Chapter 1074: The Past of the Ancient City

I became interested when I heard this: "Go on!"

Chen Shuyu said: Although there are many ancient pagodas in Tacheng, most of them have no names. Only a few ancient pagodas with special significance are named. The "Twin Towers in the South of the City" is one of them.

The twin iron towers are separated by a distance of about ten steps. The tower body is only over two meters high, but it is made of pig iron. It is very famous in the local area.

Back then, when the wealthy businessman named Tang Hong was drinking with his friends in a tavern near the Twin Towers, he somehow got interested and wanted to see if anyone could move the towers.

The two also had a bet at the wine table.

At that time, everyone in the tavern thought the two people were talking over drinks. Unexpectedly, Tang Hongzhen held a "Tota Conference" a few days later.

He sent a message to the world that if anyone could lift the twin towers and move them ten steps away, he would be willing to give him a nine-story gold tower weighing ten kilograms.

As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation in the local area. In just a few days, it spread throughout the Northland. Some people were even fanning the flames. Whoever could move the tower would be called "The King of Tower Towers".

People seeking fame and fortune suddenly gathered in Tacheng, including some famous martial arts figures.

On the day of the conference, ten people went up to move the tower. The first nine people either couldn't move the tower or could only lift it off the ground.

Only the tenth man managed to move the tower three steps, and was seriously injured and vomited blood on the spot.

The "Pagoda Towering Conference" lasted for seven days. Tang Hong also changed the lifting of the tower into a pushing tower at the suggestion of onlookers.

Finally, after the seventh day, a pair of brothers came, and they each lifted the tower and walked ten steps away.

However, when Tang Hong was preparing to give the Golden Pagoda as a gift, he found that the Golden Pagoda sealed in the box was missing, leaving only a handful of golden monkey hair in the box.

That was the unique symbol of the famous lone thief at that time, the Monkey King.

The Golden Tower was stolen, Tang Hong was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and the Tower Conference failed to resolve the matter.

Chen Shuyu stopped here, and I asked: "Is there no follow-up to the Tota Conference?"

"Yes!" Chen Shuyu said: "On the second day of the pagoda topping ceremony, the brother who raised the iron tower found his head in a different place. His body was lying in the inn, but his head was hung on the tower."

"On the third day, the body of the lone Monkey King was discovered. He was stuffed into the bottom of the iron building, and all the bones in his body were crushed by external forces. Only a grinning head was exposed in the hole of the tower."

"On the fourth day, Tang Hong was cut in half, and the two halves of his body were thrown under the two towers respectively."

"In short, everyone who touched the Twin Towers at that time died violently."

"People in Tacheng were panicked for a while. Finally, at the suggestion of a Taoist priest, the whole city came out to worship the iron pagoda, and the incident was calmed down."

I nodded when I heard this: "Xiaojiu, Xiaoqi, do you think that Tang Hong is a thief?"

Jiang Jiuyuan said: "You can call me Jiang Jiuyuan, but don't call me Xiaojiu! This is the name within the family."

I said coldly: "Lin Zhao, throw her down and order Lao Liu to slaughter the Pirate Immortal Sect."

Jiang Jiuyuan exclaimed: "How can you be so domineering?"

I looked at Jiang Jiuyuan with murderous intent in my eyes: "Listen to me, I asked you to come here as an order, not to ask you to do something for me, nor to ask you to show off to me."

"I don't need such subordinates! Lin Zhao, throw them away!"

Lin Zhao opened the car door with his right hand and grabbed Jiang Jiuyuan's pulse with his left hand, about to throw him out. Xiao Qi quickly stopped him: "Sister Lin, don't do anything yet! I'll talk to the hall master later! Let go first!"

"

I said in a deep voice: "What do you want to say? Think about it before you say it! Otherwise, I will throw you out together."

"I, I..." Xiao Qi was obviously frightened by me, and he hesitated for a long time without saying a word.

Chen Shuyu stood up and persuaded me, so I borrowed the donkey from Poxia and asked Lin Zhao to close the car door.

Xiao Qi was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak. Jiang Jiuyuan was so frightened that he sat there and cried.

Actually, I didn't intend to throw Jiang Jiuyuan away, I just wanted to give them a blow.

Chen Shuyu comforted the two of them for a long time, and then Jiang Jiuyuan wiped away his tears and wanted to speak. I waved my hand and said, "If you want to apologize, don't say it. I don't want to listen to nonsense. You can tell me what to do."

Jiang Jiuyuan said: "Tang Hong's 'tower conference' is indeed a common tactic used by burglars."

"They probably wanted something under the tower but had no suitable reason to move the tower in public, so they came up with the idea of ​​a tower conference."

"According to the style of burglary, no matter whether anyone can move the tower at that time, they will take the tower away. As long as we find a reasonable excuse and place something near the target, we can use it as a deception, in front of hundreds of thousands of people.

Human face, move things away."

"I think the pair of brothers who came out at the end should also be the ones who stole the door. They moved the fake tower, and the real tower has been moved away."
