Chapter 34 The Bad Taoist

Xiaoqian was wearing countless talismans on her body, and sat upright on the chair without daring to move, just like the bride before getting married. The reason why she did this was because she was afraid that the talismans on her body would fall out one or two, and she was afraid that she would encounter something unclean to cause failure.

I looked at my watch and it was 6:30 pm now, and there were still several hours before 12 o'clock. I couldn't help but stretch and said, "It feels really bad to wait for someone to come and fight!"

Su Jing said: "You know it's not good either. This is what our federal continent is now."

I smiled and said, "You don't have to keep slandering. As long as you do what you should do according to regulations, I will naturally go back with you."

Xiaoqian sat on the chair and cried and said, "Brother Xiaolong, no matter what the result is today, I will thank you."

I said inexplicably: "What are you saying?"

Xiaoqian said softly: "To everyone, I was just a stranger a few days ago. Why are you willing to do your best to help me?"

I shrugged and said, "You can't just watch you die before us."

Old Wu also said, "Girl, don't be too careful. Since we are destined to meet, we can help you, let alone I didn't do much effort."

Kim Seung-budao: "Yes, practice is lonely, and it's good to be able to take some adventures in the middle."

Liu Laoliu took the bucket of noodles and said while eating, "You are all very enlightened, but I am forced."

I was really bored and said, "Let's have some entertainment activities. Who of you has poker?"

Liu Laoliu said: "I have it." Didn't he have it? This thing is also a tool for fraud for him. To put it nicely, it is a means of making a living.

Liu Laoliu took out a deck of cards from his bag, first put six heads in front of Xiaoqian, and said in a daze: "Believe it or not, if you choose any card, I will know what you choose. I will exchange it for you later."

Xiaoqian shook her head and said, "I don't believe it."

"Okay, you choose one, don't tell me, you promise I'll start changing cards."

Xiaoqian stared at the poker on the table and said, "Okay."

Liu Laoliu put away all the six cards and muttered: "Heaven and the earth are spiritual, and the Taishang Laojun shows his god..."

Although everyone present knew the mystery of his trick, no one said it out loud. They all hoped that Xiaoqian could use it to distract herself and would no longer be so anxious.

Liu Laoliu muttered for a while and shouted loudly: "Change!" Then he pointed to the cards on the table and said proudly, "Did you see, have you seen it? The card you just chose disappeared, right?"

Xiaoqian glanced at it and giggled, "Of course it's gone, you replaced all 6 photos."

We were also surprised. Although the principle of this trick is simple, few people who play it for the first time can think through the key points. Xiaoqian was not fooled?

I couldn't help laughing when I looked at the table. It turned out that there were 3, 4 cards and 2 cards in the new card codes of Liu Laoliu. As long as I was not a blind man, anyone could see through it at a glance.

Liu Lao Liu slapped his head: "I've been fooled."

Xiaoqian laughed again.

I also smiled and said, "Come on, 5 people can play poker."

Xiaoqian was afraid of getting rid of the talisman on her body, so she hurriedly said, "I won't play."

Su Jing said with his hands behind his back: "I don't play either."

I gave her a blank look and said, "It's just right if you don't play, then the four of us will play against each other."

After drawing cards, Lao Wu and I and Lao Liu, while reshuffling the cards, said thief: "Does it contain blood or not?"

I said: "Lose one household for 10 yuan."

Liu Laoliu said: "I won, don't have money. Can you let me go?"

Kim Seong-woo smiled and said, "Master Six, if you want to win their money, I will do my best to help you, but if you say that, I will only be able to hold you back. If I let you go, you don't think you can win, right?"

Liu Laoliu was stunned and then sighed, "Winning money, you should make some living expenses for yourself before dying."

After the war started, the situation was very unfavorable to Lao Wu and me. Lao Wu was not good at all. Liu Lao Liu and Jin Chengwu were both smart and thief. I couldn't help myself. I lost to Liu Lao Liu for more than 100 yuan after playing a few games. The old guy was still worried at first, and he became more and more energetic as he played. In the end, he was so excited that his back teeth were exposed. I held the card and said to him, "You can go if you win again."

Liu Laoliu struggled to throw out two cards and said firmly: "You're leaving now!"

As expected, the time passed much faster. After a while, it was 9:00. At this time, a person came in and saw us playing cards. The man walked straight to the counter and smiled: "I stay in the hotel."

If it were normal, I wouldn't have time to be happy, but today's situation is special and no one knows what will happen at night. When an outsider moves in, it will cause us great inconvenience, so I hesitate.

The man looked at me and said, "What's wrong? Isn't it all full, right?"

I stood up and reluctantly walked behind the counter: "How many days do I stay?"

"Live for two days first." This is a man in his 30s, with a medium-sized figure, with small eyes but very bright, with straight eyebrows and a calm smile, showing the charm of a mature man. After he said this, he stood there and stopped moving. I asked carefully: "You... are you rich?"

"Oh." The man then realized and hurriedly took out his wallet. Not only did he have money, he also took the initiative to give me his ID card.

I was so moved that I almost cried! How long hasn't started this kind of business? This is the first time I have seen customers' money in more than a month!

My attitude immediately changed by 180 degrees, and said with a good look: "We will have 100 this day, and the deposit will be 100..."

Before I could say 15% off, the man immediately said, "No problem, please issue the invoice."

I quickly issued a ticket and handed it to him: "Your room is on 206 on the 2nd floor. If you have any questions, you can find me at any time."

The man smiled at me: "Okay, I'll just go up by myself." He picked up his small luggage, walked to the stairs and glanced at our table, and looked at Xiaoqian suddenly smiled and said: "How many times did this little girl lose? This is what you posted to me." After that, he went upstairs without waiting for someone to deal with him.

I winked at Xiaoqian and said, "That person is interesting to you - lock the door tonight."

Xiaoqian blushed and said, "Brother Xiaolong is just talking nonsense." They are classical women who can't stand joking like this.

Kim Seung-woo poked Lao Wu: "Is that person weird just now?"

Old Wu said: "I don't feel anything about you?"

Kim Seung-budao: "I just wonder what purpose he has for staying in this wilderness for two days."

I said, "You can finally meet someone who can afford to pay the house and you doubt their purpose. Together, the whole world should eat and live for free like you?"

Liu Laoliu was in high spirits and kept urging us: "Play cards, I won."

I said in surprise: "What card do you win?"

Liu Laoliu said: "We two bring one 8."

I spread out the cards in my hand: "I have three 2s here, where did you get two 2s?"

Liu Laoliu suddenly squandered all the cards and laughed: "That's the top hand, this hand doesn't count, start over."

When I was playing until 11 o'clock, I threw the card and said, "It's almost time, let's prepare too."

Actually, there was nothing to prepare. It was nothing more than talking with Xiaoqian. Xiaoqian was so nervous that she didn't move and sat upright. I poured a glass of water and held it in front of her and said, "Don't be afraid, drink some water."

Xiaoqian sniffed my hand and smiled softly: "Thank you, Brother Xiaolong, I'm not afraid."

When the needle was pointing at 12 o'clock, we all sat upright. Kim Seung-woo looked at the pretty Xiaoqian and said, "Why haven't the other party moved yet?"

I joked, "Maybe his watch was a minute slower."

As soon as I finished speaking, a talisman on Xiaoqian's chest suddenly shone brightly, and turned into ashes in an instant. Old Wu said in horror: "The Soul-Retention Order is Coming!"

I shook Xiaoqian and said, "How are you?"

Xiaoqian looked down at herself blankly and said, "I'm fine."

Old Wu slapped Liu Laoliu excitedly: "Your talisman works!"

Liu Laoliu was also very excited, but he pretended to be confident on the surface and said, "I'll just say that my father can't fool me."

At this moment, a talisman on Xiaoqian's head turned into ashes for a moment, and Lao Wu said, "One more!"

I was worried and said, "This is not a solution. What if there is a series of messages over there?"

Liu Laoliu said: "I read the book and said that if the three soul-detaining talismans cannot be detained within 12 hours, they will not be detained anymore." He said this, but he could not feel at a loss at first glance.

We looked at Xiaoqian nervously together. After about 5 minutes, another talisman curled up on Xiaoqian's chest and turned into a stream of blue smoke. None of us spoke, and our eyes stared at the talismans elsewhere on Xiaoqian's body for a moment. The next time was a long time of silence. Apart from the ticking of the wall clock, there was no movement. Five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and 15 minutes later, we looked at each other and suddenly cheered at the same time.

I took Liu Lao Liu and said, "You really have you, an old liar!"

Liu Laoliu glared at me: "Be careful when you speak, I'm..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud voice in the sky outside, saying: "Why did the three soul-detention orders come back without any help? It turned out that a fellow Taoist attacked him here. I wonder if he could come out for a while?"

When we heard this, we rushed to the door. When I looked up, I saw a tall middle-aged Taoist man standing on a long sword out of the sheath in the air three or four meters above the ground. This man was wearing a Taoist robe with golden silk, a purple gold Taoist crown, three wisps of ink beard floating on his chest, and a long sword box depicting dragons and phoenixes on his back. In addition to one of the slots in the box, there was also a slot with a long sword in it. Judging from the momentum and clothing that emerged, this person was not an ordinary person.

The man looked down at us and walked out with a condescending look, and sneered: "I didn't expect this little place to be a place where dirt is hidden."

Kim Seong-woo said angrily: "What does it mean to hide dirt?"

The Taoist actually disdained to talk to him, his eyes swept across us one by one, and only stayed on me for a moment before turning away. He said a little hesitantly: "A thousand-year-old tree demon, a divine bird Houyi, I have seen you two, and there is also a waste who has no magic power for some reason after the disaster. So who is the one who has taken action to stop my Soul Detention Order this time?"

I was shocked. This man's eyesight was so powerful. He was obviously higher than Old Wu and Jin Chengwu. However, this grandson's words hurt people made me very angry. However, looking at the other person's attitude, I had to swallow and scold him in my heart and give up. I looked at Su Jing. She just poked it with expressionless expression, as if it was nothing to do with him.

The Taoist asked, seeing no one answered, and said more cautiously: "I wonder if any fellow practitioner is here, can you show up to meet?"

Liu Laoliu gritted his teeth and stood forward for a small walk: "It's me."

"Oh?" The Taoist looked at the sloppy Liu Laoliu, without any care, and said intently: "Can fellow Taoist be called a master?"

Liu Laoliu said carelessly: "I am the 33rd generation descendant of Maoshan."

When the Taoist heard this, he quickly pinched a sword technique and landed on the ground. The sword under his feet drew a strange circle and drilled into the sword box behind him. The Taoist put one hand on his chest and bowed to Liu Laoliu and said, "My younger generation, Li Huai, there is a nickname of 'bad Taoist' in the world. Before he met this... it was wrong!" Li Huai said this and quickly straightened his waist and looked at Liu Laoliu suspiciously, "Maoshan has been passed down from 73 generations since Tao Zu opened the mountain. How could you be the 33 generation descendant? Could it be that you have cultivated to immortality?"

Liu Laoliu smiled and said, "You are very clear about our Maoshan history."

Li Huai said: "That's because not only I am also from the Maoshan School, but I am now the master of Maoshan Temple. Even if you are really the 33rd generation descendant, you should still pay tribute to me."
