Fantasia: The blind man at the beginning starts with playing the erhu

The breeze in May carries the fragrance of Sophora japonica.

On the mountain road, a man dressed in an unremarkable appearance sneaked along.

From time to time, I looked around, looking like a guilty conscience.

The man had a round face and walked like a duck.

Zhao Shun, he is the cousin of the alchemist in Xiaodaokou.

Serving the Zhou family at the foot of the mountain, taking advantage of his position.

He often steals some alchemy materials, refines them, and sells them on the black market.

But not long ago, the black market was banned.

Zhao Shun didn't want to lose this huge source of income, so he decided to take the risk and trade with some casual practitioners.

Without the protection of the black market, who knows what will happen.

In case a casual cultivator sees money and gets motivated, kill people and seize money.

This kind of thing often happens in the world of cultivating immortals.

Therefore, he entrusted his cousin Xiaodao who was in Wanshi Pavilion in Shushan to find a guard for him.

The agreed place is here, but why is there no one there?

Zhao Shun looked around.

"You're half an hour late."

At this time, a voice suddenly came.

Zhao Shun raised his head and saw a man wearing a bamboo hat lazily lying on a tree branch.

He holds a jug of wine in his right hand and a cow beside him.

The cow is also standing on a branch, independent on one foot.

Zhao Shun said: "My cousin...is a small knife."

"understood."

"It's my first time here, so I'm a little slow, sorry."

After thinking about it, Zhao Shun explained.

Li Pingan didn't worry too much about this issue.

At first glance, Zhao Shun was expected to do no bad things, everything was written on his face.

The wages of avarice is death.

"Let's go."

Along the way, Zhao Shun was a little worried.

"That... what cultivation level are you?"

He was worried that Li Ping'an's cultivation base was not enough, and he would not be able to protect himself in case of an accident.

Li Pingan didn't answer him, but just asked, "I will trade later, don't talk too much, trade, get the money, leave, understand?"

Soon, the two came to the trading place.

After waiting for a while, there was a sparse movement in the bushes.

The buyer came, three casual repairs.

The man in the middle is wearing a black robe, with triangular eyes and a hooked nose.

His eyes were fierce, and his face was full of flesh.

With this kind of appearance, no one would believe someone who said he was a good person.

The two burly men behind them also had a fierce look.

The three unscrupulously released the coercion on their bodies.

Zhao Shun's heart was full of fear, and his legs shook involuntarily.

To put it bluntly, he is just an ordinary alchemist.

No strength and courage, this is the status quo of most monks.

Zhao Shun didn't dare to step forward and glanced at Li Pingan.

Li Pingan took a step forward, and the pressure on Zhao Shun suddenly dissipated.

Only then did Zhao Shun say: "Well...let's start trading."

The middle-aged man said coldly, "Have you brought anything?"

"Naturally." Zhao Shun took out the elixir from the storage ring.

The middle-aged man took the goods and passed them to the staff on the left for inspection.

After confirming that the pill was correct, the three turned their heads and left.

Zhao Shun stopped it subconsciously, "Wait, where's my...money?"

The middle-aged man tilted his head slightly, and his cold eyes examined Zhao Shun like a knife.

Zhao Shun was immediately frightened by the opponent's powerful aura, and the fear in his eyes grew even stronger.

He hesitated for a moment, but dared not speak again.

The middle-aged man grinned, revealing a mouthful of crooked teeth.

The eyebrows were drawn into the temples, and there was a trace of murderous intent in the corners of the eyes.

"This is a fair deal, we pay for delivery, and prostitution for free is not advocated."

The eyes of the middle-aged man moved away from Zhao Shun and landed on the blind man who made a sound.

Li Pingan held the handle of the knife and took another step forward.

Said word by word: "Pay the money and deliver the goods, fair trade, otherwise we have to take back our goods."

There was silence, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Looking at the uncertain faces of the three of them, it seemed as if they were about to fight in the next second.

Zhao Shun hurriedly said: "...Forget it, forget it, I don't want the money."

Li Pingan frowned slightly.

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth, and he shrugged.

bass! !

Li Pingan held the handle of the knife with his thumb, and suddenly drew the knife for half a point.

The condensed cold light kept flowing, carrying a sharp coolness.

Obviously don't want to talk nonsense anymore, said in a deep voice.

"One last time, pay the money!"

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then waved.

The person on the left took out the spirit stone from the storage ring and handed it to Zhao Shun.

Li Pingan said again: "A little bit, is the number right?"

Zhao Shun was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly counted.

His eyes were narrowed, and the joy was beyond words.

"Is the amount correct?"

Zhao Shun nodded hurriedly, "Yes!"

Then he added, "It's just that three spirit stones are missing, but it's harmless, let's go."

The three casual cultivators were also preparing to leave.

"stop!"

Li Pingan's voice sounded again, "Three spirit stones are missing."

The middle-aged man's face became even colder in an instant, and his eyes were like poisonous snakes, staring at Li Pingan.

"Are you looking for death?"

In his opinion, this is not a matter of three spirit stones.

It's that Li Pingan doesn't give him face, which is provoking him.

Li Pingan was not afraid, "It's not courting death, but three spirit stones are missing, you should make up for these three spirit stones."

Zhao Shun also felt that Li Pingan was making a fuss out of a molehill, and persuaded, "It's also possible that I made a mistake in counting, and the three spirit stones are just not enough, not enough."

Li Pingan ignored Zhao Shun and repeated it calmly.

"If you complete the three spirit stones, you can still make the next transaction, or the transaction will be cancelled."

The middle-aged man said coldly, "Just for the three spirit stones?"

Li Pingan did not speak, and his attitude was firm.

.............

Call ~

Li Pingan took a sip of wine, and led the old cow to walk slowly on the path in the mountains.

"Hey, brother, what you did just now may put us both in danger, do you know that?"

There was some complaint in Zhao Shun's tone.

He was blaming Li Pingan for almost having a conflict with the other party just now because of the three spirit stones.

But fortunately, the other party gave in in the end.

Li Pingan didn't bother to explain to him at first, but he remembered that he was Xiaodao's cousin.

So, he said seriously.

"Remember! It's not about the three spirit stones, it's about the other party testing your bottom line.

You may still cooperate with them in the future. Today it will be three coins, tomorrow it will be thirty coins, and the day after tomorrow it will be three hundred coins.

They will find out your bottom line in this way, and in the end the only thing waiting for you is death. "

Zhao Shun smiled, "It's not that serious."

Li Pingan will not explain any more, and finally give you a piece of advice.

"Don't do this kind of thing again, you are not this material at all."

Looking at Li Ping'an's back, Zhao Shun snorted, completely disapproving.

People are addicted to food.

Li Pingan deeply understood the meaning of these four words.

But none of this has anything to do with him. He promised Xiaodao to only guard Zhao Shun this time.

Back in Fangshi, I happened to meet an old man who wanted to buy Magic Heart Grass.

Phantom Herb is a herb that has hallucinogenic effects.

However, after Li Pingan's processing, it became a good medicine.

The old man bought a few packs of herbs and looked Li Pingan up and down.

"Are you the pharmacist of this store?"

"Yes."

"Very good." The old man said.

"Thank you."

The old man bought the herbs and left.

"Moo!"

Lao Niu noticed something was wrong and reminded Li Pingan that there was something wrong with the old man.

Li Pingan hesitated for a moment, and didn't mind his own business.

It has nothing to do with who comes here to trade.

Two or three days later, Zhao Shun came to look for Li Pingan again.

I hope Li Pingan can continue to be his own guard.

However, Li Pingan refused and persuaded him a few more words.

Zhao Shun is not material for doing bad things.

Good words are hard to persuade the damn ghost.

Two months later, the peaceful life made Li Pingan forget about it.

It wasn't until one day while wandering around that he met Xiaodao that he learned the news that Zhao Shun had been killed.

Xiaodao sighed, "I tried to persuade him before, but he just didn't listen."

Li Pingan didn't say anything, everything was expected.

People~ As big ass is, wear as big pants.

As time passed, the business in Fangshi became more and more prosperous.

In a blink of an eye, another five years have passed.

In addition to the necessary refining medicine, Li Pingan practiced and played the erhu every day.

It is eating and drinking, making tea, practicing calligraphy, and fishing.

The days are leisurely and dull, and I occasionally go to the tavern in Fangshi to drink some wine.

After drinking happily, I will also tell others what I have seen and heard.

In the past five years, he has never left Shushan.

I thought that life would be so leisurely, but recently Li Pingan felt other partners in the store.

Including Lin Xue, things were getting more and more wrong.

There were hints of these things before.

Li Pingan didn't care too much, but after a long time of contact, he connected a bunch of small things together.

He got an incredible idea.

Lin Xue is in contact with people from the cult! ?

No, it should be said that Tongtian Peak's disciples were in contact with the cult members.

To put it more bluntly, the leader of Tongtian Peak, Lin Xue's father has a problem.

(Never again!!)
