"A stick of incense actually costs a star pill, are you trying to steal the money?"
"Please rest assured, layman, that we are all serious Taoist priests and will never engage in evil deeds. Layman, one stick of incense and one star pill, three sticks of incense only cost two pills, do you want to buy it?"
"Fuck your mother, are you a devil?"
"Bushi, I am a Taoist priest, a serious person."
…
"It costs money to burn incense, money to visit, money to stay in, and money to do everything. Are your Taoists so poor that you are crazy?"
"Businessman, we all clearly mark our prices, we are all fair and square, and we are free to buy and sell. You can choose not to do so. Please do not make personal attacks."
"Why, you are so thick-skinned, are you still afraid of others telling you?"
"Father, if you want face and skin, would you like to stay here tonight? Three star pills for one night, five for two nights."
"Dry!"
…
Wuliang Mountain was bustling with activity, but it was mostly the roars of cultivators coming down from the mountain.
It was only when they came to the mountain that they realized they had been deceived.
This also requires money, and that also requires money. Without money, it is difficult to move forward.
But no matter how they protested and roared, the Taoist priests were very calm, reasoning calmly while not forgetting to sell their products, which almost drove these people crazy.
And they didn't dare to get angry, because they heard that those who dared to get angry were arrested and sent to the toilet.
Zhang Xiaozu climbed to the top of the peak and saw such a noisy and chaotic scene. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in shock. He and Ye Mingyue had guessed everything.
…
"Don't buy anything, let's boycott them together so that they can't make any money!"
"Yes, boycott them!"
Someone stood up and raised their arms and shouted, and immediately received a fierce response from all the practitioners.
Apparently it was the Taoists who fell into the eyes of Qian who caused public outrage.
Nearly a thousand cultivators surrounded the gate of Lingguan Hall and confronted the Taoists who were caught off guard.
In fact, a few Star Pills are nothing to most of them, they are just angry at being slaughtered like fools.
At the same time, it is also suppressing the momentum of Daomen.
Among these people are many people from Liujiabao, Qijiacheng and other forces. They are deliberately guiding the direction of public opinion and want to suppress the arrogance of Daomen so that they can take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.
"Give way, give way..."
Zhang Xiaozu led Ye Mingyue to push through the crowd and arrived in front of the main hall of Lingguan Hall.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Xiaozu and Ye Mingyue, thinking that they were going to have a verbal battle with the Taoist people. However, they saw Zhang Xiaozu politely saluted the Taoist people and said: "Master Taoist,
Please bring me two sticks of incense."
The Taoists who were waiting at the ready immediately smiled happily when they heard the words, politely offered two sticks of incense, and said: "Young layman, may the ancient gods bless you and your wife. Two stars.
Chen Dan, thank you."
The cultivators who were confronting the Taoists all looked at Zhang Xiaopeng coldly, thinking that they had just united the front, and a troublemaker appeared immediately. It was like a mouse droppings ruined the pot of porridge.
"Young people, you can't compromise with them. This is not a question of money, it's a question of IQ and dignity. Don't be a fool who gets ripped off."
"Boy, are you here to cause trouble?"
"Do you dare to sign up for your sect?"
Immediately, some people advised Zhang Xiaopeng, and some had a bad temper and directly threatened him with words.
Zhang Xiaozu pretended not to hear and ignored it. He took out two star pills and handed them to the Taoist.
"Boy, are you deaf? Can't you hear what we say?"
"court death!"
Someone took action directly and grabbed Zhang Xiaopou's collar from behind.
Zhang Xiaopou was about to take action when he saw the Taoist who handed him the incense took a step forward and came to his right side, holding a stick in his hand at the same time.
The incense pierced the grasping hand.
The sharp friction between the front end of the incense and the air produced a high temperature, which instantly lit the incense, and then it stabbed into the palm of the attacker with a pop.
laugh!
The burning incense stick burned into the flesh of the palm, and a plume of white smoke immediately appeared.
"ah--!"
The man screamed in pain and retreated in shock and fear.
He never expected that a mere incense seller would use a piece of incense to pierce the protective defense of his star-catching realm, and if the other party had not been merciful, his palm would have been pierced.
The sudden exchange of words caused those in the front row to retreat in shock.
The Taoist glanced at the audience with a smile on his face and said: "Pindao has said before that the prices are clearly marked, no one is deceived, and there is freedom of buying and selling. You are free not to buy, and we will not buy or sell by force, but you did not stop it.
It is not a good idea to break the rules regarding the rights purchased by other lay people. I hope you understand."
Zhang Xiaozu turned to look at the attacker and said coldly: "You have to thank this Taoist for saving your dog's paw, because if I had taken action, your hands and arms would no longer be on you."
The man glared at Zhang Xiaozu and wanted to say a few harsh words to protect his face, but Zhang Xiaozu narrowed his eyes and made him tremble involuntarily. He was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back and he hung his head in a hurry.
Zhang Xiaozu did not stay any longer and led Ye Mingyue into the main hall.
The statue enshrined in the main hall turned out not to be Daozu, the founder of the sect, but an old man with a square face wearing a feathered coat.
On each side of the main hall are six statues of gods that Zhang Xiaopeng cannot name.
Zhang Xiaozhu guessed that these statues should be the ancient gods mentioned by Taoists.
He and Ye Mingyue burned incense and then knelt down respectfully.
The Taoist who was waiting aside saw the two men standing up after bowing. He immediately came forward with a smile on his face and said, "Two laymen, it will take more than half an hour."
The sun has set. It's too late to go down now. Why not stay overnight in the mountain? My great uncle might go back to the mountain early tomorrow morning. One room only costs three Star Pills. If you stay longer, there will be discounts.
."
"Your little master's uncle is standing in front of you." Zhang Xiaozu said with a smile in his heart.
When the Taoist saw that Zhang Xiaopou was silent, he continued to promote: "Do you want to visit the cave of Taoist Patriarch? You only need ten Baiwu Pills to visit for a whole day."
Zhang Xiaozhu asked: "When I came up here, I heard a Taoist master say that I could play chess with him. I wonder if it's true?"
"Yes, it's true." The Taoist nodded immediately, "You only need ten Holy King Pills to play a game of chess with my uncle. This opportunity is rare and must not be missed."
"I would like to discuss chess skills with you. I wonder if you have time now?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked.
"Yes, yes, there must be. Layman, please come with me." The Taoist nodded hurriedly.
He led Zhang Xiaopou and Ye Mingyue out of the main hall, flew to Yunmiao Peak in the north, and then landed in front of the cave door of the uncle Qingqu, shouting loudly
Shouted: "Uncle, we have a guest."
Zhang Xiaozhu almost couldn't help laughing when he heard this, because he heard the Taoist shouting: "Uncle, we are accepting guests."
"Get out!" Qingqu's shouts and curses immediately resounded in the cave, shouting: "The price has gone up. Twenty Holy King Pills are a game of chess. If it works, get out of here."
"This -" The Taoist was too frightened to refute and looked at Zhang Xiaopou with a troubled expression.
Zhang Xiaozu nodded and said with a smile: "No problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone door of the cave opened with a roar.
"Come in and let me see which landlord's stupid son is so rich," Qingqu shouted.
"..." Zhang Xiaozhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself that no one would treat a customer who brought money to his door like this, and he was not afraid that the customer would leave angrily after hearing this. Then he would lose twenty Holy King Pills in vain.
Boom!
Zhang Xiaozu and Ye Mingyue walked into the cave, and the stone door closed with a bang.
Zhang Xiaozu could see the entire layout of the cave at a glance, because there was nothing in the cave. It was more appropriate to call it an empty stone cave than a cave.
He immediately understood why he only had to pay a small fee to visit Taozu, the first and second master's caves for a whole day. It must be because there were no hairs in the caves.
It is impossible to imagine how a person would feel when he happily paid ten Baiwu Pills and then walked into Taozu's cave and saw this scene of bare walls.
Zhang Xiaozu suddenly felt that the people on Wuliang Mountain who were scolding their fathers and mothers deserved sympathy.
After staring at the empty cave for a moment, he hurriedly stepped forward, saluted Qingqu respectfully, and said, "Junior brother Zhang Dayong, please see your senior brother."
He said it through a message, fearing that someone might overhear it.
