Xu Kaishan is not the only one who has a clear mind and body.
After fulfilling the sheep demon's last wish, Ma Liu felt a golden light of merit and virtue, his mind became clear, his drowsiness disappeared, and his body's resentment was greatly reduced.
He had never been to Xu Kaishan's room, but only sprinkled some hallucinogenic powder into the cracks in the window.
On the street outside the inn, he used the ecstasy technique he learned from the fox demon to secretly influence Xu Kaishan and cause him to hallucinate.
As the saying goes, knowing your mistakes can make a lot of improvements.
When a person lives in the world, the most brilliant method is not to kill people, but to subdue people's hearts, make people know how to return from the lost way, and abandon evil and follow good.
This sense of accomplishment is far better than killing Xu Kaishan with a knife.
As for the red blood stone of the sheep demon, of course it cost more than three hundred taels of silver. It was a peerless treasure that even money could not buy. Lei Peng's heart was so excited when he saw it.
But the two elders in the Yang Yao family are ordinary people. For them, three hundred taels is an astronomical figure, enough to live a long life without having to suffer in the fields.
If he takes too much, he will be innocent, but he will be guilty of having a jade, and his fate will be dire.
Ma Liu watched Xu Kaishan walk out of the inn and immediately went home to tidy up.
When he went out again, he had turned into a young man wearing a moon-white robe, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a straight posture.
"Aotian, I have some things to do. I have to leave the capital for a few days. You can take care of the bookstore."
Zhang Aotian looked up, his little face was full of surprise, it turned out that Mr. Liu was so handsome.
When he heard that he was leaving the city, the child's eyes sparkled and he asked:
"Master Liu, can you take me with you?"
The child has never traveled far in his life. He is like a canary in a cage, yearning for the outside world.
Ma Liu shook his head and said:
"This trip is urgent. I don't have time to see the scenery. It's inconvenient to take many people with me. You should study hard at home. When you pass the exam, we will go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers together."
"All right."
Zhang Aotian pursed his lips and said with some disappointment:
"Then Mr. Liu, you have to come back quickly."
Ma Liu nodded, touched the child's head, and walked slowly outside the capital.
…
During the Great Yan Dynasty, a post station was set up every fifty miles for officials to deliver documents. In the past, ordinary people who wanted to send things could only go to merchants or acquaintances.
Later, when the imperial court officials were corrupted, in order to make money, low-level officials opened a "express delivery" business and habitually carried private goods, but the mailing price was relatively expensive.
How expensive is it?
Not necessarily, the cheaper ones are tens of cents, the more expensive ones are a few taels of silver, and if they are more expensive, you have to find an escort agency.
Can the things be delivered?
Not necessarily, it mainly depends on the person ordering the food.
The things belonging to the powerful remain intact, while the things belonging to the common people mainly depend on the conscience and courage of the postmen.
In line with the principle of being a good man and sending Buddha to the west, Ma Liu followed the postman all the way south.
He didn't stop until he arrived at Yong'an County and saw this honest-looking postman handing over the envelope and package to Yang Yao's parents.
Of course Ma Liu wants this red blood stone.
But he will not take anything by force, let alone be unconscionable.
Three hundred taels of silver are enough for the two elders to spend their expenses, and what is left missing is good health so that they can live a disease-free and disaster-free old age.
These are things that money cannot buy, and they are also the results that the sheep demon hopes for the most.
After thinking about it, Ma Liu went out of the city to find his family's ancestral grave based on the sheep demon's memory, and observed the surrounding mountains, rivers, land atmosphere, and Feng Shui pattern.
Having known Mr. Zhou for many years, Ma Liu had inherited many secrets of Feng Shui from Mr. Zhou, and this was a good time to practice his skills.
It took two hours to set up the formation and change the feng shui. Ma Liu was not in a hurry to go to the second elder to buy the strange stones.
In the sheep demon's memory, Xu Kaishan was not the only one to see the strange rocks.
Lao Xu thought he was doing things secretly and that no one would know about the strange stone he took out, but in fact he had been targeted a long time ago and was killed.
If Ma Liu hadn't done something secretly last night, Xu Kaishan would have been chopped to death on the bedside.
…
It was said that the two elders had received letters and baggage. Knowing that their son had sent them back through someone else, they naturally opened them and checked them quickly.
A lifelong farmer who had never seen much of the world, when he saw the red blood stone, he was immediately fascinated. He knew that this thing was very valuable, so he hid it carefully.
Looking at the letter again and looking at the handwriting on it, the two elders could only stare.
"Old man, what's in the letter?"
“If I had been literate, how could I have been in such a miserable state all these years?”
The two of them had no choice but to go out and find someone to read the letter since they had neither read nor read.
It happened that at this time, a scholar passed by the door.
But the two elders were very shrewd and knew that the strange stones sent back together were very valuable, so they would definitely mention it in the letter. If a stranger found out about it, they would be easily missed, so they simply ignored the scholar and went directly to find a literate neighbor.
Looking eagerly at the two elders walking away, the scholar's face twitched and he cursed secretly:
"Who said country people have no brains? I'm in a hurry!"
"Master Wolf, why are you wasting your time and traveling so far to get the strange stone?"
The escort surnamed Lin came out from the corner of the alley and said:
"Go directly to the postman in the capital to steal the strange stone, or intercept him on the way. It will save you trouble. I won't be able to be a bodyguard when I come out this time, and I have to change my identity. Your Majesty thinks highly of you and let you become one." The Wolf Guard, one of the Four Black Dragon Guards, is not for you to abuse your power and ruin the Lord's family fortune."
The scholar gave the escort surnamed Lin a sideways glance.
Knowing that their foundation is shallow and their strength is not too strong, these old spies are dissatisfied with being favored by someone and suddenly occupying a high position.
Especially the guy in front of me, who has made great achievements and found treasures for his lord, and can be promoted when he returns home, so he doesn't take himself seriously.
The scholar said coldly:
"Then Lao Yang is your colleague after all. A group of you travel all over the country and encounter robberies on the way. You must leave your back to other bodyguards. It can be regarded as a life-long friendship. If I rob the strange stone, how will his parents live in the future?"
Escort Lin didn't take it seriously and said:
"If you have money, just ask the postman to bring some money to the second elder."
"oh?"
The scholar sneered:
"If I don't come here in person and just let the postman carry the money, I'm afraid the money will disappear as soon as I leave the capital and be stolen by some ruthless guy."
"I really didn't realize that, Mr. Lang, you are quite serious about friendship."
There was a hint of sarcasm on Escort Lin's face. Is a wolf demon worthy of talking about friendship?
"I advise you to complete the task early and stop wasting time to avoid long nights and dreams."
"When I do things, it's not the turn of others to tell me what to do."
The scholar snorted coldly and jumped into the courtyard. With his nose twitching, he easily found the strange stone under the Tukang. He left a five hundred taels of silver note and walked out of the courtyard without even looking at Escort Lin. He turned around and left. .
Escort Lin didn't even look at the other person. He looked like a stranger and walked in the opposite direction. He looked like I disdain to be with you.
But before he walked out for long, his feet made an arc and drew a semicircle. He naturally turned around and came back, jumped into the courtyard, and took away the banknote.
"I work so hard as a spy, and even the income I earn is only ten thousand taels of silver a year. You are so damn generous..."
ah--
Suddenly a shrill scream echoed through the long alley.
The bank note spontaneously ignited without wind, and the flames instantly engulfed Escort Lin's right hand, and spread towards his arms, shoulders, chest, and body with lightning speed.
The scholar appeared coldly behind Escort Lin.
"You're just a little seventy-two earth evil spirit, and you haven't even entered the Taoist realm. Do you really think Master Lang doesn't dare to kill you?"
"Good kill."
King Wolf Hairy Bones is terrifying.
Turning around suddenly, a figure came from a distance and gave him a thumbs up with joy:
"You are good at punishing rape and eradicating evil..."
Before he finished hearing the words, Wang Lang rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.
