Chapter 186: Meeting Again (2)
Some of the men's eyes looked rather malicious.
Fortunately, there was Lian Caiyi by her side... She instinctively looked at Lian Caiyi beside her and said, "The Wolf God and the others got separated."
Huo Feng wanted to search for Lu Heng.
However, Lian Caiyi laughed and dragged her to another shop, saying, "If we get separated, so be it. The things that women like us look at will definitely not interest the esteemed Wolf God. With me here, you can rest assured that I will protect you completely."
With a smile, Lian Caiyi said, "Little sister, you are so lovely, but you always go out with a plain face. You are wasting your good looks. Today, as your big sister, I will help you look for something beautiful and make sure you are all dressed up nicely... hehehe..."
Lian Caiyi grinned and dragged Huo Feng away.
In the midst of the bustling city, on a street far away from this place, Xiao Ai would occasionally look back and ask.
"The Wolf God..." said Xiao Ai with some regret, "Are we just going to hand Sister Huo Feng over to Senior Caiyi like that?"
Lu Heng smiled and gave her a stern look, "Do you still want to keep watching the show? Don't worry, if you really want to see some excitement, there will be plenty to see when we get back."
"We will have to stay at the Warm Fragrance Pavilion for a while, as will Miss Caiyi. There will be plenty of festivities for you to enjoy."
After Lu Heng finished speaking, Xiao Ai's face turned slightly red. Before she could say anything, the Bo horse behind them let out a snort, revealing its gleaming white teeth once again.
Laughing tremendously happy.
The little fox was completely confused and had been holding back all along and finally couldn't resist speaking now.
"Is that Sister Caiyi... Sister Huo's lover?"
Lu Heng shook his head with a smile and said, "Not yet, but it may not be long before it happens... Haha..."
There wasn't much discussion about the matter between Huo Feng and Lian Caiyi, and Lu Heng managed to brush it off with just a few casual remarks.
Walking on the street with the little fox, Xiao Ai, and the Bo horse, as Huo Feng no longer needed protection, the Bo horse chose to return alone.
Thus, on the busy street with people coming and going, only the white wolf was left to walk with the two little girls who had features of the demon clan.
Besides the shops that were already open for business on both sides of the road, there were also many foreigners selling goods on the side of the road.
Occasionally, Lu Heng also came across some interesting small objects, but mostly he just glanced and walked away.
It wasn't until he stopped at a stall with a pile of small objects that he saw a very interesting item.
It was a very ordinary wooden ornament, without any divine aura, but its carved image made Lu Heng very interested.
Stepping on lotus flowers, wearing a white robe and veil, with delicate facial features, a slight smile on the face, holding a willow branch in the right hand...
This image...White-robed Guanyin?!
Lu Heng's pupils slightly contracted.
He never expected to see a statue of White-robed Guanyin here.
There is no Buddha's orthodox transmission in this world, so why is there a statue of White-robed Guanyin...
Lu Heng gaze towards the vendor of the street stall, who was a young sturdy man with dark skin, obviously a sailor who frequently roamed the sea. These trinkets and gadgets, their origin unknown.
Lu Heng looked at Xiao Ai and said, "Xiao Ai, give this young man five grains of Heavenly Thunder Sand."
Xiao Ai was stunned, "Five grains? The Wolf God... isn't that a bit too much?"
Although Heavenly Thunder Sand was nothing to the Wolf God, it was a rare treasure in the outside world. In the mortal world, a single Heavenly Thunder Sand was worth a fortune, but the Wolf God gave five grains in a row...
Lu Heng nodded and said, "Yes, five grains."
After finishing speaking, Lu Heng looked at the man in front of him and said, "Since you are so honest, I won't hide it from you. This wooden sculpture is indeed somewhat unusual, but I don't know its origin or the secrets within."
"Perhaps this wooden carving could be a rare treasure, but it could also be just a sculpture with some minor trickery. The specifics need to be explored carefully."
"So I will only give you five pieces of Heavenly Thunder Sand... If I have misjudged and this wooden carving has no secrets, then it will be my own misfortune."
"But if this wooden carving holds great mysteries and is worth far more than five pieces of Heavenly Thunder Sand... young man, please don't accuse me of deceiving you."
Lu Heng's words made the man pause for a moment.
"Five pieces of Heavenly Thunder Sand?" He thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "Are they the Heavenly Thunder Sand that the Li Tribe has been seeking in recent years, which is worth a fortune?"
Lu Heng nodded with a smile. "Yes, it is this kind of Heavenly Thunder Sand. Five pieces of it are enough to make you live in luxury for your whole life... Would you like to exchange it?"
The man was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. "I'm willing, I'm willing. I'm willing to give you all of my wood carvings, Lord Wolf, as long as you give me the Heavenly Thunder Sand."
Then, Lu Heng looked at Xiao Ai, and Xiao Ai sighed silently and handed the five pieces of Heavenly Thunder Sand to the man.
Faced with the group of monsters in front of him, the sturdy man didn't bother to appraise them and joyfully ran away with five pieces of Heavenly Thunder Sand.
Only Lu HengXiao Ai and the little fox, who was at a loss, were left behind.
Watching the sturdy man's happy back as he left, the little fox was somewhat confused.
"Senior Wolf God," the little fox asked timidly, "He only needs three Nine Word Blades... Why did you increase the price without our consent? Wouldn't you be at a loss this way?"
Lu Heng shook his head and said, "Young one, you are mistaken. I have not suffered a loss, and of course, this young man may not have gained a profit either."
"This wooden carving is indeed mysterious, not an ordinary item. If I were to deceive this mortal young man after knowing its value...how am I different from those demonic scoundrels who cheat and deceive others?"
"You must know, there is no free lunch in this world. If I took advantage of this person, and bought this wooden carving for a cheap price of three Nine Word Blades."
"If this wooden carving is truly valuable, then the consequences of my actions today could be significant. If I deceive this young man today, who knows, one day I might have to repay him a hundredfold."
"Of course, even if there is no karma in the future. But I, Lu Heng, don't lack those five Heavenly Thunder Sands, yet I have to deceive a mortal with a guilty conscience...hehe...with such a mentality, how can I achieve the Dao?"
Looking at the ignorant little fox, Lu Heng rarely said seriously, "The way of cultivation is already difficult. If you want to make progress, you must not corrupt your Dao heart. Those who are greedy for small gains and lack sincerity in their hearts will inevitably not go far in the way of cultivation."
"Even those evil cultivators and monsters who can reach the pinnacle must have a broad mind, great wisdom, and great perseverance. Not to mention the righteous cultivators, whose cultivation is even more difficult."
Lu Heng said, "We are the righteous demon cultivators, and the cultivation time is extremely long. If we cannot maintain a sincere heart, and always think about small gains and lack a firm Dao heart, one day we will not be able to endure the loneliness of cultivation, and enter the evil path."
Lu Heng's half-joking, half-serious words made the little fox bow her head in silence.
At this moment, she once again remembered Madame Green Bamboo...
Madame Green Bamboo, who cultivated wicked ways...
