Mutated Tao Chapter 31: Master You
"Sing an opera for ghosts?" Li Huowang's heart skipped a beat, as he knew from the name that it was not a good word.
"Actually, it's nothing, just go to the ancestral hall to sing in front of those ancestors."
"Since it's nothing, why doesn't Team Leader Lu do this business himself?" Li Huo immediately asked, and he knew it was not that simple.
"Oh, oh, look, this is the first time for me, I feel a little guilty, so I want to ask you, an expert, to stay by my side, so that we can do this business with peace of mind."
"Squad Master Lu, I really can't help you with this task." Usually, it's too late to hide, so there is still time to provoke him.
Although it is possible that nothing will happen, he does not want to gamble.
I and Lu Zhuangyuan are at most only traveling together, so it really doesn't make sense to try my best to help him.
If he really doesn't want to continue to be a guide because of this matter, at worst, he will go to the village and ask. There are so many people in the village, is there anyone who doesn't know the way?
"Hey, hey~ Xiao Daoist, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet, how about half of the drink money for this show?"
When it comes to money, Lu Zhuangyuan dances and gestures. "I didn't want to accept it before, but it's not a small amount of money. Then Mr. Hu is so generous! He gave me a full ten taels of silver!"
"One tael of silver is one thousand copper coins, and ten taels of silver is ten thousand copper coins! My little Daoist! Ten taels of silver! You just want to practice Taoism and become immortal, but before you become immortal, you always have to eat, don't you?" .”
Li Huowang stopped suddenly. He looked at the two bags of dried sweet potatoes next to him. He really needs money now.
And it's not just because of the food, it is also predictable that a lot of money will be spent in Jianye Town. As long as it is a world made up of people, without money, it will be difficult to move an inch.
"Little Daoist, can I beg you to be an old man? It's really not possible, how about you six and four? It's not easy to make so much money these days!" Lu Zhuangyuan continued to persuade Li Huowang with a mournful face.
If the expert doesn't come, he really dare not take this job, after all, no matter how much money you have, you will spend your life.
Li Huowang suddenly turned to look at Lu Zhuangyuan, "Is there a blacksmith in this village?"
"What?"
Led by Lu Zhuangyuan, Li Huowang was taken to the only blacksmith shop in Wuligang.
"What are you going to fight?" The bearded man with his upper body naked looked at the Taoist robe on Li Huowang's body and asked rudely.
"I don't want to forge iron, but I can repair something that can't be knocked or melted. Can you restore this thing?" Li Huowang took out the copper bell and asked.
If it can be repaired and he can summon Master You, then maybe the money can really be taken, otherwise the money will be hot.
"Can't be knocked or melted? What's wrong with it?" The blacksmith reached out to take the copper bell and shook it a few times before taking out two iron pliers. "Come on, come and give me a hand."
The large pliers were very long, and they easily penetrated into the sunken sides of the copper bell. The two of them gritted their teeth and tried hard, but the copper bell did not move at all. This result was not unexpected and reasonable.
"Hey~! That's strange. Hey, what kind of copper is this thing made of? Why is it so hard?" The curious blacksmith bent his knuckles and was about to strike, but was stopped by Li Huowang.
Looking at the two pliers clamping the bell wall of the copper bell, Li Huowang thought for a while, then poured out a pill from a palm-sized gourd at his waist and stuffed it into his mouth.
This is the elixir that Danyangzi rewarded him at the beginning. He ate one in the mental hospital to save Yang Na. He ate one when he killed Danyangzi. Today, there are only two pills left.
"Om" A burst of hot air exploded from the Dantian point in an instant, rushing all over Li Huowang's body.
He took a deep breath, grabbed the pliers on one side with one hand and pulled hard.
"Two people can't open it, and you still want to—" The blacksmith just said halfway, when he heard a creaking sound, and the shriveled copper bell was actually propped open so steadily.
When the blacksmith opened his mouth to the maximum, the copper bell also returned to its original state.
"Hey, what's the matter, let me tell you, Master Xiao Dao is very advanced." Lu Zhuangyuan showed off to the blacksmith triumphantly, as if in his heart Li Huowang was omnipotent, and he was not surprised to do anything.
Li Huowang left the village and came back to the forest outside alone.
Looking at the copper bell in his hand, he shook it with some anticipation in his heart.
As the bell rang, the dizzy feeling immediately appeared. This time, Li Huowang didn't stop, but gritted his teeth and shook it vigorously.
He felt that everything around him was spinning, and the lines of the branches around him began to twist, out of their original positions, and gradually began to condense into shape.
"There's something going on!" Li Huowang's heart was beating fast at this moment.
Accompanied by the ear-piercing ringtone, Master You, whom he had not seen for a long time, reappeared in front of him, but this time there was only one.
You Laoye looks like a mass of high-frequency trembling things made of twisted and spliced lines, and his body is completely shapeless.
Li Huowang couldn't stare at it for too long, he felt that if he stared at it for too long, he would lose it.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, he suddenly thought of something, bent down and dug a piece of wet mud from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.
The taste of mud was uncomfortable, but he still resisted to speak.
"I know you are evil?" He wanted to ask Master You if he could understand his own words, but the sound he spoke turned into a very weird melody after being processed by this distorted environment.
No matter what Li Huowang said, Master You actually responded. "Yuan Zhi."
This made Li Huowang ecstatic. With Master You's help, his strength will greatly increase!
"If you can be good, you must be good?" Li Huowang leaned forward and asked the most critical question.
Master You stayed where he was without arrogance or impetuosity, and responded slowly but firmly: "Yuan, Yanshouhu Yibang, Xing."
Li Huowang's brows gradually wrinkled. "攭攮, 櫱."
"Yuan, Yan Shou Hu Yi Bang, Yan."
When Master You continued to repeat the last sentence, Li Huowang sighed softly in his heart. Sure enough, there will be no pie in the sky, and there will be a price for driving Master You.
And the price is nothing else, but the lifespan of a person, one drive, three months of life.
When Li Huowang asked the other party again if Dan Yangzi had exchanged like this back then, Master You stopped talking.
The ringing gradually stopped, and Li Huowang held his head that was throbbing with headaches and slowed down for a while before returning to Wuligang.
"Master Xiao Dao, what are you..." Lu Zhuangyuan looked at his mouth full of mud and hesitated to speak.
"I agreed to the deal you told me just now." Li Huowang said while holding the copper bell tightly in his hand.
"Oh! That's great! I'm going to talk to Mr. Hu!" Lu Zhuangyuan was overjoyed when he heard this.
