Chapter 398: News of the Cerberus

But after all the bone rot worms went out, there was no news for a long time. Instead, more and more Taoists were around, and Xiao Yu also saw many little ghosts floating around.

Two hours later, some carrion insects began to run back slowly, but there was no news. It was already after ten o'clock in the evening. The strip-shaped villages at the foot of the mountain were like a fire dragon, wrapping the stone mountain in the middle, and the top of the mountain was

The atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.

"What should we do? It doesn't seem to be here. How about we go down and take a look?" the ghost corpse suggested beside him.

Others have been here for half a month but haven't found him yet, and Xiao Yu doesn't believe that he will encounter him just after arriving. If this is the case, his luck will probably go against his will.

Xiao Yu looked around and nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll ask the Insect King to call the Insect back first, and let's go take a look around."

After giving an explanation to the Insect King, the Insect King flew into the air and flapped his wings non-stop. As the opponent's wings vibrated, an invisible rhythm spread out in all directions. Not long after, there were carrion insects coming out of the air.

He climbed out from the side, then lay down on the ground, waiting quietly.

The insects came back relatively slowly, so Xiao Yu was not in a hurry. He lit a cigarette and stood there, waiting slowly.

But just then, two Taoists in the distance suddenly lowered their heads and muttered, and then quickly ran in a direction down the mountain, looking very panicked.

"Is there a situation?"

Xiao Yu stood on the mountain, looked at the direction the two Taoists were going, and couldn't help but said seriously.

"You and the Insect King are here. Don't run around. I'll go take a look first. You're afraid of being discovered if you go."

Xiao Yu looked at the direction the two Taoists were going, hurriedly said something to the ghost corpse, jumped down from the pavilion, and ran quickly towards the place where the two Taoists were just now.

When Xiao Yu rushed that way, the Taoist priests on the mountain also ran towards the bottom. For a while, many people stood on the street below, thinking that these Taoist priests were chasing something.

In a corner under the stone mountain, an old man in rags was standing in a garbage pile, constantly turning over the garbage.

On the old man's body, there was a somewhat tattered bag, and in the pocket lay a pitch-black puppy. This puppy was only more than a foot long, with ears high on its head and dark eyes. It was indeed the same as hell.

The dogs have the same appearance.

Behind the old man, several Taoists were standing, discussing something in a low voice, but the old man didn't say anything. He just kept turning over the garbage, found some minced meat, and fed it to the puppy.

"Uncle, are you selling this dog? I bought it." A young Taoist took two steps forward and said with a smile while standing in the garbage pile.

When the old man heard this, he just looked back at the place, and then said, "How much do you want to sell it? I'll sell it if it suits me. I'm a beggar and I can't support myself, so how can I support this little kid?"

After hearing what the old man said, the young Taoist couldn't help but be overjoyed. He didn't care about the filth in the garbage pile and walked up to him and said, "I'll give you five hundred yuan. What do you think? Five hundred yuan is enough to feed you for a month."

A puppy costs only a few dozen yuan in a rural area. If the other party gives it 500 yuan at a time, it can already buy half a big fat pig. Anyone would be happy to buy it.

However, the old man didn't follow the routine. He shook his head and said, "Five hundred yuan? My old man can pick up garbage here for a month and sell it for four to five hundred yuan. I won't sell it."

At this time, Xiao Yu came flying from a distance, stood beside the crowd, and began to look at the black puppy.

"Uncle, I will give you a thousand yuan, will you sell it? If not, I will leave." The young Taoist asked again.

If it were a real hellhound, there would be people willing to pay even 100,000, let alone 1,000, but the problem is that no one knows whether it is real or not. If it is fake, isn't that a joke?

"No, this little puppy has been following me since a week ago. It is quite pitiful. If I sell it and you eat it, you will suffer."

The old man's seemingly random words made everyone's expressions change. A week ago, wasn't that the time when the Cerberus was born? Then this dog might actually be that thing.

"How about selling it to me if I pay 50,000 yuan?" Another Taoist came forward and asked.

"I'll pay you 100,000, and you sell it to me."

A group of Taoists stood in front of the garbage pile, as if they were holding an auction, and each began to bid.

The old man stood there and said nothing, but you could see from his face that he still looked very excited.

Xiao Yu stood behind, not making any bids, but observing the old man.

"Lin Changsheng, sixty-three years old, childless, with a life span of seventy-three years."

From the other side, he doesn't look like a beggar, but now he is dressed like this, which makes people suspicious.

A group of Taoists were bidding one after another, attracting a circle of people watching the excitement. Everyone looked at the old man picking up garbage and the dog in his arms in surprise.

Everyone didn't understand why this group of Taoist priests wanted to buy the dog from the old man's arms and offered such high fake money.

"Old man, sell it quickly. Three hundred thousand is enough for you to build a house and find a wife."

"Yeah, sell it quickly. What's the use of your dog? It just runs into the garbage heap when it sees people. It's better to find a wife to warm the bed."

A group of villagers shouted loudly nearby, which made the old man very proud.

"Okay, 300,000 yuan, I'll sell it, pay with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other hand. Don't even think about taking it away without giving me the money."

Encouraged by the people around him, the old man immediately agreed.

The person who offered 300,000 yuan was a middle-aged Taoist. He was wearing a Taoist robe and was very tall. He looked about 1.8 meters tall. He was followed by a Taoist from two years ago, who looked a bit like the master of the Taoist temple.

"Okay, I will be the first one to eat the crab. Don't be jealous, everyone."

The middle-aged Taoist said something coldly, as if to say hello to the people around him, telling everyone not to cause trouble.

Because three hundred thousand is a big number, and the other party is not allowed to bring so much cash, and the old man doesn't dare to bring so much money with him.

"Hey, don't worry, I have a bank card. If you transfer money to me, I will receive it."

The old man put his dirty hands into his clothes and took out a hand roll with three inner and outer layers, revealing a bank card and a wad of change. He then took out a somewhat tattered mobile phone.

"I have an information reminder. If you forward it, I can see it," the old man said with a smile.

"Hey, you old man, you are quite prepared. How much money do you have in your card? Is it enough for you to buy a coffin?"

"I don't even have the mobile phone I got. It seems like you can pick up treasures even if you pick up rags...".

An old man who picked up rubbish and had no food to eat actually had a bank card and a mobile phone, and even had text message notifications in a fashionable manner. Xiao Yu was really surprised by such a high-end thing.
