At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Lin Li came to the Night Snack Street in the western suburbs of Shanghai, and went straight into the private room on the second floor of an old pigeon soup shop.
In the private room, an old man with a beard, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, was drinking pigeon soup leisurely.
"Teacher, I'm here." Lin Li bowed respectfully and stood beside the old man.
The old man nodded with a smile, pointed to the seat beside him and said, "Sit down, order a bowl of soup."
Lin Li sat down, did not order soup, but took out a small box from his pocket, handed it to the old man and said, "This is the golden carp you want."
The old man opened the box, and it turned out to be two small golden carps, so he put it away and nodded, "It's costing you."
"As long as the teacher can practice the golden core, what's the point?" Lin Li laughed.
The old man said with a smile: "Taking golden elixir for my teacher is just a waste. I have collected materials for fifty years, and finally got together five sands and nine grasses. Unfortunately, the deadline is approaching. Taking golden elixir at this time will do more harm than good."
"It's a good thing that my teacher met you, Li'er, you are born to be a precious jade for refining Qi, if you swallow the golden core, you will be happy in the world from then on."
Lin Li clenched his hands under the table and couldn't help being excited.
"Stop being anxious! Stop being impatient!" the old man suddenly shouted.
Lin Liji said quickly, "I'm sorry, teacher, I got carried away."
The old man was dissatisfied and said: "It's no wonder you haven't been able to attract aura for a long time, your utilitarianism is too heavy! If it weren't for your extraordinary talent, you would be a genius born in the world, with your state of mind, you wouldn't be able to go far!"
"I'm sorry, teacher..." Lin Li said disappointedly.
The old man said: "Go, go back and meditate for three days, and when you have settled down, come to me and ask for the golden elixir."
"Oh..." Lin Li stood up, took out his wallet, and was about to pay the bill and leave.
The old man stopped it with a wave of his hand, and took out a hundred yuan and said, "Go, go, why do you have to pay for it! How many times have you told me for the teacher? You provide a copy of the materials, call me teacher, and I will grant you the golden elixir , don’t get entangled in the rest of the cause and effect. If you draw out your anger, it will be the best reward for me.”
Lin Li had no choice but to put away his wallet and looked at the old man respectfully.
I have known the old man for a month, and I know that no matter what he buys, he never asks others to pay.
It is only said that cause and effect do not owe, if you do not give, you will not take.
Even if Jin Dan was short of materials, he didn't charge him money, only asked him to prepare blind materials, and that material was a carp made of gold.
This carp was to be used on the golden elixir, and the golden elixir was finally awarded to Lin Li, which meant that he was only providing materials for his own things.
"Teacher, I'll go back and meditate right away!" Lin Li said as he was about to leave.
Suddenly, a group of people rushed to the second floor and squeezed into the box.
There were six of them, all muscular and angry.
"Old man, finally let me find you! You liar, pay back my money!" The leader of the board-inch man shouted angrily.
Lin Li was dumbfounded, the amount of information in this sentence was huge, and he was told to stand still.
Liar... Liar
Lin Li hurriedly turned his head to look at the old man, only to see that the old man took a sip of soup, put down the bowl and spoon slowly, calmly, with a calm smile on his face.
This composure immediately appeased Lin Li.
Lin Li thought to himself, I'm afraid he made a mistake, the teacher shouldn't be a liar.
He kept telling himself that, wanting to see how the teacher would respond.
"Li Quan, have you been beaten by your boss?" the old man said calmly.
Li Quan, the slender man at the head, was stunned for a moment, and then he said angrily: "It's not that you cheated me of 100,000 yuan, it's the boss's money, and the boss wants to take my skin off! Come on, give me back the money, or I will lose my money." Break your bones!"
The old man shook his head and said, "That's right, I lied to you because you have committed a serious crime! I have already donated the money for you."
"What!" Li Quan was startled and furious.
Hearing this, Lin Li couldn't help being stunned.
It turned out that the teacher was not a liar, but deliberately used a small plan to cheat Li Quan of his money and punish him!
The money is donated.
"Fucking old thing, come on, catch him!" Li Quan shouted.
Seeing that a group of people were about to rush forward, the old man suddenly stood up, raised his head and laughed.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
His voice was full of air, but it was quite bluffing.
Li Quan and the others were at a loss and stopped walking, not knowing what was going on.
"What are you laughing at, old man?"
The old man stopped laughing, lowered his head and said, "I laugh at you for not knowing real people!"
Seeing the old man's confident appearance, Lin Li also said confidently: "Teacher! Let's show your real skills and teach them a lesson!"
The old man said: "Disciple, you have been out of breath for a long time, today I will take a breath of your true energy as a teacher, so that you can understand, and use this true energy to teach these young people a lesson!"
Lin Li trembled excitedly, so the teacher can transfer his true energy to himself
Is there such a shortcut
He quickly responded: "Okay! Teacher, today I will see who dares to take a step forward!"
After finishing speaking, the old man raised his palm and hit Lin Li hard on the back.
After being hit hard on his vest, Lin Li couldn't help but fell forward a few steps, and rushed towards Li Quan and the other six people!
If places such as the front chest and vest are hit hard, people will feel stuffy and hot, and there will be a slight numbness, mixed with pain, spreading from the vest to the surroundings.
Lin Li was suffocated by the slap, but he only regarded it as a sigh of relief from his teacher.
"Ha!" Lin Li rushed forward and punched out.
"Boom!"
Unexpectedly, Li Quan slapped him with a slap, which made him dizzy and fell against the wall.
Then he was kicked in the abdomen again, Lin Li immediately clutched his stomach, spitting out his saliva and fell limp to the ground.
A strong man pinched his back collar and cursed, "What the hell!"
Lin Li was stunned, how could he be really angry, he was easily knocked down.
And what's worse is...
"That old thing jumped out of the window!" A strong man cursed.
It turned out that the old man hit Lin Li's vest hard and pushed him out. Lin Li also rushed forward and blocked the six people.
The private room was small and separated by a large round table. After Li Quan cleaned up Lin Li, the old man took advantage of the situation and opened the window, and jumped out very quickly.
All the pretentiousness in the past is to pave the way for this moment.
"Hurry up!" Li Quan immediately sent three people downstairs to chase after him.
Lin Li wanted to stand up, but Li Quan grabbed him and blocked him against the wall, yelling, "Just wait for me!"
"Hehe..." Lin Li squatted in the corner, his eyes were dull, and he looked self-deprecating.
In fact, how could he not know that the old man might have cheated him of money
But he just followed the old man's tricks. The old man was not greedy for small money, and even often let him spend money.
When it comes to refining qi, there is no flaw in citing scriptures and allusions. When he said that Jindan was short of ingredients, he didn't charge himself, but told him the specifications of the ingredients and asked him to prepare them.
If Lin Li provided a copy of the materials, then he would have a share of the golden elixir, and if he called the old man again, the golden elixir would be given to him.
Such rhetoric made him fall into the trap involuntarily.
The old man can be said to have done a full set of acting! As long as Lin Li is greedy for the so-called golden elixir, he will instinctively feel that 'the materials I provide are for alchemy elixir for himself'.
From the beginning to the end, the old man did not have any cash transactions with him, it was purely voluntary.
Thinking about it afterwards, the two golden carps cost him 8,000 yuan, and half a month ago, he had raised some precious medicinal materials for the old man, which cost him 4,000 yuan.
Back and forth, he lost 12,000 yuan, but if the old man resold those things, he would still make a profit of 8,000 to 9,000 yuan.
"In the final analysis, I'm still greedy." Lin Li laughed at himself.
Who made him love to explore those mysterious things since he was a child? He likes to delve into any strange and weird things, and he believes in the legends of qi refining, cultivation, and martial arts that have been passed down through the ages.
Even if there is a glimmer of hope that it is true, he is willing to believe it. What if? What if I miss the real opportunity
That's what he was, though he had actually considered what if the old man was a liar. But in the end he chose: Then wait until he really lied to me.
Any reminder, any old-fashioned words from others, can't stop him.
Because he didn't see the result of being cheated.
Lin Li was willing to believe it, but if he didn't believe it, he had to put the bloody reality in front of him!
The old man obviously understood his character and played him around.
"I was really counted as dead..."
