It was already afternoon, and the caravan stopped moving forward and began to cook.

The old man Tao told the story that their caravan came from Qingluan country, Qingluan country is close to the desert grassland, relatively speaking, the territory is vast, and the products are quite rich, and the Tao family is a merchant in the Qingluan country, with the exploration of the ancestors, out of several trade routes, north and south sales of goods, earn the price difference, the Tao family is skyrocketing, rich and rival the country. However, a small family actually became a business giant, and soon was jealous of others, and people didn't care if you went through several generations of hard work and what kind of heavy price you paid, people only saw your luxurious life. The people in the officialdom came to pick peaches and exploit them layer by layer. In the end, the head of the family felt aggrieved, found the king through the relationship, and promised to pay forty percent of the income in addition to paying taxes normally, just in exchange for national security, and the road was smooth. The king also felt that he could get a large amount of wealth for no reason, and it was voluntary, and it would not cause any public anger, so he agreed. What does the king say, he is shrewd in big things, confused in small things, and never carefully examines the money handed over by the head of the family. It is said that businessmen are profitable, but in fact, everyone is not exempt from vulgarity, but it is just that businessmen have easier access to money, and it is huge wealth, so it is just true. Of course, the head of the Tao family is not exempt from vulgarity, saying that he handed over forty percent of the benefits, but in fact, only two percent were actually handed over. As the king grew older, he was dying of old age, and he listened to rumors that there was an elixir that could prolong his life, so he ordered the head of the family to find it, otherwise he would liquidate the crime of bullying the king in the family over the years, and all the property would be confiscated, the descendants would be beheaded, and the rest would be confiscated and distributed. Of course, I found it, and I was exempted from all crimes, and I would be rewarded with a gold medal for forgiveness. The family has no way, mobilize all the relationships, find Yingxue City, and know that there is an elixir there, but the fairy's trading goods are different from our ordinary people, not yellow and white things, it is a transparent stone, and the head of the family spent several years of income to exchange a few pieces, but others say that the quality is good, and the king also gathered the strength of the whole country to make up twelve pieces.

We came to Yingxue City, entered a shop called Caiyun Zhai, and asked carefully, people were not bad, did not look down on us, told us that there is actually no elixir for longevity, if there is, those immortals in our mouth are not dead, and even if there is, it is not something that ordinary people like us can afford. However, I heard that we were just renewing the life of a normal old man, so they took out the Huiguang Pill and introduced that this pill was for the cultivators to renew their life, but the realm should not be too high, and it was only for a few months, at most a year. However, for ordinary people, it is not easy to say, it may be a matter of decades, ten years, and no one has tried it, maybe it is the same as a practitioner. In the end, we decided to buy it, but there were not enough stones, that is, the spirit stones used by the practitioners. In the end, I discussed with the shopkeeper, we provided them with ten years of supply for free, and they were still very interested in our goods.

Zu Zhenlin listened to the old man Tao's story, and felt that the Tao family's head of the family was a little unauthentic, and he promised others things, but he had to lie about it. However, Zhenlin has not entered the WTO deeply, and he does not know what is involuntary and helpless. However, he sympathized with that old man even more, if he knew that the pill he had robbed by the wicked would only last for a few months, at most a year, would he regret it, shouldn't he? Even if he could only live one more day, some people were willing to pay a great price.

Old Man Tao pointed to the swordsman beside him, and then said, he is the old man's brother of the opposite sex, a friend of life and death, don't look at him with a young face, in fact, he is also middle-aged. And the other person is his junior brother, but he didn't expect that a person can change so much from being upright to chasing fame and fortune.

Zu Zhenlin looked at the swordsman beside him, his face was smooth and his appearance was young, he really didn't expect that he was already a middle-aged man.

The swordsman looked guilty, "It's me who doesn't know anyone, and I'm a burden to everyone." ”

"How can I blame you for this, you are also kind enough to help me, no one can imagine what will happen. Old Man Tao comforted.

"Childe, our affairs have been made clear to you, and for the rest, let our little boy talk to you alone. After Old Man Tao finished speaking, he and his swordsman friend got up and bowed again, and then left.

Tao Ren had actually been looking at Zu Zhenlin, and his eyes were full of novelty.

"Am I good-looking? It's worth keeping your eyes on me. Zu Zhenlin asked after the two of them left.

Tao Ren scratched his head, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful, I finally saw an immortal cultivator, and you didn't want me to take a closer look?"

"Xiuxian, you are big, I can't fly. You say you didn't expect me to be so good, that means you know I have some skills? I feel like I'm hiding it well, how do you see it?"

"You are very well hidden, how can I see it with my naked eyes, but it seems that when we first met, I told you, my intuition is very accurate, I didn't lie to you, otherwise I am such a child, I can't fight, I don't know how to heal, I'm a burden, why take me out? I can take them to avoid evil, of course, not everything, for example, if you like a girl, if you let me feel if you can sleep with her, I don't know. ”

"Fuck off, I could really blow your head off. Zu Zhenlin threatened.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, let me go. Tao Ren also pretended to beg for mercy.

"There will be a next time, no mercy. ”

"Be merciful to more heroes. Tao Ren cooperated tacitly.

The two looked at each other and laughed heartily, sweeping away their previous embarrassment.

Tao Ren continued: "This time I came out, I was a little apprehensive and restless, but the transactions to Yingxue City were smooth and smooth, until I left the city and set off for home, my feeling became stronger and stronger, and there was no life, which is why you follow us, why his grandfather and them are so nervous." ”

Zu Zhenlin interrupted: "Your Grandpa Tao is good to me, and he apologizes to me or something." ”

"It's just a white face and a red face, the caravan is cautious, but it also tries not to offend people, this is one way. After I talked to you, I had a feeling that you could help us, of course, at that time I didn't know that you had the ability, but a dead horse was a live horse doctor. After arriving at the inn, that person wanted to kill Su Tang and run for his life, I was next to you at the time, and my intuition told me that it was you who rescued people. And I observed that the man surnamed Ma mentioned this, which was also a little unnatural and embarrassing, and I was even more convinced, so I coaxed you here. ”

"I really fell for you, there is no beauty in the desert at all, you made it up. ”

"Why, what I said is true, it's just that it's hard to meet. Tao Ren called Qu Dao.

"Then did you also feel that there was something wrong with the quality of that surnamed Ma, so you hated him? Didn't you tell them?"

Speaking of which, I think you have a problem, you are obviously very powerful, but you still have to pretend to worship others and please others, are you a bit perverted, you like to see people's surprised expressions, you will feel very happy. ”

"What nonsense, I'm just low-key, I don't like publicity, then others see me as a bully, come to beat me, I'm just in defense, but seeing their unbelievable faces, I feel a little refreshed, out of my bad breath. ”

"Childe, it's time to eat. Someone shouted in the distance.

Zu Zhenlin walked over, and the others all stood up, with reverence and admiration on their faces, and when Zhenlin and Tao Ren began to eat, they did their own thing. Zhenlin had a good impression of their approach, and as soon as they saw that they were very powerful, they hurriedly came up to flatter themselves, wanting to get some benefits from them. Instead, he still treats himself as before, but with more respect and gratitude.

After Zu Zhenlin finished eating, he wanted to go to the convenience of the family, so he happened to pass by the side of the surnamed Ma.

The man surnamed Ma had woken up, the blood had been stopped, his face was dead, and his eyes were dull. However, after seeing Zu Zhenlin, his eyes showed hatred, his face was full of hideousness, and he roared angrily: "Why? Why? Obviously, you are so powerful, you can save us casually, do you like to see us crawling in front of you like a reptile, please have mercy, come, look, I will kneel in front of you now." ”

The surnamed Ma yelled and was about to struggle to get up.

"I don't like to see you struggling on the ground like a reptile, but you're a reptile yourself, and I can't save you. Besides, why should I save you, I save you with affection, and it is my duty not to save you. You are greedy for life and afraid of death, I really can't save you. ”

The surnamed Ma listened to Zu Zhenlin's words, stopped struggling, knelt on the ground, and quieted down.

Old Man Tao heard the movement here and walked over with his swordsman friend. Zu Zhenlin didn't wait for them to approach, and hurriedly ran away to solve the bladder.

After Zu Zhenlin walked back, Senior Brother Swordsman asked, "Childe, what is your opinion on what to do with me, Senior Brother?"

Zu Zhenlin shook his head again and again, saying that it was none of his business, this was their master's business, and he couldn't take care of it.

After eating, they packed up their belongings and continued on their journey, leaving a skeleton in the desert.

Zu Zhenlin rode on the horse, closed his eyes and recuperated, thinking back to the events along the way, and was a little alert and scared in his heart. I'm close to them.,I think I'm superior.,Have the mind of playing the world.,But I didn't expect that I was actually being used by a child.,Although this child is too mature in thinking.,But after all, it's still a child.,Fortunately, he didn't want to harm himself.。 I still wasn't careful enough to underestimate others. Being able to be like a fish in water in the rivers and lakes cannot be underestimated, regardless of whether the rivers and lakes are a sea or a small pool. This is the first time that Zhenlin agrees with his father's second uncle's statement from the bottom of his heart, 'Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years', otherwise the ship will be destroyed and people will die, and there will be no chance to go ashore, and it will be too late to regret it."
