Chapter 33: Running away

Xiao Ke and the others got their hands on it, and after jumping on the roof of the house with a stick of incense, and after confirming that there was no tail behind them to catch up, they returned to Elder Bai's courtyard with confidence.

They each went back to their rooms and fell asleep, until the next day, when Xiao Ke and Yun Tu woke up under Elder Bai's symphony of sticks.

Originally, after learning the method of breathing, the monks no longer need to lie in bed and sleep with their eyes closed, but the mental pressure brought by last night's incident to Xiao Ke and the others is relatively large, and meditation not only does not work, but also has the possibility of going mad.

After breakfast, the three of Bai Chang's apprentices slipped into the study one after another, and let Lin Yanran climb on the roof to tease the kitten.

"Five Qiankun bags, a box of silver tickets, all here, how to divide them?"

Xiao Ke handed over the stolen money, then rubbed his hands together and looked at Elder Bai with an eager expression.

"Qiankun bag, you two look at the points, I'll see how much silver there is first. ”

Elder Bai swept the Qiankun bag in front of Xiao Ke and Yuntu without even looking at it, and then carefully opened the wooden box like a wealth fan, rummaging through it.

Suddenly, Elder Bai was attracted by an inconspicuous small white pill in the box, and after looking at it, he changed color, and without speaking, he threw the box into the brazier at his feet with the money.

Seeing this, Xiao Ke hurriedly went to the brazier to pull it, and scolded while pulling it: "Bad old man, are you sick, the labor and senior brother almost lost their lives last night, you just burned like this, you think you are Brother Xiaoma." ”

"Idiot!"

Elder Bai got up and grabbed Xiao Ke's ear, dragged him two meters away from the brazier, and didn't let him touch the brazier before he said, "Pig brain, there is a dog spirit pill in that wooden box, didn't you say that you checked it last night, why didn't you find it?"

Xiao Ke's mind was full of question marks about the nascent word of the Dog Spirit Pill, but combined with Elder Bai's current performance, he still realized that something was wrong and asked, "You mean, that box has been tampered with, and the owner behind the gambling house can track us down through that box?"

Elder Bai didn't speak, he just nodded, and his mind was racing to solve the problem, and after a long time, he said, "You two hurry up and pack your things and go down the mountain, and go to Luoshui Town, a hundred miles away, to wait for your second senior brother." ”

"Is it so serious, you have to run away from home, aren't the silver and the box burned?" Xiao Ke didn't think that the matter was really as serious as Elder Bai said, as the saying goes, catch a thief in bed and take the stolen goods, and now the stolen goods have turned into a handful of ashes, even if the master behind the gambling house comes to the door, as long as he dies and does not admit it.

"It's useless, if it doesn't rain, the smell of the dog spirit pill can remain in the air for more than seven days, I just destroyed this box, and the traces left before can't be removed, maybe, someone else has already caught up with the door, you two hurry up, don't worry about me, I have my own way to deal with it." ”

As he spoke, Elder Bai took out two stacks of rune paper from the Qiankun bag, Xiao Ke and Yun Tu gave one stack, and said: "You may have to stay outside for a month or two, without the protection of the sect, the outside is extremely dangerous, these are all treasures accumulated for the teacher's dedication, they should be able to protect your thoughtfulness, pack up, and take the path from the back door to Luoshui Town." ”

This was the first time Xiao Ke saw Elder Bai take out the rune paper, and he took the rune paper, and he also realized that Elder Bai's words were not alarmist, and when he robbed the gambling house, the old man was more than a hundred times easier than now.

He didn't say anything anymore, opened his mouth, and originally wanted to say that Master take care, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't say anything after all, and flicked a stack of rune papers in his hand, and Xiao Ke left the study with his arm around Yuntu's shoulder.

A moment later, the two hurriedly slipped through the back door of the courtyard.

As soon as they walked with their front feet, they knocked on the gate of the courtyard with a loud bang, and there were noisy people at the door, and there was a faint sound of dogs barking.

Elder Bai let Lin Yanran go back to the room in advance, and told him not to come out if anything happened.

Now, he is alone in the courtyard, and he can only do the work of opening the door himself.

"Who?"

When the door was opened, there was a large number of people at the door, led by a white-haired old man in a white robe, and a big black dog with teeth and claws in his hand that wanted to pounce on Elder Bai.

"Old Zhou?"

Elder Bai greeted the visitor enthusiastically, but the discerning person knew at a glance that it was pretending.

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhou on the opposite side actually threw the dog leash to the man in black behind him, directly hugged Elder Bai, and said enthusiastically: "Lao Bai! I haven't seen you for a long time, let's go, go in and sit!"

After that, Lao Zhou followed up with his own family and dragged Elder Bai into the living room and sat down.

After brewing tea, putting on the fruit plate, and chatting a few words, Lao Zhou spoke, "Hand over the two things last night, after all, I injured a good hand, this matter can't be counted like this, I can't explain anything to my apprentices." ”

Elder Bai pretended to be deaf and dumb, and said, "I haven't been out last night or tonight, so I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Lao Zhou seemed to have expected that Elder Bai would say this, so he threw a petal of orange into his mouth without any surprise, and said, "You give me two, I will pay you back one and a half, and I will just ask the little bastard with a sword with one hand." In this way, hello, hello, everyone, everyone is happy. ”

Elder Bai still ignored Lao Zhou, and just drank tea by himself.

Lao Zhou was a little angry, and said: "Lao Bai, the three of us have been doing that bit of shit for eighty years, are you so angry, in the past few years, the inn opened by labor and management in Xishanmen has been demolished by your stubborn big apprentice like you, did I fart, not a word, and also, the brothel in Nanshanmen, legally operated, did not force good people to become prostitutes, and was patronized by your second apprentice for two nights, and my girls were all shot, and labor and management did not let go of a fart." Now, even if you rob the money, you also injured my clansmen, that is the best seedling of our generation surnamed Zhou, I can't count this matter. ”

Elder Bai took a sip of water, rubbed his nose, and said, "The Tao is not the same, I said, I am in the sect for a day, you two don't want to live comfortably." ”

"Bang!"

Lao Zhou smashed the teacup in his hand and said angrily: "Confused, you put away your inconspicuous benevolence and morality, look at me, the Great Elder of the Outer Gate, and then look at Lao Hong, the Elder of the Inner Gate, which one is not better than you." You are the most talented of the three, just for the sake of the justice in your heart that is not worth any bullshit, look at the bastard like a dog. ”

"Hehe, you still have the face to say, eighty years ago, if it weren't for the two of you, would I have landed in this field now?"

"Blame us, we compensated you, but as a result, what kind of gentleman are you pretending, the beloved woman was snatched away by a waste, what do you call a dog here with me?"

"Don't say much, the Tao is not the same, right, okay, okay, you continue to be your righteous elder here, and I will go back to my outer gate to be the emperor of the soil. Let's talk about it first, it's not that simple this time. I know, those two little things have gone down the mountain, I can't do this thing, after all, I am also their little uncle, but let the two of them stay at the bottom of the mountain a little uncomfortable, I can still do it, I have asked people to give your two fat people a three-star thief order, the other party is a foundation building demon, if those two things can win, I will not investigate what happened last night, if they can't win, die outside, then they are also bad fate, with you such a master. ”

"You're doing it yourself!"

Lao Zhou said a lot in one breath, and when he was about to go out, he was still indignant in his heart, and he kicked and smashed the white jade fish tank that Elder Bai loved.

Elder Bai took a long breath after Lao Zhou left, crushed the teacup in his hand with a painful expression, stretched out his hand, and the white powder mixed with tea sprinkled on the ground, "Little bastard, you have to live well." ”

"Great Elder, is this the end of this matter, since that old man took over the affairs of this street, he has ruined a lot of our business openly and secretly. ”

The Zhou Zhuang family at the door saw Old Elder Zhou come out empty-handed, and knew that the matter had not been completed.

Elder Zhou glanced at Zhou Zhuang's family and said, "If you don't forget it, what can you do, how can you say it, that is also my second senior brother, and if you turn against each other, it is also the second senior brother, and the relationship between our senior brothers, you people don't understand." Although something unpleasant happened, the gambling house still has to be opened, Zhou Li is injured, I will match you with two other good hands, do a good job,. In addition, it is definitely not a problem for your son Zhou Hu to pass the mortal humanity of this autumn opening, and I will recommend him to enter the inner door next year. ”

After giving the order, Elder Zhou rode away on a dragon horse that symbolized his status.

Zhou Zhuangjia watched his master drift away, and the expression on his face changed from panic to determination.

After the Zhou Zhuang family knew that his master and Elder Bai still had such a relationship that was cut and unreasonable, he refused to continue to open a gambling house under Elder Bai's nose, and he was always wronged when he was sandwiched between the two eldest brothers, and he would suffer no matter what he did well or not.

It's just that as soon as he heard that his son Zhou Hu would soon be able to pass through mortal humanity, his motivation surged up.

He himself suffered the loss of no cultivation talent, so he fell into the end of showing people the gambling house now, and he was frightened when he went out of thousands every day, and he always had to be careful whether he was remembered, and he lived a life every day that he didn't know which one came first, accident or tomorrow.

The hardships he has endured are categorically not intended to be fed to his children, but fortunately, his son is not only talented, but also taken care of by the Great Elder of the Outer Gate, he feels that it is a gift from God, and he has made up his mind to give Elder Zhou a good look at the gambling house, and also to increase the daily income, expand the business, and strive to let those gamblers come in full, go out with a sense of bones, and go out naked.

That night, Xiao Ke and Yun Tu had already rushed to Luoshui Town to stay, waiting for the second senior brother that Elder Bai had said.
