Chapter 129: Unavoidable Cause and Effect
I combed the hair around my ears with my hands, and the dark red mark on my left cheek was even more obvious.
Shen Yan just thought that the other party didn't see it clearly.
He leaned closer and replied, "Thank you for your son's willingness to take in the little girl." β
After saying this, she stared at the man in front of her seriously. Expect the other party to subconsciously take a half step back, or have some other reaction.
However, it is disappointing that this guy doesn't seem to care at all.
just explained, "You go to Xianfang with me first." β
Then he walked straight in the direction he had set.
Looking at the back, Shen Yan scratched her head, and finally had to follow quickly, and with as little movement as possible, she hung the jade pendant and the money bag back on the target's waist.
Almost at the same time, Chen Changying noticed that his jade pendant and money bag had returned.
Of course, the money bag is equivalent to just now, a few points less weight.
It should have been taken away by the other party for dozens of taels of silver.
But none of this mattered, he had already decided to let this group of people help him find out the news of the Five Elements Medicine.
Walk through the streets of Liucheng Xianfang.
Without spending much energy, Chen Changying walked to a shop with vermilion doorposts carved with crane patterns.
The plaque hanging high on the beam, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing are written with the three big characters of "Xuan Bao Zhai".
Seeing that the man in front of him had already taken a step, he walked straight towards the house.
Shen Yan looked at the magnificent furnishings inside, as if she was a little timid, grabbed the corner of her clothes and whispered, "Childe, do you want to wait for you outside?" β
Hearing these words, Chen Changying always felt that the other party couldn't hold back his temperament and was ready to take the opportunity to escape.
But he still pretended not to know, and nodded in approval of the other party's proposal.
Alone into Xuan Bao Zhai.
As soon as he walked into the store, the shopkeeper showed a courteous smile on his face, hurriedly greeted him, and took the initiative to greet him: "Chen Gongzi, you can count it as coming." A few months ago, you had something left with us. β
I wasn't particularly surprised that the other party actually knew me.
This place is extremely close to the Qingyang Sect, and he is the second generation of the famous immortals of the Qingyang Sect.
Even the disciples of other sects who were thousands of miles away had vaguely heard about their deeds.
There are some large-scale shops in Xianfang, and it is relatively normal to firmly remember their appearance and name.
As for the mention of something left here.
He searched for memories for a long time, Xuan Bao Zhai himself had never been here in the past, and there was no possibility of losing anything.
And this is most likely not because the other party inadvertently misremembered.
It's more like the shopkeeper wants to take this opportunity to give himself some gifts and take the opportunity to get a knot.
After thinking this out, he maintained his current posture and patiently waited for the other party to take out the items.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper of Xuan Bao Zhai hurried a few steps, carefully took out a wooden box from the innermost shelf, and opened it.
A piece of crystal clear jade, which seems to faintly exude spiritual charm, immediately comes into view.
It looks like it's worth a lot of money.
At this very moment, four mission options popped into someone's mind.
[Option 1: Directly point out that the jade contains evil energy, and let the shopkeeper of Xuan Bao Zhai honestly cooperate with himself to investigate the source of the jade. Let the other party understand that he is not the second generation of straw bag fairies. Completion Reward: Sword Light and Sword Shadow - Xuan-level Upper Grade Exercises]
[Option 2: Inform the shopkeeper of Xuan Bao Zhai that there is something wrong with what he sent, and decide that the other party wants to frame him and get more money from him.] Completion Reward: Scorpion Tail Worm - Xuan Rank Lower Grade Spirit Worm]
[Option 3: Quietly refuse, stay away from this piece of jade that contains evil energy.] Completion Reward: Rune Stone - Xuan-Grade Lower Grade Refinery Materialγ
[Option 4: Silently accept the jade and temporarily store it in your own ring. Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]
Similar to the previous situation.
Unexpectedly, there are items with evil spirits again.
In addition, judging from the content of option 1 and option 2, the shopkeeper should not be aware of it, and the whole thing is just a coincidence.
No, it can't be counted as a complete coincidence.
Maybe it's because of myself that I inexplicably attracted these evil things.
Otherwise, the third option will not prompt you to choose to stay away.
At this point, the systematic information about causal values also reappears.
[Causal +1]
[The current causal value is 40 points, and when it reaches 60 points, it is possible to clash head-on.] γ
His eyes were slightly condensed, if he thought that the fate of himself and the protagonist Zhou Yuan was speeding up, it was just a conjecture based on keen intuition.
Now, then, it's a little more certain.
Thinking back to the upcoming Zongmen Grand Contest in three months, I had a reason why I had to participate.
It should be at that time that it is most suitable to end the causal relationship between himself and the protagonist Zhou Yuan.
If it continues to drag on, the situation is expected to get worse and worse.
During this period, the shopkeeper of Xuan Bao Zhai, who knew how to observe words and feelings, saw that the second generation of Qingyang Sect Immortals did not react for a long time, thinking that his gift was not sincere enough.
He was ruthless, and then brought another brocade box.
While unfolding it to reveal the glass Guanyin inside, he said ashamedly: "I'm sorry Chen Gongzi, I'm confused." There's one more item here, which you lost that day. β
The new four task options also appeared in front of Chen Changying.
[Option 1: Directly point out that these two pieces of jade contain evil energy, and let the shopkeeper of Xuan Bao Zhai honestly cooperate with himself to investigate the source of the jade. Let the other party understand that he is not the second generation of straw bag fairies. Completion Reward: Tianpeng Seal - Xuan-level Superior Grade Exercises]
[Option 2: Inform the shopkeeper of Xuan Bao Zhai that there are problems with the two things he sent, and decide that the other party wants to frame him and get more money from him.] Completion Reward: Purple Spirit Sand - Xuan-level Lower Grade Refiner Materialγ
[Option 3: Quietly refuse, stay away from these evil things.] Completion Reward: Cloud Neon Bead - Xuan-level Lower-grade Refinery Magic Weapon]
[Option 4: Silently accept the two pieces of jade and temporarily store them in your own vows. Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]
Just hesitated for a moment, but there was another evil thing.
Chen Changying didn't dare to waste any more time this time.
I'm afraid that the other party will continue to make something more evil.
Reach out and take both gifts, then take them all into the ring.
Seeing that the second generation of Qingyang Sect Immortals in front of him finally accepted the heavy gift given, the shopkeeper of Xuan Bao Zhai couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked:
"I don't know if Chen Gongzi came over this time and wanted to buy something."
The interlude ends, and we get back to business.
Chen Changying got straight to the point and said: "Do you have hateful water for sale here?" β
No hateful water.
This thing is the hottest natural treasure sold recently, and the shopkeeper naturally has an impression.
And he didn't have to look through the accounts to know that this thing had just been sold out yesterday.
Therefore, he could only explain with an embarrassed face: "Chen Gongzi, the hateless water in our store has been sold out. Originally, it was a wandering monk who sold it to our shop. That's just fifteen bottles in total. β
"Why don't I pay more attention in the future and ask for you."
I couldn't successfully get one of the five elements of medicine, the hateless water.
Chen Changying was a little disappointed.
But it's also good to have multiple helpers to help you find them.
As for the other four medicines.
After thinking for a moment, he also informed the other party.
Seeing that the shopkeeper of Xuan Bao Zhai nodded cautiously, he turned around and left the store.
The sparse flow of people, when Chen Changying stood back on the streets of Xianfang.
The woman, Shen Yan, was gone.
He was already aware of this when he was still communicating with the shopkeeper.
Because of the thousand-mile tracking ability of the nose attribute, it just so happens that the fragrance on the woman's body is more special, so it is not particularly troublesome to find.
β¦β¦
Inside a somewhat dilapidated house.
Shen Yan, who was still soft-spoken a moment ago, has now tied up her long hair, revealing a dark red mark generously.
One leg is raised directly to the table in front of you, and the elbow is placed on the leg joint, looking very horizontal.
In my ears, there was the sound of the previous gangster's inquiry.
"Boss, why did it take so long for you to get out this time. Could it be that you have taken a fancy to that handsome boy in a white robe? β
couldn't help but glance at Ma Qingsheng, Shen Yan pointed to his nose and said, "Master, I will take a fancy to that kind of guy with fine skin and tender meat?" What you just said is exactly the opposite. β
"It's that guy who has a crush on the master, so he has to pester the master."
"Otherwise, you think I'm willing to stay that long."
For these words, the people below obviously wanted to speak and stopped, and the expression on their faces looked a little strange.
After looking around, Shen Yanliu raised her eyebrows, but in the end she didn't continue to talk about this topic.
She casually took out fifty taels of silver, threw it in front of Ma Qingsheng, and then said, "This is Lao Feng's daughter's medicine fee this month, you can take it." β
When the words landed, she took out another five taels of silver and threw it in front of another junior brother, "Take this money and share it with the brothers, and buy some wine and meat by the way." β
After receiving the silver, everyone's faces were full of joy and left the dilapidated house one after another.
In an instant, Shen Yan was the only one left here.
She rubbed her forehead, looking a little sleepy.
But the next second, there was a slight sound of footsteps ringing in my ears again.
I thought someone had gone and returned.
But when she looked up, she found that the person who came was actually the white-robed boy from before.
