Chapter 85: Wang Tao's Memories {22}
The old butler first glanced at the old Taoist priest outside the door, and saw that he was standing with his back and had no intention of walking away, so he turned his head and whispered to me: "Master, I think we might as well spend a little more time listening to him explain slowly, and if he is reasonable, then we will believe him."
If he dares to open his mouth, it's not too late for us to let him go, after all, this is also for the safety of the little master! ”
This sentence is right in my arms, now as long as there is a chance to save my son's life, no matter what method I am willing to try, although my first impression of this old Taoist priest is not very good, but at this moment for the sake of my son I have to compromise.
In the end, I thought about it a little, and I had to follow the old housekeeper's wishes, and invited the old Taoist priest outside the door back again.
After the old Taoist priest was invited back again, he seemed to be sulking all the time, and I quickly apologized to him sincerely, and said that as long as he had the real ability to heal my son, I would not treat him badly afterwards, and I would definitely have a heavy courtesy.
I don't know if it was my sincerity that moved him, or the temptation of the phrase 'thank you for the heavy salute', but his face softened a little after I said these words.
I saw the old Taoist priest walk to my son's bedside by himself, and said with a solemn face: "The reason why your son is still unconscious is not caused by external injuries, but actually provoked unclean things on his body." ”
"Huh?"
I was stunned, I never dreamed that my son had provoked the evil spirit, but after thinking about it, I seemed to feel a little reasonable, because all the Lang Zhong could not see what kind of disease my son was suffering from, and the quack doctors only said that he had a strange disease, but he was not saved.
Such an ambiguous remark is both infuriating and infuriating.
According to common sense, my son is in his youth, and even if he is not in good health, he will not suddenly become terminally ill.
When you think about it, there is something strange and suspicious about this sudden disaster.
Thinking about what the Taoist priest said, I couldn't help but believe it a little, so I panicked and asked him if he had any good ways to exorcise evil spirits.
The old Taoist priest twisted his beard lightly, squinted his eyes and stared at me with a suspicious look, and asked lightly: "If I tell me on the spot how to save your son, will you trust me?" ”
Hearing this, my heart 'pounced', feeling that this old Taoist priest still complained about me for the previous incident?
In order not to make him suspicious, I quickly stated that it was up to him to do the matter.
The old Taoist priest smiled with satisfaction, and suddenly said: "The evil that your son has provoked is extremely powerful, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be suppressed just by relying on the poor Dao's current and mere Taoism." ”
What the! Even this old Taoist priest is already helpless?
I didn't dare to gasp, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, "Then didn't you just say..."
"Yes, I said there was a way to save your son."
As if he had seen through my thoughts, before I could finish speaking, the old Taoist priest interrupted: "It's just that this method will make you ruined, and it's not a small amount!" ”
At this point, he smacked his lips and suddenly fell silent, just staring at me with a serious face.
I'm not a fool, I understand that he was afraid that I would feel sorry for the money, so he suddenly stopped talking, but at this moment, in order to save my son, what money is not money, so I said on the spot, I can ask for as much as I want, as long as I can save my son's life, what is there to be reluctant to.
Seeing that I expressed my attitude on the spot, the old Taoist priest laughed: "Since you are so bold outside the king, then this matter will be wrapped up on my old Taoist."
To tell you the truth, when I was traveling all over the world, I happened to pass by a county seat, and I happened to see a very rare Tianshan Snow Lotus in a wealthy family in that county.
Tianshan Snow Lotus! It is already rare, and it is even rarer if it is a high-quality Tianshan snow lotus.
The family I am talking about was also met by chance when someone sold such a precious and high-quality Tianshan snow lotus.
If you want to talk about this Tianshan Snow Lotus! Not only is it priceless, but it is also the best elixir to restrain evil spirits.
If you can buy it from the rich man at great expense, and bring it back to your dying son, you will save his life. ”
After listening to him, my eyes lit up: "It would be great if this was the case, but I don't know where the family that the Taoist chief said lived?" Where can I go to find him to negotiate the purchase of the Tianshan Snow Lotus? ”
The old Taoist priest waved his hand at me, revealing a worldly master's posture, and said impassionedly: "Hey! What are you talking about, since you and I met, it was fate, how could you let you go to the door to find that family in person? Besides, how can you, an ordinary person, be compared to me, a Taoist who has cultivated the secret method, not to mention anything else, just saying that the footsteps of the poor Dao are beyond the reach of horses, and it is thousands of miles away to walk casually.
If Poor Dao wanted to find the family that he just said that owned the Tianshan Snow Lotus, it would only take half a day.
And if you are an ordinary person like you, even if you run day and night in a carriage, you may not be able to reach your destination for half a month.
In this way, it would be a complete waste of time for you to go looking for that house!
Therefore, it is better to go out in person, after all, it saves time and effort. ”
Speaking of this, the conversation suddenly changed: "Besides, your son's current situation is extremely critical, and it is absolutely impossible for you, as the main person of the family, not to stay at home, because Poor Dao still has some tasks to be assigned to you, and you also have to arrange a set of formations in your courtyard. ”
Hearing him say so mysterious, I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat, and I hurriedly asked him what kind of stitches he wanted to arrange in my yard, and asked me if there was anything I needed to do.
The old Taoist priest blinked, "Your task is relatively simple, just send people to stand in various positions according to the direction I said, then arrange a room without windows, and then go buy a coffin, paint it red, put it in the house, and put your son in the coffin." ”
"What? Put my son in a coffin? What a bad luck this is! ”
I was shocked when I heard this, and I said to myself, "This man is not dead, why is he put in a coffin?" It's not just a bad thing, it's not good to hear if it gets out, is it?
"Hey! You don't know this, this is my Taoist secret method, you don't care if you are unlucky, as long as you can save your son's life. ”
The old Taoist priest scratched his nose indifferently, and looked light: "Also, don't forget to prepare two thousand oceans, even if it is used as a bargaining chip to buy Tianshan Snow Lotus." ”
"Ahh Two thousand oceans? ”
I froze in place, only feeling dizzy and stuffy in my chest, if it weren't for the quick support of the old butler's hand, I would have fallen directly to the ground without a heel.
"What's the matter? Too expensive? ”
The old Taoist priest raised his eyebrows playfully: "It doesn't matter how much you want, according to the value of that Tianshan Snow Lotus, this is already a friendly price." ”
The price of friendship is still 2,000 yuan?
Oh my god! Wouldn't this be an astronomical amount if it were to be purchased at the original price?
I held my forehead with one hand, slowed down for a while, and finally pondered for a long time, and then agreed with a ruthless stamping of my foot.
Speaking of which, Wang Yuanwai still covered his chest with some pain, and it seemed that a series of blows were still a little depressed for him.
Hearing Wang Yuanwai tell such an inconspicuous story, Su Jiping never expected that he would lose 4,000 oceans in vain all of a sudden, and he was stunned at the moment, and couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy for Wang Yuanwai.
Hey, what a poor man, why did all the bad luck happen to him?
You must know that 4,000 oceans is not a small number! If I had this money, I guess I wouldn't have to worry about running out of food for the rest of my life.
After thinking about it, Su Jiping still couldn't calmly 'plop and plop' in his heart, and his face inadvertently hung deep worry, but he asked weakly: "Then later, your son's life was saved or not?" And what Tianshan Snow Lotus is really so magical? ”
Wang Yuanwai looked down at the ground in a daze, and muttered weakly: "Tianshan Snow Lotus has some miraculous effects, my son's life, saved it, it's just..."
Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Su Jiping couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Just what?" Could it be that your son's illness is not completely cured, or is there any after-effect that he has left? ”
"Sequelae?"
As if the secret in his heart was inadvertently exposed by Su Jiping, Wang Yuanwai raised his head suddenly and looked at him in a little surprise, and in the next few seconds, Wang Yuanwai looked at him blankly, but did not say anything.
Su Jiping was a little hairy when he was looked at by Wang Yuanwai, so he could only pretend to have nothing to do and cough twice, which made Wang Yuanwai gradually ease up.
After a short period of stunnedness, Wang Yuanwai hurriedly changed the topic and said, "It's the Taoist friend you came to look for, how is his Taoist cultivation?" ”
Su Jiping didn't expect Wang Yuanwai to suddenly mention that crazy old Taoist priest, and he couldn't help but be stunned, "My Taoist friend, he..."
Halfway through his words, Su Jiping suddenly realized that he didn't know much about that old Taoist priest at all, not to mention his Taoist cultivation, and even his Taoist name and name.
Now that Wang Yuanwai suddenly mentioned this guy, how should I describe that unreliable stinky Taoist priest?
He grinned and thought about it for a long time, and finally Su Jiping said angrily: "Ouch, that old Taoist priest, I don't know much about his Taoist cultivation, anyway, I only know that the old guy's temper is very hot." ”
Scratching his head, he thought about it again, "I guess he may have had some stimulation in his brain before, because sometimes he beats people for no reason!" That guy is ruthless! If I don't beat you to your knees and beg for mercy, you won't stop anything. ”
"Uh... This..."
Wang Yuanwai stared at a pair of small eyes, and when he heard Su Jiping comment on the old Taoist priest like this, he felt a little surprised in his heart: "You, are you really friends?" How could I hear a faint hint of hatred and anger in your tone? ”
