Niu Youdao didn't talk to him about this, and pointed to the golden ticket in his hand, "Go to the city and go to Qiyun Sect's shop to change your sword to a good one, and buy some for your cultivation. The Lingyuan Pill."
Yuan Fang chuckled and said, "No hurry, no rush, I'll save it for you first, Master Dao."
Save it for me? Niu Youdao was speechless. He knew what the old bald donkey was thinking, and wanted to build some kind of temple. He sneered, "If you don't hurry up and improve your strength now, if the temple is built, how can you keep it if you encounter troublemakers? The mountain is not here." High, if there are immortals, they will be famous. If the water is not deep, if there are dragons, they will be spiritual. Have you forgotten what the monkey said?"
Yuanfang was stunned for a moment, pocketed the golden ticket, and went out without saying a word...
The shopkeeper returned to the front desk and sat behind the counter, thinking about the extra 100,000 gold coins in his arms, and his mind was a little noisy.
Dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind, he asked the waiter who helped him control the lower hall, "Is everything okay?"
The waiter said: "It's okay. By the way, the old dog who ran the waiter came here just now. It seems he wants to see you for something."
The shopkeeper frowned. It was a bit unusual for someone from Liuxian Sect to suddenly come to stay in the inn. He secretly asked the old dog to keep an eye on it to avoid causing trouble in the inn. Is there really something wrong? He waved his hand and said, "Let him come over."
"Okay!" The guy left quickly.
After a while, the waiter nicknamed Lao Gou arrived and squeezed into the counter.
The shopkeeper tilted his head and asked, "Is something wrong?"
The old dog whispered against his ear: "The two Liuxian Sect people are indeed a little abnormal. They are sneaky and sneaky. They have been walking in the garden before. Just now when the shopkeeper was not around, they sneaked into Black Peony. I don’t know what a group of people did inside Lei Zongkang’s house. After the two came out, Huang Enping left, but Cui Yuan was still there.”
Lei Zongkang? The shopkeeper immediately thought of Niu Youdao, stroking his beard and muttering: "What do these people want to do? Do they want to cause trouble in the inn?" His first thought was to maintain the stability of Yaoyue Inn.
The old dog shook his head: "I don't know. But it shouldn't be a problem to cause trouble in the inn. Not to mention the two of them, even if they gave the Liuxian Sect a hundred courage, the Black Peony group would not have the courage, but that Xuanyuan I don’t know where it comes from. [oM]”
The shopkeeper thought about it, but for the sake of caution, he still warned: "Call a few more people and keep an eye on these people. No one is allowed to cause trouble in Yaoyue Inn!"
"Okay!" The old dog nodded and left quickly.
That night, Niu Youdao called a few people and ordered a table of good wine and food at the inn. Together with Black Peony and his gang, it was the first time that everyone sat down to eat together.
After a brief exchange of compliments, Niu Youdao put down his wine glass and formally informed: "Everyone has a good rest tonight, and clean up what needs to be done as soon as possible."
Several people looked at each other and heard the meaning behind these words. Do you want to leave? Especially Black Mudan and others, didn't they say they would stay for half a year
Black Mudan asked: "Master Tao, do you want to leave?"
Lei Zongkang pursed his lips subconsciously at Black Mudan's title of 'Master', feeling dissatisfied. How dare someone call him a master when he was a bereaved dog
Niu Youdao nodded slightly, "Let's set off tomorrow."
Black Peony asked: "Where to go?"
Niu Youdao: "You will know when you get to the place." He still has the habit of leaving his words behind.
Black Peony nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She just murmured in her heart that she didn't know what the Taoist master was going to do. Judging from various previous signs, it was clear that he wanted to get close to Sha Huanli, but after successfully approaching, he kept his distance. .
She thought Niu Youdao was playing hard to get, but now that he was leaving tomorrow, it didn't sound like he was playing hard to get. Could it be that she had guessed wrong, what on earth did this person want to do
After the meal, Niu Youdao visited the ancient city night market and went to the Wanshoumen store to buy some moon butterfly eggs, preparing to hatch a luminous butterfly, which would make it easier to walk at night in the future.
Niu Youdao bought ten butterfly eggs at once. Each one was as big as a jade pearl. Ordinary butterfly eggs were definitely not that big.
The price is not cheap. One butterfly egg costs one hundred gold coins, and ten eggs cost one thousand gold coins.
It was a waste of money, but Wanshou Sect was also very careful in giving instructions to customers, including gifts for hatching and teaching how to control hatching.
After the group returned to the inn, they each went to their own rooms to rest.
Niu Youdao and Yuanfang were tossing the butterfly eggs there, and each took a small wooden box about the size of a palm and a half. They opened the lid and took a look. There was a faint fragrance inside, and there was a colorful paste-like thing called Baihua Mud. According to thousands of people, The animal door itself said that it was made from mashed flowers and mixed with sea mud.
The records in the "Relics of the Shangqing Dynasty" said that there must be some secret recipe in this hundred flower mud. The hundred flower mud prepared by others cannot hatch 'Xiaoyue' at all. Only the hundred flower mud prepared by Wanshou Sect can hatch. And it's very strange. I don't know what kind of screening method the Wanshou Sect uses. When the eggs sold are hatched, they are all male butterflies, and no female butterflies can lay eggs. It can be said that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has this source of wealth firmly in its hands.
Following the method of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the two of them cut their hands, dripped a lot of blood into the small wooden box, and then thoroughly mixed their blood with the Baihua Mud. Then the two of them each took a 'Xiaoyue' butterfly egg and buried it in the flower mud.
According to the Wanshou Sect, after the butterfly egg is buried, it will absorb the essence of flowers and blood. When the little guy in the egg breaks out of the ground, it will eat up all the flower mud in the box, and then form a cocoon again. By the time it emerges from its cocoon, a glowing moon butterfly has succeeded.
In short, the process is very simple, and the buyer does not need to worry about anything at all. All the complicated processes are simplified by Wanshoumen. The moon butterfly hatched in the end will recognize whoever absorbs the blood and energy.
After applying some medicine to the wound, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, each took a small sachet-like bag, packed the box, and hung it on their belts...
After returning to the house for a while, Lei Zongkang opened the door again and came out. After looking around at the door, he left quickly.
He went downstairs, walked through the garden, and came to another guest room on the opposite floor. He looked around again, knocked lightly on the door, and when the door opened, he stepped in.
The person who opened the door to welcome him was none other than Cui Yuan.
As soon as the door closed, the two met together. Cui Yuan asked, "What's going on?"
Lei Zongkang whispered: "He will leave tomorrow."
Cui Yuan frowned: "Didn't you say that he will live here for half a year?"
Lei Zongkang: "Master Cui, I don't understand what he is thinking. He said he wanted to leave, but I can't stop him?"
Cui Yuan: "Where are you going?"
Lei Zongkang: "I don't know."
Cui Yuan: "You didn't ask?"
Lei Zongkang: "This man doesn't keep his words, and the city is a bit deep. Black Peony asked, but he couldn't tell anything."
Cui Yuan thought about it for a while and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay! You go back first and notify me in time if anything happens."
Lei Zongkang nodded.
Cui Yuan went out first and looked around. After confirming that no one was there, he waved his hand behind him. Lei Zongkang quickly came out and left. Cui Yuan hid back in the house.
Not long after Lei Zongkang returned to his room, Cui Yuan, who had been waiting for a while, went out again and quickly left the inn...
In a room on the top floor of the inn, the shopkeeper is sitting cross-legged and meditating. He cannot stay in the lobby around the clock and have his own time.
Boom! There was a knock on the door outside the house, and the shopkeeper slowly stopped his work and opened his eyes, saying: "Come in!"
The old dog opened the door and came in and announced: "Shopkeeper, Lei Zongkang sneaked into Cui Yuan's room just now. After returning, Cui Yuan also left the inn. The people sent to follow him reported that Cui Yuan had returned. Liuxian Sect’s shop.”
The shopkeeper put his legs down and wandered around the room with his hands behind his hands. He narrowed his eyes and said, "What does this Xuanyuan Dao want to do in cahoots with the Liuxian Sect?"
What he is worried about now is what the general manager Xiang Ming said. Maybe this Xuanyuan Dao is deliberately approaching the city lord. I wonder if the sneakiness behind this is coming for the city lord. If this is the case, the one hundred thousand gold ticket will be given to him. He wouldn't dare to swallow it even if he had a hundred courages. But after thinking about it, I felt it was impossible. He went to the city lord and dared to sneak around at the Yaoyue Inn. It was as if he was mentally ill.
The old dog said: "Shopkeeper, I don't think it looks like Xuanyuan Dao is hooking up with the Liuxian Sect. It's more like the people like Black Peony are hooking up with the Liuxian Sect behind Xuanyuan Dao's back."
"Oh!" The shopkeeper suddenly turned around and asked, "Why do you see it?"
The old dog said: "Shopkeeper, do you think that if Xuanyuan Dao really wanted to collude with Liuxian Sect, would there be any need to put Lei Zongkang in the middle? It's not like everyone doesn't know that Black Mudan and the others have already formed an alliance with Xuanyuan Dao. They are all mixed together, why bother? Can't the two parties just hook up directly? Besides, looking at Lei Zongkang's sneaky appearance, he seems to have deliberately avoided meeting people from Xuanyuan Dao and Liuxian Sect. Lei Zongkang is alone. Then I ran to meet the people from the Liuxian Sect. In my opinion, Black Mudan and the people from the Liuxian Sect seemed to be plotting something behind Xuanyuan Dao's back."
The shopkeeper nodded slowly, "That makes sense!"
After thinking back and forth for a while, he suddenly turned around and said, "Old dog, go to Xuanyuan Road and say hello, and say I'll treat him to tea, and I'll treat him alone!"
The old dog was stunned for a moment, "Shopkeeper, you don't want to remind him, do you? We don't need to intervene in this matter. In short, we have to keep an eye on it and don't let them cause trouble in our inn. They can do the rest by themselves. We I can’t control that much, it’s none of our business.”
The shopkeeper said calmly: "Xuanyuan Dao met with the city lord today."
"Uh..." The old dog was stunned and said suspiciously: "What is the origin of this Xuanyuan Dao? Why did the city lord see him?"
Shopkeeper: "Are you involved in the city lord's affairs? Don't ask if you shouldn't. I have my own plans."
How could you let it go? There were some things that he couldn't say clearly, because he was worried that Niu Youdao would cause something to happen at Yaoyue Inn. Don't worry, the 100,000 gold ticket was just used to silence him. If something really happened, he couldn't bear the responsibility. If Niu Youdao caused trouble later, it would fall into the hands of the people in the City Lord's Mansion. If this matter was revealed, he would be embarrassed. This is one hundred thousand gold coins, not a little Pointing out money, saying it is a reward seems a bit unreasonable!
He was going to test the situation first. If something went wrong, he would immediately hand over the 100,000 gold tickets to Xiang Ming.
"Yes!" The old dog nodded, didn't dare to ask any more questions, turned around and left. ,.
