Chapter 45: The Gambling Contract
Yuan Jia picked up the crimson jade piece on the coffee table and gently crushed it in his hand. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As the jade piece in his hand shattered, Yuan Jia suddenly felt a cool and mysterious breeze appear around him. This breeze slowly wrapped Yuanjia in it, and suddenly the surrounding scenes began to blur, all of which turned into a white background, and there seemed to be a little star shining in the white scene, as dazzling as a diamond.
However, before Yuan Jia had time to appreciate it at this time, the white light curtain in front of him was instantly torn open, revealing the appearance of a room, and a push also appeared behind him, pushing him out without his defense, and the moment he went out, the white light curtain also disappeared!
"Ahh Yuan Jia was surprised by this sudden thrust, and couldn't help but shout out, but he had already been pushed out before he finished shouting, and the old man who was sleeping on the kang was also awakened by Yuan Jia's exclamation.
He reluctantly opened one eye, and seemed to shout angrily without seeing the location of Yuanjia at all: "I'll it!
Yuan Jia said very apologetically: "I'm sorry senior, I was also scared by the thrust of this spirit jade!"
The old man touched the messy red beard on his chin, and still got up angrily and said, "The little ghost is really delicate now! A little push scares you like this, it's really not as good as a generation!"
Yuan Jia said: "Please also ask the seniors to forgive the sins, I will definitely pay attention to it next time!"
Seeing Yuan Jia's attitude, the old man laughed at it, even if he had qi in his heart, it was not easy to attack, so he endured the liver fire in his body, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, don't be so literate! Say, what's the matter?"
Yuan Jia saw that the tone of the old man who laughed at the fire softened, and the apprehension in his heart couldn't help but decrease a lot, and he asked, "Senior, I don't know when we will go to collect the colorful Lingzhi?"
At the moment, time is still relatively tight, Yuan Jia wants to save all the time he can save, although the color of the sky has not changed at all, Yuan Jia can still feel the obvious passage of time, indicating that the time of this fairy spirit mountain is probably still synchronized with the outside world. Then, the time he spent in the Fairy Spirit Mountain was unknown, which made Yuanjia even more anxious, so he came to urge the old man Huoxiao to leave as soon as possible.
The old man laughed leisurely and dug his ears, and said slowly: "Don't worry, we've been walking for so long, we don't have to take a good rest!"
After hearing this, Yuan Jia's anxiety in his heart was even better, although he knew that continuing to persuade might anger the old man, but Yuan Jia still planned to persuade him, but it was a big deal to go up the mountain alone: "Senior, my friend ......"
"Oh, yes, I forgot that your friend is poisonous, and he needs the Colorful Reishi to heal his wounds!" The old man knocked on his head, and his expression felt like he had just woken up from a big dream.
The old man jumped down from the kang, tidied up his clothes a little, combed his hair, and said to Yuan Jia: "Child, cover your ears!"
Yuan Jia understood what he meant, and immediately blocked his ears with his hand, and even used the Five Elements Technique to the extent of force.
The old man took a deep breath, and shouted at the sky with the power of his dantian: "Zhao Cong, come over to Lao Tzu!"
This time the roar directly shook the ground under the feet of the two of them, and obvious cracks had appeared on the pillars supporting the house, and the whole house where the two of them were located had a crumbling feeling, and even there were some bird calls outside the house, and it seemed that the shock here also affected the outside.
And even if Yuan Jia ran the Five Elements Technique to resist the roar of the old man who laughed at the fire, his brain still felt a burst of dizziness after the concussion, and his face suddenly turned pale, and the foreign body that came up from his throat was also forcibly swallowed by Yuan Jia, if Yuan Jia hadn't been mentally prepared in advance, he would have been lying on the ground and foaming at the mouth now!
However, this kind of shock only lasted for a short time, and the next moment the vibration stopped, a dazzling white light appeared next to the old man who laughed, just like the white light curtain that Yuan Jia saw when he teleported from his room to the old man's room, but there was no little starlight on it, and the overall temperament was like a new piece of paper that had not been stained with dust.
Zhao Cong appeared from inside in a yellow robe, and the iconic smile still hung on his face, as if he didn't care about the old man's behavior just now, and he was holding a somewhat worn paper scroll in his hand at this time, and something seemed to be drawn on the paper scroll.
Before the old man could speak, Zhao Cong threw the paper roll in his hand to the old man and said, "What you want is this, right?"
The old man looked at the contents of the paper scroll he threw over, and then changed to a smiling expression and said to Zhao Cong: "I'm quite conscious! How do you know that I want a map of the pestle field?"
Zhao Cong looked at him a little helplessly, and said: "Every time you leave here, you have to take a map from me, and then don't give it back to me, and over time, I don't bother to ask for it, so I specially made a few more plans to give it to you one at a time." ”
The old man put the map in his hand into his pocket, and said to Zhao Cong with a flattering face: "Old Zhao, look." As for me, although I have been to this Chiwu Peak a few times, I really haven't been to the pestle Gongtian a few times, so I don't know where the colorful Lingzhi grows. Do you want to be my guide for so many years?"
Zhao Cong looked at him in surprise, as if he couldn't believe his ears, and he said in a little panic: "Don't you have a map?"
The old man smiled and said, "Isn't it troublesome to look at the map one by one?
Zhao Cong didn't answer the old man's words, but seemed to be thinking, and after a while, Zhao Cong's mouth had an elusive smile on his lips, and said, "You want to know my 'Spirit Grass Search Method', right?
The old man seemed to have a feeling of being poked, and his old face was crimson, but it complemented his crimson beard, and he said angrily: "If you don't help, you won't help, where is there so much to say!" Lao Tzu tells you that even without your help, Lao Tzu can still find the elixir!"
Zhao Cong said calmly: "Cripple, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
"Oh?" This made the angry old man suddenly a little interested, and he asked, "What bet?"
Zhao Cong smiled and said: "As long as you find one of the three herbs of 'Cordyceps Grass', 'Golden Crown', and 'Tears of the Stars' in the pestle field, or a elixir of the same value as these three herbs, I will lose, you can pick ten elixirs in my medicine field at will, I will never bargain, and after our research on the Colorful Lingzhi is successful, we will give you unconditional priority." However, if you lose, you will not only vomit out all the medicinal materials you have stolen from us over the years, but also unconditionally work as a coolie for me in my medicine field for ten days, how about it?"
"This ......" The old man was silent, this bet is too tempting! But if he loses, wouldn't it be both ruined and ruined?
Anyway, I can't get those elixirs, and my reputation is already very stinky, so I'm not afraid of stinking a little more!
"Okay! After that, the old man who laughed picked up Yuan Jia, who was temporarily unable to move, turned into a crimson afterimage, and disappeared on the road to "Tongtian Peak", while Zhao Cong stood in place, laughing and silent.
