Chapter 183: Conspiracy

The transactions in Jiangyuan City are divided by urban areas, and most of the western areas are dominated by various strange weapons, and some are said to be supernatural skills that can become peerless masters. Of course, this is just a sales gimmick, and it is unpleasant to deceive those young ladies who are not deep in the world in their heads, but have a lot of money in their pockets.

Compared with the single type of goods traded in the western area, the situation in the southern area can be described as a mixture of fish and dragons, although weapons and supernatural powers are not sold here, but the value of the things used for trading is even comparable to that of the legendary artifacts. And whether you can buy something truly valuable here depends on only one thing, and that is luck.

People with good fortune may have tripped over a small pebble while walking on the road, picked it up and took it home to see, it is the heavenly treasure in the top ten rare lists. As for the unlucky people, the treasures that may be summoned, are just ordinary things that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

Because of this, most of the people who come here have a gambler's mentality, with excitement in their eyes, to test their luck.

In the most prosperous street in the southern district, a young man looked anxiously and kept looking into the distance, as if he was looking for something. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and then shuttled in one direction, when he bumped into a sloppy man, he subconsciously wanted to dodge, and suddenly found that something was wrong, and hurriedly pressed the coarse cloth bag on his waist, and one hand was also reaching there.

"Hey, hey. Seeing that his deeds were revealed, the big man did not panic, but glared at Chen An viciously, retracted his hand, and then walked straight forward. Chen An didn't plan to chase him either, this person dared to leave so arrogantly after the theft was revealed, he must have something to rely on, and he was likely to put himself in danger if he went rashly.

It's just that after experiencing this incident, Chen An cautiously pressed his hand on the bag and walked towards the banyan tree. The banyan tree is at the end of the street, where there is a Taoist temple called the White Deer Temple. The banyan tree is at the entrance of the temple, its branches are covered with long strips of cloth, and people come here in pairs of men and women, praying for future happiness.

There was a group of people around under the banyan tree, and there was a noisy shouting sound, Chen An walked over curiously, and when he got closer, he faintly heard some words.

"You old Taoist, why are you scolding me, don't think that I won't dare to beat you when you're old. In the center of the crowd, a gorgeously dressed young man pointed at the old Taoist priest and said angrily, and next to him, there were several companions who were dissuading.

"Hey, you're unreasonable, when did I scold you. Opposite the man sat an old man in a Taoist robe, with two mustaches, narrow eyes, and a thin face, which was described as somewhat obscene. His clothes were messy, which should have been caused by an argument with the man and being pushed and shoved.

"I just asked, what are you? You beat me, it's so unreasonable. The old Taoist priest's tone was innocent, but his expression was arrogant, and the young man was even more embarrassed and angry, and said angrily: "You scold again?"

Lao Dao snorted coldly, then got up, took a few steps back, made his clothes even more messy, and then shouted loudly towards the Taoist temple: "Senior brothers, help! I was beaten again! Hurry up and copy the guy to avenge me!"

Chen An couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, in his heart, Taoist priests were not smiling, they looked like people outside the world, and it was the first time he had seen such a gang person's behavior. At the same time, he was puzzled, the enthusiastic stall owner let him find this person, looking at him, he didn't look like a reliable person.

So he walked to the crowd to watch the excitement, and when he was about to ask someone, a man turned around, glanced Chen An up and down, and said with a smile: "Look at your appearance, it should be the first time to come." ”

Chen An was surprised: "How do you know?" The man laughed and did not answer, but pointed to the old Taoist priest who was shouting at the top of the crowd and asked, "Are you here to find him?" Chen An was even more surprised at this time, and hurriedly said, "How do you know." ”

The man shook his head with a smile, and replied, "It seems that another one has been fooled." When Chen An heard this, he felt a thrill in his head, and asked, "You said I was fooled, why did you say that." ”

This time, the man did not answer, and looked at Chen An with a smile, Chen An was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood. He took out a small piece of golden light from the coarse cloth bag, and then asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency what to call it." ”

The man took it and put it in his mouth and bit it with his teeth, nodded with satisfaction, and after putting it away, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the coarse cloth bag on Chen An's waist, and then said slowly: "It's inconvenient to reveal my name to you, you just call me a kind person." After speaking, he glanced at Chen An again and sighed: "You, you still have less knowledge, and you like to be greedy and cheap, and you don't think you're smart." ”

Chen An nodded again and again when he heard this, recalling the scene that happened just now, but it was not because he wanted to take the treasure knife and knife book for nothing, so he made a statement to coax the enthusiastic stall owner, so what happened later. It's just that he wonders how the enthusiastic stall owner can recognize and make the next move, his thoughts are only improvised.

The man looked straight at Chen An, observed the change in the expression on his face, seemed to guess what he was thinking, and said: "Look at you, don't you have less knowledge, let me tell you, there is a kind of treasure called twin sound worms, as long as you and I take one each, then your voice here will come to my side, of course, you can also hear my voice." ”

Chen An suddenly realized that he had indeed seen a fly like a fly lying on his stomach on the ear of the enthusiastic stall owner before, and he didn't care about it at the time, but now he thinks that it should be a twin sound worm. At that moment, anger appeared on his face, and he said hatefully: "It turns out that these are all ghosts they did, and I was too naΓ―ve." ”

After speaking, he was a little puzzled, and asked: "Then how dare they pretend to be people from the government, once they are caught, the crime is not light." The man shook his head repeatedly, then bent the index fingers of both hands in a gesture of hooking together. Chen An understood, and then with a trace of doubt in his eyes, he asked the man: "So, then why did they lie to me like this?" ”

"Nature is your money. The man looked at the coarse cloth bag on Chen An's waist, then glanced back at the old Taoist priest, and continued: "When you go to the old Taoist priest, he will tell you that he knows that official, as long as you are willing to give some money, he will naturally help you settle things." ”

As soon as Chen An heard this, he suddenly stopped worrying in his heart, and said in his heart that if those people were seeking wealth, they would naturally not hurt Da Mao, but on the contrary, they would use various hints to urge themselves to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster. It's just that he was greedy for cheapness first, and when he learned that he was deceived, he was also remorseful, but now the most important thing is to rescue Damao. But before that, he still had some doubts in his heart, so he looked up at the man and asked, "Good Samaritan senior, why are you telling me this." ”

"Hmph. Hearing this, the man's face showed anger and replied, "It's not a secret, I was cheated of a lot of money like this in the first place, and in hindsight, I was as unwilling as you, but I was weak alone, and I couldn't take revenge." I have to block here every day and persuade people like you to repent in time, which can be regarded as a lesson for them. ”

After listening to the man's words, Chen An suddenly stood in awe, "The seniors can have this kind of courage and perseverance, which is really admirable to the younger generations." After speaking, he got a little closer, and said tentatively: "Why don't you and I join forces and pit them once?"

The man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, as if he was interested, and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?" Chen An smiled, pulled the man to a relatively clean place, and then whispered: "Later, I still have to go to the old Taoist, and when the time comes, when I prepare the money to hand over to the catcher, you will hide aside and print these pictures with supernatural powers, and then we will use this to pretend to threaten them, that person must want to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster in order to keep his official position, and our money will not come back again." ”

"High, really high!" The man's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up to Chen An, Chen An smiled, patted the man's shoulder, and said, "I'll go down and find the old Taoist." You'll always follow me. The man nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, the matter over there has calmed down, but there seems to be no one in the Taoist temple to come out to support, because the stall where the old Taoist priest set up a hexagram was smashed to pieces, and his hair was scattered.

The old Taoist priest was startled at first, covered his face and looked up, and after seeing that it was a young man with a beautiful face, he waved his hand angrily and said, "Didn't you see Daoist I was bitten by a dog today, it's not a hexagram, come tomorrow." ”

Chen An's face was anxious, and he said, "It was the enthusiastic stall owner who asked me to come to you." The old Taoist priest was stunned when he heard this, then slowly raised his head and glanced at Chen An, silently put down the things he had packed, stood up and said to Chen An: "It's not convenient to talk here, come with me." Then he turned and walked towards the temple.

Seeing this, Chen An turned his head and glanced at him, and then followed. The old Taoist priest did not walk through the gate of the Taoist temple. Instead, he took Chen An to the side door and walked to the side door, and after arriving at the side door, the old Taoist priest went in first, let Chen An wait outside, and after closing the door for a while, he opened the door and pulled Chen An in.

The old Taoist priest took Chen An to a room, sat on a chair and picked up the teacup, squinted at Chen An, and then asked slowly, "What is the matter with him asking you to come to me?" ”

Chen An told the old Taoist priest about the matter, and the old Taoist frowned when he heard it, his fingers slowly tapped on the table, and he said to himself: "This matter is not easy to settle." Seeing the appearance of the old Taoist, Chen An sneered in his heart, but still made an anxious expression on his face, and said eagerly: "Please be sure to help." As he spoke, he took out a stack of golden things from the coarse cloth bag.

The old Taoist's eyes suddenly straightened, and then he let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: "It's okay, it's okay, the poor Taoist sees that you are destined for me, so I will help you with this favor." Chen An hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, senior." The old Taoist priest hummed lightly and replied, "You go outside first and wait for a while, and I will come out when I am ready." ”

Chen An nodded, turned around and walked out of the door, and after closing the door, he released his spiritual power to probe inward, and sure enough, he was overjoyed to see the old Taoist priest holding the gold nugget. sneered in his heart: "The bad old man is really pregnant, let you be happy for a while, and then let you know how powerful the master is." ”

At this time, a little Taoist priest walked in, the little Taoist priest was about seven or eight years old, born with red lips and white teeth, quite lovable, Chen An wanted to pinch his face when he saw it. I saw that the little Taoist priest glanced at Chen An, and then ran to the door, first turned his back to Chen An, took out two things from his sleeve, I don't know what he was doing, and then banged on the door vigorously, shouting: "Senior brother, senior brother, Master called you over!"

The old Taoist priest's voice scolded and scolded, "If you don't go, you must be scolding me, and you will say that I am not there." The little Taoist priest replied: "Master had long expected you to say this, and Master also said that if you don't go, he will use his magic power on top of your head, and conjure up the word liar, so that others can see it at a glance." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door was slammed open, and the old Taoist priest hugged the little Taoist priest angrily, covered his mouth with his hand, and scolded: "Didn't you just buy you a sugar gourd, you slandered your senior brother's reputation out of thin air."

Then he looked at Chen An, his expression changed, and he said with a smile: "Haha, my little junior brother is the most naughty, don't listen to his nonsense." You go outside and wait under the banyan tree first, and the old Taoist priest will come out to find you later. After speaking, he closed the door and left with the little Taoist priest in his arms.

Chen An touched his nose, suddenly felt a little interesting, and when he was about to leave, he saw a small piece of paper pasted under the door, so he curiously walked over and tore it off to see, and when he saw the content written on the paper, he couldn't help but look at it, and blurted out: "I'll go to your uncle!"
