Chapter 114: Six Fingers!
Back then, that alchemist told Wang Chong a lot of anecdotes about alchemy. The reason why Wang Chong noticed this "Liuzhizhang" was because of something he was about to do in a few years.
Because the life in the palace is extremely boring, it is even more boring when refining alchemy. "Liu Zhizhang"'s gambling character became worse after he became an alchemist, and he was out of control, and owed a few years later. The next sky-high usury loan.
In order to pay back the money, Liuzhizhang actually lowered the threshold and took the initiative to introduce a "rich businessman" in the capital to join the secret group of alchemists.
The smuggling of alchemists from the imperial palace and palace is originally an extremely secret matter, and it must not be known to outsiders. But that "big businessman" is not someone who can keep a secret.
Later, because of this "big merchant", the secret smuggling of pills by alchemists was finally exposed, which directly led to the death of this alchemist.
From this point of view, this "Liuzhizhang" is actually a poor man, because his future fate is already doomed, if he does not intervene.
"It's a pity, it's not a few years away now. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so troublesome at all, and it would be easy to enter the secret group of alchemists."
Through the window of the carriage, Wang Chong looked at "Liuzhizhang" walking slowly outside, and thought to himself.
The secret groups of alchemists are notoriously guarded, with high barriers to entry and difficult to enter. A few years later, when that incident happened, Wang Chong only had to pay a sum of money on behalf of that wealthy businessman, and he could easily squeeze into this group and obtain a continuous supply of pills.
But now, nothing has happened yet, and "Liu Zhi Zhang" may not be as easy to talk to as in his previous life, nor may he provide Wang Chong with such a good opportunity.
But at this moment, Wang Chong didn't have much choice.
Among all alchemists, this "Six Finger Zhang" is undoubtedly the best and easiest to obtain. This is the only chance for Wang Chong to upgrade his root bone to the tiger bone level in a short period of time.
By squeezing into this secret group of alchemists one day earlier, Wang Chong would be able to obtain a steady stream of pills from it earlier. Even if it wasn't for the sake of "Brave God Energy", this secret group of alchemists was definitely what Wang Chong wanted.
Enter a few years earlier, and get substantial benefits a few years earlier!
"Whether we can squeeze into this alchemist's secret group or not depends on now."
A thought flashed through Wang Chong's mind,
He quickly opened the carriage door with a bang and walked out. In just a moment, Wang Chong caught up with "Liu Zhi Zhang".
"Taoist, juniors are being polite!"
In front of "Liuzhizhang", Wang Chong stopped, smiled, and bowed in salute.
"Buzz!"
"Liuzhizhang", who had been slacking just now, seemed extremely relaxed when he heard the word "Taoist", his whole body seemed to be stabbed, and in an instant, his face changed suddenly.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Liuzhizhang seemed to be a completely different person. His pupils shrank and his whole body tightened up, like a fully drawn bow. He was in a state of accumulating power. He showed a strong sense of hostility and guard against Wang Chong. It seemed that as long as Wang Chong If Chong said something wrong, he might make a move.
"Taoist", "Taoist", in the Central Earth Continent, only when a layman meets an alchemist, will he be honored as a "Taoist". For "Liuzhizhang", Wang Chong's words already revealed too much information.
Liu Zhizhang's instinctive reaction was, has his secret smuggling of pills from the palace and palace been exposed?
"These groups of alchemists are really difficult to get close to!"
Wang Chong's heart also changed slightly.
Among all alchemists, Liuzhizhang is already very easy to deal with. But as soon as he heard the word "Taoist", his whole face changed. Compared with other alchemists, he was very wary and difficult to approach.
"Taoist, there is no need to misunderstand. Wang Chong has no other intentions. I just want to ask the alchemist for a elixir."
Wang Chong said with a smile.
"How do you know I'm a Taoist?"
"Liuzhizhang" ignored Wang Chong's words, and just focused on the word "Taoist". He really wanted to know how Wang Chong discovered his identity.
"Hehe, the nose isn't broken, how could even the Taoist not recognize it?"
Wang Chong smiled slightly and made a light sniffing motion.
Liu Zhizhang's complexion changed, he grabbed his sleeves tightly, and sniffed hard, and sure enough, he smelled a strong smell of medicinal pills. Alchemists have been dealing with pill furnaces and pills for a long time, and this smell cannot escape.
"I see."
Liuzhizhang felt relieved, and his face looked much better.
"Stop talking, I won't make alchemy for you."
The six fingers are cold and cold, as if rejecting people thousands of miles away. Finding that Wang Chong didn't find out that they were secretly selling medicines from the imperial palace and palace, Liu Zhi Zhang felt less wary than before.
After Liuzhizhang said this, he didn't say anything, ignored Wang Chong, and got up to leave.
"Wait a minute, Master Dao, whether Master Tao is willing or not, I will give a gift to Master Tao."
"Gift? Huh, you are a little doll, what gift can you give me?"
Liuzhizhang snorted coldly and snorted.
"The Taoist will know it after looking at it."
Wang Chong smiled and gestured behind him. Shen Hai brought up a brocade box prepared in advance.
"Hmph, playing tricks..."
"Liuzhizhang" opened the brocade box, cursed, with a look of contempt on his face. But the next moment, seeing the golden light coming out of the brocade box, "Liuzhizhang" looked suffocated, and was speechless for a while.
Gold, at least two or three thousand taels of gold!
"Liuzhizhang" looked at Wang Chong in surprise, as if meeting him for the first time. These two or three thousand taels of gold are not something a child can take out casually.
"Master Dao, this is a wish from this junior. Please accept it, Master Dao."
Wang Chong smiled slightly. After saying this, without waiting for Liu Zhizhang to respond, he immediately led Shen Hai and Meng Long back the same way, got into the carriage, and disappeared on the street.
Leaving Liu Zhizhang standing on the street, holding two or three thousand taels of gold, speechless in a daze.
"What exactly is going on?"
Six Fingers looked at the back of Wang Chong's carriage, feeling confused. I have never seen anything like this before, without saying anything, without getting anything, leaving two or three thousand taels of gold, and leaving without saying a word.
"Hey, strange things happen every year, especially this year. Some people give gold, don't I dare not accept it?"
A greedy look flashed across Liuzhizhang's eyes, and he quickly put away the gold that Wang Chong gave him. He risked his life to smuggle pills from the imperial palace and other palaces together with others for the sake of profit.
Some people give gold for free and don't want anything, why doesn't he want it?
"Exactly, I haven't been to the casino for a long time. The gold is enough for me to spend."
Liuzhizhang stopped a carriage and went straight to the casino.
...
"Young master, since I wanted to give it to you just now, why didn't you give him some more?"
At the same time, in the carriage, Shen Hai looked at his young master with doubts on his face. The young master has always been generous in his work, and thousands of dollars can buy horse bones.
Thousands of taels of gold, tens of thousands of taels of gold are nothing to him!
Last time, for the Hyderabad ore, the young master paid tens of thousands of taels of gold to Aluojia and Aluo Nuo. Nowadays, facing an alchemist, one shouldn't be so "stingy".
Two or three thousand taels of gold is really not in line with his style.
"Hehe, I am willing to give tens of thousands of taels of gold, but he also needs to be willing to accept it! Doesn't that mean that we have huge plans for him?"
Wang Chong laughed.
"this!……"
The two were startled, and were stunned for a while.
Wang Chong smiled and didn't say much. The special group of alchemists like "Six Fingers Zhang" are very careful, vigilant, and on guard. It is definitely not easy to break into their group.
When you meet for the first time, just make a good impression. Otherwise, go too far.
"Meng Long, I want you to get the document. Have you got it yet?"
Wang Chong asked abruptly.
"Got it."
Meng Long nodded, opened a file, and handed it over:
"Near Bi Luo Pavilion, there are six gambling houses in total, three small ones, two medium ones, and one largest one."
"What's the name of the biggest casino?"
Wang Chong did not go to pick up the file.
"Golden Sky Casino!"
Meng Long said:
"Golden Sky Casino..."
Wang Chong frowned. He had the impression that this place was a gambling house controlled by Goguryeo people.
In his previous life, Wang Chong was very curious about who could force a distinguished alchemist with a special status to such a point, violate the rules, and introduce a wealthy businessman into his group.
If there were no special reasons, "Liuzhizhang" might not have taken such a risk.
However, if the target is those Goguryeo people, then all this can be fully explained.
Goguryeo people are typical desperadoes, they are fierce, aggressive, and fearless. The alchemist status of "Liuzhizhang" is effective for others, but it may not be effective for these desperadoes.
Everyone knew that Wang Chong used to hang out in the dandy circle. You can hang out wherever you want, but don't go to the wineries, gambling houses, teahouses, Goulan controlled by the Goguryeo people...
Not only because the Goguryeo people are fierce, aggressive, and unruly, but more importantly, these people are also related to another dreadful force in the Tang Dynasty, the "Gaoguryeo Warrior Group", or the "Koguryo Assassin Group" .
It is common sense not to get involved with the Goguryeo people. But obviously, "Liuzhizhang", a alchemist, didn't understand.
The alchemists in the imperial palace and palace, relying on their status, must choose the most magnificent positions. Wang Chong didn't even need to think about it, he could be sure that the one picked by the six-finger Zhang Zhang must be the Jintian Casino, and it happened to be a casino controlled by Goguryeo people.
"Shen Hai, Meng Long, you follow him these few days. I will let A Luo Jia and A Luo Nuo assist you! If you encounter him in danger, help save him. No matter what, don't let him get hurt. "
While Wang Chong was thinking, he tapped the window with his right index finger and said:
"In addition, there are more than 20,000 taels of gold in the carriage. If the situation is urgent and you need money, you can give it to the alchemist at any time. If it is not enough, you can ask Aluojia to come to the mansion to get it. There is no limit!"
"what!"
Shen Hai and Meng Long were shocked when they heard that there was no limit. Knowing that the young master would not easily fall in love with anyone, the ones he has a crush on are generally extraordinary.
But the two of them didn't expect that Wang Chong would attach so much importance to that alchemist.
"Yes, master! We must complete the task!"
The two lowered their heads and said immediately.
"Well, take your badges and show them when necessary, so as not to get into trouble! Go!"
Wang Chong waved his hand and said.
Troubled people always attract trouble like a magnet. A "alchemist" who likes to gamble, and a Goguryeo man controls the gambling house. Wang Chong has already seen a conflict not far away.
Wang Chong knew his own cultivation, so there was absolutely no need for him to join in the excitement of this conflict. It is enough to have Shen Hai, Meng Long, and A Luo Jia and A Luo Nuo to replace him.
With this thought in his mind, Wang Chong left Biluo Pavilion!
