Mortal Mirror

Wu Daoren felt that although this book was picked up for free and he didn't think much of it, it was extraordinary for ordinary mortals. He couldn't sell it at a loss, so one hundred taels of silver was still necessary.

Li Er Gou was overjoyed when he heard that the book was really a cultivation technique and that the Taoist priest was willing to sell it to him.

He had heard the landlord say that there were beauties like jade in books, and golden houses in books, and that a book was worth a thousand gold.

The Taoist priest was right. Da Xia did not allow inheritance without formal channels. Except for sects, families, and the imperial court, anyone else who privately taught techniques to strangers would be beheaded if discovered.

Even martial arts schools that taught ordinary fist and foot skills had to register, Da Xia's laws were not a joke.

At this moment, seeing the Taoist priest mysteriously holding out a finger, and knowing that he was taking the risk of being beheaded, Li Er Gou immediately understood that it couldn't be one tael of silver, otherwise, wouldn't this Taoist priest be a fool.

Thinking like this, it had to be one hundred taels of silver. He sighed in his heart, this book was really valuable, but compared to the thousand gold the landlord mentioned, it was still much less. For a moment, he felt it was worth it.

Most importantly, this silver was copied by him, which was equivalent to getting it for free. Subtracting the two, wouldn't this book also be free? Hehe, free stuff is the best.

Even so, he still felt a little heartache. One hundred taels of silver, he didn't know how many good things he could buy. But then again, Old Man Man at the village entrance told him that money was an external thing, you can't bring it with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die. People, ah, must have skills to rely on, that is the kingly way.

Li Er Gou also thought this way. If he learned the techniques in this book and took the martial arts exam, wouldn't it be a piece of cake.

If it were before, without the bronze mirror, he would never have spent this money, but now, he had the ability to make money.

For freedom, one hundred taels was nothing.

Old Man Man also said that money is a bastard, you can earn it back after spending it, and wealth will return after it's all gone. With the bronze mirror in hand, wouldn't it be easy to knock out a few guys and get more.

Thinking like this, what was he still纠结 about?

Having figured out the key, he pretended to reach into his arms, but actually took a large bag of silver from the bronze mirror.

Bang! He threw a bag of silver onto the cart. Although he still felt a little heartache, he was afraid of being looked down upon, so he pretended to be very generous and said, "This is one hundred taels of silver, I'll take this book."

Li Er Gou didn't say a word and snatched the book over, his heart filled with unspeakable joy. He was excited, he didn't think he, Er Gou Zi, would have the opportunity to practice cultivation techniques. Wouldn't this be a big step closer to his dream.

Wu Shenxian was a little dumbfounded, thinking that paying so readily meant this was a fat sheep.

He didn't expect this guy to look so ordinary. Who would have thought that under this crude exterior was a pile of real gold and silver.

He was really blind. These days, fat sheep were hard to find, especially such foolish fat sheep. He had to grab him and not let him run away.

With this thought, his eyes rolled, and he snatched the nameless book from Li Er Gou's hand.

Li Er Gou was a little surprised and said, "What, one hundred taels isn't enough?"

Wu Shenxian smiled and couldn't help but say, "This is my family's ancestral treasure book. Selling it to you carries the risk of being beheaded. The finger I held up did mean one hundred taels, but not of silver, but of gold."

Li Er Gou's gums itched with hatred, and he said angrily, "Why don't you just rob me? Where would I get so much money?"

Wu Shenxian glanced at him and then smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you can save money if you don't have money. I'm not in a hurry to leave. See that shop across from the clinic? I'll go rent it out in a while. When you save enough money, come find me.

I might as well tell you, this kind of cultivation treasure book can't be bought outside at all. If you take out any one, can you buy it for less than ten thousand taels of silver?

And it has a price but no market. Who dares to do this beheading business? Are they really tired of living?

It's just that I'm skilled and bold. Ask others if they dare.

So you got a big bargain.

I can tell you, opportunity knocks but once.

Once this village is gone, there will be no such shop. Think about it carefully yourself."

Li Er Gou was dumbfounded, not knowing if what this guy said was true or false, but his eloquence was pretty good, feeling like he could忽悠 even better than Huang Ba Tian.

Although he was angry in his heart, he couldn't rob him, could he? Now he finally understood that the landlord didn't deceive him, it was really a book worth a thousand gold. He wanted to take advantage, but he didn't expect people to be not stupid either.

He was depressed in his heart, thinking that even if he sold himself now, he couldn't gather a thousand taels of silver. Wasn't this forcing people to death?

Forget it, I'll find another way.

Thinking like this, he grabbed the silver, thinking that if you don't sell it, then forget it, I'm not willing to spend so much money.

He was even thinking that if this guy hadn't been staring at him all the time, like he was guarding against a thief, he would have copied this book long ago. Then, this guy wouldn't even get a hair, and he wouldn't even be able to find a place to cry.

Should he knock him out? He couldn't help but think maliciously, and touched the headgear around his waist.

Who would have thought that at this time, Wu Shenxian took the lead and grabbed the silver in his hand, and then said with a smile on his face, "Actually, even if you take this book back, you may not be able to learn it right away.

Why don't you pay in installments."

He hurriedly flipped through it, and then said, "This book has a total of thirty pages, one hundred taels of gold is one thousand taels of silver, one hundred taels is one-tenth, and I won't let you suffer. Take one-tenth of this book, which is three pages."

Er Gou Zi saw him tear off the first three pages without saying a word and without any heartache, and handed them to Li Er Gou and said, "This is one hundred taels, and you can buy as many pages as you have money. Look, I'm particular, right? Honest and fair."

Li Er Gou was dumbfounded, thinking that there was such an operation.

But this seemed like a good way. Although one thousand taels of silver was an astronomical figure for him, but after he learned the techniques, with the treasure mirror, it might not be difficult to knock out a few people and copy some silver.

Those guys in the martial arts hall are all fat sheep. With this thought, he grabbed the three pages.

It's just that there was only one illustration on these three pages, and the rest were words, which made him feel like he was reading a heavenly book, and he couldn't help but frown.

Wu Shenxian seemed to see through Li Er Gou's thoughts, and was thinking that this fat sheep couldn't be let go. It wouldn't be easy to find such a foolish fat sheep in the future. He must keep him by his side. If he let him run away, he would have no place to cry.

So he rolled his small eyes and said to Li Er Gou, "Since you spent so much money, and I am soft-hearted and love to make friends all over the world, I can give you the opportunity to learn to read for free. Are you willing?"

Li Er Gou was overjoyed, a pillow came when he was sleepy, where could he find this opportunity? He immediately said happily, "That's great."

Wu Shenxian saw Li Er Gou so happy, and felt that he was suffering a bit, so he smiled and said, "You must know that knowledge is also capital. If it's convenient, bring some chicken, duck, fish, and meat to show respect. This is the way of learning."

Li Er Gou's smile stopped on his face, speechless in his heart, but what the Taoist priest said seemed to be right.

Forget it, for the sake of learning, I'll take a gamble. Fortunately, I still have more than one hundred taels of silver on me. If it doesn't work, I still have three fat pigs in the mirror. If I find a chance to kill them, I can spend less silver.

It's just that he felt that the money came and went quickly, he seemed like a passing God of Wealth. Could it be that he was destined to have no money? Alas, what kind of dog life did he have?

After that, Li Er Gou and Wu Shenxian made an agreement that when Li Er Gou had time, he would go to him to learn to read. Wu Shenxian even patted his chest loudly, guaranteeing that he would teach everything, which was a great comfort to Li Er Gou's heart.

The two separated, each went home, each looked for their mothers. Wu Shenxian walked away happily, humming again, the sound gradually faded away and disappeared into the darkness.

Li Er Gou ran all the way, and didn't return to the martial arts hall until midnight. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Huang Ba Tian standing at the door with a cold face.

Li Er Gou felt bad, wouldn't this guy be looking for trouble again?

Huang Ba Tian also looked at Li Er Gou with a puzzled look, thinking why he had a bloody face after sending him to buy something. Originally, he was a little anxious and worried when he saw that Li Er Gou didn't return this time, constantly thinking that Li Er Gou wouldn't run away with the money, but now seeing him come back like this, his heart couldn't help but thump, thinking that this guy wouldn't have been robbed.

With this thought, his voice became a little anxious and said, "What happened to you? What's with the blood on your face? Where's my elixir?"

Li Er Gou saw Huang Ba Tian's appearance and wanted to laugh in his heart, but he didn't dare now, so he moved his mind, thinking that he could use this to make up a reasonable reason.

He quickly took out the elixir and handed it to Huang Ba Tian and said, "Young master, you don't know, someone robbed me on the way. I risked my life to protect this elixir. I don't know who it was, or if they were crazy. I saw that person knocked out many people. If I hadn't reacted quickly and been resistant to beatings, I don't know what would have happened now."

Huang Ba Tian opened the elixir box with hesitation, reached out and picked up a elixir, it was exactly the same, and then he let go of his heart, but he was dubious about what Li Er Gou said.
