"Master Lao, why don't you go to the Chunxiu Pavilion in the backyard today? You haven't patronized our store for a few days, and the shopkeeper said, is it because we are not attentive to the service, which makes your old man angry. At this time, a shopkeeper on the third floor came to pick him up and said flatteringly. Master Lao smiled, twisted his beard and said: "What's the matter, didn't you go to Tubo a few days ago, I'm half tired to death! I just came back yesterday, don't you think I'm coming to patronize you today?" After a pause, he said: "I won't go to Chunxiu Pavilion today, I want to have a good meal, there are many people there, and I can't stop if I want to, or there are few people here, so I can hide and be clean." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This is your old man's high morality, and the big guys love you and want to be close to you." A few days ago, Master Fan set up a banquet in the Qiuyin Palace, and everyone still said that there was less Master Lao and a lot less fun at this banquet, and the wine was tasteless. I'm still thinking about when you'll come back. When Mr. Lao heard his flattery, he laughed out loud, very pleasantly.

"Master Lao, when you dine here, the utensils and stuff are simple, not as simple as the backyard, you old man don't be too slow. Master Lao waved his hand and smiled: "You might as well, this place is just right, I am very satisfied." He gestured to the back: "Come on, give a reward." As he spoke, there was an entourage behind him, and he rewarded the shop with a small ingot of silver, and the little two were happy, thanked for the reward, and led the way in front of him.

In this restaurant, the guests are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and those with ordinary identities are usually arranged in the lobby on the first and second floors, and only those who are extraordinary are led up to the third floor, enter on the third floor, and are divided into several pavilions by screens. It can be used by guests who need to gather closely. In the backyard of the restaurant, several independent small villages were built. What Chunxiu Pavilion, Xia Nong Hall. In it, this is specially arranged for those rich guests, the luxury of the utensils is more exquisite than the front yard, the garden flowers and trees, the brocade beams, the waiters are more than the front yard, sitting on the third floor of the front hall, you can clearly hear the sound of the tooth board and bamboo behind the ear, as well as the woman's chuckle. These enjoyers are the children of some of the city's lavish families.

Hu Tan and Qin Su were arranged at a table in the middle of the room, and when Master Lao wanted to enter the private room, he had to pass by the two. Walking with a comfortable smile all the way, he walked to the table of his aunt and nephew, and saw that the two of them were also looking at him, but the old man looked the same, and he was full of smiles like everyone else, nodded his head, and wanted to pass.

Hu Tan passed by the porridge in the morning. I have a good impression of this much-praised old man Lao, and seeing that he looks kind, it doesn't look like he wants to reject people, so he has the heart to talk to him at the moment. Then he suddenly coughed. Grimacing, ready to speak.

Qin Su's face immediately changed greatly, and he suddenly felt that something big was going to be bad. She's experienced. Whenever this little bastard coughs and wants to pretend to be an adult, it is most likely a precursor to disaster coming to the door. Generally speaking. As long as this little thing takes the initiative to stir up trouble, things will often only go in two directions. One is that what was not there has become a bad thing, and the other is that a small thing that is not serious has become unstoppable. Just now, this little ghost still looked like he was unrelenting, how depressed and depressed he was, how decadent and decadent he was, as if he was going to hate and self-destruct as long as he couldn't take care of him, why did he relax his vigilance for a while, and he showed his original form with his teeth and claws exposed? ! She felt that her worries at night were a little redundant.

Unexpectedly, Hu Tan hadn't spoken yet, but Master Lao's side had a situation first. At the moment when he was about to walk past with a wrong step, he heard the sound of "Ah Qiu!" and the crisp sneeze of a six or seven-year-old girl suddenly came from his waist. The voice was not loud, but it was clearly audible. The two aunts and nephews were looking at him without blinking, and the old man walked in front alone, and the companions were three steps behind him, but there was no little girl beside him!

Both of them were stunned by the sudden noise.

"Ahh "What's the matter? do you like the smell of them?" he said to himself, and then after a moment's thought, he walked over, smiled and beckoned to the two, "Aha! This girl, and the little brother, but the eyes are very good-looking, and the two of them are outstanding, and they look extraordinary, but they don't look like the residents of this Yingchang Mansion. ”

Qin Su was secretly vigilant in his heart, and he was a little unclear about the intention of this old man Lao. It's just that in the morning, I heard that his people are not evil, and that he has been doing good deeds for several years, and he doesn't think like an enemy who came to embarrass her, and he doesn't want to be too mean to him at the moment, so he replied lightly: "Yes, we were just passing by, and we only arrived in the city yesterday." ”

At that moment, a diligent entourage came over and pulled out the chair, but Master Lao was not reserved, and sat down with a golden sword. Seeing that Qin Su and Hu Tan both frowned slightly, as if they were a little dissatisfied with his abrupt behavior, Master Lao coughed awkwardly, smiled apologetically, and then rolled his eyes, but beckoned to Xiao Er, and said loudly: "Xiao Er! The expenses of all the guests on the third floor today will go to my account! The little two was interested, and said with a smile: "Master Lao has broken the bill again!" glanced at Hu Tan and Qin Su's faces, and briefly guessed the identities of the two, and then spoke loudly: "Distinguished guests, Master Lao has spoken, he has all the expenses of everyone today, all the guests please enjoy the wine and dinner with peace of mind." At that time, the people who knew Master Lao at the table cheered again, and even praised Master Lao for his boldness. This movement is similar to the reaction on the first floor just now.

Waving his hand to disperse the people behind him and letting them sit elsewhere, Master Lao turned his face and spoke to Qin Su Hutan: "Ahh

Seeing that he apologized politely, but his face was not ashamed, and when he kept taking out things from his arms and putting them on the table, his eyes were still quickly sweeping over his and Hu Tan's faces, Qin Suyue felt that this feeling was familiar and abnormal.

Just wondering why she had such a familiar feeling, she suddenly realized: How many men of this age could there be among the old people she knew? This person was clearly like Brother Hu! She seemed to have such a scene in her memory. Brother Hu was humble and polite to others, but he secretly turned his mind quickly. Use means to try to plot a small evil. Although this old man Lao is very different from Brother Hu's body shape and appearance. However, this expression is extremely similar, especially the eyes that are extremely flexible, as if she has already thought of six or seven thoughts in a blink of an eye, no wonder she felt like she had met an old man when she first looked at her eyes just now.

A jade wrench, an agate carving, and an inch-high jade bottle. A brocade hand, a warm warm stone beads, a box of wooden letters, and a small embroidered bag the size of a fist, these are the things that Master Lao placed on the table. Qin Su and Hu Tan had doubts in their hearts, so they were silent, just waiting for Master Lao to explain.

"It's a long story, but where should we start with it?" said Master Lao, as if he was a little distressed. Scratching his head, he turned to the two of them and nodded, "That's it, although the matter is urgent, I don't want to delay your meal in vain, and I haven't eaten yet." Let's eat and talk, and I'll order a signature secret dish for you to eat, which is a landlord's friendship. ”

Qin Su heard about it. Say no now. The current identity of this old man Lao is still unknown to friend or foe, and she doesn't want to eat some secret dishes to catch his way. Who knew that before she could speak, Master Nalao had already observed her face. Seeing that she had the intention of refusing, he waved his hand to stop her from speaking, and said with a smile: Don't be busy refusing first, you must know that the dish I ordered is a dish that is not sold publicly. There are not many people who know, the ingredients are rare, the chefs are also rare, but you can't eat what you want outside, and you can't get any money. If it weren't for me, someone still had a few thin noodles in this store, I wouldn't have been able to buy this ingredient, and I wouldn't have asked this chef to do it himself. ”

Xiao Hu Tanden was aroused by great interest and asked, "What ingredients are so rare, is it delicious?"

When Master Lao saw him asking, he was very pleased, so he simply turned his face and spoke to the little boy, with a mysterious look, and said in a low voice: "I won't say if it's delicious or not......! Hey, you don't believe it, but since ancient times, the number of people who have eaten this dish does not add up to this number. He flexed the five fingers of his right hand, and then quickly retracted it under the table, as if he was afraid of being seen. "Everyone who can eat this thing is a person with great luck, you will understand if you say a person, Liu Bang, the Taizu of the Han Dynasty, everyone knows it, right? Before he made his career, he was just a market splash, do you know why he was able to rise to the top of the clouds step by step, from a street Lai Han to the supreme emperor who ruled the world?"

Hu Tan's eyes widened: "Is it because he has eaten this dish?"

Old Man Lao clapped his hands under the table and praised: "Clever! I guessed it! But that's not exactly it! It is said that when he was the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, he kept drinking and eating, and every day he searched for wine and food, and one day he picked up a foreign object by the river, and carried it home to cook and eat. Seeing Hu Tan's expression of disbelief, Master Lao hurriedly said: "Do you think that eating a dish will affect your luck, don't you believe it? I didn't believe it earlier! But there was an incident last year, Master Ma, the Xuanjie lieutenant in this city, was transferred to Beijing the next day and promoted to the deputy envoy of the six houses because he ate the first fresh of this dish.

Hu Tan blinked and closed his mouth. He didn't know what Xuanjie Lieutenant was, what the deputy envoy of the Six Houses, these official positions were like astronomical books to him. The wild insects couldn't understand the cow mooing, and when the left ear heard it, the right ear came out as it was. But these things that Master Lao said are too unbelievable.

Master Lao didn't care about him, and said to himself: "What I just said is a well-documented example, as for Liu Bang becoming the emperor because of eating this dish, it is a saying that has been circulated in the wild history, and we don't know if it's true or not." However, as the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, and who knows what's going on, and if there is no basis, people won't say it in vain. I've seen this ingredient, it's amazing! There is a miracle, and if it is placed in a dark place, it will put treasure light! If you say that something unusual will happen when you eat this thing, I don't know if others believe it or not, I believe it anyway, that thing itself is a rare occurrence in a thousand years, not to mention that people in ancient times have eaten it, even if it is a living thing or a dead thing, few people have seen it, this is a great good thing!"

Hu Tan's eyes lit up again when he heard this, and he asked, "What kind of good thing is that?! Is it really amazing? Could it be that you are talking about dragon meat?"

Master Lao smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not dragon meat." But when it comes to rarity, it's not far off. Good stuff!

Qin Su heard this. It's already suspicious. This old man Lao's current demeanor and expression are like a charlatan. Painting sound and shadow, the expression is exaggerated and rich, how can there be a little bit of a rich aristocratic appearance. Look at his good and seductive, and sell the guanzi and lead the conversation, provoking Hu Tan to fall into the middle step by step, full of hearts and minds are attracted by this secret dish, such means, but like a scheming market sitter more.

Could it be that this person is a fake, not the old man I heard about in the morning? But there are so many people to help him. This argument is also somewhat untenable, or...... They are all in a group? Join forces to set up a trap? Qin Su thought of the danger, and his willow eyebrows unconsciously stood up. Hu Tan's reaction also made the Jade Girl Peak disciple a little incomprehensible, this little ghost looked like he was completely attracted by Master Lao's words, but with Qin Su's understanding of him, this boy would only be higher than himself when it came to wisdom and treachery. It doesn't make sense that she is aware of strange places, and Hu Tan will not feel it.

She was suspicious here, and her expression became cold. Staring at Master Lao, he was a little stunned. Listening to Hu Tan and him talking lively, Lao Lao's tongue bloomed lotus, and he said that this secret dish was almost heaven and earth, and the taste was superb. In your life, if you haven't eaten this dish, it's a wasted life. I really didn't blink a blind eye until I died. The little boy was clearly hooked and salivated, and he was amazed. Then he slapped the table, and all he did was scream. Urge Xiao Er to go to the kitchen to supervise, and quickly serve the dishes for the guests to taste.

What is the intention of this old man Lao? It is really surprising that he can talk so freely and speculatively with a small child in such disregard of his identity. Qin Su felt a slight sarcasm in his heart, and was about to stab him coldly. I don't want to be over there, Master Lao seems to have been faintly aware, and peeked at her in the middle of the hot conversation, suddenly squeezed his palms, swept away the strange color on his face, and laughed: "Ahh

"It's a great dish, but it doesn't have that much Shinto. If you eat something, you can have a smooth ride, why are the big guys still working so hard? They are all looking for something to eat!" Hu Tan was stunned for a moment, there was a slight difference on his face, and Master Lao only said that he had an idea in his heart, and he was busy and explained: "But don't be disappointed, the dish I ordered is really not simple, and the selection of materials is also precious, it is a big golden turtle caught in the river the year before last, weighing eighty-four pounds, and red stripes have grown on the back armor." This shop regarded it as a treasure, and it was easy to sell meat, and spent a lot of money to hire a magician to help cast the ice in the summer, and it only sold for less than ten catties in two years. I invited the two of you to eat this dish, firstly, to thank you for the abrupt sin, and secondly, to express my sincerity, I want to ask for an answer to one thing, and I hope that you will give you advice at that time. He said and bowed his hand again and again.

This time, the tone changed from harmonious to Zhuang, and once again changed his image, Qin Su found that he was a little unsure of this person again. She didn't know if this old man Lao was really telling the truth, or if he was busy making amends after he noticed that his demeanor was wrong.

But Hu Tan over there ate it all. He let out an 'ah' sound, and glared at Master Lao dissatisfiedly: "I just said that it was so lively for a long time, it turned out that they were all lying to me!"

Old Man Lao grinned and said: "It's not all a lie, the golden turtle is rare, legend has it that this is a dragon species, a ...... with dragon blood" Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by someone, hooked his head to peek around, and saw that there was nothing unusual, and then said: "And such a big one! Have you ever seen it? Let me tell you the truth, this dish is worth three thousand eight hundred taels of silver. I have delivered a lot of silver, every penny of silver, no matter what the thing is, the price is not fake, and even if you take the silver and ask the store to make it, you will not be able to eat it, and this does not deceive you, their store wants to recognize people to sell it. ”

When they heard this, they immediately fell silent, and when they looked at each other, they were a little dizzy by the price. Three thousand eight hundred taels of silver for one dish! What a luxury this is! It is not so expensive to eat gold! Hu Tan remembered the few ingots in his arms, and he thought that he was quite rich before, but now he was embarrassed. Well, if let yourself pay the bills. After eating this dish, he and his aunt immediately returned to ancient times. The two aunts and nephews Shennong picked herbs every day and could only eat leaves for a living.

Master Lao saw that the two were suppressed. Apparently proud. said with a smile: "Let's eat and eat, no matter how good our appetite is, it's only three meals a day, and if you count supper, it's four meals." Whether the meal is good or bad, that's all. Since there is a limit to the amount of food, we can't neglect this pair of stomachs, right? We have to pay more attention to the quality and pick some good things to eat. Don't look at three thousand eight hundred taels of silver, which is a lot. But money is such a thing, if you don't bring it with you in life and don't take it with you in death, why keep it? Or spend it and use it out is the right way, as long as the things are good and the food is satisfied, it is not as expensive as it is. After speaking, Yiran picked up the small jade bottle on the table, pulled out the cork by herself, and put it under her nose to sniff. A look of intoxication. He didn't know what was in this bottle, it was unusually fragrant, and the two aunts and nephews vaguely smelled it across a table, and they both felt refreshed.

This old man is really going to enjoy it. Hu Tan said secretly in his heart. After watching him smell the incense bottle, he leaned limply on the chair as if his whole body had no bones, and he didn't sit reserved at all. Inevitably, my understanding of him has been revised a little more. Xiao Tong didn't want to say anything about his previous theology, and he had a huge net worth. He is a full man who doesn't know how hungry he is, and I don't know how many people outside just want to be full every day. Not to mention those who are starving and can't even get a meal a day, they really have nothing to say to such local tycoons.

Old Man Na Lao was elated, rested for a few breaths, and then continued to tell the story of the loser: "...... Three thousand eight hundred taels of silver is considered expensive in this Yingchang Mansion, but this is only a small place, there are few things, and there are not many good things. The dish I ate in the capital the year before last was terrifying, I ate one each with a guest from the south, including drinks, guess how much we spent in the end?"

Hu Tan didn't want to talk to him on this topic, and he didn't find embarrassment on his own. Before seeing this old man Lao, he still felt that he had a few ingots, that he was very rich and generous, and that he was very confident when he went out to eat and buy goods, but after listening to his big talk, he suddenly felt that he was extremely poor again, and he was not much different from the homeless people outside, so why bother to be so self-abusive! At that moment, he ignored his show-off, and asked: "Master Lao, just now I heard a strange noise on your body, like a child's voice, what is that?"

When Master Lao saw Hu Tan change the topic, he felt a little unfinished, smacking his lips, and seemed to be still reminiscing. Shaking his head for a while, he coughed, sat upright, and said, "What you said is what I want to ask you for." As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the bag on the table, shook it slightly, and when he landed, a childish grunt sounded, and it was the little girl he had heard earlier.

Hu Tan and Qin Su were both surprised, what is this? It actually makes a human voice, could it be to catch a little female ghost and seal it inside?

"This is Jing Qiao'er, I went to Tibet this time, and when I passed by Pibo City, I saw that their nobles were playing this, so I bought one. ”

"Jing Qiao'er, haven't you heard of it, is it a worm?" Hu Tan opened his round eyes and stared at the little trick, trying to see something from the appearance. With such a small tip, the contents are naturally not too big, except for some rare insects, Hu Tan really can't think of anything else that can be contained in it.

"It's a bug, it's not right. "Master Lao said, "She looks a bit like a bug, but this bug has a lot of weirdness, has hands and feet, and is born wearing flower clothes, not to mention, a single point, as long as she is closer to the fire, she will spontaneously combust, and she can't see the light, hey! Seeing the light will turn to ashes, I have a layer of fireproof cloth and a heavy veil here, otherwise I can open it for you to see, this is what I bought for 20,000 taels of silver, but I can't easily kill her." ”

When Hu Tan heard this, he had to dispel the idea of begging him to uncover the brocade cloth. He is a teenager in nature, and he has no resistance to these strange gadgets, and his curiosity rises, and he puts all his thoughts aside for a while, and guesses the contents of the bag with great interest.

"This is a child's voice, called Jing Qiao'er, and there is a soft girl's voice, which is a young woman's voice, which is good! The most expensive is Rou Meier, I stayed there for four days, I wanted to buy one, who knew that there was no sale in the market, and then I heard that a thousand households had, I came to visit, out of 60,000 taels of silver, the man said that he would not sell it if he died, so I had to buy this. Old Man Lao said, his tone was very regretful.

Hu Tan and Qin Su looked at each other again and were speechless. This kind of ruined life is really unimaginable to them. Buying a small plaything that can make a sound can easily cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. The money was used to give to the needy. I don't know how many lives can be saved. It's just that this old man has already calculated, and he has been giving alms in this mansion for many years. He is already much richer and kinder than others, and people's money is not blown by the wind. No one can put their beaks on how to spend their love.

That Jing Qiao'er was still cooing and talking, like a little girl with a broken mouth whispering, Master Lao gently buttoned the bag to the table, Jing Qiao'er suddenly quieted down, but this silence lasted for a moment, and then ushered in a round of outbursts, only to hear her scream. It was like being very angry, and then croaking, cooing, cooing, and protesting louder, sentence after sentence, words jumping around, spitting words crisp and clear, and the sound was coherent and frustrated. The tone was impassioned, although Qin Su and Hu Tan couldn't understand the meaning of the words at all, but the image of the angry little girl was like seeing people.

"Hahahaha, it's fun, isn't it? It's so much more fun than listening to some song. Master Lao saw Hu Tan's envy. Said triumphantly.

"Fun. Hu Tan said honestly.

"If that's the case, she's not worth 20,000 taels of silver," said Master Lao. glanced at Hu Tan, and there was a deep meaning in his expression. "This thing grows in a weird place, so it has some strange temperaments. I heard from the seller that Jing Qiao'er could smell some special objects, and when she did, she would be very happy and let out a sneeze sound. I asked him what those special objects were, but he wouldn't tell me. After speaking, he looked at Hu Tan expectantly, and then looked at Qin Su.

Hu Tan and Qin Su understood a little now. The two of them heard the sneeze just now, and it happened to come from it when they passed by their table, and the meaning of this old man's words was that the two of them had the special object he said in his mouth.

The color on their faces changed slightly, and at the same time, they thought of the Linglong Zhen Evil Nail hidden in Xiao Tong's arms. This old man Lao did not hesitate to fold his identity and rushed over to set a close, and he had a hot fight with the child, and invited him to eat secret dishes, if he didn't have any plans, his aunt and nephew would not believe it. He made up such a set of words, could it be that he wanted to hit this nail?

Qin Su had already shown a slight anger on his pretty face, and he was secretly gathering spiritual breath, staring at Master Lao with his eyes, just waiting to see that something was wrong and he was about to burst out. Hu Tan seemed calmer, he had talked with Master Lao for a long time, but he had some other opinions about this person. He felt that although Master Lao had a lively temperament and seemed to be hiding a belly of tricks, he didn't seem to be coming with malice at the moment.

The child's experience of selling medicine and talismans in the early two years is the most experienced. At that time, what he most often did was to figure out and estimate people's hearts, and he was confident that he would not make much mistake in looking at people. At the moment, he ignored the hint in Master Lao's words, but asked first: "Master Lao, I heard just now that you have just returned from Tibet, can you tell me about the itinerary of this road? I haven't traveled to the west yet, and if I want to go to Tibet next time, I won't be able to find the way." ”

Master Lao was puzzled, and said strangely: "What are you going to do in Tubo? The land over there is vast and there are few people, but it is not as lively as the Central Plains." I'm almost sick in Pibo City, and it's still the most prosperous town within a radius of a thousand miles! I don't have anything to eat, I don't have a place to listen to my songs! Don't listen to their loud shouts of thousands of households, the houses they live in are either leather tents or adobe houses, and when you sleep at night, fleas can fill your bed, and there is a smell of sheep everywhere, and you will suffer from them. ”

Hu Tan said: "Then you don't care, I always have a reason to go, but the road is not familiar, you tell me how to arrange the itinerary." ”

Master Lao thought for a while and said: "If you start from here, all the way to the west, you have to pass through Henan Mansion first, and then take Jingzhao Mansion, but there are two routes to go here, one is to go north to Fengxiang Mansion and Weizhou, and exit from Xining Prefecture." There were scattered herdsmen on their side, who could buy food and goat's milk, and usually merchants who were going to Western Xia and Hui took this route. There is also a way to go to the southwest, go to Xingyuan Mansion, from Chengdu Mansion out of the customs, here is also deserted, only sporadic herdsmen, to walk thousands of miles to see the town. ”

Hu Tan asked, "Where did you come back?"

Master Lao said: "What are I doing when I came back from Xingyuan Mansion?"

"You didn't pass through Lund House?"

Master Lao had an inexplicable expression: "Longde Mansion is in the north, and Tubo is in the west, why should I go back from there from a long distance? I'm not going to Western Xia or Khitan." He looked at Xiao Tong suspiciously, his eyes rolling, obviously speculating about the reason for Hu Tan's question. Hu Tan looked at his expression carefully. Seeing that he really looked confused and vigilant, it didn't seem to be a fake. I put my mind at ease at the moment.

This old man Lao is not an enemy who rushed over from Lund Mansion.

Since he is not a Jianghu guest who knows that he is causing trouble in Zhaojiazhuang, he can take measures calmly. Hu Tan smiled. He picked up the conversation again and said, "Can this little worm really sniff out anything about me? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Master Lao was in high spirits, but he didn't expect Hu Tan to talk about this topic again after going around in a circle, this is his purpose. But she doesn't sneeze on ordinary things, so I'm very curious, what is there on you that she likes, I just took the liberty to come and disturb me, just to ask for an answer, to see and see. Alas, that should be killed seller. Dead or alive refused to give me a solution, and I was sulking for a long time. ”

Hu Tan nodded and said, "Okay, in fact, it makes sense for me to ask you if you have been to Longde Mansion just now." ”

"What's the reason?" asked Mr. Law.

"I've caused some trouble over there in Lund Mansion because of this. Hu Tan said, reached out and took out a few fiery talismans from his arms, and handed them over, "If there is anything strange about me, it is it." I think that's what you smell about it. ”

Sending a few fiery talismans to Master Lao was an idea that Xiao Tong had before. This old man Lao is kind and charitable, and he is very popular with the poor, and Hu Tan still has a good impression of him. He just wanted to talk to Master Lao. It's that if you have this plan, you can't get anything else, so it's the same talisman. can help him recover from a few illnesses, which can be regarded as his act of admiring good people.

Master Lao took the talisman with doubts. He asked, "What kind of spell is this?"

"Fixing runes. Hu Tan said with a smile, "It's better than the healing talisman sold outside." If you have a minor illness or disaster, eat a charm and keep you for an hour. ”

Master Lao didn't speak again, closed his eyes and rubbed the rune paper, the expression on his face was suspicious at first, but after a while, he suddenly showed shock, he opened his eyes and glanced at Hu Tan, the joy on his face flashed, and then it seemed to remember something, but it turned into a sudden expression.

"It seems to be a little useful, I can feel a different atmosphere. Master Lao said, honestly and unceremoniously put all the charms into his arms, "If you still have it in your hand, how about giving me a few more?" He looked at Hu Tan with burning eyes, although he tried to make an understatement, but his pupils dilated several times in a short period of time, and his eyelashes trembled rapidly, but he completely betrayed his true thoughts. What kind of person is Hu Tan, and how can he not see the eagerness in his heart?

"I didn't expect this old man to know the goods. Hu Tan secretly said in his heart, he didn't have to worry too much at the moment, anyway, he could draw more than 20 pieces of this spell a day, and it didn't matter if he gave it all to people. So he left only two in his arms for spare, and the remaining dozen or so were all given away. This good deed of this old man for several years is also worthy of these rewards.

Master Lao didn't expect it to be so easy, he was overjoyed, stood up straight, and took it with both hands.

After cherishing and hiding the charm close to his body, seeing Hu Tan's indifferent expression, Master Lao couldn't help but feel a little strange, and asked: "This charm is effective, I can feel it, you spent so much effort to draw so many and give it to me, don't you feel distressed?"

Hu Tan smiled: "What's so distressing, I can draw twenty pieces of this spell a day, and it doesn't take much effort." ”

Old Man Lao had a strange look on his face, as if he had heard some strange story. In a blink of an eye, he suddenly laughed: "Don't worry about it? Don't lie to me! A charm is a thing that condenses essence, and if the person who draws the charm is not careful, the charm will have no effect." What's more, the medical charm is different from other spells, it is the most hurtful to cultivate, your charm clearly has abundant aura fluctuations, this is the best charm, I don't believe that there is no effect when you draw the talisman. ”

Hu Tan scratched his head and said suspiciously: "It seems that there is really no special feeling." ”

Now Master Lao couldn't figure it out, he looked at Hu Tan in surprise, and saw that Xiao Tong really didn't look like he was lying, so he frowned, and thought for a while, but he finally couldn't understand: "No! Especially when it comes to medical injuries and longevity, if there is a benefit here, then there must be a loss elsewhere, which is the principle of heaven and earth. It is impossible to have one more thing or one thing less for some reason, then it will be messy, no! no!" he looked at Hu Tan: "You think about it carefully, should it be somewhere else." ”

Hu Tan shook his head. He had this question before, according to the record in the "Da Yuan Lian Zhenjing" to draw a charm, like what kind of wind blade charm, group fire charm, he can't draw a few will feel dizzy, but this fixed talisman, how to draw how to feel at ease, flowing water in general, and the effect is surprisingly good. He used to say that because he was so talented, he was suitable for drawing the Divine Talisman.

Seeing that Hu Tan couldn't come up with a reason, Old Man Lao muttered: "It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense! This is impossible." Pulling at his beard, he pondered slightly. After a long while, he spoke to Hu Tan again: "If you are telling the truth, then your matter is a little strange." I think there must be a reason that we don't understand, but it must exist. When this charm of yours is validated, there must be a loss, but I don't know where. Anyway, it's not on you, it's on others, I suggest that you be cautious when giving talismans to people in the future, treat injuries and save lives, it's the most heavenly rule, and you don't have the slightest confusion. Treating people with medicinal herbs still consumes years to hundreds of years of growth of medicinal materials, not to mention using spells to save people. If the patient has a gain, then the doctor will have a loss, think about those who learn witch blessings to understand, if you want to save the injured and sick in vain, you will hurt the soul without losing your vitality. Don't give too much and regret it later. ”

That's a kind reminder. Qin Su and Hu Tan finally settled on his identity as friends and not enemies. (To be continued......)
