CH 312

The city of Yinling was still bustling. Li Huowang, wearing a bamboo hat and leading a horse-drawn carriage, blended in with the crowd.

The lively crowds around him frightened Mantou, who tucked its tail and hid under the carriage, following it slowly.

When they arrived at an inn, Li Huowang paid for the room with the silver coins he had prepared on the carriage.

Everything was prepared on the carriage, not only silver coins, but also clean clothes and various types of dry food.

"Whoosh~" The carriage curtain was lifted, and the Black Tai Sui, tied up with ropes, appeared in front of him. Li Huowang stuffed the jerky he had in his hand into the gaps of its slimy body.

Then Li Huowang took out a knife and cut off a large piece to chew on. The meat of the Black Tai Sui was disgusting, but he was used to it.

After Li Huowang ate so much, the Black Tai Sui didn't seem to have shrunk much.

After checking the ropes that bound it with his hands, Li Huowang looked at the Black Tai Sui in front of him and said, "Can you hear me? Can you repeat what I'm saying now?"

The Black Tai Sui had no response to Li Huowang's question, still wriggling its disgusting body and spitting out filthy and viscous liquid from the gaps on its body.

It couldn't even react, let alone speak.

Li Huowang thoughtfully touched his stomach. "Does the Black Tai Sui have to be in my stomach to recognize words? Or is it because my hearing is too sensitive that only I can hear it?"

He didn't know if eating the Black Tai Sui would have the same effect on others. Maybe it was normal for him, or maybe he was just special.

After covering the carriage curtain again, Li Huowang said to Mantou, who was squatting beside him, "Keep an eye on it. If the Black Tai Sui moves or someone tries to approach, you bark loudly, and I'll be in the next room."

"Woof woof!!" Mantou wagged its tail and jumped.

Li Huowang patted Mantou's head with his hand and turned to walk towards the guest room.

Opening the window and looking at the lively market below, Li Huowang took out a book from his pocket, the "Three Character Classic".

Li Huowang didn't know if teaching the Black Tai Sui this way would work, but he had to try. If he succeeded, the Black Tai Sui might be able to help him in the future.

Even if it didn't help, as long as it didn't cause trouble, it would have achieved its purpose.

"At the beginning, people's nature is good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are different. If they are not taught, their nature will deteriorate. The way of teaching is to focus on specialization..."

A wriggling black tentacle emerged from Li Huowang's navel, shook, and then retracted.

"Litchi, this is litchi." Li Huowang opened the shell with his hand. "Eat it."

Then he stuffed the translucent flesh into his mouth. "No, it's not 'kill', it's 'eat'."

When he saw that the lamps in the rooms outside had been lit, Li Huowang thought it was time to go. He stood up and walked out.

It was still the place where he had drunk with Tuoba Danqing before. As soon as Li Huowang walked in and explained his purpose, he was immediately invited in by the waiter.

We are "pawread dot com", find us on google.

Obviously, they had already made arrangements. As soon as he entered, all kinds of food and wine were served.

After waiting in the elegant room for a while, Tuoba Danqing's unique laughter could be heard from outside before he even arrived.

"Hehe~ Brother Erxian, it's been a long time. I miss you so much." With a creak, the door opened, and Tuoba Danqing, dressed in brocade, walked in. "Don't stand, sit quickly. We're all brothers, why be polite?"Seeing Tuoba Danqing close the door with a flick of his hand, Li Huowang took off his black veil and hat.

Tuoba Danqing's eyes showed a strange color when he saw Li Huowang's face covered in black and pink skin.

But he didn't say anything, laughed again, picked up the wine pot on the table and poured himself a cup. "Come, let's drink."

Knowing the other's intentions, Li Huowang didn't rush.

Li Huowang drank some and looked up. Fortunately, he had already drunk a lot of water before drinking, so he could get drunk slower.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, Tuoba Danqing cleared his throat lightly and began to speak.

"Ear Brother, there is news about the gossip mirror you asked me about before. It was obtained by the Taoist sects that deceive beings from a blind cow-nosed man."

"Oh? Is that blind man surnamed Chen?"

"Huh, Ear Brother, I haven't said it yet, how did you know?"

Li Huowang, holding a wine glass, sneered and looked towards Red in the distance. As expected, the identity of Blind Chen he used before was also stolen.

"Ear Brother, that cow-nosed man said that he couldn't give you the method for driving the mirror, but if you are willing to return the mirror to him, he can exchange it for a set of symbol and talisman books."

"What kind of symbol and talisman books?"

"He said that this symbol and talisman book records various symbols and spells. As long as you learn this set of symbol and talisman books, you will be proficient in mountain, medicine, divination, fate, and physiognomy."

After saying this, Tuoba Danqing paused and smiled cunningly.

"But in my opinion, this old man is probably bragging. That set of symbol and talisman books may be useful, but it may not be as powerful as he said."

Li Huowang took out the mirror, thinking about the gains and losses, but he had no experience in this regard and didn't know how to consider it.

After thinking about it, Li Huowang turned his head to look at Tuoba Danqing beside him.

"Tuoba Brother, can you give me some advice on this matter?"

Anyway, Tuoba Danqing was an experienced person in this area. He could listen to his advice.

Tuoba Danqing picked up a piece of crystal-clear fish skin with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Well...in my opinion, you should agree to this. Although the cow-nosed man didn't say it, it seems that he values that mirror very much. If you don't give it to him, he may come looking for it."

"Moreover, although this magical tool is good, it is really useless for your sect if you are willing to be ruthless to yourself. On the contrary, some special symbol papers recorded in this symbol and talisman book can make up for the shortcomings of your sect."

"Besides, in this day and age, the more friends you have, the more paths you have. What if Blind Chen can help you in the future?"

After careful consideration, Li Huowang found that Tuoba Danqing's words were indeed reasonable. "Thank you, Tuoba Brother, for your guidance."

"We are all brothers in the sect. Don't be polite. If you really want to thank me, just remember me when you have something good in the future."

Tuoba Danqing said and picked up his wine glass again.

As they drank, their relationship became closer.

When they were almost finished eating, Tuoba Danqing, who was a little drunk, became serious.

"Ear Brother, we're done with the small talk. Let's talk business. If you want to go up, you have to work harder, right? Fortunately, there happens to be something in the south that needs your attention."

In addition, I owe another chapter to another leader, and I will repay it as soon as possible.
