Chapter 60: The Net
Steward Hou was very happy, and he wrapped up the eight altars of spirit wine and bamboo Yeqing on the spot, and he was still complaining about why Liu Xiaolou was delayed for so long this time, saying that the upper-level disciples of the sect had been out of alcohol for several days.
This time, he offered to pay the bill with spirit stones, because there was no cash on his body. Liu Xiaolou glanced at Deacon Hou who was going down the mountain again, only to feel a cold scalp, and quickly agreed.
Deacon Hou, the only one in the Qingyu Sect who recognized him, is here, can he continue to do this business? Liu Xiaolou had no bottom in his heart. Therefore, let's get the spirit stone in our hands first.
One spirit stone and two altars of bamboo leaves are green, this is the usual price, of course it will not be the case at this moment. The eight altars of bamboo leaves in front of him, Steward Hou gave a total of six spirit stones, and Liu Xiaolou did not bargain for this. In just half a month, based on the original seventy or eighty taels of silver, he was very content with the current six spirit stones, and at the same time, he was also worried that if he and Steward Hou went back and forth for the price, Steward Hou's brother Deacon Hou would turn back, and it would be worth the loss.
Taking advantage of the time when Steward Hou instructed the servants to pick up the wine, Liu Xiaolou sent the pheasant, and Steward Hou really liked it, and was surprised to carry the pheasant and look at it repeatedly: "I haven't seen this kind of game, where did you get it?" Is it delicious? ”
Liu Xiaolou said with a smile: "When I passed by Wuling Mountain, I happened to bump into it, so I called the steward to try it." The beast was very shrewd, and had a bit of spirituality, and after two days of pursuit, he took it down. ”
Hearing the word "spirituality", Steward Hou was even happier, praised again and again, and couldn't put it down, and the two servants came to pick up the pheasant, but they were all slapped open by him.
Taking advantage of his happiness, Liu Xiaolou tried to ask: "Just now, there was a deacon surnamed Hou who was here to look at the goods, and he was in charge of your brother, right?" ”
Steward Hou smiled: "You say he, it's him." He doesn't care about procuring goods, he just hangs around. Somehow, they suddenly came, saying that the sect elder had summoned a few of them to come overnight. What is the name of this pheasant? Ah, in your name, the green-feathered pheasant, I'll eat it tonight, and give my brother the wind. ”
As he spoke, he took out a bracelet, full of gold beads, and estimated that there were three or four weights, and threw it to Liu Xiaolou: "I've rewarded you!" ”
After Steward Hou left, Liu Xiaolou fell into a deep thought, and suddenly said to Zuo Gaofeng and Tan Bazhang beside him: "This brother of Steward Hou is the visiting deacon of the Qingyu Sect, specializing in patrolling the mountains and arresting bandits......
Tan Bazhang asked, "You also want to slap his brother?" ”
Zuo Gaofeng was shocked: "Something is going to happen!" ”
Tan Bazhang didn't understand yet: "What? ”
Zuo Gaofeng explained while packing up the specialties he was selling: "Let's go! Didn't you listen to Steward Hou? His brother was summoned up the mountain by the elders of the Qingyu Sect overnight, overnight! Several of their visiting deacons were summoned up the mountain! ”
At this moment, even Tan Bazhang realized: "Yes, what is this here to do?" ”
Zuo Gaofeng said: "Don't care what you do, in short, there are signs, let's avoid it for a while, although the Qingyu Sect is generous, there is no need to take risks." ”
Liu Xiaolou said again: "I know Steward Hou and his brother, he seemed to be hanging out here just now, but in fact, he glanced at people's faces, he was not looking at goods, he was looking at people!" ”
Zuo Gaofeng had already cleaned up, two big bamboo baskets were picked up on the flat shoulder, and the probe looked around, seeing that the ghost dream cliff was still lively, and there seemed to be no change for the time being, so he said: "Let's go one by one, don't make a show." Xiaolou, you go first. ”
Liu Xiaolou said: "Lord Zuoxia, Brother Tan, you go first, and I will inform the Longshan Sanren and them." ”
Tan Bazhang said: "I'll accompany Xiaolou, Brother Zuo will go first." ”
Zuo Gaofeng sighed: "Xiaolou is so righteous, we can't be heartless, so we simply inform the past one by one, and let the Taoist friends evacuate one by one." ”
Without further ado, Liu Xiaolou paced in front of Longshan Sanren first, and whispered in his ear: "Sanren, the situation is not right, take shelter for a few days." ”
Longshan Sanren was stunned, no longer spoken, Mali closed the stall, and swayed down the ghost dream cliff.
Then there was Linglingke, who was so fast that he didn't even want two big beehives that hadn't been sold, so he got up and ran, causing several people at his stall to look at him inexplicably, and I don't know why he was like this. Liu Xiaolou was also speechless with anger, what Brother Wei said in the dark is indeed good, this guy is really not a thing, who cares about him next time is his grandson!
Then there are Huang Yexian in the Jade Girl Cave, the Ma brothers in Wuzifeng, Jiang Feihu in the Flying Tiger Cave, Zhang Shihua in Shihua Valley, and the old beetle in Hulukou, these people are not particularly familiar with Liu Xiaolou, but for the sake of being colleagues in Wulong Mountain, Liu Xiaolou still informed the past one by one, and almost every other tea time to inform one person.
Everyone is a Taoist friend, and the keen perception of danger has long been engraved in their bones, without Liu Xiaolou's explanation, they should go, but they are not as unbearable as Linglingke, and they leave calmly one by one.
Guzhang Mountain Qiying has a large number of people and a lot of momentum, so Liu Xiaolou didn't inform them, and told Sister Qing a few words, so that Sister Qing could tell them in the end.
The people on his side informed him that it was over, Liu Xiaolou nodded to Tan Bazhang and Zuo Gaofeng, and he was not polite, he went down the mountain first, and when he left, he looked back, and the ghost dream cliff was still lively, for the temporary market with nearly two hundred stalls, it was not at first glance to miss these dozens of stalls.
After going down the mountain, Liu Xiaolou waited at Tian Bo's house, and from time to time he saw a friend of Wulong Mountain leaving in a hurry.
Zuo Gaofeng and Tan Bazhang did not come down from this mountain road, they should have taken other mountain roads, but they undoubtedly left, because Liu Xiaolou told Sister Qing to inform Guzhang Lin Qiying after the two of them left.
At this point, Liu Xiaolou was finally relieved, even if Qingyuzong suddenly turned his face, he would catch a casual cultivation in other places, and it had nothing to do with Oolong Mountain.
With brisk steps, he returned to Wuchao Town along the bank of the Wuchao River, returned to his small courtyard in seclusion, and continued to cultivate steadily.
It is still the seventh acupoint of the Yin Sutra - the Great Tomb Acupoint, which ran out of spirit stones halfway through the rush half a month ago, and now holds six spirit stones in his hand, and then continues to impact.
When it was late at night, the courtyard door suddenly "banged", and Liu Xiaolou knew who it was when he heard the knock.
After opening the door, Sister Qing flashed in, looked out of the door nervously, and closed the door again. Her head was covered with beads of sweat, her chest was heaving, and she couldn't breathe.
"What's wrong, Sister Qing?"
"Whew...... Something went wrong......"
"Don't panic, take your time......"
"I didn't panic, I was just tired, running all the way...... Xiao Lou didn't know that as soon as the sun set, the Ghost Dream Cliff was surrounded...... Call....... Hundreds of people from the Qingyu Sect came, all of them were arrested, and then screened, those of us who didn't practice were released, and the rest ......"
"How?"
"I don't know yet, anyway...... It's fierce! ”
