As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others.
It was the first time that Zhang Fan and Fang Yan met Li Kui's master, the middle-aged man. There were some things that they did not need to show to the middle-aged man.
"You two, please come in..." Then, the middle-aged men, Zhang Fan and Fang Yan, made an invitation gesture.
Zhang Fan and Fang Yan looked at the middle-aged man with a kind smile and nodded.
The decoration in the middle-aged man's living room is very luxurious, giving people the feeling of entering a palace and being magnificent. It is not difficult to see that the middle-aged man's economic conditions are very good!
After the middle-aged man and Li Kui whispered a few words in the distance, they saw Li Kui going upstairs. The middle-aged man took two bottles of water and took Zhang Fan to the sofa and sat down.
"Senior, you should know about the wooden fish that was invited from Dafeng Temple in Gulai Village, right?" Zhang Fan said straight to the point. He didn't want to waste too much time here.
This middle-aged man is not as good as Zhang Fan and is in the second stage of the second realm. Zhang Fan calls the middle-aged man "senior" as a sign of respect for the middle-aged man.
"Of course I know. If it weren't for that wooden fish, I'm afraid a few lives would have been lost in Gulai Village." The middle-aged man laughed.
"Senior, how much do you know about the wooden fish?" Zhang Fan continued to ask.
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, the middle-aged man's eyes flickered slightly, and then he replied: "I only know that the surface of this wooden fish will release evil spirit, and I don't know why this wooden fish has the function of protecting the safety of the villagers.
.”
Hearing this, Zhang Fan and Fang Yan looked at each other. Fang Yan leaned close to Zhang Fan and whispered in his ear: "It seems that our visit today was in vain."
There was also a hint of disappointment on Zhang Fan's face. They thought they could find out something from the man in the middle.
"Senior, we came here today just to ask you about the wooden fish. Since you don't know, we won't bother you." Zhang Fan said happily, and then stood up. Fang Yan also tensed up.
He followed Zhang Fan and stood up.
Just when the middle-aged man was about to stand up, Zhang Fan pressed his hand to the middle-aged man and said: "Senior, please stay."
After saying that, Zhang Fan took Fang Yan and walked outside.
As soon as Zhang Fan finished speaking, the middle-aged man quickly stood up and said, "Two masters, don't worry. Although I don't know the situation about the wooden fish, my friend may be able to see some clues.
I heard from my apprentice that you brought the wooden fish over, how about you hand the wooden fish over to me first and then I go to my friend and let him take a look?"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Zhang Fan and Fang Yan paused slightly and turned their heads to look at the middle-aged man. When they saw the middle-aged man's eyes, they were full of expectation.
"Your friend?" Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows, "Is he very moral?"
Zhang Fan, Fang Yan, and the middle-aged man did not see the situation of the wooden fish. Only the middle-aged man's friend with a stronger Taoism could possibly see the situation of the wooden fish.
"Of course it's very strong!" the middle-aged man replied without thinking.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Zhang Fan and Fang Yan both frowned, and then Fang Yan asked: "Since your friend is so powerful,
Qiang, then why didn’t you take him to get rid of the evil spirit in Gulai Village before?”
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man's expression froze slightly.
"Maybe the senior doesn't want to trouble his friend and wants to use his efforts to get rid of the evil spirit." Zhang Fan added, "Or maybe the senior has something to hide."
Hearing such words, Fang Yan glanced at Zhang Fan subconsciously. At the same time, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. It was obvious that Zhang Fan was trying to save the middle-aged man. He didn't understand why Zhang Fan wanted to
To save middle-aged men.
Seeing Zhang Fan helping him out, the middle-aged man nodded repeatedly and quickly said: "Yes! I just don't want to trouble my friend. I want to get rid of the evil spirit with my own efforts."
"Since you have a powerful friend, we won't leave. If there is a chance, let him help.
However, this wooden fish is not in my hands now. I stored it in a secret place in Gulai Village and have not taken it over." Zhang Fan said.
"Didn't you bring it over?" A trace of doubt appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes, and then he said with some reluctance, "But I heard from my apprentice that you brought the wooden fish over?"
"The wooden fish in Gulai Village is indeed in our hands. Your disciple subconsciously thought that we had it with us, but in fact we did not take it." Zhang Fan continued to explain. Li Kui did not see where Zhang Fan put the wooden fish, let alone
After rummaging through Zhang Fan's box, he had no idea whether Zhang Fan had brought the wooden fish over.
"If you don't believe it, you can go and look in our car. All our things are in the car." Zhang Fan looked as if nothing had happened.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed dryly and replied: "No, no, I don't believe it."
"Senior, I feel quite confident in this friend of yours, so I won't leave. After I get the wooden fish, I will ask your friend to help me take a look." Zhang Fan continued.
"Okay! Okay!" The middle-aged man said two good words in a row, and then asked, "Then when are you going to get it?"
"We didn't get a good rest last night. A lot of things happened today. We are really tired now. Let's find a place to rest first. We want to pick it up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Zhang Fan replied.
"Our Hengcheng is not far from Gulai Village. If you are tired, I can ask my apprentice to get it. Just tell him the place where the wooden fish is kept." The middle-aged man quickly added.
"We'd better go in person, I'm afraid Li Kui won't be able to find him," Zhang Fan said.
The middle-aged man glanced at Zhang Fan, hesitated for a moment, and said: "After all, you hid this thing. There is indeed a possibility that I can't find it in Li Kui, so you can go there whenever you have time?"
By the way, my friend seems to be going out the day after tomorrow, so I suggest you bring it back tomorrow and hand the thing over to him as soon as possible so that he can take a look at it as soon as possible."
Zhang Fan glanced at the middle-aged man, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that this middle-aged man was urging him in a different way. He was very anxious!
"Okay! Let's go back and get it as soon as possible. Then we won't disturb you and go find a place to rest outside." Zhang Fan said.
"Why don't you just rest here? I have a lot of rooms here, and I can usually accommodate you all by myself." The middle-aged man persuaded.
