"Bell Tower Hotel", as soon as you entered the door, there was a faint scent of wood, refreshing, Zheng Nan looked straight ahead, there was a large incense burner, lit with three Zen incense sticks over one meter high. He never thought that the hotel here would have such a layout. When he looked up, he saw such decorations, but nothing was enshrined. He didn't know what the owner's intention was in placing the "Three Incense Burner" in the lobby.
"Buzz" The melodious bell rang outside the door, and Zheng Nan's ears trembled. He heard the "ta-da" footsteps, and there were three people walking towards this side. Sure enough, after a while, three men were seen slowly walking over. The leader was Huo Yadong, the leader of the Qinglong Society. On the left was Zhou Zhe, the person in charge of Liyang City. Zheng Nan had never seen the young man on the right. Meet.
Zhou Zhe first introduced Zheng Nan, and then said with a smile: "This is our gang leader. Let's talk. I have to take my leave in advance!" After the two parties briefly met, Zhou Zhe proposed to leave. Obviously, what happened next He was not suitable to stay during the conversation, so he left first with good sense.
"Zheng Nan, hehe, please come inside!" Huo Yadong looked to be in his forties. He was radiant and energetic. He walked at a leisurely pace and stared at Zheng Nan with a scorching gaze. His tone of voice was quite gentle. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked inside.
Zheng Nan nodded. He was full of suspicion at this moment, but he didn't ask any more questions. He was already here anyway, and the other party would definitely explain it clearly to him. He nodded and said hello to the young man next to him, but it was obvious that he was not enthusiastic. She ignored him at all, snorted slightly from the tip of her nose, then turned around and followed Huo Yadong's footsteps.
Bell Tower Hotel has a private room structure inside. There are more than a dozen waitresses, all wearing uniform bright red cheongsams, forming a unique and beautiful scenery, which is very attractive. Each waitress has an outstanding appearance, an absolute beauty, a small oval face, concave and convex, and a graceful and graceful smile, which makes all the guests feel like spring breeze.
Zheng Nan followed closely behind the two people in front and walked forward for about five minutes before arriving at the "Tianhai Pavilion", which should be the highest-standard private room in the Bell Tower Hotel. Of course, it belongs to the exclusive place of Huo Yadong, the leader of the Qinglong Society. The configuration inside is really luxurious, and the enjoyment of the emperor is extremely noble.
"Aaron, wait outside. If anything happens, please let me know at any time!" Huo Yadong suddenly stepped forward and said something to the back. He was smoking a cigar and sitting on a soft sofa chair. He raised his finger and said expressionlessly to the young man.
"Yes, boss!" The young man named "Along" nodded - he stared at Zheng Nan with an indifferent glance, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. I couldn't tell what he meant; but it was obvious that he was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it. After all, there was a "big boss" sitting there, and he wouldn't dare to act recklessly even if he had ten courages, so he could only act as if. Wu glared at Zheng Nan.
After Aaron walked out, there were only two people left in the room, Huo Yadong and Zheng Nan. At this time, Huo Yadong showed a rare smile to Zheng Nan, pointed to a chair opposite, and squeezed out a word, and said: "Sit!"
Then Huo Yadong snapped his fingers to signal the waitress outside the door to start serving food. After a while, the round table was filled with delicacies. Its level of luxury was no less than that of a Manchu-Han banquet. This was a "dinner for distinguished guests" at the Bell Tower Hotel. Of course, Zheng Nan "got the privilege" of following Gang Leader Huo to have the opportunity to taste such delicious food.
Huo Yadong was sitting there. He had not come here many times. This time he came to Liyang City mainly to participate in the "Phoenix Competition". He smoked half of the cigar in his hand before he started to speak. During this period of time, Zheng Nan sat opposite and felt uneasy. He really didn't know what the big boss's purpose was.
"Zheng Nan, I heard that you are very skilled in martial arts and can climb over walls and walls with ease?" Huo Yadong chuckled, picked up the chopsticks, and motioned for him to enjoy the delicious meal on the table. He first picked up a chopstick of "Tianqiao" vermicelli, which had a smooth texture and a delicious fragrance. It left people with endless aftertaste, so I closed my eyes and said to myself: "It tastes good!"
Zheng Nan was embarrassed at the beginning, but now he has slowly stabilized his emotions. He has also relaxed his mind. Isn't he just a "big boss"? What's the big deal? In his previous life, Dr. Zheng also made a "big fuss" in the palace. He had attended many banquets of wealthy families and enjoyed numerous royal banquets. Therefore, when he really calmed down, it was only when Huo Yadong opposite him was a prince. Just a nobleman.
"Gang Leader Huo was joking, I don't have the ability to fly over walls and fly over walls. Those are all fictions in martial arts novels, even today"There is probably no such person in the Lin family! "Zheng Nan said.
Huo Yadong didn't nod, but he didn't deny it either. He just raised his head and glanced at Zheng Nan. From this moment on, he could no longer see the latter's panic and uneasiness. Instead, he became very peaceful and calm. This also made Huo Yadong secretly Appreciating it, he said slowly: "I have seen a person with such ability!"
"Oh?" Zheng Nan was startled. He raised his head and looked at Huo Yadong suspiciously. Could it be that there is such a powerful martial arts family now? From the beginning to now, he has never come into contact with the inheritors of the eighteen martial arts at a deeper level, such as the Shaolin Kung Fu that is passed down orally by the common people, or even the Wudang Zongyun Ladder and the Emei Jade Palm. All these are like illusions. The real "Martial Arts Master" "Already extinct.
This is a stage of disconnection. The entire society no longer respects "martial arts", and even the glory of martial arts in the past is no longer seen. The capital that major aristocratic families rely on is "martial arts". Even the emperor of the current dynasty is inseparable from a group of "Emperor Guards" and "Eunuch Party". None of these people is a master. In the Royal Forest Army, there are even genius disciples from major families gathered together. The power of the warriors of each dynasty is important. It is relatively much larger, and it is impossible to counterattack the imperial court.
????????? Nowadays, there are no so-called martial arts masters, not even the bodyguards around the chief. In Zheng Nan's eyes, it was nothing more than the Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu, and any grappling and fighting skills were comparable to the "Eagle Claw Lock". Or is it comparable to the "Qiankun Palm" or the "Ling Yun Step"?
Of course Zheng Nan was very surprised. If there really is a heritage from the ancient martial arts family, it undoubtedly has a rich heritage. Even in the capital, it is the heritage of a large force. Even if it declines, it will not be lost. It will be silent for too long, and it will "come out" after a while. People all over the world "search" for martial arts geniuses, use them for their own purposes, and become the inheritors of unique skills.
Before he could ask any more questions, Huo Yadong had already spoken. He said word for word: "I have a close friendship with a good friend. He is a successor of a martial arts family. Now, although he has retired, he has been paying attention to outstanding warriors all over the world, and you happened to enter his ¡ý Sight."
Zheng Nan's nervous heart relaxed slightly. It was obvious that this inheritor had no ill intentions towards him, if the other party had been secretly observing him. But he didn't take action, which proved his kindness. And at the same time. He also realized that it must be this inheritor who wanted to pass the Qinglong Society leader Huo Yadong. Then get in touch with and get to know yourself, but the purpose is still unknown.
"Is this inheritor here today?" he asked.
Huo Yadong chuckled, and his eyes flashed with a subtle light. At the moment when he was picking up vegetables, he glanced sideways and then quickly retracted. He smiled and said: "Young man, you are too impatient! It's your turn. When you can see it, you will naturally see it; when it is time for him to appear, he will naturally appear!"
Zheng Nan knew that this big boss was having fun with him, so he didn't ask any more questions and ate it all in one go. He only said a few words in between, "hungry", "very hungry" and "delicious". Then under Huo Yadong's keen gaze, the boy wolfed down the food like a jackal, tiger, and leopard that had been hungry for three days.
After finally waiting for him to finish his meal, Huo Yadong continued to speak. He felt funny in his heart and started to fight with him. The boy just pretended to be stupid and didn't ask any more questions. In the end, he had to speak. "Zheng Nan, do you know what my purpose is for meeting you this time?"
Zheng Nan chuckled, shook his head, and said, "I don't know!"
Huo Yadong stared at this kid for a long time, but he didn't find anything wrong, but his heart was very open. The young man sitting in front of him definitely had superhuman qualifications in terms of martial arts, mental ability, and ability. This time There is really a very tricky thing and I need to find a collaborator.
"I want your help! In other words, on a certain matter, I want to gain certain benefits through you. Of course, it is definitely a win-win benefit!" He said straightforwardly what he wanted to say most. He brought it up and said pleasantly: "I'm optimistic about you, so I found you!"
Zheng Nan was stunned. This was all nonsense. He really didn¡¯t understand why Huo Yadong would say such things. He originally thought that the news about his violent beating of Luo Xiangrui might have leaked out, but now it seems that Huo Yadong must have other purposes, but he doesn't know what the so-called "win-win" means?
"Gang Leader Huo, can you tell me more specifically?" He smiled and asked.
Huo Yadong nodded. At this time, the food was almost finished. He called the beautiful waiter over, removed the leftovers from the table, and then replaced them with tea sets. The place became a "tea house". After everyone evacuated, he leaned comfortably on the sofa chair and put a picture?Pushed it to Zheng Nan.
"You can take a look"
"This is" Zheng Nan looked at the other party's face and didn't think there was anything wrong. In his opinion, there was no need for the Qinglong Society to harm him. After all, there was no conflict of interest between the two parties, and he had always had a close relationship with the Qinglong Society. Okay, so he took the drawing in his hand, and a yellowed oil paper scroll slowly unfolded.
"Full picture of Digu Temple?" Zheng Nan stared at the picture on the oil paper, which outlined a simple temple structure. This Digu Temple must have been a prosperous ancient temple in a certain dynasty¡âA full picture should It is a collection of "antiques". According to Zheng Nan's perspective, it should be regarded as a "fake" because there are certain differences between the picture and the text, and the text was added in "cursive" by later generations.
Huo Yadong just got one of the treasure maps, but he obviously didn't see through the secret. Now that Digu Temple has been "born", of course he can't sit still. His eyes were extremely deep, staring at the yellowed blueprint, and he slowly said: "Beiyi County, Digu Temple, treasure map!"
Although it was only nine words, it surprised Zheng Nan for a while. A few days ago, he heard Wu Ge say that an underground ancient temple was recently discovered in Beiyi County. It is said that there are some suspicious sword marks on the walls of the ancient temple. For the sake of generation, it is likely that it is a kind of sword manual, sword technique and other treasures. Many martial arts successors rushed to Beiyi County in order to get some great opportunities.
Now, surprisingly, a "treasure map" has appeared. Could it be that this Digu Temple has been targeted by many forces? Now that it has been discovered by relevant departments, all parties are eager to "speculate" and seek maximum benefits from it?
"Is there any treasure in Digu Temple?" Zheng Nan asked.
Huo Yadong took a sip of fragrant tea and said lightly: "It's absolutely true!" The news has gone viral among the major forces, and of course, it's only among their top executives. Including the three major families in the capital, the purpose of coming to Liyang City this time is not just to participate in the "Phoenix Competition".
Everything comes from treasure!
Zheng Nan stared at this treasure map for a long time. It was just a rough structural map, and there was nothing obvious about it. Perhaps only by going deep into it can we discover the mystery of the ancient temple. But for now, the treasure is not much of a temptation for Zheng Nan.
What is really attractive are those sword marks. He wants to find something and see who left the marks, maybe the Ming Dynasty. Because the overall sense of this Digu Temple gave him a feeling of d¨¦j¨¤ vu. Is there some special traces of time in it?
"Are you interested in joining us?" Huo Yadong said straightforwardly. The main purpose of "inviting" Zheng Nan was for the "treasure". As for other things, such as meeting this "martial arts master" and exploring his connections, as of now, no useful information has been obtained.
"Oh?" Zheng Nan still didn't say anything, but she didn't reject it outright. She just focused on the three words "Digu Temple" and acted very calmly and casually.
Huo Yadong continued to "seduce": "If everything comes true and the treasure is obtained, I will give you a reward of 100 million, how about it?" In order to eliminate the suspicion that he used "money" to pressure others, he continued: "Of course, this time If the cooperation is successful, I think you are the candidate I am looking for. The door of Qinglong Club is open to you at any time, and you are welcome to join!"
"Really?" Zheng Nan then expressed a certain interest, and he said with a smile: "Since Gang Leader Huo loves this boy so much, then I won't be pretentious! Remuneration and joining the gang, for these two items, I They are all indeed interested, you see"
"Haha!" Huo Yadong laughed, and after a while he stepped back and said: "As long as you can handle this matter beautifully, I will promise you these two things!"
"Deal!" Zheng Nan responded happily. (To be continued
