Fairy cage

The sneer rang out in the pharmacy, making the three people with Rosacea in front of the furnaces suddenly startled and slightly startled.

The other party turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw a figure walking out. The sneer was none other than Yu Lie.

The three people with rosacea saw Yu Lie, and naturally recognized them at a glance, so the shock in the hearts of the three people disappeared completely, and someone laughed: "Hey, isn't this Fellow Daoist Yu, why are you free today, why are you in our workshop? ?”

Rosacea pinched the two curls of his beard at the corner of his mouth and responded sarcastically: "It seems that those Taoist boys were really ruined by the smoke. How come they couldn't even close the door and let people in casually. "

Yu Lie saw that the old god was still present among the three of them, and the sneer in his eyes became even more intense.

He looked around the field, and did not immediately attack, but deceived the other party and said: "Three fellow Taoists, remember, I just sent a transmission note to suspend work and not receive salary? Why do you think so? It seems like Pindao has been removed from the list?"

At this time, the on-duty shopkeeper of the large pharmacy was still in the dark, hiding in the smoke. He was holding back his breath and watching.

The purpose of Yu Lie's appearance first was to trick the Rosacea trio into admitting that he had not been in the workshop recently, but it was not an unexcused absence.

As expected, the three people with rosacea had something in their minds. Although they did not dare to directly say that Yu Lie had been removed from the list, they still prevaricate and said: "You are a Taoist, you can come to the workshop whenever you want, and leave whenever you want. Even if you are in Retreat, but you haven’t been here for a long time, how can you still have the dignity to enter the pharmacy?”

"It's exactly what Fellow Daoist Qian said. Mr. Yu, you'd better leave as soon as possible, otherwise I'll charge you with breaking into the house without permission."

In a few words, the three of them just wanted to send Yu Lie away quickly. Although they did not directly testify to Yu Lie, they acquiesced in Yu Lie's questions in their words.

This made Yu Lie feel at ease, and he pocketed the photo-taking charm in his sleeve.

With these words from the other party, coupled with the many Taoist boys in the pharmacy, and the records he retained when he issued the transmission notes, there should be no shortage of corresponding evidence.

However, just some evidence is not enough to help him clear his name. After all, the Chamber of Commerce is not a Taoist court, and the other three are also old men in the Chamber of Commerce. There are many ways to distort the facts.

Moreover, even if Yu Lie found a connection to sue the other party, the other party would most likely just make a careless mistake. In this case, let alone defeating the other party, it would even be difficult for the other party to pay some spiritual stones.

Therefore, Yu Lie suddenly turned his attention to the Taoist boys who were tired of working in the workshop.

He thought to himself: "It's a small mistake to neglect one's duties, but if you add in the harsh Taoist boy, make personal profits, force the Taoist boy to death but let the Chamber of Commerce take responsibility, this is a big mistake."

Especially the person who came with him today was the shopkeeper of the big pharmacy on duty. Judging from the look on his face just now, he must have become angry.

So Yu Lie immediately decided to add more fire. He looked at the people opposite him coldly and said suddenly: "You three, refining elixir is not the same as yours. When I walked in, I saw many people in the room. The Taoist boys have already fainted, why are you still playing here and not shutting down the furnace quickly!"

When he said this, he had a sense of righteousness.

When the three people with Rosacea heard this, their faces were startled again. The three of them looked at each other for a few times, then looked at Yu Lie in a funny way.

"You, a Taoist, are teaching your brothers how to do things?"

Rosacea exclaimed with a smile:

"Did you not hear what Pindao said just now? Or what? In this place, the three brothers are the ones in charge. Who do you think you are? Don't say that you are no longer in the workshop. Even if you are here, it doesn't matter how senior you are. You’re here to make a fuss!”

The other two Taoist disciples also shouted: "That's right."

"Fellow Taoist said it well. This guy is harassing us for making alchemy for no reason. If we can't pay him back then, we will definitely sue this guy!"

The three of them sat cross-legged, pointing at Yu Lie, laughing and cursing.

Hearing the other party's increasingly domineering words, Yu Lie's face became calmer, and he took a step back.

So the next moment, there was another sneer:

"Okay, Pindao's eyes have been opened today. The three of you are enjoying being emperors!"

This voice sounded, and the three people with Rosacea were stunned.

They quickly stared at the on-duty shopkeeper who came out, with troubled and stunned expressions in their eyes, realizing that there was an outsider present.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, but they didn't recognize the shopkeeper on duty at first glance.

Among them, Rosacea suppressed a sentence and replied: "Who are you, you dare to scold Taoist masters?"

These words made the already sullen shopkeeper on duty, the anger on his face became even more obvious. He took a few steps forward again and shook his Taoist robe.

Amidst the smoke and fire, the three people with rosacea could clearly see the robe on the duty shopkeeper.

Now, there was no need for the shopkeeper on duty to reveal his identity, and the three of them shrank.

Because the robe worn by the shopkeeper on duty, although different from the ordinary robes worn by the chamber of commerce, is also issued by the chamber of commerce. It is just to set off the identity, and is more similar to regular clothes. It is only embroidered with the unique pattern of the chamber of commerce in small places. Indicates identity.

Seeing this outfit, Rosacea and the others secretly said in their hearts: "Oops!

The visitor is not an outsider, and he looks like he still has a small status in the chamber of commerce. "

Rosacea's face suddenly felt as if it had eaten a fly, and he choked, wishing he could stuff back what he just said.

Moreover, the two Taoists next to him hurriedly sent messages, secretly saying: "Who is this person? Could it be the Taoist priest in charge of prosecutors in the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Hey, this robe looks a bit familiar. I seem to have seen it in a hall somewhere..."

The scene of the workshop became quiet for a while, with only the sound of the alchemy furnace being cooked, the charcoal fire exploding, and the sound of continuous coughing.

The movement on the Taoist side has actually attracted the attention of all the Taoist boys in the room.

But no matter what those Taoist boys were thinking, they didn't dare to come forward to interfere, and they didn't even dare to put down the work in their hands. They could only tense up and continue to cook the medicinal materials and watch the fire burn the furnace.

"This Taoist Priest, who are you?" After a few moments of silence, the rosacea exhaled, and the arrogant look on his face suddenly changed.

He quickly stood up and said with a shy face: "The room is so simple that it makes the Taoist priest laugh."

The other two Taoist disciples also hurriedly stood up and bowed to the shopkeeper on duty.

Such a scene fell into Yu Lie's eyes, making him smile immediately. But now that the shopkeeper has come forward, he doesn't need to say anything more, he just stands aside and watches coldly.

Even so, when the three people with rosacea greeted the shopkeeper with shy faces, their eyes also looked at Yu Lie with resentment.

The three of them chattered, and secretly cursed among themselves: "Needless to say, it was the man surnamed Yu who lured this Taoist from the Chamber of Commerce here. This bastard has no good intentions!"

However, although they were frightened, they had not yet reached the point of trembling with fear. Rosacea even snorted secretly:

"Don't panic. I've been squatting in this workshop for so many years and taking care of so many people. Even if the inspection Taoist from the Chamber of Commerce comes, what's the problem? At most, I will vomit out what I have recently eaten."

Immediately afterwards, the shopkeeper on duty made the three people with rosacea freeze in their thoughts. They saw that the other party also drank:

"Why are you still standing there in a daze? Why don't you stop the furnace immediately?"

The people with rosacea looked at each other, even more unsure of the identity of the visitor. After hesitating for a while, one said to the other: "The Taoist priest is joking. I am very nervous about the task above, so I don't dare to stop the furnace at will."

"What the Taoist Master doesn't know is that the process of refining alchemy doesn't stop when you want to. There are some stoves that take ten days and a half to light a fire. The spiritual stones are scattered in large quantities. If it stops, the room will be empty. It will delay work for at least a month."

After hearing these people's words, the shopkeeper on duty showed impatience on his face. He also realized that the three Taoist disciples in front of him had not yet recognized his identity.

So the shopkeeper on duty snorted coldly, took out a talisman from his waist, and said with a smile: "I don't know? Let's take a closer look, what does Pindao do in the Chamber of Commerce!"

The Taoist robe may not be recognizable at first glance, but the cards in the Qianlin Chamber of Commerce are very easy to identify, especially the word "Dan" conspicuously branded on them.

At this time, the three people with rosacea looked even more embarrassed, realizing that the three of them had committed a crime on the "rightful owner" today.

But they did not self-examine at all, but looked at Yu Lie with more resentment, and said in shock:

"Where did this guy find the shopkeeper?"

Rosacea looked even more confused: "I never heard that this person named Yu has a big background. What tricks did he use to get this person to meddle in his own business?"

Seeing the three of them staring at him furtively, Yu Lie also looked at the other three and said with a half-smile: "The shopkeeper has spoken. Three fellow Taoists, why don't you stop the furnace and stop the elixir?"

These words made the three people with Rosacea shocked and angry. They looked at the shopkeeper on duty and didn't dare to get angry. But when they looked at Yu Lie, they wanted to slap Yu Lie on the cheek to let Yu Lie know a little bit.

The three of them dared not speak out in anger.

After a few breaths of stalemate, Rosacea finally took a few more steps and whispered: "This shopkeeper, you know shopkeeper Sun. The relationship between a certain three of them and shopkeeper Sun is very good..."

These words successfully made the shopkeeper on duty frown.

But before Rosacea finished speaking, the shopkeeper on duty said coldly: "Why, you guys want to move out your backers to overwhelm me? Or maybe it was Shopkeeper Sun who taught you how to make alchemy so much that you killed the Taoist boy. Ruin the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce?"

Rosacea's throat choked again, and he said quickly: "Don't dare, don't dare."

At this moment, the three of them were in a dilemma. They didn't dare to say anything more, lest they say bad things, but they didn't want to stop the elixir furnaces in the workshop and waste their time.

Seeing the appearance of these people, Yu Lie narrowed his eyes slightly, then chuckled and said, "Three fellow Taoists won't do anything, but they won't? In that case, I will help you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Lie immediately took steps towards the alchemy furnace opposite.

At this time, the three people with rosacea who were dawdling became anxious, and rosacea among them even drank directly: "How dare you, surnamed Yu!?"

"Fellow Daoist Yu, stop!"

The three people immediately stopped in front of Yu Lie, trying to block his way.

Among them, the one with rosacea still reacted and cursed: "Okay, you surnamed Yu are deliberately trying to prevent us from paying the job and delaying the construction period. You are so cruel!"

These words made Yu Lie raise his eyebrows slightly.

Yes, that's actually what he had in mind. Stopping the elixir furnace completely delayed the construction period of this batch of elixirs, which made it easier for the other three to take responsibility.

It should be noted that the other three are Taoist disciples. The only things they committed were taking advantage of their free wages and using their tasks to treat the Taoist boys under their command harshly. All these things may be serious or not.

Yu Lie had to think of ways to make the other party make more mistakes so that these three guys could learn a lesson.

The shopkeeper on duty who followed Yu Lie on the side frowned slightly when he heard the words "the construction period was delayed".

The man thought about whether he should continue to persist.

Immediately, the shopkeeper also thought in his heart: "Well, the mission of the Chamber of Commerce is indeed important. Let's not stop the furnace first, but reduce the number of daily tasks and wait until this season is over."

The man also secretly glanced at Yu Lie next to him and realized that he couldn't afford to take on too much responsibility for Yu Lie's sake.

After all, the two had just gotten acquainted, and it was not yet clear how much weight Yu Lie held in the Shouwu enshrinement.

However, the shopkeeper's thinking was not as fast as Yu Lie's. He ignored Rosacea and the others who were blocking the way. With a flash of inspiration, he bypassed the other party and went straight to the steaming elixir furnace. The trick is to turn off the flame and stop the furnace.

But it was too late. Rosacea's eyes flashed, and he suddenly had an idea and shouted: "No! Not only did you force your way in, you also forced to stop the furnace and harm my pharmacy!"

This person speaks very fast:

"Two fellow Taoists, cast spells quickly to stop the enemy, but don't damage the alchemy furnace and other items in the room." He emphasized the tone of the last sentence.

As soon as his two accomplices heard this, they immediately reacted: "Hey! Since these two people are going to shut down the furnace, then I can accuse them of having evil intentions!"

The three of them realized that it was not going to end well, and they thought of making a big fuss in the workshop and causing trouble for him.

If you want to stop the furnace to stop elixirs and take a rest to settle accounts, then we will directly destroy the furnace and burn the house, and the fish will die and the net will be destroyed!

In this way, even if you are reasonable, you dare to engage in random fighting in the alchemy room, and if you destroy it too much, your rationality will become unreasonable.

In an instant, spiritual energy emerged from the three people with rosacea.

Among them, Rosacea looked at Yu Lie even more cruelly, thinking:

"If you dare to cause trouble for Taoist Master, I will destroy you today. It will be over for you. Then we will see if you can still find someone to stand up for you!"

The shopkeeper on duty, who was about to call it quits, was immediately shocked when he saw what was going on.

The shopkeeper was also a veteran, and he immediately understood the thoughts of the three people with rosacea, and felt a little regretful in his heart: "Oops, I shouldn't have pushed too hard! These three people are definitely not clean. If there is a fight, it doesn't matter if someone dies. , but if this pharmacy is destroyed, I will also have to eat some food."

But Yu Lie is completely different from him.

Yu Lie was startled when he saw the three people with Rosacea drinking, but when he looked at Rosacea's movements, he calmed down and a sneer immediately appeared on his face.
