Chapter 13: The Black Leather Trail
"Ugly girl, it's time for breakfast, hurry up and brush your teeth. โ
The ugly girl, oh no, the little girl who should be called the ugly girl now responded with a 'woo' sentence, took out the willow branch that had been separated from her mouth, and took the water 'woo lu woo lu', and then her eyes rolled, and she swallowed it in one go, she didn't understand why she had to take a branch and mess it in her mouth every morning, but she was very obedient, and she did whatever the Taoist priest said.
ran over, and saw Daoist Li take out two large cakes, his eyes lit up, his small mouth came over, and he bit down unceremoniously, "You eat slowly, don't swallow Daoye's share of mine, otherwise I will beat you!"
Daoist Li looked at her with a headache and swallowed a big baked cake into his stomach in two mouthfuls, and with an unfinished expression, he couldn't stand it, this guy was good at everything except his appearance, he just transformed when he saw what he ate, and he couldn't stop it, if he continued like this, the underwear would be gone, no, he would not wear underwear for a long time.
"Alright, let's go!" said Daoist Li angrily.
The ugly lady obediently covered her head and face with a green cloth, the Taoist priest said, she is too beautiful, easy to be remembered, although I don't know what the word 'beautiful' means, but in the bottom of her heart she likes it very much, carrying the backpack almost as high as herself, trotting behind the Taoist priest, step by step, she likes to imitate his behavior recently, no matter what kind of action.
Daoist Li glanced at the other party, it is quite good to have such a humanoid luggage rack, I don't know if it is because of the demon bloodline, this guy's strength is greater than him, and he just stays to do rough work, in a sense, it is still quite cost-effective to just manage the rice.
However, the Taoist priest secretly calculated, according to the current lowest consumption level, he has six Wen a day, the ugly girl has six Wen a day, that is, twelve Wen, and a month is three hundred and sixty Wen, plus seven seven eighty-eight daily necessities, and recently bought a set of clothes for this little girl, of course, it is second-hand goods, at least half a month; according to his current speed of taking on work, two or three times a month, each time is only one hundred Wen, it seems that the income is not enough, if it is not for the guy who just received a fortune teller, this month will not be able to last.
"God, don't force me, otherwise I will do anything!"
"Eun," the ugly lady nodded casually, this was the second word she had learned after the word 'meat'.
Originally, the two of them also planned to go to Xiangcheng for a walk, how to say that it was also the ancient version of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but after inquiring, the bridge toll and the city gate fee added up to more than 30 Wen, and immediately dispelled this idea;
At noon, the two rested in the tea shed near the official road, and the people sitting next to them were some small traders, or farmers who came from the countryside and were ready to go into the city to sell fruits and vegetables, one of them spoke: "From the official road to Pingchuan County, there are still fifty miles of road, and the city gate is closed. โ
"Master Qian, there is no way to do it, unless you take the black leather path, but you don't know that there are strange things going on there. โ
These words attracted the attention of Daoist Li, he turned his head to look, this Qian Ye is a rich man, dressed in silk, the gold necklace around his neck is shining, next to him are standing three or four dart masters with simple knives and sticks, two big horse carts outside, and the things inside are nailed with boxes, but occasionally you can smell some blood, it should be bearskin and fox skin and something like that; and next to the fat rich man, there is a thief with a rat eye, well, it should be a character like Mr. Bookkeeper; In this tea shed, they have a big piece of land, and the people around them are far away, and it seems that the other party is not easy to mess withใ
"Why are these birds happening?" complained the rich man, flashing his fan.
"If there is a problem, find me a Taoist priest," Daoist Li's eyes lit up, his mouth raised, and he suddenly realized that big business was coming.
"Your Excellency?" only then did the rich man notice that the young man on the other side seemed to be dressed as a Taoist priest, Taoist priest?
"Xiaodao is the eighth generation of Qingcheng heir Li Changsheng is also, the best skill is to control the ghosts and gods, the demon summoning spirits, dealing with countless ghosts and demons, the fame in Sichuan is quite large, now parade the world, to eliminate the demon as their own responsibility, just heard that you have some difficulties, the ancients, the morality, is the Taoist priest the most righteous, see the injustice, Taoist I naturally want to help. โ
"Little Taoist, do you have the ability to do this?" Mr. Bookkeeper looked at the other party, dressed in a tinkered robe, less than double ten years old, and with a smooth tone, except for a good face, it seemed to be useless.
"That's necessary," Daoist Li immediately took out a piece of yellow paper, painted a demon talisman, in the eyes of everyone, rubbed his hands, a green flame came out, everyone 'wow' a scream, some timid, directly sat on the ground, the ancients for the unknown is much less receptive to modern people, especially related to immortals, Buddhas and demons.
The corners of the Taoist priest's mouth were slightly raised, and with a wave of his robe, the flame slowly flew out and landed on a water surface, but it was not extinguished, but slowly flowed with the water waves, like a green lotus.
"Immortals!"
"The reincarnation of immortals!"
"Thisโit's a spellโ"
The rich man and the bookkeeper glanced at each other, their expressions changed, but they didn't expect that this poor and sour guy still had some Taoism, the rich man hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "Contemptible people have eyes and no beads, I didn't expect the Taoist chief to know spells, please sit, please sit." โ
Several dart masters hurriedly moved a bench and squeezed out a seat for him to sit down.
"Daoist seems to be very hot?" Seeing that the beads of sweat on Daoist Li's forehead were dripping, the bookkeeper couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, I just used a little spell, and the yang fire is rising," Daoist Li said expressionlessly, and in the cuffs he covered, two blisters grew out at a speed visible to the naked eye, "Your mother, I've scalded Daoist Master to death!"
"Does the Taoist know where we're going? โ
"Don't worry, in the eyes of the trail, it's nothing more than the terrain such as ghosts hitting the wall, demons covering the fog, and lonely mountains, and I can't deal with Taoist priests more than a hundred times," Li Daoist is confident, at this time, he can't be empty, he must stand up, even if he has never touched it once, but anyone has the first time, just practice, this is called marketing, understand?
The rich man finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It turns out that the Taoist chief has been prepared for a long time, so let's set off immediately, it will be too late when it gets dark." โ
"Alas," Daoist Li pretended to sigh, his eyes showing sadness: "There is something unspeakable down there." โ
"Oh, is there anything the Taoist can't solve?" said the bookkeeper.
"Ugly girl, you come over to me, I can't hide it, in an operation to eradicate the old demon of Montenegro, my righteous sister was highly poisoned, and her face was ruined," After speaking, he lifted the face towel, and the ghost-level frightened few people were pale and creepy, "Now I have to rely on medicine stones to cure the disease, but I have no long body as a Taoist, I am really ashamed of the righteous father and mother who raised me!"
"Don't be polite, the Taoist must be polite, the contemptible people who can help must help, and besides, it is to save people's lives, the Taoist chief said, how much silver do you want?"
"Alas, people outside the square talk about money, it's really ashamed of the Sanqing patriarch, but there is really no way, as the old saying goes, talking about money hurts feelings, talking about feelings hurts money, well, this number," Li Daoshi first stretched out five fingers, hesitated, and stretched out five fingers.
"Ten dollars?"
"No, ten taels - gold. โ
