Chapter 22: Liang Ziqiang said, "Item"

  Deep in the night, the three great signboards stood shoulder to shoulder. Wu Tu and Mo Ling both looked up at the sky. The dark sky had a huge paper kite hovering in mid-air with its wings spread wide.

  Kite is a kite, strangely, neither of them was holding the string.

  Mo Ling was sixteen years old, with two buns, wearing a pink dress, shorter than Wu Tu by one head, looking delicate and lovely, with big and strange eyes. If Liangshan saw her, he would definitely think she was the girl version of Zhao Wei.

  "Ah Tu, my paper kite can be made well!" Mo Ling clapped her hands and said, her face red with excitement.

  "Miss's things have always been the best." Wu Tu showed a faint smile.

  Mohe Workshop is the most famous workshop in the world. Among the 72 professions in the world, people's boundaries are divided into techniques, craftsmanship, and Taoism. If a song ends, officials, kings, merchants, and pedestrians all cover their faces and cry, then the song is close to Taoism. The products of Mohe Workshop are at least at the level of craftsmanship, many have reached the realm of Taoism, and can be called a gathering of masters.

  The Mo family behind the ink workshop is a Mo family. The Mo family believes in non-aggression and love, by later standards, it's a group of world peace and green environmentalists. Where there is aggression, regardless of race or place, as long as there are Mo family members nearby, they will definitely stand on the side of the attacked party and defend the city for them.

  Mozi is different from many other schools of thought, being very practical. Defending against aggression, it does not advocate for the use of eloquent speeches like the School of Diplomacy, but instead uses war to stop war. Therefore, Mozi's defense is renowned throughout the world. The Mozi school only makes shields, not spears, this is their ancestral tradition.

  Mo Ling is extremely talented and is the youngest daughter of a prominent Mo family. However, due to the Mo family's emphasis on equality, Mo Ling didn't receive any special treatment. After graduating from Mo Academy, she was sent to a remote location in Ma Family Fortress for training.

  The three Wu brothers have been relying on the Mo family's workshop since they were young, but ten years ago, due to a disaster, they left the Mo family and fled to Jingzhou. Mo Ling was very close to the three Wu brothers when he was young, and this time they met unexpectedly, and he was extremely delighted.

  Because it involved Mo's family secrets, Wu Tu did not hand over Liangshan to him.

  The Mohist practice has two paths: mechanical and fu repair. Mechanical naturally includes various manual tools, such as the famous Zhuge Kongming lantern and wooden horse, as well as engineering projects like Li Bing's father-son duo Jiangduyan, which can be used for daily trivialities or cleverly rival heavenly craftsmanship. Fu repair is similar to the Taoist talisman school, but has its own system.

  The three Wu brothers also knew a little about Fu Xi, so that night, Wu Tu recognized the grave of Ma Wenxiu and applied the Fu Tu. Mechanics and Fu Xi complement each other, Mozi disciples have specialized in repairing, more are both repaired. Now the paper kite in the sky, without a line relying on the wind, can't fly up, the symbol is the finishing touch, at the heart of the paper kite, use cinnabar to draw a symbol, its shape is like the heart of a bird. With this symbol, the paper kite is equivalent to having the power of heartbeat, able to fly in the air.

  Mo Ling Fu had already reached the Three-Linked Symbol Realm, and with one stroke of his brush on the paper kite's heart, eyes, and mouth, he drew a set of symbols. This way, not only could the paper kite fly in the sky, but it could also see its surroundings, and the symbol on its mouth would tell Mo Ling what it saw when it landed.

  The most powerful can be a nine-connected symbol in one stroke, this is the top master. Of course, the material used can also divide the boundary. Like the three Wu brothers who will paint symbols, but using cinnabar is not allowed, they must use their own fresh blood, which is the worst among the Mo family children. The medium is Mo Ling using cinnabar, and the powerful ones directly use clear water or even virtual dots to paint symbols. This level of Mo family master can be compared to the golden elixir period masters who have transcended the world through cultivation.

  Mo Ling waved her hand, and the paper kite spread its wings and flew away from Ma's Fort, flying far into the distance.

  Suddenly, a "ta-ta" sound came from afar, Wu Tu's face changed, and he said: "The young master of our house has come out!"

  Mo Ling said: "You'd better go quickly." Looking at Wu Tu's back, Mo Ling's face was calm and quiet, muttering to herself: "Who is this Liangshan Bo, that Ah Tu wants to rely on him?"

  Mo Ling's jade hand made a gesture in the air, and the paper kite suddenly dropped from the sky into her hand. The smooth jade earrings bounced, and her face changed color as she hastily turned around and returned to the Mo workshop.

  Liáng Shān was dragged away by Zhū Dà Chāng, and Kāng Shū called Wú Tǔ to follow. Wú Tǔ followed to Xún Fāng Lóu but didn't dare go in. Later, he saw Mǎ Wén Cái bringing the young mistress hastily, Wú Tǔ was greatly anxious, but couldn't enter to report and had to hide, unexpectedly running into Mò Líng whom he hadn't seen for many years.

  "Have you seen Madame Xiao?" Wu Tu's face turned red with embarrassment for not reporting in time.

  "Everything is fine with Young Mistress, tomorrow we will formally visit Ma Wencai." Liang Shan said with a nod.

  It was a quiet night, and on the second day at around 10:00 in the morning, he came out of Qingyulou after visiting Ma Wencui.

  Liáng Shān sat inside for half an hour, and Mǎ Wén Cái only brewed tea to entertain him, which was much more polite than the previous two times. As soon as Liáng Shān asked about Zhù Qīng Yún's matter, Mǎ Wén Cái evaded the question and finally dodged it with a sentence "A country has its laws, a family has its rules".

  Leaving Liangshan, the sky was filled with thunderous roars. Before long, the sky turned completely dark. Hurrying back to the Four Seas Inn, a torrential downpour came pouring down, rain pounding against the window lattice, making a loud clattering sound.

  The rainstorm came suddenly, and Yin Shangzi opened his eyes wide on the couch.

  Yin Shangzi felt a thrilling and terrifying feeling in her heart.

  Last night, the awakening of Gui Wang ended in complete failure. After descending the mountain, Yin Shangzi had a bad feeling all along. Now, with the sudden heavy rain... Even a rural scholar like him would have some knowledge of astronomy, let alone a cultivator like him, yet there was no sign at all. Is this heaven warning him about capturing Xiaonu Zhu Yingtai?

  Anyway, Yu Tai is guilty of violating the law against theft, and Yin Shangzi does not think he himself was wrong.

  Rustic people, either because of their past life or because they coincidentally have some skills due to the spirits and monsters in the mountains, are viewed by ordinary people as immortals, but in reality, they are tens of thousands of miles away from real immortals. Yin Shangzi was curious about how Zhu Yingtai had successfully built her foundation, and her light body technique and hiding technique were also formidable. Yin Shangzi also wanted to know the secrets behind them, but it was just curiosity, far from being "greedy". As a member of the Xuanmen Orthodox School, how could Yin Shangzi be greedy for these rough and unsophisticated things from the countryside?

  Yin Shangzi may have looked up to Zhu Yingtai, but in essence she was no different from a rural witch or the ghosts and spirits of a lewd temple.

  Yin Shangzi had forgotten that there was a "Xianren Shoujing" clause. It wasn't that he forgot, but because this kind of opportunity was too rare, even the Sacred Sword Hall didn't have anyone who had experienced it.

  The world's cultivation of truth takes leaving the world as its main goal. The "hall" is the lowest organization for cultivating truth, and the mountain gate is hidden from the world. Generally, it is presided over by those who have achieved the perfection of the golden elixir, and are often referred to as earthly immortals. Above the hall is the sect, such as a certain sect. In the world, there are basically no mountain gates to be found, and the core disciples' cultivation takes place in what people call "blessed lands". The presiding person is called a human immortal. Above the sect is the school gate, which is what people call "cave heaven". The presiding person is called a heavenly immortal. In total, there are two schools: the Mysterious Gate and the Illusory Gate. The former takes clarity as its primary goal, while the latter takes illusion as its foundation. One school has three sects, one sect has three halls, so there are eighteen cultivation halls left in the world.

  Yin Shangzi never thought that Zhu Yingtai was taught by a heavenly immortal in her dream, and she was a personally transmitted disciple. If he had known this, he wouldn't have dared to make things difficult for her even if he had a million guts.

  After dinner, it was still raining heavily without any sign of stopping. Liangshan and the others were discussing in the house.

  Before long, a loud voice was heard outside: "Where is my virtuous nephew? Where is my virtuous nephew?"

  That's Liang Ziqiang's voice.

  Someone knocked on the door immediately outside, knocking and saying "Shan Bo, I'm your uncle."

  Liangshan glanced at Wu Tu, who hastily went to open the door.

  Liang Ziqiang stepped into the house, his robes covered in large patches of water stains. He glanced at Liang Kang and the others, and laughed loudly: "Noble nephew, great wealth and prosperity have arrived!"

  "What's the matter?"

  "Clear the surroundings."

  Liang Ziqiang mostly came from Ma Wencai's side, it's good, just in time to hear what price he quotes.

  "Kang Shu, you all go ahead and get busy."

  When he saw that there was no one else in the room, Liang Ziqiang walked over and sat down by himself. He pulled out a letter from his sleeve and opened it, saying: "Shan Boxian, nephew, you just have to write this exactly as it is, sign your name, and Xiaoniu Mountain Yang Village will be yours. The new county will immediately issue the land deed for you, plus 1,000 taels of silver, and I can also recommend you to enter officialdom in the county. How about that? This kind of condition is hard to find even with a lantern!

  Liáng Shān scanned it and saw the two words "divorce letter". Could it be that Mǎ Wén Cái wanted to divorce Zhù Yīng Tái?! Liáng Shān's anger flared up suddenly.

  "Take it away, I won't agree."

  "Good nephew, if you don't agree, it will be a calamity for your wife."

  Liang Shan's face turned cold and he didn't say a word.

  "Know that if you steal one or two taels, cut off one arm. Alas, the Twelve Consecutive Caves have been stolen of silver, how can it be just a hundred or a thousand? Once the law is clear and punishment is meted out, your wife will surely die."

  This is a naked threat. In other words, if you don't want to settle privately, then take the judicial route. By that time, it will be too late for regrets.

  "Ma's family is led by the elders, with Confucianism as their ethics and law as their discipline. Without these, how can they convince others? Mr. Ma also pitied Ying Tai's life, if you write a divorce letter to sever relations, and Ying Tai remarries into the Ma family, then her past theft would be like taking things from her own home, just a joke, no one would take it seriously."

  Liáng Shān snorted with cold laughter, indeed a good calculation.

  "Good nephew." Liang Ziqiang's expression changed, and he said: "You're a clever person. If you don't agree, the Ma family will use Zhuo Yingtai as leverage, and in the end, it'll be a mess, with nothing left for anyone."

  "Get out!" Liang Shan shouted.

  "Who? Don't you know better?!"

  "Get out!" Liang Shan was afraid he couldn't hold back and beat up Liang Zi Qiang again.

  Liang Ziqiang stood up, his hands shaking as he pointed at Liangshan, saying: "You will regret this!"

  "Tell Ma Wencai that my family's Yuetai is a fairy from the clouds, he's just a pile of stinky ****, and he's not even worthy of holding my family's Yuetai's shoes!"

  "Alright, since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. You just wait!" As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Ziqiang opened the door and saw Wu Tu and Wu Huo, two brothers, standing with their arms crossed, glaring at each other. He lifted his robe and ran, but didn't expect Wu Huo to stretch out a leg and kick him flying far away. His front teeth were knocked out on the spot, and he didn't dare curse again. He scrambled up and ran away in a sorry state.

  Qingyu Building, Ma Wenzai's main hall.

  With a loud "bang", Ma Wencai slammed a blue porcelain cup to the ground and said, "Did he really say that?!"

  "Yes! That's what he said!" Liang Ziqiang was soaked from head to toe after struggling back and forth.

  "You dare to deceive me!" Ma Wencai angrily said, with a burst of blue veins on his forehead, actually comparing him to a stinky egg!

  Ma Wenzai stepped forward one step, and with a wave of his hand towards Liang Ziqiang, the latter hastily retreated.

  "Mr. Xiao, does he not want to live?" Ma Wencai's face was full of fierce and stern expression.

  Mr. Xiao smiled mysteriously and said, "He will write it."
