Chapter 36: Stay away from me when it comes to fighting and killing! Hey, let’s go together! Li Yuan carefully looked at the "colleague" in front of him. He was quite old, and his eyes were covered with a black cloth, and he couldn't tell whether he was really blind or not. But there was no sign of weapon on his body, and his figure was loose and slack, as if he had no martial arts skills? "The next thing Taoist priest said, should I say that I have suffered a bloody disaster?" Li Yuan looked strange. Although he was not a fortune teller in his previous life, people like him and those who work on their own are collectively called wild Taoists, so it is appropriate to say that they are in the same industry. However, although he had never told fortunes for anyone, he was aware of the methods used by his peers. When fortune-telling for someone, the first three sentences must capture the person, scare the person, and make him panic, so that you can continue to deceive him. It is said that some professionals will even check out the location in advance... "Hey...you're joking, little brother."
The old man's smile was a little awkward. Li Yuan did not continue to spoil the show, but smiled and said: "Nothing to do, since you've asked, can you tell me my fortune? However, the price has to be agreed in advance." "Of course. I only charge ten cents for a divination, and I'm honest to everyone." The old Taoist then managed to smile again. "Where is the Taoist's stall?" Li Yuan took a quick look and saw that there were many stalls outside the Thousand Eyes Temple and it was quite lively. "Ahem, where are the stalls when you are traveling?" The old Taoist coughed lightly and stepped aside: "My surname is Zhang. What's your name, little brother? What do you want to calculate?" "Well, why not..." Li Yuan took a look and saw that his brother and sister-in-law had not come out yet. There was a long line outside the temple gate: "Master Zhang, what should I call you? What do you want me to do?" "..." The old Taoist's wrist trembled, and he almost choked on his saliva, and coughed several times: "Little brother is really good at joking." "Is the Taoist priest joking with me?" Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat suspicious: "There's not even a stall. How can the Taoist priest tell fortunes? Read faces?" “…Although I don’t have a stall, I still have all the necessary things.” Taoist Zhang put down his bamboo stick, took out a wooden box from the corner and opened it. Inside were a fortune stick box, copper coins, white cloth and other things.
"I will take it out now..." The old Taoist lowered his head to take care of things, when he suddenly heard a cry of surprise: "Yu Zhen!" "Shh!" Zhang Laodao looked up in shock and almost fell to the ground. "Is the Taoist priest really a ghostwriter?" Seeing his reaction, Li Yuan knew what was going on: "It's hard for you, Taoist priest, to pretend to be a blind man to tell my fortune." During these three months, apart from sending Liu Qing to deliver silver to his home, he himself had never left the shop, but he had heard Zhang Ben mention that someone was asking about him. "As expected of a newcomer in the forging shop, you are so meticulous, little brother. I admire you!" Zhang Laodao pulled off the black cloth covering his eyes: "But I really can't see it." Under the black cloth, the old man's eyes seemed slightly cloudy, as if he was really blind. "Oh my goodness, cataracts..." Li Yuan was really impressed: "Master, you are so old and can't see anything, but you are actually a ghostwriter?" "Life forces me to do this." Taoist Zhang sighed and clapped his hands. Among the crowd not far away, there were also a few martial artists walking quickly with knives and swords in hand. "Have you been eyeing me for a long time?" Li Yuan saw a few familiar faces among them, as if he had seen them on the road before. But he did not move. At that moment, there were people coming and going in front of the Thousand Eyes Temple. No matter how brave these ghostwriters were, they did not dare to rob him in public. "I am Zhang Fangyuan, the ghostwriter of Zhelong Mansion, and so are these few people." Zhang Laodao bowed slightly and said, "It's not really a surveillance. I just want to get some information. It's been more than half a year since we tracked him for thousands of miles. It's not easy. I hope you can understand." “I understand, but I really don’t know.” Li Yuan looked at the ghostwriters including Zhang Fangyuan: "I don't even know what Nian Jiu looked like. Those of you who came to me for information are probably asking the wrong person..." Zhang Fangyuan smiled and said, "Little brother, we want to know what Qiu Da and Yu Zhen asked you when they came to see you one after another." "That year, Jiu only appeared twice in the city. Once, he killed Liu Laizi and his two neighbors, as well as a small stall owner selling spices. The other time, he attempted to assassinate Wang Luan, the owner of Lihe Martial Arts School..." Li Yuan also inquired about Nian Jiu's news. The bounty for this thief who escaped from Zhelong Mansion has tripled in more than half a year, but he has not appeared again. "Did you miss anything, little brother?"
After listening to Li Yuan's words, Zhang Fangyuan frowned slightly and said to himself: "Although Nian Jiu was an evil man from Qianjun Cave and was used to killing people, he traveled thousands of miles, hiding his tracks along the way and never killed anyone. He must have had a reason for killing people and exposing himself..." This is the reason why waves of people come to question themselves, right? Li Yuan sighed in his heart, but felt helpless. The matter of that bitch was too big, he couldn't tell anyone about it, otherwise, he wouldn't know whether Nian Jiu was dead or alive, but he would definitely die. "Boss, why waste time talking to him?" The big man at the side pulled out a dagger from his waist and grinned: "I think we need to let some blood fall first, then this kid will speak honestly..." click! Zhang Fangyuan slapped the big man with his hands, and the big man groaned, hugged his arms and stepped back. The others also fell silent. "Yu Zhen asked, so it must be true. But little brother, you said something right..." Zhang Fangyuan picked up the bamboo stick and the wooden box, and before leaving, he stared at Li Yuan with cloudy eyes, as if hinting at something: "I'm afraid you will have a bloody disaster in the near future!" Not every ghostwriter follows the rules... Li Yuan guessed the second half of his sentence and felt a little cold in his heart. A ghostwriter deals with government officials and criminals all day long, and he himself doesn't believe that everyone follows the rules. only…… "If Nian Jiu was in the city, where would he hide?" Li Yuan was a little annoyed and was thinking. There are tens of thousands of households and hundreds of thousands of people living in and around Gaoliu County. There is no Skynet these days, so trying to find a thief who is good at hiding is like looking for a needle in a haystack. "Unless we take out the broken shoes to lure him out, otherwise, we can only wait for these ghostwriters to slowly search for him..." Li Yuan sighed in his heart for the Dayun court's rate of solving cases, but he was helpless. Catching criminals is not an easy task anywhere. Even in previous lives, we often heard of someone being caught after fleeing for more than ten years... "That broken shoe..." Outside the temple gate, Li Yuan fell into deep thought. After waiting for half a day, Li Lin finally pulled Wang Juan out. After talking to his brother and sister-in-law for a few words, Li Yuan gave up the idea of going home. While there were people coming and going on the street, he quickly returned to the weapon forging shop. …… Click! A few days later, there was a rumbling thunder at night.
Li Yuan got up quietly, listened to the heavy snoring of Fatty Sun next door, picked up his hat and went out into the rain. On the rainy night, he walked quickly, opened the door with the key of the forge room, and pushed the door out from the other side. In the drizzle, Li Yuan walked quickly to the outer city government office. Seeing that there was no one around, he took out his Liuhe boots with the inner sole removed and stuffed a stone into them. He threw it towards the outer city government office with all his strength: "You all want these shoes, so I'll give them to you!" boom! From a distance, Li Yuan heard muffled sounds and loud cursing, but he did not even turn his head back and quickly ran into the rain. "I'll get back the shoes I bought for three taels of silver sooner or later!" Li Yuan muttered to himself, but his steps became lighter. With the Weapon Control Talisman in his hand, he only needed to practice step by step. He thought that his blood and energy would be truly perfected in no time, and he would be able to connect the six directions and cultivate internal strength. It's a time of prosperity. If you want to fight and kill someone, it’s better to stay away from me! (End of this chapter)
