Mutated Tao Chapter 70: Lake
"When~~ a rotten seed cracks a piece of jade, three or two~~"
"Three liang?! It's not pawn!" Feeling extremely upset, Li Huowang picked up the jade pendant and walked outside the **** shop.
This jade pendant is worth 400,000 yuan in the real world, but it is only worth 3 taels when you come here. This **** shop is really too black-hearted.
Walking out of the door, Li Huowang turned his head and looked at the plaque of the **** shop again, "This place is so black-hearted, it must have stolen a lot of money, why don't you just come here at night and grab his ticket?"
As soon as this idea came up, Li Huowang was startled. After clenching his fist with one hand and punching himself hard in the face, he strode towards the inn in agitated strides.
Returning to the guest room, Li Huowang found out the map and spread it out on the bed, and said to Bai Lingmiao who was doing needlework with a drum skin, "Go and call me Xiaoman."
Li Huowang's finger slowly slid along the south side. Before he died, Li Zhi mentioned that there are a group of black-clothed nuns in the south, and they may solve the Danyangzi on his body.
Now, Dan Yangzi is constantly affecting him, and he must find a way to get rid of Dan Yangzi as soon as possible.
Li Zhi said that those nuns were barely good people, but Li Huowang didn't believe it. After what happened before, he doesn't believe anyone now.
If you want to ask those nuns to deal with Danyangzi, you have to pay them an offer they can't refuse while ensuring your own safety.
Li Huowang looked at the Tianshu next to the Yangshou gourd beside the bed. This is all the chips he can give now.
But this is all for the future. The most important thing now is to find the nun Li Zhi said.
"Brother Li, are you looking for me?" Xiao Man, who was out of breath, came over. Except for a little redness at the corners of her eyes, she has no emotional changes.
"Where did you go just now?" Li Huowang asked.
"I went to find a bodyguard company and gave them the note of Zai Siqi's last words to take back."
"You can let other people do these things. You should hide for a while, so that the police in the town don't trouble you." Li Huowang said to her.
Xiao Man's eyes flickered slightly, and he shook his head calmly. "It's okay." Then she added another sentence. "My mother didn't report to the official."
"Oh, then come over and help me look at this picture, you are a local, do you know everything about this area?"
Xiao Man walked over and looked at the location pointed by Li Huowang's finger on the map.
"Do you know where there is a nunnery near here? The ones in black."
"Nun's nunnery? Black clothes?" Xiao Man thought for a while, and pointed to a mountain in the southwest direction with her furry fingers.
"That should be here, Henghua Mountain. I heard that Sun Yuanwai from the town went here to pay homage to the Golden Bodhisattva."
"Golden Bodhisattva! How much do you know about this nunnery?" Li Huowang collected as much information about the place as possible.
"I don't know much about it. Our family is poor and we can't go so far to burn incense and worship Buddha. I just heard that the incense is full of prosperity."
"Well..." Li Huowang secretly shook his head in his heart. This is the same as not saying, the incense of Zhengde Temple is also at its peak.
"Is there anything special about this nunnery? For example, Zhengde Temple is very effective in seeking a child."
Xiao Man thought for a long time, and finally said: "I only heard that the nuns there are very fat."
"It's fat, so what's so special about it?" Li Huowang thought for a while, and tapped the place with his hand. "Let's go, let's take a look at this place."
Li Zhi's half hanging money was replaced by dry food, thin rice noodles, and a large jar of lard. Li Huowang and his party set off for the next destination.
They are not alone, there are many people on the road with them.
From the few words they said, Li Huowang could tell that these people felt that a war was about to happen and that it was not safe to live at the border, so they planned to go inland ahead of the rainy day.
Just stop and go like this, and the crowd began to gradually decrease as they passed through fork roads.
Just when Li Huowang thought that they would be left alone again, a large piece of water blocked their way.
The breeze blowing across the water also slightly swayed the Taoist robe on Li Huowang's body.
"Is this the sea that Second Uncle said about?" Gou Wa said in surprise.
The vast water surface is presented in front of them like a mirror between heaven and earth, and the edge cannot be seen at a glance.
Li Huowang took the map away and looked at it again. "No, this is not the sea, it's just a lake, a very big lake."
Siqi has a lot of water, so it is not surprising that there is such a big lake.
"Brother, why is the water in this lake a bit dark?"
The color of the lake is a bit dark, even if you stand by the lake, you can't see the bottom, which makes people feel intimidated.
Li Huowang put away the map and looked at other people standing by the water. "Wait and see what they do."
When a small black dot appeared in the distance, the heads on the shore began to move. It was a wooden boat, and people here crossed the lake by boat.
This wooden boat looks old, but it is also very big.
"Come, come, come! Everyone get on board, seventy cents each." A boat boss stood on the board and yelled at other people on the shore.
"Why is it seventy? Last year it was only forty-six." Someone on board expressed dissatisfaction with the price.
But the barefoot boat boss didn't bother him at all, and glared at him angrily. "I'll just ask you if you want to sit or not, if you have the ability, you can swim over by yourself."
Seeing the man obediently paying the money, the proud boat boss spit on the lake. "It seems that there is going to be a war, and there are so many rules, why should I raise the price?"
"Let's go, get on the boat." Li Huowang lifted his feet and walked. In this unfamiliar land, he was not afraid of expensive, but he was afraid of other people's schemes.
The boat carried dozens of people and began to slowly drive towards the center of the lake.
People who have never been on a boat are prone to seasickness, but Li Huowang decided it was okay.
He turned to the boat boss and asked, "Master, how long will it take to get to the other side?"
"Hehe, it will arrive in two hours, don't worry, it will definitely arrive before dark."
Li Huowang nodded, looking warily at the lake where the bow of the boat was broken.
The jet-black lake looked very depressing, as if something terrifying had come out of it.
"There shouldn't be anything eating people in this lake, right?"
After experiencing so many things, Li Huowang was like a frightened bird.
"You're right, those are made up by idlers. I've lived on this lake for nearly twenty years. Do you think I'm living a good life? Don't worry, it's nothing to worry about, I will definitely do things with money .”
Hearing this, Li Huowang felt a little relieved.
As the boat moved forward slowly, the sun in the sky was gradually moving westward.
When the clouds in the sky were dyed red by the setting sun, the boat slowly drove into a large swamp of reeds.
"It should be here soon." Li Huowang looked at the reeds around him and thought to himself.
Just when he thought so, there was a "plop", and the sound of falling into the water came from behind him.
When everyone who heard the voice looked back subconsciously, they found that the boatman and the boss of the boat were gone!
"Mom! They were eaten by something in the water!!"
I don't know who shouted, causing the dozens of people on the boat to panic.
"Sit down! Do you want the boat to capsize?" Li Huowang's scolding made the boat much quieter.
He turned around and looked at his own people. "Which of you can punt?"
But they all shook their heads unanimously.
Just as Li Huowang was thinking about what to do, there was movement in the surrounding reeds.
Several small wooden boats, carrying some men, women and children with weapons in their hands, surrounded the big ship.
On one of the wooden boats, Li Huowang saw the boat boss just now.
At this moment, he was holding up a small dagger to scratch his face, and seeing Li Huowang looking at him, he said with a smile: "Little junior, hehehe, do you want hob noodles or chaotic noodles?"
