Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 37: The Redeemer

Lu Xiafan of the 　　 casino can't be more familiar. After all, as soon as the master disappeared, he went to the casino in all likelihood, and 10% was a brothel.

　　Of course, the probability of going to the latter is low, not because he is more gambler, but because he always has a minority when he can win.

　　The guards of the casino were also familiar with Xia Fan. After asking about his intention, he took him directly to the door of the host’s room.

　　 "Oh? His master happens to be here, let him in."

　　The voice of the owner came through the door panel.

　　 The authorized guard stepped aside and made a gesture of asking.

　　What? Master is here too? Xia Fan's heart was slightly tensed, instead of imprisoning the debtor in a private cell, he took it to the owner's room...Could it be that they were using violence to force the debt?

　　He quickly opened the door and walked into the house quickly, "Stop it, I brought the ransom—"

　　 Halfway through talking, Xia Fan suddenly became dumb.

　　 I saw the casino owner and the master sitting face to face. There was a pot of boiled fish between them. The milky white soup was decorated with red peppers, which looked so delicious. There are still a few empty hip flasks in the surrounding area. Judging from the fish bones stacked in front of them, it seems that they have already passed three rounds of wine.

　　What's the situation? Why did the master who owed money become a guest of the casino instead of seeing him for a month?

　　 If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xia Fan would never believe that this red-faced and beautiful middle-aged uncle was his cheap master-Zhao Dahai.

　　 "What do you do, your kid is drinking too much? What nonsense!" My master patted the mat next to his feet, "Have you had dinner, come and have a bowl of fish soup first."

　　"Lao Zhao, this is your disciple who told us to leave you alone and promise to redeem someone in a month? Hehe..." The boss smiled and looked at Xia Fan, "I just heard people mention it before, today I finally saw it. I collected thirty taels of silver in a month. Most people were afraid that they would have escaped far too early. If you dare to come back, that's commendable courage. Yes, it is indeed a young hero! "

　　"He might as well run away." The master stuffed fish into his mouth. "Apprentice, let me introduce you. This is the shopkeeper Xiao who runs Chunxiao Street. The shops we used to visit are basically all It’s his property."

　　 In other words, this person not only runs the casino, but he also runs the brothels, tea houses and inns on the street?

　　 As a result, Xia Fan's doubts in his heart are even greater, why would such a big boss mix up with his master, and seem to be talking and laughing very happily?

　　 "Hahaha... Actually, it's not as complicated as you think." Shopkeeper Xiao seemed to see Xia Fan's puzzlement and proactively explained, "Dao Chang Zhao did owe a gambling money, but he also helped me. A big job. I, Xiao, pays attention to debts and gratitudes. If the two are set off, he is still kind to the Xiao family."

　　 After some careful discussion, Xia Fan finally figured out what was going on. There was also a brothel on Lianhua Street next door, called Hongying Pavilion, which competed with Xiao’s Ruanxiang Pavilion. At one point, the latter could not breathe. The master happened to know a set of massage techniques, which were originally used to relieve fatigue during the journey. When he proposed to teach these techniques to Ruanxiangge women and use them on the guests, the form was instantly reversed. Nowadays, Hongying Pavilion has very few customers, and people outside Ruanxiang Pavilion are waiting every day, and income is naturally rising. The thirty-two debts are not worth mentioning compared to Chunlou’s income.

　　After listening to Xia Fan, there was only one thought left in Xia Fan's mind: Is this TM okay?

　　 "Why, do you think I am at the end of my journey and I can only wait for you to save?" Zhao Dahai proudly filled a cup, "I have been traversing the rivers and lakes for decades. I haven't seen any big winds and waves, so how can I be caught? Stuck by a little frustration!"

　　"..." Xia Fan couldn't help but twitched his mouth. He had imagined many scenes of redemption. Some of them cried and expressed repentance, and some were biting their heads to save face, but he didn't foresee such a situation. .

　　 Feelings, whether or not he can test for a valor, has no effect on Master.

　　 It turned out that he was thinking too much for letting him learn the lesson.

　　 "So... you passed the exam?" Zhao Dahai suddenly asked.

　　"Yes." Xia Fan said weakly, "I thought that the master was suffering and the disciples couldn't sleep at night. After receiving the placement fee, I rushed back here day and night. I didn't expect it to be a waste of work."

　　 "Bah, I don’t know what your kid thinks about. It’s not bad to think about being a teacher once a month." The master said disapprovingly, "But since you came with the ransom, you are still doing your best. It’s just I won’t be able to travel the world with me anymore."

　　 "You seem to enjoy wandering." Seeing that he wasn't pretending to be in front of Shopkeeper Xiao, Xia Fan didn't bother to act again. "When I was so hungry that I was about to faint, I didn't mean it was for a meal. Are you willing to do it? Now that I am an alchemist in the Privy Council, somehow it will make you no longer hungry."

　　"This, this moment, that moment, when I am hungry and panic, can I believe it!" The other party glared at him, "Is it sure where to take the post?"

　　"I don’t know yet. But no matter where you go, it’s okay to find a place for Master for you."

　　 Zhao Dahai pondered for a moment and then shook his head, "No, you can go alone in the future."

　　 Xia Fan was startled, "What do you mean?"

　　"I’m used to it, I don’t want to live in one place for a long time. Let’s take a step back, it’s better to live here. There’s no shortage of eating, drinking and having fun. The girl in Ruanxiangge hopes that I will go there every day. How comfortable..."

　　 "I can testify, your master is telling the truth." Shopkeeper Xiao said with a smile.

　　 "Are you...seriously?" Xia Fan frowned.

　　 "Seriously, absolutely serious!"

　　 "In that case, then I won't say much." He shook his head helplessly, "But after the appointment and dismissal order, I will tell you where to go. In case one day Master regrets it and can't eat enough. , You can come to me at any time. Then, the disciple retire."

　　 "Go ahead." Zhao Dahai waved.

　　 Xia Fan had to leave the room with his hands.

　　 After he left, shopkeeper Xiao looked at Zhao Dahai with a sigh, "This is the first time I have seen masters and apprentices like you. Not to mention that they are like others and are as stable as a mountain. Even if they are not, they will at least pretend That’s a little bit like...you have to burn three sticks of incense when worshipping a hand in the arena."

　　 "What's the use of the pretended mentor-discipline friendship?" Zhao Dahai sniffed, "I was a close fellow the previous day, and the next day I was stabbed in the back by a tiny little profit. I have also seen many— —Pretend to be too much, sometimes it will paralyze yourself, it is better not to start. This truth, you should be familiar with it."

　　 "Hahaha... does make sense." Shopkeeper Xiao filled the two glasses and said, "But your apprentice will eventually be admitted to the alchemist, and he will be a serious court official in the future. Happy event. Putting it in another house is definitely to beat gongs and drums and put on red and colorful colors. Why do I think you don’t care too much? Could it be... you think the disciple is lying?"

　　 "That won't be true. From the moment he proposed to take the exam, I knew there would be such a day." Zhao Dahai's voice suddenly sank, "To be honest, I am not I hope he will embark on this path...become an alchemist in the Privy Council."

　　 "What's wrong with Guangzong Yaozu's business? No one else is qualified to take this path."

　　"He is different...this kid makes me a little scared."

　　"Afraid?" Shopkeeper Xiao laughed blankly, "Old Zhao, you drank too much."

　　 "Drink too much? It's too early! You haven't looked forward to him for a long time. It's normal if you don't know. I have taken him for ten years, and naturally I know the details of this kid." Zhao Dahai waved his hand, as if he wanted to vomit. Quickly, halfway through, he hesitated, "The more I teach him, the more I can feel the gap between myself and him. You don't understand the feeling, it's like, it's like—" He couldn't describe it after thinking about it for a long time. .

　　 "I understand, Qing is better than blue because of blue, he is already an alchemist, you are still ‘Dao Chang Zhao’..."

　　 "It has nothing to do with this!" He interrupted, "I can't stand the rules of the Privy Council, so I became this monk. I have also met many people who claim to be geniuses, but that kid and They are all different."

　　"Where is the difference?"

　　 This time Zhao Dahai was silent for a longer time, "Have you seen someone who is born to know?"

　　 I drank too much. Shopkeeper Xiao smiled, "Do you want to say that your disciple is?"

　　 "I don't know." He picked up the glass and drank it, "But if there is any, he should be no different. I was only three years old when I picked up the kid. At this age, I can feel angry. It’s surprising. Most disciples of the aristocratic family started to learn to get angry at the age of four or five. But he was able to draw talisman at the age of five. When he was six, he displayed a complete technique. In two years, he mastered others five to five. Things that can only be learned in six years can be regarded as first-rate in Da Shi's house soon."

　　"Also, when he talked about entrapment, he seemed to see the stars in the sky. What the **** is that! Shouldn’t you be invisible, you can only dimly notice something like a layer of tulle around him? But he I did introduce Qi into my body~IndoMTL.com~ I had no choice but to pretend to be like this."

　　 "This... seems to be a bit exaggerated."

　　 "If it's just that, that's all. He didn't know where to find a waste account book, and he wrote and painted on the back every day. Then I accidentally discovered that he remembered some things much earlier than when he said it." Zhao Dahai said faster and faster, "This means that he deliberately slowed down, so as not to look like he was learning too fast-would most people do this kind of thing? Since then, I have kept my mind and found this too. The kid’s problems are getting more and more. He is obsessed with abnormal skills, he is extremely self-controlled when he is practicing, and he is also organized. This is no longer a simple talent that can be summarized."

　　 "Is high talent more suitable for the Privy Council?" Shopkeeper Xiao was really puzzled.

　　"How can a place like the Privy Council be able to go smoothly by talent? My disciple’s temperament is either folded inside or...will become a part of the Privy Council." He sighed, "If it is the latter , The higher the talent, the greater the harm caused..."

　　 Privy Council... Is it dangerous? At best, those alchemists will be a little bit domineering, but then again, which official with a little power in his hands is not like that?

　　 The shopkeeper Xiao found that the topic was getting more and more outrageous, so he simply gave up on asking, "Okay, I don’t know the ways of alchemists. Since you don’t want him to join the Privy Council, why didn’t you stop him from taking the exam? ?"

　　"This is the contradiction of the human heart." Zhao Dahai smiled bitterly, "My talent is ordinary, and the limit of my life stops here, but the more ordinary, the more I want to see truly talented people. What kind of height can I reach? There are only a handful of things I can teach, and the only place where he can be fully developed is the Privy Council."
