05. Underground trading market
After the banquet, Wang Bo ordered someone to take 1,000 taels of gold and handed it to the old Taoist.
However, this thousand taels is not really a thousand taels, after all, the ancient counting unit is different from the modern counting unit, but Rao is so, the gold thousand taels is still a huge amount of money for ordinary people.
The old Taoist seemed to be unfazed, but when he got the money, his hands couldn't help shaking.
Wang Bo looked at it in his eyes and didn't say anything.
After the old Taoist got the silver taels, he asked Wang Bo to resign, saying that he still had important things to do and could not delay.
Wang Bo pretended to keep it a few times, but when he saw that the other party insisted on leaving, he didn't stay anymore and sent the old Taoist and his two apprentices away.
After the three of them left, Wang Bo returned to his room, took out the books handed over to him by the old Taoist, and flipped through them.
Although the old Taoist is not a good thing, he really didn't use fakes to fool Wang Bo, what he gave Wang Bo was really a Taoist method of cultivation.
It's just that this Dao method is a little incomplete, only the upper part, not the lower half.
Wang Bo flipped through this Dao method, which is called the Xuanbing Method, and the mana he cultivated is like Xuanbing, which is cold and can freeze people's minds.
It sounds very mysterious, but in Wang Bo's opinion, it is really average.
Like this Dao method, can neither strengthen the body, nor can it prolong life, and there are many difficulties when cultivating, more importantly, after the cultivation of this Dao method, it will break the balance of yin and yang in the human body, so that the yin qi in the human body is prosperous, and the cold qi is entangled, if there is no corresponding method to resolve it, it will inevitably be miserable.
Old man, I don't have a good heart.
When Wang Bo saw this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, originally he still wanted to wait for the old Taoist to finish his work and surprise the other party when he came over.
But now Wang Bo has changed his mind, and he has decided to give the surprise to the old Taoist now.
Wang Bo casually put this Dao method on the table, stood up, looked around, his eyes released a leisurely light, and soon found the old Taoist and his two apprentices.
Today's Wang Bo is no longer what it used to be, his farsightedness is beyond imagination, and at a glance, the entire Chang'an can be seen.
In fact, not only Chang'an, but even several cities near Chang'an, Wang Bo can see it clearly.
Under this kind of vision, the old Taoist naturally couldn't escape Wang Bo's tracking.
Not to mention that they had just left the palace, even if they left the palace for three days and three nights, Wang Bo could find these Taoist priests in a short time.
At this time, the old Taoist was carrying a thousand taels of gold, followed by his two apprentices, the spring breeze was proud, and an old face was smiling like a flower.
A group of people walked through the downtown area, getting more and more away, and gradually came to a remote alley with no people.
Wang Bo originally wanted to do it, but when he saw the three of them coming to a remote alley, he couldn't help but stop, he wanted to see what these three people were doing in such a remote place.
After entering this alley, the old Taoist led the two apprentices to walk dozens of steps to the end of the alley.
It's a dead end.
At this time, the old Taoist priest pinched a fingerprint, chanted words in his mouth, and punched out a mana.
The mana swept out and tapped lightly on the ground.
Silently, the ground caved downward, revealing a downward staircase entrance.
The three old Taoist priests were not surprised at all, they seemed to have been accustomed to it for a long time, and they rushed in.
When Wang Bo saw this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, when he entered Chang'an City, he had already swept Chang'an with his eyes and found that there was a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in Chang'an City. There is no shortage of practitioners in all famous temples and temples.
In addition to this, some large families also have cultivators, and some of them are not weak.
It can be seen from this that this world is prosperous in cultivation.
But the masters who can really be put in Wang Bo's eyes are still scarce, and they can be said to be rare.
After all, Wang Bo's current strength is not inferior to that of ordinary immortals and Buddhas, and ordinary heavenly soldiers and gods are not Wang Bo's opponents.
But in Chang'an City, there are really a few true immortal Arhat level masters lurking.
For example, the most famous Da Ci'en Temple in Chang'an City, there is a monk who has proved the position of Arhat.
There is a Taoist temple outside Chang'an City, and there is a true immortal in the world.
Even in the palace, there are many cultivators lurking, but these people are more than a step behind the true immortal arhats, and they are not at the same level at all.
But the palace is a very special place, if there is no order from the emperor, even if it is a true immortal arhat, he will not necessarily trespass into the palace, so far, the palace is still very safe.
After peeking at Chang'an City, Wang Bo originally thought that there should be no secrets in Chang'an City for him.
But today, these three Taoist priests easily uncovered a place that Wang Bo didn't know, and this incident told Wang Bo that Chang'an City didn't seem to be as simple as Wang Bo imagined.
What he saw was only a faΓ§ade.
Wang Bo's heart moved, his body disappeared into his room, and in the remote and narrow alley, before the steps down had not been closed, he followed behind the three Taoist priests and walked in.
He wanted to see what it was.
The old Taoist and his two apprentices didn't know that they had been followed, and the three of them walked down the stairs all the way down, and after walking for a few minutes, their eyes suddenly opened up.
A huge underground Taoist temple appeared in the field of vision of the three of them.
This Taoist temple is simple and solemn, there are many palaces, pavilions and pavilions are readily available, magnolia stone pillars, delicate and moving, the walls are carved with birds and beasts, lifelike, the overall trend of the building presents gossip, implying the two poles of yin and yang, obviously carefully arranged, is an artificial large array.
In the center of the square in the backyard of the Taoist temple, there is an alchemy furnace, which is the eye of this large array.
This alchemy furnace is about three meters high, the purple-gold furnace body is engraved with all kinds of strange beasts, there is a raging fire burning under the Dan furnace, around the alchemy furnace, there is a group of Taoist priests sitting on the plate, fanning the flames from time to time, or sending some precious medicinal materials into the furnace.
Faintly, there is a fragrance coming out of the alchemy furnace, which is refreshing.
If ordinary people smell it, they dare not say that they can prolong their lives, at least they can strengthen their bodies and avoid all diseases.
It can be seen that in this alchemy furnace, a furnace of elixir with good results is being refined.
When the old Taoist entered the Taoist temple, a Taoist wearing a gossip robe greeted him, "This Taoist brother is invited, I don't know why my brother came to my Taoist temple?" β
The old Taoist took out a golden pill from his pocket, handed it over, and said, "This is a fox demon's inner pill, and the old Taoist wants to exchange this inner pill for a bottle of pill to enhance his strength." β
The gossip Taoist took the golden pill, looked at it carefully, and nodded slowly, "Yes." β
The old Taoist suddenly smiled.
The gossip Taoist said, "Brother Dao, please come with me." β
With that, he led the old Taoist into an attic.
Wang Bo didn't follow, and from the conversation between the two people just now, Wang Bo had already guessed that this underground Taoist temple was likely to be a trading market.
