Chapter 338: Gold Swallowing Beast

Bai Shan was indifferent: "I really can't help either, you can take this thing back." ”

He didn't say, "You go to another house to ask", He Lingchuan knew his attitude.

"What disease?"

Wang Laohan turned his head to look at He Lingchuan: "The high fever does not go away, and it is useless to ask for two pairs of medicines in the medical hall!" ”

His eyes were full of hope: "I have this real work, please buy it!" ”

He Lingchuan asked him, "What is written in this volume?" ”

"My ancestor said that this is a profound supernatural power!" Wang Laohan smiled bitterly, "But I can't understand it either, and no one in my family cultivates, so I can only sell it." ”

"Can I take a look?"

"You understand?" Wang Laohan uncovered the animal skin paper a little back, just a little, "Then you see." ”

"Bring the child here, and I'll find someone to treat you." He Lingchuan glanced at it a few times and said, "If it's cured, I'll give me this roll of leather paper." ”

"Huh?" Wang Laohan was stunned, "Sent here?" ”

"Yes, I made an appointment with a friend to meet here, he is very good at medicine, and treating children's high fever is just a gesture."

"Oh-" Wang Laohan nodded again and again, and smiled, "Okay, I'll go and bring my grandson over!" Then he rolled up the vellum paper and walked out.

The two people behind didn't stop him.

After Wang Laohan walked out of Yunling Island, the sadness on his face disappeared, and he turned his head after more than ten zhang to see if anyone followed behind.

No.

He snorted at Yunling Island.

Then he walked down the street to the end, looking leisurely, not like there were still patients at home.

He even bought two steamed buns and ate them while shopping, and soon he left Wanglin Street and turned into another street.

The traffic here is far less than that of Wanglin Street, and the shop signs are not so bright, but the streets are long and extend in all directions. Wang Laohan threw away the oil paper, wiped the corners of his mouth and hands, patted his face and put on an expression, and entered several stores one after another.

When he came out again, his expression had already turned to smugness.

At this time, he went straight to the city gate, and he was very fast.

It's safe to get out.

But just after passing a shallow alley, a hand stretched out in the alley, grabbed him into it, and pressed him into the shadows.

Wang Laohan was startled, and when he turned his head, he saw the young man in Yunling Island, smiling at himself very brightly.

"You?" Without thinking, he shouted, "Grab the moneyβ€”β€”! ”

Only before he opened his mouth, He Lingchuan poked him lightly in the throat.

Wang Laohan's remaining words were immediately poked back, and he pressed his neck "ah" for a long time, and his cry was no louder than that of a mouse.

He Lingchuan took out five or six pieces of animal skin paper from his arms and unfolded them, each volume with the same content:

Faded handwriting, ancient immortal font, a thin piece of paper has not yet been written.

"What is this?"

Wang Laohan's face is like earth.

Only then did He Lingchuan take out the gale military order and shook it in front of him: "The bitter lord has reported to the official." There are prisons in the west and south of the city, which one do you choose? ”

The token of the Gale Army was very eye-catching, and He Lingchuan was not afraid of him taking a closer look. Wang Laohan's eyes were straight, and he secretly said that it was over.

Why did you reveal your stuffing so quickly this time, Panlong City really couldn't come.

The pain in his neck had eased, and he threw himself to his knees:

"My lord, let me go, I'll give you the real thing!"

"Can you have the real thing?" He Lingchuan was disdainful, "Forget it, let's go west of the city, just make an official nearby." ”

"If you let me go, I will give it!" Wang Laohan was anxious, "I really have it!" ”

"Okay, I won't arrest you." He Lingchuan stretched out his hand, "Take it and let me see." ”

Wang Laohan took out a scroll from his boots.

This smell is not very good, He Lingchuan pinched his nose and unfolded it to take a look, then threw the scroll back on him, and said angrily: "What's the difference with a fake!" Do you amuse me? ”

"Don't dare, it's true!" Wang Laohan picked up the scroll and unfolded it. In fact, the old vellum paper was already in tatters, and it was in a scroll.

He took out a copper plate and pointed to a picture of a beast's head drawn in the upper left corner of the paper: "You have a good look." ”

The painting style of this beast's head is very sketchy, a bit like a big toad, with convex eyes and a huge mouth, but with fine sharp teeth, and the spots on the head are like plum blossoms. It had a wide open mouth, and it was pitch black.

Wang Laohan pressed the copper plate into the mouth of the beast's head.

A magical scene occurred:

The copper plate suddenly disappeared.

He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows, and waited a few more breaths before saying, "And then?" What's changed? ”

"The paper has gotten bigger, haven't you noticed?"

After being reminded by him, He Lingchuan found that the edge of the paper skin had really expanded outward a little, but it was only a little bit, and he couldn't find it at all if he didn't stare at it.

"What are you trying to illustrate?"

"This paper is alive, my lord!" Wang Laohan was eager to prove, "But only when it eats money or valuable things will it become its original size, and the words on it will be revealed." ”

"Really?" He Lingchuan took out a few ingots of silver on him, each of which was about twenty or thirty taels.

I can't see that this old man in rags is richer than him!

"You just got this trick?"

Wang Laohan didn't know how to answer, and the next second he saw He Lingchuan put two ingots of silver into the beast's head.

"Oh, don't!"

It was too late, and the silver sank into the beast's mouth, and it was gone.

Wang Laohan's eyes were dark, and his heart was like a knife.

Then He Lingchuan really saw that the animal skin paper had expanded a little more, and he ...... About half an inch?

The words on the paper have indeed increased a few times because of this.

"Besides, come again."

Wang Laohan said with a bitter face: "My lord, don't lose it again, no matter how much you throw it, you can't feed it!" ”

"Have you tried? How much silver can you throw in? ”

"I threw in two thousand taels of silver before and after, and at most I directly threw seven hundred taels at a time, plus two Dadong Pearls!" Wang Laohan was full of sadness when he said it, "I still have some family background, if it weren't for this bottomless pit, I wouldn't have fallen into what I am now!" ”

He Lingchuan asked the reason.

It turned out that Wang Laohan was a foreigner, and he had been a private school teacher for many years, and he had a slight surplus on hand. One day, after a heavy rain, he went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, but before he could dig half of it, he came across a dead body.

The deceased didn't know why he died violently in the wilderness, and Wang Laohan searched all over his body, only finding a few ingots of broken silver and a piece of animal skin paper.

And he put the man in the ground, and went down the mountain with the vellum.

Wang Laohan is literate and can recognize the ancient immortal language written on the paper, but unfortunately it is dilapidated and missing, and he can't see the whole picture. He took it to the city and sold it, but no one wanted it.

Later, he found a capable person to identify it, and he was told that it was the skin of the Gold Swallower.

The Gold Swallowing Beast was an extremely rare beast even in ancient times, and the supernatural power written with its leather is self-evident.

This kind of skin can penetrate the test of time, and there is still a chance to regain it after two or three thousand years.

However, the gold-swallowing beast was greedy for all valuable things during its lifetime, and its soul was parasitic to its skin after death, and it still retained its greedy nature. Wang Laohan wanted to see everything on the whole paper, so he had to satisfy his appetite.

Since then, Wang Laohan has embarked on the road of no return to feed the gold-swallowing beast......

He couldn't explain why he lost his mind, but feeding this thing was really addictive, and he was full of longing for the future of the gold-devouring beast, thinking that he had a chance to get rare powers.

At that time, the whole article of the supernatural power will definitely live up to his expectations and sell at a sky-high price, so that he will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Of course, the reality is very skinny, because this thing does not remain unchanged after eating gold and silver, but expands for a quarter of an hour or two and then retracts until it returns to its tattered original state!

In other words, if you don't fill it all at once, it won't show you the whole thing.

"Pit." He Lingchuan couldn't help but ask him, "I know it's a bottomless pit, so why are you still filling it in?" ”

"If I don't fill it up, won't all the gold and silver that I threw in before me be wasted?" Wang Laohan squeezed out two bitter tears, "Later, I found a legend that the treasures in the world can't fill it at all!" ”

"It's a pity that I knew it too late, and by then all the family was already bankrupt!"

In order to survive in Hukou, Wang Laohan simply copied the contents of the animal skin paper, disguised as a complete magical power to sell for money, and used the previous rhetoric on Yunling Island.

There are quite a lot of customers who eat this set.

It's just that after he cheated two or three times, he had to quickly change places to avoid prison.

After hearing this, He Lingchuan said: "You really deserve it." ”

Wang Laohan is also a kind of gambling desire, if people blindly indulge and don't know how to restrain their desires, most of them will not end well.

He looked at He Lingchuan again and again: "Please let me go!" ”

"Don't worry, I won't arrest you." He Lingchuan grinned at him, stuffed several fake animal skin papers into his arms, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed him back into the middle of the street.

Did you really let him go? Wang Laohan was overjoyed.

At this moment, two shouts came from not far away:

"Hey, it looks like it's him!"

Wang Laohan turned his head in surprise and saw two patrolmen rushing towards him. He has a ghost in his heart, so he runs away.

"Don't run!"

Wang Laohan ran faster.

He was small, but fast, and he was so fast that it took him half an hour for the two guards to catch him:

"Someone reported to the official and accused you of forgery!"

They also picked up several fake animal skin papers along the way, all of which had fallen from the old man's body.

The old man was at a loss for words.

The real thing is gone, and no one believes what he says.

……

Seeing Wang Laohan being detained, He Lingchuan walked back to Yunling Island.

The fat shopkeeper smiled and asked him, "That old man is a liar, isn't he?" ”

He Lingchuan snorted and asked him if he wanted to stay in the quiet room for a while.

This little request of the landlord is naturally met by the fat shopkeeper. So after more than ten breaths, He Lingchuan entered an appraisal hut with tables and chairs, and there were some sundries piled up in the corner.

He sat down and took out the original vellum paper, spread it out on the table, and lit the lamp to look at it.

Why spend all your time for an old liar and a piece of gold-swallowing beast's skin?

Because there is indeed a supernatural power recorded on this paper:

Doppelganger Shadow Technique, referred to as Doppelganger Technique.

The outline of the supernatural powers in the visible part of the vellum paper states that if you learn this spell, you can briefly summon a clone that obeys your orders.

From a rough point of view, this is very similar to the mirror technique that He Lingchuan originally wanted to exchange at the Pengcheng Bureau, and even General Hong recommended him to change it like this.
