There are many people in this world who pray to gods and Buddhas, some for wealth, some for marriage, and some for a good future.
But people always "ask" honestly, that is, if they want to give "things" to the gods and Buddhas, they have to do it under the banner of fulfilling a vow.
In all his years of life, this was the first time Chen Liu had seen someone wanting to make a deal with a god.
He was so shocked that he forgot to speak. It took him a long time to find his way back to his words. He stammered, "That, that is an immortal!"
Yang Zhi didn't care about Chen Liu's expression. He was sure that Chen Liu was making a big move. If there really was an immortal, why would he let a mortal like him run errands? It was obvious that Chen Liu was being used without knowing it, but he didn't care who was using Chen Liu now. He only knew that he had to go to the south.
He volunteered to stay in the North, otherwise he would have been one of the first to arrive in the South.
His life was not important, but there were some things he had to hand over to the king personally. Even if he died, he had to go to the south to see his parents for the last time.
Yang Zhi suddenly said: "Okay, since you said that the immortal wants to save thousands of good people, Li Qing, come here!"
The man who had been watching them by the fire stood up. He was short but had a big head and several scars on his arms.
"Li Qing has never killed anyone." Yang Zhi looked into Chen Liu's eyes, "He even got stabbed a few times to save people. Is he a good man?"
Chen Liu swallowed his saliva. He couldn't say that Li Qing was not a good person. Li Qing had saved him and took a knife for him.
"Can the immortal save him?" Yang Zhi asked again.
Chen Liu pursed his lips. If Li Qing was alone, he would have taken Li Qing back to the supermarket long ago.
When they were in the mountains before, these people were all his brothers. They were loyal to each other and there was no barrier between them.
But now he suddenly realized that he was no longer their brother.
From the moment he came down the mountain, he was no longer their brother.
Chen Liu's hair stood on end!
Only then did he realize that he had done something wrong.
Yes, immortals have magical powers, and they can't harm immortals, but he, Chen Liu, is a mortal! If he and his parents are driven out by the immortals, then their family will have no choice but to wait for death!
Chen Liu's lips trembled: "I came to bring you water and food. I would rather go hungry. Have I offended you?! Have I harmed you?!"
He remembered their kindness, so he would rather starve than repay them. Why did they treat him like this?
"Brother Yang!" Chen Liu's eyes welled up with tears. He shouted to Yang Zhi, "You are a good person. I know you are a good person! Go to the government to seek justice for the tenants! Brother Yang! We have no grudges against each other!"
Yang Zhi's eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips and said, "Once you come down the mountain, you are no longer my brother."
Chen Liu lowered his head dejectedly.
Since he was already like this, he couldn't let his parents get hurt. Chen Liu raised his head fiercely and shouted at Yang Zhi: "Without the immortal, there is nothing. You can kill me or chop me up!"
"There's a big scar on my head. If I, Chen Liu, snort even once, I'm not a man anymore!"
Seeing Chen Liu ready to be killed, Yang Zhi felt a toothache. His expression softened and he coaxed him in a gentle tone: "Although you are no longer our brother, we once had a comradeship. We will not harm you or force you. All you need is for you to be a middleman and ask the immortal if he wants what we have."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll run away?" Chen Liu looked at Yang Zhi in disbelief. "Aren't you afraid that I'll send someone to kill you?"
Yang Zhi shook his head: "You are not that kind of person. I was rude just now, but the current situation really does not allow me to be careless, so I am testing you."
He considered himself a gentleman, but he never expected that Chen Liu, a "mud man", was actually more gentlemanly than him.
Chen Liu was confused. He murmured, "Probing?"
Yang Zhi didn't care whether he had come back to his senses or not, and said seriously: "The brothers on the mountain have all gone to the south, and we are the only ones left to escort something to the south. This thing is extremely important to us, more important than our lives, so we must be careful."
"We hide this thing in a secret place." Yang Zhi looked at Chen Liu's expression.
Then he walked to the fire and picked up a rag bundle. Although it was made of rags, it was wrapped in many layers so the contents were not visible.
Yang Zhi put the bundle next to Chen Liu, lowered his head slightly, and made a begging gesture: "These things can buy a lot of food in normal times, but now they are just a pile of scrap copper and iron. We don't want more, as long as we can exchange for more food. If there are horses, that would be the best. If not food, six horses will be fine. Li Qing and Sun Feng are thin, so we can share one horse."
Having said that, Yang Zhi opened the bag.
Layer after layer of rags were lifted up, revealing the golden yellow gold inside.
Chen Liu was so frightened that he was at a loss, but he couldn't help swallowing - Oh my God, he had never seen so many gold jewelry in his life.
Many of the gold ornaments were inlaid with gemstones of various colors. Even he, who didn't know much about the business, knew that these things were very valuable and could probably buy several mountains.
How come he doesn't know there's so much money in Huangshan?!
Yang Zhi: "These are the proceeds of corruption by corrupt officials."
Chen Liu: "These dog officials!"
Yang Zhi bowed to Chen Liu and said, "Brother Chen, these things are for you. If you bring something back, it means you are kind and righteous. If you don't bring anything, we won't blame you. We will just consider it as an apology to you."
Just now, Chen Liu was pressed to the ground by Yang Zhi, but he was still able to act like a hero. But now, this good man in his eyes, whom he could only look up to before, begged him so humbly, and he could no longer harden his heart.
"If you let me go, I will trust you." Chen Liu looked into Yang Zhi's eyes.
Yang Zhi: "I won't stop you."
Chen Liu stood up tentatively, picked up the torn bag that Yang Zhi had rewrapped, and retreated cautiously. When he reached the edge of the woods, he suddenly turned around and ran away.
He could only hear his own heartbeat and the sound of the wind in his ears. Despite the hot weather, his body was covered in cold sweat. The sweat soaked his vest and made him feel terribly cold in this hot night.
Run, run forward!
It was not until Chen Liu could no longer run that he sat down on the ground and turned his head to look back the way he came.
He was afraid that someone was following him, and he was afraid that Yang Zhi was deceiving him again.
Chen Liu wiped his face. He felt uncomfortable and the pain in his chest made it hard for him to breathe.
After a long while, Chen Liu saw a familiar light shining from the way he came.
When he heard Wu Yan's voice, he felt that it was the sound of nature.
"Why are you running so fast!" Wu Yan was almost going crazy. They had been watching Chen Liu from a distance. If Yang Zhi and the others really dared to attack Chen Liu, they would definitely fight with them.
That group of people had just eaten something and drank some water, how could they be their match?
Even among martial arts masters, I have never heard of a master who can survive on an empty stomach.
As a result, the group of people let Chen Liu go and gave him a bag. Then Chen Liu ran into the woods like a wild horse, causing them to chase him for so long.
Chen Liu said in confusion: "I'm afraid they will follow me."
Wu Yan said expressionlessly: "Even a horse can't keep up with you."
"What happened? What did they ask you to do? Why did they arrest you and then release you? What's in the bag?" Wu Yan asked questions one after another.
Other employees also stood by and watched Chen Liu, as if since Chen Liu couldn't explain anything, they could "execute" Chen Liu here.
Chen Liu was not good at speaking and it took him nearly half an hour to explain the matter clearly.
Wu Yan frowned as he looked at the bundle - he had seen the fairyland and no longer took the trivial things in the human world seriously.
Can gold buy fairy lanterns or a water dispenser that can boil its own water?
"These are things that have resulted in human deaths..." Wu Yan didn't know whether they should make this trip.
Chen Liu was smart for once: "Although I have killed someone, there are still angry Vajra in Buddhism!"
Wu Yan was shocked and said, "You are really good, kid. You even know the angry King Kong."
Chen Liu was not proud, but said: "Let's go back first and listen to what the immortal says. If the immortal accepts it, then we will know what to accept next time."
"What do you think?" Wu Yan asked others.
Everyone: "I think what Chen Liu said makes sense."
"The immortal said that we should save good people. I thought that people who kill others to save others should also be considered good people, right?"
"When I was fleeing, I also killed a villain who wanted to touch my wife, but the immortal still accepted me."
Everyone looked at the man who spoke last. He was a man of few words and seemed very honest. His wife and children were also honest people. All his family members were so ugly that they could not even fart. It was hard to tell that he had ever killed anyone.
The man stammered, "He, he wants to get my wife, and then tie up my son and eat his meat. I, I can't do anything..."
He trembled: "I really have no choice. If I don't kill him, I will..."
Wu Yan waved his hand and said, "Stop talking. Since the immortal accepted you, it must be because you have a good nature. Now you have been reborn again. The past does not count."
"Then let's go back!"

"That's all." Ye Zhou showed Zou Ming his savings, "I still need another 30,000 to buy a small pistol."
Zou Ming frowned and asked, "So expensive?"
Ye Zhou turned around and looked at him with shining eyes: "You think it's expensive too! This system is really outrageous. How much is your gun? Can you buy it for me?"
He even thought of purchasing on behalf of others.
Zou Ming shook his head slightly: "I can't return to my original plane until the employment relationship ends."
Ye Zhou: “…”
He originally thought that purchasing on behalf of others was a good way to save money.
He didn't expect that the system, this Zhou Baopi, would block even this path for him.
Ye Zhou sighed: "My place is too remote, and there is a famine here. I did hire people to solicit customers, but I know that the people I can attract are all poor. It's not that I don't want to help them, but the possibility of losing money is greater than making money."
If the suffering people came to him, would he not save them?
The most we can do is not take them in.
"I'm lucky if I can earn ten or twenty dollars from a customer."
Zou Ming, who was listening carefully to Ye Zhou's complaints, suddenly said, "Maybe they can bring something valuable."
Ye Zhou smiled bitterly twice: "That would be great, I can go out and do a backflip."
Zou Ming looked at him and his eyes moved down to Ye Zhou's waist.
Backflip?
