Chapter 11 Breaking Evil
Early the next morning,
After Wu Tao finished dumping the tiger's eggs, he didn't see Zhang Li when he came back, so he didn't care. He picked up his baggage and planned to go to the market to set up a stall. Unexpectedly, when he went out, he bumped into Zhang Li opening the door.
"Fellow Daoist Li, where are you going?" Zhang Li yawned. She was still so sleepy even though there were no guests last night. Could it be an occupational disease? She was so excited that she couldn't sleep at night?
Wu Tao said: "I'm going to Fangshi."
"Ouch..." Zhang Li yawned for a long time and then said: "Just in time, please help me bring back thirty kilograms of spiritual rice. I'm sleepy and I need to sleep for a while."
With that said, he returned to the house and took out a spirit stone bag and handed it over.
"Done!" Wu Tao took the spirit stone bag and turned to head to Fangshi.
I have to say that Wu Tao and Han Tiezhu are really destined, and their stalls are next to each other. Wu Tao is No. 39, Ding District, and Han Tiezhu is No. 38, Ding District.
There was also a little girl in linen clothes sitting in Han Tiezhu's stall, looking at the stall intently, not daring to move, looking very shy.
"Uncle Han, it's so early for you."
Wu Tao raised the stall while saying hello.
When Han Tiezhu saw Wu Tao's stall next to him, he was extremely happy. He laughed and said, "Little friend Li, we are really destined to be next to each other again."
"This is my daughter Mingxiu. She is fifteen this year. She is a middle-aged girl. She is also well-motivated. She is taking the examination for the husband's certificate. She is expected to get it next year. Mingxiu, this is Brother Li Mo. Let's call Brother Li. call."
When Han Mingxiu saw her father telling everything about her, she suddenly became shy and whispered softly: "Dad..."
Wu Tao looked at Han Mingxiu. Han Mingxiu was ordinary-looking, neither ugly nor pretty. She was just an ordinary girl from Lingzhi's family. However, he was certain that Han Mingxiu should look like her mother, unlike her mother. Han Tiezhu is so embarrassed.
As for Han Tiezhu's resemblance to him, it's purely because of his eyesight.
Wu Tao felt that such a shy girl was really valuable in this world of immortality, so he smiled and said: "Then I'll call you Sister Mingxiu. The name You is not bad. Your father probably didn't give it to you..."
Han Mingxiu looked at Wu Tao, lowered his gaze, and then said hello with a blush: "Brother Li."
"This child spends all day in the fields and rarely comes out. She is very afraid of others. That's why her mother asked me to bring her to the market to show me the stalls so that she can practice her temper and avoid suffering losses in the future." Han Tiezhu After explaining, he added: "I really didn't choose the name Mingxiu. I don't have this culture. I asked a steward of Wuquan Mountain Lingzhi Hall to choose it."
The chat ended here. After all, we were here to set up a stall, not to chat.
Han Tiezhu whispered to Han Mingxiu: "Xiu'er, you have to be smart. This brother Li may be a weapon refiner. If he falls in love with you, you won't have to make a living like your parents. ."
When Han Mingxiu heard this, he became angry, blushed, and stamped his feet: "Dad, you already told me that Brother Li is a weapon refiner. How could he like me, who was born as a spiritual husband...Dad, it turns out that you and I What mother said about tempering my temper was a lie..."
Han Tiezhu said: "Xiu'er, dad is doing this for your own good. Li Xiaoyou is in his later years and is setting up a stall with us. If he becomes prosperous in the future and doesn't need to set up a stall, he will have no chance. Of course, I don't force it. , it depends on your life!"
Listening to her father's words, Han Mingxiu secretly looked at Wu Tao and sighed in her heart, feeling that she was not worthy of this brother Li.
Her father is probably busy in vain.
Time passed quietly, and it was noon all of a sudden, and Wu Tao's stomach growled with hunger.
Next to them, Han Tiezhu and his daughter had already brought their own lunch and started eating. Seeing Wu Tao looking over, Han Tiezhu invited: "Little friend Li, do you want to eat something together?"
Wu Tao knew that they only brought their own food, so he had the nerve to use it, so he shook his head and said: "No, they sell lunch in front, I'll buy it there."
After that, he put away the stall, packed his bags and carried them on his back, and went to the place where lunch was sold. Many casual cultivators crowded in to buy, which made Wu Tao couldn't help but sigh. This immortal cultivator has not reached the stage of fasting, so he is really no different from ordinary people.
Holding the bag tightly, he finally squeezed to the front and said loudly: "One meal, thank you!"
The food seller looked up and immediately became happy. He chuckled and said, "Fellow Taoist, it's you. Why don't you sell food today?"
Wu Tao's face suddenly looked ugly. He suddenly wanted the food seller to deliver the food to his stall and then put on the robe for him to see. But after thinking about it, he felt good about it, but it was not necessary. Although he is just a food seller, there are many variables in the world of immortality. What if the other party dies and his luck becomes rich? Or is he a master who has lived east of Hexi for thirty years and west of Hexi for thirty years?
‘Hey, it’s better to keep a low profile and don’t need to fight with emotions. ’
After thinking about this, Wu Tao didn't reply, took the meal, paid for the broken spirit stones, and returned to the stall to cook.
After eating and waiting for more than an hour, three casual cultivators dressed as knight-errants stopped in front of Wu Tao's stall, two men and one woman. They seemed to be interested in Wu Tao's robes.
Wu Tao stood up quickly, with a face full of enthusiasm: "You three, I want to buy a robe. Take a look, the brand new robes are all made by me, and the quality is guaranteed."
The three of them looked at each other, and the woman said, "Yes, we are just buying robes."
'We...' Wu Tao was ecstatic when he heard this word, and said quickly: "If all three of you buy it, I will give you a cheaper price, fourteen yuan for a low-grade spiritual stone."
"You said you refined it yourself. Do you have a certificate as a refiner certified by the Wuquan Mountain Refining Hall?"
Wu Tao: "..."
Isn’t it just a certificate? Can't I pass the exam?
"No!"
He dare not do anything to deceive consumers.
Hearing this, the female cultivator showed a hint of joy on her brows and said, "If you don't have the certificate, there is no guarantee for many of them. We don't feel confident buying them. Thirteen pieces of low-grade spiritual stones are a piece. If possible, can we make a deal?"
Thirteen times three, thirty-nine... Calculating in his mind, Wu Tao no longer hesitated: "Deal!"
Looking at the transaction voucher in his hand and holding the heavy bag containing thirty-nine spiritual stones, Wu Tao felt unprecedentedly satisfied. Next to him, Han Tiezhu and his daughter looked at it with envy overflowing on their faces.
"Fellow Daoist Li, can't you buy spiritual rice today?"
"Buy, give me thirty pounds." Wu Tao was very grand and waved his hand.
Han Tiezhu immediately commanded Han Mingxiu: "Xiu'er, quickly weigh the rice for Brother Li. It weighs thirty-one pounds."
"Hey, I understand, Dad."
Wu Tao said: "Sister Mingxiu, put thirty kilograms in one bag, and another one kilogram in another bag."
"Okay, Brother Li."
After paying Han Tiezhu the hundred broken spiritual stones given by Zhang Li, and carrying thirty-one kilograms of spiritual rice, Wu Tao first came to the Fang City Leasing Office to pay taxes.
"The tax on three low-grade spiritual stones and ninety low-grade spiritual stones. If the miners in the original owner's former mine knew that the tax alone was higher than their monthly salary, they wouldn't be envious and jealous!"
"Low-key! Low-key! Hehe..."
Wu Tao smiled stupidly and went straight to Yuanyou Talisman Pavilion.
"Fellow Taoist, what kind of talisman do you want to buy? Can you introduce it to me?"
"I want an evil-breaking charm."
"Okay, one first-level intermediate evil-breaking talisman and twenty low-grade spiritual stones. Well... Many thanks to fellow Taoist Chenghui. Please take the evil-breaking talisman and welcome your next visit."
For some reason, Wu Tao felt his hands shaking a little when he took the Evil-Breaking Talisman. He didn't know if it was because he was too excited. He took the Evil-Breaking Talisman and carefully placed it close to his body. After calming down his excitement, he left the Yuanyou Talisman Pavilion.
A ray of sunlight shone down, Wu Tao stretched out his hand to catch the sunlight, and felt that the sunlight was very warm.
After standing at the door of Yuanyou Talisman Pavilion for a moment, he went to Zhang's weapon refining material shop and spent ten yuan of low-grade spiritual stones to buy four robe refining materials.
After that, I left Fangshi, turned around and waited until there was no one behind me, then turned to Xinde Lane and returned to my residence.
"Dong dong dong!"
Zhang Li opened the door and saw Wu Tao, who was sweating and panting. I wonder if it was her imagination, but she always felt that Wu Tao seemed to be in a good mood.
"I brought you the spiritual rice you asked for." Wu Tao handed over the bag containing thirty kilograms of spiritual rice.
Zhang Li did not take it, but said: "It's so heavy, help me bring it in and pour it into the rice vat."
"Ah... Fellow Daoist Zhang, is it not appropriate to enter your room?" Wu Tao wanted to say this in his heart, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it. If he said it, Zhang Li would definitely choke him to death. Zhang Li She lent him money several times and was kind to him, so she did whatever she said.
Seeing Zhang Li turning sideways, Wu Tao entered her room.
After entering, Wu Tao's nose twitched and he smelled the fragrance of flowers. The room was very clean, tidy, and antique. It looked like the room of a well-educated lady.
Zhang Li's room was better than his. Although it was also a single room, it was equipped with a kitchen. He found the rice vat. As expected, there was no rice in the vat. He poured the spiritual rice into the vat and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, it's ready."
"Thank you, would you like a glass of water?" Zhang Li put her hands around her big chest and asked him with her eyes.
Wu Tao waved his hand and said as he walked out: "No, no, I have something to do, so I'll go back first."
Back in his house, Wu Tao took out the Evil-Breaking Talisman. The Evil-Breaking Talisman was yellow in color and made of monster skin. The runes were drawn with cinnabar. The runes were twisted, coherent and mysterious, with a faint aura lingering on them.
"The Evil-Breaking Talisman is up to you!"
