Chapter 106: A Beautiful Thing
Seeing the old man's strange behavior, Lu Ran also took out an iron flower from his arms, followed the old man's example, squinted one eye, and put it on the other eye to take a closer look.
All I saw was a mass of gray iron, and there was a feeling of a foreign body in the pupil on the right that was uncomfortable.
"I can't see anything!" Lu Ran took down the iron flower, muttered, and then looked at the old man, who was still in such a strange posture, his body trembled slightly, and his face was still indescribably extremely intoxicated.
"Hey, can you give it back to me?" Lu Ran felt that the old man's intoxicated appearance was more or less scary.
When the old man heard the voice, he woke up and came back, reluctantly took the iron flower from in front of him, and returned it to Lu Ran with a very slow movement.
The line of sight in his eyes never left Tiehua, and the intoxication in his eyes became reluctant.
Lu Ran muttered in his heart, do you like it so much? He turned the iron flower over and over again, looked at it, and wiped it on his clothes, ready to stuff it back into his arms.
"How about it, little Daoyou, you have so many coins, how about selling me one? I am willing to use half of my life savings to buy ...... from you" The old man was a little flustered, thought about it and changed his words: "No, I am willing to use my life savings to buy from you." ”
"That's it? Life savings, how much is that? Lu Ran took the iron flower in his hand again and looked at it, as if he had seen some great way to make money, and then immediately began to fantasize about the scene of buying a lot of boats and letting people pull them on the street after becoming the richest man in Jueying City......
"Let the old man think about it, ...... The old man has practiced for half his life, but it is a red immortal realm, so there are not many extraordinary products, but there are always more than forty pieces, but the old man has a family business, there are always 100 boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and there are five real estate in the city, oh yes, there are three beautiful concubines in the family...... "The old man is quite serious and carefully reports his property.
"Is there a house upstairs in Wanhuan?" Lu Ran asked innocently.
"Huh? It's an environmental religion industry, but I have a Red Immortal Certificate, with which I can enter and exit freely below the twentieth floor. The old man took a red-edged iron plaque from somewhere in his arms, engraved with a big "deficit" character, and a few lines of small characters and patterns, "If you don't dislike it, you can also give it together." ”
"Are you serious?" Lu Ran hadn't made such a good deal yet, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, if the little Taoist friend feels that it is not enough, I still have a thousand acres of primeval forest in the Suyu Country, as long as the little Taoist friend does not dislike it......" The old man really wants this iron flower, desperate to want it.
"Su Yuguo......" Lu Ran's heart suddenly felt a little sour, and he actually remembered another old man, Yu Shengshui, who saved his life in the cabin, and then thought of his grandfather, he wanted to take advantage of the boredom to tease the old man, but at this time he also decided to give up, just at this time he saw the boss sitting on the back of a strong man squeezed back from the crowd, and on the other side of the crowd, the "thin paper" in Beiquan, also held another statue that he didn't know where to go, Forced back between two exotic women in cool clothes holding hands.
"Okay, then I'll give you one, remember to keep it safe."
Lu Ran didn't think much about it, and threw the iron flower in his hand in the direction of the old man, and at the same time, the person greeted him and caught the statue held by Beiquan's piece of paper.
"Who is this?" Beiquan's eyes glanced at the old man, because he was still a paper man, his eyes were rolling in his sockets, which looked very funny.
Taking off the talisman, he quickly "rose" back like an inflatable ball, and muttered: "Brother Lu, don't be deceived......"
Lu Ran hugged him and interrupted what he was about to say: "Why have you been there for so long, and how can you squeeze around in that kind of place, where are the people of Sinan?" ”
Then, he waved his hand at the old man, who was almost frozen in place after catching the iron flower, and motioned for him to leave quickly.
The old man stood for a long time before he caught up again, bowed to Lu Ran and Beiquan, and asked: "Old Huaihuang, thank you very much for the gift of the baby, and I haven't asked Daoyou to ask for your surname, where do you live?" The old decay will come to the door to thank you another day! ”
"No, no need, you and I are just fateful, and we will meet again if we have fate." Faced with such a scene, Lu Ran really didn't know how to deal with it.
"Yes. Yes. The little Taoist friend is so generous, and the old man deserves it. The old man bowed, it seemed that Lu Ran didn't report to leave the house, he refused to get up.
Lu Ran had no choice but to touch his head, and said with some shame: "I'm sorry, I didn't tell the truth just now, I ...... I'm actually Char'......"
"Char doesn't matter, the old man will definitely come to thank you!"
"I ...... I don't have a home anymore. Lu Ran finally couldn't resist it, so he had to tell the truth.
The old man naturally understood immediately, and no longer struggled, but just took out a pill-shaped thing from his sleeve, offered it with both hands, and said: "In this case, then take this thing as a return gift and give it to Taoist friends." ”
"No, no." Lu Ran waved his hand, or Beiquan next to him said, it was not a valuable thing, and he reluctantly accepted it with a fire bead.
The old man named Huai Huang accepted Lu Ran's iron flower with peace of mind, and he felt that it was inappropriate to put it left and right, so he actually opened his mouth and swallowed it into his mouth.
Lu Ran was very surprised, and the old man happily thanked him again, turned around and disappeared into the crowd of people in the second-hand market.
Until the group returned to Wanhuan Building, Beiquan was explaining to Lu Ran that he had met a liar, the three kinds of people who are not lacking in the second-hand market, the wronged boss, the profiteer, the liar, and the liar is still the most, and then he said some classic scams in a familiar way, until he returned to the room, and was seen by the insight Tianjun at a glance that the two statues he bought today were imitations of the present world......
Lu Ran felt that it didn't matter, first, that Tiehua was indeed not a treasure, and second, he estimated that he would never come to this Peerless City again in this life, and the liar had no possibility of deceiving in the next step, and besides, what if what the old man said was true? Isn't that the regret that I have helped an old man fulfill for many years?
Isn't that a beautiful thing?
As Beiquan and the other cave spirit caves finished their dinner on the nineteenth floor of the Wanhuan Building, Lu Ran silently returned to the lower fifth floor of the special reception for ordinary people outside the church, and slept in the guest room bored, Lu Ran remembered the old man he met today.
He took out the bead from his bosom that the old man had given him the last time.
Beiquan said that this is the fire bead that almost all Taoist priests will refine, and they can avoid fire by holding it in their mouths.
Indeed, a mediocre blue and white bead, whether it is color, brilliance or texture, is far inferior to the magic weapon of the same bead on his body.
Lu Ran looked at it, and suddenly remembered something, so he learned from the old man who looked at the iron flower during the day, squinted one eye, and put the bead on the pupil of the other eye.
This time, Lu Ran seemed to see something different, it seemed to be a blue sky and white clouds, it didn't seem to be, the blue and white colors were changing, and soon they were completely dispersed, and then, Lu Ran saw a very familiar pattern but couldn't tell where he had seen it.
A pattern that is neither nor is it, that I have you, that I have me, that cannot be described, that cannot even be reproduced.
Lu Ran looked at it, and soon became sleepy again, he forgot all about going to participate in the Huantian Jiao Festival tomorrow, and fell asleep deeply.
