Yin and Yang Taoist Code

The next day, Li Chuyi and the others said goodbye to Liang Mansion and walked out.

When the two left, Liang Yiwen thanked them profusely and tried to persuade them to stay. Seeing that they had decided to leave, Liang Yiwen said no more and presented the thank you gift that he had prepared.

Holding the 20,000 taels of silver notes, Li Chu's hands were trembling a little.

After following the Taoist priest for so many years, I only saved 500 taels at most, and I have never seen a banknote of 20,000 taels, not to mention touching it. To convert it into cash, it would have to be spread over a large area!

Well, the important stuff needs to be in the important place.

When no one was paying attention, Li Chuyi secretly unzipped his pants and stuffed the banknote into the hidden pocket in his crotch.

The money is hidden close to the bird, but it cannot be stolen by others.

The Taoist priest had an indifferent look on his face, with an air of immortality and an air of being unmoved by gold, silver and worldly things. He was even more disdainful towards Li Chuyi's approach to Qianzang, looking like a country bumpkin.

Li Chuyi was very surprised at the Taoist priest's indifferent behavior, especially when he saw the Taoist priest take out a few handwritten talismans and give them to Liang Yiwen, and in exchange for more than two thousand taels of silver notes, he was even more stunned.

Damn it, you are still young, you old liar!

As for the other jewelry, jade, and other items given by Liang Yiwen, both of them were grateful but not sensitive.

Just kidding, how can I get such a big box of stuff and my master and apprentice don’t have a white dragon horse? Hire someone to carry it?

Li Chuyi actually wanted to ask Liang Yiwen whether these things that could not be taken away could be redeemed for cash, but after thinking about the banknotes in his crotch, he decided not to ask.

The master once said that people should not be too greedy.

In the end, Li Chuyi, who was unwilling to give up, picked a pair of finely crafted golden bells from the box of jewelry and jade and hung them around his waist. Then he followed the Taoist priest and reluctantly walked out of the Liang Mansion with everyone respectfully seeing them off.

"Alas... Liang Yiwen is really rich!" Li Chuyi sighed while walking on the streets of the city.

"Humph, it's just a little bit of silver. It's just a drop in the bucket for him. You're an ignorant bumpkin and you're embarrassing me." The Taoist sneered, "Do you think this guy surnamed Liang is just rich? Think about it, he lives in Hey, can you live in that place if you have money? If there is nothing behind it, can he keep it with just money? "

As soon as Li Chu was stunned, he heard the Taoist priest continue to say: "And his wife, do you think she is from an ordinary family? Can an ordinary wealthy family be harmed by someone using these two phoenix blood mirrors? This kind of thing can even lead to me. It’s hard to see a monk, let alone an ordinary person?”

After a pause, the Taoist priest said gloomily: "Think about it, even if he runs the entire restaurant, do you think he has the ability to throw tens of thousands of taels casually? Young man, don't think so simply. The banknotes in your crotch may be the wealth of the suffering people somewhere.”

Li Chuyi was speechless. Although I think what the Taoist said is a bit exaggerated, if you think about it carefully, this Liang Yiwen is indeed not an ordinary businessman. I guess the Taoist priest saw something. He was afraid that he would get into trouble if he had more connections with Liang Yiwen, so he decided not to live in the Liang Mansion and took such a large sum of money when he left. In this way, even if he is involved in the future, the Taoist priest can still say that it is an employment relationship, you pay and I do the work.

Both of them fell silent and walked quietly on the road.

After walking for a long time, Li Chuyi scratched his head, turned around and asked, "Then where are we going now?"

"Go watch the excitement." The Taoist priest replied calmly.

"Are you going to watch the 'Five Yang List' competition held every three years?" Li Chuyi asked excitedly. The three-year Five Yang Ranking Competition begins today.

The Taoist priest glanced sideways at Li Chuyi and said disdainfully: "You're a country bumpkin, but you're really going out of your way. What's so good about that competition that broke the rankings? It's just a monkey reading a poem and a grasshopper fighting. You think I'm such a childish person as a teacher?" level?”

Li Chuyi, who was scolded for no reason, took the initiative to ignore the Taoist priest's ridicule and asked excitedly: "Then what fun should we go to see?"

The Taoist priest smiled slightly, approached Li Chuyi, and whispered: "Let's watch a group of stupid geese compete to see who falls the hardest."

Li Chuyi was confused.

Who among a group of stupid geese will fall more badly? What is the difference between this and the Taoist saying about monkeys reciting poems and grasshoppers fighting? Is the level high?

He shook his head, knowing that following the Taoist priest would always lead to no loss, so he stopped asking any more questions. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and you will know when the time comes.

"Then let's go." Li Chu straightened his backpack and said to the Taoist priest.

"Where to go?" The Taoist priest was a little strange.

"Looking at the silly goose wrestling, didn't you just say that?" Li Chu said, did the Taoist priest laugh so hard last night?

The Taoist priest's face twitched and he said coldly: "When did I say it's now? The time has not come yet, look at it!"

Li Chuyi sighed helplessly. This Taoist priest always spoke in a nonsensical way. He asked patiently: "Then where are we going now?"

"Well, everything is fine. It's still far away from night. The Piaoxiang Building and Hongxiuzhai are not open. So let's go to the Wuyang Bang Arena to find a restaurant to eat and drink first. Let's take a look. Let's watch those monkeys and grasshoppers perform to relieve our boredom." The Taoist priest was a little helpless, as if he was deeply helpless by the rule that the brothel was closed during the day.

Li Chuyi curled his lips.

Don’t we still have to watch the Five Yang List? How is this different from what I said at the beginning?

I only dare to think about this, but Li Chuyi doesn't dare to say it.

After packing his luggage again, Li Chuyi followed the Taoist priest and walked to the competition venue of "Wuyang Bang" in Nancheng District.

The "Five Yang Ranking" competition is held once every three years and is an extremely important event in Wuyang City. Whenever the Wuyang Ranking starts, the residents of Wuyang City feel like they are celebrating a festival. From the dignitaries to the peddlers and commoners, they all walk through the streets and alleys, which is very lively, like a temple fair.

The "Five Yang Bang" competition venue is a specially set up piece of land in the city, covering an area of ​​nearly 10,000 acres. It is used as a market venue on weekdays, and on the opening day of the "Five Yang Bang", it is used as a competition venue. .

When Li Chuyi and two others arrived, the area around the venue was already packed with residents watching the excitement. Li Chuyi relied on the "Swimming Fish Body Technique" he had practiced since he was a child, twisting left and right to follow the Taoist priests and arduously move forward in the crowd. During this period, he was visited by countless golden fingers and touched many times. Li Chuyi If you don't want to cause trouble, just pretend you don't know.

Anyway, it's hidden in the crotch. If you have the ability, why don't you take out the cover? Young Master, I will pinch you to death!

When they were squeezed out of the crowd, Li Chuyi was exhausted and sweating even though he was using his profound skills. On the other hand, the Taoist priest still looked like a handsome man with a calm demeanor. Not to mention sweat, he was not even stained by dust.

Recalling the Taoist priest's unknown method and the leisurely way the crowd separated in front of him, Li Chuyi could only curse "old monster" secretly in his heart.

I found a restaurant closest to the venue, and as expected it was packed. However, when the Taoist priest casually slapped a hundred-tael silver note on the head of the restaurant shopkeeper, the shopkeeper immediately squeezed a "private seat" by the window on the third floor, the highest, and even put up a screen. As a block.

Food and drinks were served one after another, but Li Chuyi's heart was bleeding.

One hundred taels, was it taken away by the Taoist priest "Feng Qingyun Dan"?

Although I am worth tens of thousands now, I can’t spend it like this!

What a loser!

Li Chuyi felt heartbroken and looked at the Taoist priest with the same eyes as a prodigal son.

"Okay, put away those worthless eyes of yours, and don't embarrass me with your stupid look." The Taoist priest poured a glass of wine, took a sip, and said calmly.

"But, that's one hundred taels!" Li Chuyi was still distressed.

The Taoist glanced at Li Chuyi: "How can you sit here without a hundred taels? Can you have a seat by the window without a hundred taels? Is there a screen to block it? You have tens of thousands of taels of banknotes in your crotch. "How can you feel at ease sitting in the hall?" After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he turned and looked out the window, "Remember, good steel should be used on the edge of the knife. You should not care too much about the things outside your body that you will not take with you in life or death. , If you are too persistent, you will lose your original intention.”

Li Chuyi thought about it and felt that what the Taoist said made sense. If he was allowed to sit in the hall with tens of thousands of taels of silver notes, he would definitely not sit firmly, so he said no more.

After looking at the dazzling array of wine and food, Li Chuyi started to make a fuss with the idea of ​​not losing money and making some money back.

The Taoist priest glanced at Li Chuyi, who was eating and drinking, and shook his head: "It's worthless."

Li Chuyi pretended not to hear. He is not a Taoist priest. Every time he spends money to order a large table of dishes, the main result is drinking. Basically, he only eats one bite of each dish on the table, and he also says that this means he has status and taste. Li Chuyi felt that this was a waste of Chi Guoguo! Waste is shameful! Fortunately, the Taoist priest also read to me some story about hoeing and the afternoon.

After chewing for a long time, I suddenly heard the Taoist priest say "eh".

Li Chuyi stopped, touched the oil on his mouth, and looked in the direction the Taoist priest was looking. He saw a dense crowd of heads, but nothing unusual was seen.

"Idiot, open your heavenly eyes." came the Taoist priest's faint voice.

As soon as Li Chu heard the words, he immediately used the mysterious power silently. As his eyes opened and closed, a faint light flashed, and the world turned into black and white again.

Li Chuyi turned his eyes and looked again, and this time he found something. In the crowd, some figures shrouded in various colors of smoke appeared dotted here and there.

"Did you see it?" the Taoist priest took a sip of wine and asked.

Li Chu nodded: "Who are they?"

The Taoist priest laughed when he heard this and said, "They are just big geese."
