Chapter Thirty-Three: Sincere Encounter

  Liáng Shān cannot exert himself forcefully; one move and his whole body becomes paralyzed. This little brat really knows how to pick the timing.

  The child clapped his hands, and a luxurious four-horse carriage "gently" appeared, with a team of black horses, tall and powerful, proudly blowing their noses.

  Liangshan let out a sigh in his heart, got on the horse cart, and beads of sweat appeared faintly on his forehead. He simply closed his eyes.

  The horse carriage traveled for about half a time, and after a series of "whoa" sounds, it came to a steady stop. Liangshan felt a bit better, but only recovered his usual energy. Liangshan remembered that the last episode lasted for two hours, and this time it would take at least one hour.

  Liáng Shān felt somewhat tense, people and movements outside the carriage were unclear to him, this feeling was terrible, just like a giant who could hold up a thousand jun suddenly turned into a weak child who couldn't even truss a chicken. Whoever it was would feel uncomfortable in their heart.

  Liangshan thought of the Heaven Mountain Nun from "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", who would shrink in size every few years, and now Liangshan was just waiting for that day to come.

  Liáng Shān was unaware that all of this was due to his cultivation of the "Bái Gǔ Jīng" (Scripture of White Bones).

  In this world, most of the disciples of the Xiu Zhen Men sect cultivate in a straightforward and smooth manner. Even if they encounter bottlenecks that last for a long time and cannot break through, they will not suddenly drop their realm. Only the "Baigu Jing" is like this, but few people know that such "repeated reversals" are actually the most effective way to temper one's mind.

  Liangshan got off the horse cart and pretended to be calm. Ah, in front of him was a large estate.

  It's still in the south of the city, but it gives people a sense of being in the suburbs. The phrase "the courtyard is deep" can't describe it, and it's actually built on a large piece of land inside the city, with earth piled up to form mountains. From a distance, each side measures more than four or five miles. How much labor did this require? Even Majiabao can't compare to it.

  When people enter it, they find themselves surrounded by deep forests and artificial mountains that seem to be natural. Every ten steps reveal a new scene, with beautiful scenery everywhere, and pavilions, kiosks, and courtyards are scattered throughout.

  Liang Shan walked slowly, taking deep breaths, his face calm and serene. Whoever could obtain the jade pendant and directly advance to the next level was certainly not an ordinary person without any background. Liang Shan had a plan in mind, and his expression became even more "unbridled".

  A group of people walked through a bamboo forest and suddenly found themselves in front of a hot spring, with water bubbling up from the ground, surrounded by swirling steam.

  Behind the hot spring pool is a three-story building with an attic, the upper floor for viewing, the middle floor for main residence, and the lower floor for receiving guests. The carved beams and painted rafters are majestic and magnificent, the eaves are raised, and the roof is covered with glazed tiles, all of which are painted with gold powder, showing the wealth and nobility of the world.

  The child went outside the door and knocked lightly, saying: "Master, the guest has arrived."

  "Please come in, Mr. Liang!" A lazy voice sounded, seemingly from a middle-aged man.

  The child made a welcoming gesture with his hands. Liangshan pushed open the door and stepped inside.

  It seems to be influenced by the nearby hot spring, or it has developed geothermal energy. The room is warm like spring. Liangshan Guanmen turns around and is about to bow his hands, but his mouth is wide open, seeing an incredible scene. He quickly turns around and pulls the door, saying: "Sorry, wrong place."

  "Haha! In the past, Liu Ling was carefree and unrestrained in his drinking, stripping naked in his house. When people saw him and ridiculed him, Ling said: 'I take the heavens and earth as my roof and walls, and my clothes as my trousers. Why do you gentlemen enter my trousers?' Liang Gongzi, surely you're not unfamiliar with this anecdote?"

  Liáng Shān's body stiffened for a moment, and he slapped his forehead.

  For three years, Liangshanzhuang has welcomed refugees from remote areas and Liangshan also has some understanding of the current fashion trends.

  Since the Wu Dynasty broke up, various countries have been evenly matched, and during wartime, it was chaotic like a human hell; but in peacetime, music and dance flourished, and everyone enjoyed themselves. Among them, the Confucian teachings of the hundred schools, Laozi's and Zhuangzi's esoteric discussions were the most fashionable among the upper class.

  To put it simply, in high-society activities, if you don't understand etiquette and the rituals of ruler-subject, father-son, elder-younger brother relationships, then you're just a country bumpkin, equivalent to those nouveau riche who pretend to be aristocrats; moreover, if you can't engage in clever and profound conversations with far-reaching implications, it's like only knowing how to drink cheap liquor but not being able to appreciate fine wine - that's also not considered a person of refinement.

  Liu Ling was one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, a famous drunkard who always carried a spade with him when he drank, saying that if he died from drunkenness wherever he was, he would be buried there; He liked to sit in his house, and when friends came to visit, their faces were red and their ears were hot. Liu Ling said the classic phrase "Why do you enter my pants?"

  This is the fashion of this era, and emulating and pursuing fashion is a universal problem throughout history.

  Liangshan turned around and saw the naked Nan Yang Wang. To be honest, he should be considered a standard handsome man when wearing brocade clothes, but being naked, with a big belly, really didn't have any aesthetic appeal.

  "Have met the King of Nanyang!" Liangshan suppressed a smile and bowed his hands.

  "Someone, help Young Master Liang loosen his clothes!" The King of Nanyang's tone was unexpectedly polite. With a wave of his hand, the attendants on either side pushed open the door and two girls came out. Without turning his head, Liang Shan knew from the corner of his eye that the girls were also completely naked, and his eyebrows suddenly jumped up.

  The girl who is extremely tempting to ordinary people, when walking, can be said to have a fragrant body that hits the nose. Unfortunately, in Liangshan's heart, she has become a pink skull, and there is also a slight unpleasant smell similar to fox charm on the tip of her nose.

  Liáng Shān waved his hand and said: "The King of Nanyang is accustomed to seeing people like this, but I am also used to seeing people in a more casual manner."

  Nanyang Wang gazed intently at Liangshan, as if trying to see through him. After a while, he clapped his hands and said, "Indeed, you are a true hero, for you remain unmoved by beauty!"

  "The White Bone Scripture" is indeed the number one divine scripture under heaven, but in Liangshan's heart, it was just a trick.

  Two young girls came to sit down next to the King of Nanyang, sitting elegantly with their jade-like legs crossed in front of Liangshan. Their faces showed disdain, but their hands did not stop, skillfully massaging the king's shoulders.

  Nanyang Wang made a please gesture, Liangshan sat down cross-legged, and two big men rushed out, moved a long table in front of Liangshan, with three large plates: one plate of gold, one plate of pearls and agate, and one plate was a certificate.

  "Open and take a look!"

  Liáng Shān opened the letter of introduction, which was a permit to exclusively sell salt and iron in Nanyang. Compared to gold, pearls, and agate, this permit was obviously more valuable.

  "How?"

  "No pay without work!" said Liangshan Road.

  Nanyang Wang raised an eyebrow and said, "Wang Quancai, the dog son, wants to take this test for the outer door disciple of Shengjian Hall, but he has no guarantee of winning. If you are willing to transfer the jade pendant, these are just deposits."

  "Sorry, I won't transfer!" Liangshan said immediately.

  "Oh?" The King of Nanyang glanced at Liangshan sideways and said: "I've heard of your Liang Family Village, as long as I'm willing..."

  "I heard there are five jade pendants in total." Liangshan immediately interrupted Nanyang Wang's words.

  The king of Nanyang furrowed his brow slightly.

  "Why doesn't the King of Nanyang start with the other four?" Liangshan smiled lightly. The King of Nanyang was obviously trying to intimidate and entice, but Liangshan wouldn't let him finish speaking, lest he weaken his momentum.

  "One is Shi Chong's son, Shi Hu; one is the third prince of Song, Liu Mingde; one is the little princess of Northern Wei, Tuoba Qiurong; and one is the genius of the Cui family from Central Plains, Cui Yingying. The remaining one is you." After saying this, the King of Nanyang smiled complacently. The five jade pendants "Flower Falling on Which Family" already knew a thing or two about it, but he actually knew everything.

  "What's it to you?" Liang Shan said with a faint smile.

  Nanyang Wang stared at Liangshan like a fool, then burst out laughing and said: "Liang Gongzi is indeed an interesting person, this is the most obvious truth. The four of them, I didn't dare to provoke any one of them, as for you...". As he spoke, Nanyang Wang sneered coldly, his face turning gloomy.

  "You know all four of them, but do you know me?" Liang Shan suddenly said.

  Nanyang Wang's expression changed slightly, and his heart skipped a beat. Indeed, these four people had obtained the jade pendant, and no one in the world dared to take it away from them.

  Liangshan Bo is a member of the Liang family from Xin Ye village, born into a poor household, seemingly a weakling, but how did he get the jade pendant? Something strange must be going on.

  Liáng Shān knew that Wáng from Nányáng was being deceived by himself, such a character must have a cunning and suspicious side, speaking too much would lead to mistakes. He stood up immediately and pretended to be generous, saying: "I accept these gifts!"

  Wang Nanyang heard this and was overjoyed, raising his head with a somewhat pleading expression: "You promise?"

  Liáng Shān shook his head.

  Wang Xin's heart sank again, and this person's two sentences made his heart flutter, indeed he was no ordinary person.

  "I'm making you a promise."

  "What promise?"

  "Once your son becomes an outer disciple, I will take care of him."

  Nanyang Wang was taken aback by the words, but Liangshan had already turned around, reciting: "Once you enter the immortal gate, it's as deep as the sea; from now on, father and son are just passersby." He pushed open the door and departed with a flourish.

  The King of Nanyang's face changed several times, his hand clenched around the cup, but he never put it down.
