Chapter 171: The Boss Who Sells Knives
Today is the most comfortable afternoon after Jiangcheng bids farewell to the continuous rain.
Although the sun is high in the sky, the sun after winter is mostly paper tigers, which are not hot except for a little dazzling. At a glance, the marshmallow-like clouds slowly stretch out in the blue sky, which is pleasing to the eye.
There is no doubt that this is a good day when the wind and the sun are shining and the flowers are blooming, and the old king next door is not undressing.
However, no one knew that it was on this afternoon that a great crisis quietly enveloped the thousand-year-old city of Jiangcheng.
At this moment, the position of several kilometers above Jiangcheng City. Two young men stood in the air, facing each other from a distance.
If anyone sees this scene, I'm afraid they will be scared to death, because they don't have a hanging on them!
No one can see it, though.
These two people, one dressed in white, the other dressed in very casual casual clothes, are not outstanding.
Each of them has a faint light curtain floating on them, compared to the special effects in the movie that often flash blind dog eyes, the luster on their bodies is like tin foil refracting candlelight, which is not conspicuous.
In fact, this light curtain not only has the effect of blocking the line of sight, but even the clouds are silently removed.
"Actually, I'm here to send you a pennant......"
The young man in white wiped the back of his head while turning around with a dry smile, and after speaking, he reached into his arms again, took out two small pennants, and gestured twice in his hand, and then doubled, a little bit of asking someone to come and get it.
And it seems to say: Look, I didn't lie to you.
It's quite a bit of a sense of déjà vu when the teacher was caught cheating and was quite embarrassing.
It's just that there is always a strange light curtain swirling around his face, so that people can't see his true face, and he can only judge his emotions at the moment by his tone.
Hearing this, the man in casual clothes frowned slightly, and he didn't mean to come over to get the small pennant.
Compared with the man in white, this person's appearance is much more eye-catching, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, heroic and compelling, I don't know how many grades I can see than the popular little fresh meat.
It's just that for some reason, his body seems to be trembling slightly, a little uncontrollable.
The person who came was naturally Xu Le.
Since the last "photo" incident, he has become more attentive to his surroundings, and the slightest fluctuation can arouse his vigilance.
Today, there is finally a harvest.
It's just that the strength of his body is still a few hundred lines weaker after all, and this level of power release has already made him feel overloaded. Fortunately, after returning from the underworld last time, he worked hard to brush up his experience, and he didn't sweat like last time, and at this time, he was trying to heal the wounds in his body.
"If you don't have merit, you can keep the flag yourself. Xu Le said lightly, with a posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
The young man in white didn't care at all, and said with a big grin: "Ah, it's just a small pennant for two yuan, you're welcome! Come and take it!"
It's like a teenager who is ready to share toys with his friends, very polite.
But Xu Le was not interested in talking to him about any pennants or anything like that, and asked directly: "You took a selfie at my door last time, right?" A strange photo made him entangled for a long time.
"Uh...... Have you still been discovered?" the young man was slightly stunned, and his voice was a little annoyed: "Sure enough, you can't just take photos on the side of the road!"
"......" is not here, the soul is light!
Xu Le took a breath and continued to ask, "The female water ghost and Nan Zhenguo are also your ghosts?" The voice was cold, a bit like a prisoner being interrogated.
No, these two things have a profound impact on him, and one of them even affects his life, so it can't be investigated if you don't pursue it.
The common denominator in both things is that there has been a person with long braids behind both of them, and the one in front of them is completely consistent.
Seeing that the young man was a little dazed, Xu Le quickly said the two things from beginning to end.
After listening to this, the young man nodded: "Yes." "It's not ambiguous at all.
Xu Le's face sank instantly: "Why do you want to interfere in their lives?"
He is used to going with the flow, but that doesn't mean he can't accept that other people make different choices from him.
Xu Le just can't tolerate foreign interference in human affairs, this is a matter of principle.
This young man is weird, not to mention anything else, the halo on his face can't even be seen through by him, maybe it's the old devil of the evil way, and he can't let it go easily!
"I didn't intervene. ”
After being slightly stunned, the young man laughed: "This is a misunderstanding, I didn't intervene, I just made a deal with them." ”
"Trading?" Xu Le frowned.
"Well, it's just a small deal for each to take what he needs, I provide what they need, and they will be the object of my observation. The young man in white said with a smile.
"What can they give you?" With the realm of a young man in white, I am afraid that he has already become an immortal, and he is shoulder to shoulder with Dao Ancestor, and he actually has to make a deal with a ghost and ordinary people, Xu Le didn't believe it.
"I don't want to tell the second person about this until I come to a conclusion. The young man in white gestured a finger, shook it, and smiled mischievously: "You can understand that I am a nosy guy who likes to help some desperate people within the scope of my ability, and some small favors."
Your cultivation is too high, I'm afraid you won't understand how desperate ordinary people and little ghosts and little monsters sometimes face, just do it, why not?"
"What a good one, why not!"
Xu Le didn't laugh angrily: "Do you know how many people died in vain because of your petty help?"
"You can't blame me. When I first traded with them, I made it clear. The young man in white spread his hands, looking like he didn't care about himself: "Take that water ghost as an example, I have obviously told her that cultivation needs to be gradual and gradual, and you must not kill for the sake of cultivation, you will suffer karmic retribution, but she has turned a deaf ear and caused countless killings in order to improve her cultivation, do you blame me?"
Xu Le frowned and was silent.
The man in white said again: "Besides, Nan Zhenguo, before giving him the method of changing his life, I gave him a five-year lifespan, so that he can enjoy his family." But for the sake of longevity, he begged to exchange five years of life for the 'art of life extension'. I told him that the art of prolonging life can be exchanged for flowers, birds, fish and insects, but it is slower, and if it is used on people, it can only be used on people who are related by blood. ”
Seeing that Xu Le was silent, the young man in white pointed to a knife shop below and said: "I'm like the owner of the knife shop, how can there be any reason for customers to refuse to buy it? But after the customer buys it, he kills someone, and this crime must be blamed on me, the boss who sells knives?"
"Knives, whether they are used to chop vegetables and potatoes, or to kill innocent people, is up to the person who uses the knife, not me, the boss who sells knives, to decide. The young man in white slowly stuffed the little pennant into his arms and asked with a smile, "Do you make sense?"
Xu Le looked at him with a complicated expression and did not speak.
After a long time, he took a breath: "What do you call Your Excellency?"
This question has been bothering him for a long time.
For this reason, he even asked Yan Jun to help intervene, but so far to no avail.
The other party's origin surprised him very much.
There are only a handful of people who can evade the investigation of the underworld forces, but there doesn't seem to be such a number one person in the list.
The young man in white straightened his clothes and said with a smile: "No, Gu Zhou." ”
