Chapter 140 Sending the Soul Home
On the flower boat, the survivors were all frightened. When their feet touched the ground, their knees were weak.
When I looked back at the mountains behind me, I didn’t know what happened just now, but I also knew that if I hadn’t escaped, I’d probably have been buried in the bad water or under the mountains. He will never see the light of day.
I just want to thank the girl who saved me.
But when I turned around, I found that the girl had disappeared, and she had gone somewhere.
Some sharp-eyed people took out a few soybeans from the ship's board, but they did not associate these gadgets with the girl. They only thought that someone brought them on the ship accidentally.
The rescued people gathered together to talk. They all planned to find this capable girl to express their gratitude and build a temple to burn incense. But after talking and talking, they realized that the image everyone saw was completely different. different.
Some people say that the person who saved people is a heroine general who is cheerful and cheerful, but has a bad temper; some people say that she is a heroine who loves to laugh and must be willing to help others; others say that she is a fairy from heaven. , extremely beautiful and beautiful.
Many people argued over the appearance of the rescuer, and as a result, eight girls with completely different clothes but identical looks were pieced together.
Puzzling.
On the other side, there was no one at the edge of the gambling village. Zhou Miao was squatting on the ground in pain, breathing heavily. His face was pale, he was seriously injured, and he was swaying, as if he was going to faint in the next moment.
On the ground not far away, Han Bai was lying on his stomach. The scholar was frightened and couldn't run very far before he kicked his left foot and his right foot and fell directly to the ground. Oops, it took a long time. Can't get up.
Master Donkey also looked helpless next to him.
What do you think he can do?
He is just a donkey.
Just as Mr. Donkey was twirling his hooves left and right, thinking whether his saliva could relieve the pain, his ears suddenly moved and he heard footsteps coming from behind. Looking sideways, he realized that Zuo Chen had arrived behind him at some point.
After taking a look at the situation in front of him, Zuo Chen flicked his fingers, and a stream of spiritual energy flew through the air and landed on Zhou Miao's body.
Zhou Miao felt a warm current surge from his body, and his bloody palm quickly began to recover, growing back to its original appearance in the blink of an eye, without any visible injuries.
After doing this, Zuo Chen also put his hands on Lord Donkey and injected a little spiritual energy into him. Lord Donkey’s scalded mouth also healed quickly.
Master Lu lowered his head in the direction of Zuo Chen:
"Thank you, sir!"
Zuo Chen glanced at him once more:
"Is your spiritual wisdom turned on?"
"It's turned on."
"When?"
"That night in Linsen City."
Zuo Chen stared at Lord Donkey with an expression like "You knew how to speak then, why didn't you speak?"
Master Donkey turned his head and pretended he couldn't see it.
Zhou Miao, who was half-kneeling, finally got up. His face was still not very good. The pain just now was echoing in his brain, making him almost unable to straighten up.
But he still saluted Zuo Chen and thanked him: "Thank you, Immortal, for saving my life!"
"You'd better thank him more." Zuo Chen pointed at the donkey: "There was a big formation on the other side of the river just now. They need the three sacrifices of greed, stupidity and anger as an inducement to awaken the evil thing. If it weren't for the donkey..."
Zuo Chen stopped talking at this point, and Zhou Miao's face changed from normal color to white, and then to cyan.
His eyes fell on the sign with the word "Crazy" stained with donkey saliva, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Where can’t you see this?
It was clearly the pen pal in Kyoto who set a trap for himself!
After the disaster, Zhou Miao's obsession with gambling skills suddenly disappeared, and all her thoughts disappeared.
During the Guanqi technique, Zuo Chen could clearly see that the original power in Zhou Miao's body began to gradually dissipate, and within a few breaths it had completely disappeared, with no trace left.
Zhou Miao rearranged her clothes, bowed deeply in the direction of Mr. Donkey with great respect, and said:
“Thank you, Immortal Donkey, for helping me. If it hadn’t been for Immortal Donkey, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been there. We set foot on Huangquan Road and passed Wangxiang Terrace. One day, we will build a temple for the great immortal, burn incense and build a golden body. I don't eat incense. I smelled it when I passed by the Chenghuang Temple. It was bitter and astringent, and it was still old. You built a temple for me, but I was upset. "
Zhou Miao was slightly startled.
He once heard in Goulan that Mr. Shu said that the ultimate goal of mountain goblins' cultivation is to enter the temple and become a city god. Why does it seem that this donkey master is not willing?
Zhou Miao knew nothing about spiritual practice and did not dare to say anything, so he turned and asked hurriedly:
"Then, Immortal Donkey, what should I do and how can I repay you?"
“You don’t need to repay me,” Mr. Donkey said. His eyes drifted to the side and landed on Han Bai, who was shivering on the ground. He let out a disdainful sneer:
"Brother, you should do more research when helping others in the future. Not everyone is worthy of your large sums of money."
"Huh?"
Zhou Miao turned her head in confusion.
Han Bai finally climbed up from the ground. His body was covered with dirt and his face was pale. After hearing Mr. Donkey’s words, his lips trembled a little.
"I...I really need to treat my sister..."
Hearing this, Mr. Donkey snorted. Han Bai shuddered all over, knelt down, and kowtowed to Zhou Miao: "It was a young boy in my hometown who told me that there was a good person named Zhou Dashan nearby who was giving money. I did I have a sister who is really sick and has little money, so she came to you. I...I...I also want to get more out of your pocket so that our family can live a good life."
"This?"
Zhou Miao's eyes widened, she never thought that her new "friend" would think like this.
“You brought our friend from the countryside before. His mother needed five taels of silver at that time, but you gave him a hundred taels. In addition to the medicine money, their family even bought a hospital in the countryside. Shop, life will be prosperous from now on. After seeing this, I was moved and wanted to come to you and ask for more money.”
Because Zuo Chen and Mr. Lu had been watching from the side, the scholar did not dare to hide it at all and read out all his thoughts at once.
Zhou Miao's face was blank, her lips moved slightly, but she couldn't say a word.
Master Lv also added at this moment:
“Boy Zhou, I estimate that many of the people you have helped before have the same thoughts as this scholar. Having money means having money, but it is not always a good thing to spend a lot of money casually. Have you ever thought about what if a group of bandits saw that you had a lot of money, made up a lie, and asked for money from you, but then bought it. Burning, killing, and plundering with swords, guns, and sticks, do you accept the consequences or not?"
After hearing what Mr. Donkey said, Zhou Miao said nothing.
Han Bai just knelt on the ground, not daring to move.
Caiyi also popped up not far away and ran to Zuo Chen and Mr. Lu.
Just when he wanted to explain to Zuo Chen that his mission was successfully completed, he saw this incredible scene in front of him. He stretched out his hand and scratched his head:
"Taoist priest, what's going on? What’s the matter?”
Before Zuo Chen had time to answer, Lord Donkey snorted from the side:
"I'm teaching the landlord's son to be more cautious."
When Caiyi heard Mr. Donkey talking, he blinked and shouted:
"Master Donkey! You can talk now. !”
“From now on, you can just chat with Mr. Donkey and me, so that you don’t disturb Taoist Master Qingjing by talking too much.”
Caiyi: “…”
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Miao finally squeezed out a sigh from his throat, lowered his head, and said with complicated eyes:
"How much money does your sister's illness cost?"
"Seven...seven taels. East. Shui Cao Xintang’s medicine costs seven taels of silver.”
This time the scholar did not dare to lie.
"You come with me to Dongshui City, and I will go to Caoxintang to buy the medicine for you." Zhou Miao said, then paused: "But you have to come to my house to work long-term until the money is returned. Until then.”
"Thank you, Brother Zhou."
The scholar breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed to Zhou Miao again.
After finishing the matter here, Zhou Miao seemed to have lost something in his heart. There was a trace of confusion in his eyes, and he stood there for a long time, then turned his head and looked towards They looked at Zuo Chen and bowed their hands in a salute:
"Can you, the three immortal elders, treat me to a humble abode? I would be really sorry if I don't treat you three well."
Listening to what he said, Zuo Chen waved:
"No, I still have some things to do, so I won't go to Mr. Zhou's house to bother you."
Regret appeared in Zhou Miao's eyes, but she didn't do much to persuade him to stay. After bidding farewell to Zuo Chen and the others, he pulled Han Bai walked towards the outside of the dense forest.
Seeing Zhou Miao's back, Luye suddenly shook his head and shouted in his direction:
"Hey, boy from the Zhou family, are you still going to gamble?"< br>
Zhou Miao, who was walking forward, was slightly startled, then turned back and shouted:
"No more gambling! I will never gamble again!"
But at this moment, he realized that there were no traces of the two people and the donkey behind him, only the moonlight shone down a long road.
Zhou Miao was slightly startled, but she shook her head and smiled bitterly, then turned and walked forward.
Didn’t look back.
……
"Taoist Master, where are we going next?"
Caiyi stretched out on the back of the donkey cart. She had already exhausted her energy by rescuing people just now, and she needed to lie down. Take some time to rest.
"Going deep into the dense forest, I need to send someone home."
Zuo Chen stretched out his palm, and golden light floated in his palm, like a candlelight The flickering candle seemed about to be blown out by the wind.
Jiu'e only had this idea left, and Zuo Chen planned to help him complete it along the way.
Caiyi stared at the shimmering light, curious, but did not reach out to touch it.
He turned to ask:
"Speaking of it, Taoist priest, that Sima Liang in Dongshui City is obviously setting a trap for us. Is it possible that you don't go to him to ask for an explanation?" ?”
“Don’t worry about it.” Zuo Chen said with a smile: “I made some arrangements when I left Dongshui City. Calculating the time, that Sima will almost encounter his own disaster. ”
Caiyi was filled with doubts and kept scratching his head.
I can't figure out what the Taoist master did behind the scenes.
