Chapter 839 Tan Qin
"What conditions?"
the little girl asked.
"I'm just Hua Lingshi, learning puppetry from you."
"But it's not a matter of learning from a master. If you complete it in the future, you won't be considered part of the Tan family."
His two masters are both senior masters who have lived hundreds of years.
Even if he needed to learn Puppet Taoism from another master, he would not be able to learn from a girl who was younger than him and whose cultivation was lower than him.
Absolutely not!
"good!"
The little girl nodded in agreement without hesitation, her attention having been diverted.
"You just said that you were going to hand over the spirit stone to learn the art."
"How many spiritual stones are you prepared to hand over?"
She was completely unaware that she should have had the final say in this matter.
The innkeeper looked worried.
But ever since he knew that Qin Shaochen was actually a great spiritual man, he no longer had the calmness he had before.
Listen to the two people talking and don't dare to interrupt casually.
At this time, there was still no word.
But he couldn't help coughing twice.
Qin Shaochen was secretly amused.
Quote the price directly.
"Study here for a month, how about thirty spiritual stones?"
"About one dollar a day."
"If you teach well, I can give you a few more spiritual stones at the end of the month."
He has turned the whole thing upside down.
He is no longer the one who comes to learn skills.
Instead, he paid to hire a young girl to teach him skills.
"good!"
"That's it!"
The little girl was overjoyed and immediately nodded in agreement.
Thirty spiritual stones are almost more than three thousand taels of silver.
She helped people repair mecha puppets here and earned a thousand taels of silver in half a year.
There is still a long way to go to repay the huge debt.
At this time, Qin Shaochen offered a high price of three thousand taels of silver a month, and of course he agreed without thinking.
The innkeeper sighed secretly, but did not dare to make any more hints.
Everything he could do has been done.
It is considered to be the most benevolent and righteous.
If you don't know what's good or bad, you still have to get involved. If he accidentally offends a great spiritual man, it is not something that a small spiritual man like him can bear.
Seeing that the matter was settled, the shopkeeper quickly clasped his fists in salute and congratulated the two of them.
Then he left in a hurry.
The little girl waited for the shopkeeper to leave before inviting Qin Shaochen into the wooden pavilion.
Made a pot of tea.
After sitting opposite each other and pouring a cup of tea for Qin Shaochen, they talked about their origins.
It turns out that the little girl’s name is Tan Qin.
He indeed comes from a family of the Puppet Sect.
However, they are a puppet family.
Because in recent years, the Ji Puppet sect has become less and less influential in the sect.
The Tan family of the Ji Puppet sect is very frustrated within the sect.
The scenery of the three thousand-year-old family has long since disappeared.
His status plummeted.
After hundreds of years of decline, it has almost become a ruin in the sect.
In fact, many people in the sect are trying to persuade Tan Fushi, the head of the Tan family, to give up the puppeteering technique and switch to the war puppet faction.
With Mr. Tan's profound attainments in puppetry, it would take no more than ten years at most for him to become a very high-level puppet master.
When the time comes, he will naturally be able to thrive in the sect.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Tan of the Tan family is an old-fashioned man with strong traditional concepts.
I always believe that machine puppets are the right path for the Puppet Sect.
On the contrary, fighting puppets is a heretical and evil trick.
Let him give up the right way and succumb to the evil way, even if he is killed.
In the end, Tan Fushi was angry that righteousness was not flourishing and evil was rampant, so he simply moved out of the Puppet Sect with his family.
Came to settle in the Jokhang Dynasty.
Out of sight, out of mind.
At the same time, we are preparing to let the Tan family's inheritance be passed down in the Jokhang Kingdom.
What he didn't expect was that while making a deal, he was framed and owed a huge debt to a Imperial Preceptor surnamed Xu out of thin air.
Xu Guoshi was also rude.
All members of the Tan family were immediately arrested.
Almost all of them were imprisoned in the dungeons of the Imperial Prefecture.
Only Tan's mother, who was in serious condition, was not taken into the dungeon.
Tan Qin was also left behind, asking her to go back to the Puppet Sect to seek help.
Xu Guoshi made it clear that as long as the Tan family pays off its debts within three years, all the Tan family, old and young, will naturally be released from the dungeon.
Of course, Tan Qin returned to the sect immediately.
Reach out to a group of old friends and relatives for help.
What she didn't expect was that the Tan family had only been away from the Puppet Sect for a few years, and those relatives and friends in the past had become like strangers.
Tan Qin searched all over the sect but couldn't borrow many spiritual stones.
The only option is to return to Jokhang and find another way.
But after thinking about it, she was a little girl and there was nothing she could do.
I can only ask a distant relative to help me and take over some business of repairing mecha puppets.
Earn your own money to pay off your debts.
Of course, we are also willing to open a restaurant and accept apprentices.
However, because she was too young, almost half a year passed without receiving a disciple.
Fortunately, the puppet repair business is pretty good.
This was how the difficult situation was maintained.
Qin Shaochen nodded when he heard this.
The sympathy for Tan Qin in my heart became a little more.
I feel more and more that Tan Qin is just like him before.
In a difficult situation, but unwilling to give in!
No matter how difficult it is, we are still fighting hard!
Of course, he didn't intend to take over everything, and immediately took action to help Tan Qin solve the problem.
The Tan family's problems should be solved by the Tan family themselves.
In this matter, he would rather be a "noble person" and give the other party some help.
But in the end, it was still up to Tan Qin to resolve it.
Moreover, he also heard something wrong from Tan Qin's explanation.
Things should not be as simple as Tan Qin said.
Most likely there is another hidden story.
Although the old man of the Tan family has a stubborn temperament, he must be a very experienced person who has been in charge of a family for so many years.
How could he be framed casually.
In addition, that Xu Guoshi can represent the Puppet Sect and serve as the official national teacher of Dazhao.
His status and position are naturally extraordinary.
In his position, thousands of spiritual stones are at his fingertips.
Even richer than some Jindan Zhenren.
How could he go to war for some spiritual stones?
And the most suspicious thing is, since you want the Tan family to pay off the debt, why don't you leave a sophisticated Tan family member to handle those things?
And left a young girl who was not familiar with the world outside.
That Xu Guoshi should be a great spiritualist who has lived for hundreds of years at least.
Can't you see that a little girl with little influence went to the Puppet Sect to borrow money.
It is absolutely impossible to borrow enough money to repay the debt.
Xu Guoshi must have another purpose for doing that.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaochen's heart moved.
While listening to Tan Qin's words, he began to listen to the movements around him.
Sure enough, he soon heard it.
On a big tree behind the courtyard, there was a breathing sound in the dense leaves.
There was a person hiding.
Qin Shaochen couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Immediately activated his spiritual sense, scanned over, and immediately "saw" a man in black clothes and a black hat hiding in the tall bushes.
"What a trick!"
"It seems that the plot is not simple."
At a glance, Qin Shaochen had already seen that the person hiding on the big tree was a great spiritualist in the middle stage of foundation building.
That kind of person may not be a big deal in the sect.
But in the dynasty, he should still have a considerable status.
"Send a mid-level great spiritualist to follow."
"What that Master Xu wants is definitely not the spiritual stone."
Qin Shaochen couldn't help but sigh softly.
It seems that his fate has not changed!
Wherever he goes, there will be trouble.
Even if he is thousands of miles away, it is still the same.
