Chapter 44 Tempting Opportunities

After Yu Lie took his IOU, he walked straight outside the bank and gambling house.

On the way, he carefully checked the IOU and confirmed that it was the original that he had drawn and pledged. Then he immediately tore it up and put it in his sleeve pocket, intending to take it back and burn it.

But when he was about to step out of the bank gate, the bank clerk suddenly jumped in front of Yu Lie.

Guests, please stay!

The waiter held his hand, smiled and invited Yu Lie to go to a side room.

Yu Lie paused, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said with a smile, What's the matter? Your master is looking for me?

Unexpectedly, the waiter shook his head and replied: No, no, there is a distinguished guest in the shop. I would like to introduce him to the shop. I hope to meet the guest.

Yu Lie was stunned for a moment and narrowed his eyes. He thought he had offended the gambling house after playing high-profit, or it was something else. But it turned out that it was not the gambling house that was looking for him, but someone else.

Dignified guest?

After thinking for a moment, Yu Lie finally said, Lead the way.

Anyway, Yu Lie couldn't afford to offend him for the time being, whether it was the owner of the casino or the distinguished guest. Instead of avoiding him, it would be better to meet him face to face, with a knife or a gun, so that he could be mentally prepared later.

And before coming to the bank to repay the money, Yu Lie had already mentioned it to Luobotou and others, but at that time he only said that he wanted to pay back the interest.

The guy immediately led the way: Please!

This time I went deep into the store, and the path I took was different from the one led by the children. Not only were there no screams, but the floor of the passage was smooth, and the furnishings on both sides were exquisite. There were porcelain melons and fruits as ornaments, exuding a radiant atmosphere. Array of fragrance.

After a while, he came to a greenhouse. Before Yu Lie could see the stove, he felt a warm feeling, which made people feel comfortable.

The waiter opened the red and pink bead curtain and said, Dear guest, shopkeeper, the guest is here.

As soon as Yu Lie bowed and got in, he felt a chill coming out of his body again, like ice and fire, but it disappeared quickly, very much like the feeling he had when he entered the library.

Then, Yu Lie clearly felt that there were several eyes looking at him faintly.

Yu Lie calmed down and looked to the opposite side.

A short old lady-like figure, a big-headed doll-like child, and an old man dressed like a servant stood behind the big-headed doll.

The three of them stared at the remaining columns.

Yu Lie bowed his head generously, and then said: I wonder what you are looking for?

First, the old lady-like figure said with a sullen face: Jie Jie! Good boy, you are so brave today. You just killed a good guy like me. You are a bit brave.

Yu Lie looked at the other party, raised his eyebrows slightly, and realized that the other party was probably the owner behind the gambling house. Even if not, the other party was at least someone like Mr. Fang of the alchemy house.

Yu Lie did not panic, but instead held up his hands and said with a smile:

What the shopkeeper said is wrong. Those who come here are customers. In just a few months, Pindao has made your shop earn thousands of dollars. He is considered a regular customer. As for Taoist friend Gaoli, do you have With his fiery eyes and golden eyes, he will definitely be able to make an accurate judgment at a glance.

Lao Dan chuckled, her face suddenly changed, revealing a disgusting look of trembling flowers, and she smiled:

Well said! I have been running a pawnshop in this town for 30 to 50 years, and the most important thing is rules. Without rules, there is no place. If a customer comes to our shop to pay back money, how can he be bullied by the waiter!

My guest taught me a good lesson today! If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known that my subordinates even dared to manipulate the gambling game.

Hmph! Lao Dan said with a cold smile and bared her teeth: A bunch of rats! You incompetent guys, it seems that I need to take care of myself and clean up the housework.

After hearing this, Yu Lie disagreed with what Lao Dan said.

He didn't believe that the other party wouldn't know what was going on in the gambling house. Otherwise, where did all the life-betting Taoists in the gambling pit come from? At most, this person knew about it but didn't take it seriously, and then Gao Li Taoist took advantage of it.

However, Yu Lie still flattered Lao Dan: The shopkeeper has a sharp eye!

Lao Dan smiled and waved his hands quickly: I've talked too much, I've taken the corner. I'm not looking for you today, it's this distinguished guest!

She quickly moved out of the way, letting Yu Lie look at the big-headed doll next to her.

Only then did Yu Lie notice that while he was talking to Lao Dan, the big-headed doll on the recliner had been staring at him with curiosity on his face.

The old servant next to the big-headed doll had a sinister look in his eyes, as if he wanted to peel off a layer of Yu Lie's skin with his eyes.

Before Yu Lie could say anything, the old servant said rudely: We've brought them here. Shopkeeper, please stay out of the way first.

The old lady's face stiffened when she heard this, but she immediately smiled and fiddled with Luopa: Okay, okay, don't disturb the young master's good things! She covered her mouth, walked out of the greenhouse in small steps, and closed the room thoughtfully. Door.

Squeak, the greenhouse became silent for a moment, red light hit the floor, and the aroma seemed to be thick.

The bloody gambling fight continued below the window, but no sound could be heard.

Yu Lie looked at the master and servant in front of him. He didn't know what the other party's intentions were, so he just held his hands and listened.

The sinister old servant suddenly sneered and said:

Yu Lie, a descendant of the Yu family in Qian County, was born as a commoner. He once used his liver and lungs as collateral to borrow money to go out to the town to eliminate demons. Now he is a low-ranking Taoist boy... Tsk, tsk, in just a few months, you have transformed into the second capital. Digestion is complete.”

Yu Lie heard the other party report his information one by one, and he could tell at a glance that he had just digested the wolf-like-tiger change.

His pupils suddenly shrank.

Then, Yu Lie felt that the light in front of him dimmed again, and the old servant took six or seven steps in the blink of an eye, which Yu Lie could not catch with his naked eyes, and appeared in front of Yu Lie like a trance.

However, the old servant did not show any hostility. Looking at Yu Lie's calm appearance, his coldness weakened. He looked at Yu Lie with admiration and asked:

What kind of exercises do you practice?

Yu Lie realized that this old servant was probably not just a Taoist boy, but an eighth-grade Taoist disciple! He lowered his eyes, took a breath, and said in a deep voice:

Five Poisons Refining Zang Guidance Technique, a poison technique.

Yu Lie received the exercises from the Library Pavilion and had to record them one by one. This record must be kept secret for ordinary people, but if the old servant opposite really wanted to inquire, it would definitely not be difficult.

The old servant thought: It turns out to be poison skill, no wonder it can be so fast.

The interest on this man's face was even greater. He pointed out the window and asked again: Now it seems that even if you end the gambling fight just now, you will most likely kill the other party, vent your anger, and still be in vain. To make ten thousand dollars...why don’t you gamble?”

Yu Lie pondered for a while and then just said: It's not necessary. Gambling is risky after all. If you don't do it, you may offend people even more.

Hahaha! The old servant became completely happy when he heard Yu Lie's answer:

What a wise little Taoist boy. He is in a dangerous place like Blackwater Town, where he will die if he doesn't fight, and he practices poisonous skills. He still understands the principle of 'why take risks' and knows how to advance and retreat.

The old servant raised his hand to the big-headed doll behind him: Young Master, you have chosen another student boy. This boy is very good. Maybe he can be the leader of the Young Master's Taoist soldiers in the future.

When the big-headed doll heard what the old servant said, a happy expression appeared on his face.

Because of his obesity, it was difficult to get up, but the big-headed doll still turned over from the chair with difficulty and grabbed Yu Lie's hands, as if he was learning to do arches.

Yu Lie was stunned when he heard what the old servant said.

There were flashes of lightning in his mind, and he immediately thought of Gao Li's previous revelation to him, and a thought popped up: Could it be that Gao Li wants to win consecutively just to win the favor and appreciation of these people?

Sure enough, the next moment, the old servant Yin Zhi said again:

Young man, I will ensure that you leave Heishui Town today. I will also provide you with the qualifications and opportunity to be promoted to a Taoist disciple, and you can also go to the city to practice Taoism and study Dharma...

The old servant opposite continued to talk, promising various conditions, but Yu Lie only heard the first three, and felt a loud bang in his head, as if thunder exploded.

Leaving a remote barbaric place like Blackwater Town is a lifelong dream for many Taoist boys! The reason why Yu Lie stepped up his training and practiced the Poison Kung Fu was because he hoped to be promoted to a Taoist disciple within three years, so that he would have the opportunity to leave Blackwater Town.

But this is only possible. After all, he has been delayed for more than a year, and if he finally wants to be promoted to a Taoist disciple, he has to pass the death trial...

As for going to the city to practice Taoism, it is even more unimaginable. For example, there are only one or two people in the family that Yu Lie comes from.

Yu Lie looked at the big-headed doll on the recliner and thought:

This person is probably from a wealthy family in the city!
