From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 145: It’s the same with your mouth [Long chapter, please subscribe! ]

"Mrs. Xu?!"

Wang Shuhuan was struck by lightning, and he opened his mouth wide for a long time without saying anything.
I kidnapped someone's daughter and the real owner came to find me. It's better to send it back!

Seeing Wang Shuhuan's apprehensive look, Li Yang couldn't help but laugh: "Boy, you were so decisive when you kidnapped someone, why are you getting scared now?"

"I'm not a coward. What Mrs. Xu did was wrong, and what the Xu family did was wrong too. I was trying to help Xu Yihe!" Wang Shuhuan came back to his senses and quickly refuted and explained.

"You are doing the work of a robber in the name of helping others, right?"

"No, Sister Yihe volunteered!"

At this moment, the dumplings that Wang Shuhuan ordered earlier were served, and a mouth-watering aroma filled the store.

After preparing the vinegar dipping sauce, Wang Shuhuan felt Li Yang's gaze and pushed the buns to Li Yang's table first: "Master Li, you have worked hard in exploring the spiritual energy these days. This bun must taste good. Master Li, please eat it first."

Li Yang glanced at Wang Shuhuan, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and said with a smile: "So sensible? Surely my love for you these past few months has not been in vain?"

As Li Yang spoke, he picked up a steamed dumpling. The aroma of meat and the sour taste of vinegar spread in his mouth, as if to melt his taste buds.

What Li Yang said was not wrong. After coming out of Dongting Lake, they chatted about many things. Li Yang helped Wang Shuhuan to simply refine the spiritual water he got with the sword pill into one, greatly increasing its power.

Seeing Wang Shuhuan frowning, Li Yang ate a steamed bun and pushed the steamer back to Wang Shuhuan: "Mrs. Xu is coming today, and I have already helped you get away with it."

"Also, you don't think that you and that Xu Yihe are hiding well, do you?"

Seeing Wang Shuhuan's face change, the braised pork rice and ginseng chicken soup he ordered were already served. Li Yang said while eating, "With the capabilities of the Xu and Tian families, they can find out our country's top-secret team schedule. It would be strange if you and Xu Yihe could hide it."

Wang Shuhuan listened to what Li Yang said, and then he realized how childish and ridiculous his and Xu Yihe's idea of ​​running away from home was. He asked in confusion: "Since they all know where Sister Xu and I are, why don't they take Sister Xu back?"

"Do you think they don't want to arrest you? Madam Xu directly made a report about your whereabouts and the hotel and brought it to us. Seeing that you didn't do anything out of the ordinary, she kept it a secret from the Tian family and kept silent.

Also, you idiot, just watch a movie. If you don't want to watch a campus romance movie, just watch Wolverine. Why did you buy one first row and one eighteenth row?"

Wang Shuhuan looked angry and said, "Didn't I buy consecutive seats?"

Suddenly, Wang Shuhuan seemed to realize something, his eyes lit up: "Mrs. Xu actually hid the Tian family's words. Does that mean she is also dissatisfied with Sister Xu and the Tian family's marriage, and supports me..."

"What the hell are you dreaming about!" The ginseng chicken soup was extremely delicious. After drinking two mouthfuls of the soup, Li Yang said, "They didn't arrest you, not because of you, but because of me!"

"what?"

Li Yang recalled the graceful Madam Xu in the hotel today with a strange expression: "This Madam Xu seems to have misunderstood something. You are lucky to have indirectly taken advantage of me..."

"I'm here to warn you. I've helped you get away with it this time, but no matter how you and that girl Xu Yihe argue in the future, it's your own business.
Although I am also unhappy with the Tian family, you will have to bear the consequences of your own actions and the retaliation from the Tian family if they find out."

"I have already stated to Madam Xu that you have no special relationship with me at Baiyun Mountain, and she has also tacitly agreed that you can have contact with Xu Yihe during your investigation in eastern Guangdong."

"So, young man, work hard."

Li Yang was full after having a good meal and tea, and leaned back in his chair with satisfaction.

Frankly speaking, he admired Wang Shuhuan as a high school student. He was hardworking, obedient, and his character was just passable.

But that's all I can do. Borrowing his power once when we met by chance is already the limit.

Wang Shuhuan's mood went up and down, but after the nervousness, he felt more at ease and hopeful.

At least, he and Sister Xu will not be disturbed during their time in eastern Guangdong, and that's enough.

Ding Dong, a message came from the phone, and a cream bear avatar jumped.

"Brother, I have arrived at the hotel safely!"

After sending an emoji back and turning off the phone, Wang Shuhuan seemed to have thought of something and asked attentively, "How is it, Master Li, do you need anything to eat? I think the scallion oil noodles here are pretty good."

"Who do you think I am? Eat quickly, and then I'll go back to the hotel with you."

Wang Xiaoxiao smiled innocently, scratched his head, and said, "Hey, Master, I have another question."

"Just say it."

"The sword pill was almost stolen in Dongting Lake. Now that the sword pill has been melted into the real water and refined, it will never be stolen again, right?"

Li Yang smiled confidently: "As long as you don't want to hand it over, no one in the world except me can snatch the sword pill away from you while you are still alive."

"Moreover, the sword ball has been completely refined by you and recognized as your master. It is connected to the flesh and blood in your body. Although it is not your life-long divine weapon, once it is separated, half of your basic cultivation will definitely be destroyed. This is no joke."

Wang Shuhuan showed a look of panic on his face and nodded quickly.

Li Yang felt that there was something wrong with this boy, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Wang Shuhuan ate slowly himself, so he quickly ordered a bowl of pig's trotter soup for Li Yang.

The two chatted and it was almost one o'clock.

While we were eating, the lady boss of Shaxian Snacks had already started collecting food from other tables, preparing to close the shop.
At this moment, a thin figure suddenly walked into the store from the corner of the dim alley outside the store.

This is a young girl with a very pale complexion. Although she has a pretty face, the whiteness of her lips still reveals that she is severely malnourished.

There was a red rope around her ankle, and she moved timidly to Li Yang and Wang Shuhuan as if she had made a great decision.

"Hey handsome guy, can you please buy me a bowl of noodles?"

Her voice was very soft and small. After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Yang and Wang Shuhuan's expressions.

"I won't eat your food for free. If you buy me noodles, I can sleep with you."

She hurriedly adjusted her hair. If it weren't for Li Yang and Wang Shuhuan's cultivation, they wouldn't even be able to hear her voice.

Wang Shuhuan widened his eyes and froze in place. He had never experienced anything like this before and the bun in his mouth almost spit out.

The girl was actually very pretty, with such a delicate temperament. Wang Shuhuan suddenly had an idea in his mind: if the girl put on makeup, she would not be inferior to Xu Yihe.

If Xu Yihe scored 90 points, this girl would be at least 85 points.

The next moment Wang Shuhuan felt guilty for his thoughts and quickly swallowed the bun in his mouth with water.

Li Yang looked the girl up and down and noticed the red ankle rope on her cheap canvas shoes.

"Madam, the stove should still be on, right? Give me a bowl of beef noodles."

"Can I have two bowls? Don't worry, I'll accompany both of you." The girl raised her head and said.

"Madam, two bowls please."

The girl's clear eyes lit up with joy and she sat at another table.

Wang Shuhuan finally spat out a mouthful of steamed buns, and quickly rinsed his mouth, looking at Li Yang in disbelief.
"Master Li, if you do this, will Taoist Chi from Baiyun Mountain have any objections?"

Li Yang rolled his eyes at him and said, "What? Are you trying to tell on me? Eat your dumplings now."

Looking at Wang Shuhuan's expression, Li Yang gave him a hard slap.

The proprietress looked at the girl, then at Li Yang and Wang Shuhuan. She wanted to say something, but stopped herself and went in to make noodles.

According to the girl's request, one portion was for dine-in and the other was for take-away.

The girl obviously hadn't eaten for a long time. She wolfed down a 1.5-ounce bowl of beef noodles. Wang Shuhuan had just finished his buns when she had already drunk up all the noodle soup.

Li Yang and Wang Shuhuan could not have imagined that in this era, there would still be girls who would sacrifice themselves for a bowl of noodles.

After eating the noodles, the girl's face was obviously more rosy. When she wiped her mouth, she removed some of her messy makeup, making her look even more gentle and charming.

Wang Shuhuan was thinking about his sister Xu, so he didn't dare to look at her for too long and went to pay the money.

After scanning the QR code via WeChat, the lady boss couldn’t help herself and said helplessly: “Two handsome guys, I advise you not to go with her…” “She…she is sick…”

Wang Shuhuan hasn't come to his senses yet. He is sick. What's wrong?

The girl suddenly covered her face and cried, protecting the packed beef noodles in her arms with tears in her eyes.

"AQT is sold in 24-hour stores outside, or... I can also use my mouth. Don't worry, my mouth is the same as that of a healthy woman!"

Seeing Li Yang walking towards her, the girl quickly huddled up into a ball, revealing her purple arm.

"You're from Jiangnan, right?"

Seeing that Li Yang had no intention of hitting her, the girl wiped away her tears and nodded with red eyes.

"how do you know?"

Wang Shuhuan and the proprietress saw Li Yang's expression and realized that Li Yang had not had that idea from the beginning, so they surrounded him.

Li Yang's face was complicated as he continued to talk: "When I was in school, I had a teacher from the Jiangnan region. She told me that there has always been a custom in the Jiangnan region."

"In ancient times, when people were poor, young girls would be sold to brothels. In order to save their dignity, they would tie a red string around their waists or ankles."

"So even though they took off their clothes when they received guests, they still tied the last red string so that they would not be naked. The red string represented their last clothes.

If one day they are lucky enough to save enough money to redeem themselves, they will cut the red string, which means they will become a good woman. As the saying goes, "When you go to the sea, you tie the red string, and when you become a good woman, you cut the black string."

Wang Shuhuan was stunned when he heard this, but looking at the girl's eyes, he knew that Li Yang was right.

"You can eat these two bowls of noodles. I am a Taoist priest. As a token of my good will, I will give you two talismans."

Li Yang asked the proprietress to find two pieces of white paper, and casually drew two talismans for the girl.

This is a talisman for curing diseases and improving health that he exchanged with Chen Xiyan in the Shangqing Sect of Maoshan.

The girl stared at Li Yang blankly for a long time before she spoke: "How did you know that there is a sick person next to me?"

Li Yang responded with a smile: "Judging from your appearance and face, you wouldn't have fallen to this point if you hadn't been worried."

The girl hugged her knees, slowly squatted on the ground and began to cry, sobbing at first, and then her voice became louder and louder.

"Thank you, Taoist priest. What's your name?"

"Don't thank me, just think of it as something this era owes you..." Li Yang shook his head and said, "As for my name, why would you bother asking about it when we just met by chance?"

The girl bowed again and again, and Wang Shuhuan also found the proprietress and changed the balance in his mobile phone into banknotes and gave them to the girl.

In the darkness of the night, Wang Shuhuan felt emotional as he watched the girl leaving and looking back again and again.

The lady boss at the side looked at Li Yang strangely: "So you are a young Taoist priest?"

Wang Shuhuan also asked the boss lady: "Why, boss lady, do you know this girl?"

The proprietress sighed, "Her name is Zhu Ling. She has a sister who has been ill for a long time. When she first came to Guangdong, she worked in my store."

"But my sister's medical expenses were too high and she couldn't afford it, so she gradually went down that path. In just three years, she had six abortions."

When Wang Shuhuan asked why they didn't help Zhu Ling, the proprietress sneered, "She's still a kid after all. How can I manage this small shop? This girl is stubborn. She won't take the noodles even if I give them for free."

"Besides, why should I care? Look at the 40-story Sun Moon Building. Those masters just relax their fingers, but ordinary people like me are ruined. What kindness can you show?!"

After the proprietress said this, she closed the shutter door and officially closed the shop.

Wang Shuhuan looked in the direction the girl left, and thought about the four-digit amount of foie gras he and Xu Yihe spent that night. For some reason, his original joy faded a lot.

At the same age, two equally beautiful girls lead two completely different lives.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go back to the hotel." Li Yang patted Wang Shuhuan on the forehead and reminded him.

"Master Li, aren't you afraid of being cheated?"

"Are you kidding me? I practice Taoism to be free and easy, to follow the way of nature, and to let my mind flow freely. And... this person is really a miserable person."

Wang Shuhuan seemed to understand what he heard, and asked again: "Master Li, where did you learn so much knowledge and folk customs? What you said sounds very impressive."

"Fool, don't you read Gu Long's?"

"Gu Long, isn't Gu Long a perfume brand?"

Li Yang held his forehead.

Wang Shuhuan glanced at the balance on his cell phone, then blinked and looked at Li Yang a few times.

"What? What's wrong with you again?"

"Master Li, I gave all the money for my cell phone to Zhu Ling, so I have no money left to take a taxi..."

"..."

Li Yang patted the back of Wang Shuhuan's head again, and flew away on his sword with a ray of light.
-
Less than a kilometer away from the Sun Moon Building, Zhu Ling stumbled back to a simple rental house with the talisman paper and beef noodles.
She held two pieces of white paper that looked like ghostly talismans in her hands like a lifeline.

The pen was a ballpoint pen, and the paper was the boss lady's account book, and it was written like graffiti in front of her.

She didn't believe it at first, but when she thought of the determined and steady eyes of the young man who claimed to be a Taoist priest, she believed it.

I entered the room and turned on the light button, but the room did not light up. Then I remembered that the landlord had cut off the power for a long time because I had not paid the electricity bill.

"Xiaohui, Xiaohui, we are saved. I met a kind person who not only gave me beef noodles, but also gave me two life-saving talismans!"

He staggered open the bedroom door.

"Xiaohui?"

Zhu Ling shouted twice.

No one in the room responded to her. The painful moans that had lasted for two years seemed to be completely swallowed up by the darkness.

"Xiao Hui? Don't scare me with jokes...Xiao Hui, can you answer my question?"

Dead silence, pitch-black silence without a trace of life.

The voice gradually became tearful, and Zhu Ling groped her way to the bed.

She touched a pair of hands that were lifeless and as dry as dead wood.

"Xiaohui!"

He lit the candle with trembling hands, and burned the talisman paper according to Li Yang's instructions. He then poured the ashes and clean water into his sister's mouth with trembling hands.

There was still a despairing silence. Gray-black magic water flowed out from the corners of Zhu Hui's mouth, making the clean bedding dirty.

"Why are you so stupid to believe that Shinoda..."

"Why, why can't you wait for your sister a little longer? Obviously... obviously she has been saved."

The bowl of talisman water fell to the ground and shattered. Zhu Ling let out a desperate roar like a wild beast, which was rapid and high-pitched and then stopped abruptly. He collapsed to the ground, with only despair in his eyes.

"pat"

The candle was also knocked over and extinguished on the ground, and the whole room was once again engulfed by the surging dead silence and darkness.

Thousands of meters away, the Sun and Moon Building was still brightly lit except for the fourteenth floor. The lights embedded in the glass exterior walls made the entire building look like an ice crystal jade staircase, shining brightly.
