Chapter 10 Big Goose

The next day, Li Chuyi and his partner said goodbye to Liang's mansion and walked out.

When the two of them left, Liang Yiwen thanked them profusely and tried to persuade them to stay. Seeing that they were determined to leave, he said no more and presented the thank-you gift that he had prepared long ago.

Li Chuyi's hands trembled a little when he held the silver note of 20,000 taels.

After following the Taoist priest for so many years, he had only saved 500 taels at most. He had never touched or even seen the silver note of 20,000 taels. If it was converted into cash, it would have to be spread out into a huge area!

Well, important things should be placed in important places.

While everyone was not paying attention, Li Chuyi secretly unzipped his pants and stuffed the silver note into the secret pocket of his crotch.

You can't let people steal it if you hide it near money.

The Taoist priest had a calm face, a demeanor of an immortal who was not moved by gold and silver. He was even more disdainful of Li Chuyi's behavior of hiding money near money, and looked at him as a country bumpkin.

Li Chuyi was very surprised by the Taoist priest's indifferent behavior, especially when he saw the Taoist priest took out a few talismans written casually and gave them to Liang Yiwen, and in return, he received more than two thousand taels of silver notes, which made him even more dumbfounded.

Damn, I am still naive, this old liar!

As for the other jewelry and jade items sent by Liang Yiwen, both of them declined politely.

Are you kidding? Such a big box of things, and the two of them, the master and the apprentice, don't have a white dragon horse, how can they carry it? Hire someone to carry it?

Li Chuyi actually wanted to ask Liang Yiwen if these things that could not be taken away could be exchanged for cash, but thinking about the silver notes in his crotch, he decided not to ask.

The master said that people should not be too greedy.

Finally, Li Chuyi, who was reluctant to leave, picked a pair of exquisitely crafted golden bells from the box of jewelry and jade and hung them around his waist, and then followed the Taoist priest, and walked out of the Liang Mansion reluctantly with the farewell of everyone along the way.

"Alas... Liang Yiwen is really rich!" Li Chuyi sighed as he walked on the streets of the city.

"Hey, it's just a few silver coins, which is nothing to him. You are just an ignorant country bumpkin who embarrasses me." The Taoist sneered, "Do you think this Liang guy is just rich? Think about where he lives. Can you live there just because you have money? If there is something behind him, can he keep it just because he has money?"

Li Chuyi was stunned, and then heard the Taoist continue: "And his wife, do you think she is from an ordinary family? Can an ordinary wealthy family be harmed by this pair of Phoenix Blood Mirrors? Such things are hard to see even for cultivators like us, let alone him, an ordinary person?"

After a pause, the Taoist said gloomily: "Think about it, even if he opened all the restaurants along the way, do you think he has the ability to throw out tens of thousands of taels at will? Young man, don't think it's so simple. The silver bills in your crotch may be the hard-earned money of the suffering people somewhere."

Li Chuyi was silent. Although I feel that the Taoist priest's words are a bit exaggerated, but if I think about it carefully, Liang Yiwen should not be an ordinary businessman. I guess the Taoist priest saw something and was afraid of getting involved with Liang Yiwen and getting into trouble, so he resolutely refused to live in Liang's house and took such a large sum of money when he left. In this way, even if he is implicated in the future, the Taoist priest can still say something. It's an employment relationship. You pay me and I do the work.

Both of them fell silent and walked quietly on the road.

After walking for a long time, Li Chuyi scratched his head and turned his head to ask: "Where are we going now?"

"To watch the excitement." The Taoist priest replied lightly.

"Are you going to watch the "Five Yang List" competition held every three years?" Li Chuyi asked excitedly. The Five Yang List competition held every three years starts today.

The Taoist priest glanced at Li Chuyi and said disdainfully: "I told you that you are a country bumpkin, but you are still pushing yourself. What's so interesting about that broken competition? It's just monkeys reciting poems and grasshoppers fighting. Do you think I am at such a childish level?"

Li Chuyi, who was scolded for no reason, automatically ignored the Taoist priest's ridicule and asked excitedly: "Then what are we going to watch?"

The Taoist priest smiled slightly, approached Li Chuyi, and whispered: "Let's go and watch a group of stupid geese compete to see who falls harder."

Li Chuyi was confused.

A group of stupid geese compete to see who falls harder? What's the difference between this and the monkeys reciting poems and grasshoppers fighting that the Taoist priest said? Is the level higher?

Shaking his head, he knew that following the Taoist priest would never suffer any loss, so he stopped asking. There must be a way when the car reaches the mountain. You will know what will happen when the time comes.

"Then let's go." Li Chuyi adjusted his backpack and said to the Taoist priest.

"Where to go?" The Taoist priest was a little surprised.

"Watching the silly goose wrestling, didn't you just say that?" Li Chuyi said, did this Taoist laugh his head off last night?

The Taoist's face twitched, and he said coldly: "When did I say it's now? It's not time yet, what are you going to do!"

Li Chuyi sighed helplessly, this Taoist always spoke nonsense. Patiently asked again: "Then where are we going now?"

"Well, there's nothing to do, it's still a long way to go in the evening, and Piaoxianglou and Hongxiuzhai are not open yet, so let's go to a restaurant around the venue of the Five Yang List to eat and drink, and watch those monkeys and grasshoppers perform to relieve boredom." The Taoist was a little helpless, as if he was helpless about the rule that brothels were not open during the day.

Li Chuyi pouted.

Isn't it still going to watch the Five Yang List? What's the difference between this and what I said at the beginning?

Li Chuyi dared not say this out loud, but only thought about it.

After packing his bags, Li Chuyi followed the Taoist and walked towards the competition venue of the "Five Yang List" in Nancheng District.

The "Wuyang List" competition is held every three years, which is a very important event in Wuyang City. On the day of the Wuyang List competition, the residents of Wuyang City are like celebrating a festival. From high-ranking officials to peddlers, they all walk through the streets and alleys, and the atmosphere is lively and lively, just like a temple fair.

The competition venue of the "Wuyang List" is a piece of land specially set aside in the city, covering an area of ​​nearly 10,000 acres. It is used as a market venue on weekdays, and on the day of the "Wuyang List" competition, it is used as a competition venue.

When Li Chuyi and the others arrived, the surrounding area of ​​the venue had already been crowded with residents who were watching the excitement. Li Chuyi relied on the "fish body method" he had practiced since childhood, twisting left and right to follow the Taoist priest and moving forward in the crowd with difficulty. During this period, he was visited by countless golden fingers and touched many times. Li Chuyi didn't want to cause trouble, so he pretended not to know.

Anyway, it's hidden in the crotch. If you have the guts, take it out? I'll pinch you to death!

After squeezing out of the crowd, even though Li Chuyi had profound skills, he was sweating all over. On the other hand, the Taoist priest was still as handsome as ever, not to mention sweat, not even a bit of dust was stained on him.

Thinking back to the Taoist priest's leisurely look of the crowd automatically parting in front of him, Li Chuyi could only secretly curse him in his heart as an "old monster".

He found a restaurant closest to the venue, which was full as expected. However, when the Taoist priest casually tapped the restaurant owner on the head with a silver note of 100 taels, the owner immediately squeezed a "elegant seat" by the window on the third floor, and even set up a row of screens as a shield.

The food and wine were served one after another, but Li Chuyi's heart was bleeding.

One hundred taels, just beaten up by the Taoist priest "so casually"?

Although he is now worth tens of thousands, he can't spend it like this!

It's a waste!

Li Chuyi felt distressed and looked at the Taoist priest with the eyes of a prodigal son.

"Okay, put away your useless eyes and don't embarrass me with your rustic look." The Taoist priest poured a glass of wine, took a sip, and said lightly.

"But, that's one hundred taels!" Li Chuyi still felt distressed.

The Taoist priest glanced at Li Chuyi: "Without one hundred taels, can you sit here? Without one hundred taels, can you have a window seat? And there is a screen blocking it? You have tens of thousands of taels of silver notes in your crotch, can you sit in the hall with peace of mind?" After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he turned his head and looked out the window, "Remember, good steel should be used on the blade. You can't bring things with you when you are born or when you die. If you care too much about them and are too obsessed with them, you will lose your original intention."

Li Chuyi thought about it and felt that what the Taoist priest said made sense. If he let himself sit in the hall with tens of thousands of taels of silver notes, he would definitely not be able to sit comfortably, so he didn't say anything more.

Looking at the dazzling array of food and wine, Li Chuyi began to eat everything in a flash, thinking that he could not lose money and could make some money back.

The Taoist looked at Li Chuyi who was eating and drinking, and shook his head: "You are useless."

Li Chuyi pretended not to hear. He was not a Taoist. Every time he spent money to order a large table of food, he mainly drank. He basically only took a bite of each dish on the table, and said that this was status and taste. Li Chuyi felt that this was a blatant waste! Waste is shameful! It's a pity that the Taoist read him the story of hoeing the field and noon.

He raised the case and ate for a long time, and suddenly heard the Taoist say "Huh".

Li Chuyi stopped, touched the oil on his mouth, and looked in the direction the Taoist was looking. He saw a crowd of people surging, and didn't see anything unusual.

"Stupid, open your eyes." The Taoist's faint voice came.

Upon hearing this, Li Chuyi immediately silently practiced his profound skills. Between his eyes, a faint light flashed, and the world turned black and white again.

Li Chuyi looked again, and this time he really found something. In the crowd, there were some figures covered by various colors of smoke.

"Did you see it?" The Taoist took a sip of wine and asked.

Li Chuyi nodded: "Who are they?"

The Taoist laughed and said: "They are the geese."
