The newly opened embroidery village needs someone to sit in before it can be mastered.On this day, it was Wei Xi's turn.Pass through an alley."
Stinky Taoist, you can pretend to be a ghost, get out of here.Otherwise, Lao Tzu will beat you once when he sees you. ”The carriage stopped suddenly, and Wei Xi, who was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed, leaned forward suddenly, and hurriedly held on to the wall of the carriage before he sat down.The carriage door was hurriedly opened by Xiao Qi, who was rushing to the car, "Second Miss, are you okay?"
”Wei Xi shook his head, "What's wrong?"
”"A family in front of Fang Huang suddenly threw out three people, one big and two small, dressed as Taoist priests, and fell right in front of the carriage."
Wei Xi had already looked towards the front of the carriage when he heard this.I saw a young man in a crumpled robe roll over and get up from the ground, and then bend down and reach out to carry the two children who had fallen to the side, half of the fake beard stuck under the nose, and they were fluttering in the wind.As if sensing that someone was looking at him in the carriage, the Taoist priest stood on the side of the road with the child, and made a nondescript Taoist salute to this side, "Disturb the nobles, and hope to forgive the sin." ”Wei Xi replied without hindrance, but took a second look at the two identical-looking children next to him, and then prepared to sit back.The carriage continued to move slowly, and when it passed by the Taoist priest, Wei Xi suddenly sniffled and subconsciously shouted to stop.Xiao Qi hurriedly stopped, "Miss?
”Wei Xi opened the car window, turned around and shouted, "The road is long and slow." ”Zhou Yuan paused and turned around: "What else is the matter with the nobles?"
”Wei Xi sniffed carefully again without a trace, and then asked in a low voice, "Dare to ask the Dao Chief, but you practice alchemy?"
”Zhou Yuan was really surprised this time, he looked at himself carefully, "How did the noble person know that the poor Dao knew about alchemy?"
”"Guess.I smell sulfur and saltpeter powder in you. ”Zhou Yuan subconsciously took a step back, glanced around, and saw that no one noticed this, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.However, after looking at Shang Weixi's gaze, he was busy and vigilant, "The noble person is afraid that he has smelled the wrong thing." ”Now that Dayongzun Buddha is degrading, he is chasing and shouting at Taoist priests who know alchemy, so he can't help but be vigilant.Even if he didn't learn serious alchemy.Seeing his alert look, Wei Xi waved his hand, "Don't worry, I won't pull you to see the official."
I just want to ask, where did you get this saltpeter?
Or, where is it sold?
”Zhou Yuan: "He originally thought that it would be strange enough for him to learn Laoshizi alchemy, but he didn't expect to meet something even more bizarre.A little girl who looks like a young lady can smell the saltpeter powder on his body, and wants to buy it for use, what is this head thinking?"
I'm sorry, this young lady," Zhou Yuan Wuliang Tianzun sighed, looking at the other party's eyes that seemed to be able to understand what he was going to say next, and he couldn't hide it, so he lowered his voice and replied, "This saltpeter powder is refined by Poor Dao himself, and there is only a trace of it, and Poor Dao can't sell it." ”"Dao Chang refined it himself?"
This was a bit unexpected for Wei Xi.Zhou Yuan nodded stubbornly."
That's it, please forgive me for delaying the Daoist for so long."
Wei Xi was a little disappointed, nodded at the other party and returned to the carriage.Zhou Yuan shook his head, took the hands of the two little guys beside him and prepared to leave.The wrist on the left side was pulled, "Master, we didn't earn any money for dinner this time, are we going back to the Taoist Temple?"
”"When I went back, I remembered that there was still some rice and a chicken in the Taoist temple.It's just a pity that I would have liked to fatten up a little more. ”One and two small walked out of the city gate slowly, and walked for another quarter of an hour, until they reached the foot of a mountain.The Taoist temple was halfway up the mountain, and they had to climb it.It's not easy to get out of the house.Halfway through the climb, Zhou Yuan wrinkled his nose, "Why do I smell a smell of burnt paste?"
”"Master, it's the direction of the Taoist temple."
Zhou Yuan looked up suddenly, and saw a thick black smoke rising in the direction of the Broken Dao Temple where they had lived for a while.At this glance, he was shocked, bent down and picked up one in one hand, and reminded, "Don't make a sound." ”He turned around and ran towards the road he had come from.When Wei Xi saw the three "Taoist priests" again, it was three days later.Compared with the last time they met, these three can be said to be several times embarrassed.The big one looks like it's been made from the same robe from the previous one, and it's going to be performing acrobatics on the street.The two little ones were begging for money with their cloth pockets.The faces of the three people were so black that they could barely see their true faces.If Wei Xi hadn't had some impression of this big and small, he wouldn't have been able to recognize it."
I haven't seen you for three days, and this has changed from a Taoist priest to a juggler?"
Wei Xi got out of the carriage while thinking, and looked at the busy figure in the center of the circle with interest."
Hey, you're that pretty sister that day?"
Wei Xi lowered his head when he heard the sound, looked at a pair of small faces with only the whites of his eyes and white teeth, and took a small piece of silver handed by Xiao Qi and put it in his cloth pocket, "That's right, do you remember me?"
”"My sister is good-looking."
Wei Xi couldn't help laughing, "Why did you change to a street show?"
”"Our Taoist temple was burned, and the master said that if you want to starve to death, you can only live by performing arts.""
Burned?""
Well," the other little fellow came over and nodded, "It's a pity that there is still a chicken in the Taoist temple, and it was also roasted with the Taoist temple." ”"I really want to eat roast chicken.""
Suck!"
Wei Xi: "A quarter of an hour later, in a street teahouse.Zhou Yuan took a big sip of a pot of tea, and then smiled at Wei Xi embarrassedly, the old man was exposed by his own children, and he didn't do the Taoist priest before, "Let Miss see and laugh." ”Wei Xi shook his head and tapped his fingers on the table, "Is Your Excellency hiding someone?"
”Zhou Yuan fanned the wind with his hand, and his eyes flashed.Xiao Qi, who was standing behind Wei Xi, came out of its sheath with a clatter.The atmosphere became tense for a moment."
I have no intention of probing your situation, take it easy."
Wei Xi waved his hand at Xiao Qi and motioned for her to put away her weapon.Xiao Qi stared at Zhou Yuan coldly for a moment, and then put down the short dagger in his hand.Waiting until the atmosphere slowly eased, Wei Xi spoke: "There are two reasons why I invited Your Excellency over for a cup of tea. ”"First, I'm very interested in the saltpeter in your hand.""
Second, I like children more, and I just fell in love with these two little guys."
Zhou Yuan stared at the little girl sitting in front of him tightly, his thoughts racing.It wasn't until he was sure that he and the others had not exposed any traces after coming to Hengdu City, and that he had indeed only had the intersection a few days ago, and that the other party had indeed asked for something on his body, that he made up his mind and said: "I can give you the clue of saltpeter, but can you really guarantee the safety of the three of us?"
I'm not afraid to tell you that there is indeed a group of people searching for our tracks. ”"Second Miss?"
When Xiao Qi heard this, he suddenly spoke out with some disapproval."
Xiao Qi, don't worry, I have my own plans."
Wei Xi tilted his head to silence Xiao Qi, and nodded to the other side, "Yes."
I promise. ”At least in this Hengdu City, she can still fight for her father."
Dare to ask Miss's name?""
Wei Xi.Your Excellency's name?
”"Zhou Yuan."
