"Master, I...I was wrong." After being scolded for a long time, Lianfeng fell to his knees, his face pale.
"Taoist Priest Lianfeng is also unintentional, Taoist Priest, please don't be angry."
Looking at the "endgame" in front of him, Mao Sandao had no choice but to act as a peacemaker.
"Unintentional? It's unintentional now, but it will be intentional in the future!" Banyun tried his best to calm down his emotions, looked at Lianfeng and said, "Get up, there will be a next time, the master-disciple relationship is so strong, go down the mountain on your own!"
"Thank you Master, thank you Master."
Lianfeng kowtowed heavily and stood aside in shock, looking at Master and Mao Sandao with aggrieved expressions, and no longer dared to talk nonsense.
The scene returned to a brief calm, and Mao Sandao continued: "I want to avenge my grandfather, but I know that I will definitely not be able to defeat him, so I want to ask the Taoist priest to come out and help me get rid of him."
"This..." Banyun stroked his mustache and looked troubled.
It's not that he doesn't want to help, it's just that he hasn't been out of the mountain for a long time, and now someone suddenly asks him to go out, he feels a little uncomfortable.
The most important point is, don’t you show any expression when asking for help?
Based on Ban Yun's hesitant attitude and the "greed" Ban Yun revealed when he first saw the money, Mao Sandao had most likely guessed that it would not work to just talk, and the meaning had to be in place.
So, he immediately added: "Don't worry, Taoist Master, if you are willing to come out, I will give you a large reward tomorrow."
Banyun carefully looked at Mao Sandao's clothes, and then looked at Mao Sandao's extremely solemn expression. He felt that it didn't look like a lie. He picked up the pot and drank it in one gulp, then slammed it on the table:
"It's a deal!"
"Okay, but..."
Although a preliminary consensus was reached, Mao Sandao was still a little skeptical. He didn't know Banyun's strength. What if he couldn't kill him if he was given money?
If the person in the secret room finds out that he was the one who ordered it, the situation will become even bigger.
In the end, wouldn't it mean losing his wife and losing his troops?
Banyun seemed to understand what Mao Sandao was thinking. He looked at Lianfeng and said, "Disciple, take some pieces of straw paper."
"Okay, Master." Lianfeng didn't dare to delay, and quickly ran to the side room and brought three pieces of papyrus and handed them to him.
Banyun spread the pieces of straw paper flat on the table, stretched out his right index finger and scratched them.
It seems to be drawing some pattern.
After a while, Banyun put the three pieces of papyrus together and shook them gently. Three human-shaped paper figures were scattered on the table.
"Donor, take care." Banyun said and began to mutter something.
"rise!"
After giving the order, the paper figures on the table stood up neatly at the same time.
Mao Sandao stood up quickly and rubbed his eyes vigorously. How could a person control an unconscious paper man?
Banyun pointed at the ground: "Jump!"
The paper figures squatted down slightly, and then jumped directly from the table to the ground and stood firmly.
"bow!"
The three paper figures bent down and bowed deeply towards Mao Sandao in a formal manner.
Mao Sandao was speechless. Everything in front of him felt like a dream.
He was thinking that if he told Jiao Qiu'er what he saw today, he would think that he was suddenly stupid or mentally abnormal.
"This...this is so amazing!" Mao Sandao stared at the paper man in disbelief.
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Banyun chanted again. Black smoke suddenly rose from the paper figures' bodies, and then flames began to burn from their feet.
After a while, it turned into a wisp of dust and was blown away by the wind.
"Head of Zaoge Sect, how can he become the head if he doesn't have two hands?" Banyun stroked his beard proudly.
Mao Sandao was in awe: "At this time tomorrow, I will bring the money and come back to see the Taoist Master."
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and added: "But I ask the Taoist priest to keep it secret for me today, especially if the person in the secret room knows about it."
Mao Sandao believed that one should be cautious in everything, not afraid of 10,000, but just in case. If Banyun is not the opponent of the person in the secret room, at least the person in the secret room will not find him.
"Why, you don't believe in Pindao's strength?" Banyun smiled.
"There is no doubt about Taoist Priest's strength. Be careful with the Wannian Ship." Mao Sandao couldn't express his worries, so he could only play careless.
Banyun stood up and clasped his fists in salute: "Donor, don't worry!"
Mao Sandao followed suit and held his hands together: "See you tomorrow then."
Banyun controlled the paper man, and Mao Sandao was convinced that Banyun was very powerful. At this time, more than half of his concerns had dissipated, and he walked out of the yard directly.
After Mao Sandao left, Banyun took a big bite of the roasted goose, chewed it a few times and then spit it on the ground. He brought it up to his nose and smelled it: "It's getting more and more smelly!"
Lianfeng replied tremblingly: "Master, yes... I'm sorry, I will definitely not buy it from Xu Yuanji next time."
"My teacher knows how hard you have worked, so being strict with you is actually for your own good." Banyun looked at Lianfeng with a hint of pity in his eyes.
"I know all this." Lianfeng wiped the table and asked, "Master, do you really want to help me with this favor?"
Banyun glanced around the temple in confusion, as if saying to himself: "How come our sect has become like this in my generation? We don't even have the money to repair the Taoist temple. It's sad, it's really sad..."
"Master, don't worry." Lianfeng threw the rag on the table, "It will definitely get better and better in the future!"
Grumpy…!
"Wait, it can't be done, it can't be done!" Banyun frowned, covered his stomach with all his strength, and rushed into the small house at high speed.
Bang! Bang bang...! puff……!
After the Taoist temple was shaken by artillery fire, the birds on the tree quickly fluttered their wings and flew away.
Mao Sandao originally planned to go home to see the fur ball first, and then prepare to feed it some food.
I haven't taken care of it for so long.
But when he returned to the city, it was getting late and it was too late to go home. He just found a store and bought a bucket of instant noodles and a dozen ham sausages and headed to the bookstore.
I can’t eat that much ham sausage, so most of them are bought for Furball.
To soothe its wounded heart...
Boiled a kettle of water.
Tear the ham sausage and place it in the noodle bucket, pour boiling water over it.
Had a simple dinner.
After eating instant noodles, Mao Sandao lay on the table and fell asleep.
Recently, I have been busy during the day and haven't had a good rest. If I hadn't been able to lie down and sleep for a while in the study room, Mao Sandao was sure that his body would collapse sooner or later.
midnight.
At about the same time, guests came to visit.
Mao Sandao skillfully registered the guest information. This time the guest asked for money, just like the Japanese, for vanity.
Mao Sandao took the guests to the secret room.
Soon, all the processes were completed.
He had almost spent all his money, and Mao Sandao had already planned the remuneration promised to Banyun.
After watching the guests leave, he placed the soul bottle at the designated location and asked:
"Well... you told me before that as long as I agree to be the owner of the bookstore, I can enjoy glory and wealth. I need money now. Can you give it to me?"
"Okay, it's a hidden corner. You can see it when you get home early in the morning."
"That's not right..." Mao Sandao squinted and asked doubtfully, "Why don't you ask me how much money I need?"
"Don't worry, it will only be more, not less."
"Okay." Mao Sandao smiled slyly, "Then... thanks."
After walking out of the secret room, Mao Sandao felt very comfortable at the moment.
Using the enemy's money to deal with the enemy, and the enemy doesn't know about it, this feeling... is really wonderful!
