After wandering on the street for a while, Xuan Yi shook his head and sighed: "There are too many treasures on the street, but it's a pity that I don't have money. Otherwise, I would buy a few hundred pieces and go to the monsters in the mountains to test them one by one. Master, I didn't buy the Demon-Conquering Sword today. At noon Isn't it too much to eat a roasted chicken?" "Okay. From now on, the master will catch monsters, sell the money, and keep you a share of the expenses, how about it?" "This is a good master. As long as the master lets me take care of the money, don't worry. As for the Demon-Conquering Sword, I can also afford that golden pagoda." Xuan Yi happily held up the Taoist's arm.
"Little Taoist priest, little Taoist priest! Come here, come here, come here!"
The three of them were walking when an old man suddenly waved to them not far away. The three people walked over in confusion. In front of a wealthy "Ruibao Shenbingfang", the owner was in his sixties, with gray temples, wearing a green brocade robe, holding a small purple sand teapot, and squinting his eyes to look at the three of them.
The Taoist leader said: "Blessings are immeasurable. I wonder what the shopkeeper is calling the little Taoist priest to come here." "I stood on the street for half a day and saw you asking around to buy the Demon-Conquering Sword. There are thousands of Demon-Conquering Swords in my store. I will keep them to your satisfaction. . Come, come, follow me into the store to choose." The store owner said and warmly welcomed the three of them into the store. "Thank you very much, shopkeeper, for your kindness. It's a pity that the little Taoist priest doesn't have any silver today, so I won't bother you."
"Hey! It's fate that we meet. I usually respect Taoism and Buddha the most. Don't worry about money. Just treat it as my support. Come on, come on. Little baby, come in." The shopkeeper said this and pushed Xuan Yi and Xuan Tian walked to the store. The Taoist had no choice but to follow in.
Entering the store, Ertong's eyes were opened. The items on the street stalls outside are already so dazzling that it’s hard to look at them, but I didn’t expect that the store is even more luxurious. The spacious hall has white jade stone slabs on the floor, white jade carvings on the walls, and a circular dome covered with jade. On the jade wall and golden pillars, there are crystal display windows neatly arranged, and magic weapons are hung every few feet. Some are flashing with cold light, some are blood red, some are watery and fairy-like, and some are so sharp that you can feel your heart beating just by looking at them. Even though Ertong is young, he can still see that this place is full of magic weapons.
The three shopkeepers and the Taoist leader walked to the lowest row of wooden cabinets, pointed to the dozens of ordinary demon-conquering iron swords inside, and said with a smile: "Little Taoist priest, don't worry about money. I have respected Taoism and Buddha all my life, and I always support the Fang family. . You can choose as you like." Ertong was delighted and couldn't help but smile on his face. Xuan Yi smiled and said: "Master, you really agreed to the promise of not asking for contentment. I didn't expect this shop owner to be so sincere. We must fulfill the shop's merits."
"Xuan Yi, you are obsessed with money. Oh no, you are obsessed with the Demon-Conquering Sword. There is no such good thing in the world, so you don't think the store's behavior is strange." The Taoist whispered. Xuan Yi snorted: "Master, this is your fault. How can a Taoist priest be so arrogant? If you can give money to orphans and widows, others will not be able to do good deeds. You have delayed me for half a day, this time you will be sure You have to listen to me." "Okay, I will listen to you this time. But if you get into trouble, you have to solve it yourself." Xuan Yi was pleasantly surprised: "Hey, you really listen to me. Master, you are the best, you are the best in the world. The best master!"
Turning his head, Xuan Yi pretended to salute the old shopkeeper: "Old shopkeeper, you are polite. My master is a wise man. You can definitely accumulate great merit by offering us the Demon-Conquering Sword. Then we will take this sword." "Haha! Take it, take it, take it! Just take it, I like you Taoist priests the most." The shopkeeper was so happy that the wrinkles on his face jumped up.
Xuan Yi and Xuantian happily picked out a demon-conquering sword that they were satisfied with. The shopkeeper asked the waiter to bring two beautiful sword boxes and pack them for them. Holding the sword box in such joy, the two children looked at each other and couldn't close their mouths.
"Thank you shopkeeper, you are such a kind person. I will repay you tenfold when I fight monsters with the Demon-Conquering Sword. Hehe." Xuan Yi took the things and did not forget to express his gratitude to the shopkeeper. The shop owner stroked his beard and laughed: "Hey, where, where. If you want to repay, you don't have to do it later, you can do it now. Come on, tie up these three thieves!"
It was as if a sunny day suddenly turned into a thunderstorm. The shop owner gave a gloomy shout, and seven or eight strong men in blue robes blocked him from both sides. Each of them held a big sword and looked fierce. Without any explanation, they took out hemp rope and tied the three of them tightly!
"What's going on? Why are you tying us up? Let us go quickly." Xuan Yi struggled and shouted angrily.
"Humph! You little Taoist priest is not a good person at first glance. Now that you have sold two young apprentices to me, how dare you go back on your word? Now I will give you a good beating to teach you a lesson. Beat me!" When the shop owner gave an order, the big men raised their fists, lifted their legs, and beat the Taoist priest hard.
"You old furry, green-skinned old bastard, you harm good people in broad daylight. If you dare to harm us, you will regret it in the eighteenth hell. Master, don't pretend to be dead, save us quickly! Master!" Xuan Yi Seeing the master being beaten, he shouted anxiously.
"Xuan Yi, the master is being beaten and has too much time to take care of himself. Save yourself!" The Taoist shouted while lying on the ground being beaten.
"Hey! I'm pretty good at pretending. It seems like I'm going to test my own abilities. Someone's coming, someone's coming, killing someone, killing someone! Help!" Xuan turned his eyes and shouted to the street outside the store. Calling for help, Xuantian also shouted after seeing this.
"Quick, quick, shut their mouths!" The shop owner hurriedly ordered his men. Several big men couldn't find anything everywhere, so they pulled off their belts and tied the mouths of the three people tightly.
"This little girl is really smart and clever. It's not worth my trouble to trick you here. When I send you back to your hometown, I'll starve you for a few days and give you a few whips. I'm not afraid that you won't give in." The shopkeeper came up and patted you. Xuan Yi nodded and smiled proudly.
"Shopkeeper, what should I do with this little Taoist priest? Are you going to kill him?" asked a strong man on the side, escorting the Taoist priest.
"Hey, it's a pity to kill him. Looking at his fair skin and lean flesh, he is still young at least. I took him to sign a deed of sale and sent him to my mine in the north at night. He can be used as a laborer. At least he can be of some use." The shopkeeper looked at it.
Just as the old shopkeeper finished his calculations, a dozen sect warriors in red robes and black boots suddenly ran in from outside the shop, holding swords on their backs and with the word "焱" embroidered on their chests. They are the disciples of the Killing Feng Sect who are in charge of one of the four major sects in Tongshan Town, as the old man Zhukang said.
Xuan Yi's shout just now was heard far away. These sect masters were even more gifted, so they came to check on the situation. The first person to come was Ling Zhao, the leader of the Shaoyang Hall of the Slaughter Feng Sect. He was in his early thirties and carried a Haotian Golden Halberd. Although he is young, he is already famous among the four major sects.
Ling Zhao led his men into the store and saw a group of big men tying up three people. He shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Why are you tying up this little boy and the Taoist priest? Let them go quickly and explain clearly."
Seeing the masters of the Killing Feng Sect coming, the strong men were all frightened and stepped aside. The old man who owned the shop was also complaining about his bad luck. Why did someone from the sect come here by such a coincidence, and it happened to be the rigid and ruthless Ling Zhao. But since he dares to deceive people on the street, he has the ability to flatter and sophistry. He immediately bowed to Ling Zhao, cupped his hands, and cried out in grievance and misery: "Oh, oh, oh, young master Ling came just in time. I didn't mean to kidnap them, it was really a helpless move. This little Taoist priest came to my door to lie to me, saying He was not well-fed and well-fed, and was suffering even more from raising two children, so he asked me to buy these two children out of kindness and give them food to eat. So I became kind-hearted and bought these two children with a thousand taels of silver. I didn’t want them. They took my money and ran away, so I could only force them to stay."
The old man looked lifelike and was crying sadly. He looked at the Taoist with sympathy and annoyance.
Ling Zhao was also angry and pointed out to the Taoist: "Since you, a Taoist priest, have accepted other people's money, how can you regret it? Leave the child behind and retreat quickly, otherwise you will be charged with child selling and fraud." The Taoist shook his head and spat out the binding on his mouth. He pulled the rope and said calmly: "Infinite Heavenly Lord, you are polite, young knight. Please listen to the little Taoist priest's speech. Today I brought two apprentices to Tongshan Town. I wanted to buy two demon-conquering swords on the street. I didn't want to have insufficient money in my pocket, so I planned to Give it up. I don’t want to encounter this shopkeeper who forcefully pulled us into the shop and said he wanted to offer a sword. When we entered the shop, the young apprentice just chose the Demon-Conquering Sword, and he said that I sold the child to him, and then tied us up. But I never took a penny from him, nor sold him a child. Please judge, young hero."
After the Taoist finished speaking, the shopkeeper hurriedly cried: "Oh, young hero, don't listen to his lies. Judging from his poor clothes, he must be used to walking in the streets and deceiving people. Now, he has defrauded me of my money, and then After all, I really regret that I should have been so kind."
Seeing that the shop owner was really crying, everyone believed him again. Xuan Yi blushed with anger, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Green-haired turtle, old bug, black-hearted, bad-hearted, green-skinned old toad full of poisonous water. It was obviously you who forced us into the store, but my master never took a penny from you." . You are an old single-family man with a bad heart. You wanted to kidnap me and me by taking advantage of the crowd. Now that the incident has happened, you still dare to pretend to be innocent. How shameless!"
The old shopkeeper whined, wiped his tears and continued crying: "Look, this kid is so violent and perverse at a young age. He must have been taught bad things by this little Taoist priest, and he is his deceitful helper. Poor little kid. , Following such a vicious master, the future is worrying. All young heroes, please help me catch this villain and save the poor child."
"Hey! Old man, you are an actor, you are always telling lies. You said that my master took you one thousand taels of silver, and one thousand taels is equivalent to one hundred catties. But look, there is nothing in my master. Such money. Your brain is so full of poison that you can't even make up a lie!" Xuan Yi argued again.
"That's right. This Taoist priest is in rags. Where did he get a thousand taels of silver?" Everyone suddenly realized.
"That's true. You said you gave this little Taoist priest a thousand taels of silver. It's impossible to hide that much silver. Where is the silver?" Ling Zhao also looked at the shopkeeper and asked.
