Chapter 18 Half Moon Dao Yuan, Three Treasure Shops
Nie Xiaoqian pursed her lips tightly and didn't speak, and after a long time, she suddenly whimpered, and threw herself towards the gravel hill regardless of everything.
As she pounced, a peach petal also hit the gravel hill hard, and suddenly the entire hill was shaken, and the gravel flew. Nie Xiaoqian bit her lip vigorously, didn't say a word, just began to frantically clean up the rubble.
"Bang bang bang!"
One stick of incense, two pillars of incense, three sticks of incense.
Half an hour had passed, and the entire gravel hill had been leveled, leaving only a dozen dead bodies in their place. And after Nie Xiaoqian checked the last corpse, she finally sat down on the ground in a gloomy manner, muttering with pain in her eyes: "No, no, there is really no tree heart." ”
Sun Li looked at Nie Xiaoqian's appearance and sighed lightly, not knowing what to say.
To be honest, Sun Li himself did not expect this situation. How is the heart of the tree not in the box, how can it be missing out of thin air?
No, the heart of the tree has no long legs, and it is impossible for him to go missing, he can only be taken away, so ......
A gleam flashed in Sun Li's eyes, and he turned his head sharply to look at the dead bodies lined up on the ground.
Without exception, the people who were originally in the Nine Candles Ruyi Hood, after the shield was broken, all died under the squeeze of the rubble, unrecognizable and miserable. Even the purple-robed Taoist priest was blurred in flesh and blood, after all, the flesh and body could not compete with hundreds of thousands of catties of gravel.
Sun Li stared at the corpses on the ground, and then counted them one by one, until finally his hand tightened suddenly, and finally understood that the heart of the tree would be missing.
Because one of these corpses is missing!
Originally, counting the purple-robed Taoist priests, there were ten people in this line, but now there were only nine corpses on the ground. In other words, one of the people left the group and returned with the heart of the tree first.
Regardless of why this is happening, this is the only explanation for this.
"One step ahead?" Sun Li's eyes were solemn, constantly scanning the corpses on the ground, and after half a sound, he was sure who the person who had left, and a pair of greedy and vicious eyes flashed in his mind.
Outside the temple, the young man who attacked him with the lightning talisman at the beginning!
"Is it you?" Sun Li said softly, then glanced at Nie Xiaoqian and told the other party his guess.
"It's him!" Nie Xiaoqian's eyes regained a little brightness, and then clenched her fists.
"Huh?" Sun Li frowned slightly, "Senior sister, you also know him?"
Nie Xiaoqian nodded lightly, and said with anger in her eyes: "If it weren't for him, there would be no such things at all." ”
"Huh?"
"Do you know why those people are chasing me?"
"I don't know. ”
Nie Xiaoqian bit her lip lightly and said word by word, "It's because of him!"
Then, Nie Xiaoqian slowly narrated, and after half a pillar of incense, Sun Li finally figured out the cause and effect of the matter.
At the beginning, Nie Xiaoqian entered the county seat and bought medicine for herself, everything was normal. It's just that I didn't expect that when I came back, I accidentally bumped into the person named Chen Xuan, which caused the other party's anger. The boy is vigorous, and the other party relies on his ability to shoot directly and arrogantly.
And Nie Xiaoqian is not an ordinary person, seeing that the other party is unreasonable, she directly threatens, and directly injured the other party according to the cultivation of the Nine Layers of Detachment, and then floated away.
Unexpectedly, this was a big basket, and a group of people who came down from Jinhua Mountain were eating tea not far away, and after seeing that their disciples in the mountains were injured, they immediately had to protect themselves.
Then, the purple-robed Taoist priest who shot discovered the demonic aura on Nie Xiaoqian's body.
The nature of the matter changed all of a sudden, and the purple-robed Taoist priest, who originally wanted to be merciful, directly went all out.
After that, Nie Xiaoqian fought desperately to break out of the encirclement and fled back to Dajue Temple.
What Nie Xiaoqian didn't expect was that this was just a ploy by the other party, a strategy of "casting a long line to catch a big fish".
The other party pursued all the way under the leadership of the purple-robed Taoist, and finally discovered the location of the old tree demon, and then there was something afterward.
The old tree demon was gouged out, and the Dajue Temple was destroyed.
Speaking of this, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't cry anymore, and her face was full of tears.
Originally, Nie Xiaoqian thought that the old tree demon would definitely die, but she found that the other party just dug into her heart and left, leaving a glimmer of hope. So Nie Xiaoqian tried everything to let Sun Li help retrieve the heart of the tree, but she didn't expect it to be just an empty box.
Big down, big up, big up and down!
No one can stand this kind of change, Nie Xiaoqian is really desperate, she can only cry in place.
"Grandma...... Woo...... Woo......"
Sun Li watched from the side, and after a long while, he gently touched Nie Xiaoqian's body, and Nie Xiaoqian looked at it with red eyes, "What are you doing?"
"Senior sister, it's almost, I've cried enough, let's keep going. Saying this, Sun Li handed over a side of Bai Juan, but it was the side that Nie Xiaoqian handed to him before to wipe off the bloodstains, but the bloodstained part was torn off.
Nie Xiaoqian took Bai Juan mechanically, wiped it, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where are you going?"
Sun Li took a long breath, looked at the distance and said softly, "Jinhua Mountain." ”
Voice, calm and resolute.
Nie Xiaoqian's movements stagnated slightly, and Bai Juan slipped from her hand, looking full of disbelief, "Jinhua Mountain?"
At this time, after ups and downs, Nie Xiaoqian's initial impulse in her heart had been exhausted, and she finally recognized the reality, or really despaired. Nie Xiaoqian knows very well how many masters there are in Jinhua Mountain, and it is definitely lifeless to go there to snatch back the heart of the tree. However, Nie Xiaoqian really didn't expect that Sun Li would make such a decision when he had already given up.
"Yes, Jinhua Mountain!" Sun Li said slowly, and then looked at Nie Xiaoqian.
Nie Xiaoqian's gaze touched Sun Li slightly, and immediately turned to the side, and suddenly a little indescribable feeling suddenly appeared in her heart.
"You can't go, you're going to die. Nie Xiaoqian lowered her eyes and said.
But Sun Li shook his head and said, "Actually, there is no glimmer of hope. ”
"Huh?"
"The heart of the tree was taken away, so we didn't grab the heart of the tree, but have you ever wondered why the heart of the tree was taken to Jinhua Mountain first?"
"Nope. Nie Xiaoqian shook her head honestly.
And Sun Li squatted down, drew a small circle on the ground with a stick, and then drew a big circle, and said slowly, "The small circle is Chen Xuan, and the big circle represents the dead purple-robed Taoist priest." It seems that Madoka was originally contained in the Great Circle, but now Madoka has broken away. ”
"Is it possible, then, that this small circle is not part of the great circle at all, but the key to the composition of another large circle. As he spoke, Sun Li drew a big circle on the outside of Xiao Yuan and circled it inside, "If I remember correctly, those young disciples who died were called purple-robed Taoist priests, and Chen Xuan's name was uncle." ”
"In that case, isn't it Chen Xuan who took the heart of the tree, returned first, and gave it to his real master. As for why he dared to do this, and why the purple-robed Taoist priest would allow him to do it, I can't think of it now, but I can guess that there is a very high probability that this Jinhua Mountain is not monolithic. ”
"Since it is not monolithic, there must be some gaps, and if there are gaps, there are opportunities. Sun Li slashed the ground with a branch, drew a deep groove, cut off three circles of two large and one small, and said in a deep voice, "Therefore, it is still possible to snatch back the heart of the tree." ”
"Really?"
"Really. ”
"Really?"
"It's really true!"
Nie Xiaoqian suddenly fell silent, looked at Sun Li seriously, and said in a low voice after a long time: "If you can really save Grandma's heart, I ......"
"Huh?"
Nie Xiaoqian suddenly raised her head, her face was solemn, and she said extremely firmly: "I'll marry you!"
With a crisp sound of "click", the branch in Sun Li's hand was directly broken, and then he looked at Nie Xiaoqian with a little surprise, and looked at Nie Xiaoqian seriously.
From head to toe, from foot to head, Sun stood and looked at it for a long time, until Nie Xiaoqian's face turned red, and then nodded thoughtfully and said, "This, I think it can really be ......."
With a "bang", a pink peach blossom was thrown over.
There's a word for anger!
Sun Li smiled, got up quickly, dodged the magic weapon attack, and walked towards the distance. A vague look of worry flashed in his eyes, then quickly vanished and returned to normal.
At this moment, only Sun Li knew how heavy his words just now were.
Jinhua Mountain, it's difficult!
Even if it's not monolithic, it's almost impossible to snatch back the old dryad's heart from there?
But Sun Li didn't say anything, just walked forward quickly under Nie Xiaoqian's annoyed gaze.
Either don't commit or do it with all your might.
Sun Li squinted his eyes and walked, but what he was thinking about was Nie Xiaoqian's kiss before-since weak women can fight hard, why should they be stingy with courage?
Half a month later, one dusk......
In Ping'an County, on a bustling street, in front of a brand-new restaurant, more than a dozen guys with nimble hands and feet are busy.
Some scrubbed doors and windows, some hung plaques, and some prepared firecrackers......
Song Daquan, who was slightly fat, was meticulously patrolling, and as soon as he saw any guy who didn't work hard, he immediately kicked it hard, and scolded by the way: "You little rabbits, my double salary is not for nothing, give me some heart." This restaurant, which will open tomorrow, is the key to my comeback. If I make any basket out of you, I won't spare you, you know!"
"Got it, Master Song, we will definitely make it beautiful for you. A clever guy was very flattering, "Keep it and let Song Ye, your newly opened restaurant, be prosperous, and make money every day." ”
"Haha, you kid can talk. Song Daquan laughed, his eyes swept over the end of the street, and then his smile closed slightly, and he saw two pot-bellied businessmen walking over in the distance.
The two of them first looked at Song Daquan's restaurant seriously, and then squeezed out a smile from their faces, and arched their hands at Song Daquan: "Hey, isn't this Boss Song, I heard that your restaurant didn't fall down before, why is it reopening now, could it be that you dug up people's ancestral graves and made a windfall?"
"Hehe, Boss Ma, Boss Niu, you guys are really good at laughing. I was timid enough to dig up the graves of my ancestors. It's just that he smashed the pot and sold iron to make up the last bit of capital, and wanted to reopen this restaurant. This restaurant will officially open tomorrow, and I hope you two will come tomorrow to enjoy your face. ”
"Definitely, definitely. ”
"Thank you, thank you, you two walk slowly. ”
Boss Ma and Boss Niu nodded, walked quickly into the distance, and walked out of enough distance before they glanced at each other and whispered.
"This Song Daquan really smashed the pot and sold iron?"
"Who knows, but even if he smashes the pot and sells the iron to open it, with the few brushes he used before, the restaurant will collapse sooner or later, and it will be time to collect the reserve price of his house deed. I'll say it first, you are not allowed to rob me at that time, I have been looking at this position for a long time. ”
"Look at what you said, can I rob you, take a walk, go to Cuihualou to drink flower wine." The two men walked off into the distance.
And Song Daquan in front of the restaurant looked at the back of the two leaving, spit in disgust, and said viciously: "Two miscellaneous! If it weren't for the two of you stumbling, my restaurant would have fallen so quickly last time, hum!"
"Alright, get to work, the plaque is a little higher. Soon, Song Daquan urged again.
In this way, more than a dozen guys were busy until it was dark, and then dispersed, while Song Daquan cautiously slipped into the restaurant after looking around that there was no one for a week.
"Knock knock", a knock on the door sounded, and a door on the second floor of the "squeak" opened, and Song Daquan cautiously walked into the room. Then he looked at a young man in the room, bowed slightly and said, "Sun Gongzi, what you ordered has been done, and the restaurant will open tomorrow." ”
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Boss Huang. Sun Li nodded, glanced at the other party, and then asked, "Are you sure about the fate card?"
"Yes, just like I inquired about before. ”
"So, Jinhua Mountain will also issue fifty Dao Yuan cards this year, as long as you can get the Dao Yuan card, you can participate in the trial of Jinhua Mountain, as long as it is not too bad, you can stay. ”
"Yes, yes, it's all made by everyone in order to give their children and grandchildren a fairy fate, and it is also a tool for Jinhua Mountain to collect money. ”
"Are you sure, only if everyone is big, then Jinhua Mountain will issue the Dao Yuan card?"
Every year, the Dao Yuan card is scraped off by more than a dozen big households in this plain county, and there has never been an accident. ”
"What is the minimum standard for a large household?"
"Either there are thousands of acres of fertile land in the house, or there are at least three shops in this county, each of which must be the kind with an annual income of 10,000 taels of silver. ”
"Then when will today's Dao Yuan card be issued?"
"More than half a month later. ”
"More than half a month, well, I know. Sun Li nodded, then looked at Song Daquan and said, "That's troublesome Boss Song, it will open tomorrow, Boss Song will go back and rest early." ”
"Okay, you two should rest early. Song Daquan left the restaurant very interestingly, and when he was about to walk out of the street, he couldn't help but glance back.
Until now, Song Daquan couldn't figure out what the man and woman in that room wanted to do. Half a month ago, his restaurant closed down, and he was about to hang himself, but he didn't expect to be saved by these two people.
Then I asked myself something about Jinhua Mountain, and I gave myself a lot of silver, let me reopen the restaurant, and promised to give myself a dividend of 30%.
However, why doesn't the other party open it himself if he has the money, and why is he so concerned about that Dao Yuan card?
Song Daquan thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, so he had to shake his head fiercely and walk into the distance, ready to go back to his dilapidated hut to sleep, and strive to do tomorrow's things well.
Tomorrow, the restaurant will open, and whether you can make a comeback depends on tomorrow.
I'm not a boss now, but a part-time worker. Although the boss himself was incompetent and defeated the restaurant, the man knew what to do to satisfy the young new owner, nothing more than to do his best.
Thinking of this, Song Daquan's eyes became hot, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
In the restaurant room, Sun Li gently closed the door and heard Nie Xiaoqian say, "Do you really want to get the Daoyuan card?"
"Otherwise, how can you enter Jinhua Mountain?" Sun Li asked rhetorically, "Or, how can you enter Jinhua Mountain without suspicion?"
"Jinhua Mountain is the other party's lair, and it is not realistic to fight hard at all, it can only be infiltrated a little bit. I know you're in a hurry, sister, but this matter can't be rushed. ”
"But how can you get that fate card, then Song Daquan also said, at least three stores. ”
"Actually, it's not difficult to buy three shops, and with the treasure from the temple, you can buy thirty shops. But we can't do that, because it's so obvious that once Jinhuashan doubts our identity, we can be found out at a glance. Therefore, we must use a seemingly reasonable method to help Song Daquan get three shops with an annual income of 10,000 taels, and then use his hand to get the Dao Yuan card. In the end, he pretended to be his distant relative and entered Jinhua Mountain, so that people would not be suspicious. ”
"However, it is only half a month. ”
"Yes, I know it, but it's not hopeless, it's man-made. ”
"But......" Nie Xiaoqian wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Sun Li waving his hand.
Sun Li opened the window, looked at the night sky outside, and said faintly, "It's open tomorrow, everything will wait until tomorrow, just believe me once, senior sister." ”
"Good. Nie Xiaoqian replied softly.
