Volume 2: Earthly Experience Chapter 54: Jianghu Inn
After arranging all this, Wang looked inward at the fire spirit in his body.
This little guy is still sleeping, I guess I won't be able to borrow its power for a while...
Thinking of this, Wang Bing opened his mobile phone and logged into Quan Xing's APP to see if there was any information about the water elf.
While searching, Wang Bing soon found an interesting task.
This is a hiring notice that requires someone to carry out sabotage, and the goal is very interesting: to disrupt the succession ceremony of the Xingjiao Temple in Xi'an.
(Generally speaking, as long as there is a temple, there is an abbot. The abbot can only be found in large-scale temples. The abbot can serve in multiple temples, but the abbot cannot. Therefore, as a representative of Buddhism, Master Jiekong should be the abbot. After he resigned from Shaolin, he became the abbot of Lingyin Temple...)
As to why a small succession ceremony would be targeted.
The reason is very simple, because the person who succeeded as the abbot of Xingjiao Temple was Monk Jie Yun.
Yes! He was the one who stopped the wizards in Tengchong. After he failed and returned to Shaolin Temple, he took the initiative to give up the position of Shaolin abbot and went to Xingjiao Temple to serve as the abbot.
"It seems that Monk Jie Yun is hated by many wizards..."
Just as Wang Bing was muttering to himself, it suddenly showed that the task had been accepted. Wang Bing was a little curious. Who was so quick to grab it as soon as the order was placed?
Ding-a-ling!
The next moment, Wang Bing's cell phone rang. He looked carefully and saw the three words "Xia Liuqing" written on the caller ID.
What does this old guy want from me?
Wang Bing was slightly startled, then answered the phone, "Mr. Xia, what a wind is blowing today, how come you still have time to think of contacting me?"
"Stop talking to me, little brat!"
Xia Liuqing asked unhappily, "Would you like to go to Xi'an with me, the old man, when you have time?"
!!!!
Wang Bing opened his eyes slightly, "Could it be that you are the one who will take on the task of disrupting the ceremony of the people at Xingjiao Temple?"
“That’s right!”
Xia Liuqing said calmly: "I have some grudges with the bald donkey from Xingjiao Temple, and I'm going to take this mission to resolve it, so I'm asking if you want to go!"
"What can I get?" Wang Bing asked decisively.
He now understood that when dealing with Quan Xing and his gang, he had to get benefits first, and stay out of things that had no benefits.
There is no such thing as friendship! If you make friends with him, he will stab you in the back!
“…”
Even Xia Liuqing was slightly stunned. Is this guy so direct that he asks for benefits from him right away?
Originally, he was planning to see if he could take advantage of this kid's innocence and get him to work for him for free.
“Do you know Buddhist relics?”
After thinking for a moment, Xia Liuqing pretended to be serious and said, "If you come with me this time, the Buddha's bone relic will be yours! I have another guy here, and he seems to be very interested in stealing..."
Before Xia Liuqing finished speaking, a man's voice came from Wang Bing's phone, "Hey! Xia, your words are too hurtful!"
This way of speaking, this pronunciation... a foreigner? Wang Bing immediately started brainstorming.
"Barron, you foreigner...is what I said, old man, wrong?" Xia Liuqing retorted.
Oh! It turned out to be Barron!
Wang Bing instantly recalled some information about Barron. This guy seemed to be the owner of the Eight Wonders and Six Treasury Immortal Thief. He was over fifty years old, but still looked like he was in his twenties or thirties.
But this guy is now involved with Xia Liuqing?
"good!"
Wang Bing agreed, "Once you have arranged the time and place to meet, just send it to me directly, and we can meet to discuss the details then!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Bing was a little speechless. He didn't expect to meet Barron so soon.
To be honest, Wang Bing had a headache before, wondering what to do with Chen Duo after he really took her away from the company.
After all, this girl is full of poison. If you force her to hold it back and not let her release the poison in her body, her final outcome will not be good.
It would be different if there was a Six-Storey Immortal Thief...
Thinking of this, Wang Bing put on his coat, put on his human skin mask again, left the hotel, and boarded a plane to Xi'an...
Xi'an.
It is one of the capitals with the most dynasties, the longest duration and the greatest influence in history.
If we were to say who is the biggest local boss here, it would definitely be Jianghu Xiaozhan.
Jianghu Xiaozhan is the largest known non-governmental intelligence agency in the country. They have a large number of alien spies and ordinary informants.
The current shopkeeper, Mu Yougeng, is a very resourceful man. Even the company or the four companies treat him with courtesy.
As for how many masters there were in Jianghu Inn, Wang Bing had no idea.
He only knew that Jianghu Inn, in addition to buying and selling information, also undertook businesses such as escorting, storing goods, and auctioning valuables.
Although the old man Xia Liuqing had made an appointment to meet him, Wang Bing still wanted to go to Jianghu Inn to do some business first.
It is very lively at the moment in the West Market. Many people are setting up stalls here, and there are all kinds of decorations on the stalls.
Ignoring these small vendors, Wang Bing went straight to a hotel. When he looked up, he saw that the hotel still maintained the architectural style of an ancient restaurant.
When the waiter at the door saw Wang Bing , he also asked enthusiastically: "Hello, how many people are you?"
"One person! I want a private room!" Wang Bing said.
"Okay! Please come in..."
After the waiter signaled Wang Bing to come in, he shouted to the hall, "A private room!"
Soon a waitress walked into the hall and took Wang Bing upstairs into a private room.
After Wang Bing sat down, he looked at the waitress and said, "Please help me call your manager. I want him to help me build a bridge!"
Building bridges is a kind of jargon in the underworld, which means that you don’t need to do anything, just provide information...
Hearing this, the waitress nodded, said nothing, and walked out, not forgetting to close the door when she left.
After a while, a middle-aged man in Tang suit knocked on the door and walked in.
"Hello!"
Wang Bing stood up to greet him, shook hands with the middle-aged man, and then the two sat down together.
"What's the name of this shopkeeper?" Wang Bing asked.
"I am not the shopkeeper. There is only one shopkeeper in this inn! You can just call me Manager Chen! May I know your name, sir?" Manager Chen said with a smile.
"My last name is Zhong, Zhong Ming! Manager Chen, this is it..."
Wang Bing paused and said, "I came to the inn this time to trouble you to help me find out some information."
"What news?" asked Manager Chen.
"Recently I've been looking for some treasures with water attributes..."
Wang Bing hesitated and said, "Anything is fine, even an elf is fine, the only requirement is that the quality must be good, preferably a magic weapon level, what do you think..."
Manager Chen's face darkened when he heard this. He said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhong, it's a bit difficult for you to make this request!"
