Chapter 70: Demon Pill
After a month of storage in such a place, it has not been able to completely freeze it, and I am completely sure that the two-faced monster dog must be dead, which means that the cause of the melting of the ice is not the yin qi it released or some other magic spell, but something on top of its head.
I leaned in and wiped the crushed ice from the forehead of the two-faced dog with my sleeve, slowly revealing a black stone. This stone looks familiar, and it seems to be the glowing pebble that kept the two-faced monster dog chasing before.
After being swallowed, it actually grew out of the forehead, and I tried to buckle the stone out with my fingers, but it was very strong, and finally I had to ask the fat man to help dig up the whole piece of flesh and black stones.
"What's this?"
I asked curiously, holding it high and staring at the light bulb overhead. I have always had a question in my mind about why the two-faced monster dog is so attached to this stone.
"Isn't it written in the book?"
The fat man asked.
"I didn't write it, I put it away first, and I went back to Senior Han to ask. When will the Ling family and Mr. Tang arrive in Shanghai?"
I asked, shaking my head.
"About the day after tomorrow, I asked them to meet at the small place where the beads had taken us before. ”
"Well, I feel like this little stone might be worth more than this whole demon. ”
Obviously, my premonition was very accurate, and when Senior Han saw this small black stone, his face changed slightly, and it was the first time I saw this kind of expression on his face.
"Senior, do you know this stone?"
I asked.
"It's not a stone, it's a Dan. ”
Senior Han's answer surprised us all, I know the demon pill, Zhuzi mentioned it, and it is also recorded in "Strange Tales of the Mountains and Wilds". Legend has it that if this naturally raised youkai cultivates the Tao, then a stone-like thing will grow in its body. Known as Dan, most of them appear in the dantian, this Dan can condense many essences on the demon's body, for example, the demon pill is the most essential part of the demon's body, just like the middle piece of the watermelon after cutting is a truth!
There are big and small demon pills, and there are differences in quality, mainly depending on how long the demon has lived. This is also the biggest difference between the demon and the earth beast, the earth beast can't grow such a thing in a lifetime, while the demon can. It is said that the demon who has grown the demon pill cultivates faster, just like the tractor before there is no demon pill, and the demon pill is a car, and the gap is very large.
"Is this thing worth it?"
The fat man smiled and asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Of course it's worth it, killing demons is to get Dan, but I don't know the price on the market now, you can ask someone who knows how to do it." However, I estimate that it will not be a problem for this demon pill to sell for 200,000 yuan. The demon is originally a legendary thing, and many people can't find it if they want to, so you boys are so lucky. ”
My obedient man, I want to make a fortune! 200,000 yuan sold this demon pill, plus the other parts of this monster's body, how can I put it together for 100,000 yuan, just this double-faced monster dog can offset more than half of the fat uncle's debt!
"It's worth so much, hehe......"
The fat man and Luo Qiong kept smirking, Xiao Luo had been following the fat man for too long, and gradually began to become a money string.
"But I'm curious, how did you boys kill this monster, and no one helped?"
Senior Han asked strangely.
Luo Qiong, the silly boy, just wanted to speak, but was stepped on by the fat man, and then the fat man said with a smile: "We are lucky, this monster and the gray wolf fought half to death, we attacked from behind and succeeded in one fell swoop, by the way, I will stay for a while with your magic weapon, hehe." ”
Xiao Luo doesn't understand the rules. Senior Han didn't help, but just borrowed a magic weapon, which means that he is not completely sure that he can capture this monster alive. But now that the old man's friend has made a move, he easily took down this monster, and there is naturally a difference between the skills of the two. If we tell the truth stupidly, Senior Han will definitely feel that we have a bigger helper, and he will not be completely concerned about us in the future. To put it simply, it's like you were looking for the second-best child in the class to ask for advice, and you said a lot of flattering words, and they happily taught you. Unexpectedly, I encountered a big problem, and the second best child was not sure to make it. You find the help of the first best student, and the second best child must feel that you have a new backer, and naturally displease.
Although Senior Han is a senior and must be broad-minded, we naturally choose not to say anything if we can avoid this trouble.
"Hmph, you guys are so lucky, you can stay for a while. I have two pieces of advice for you about this demon pill. First, the puppet is not guilty of his crimes, and he should not be a snake that wants to swallow an elephant. Second, treasure is easy to come by, but treasure is hard to find. Alright, let's go. ”
After leaving Han's senior's house, I have been wondering what the two sentences he just said mean by what they mean, I can understand the meaning of the literal words, but it is another matter for me.
"Puff is not guilty......"
I was muttering when suddenly a voice came from me, "That's stupid." ”
"Fatty, you scold me!"
I turned around and shouted, and the fat man and Luo Qiong looked at me with stunned expressions, obviously neither of them had spoken.
I'm hallucinating again, it's been two times in a row since yesterday and today, is it because I haven't rested well, or because my head is hurt, so I hear some strange sounds.
"What's wrong?"
The fat man asked.
"It's okay, let's go visit Mr. Tang today, didn't you say that he has already arrived in Shanghai?"
I patted my head as I spoke, and the doctor said that if my head was injured, I might hear some strange sounds, which was a possibility that my brain was malfunctioning, but it wasn't a big problem, and it would be fine after a while. I figured I might be that type, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
Mr. Tang lives in the presidential suite of the Peace Hotel, of course, he has a property in Shanghai, but it is obviously more convenient to stay in a high-end hotel for a short stay.
To be honest, this is my first time at the Peace Hotel, and even after a few decades, it is still one of the most prestigious hotels in Shanghai. Built in the quaint old Shanghai style, once the first height in the Far East is located on the glorious Nanjing Road, the two 77-meter-tall buildings are exceptionally magnificent against the backdrop of neon lights.
It was the first time Luo Qiong walked into such a luxurious place, his eyes were straight, and he pulled me and whispered, "Brother Shan, how much does it cost for a night here?"
"I don't know, it's a few dozen dollars. ”
Actually, I don't know the price either, so I casually rambled nonsense.
"It's so expensive for one night, so I don't have to live for a few thousand yuan a month! Mr. Tang is really rich, anyway, I don't want to live here." ”
He followed me, so careful that he didn't even dare to touch the vase in the restaurant.
When I arrived at the door of Mr. Tang's room, two big men in black were standing at the door, who should be bodyguards. When he saw us, he immediately stopped us and said, "This is a private room. ”
"My name is Cui Zhen, and we made an appointment with Mr. Tang. ”
The fat man replied.
One of the bodyguards turned around and knocked on the door, and said, "There are three people outside who said that they had made an appointment with Mr. Tang, and the one who took the lead is called Cui Zhen." ”
"Let them in. ”
It was a female voice, the bodyguard nodded and stepped aside, the door opened, and standing in front of us was a beautiful girl wearing a black cheongsam, tall and tall, with a thin waist and willow eyebrows, and a standard melon seed face and beautiful appearance.
"Hello, I am Mr. Tang's personal secretary, my name is Linlin, you can also call me by my English name Lily. Mr. Tang is entertaining guests, but he told me that you will let you in directly after you come. Please ...... here."
The most luxurious suites are different, the whole room is divided into three rooms, a large living room, a bathroom and a bedroom. The area is estimated to be larger than my house, with pure European-style luxury decoration, Persian carpets on the floor, and crystal chandeliers hanging overhead, showing luxury everywhere.
"Sir is inside, please come in. ”
Linlin opened the door of the living room, and the first person I saw when I raised my eyes was not Mr. Tang, but another familiar face.
"Haha, Lingqian, you and your brother are really different, it's more interesting to chat with you. In my opinion, your brother is too rigid and principled, but it is not easy to get along with. ”
Mr. Tang said with a smile. “
