Chapter 447 Mission 044

Xiao Yu found a seat in the corner of the lobby on the first floor of the inn and sat down. He ordered a few side dishes and ate them. He looked no different from an ordinary scholar.

This town is not big, and there are few inns. The inn in the center of the town naturally has a very good business, and the lobby is soon filled with people.

Xiao Yu ate slowly, glancing at the innkeeper from time to time, thinking about what he had just deduced about what happened to the innkeeper.

Xiao Yu rarely does such things as predicting other people's fates, because the future is unknown and forcing predictions will cause backlash. However, although this world is a world of high martial arts, the people in this world are still mortal bodies. It is not difficult for Xiao Yu to calculate, so he chose to use this method to build his reputation.

Halfway through the meal, a woman in a long skirt hurried out from behind the inn and exclaimed to the shopkeeper: "Master, my mother is dying!"

The fat shopkeeper, who was making calculations at the counter with a smile on his face, suddenly changed his face and said in horror: "How is it possible? Didn't I ask my mother for the talisman paper given by the Master of the True One Temple? Didn't you give me the talisman water?"

The woman wiped her tears and said, "I drank it, but my mother still feels uncomfortable after drinking it. It doesn't work at all!"

The shopkeeper had already rushed into the backyard of the inn, and the woman followed him.

Many people heard the conversation between the couple, and Xiao Yu heard the guests talking softly.

"The shopkeeper's fate is bad! My father died a long time ago, and his widowed mother worked hard to raise him, and now she can't do it anymore! It's all fate!"

"The shopkeeper is a filial son! The talisman paper of Master Zhenyi Temple is very expensive. It costs one hundred taels of silver. It is said that it can cure all diseases. But why is it that the shopkeeper's mother drank the talisman paper water and it is not used?"

"The shopkeeper must be sincere in asking for the talisman! He said he is a filial son, but who can guarantee that he is really a filial son? Maybe he is just pretending, and he just took a fake talisman and pretended to be the talisman of the True One Temple!"

"Don't talk nonsense! The shopkeeper has been running an inn in Qingping Town for so many years, who can't be like the shopkeeper?"

…………

Xiao Yu listened silently, did not stretch out his chopsticks to eat, got up and walked towards the backyard of the inn.

The waiter who was helping the shopkeeper greet the customers saw him and quickly came up to stop him: "Hey! Sir, you can't enter the backyard! That's where the shopkeeper's family lives, and you haven't paid for the meal yet!"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly: "Don't stop me from saving people!" Before he finished speaking, he disappeared from the front of the waiter as if teleporting, came directly behind the waiter, and then continued to walk towards the backyard.

Many people in the inn saw this scene, and everyone was shocked.

Especially the waiter in the store, as the person involved, he felt the deepest feeling. His eyes were blurred, and he found that the person he wanted to stop was gone. When he looked back, the person had already walked into the backyard!

The common people in Qingping Town have too little experience. All they know about Jianghu people is that they look menacing with machetes, which is similar to the gangsters in the town.

So when I saw Xiao Yulu's hand, my first reaction was that of a living god!

If they weren't ignorant, they wouldn't have been deceived into spending a hundred taels to buy some talisman to cure people's illnesses, and they were convinced that it would be able to cure all diseases!

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Xiao Yu quietly entered the shopkeeper's mother's ward. Seeing the pain in the old lady's face, he knew with a glance that the old lady had a serious stomach problem. She had a stomachache and couldn't eat, so she drank the so-called talisman paper. How could a dirty thing like water not make the attack worse?

Both the shopkeeper and his wife felt that the old lady couldn't survive it. He just threw himself on the bedside and cried bitterly. He secretly hated himself for spending money to buy such useless talismans to treat his mother's illness instead of using this money. Send my mother to see a doctor in a big city.

Xiao Yu, who had not been noticed by the two of them, suddenly said: "Infinite Heavenly Lord! This old lady can still be saved."

When the shopkeeper heard "Infinite Heavenly Lord", he subconsciously got angry, thinking that another Taoist priest was here to trick him. However, when he turned around, he was shocked to find that there was a scholar standing behind him.

Xiao Yu changed his scholar's clothes into Taoist robes in front of the two of them. This small trick shocked the two of them. The shopkeeper who wanted to scold them stammered: " Tao, Taoist Master...you are really..."

Xiao Yu smiled and said nothing. He looked at the old lady, stretched out his hand, and a colorful brilliance enveloped the old lady's body. The spiritual energy entered her body and nurtured her dilapidated and aging body. Then the shopkeeper and his wife watched helplessly. I looked at the old lady who was originally like an old woman, her white hair turned black and her wrinkles became fewer. She seemed to be ten years younger. The pained expression on his face also relaxed.

Xiao Yu easily solved the old lady's problem and asked the shopkeeper: "What kind of talisman did you give the old lady to drink?"

Seeing that Xiao Yu was obviously a real expert with this method, the shopkeeper dared to refuse, so he quickly went to get the remaining talismans.

Xiao Yu took a look and knew that there was some real energy on the ghost-drawing talisman, which could make people feel refreshed and refreshed, but it was nonsense to say it could cure illnesses.

It seems that the real master is a liar just like the original master. However, the master of the real master seems to be more successful in deceiving people than the original master. He actually used some talisman to cure diseases to defraud money.

The original owner could only use words to deceive people about the disaster and make them spend money to buy disaster relief methods. The master of Zhenyi Guan directly deceived those who were sick, and he did not know how many people who were seriously ill died due to deception.

Xiao Ying casually threw the talisman paper brought by the shopkeeper on the ground and said lightly: "This talisman paper is of no use to the old lady's illness. If someone in the family gets sick in the future, it is better to spend money to see a famous doctor."

Although many doctors in ancient times were also half-baked, it was better than using talisman paper and water.

Seeing the shopkeeper nodding repeatedly and believing in his words, Xiao Ying smiled slightly, looked at the old lady who had woken up, and turned to leave the backyard of the inn.

He came to the lobby again, and the guests did not leave, looking at him curiously.

As soon as Xiao Ying came out, the shopkeeper immediately chased him out. The waiter walked up to the shopkeeper when he saw him. Just when he wanted to explain why he couldn't stop Xiao Ying from entering the backyard, he was surprised to find that the shopkeeper's wife was behind him, supporting a familiar old lady and slowly walked out: "This, this is not..."

Everyone was surprised. Didn't they say that the old lady was about to die? Who is this old lady who looks much younger and has no symptoms at all?

The shopkeeper didn't care about other people's surprise. He quickly chased Xiao Ying and bowed again: "Thank you Taoist priest for using your magical powers to save my mother!"

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Xiao Ying waved his hand and said to the shopkeeper: "If the shopkeeper wants to thank me, why don't you go with me to the Zhenyi Temple to confront the Zhenyi Temple Master and be a witness?"

It is impossible for him to miss such a good stepping stone to brush his reputation. The reason why he came to this small town is to save the shopkeeper and then go to the Zhenyi Temple Master whose reputation spread to several major states around.

The shopkeeper is just an ordinary innkeeper in a small town. Even though he felt sorry for the 100 taels of silver for buying talisman paper, he never thought of trouble with the Zhenyi Temple Master, because a noble guest like the Zhenyi Temple Master is not something he, a commoner, can afford to offend.

But the shopkeeper was very confident in the Taoist priest who looked calm and composed in front of him, and agreed immediately.

Xiao Ying smiled and said, "The shopkeeper is willing to lend a helping hand to me, so I will not treat you unfairly. Don't worry, I will send you back after a while."

After saying that, he grabbed the shopkeeper's left shoulder with his right hand, and then the two living people disappeared in front of everyone.

Only a group of people were left dumbfounded.

Xiao Ying led the shopkeeper out from behind a tree. Even if someone saw them suddenly appear, they would probably think they were dazzled because of the tree trunks and branches.

The shopkeeper stared at Zhenyi Mountain not far away in front of him, and could vaguely see a towering Taoist temple at the end of the direction where the crowd was rushing.

He suddenly turned his head and asked Xiao Ying in astonishment: "Master, are we in Zhouchen Mansion?" He swallowed nervously.

Xiao Ying nodded slightly: "It may take several days to walk from Qingping Town to Zhouchen Mansion, which is too slow. I will just move you here." He looked at Zhenyi Temple on the mountain, "Let's go, we are also going to pay our respects to Zhenyi Temple."

Xiao Ying and the shopkeeper followed the crowd up the mountain and came to the gate of Zhenyi Temple, but were suddenly stopped by the Taoist boy guarding the gate: "Daoyou, may I ask why you are here?"

Xiao Ying looked down at his Taoist robe and suddenly felt that the robe seemed a little inconvenient.

He replied: "I heard that the master of Zhenyi Temple has superb talisman paper skills and can cure all diseases, so I brought a guest who bought talisman paper to see the master of Zhenyi Temple and ask a few questions."

His voice was obviously not loud, but it spread throughout the entire Zhenyi Mountain. Immediately, tourists on and off the mountain heard what Xiao Ying said and knew that someone was coming to mess up the place.

At this time, the shopkeeper took the initiative to step forward and complained: "The talisman paper of the Zhenyi Temple Master can't cure my mother's illness at all. If it weren't for the good luck of meeting the Taoist priest who saved her, I'm afraid my mother would have been killed by the talisman paper!"

The Taoist boy was very experienced in handling this matter and said calmly: "That's because you are unfilial and your heart was not sincere when you asked for the talisman paper!"

Xiao Ying smiled suddenly: "What a dishonest heart! If it works, it means the talisman paper is effective. If it doesn't work, it means the pilgrim is not sincere. The Zhenyi Temple Master is really good at deceiving people!"
