Chapter 31 Storage Bag
Just like when he came, Li Chuyi found a comfortable pit on the Taoist's gourd, sat in it and flew out with the Taoist. Zi Yuan had already returned to Li Chuyi's Demon-Subduing Mirror with the "Book of the Netherworld" and the Soul-Nourishing Bead given by Li Chuyi, and devoted herself to cultivation.
Li Chuyi sat on the gourd, silently holding the animal skin sword mixed with stardust iron, playing with the soft jade talisman, and occasionally opening the white jade bottle given by the Taoist to smell it. The bottle contained the inner elixir obtained on the second floor.
Looking at Li Chuyi, who was overjoyed and laughing all the time, the Taoist couldn't help rubbing his forehead.
"You little brat, are you afraid of death?"
Li Chuyi looked at the Taoist priest strangely: "Nonsense, of course I'm afraid!"
"You're afraid of death, but you're still showing off? Aren't you afraid that these treasures will be seen by others and come to kill you for them?"
Li Chuyi scratched his head and said as a matter of course: "Who dares? Don't you have your master?"
The Taoist priest rolled his eyes in anger and said angrily: "What if I can't beat them? What if there are too many people and I can't protect you? What will you do?"
Looking at the Taoist priest blankly, Li Chuyi thought for a long time before whispering: "What should I do?"
Looking at Li Chuyi speechlessly, the Taoist priest couldn't even muster the energy to get angry. After staring at him for a long time, the Taoist gritted his teeth and said, "What should I do? Are you a pig? Of course I have to hide it! Have you forgotten what your master taught you? I don't show it, I have to be low-key!"
Looking around himself, Li Chuyi looked up at the Taoist and asked weakly, "Master, this jade talisman and this bottle are okay, but this long sword is almost as tall as me, where can I hide it?"
The Taoist's face suddenly changed, with a gentle smile on his face, looking at Li Chuyi with loving eyes.
"My dear disciple, Master knows that you have no place to store these treasures, so Master has prepared a magic weapon for you a long time ago, look!"
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and saw a pill-sized sachet appeared in front of him. There was a thin rope on the sachet, which looked like a pendant hanging around the neck.
Although it was obvious at first glance that this was just a pendant, Li Chuyi knew that the thing the Taoist took out would definitely not be so simple, so he humbly asked: "Master, what is this?"
"This thing is powerful. Its scientific name is Qiankun Bag, commonly known as storage bag. It is a magic weapon used by monks to store personal belongings. With this thing, you don't have to carry a lot of bags when you go out. Just put it in it. When you need it, you just need to think about it and the things will appear in your hands!"
The Taoist explained with a smile.
"In addition, this storage bag in my hand is not an ordinary mortal. Ordinary storage bags can only hold dead objects, and there is a risk of spiritual energy escaping if they are filled with spiritual energy. This storage bag of my master can not only hold dead objects, but also living objects. The spiritual energy of spiritual energy is far less than that of other ordinary items. How about it, is it powerful?"
Listening to the Taoist's hard work in selling, Li Chuyi immediately widened his eyes, staring at this "storage bag" for a long time, and suddenly looked up with a face full of grief and indignation.
"Master, you have such a good treasure, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
"You didn't have enough cultivation before, so you couldn't activate this magic weapon, so of course I couldn't give it to you!"
"But you have enough cultivation, why didn't you put all the luggage in here when we traveled, but let me carry it? I have been carrying luggage since I can remember. How old was I at that time? I can't remember clearly, probably only three or four years old. How can you bear to let a three or four-year-old child carry such heavy luggage?!"
"Only those who endure hardships can become superior people! We, who practice the great way of heaven and earth, need to cultivate ourselves first. This master is helping you to cultivate your body and help you grow!"
"Then why didn't you care about your only disciple when you came here this time, even though you obviously have this treasure, and put more sweet water and meat in it to feed your disciple? Hungry, do you know that I ate so much bread that I felt like vomiting when I saw it? "
"Little Fatty, you are a cultivator. Cultivators cultivate the great way of heaven and earth, and pay attention to the natural way and the natural way. Who doesn't have a firm heart and is not moved by external things? How can you be swayed by the small desire for food? This is to help you refine your heart!"
"Okay, you let me not be swayed by the desire for food, but why can't you get rid of the desire for men and women, and go to brothels to drink wine when you have nothing to do? Don't you need to refine your heart?"
"Nonsense, I have achieved the state of perfection in the way of Taoism, how can you, a little kid, compare? Besides, I went to the brothel to pray for salvation and do good deeds, you know nothing!"
"You...you...you...!"
Li Chuyi made the Taoist tremble with anger.
The Taoist priest looked at Li Chuyi, whose nose was about to spit fire, and passed the storage bag in his hand to his nose, and asked lightly: "Don't say you, ...
The Taoist smiled more gently, throwing and catching the storage bag in his hand.
"There is no reward without effort! Actually, I wanted to give it to you, but you seemed to be very disrespectful to me just now, so I am not going to give it to you. I decided to sell it to you!"
"Master, I was wrong. You are so generous, let me go!" Li Chuyi immediately admitted his mistake.
"Too late." The Taoist said lightly.
"Master, you know that I only have one thousand taels of silver notes left. You can't leave me nothing, right? I am also a person who has a life!"
"What does it have to do with me!" The Taoist rolled his eyes.
"Master, don't force me. At worst, I don't want it!" Li Chuyi gritted his teeth and said.
The Taoist heard this and didn't say anything. He just glanced at the jade talisman in Li Chuyi's hand, the white jade bottle in his arms, and the animal skin sword on his back, and smiled without saying a word.
Li Chuyi's face was full of grief and indignation. He knew that the Taoist had taken advantage of him. I must get this storage bag no matter what. Not to mention that I need to use it to store the three treasures around me, I must get it even for my future life.
With this treasure, I don’t need to carry a lot of luggage when I go out. I can also put some delicious food and drinks in it, so that I can enjoy a feast even in the wilderness, right?
Li Chuyi knew that this storage bag must be worth more than one thousand taels, just like the three treasures that the Taoist priest helped him extort. If it is placed outside, it must be a sky-high price, or even priceless. The reason why the Taoist priest wanted to sell it to him was just to drain the silver from his body.
Li Chuyi sighed helplessly and looked at the Taoist priest.
"Five hundred taels!"
The Taoist priest shook his head: "One thousand taels!"
"Six hundred taels!"
"One thousand taels!"
"Eight hundred, no more!"
"One thousand, forget it!"
Li Chuyi looked at the Taoist priest with tears in his eyes, and said with trembling lips: "Nine hundred taels! Just nine hundred taels! Considering our years of master-disciple relationship, you should leave me some money for food, right?! Besides, if you are too generous during the salvation and have no money, I should leave some life-saving money so that we don't have to sleep on the street and starve to death in a foreign land, right?"
The Taoist priest thought about it after hearing this, and nodded: "That makes sense! Nine hundred and fifty taels, I'll leave you fifty taels, how about that, isn't your master generous enough?"
Looking at the kind-faced Taoist priest, Li Chuyi nodded speechlessly. He turned his back to untie his belt, fumbled for a long time, and took out a small piece of paper that was folded so hard that it couldn't be folded any more. When he unfolded it, it was the 1,000-liang silver note that the Taoist had left for Li Chuyi.
Li Chuyi took out nine pieces and looked at the Taoist.
"Master, one hundred liang each, what if there is no fifty liang?"
"It's okay, Master can find it." After saying that, he stretched out his hand, and a fifty-liang silver note appeared in the Taoist's hand. Li Chuyi looked carefully for a long time but couldn't figure out where the Taoist took it out from. He didn't know it before, but now Li Chuyi knows that the Taoist probably has other storage bags to store his own things.
After taking the fifty-liang silver note and the sachet-like storage bag, Li Chuyi folded the silver note repeatedly at a very fast speed, and then carefully hid it in the secret pocket of his crotch. He patted his crotch, moved his body, and felt that it was not in the way and safe enough, then he carefully looked at this magical storage bag.
Seeing Li Chuyi's useless look, the Taoist looked at the banknotes in his hand, and the banknotes disappeared with a wave of his hand. After thinking for a while, the Taoist raised his hand slightly, put his palm close to his nose and sniffed carefully, frowned at Li Chuyi and said: "I say, stinky boy, can you hide it in a cleaner place in the future? Every time I take your banknotes, my hands are full of fishy smell. Are you disgusted?!"
Li Chuyi secretly rolled his eyes, ignored the Taoist, and studied the new thing in his hand with a focused face.
I saw that this sachet was the size of a pill and looked like a small sachet. I didn't feel it until I took it in my hand. This thing was neither leather nor cloth. I didn't know what it was made of. There were many complicated patterns embroidered on the black and red material, which looked very delicate.
According to the Taoist, Li Chuyi poured a trace of his mind and his magic power into the sachet. Suddenly, a room-sized space appeared in his mind. He had a strange feeling, as if as long as he thought about it, he could store what he wanted to store in this space.
Looking at the jade talisman at hand, Li Chuyi's mind moved, and the jade talisman suddenly disappeared from his hand and appeared in the space in his mind.
Li Chuyi smiled and stored the other two treasures and other miscellaneous items in this space, repeatedly storing and taking them out, having a lot of fun.
"You look so useless, it really embarrasses me." The Taoist looked at Li Chuyi and curled his lips in disdain.
"Boy, I tell you, just hang this thing around your neck, don't take it out casually, and don't let outsiders see it. As long as this thing is with you, you don't need to hold it in your hand to store and take things. If you let others see this storage bag, be careful that they will kill you and take the treasure."
"But, what if I am caught and stripped naked? What if I am not wearing clothes when I take a bath? Won't I still be seen?"
The Taoist rolled his eyes and said proudly: "How can the things I made be so simple? Try it on and see."
Li Chuyi hung it around his neck as he was told, and saw that the sachet gradually disappeared. If it weren't for the touch on his neck, Li Chuyi would have thought it really disappeared. Li Chuyi was startled and looked carefully. The sachet somehow reappeared in his eyes, but as long as he shifted his mind and didn't pay attention to it, it would gradually fade away and become invisible.
The Taoist's move was indeed extraordinary. Li Chuyi couldn't help but give the Taoist a thumbs up.
The Taoist looked indifferent, as if it was nothing to mention, and continued to sit on the gourd to pretend to be a fairy.
