Day and night tour

Chapter 117 The Thief's Eyes
Zhou Xuan gently knocked on the wake-up stick.

"Snapped."

The man in the robe trembled, and with his right index and middle fingers, he picked up a purse from Zhou Xuan's pocket, turned around, covered it with his sleeve, and walked in another direction.

The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, and it was obvious that he was a habitual offender.

But he was in the dream created by Zhou Xuansheng.

The man in the robe didn't steal anything at all, and there was a "empty" sign between his right hand and middle finger.

"Snapped."

When the man in the robe had finished packing his bag, Zhou Xuan struck the wake-up stick again to end the dream.

It only takes two or three moments to create a dream and interpret it.

"Sure enough, no matter what era, there are always a lot of pickpockets in train stations."

Zhou Xuan didn't take it seriously, but Lu Mingkun wanted to chase him.

"He stole my dream, why should I chase him?"

Zhou Xuan carried the suitcase and walked towards the exit. Before he had walked ten meters, the pickpocket came back.

In addition to him, there were two young men in long gowns and an old man in a black coat.

The old man was wearing sunglasses and his sleeves were very long. Not only did they cover his palms, but the sleeves also extended a long way down, which looked quite funny.

"Hey, you didn't steal it, so you asked your accomplices to come over and rob it openly?"

Zhou Xuan put down the box. It has always been said that "a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake". In the final analysis, the dragon was not strong enough and was defeated by the snake.

"Don't rush to do anything. Find a place with fewer people." Zhou Xuan instructed Lu Mingkun.

There were too many people in the train station, and if I started fighting, I was afraid of being targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

Especially according to the news from the "Blood Well Society", the kidnappers ambushed many disciples in the train station and hunted down the Blood Well psychic.

Lv Mingkun's bamboo blade had already slashed his hand, and he responded to Zhou Xuan: "Junior brother, you are a big target. If you really want to splatter some blood in the train station, let me do it. You and Xiao Fuzi go first. I am sure you can make a difference."

Before Zhou Xuan nodded, four people had already gathered around him. The pickpocket who had just stolen from Zhou Xuan looked very evasive and pointed at Zhou Xuan and said, "Master Liu, it was his bag that I just stole."

"Yes." The old man in sunglasses responded clearly and introduced himself to Zhou Xuan: "My name is Liu Qingguang. People in the underworld give me face and call me Master Liu. My apprentice has offended you just now. I apologize in advance."

"No problem." Zhou Xuan didn't expect the other party to be so polite and his tone was so sincere, but he guessed that he was going to use the "courtesy before force" approach.

"Look at the young gentleman, he looks like a respectable man. Can we find a place with few people and talk for a while?"

Liu Qingguang made a "please" gesture.

Find a place with few people to rob?

"Okay, that's what I want." Zhou Xuan agreed.

Seeing that Zhou Xuan agreed, Liu Qingguang pointed to a disciple to lead the way.

A group of people walked out of the train station and headed towards the dry bridge beside the station.

There were many pickpockets with shifty eyes along the way, and some of them were even looking at the boxes carried by Zhou Xuan and Lu Mingkun. When they reluctantly moved their eager eyes away from the boxes and saw Zhou Xuan following Liu Qingguang, their eyes immediately became clear.

"Don't think about it. Do you still dare to think about the trap set by Master Liu? Be careful with your hands."

"Master Liu never sets traps at train stations. What happened today?"

Liu Qingguang is well-known among pickpockets.

at last,

The group stopped at the dry bridge on the right side of the train station. There was no water under the bridge, and the area was undeveloped and sparsely populated.

The scammers at the station usually like to team up with others, lure out-of-town guests here, then strip them of their clothes and steal their luggage.

Liu Qingguang stood still, while Lu Mingkun looked at Zhou Xuan. As soon as the young master gave a look, he would chop the thieves into pieces.

Zhou Xuan waved his right hand behind his back and pointed downwards, meaning to take a look at the situation first.

Until now, he still hasn't felt any hostility from Liu Qingguang and others.

really,

Liu Qingguang first stretched out his hand in front of his apprentice and hooked his fingers.

"Master, I didn't catch his bag."

"If you don't catch it, I'll take your money."

The pickpocket in the long gown had an unpleasant look on his face, but he didn't dare to disobey his master, so he reluctantly took out his wallet and put it in Liu Qingguang's hand.

Liu Qingguang's right hand was wrapped in his sleeve, holding the wallet, and his hands were still not exposed.

He slowly walked up to Zhou Xuan and said, "I'm sorry that I didn't have good eyesight and put my hand into your pocket."

"The wallet in your hand is not mine. Your apprentice did not steal my money."

"He didn't steal it because he's not skilled enough. I still have to apologize." Liu Qingguang stretched out his arm and handed the wallet to Zhou Xuan's chest.

But Zhou Xuan refused to accept it, saying, "To be honest, you are all pickpockets. I don't trust your conscience. Even though you offered to give me money, how can I accept it without an explanation?"

"Of course there is a saying. You said we are pickpockets. That's right. We are all doing despicable things like stealing people's money. Although the disciples usually have some rules,
In principle, we do not steal from the poor, pregnant women, seriously ill, and the elderly, but rules cannot be eaten. When we are extremely hungry, we can't care about so many things. Money is our parents, and we will not let go of it when we see it.

But no matter what time it is, there is one kind of person we will never steal from.”

"The kind of person you're talking about is me, right?" Zhou Xuan poked his nose and said, "You mean, I'm worse than someone who's seriously ill or old?"

"Look at the way you are dressed. You are rich and powerful. How can you be inferior to them? To be honest, we didn't steal because we felt sorry for you. We didn't dare to steal because we were afraid of getting involved in your karma and making the person behind you unhappy. I apologized to her."

"Behind me?" Zhou Xuan glanced behind him.
Behind is Xiao Fuzi.

Is Xiao Fuzi so prestigious?

"Don't look. You can't see her, but I can."

Liu Qingguang handed the wallet forward again and said, "Young man, take the money."

"Who is that person you are talking about?"

"The queen on your back." Liu Qingguang's words stunned Zhou Xuan.

He was indeed carrying a woman on his back, but not in reality, but in a secret place.

Could it be that

Can Liu Qingguang see what other people’s secret realms look like?

Even the Master can’t do it.

"I'll take the money, but you have to tell me what this lady looks like?"

Zhou Xuan pretended not to know the situation and asked Liu Qingguang.

Liu Qingguang shook his head: "I only know that she is talented, but I don't know where she came from... Young sir, don't ask, just take the money."

Zhou Xuan took the wallet.

Liu Qingguang clasped his hands together and said, "We have some unique skills, but we will never rely on the netherworld for wealth! See you later, little brother."

After saying that, Liu Qingguang watched Zhou Xuan and the other two leave. He took off his sunglasses only after they walked away. Both of his eyes were bright, but his right eye - had two pupils.

The eyeballs are one big and one small, squeezed together like a gourd.

Liu Qingguang released his perception, causing the gourd eye to turn blood red.

He stared at Zhou Xuan who was already walking away, and saw only a woman in wedding dress, holding a white lantern, lying on Zhou Xuan's back with her head hung.

Liu Qingguang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, who is behind that person?"

"I can't recognize him, but that young master has a fortune. I always feel that he has worshipped in a temple, but I can't tell how many incense sticks he has! I'm afraid he must have a very high level of Taoism. The person following him has four incense sticks."

When Zhou Xuan had the dream about the train station, the scope of the dream was limited. In addition, the interval between the dream and the interpretation was very short. Liu Qingguang was far away at that time, and with his eyesight, he could not see the trick.

"The man with four incense sticks followed him, and he himself had a fortune and wealth. That lady even dared to lie on his back. It's obvious that she has a background."

After Liu Qingguang finished speaking, he looked at the sky. The sky was clear, but there seemed to be a layer of hazy fog.

"Blue Eyes, come here." Liu Qingguang called out to his disciple.

The pickpocket who stole from Zhou Xuan approached him tremblingly, not daring to breathe.

"I asked you to save some incense at the train station so that you could burn two sticks of incense. You almost got me into trouble. The bride had her head down, but after you stole the young master's wallet, she raised her head. Although she was wearing a veil, I felt that she was staring at us.
Fortunately, I apologized in time, otherwise I don’t know how big the trouble would be!
As a thief, the eyes under the eyebrows should be bright. If they are not bright, what is the use of them! ? "

Liu Qingguang turned his head and stretched his hand out from his sleeves.

His five fingers were twice as long as those of an average person. His middle finger and index finger were as fast as lightning. With a stretch and retraction, he pinched a bloody eyeball with his fingertips.

"If you lose your eye again next time, don't keep the other one."

Liu Qingguang threw the eyeball to the ground, crushed it with his foot, and strode away, leaving only his disciple Lanyan, who rolled on the ground and howled in pain...

……

There is a road after exiting the dry bridge, and you can hail a rickshaw, but Zhou Xuan didn't.

While on the train, Zhou Xuan checked the map of Mingjiang Prefecture. Dongshi Street was next to Mingjiang River. To get to Dongshi Street from the train station, one had to cross nearly half of Mingdong District.

To travel such a long distance, you need to find several rickshaw drivers to take turns, which is a waste of time.

Fortunately, there is a "Yangsheng Car Rental" near the train station where you can rent a car. However, the price is expensive, costing up to twelve yuan per hour, and ordinary people can't afford to take one.

But Zhou Xuan had 6,000 yuan in his pocket, and Liu Qingtian's wallet also contributed more than 400 yuan, so he didn't need that little money, so he took Lu Mingkun and Xiao Fuzi to a car rental company to rent a car.

The driver of the car rental company was very professional. After getting in the car, he first took out the time sheet and asked Zhou Xuan to fill in the departure time. After filling in and confirming it, he took out his watch and compared the time with Zhou Xuan's pocket watch before setting off.

In the car, Zhou Xuan fell into deep thought.
"Junior brother, what are you thinking about?" Lu Mingkun sat next to Zhou Xuan and asked in a very low voice.

There was a driver in the car, and Lu Mingkun was afraid that there might be ears on the other side of the wall.

Fortunately, Zhou Xuan's ears are now very sensitive, and he can hear even the sound of a mosquito clearly.

"Think about Liu Qingguang. Liu Qingguang apologized to me, saying that he was afraid of karma after stealing my money. But that was just his excuse. A thief who stole money from the dead is afraid of karma?"

Zhou Xuan said: "I guess he came to apologize on his own initiative. It must be because the bride behind me made some movement and frightened him."

"Don't tell me, I really didn't think about it that way."

Lu Mingkun seemed to be suddenly enlightened and said.

"Besides, I've had a very strange feeling since I entered the territory of Mingjiang Prefecture."

Zhou Xuan said.

"What does it feel like?"

"There's an inexplicable sense of familiarity... as if... as if this is my hometown."

Zhou Xuan looked at the streets outside the car window. No matter whether it was the houses or the shops, he felt familiar with them. There was no sense of alienation as a stranger entering a strange place.

"Or...the bride in the secret realm, was she originally from Mingjiang Mansion?"
