Chapter Seventy-Two: Three Hundred Taels of Silver

"Mr. Peng, I won't beat around the bush with you." Nalan Bowei closed the fan and put it on the table, "My father likes to collect some curiosities and strange toys, and I heard that Mr. Peng captured a shape-shifting turtle essence in this lamb lake yesterday, which is very rare, so he sent me to ask for it." ”

"Oh...... That's right," Mr. Peng glanced at Daoist Fu who was there with the old god, "Lord Dusi doesn't know, although this monster is dead, it can make it violent in life, and it is also very evil after death, we originally planned to find a day of yang energy in two days and incinerate it, so as not to cause further incidents." The prototype of this monster, I'm afraid I won't hand it over to you. ”

"That's a mistake!" Fu Daoren glared at his four white eyes and glanced at Huzi for a moment, and then turned back to Mr. Peng's side, "The day before yesterday, I had a very happy conversation with the old Guogong, and I have promised to do a Dharma meeting for the Guogong's family, you and I are old acquaintances, or can't you trust my methods?" ”

Huzi pouted his teeth on the side, and said in his heart: This old gang is a good method, and he has close contacts with some dignitaries, which can be regarded as a skill.

Hearing Daoist Fu's words, Nalan Bowei was very surprised: "Are Fu Zhenren and Mr. Peng originally old friends?" Why haven't you heard of it? Anyway, this is a good thing, so that Mr. Peng can rest assured that he will hand over this old turtle to us. ”

The second half of Nalan Bowei's sentence was addressed to Mr. Peng, although it was a round of inquiry, but it was not in the tone of the slightest discussion. This is the fault of many people in high positions, who do their homework well and smile kindly and politely with anyone, whether it is a peddler or a dignitary. But more or less rejecting people thousands of miles away, there is something you can't refuse. The children of the family are nothing more than that.

Mr. Peng was still reluctant: "My lord, you listen to the grass people." This old turtle is ......."

"Hey! I know! Nalan Bowei stopped Mr. Peng's words with a smile, "Mr. Peng is not a Taoist monk, and he earns silver to eliminate disasters and drive away disasters. My father also told me, and he didn't mean to take advantage of it. Why don't you take your official to see and understand first, open your eyes first, and then talk about it later. ”

It's all said and done, if you don't want to give, you don't want to give, and you can't help others see it, right? So, Huzi led the way in front, and the group turned into the backyard again. The old Wang Bajing was not small, and it was too difficult to move it into the house, and it was dry every day for the past few days, so he simply dried it in the yard.

The group went into the backyard and saw this thing as soon as they looked into it. Four lines were stretched on the ground with an ink fountain and framed in a square. A nail was nailed into each of the four corners of the square, and the head of the nail was half an inch high above the ground, and two red threads with paper runes and copper coins were circled around the nail several times, and a cross was crossed, and the king was tied very strongly.

Mr. Peng was also uneasy when he brought this thing back. Think about it, the zombies in the eight-sided city of Haijiatun are so abnormal, this old king and eight spirits have also been cursed, if you can't prepare it, it will be difficult to govern it in the place where you live. So Mr. Peng and Huzi did such a set of things to suppress the evil spirit of this turtle spirit, just in case.

This turtle essence was burned to death by Huzi's fire trick, and it dispersed and showed its original form, and it also exposed a charred and tattered head outside, but the back armor was smooth and clean, and it looked very complete.

"Good stuff!" Nalan Bowei first exclaimed, "This official has also been to many places in the army, and he has seen a lot of strange things, but it is true that he has never met such a big turtle." What a rarity! Is it good to use it for soup? When I got married in the coming day, this back armor was just a small bed for my doll. ”

"The head of the sect laughed," Fu Daoren said on the side, "I heard that the more huge things are, the more sour and hard the flesh is, and this old turtle is also not small, presumably the meat should be sour and hard, and it is difficult to swallow." ”

Fu Daoren said, and both of them laughed.

After laughing enough, Nalan Bowei stretched out a finger: "Mr. Peng, I promise you a hundred taels of silver, how about this old turtle returned to me?" ”

Since the foreigners entered the Qing Dynasty, the silver has become more and more woolly, and it is not as valuable as before. But in Changtu Province, five taels of silver can buy a cow! One hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and many poor families will never see so much money in their lives.

But the ghost door is not a portal that is short of money, and Mr. Peng has not studied the changes in this old turtle spirit yet. The stone talisman was like a fish in Mr. Peng's throat, making him uneasy to sit still. The last one could have been used for research, but it was a zombie, just in case it was set on fire. This one was finally killed and pulled back to his own house and bought it casually? What a pity!

So Mr. Peng still admitted to death: "My lord, you forgive you, this is really not a matter of silver." This turtle essence is a turtle ghost, devouring the souls of the living. After he died, he had a lot of evil spirits on his body, and it was better to breed evil spirits or leave it to the grass people to deal with. ”

"Mr. Peng still dislikes the little given by the official......" Nalan Bowei's tone seemed to be a little displeased, "Fu Daoren is a guest in Changtu Mansion, you can go to my mansion at any time, if something really happens, it has nothing to do with you." Three hundred taels. Don't be too greedy! ”

This is the flag man, how dare not bow to the flag man in Kanto. What's more, this is still an official with military power, and he is still the future Feng'en Auxiliary Prince! Moreover, wealth is moving. What is in front of you is a lot of money, and it would be a lie to say that you don't want it.

This time it was Li Lintang who answered: "My lord, although this old Wang Bajing is rare, it is not worth your price." It's not a good thing, or would I be able to tie it up like a pig? You'll look fresh at this time, or you'll get tired of it in a few days. ”

"When I get tired of it, it's my own business." Hearing Li Lintang say this, Nalan Bowei also figured out that the ghost family was not trying to raise the price, but really didn't want to hand over the old turtle, so he changed his words, "You want this old turtle, I don't believe that it will be burned, where are you missing, the official supplies you, let's make friends, it's also a pleasure." ”

"Maybe they're going to use the corpse of this old turtle to perform some kind of evil magic?" Fu Daoren smiled darkly, "My lord, you don't know, this ghost family is notorious outside the gate, in order to escape the pursuit of the world's famous people and the right way to escape to the gate, and lived in peace for a few years, this is about to resurrect and cause trouble again." ”

"You old gangster fart!" Li Lintang scolded back with a word, "Our ghost family is doing a good job, if it weren't for your hard work, why did you end up in today's field?" I'm telling you, it's because of our soft-heartedness that we didn't want your life, otherwise your master's blood debt is counted on your head, and we can have a good fight! ”

Seeing that this Fu Daoren's words caused tension on both sides, Nalan Bowei was stunned on the spot. Just now in the side room of the main hall, I couldn't see a little fireworks, why did I pull out a pair of enemies in two sentences? But he has also been rolling in officialdom in the end, so he naturally knows how to speak: "Fu Zhenren, this master, please dissipate your anger, today I am a guest, Fu Zhenren you are an accompanying guest, both sides are angry, my face is not good-looking." Why don't you give me face, and if you have anything to say when I'm not there, you can say it. And I have also heard of Mr. Peng's name, and I have never seen anyone say anything wrong, I think he is a righteous gentleman. I heard that Mr. Peng often goes to listen to Peking Opera, and the official is also good, why don't you invite him to go with him another day? ”

People who are officials have been given steps, and if they don't step on it again, they really can't say it. Mr. Peng also snorted: "The head of the head of the sect is raised, and the grass people should obey their orders." ”

"That's what you said," Narambovi laughed again, "then I'll order this old turtle to be carried away." ”

Mr. Peng was choked by Nalan Bowei's words, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but he saw Nalan Bowei greet Fu Daoren, who was still staring at Li Lintang: "Fu Zhenren, Mr. Peng has already promised me this old turtle to me, please ask me to come to the service, and carry this old turtle back to the house with me." ”

When Fu Daoren went out for a short time, he brought back four soldiers, all of whom were strong and strong. Nalan Bowei didn't move, just stretched out his hand, and the four soldiers stepped forward to disassemble the magic circle arranged by Mr. Peng. Mr. Peng stretched out his hand and was about to stop him, but Nalan Bowei reached out and grabbed his wrist and slapped three silver tickets in his hand.

Nalan Bowei said: "The three hundred taels of silver tickets are exchanged nationwide, and you have collected them." A manly man, a word is hard to chase, and now the money and goods are clear, you and I make friends. ”

"Boss, something is wrong." A soldier came over and explained to Naranbovi. Seeing that Nalan Bovi leaned over his head, the soldier said, "There is a hole in the belly armor of this old turtle, which is not small. ”

Narambowe was very interested: "Is there such a thing? Turn it over and I'll take a look. ”

These soldiers also have a lot of strength, and they turned this old turtle upside down in three or two strokes. It is said to be a hole, but it is actually a deep depression in the abdominal armor, which is where the stone talisman was originally embedded.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with saying that there was nothing wrong with the stone talisman, but this Taoist priest was still watching from here. If this Fu Daoist sees it, it will become evidence that the ghost family is killing people. That's really yellow mud thrown into the crotch of his pants, it's not but is.

So Mr. Peng fooled Tianhai and Haitian: "This is the fate of this old turtle!" It was because of this fateful way that he was able to easily capture this fang. This place was originally shaped like this, and it was knocked down by my junior brother with a stick, and the whole piece entered the abdomen, and then he died. ”

What Mr. Peng said was that Fu Daoren didn't believe it, but if there was any evidence to refute them, he had to be silent. But Nalan Bowei was very puzzled: "How did this old turtle hit its lower abdomen when it lay on the ground?" ”

Mr. Peng also explained: "The incarnation of the turtle ghost is like heaven and earth, and the width of the shoulders is like a beam, so it can drill under its belly. ”

"I think so." Nalan Bowei nodded thoughtfully, and when he entered the village, he saw a number of deep pits by the lake, people said that they were footprints, I still didn't believe it, I never thought it was true! Fu Daoren, is there really such a monster? ”

"Yes." Fu Daoren nodded.

Nalan Bowei asked Mr. Peng again: "Which is your junior brother, can you see it?" ”

Mr. Peng did not answer, Li Lintang just spoke: "I am Mr. Peng's junior brother." ”

How have Nalan Bowei ever seen a disciple who is a monk? It's also very surprising. He looked Li Lintang up and down, and said with a smile: "Interesting, interesting!" Are you interested in trying to compete with this official? ”
