Patriarch of Wanjiao

Chapter 26 Koi (for further reading)

The red fruit is like fire, transparent and dripping, and the full juice exudes a faint fragrance.

Li Mo's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but asked in astonishment: "You...what do you eat?"

"Zhu Guo."

Hong Xiaofu grinned, he was a master at the fifth level of Inner Breathing Realm, so he couldn't recognize such a precious elixir as Zhu Guo.

"Don't tell me, the medicinal power of this vermilion fruit is quite strong. It's rare for wild ones to grow like this." Hong Xiaofu's face was flushed.

When he just took the first bite, it was as if he had swallowed a ball of flames, his whole body was hot, and the inner breath in his body boiled uncontrollably.

Now, Hong Xiaofu only felt that his body was about to be stretched apart.

"You... where did you get it?"

Li Mo and Feng Wannian met each other and asked in unison.

This Zhu Guo looked too suspicious.

"I picked it up in the mountains." Hong Xiaofu grinned and said, "Look at my luck."

"You know that I have the habit of practicing exercises every morning..."

This is Hong Xiaofu's ancestral kung fu, he has to go into the mountains every morning to gather energy, and he has not broken his body before.

"I saw a rabbit when I first went to Caiyun Peak. I wanted to call it to roast and eat it, but it disappeared in a flash..."

Hong Xiaofu felt a little regretful.

"When I went up to check, I found this vermilion fruit... luck."

Confused, Hong Xiaofu gnawed away the vermilion fruit in his hand, as if he was afraid that Li Mo and the other two would come to snatch the food.

Li Mo and Feng Wannian looked at each other, feeling something was wrong.

"Xiaofu, do you know something happened to Elder Wang?" Li Mo asked tentatively.

"Which Elder Wang?"

"It's the one from Dan Pavilion..."

"Oh, oh, the one who sees female disciples who like to squint their eyes?"

"That's right, it's him!"

"What happened to him? Did the alchemy explode? Is he dead?" Hong Xiaofu asked concerned.

"I heard that I was stimulated, so I convulsed, woke up, vomited three basins of blood, and played the string directly." Feng Wannian seemed to have seen it with his own eyes, his right hand was flabbergasted and twitched continuously.

"It's too miserable. The [Yangxi Pill] I exchanged last month was made by him, and he gave me two more." Hong Xiaofu said kindly.

"No, I have to go see Elder Wang."

"Xiaofu."

Li Mo pulled him back.

"If you have nothing to do recently, don't run to Dan Pavilion."

"Huh!?" Hong Xiaofu was taken aback: "Why?"

"You will know." Feng Wannian waved his hand.

In short, he and Li Mo knew nothing about the theft of Zhu Guo and saw nothing.

"By the way, what are you doing here today?" Li Mo quickly changed the topic.

"I caught a carp spirit, and I want to ask Lao Feng to find a buyer."

Hong Xiaofu put the [Suppressing Demon Altar] in his arms on the table, with the imprint of the stove engraved on it.

"Carp!?" Li Mo's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Among the folks, carp, tortoise, and rooster are considered to be spiritual, and if kept in a house, they can change Feng Shui, bless the safety of going in and out, and even attract wealth.

Especially koi, it is said that among many domestic pets, they have the most spirituality. Once they become spirits and demons, they can even help the owner to block disasters and break evil spirits.

In the early years, there was a demon catcher who specially raised koi, practiced demon psychic psychics, and sold them to wealthy wealthy households.

This kind of ghost is extremely weak and will not cause harm to humans, and once it recognizes its owner and introduces it into the house, it can indeed accumulate blessings, gather wealth, prosper the owner, guard the house, and block evil spirits...

Two years ago, Li Mo followed Yan Zixia down the mountain to hunt demons, passing by a wealthy family, but saw a psychic koi, which was raised by the owner in a large pond in the backyard, which was as big as a table of eight immortals.

The koi was white all over, and there was a fist-sized hole in its head, which was almost sunken in, and it looked extremely strange.

In addition, it has two very deep scars on its body, extending from the chest to the tail.

Later, Li Mo found out that the owner of this family had been in the underworld for generations, and had been instructed by an expert since he was a child. When he was a six-year-old boy, he raised this koi and fed it himself every day, day and night. scriptures.

After ten years of hard work, this koi finally became psychic.

The owner of the house had been robbed three times in his life, and survived under almost impossible circumstances, all relying on the koi to help block the evil.

Later, he knew the seriousness of the relationship, so he decided to retire and go ashore to clean up his crimes.

Yan Zixia said that the family really met an expert. This method of raising koi is a secret of Taoism, even if ordinary people master it, it is difficult to stick to it.

Because of this, among the many spiritual pets that can change Feng Shui, koi is the most difficult to raise, but has the greatest ability.

This thing has the nature of a dragon but not the shape of a dragon, and has always been sought after by wealthy merchants.

"Tsk tsk, if this thing is pushed into a prison, it's worth a little merit, but if it finds a suitable buyer, it's worth at least 800 taels of silver." Feng Wannian narrowed his eyes.

This is no secret in Luofu Mountain.

Some monster catchers captured special ghosts, but they were unwilling to exchange them for merit, so they sold them through the thread like Feng Wannian.

In addition to monks, many ordinary rich and wealthy businessmen are also fond of some special ghosts.

According to Feng Wannian, the four most sought-after women in recent years are the cat girl, the fox girl, the rabbit girl and the dog girl.

The supply of these four types of ghosts is almost in short supply, and the prices are extremely high.

As for what those wealthy businessmen bought it back for, it is unknown.

Of course, Feng Wannian, as the thread, can also get half of it.

"Leave me here, I will definitely find you a reliable buyer." Feng Wannian grinned.

It's not been a day or two for him to do this kind of business, there are many ways.

Feng Wannian knew at least half of the wealthy gentry and merchants in the nine towns and eighteen towns below the mountain.

"Sell it to me."

At this moment, Li Mo suddenly spoke.

"Um!?"

"sell to you!?"

Feng Wannian and Hong Xiaofu were all taken aback for a moment, and they all showed strange expressions.

Among the three of them, Li Mo was the poorest. Needless to say, Hong Xiaofu, the monthly salary of a two-star demon catching master plus the subsidy for catching monsters was a considerable figure.

Although Feng Wannian still receives five qian silver per month, he still has other gray incomes.

Only Li Mo, who was poor and destitute, actually asked to buy this koi.

"This thing costs at least 800 taels of silver."

"I also know a rich man who asked me to help find a koi when he went down the mountain last time. He gave me all the money."

Li Mo lied, and took out a stack of crumpled banknotes from his arms, no more, no less, exactly 800 taels of silver.

The money was all his hard work, and he took it out of his classmates one by one.

"Tsk tsk, Mo, I don't see that you have so much money on you."

"Okay, I won't steal this business from you." Feng Wannian curled his lips.

"Look at what you said, the 40 taels is your share."

Li Mo changed hands and took out another bank note.

"I'm just helping people."

"Hahaha, you are so kind." Feng Wannian laughed and took the bank note.

Li Mo also grinned, and had to say that spending other people's money just doesn't feel bad.

"Mo, this is your li." Hong Xiaofu pushed the demon-suppressing altar on the table over.

Li Mo hugged him in his arms, his eyes glowing with splendor.

Counting it, he hadn't released the ghosts for a while.

"God has the virtue of loving life, I hope I can survive." Li Mo showed mercy and prayed silently in his heart.
