The crane was loud and clear in the sky, penetrating the clouds.
Liu Qiao sat on the back of a crane with his eyes slightly closed, while Chang Long stood aside bored.
"Master, that house cost us ten kilograms of gold cakes and two pieces of jade. It's such an important property. Why did we just leave so soon..." Chang Long said with some pity.
He has lived for seven hundred years, living on mountain rocks and drinking from streams and springs. He has never lived in such a mansion. It is so splendid, with jade lamps and colored glazes, sandalwood tables and painted screens, all of which are rare and rare in the mountains.
Hearing this, Liu Qiao opened his eyes slightly, glanced at him and said, "Why, after picking up some money to spend, you already know the beauty of this worldly treasure?"
"Harm, that's not true. Money and silk for mere mortals are so strange. I think everything I looked at in the past was eaten directly into my belly..." Chang Long smiled proudly, but his voice became quieter as he spoke.
But it was Liu Qiao's gaze that sent chills down his spine, and he snorted, "Huh?"
Chang Long quickly changed his words: "I thought how ignorant I was before. Fortunately, I followed the master and saw the vastness of the world and the wonders of the immortal way..."
Seeing his appearance, Liu Qiao was speechless and said: "You know how much money you have left after you swallowed it. The little you spend is just a drop in your bucket."
"Um? What did Master say? I used to be a demon, so I don't know how much money in the world is used for. That's all. It was all picked up by burning down the cottage." Chang Long quickly explained by spreading his pockets.
"Really... From now on, those shiny pearls and jades, the shiny shells, and the dazzling glass mirrors will all be mine..."
"Ah...this...how does master know..."
Chang Long looked embarrassed and begged with a face full of pain: "Master, take it if you want it. I just hope that it is not easy for me to save it over the years and leave some for me..."
Seeing the pain in his body, Liu Qiao couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahaha... I'm just kidding you. A member of our generation is going to cross Qingluan and ride on the wings of clouds. What do you want..."
"I'm not greedy for money, it's just... when I see something shiny, I can't help but bite it in my mouth and pinch it in my claws..." Chang Longqing blushed and explained quickly.
However, the nature of dragons is such that when they see something shiny or shiny, whether it is pearls, jade or colored glaze, they can't help but play with it. This is how a dragon plays with a pearl.
Therefore, the master and the apprentice were really not short of money. Chang Long had been enlightened for hundreds of years and collected a large collection of gold, silver, jewelry, shells and colored glaze.
After laughing, Liu Qiao's face gradually became calmer and he said: "You don't know, those visions are all related to me. Immortal families all have the ability to calculate. If you don't leave quickly, depending on the methods of you and my master and apprentice, you may be poisoned in a short time!"
Although Liu Qiao didn't know the customs of these ancient immortal families and Qi practitioners, he had read some novels about underworld cultivating immortals in his previous life.
Whenever the protagonist gets a treasure or has some clever method, it doesn't take long for someone to come and snatch it away.
If you practice Huangting Taoism yourself and cause such a big noise, it is inevitable that someone will be tempted by this and come to investigate and rob you, so it is better to be careful.
"What...the vision was actually caused by Master!!"
When Chang Long heard this, he was greatly surprised. He hurriedly pulled Liu Qiao's sleeves and said with a surprised look on his face: "Did Master realize some earth-shattering Dharma again?"
"No, I'm just practicing Huangting Taoism casually. I don't want to cause such turmoil." Liu Qiao said helplessly.
Chang Long's face was full of astonishment. If you practice casually, you can have such a formation. If you practice specifically, it would be a big deal!
"My teacher Liu Qiao is indeed a great sage!" Chang Long couldn't help but sigh in his heart again.
…
The transformed crane flew quite fast. The master and the apprentice took the position and arrived outside Xiqi City in a matter of seconds.
As the head of two hundred towns in the west, and governed by holy kings all year round, Xiqi City is as majestic as Chaoge.
The two masters and apprentices were far apart, and the clouds fell on Qishan Mountain.
Another change of attire, Chang Long feared that his master would not like it, so he deliberately suppressed the evil and transformed into a smiling Toutuo.
Master and apprentice, one behind the other, followed the vendors on the road and lined up to enter the city.
"Could it be that Master is hiding in Xiqi City?"
"no…"
"Then what are we going to do in the city?"
Liu Qiao turned his head and glanced at Chang Long, and said with a smile: "Since you are meeting the elders, why don't you take out some of the treasures you have hidden with your bare hands, and let's buy some gifts to take with us."
Jiang Shang was invaded by the evil star, and no matter what he did for a living, he was destined to fail. Without Song Taigong to worship him, and without an official position, he would definitely live in poverty.
Liu Qiao thought about it, and first bought some silk and satin for his master, and made some Taoist robes and jade hairpins. After not seeing each other for a long time, they had to have a banquet together, which included wine, fruits and vegetables.
Chang Long thought about it. Master is still a good person. It seems that in this aspect, he still has to learn from his master in terms of human nature and sophistication.
He then asked curiously: "What does the master look like? If he can teach me the skills of an immortal like him, he must be a great immortal with great supernatural powers and majesty!"
Liu Qiao nodded with a smile and said: "Your master's surname is Jiang Mingshang. He has studied Kunlun Taoism for decades. His Taoism is profound, but he is low-key. He has never been willing to cultivate the magic power of Dao Qi. He lives in seclusion in the city. He is known as Ziya Gong."
The master and the apprentice chatted while walking, walked around the city a few times, bought some silk and satin, packed drinks, and were about to leave the city.
"Dong...dong...dong" suddenly, several gongs rang loudly.
In the distance, you can see colorful flags and banners, axes, axes, swords, swords and swords, rows of civil and military officials, purple clothes and jade belts, four royal horses leading behind, and yellow umbrellas on the chariots.
People along the way spontaneously retreated to the roadside and swept the streets.
A woodcutter carrying firewood nearby shouted: "Sage Xibo is going out, and those two Taoist priests haven't stayed away. Why are they blocking the road?"
"You guys, I'm just picking your firewood. I don't care where I stand! If you startle my master, you'll be beaten." Chang Long raised his head and cursed.
The woodcutter was furious when he heard this. He was nine feet tall, with strong arms and a strong waist, and a scarlet complexion. He was really a mighty man. At this time, he threw the hundreds of kilograms of firewood on the ground.
He also rolled up his sleeves, put his hands on his hips and cursed: "Haha, you savage is so angry. I'm kindly reminding you that you hit people at every turn. Why do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Chang Long sneered at the man and said, "You don't know what you are doing. If my master hadn't been here, I would have had to cure your nosy problem today."
"Don't be rude!" Liu Qiao scolded.
Liu Qiao saw that the people around him were avoiding him, but he didn't want to act alone, so he hurriedly pulled Chang Long to the street.
He was probably a firewood collector in the past. Liu Qiao hurriedly raised his hands to the woodcutter and said, "Thank you for reminding me, brother. My apprentice comes from a ravine and doesn't know the etiquette. Don't blame me. Don't blame me."
"Hmph... As a master, you know how to be polite!"
The woodcutter snorted coldly and said to Chang Long: "It's a good thing that your master is here to apologize, otherwise you will have to give me a good meal and a beating today!"
Chang Long rolled his eyes in anger, but was held down by Liu Qiao, so he had to turn his head away, not wanting to be like this mortal.
Liu Qiao smacked the woodcutter in the eyes and said hesitantly, "Brother, I see how majestic your body is. You walk like a tiger or a dragon. You are a poor man with a little knowledge of physiognomy. I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not!"
The woodcutter was stunned when he heard this and said, "The Taoist priest saw something very clearly. Just tell him."
Liu Qiao shook his head and said, "Forget it. I just noticed that your complexion is not good, and you won't be happy if I tell you, so I just won't say anything."
"Haha! To tell you the truth, there was an old man who met me just now."
The woodcutter sneered and said, "Tell me now. I'll see if it's the same as what that man said. If not, one of you is lying."
Seeing him like this, Liu Qiao frowned and turned around, but he didn't even want to answer. Like Chang Long, he was too lazy to talk to him.
Liu Qiao practiced with Jiang Shang and learned a certain amount of fortune telling. Although it is not very sophisticated, he can still see general fortune.
This woodcutter speaks rashly, maintains his own strength, and defies heaven and earth. With this character, something will happen sooner or later.
It was also because he was a woodcutter in his family, so he never underestimated him. He wanted to remind him kindly, but he was ridiculed in return. In this case, he naturally didn't bother to remind him again.
He didn't want to say it, but the woodcutter refused to let him go. He didn't know where the anger came from, so he took away the burden of carrying firewood.
He held it in his hand and said: "You have to say it now even if you don't say it. If it doesn't work, it is a demon's way. It's a demon's way to confuse the public. If the people around you can testify, I'll give you two crutches first and then drag you to see the official."
The people around him also started shouting: "That Taoist is probably trying to deceive honest people, but now he doesn't dare to say anything when he meets someone who is stunned."
"Wu Dalang, Qi Bo is passing by soon, don't dare to hit anyone impulsively!" Some people quickly advised him.
Chang Long laughed softly and said: "Now, master, if you want to be a good person, but others don't appreciate it, we will be beaten instead."
Liu Qiao glanced at the woodcutter quite speechlessly and said, "Wu Dalang, right? Since you want to hear it, I will tell you."
"Hmph, tell me quickly!" Wu Dalang said, holding up his shoulder.
"Pindao Guan, your left eye is blue and your right eye is red. You are going to beat someone to death today!" After saying that, he pulled Chang Long and left.
Before leaving, he left behind a sentence: "That's all I've said, you can take care of yourself!"
"You...are a thief who hurts people with your harsh words, but you are looking for a beating!"
The woodcutter was furious and started to beat him when he picked up the load. Fortunately, an acquaintance nearby quickly stopped him and advised him not to be impulsive and reckless, so he stopped.
After walking far away, Chang Long wondered: "That mortal is so reckless, why doesn't Master use a spell to teach him a lesson?"
"You always want to offend others for your words and use Taoism to bully others. Isn't it reckless?" Liu Qiao reprimanded.
"Practice people, their words are loose and their tongues are full of right and wrong. There are many masters who think they are high and are arrogant. They often point out people's shortcomings and say people are wrong. In the end, their lives are wasted. Remember to be careful with your words and deeds...
"
However, the words Jiang Shang had given to Liu Qiao back then were passed on to Chang Long today.
…
But the woodcutter saw that Liu Qiao was hiding away and ignored him, so he angrily picked up firewood and walked out along the street.
As soon as we reached the entrance to the city gate, the doorway was narrow, and just behind King Wen's chariot, a large number of sergeants passed by in formation.
He didn't like others, so he rushed to squeeze in and put the firewood on his shoulder.
But he didn't know that he had just pulled the load once, did not tie the firewood tightly, and squeezed it again, and the firewood "popped" and fell down.
He was tall, and hundreds of kilograms of firewood fell from his head. A scream of "Ah..." was heard, and the sergeant Wang Xiang was hit by the ears and killed on the spot.
Only then did he realize that he turned around to look. He was already being pinned to the ground by the sergeants from all four ranks, shouting, "The woodcutter rebelled and killed the soldiers!"
At this time, the noise had already alerted King Wen in the chariot.
"I regret not listening to what that Taoist said. It really worked. Now that I have caused trouble, I deserve to die!" Wu Dalang was pressed to the ground and his heart was filled with despair.
