Chapter 20: The Three Chai Brothers
Luo Tian walked out of the Treasure Pavilion, it was already dark and the sun was setting, and the pedestrians on the street were slowly becoming scarce. Most of the ordinary people had dispersed, and most of the few pedestrians were also sword-bearing cultivators, and they were avoided by the ordinary people as if they were standing out from the crowd.
Seeing Luo Tian walking out of the Treasure Pavilion, a few little blue children who walked in front of him and straddled the goods selling goods had reverence in their eyes, but also deep fear. Luo Tian was already surprised by this, ordinary people were afraid of cultivators, just as cultivators were afraid of spiritual cultivation. As long as the other party's strength is higher than his own, he has this mentality.
Turning around, he was looking for someone to inquire about the location of the tea house, and a thin little boy holding a basket attracted Luo Tian's attention; not for anything else, but for the little boy did not avoid him in fear when he saw him, like other sellers; on the contrary, although the little boy was also very nervous and afraid, but the constantly flashing eyes and the restless and restless soles of his feet showed that the other party was fighting between heaven and man.
As if seeing Luo Tian looking at him, the little boy grabbed the basket and made a gesture of turning around and wanting to run, but for some reason he fixed himself there, keeping the turning motion two or three times and facing the side as if he had made up his mind, trembling and shrunk back and slowly moved over with the basket that was a little dirty.
Luo Tian looked at the other party curiously, and the other party also looked at Luo Tian curiously, and then timidly opened his mouth and handed over the basket: "Brother Fairy, buy some broken cakes." My mother made it herself, but it's sweet!" Luo Tian's eyes showed a smile after a moment, and he looked at the little boy in front of him who was doing business and doing his own thing, and he didn't know whether to praise the other party for seeing that he was rich, or whether the other party was ignorant and fearless.
However, there is one thing that Luo Tian admires the little boy when he arrives. Over there, he had the courage to overcome the fear in his heart, which Luo Tian cared about very much. All the little merchants knew that there was money in cultivators like themselves, but no one dared to open their mouths and want to sell it themselves, and the little boy in front of him did it, and this was courage. However, it is a pity that the little boy has obviously found the wrong target for selling the goods.
For a cultivator, a poor boy's homemade sweet cake is obviously unattractive, and with some bad-tempered cultivators, I am afraid that the little boy will already be kicked unconscious.
"I don't need sweet cakes!" Seeing the disappointment on the little boy's face, Luo Tian grinned and continued, "However, as long as you are willing to lead the way for me." This is yours!" Luo Tian's palm flickered in front of the boy's eyes, and a flash of golden light disappeared.
The little boy's body trembled, and the basket in his hand fell to the ground, and the brownish-gray sweet cakes were scattered all over the ground.
"Why don't you want to?" Luo Tian straightened up and made a gesture to leave, and the little boy reacted. Jumped in front of Luo Tian and shouted anxiously: "I am willing!
"Let's go!" Luo Tian nodded and motioned for the boy to lead the way in front, and the little boy picked up the basket and scattered sweet cakes and happily introduced the historic crown city as he walked towards the end of the street. Under the dim light, the lights on both sides illuminated the shadows of the two people, overlapping, elongating and deforming
"Okay, this is yours!" Luo Tian's fingers flipped like a flower, and the next moment the little boy's intuition sank slightly, and he was about to lift his clothes and look inside; Luo Tian shook his head and reminded: "If I were you, I would not open it until I got home!"
The boy froze for a moment, and then he saw the curious glances of his own group, one large and one small, in the dark corners of the street, many of whom had bad intentions.
Luo Tian's expression suddenly changed and he yelled viciously: "Get out, you little rabbit cub, it's a great favor if Ben Xiu didn't kill you." Do you dare to ask for a reward? I don't know if I live or die!" Luo Tian kicked the little boy out with one kick, but Luo Tian's force was really just right; it seemed terrifying, but when it really reached the little boy's body, it was just some innocuous bruises.
The little boy also seemed to finally understand, after a shout of 'wow', he 'dropped' the basket and turned away in horror, and disappeared as soon as the smoke slipped, and those ill-intentioned eyes disappeared after Luo Tian's kick.
It wasn't until he was sure that the little boy was safe to leave his sight, Luo Tiancai sighed with some emotion, looked up at the words 'Pinmingju' and walked in, and as soon as he entered the store, he heard Xiao Ding who was waiting on the side running up and asking with a smile: "Is it a guest of 'Pavilion Elder'?"
Luo Tian was a little surprised, but he still nodded, and after Xiao Ding saw Luo Tian nodding more and more compliments, he bent down slightly and saluted, so he asked Luo Tian to follow him upstairs.
Luo Tian did not doubt that he went up to the second floor after that, the second floor is convenient for the simplicity and simplicity of the hall on the first floor, and there is nothing to do with it; the corridor is full of elegant ornaments on both sides, and there are even fragrant spiritual grass bonsai embellishments; if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Luo Tian would never have believed that the interior of the tea house, which has a vulgar appearance and no bright spots, would be so unique. It really surprised Luo Tian.
"Here, please, Elder Ge, just wait inside. Xiao Ding stood still in the room with the sign 'Flowing Water Moss', told Luo Tian and left quickly.
"Waiting, so soon?" Luo Tian became more and more surprised, and his eyes became suspicious and vigilant, and his eyes became sharper; could it be that this is a black shop, and the pawnbroker who colluded with the old man to deceive some assets came here to rob it?
"Hmph, if that's the case! In addition to the scourge of this Treasure Pavilion today, this young master can be regarded as justifying his own name. With murderous intent in his eyes, he kicked at the closed door.
With a loud bang, Luo Tian rushed into the room with murderous intent, and was about to roar: "Thief, come here!" But he heard the old man of the Treasure Pavilion teasing and teasing voice in his ears: "Hey, where did this come from so much anger? Could it be that the old man is the big boss of Yunmeng Mountain who robbed the house, Chai Gang?"
forehead
Luo Tian's old face turned red in an instant, that's what he thought!
In the blink of an eye, I saw that the elder pavilion was sneering dirty
Luo Tian's whole person froze there instantly, and he didn't know what he had done behind him, anyway, when he came back to his senses. The person had already sat on the soft collapse with the elder of the pavilion, facing the thin flowing water and green moss stone around him, slowly sipping the fragrant and pleasant white spirit tea.
But in the face of the precious and known as the gentleman in tea, Luo Tian's state of mind was not here, but recalled that after reaching a deal with Ge Lao just now, he accidentally asked about the 'Chai Gang' in the joke before entering the door, and then Ge Lao said some secrets about the three Chai brothers in Guancheng
The eldest of the three brothers is also the current city lord Chai Zhu, the second is Chai Gang, the big boss of Yunmeng Shangyun Mengzhai thirty miles outside the city, and the third is Chai Lie, the leader of the city guard, who has a relationship with Luo Tian. This three Chai brothers are really the largest land snakes within a radius of 100 miles, and they are completely the private territory of the Chai family.
However, there are indeed some contradictions between these brothers. It is between the eldest and the second child, because of a woman in the Qinglou at the beginning, and finally because of the lack of strength, the second Chai Gang was forced to leave home, and set up a Yunmeng village on Yunmeng Mountain to fight against Chai Zhu; although the two are not like fire and water, but they are also slow fire and stew, and no one wants to see anyone.
Of course, what made Luo Tian wary was Elder Ge's evaluation of the third Chai Lie. It is said that this person is narrow-minded, lewd, and treacherous and domineering, but he is the strongest of the three brothers. It is also the only interconnected link between the eldest and the second.
These are extremely inconsistent with Chai Lie, who left a bold impression when Luo Tian saw today, and he is simply a person who came out of two templates. But either is enough to cause Luo Tian to be vigilant enough
Luo Tian, who wanted to return the entry tax tonight, began to have an ominous premonition in his heart. I was a little nervous about whether to go to Chai Mansion tonight.
