Chapter 390: Charlatan
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, the lights flickered and the atmosphere was heavy.
The Great Dream God had a serious look on his face, his eyes slightly closed, he was mumbling something, his hands were constantly changing, and he was doing it in a very good manner.
However, his back was almost wet with cold sweat.
Panic and anxiety surged in his heart, making his voice tremble.
What to do?
What would the City Lord's Mansion do to him if he couldn't figure it out?
He was cold all over, his face was a little pale, he didn't even know what medicine the City Lord needed, and it was hard to make up a story.
The City Lord was sturdy, like a wild bear, with a strong sense of oppression. He turned his head and stared at Chu Liang, and asked: "Master Chu, when did you start to calculate?"
Chu Liang smiled: "The City Lord has a strong blood and full of energy, and he is clearly not poisoned."
"Oh? If he wasn't poisoned, why did I ask you to come?" The City Lord's voice was low, his expression unchanged, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Do you have paper and pen?" Chu Liang asked instead of answering.
"Yes!"
The city lord waved his hand, and immediately a servant brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Chu Liang picked up the pen, wrote hundreds of words on the paper.
On the other side, the Great Dream God felt a chill on his back, and the voice of his muttering became smaller and smaller. His scalp was numb at this moment, and the words Chu Liang had said before kept flashing in his mind.
No poisoning? !
If there was no poisoning, how could the city lord dare to risk being punished by heaven and ask the two of them to come and tell fortunes?
What was the reason for this?
The Great Dream God was in a state of confusion, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became.
His eyes moved slightly, wanting to see what Chu Liang wrote on the paper, but the city lord's housekeeper kept staring at him woodenly, so he didn't dare to move too much.
"Master Yunhe, have you figured it out?" The housekeeper asked indifferently.
"Wait a minute, calculating the secrets of heaven is not easy." The Great Dream God forced a smile and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound.
After Chu Liang finished writing, he put down the brush and turned slightly to let the city lord see all the contents on his paper.
On it, there was a prescription for curing diseases and saving lives.
"Please take a look, Lord City Lord." Chu Liang smiled.
"Okay!"
The city lord came over, leaned over slightly, and swept his eyes across the paper.
His face changed after seeing it.
"This..."
He was surprised and looked up and asked, "Master Chu, is this prescription really useful?"
Chu Liang nodded and smiled, "If it is useless, Lord City Lord can take my head."
"Okay, I believe Master Chu!"
The city lord spoke decisively and immediately ordered his servants to get the medicine according to the prescription.
It was indeed the city lord who asked for medicine this time, but he did not ask for it for himself, but for his grandson.
A few days ago, his grandson was bitten by a wild beast while hunting in the mountains. His life was in danger. He consumed a lot of medicinal materials in the city lord's mansion but could not recover. Instead, he got worse and worse. Now he is in a coma.
If it was not a last resort, the city lord would not want to invite Chu Liang and the Great Dream God.
In his eyes, these two people are just swindlers.
He deliberately said that he was poisoned. This was a test for the two. If they couldn't even tell this, there was no need to believe them.
Sure enough, the Great Dream God was exposed and didn't see anything unusual at all.
This disappointed him.
But what Chu Liang said next surprised him.
"Master Chu, please sit down." His attitude changed a lot, and he asked someone to bring cakes and tea.
"Well."
Chu Liang looked calm, sitting behind the table, eating cakes casually.
At this point, only the Great Dream God was still calculating.
His palms were sweating like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and panicky, and he felt as if his whole body was being pricked by needles.
After a while, he really couldn't hold on any longer, gritted his teeth, and stopped muttering.
"Lord City Lord, I figured it out!"
"Oh?"
The City Lord raised his eyes slightly and glanced at him.
After what happened before, he had already determined that the Great Dream God was a charlatan, and asked casually: "Master Yunhe, what did you figure out?"
The Great Dream God replied: "Lord City Lord, the medicinal material you need is in the most sunny place in the world, and it is difficult to find it in the mortal world!"
The City Lord said lightly: "Master Yunhe, I want an accurate answer, don't beat around the bush with me."
"Yes, yes..."
The Great Dream God's voice was a little unstable, and he hurriedly replied: "That medicinal material grows in Yang Valley, which is the place where the sun rises. As long as you can enter it, you can get that medicinal material. ”
“Yanggu?” The city lord’s tone was very indifferent, “That is a place in myths and legends, can the master find it?”
“Yes, of course I can!” Lord Dream nodded repeatedly, “As long as the city lord lets me go back and prepare, I can get the herbs for you in just three days!”
“Oh.”
The city lord was very indifferent, and asked again: “Master, do you know what poison I was poisoned with?”
Lord Dream’s expression changed slightly: “If I tell you, I’m afraid...”
“Huh? What are you afraid of?” The city lord’s tone was cold, and his eyes were like a blade.
“Afraid... Afraid...”
Lord Dream’s face turned pale, and facing the terrifying pressure from the city lord, even his Adam’s apple was trembling.
For a moment, his mind was blank, and he didn’t know what to say!
Just then, a servant hurried over and whispered in the city lord’s ear: “Sir, Master Chu’s prescription is useful, and the young master’s high fever has subsided!”
"Good!"
The city lord slapped his chair and stood up with a loud laugh, his voice like thunder.
The Great Dream God trembled all over, unprepared, and fell to the ground in fear.
Then, he heard the city lord's powerful laughter.
"Haha, Master Chu is really a master!"
Hearing this, his face turned pale and his head was buzzing.
He knew that everything was over!
Until now, he didn't know what the city lord wanted him to calculate, but Chu Liang had succeeded!
...
That day, a piece of news spread in the city.
"Have you heard about it?"
"The city lord's mansion invited two masters to the mansion to calculate, but Master Chu became the city lord's guest of honor, while Master Yunhe was thrown out and had four words tattooed on his face!"
"Oh, what are the four words?"
"Swindler!"
"Ah?"
"..."
This news was so shocking that it spread throughout the streets and alleys of the city in the blink of an eye!
Many people didn't believe it at first, thinking it was just a rumor.
But soon, someone saw the Great Dream God and the four words tattooed on his face - charlatan!
"It's true!"
Many people exclaimed, thinking it was incredible.
"How dare the city lord treat Taoist Yunhe like this? Isn't he afraid of Taoist Yunhe's anger?"
"Don't you understand that Taoist Yunhe is just a liar and has no magic power at all!"
All of a sudden, everyone realized it.
This Taoist Yunhe was cheating from beginning to end.
Chu Liangcai is the real master!
