After listening to the drunkard Taoist priest, everyone knew that things might be a little tricky this time.
However, people still had to be saved. When the drunken Taoist priest came out, someone immediately walked into the room. This time, it only took less than a stick of incense to wait before someone came out of the room again.
And this time he was an old acquaintance of Lu Jing, the first person he met after coming to Jinghu Valley - the old fisherman who was fishing by the lake. The latter shouted as soon as he went out.
"I told you yesterday that an assassin sneaked into the valley and you still don't believe it. If I hadn't been injured by his sneak attack, I could have held up at least two sticks of incense!"
However, all the paper figures were obviously very aware of his character. No one spoke to him after hearing this, and no one even exposed his lies.
Because everyone knew that once he opened his mouth, this guy's ability to tell lies with his eyes open would inevitably lead to a long and meaningless debate, so they simply ignored him.
The old fisherman looked around and saw that no one was willing to pay attention to him. Finally, his eyes could only fall on Lu Jing, a stranger from the valley. He rolled his eyes and said, "Boy, we meet again."
"Senior, please come back and be fine."
Lu Jing did not pursue the old fisherman's original lie to him, and still greeted the other party calmly.
When the old fisherman saw this, he couldn't help but feel happy. He secretly thought that it was really easy for outsiders to deceive him. Then he came up to Lu Jing and patted Lu Jing's shoulder.
"Yes, I did not misjudge the person. Since you are willing to help the people of my Jinghu Valley this time, you will be my honored guest in the Jinghu Valley from now on."
"Yeah?"
"That's right." The old fisherman was very sure. After that, he first looked around with some mystery, and then lowered his voice and said, "Since it's an honored guest, we as hosts can't help but express our feelings... You You know there are many secrets in the academy."
Lu Ding nodded, "You know, not long after I entered the academy, I encountered a mandrill that could steal weapons from people."
"It's not a secret," the old fisherman waved, "Many newcomers have encountered that monkey. If you defeat it, it will also give you something. I'm talking about the real secrets, even the professors in the academy. A secret that even we don’t know...
"I have lived in the academy for thirty years. When I first came here, Guo Shouhuai was still making a living by giving people testimonials by the bridge. Later, I guided him to find the big opportunity he got in the academy. Otherwise, he would be here now I can't be a young prisoner in the Sitian Prison." The old fisherman looked like I am very powerful.
Lu Jingqi said, "Then why haven't you met senior? Who are you going to give guidance to now?"
The proud look on the old fisherman's face froze when he heard this, and he coughed twice and said, "Well, in the past ten years or so, I...well, it's a bit, not very convenient..."
Lu Jing understood as soon as he heard what he said. This guy must have lied too much and was banned from leaving Jinghu Valley. This allowed the subsequent disciples, including himself, to escape.
The old fisherman observed what was happening, and seeing that he couldn't hide the matter, he simply said frankly, "I usually have a childlike innocence, and I like to make harmless little jokes with people, which has led to many people misunderstanding me, but I still prioritize it." Those who can carry it clearly will never lie to others about important matters.
"I heard that your boy can't cultivate your secret power, and I feel very sorry. I happen to know a secret that may be able to help you."
Lu Jing admired this guy a little. There was a reason why he became the three plague gods in Jinghu Valley and was recognized as the number one plague god.
He obviously knows where to start to deceive people. If it were someone else here, even if he knew that this guy was probably lying and didn't believe it in his heart, in order to start the path of spiritual practice, he would probably still have to deal with it after some tangles. Just do what he said and give it a try.
Just like a person falling into the water, no matter what he sees floating on the river, he will want to catch it in his hands.
It's a pity that he met Lu Jing today.
Firstly, Lu Jing had no interest in this kind of thing. Secondly, the Niwan Palace was still full, so he naturally had no interest in the old fisherman's so-called secret.
But just when he was about to refuse, he saw the young Marquis not far away winking at him.
So Lu Jing changed his words and said, "Senior, please give me some advice."
However, the old fisherman suddenly closed his mouth again and smiled at him.
Lu Jing didn't say anything, and just watched him laugh quietly. After a while, the old fisherman couldn't stop laughing, so he could only say again, "How much do you think this secret is worth?"
"Am I not a distinguished guest of Mirror Lake Valley?"
"So I can give you a discount." The old fisherman said thoughtfully.
"Forget it." Lu Jing shook his head.
"No, no, no, no, I only need one hundred taels of silver, one hundred taels will do."
"No."
"Then fifty taels."
"nor."
"How is it possible? How can you, a first-rate expert, not even have fifty taels?" The old fisherman looked unbelieving.
"Don't say fifty taels, I still owe 488,000 taels." Lu Jing said.
He was also very distressed when talking about this matter. He only had half a year to find a way to come up with such a huge sum of money, otherwise he would have to follow Chi to refine weapons.
The old fisherman was speechless, "You have to give me some, even if it means a little bit."
When Lu Jing heard this, he took out a penny from his arms and threw it to the old fisherman. After the latter got the money, he was stunned for a while and wanted to fall out, but after taking a peek at Lu Jing, he knew that the old fisherman would not come up with more money. More money is coming.
In the end, I could only let out a long sigh, put away the penny, and said with some reluctance, "Forget it, no one can enter Jinghu Valley except you, so I can only give you an advantage.
"There is a pool ten miles west of the maple forest. Take a black fish and a white fish there between your childhood and your childhood. Put the black fish into the pool and keep the white fish by your side. Then there will be an opportunity. Let's go there. It’s not impossible to follow the path of spiritual practice, and you will come to thank me later.”
After the old fisherman finished speaking, he went to meditate with satisfaction.
After a while, the young Marquis came over and said to Lu Jing, "What did he just say to you?"
"He told me that he had an opportunity and wanted to sell it to me for a penny." Lu Jing said truthfully.
The little Marquis had an expected look on his face, and then he pointed to his chest with Lu Jing, "Lao Qiu is sick here. If he doesn't lie to one person every day, he won't be able to eat well, and he won't be able to sleep well. , it’s rare that he’s willing to help this time, just listen to his nonsense for once, otherwise he probably won’t be able to meditate honestly.”
After a pause, the young Marquis continued, "But you must remember, no matter what he says, no matter how true it is, you must not believe it or act on it."
