Volume 1 The Tao is a Dream Chapter 4 Hope

When Tang Wu came back from outside, he was followed by a fat man, who turned out to be Xie Dong from Shunyi Restaurant.

Zhang Xuan looked at the rich dead air on Tang Wu's body, and expected that this guy must be seriously injured, otherwise he would not be able to take care of himself with even a little hot water.

"It's just... This guy doesn't usually take a shower at all, so what is he doing with hot water?"

Zhang Xuan has never taken a bath, his body is still very clean, Tang Wu once said that there is a "dust" formation in the store, as long as he is in the formation, he can remove all the dirt on his body.

There must be a demon when things go wrong, and there have been too many interesting things happening recently.

"Hehe, what's the fuss?"

Xie Dong walked out with a smile, saw Zhang Xuan in a daze, stretched out his hand and waved in front of Zhang Xuan, and quipped: "It won't be to see the little lady on the street, right?"

"What's the little lady, it's been autumn recently, and I didn't rest well at night, and I was distracted just now. ”

Zhang Xuan came back to his senses, and after a few nonsense words, he asked, "Smiling, did you encounter something good?"

When Xie Dong heard this, he looked around and whispered: "The shopkeeper Tang is really rich, I just burned him a medicinal bath, and he actually gave me this casually, you see." ”

With that, he spread out his hand, and in the palm of his hand lay a gold nugget the size of a thumb.

"Gold?"

Zhang Xuan was surprised, in his impression, Tang Wu was an extremely stingy old man, and today's move was too generous.

Xie Dong nodded, put away the gold, and said happily: "After boiling a few pots of medicine, the soup shopkeeper gave so much money, it wasn't his style, it made me a little flattered, and I almost didn't dare to ask for this thing." ”

"How many pots of medicine have you boiled?"

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized that Tang Wu didn't want to take a bath, but to heal his wounds, and he scolded in his heart: "Why doesn't this old guy die? If he dies, I will be free." ”

"Ah Xuan, why are you absent-minded today?"

Xie Dong looked at Zhang Xuan and said with some emotion: "I feel that you have changed, and you will pretend to be things in your heart, is this growth?"

Zhang Xuan smiled, did not respond positively to Xie Dong, and warned in a low voice: "You'd better keep the matter of Shopkeeper Tang secret, don't talk nonsense everywhere, he is a ruthless master, if you displease him, this piece of gold will be your life money." ”

Xie Dong's face changed greatly, his face was bloodless in an instant, and he was about to ask something, but Zhang Xuan suddenly gave him a look and stopped his questioning.

There were a few rapid coughs from the back of the shop, Zhang Xuan knew that the soup shopkeeper was in trouble, and the injuries on his body were probably not simple.

Xie Dong obviously also heard the cough, swallowed his saliva and said, "He won't be eavesdropping, right?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, that guy is very seriously injured, I just remind you, it is indispensable to guard against people, it is always right to be careful." ”

After the two talked nonsense for a few words, Xie Dong left with a heavy heart, Zhang Xuan saw that his face was not quite right, and suddenly said in a small voice: "Don't worry, that old guy is going to die, maybe he won't survive tonight, because he is seriously injured." ”

Xie Dong looked back in amazement, his heart was full of puzzlement, but he saw Zhang Xuan make a silent gesture to him and motioned for him to leave quickly.

As soon as Xie Dong walked on the front foot, someone walked into Xuantianfang on the back foot, a middle-aged man with a square head and a big face, with a small beard and a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it gave people a cold feeling.

He walked straight to the counter and said straight to the point: "I'm looking for the shopkeeper Tang, and if I trouble to report it, I will say that Ma Hao came to settle accounts with him." ”

"This guest officer, the shopkeeper is healing in the backyard, you have to go to the backyard to find it yourself. ”

Zhang Xuan walked out of the counter, shook the shackles on his body helplessly, and bit the word "healing" very hard, as if others didn't know.

"Boy, you're interesting. ”

Ma Hao stroked the goatee on his chin and walked straight to the backyard, and when he lifted the bead curtain, he suddenly turned around and said, "Get ready for freedom, smart boy." ”

Zhang Xuan scratched his head, smirked harmlessly at humans and animals, and didn't talk.

Rumble!

Thunderbolt!

Bang bang!

There was movement in the backyard, and the movement was not small, it seemed that there was a fierce fight.

Half an hour later, Ma Hao dragged his tired body out of the backyard, and when he passed the counter, he saw Zhang Xuan looking at him with a fearful face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lao Tzu never kills people who have no power to restrain chickens, nor does he kill mortals." ”

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and cowardly asked, "This guest officer, can you help me cut this chain?"

Ma Hao glanced at the shackles, shook his head slightly, and said: "The person who locked you here is an existence that I can't afford to provoke, forgive me for not being able to help, farewell!"

After Ma Hao finished speaking, he raised his feet and was about to leave.

Zhang Xuan was unwilling to give up, and begged again: "Senior, please show me the way, the villain is unforgettable." ”

Ma Hao turned his head and said categorically: "There is no cause and effect between you and me, you don't have to bother talking, I don't know you, I've never seen you, understand?"

Zhang Xuan's face was bitter, his eyes were full of unwillingness, he wanted to say something, but he was stuck in his throat and couldn't get out, he really had no reason to ask others to do things for him.

Ma Hao left without a trace of hesitation.

Zhang Xuan looked at his departing back, his heart was full of loss, although Tang Wu was dead, but this shackle was still on his foot, this thing was not an ordinary thing.

But soon he regrouped his mood and became a little happy, Tang Wu was dead, which was good news.

"As long as you can break free from the shackles of the shackles, the sky will be high in the future, and the future can be expected. ”

Zhang Xuan was in a good mood, closed the shop early, took out the food box and took out the steamed buns and pickles inside, poured another glass of boiled water, and ate it deliciously.

As he ate, tears welled up in his eyes, and he suddenly lost his appetite.

"I've grown so big, I've only eaten meat once, and now that Tang Wu is dead, the whole shop is mine, so I have to ask Xie Dong to open meat for me at night." ”

Thinking of this, he threw down his chopsticks, ready to save his stomach for how good it would be to eat at night.

When he was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he suddenly noticed a thin old book lying next to the counter, the paper was slightly yellow, and it fit with the wooden floor a little, which was not easy to find.

Picking up the book, he saw that there were four small words on the cover, "Basic Qi Induction", he opened it curiously and took a look, and was immediately attracted by the content inside.

"Well, I don't know most of the words in this, but it's really nerve-wracking. ”

Zhang Xuan took a thick dictionary, looked at it carefully, and it took three hours to mark the whole book clearly.

This is a book about "monks", Zhang Xuan roughly glanced at the table of contents and preface, which contains anecdotes about the "cultivation world", some common sense of cultivation, and a "qi induction technique" that can be cultivated, which can help ordinary people to draw qi into the body.
