The so-called comrades of the old Jianghu are actually some people who were driven out of the country during special periods. Some of these people are really capable, but most of them are pure speculators. After losing his foothold in the sea of people in the great dynasty of China, he could no longer survive, so he went overseas to live a casual life.
The Huoze brothers established this family business in this lawless place, naturally hoping to pass it on to generations to come. For this reason, Huo Ze personally returned to China to recruit capable people in his early years and established the world's number one killer organization. In addition to building the foundation of the city that never sleeps, Huo Sen also selected strong people from all over the world through high-bonus games. , teach them to build a strong defense force.
Huo Ze's killer organization is full of talented people, good and bad. In order to increase its strength, in addition to the students he trained, it also recruited many people from the past. As long as there is real ability to pass on, he will receive preferential treatment from him. However, people with this kind of real ability are rare after all, so even if you just recommend someone to build a bridge, your work will not be in vain.
Li Muye calls himself Mr. Li. He travels all over the world alone. He has superb cooking skills and good conversation. His extraordinary qualities can be seen at a glance. Brothers Qitian have been dealing with Huo Sen for a long time and know that the Huo family has been recruiting idle talents for their use. Therefore, as soon as the two brothers saw Li Muye in disguise, they were tempted to recruit him.
Li Muye, who Qi Di asked, had already prepared a plan, and responded casually: "On the surface, I am inheriting cooking skills, but in fact, I am learning to collect treasures to steal fragrance. To collect treasures is to collect hundreds of treasures. This treasure is actually a valuable old treasure." To steal objects, to steal a fragrance is to steal a hundred fragrances. This stealing a fragrance is actually also called stealing a red pill. To collect treasures, you rely on your eyesight and technique, while to steal a fragrance, you rely on a face and a little medicine."
These activities are originally the business of Japanese insect masters. I heard from Pi Rixiu that in the past, Japanese insect masters used their identity as cooks as a cover and went in and out of the small gates of the high gate compound mainly to do two things. The first was to collect treasures and make money; It's like stealing the fragrance and stealing the red pill. Li Muye's words were vague and rather general. In fact, there were a lot of things here. The rule is that in white things, you should look at the treasure, and in red things, you should look at the woman.
They must be buried with them when they are young, and most of them are things that the owner loved during his lifetime. From ancient times to the present, emperors have risen and fallen, how many wealthy families have fallen into decline, and how many families have followed the footsteps of the times and taken advantage of the situation. The ups and downs are unpredictable. Today, the beautiful jade is hanging in the temple, but maybe one day it will enter the home of an ordinary person. The ancients said that a broken family is worth a fortune, and this actually makes sense. The waves washed away the sand, and those who could survive and pass it on to future generations could not survive. There were some outstanding figures in that generation, leaving behind only a few old items such as family heirlooms.
The Chinese have the custom of burying the grave in a dignified manner. In the past, families with a little wealth were very particular about this. They chose the location according to Feng Shui and added luck paths to the burial, and they were often meticulous. The Japanese insect masters have noticed this clearly. For example, if they find that a certain family has some basic knowledge and is preparing for a wedding, they will take the initiative to show off the delicious food. The kitchen is entrusted to you.
Taking this opportunity, the Japanese insect master will first look for opportunities to observe the burial objects. If it is worth taking action, he will use the poison mixing technique of food to make the whole family poisoned and sleepy. Naturally, he can take away the treasures calmly. Different from the rules of Tsukibe Mushiji who wander around the world with nothing to gain and never buy any property, almost all Sunbe Mushiji are invisible wealthy people, and they especially like to secretly purchase commercial real estate in various places. Although he lived a wandering life, he always had a full purse and no worries about food and clothing. The purpose of the white thing Xiangbao is to seek wealth, but the purpose of the red thing is to practice a kind of evil magic to maintain health. The Japanese Insect Masters are not greedy and lustful monsters, they only target those human insects that are worth attacking. There is a special emphasis here, which is called the Eight Heavenly Maidens and the Nine Cauldrons. A total of seventeen kinds of virgins are most beneficial to the health-preserving magic that they firmly believe in. Once you encounter it, you will definitely steal the red pill no matter the cost.
Pi Rixiu introduced that the Japanese insect masters all inherited a secret technique in the room, which was said to have evolved from the Heart Sutra of Su Nu. They specially collected some gifted virgin essences to supplement their own life essence. , to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body and prolonging life. The details in this regard are a secret that has not been passed down by the Japanese insect master, even if he is a warlock of the same master level, he doesn't know much about it.
He knew that the Huo Ze brothers were all experts in the world of martial arts, and there were countless knowledgeable experts around them. In order to ensure that Li Muye would not show his cowardice, Pi Rixiu told Li Muye almost everything he knew.
Naturally, Li Muye would not tell Qi in too much detail. Although he only mentioned a few words, it was enough to arouse Qi Di's interest. He asked with great interest: "Are there any particularities in these two methods?"
Li Muye said: "To be honest, Mr. Qi, I, Mr. Li, became a disciple at the age of eighteen. In the past thirty years, from North America to Europe, from Japan and South Korea to Thailand and Malaysia, Jibao dare not boast about how much value it has accumulated." Liancheng’s treasure, but he has quite a lot of experience in stealing fragrance. Countless women secretly harvested red pill essence, and women of all races from all over the world, Li, have tasted it.”
"So you are almost fifty years old this year?" Qi Di looked at Li Muye's still very young face in surprise.
"It's forty-nine," Li Muye said nonsensically.
"This is so unlikeable." Qi Di said in surprise: "He looks no older than thirty at most." He then sighed: "Look at my eldest brother, who is one year younger than you, how old he has become. "
Li Muye said: "Mr. Qi is a big shot. He is very hardworking and it is inevitable that his skin will age quickly. Unlike me, I am free and easy without so many worries."
He shook his head and said: "Sir, you are too humble. I know this is not as simple as you said." As he said that, he looked over with expectation.
Li Muye said: "The art of stealing fragrance is a secret that is not taught in this sect. It's really not convenient for me to tell you more."
Qi Di felt a little disappointed, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Then would it be convenient for you to tell me about this treasure collection technique?"
"Although it is difficult to explain in detail because of the rules of the sect, but since Mr. Qi asked about it, it is not good not to tell you, so I will give you a rough introduction." Li Muye continued: "To talk about this collection of treasures, it is actually Collect some old things that may be valuable, but our line of work is quite special. Compared with those who leave street stalls in Panjiayuan and go to Confucius Temple to build collections of treasures, our line of work is not as elegant as those who dig graves. Compared with the vulgar people who are bad at feng shui, we may be regarded as elegant thieves."
Qi Di asked: "How do you say this?"
Li Muye said: "We only take treasures from the ground, and there are rules. We don't take treasures from families who have accumulated good deeds. We don't take them from families with widows and orphans. We don't take treasures from families that are widowed, old, sick and weak. The art of fortune-telling pays attention to the induction of physical properties. It comes when it's destined. , Although some things are rare, we must not force them if we are not destined for them, otherwise we will suffer great disaster."
Qi Di was a little confused and asked: "Forget about these rules and so on, sir, can you tell me about the method of this treasure?"
"It seems that Boss Qi won't be satisfied if I don't show my shame." Li Muye said: "Our art of Xiangbao is different from those of cultural relics experts. When we look at treasures, we first look at the material, secondly the age, and then the craftsmanship. The last thing is culture. For us, the best things are natural and rare things. Generally speaking, they can be divided into four types, namely wood, metal, gui and elixir."
Qi Di obviously came here with the intention of testing him, and wanted to test it out first to see if Li Muye was qualified enough to be introduced to the Nightless City.
"The so-called wood, rosewood and red sandalwood is not considered a treasure. It must be agarwood, golden vine, volcanic purple bamboo, and earth vein purple dragon wood to be worthy of the word treasure." Li Muye said in a gushing manner, deliberately showing off: "Gold does not mean Gold refers to the metal of black metal and meteorite, which can be forged into weapons and can also be used in special mechanical parts. In short, it must be extremely special, while Gui actually refers to the stone and jade, and Dan refers to the metal. Chong Bao is a matter of secrets, but I can’t tell Mr. Qi the details.”
Qi Di nodded frequently and suddenly asked, "What is Mr. Li's purpose in wandering around the world collecting treasures and stealing fragrances?"
Li Muye said: "I'm not afraid of Mr. Qi's ridicule. I'm a person with no ambitions. I've been wandering around for half my life, collecting money and nourishing myself. I just want to be happy and enjoy life."
"I don't dare to make fun of you." Qi Di waved his hand and said, "What I mean is, if there is such a place where you can not only have endless prosperity and wealth, but also have the best beauties from all over the world for you to have fun and have fun with, would you be willing to stay? over there?"
Li Muye pretended to be disbelieving, waving his hands and saying, "Is Qi always taking advantage of me? How can there be such a place in the world? Even if there is, why do they allow me to stay? This is not a pie-in-the-sky thing. Well."
Qi Di said sternly: "The conditions are definitely there, but they are not harsh. The owner is also an old man in the world. He sincerely makes friends with real abilities in the world. As long as what you have is genuine, you will definitely receive preferential treatment when you get there. "
Li Muye pretended to be alert and looked at Qi Di, and said: "It's hard to paint a tiger's body but to know its face but not its heart. Mr. Qi's original intention was to invite me back to be the chef. You pay for it and I do the work. What you buy is the taste. What I sell is craftsmanship, that's all we have. When I raise enough money and you get tired of the taste of my cooking, we will go our separate ways. You come over to chat, and I will chat with you for a few words. Why did it suddenly happen? Went somewhere else?"
Qi Di said: "Brother Li, don't get me wrong. Our brothers have absolutely no ill intentions. Everything I just said is true and I won't hide it. If we can't walk more than a hundred miles, we will reach the entrance of our destination. We brothers are sincere. Please go and enjoy it. The owner there has always treated you old Jianghu people with real abilities very favorably. As long as Brother Li comes with me and takes a look at the place, you will know that I am definitely not lying to you."
"Is there really such a place?" Li Muye still looked at him suspiciously, trying to be cautious.
The more hesitant and cautious he was, the less doubtful Qi Di was about him. Instead, he continued to strongly recommend: "Brother Li, don't be suspicious. Think about it, everything you have wanted in your wandering life has been realized in one place, and the other party I just hope that I can make friends with you and help you pass on what I have learned. I have no other purpose. You have nothing to offer and you are approaching the age of destiny. Where can you encounter such a good thing?"
Li Muye deliberately pondered for a while and then said: "Then let's go and have a look with Mr. Qi?" (End of Chapter)
