Nine days after the cold winter months, a strange thing happened in the city.

Even the royal canal was frozen into thick ice, but the fish pond of Zhou Bancheng's family was as warm as spring water.

The snow melts as soon as it falls, and when the jaw drops, the surface of the pond even smokes warm smoke.

People say that water means wealth, and this pool of spring water is simply wealthy.

This is a praising spectacle, and Zhou Bancheng is even more proud.

He thinks that it is the ancestors who appear to protect the wealth and prosperity of future generations, so he goes to the ancestral hall of the Zhou family every day to worship, and he has to say it more than a dozen times each time, and when the frozen soil is unsealed, he will expand the ancestral hall tenfold.

Before, because of the rare silver carp, Zhou Bancheng set up a banquet to watch the fish, and now because of the winter and spring fog, Zhou Bancheng set up a banquet to watch the water.

There were many people who came in the middle of the city, all of whom were buyers and sellers in the business field.

What's so nice about water?

Many buyers and sellers didn't want to come, but they had to come because they rented a house in Zhou Bancheng to do business.

You can't come empty-handed, otherwise you will eat for nothing and will be laughed at by your peers.

When you go to a half-city house to eat, the gifts you carry are not too cheap, anyway, you will definitely not be able to eat them with just one mouth.

The year is not good, the business is sluggish, and I can't make much surplus, so I have to pay this inexplicable money.

The same pool of water, looking at it twice in half a year, has made many people uncomfortable.

Among the people who came today was nicknamed "Acrobatic King".

The acrobatic king is in the antique business, from ancient times to the present, the literary play line can be summed up in one word, deception.

The fakes in the literary entertainment store cannot be called fakes, but "not real".

No matter who looks away and buys something that is not genuine, he can only consider himself unlucky.

Either you don't cheat others again, or you don't smash your hatred, in short, you can't find a seller to return.

Because it is impossible to give you a refund, not only will you not be able to get the money back, but you will also be laughed at by your peers.

The acrobatic king is a master of deception, and on his antique shelf, there are three true and seven false today, and seven false and three true tomorrow.

casually walked into his store, took a fancy to a small bowl, set the price, and packed the box, and the small bowl was transferred.

When you walk home with the box, you still think you've picked up a bargain.

So people in the industry laughed and said that he was not in business, he was acrobatic.

There are many tricks of the acrobatic king, for example, when he gets good goods, he does not sell them in the industry, but wants to spread the news, and then invites the rich and elegant vassals to watch the treasure at night.

People in the antique shop know a word, and they don't look at color under the lamp.

Because the color under the lamp is always not real.

Therefore, when viewing treasures at night, the acrobatic king will light up 100 oil lamps, just to fool outsiders.

This method is very effective, selling the unreal goods to outsiders at a large price, and sending the real goods to the big antique shops in the capital can also be sold at a good price, which deceives a lot of money for the acrobatic king.

In addition to deception, there is another feature in the antique shop, which is not open for three years, and it will be open for three years.

Selling a few small plates and bowls is not the opening of the antique shop, and the acrobatic king has not opened for half a year, which is the time of annoyance.

In the past six months, he spent money twice in a row to go to Zhou Bancheng's house to see the broken fish pond, which made him even more annoyed.

Today, the acrobatic king didn't come alone, he brought a Taoist master.

Dao Ye is short and thin, with bright eyes, no beard, two big hands rough, and a pair of strong feet.

Dao Ye didn't like to talk to people, and when businessmen greeted him, he only sat quietly and drank tea.

The host Zhou Bancheng said a lot of polite words, and after the false trick was done, he led the guests to the backyard to watch the water, and the Taoist master was mixed in it.

Today's winter wind is fierce, the pond is warm and foggy, and before approaching, I already feel that the fragrance is warm, and it is indeed like a fairyland on earth.

When everyone was secretly praising it, they suddenly heard a roar from Dao Ye, and his throat was ugly like a knife cutting through an iron piece.

"Good demon, where to run?"

Dao Ye jumped up, pulled out his peachwood sword, and stabbed into the spring water.

The fish scattered, and the pond water was inexplicably bloody!

"So cunning, dare to escape?"

Dao Ye pulled out the wooden sword, waved it in the wind, and suddenly there was a flash of fire.

The light of the fire was fleeting, dissipating in the cold wind.

"Not good!" Dao Ye exclaimed, went to Zhou Bancheng's side, grabbed his wrist fiercely, and asked sharply: "What is the southeast corner of the courtyard!"

Dao Ye asked in a voiced voice, his eyes were bloodshot, as big as a copper bell, frightened Zhou Bancheng's old face pale, and his voice trembled: "Yes, yes, it's the attic where the dog reads." ”

"Oops!" Dao Ye sighed bitterly: "Pity your son's life is coming to an end, sooner or later you will have to eat blood in the mouth of the monster!"

This sentence frightened Zhou Bancheng's eyes and fainted.

Everyone rushed up, beat their chests, pinched the people, and rescued Zhou Bancheng.

As soon as he woke up, he howled and cried, hugging Daoye's leg: "The gods must save my son's life!"

Dao Ye put away the peachwood sword, looked up to the sky and sighed: "The destiny is unbreakable, the destiny is unbreakable." ”

When it seemed that there was no help, the acrobatic king hurriedly pleaded: "Dao Chief, saving people's lives is an immeasurable merit, you can't let the demons take charge." ”

"If the mandate of heaven is broken, it will damage the poor and longevity. After Dao Ye sighed, Xiao Se smiled bitterly: "That's it, that's it, everything is fate." ”

After talking to himself, Dao Ye lowered his head and explained the reason to Zhou Bancheng, who was paralyzed on the ground.

The pond is not frozen, and there are water monsters.

The peachwood sword stabbed the water demon, so there was a little blood in the water.

But the water demon was not shallow, and he fled, so there was only a mid-air fire just now.

Now, the water demon fled to the southeast attic, and the demon spirit possessed your son's body to recuperate his wounds, and when it absorbed your son's yang spirit, when the injury healed, it was the day your son died in Huangquan.

After making it clear from beginning to end, Dao Ye thought about it again and again, and frowned: "If you want to save your son's life, you need to do three things. ”

"I only have this one son, don't say three, thirty have also been done!" Zhou Bancheng burst into tears and cried miserably.

The first thing is that the water demon has practiced for at least a thousand years, and it is necessary to find a bottle that is two thousand years old in order to contain the demon spirit.

The second thing, after forcing the demon spirit out of your body, you have to drink a bowl of splendid warm soup to completely remove the residual demon poison.

The third thing is to destroy the Water Demon Dojo, cut off its retreat, and leave it with nowhere to escape.

No matter what Dao Ye said, Zhou Bancheng agreed, afraid that he would not understand the mystery of Dao Ye, and asked him carefully one by one.

What kind of 2,000-year-old bottle should I look for?

Dao Ye lowered his head and pondered, and turned his head to look at the acrobatic king: "The treasure in your secret room is just enough to store demon spirits." ”

The Acrobatic King gasped and was full of embarrassment: "Dao Chief, that's the heirloom of the younger brother, if it is used to pretend to be a monster, wouldn't it be ruined?"

"Brother, save my Zhou family's only seedling. Zhou Bancheng grabbed the acrobatic king with both hands, and his face was full of tears: "No matter how much my brother's heirloom is worth, I will pay ten times more, and then give the deed of my brother's rented house to my brother." ”
