Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Rats Eat Deflated
Shi Dong finished his hands and feet in the account book, left 10 spirit stones, said goodbye to Hao Ren, and hurriedly walked out.
Who knew that he ran into Zhang Mouse and rushed back with a scolding, his face was red with anger, and his mouth was scolding such as "Bastard, dare to frame Lao Tzu", "It's really inexplicable".
Shi Dong's heart tightened, and he quickly lowered his head, intending to flash past him, but the rat suddenly noticed Shi Dong, and the evil qi in his chest was not spreading, and he stretched out his hand to grab his neck, and said angrily: "Hey, I know you, you are the little guy in the gambling ghost shop, your name is ...... It's called a stone, isn't it? What are you sneaking around? Isn't it annoying to look like Lao Tzu?"
Boom!
The momentum of the ninth layer of qi refining suddenly let go, and the strong wind blew the stone body and swayed in the air, like a paper harrier.
Shi Dong's round face turned white, half out of nervousness, half out of anger, but in the eyes of Zhang Mouse, he thought Shi Dong was frightened.
He twisted his mustache twice, stared at the stone movement with small eyes like mung beans, and suddenly smiled proudly: "Boy, what are you afraid of? Quickly answer Lao Tzu's question! What do you see Lao Tzu sneaking around?"
Shi Dong's eyes rolled, and he said in his heart: "Calm, calm, this person's cultivation is the ninth layer of the Qi refining period, and he has always been rampant and domineering, I can't anger him." So he pretended to be very scared, and said tremblingly: "Go back...... Brother Huizhang, little brother is bad...... Bad stomach, hurry back...... Go back to the hut and ......."
As he spoke, he covered his stomach with both hands, and then used his true qi to urge, and suddenly there was a gurgling sound in his stomach, and it seemed that he couldn't hold it back at any time.
The rat's face showed disgust, and he threw the stone out with his hand, covered his nose with his hand, and said: "You stinky little ghost, how the hell do you cultivate, you can actually break your stomach? Get out! Get out! Don't bring bad luck to Lao Tzu!"
It turns out that since the cultivation of the monks of the Demon Demon Sect, every breakthrough can cut off the hair and marrow of the physical body, and gradually avoid all diseases, until after the foundation is built, they can even open the valley for a long time. With the progress of cultivation, after entering the Dan period, you can stop eating the fireworks in the world.
And such a common illness as stomach troubles should not appear in monks, that is, a small monk of the second level of Qi refining like Shi Dong, who has just cultivated for more than a year, and it is reasonable to make such an excuse.
Shi Dong wished he would let himself go, so he hurriedly gave up his hand, covered his stomach and ran away.
After running a distance of dozens of feet, he heard a terrible and angry howl from the gambling ghost shop: "Who is it? Which bastard stole Lao Tzu's ghost fetus? Who is it......?"
Shi Dong covered his mouth and stole fun, ran faster, and went straight to the meeting place agreed with Wang Baobao.
In the gambling ghost shop, Hao Ren squinted his eyes and held the account book to show the blue-faced Zhang Mouse, "This ghost fetus was just bought." ”
"Who—who bought it?" said the chapter rat through gritted teeth.
Hao Ren's swollen eyes flashed in the narrow gap, and he suddenly released the momentum of the foundation building period, pressing towards him like a boulder, and said unhurriedly: "Senior Brother Zhang, it's not your turn to shout here, I can't tell you who bought the ghost fetus, this is the rule." ”
Zhang Mouse's body trembled, his bones were clattering, his legs gradually weakened, and the difference between the cultivation of the foundation building period and the qi refining period was like a big river and a stream, although he was already a ninth layer of qi refining, he couldn't resist Hao Ren's coercion.
Sweat broke out on his forehead, his face changed, and then he calmed down, and only then did he realize that he had been calculated, from Shi Dong obstructing his renewal, to Wang Baobao and a few people picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and then to Hao Ren's intentional cover-up, it shows that this matter is not so simple.
Although he also has a backer behind him, but that backer is not in the sect at the moment, Hao Ren is a monk in the foundation building period, and his strength and status are higher than him, and he really can't do anything to Hao Ren without a backer.
Thinking of this, his fierce face retreated, put on a respectful appearance, and apologized to Hao Ren: "Seventh senior brother, I blame the younger brother for being reckless, please don't blame the senior brother." ”
"Hmm. Hao Ren put away the coercion, and Zhang Mouse was able to stand up straight, and when he saw Hao Ren's robe sleeves swinging, he said indifferently: "If there is nothing else, you can go down! ”
"Don't dare, don't dare. Zhang Mouse wiped the sweat from his forehead, hurriedly moved, and left backwards.
Out of the gambling ghost shop, his eyes flashed, he looked in the direction of Shi Dong's departure, and gritted his teeth and calculated: "This matter must be related to that little guy." Hmph, Hao Ren, I can't afford to provoke me, don't you dare to touch it?" A pair of mung bean eyes flickered, and a poisonous plan to kill people with a knife came to mind, and he couldn't help but sneer.
In the gambling ghost workshop, Hao Ren watched the mouse leave, his swollen eyes slowly narrowed, he lifted the pen, and gently crossed out the purchase record made by Shi Dong, and no one could find out that there was a ghost fetus that was bought here.
He smiled and said in his heart: "Shi Dong, Shi Dong, Senior Brother can only help you to this extent, and the rest is up to you." ”
......
Shi Dong trotted and rushed to the meeting place agreed with Wang Baobao, and as soon as he got there, he saw him leading his four brothers, who were smiling and talking about Fang Cai's affairs, as if he had played enough with Zhang Mouse.
Seeing Shi Dong coming, he patted Shi Dong on the shoulder with a smile and asked, "Brother, is things going well?"
Shi Dong wiped a handful of fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and said with a somewhat panicked expression: "I almost had an accident, when the little brother just came out, I happened to run into that mouse, grabbed the little brother and interrogated him, and finally found a chance to get out." Brother Wang, I think you have to watch out for him in the future, don't let him seek revenge. ”
"Hey, it's okay. Wang Baobao waved his hand disapplausively, "Zhang Mouse's backer is Du Yan, Hao Ren has always been at odds with Du Yan, I took someone to teach Zhang Mouse, Hao Ren is happy in his heart!" patted Shi Dong's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, this is called a fox and a fake tiger, haha!"
"Oh...... So that's the case......" Shi Dong muttered, and said in his heart: "His grandmother's, the relationship within this demon gate is really complicated! Not to mention the factions, each person has a small Jiujiu for each person, and he has his own plans." His grandmother's, he can't trust anyone too much in the future. ”
Quickly put on a smile on his face, and thanked Wang Baobao and the others again and again: "No matter what, the little brother still has to thank the brothers for their help, so that the little brother can buy the ghost fetus." Come and come, a little meaning, not a respect. ”
Shi Dong took out the spirit stones, and each person stuffed five in their hands.
"Hey, they're all doing things for their brothers! How can you accept your little brother's spirit stones?" a few people refused.
Shi Dong's face was full of joy, and he persuaded: "Brothers don't accept it, is it too little? This is just a little meaning, please drink tea for brothers." When the younger brother develops in the future, he will definitely not forget the great help of the elder brothers. ”
"Take it all! If you don't accept it, you won't give me face for this little brother. Wang Baobao spoke.
Only then did a few people accept the spirit stone, and they all nodded towards Shi Dong with a smile.
Shi Dong smiled secretly in his heart, this is the way of human relations, the relationship between people and people is usually maintained through interests and human feelings, so when you really want to use others, others are embarrassed to refuse.
This time, I asked Wang Baobao for help, and the reward of five spirit stones for one person is really not worth mentioning, but this represents my own attitude, showing that I am righteous and squandering money, and I am very righteous, so that I can win the favor of these people.
This is an intangible investment in human feelings.
"Brother, take a step to speak. Hao Ren beckoned to Shi Dong and walked away first.
Shi Dong followed, and saw Hao Ren looking at him with a smile, and asked, "Brother, what is so special about that ghost fetus that you will not hesitate to get your hands on?"
Shi Dong had already dealt with it, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, the younger brother's move is just to look at the domineering appearance of the Zhang Mouse, and give him a lesson." The ghost fetus just knocked open, and there was nothing unusual about it. Hehe...... Brother Wang, you think too much. ”
"Oh...... It turned out that I was thinking too much. Wang Baobao nodded and smiled noncommittally.
At this time, the two of them knew the situation, Shi Dong didn't want to say more, this was his secret, and Wang Baobao couldn't get to the bottom of it, after all, he still needed to entrap Shi Dong.
So he didn't mention it anymore, took out a big package from his arms and handed it to Shi Dong, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, brother, here are the few things you want, and my brother has helped you get them." The two horn hammer magic weapons are both medium-grade, and there is also Yin Gui, who can record sounds, and the information of the disciples of the upper and lower parts of Yunwu Peak. ”
Shi Dong opened the package and glanced at it, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Brother Wang, how do you think the remuneration should be calculated?"
Wang Baobao smiled, "The total value of the two horn hammers is 2,000 spirit stones, and the person I found asked for the refining tool to pay 1,000 spirit stones, and my brother helped you negotiate the price, and it was 800." I also help you as a guarantee, you don't have a hand of money and a handful of goods, you only need to hand over 800 spirit stones to me within three months. As for other things, they are trivial compared to these 800 spirit stones, and they can be regarded as adding to the brothers. ”
Shi Dong frowned, 800 spirit stones is not a small amount, although he is a little wealthy now, he is not a medium-grade magic weapon, or a mutated spirit ghost, and he has no cash in his hand!
Wang Baobao saw that Shi Dong was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "If it is 800 spirit stones in embarrassment, my brother can take the equivalent value of the spirit ghost as collateral!
Shi Dong's heart was shocked, he didn't expect that he was just betting on a mutated spirit ghost, which would cause concern in all directions, he sank his face and shook his head like a rattle, "Brother Wang, you don't need to say more, I won't sell that spirit ghost if I say anything." As you said, within three months, I will be able to make up 800 spirit stones. ”
"Well, if you have any problems, feel free to come to me. Brother Wang is just doing a business of slippery seams, and he can't force his brother into difficulties. It's just that the patron over there has a big background, and I don't dare to offend him. ”
"Thank you, Brother Wang, I know. ”
Wang Baobao sighed, as if he had something to persuade, but seeing Shi Dong's resolute look, he still didn't say anything, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, take care of yourself!" and turned to leave.
