Chapter 31 Robbery
Yu Qi ignored Taoist Daguang's words and walked forward first. Taoist Daguang saw this and followed closely behind him: "Say boy, Taoist Master, I'm not joking with you. I'm afraid you are so sneaky and powerful."
I have never seen it. Even if you meet a powerful person, you may not be able to get any benefits if you meet him. Although you have a star destiny, your destiny is just a destiny, and your origin has not yet awakened."
Yu Qi turned around and looked at Taoist Daguang with disdain: "As a monk, it is your duty to subjugate demons, so why should you be afraid of evil spirits? Besides, I just passed by the Lishui River, and I didn't step in with one foot.
"
"It will be too late by the time you step in!" Daguang Taoist couldn't help but advise.
Yu Qi ignored him and quickly disappeared into the crowd, leaving Taoist Da Guang standing at the head of the village. Looking at Yu Qi's back from a distance, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm afraid I can't stay in this village! How dare this stupid Qing go there?
On the banks of the Lishui River, once a sneaky person steps out of the water and reaches the shore, the whole village will not be spared."
"I have the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, and now the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife has condensed a trace of its origin. Protecting myself is no longer a problem!" Yu Qi's thoughts flowed in his mind, not to mention that he was an expert and bold, and he was thinking about the Taoist Water Mansion's legacy. If he could
After taking away the opportunity of Ziwei and swallowing the treasures of the Water Mansion, I can practice Tiangang Transformation at an unknown speed many times faster.
Moreover, he didn't believe Daguang Taoist's words at all. He didn't believe that the dignified Yizhou Hou Mansion could not suppress even a mere evil spirit.
Daguang Taoist used his destiny to fulfill Ziwei, which had already formed a knot in Yu Qi's heart, so he didn't bother to argue with Daguang Taoist.
As the saying goes, there is nothing more courageous than a skilled person.
Looking at Li Shui from a distance, a thick layer of ice spreads on Li Shui, and nothing unusual can be seen.
Looking at the Lishui River from a distance, a group of farmers were lying on the ice and trying their best to dig holes in the ice.
Oxygen enters the river through the ice holes, and the river water ripples. The fish rush towards the ice holes desperately, greedily devouring the nutrients in the air.
"Hahaha, I caught it! I caught it!" A man stood up from the ice with an excited look, and raised a three-pound catfish with wet arms.
The man's words immediately stimulated everyone present, especially the huge owl, which made everyone even more excited. A group of skinny figures, like skeletons, were desperately trying to cut through the ice on the banks of the Lishui River.
"I don't think what Taoist Daguang said is that mysterious. Could this old Taoist priest be trying to trick me?" Yu Qi looked at the people digging through the ice and catching fish on the Li River, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"That's right! That's right! There must be some secret to this. I am the third auxiliary star in destiny. Daguang Taoist people were afraid that I would take away Ziwei's opportunity, so they lied and deceived me into Tao Mansion and couldn't come out!" Yu Qi thought in his mind.
As he wandered around, his eyes swept across the crowd, and at some point a man dressed in red appeared in front of his eyes on the shore.
Wearing red clothes and holding this oil-paper umbrella, she stood quietly on the shore. Her long black hair flowed down both sides of her shoulders, and the breeze rippled with fragrance.
The woman's body is slim and slender, and her clothes are well-tailored. At first glance, she is not an ordinary girl. The red silk satin is as delicate and beautiful as the fiery red sun. Standing on the shore, it attracts all the light.
The woman just held up the oil-paper umbrella and looked at Luoshui quietly, standing there motionless. The refugees in the river who were worried about their lives turned a blind eye and just kept digging holes in the ice.
"Look at her back, she must be a rare beauty!" Yu Qi said to himself: "Compared to Zhou Si, she is no less beautiful. Her back has already turned all living beings upside down."
As if aware of Yu Qi's gaze, the figure in red turned around and looked around, their eyes facing each other. Those black and white, emotionless eyes shocked Yu Qi's breath, and his brain went blank for a while.
When he came back to his senses, he quickly took a closer look. Where is the woman in red by the river?
Where are the refugees digging on the ice?
Empty!
Only the cold wind blows and the willows sway.
"Impossible, how could I see it wrong!" Yu Qi was shocked and uncertain, not daring to stay by the Lishui River any longer, and continued walking towards Yizhou City.
"Click~"
With the sound of bones, the muscles and bones all over Yu Qi's body shook. He kneaded the secrets in his hands, and his body straightened up. He instantly transformed into another face, looked at the ancient city, and then walked away.
This was Yu Qi's first time entering the city, but it broke all his illusions about Yizhou City.
There was a group of soldiers standing at the city gate, gathering together in twos and threes and chatting lazily, while the people with yellow and skinny faces were walking in front of the city gate.
In Yizhou City, the roads are wide but full of potholes, which are comparable to those in urban villages in the 21st century.
No, it is even far inferior to a village in the city!
Movies and TV shows are all lies!
A yellow-faced and skinny vendor set up a stall on the roadside, shivering in the cold wind.
The clothes in tatters and rags are not an exaggeration to describe the group of people in front of them.
"It's nothing more than that!" Yu Qi shook his head and walked all the way through the city, looking at the neighbors on both sides.
It does have a bit of a look in movies and TV shows, but it's too different. The old restaurant and the uneven ground all tell the story of the backwardness of the times.
"Hey, there's a shop over there!" Yu Qi saw a stall not far away, displaying various groceries, silks, and gadgets: "Boss, do you have umbrellas for sale?"
"Umbrella?" The boss was a man in his thirties. Hearing this, his eyes showed a shrewdness unique to businessmen. He looked Yu Qi up and down, and then whispered: "Boy, it's winter, are you looking for fun in me?
I have a lot of fur coats and coats. What kind of umbrella do you want to buy? Who can use an umbrella in winter?"
"Gua Wazi, am I happy to be looking for you?" The boss slowly rolled up his sleeves and looked at Yu Qi with eager eyes. His slightly oily face looked like he was having a good life.
"Who said you can only sell Huqiu and not buy umbrellas in winter?" Yu Qi smiled and looked at the boss: "It snows heavily in winter, and it is difficult to get your clothes wet. I only have this one piece of clothes at home.
Can’t you buy an umbrella to cover the heavy snow?”
The boss looked Yu Qi up and down, and then said: "I have a few fans here that were left over from last year's sale, but the price is not cheap. They were all not sold because they were too expensive."
"Let's take a look!" Yu Qi heard this without comment.
"Wait here!" The boss turned around and walked back to the shop. Not long after, he brought in a large tube with five or six oil-paper umbrellas inside.
"My oil-paper umbrella is a masterpiece left over from last year. The handle is made of ten-year-old pear wood, and the frame is made of thirty-year-old spring tree branches. It is steamed, smoked, baked, shaped, and dyed with oil before it can be shaped! The umbrella on it
The surface is made of authentic cowhide, waterproof and leak-proof, and has gone through dozens of processes. The painting on it is the handiwork of Wu Daozi, a master from Jiangnan. You should take a good look at it." The boss looked at Yu Qi with his eyes, as if he would not buy it as long as he said it.
, just blow his dog’s head off.
"Oh?" Yu Qi picked up an oil-paper umbrella unhurriedly, then gently opened it to block the sunlight in the sky.
The oil-paper umbrella is ordinary brown in color, but its workmanship is fine but no worse than the umbrellas of later generations. On the edge of the umbrella, there are a few strokes of lonely plum blossoms, and the bright red reveals a touch of heat.
"Yes, it's a good thing!" As soon as Yu Qi took advantage of it, he knew that this umbrella was definitely not an ordinary item outside, and his eyes showed a hint of surprise: "Look at your small store, I didn't expect that there is such a thing."
"Craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors for hundreds of years!" The boss looked at Yu Qi: "Since you are buying an umbrella in winter, I will give you a discount. This umbrella only costs you ten taels of silver."
"Whoa~" Yu Qi closed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand without looking at the other umbrellas in the tube: "Three taels of silver!"
"Boy, you are kidding me! You can't even invite Wu Daozi for three taels of silver!" The boss asked, his face suddenly darkening.
"This is too much money, I'm afraid I don't have that much money!" Yu Qi took the umbrella, then turned around and ran away without saying a word: "I owe you!"
"Damn it, in broad daylight, how dare you..." Before the boss could finish his words, Yu Qi had already lost track of him.
"Someone is coming! Robbery! Robbery!"
The boss ran all the way out of the city, where was Yu Qi's shadow?
"Boss Jia, what are you yelling about?" At this moment, the city gate guards were alerted and looked at the boss one after another.
"Damn, I didn't expect that today I was tricked by a half-grown baby! You little brat, how can you open a shop in Yizhou City without some tricks? Let me find out you little brat and have to break your legs.
No!" Boss Jia was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.
"Robbery is a last resort. I can't keep using the Tao family's money!" Yu Qi took the oil-paper umbrella and looked at it carefully before putting it under his arm with satisfaction. His body changed back to its original appearance, and then
Turning the clothes over, the color underneath was revealed.
It’s actually a two-sided shirt!
In an instant, Yu Qi turned into another person.
"The handiwork of everyone in Jiangnan? Haha!" Yu Qi smiled softly, then stretched out his palm and touched the oil paper umbrella. The plum blossoms on it were shattered by the force and turned into powder and fell.
"The oil-paper umbrella is a good oil-paper umbrella, but it's a pity that I don't have the money to buy it! Why buy it when you can just rob it?" Yu Qi shook her head.
"Hey, congratulations to the host. You completed a robbery and got a chance to draw a lottery. Does the host want to draw a lottery?" The cold female voice of the system sounded in his ears.
"Lottery system?" Yu Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then slowly looked at his oil-paper umbrella, with a look of confusion in his eyes: "System, please tell me carefully, how is your lottery mechanism calculated?
"
"Let it go!" The system's cold voice was still crude.
"Let it happen???" Yu Qi's face was full of questions, and her eyes showed a look of confusion.
"May I ask if the host will draw a lottery?"
"Save it!" Yu Qi said without thinking, then walked back with the oil-paper umbrella under his arm.
Chapter completed!
