Axiu sighed, and followed her steps.
After lunch, after taking a break, Yu Qingyao set up a stall on the street as usual, offering spells and cures to people for free.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the young beggar looking at her coldly from a distance, Yu Qingyao glanced at him suspiciously, and the young beggar walked into an alley.
Yu Qingyao ignored him and continued to listen to the patient in front of her with a smile.
At dusk, when Yu Qingyao closed the stall, a Taoist came over with a smile and asked, "Is it Fairy Yu from Zhao Guo?"
Yu Qingyao saluted with a smile and said, "I'm Yu Qingyao, may I ask what is your name, fellow Taoist?"
"Oh, my surname is Zhang. I have heard Fairy Yu's name for a long time. I have a big problem. I wonder if Fairy is willing to help?"
"Zhang Daoyou, if you have something to say, just say it, I will help if I can!" Yu Qingyao agreed in a very eloquent manner.
The white lotus is so helpful, did you make it
Zhang Daoren happily invited her to a teahouse to talk.
When they reached the private seats on the second floor, Zhang Daoren invited them to sit down.
He ordered a cup of Silver Needle Tea, which is a famous tea in the secular world of Qi State. Yu Qingyao ordered a cup of jasmine tea.
Dr. Tea poured the tea and left. It was dinner time, and there were no guests on the second floor.
Zhang Daoren began to tell Yu Qingyao the whole story.
It turned out that Zhang Daoren's master was seriously injured while fighting the demon, and he was infected with a strange poison. He urgently needed money to buy a kind of fire yang pill from Yubao Pavilion to save his life. The Huoyang Pill is worth three thousand dollars each, Zhang Daoren had no choice but to sell it with Master's magic weapon, the Ghost Collection Pagoda.
As he said that, Taoist Zhang took out a foot-high pagoda and placed it on the table.
The pagoda is shining with gold, and on the seven-story pagoda, there are jade bells hanging on each floor, which looks very extraordinary.
Zhang Taoist said with a bit of reluctance: "This is my master's ancestral treasure. If there is no other way, my master would not be willing to sell it. It's just that all the Taoist priests in this city have fallen into trouble and wanted to take advantage of the fire. I offered a thousand dollars. Fortunately, Fairy Yu came and asked her to help me. I only temporarily borrowed the three thousand dollars, and used this treasure as a pledge. Afterwards, my master and apprentice will have to pay double the price to redeem it. "
After hearing this, Yu Qingyao said sympathetically: "Since this is the case, I will definitely help. Here is three thousand dollars, you can take it. I don't want this treasure. You should keep it for self-defense."
As she said that, she really took out three thousand dollars and gave it to Taoist Zhang.
Zhang Daoren looked at her in disbelief.
Yu Qingyao said gently: "Hurry up and buy the elixir! Don't keep your master waiting!"
Zhang Daoren came to his senses, solemnly saluted him, and said, "Fairy Yu really deserves her reputation, I admire her so much, I don't want to thank you for your kindness, Zhang will leave!"
After finishing speaking, he collected the money and the pagoda, and hurried to leave.
As soon as he got up, Ah Zhen couldn't help complaining in her heart: "Master, you have been fooled, I bet this kid is a liar."
Ah Fu also whispered, "Master, that tower is just for show, and it's worthless."
Yu Qingyao pursed her lips and smiled secretly: "That's why I don't want his tower!"
Afuqi said: "Then why did you pay him back so much money?"
Yu Qingyao smiled and said, "I'm just so gullible, and I'm so easily deceived!"
Ah Fu was dumbfounded, and said to himself: "Are you coaxing ghosts?"
Ah Zhen understood, and said in her heart: "Master, is that money his life money?"
Yu Qingyao nodded slightly with a smile, and replied: "He is your supper."
Ah Zhen immediately nodded happily.
Three thousand daoren is indeed a lot, but it is only in Zhang Daoren's hands. The price of living is Zhang Daoren's life.
Of course, Yu Qingyao could expose Zhang Daoren's deception on the spot. But what about after tearing it down
Either catch them on the spot and send them to the local Taoist court for trial. Or kill on the spot, right? No matter how bad it is, he must be caught and educated in a serious manner. Does education work? Don't think too highly of education, it is often useless except to waste saliva.
Yu Qingyao is playing the white lotus. The White Lotus is compassionate and gullible. The one who is too shrewd and capable is not the white lotus, but the female Zhuge or the strong woman.
Just as he was talking, a handsome young Taoist rushed over and asked Yu Qingyao eagerly, "Did a Taoist surnamed Zhang meet you just now?"
Yu Qingyao nodded in surprise and said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
The Taoist stomped his feet and said, "I'm one step late."
Yu Qingyao asked ignorantly, "What's wrong?"
The Taoist looked her up and down and asked, "Did he sell you a ghost collection tower?"
"yes?"
"Oops, you won't really be fooled, will you?"
"What's the trick?"
"That tower is fake, how much did you deceive him?"
"Ah? I gave him three thousand dollars." Yu Qingyao pretended to be surprised.
"What? That man is a liar?" Axiu exclaimed in surprise.
"Don't believe me? Give me the tower, and I'll prove it to you on the spot." The Taoist said seriously.
Yu Qingyao shook her head and said, "I didn't want his tower. It was his ancestral treasure, how could I want it?"
The Taoist stared at her dumbfounded.
After a while, he came back to his senses and asked, "You didn't even ask for his fake pagoda, so you gave him three thousand dollars?"
Yu Qingyao nodded, and said innocently: "Yes! He said it so pitifully. I think, three thousand dollars can save a life, why not give it to him?"
The Taoist stared at her as if seeing an incredible monster.
Hold the grass! How can she travel all over the world? She is so easy to cheat, why hasn't she been cheated out of all her money? Or should I say, is it a miracle that she was not trafficked
He smiled wryly and said, "You are so generous! I'll help you get the money back!"
With that said, he was about to leave.
Yu Qingyao shouted: "Wait a minute!"
The Taoist turned around and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter? Do you want to catch him with me?"
Yu Qingyao shook her head with a smile and said, "No, I mean, don't catch him, okay?"
The Taoist was stunned for a moment, and wondered, "Why?"
He can't figure it out!
I told you that he is a liar, and you have been cheated of three thousand dollars. I will help you catch the liar and get the money back for you. But you stopped me and didn't let me catch him. Are you out of your mind
Yu Qingyao said with a smile: "Listen to me, assuming he is not a liar, and he is really waiting for money to save the master's life, wouldn't you hurt their master and apprentice by arresting him?"
When the Taoist heard this, his face turned dark, and he said angrily: "He is really a liar. He has deceived many people with this trick. I will chase him all the way and catch him, and I will never make a mistake."
Yu Qingyao sighed, and said: "Okay! Even if he is a liar, he must have some difficulties. If you really arrest him and put him in prison, he will be finished for the rest of his life."
Generally speaking, in the state of Qi, if a Taoist priest is caught committing a crime, he will be locked up by the Taoist temple to seal his mana. It's easy to lock in, but hard to get out again. Ping Tianguan's own Taoist priests will be punished more lightly, and they will have the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds after a few years of confinement. Loose cultivators like Zhang Daoren were either arrested and sent to hard labor, or sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder. The worst thing is being used as bait to catch demons and ghosts.
