Chapter 281 Deng Changting
Hou Jiangong is about forty years old. As Cui Yuan said, his cultivation level is about the third level of Qi refining. But because he is very short and skinny, he stands there without any momentum, just like a monkey that has become a spirit. His two eyes were so sharp that no one dared to underestimate them.
Next to Hou Jiangong, there is a monkey with black hair. It is at least twice as tall as an ordinary monkey. It has a strong body and a fierce look. Standing there, it seems that it is not much shorter than Hou Jiangong, especially its two arms. It looked thicker than his thighs. The combination of these two people does not look like a master and his captive monkeys at all, but like two brothers standing together.
This monkey should be the first-order iron-armed monkey raised by Hou Jiangong, right? The strength of a first-level monster is comparable to that of a monk in the early stage of Qi refining. With Hou Jiangong and this monster monkey, he is not afraid even if he encounters a newly promoted monk in the middle stage of Qi refining. No wonder he dares to go out to practice alone.
Qingyang and the others looked at Hou Jiangong up and down, and Hou Jiangong was also guessing the purpose of their visit. After a long time, Qingyang was about to talk about his purchase of Hou'er Spirit Wine. Suddenly, two more people barged in directly from outside Hou Jiangong's yard.
The visitors were two young men, both in their early thirties. The leader was dressed like a young man, with gorgeous clothes and a third-level Qi refining level. His eyes were arrogant, and he seemed to have a good status. The one in the back is at the first level of Qi Refining, and he is dressed in bunting. Judging from the way he follows the person in front, he is obviously a follower.
Then Hou Jiangong couldn't help but be stunned, what day is it today? In this small courtyard of his, no one usually comes to the door for three to five months. Why are there so many people coming here today? Could it be that something big happened in the sect that he didn't know about? Or maybe someone is looking for trouble for you?
After the young master entered the door, he ignored Qingyang and others beside him, but directly said to Hou Jiangong: "Are you Hou Jiangong? I heard that you have a jar of monkey spirit wine here?"
Hearing that the other party was after the jar of Monkey Spirit Wine, Hou Jiangong breathed a sigh of relief. He was not looking for trouble, so he said: "It turns out to be Senior Brother Deng from Deng Changting. I do have a jar of Monkey Spirit Wine here. Senior Brother Deng is so grateful." interest?"
The man opposite Deng Changting seemed to be quite famous in the outer courtyard. Not only Hou Jiangong knew him, but also Cui Yuan and Tian Shengcai recognized him and introduced him to Qingyang in a low voice.
Seeing that the other party knew him, Deng Changting said carelessly: "Yes, that's fine. I won't bother you. I want the jar of monkey spirit wine. You can give me a price."
Hou Jiangong didn't want to discuss business in front of so many outsiders, so he turned to Qingyang and others. If these people didn't have anything important to do, he would send them away first, and then talk about business. So he asked: "How many of you are there?" What's the matter with you?"
Qingyang didn't expect anyone to compete with him for the monkey wine. It seemed that there were twists and turns in this matter, but everyone was here, so he couldn't even dare to say what he was here for, so he smiled and said : "Senior Brother Hou, we are also here to ask about Hou'er Spiritual Wine."
After listening to Qingyang's words, Hou Jiangong couldn't help but hesitate a little. He thought Qingyang was looking for him for other reasons, but he didn't know that it was also because of the monkey spirit wine. This wine was sold in the market for many days, and then kept at home for several months. No one cared about it. Unexpectedly, two groups of people came today, and the monkey spirit wine suddenly became like this. It's in demand.
Although Deng Changting asked first, Qingyang and others came earlier. According to the principle of first come, first served, the wine should be sold to Qingyang. But Deng Changting was not someone to be trifled with and should not be offended easily. What's more, the two of them came from behind, and Deng Changting asked first.
Hearing that Qingyang also wanted to buy the monkey spirit wine, Deng Changting didn't want to wait for Hou Jiangong to say anything. He frowned and looked at Qingyang and said, "What? You want to snatch this monkey spirit wine from me?"
Deng Changting's attitude was very unkind, which made Qingyang feel very disgusted. However, he was no longer in the second grade of middle school, and it was impossible for him to fall out because of the other party's bad attitude. What needed to be considered now was whether he still wanted the Monkey Spirit Wine. , is there any need to offend a strong man over a jar of wine?
Qingyang did not answer immediately, which made Deng Changting look very unhappy. The follower behind him stepped forward and said with an arrogant look: "Looking at you, it seems that you have not heard of Senior Brother Deng. Don’t you want me to tell you now?”
Seeing that the other party was about to go crazy, Cui Yu'an next to him quickly whispered: "Junior Brother Qingyang, you entered the outer courtyard relatively late, so you may not know very well. This is the top tyrant of our outer courtyard, and his uncle is responsible for the daily affairs of the disciples in our outer courtyard. Uncle Deng, if this spiritual wine is not necessary, why not give it to him."
Uncle Deng, who is responsible for the daily management of the outer courtyard, had dealt with Qingyang and Lu Dingshan when they first entered the outer courtyard, and it was he who distributed a token of supplies to the two of them. In the area of the outer courtyard, except for the chief Qingxin Sanren, Uncle Deng's power can be ranked among the top three. No wonder Deng Changting is so arrogant. It turns out that he has a foundation-building expert as his backer.
It's not worth offending such a person for a jar of spiritual wine. Later, I can ask Hou Jiangong to see if I can get Hou'er Spirit Wine again. Thinking of this, Qingyang was about to retreat. He did not feel that it would be embarrassing to retreat at this time. He smiled and said: "Since Senior Brother Deng is determined to win, then I will give this jar of Monkey Spirit Wine to Senior Brother."
Deng Changting seemed to have expected that Qingyang would be this choice. There was no extraneous matter. He just muttered in a low voice and said: "You know what you are doing!"
Hou Jiangong breathed a sigh of relief as he watched a dispute disappear. Neither side was easy to mess with. Deng Changting was not to be mentioned. The other two people were promoted to the outer courtyard at a young age. Who knew if they had backers who were difficult to mess with? If the two sides had a conflict over a jar of spiritual wine, it was hard to guarantee that they would not vent their anger on him in the future.
Seeing Qingyang take the initiative to give up, he gave Qingyang a grateful look, and then took out a clay-sealed wine jar from the object-receiving talisman. The wine jar was about one foot high, slightly larger than the jars of the Hundred Flowers Wine that Qingyang bought at the beginning. The faint aroma of wine spread out, making people drunk.
Qingyang also planned to inquire about the origin of the Monkey Spirit Wine when no one was around, so he did not leave. He took a deep sniff with his nose, and then compared this Monkey Spirit Wine with the spiritual wines he had bought before. This wine was much better than the Hundred Flowers Wine at the beginning, but it was still slightly worse than Lingtai Old Wine and Wulingchun. Maybe it’s because it’s young. If it could be stored in my own Drunken Immortal Gourd for a while, the effect might be better.
