Late at night, Taoist Master Yiqing sneaked out of the gate of Qingxuan Temple. His footsteps were a little hasty on the stone steps, and he looked around with a sly look. At this time, there was no trace of the Taoist spirit.
After night falls, there are no people on the streets of Qingrong Town, except for the only romantic place in the town, which is brightly lit at this time, and the charming laughter of a woman can be heard from inside, gently stirring the hearts of the men passing by.
And Taoist Master Yiqing walked tightly around a dark path, turning left and right for several times. After walking a few steps, he looked back from time to time to see if anyone was following him.
Finally, after walking for a long time, I turned into a remote alley. I walked a few steps further and came to the courtyard of a simple house. I knocked gently on the wooden door.
"who!"
A vigilant and low voice came from the gap in the wooden door.
"It's me, Yiqing." Hearing the movement in the room, Taoist Master Yiqing responded quickly and softly.
The "crunching" wooden door slowly opened from both sides, revealing a man with rat-like eyebrows. His hair was tied up, but he gave people a very slovenly look. His face was narrow but slender, and he looked like a rat face. There are still a few beards growing on his chin, and his facial features look ugly, but his pair of dark eyes look particularly bright at night.
Seeing Taoist priest Yiqing come to him in the middle of the night and looking so sneaky, the man with a sinister eyebrow was a little surprised. He opened the wooden door and moved away to let Taoist priest Yiqing enter the house.
The facilities in the room are very simple, no different from those in an ordinary home, with a table, two chairs, a wooden bed, and four earthen walls. However, there is a bookcase in the corner, which is particularly conspicuous in this room.
It turns out that this sinister-looking man, nicknamed Cai Shu, is also a cultivator, but his cultivation level is not high. He usually does some petty theft, killing people and robbing treasures. All the good things he got were given to Taoist Master Yiqing in exchange for Some elixirs improved his cultivation, and over time the two of them slowly hooked up and fell in love with each other.
After closing the door, Taoist Master Yiqing waved his sleeves and pointed at the bookcase, and said mysteriously to Cai Shu, "Go in and I'll come to you to ask for something."
The ugly-looking man with stern eyebrows didn't take it seriously. His small eyes turned into slits when he frowned, and his expression was a little impatient. "Why should you make something so mysterious and go in to talk about it? It's not like you haven't done any business before." .”
After hearing this, the Taoist priest ignored the man nicknamed Cai Shu. He came to the bookcase and twisted the handle of the bookcase.
"Zhizhizhi..."
There was a heavy sound, and the wooden cabinets in the bookcase extended to both sides, revealing a large dark hole. Then the light in the room only saw the steps leading to the ground. Without words, he took the lead and walked down. , familiar with the road, it seems that he often comes to this secret passage.
The Taoist Master couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, and then stepped into the secret passage.
The narrow secret passage could only accommodate two people walking side by side. After walking for ten or twenty meters, I saw a little light coming from the front. When I turned the corner, pearls suddenly shone everywhere. There was a cave, a space of dozens of square meters. There were a lot of money and treasures packed in there, as well as some spiritual stones used by cultivators.
The surroundings were illuminated with luminous beads, and the beads illuminated Taoist Master Yiqing's body, and there was still the ethereal and ethereal aura that Zhao Jiuge had seen for the first time.
Wealth Rat was dressed in black night clothes and had an ugly face, which was even more dazzling when illuminated by pearls in this small space, giving him a feeling of jewelery.
"Tell me, what is it that is so mysterious that you have to come here to talk about it? What kind of business is there?" Finally arriving here, Cai Shu couldn't hold back his impatience anymore and complained to Taoist Master Yiqing. .
He twisted his long beard with his hand and smiled sinisterly on his face. Seeing that he had whetted the appetite of the money rat, he opened his mouth and said mysteriously, "Hey hey hey, don't you know, I found a big deal yesterday." After speaking, he just smiled to himself and did not continue.
Just when Cai Shu frowned and opened his mouth impatiently, Taoist Master Yiqing continued, "The villagers from the nearby village came to me yesterday and said it was haunted there and asked me to go and have a look. Guess what I found?" .”
Before he could say a word, his appetite was whetted again, and the smart Rat simply stayed calm this time and stopped asking further questions.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while and seeing that Cai Shu didn't ask further questions, he still couldn't help himself and continued talking.
"I found a young girl and a young man. Although they are young, their cultivation level is not low. I am not sure which family's juniors came out to practice. I saw a jade pendant on the young man's body. I couldn't see through it. , but I think it is a good thing, and the girl is wearing a hairpin on her head, which is a good magic weapon, and the surface is constantly shining."
After a pause, Taoist Master Yiqing squinted his eyes and looked at Cai Shu, preparing to ask for his opinion.
Unexpectedly, the Money Rat remained calm and expressionless. When he heard that the deal was coming, he did not react at all and was indifferent.
Seeing his expression, Taoist Master Yiqing became anxious all of a sudden and said in an encouraging tone, "How about this, you are young and it is not difficult to have an idea like this. Besides, I estimate that there are still many good things in me. If we do it or not, in the end we will split it equally. Do you still believe it after so many years? If you agree to take action, we will make a plan first."
Taoist Master Yiqing patiently continued to explain to Cai Shu over and over again, and his expression became irritable, but Cai Shu remained unmoved, meditating and remaining silent.
Just when Taoist Master Yiqing was about to burst into impatience, Cai Shu finally spoke up.
"Humph, I didn't know you. If it was as simple as you said, and it wasn't tricky, would you still want to join me in a partnership? You would have already taken it all to yourself." The Money Rat squinted his eyes and tilted his chin and said angrily. .
Hearing this, Taoist Master Qing chuckled awkwardly a few times, his old face turned red, and then he looked at Cai Shu and said sheepishly, "In this way, after everything is done, things will be 50/50, but what kind of elixir will be refined next time?" How about I give you more."
Hearing the elixir, a flush of excitement suddenly appeared on Cai Shu's calm face. His eyes were greedy and he immediately became impatient. "Okay, it's settled. Although you are a bit greedy, you have still kept your guard over all these years." You’re trustworthy, I can trust you on this, but it’s time for you to tell me the specific situation.”
Hearing Cai Shu agree, Taoist Master Yiqing felt relieved. Then he heard Cai Shu praising him. He couldn't help but smile smugly on his face. Then he calmed down his expression. His eyes were full of greed. "A man and a woman of different ages." Big, the female is probably about the same cultivation level as me, and the male is about the same as you. If you plan more carefully, you should have a great chance of succeeding.
When they talked about business, both of them became serious. After all, it is no longer a joke if you miss. Cai Shu looked thoughtful, and then pondered for a long time before saying, "You are so young and your cultivation is so high. You must be a disciple of some sect or aristocratic family." We come out to practice, what if the teacher or family members find us two after doing it? You also know that there are many magic weapons, magic tools, and items that are too mysterious in practice, and we have never heard of many things."
Hey hey hey! Taoist priest Yiqing laughed a few times.
After hearing Cai Shu's doubts, he shook his head gently, and then said confidently, "Don't worry about this. I've been building relationships with them along the way, and they should still trust me. You still have a pair of Xiang Xiang right there." Well, when I ask them to come and talk, they secretly light the incense. Even if they have deep spiritual power, they can't operate it, so what are they afraid of?"
With his eyes shining, his forehead constantly tapping with a sinister smile, and his long beard twirling in his hand, Zhao Jiuge would have been shocked if he saw Taoist Master Yiqing's appearance at this time.
"You should be more cunning. You can think of such a way." Seeing Yiqing Dao Chang smile evilly, Cai Shu also laughed after hearing this idea. While laughing, he kept pointing at Yiqing Dao with his hand. long.
No, after laughing for a while, Cai Shu seemed to think of something.
"Let me tell you clearly, you confused me again, no, the incense is worth a lot of money, and there are hundreds of spiritual stones. How can this incense be counted on me!" Thinking of how close he was to it. After suffering the loss of silence, the corner of Cai Shu's mouth twitched a few times.
"I'm going out, I'm going on a trip. We have cooperated so many times. How can you be more cheerful and care about me? You have not relied on me for so many years. How can you be like this? I'm afraid your cultivation is still in the blood-moving realm. Come on!" Seeing the angry look of Caishu Xiaojiazi, Taoist Master Yiqing couldn't help but feel a headache.
Cai Shu lowered his head, his eyes a little grateful. When it came to cultivation, he had to admit that he relied on Taoist Master Yiqing. Back then, he was just a thief who accidentally stole an article on the lowest level of cultivation techniques. By chance, , practiced to the psychic realm, and relied on the strength of his physical fitness to start killing people and robbing goods outside. He went to the market through the money market to exchange magic weapons, spiritual stones, and obtain elixirs. Because his skills and qualifications were limited, he could only be promoted to the blood-moving realm. .
In the end, Taoist Yiqing discovered him and gave himself a lot of pills to break through to the current level of spiritual transformation. Otherwise, he would still be stuck in the blood-moving realm, and after so many years of cheating with Taoist Yiqing, what happened? It was too tricky for one person to handle, but the two of them cooperated, resulting in a lot of wealth. All this was thanks to Taoist priest Yiqing.
Thinking of this Money Rat, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional. I didn't expect that from a thief who was just messing around, he got to where he is now because of a coincidence. He was very sad.
It's just that God opened a window for me, allowing me to realize the world of cultivating immortals, but closed a door for me. The problem of qualifications has always prevented me from going too far. Let alone cultivating immortals, I have even gained a lot of longevity. Not even that step can be reached.
At most, they just bully the weak, speculate, and rely on their extraordinary bodies to make some wealth and enjoy life.
For a moment, Cai Shu's ugly face looked a little lonely, a little melancholy, and a little apologetic. He kowtowed to Taoist Priest Yiqing's hands and said, "Brother Yiqing, thanks to your many years of care, I am what I am today." At this point, I hope I can still take care of my little brother in the future. If there are any good elixirs, I’ll remember my little brother. If anything happens, I just need your instructions. From now on, I, the Money Rat, will never talk nonsense.”
After finishing speaking, he paused and then continued, "As long as there is news about the elixir, whether it is the materials that need to be refined or something, I will definitely find a way to help you get it." At this point, Qiancai Lingshi is facing the money rat. There is not much temptation, he is only interested in magic weapons and pills to improve his cultivation.
Taoist Master Yiqing originally followed the path of Waidan, specializing in making friends with powerful people to obtain money, and refining elixirs to improve his cultivation.
Seeing Cai Shu's appearance and his heartfelt feelings, even a profit-driven person like Taoist Master Yiqing was a little moved. With a solemn expression, he held Cai Shu's hands and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I Will do."
For a moment, in this small room full of pearls, an old Taoist priest with an immortal appearance and a thief with a sinister look were tightly united in their hearts. Maybe it was the restraint of interests, maybe it was a temporary pretense.
No matter what the two people's true thoughts are at this time, on the surface they are enjoying themselves, and no one will destroy the existing atmosphere.
Moreover, Taoist priest Yiqing had previously pretended to deceive Zhao Jiuge and Su Su's trust for the sake of the magic weapon they had planned.
So can the cunning and greedy Taoist Master Yiqing really be so selfless and let others share the benefits he deserves? The Money Rat, who has been around since childhood, is ruthless and ruthless, and even in the face of huge gains, he will kill people and steal goods.
After all, people’s hearts are half-hidden.
