Chapter 5 Boarding the Thief Ship

In the hotel room, the atmosphere was very depressing, whether it was a wood merchant, Mu Wen or Mu Wu, they all thought that Mu Yi would die.

Shaolan didn't give up thinking hard, he even thought about asking to see Baron Momiji, convincing him by eloquence, or robbing the prison or something, but he gave up.

This is obviously not feasible, or the success rate is too low.

And at this time, it is still very difficult to say that there is no Taoism or Buddhism yet.

The source of Taoism in the previous life was Lao Tzu, Buddhism has not yet been introduced, and may not even have been born, although it is not ancient here, but it is somewhat similar.

So there is no religion here.

As a veteran reader, he quickly thought of another way.

But hesitant, because there is no religion, no superstition, can it really bluff people?

The upset Shaolan was about to pour a cup of tea, only to find that it had already been drunk by the three who sighed.

Shaolan had no choice but to go downstairs to ask for boiling water.

Walking to the staircase, I happened to hear the conversation between the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, in three days, I want to take a day off to worship Qinglong."

"Hahaha, is it for your family?"

"Yes, I'm nine months pregnant, and I can give birth at any time, this is a ghost gate."

"It's okay, it's going to be closed that day, the green dragon that the lords are sacrificing must be very effective, and I'm going to pray for blessings."

……

After that, Shaolan didn't listen to it anymore and immediately went back to the room.

He found himself trapped in habitual thinking, and not having the Buddha doesn't mean not believing in it.

In this era of no religious beliefs, there are more gods and ghosts, beliefs are more chaotic, and people are more superstitious.

"I've got a way."

Mu Wen and the others were stunned and looked at Shaolan in disbelief.

"What's the solution?"

"I beg the green dragon to wish each other."

!???

Mu Wen and the others looked confused, as if they were listening to the Arabian Nights.

"Wood merchant, you are familiar with the market, buy me a large number of soybeans and hoes at once."

"Muwen, you can find a way to get me a green dragon statue."

"Mu Wu, you come with me to the Red Leaf Temple."

"Good!" Mu Wen took the lead in agreeing, Mu Wu had no opinion, and the wood merchant who was in charge of the money wanted to ask Shaolan what was the use of buying soybeans.

Seeing that Mu Wen and Mu Wu both stood up and prepared to act, they hesitated for a moment and finally held back.

First, soybeans are not expensive.

Second, soybeans can also be brought back to Muyi, no.

Following Shaolan out of the hotel, Mu Wu couldn't help it, "Can you really let Qinglong help us?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm 90% sure."

No matter how Mu Wu asked, Shao Lan didn't elaborate.

The Red Leaves Castle is not far from the Autumn Leaves Observatory, on the nearby hills, and it takes half an hour to walk.

At this time, there are many soldiers standing guard outside the Momiji Temple, which is to prevent the Momiji Temple from being destroyed.

Shaolan and the others are naturally not qualified to enter the Red Leaves Temple.

The red leaves view could not enter, so Shaolan had to find a suitable place outside the view.

First of all, the place should be crowded enough to attract the attention of others.

Secondly, the place should be easy to move around, and digging at night will not alarm others.

Finally, it is necessary to facilitate the removal of props without arousing suspicion.

After walking back and forth several times, Shaolan finally demarcated a small flat land by the bend not far from the red leaf view.

Let Mu Wu remember the place together, and Shaolan immediately returned to the city.

When Shaolan returned to the hotel, the wood merchant and Mu Wen were already waiting for him.

The carpenter bought two bags of soybeans, and the green dragon wood carving that Muwen bought was only one foot high.

"It's too small, isn't it?"

Shaolan was speechless.

"There are big ones in the carpenter's shop, but the price is more expensive."

"It's okay, leave and take me to the carpenter's shop."

Mu Wen looked at the red glow outside, "That carpenter shop is outside the city, the city gate will be closed after you go out, let's go again tomorrow." ”

Shaolan was overjoyed, "It's better outside the city, let's check out the carpenter shop immediately, and find another hotel outside the city at night." ”

Mu Shang, Mu Wu, and Mu Wen wanted to visit the night market and didn't want to leave.

"It's important to save people, whether I can save my father depends on tonight, there's no time to delay, go."

Shaolan took the lead, and when the three of them heard that it was related to saving Mu Yi, they didn't dare to delay at the moment.

Before the gates were closed, the four of them hurried to the carpenter's shop outside the city.

"It's getting late, if you want to buy Qinglong wood carvings, please be early tomorrow."

The carpenter was overjoyed, he saw the opportunity quickly, he was prepared, business was very good today, and he made a lot of money.

"Wait, I'm willing to pay double the price for the Qinglong wood carving." Shaolan hurriedly spoke.

When the carpenter saw that the group of four was led by the youngest Shaolan, he guessed that it was a noble child, and he didn't dare to slack off.

"This son, please."

The carpenter opened the door.

Because it was dark, the light in the room was even more dim, and the statue could not be seen clearly.

The carpenter reluctantly lit an oil lamp.

Shaolan went straight to the big green dragon statue, which was more than eighty centimeters high.

"How much does this statue cost?"

"2 runs and 200 texts, even if you have 2 runs." The carpenter directly opened twice the price.

"How can this be reasonable, you are robbing money." The carpenter was furious.

The carpenter bowed his head and did not speak, and he did not dare to resist until he understood their situation.

"Okay, just 2 times." As he spoke, Shaolan thought of another loophole in his plan.

"Childe is really a dragon and a phoenix." The carpenter laughed, "I don't know where Childe lives, I'll send you to the house." ”

"This statue still needs you to help me work on it overnight, and the salary will be doubled."

The wood merchant was immediately unhappy and wanted to stop Shaolan, but was stopped by Mu Wen.

"Childe, please."

Shaolan asked for the banknotes, and casually asked the carpenter, "Your Excellency is a good craft, I don't know how much money you need to hire you." ”

A blazing flame ignited in the carpenter's eyes, when an ordinary carpenter is too hard and tired, and there is no guarantee in all aspects, those who can hire carpenters are nobles.

After some consideration, the carpenter said, "The minimum annual money is ten yuan or thirty stone of grain." ”

"Okay, after three days, if what I ask comes true, my Mu clan will give you 35 stone (year)."

"Really?" The carpenter was inexplicably excited.

Mu Wen and the three of them were unconscious, and they didn't dissuade them, because what Shaolan said didn't count at all.

"You don't joke, but no matter what you see or hear these days, keep your mouth shut, and your wife and children can't say it, otherwise you will be killed."

The carpenter was startled, and then realized that he might have been on the thief ship.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

Saying that, Shaolan thought for a while, and wrote down the eight words that wood is a pillar and cannot be broken.

"Engrave these eight words on the statue of the green dragon."

The carpenter hesitated for a moment, the lord Baron Momiji wanted to sacrifice the green dragon, but these people wanted to tinker with the green dragon, and suddenly felt like they were on the edge of the abyss, and they didn't dare to act rashly.

"You don't have to be afraid, my name is Mu Lan, and I am here to save my father Mu Yi, so I implore Qinglong to help, you can rest assured, and you can see that there is a problem with these eight characters."

The carpenter smiled awkwardly and did not speak, and regretted it psychologically.

Or don't you want to escape?

The carpenter is aiming for a way to escape.
