Chapter 112: Betting
The old man held a small dagger in his hand, and in front of him was a half-finished wood carving, which looked like a human being.
And the face of this semi-finished wood carving has a long scratch, which is extremely dazzling.
Seeing this, Wu Yan's eyelids jumped suddenly, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
He has nothing to play since he was a child, and in addition to practicing all day long, he is dancing with wood carving, and he is also proficient in the art of wood carving.
The most taboo thing about this wood carving technique is to be suddenly disturbed, and the old man in front of him seems to have been affected by himself, so he disfigured the wood carving......
"It's over the calf~"
Wu Yan thought to himself.
"Your doll named Wu Yan is here to guard the medicine garden?"
The old man stood up and asked in a deep voice.
"I ......"
Before Wu Yan could speak, he was interrupted by the old man: "What are you? Why don't you understand the rules at all? Who made you shout outside the door?"
"The disciple only entered the mountain gate today, and he didn't understand the rules when he first arrived, and he looked at his predecessor Haihan. ”
Wu Yan knew that he was wrong, and immediately made amends.
"New disciples? Hmph! New disciples dare to come and guard my medicine garden, who gave you the confidence?"
The old man threw away the dagger in his hand and sat on the horizontal board of the gazebo, his face full of disdain over Erlang's legs.
"Dare to ask the seniors, what do you need your disciples to do to guard the medicine garden?"
Wu Yan ignored the mockery in the old man's words, but he faintly heard from the old man's words that this guarding the medicine garden did not seem to be simple, and immediately asked.
"You don't even know what you need to do, so you dare to take on this task, do you think you just move a stool, look at my spirit grass here, and look at it for a month?" said the old man with a crooked nose and squinted eyes.
Wu Yan was a little embarrassed, in fact, this was what he thought in his heart at the beginning......
"Didn't the deacon tell you? Well, it's normal that he didn't tell you, the old man, the people who have been to the medicine garden don't want to come a second time, and finally there is a stunned young man like you who is willing to take on this task, and they will naturally not let you go." ”
When Wu Yan heard the old man say this, his "young" heart suddenly cooled in half, no wonder the deacon looked at himself with that kind of eyes at that time, and he looked like he was afraid that he would regret it, there was really a mystery in this......
However, since the tasks have been accepted, naturally there is no way to change them, not to mention, for the sake of Yan Yi, he also has to bite the bullet.
"Please tell the seniors, and the disciples will do their best. ”
"Hehe, you still know how to be polite in this life, and the old man is not embarrassed for you, as long as you take good care of my garden spirit grass within this month, and no yellow leaves appear, even if you complete the task. ”
As the old man spoke, he took out a booklet from his bosom, threw it to Wu Yan, and said:
"This is a detailed description of the care methods of each spirit grass, you just need to follow what the book says, remember, every piece of data must not be deviated in the slightest. ”
Wu Yan took the booklet, and after hearing what the old man said, his face couldn't help twitching, and he thought: Not a single leaf can be yellow, if this is a natural disaster or something, then it will be a calf!
What's more, even if there were no natural disasters, it would be extremely difficult to achieve that kind of situation.
Wu Yan finally understood at this time, why everyone would look at them so strangely after knowing that they had taken over the task of guarding the medicine garden.
"Boy, do you dare to make a bet with the old man?"
When Wu Yan was thinking a lot in his heart, the old man's figure suddenly flashed, and he appeared in front of Wu Yan in an instant, half-covering his mouth with one hand, and said with a thief's eyebrows.
The old man's speed was too fast, Wu Yan didn't react for a while, and subconsciously took two steps back.
"What are you afraid of?
The old man complained, stepped out, and came face to face with Wu Yan again.
"I don't know what bet my predecessor wants to make with my disciple, and what is the bet?" Wu Yan leaned back slightly and asked.
"Actually, it's nothing, let's bet on whether you can complete the task successfully, as for this bet......"
The old man stopped at this point, touched his chin, stroked his beard, and said thoughtfully: "If you finish it, I will take you as an apprentice and teach you to open a furnace for alchemy; ”
"I don't look like you are a rich lord, and the old man doesn't have much, just 10,000, or 100 Xuanyuan Stones, if you can exchange these Yuanstones for fine wine, it will be even better! If you don't have so many Yuanshi, you can deduct them from your subsequent cultivation resources. ”
"Hehe, how about it? This deal, don't lose money!"
After the old man finished speaking, he stared at Wu Yan with a thief on his face, with stars in his eyes, full of anticipation.
After listening to the old man's words, Wu Yan began to fall into deep thought, weighing the benefits and disadvantages.
This 10,000 Huang Yuanshi is not a small amount for Wu Yan, although he collected a lot from the people of the Sansha Mercenary Group last time, but the two British-level martial artists, and that Ma Shi, don't seem to have put all the Yuanshi on their bodies, and the total is only more than 30,000.
Taking a third of it at once really made Wu Yan a little painful.
However, the conditions offered by this old man were really tempting, which made Wu Yan's heart move.
If you can learn alchemy and become an alchemist, not only will your status improve a lot, but you can also become self-sufficient through alchemy, making up for the shortcomings of your poor qualifications.
Although the chances of him being able to successfully complete the task are very small, Wu Yan is still unwilling to miss this opportunity.
What Wu Yan didn't know was that when he was entangled in his heart, the old man also had his wishful thinking in his heart.
"This kid is a newcomer, it is absolutely impossible to complete the task successfully, as long as he agrees to this gamble, he will lose, 10,000 Huang Yuanshi, enough for me to drink free wine for a while, it's really beautiful!"
The old man thought.
"I don't know the name of my predecessor?"
Seeing that Wu Yan had been thinking for a long time, the old man asked such an inconsequential question, and suddenly said a little unhappily: "Old man Ouyang Jing, have you thought about it?
"Juniors can bet with their seniors, but before that, I hope my seniors can promise me one thing. ”
"Tell me what? Ouyang Jing said with great interest, the disciple who dared to negotiate with him was the first time he had met him.
"I don't know if the seniors have books similar to the Lingcao Experience? The disciple has just arrived, and he doesn't know anything about the Lingcao at all, if Ouyang Senior can solve the doubts for the disciple, then the disciple will make a bet with you. ”
This spiritual grass was the main purpose of Wu Yan's coming to this medicine garden, and he naturally had to find a way to get it.
After the old man heard what Wu Yan had entrusted him, he was suddenly happy in his heart, this spiritual grass experience record only recorded the appearance and function of some spiritual grass, and it was not a particularly precious thing for him, and it was not a big deal to give Wu Yan a copy at all.
