Chapter 32: The Taoist Priest Says (I)
Listening to the voice, it was a heroic faction, and before the person approached, Chen Fei heard the laughter of the Taoist priest across the small courtyard.
After a while, an old Taoist priest with crane hair and a childish face and a long coat in green clothes strolled from outside the courtyard.
Chen Fei looked carefully, this old man was about fifty or sixty years old, with a ruddy complexion and radiant eyes, and at first glance, he was the master who ate and drank enough every day and did not forget to exercise, and lived a healthy and rhythmic life.
And this old Taoist priest is also the old Taoist priest who went to Chen Fei's house that day to do things for him.
"Supreme Heavenly Venerable." The little Taoist priest saw the old Taoist who came in and performed a Taoist salute.
Lao Dao waved his hand casually: "Sanzhu doesn't have to be polite, I have something to say to this little benefactor, don't let people disturb us." ”
"Yes."
The old Taoist priest smiled at Chen Fei, pointed to the side room in the courtyard and said, "Little donor, please come with me." ”
The old Taoist priest is mysterious and a little unsafe!
Chen Fei looked at the dark wing, and felt a little bottomless in his heart, if the old Taoist priest was actually quite fond of dividing the peach and breaking his sleeves, what would he do to him here, wouldn't it be called every day and the earth and the earth?
"What are you hesitating about? It's got what you're looking for this time. ”
Chen Fei hesitated slightly, looked at the old Taoist priest's kind eyes, and did not look like a bad person, gritted his teeth and followed the old Taoist priest into the room.
When I walked into the room, I found that this should be the bedroom of the old Taoist priest. It was very bitter, with only three wooden boxes, two futons, a small table, a small kettle, and a small bed.
The old Taoist priest pointed to a futon and said to Chen Fei, "Little donor, please take a seat." Then sit down cross-legged and sit down.
Chen Fei also followed the example of an old Taoist priest and sat cross-legged on the futon.
The old Taoist priest smiled at Chen Fei, added a handful of firewood under the kettle, lit it with flint and steel, and began to boil water.
"Poor Dao is a little harder here, there is nothing to entertain the little donor, and please don't blame the little donor."
Chen Fei was polite.
In fact, Chen Fei originally wanted to find trouble today, but unfortunately the little Taoist priest in the Taoist hall or the old Taoist priest had a very good attitude and was quite polite.
"The poor road is too bright, the little donor can call me Master Taiming or Taiming Dao Chang, hehe, in fact, I knew that the little donor was coming three days ago, so I specially prepared a gift for you."
Gift? Did you know I was coming three days ago? Do you want to be so deceitful? A mouth is a fool. Chen Fei rolled his eyes.
The good image that Taiming Dao Chang had just established in Chen Fei's heart began to crumble.
Between Taiming Dao Chang got up and walked out of the wing, and after a while he came back with two small bags, looking like the small bags were heavy, could it be... Copper coins or silver cakes?
Chen Fei's eyes lit up, and he smiled again and again: "Hey! It's too polite to give money, it's too polite, haha, I'll take it this time, not as an example, not as an example. ”
Daoist Taiming glanced at Chen Fei inexplicably: "Money? Haha, the little donor is really funny, he lives so hard in poverty, is he a person who can come up with so much money? ”
Depend on! Makes sense! Even if you are rich, they won't give it to you for no reason.
Chen Fei's face turned red as if he had been choked, but he quickly returned to normal.
In this life, he lacks everything, that is, he does not lack face, but this goods is so that he can lie on the ground without being beaten and sing the Lord of Conquering.
"Little friend, you might as well open it and see if it's what you want."
No... No way? A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Fei's heart.
He came to the Taoist hall this time, and it was fake to find something, the most important thing was that he wanted to find an opportunity to extort two things, two things that only exist in Taoist temples.
And there were two cloth bags in front of him......
Chen Fei quickly untied the cloth bag, and the contents of... He doesn't know!
"What is this?" Chen Fei asked curiously.
Daoist Taiming glanced at Chen Fei unexpectedly, pointed to the two cloth bags and introduced them separately: "This is arsenic, this is sulfur, isn't Xiaoyou here for these two things this time?" Strange, could it be that I miscalculated? ”
"Arsenic and brimstone?" Chen Fei exclaimed excitedly: "That's right, that's it, that's them!" ”
"Oh? It seems that the poor road is good, haha, the poor road skill is a little deeper! Taiming Daoist laughed.
Chen Fei put the two cloth bags away, and at the same time was a little puzzled.
"Counted? Can you count me for these two things? ”
Daoist Taiming nodded with an unfathomable smile, enjoying Chen Fei's adoring gaze.
"Really? Do you know what I'm going to do with these two things? ”
Daoist Taiming opened his eyes and stared at Chen Fei with sharp eyes.
"If these two things are used well, they can benefit the common people, and if they are not used well, they will harm people's lives. The decision of blessing or harm is in your hands, poor and unknowable. ”
"Huh? Since you don't know, why are you so relieved to hand it over to me? What if I'm going to hurt someone? ”
Taiming Daoist smiled: "Don't worry, if you go to harm someone, I will go to the government to sue you." ”
...... Do you want to use arsenic to poison this uncertain factor first?
Arsenic is actually a traditional Chinese medicine, but because it may cause death, this thing is strictly controlled by the government, and it is almost not popular among the people.
Chen Fei may need a lot of arsenic next, and it is obviously impossible to buy it at the pharmacy, and it is guaranteed that if he has not bought it, the government will send someone to arrest him and take him to prison the next day to punish him of being a "dangerous element", and go to prison for ten days and half a month to reflect on his life.
However, there is one special group that is not under the jurisdiction of the government.
That's the Taoist!
Arsenic is one of the drugs commonly used by Taoist priests in alchemy, and Taoist priests are particularly crazy in order to cultivate into immortals, as long as the pill is round, they dare to stuff anything into their mouths.
For this kind of Taoist elders who ignore life and death and only seek to become immortals, the government often turns a blind eye and ignores them.
No way, who made Taoism the state religion? There are a group of crazy people who are not afraid of death, as long as they don't harm others, what does the rest have to do with the government?
Therefore, when Chen Fei wanted arsenic, the first thing that came to mind was the Taoist temple, and only the Taoist temple could provide a large amount of arsenic and sulfur.
I thought it would take a lot of talking, but I didn't expect to get what I wanted so easily, which made Chen Fei a little ...... Be chuffed to bits?
"Ah, the kid thanked the Taoist grandfather, but I don't understand one thing, since you gave me something, it means that you still trust me, and we don't know each other, why do you trust me and give me things unconditionally?"
Taiming Dao Chang stroked his beard leisurely and looked at Chen Fei with a smile: "It's counted, hehe." ”
