Chapter 99: Expensive Dao Talisman

Du Xiao was still skeptical about the words of the golden-armored man, because if such a guy who kills people without blinking is really a person from the court, if he is a tyrant, then Du Xiao will suffer, and such things as killing people and robbing money often happen in the rivers and lakes.

"This is the token of the imperial court, you can always rest assured now." The gold-armored man took out a golden token from his waist, on which was engraved a Xing, which was the symbol of the imperial court's criminal department. The minister of the criminal department, and the several long knives behind his back, are like a killing god.

"I believe you." After Du Xiao saw the other party's court token, he was not so vigilant, but he still had to have a certain sense of precaution, otherwise he would be depressed if he was persecuted by those conspiracy villains.

Du Xiao took a hitchhiker like this, no, it was a hitchhiker to the direction of Lanruo Temple, feeling the great rivers and mountains of the imperial court along the way, the majestic mountains stretched, connecting into a natural screen, isolating the invasion of the Huns and Tatars.

"By the way, what are you doing when you go to Lanruo Temple, I heard that there are already demons and forests there, and evil wolves are everywhere. You are a weak scholar, you should not be sent to death. The man in the golden armor asked curiously, he had already heard some rumors about Lanruo Temple, and the destination of his trip was not Lanruo Temple, but just happened to pass by.

"I'm just going to go to the town near Lanruo Temple to collect the bills, I'm a scholar, how can I have the courage to go to Lanruo Temple." Du Xiao didn't intend to tell him his intentions, and he wasn't lying, he did want to collect the debt.

"You're talking about Anning Town, right? In that case, then I'll be a good person to the end, and I'll send you there. ”

"Thank you for your help." Du Xiao thanked him, without his help, Du Xiao might have a long time to know where Lanruo Temple was.

"It's just a long detour, and I'm not a chivalrous man, my name is Zuo Qianhu. If you encounter people in the court who make things difficult for you in the future, you can tell them that you are my friend. Zuo Qianhu felt that he was quite destined for Du Xiao, so he wanted to make a friend. A weak scholar dares to go into the rivers and lakes alone, this kind of arrogance is not something that everyone can have.

Left 1000 households? Du Xiao felt that this name was a little familiar, but he forgot who he was. Forget it, it doesn't matter who he is, listening to his tone, it can be deduced that his status in the court is not low. With such a minister of the court to support himself, even if he meets someone from the yamen, he can walk sideways.

"Then I'll thank Brother Zuo." Du Xiao thanked with both hands, although Zuo Qianhu was angry, but he was upright, he was very stubborn about the concept of right and wrong, only black and white, and there was no so-called gray area.

"It's fate that you and I met, but I still have important things to do, otherwise I really want to sit down with you and talk about the wine in detail." Zuo Qianhu said regretfully, he was still carrying out the task given to him by the imperial court, and he couldn't delay too long on the road.

"The man is ambitious, why should he care for a while, if we have fate, we will definitely be able to meet at that time, and I will invite Brother Zuo to have a few drinks at that time." Du Xiao didn't mean to force Zuo Qianhu to stay, after all, he still had unknown things to do in Lanruo Temple.

"It's a good sentence that the man has ambitions for thousands of miles, and when he returns to the court in the future, he can bring you to the court." Zuo Qianhu was quite appreciative of Du Xiao's answer, the man should have walked the rivers and lakes, like a bird, with a thousand miles of ambition and flying over thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

Passing through several post stations, Zuo Qianhu sent Du Xiao to the edge of Anning Town. "Ah Xiao, I can only send you here, you act carefully, don't go to the gloomy place of Lanruo Temple." Zuo Qianhu said kindly.

"Okay, Brother Zuo, you have a good trip." Du Xiao waved goodbye, along the way he received a lot of kindness from Zuo Qianhu, and the two of them even burned yellow paper, worshipping heaven and earth and becoming brothers.

"Okay, goodbye." Then he spurred the horse, leaving a figure that was drifting away.

Du Xiao didn't plan to rush to Lanruo Temple, this was undoubtedly an act of looking for death, anyway, when he came to Anning Town, he had to prepare properly before leaving.

This is an era when traitors are in power, the situation on the whole continent is turbulent, theft and looting are already everywhere, and the public notice of the yamen is posted with a reward one after another, and those heinous ways are wanted.

Even a group of people used the arrest of wanted criminals to collect money, constantly intercepting passers-by without permission and forcibly checking their identities. Du Xiao also unfortunately became one of the victims of them, originally he was still thinking about whether to resist, but after thinking about it, he didn't want to cause any turmoil for the time being.

The market is quite lively, and all kinds of stalls are selling their own gadgets. Du Xiaoman was interested, but his trip was still task-oriented, and he had to go to Lanruo Temple alone, of course, he had to buy some talismans.

"Hello, how do you sell these talismans?" Du Xiao found a stall specializing in Taoist talismans, and dozens of talismans drawn from cinnabar yellow paper were pasted on wooden boards and peddled.

"This guest officer, at first glance you are not a local. Although my Li Laosan's reputation is not resounding in the rivers and lakes, in Anning Town, it can definitely be said that Tong Su is not bullied. These talismans of mine are all written by real people in the Taoist temple, and they are enlightened. "Li Laosan introduced the origin of his Dao talisman." Each sheet costs only five taels of silver, which is a fair price. ”

"Damn, five taels of silver, are you just a black shop?" Du Xiao couldn't help but scold, the coils he asked the old lady before were only thirty taels, but this broken talisman cost five taels of silver, which is really distressing.

"Guest officer, what you said is a bit too much, the rune paper here is all refined by the real people of the Taoist Temple, and the power is by no means comparable to those imitations." The boss of Dao Fu slowly explained to Du Xiao.

Before Du Xiao came to this store, he also roughly inquired, this store is the best Taoist shop in the entire Anning Town, although the price is high, but there is no precedent for pitting people.

"Can't it be cheaper?" Du Xiao asked.

"If you need a large amount, I can give you a cheaper, a Dao talisman, three taels of silver." The boss looked at Du Xiao with a look of demand, so he said softly. To be honest, when he bought these charms back, they were quite expensive.

"Okay." Du Xiao gritted his teeth and replied, sure enough, this society is all about money, for the safety of life, Du Xiao still has to give up this money. And the money in this world, if you don't bring it in life or die, you will have to leave here sooner or later, what is the use of staying.

"How many do you want?" The boss seemed to see the money rolling in, and asked with concern.

"You keep twenty for me, I'll pick it up in two days, it's just a deposit." Du Xiao put ten taels of silver in the hands of the Dao Fu boss and said admonishingly. If it was just a few Dao Talismans, it would be completely insufficient, so Du Xiao still needed to find some more silver to supplement the Dao Talismans.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the guest officer to come to collect it in two days, and you can go slowly." The boss hadn't seen such a bold person for a long time, and he asked for twenty Dao talismans at once, which made him laugh in his dreams tonight.

Du Xiao turned around and left, not continuing to stay in front of the stall that made him sad. Then he dragged a thick ledger in his hand and walked into a Yunlai Inn.
