The sturdy man and the tall and thin monk did not expect that there would be someone in this city who dared to snatch the treasure.
When the spiritual light flashed wildly on his body, the two people quickly surrounded this person.
No matter what the other party's purpose is, even if they want to buy this puppet, this is what they fancy first. If they want to snatch it, there is no way!
However, Ming Ling saw the appearance of the person clearly after being startled. She immediately beamed with joy and stepped forward to salute.
The visitor was Shuang Zhongshan who was rushing back. When he was some distance away from the store, he immediately discovered a high-level puppet appearing in the store with his keen perception of the puppet mechanism technique.
When his consciousness was swept away, his expression changed drastically. Without thinking too much, he hurriedly stepped in and put away the "Crystal Snow Jade Spider" in one fell swoop.
He didn't need to think too much to know that this thing was refined by his son, because he collected the raw materials for the refining and gave them to the other party for cultivation.
The thick man and the tall and thin monk were about to yell at each other, when the shop owner called the visitor "Daddy!"??
Of course they knew the identity of the other party, but the two of them still had dissatisfaction in their eyes and looked at the visitor with unkind expressions.
On the other side, although Shuang Zhongshan did not understand the situation, he quickly and secretly sent a message to Ming Ling, telling her to shut up immediately and not say any more. He would handle everything.
Later, Shuang Zhongshan explained to the thick man and the tall and thin monk with a smiling face.
"I purchased this item yesterday for Quanzi to use as a natal magic weapon. It was mixed with other puppets that needed to be sold, and I couldn't take it out in time.
Only then was my daughter-in-law taken out as a puppet for sale. Everything was due to our negligence. We also invited two Taoist friends Haihan. I am really sorry!"
Shuang Zhongshan was also straightforward in doing things. He immediately asked for hundreds of spiritual stones to compensate the other party. This was extremely sincere. The other party did nothing and could get a sum of spiritual stones.
The thick man and the tall and thin monk were about to burst into anger, but after being explained sincerely by the other party, they felt helpless.
They wouldn't dare forcefully buy it if the other party didn't want to sell it, not to mention that they had to pay a lot of compensation for their mistakes.
But the two of them still want to get this thing. A puppet of this level is really a rare treasure in the market.
They asked Shuang Zhongshan if he could order this treasure for them, and they were willing to pay more for the spiritual stone and buy it at a high price.
Shuang Zhongshan then used various excuses to evade.
He claims that the master who refined this thing is old and has no hope of forming an elixir in this life.
This is the last higher-level magic weapon he refined. For the sake of his limited lifespan, the other party will not refine it again, consume his body, etc.
He had to beg for a long time for this "Crystal Snow Jade Spider" before the other party reluctantly agreed to it. He really couldn't help him with this, so after refusing for a while, he finally put the matter aside.
Finally, the sturdy man and the tall and thin monk also left after collecting the Shuangzhong Mountain Spiritual Stone.
After the two people left, Shuang Zhongshan's face was gloomy, as if he was about to kill someone. Ming Ling was so frightened that she didn't know what she had gotten into. disaster.
After Shuang Zhongshan briefly asked what happened, he went to the weapon refining room to see Shuang Lianzhou, who was still sleeping. He was speechless for a long time, and in the end he could only sigh.
They hid these things from Ming Ling because they didn't want her to know the inside story. How could they blame her this time?
When Shuang Lianzhou woke up and learned about this, his expression changed drastically.
It's just that he and Ming Ling treated each other with respect. Ming Ling was not only well-behaved, but also kept the shop in good order, so Shuang Lianzhou could only remain silent.
In this way, Ming Ling felt that she had been wronged. Not only did her father-in-law not say what she had done wrong, but her husband, who had always loved her, also refused to say the reason.
And she has already noticed that the father and son have plans to leave here. Are they planning to leave her behind secretly?
Immediately, Ming Ling began to become depressed and unhappy. After a few days, Shuang Lianzhou knew that if this matter was kept secret, the couple would definitely separate.
So after repeated discussions with Shuang Zhongshan, I also felt that Ming Ling treated the two of them sincerely.
Finally, he made a decision, took Ming Ling into the secret room, briefly explained his origins, and even told Ming Ling the reason for his greatest worries.
Only then did Ming Ling realize how much trouble she had caused, and she felt extremely regretful. However, she felt relieved because she thought that since she had planned to move away, there would be nothing left to do after that.
However, Shuang Zhongshan has been careful for so many years, and he knows that if he leaves quietly without any warning, it will attract the attention of others afterwards, and those who are interested will investigate.
Everything should be done naturally and smoothly.
And since that day, no strange monks have appeared in or around the shop.
Therefore, Shuang Zhongshan felt that he was just paranoid and decided to proceed as per the normal plan.
But just when they were about to take stock of the store and leave, ten days later, the sturdy man and the tall, thin monk came to their door again.
This made Shuang Zhongshan startled at first, thinking that the other party had discovered something suspicious.
Unexpectedly, the attitude of the thick man and the tall and thin monk was extremely good. They said that after returning home, they felt that the store had a good reputation, so they came over to buy some more elixirs.
With Shuang Zhongshan's experience, of course he wouldn't believe the other person, but he soon figured out what these two people were really thinking.
They didn't want to give up on the puppet, but still wanted him to find the master to refine two puppets, so they came over to explore and discuss.
Of course, Shuang Zhongshan still refused, saying that he couldn't help, and politely refused.
After that, those two people disappeared.
As a result, Shuang Zhongshan instinctively felt that he should leave more quickly, but Shuang Lianzhou had other ideas.
I think what these two people did was counterproductive.
Rather, it means that the other party is just a person who wants to buy a puppet and has no other intentions.
And they had been observing carefully during this period, and there was nothing abnormal. He thought that even for safety reasons, they should observe it for some more time before making a decision.
They had been hiding in Tibet for decades, and it was too difficult to live in fear all day long and have no home.
I finally chose this place after five years of investigation. If I wanted to choose a suitable place, it would not be easy despite the vastness of the Lost Continent.
After all, they also need to practice, they also need materials and good spiritual energy, and the races in some places are very aggressive and have stubborn domain awareness.
Shuang Chongshan's original insistence was shaken by Shuang Lianzhou's several persuasion.
"It can't really be such a coincidence. It's not like there have never been puppets of this level in the market here, it's just that there are fewer of them!"
With this in mind, he finally agreed to stay and observe for a few more days.
And for a period of time, as usual, no strange monks appeared in the market, and everything in the shops was as before.
After seven or eight days on the frosty mountain, I actually had the idea not to leave.
And just two days later, the sturdy man and the tall and thin monk unexpectedly appeared in their shop again, which made the three Shuangs once again uneasy and suspicious.
However, the other party only exchanged a few words with them, bought some elixirs and talismans, did not mention the puppet, and disappeared again.
For a moment, Shuang Zhongshan didn't know what the other party really meant.
After Shuang Zhongshan carefully thought about the behavior of these two people, he decided to stay for now. After all, the monks below Yuanying here would not dare to do anything.
If there was anything unusual, he would still be able to tell it with his keen sense of life and death over the years. At the same time, he also secretly inquired about the origins of those two people.
To put it bluntly, even he was tired of the wandering life and had a trace of luck in his heart.
In the days that followed, the stalwart man and the tall and thin monk would come here every ten days and a half, or even every two or three months, and they gradually became familiar with Shuangchong Mountain.
Of course, Shuang Chongshan was not idle, and he already knew the identities of these two people. One was named Ma and the other was Gao.
They make a living by hunting low-level monsters and selling monster materials.
This kind of business of earning spiritual stones is very normal among casual cultivators, so they often go away for a long time without showing up.
After harvesting, they would bring the corpses of the monsters to the market to sell them. After obtaining the spirit stones, they would often purchase the elixirs needed for cultivation and wait for a period of time to practice.
Then when the cultivation resources are almost exhausted, buy some more talismans and elixirs, and then enter the area where low-level monsters come and go again.
Week after week, year after year, this is how I support my cultivation. And every time these two people come to the Shuangzhongshan store, that is, before going out for hunting or returning, they come to the market to either prepare various necessary things for going out, or to purchase cultivation resources.
Shuang Zhongshan also secretly inquired about this from other stores.
So Shuang Chongshan slowly felt relieved. However, years of being on the run did not make him completely let down his guard. Instead, he paid more attention to observing the monks coming and going in the market.
Just like that, five more years later, everything was as before, calm and peaceful.
The two monks surnamed Ma also became familiar with Shuang Zhongshan's family.
Sometimes they even begged Shuang Chongshan to lend them some elixirs and medicines on credit. The more these two behaved like this, the more Shuang Chongshan felt that they had no problem.
If you are someone who wants to get close to them deliberately, it is often more about leaving a good impression on your family.
But the other party is really like a vulgar casual cultivator, he will take advantage of it if he can, and he is not very punctual in returning spiritual stones, and he seems to be procrastinating as much as possible.
Shuang Zhongshan, such a shrewd person, was deceived by these two people.
The stout monk surnamed Ma and the slender monk surnamed Gao are actually extremely cunning, especially the monk surnamed Ma, whose vulgar appearance is completely inconsistent with his vicious and delicate mind.
Not only is he extremely cruel, but he is also as considerate as a hair.
Although the two of them did hunt low-level monsters in exchange for spiritual stones, what they did more was murder and swindling.
They often ambush those casual cultivators who also hunt for monsters and collect medicinal materials, kill people and mutilate their corpses, and snatch the storage bags, monsters, medicinal materials, etc. from the other party's body and take them for themselves.
They acted in a hidden and clean manner, and most of the people who knew about it were dead.
The remaining monks who were aware of their methods also stayed away from them. It was better to do less than to do more, as they did not want to provoke these two desperadoes.
These two people had seen many more monks of all kinds than Shuang Zhongshan. Therefore, from their perspective, when they saw the puppet and Shuang Zhongshan for the first time, they discovered several problems.
However, they were so sophisticated that they did not show any abnormality. On the contrary, they acted like normal people and became extremely angry when someone interfered with them.
First, the little woman called out "Daddy", and then her face became surprised and uncertain, and even more of a puzzled expression.
It was obvious that the person who came in had said something to her, and the content was beyond the understanding of this little woman, which was why she had such a confused expression.
Later, Shuang Zhongshan's explanation seemed very reasonable, but in fact there was a big loophole, which further confirmed the thoughts of the two monks surnamed Ma.
It stands to reason that as a daughter-in-law, how could the young woman not know that this magic weapon purchased for her family is not a cabbage on the street.
Secondly, they had used their spiritual sense to examine the puppet, and they found a very small mark on the side of one leg of the "Crystal Snow Jade Spider".
