Chapter 398: News of the Cerberus
But after all the rotten boneworms went out, they did not give back the news. Instead, there were more and more Taoists around them. Xiao Yu also saw many little ghosts floating around.
Two hours later, some rotten boneworms began to jog back slowly, but there was no news. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. The striped village at the foot of the mountain was like a fire dragon, wrapping the stone mountain in the middle, while the atmosphere on the top of the mountain seemed a bit depressing.
"What should I do? It seems that I'm not here. Why don't we go down and take a look?" the ghost corpse suggested beside him.
Others have not found it for half a month, and Xiao Yu doesn't believe he can meet it just now. If this is the case, his luck will probably be against the will of heaven.
Xiao Yu looked around and nodded immediately, "Yes, I'll ask the insect king to call the insect back first, let's go around and take a look."
After explaining to the insect king, the insect king flew into the air, his wings kept flapping. As the other party's wings vibrated, an invisible rhythm spread to all sides. Not long after, a rotten bone worm crawled out from the side, then lay on the ground, waiting quietly.
The insects came back slowly, so Xiao Yu was not in a hurry. He lit a cigarette and stood there, waiting slowly.
But just now, two Taoist priests in the distance suddenly lowered their heads and muttered, then quickly ran towards the direction below the mountain, looking very panicked.
"Is there a situation?"
Xiao Yu stood on the mountain, looking at the direction the two Taoists were heading, and couldn't help but say seriously.
"I'm here with the Insect King, don't run around. I'll go and see it first. I'm afraid I'll be discovered if I go there."
Xiao Yu looked at the direction where the two Taoists were going, hurriedly said to the ghost corpse, then jumped directly from the pavilion, and ran quickly towards the place where the two Taoists had just gone.
When Xiao Yu rushed over there, the Taoist priests on the mountain also ran downwards. For a moment, many people stood on the street below, thinking that these Taoist priests were chasing something.
In a corner at the foot of the stone mountain, an old man in rags was standing in the garbage dump, constantly flipping through the garbage.
On the old man, there was a somewhat ragged pocket hanging, and a dark puppy was lying in his pocket. The puppy was only more than one foot long, with ears high above his head and dark eyes, which was indeed the same as the Hellhound.
Behind the old man, several Taoists stood, whispering something, and the old man didn't say anything, and kept flipping the garbage, finding some minced meat, and feeding it to the puppy.
"Uncle, I'll buy this dog if it's sold," a young Taoist took two steps forward, stood in the garbage dump and said with a smile.
When the old man heard this, he just looked back at the place and said, "Sell, how much does it cost? I will sell it if it is right. I am a beggar and I can't even raise this baby myself, so how can I raise this baby?"
After hearing the old man's words, the young Taoist was overjoyed. He ignored the dirty garbage dump and went forward and said, "I'll give you five hundred yuan, how about it? Five hundred yuan is enough to have a full meal for a month."
A puppy is only a few dozen yuan for a puppy, and the other party gives him five hundred yuan at a time, so he can buy half a big fat pig, and he will be happy to put it on anyone.
However, the old man did not play according to the routine, shook his head and said, "Five hundred yuan? My old man can buy garbage here for a month, and he can sell it for four or five hundred yuan, but not for it."
At this time, Xiao Yu ran from a distance, stood beside everyone, and began to look at the black puppy.
"Uncle, I'll give you one thousand yuan. Will I sell it? If I don't sell it, I'll leave." The young Taoist asked again.
If it was a real hellhound, not to mention a thousand, even a hundred thousand people would be willing to give it. But the problem is that no one knows whether it is true or not. Once it is fake, isn't that a joke?
"If you don't sell it, this puppy has followed me a week ago. It's also very pitiful. If you sell it, you will be taken to eat meat, and you will suffer."
The old man seemed to be talking nonsense, but everyone's face changed. A week ago, wasn't that the period when the Hellhound was born? Then this dog might be really that thing.
"How about I'll pay 50,000 yuan, sell it to me?" Another Taoist went forward and said.
"I'll pay a hundred thousand and sell it to me."
A group of Taoists stood in front of the garbage dump, as if they were opening an auction, and each started bidding.
The old man stood there and didn't speak, but he still seemed very excited when he could see it from his face.
Xiao Yu stood behind, not offering a price, but observed the old man.
"Lin Changsheng, sixty-three years old, has no children, and lives for seventy-three years."
From the other side, the other side is not a beggar, but now it is this outfit, which makes people suspicious.
A group of Taoists bid one after another, attracting people around to watch the fun. Everyone looked at the old man picking up trash and the dog in his arms.
Everyone didn't understand why these Taoist priests wanted to buy the dog in the old man's arms, and the fake money was given so high.
"Old man, sell it quickly. 300,000 yuan is enough to repair a house and find a partner."
"Yes, sell it quickly. What's the use of that dog? Running into the garbage dump when you see someone is. It's better to find a partner to warm the bed."
A group of villagers shouted loudly next to him, which made the old man very proud.
"Okay, 300,000 yuan, I'll sell it. I'll pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in the other. Don't take it away if I don't give it to you."
At the instigation of the people around, the old man immediately agreed.
The person who paid 300,000 yuan was a middle-aged Taoist. The other party was wearing a Taoist robe and was very tall. He looked 1.8 meters tall. He was followed by two Taoist priests from years ago, which looked a bit like the master of the Taoist temple.
"Okay, I'll be the first person to eat crabs. Everyone, don't be jealous."
The middle-aged Taoist said coldly, as if he was saying hello to the people around him, asking everyone not to come and make trouble.
Because 300,000 is a big number, the other party should not bring so much cash, and the old man dared not bring so much money with him.
"Hehe, don't worry, I have a bank card, transfer it to me and I will receive it."
The old man reached out his dirty hand into his clothes, took out a hand roll, three layers inside and three layers outside, revealing a bank card and a stack of change, and then took out a somewhat ragged mobile phone.
"I have a message prompt, and I can see it after I turn it over," the old man said with a smile.
"Hey, this old man, I have prepared quite a lot. How much money is there in the card? Is it enough to buy a coffin?"
"I don't even have a cell phone. It seems that I can pick up treasures even if I pick up rags..."
An old man who picked up trash couldn't even eat, but he actually held a bank card and a mobile phone, and he was fashionable with text messages. Such a tall and generous thing really surprised Xiao Yu.
