Chapter 182 New Year's Big Deal (Happy New Year)

Inside the Sanqing Hall.

The old Taoist looked at Lin Ye with a serious expression, and asked, "Did you meet someone from the third pawn shop?"

"Yeah." Lin Ye nodded: "Yes, the guy asked me if I had anything to pawn, or what I wanted, and he could do it for me. I knew it was bragging when I heard it, so I ignored him." .”

"He's not bragging, he really has this ability, but it's a good thing you didn't make a deal with him." The old man looked a little complicated, "It's like a quagmire, once you step into it, it will only sink deeper and deeper."

Hearing what the old man said, Lin Ye knew he was asking the right question, but the real world and the different world are two different worlds. Does the third pawn shop have such a wide business?

Or is it just a pawn shop with the same name, just as there is Buddhism and Taoism in the real world, so does this world.

But thinking of this, Lin Ye became even more curious about the third pawnshop. You must know that Buddhism and Taoism are a large system, which is a cultivation inheritance. Can a small pawnshop be compared with Buddhism and Taoism?

"Master, what is the origin of this third pawnshop? It looks very mysterious?"

"The sky is one, the earth is two, and the pawnshop is the third. Do you think it's great?" Seeing Lin Ye's puzzled expression, the old Taoist explained, "I haven't seen the third pawnshop as a teacher, but it's listed in the classics of our Taoist temple." According to records, when the third pawn shop appears, it is the dusk known as the gods and demons."

"What's the meaning?"

"The third pawn shop will only appear in the Dharma-ending era, but it's not the Dharma-ending era now. It's really strange."

The old Taoist muttered something, and Lin Ye answered in his heart, the different world is not the end of the Dharma, but the real world is.

From this point of view, the third pawn shop is also across the world, but it only appeared in the Dharma-ending era.

"Master, why did the third pawn shop appear in the Dharma-ending Era? Could it be that they have enemies in other ages?"

"I don't know about it as a teacher. It's just mentioned in the classics of our Qingfeng Temple that this third pawnshop is mentioned. Whenever a third pawnshop appears, it must mean the coming of the end of the Dharma. Looking for other people to trade and obtain other people's souls, in order to recast new gods."

"Recast a new god?"

Lin Ye was really stunned this time. Is the mission of the third pawn shop so strong?

"In the Age of Dharma, the gods have disappeared, and people have lost faith in the gods. Only by choosing the purest soul can they summon the appearance of the gods again. For the third pawnshop, what he needs is the pure soul."

The old Taoist glanced at Lin Ye, and said: "The reason why I said that it is a good thing for you not to agree is because once you are targeted by the third pawnshop, it means that your soul is the most valuable in his eyes. And what you want, in the eyes of the third pawnshop, is dispensable and can be given away at will. Even if the first transaction you give is not a soul, as long as you taste the sweetness of the transaction, once The next time you go down, you will end up trading your entire soul."

"Really or not, I can meet all requirements, so I want to live forever?"

"It's also possible, as long as you can pay the equivalent price." The old Taoist looked very serious, and continued: "Don't think that the teacher is deliberately scaring you. The strength of the third pawnshop is beyond what you can imagine. If you use force against the pawnshop, the final price will be to implicate the entire sect in being expelled overnight."

"Master, you also said that the third pawn shop only appeared in the Dharma-ending Era, and the strong people at that time were not very strong even if they thought about it."

Lin Ye seized the loopholes in the old Taoist words to refute, but the old Taoist sighed and said: "People's desires are endless. Although the third pawnshop is mysterious, it is recorded in our Qingfengguan classics. The same goes for other big forces. There will also be that the third pawnshop only appeared in the Dharma-ending era, but it does not mean that it disappeared in other eras, it is just hidden, and many people are looking for the third pawnshop for various reasons. "

"Isn't this the same as Qin Shihuang's pursuit of longevity?" Lin Ye muttered.

"Emperor Qin Shihuang?"

"What I mean is that, just like the emperors of some dynasties, if they want to obtain longevity, they may also go to the third pawnshop to make a deal."

"That's right, but compared to the longevity of secular emperors, more practitioners want to find a third pawnshop. According to the records of Qingfeng Temple, there used to be a great sect with strong men like clouds. The sect claims that it is only one step away from the Flying Immortal, and the head of the sect has searched all over the world for the whereabouts of the third pawn shop, and it is said that the sect really found it."

"And then?" Lin Ye asked.

"Then, all the disciples from the master to the new disciples of the sect disappeared overnight, and the entire sect was also delisted. The world found a token at the gate of the sect, with the word "third" engraved on it."

"So exaggerated?"

"Exaggeration? The gods may fall, but the third pawnshop has existed forever. Remember what you said as a teacher. Since you have escaped, then don't deal with the third pawnshop. Of course, there is a great possibility that what you encounter is a fake From the third pawn shop."

"There are still fake ones?"

"The world is dangerous. The third pawn shop may not be heard of by ordinary practitioners, but it is not a secret to some big forces. Naturally, some people will want to fake it for personal gain."

Lin Ye thought for a while, and finally understood the meaning of the old saying.

If the emperors of all dynasties pursue longevity, then there will naturally be so-called liar Taoist priests, and when people face desires, they will unconsciously lower their IQs.

"You just need to know about the third pawnshop. Regardless of whether it is true or not, since you refused, the other party will not come to you again in a short time. There is an important matter for you to handle as a teacher."

"No, master, you should leave it to the elder brother."

Hearing the old man's words, Lin Ye quickly refused. What a joke, it's impossible for the old man to think of himself for anything good.

"As a teacher, I originally wanted to hand it over to your senior brother, but after much deliberation, it is more reliable for you to handle this matter. This is a great thing. Today is New Year's Eve. We Qingfengguan have enjoyed the incense of the people in the city for a year. Today is a day of gratitude." On that day, I drew 300 peace talismans for my master, disciple, you give these peace talismans to all the people in the city."

"That's all?"

It is a good thing to give peace talismans to the common people, but Lin Ye always feels that things are not that simple.

"That's the matter, by the way, do you have broken silver on you?"

"What do you want that thing for? I always carry bank notes with me."

Lin Ye put on a show. He habitually put banknotes on his body, the lowest being ten taels and the most being one thousand taels.

The old Taoist's mouth twitched. He knew that his apprentice was very rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich.

In the end, Lin Ye agreed to the old man, sending blessings, and giving feedback to customers at the end of the year, which is a good thing.

...

...

An hour later.

Lin Ye walked out of a house in the city, the smile on his face disappeared, and the old man really tricked him.

Sending blessings is indeed a good thing, but those people can't stop pestering him to let him do it. Just now, the grandson of this family fell down the day before yesterday, and the old woman kept asking him to see if there was any dirty things in the house. He said I still don't believe it, so I insisted on walking around with the mahogany sword.

The family in front was considered a rich family, and they didn't let him show any dirty things in the house, but they dragged him to show the marriage horoscope to his children. He was a Taoist priest and not a fortune-teller.

Lin Ye finally understood that this was not a New Year's reward, these big rewards at the end of the year.

No wonder the old Taoist didn't send it himself, because he was afraid of being exhausted.

However, after the dozen or so families came down, Lin Ye knew the situation of these families clearly.

It took four hours for Lin Ye to deliver all the peace symbols, and then he almost left the safety symbols and ran away.

Breeze view.

The old Taoist looked at Lin Ye with a tired face, and said with a smile, "You must have gained a lot this time."

"I have gained quite a lot. Even the widow Li in the east of the city knows what kind of man she wants to find to take over the job. I recommended the master to her, and she is quite satisfied."

"Nonsense."

"You also know nonsense, why is this work done by humans?"

Lin Ye glared at the old man, who smiled, "There's nothing you can do about being a teacher. Who told you to be rich, if you let Dawu go, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything."

Hearing what the old man said, Lin Ye was silent for a moment, he understood the meaning of what the old man said.

This time, he gave away the peace talisman, and he also met many poor people with poor conditions. Some of them were originally from good families, but something happened to their families, their family members were sick or had an accident, and the whole family had no celebration of the New Year.

Facing these families, while putting down the peace talisman, he also put down the bank notes.

In the past few hours, he has distributed nearly a thousand taels of money, and he understands why the old Taoist asked him if he had any silver.

"These are the incense burners of our Qingfengguan. Now that they are in trouble, it can be regarded as returning the incense money to them, and they will not be involved in this karma."

The old man sighed, and Lin Ye curled his lips, saying that it was true that the old man was greedy for life and afraid of death, but he couldn't find fault with the old man's behavior.

There is great love in my heart.

It's better than those Taoist temples that can only be entered.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, disciple, how much did you give in total this time?"

"About one thousand three hundred taels." Lin Ye replied after thinking for a while.

The indifferent expression on the old Taoist's face disappeared, replaced by a distressed face: "Fuck, you prodigal son, who told you to give so much? Our Qingfengguan only collected less than two hundred taels of incense money for a year. I asked you to give back a little, but I didn’t ask you to give back that much. If I knew it earlier, I would have let Dawu go. We are opening a Taoist temple, not a philanthropic hall.”

Seeing the old dao's distraught look, Lin Ye felt that he should take back his previous evaluation of the old dao.

Leaving from Qingfeng Temple, Lin Ye returned home before his butt was hot, and another guest came to the door.

"Is Junior Brother Daoji here?"

Lin Ye: "Not here."
