Volume 1 Chapter 178 Dead Shopkeeper

However, Fang Lie didn't care about their gaze, he walked slowly down the long street with his hands behind his back, scanning the shops on both sides with his eyes from time to time, and soon, he was in the middle and found the Mo Fangzhai he was asking for.

Looking at it from a distance, Fang Lie couldn't help but frown.

Because this Mo Fang Zhai is so broken, there are only two stories of wooden buildings, the paint is mottled, the doors and windows are broken, and even grass grows in many crevices, it is impossible to see.

If he hadn't known in advance, Fang Lie couldn't believe that this was actually the property of the dignified super sect Momen

Around it, other people's shops are almost all brand new, and at the very least, they are all extremely clean, and they don't show a dilapidated appearance. With this kind of appearance, I'm afraid customers won't come to the door, right? I really don't know how the shopkeeper here is cleaned up.

With a strong doubt, Fang Lie walked into Mo Fangzhai, and the result disappointed him even more, there were only a few old wooden shelves here, on which were placed some first-order and second-order materials that were not talked about much, as well as a few old porcelain bottles, which were probably elixirs.

But just looking at this bottle, Fang Lie couldn't believe that anyone would buy the pill inside to eat.

In this dilapidated shop, there is only a white-bearded old man napping behind the counter, this guy is dressed in tatters, and his robe is full of patches and dirt, you know, he is the shopkeeper, and if you don't know, I'm afraid it will be because this is a beggar

Faced with such a situation, Fang Lie didn't know what to say. Thinking that this was the task given to him by the sect, he understood what was going on, and he was definitely exiled by the sect

Fang Lie had no choice now, since he had accepted the task, he would definitely have to complete it.

In desperation, he could only shake his head depressedly, then walked over, patted the counter lightly, and said, "Shopkeeper"

"Ah" The old man in charge of the shopkeeper suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and asked with sleepy eyes, "Who are you?"

Fang Lie didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly handed over his jade plate.

"Ah, it's you," the old man in charge of the shopkeeper suddenly said in surprise, "I have received the news that you are coming, I didn't expect it to be so soon, Liu Dingyi, poor Dao, polite"

"Fang Lie" Fang Lie clenched his fists, and then frowned: "Dare to ask seniors, why does this place look so dilapidated?"

"Alas, it's hard to explain this matter" Liu Dingyi immediately said: "It's better for us to talk inside, since you want to take over my class, there are some things to explain to you." ”

"Haode," Fang Lie nodded.

Then, Liu Dingyi waved his hand to close the door of the store, and then took Fang Lie to the backyard.

It's quieter, with a big tree in the middle of the courtyard and a stone table under it.

Liu Ding smiled and said: "I'm alone here, the conditions are simple, I'm smiling."

Fang Lie didn't want to say anything, he just said perfunctorily, "It's okay"

"Hehe, it's good if you don't dislike it" Liu Ding smiled and said, "You sit here first, I'll make tea, I may not dare to say anything else, but the tea here is good." ”

"Okay," Fang Lie frowned and sat down at the stone table in the middle of the courtyard.

Liu Dingyi entered the inner room, and after a short time, he brought out two cups of hot tea.

He handed one of them to Fang Lie, and then sat down opposite Fang Lie while smiling: "Taste it, this is a local specialty of sea tea, it grows on the beach, it has the taste of the sea."

"Hehe, I'll try it" Fang Lie smiled and took a sip, only feeling a little salty, and the tea fragrance was also a little, but it was not very good.

If Fang Lie had been in the past, it would have been nice to have tea to drink, but now it is different, rich and powerful, Fang Lie's diet and daily life are rich, and the tea he drinks at home is made of underground spirit stone jade milk bubbles, which is wonderful.

In comparison, this so-called sea tea is nothing at all.

Of course, Fang Lie naturally couldn't just say it, so he just said perfunctorily: "It's not bad"

Then Fang Lie hurriedly shifted the topic to business.

"By the way" Fang Lie put down the teacup and asked, "Senior, but I don't know why this place is so dilapidated?"

"Alas, can it be because of weishenme?" Liu Dingyi said lightly: "Business is not good, you can't make money, and you have to be exploited, it's not bad if you can maintain it like this"

"Huh?" Fang Lie was stunned when he heard this, and then he frowned and asked, "I can understand that the business is not good, but what does it mean to be exploited?"

"This herring fish island belongs to a Venerable Master at the peak of the Purple Mansion, his name is Purple Haired Venerable, he and his four sons live in the Purple Hair Mountain Villa on the main peak, and they have to ask us to collect the so-called management fees, protection fees, and taxes every month. Liu Dingyi smiled bitterly and said: "As far as our broken shop is concerned, we have to hand over 100,000 spirit stones to them every month, even if there is no business." ”

"Hmph, this is too domineering, isn't it?" Fang Lie sneered.

"No way, who called people the head snake?" Liu Dingyi shook his head and said, "Not only that, but they also want to find ways to loot." The father and son are five people, taking turns to celebrate their birthdays, marrying concubines, giving birth to children, the full moon of children, and festivals, they all have to forcibly ask for gifts, which are worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones at every turn, and they can't give them if they don't give them

"I calculated, almost every year, they have to rob more than two million spirit stones. But our shop, because of poor management, has not made a profit for several years," said a little helplessly.

"There is no profit, then the spirit stones you gave them are all from the store?" Fang Lie said in shock.

"Naturally," Liu Ding smiled and said, "You can't let me pay for it privately, right?" Anyway, now this store is like this, the warehouse is empty, the books are empty, and there is nothing."

When Fang Lie heard this, he immediately became furious and said, "This shop in the sect obviously has a spirit pill worth tens of millions, as well as the same amount of spirit stone reserves, but you actually said that you didn't have anything? Did you give it to others, or did you fill your own pockets?"

You know, Fang Lie's mission here is to run a store, if he doesn't have anything, then what will he do to run it?

Of course, Fang Lie didn't care about this little money, but the problem was, this shopkeeper was obviously tired, he had tossed tens of millions of spirit stones in a few years, such a big hole, could he still ask Fang Lie to fill it in for him?

Seeing that Fang Lie was angry, Liu Dingyi said unhurriedly: "Hehe, let me tell you the truth, there are some gifts, but most of them are still with me, my inner disciple, just because I am not from a family, I was sent to such a broken place to wait for death, shouldn't I make a little money myself?"

"Ha" When Fang Lie heard this, he laughed angrily: "Sure enough, Liu Dingyi, you dare to embezzle public funds, aren't you afraid of the punishment of the sect?"

"Of course I'm afraid of the sect's punishment, so I have to pack up my things and die in the world, so naturally I don't need to worry about punishment" Liu Ding smiled and said: "Speaking of which, thanks to the sect for letting me stay here for so many years, I am familiar with a lot of shili and friends, the huge sea of stars, it is too simple to find a place to be incognito, and I am just a small person, presumably the sect will not look for me with great fanfare."

"But you told me this, could it be that you still want to escape?" Fang Lie sneered.

"Haha" Liu Dingyi looked up to the sky and said: "Poor boy, aren't you wondering why I didn't leave earlier, but had to wait for you to come before leaving?"

"Huh?" Fang Lie was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, "Could it be that you still want to fight my idea?"

"Haha, smart, it seems that you are not a fool who is useless" Liu Dingyi daxiao said: "Since I received the news that a disciple of the Qi Sea Realm was going to come to replace me, I realized that I was going to make a fortune, and the Qi Sea Realm dared to come to the Ten Thousand Star Sea, that must be the elite of the inner gate, the descendants of the great family and you guys, you guys, all have a common problem, that is, the experience is too low, and there is no way to play the cultivation and magic weapon that is not weak." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Fang Lie said puzzled, "Do you think you're going to eat me?"

"Of course I'm going to eat you," Liu Ding sneered, "Haven't you noticed yet, an idiot, that you've been poisoned, and you've lost all the mana in your body, so you can only let me slaughter you."

After speaking, Liu Dingyi said proudly: "I know that you children of the family have low experience, and they will definitely not guard against me, as long as you have a little scattered cartilage powder, you can easily clean you up and get your treasure." Hehe, how can you fools, even if the tea has a salty taste, as long as you lie and say that it is sea tea, you dare to drink it, you are really stupid. Haha, you kid, it's clearly the gift package that the sect gave me, hahaha."

When Fang Lie spoke, he looked inwardly at his whole body, but there was nothing unusual, but he quickly understood that it was the effect of Erer, this Dan furnace had tens of thousands of years of medicinal power, and after it was refined into a magic weapon, it had the function of driving away poison and warding off evil spirits.

And Liu Dingyi is obviously a low-level guy, even the poison has a salty taste, and it is obviously not up to the grade, so it is naturally difficult to help the Dan furnace that has reached the fourth order.

Since there is nothing to do, Fang Lie looks at Liu Dingyi's performance again, and he feels like watching a clown.

Fang Lie didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he flipped it over, showed out the Demon Suppression Golden Bowl, and directly took him in.

Liu Dingyi was very close to Fang Lie, plus he thought that Fang Lie had been poisoned and was a lamb to stay, so he was completely defenseless, and was easily cleaned up by Fang Lie.

It wasn't until he was completely imprisoned by the Demon Bowl that Liu Dingyi came to his senses, and roared with horror on his face: "This, what's going on? Shouldn't you have already dissipated your skills? Why can you still urge the magic weapon?"

"I'm sorry" Fang Lie smiled and said, "I have a treasure on my body that specializes in avoiding poisons, and the poison that waits for leisure has no effect on me." Sorry to disappoint you. Now I want to ask you, senior, how are you going to die?"
