lord of all phenomena

Chapter 54 Xu Qingteng

Gu Qing said: "Maybe it's because there are more vegetarians recently."

Du Qi nodded and said, "No wonder you don't have any smell."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "It seems that the seventh brother has gained a lot from this retreat, and his sense of smell is much sharper than before."

Du Qi smiled reservedly, waved his hands and said, "Small progress is not worth boasting about."

It's just that anyone can see the pride in his heart.

Du Qi then said to He Qing: "Brother He, I invited Master Xu to come today. I'll go out to see if Master Xu is here."

When Du Qi went downstairs, He Qing pulled Gu Qing to the corner and whispered: "It seems that Du Qi specially prepared this banquet for Xu Zhizhou today, and we are all supporting."

Gu Qing asked softly: "Brother He, do you know why he invited Xu Zhizhou?"

He Qing replied in a low voice: "Master Xu is also surnamed Xu. Since Du Qi has his own plans, I'd better explain some things to you now."

"Xu refers to Tianxiang Club?"

"That's right. Xu Zhizhou was a descendant of the Xu family in his early years, but he didn't have a good relationship with the main family. Because he was an orphan and widowed, he was often bullied."

"Brother Seven is also interested in Tianxianghui, so do you want to join forces with Xu Zhizhou?"

Gu Qing thought of the conflict between Du Qi and the second young lady of the Tianxiang Society during the auction of the Red Society that day.

"You still don't understand that the way of resolving conflicts in the practice world is actually not that complicated. Duqi made friends with Xu Zhizhou to deal with the aftermath, not to borrow strength."

"I really don't understand the way of doing things in the practice world."

"In the world of practice, conspiracies and tricks are the icing on the cake. In fact, it is better than anyone else's fist. Whether it is Yu Donglou or Ding Dianyu's death, it is essentially a challenge to the heavens. Duqi at this time The big fanfare to invite Xu Zhizhou, who has a feud with the Xu family, is also an attitude. He does not intend to stand by and watch this matter, but wants to take advantage of it. The attitude of Duqi is also in a sense the Weiyuan Escort Bureau and the Kuxia faction. Attitude. I guess the Weiyuan Escort and the Kuxia faction have no intention of completely tearing apart Tianjueguan for the time being, so Duqi is used by them to charge the battle. Now I doubt that Duqi was bound to win the marrow washing liquid before. After getting the news, I expected the current situation, so I quickly strengthened my strength."

"Which faction is it that is fighting against Tianjueguan?"

"Jiuliu secret society, the secret society is a kind of practice force different from the practice sect. This society has always only had nine people, and they are named as 'physician, physiognomy teacher, painter, scholar, luthier, chess player, monk, Taoist priest, and nun'" The nine code names are named. If a member quits or dies, they will find a suitable person to join. Their leader is called the president, and the rest are members. The members have to obey the orders of the president. But If you want to become the president of the Jiuliu Club, the conditions are very harsh, and all members must agree. And the people of this club will only take action outside after electing a new president. It is rumored that they recently elected The new president - the painter. This should be the first time that Jiuliu Society has acted in recent years."

Gu Qing said: "Will they deal with the practitioners of Tianjueguan next?"

He Qingdao: "Yes, this is a common practice. Of course, their targets will not be limited to practitioners. Anyone involved in this battle may be murdered or coerced by them. If the practitioners sent by Tianjueguan die Now, there are only two choices, continue to send more powerful people to fight, or don't want to continue to take risks and give up Jiangcheng's property. Of course, the same is true for the side that declares war."

He paused, then lowered his voice and said: "The practice world is so cruel, there will be life-and-death struggles at any time. I'm telling you this now because I don't want you to accidentally get on Duqi's boat later."

After speaking, He Qing immediately looked towards the stairs, and after a while, Du Qi led a young man up.

"Mr. Xu came to the dinner instead of Mr. Xu, we can sit in now." Du Qi said.

He Qing smiled at Gu Qing, as if to say: "Xu Zhizhou seems to be a cunning one too, so he only sent his son here."

Du Qi led Mr. Xu to He Qing's side, he said: "I'll let someone serve the food and drink, and brother He please greet Mr. Xu for me, I'll be right back."

Gu Qing saw that Du Qi was quite disappointed, because the one who came was not the right one.

It's just because of Mr. Xu's identity, it's not easy to have a seizure.It is estimated that there is no topic to be found, so I will hand it over to He Qing for the time being.Because Gu Qing heard it very clearly, when the two of them came up, what they said were all unnutritious polite words.

Mr. Xu smiled and said: "Let's go and get busy, I just want to have a conversation with Brother He. Last time at the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, Brother He's poem was really good."

He Qing said: "Where can I write such poems, he is the author, and I am just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."

Mr. Xu's eyes fell on Gu Qing, and he said politely: "Xiao Ke Xu Qingteng, I don't know how to call you?"

"Gu Qing."

"Could it be Mr. Gu who imitated Wang Lushan's Autumn Picture?"

Gu Qing nodded and said: "If you're talking about the one in Fang's old house, it's me."

Xu Qingteng said: "It was not my wish to come out to socialize, but it is a great joy to meet Mr. Gu. I have seen your painting before, and it is not inferior to Wang Lu in terms of brushwork and charm. It is a pity that, Mr. Gu seems to have revised it from another painting. Therefore, the spirit is a little incoherent, and the brush and ink are also slightly flawed. If Brother Gu did the painting himself, he would not have such regrets."

Gu Qing was slightly surprised, this son of Xu Zhizhou's family is really an expert.The faults he mentioned are actually invisible to outsiders at all, even if he has a certain level of painting skills, he may not be able to explain them as thoroughly as Xu Qingteng.

He said: "Young Master Xu praises you a lot, but I think you have a lot of accomplishments in painting from what you said."

Xu Qingteng smiled and said, "I really want to draw, but unfortunately my hand is disabled."

He exposed his right hand, and his thumb was missing a section.

Gu Qing couldn't help showing regret, and said, "I'm sorry."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xu Qingteng's left hand, which was smooth and white, and it didn't look like it was used to study painting hard.

Xu Qingteng said: "Those who don't know are not to blame. In fact, I also practiced painting with my left hand, but I was born with a weak left hand, and it was difficult to develop excellent painting skills, so I gave up. But now it's good to be a rich and idle person."

Gu Qing nodded.

At this time Du Qi came over and said: "Mr. Xu, my brother Gu is also very skilled in medicine. If you don't let him take a look at your weakness in the left hand, maybe he can cure you."

Xu Qingteng said: "No need, I have consulted many famous doctors for this disease, but they have not been cured. I really don't want to bother Mr. Gu."

Gu Qing said: "Indeed, my medical skills are not as good as the seventh brother boasted."

"Be careful." A waiter was bringing dishes up when he accidentally slipped and fell, and the plate he was carrying flew towards Xu Qingteng.

He Qing held the plate firmly, and with a flick of the other sleeve, a strong wind was generated, and the vegetables flying out of the plate were fanned back.

Du Qi smiled and said, "Brother He is so handsome."

Then he glared at the guy again, and said, "You're so frizzy, why don't you apologize to Mr. Xu."

The buddy had been frightened to death, but now he came back to his senses and quickly kowtowed.

Xu Qingteng was not angry either, and even comforted the clerk.

In the end, the guy kowtowed to thank him and returned to the kitchen with the plate.After all, the presentation of the dishes has been messed up, so a new dish has to be replaced.

Gu Qing watched them all. Just now Xu Qingteng looked a little panicked when facing the plate that was about to hit him, but it was not very natural. He was sure that Xu Qingteng was acting.

Of course, if it weren't for Gu Qing's astonishing powers of observation, it would be difficult to detect it.

Why do you want to act?
