Chapter 44: Tempting Opportunities
After Yu Lie took his IOU, he walked straight outside the Qianzhuang gambling house.
On the way, he carefully examined the IOU to confirm that it was the original of the pledge he had drawn, and then immediately tore it up and put it in his sleeve pocket, intending to take it back and burn it again.
But when he was about to step out of the gate of the bank, the man from the bank suddenly flashed to Yu Lie.
"Guests, please stay!"
The guy bowed his hand, smiled and invited Yu Lie to go to a side room.
Yu Lie paused, his eyes were slightly cold, and he smiled and said, "What's the matter?" Your master is looking for me? ”
The guy shook his head and replied, "No, no, there is a distinguished guest in the workshop who wants to be introduced to the workshop and wants to meet the guests." ”
Yu Lie was slightly stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly. He also thought that after he played to the death of Gao Li, he provoked the gambling house, or something else, but it turned out that it was not the gambling house looking for him at all, but someone else.
"Guest?"
After thinking for a while, Yu Lie still spoke: "Lead the way." ”
Anyway, whether it is the owner of the gambling house or a distinguished guest, Yu Lie can't afford to provoke it for the time being, rather than avoiding it, it is better to meet it in person, whether it is a knife or a gun, and then have a psychological preparation.
And before coming to the money bank to repay the money, Yu Lie had already mentioned it to the radish head and others, but at that time he only said that he wanted to repay the interest.
The guy immediately led the way: "Please! ”
This time I went deep into the store, and the road I walked was different from the road of the single-way children's collar, not only could I not hear the screams, but even the floor of the passage was paved smooth, and the two sides were exquisitely furnished, with porcelain melons and fruits as ornaments, exuding bursts of fragrance.
After a while, in front of a conservatory, Yu Lie had not yet seen the stove, and there was a burst of warmth on his face, which made people comfortable.
The man lifted the red and pink bead curtain and said, "Distinguished guest, shopkeeper, the guest is here." ”
As soon as Yu Lie bowed down and got in, he felt a chill on his body, like ice and fire, but it disappeared quickly, very similar to the feeling he felt when he entered the library pavilion.
Then, Yu Lie clearly felt that a few eyes were looking at him faintly.
Yu Lie steadied himself and looked to the other side.
A diminutive old man resembled a figure, a big-headed doll-like child, and an old man dressed like a servant stood behind the big-headed doll.
The three of them stared at the rest of the column.
Yu Lie made a generous look, and then spoke: "I don't know you, what's the matter?" ”
First of all, the old man-like figure, with a gloomy face, spoke: "Boom! Good boy, you paid it back today, and you directly folded a good guy in the old body, a little bold. ”
Yu Lie looked at the other party, raised his eyebrows slightly, and realized that the other party was likely to be the owner behind the gambling house, even if it wasn't, the other party was at least a figure like Danfang Fang.
Yu Lie did not panic, but smiled and said:
"The shopkeeper's words are not right, the person who came is a guest, and the poor road has made your shop earn thousands of dollars in just a few months, which can be regarded as an old customer. As for the Taoist friends of high interest, you have a keen eye, and you must be accurate at a glance, and you will naturally have judgment. ”
Lao Dan smiled, her face changed sharply, revealing a disgusting appearance of trembling flowers, and grinning:
"Well said! The old man has been running a pawnshop in the town for thirty or fifty years, and the most important thing is the rules. There are no rules. The guest came to our store to repay the money, how could he let the guy be bullied! ”
"The guest has learned a good lesson today! If you hadn't reminded me, the old man wouldn't have known that his subordinates would even dare to control the gambling game. ”
"Humph!" Lao Dan smiled coldly, and said with teeth: "A group of rats! The guys who don't make it look like they're old enough to take care of themselves and clean up their housework. ”
After listening to it, Yu Lie was unimpressed by what Lao Dan said.
He didn't believe that the other party would not know what was going on in the gambling house. Otherwise, where did so many gamblers in the gambling pit come from? At most, this person knew about it but didn't care about it, and then he was exploited by Gao Li Daotong.
However, Yu Lie still flattered Lao Dan: "The shopkeeper's fiery eyes! ”
Lao Dan smiled and hurriedly waved his hand: "I talked too much, I talked too much, and I grabbed the corner." Today is not an old body looking for a guest, it is this distinguished guest! ”
She hurriedly moved out of the way and let Yu Lie look at the big-headed doll next to her.
Yu Lie noticed at this time that when he was talking to Lao Dan, the big-headed doll on the recliner was staring at him even more with a curious face.
The old servant next to the big-headed doll had a yin owl in his eyes, as if he wanted to peel off a layer of skin from the rest of the row with his gaze.
Without waiting for the rest of the list to speak, the old servant said unceremoniously: "The person has brought it, the shopkeeper, you should avoid it first." ”
Lao Dan smiled, his face stiffened when he heard the words, but he immediately fiddled with Luo Pa: "Okay, okay, don't disturb the young master's good things!" She covered her mouth, walked out of the conservatory with small steps, and closed the door intimately.
Squeak, the conservatory was instantly quiet, the red light hit the ground, and the aroma seemed to be accumulated.
Outside the window, the bloody gamble continued, but no sound could be heard.
Yu Lie looked at the master and servant in front of him, not knowing what the other party's intentions were, so he just listened.
I saw that the old servant suddenly sneered and said:
"Yu Lie, a child of the Yu family in Qianjun, a concubine, once used his liver and lungs as a countervail, borrowed money to go out of the town to eliminate demons, and is now a subordinate Taoist child...... Tsk, it's only been a few months, and you've digested the second change. ”
Yu Lie heard the other party report his information one by one, and he could see at a glance that he had just finished digesting the changes of "like a wolf and a tiger".
His pupils shrank.
Then, Yu Lie felt that the light in front of him was dim, and the old servant took six or seven steps in the blink of an eye, so that Yu Lie's naked eye could not catch it, and appeared in front of Yu Lie in a trance.
However, the old servant did not show hostility, he looked at Yu Lie's calm appearance, but instead faded coldly, looked at Yu Lie appreciatively, and asked:
"What kind of exercises are you cultivating?"
Yu Lie realized that this old servant was likely not just a Dao Tong realm, but would be an eight-rank Daoist level figure! He lowered his gaze, took a slight breath, and said in a deep voice:
"Five Poisons Refining Dirty Guidance Technique, Poison Gong."
Yu Lie is the exercises that he received in the library pavilion, and they must be recorded one by one, and this record must be kept secret for ordinary people, but if the old servant on the other side really wants to inquire, it must not be difficult.
The old servant pondered: "It turned out to be a poisonous skill, no wonder it can be so fast." ”
The interest on this person's face was even greater, he pointed out the window, and asked: "Now it seems that even if you end the gambling fight just now, you are likely to kill the other party, get angry, and make 10,000 yuan for nothing...... Why don't you bet? ”
Yu Lie pondered for a long time, but said: "There's no need, gambling is dangerous after all, if you can't commit it, you may offend people even more."
"Hahaha!" When the old servant heard Yu Lie's answer, he was utterly happy:
"What a wise little Taoist boy, in a dangerous place like Heishui Town, if he doesn't fight, he will die, and he is practicing poisonous skills, but he can still know the truth of 'why take risks' and know how to advance and retreat."
The old servant threw his hand at the big-headed doll behind him: "Young master, your scholar has been selected again, this son is very good, maybe he can be the leader of the young master's Taoist soldiers in the future." ”
When the big-headed doll heard the old servant's words, a happy expression suddenly appeared on her face.
Because of her obesity, it was difficult to get up, but the big-headed doll still struggled to turn over from the chair and grabbed hands towards the rest of the row, as if she was learning to arch.
Yu Lie was stunned when he heard the old servant's words.
There was lightning flickering in his mind, and he immediately thought of Gao Li revealing the news to himself before, and a thought popped up: "Could it be that Gao Li wants to win consecutive victories just to win this person's favor and appreciation?" ”
Sure enough, the next moment, the old servant of the Yin Owl said again:
"Young man, the servant can ensure that you leave this Heishui Town today, and you can also provide a qualification and opportunity to promote to a Taoist disciple, as well as go to the state city to cultivate and study the Fa......"
The old servant on the other side continued, promising all kinds of conditions, but Yu Lie only heard the first three, and he felt a bang in his head, as if there was a thunderclap exploding.
Leaving a remote and barbaric place like Blackwater Town is the dream of the town's Taoist children for a lifetime! The reason why Yu Lie stepped up his cultivation and practiced the poisonous skill was that he hoped to be promoted to a Taoist disciple within three years, so that he could have a chance to leave Blackwater Town.
But this is only possible, after all, he has been delayed for more than a year, and in the end, if he wants to be promoted to Daoist, he has to pass the death trial!
As for going to the state city to cultivate, it is even more unimaginable, for example, in the family from which Yu Lie came from, there are only one or two people in a generation.
Yu Lie looked at the big-headed doll on the recliner and thought:
"This is a big family!"
