Chapter 957 Planting Pears? A Sloppy Taoist Priest From Mount Laoshan?

Seeing that all the pears had been divided, the Taoist used a shovel to chop the tree, clinking for a long time before it was cut. The Taoist carried the pear tree full of branches and leaves on his shoulders and walked away leisurely.

Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, the besiegers also dispersed one after another. Suddenly, the vendor's dry howl was heard again: "Why are my pears gone?"

Everyone looked and saw that the vendor's cart of pears, which was originally full, had long been empty. The anxious vendor circled around his cart.

"It must be the Taoist. He stole my pears." Fortunately, the vendor was not stupid. He knew that he had met a Taoist monk, and the pears that the Taoist had just divided were all his.

Looking more carefully, one of the handlebars was missing, and the slag was newly cut. The vendor was very angry and hurried to chase the Taoist.

Turning a corner, he saw the chopped handlebar thrown under the corner. Only then did he realize that the pear tree that the Taoist had just chopped was his handlebar, and the Taoist had disappeared.

The pears that he had worked so hard to grow, not only did he not sell them for a penny, but he also took his own cart away. All this made the vendor sit on the ground in despair, and kept muttering: "My pears~~My pears~~"

"Young Master~~" Xin Shisinian looked at the vendor's experience and sympathized with him: "How could the Taoist be like this? I just~~"

"Now you know that sometimes you can't draw conclusions too early!" Hao Shuai touched Shisinian's forehead and said, "Now let's go find the Taoist."

After that, Hao Shuai took out a silver ingot, threw it at the vendor's feet with a "dong" sound, and said: "I will consider your pears as my purchase."

"Thank you, Young Master~~Thank you, Young Master~~" The already disheartened vendor quickly put away the silver in front of him, and kowtowed to Hao Shuai excitedly to thank him.

"Stop knocking, go back early!" Hao Shuai glanced at the vendor, and took Xin Shisinian to the direction where the Taoist disappeared.

...

In a forest outside Yangzhou City~~

The sloppy Taoist priest may also know that he did not do things properly, so he immediately slipped away and walked quickly towards the outside of Yangzhou City.

After leaving Yangzhou City, he directly used the magic to go deep into the mountains, but when he ran out of twenty or thirty miles and was about to enter the forest, he found that a man and a woman blocked his way.

"I am Chang Yue from Shangqing Temple in Laoshan, and I am honored!"

The sloppy Taoist priest stopped and looked at the man and woman in front of him cautiously.

The scene in front of him could not help but be cautious. Although he did not sense the fluctuation of magic power from the two people, it was not normal for such an ordinary man and woman to appear in the wilderness.

"So you are the Taoist priest of Laoshan. I am Hao Ren. I am honored to meet you~~" The man who blocked the road, Hao Shuai who changed his face and used a vest, also returned the greeting and said, "This is my wife Cuihua."

Xin Shisiniang: "..."

"Who are you two? Are you waiting for me?" Taoist Chang Yue asked.

"It's nothing big. I just watched a good show and became curious. I want to see who directed this show." Hao Shuai said with a hint of meaning.

Hao Shuai's words made Taoist Chang Yue's eyes shrink, his body slightly tilted, and he took a small step back, saying, "It's just a little trick, but it made Master Hao laugh."

If Taoist Chang Yue was just on guard just now, he is now on full alert.

You know, after he divided the pears, he ran straight out of the city without any delay, and the two people in front of him were able to follow him closely and stop him in front of him, which can explain a lot of problems.

Hao Shuai ignored the Taoist Chang Yue's vigilance and said frankly: "It is indeed a trick, but do you know that your trick ruined the livelihood of the merchant's family? Isn't this a bit too much?!"

Hao Shuai's tone was a bit stiff when he said the latter part.

Thinking back to the first time Hao Shuai read the story of "planting pears", unlike others who were angry at the stinginess of the merchant, he despised the Taoist priest.

You know, the pears were planted by the merchant with great effort and pushed to the city to sell, which might be the hope of their family's survival.

But the Taoist priest asked the merchant to give him one, and if he didn't give it to him, he would use a trick to cheat him.

This is a bit unreasonable!

After all, giving you is a favor, not giving is a duty, and no one owes anyone anything!

I had only seen this story in writing before, but now this scene is being played out in front of Hao Shuai. Naturally, he had to stop the Taoist priest and relieve the anger that he had been holding back for several years.

Hao Shuai's questioning made Taoist Chang Yue's face change, and finally he bowed his head and said: "Uh~~ This is because I didn't think it through."

No way~~

Facing two people he couldn't understand, he had to be timid!

"Well, but you have eaten the pears, how to settle this account?" Hao Shuai said bluntly.

"I will go back and find ways to compensate the vendor."

After saying that, Chang Yue planned to turn around and leave here.

"Since you want to compensate, then Taoist priest, please compensate me!" Hao Shuai said.

Chang Yue Taoist priest: "???"

He was a little confused and didn't understand what Hao Shuai meant.

"Before I left the city, I gave a silver ingot to the vendor, which was considered to have bought his pears." Hao Shuai explained: "Now you can say that Taoist priest just divided my pears in the city."

"Shouldn't I be compensated in this case?!"

Chang Yue Taoist priest: "..."

Now Chang Yue Taoist priest is very sure that Hao Shuai and Xin Shisinian are coming for him.

"Isn't it said that people who practice Taoism cannot establish karma with others without authorization?" Hao Shuai said, "Now I wonder how Chang wants to end the karma between us?"

Hao Shuai also saw that Chang Yue saw through his intentions, but would he care?

He just wanted to find a reason to find bad luck with this Taoist priest.

"Then I wonder how I can end this karma?" Taoist priest Chang Yue counted with his fingers, and Hao Shuai really got it right.

Seeing Taoist priest Chang Yue being so frank, Hao Shuai didn't hide it and said bluntly: "I have been very interested in the magic of Laoshan since I was a child, so I want to~~"

"Sorry, I don't accept disciples!" Hao Shuai was interrupted by Taoist priest Chang Yue before he finished speaking, and he completely forgot his vigilance against Hao Shuai just now.

Hao Shuai looked at Taoist Chang Yue, who felt good about himself, speechlessly, and said unhappily: "I don't want to become your disciple, but I want to borrow the magic of Laoshan from you."

"What?" Hao Shuai's words shocked Taoist Chang Yue's face, "This is impossible. The magic of Laoshan is the foundation of our sect and cannot be passed on to outsiders."

"No?" Hao Shuai was not angry after being rejected bluntly, but said calmly: "So the Taoist doesn't want to settle the cause and effect!"

"There are many ways to settle the cause and effect. I can compensate you in other ways." Taoist Chang Yue insisted.

"Hehe~~"

Hao Shuai sneered and said: "There are indeed many ways to settle the cause and effect, and one of them is the simplest and clearest way."
