Chapter 826 Strange Book

Chen Luo looked at Hongying and saw that the little girl had dark and bright eyes, filled with confusion about the "immortals". She remembered what happened when she was three years old, how she and her mother escaped all the way here, and how her father, grandparents fell on the road.

Because I remember, I am confused.

"How do you know the gods didn't care? Maybe they have always been caring."

Chen Luo suddenly recalled an experience he had in the inner demon calamity a long time ago. A life full of desires, even he couldn't let go, how could the gods save him?

"Can't the gods do anything about those bad guys?"

"The devil is in your heart, you can only save yourself."

Hongying nodded, not quite understanding.

"When I become a god, I will kill all the bad guys!"

Wang Xiaohu yelled in dissatisfaction. He felt that if he were a god, he would kill all the bad guys in the world. Then there would be no bad guys in the world, no more disputes, and he and his mother would not be displaced.

Chen Luo smiled and nodded, giving Wang Xiaohu his affirmation.

There is no right or wrong in this world.

If Wang Xiaohu really reaches the top one day and becomes the strongest in the world, then he can indeed define good and evil according to his own values.

The sun is setting in the west.

The dim sunlight shines on the door of the bookstore.

Chen Luo walked to the door with the two children, preparing to close the door as usual. But unexpectedly, a guest came. A young man in a sky blue gown, with a strong aura and two followers behind him, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.

"Are you the hermit who rejected Liu Gang?"

The young man looked Chen Luo up and down, his eyes full of suspicion. He was followed by a man with a rat-like face. Chen Luo knew this man. He was a local tyrant in Anning County and knew a lot of things in the city. The news that Liu Gang invited him must have been sold by this man.

"We're closed. Come back tomorrow if you want to buy books."

Chen Luo reached out and grabbed the young man's shoulder, then carried him out of the door like a chicken.

This scene shocked all the people at the door. When they came to their senses, their son had been thrown out at the door by Chen Luo like trash.

"Ouch!"

With a tumble, the young man was also woken up by the fall.

This legendary hermit seemed to be really capable. He could lift a man as big as himself with one hand. If he were recruited, he would be a great general!

"presumptuous!!"

The two followers immediately drew their swords.

"Go back! Who told you to draw your swords?" The young man got up from the ground and scolded his two followers. Then he smiled again and took two steps forward to talk to Chen Luo.

Bang!

The door closed, and the young man's nose turned red due to the force of the collision, and tears immediately flowed from his eyes.

"Sir, the man just now was Young Master Xiang, and his father is a high-ranking official in front of the prefect of Nanjun." Hongying reminded carefully.

Although the little girl is young, she is very sensible.

Hongniang would teach her some things when she had nothing to do. After a while, she gradually understood. She knew that there were many important people in this city, and these people should not be provoked. Once provoked, she and her mother would live a miserable life again.

The young man who was just turned away by Chen Luo was the big shot mentioned by Hongniang.

"It's okay, don't worry too much."

After Chen Luo bolted the door, he led the two children back home through the back door. Mr. Xiang was patient. After being turned away, he did not rush to leave. Instead, he played the game of courtesy at the door and asked his men to bring gifts.

Chen Luo just glanced at it with his spiritual sense and ignored it.

He didn't even pay attention to Liu Gang back then, so how could he take this second-generation rich guy seriously?

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, as soon as Chen Luo opened the door, he saw Mr. Xiang standing at the door. He was holding a gift box in his hand and had a smile on his face.

"Master, I came here today mainly to invite you."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Luo grabbed him by the neck and threw him out again like trash, and the gift box he brought fell to the ground. After doing all this, Chen Luo opened the door completely to let the sunlight in from outside.

Mr. Xiang fell to the ground, his face turned red and white. He wanted to be angry, but he felt unwilling in his heart.

"Sir, the best way to deal with these mountain people is to resort to trickery."

The attendant offered advice.

"Can you beat him?"

Master Xiang looked at the attendant who was speaking and pointed at Chen Luo.

“We can call more people.”

The follower lowered his voice. Although he thought he had learned some martial arts, he was still very clear about his own weight. How could a lackey like him be able to deal with a man who even the former governor Liu Gang had to be courteous to invite?

"Get lost."

Master Xiang brushed the dust off his butt and stood up again.

This time he didn't carry a gift box and walked straight into the bookstore.

Chen Luo had already returned to his desk and started writing. He didn't even ask a single question about Mr. Xiang who came in.

Master Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't take action, he would have a chance.

"Boss, how much is this book?"

He thought for a moment, then walked to the bookshelf next to him and pulled out a book. The title of the book was strange, he had never seen it before, it was called "Alchemist Du Jian". Mr. Xiang's idea was also very simple, first he would buy books to get acquainted with Chen Luo, and then find a way to poach him.

"One hundred taels."

"Okay, one hundred. How much?!"

Mr. Xiang stopped taking out the money in mid-air. He subconsciously glanced at the thin book in his hand, then looked at Chen Luo who was writing over there, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

It’s a shady shop, absolutely a shady shop!

He subconsciously wanted to throw the book in his hand away, but when it reached his hand, he stopped.

Isn't this a good way to give him money?

“I bought it!!”

Master Xiang waved his hand, and the followers following him were all stunned. The news dealer who was in charge of leading the way widened his eyes and even slapped himself, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

One hundred taels of silver, within the sphere of influence of the Prince of Nanjun, could buy food for an ordinary family of three for ten years. Even if they ate meat and fish every day, they could last for three years. But this much money was used to buy a tattered book whose name I had never heard of.

Even the stupid son of a landlord wouldn't be such a spendthrift.

"Put the money aside."

Chen Luo didn't even raise his eyelids.

The price of the book was just something he casually said, with the purpose of driving this guy away. I didn't expect Xiang Tao to be so generous that he was willing to pay even 100 taels of silver. Compared with Liu Gang who only gave an iron plate at the beginning, he was much more courageous.

Mr. Xiang took out the money with a painful look on his face and put the banknotes on the table reluctantly.

Seeing that Chen Luo still had no intention of paying attention to him, he left the bookstore with the books he bought.

He had already made up his mind, and he would come here every day. As long as he could make a name for himself, he would be able to pull Chen Luo into the Xiang family's camp. It was nothing more than becoming a disciple or offering sacrifices. He had plenty of ways to deal with this kind of hidden master.

Return home.

Xiang Tao took a nap at home, and after getting up, he went out to drink as usual. He threw the book he bought with 100 taels of silver on the table. Xiang Kun didn't know about his son. The front line was tight recently, and he came back to collect military rations under the order of the King of Nanjun.

The process was not very smooth. After continuous wars, the people had no extra food. The wealthy families in the city did not cooperate either. He had been troubled by this issue for some time.

"Where's the bunny man?"

Xiang Kun glanced around and did not see his son Xiang Tao, so he immediately asked the housekeeper.

"The young master went to Xinghualou"

"You bastard!"

Xiang Kun slammed the table in anger, only to find that a book had been placed on the table at some point.

"What's this."

When the housekeeper saw Xiang Kun pick up the book, he thought for a long time and decided to keep the matter of the "one hundred taels of silver" to himself. He was afraid that the master would not be able to resist and go to the backyard to get a knife.

"Master Alchemist Du Jian? What a messed up book!"

Xiang Kun opened the book, and the words on the book seemed to come alive and instantly flooded into his brain.

Xiang Kun, who was sitting in his seat, only felt the scene in front of him blurry.

It was as if the consciousness had left the body and was flying away.

Go to the book.

At the beginning, the foggy passage was very narrow and the flying speed was very slow, but as the flying progressed, the passage became wider and wider, and the speed became faster and faster. The surrounding scene gradually became clearer, and when Xiang Kun opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.

An alchemy room with blue bricks and white walls, and the walls are surrounded by densely packed medicine cabinets.

Several strangers in green Taoist robes were talking to him.

".Junior Brother Du is really creative. He can even come up with this method."

I?

Du Jian?

Xiang Kun only felt a burst of horror, and fear surged into his heart. The "world" that had just taken shape was instantly shattered under the impact of this tide of fear.

"call!!"

Xiang Kun stood up and woke up from the book. His forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"master?"

The butler didn't understand what happened. He only saw his master open the book and then stood there stupidly as if he was possessed. After a moment, he stood up in fear, with cold sweat pouring out of his forehead.

"Where did this book come from?"

After calming himself down, Xiang Kun's gaze fell on the butler next to him.

There were few books in the Xiang family. Although the father and son usually dressed as Confucian scholars, they were actually warriors. Without relying on force, they could not replace Liu Gang. Because of this, it would be abnormal to have one more book in the house.

"The master bought it."

The butler hesitated for a moment, but still sold out his young master.

"My son has grown up."

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Xiang Kun's eyes. The fact that he could buy such special books was enough to prove Xiang Tao's vision. This alone was something that he should be proud of. Seeing that his master was in a good mood, the housekeeper said the second half of the sentence.

"It cost one hundred taels of silver."

The expression on Xiang Kun's face froze for a moment, and the blood and energy that had just calmed down rushed straight to his forehead.

Rebellious son!!
