Chapter 12: Chance Encounters
"It's disgusting, this guy was poisoned by a toad!"
Anu saw the death of the antique dealer, and even she, who played Gu worms all year round, was a little sick to her stomach.
Huang Shang nodded: "This person's Yin Tang is purple, his face is covered with blue-green tumors, and he obviously died of severe poison, and there are no fierce beasts in this mountain, but there are many toads, presumably he was poisoned by these toads." ”
"Don't you think something is wrong!" Anu said: "Even if it is Miaojiang, there is no whole mountain with only toads. ”
Huang Shang nodded: "It should be someone or a monster, keep moving forward and see if you can find the mastermind behind the scenes." ”
"Okay." Anu rewrapped the burden and said, "Anyway, this man is dead, so let's help him spend this money!" ”
"Seeing that you are so skilled, you have done a lot of things to make money from dead people before, right?" Huang Shangdao.
"That's how it is to fight, if you lose, everything on your body belongs to someone else; If you win, everything in others is your own. Anu said: "Don't look at me young, I went to the battlefield to kill the enemy at the age of eleven." ”
“……”
Zhao Ling'er was shocked: "Eleven years old!?" ”
"Princess, Miao Jiang's current situation is very cruel." Anu carried the burden and said: "If you don't kill people, others will kill you, so we look forward to the princess going back as soon as possible, you are the daughter of the previous generation of sacrifices, as long as you find the water spirit bead, you will definitely be able to help us pray for rain successfully, so that there will be no war." ”
Zhao Ling'er said this, and a sense of mission arose.
A big hand patted her head gently, Zhao Ling'er turned her head, and saw Huang Shang smiling at her: "Don't think about it, it's just a drought, there will be a way." ”
Zhao Ling'er suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and smiled back: "Hmm." ”
……
At the end of Toad Mountain, there was originally a suspension bridge, but when the four of them came here, they found that the suspension bridge had been artificially destroyed. ”
Huang Shangdao: "We can go over, but for ordinary people, it has become a dead end, let's look around here!" It should be the culprit that caused the toads everywhere. ”
"Didn't we pass by a cave before!" Anu said: "I don't think it looks like a cave of wild beasts, but it looks like it was carved out by man, and maybe the mastermind behind it is there." ”
"Then let's go!" Zhao Ling'er said: "Solve it as soon as possible, and let ordinary people pass normally as soon as possible." ”
Everyone nodded and went back the way they came.
Soon, the four of them came to the cave, and Anu compared the height of the cave and said, "Sure enough, it can be passed, and I smell a smell of fat powder, there may be a woman in it." ”
"You've got a pretty good nose." Huang Shangdao.
"Of course, my nose is more sensitive than a dog!" Anu was triumphant.
“……”
Zhao Ling'er chuckled lightly and said, "Let's go in!" ”
"Okay."
When you enter the cave, you will see a bunch of poisonous insects and toads, and they are very large, and they look like they are about to become sperm.
Anu's eyes lit up, and he said, "There are a lot of poisonous insects, help me catch them, help me catch them, I want to take them back and feed my Gu worms." ”
"Dead, okay?" Huang Shang asked.
"No problem." Anu said: "Don't talk about the dead, you can cook it." ”
Whew-
A flame burned towards the poisonous insects and toads in the cave, and the flames passed everywhere, screaming again and again, and the smell of meat was bursting.
Anu was stunned: No, I'll just say casually, you really cooked it for me?
At this moment, an angry cry came from the depths of the cave: "Who dares to burn my home!" ”
"Yikes! Someone! Zhao Ling'er exclaimed in surprise and said, "Brother Shang, stop quickly, don't hurt the good people by mistake." ”
Huang Shang stopped firing the flames, and easily collected the poisonous insects and toads on the ground that had been roasted into the storage ring, and there were tens of thousands of them in total, because the fire was controlled, these poisonous insects and toads were only roasted but not scorched, and they were used to feed the Gu insects, and the heat was just right.
Anu was full of envy: "It's good to have a storage ring." ”
Huang Shangdao: "I have a magic weapon for storage, but it can't be guaranteed, and it's not too big, do you want it?" ”
"Yes!" Anu nodded excitedly: "I don't want to be too big, it's enough to have a tent as big." ”
"Lucky for you, my magic weapon is just the size of a tent." Huang Shang threw her a Qiankun bag and said, "I'll teach you a formula, and you must have a formula for retracting and releasing it." ”
"Uh-huh."
Anu came over with his ears, listened to Huang Shang's words, and then tried to put his salute and the rich merchant's package inside. Seeing that it was successful, Anu said excitedly: "Great, it will be much easier for me to travel in the future." ”
"......" Zhao Ling'er looked at Huang Shang and pursed her lips: "Brother Shang......"
Huang Shang comforted: "Don't think about it, I will take the time to refine a higher-level storage magic weapon, and give it to Anu as an ordinary magic weapon like the Qiankun bag!" ”
Zhao Ling'er instantly smiled like a flower: "Hmm." ”
Anu suddenly felt that the Qiankun bag was not fragrant: "I also want better." ”
"The most important thing to be a human being is contentment." Huang Shang glanced at her: "Greed is not enough, and he will only draw water with a bamboo basket." ”
"What does it mean to draw water with a bamboo basket?" Anu was puzzled.
"It's empty." Huang Shangdao.
“……”
Anu wanted to babble a few words, but a woman in yellow with a hideous face had already rushed over on a huge toad, and asked with a gloomy face, "You burned my home?" ”
"Wow! What a big toad! Zhao Ling'er and Anu were a little shocked, this toad was also too big, I am afraid it was as big as a buffalo.
Huang Shang said: "Don't misunderstand, girl, we just found that there are too many poisonous insects here, and for the sake of safety, we set a fire, but I didn't expect this to be the girl's home, and please don't blame the girl." ”
The woman in yellow looked at Huang Shang's face, her hideous expression instantly converged, covered half of her ruined face with her long hair, and said softly: "Although those who don't know are not guilty, but after all, you set fire to my home, how do you compensate me?" ”
“……”
"What to lose!" Anu knew at a glance that this woman was uneasy and kind, and snorted coldly: "There are poisonous insects and toads everywhere, but you say that this is your home, it seems that you are the one who raises these poisonous insects and toads, look at half of your face is rotten, you must have been eaten by poisonous insects!" Deserve! ”
"You-" The woman in yellow was provoked by Anu with the most sensitive nerves, and anger and madness flashed in her eyes: "Look for death!" ”
Anu is really a bear child, there is not enough success, and there is more than enough failure, originally Huang Shangdu used his appearance to capture the woman in yellow, but she made such a fuss, and the means of peaceful settlement were completely blocked.
Huang Shang sighed: Forget it, let's fight!
This woman in yellow was originally a poor woman, but now she has fallen into the devil's path, even if she stays, it will be a scourge, so in addition to her, it is better to vote for a good family as soon as possible and live a good life in the next life.
There was no suspense in the outcome of the battle, and in the end, the woman in yellow was burned alive by Anu with a fire killing curse, and her soul was stripped out by Huang Shang, planning to find a good family for her to reincarnate, which can be regarded as a good fate.
As for the toad, Huang Shang took it upon himself to finish it off and obtained the Five Poison Beads from his abdomen.
This time, Anu didn't rob him, the five poison beads are used to detoxify, and she is playing with Gu, the five poison beads can detoxify, but they can't solve Gu. Anu didn't care at all.
Solved the woman in yellow, and burned down the poisonous insect and toad hole, and a group of four people walked all the way to the suspension bridge of the mountain road, Huang Shang unearthed a spell and directly built a stone bridge to connect the cliffs on both sides.
Anu looked envious: "It's really good to know the earth spell, not only can you build a house, but also a bridge." ”
"It's a talent that can't be envied." Huang Shang said: "Your Gu Technique and Fire Spell are very good, study hard, cultivate hard, and you will definitely have some achievements in the future." ”
"But it's not convenient at all when you travel." Anu said, "If I knew how to use earth-based spells, I would be able to conjure up a house and sleep while I was on my way." ”
"Actually, the best thing to do is not to go far away." Huang Shang said: "As long as you stay at home all the time, you will never have to worry about not having a house to live in." ”
Anu rolled her eyes, "You will say cool words, princess, grandma, let's go!" Ignore him. ”
Zhao Ling'er grinned, and grandma also smiled, and followed Anu to cross the bridge first.
Huang Shang played with the purple gold gourd, and the group of four continued to embark on the journey.
After crossing the mountain road, the four of them came to a land and water wharf, which is already the gateway to the capital, and they can enter the capital along the river by boat.
Huang Shang and his entourage did not meet Mrs. Shangshu who came here to offer incense, so they successfully rented a boat and headed towards the capital.
Standing on the boat, enjoying the scenery on both sides of the strait, the four of them were a little relaxed. Especially Anu, his eyes were a little hazy, "It would be nice if Miaojiang also had a lot of rivers like here." ”
Huang Shang said: "Don't worry! When I arrive in Dali, I will find a way to solve the problem of water shortage in Miaojiang. ”
Anu looked at him and said, "If you can solve it, let me do anything." ”
Huang Shang smiled slightly: "There is a place for you." ”
Half an hour later, the four of them disembarked in the capital, and Zhao Linger and Anu were amazed when they saw that this place was more prosperous than Yangzhou.
"Let's go!" Huang Shang beckoned them to follow.
"Where are you going?" Anu asked.
"My house here." Huang Shangdao.
"Huh!?" Not only Anu, but Zhao Ling'er and her grandmother were also shocked: "You also have a house in the capital?" ”
"What is this?" Huang Shang said: "I have real estate in all cities and towns in the world, and even Dali has my house. ”
"......," Anu asked, "Where is your Dali mansion?" ”
"In the east of Dali, the Han-style house is my property." Huang Shang said.
"Ahh It turns out that the mansion is yours! Anu seemed a little excited: "Great, I always wanted to go in and play, but I always couldn't get in, and when I got to Dali, you have to take me in to play." ”
"No problem."
Walking through the lively streets, Huang Shang led the three of them to his mansion here.
"Welcome home, young master."
It was the family and the maid on both sides again, Huang Shang nodded, and asked Zhao Ling'er and them to bathe and change their clothes, and then eat the wind feast.
Zhao Linger and Anu are very happy, they like to bathe in Huang Shang's house the most, and they are really comfortable when they take a bath and make soap.
Grandma sighed with emotion: "At first, I only thought that Huang Gongzi was a powerful monk, but I didn't expect that even his wealth was the best in the world. ”
Huang Shang shook his head: "I don't dare to be the best in the world, but I just have some real estate in the world." After a few days of hurrying, grandma must be a little tired, take a bath and change clothes early, and rest early after the wind reception! ”
Grandma nodded with a smile and followed the maid to enjoy.
Not long after, when the four of them sat down to eat together, Anu leaned back on a chair and relaxed his face: "It's so comfortable!" When I return to Dali, I will have someone to help me take a bath and make soap every day, and then take a comfortable hot bath. ”
Huang Shang said: "The soaps I have here are all specially made, not anywhere else. ”
"It's okay." Anu grinned and said: "Anyway, you also have a house in Dali, I will go to your house to bathe every day in the future, and the people in your family can't drive me away!" ”
"......" Huang Shang said: "You girl, you are a lot of cleverness." ”
"Is this a compliment to my cleverness? Hee-hee, everybody says so. Anu triumphantly took a bite of salted duck: "Hmm~~ delicious!" ”
“……”
After a night's rest, after breakfast the next day, Huang Shang took Zhao Ling'er and Anu out to play.
Grandma is old, and every time she rushes, she grits her teeth and insists, so every time she arrives in the town and enters the residential courtyard, she will stay in the courtyard to rest and relieve the fatigue of the body, but after a day's rest today, I found that the body did not recover much, but became more and more soft.
"Alas! Old. ”
When grandma sighed at home, Zhao Linger and Anu had a lot of fun.
This capital is indeed more prosperous and interesting than Yangzhou and Suzhou, there are a lot of delicious and fun, especially roadside juggling, although it is not difficult in their opinion, but they are still full of interest, applauded again and again, and the reward is also very generous, so that these street artists are very happy, and the performance is more and more hard.
"Huh?"
In the crowd, when a man saw Huang Shang, his face was surprised.
"Xianggong, what's wrong?" A very beautiful and handsome girl beside him asked.
Li Xiaoyao said: "Madam, look at that person." ”
Li Yueru looked in the direction that Li Xiaoyao was pointing, and then the whole person was stunned for a moment.
"Humph!" Li Xiaoyao said sourly: "Isn't it very good-looking!" Snatch your soul away! ”
Li Yueru's face turned red and said, "Don't wronged people, I just suddenly saw a person who was out of place with those around me, and I was stunned." I am already married to Xianggong, and I will never change my mind, so please believe in Xianggong. ”
"Okay, I know you won't change your mind." Li Xiaoyao said: "And even if you change your mind, that immortal will definitely not take a fancy to you, a mortal woman." ”
"Immortals?" Lin Yueru was stunned.
"Yes, he is the immortal I met on Xianling Island before I married you......" Li Xiaoyao recounted what happened to him on Xianling Island.
After hearing this, Lin Yueru said in surprise: "So, that young man is really an immortal?" ”
The heart said: No wonder it is so good-looking.
