

The uncle laughed loudly, obviously not believing what Tang Bandit said, and asked aloud: "Would you like some to try?"

"Okay, here are ten pounds." Tang Bandi said.

The uncle was stunned for a moment, and quickly tried to dissuade him, saying, "Young man, don't buy so many at once. These chestnuts are most delicious when they are just out of the pot, but they won't be so fragrant when they are cold."

"If you buy so much at one time, you won't be able to finish it all. Isn't that a waste of money? I'll weigh it for you. If you think it tastes good, you can buy it from me next time."

"It's okay, I can eat it all. You can weigh ten catties for me." Bandit Tang said with a smile.

Of course he can't finish it all by himself, but he has little fat.

He has great confidence in his brother's fighting ability.

Two pounds? It's not enough for a chubby kid to stuff between his teeth.

"Do you really want ten pounds?"

"It really costs ten pounds."

"All right."

The uncle stopped persuading, and quickly helped the Tang bandit weigh ten catties of chestnuts.

At this moment, a boy in white came over and said in a cold voice, "Give me ten catties, too."

"You also want ten catties?" The uncle looked at the boy in white in surprise, and said with a smile, "Can you finish it too?"

"able."

"Success, then I'll give you ten catties too." The uncle said with a smile, and then added: "What a handsome young man."

"."

Tang Bandit felt a little unhappy.

The old guy didn't praise himself so much.

Everyone buys the same amount of chestnuts and spends the same amount of money, so why does he have this compliment but not himself? Why don't you provide me with such precious emotional value?

Do you look down on people? Do you believe that I called the consumer phone number to complain about you?

The uncle didn't know that he had offended a big customer. After pretending to the young man in white for ten years, he said to him: "Just like this little brother, two hundred stars."

"."

Tang Bandit sneered.

Call him a handsome young man, call me little brother? Who is your brother?

The boy in white took the chestnut, reached out and groped in his arms for a while, then looked at the uncle and said, "I didn't bring any money."

"."uncle.

"." Tang Bandit.

The boy in white turned to look at Bandit Tang, and asked, "Do you have two hundred yuan?"

"have."

"Can you lend it to me?"

"No." Tang Bandit said.

"."

"It's okay, it's okay." The uncle waved his hand and said to the boy in white: "Looking at the way this young man is dressed, he is definitely not trying to trick the old man into eating a few kilograms of chestnuts."

"Everyone is inconvenient, you can take these chestnuts and eat them, and give them to me when you have money."

Tang Bandit was even more unhappy. He looked at the uncle and asked, "Then can you also give me ten catties of chestnuts?"

The uncle shook his head and said, "No, you have already given me the money."

"You can return it to me."

"."

"How about this?" Tang Bandit said, "I'll give him two hundred yuan and you can praise me."

"A compliment to you?" The uncle looked at Tang Bandit with wide eyes, not understanding what kind of operation mode this was.

"Yes, what a handsome young man to say this to me again."

"What a. What a handsome young man."

"Be smooth and natural, and praise from the heart. Don't make it sound like you are being forced to do something perfunctory."

The uncle gritted his teeth and decided to fight for two hundred stars.

In life, no one has the time to bow his head and kneel down to beg for mercy.

How did you say that? Money is hard to make and shit is hard to eat.

"What a handsome young man." The uncle said this "from the heart" compliment in one breath.

Smooth and natural, not stiff, not even a stutter.

"It's done." Bandit Tang raised his watch and paid the uncle two hundred yuan again, and said, "Sweep it."

Then he said to the boy in white: "You owe me two hundred yuan, remember to pay me back."

"."

Tang Bandit held chestnuts in his hands and walked happily on the path home.

Grab one and throw it into your mouth, using your teeth and flexible tongue to peel off the shell.

It is sweet in the mouth, extremely glutinous in texture, and extremely delicious.

The uncle and the young man in white stood there and looked at his back. They felt that the wind tonight was a little messy and was blowing in a mess.
