When Shi Cheng heard the voice, he looked over and realized it was Xiao Che. The green light in his hand immediately disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turns out to be you, I was shocked!"
"I should be the one to say this. I was almost scared out of my mind by you." Xiao Che said angrily. Since his current cultivation level is not as strong as before, how dare he take Shi Cheng's wind blade easily.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. You came just in time. I just have something to tell you." After saying that, Shi Cheng took Xiao Che to the bank of Luohui River not far away.
"What happened? You look so distracted?" Xiao Che stopped and asked quickly.
"You don't even know that such a big thing happened in the city?" Shi Cheng looked strange.
"What happened?" Xiao Che was confused. He had been immersed in cultivation these past few days and had no information. He could be said to be indifferent to what was going on outside the window. He only focused on practicing the sage skills. Could it be that during the past few days of his practice, Yuexi City had been
The Kraken of the Lost Sea has captured?
Seeing Xiao Che's confused look, Shi Cheng was not in a hurry anymore, and said calmly: "Two major events have indeed happened in the past few days. One is directly related to you, and the other is indirectly related to you. You first
Which one do you want to listen to?"
"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly." Hearing this, a black line appeared on Xiao Che's forehead. This relationship was so good that all the major events that happened were related to him.
"The first thing is about Liu Hong. After he was injured by you that day, he was in a coma for three days. When he woke up, he left his soul." Shi Cheng said directly.
"What does it mean to be injured by me? He was playing with fire and burning himself. Wait a minute -" Xiao Che corrected the mistake in Shi Cheng's words seriously, but suddenly the conversation changed, "You said he has left his soul?"
Lihun means losing the soul, which in popular terms means becoming an idiot. That day, Xiao Che knew that after that battle, Liu Hong was haunted by inner demons and his spiritual practice would inevitably stagnate, but he never thought that Liu Hong would change as a result.
Get dementia.
"Yes." Shi Cheng looked solemn. Of course he would not sympathize with Liu Hong. Liu Hong's becoming dementia was good news for them. But what made him unhappy was that Liu Hong was a second-generation official. He
Liu Du, the father of Liu Hong, is the elder of the Life Spirit Hall. If something like this happened to his son, Liu Du, as a father, would not let it go. Although Liu Hong's injuries were mainly caused by him forcibly performing life magic, Liu Du would definitely
This matter is Xiao Che's fault.
"It is said that Liu Du has gone to the Thunder Gate in Canghai County today to ask the miracle doctor to come and treat Liu Hong. With the speed, he will be back in less than three days. Previously, Liu Hong was in a coma, which made him very anxious, and because of the intervention of Palace Master Lin, he was
, he can't take care of you. But whether Liu Hong can be cured when he comes back from Thunder Gate is another matter, but what I am sure of is that he will definitely come to trouble you!" Shi Cheng looked at it seriously.
Looking at Xiao Che.
"Liu Du..." Xiao Che also had a headache when he heard this name. Although Liu Hong was seriously injured in the battle that day, he would not become so severely demented. Could it be that his resentment towards himself has reached the level of inner demons?
Innate, the state of soul confusion?
Isn't that the case?
"Do you know that anyone visited Liu Hong when he was seriously injured?" Xiao Che suddenly asked. For some reason, he always felt that there was a hidden reason behind this matter that he didn't know about.
Shi Cheng didn't know why Xiao Che asked this, so he said casually: "Liu Hong is a very bad person. Who would go to see him except those gangsters?"
"After you return to the Wusheng Academy today, go find out who has visited Liu Hong. Be careful and don't miss anyone." Xiao Che solemnly asked.
"Well, I've written it down. But now is not the time to talk about this. What do you think should be done to solve this matter? It's my fault. If I hadn't lost my composure and accepted Liu Hong's challenge, I wouldn't have done it.
If I cause these things, I won't harm you and Aunt Qing." Shi Cheng was a little annoyed.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to blame yourself. With or without you, the battle between Liu Hong and I is inevitable. Speaking of getting involved, it's me who got you involved. I left the Mingling Palace.
I'm afraid Liu Du will point the finger at you. You haven't had a hard time in Wushengyuan these days, right?" Seeing Shitou's appearance, Xiao Che was quite moved and said objectively.
Shi Cheng sighed softly. Xiao Che guessed correctly. A few days ago, Liu Du's gang members had indeed made things difficult for him, otherwise he would not be so neurotic. Fortunately, Lin Qianshan stepped in to stop him and saved him.
Got away from a lot of trouble.
"You're fine, you still have the ability to protect yourself, but what about Aunt Qing? If Liu Du sends people to deal with Aunt Qing..." Shi Cheng's face was solemn, as if he didn't dare to say any more.
"I was the one who injured Liu Hong. The person Liu Du hates the most is me, so he will focus more on me. As for my mother, there is no need to worry too much. Do you think we orphans and widowed mothers are so stubborn?"
How did it take a few years? Not to mention that the Feng family has always been ruthless, there are also many people in the Xie family who want to get rid of us, mother and son. However, fortunately, old man Xie has great power and secretly sent people to protect us, so our mother and son have been dead long ago without knowing it.
How many times. So, as long as that
As long as the old man is still alive, Liu Du won't dare to blatantly touch my mother!" When Xiao Che said this, his emotions were a little complicated, and his eyes looked in one direction in the city from time to time.
When Shi Cheng heard this, his heart trembled. Of course he knew who Old Man Xie was talking about in Xiao Che's mouth. Then, a wry smile appeared on his face and he said helplessly: "This is the second important thing I want to tell you."
Seeing Shi Cheng's expression, Xiao Che's feeling of uneasiness suddenly became extremely strong, and he asked tentatively: "Looking at your appearance, could it be that this second incident has something to do with that old man Xie?"
Shi Cheng nodded heavily and said: "Two days ago, the old man Xie you mentioned, that is, the head of the Xie family, went crazy while practicing. He was so anxious that he fell into a coma and has not woken up yet. Everyone in the Xie family was in chaos, even though Xie Zhiren tried his best to cover up the matter.
, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that something might be wrong with Patriarch Xie this time."
When Xiao Che heard this, his face suddenly became solemn, his mind was confused, and he was even more stimulated than when he heard about Liu Hong's dementia. Xie Zhiren is the current head of the Xie family, and the old head of the Xie family is his mother Xie Wanqing's biological father, and he is also his father.
Grandpa in name only.
"So, the situation is indeed serious." Xiao Che frowned and couldn't help but feel a little upset. In Xiao Che's heart, there was no resentment or anger towards the grandfather he had never met. He had expelled his mother from Xie
Home, which seems to be a last resort, is actually the best way. For the Xie family, it can preserve the family's reputation and stabilize their status in the city. For the mother, it can also prevent her from being at the forefront. After all, one has become an inferior.
Commoner women can more or less alleviate the hatred and anger of the Feng family and the Xie family, and in the past ten years, he has secretly sent people to protect their mother and son. It can be said that Xiao Che not only has no resentment towards him, but
There is also some gratitude.
Now that he heard that he went crazy and fell into a coma, Xiao Che even felt a little worried in his heart, but he knew very well how much he weighed, and he was powerless to help. He just prayed for him in his heart, hoping that he could
Survive this ordeal.
"Xiao Che, what should we do now?" Shi Cheng saw Xiao Che in a daze and immediately pulled him out of his fugue and back to reality.
"Old man Xie, uh, old man Xie, Patriarch Xie, can't protect himself right now, and Liu Du doesn't know when he will show up or secretly assassinate us. The top priority is to find someone who can protect us, that is, to take advantage of the situation." Xiao Che said seriously.
thinking.
"Are you looking for Palace Master Lin?" Monk Shi Cheng was confused. He couldn't think of anyone other than Lin Qianshan who would take the initiative to protect Xiao Che. But in the case of Liu Du, Lin Qianshan's rights were limited, so it would be difficult for him to help him.
.
Xiao Che looked up at the blue sky and fell into deep thought. Suddenly his thoughts changed, and the three mysterious blue beads appeared in his mind, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.
"There is someone who can help me. Let's go to a place with me."
…
Danyangfang is bustling with people coming and going, most of them are warriors who come to buy elixirs or exchange for elixirs. From time to time, a few people dressed as pharmacists appear. As soon as they enter the door, they are welcomed to the second floor by the servants.
At this moment, two young men in simple clothes were standing in front of the gate, naturally they were Xiao Che and Shi Cheng.
Looking at the spacious door in front of him, Shi Cheng said with some confusion: "Xiao Che, didn't you say there is a treasure? Why don't we go to Baibao Pavilion and come to Danyangfang?" Along the way, he had learned that Xiao Che had accidentally obtained a treasure.
The unknown treasure wants to use it as a bargaining chip to achieve his goal.
Hearing this, Xiao Che couldn't help but feel funny: "Why do you choose to go to Baibao Pavilion when it comes to treasures? Doesn't Danyangfang also buy some rare elixirs or treasures?"
When Shi Cheng heard this, he felt speechless, but most people would still choose Baibao Pavilion. After all, they are more professional in treasure appraisal.
Xiao Che seemed to know what Shi Cheng was thinking, and continued: "There are two reasons for not going to Baibao Pavilion. First, most of the managers of Baibao Pavilion are businessmen. Businessmen value profits over righteousness. The purpose of our trip is to take advantage of the opportunity.
, mainly depends on people. But without the guarantee of strength, we, who are already in a weak position, are bound to be looked down upon. When the time comes to take out the treasures, the less interest will be insignificant. I am afraid that they will not help us wholeheartedly. In the end
On the contrary, it will cause unnecessary disasters. The difference in Danyangfang is that, except for some stewards and clerks, the other people are either pharmacists or pharmacists. Although most of these people have eccentric temperaments and are withdrawn and taciturn, they have always come from
With a noble view, like an old scholar, how could he sacrifice his own worth to take advantage of two immature men for the sake of a small profit?"
"That's it." Shi Cheng nodded in sudden realization. His talent and understanding in cultivation were very high, but his understanding of human relations was somewhat lacking.
"What about the second reason?"
"The second reason is that you will know it as soon as you go in." Xiao Che said with a sly smile and walked into the lobby first.
The lobby of Danyangfang is spacious, even better than the branches of Mingling Hall. There are multiple medicine shops in it, divided into elixir shops.
, Pharmacy Museum, Danyao Pavilion, etc., the layout regulation and division of labor are quite clear.
Xiao Che took Shi Cheng straight to the elixir shop. This shop was mainly responsible for the purchase and sale of medicinal herbs and spiritual plants. It was also an area under the jurisdiction of the person he asked for help.
There were not many people at the counter of the elixir shop, just three busy ordinary clerks and a fat middle-aged steward who was busy keeping accounts.
The fat middle-aged manager felt someone coming over, so he still lowered his head and took notes and said, "What elixirs do you want to buy?"
Xiao Che smiled and said: "I don't want to buy the elixir, but I want to sell something."
"Are you here to sell something? What are you selling? Elixirs or rare ores." The middle-aged fat steward replied without even raising his head.
Elixirs and rare ores are Danyangfang's main sources of funds, and Danyangfang's external purchases generally focus on these two types of items.
"It's neither a magic medicine nor a rare ore." Xiao Che replied calmly.
After hearing this, the fat middle-aged manager finally raised his head and stared at Xiao Che and Xiao Che with a pair of small black eyes. However, he saw that these two people were young and plainly dressed. They couldn't come up with anything good even after thinking about it.
He curled his lips and sneered: "With neither elixir nor rare ore, what else can you come up with? Is it the life core of a monster?"
Monster life core is a strange crystal that can be conceived by very few monsters in the destiny realm. It has many uses and is very rare and precious. It is rare that only one out of a hundred monster beasts in the destiny realm can condense the life core. The value of such spiritual objects
Naturally, it is far superior to ordinary elixirs and ores. Of course, the fat deacon didn't think that a poor boy like Xiao Che could handle it. His previous words were just to make fun of the two of them.
"I don't know if it's the life core of the monster, but you can't make the decision on this matter. Please inform Pharmacist Lin that Xiao Che has something for him to see." Xiao Che didn't look at him, looking down on others.
He sneered in his heart. Although he didn't know what this blue bead was, he had a feeling in his heart that the value of this bead would not be lower than that of an ordinary monster's life core!
The fat steward's eyes suddenly narrowed, and there was a hint of coldness in the small slits in his eyes. He smiled coldly and said: "Pharmacist Lin is one of the elders of my Danyangfang. He has a distinguished status. How can I have time to see a brat like you? Give it to me.
Get out of here as far away as you can! If you don't get out, I'll ask someone to throw you out!" There was a hint of anger in the fat steward's voice. The two brats who knew nothing about the world actually said that they couldn't make the decision and even wanted to see Elder Lin.
?dream!
Xiao Che ignored the threat from the fat steward, his expression remained calm, but the coldness in his eyes became more obvious. "You only need to tell Pharmacist Lin, and he will naturally find time to see me."
"Don't miss the important event of Pharmacist Lin." After finishing speaking, Xiao Che added another sentence.
Seeing the confident and calm posture of the young man in front of him, the fat steward couldn't help but frown.
"Could it be that this kid really has something to do with Elder Lin?" The fat steward's dark little eyes flashed with light, who could sit in his position is not a human spirit, with an attitude of preferring to believe him or not, he
He took a deep look at Xiao Che and said angrily, "Wait."
After saying that, he dragged his fat body up to the second floor.
Not long after, the fat steward came down from the second floor in a hurry, with a little surprise still on his face. He didn't expect that these two poor boys actually had something to do with Elder Lin.
"You two young heroes, Elder Lin has invited us to meet you at Qinghui Pavilion on the second floor." The fat steward's tone became much more polite.
"Thank you, steward, for informing me."
"It's a small matter, you two young heroes, just don't blame me for being careless." The fat steward nodded repeatedly, apologetically in his words.
Xiao Che and Xiao Che looked at each other and smiled in acquaintance. The fat steward's change of attitude before and after really made them realize that things in the world are constantly changing.
"Without strength, there is no dignity." Xiao Che thought to himself. He took advantage of Lin Yaoshi's influence today to make the fat manager humble and submissive. But did he really respect himself? Of course not, he was just afraid of Lin
Because of the power of Pharmacist Lin, he pretended to be flattered by him. Why, because Lin Yaoshi had the power to change his destiny, which was enough to make him respect and convince him. And I didn't want something from Pharmacist Lin today. Why, wasn't it because he had something that he didn't have?
strength and status?
"Well, strength is what brings dignity and status after all." Xiao Che couldn't help sighing, but the desire for strength in his heart became stronger. He glanced at Shi Cheng and found that Shi Cheng's eyes were also shining with something similar at this moment.
With their own similar light, the two looked at each other, shook their heads and chuckled again.
Next, Xiao Che and his wife, led by their guards, went up to the second floor and arrived at Qinghui Pavilion.
"You two, please come in. Elder Lin is inside." The guard made an inviting gesture.
"Thank you." The two of them returned the gift, thanked the guards, and walked into the pavilion. They heard his voice before they saw him. As soon as they stepped into the pavilion, they heard an old, deep voice ringing in their ears.
"Xiao Che, you haven't been here for a long time. Counting the days, it's been about five years, right?"
