Chapter Seventy-Six: Skillfully Turning Suspicious Clouds and Calming People's Hearts, Brothers Lead the Way to the Town
Liu Qingyun listened carefully to Mei Li's narration, lowered his head and didn't say a word. He kept wondering, why did the Shadow Phantom start sucking people's souls directly now? Could it be that his mana had recovered. Oh, if that's the case, it's not going to be easy. But when I think about it again, it doesn't seem right. The Shadow Phantom had been refining in the Heavenly Gourd for decades, and it was impossible to recover his mana so quickly. And with the greed and cruelty of the shadow ghost, if he recovers his mana, the people of Shuanglong Town are afraid that they will die long ago. But why didn't he kill people first, and then suck the souls, as he did in Daoma Kiln? In such a prosperous place, he was not afraid of showing his feet. Summoned a master to deal with him? I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.
Liu Qingyun was thinking about the shadow ghost? Zhao Qian took a sip of tea and put the teacup on the table. The index finger tapped on the table: "Hey, Dao Chief, what do you want? Liu Qingyun's train of thought was interrupted by his words. Liu Qingyun blinked: "What did you just say?" Zhao Qian pouted in frustration: "Dare, didn't you listen? Did you listen to what my brother said?" Liu Qingyun nodded: "Oh, what Master Mei said, I heard it clearly." ”
Zhao Qian straightened up: "Ah! That's okay, don't you care what I say?" But Dao Chief, I have a sentence, I don't know if to ask?" Liu Qingyun looked at him, and he didn't know what he was going to ask? He gestured: "What does Master Zhao have to say?"
Zhao Qian didn't hesitate, and asked directly: "Dao Chief, you invite the two of us to drink such a good tea and spend hundreds of taels of silver." Is it just for these things? Did you lose money on this deal? What good is this for you? I really don't understand, can you solve my doubts?" Liu Qingyun really didn't expect that he could ask about this. Liu Qingyun was stunned for a few seconds, and Zhao Qian and Mei Li waited for Shi Tianxin to explain.
Liu Qingyun swallowed and spitted: "It--it, it's, that's what he's doing? Isn't he just--ah-this-ah!" The two brothers looked at it, what was going on with this Dao Chief? How did he spit out? Mei Li smiled: "Dao Chief, is there something unspeakable? If that's the case, we won't ask." ”
They said so in their mouths, but Liu Qingyun still saw doubts in their eyes. If you don't give them an explanation, you really can't. If they have any doubts in their hearts? When they get out of the teahouse, who knows what kind of speculation will come out of their mouths? Liu Qingyun sighed, wondering in his heart how to make the words come through. He seemed to be wondering if he should tell them what he was doing.
After half a cup of tea, Liu Qingyun coughed: "Ahem, alas! Okay! I'll tell you." But don't talk nonsense, you know?" the two quickly nodded in agreement, and leaned forward. Liu Qingyun took a sip of tea. Pretending to be an outsider: "So, before I tell you why, I'll ask you a question." How old do you think I am?"
The two of them shrunk their necks back and squinted at Liu Qingyun: "Dao Chief, it should only be fifty, forty-three or four, right?" Liu Qingyun shook his hand: "If Poor Dao remembers correctly, I am already six hundred and thirty years old this year." Zhao Qian and Mei Li almost slipped out of their chairs: "What are you talking about?
Liu Qingyun put his index finger on his lips: "Don't be so loud, let others know, there will be branches." Zhao Qian straightened the chair under his buttocks: "Dao Chief, does your age have anything to do with what you are inquiring about?" Liu Qingyun smiled: "Of course there is, I have been cultivating for hundreds of years." According to my mana, I can already turn into feathers and soar. But because I have been practicing penance in the mountains, I rarely go down the mountain to make good connections. As a result, the merit has not been enough, so it has not been able to soar to become an immortal. I went down this time to accumulate merit and hope to ascend as soon as possible. In addition to doing more good deeds, there is also the ability to subdue demons and eliminate monsters. I heard from you that there may be ghosts and monsters in Shuanglong Town, so I asked you about the deaths of people in Dao Ma Yao in the past few days. I want to analyze whether it's a monster or not. ”
Zhao Qian and Mei Li's eyes were straight when they were fooled by Liu Qingyun, and their minds were full of feathers, soaring, and becoming immortals. It took a while for the two to come to their senses. The two of them were about to stand up and kneel down for Liu Qingyun. Liu Qingyun stretched out his fingers and gently lowered a little. The two of them tried twice, but neither of them stood up. Liu Qingyun pretended to have a sinking face: "What are you doing?" I said it, I don't want to make trouble. There are so many people here? Aren't you looking for something for me? What I just said is out of my eyes and into your ears. I don't want to, let a third person know. Did you hear clearly? When you heard clearly, they all sat down and drank tea. ”
This time, the two of them didn't dare to sit on the chair with a big grin. On the other side, they are people who are about to become immortals, even if they are not immortals, they don't dare to be presumptuous just at the age he said. The two of them sat on the chair, and they used a half-pull buttocks, and only sat on the corner of the chair.
At this time, Merry suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Dao Chief, I want to ask." Are we making trouble in Shuanglong Town?" Liu Qingyun was afraid that they would go outside and talk nonsense, causing panic in the local area. So they told the truth: "I'm not sure about this yet." I'm going to go to the town manager to find out more, and I'll have to examine the body to find out. However, based on my years of experience, it shouldn't be a youkai who did it. Although Liu Qingyun's answer was vague, his words were revealing that it was not a monster. Merry breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Qingyun saw that he had dealt with them, and he was secretly relieved in his heart. The heart said, this person's curiosity is really difficult to deal with. Liu Qingyun was thinking about it, but he could deal with the two of them. He picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea. But at this time, Zhao Qian said a word, and Liu Qingyun almost choked. "Dao Chief, you see, how much fate do we have with you? Why don't you take us as an apprentice?"
Liu Qingyun didn't waste a sip of tea at all, and sprayed it all on Zhao Qian's face: "What? Zhao Qian and Mei Li looked depressed: "Why?" Liu Qingyun wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth: "You have nothing to do with the Immortal Dao, besides, you must cultivate immortals alone and enter the deep mountains to cultivate." You all have a family and a business, and you have distracting thoughts in your heart, so how can you cultivate the Tao? Moreover, cultivating immortals is very hard, which is not as good as being in the red dust. Don't think about it. Both of them were completely stunned. He asked them to abandon their homes and possessions and go to the mountains alone to do penance. They really can't do it.
Liu Qingyun glanced at them and quickly diverted the topic: "Two donors, where do you live as the town manager of Shuanglong Town?" Zhao Qian hadn't come out of his emotions yet, but Mei Li reacted very quickly: "Oh-, you asked the town housekeeper? Where is his house, right? Anyway, our brothers are fine, let's take you there?" Liu Qingyun nodded: "Well! That's fine." I don't have to look for it myself. ”
After Liu Qingyun finished speaking, he stood up and went straight to the counter to check out. Mei Li patted Zhao Qian with her hand: "Okay, it's time for us to go." Zhao Qian was excited, stood up and went to the counter with Mei Li. Liu Qingyun took out a piece of gold from the treasure bag in his arms, which could have more than 20 taels, and it was more than enough to pay for tea.
Since drinking tea and paying gold in Daoma Kiln, Liu Qingyun has exchanged a lot of scattered gold and silver. The amount of silver to be paid this time was nearly two hundred and thirty taels. That's why he took out the gold. He put the gold on the counter, and the shopkeeper took out a small weighing plate from the counter, which meant to weigh the gold, and after calculating it, he would find money for Liu Qingyun.
Liu Qingyun waved his hand: "Forget the nickname, I will reward you more." The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and looked at Liu Qingyun with gold in his hand: "Dao Chief, you, what you said is true." Is this dozens of taels of silver?" Liu Qingyun smiled slightly and walked out of the teahouse. But as soon as he turned around, he found that Zhao Qian and Mei Li did not come out. Liu Qingyun walked back to the teahouse, and he saw Zhao Qian and Mei Li, who were dividing the silver at the counter?
Liu Qingyun looked at the two of them and pointed to the silver in their hands: "What are you doing here?" Zhao Qian smiled awkwardly: "Dao Chief, that's the case." The shopkeeper did not dare to accept such a reward. You turn around and leave, and he gives us both the money. ”
Liu Qingyun looked at the shopkeeper, it was the first time he had met such an upright person. I don't take advantage of the cheap that comes to my mouth. Liu Qingyun nodded, and took out another piece of gold from his arms. Liu Qingyun put it on the counter: "Shopkeeper, I forgot something just now." The dragon pillar tea in your teahouse is really good, how many dragon pillar tea do you have? I want it all. ”
The shopkeeper looked at the gold on the counter, then shook his head. Liu Qingyun was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter? isn't this money enough?" The shopkeeper smiled: "Dao Chief, our Longzhu tea is only sold in the teahouse." It's not take-out. Liu Qingyun nodded: "Oh, I see? He turned to Zhao Qian and Mei Li and said, "Okay, since the shopkeeper doesn't want to reward money, the silver will belong to you, right?"
Liu Qingyun took Zhao Qian and Mei Li out of the teahouse. When he got outside, he changed to Zhao Qian and Mei Li and led Liu Qingyun away. The two led Liu Qingyun down the street and turned into a small street on the left-hand side. Following the small street until they crossed Sidao Street, Zhao Qian and Mei Li led Liu Qingyun to the front of a house. Liu Qingyun saw that this was wider than the Qian family in Daoma Kiln. High gatehouse, on the plaque of the gatehouse, there are two big characters of Xufu. In front of the door there are two stone drums. On each side of the stone drum, there is a flower pond, which is filled with evergreen vegetation. The bluestone steps glowed. Next to it there is a stone for the upper horse and a stone for the lower horse, and a stake for tying the horse.
That's when Melly stepped forward and knocked on the knocker. After a while, the corner door opened. Out of the door came a family member in a green coat and a small hat. The family didn't even come out of the door, but just poked their necks and glanced at Merry: "Who should I be? It turns out to be you! Didn't you just come this morning? You also saw it, our lord, I really don't have time to deal with your business today." You'd better come back another day?" he said before closing.
Melly was in a hurry when he saw that he was closing. He didn't have time to say anything, and he shoved his foot into the door. The family didn't pay attention either, and squeezed Melly's foot in one fell swoop. The painful Melly snorted at the time: "Oops, my feet, my feet?" Melly's shout startled the family. He hurriedly opened the door: "Oh, oops, how did you get it? What are you doing with your feet? It's not good?"
Melly looked at him angrily: "It's okay, you can squeeze it and try it?" The family smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly made amends: "Okay, okay, I'm not right." I'm going to apologize, right? I won't say it? Our lord doesn't have time today, why are you still breaking in? Look at it, squeeze your feet, right?" he said and wanted to rub Merry's feet. Melly took two steps back: "Okay, it's not so serious, don't rub it." I'm not here for my business. I am leading the way for this Taoist chief, and this Taoist is here for the fact that people have died for no reason in Shuanglong Town in the past few days. As he spoke, Mei Li pointed at Liu Qingyun.
The family member looked in the direction of Merry's finger and saw a Taoist priest in his forties, less than fifty, standing at the bottom of the steps. This Taoist priest poked and stopped, it was really a fairy wind bone, and it was different. The family looked at Mei Li, and then at Liu Qingyun: "Mei Li, you are late." Master Feng has already invited the two Dao Masters, Jingtian and Jingxuan, to come, and the Master is now talking to the two Dao Masters? Look at this. ”
Melly took a deep breath: "Anyway, the Taoist is here, this is a hospitality. Moreover, the Taoist chief does not try to make a profit, but only to accumulate virtue and do good. If you go inside and say back, and the town management doesn't pick it up, then it's not your business. The family shook their heads helplessly: "Okay, then you just wait a while, I'll go and report the news,"
