Chapter 88 What does it mean to start off badly?
Nan Wang absentmindedly teased the rabbit through the cage.
What I was thinking about in my mind was still the magical price of "three low-grade spirit stones for one, ten low-grade spirit stones for three".
The rabbits sold in the shop are ordinary meat rabbits. Each one is plump and not as lively as the rabbits from Qingyun Sect. They look a little dull.
But being stupid has its advantages. It doesn't care how much you tease it and just munch on the grass by itself.
"I asked you whether you will buy it or not?"
The shop owner sounded a little impatient.
"Buy, buy."
Nan Wang hurriedly took out three low-grade spirit stones and said, "Buy one. I want the one that kicks its legs and twitches its ears. It looks lively."
The shop owner took out the rabbit that Nan Wang valued from the cage and threw it onto the chopping board: "Do you want to kill it? Do you want to roast it?"
Nan Wang's eyes lit up: "If you want to kill it, there's no need to burn it. Thank you."
As expected, the rabbit industry in the Northern Territory has developed into an integrated industry, from breeding to slaughtering to incineration. Maybe in some special occasions, people don’t need to be there, just the rabbits will be there.
After the shop owner killed the rabbit with a knife and handed it to Nan Wang, Nan Wang took out three low-grade spirit stones and pointed at another rabbit in the cage and said, "Give me another one, with its ears standing upright."
The shop owner looked at Nan Wang strangely, but still took out the rabbit that Nan Wang had chosen from the cage and cut it with the knife again.
Then, Nan Wang took out three lower-grade spirit stones.
"One more, the last one, just pick any healthy one for me."
"?"
The shop owner sensed something was wrong: "No, what do you mean, are you just looking for fun, buying them one by one?"
Nanwang explained, "If I buy three rabbits, I only need to pay nine low-grade spirit stones."
Instead of three dollars for one, ten dollars for three.
An Nuo cheered on the sidelines and said, "Wow, you are really smart."
The shop owner came to his senses.
The next second, his expression changed, he slammed the knife on the chopping board, and said murderously:
"You are here to cause trouble! You were not even born when I was in the underworld!"
Nan Wang wasn't afraid, but he was a little confused: "There's no rule that I can't buy them one by one, right?"
An Nuo added fuel to the fire, "That's right, it's obviously you who are stupid and can't calculate the price. We are kind enough to teach you, but you don't appreciate it."
"Bah! Who wants your poor devil's religion? I don't want to make money from you! Get out of here!"
As the shop owner spoke, he pushed Nan Wang hard.
Nan Wang was caught off guard for a moment and stumbled back a few steps before finally steadying himself.
"You're a businessman, why did you suddenly take action? I just corrected a small math mistake of yours..."
Halfway through his words, Nan Wang suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why can't he hear any sound?
The next second, a gust of evil wind suddenly blew past Nan Wang's ears, and lifted the entire shop into the air. After hanging in the air for a while, the shop fell heavily to the ground, breaking into pieces.
The cages that held the rabbits were smashed to pieces, and all the rabbits died instantly, without exception.
Before Nan Wang could even scream in surprise, he saw the shop owner's bloody body sliding down the rubble, with blood all over the ground.
"What the hell, what the hell, what the hell..."
Nan Wang was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and backed away repeatedly.
"Nanwang! Are you okay?"
Annuo ran to Nanwang and helped him up.
Nan Wang said in a daze: "I'm fine, I'm fine. The one who's in trouble is the boss. Is he still alive..."
The inn where he stayed was right at the foot of the Demonic Cult. It was well connected and very busy with people coming and going.
At this moment, he was in the market, the road was full of pedestrians, and there were various stalls and shops on both sides.
Nan Wang looked around in confusion.
The shop on the left is intact, and the shop on the right is intact.
The only thing that was blown away was the Bunny Shop in front of him.
...What kind of operation is this?
Can dragons and tornadoes be deployed at specific locations?
Even though they were not affected, the surrounding shops and passers-by noticed the abnormality here.
They didn't know what had happened before. They only saw Nan Wang who was at a loss and his boss lying on the ground unconscious.
As a result, countless condemning glances were cast at Nanwang, as if he was some extremely evil person.
"How dare someone commit a crime here?"
"Where did this outsider come from? He really doesn't know the rules."
"It's really uncivilized to fight in the street."
"With such a big commotion, the guardians of the Heavenly Demon Cult will be here soon."
"Tsk tsk tsk, there's something interesting to watch..."
Nan Wang faced the public's criticism and denunciations, unable to defend himself: "It's not me, I didn't do anything..."
He explained as he got up from the ground. As soon as he stood up, he saw a group of monks flying towards him on spiritual swords not far away.
The robes worn by these monks were exactly the same, and they were surrounded by demonic energy. I guess they were the guardians of the Heavenly Demon Sect that passers-by mentioned.
The guardians quickly landed. Some of them walked towards the messy shop, squatted down and smelled the shop owner's breath. The leader walked up to Nanwang and said in a bad tone:
"Where are you from, monk? How did you get into the city? Don't you know that you can't take action here?"
Nan Wang gritted his teeth and explained, "I didn't do anything. I'm a casual cultivator staying at this inn. Today I wanted to go out and buy two rabbits. The owner said three yuan each and ten yuan for three rabbits, so I bought them one by one. I spent nine spirit stones to buy three rabbits. Who knew he suddenly got angry and pushed me away..."
The leading guardian was silent for a moment, as if thinking about the question of "three pieces for one, ten pieces for three". After a moment, he said with an "oh" as if he had suddenly realized something, and then said:
"Anyway, it's wrong for you to do that. Come with us."
Nan Wang wanted to cry but had no tears: "Brother, I didn't do it, I really didn't do it. Just now, a gust of evil wind suddenly blew and blew the shop away. The evil wind was full of evil spirits. I am a casual cultivator from the Central Plains. I haven't joined the Demon Sect yet. I don't know how to use evil spirits at all..."
An Nuo also chimed in, "It's true. I can testify that we didn't do anything. He flew out on his own!"
The head protector had a look of disbelief on his face: "You are all in this together, so of course you are protecting each other. You are the only stranger here, and you had an argument with the boss. Who else could it be but you?"
"It really wasn't me! I just wanted to buy a rabbit. Even if the sale didn't go through, there's still a sense of righteousness. There's really no need for me to do anything!"
Amid the pointing and criticizing of the crowd, Nanwang's defense seemed so pale and powerless.
There is no camera here to prove Nanwang's innocence. If we only look at the situation on the scene, Nanwang is indeed the most suspicious.
The person who had an argument with Nanwang in the last second suddenly stopped moving in the next second and said that it was not him who did it. Who would believe him?
Soon, the guardian who was trying to feel the boss's breath came forward and said to the leading guardian:
"Boss, the man is dead."
The leading guardian immediately looked at Nanwang and said in a serious tone: "Killing someone in the street is an even more serious crime."
Nanwang: “…”
This is really a bad start for him!
We haven't even stepped into the gate of the Demonic Cult yet, are we going to return empty-handed?
The leading guardian said, "Be quiet and follow us."
Nan Wang had a tearful face and walked forward two steps with his head down, as if he was trying to cooperate.
In fact, he already had three talismans in his hands.
The God Travel Talisman, followed by the Thousand Mile Talisman, and then the Transmission Talisman.
In the blink of an eye, he can be sent eight hundred miles away.
It's not surprising that I'm not used to the climate here when I first arrived in the Northern Territory.
Wait until he goes back and regroups, it won’t be too late!
"etc."
Suddenly, a strange sound came from not far away.
Nan Wang turned around and saw a young man with a very distinctive appearance.
The boy was short and frail, with black hair hanging down his back. He was wearing a black coat and had black gauze wrapped around his eyes. His entire body was dark, his face was pale, and he looked listless.
"I just happened to pass by and there is a photo-taking stone... I can take a look."
The boy spoke in a discontinuous manner and the sound he made was very strange, as if something was blocking his throat and he could only make sounds through the gap.
"Who are you?"
Nan Wang took a step towards the young man, and the young man immediately took a step back, as if he was very afraid of him.
Nanwang suddenly didn't dare to move.
The young man lowered his head and said, "I was passing by... and happened to carry with me... a photo-taking stone..."
The leading guardian stepped forward, took the photo stone from the boy's hand, and started to operate it.
Soon, a scene shot from behind Nan Wang appeared in the air.
Nan Wang's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked to the picture stone to admire it.
The Demonic World's Photo Stone can actually record videos!
If he could bring this thing back to Qingyun Sect, his convenient communication plan might be able to take it to the next level!
For a moment, Nan Wang no longer cared about proving his innocence. The only thing on his mind was how to import this special photo stone into Qingyun Sect in large quantities.
With the photo stone as evidence, Nanwang's innocence was soon confirmed.
Judging from the scene at that time, Nan Wang had retreated several steps and was already very far away from the shop. The evil energy that blew the shop away came from the side behind Nan Wang, and it was obviously not Nan Wang's doing.
Seeing is believing, and the truth is amazing.
The Dharma protectors discussed it for a while, and finally the leading Dharma protector said to Nanwang:
"It's true that you didn't do it, but the evil spirit came from a strange place. I've been here for so many years, and I've never seen such evil spirit that can kill people with one blow. Since you are involved in this matter, you still have to come back with us for questioning."
"Damn it! Is this going to end?" Nan Wang was speechless: "This matter really has nothing to do with me, why are you still relying on me?"
The leading guardian said, "This is the rule here, and we also follow the rule. If you don't want to cause trouble, just follow us."
Nan Wang weighed the current situation in his mind.
There are too many people on the other side, and their cultivation should be quite high. If they really start fighting, he will most likely suffer a lot.
But it would definitely not be possible for him to go with them, as he was not a serious casual cultivator. If he was accidentally found to have problems, it would be a huge loss.
What to do, run?
If I run away... I have finally proven my innocence, it would be too reckless to run away now.
While Nanwangshi was thinking, the leading guardian did not urge him, but just clenched his fist and waved it up and down.
This action gave Nanwang an epiphany.
He took out a high-quality spiritual stone from his storage bag and stuffed it into the leading guardian's hand:
"I'm new here, and I don't really know the rules. Can you please let me go this time? I know I've caused you trouble, big brother. These spirit stones... are just a reward for your trouble."
Seeing the top-grade spirit stone, the head guardian's attitude immediately softened: "Since this is your first offense, I'll let it go this time. Since you are a casual cultivator, you are unfamiliar with this place. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to the Patrol Department to find me."
Nanwang followed suit and said, "Okay, okay, thank you, big brother. Thank you, big brother."
After a brief greeting, the leading guardian turned around and left with his younger followers.
Nan Wang patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Spending money to avoid disaster, it really is spending money to avoid disaster.
If you go out, you really can't do without some spirit stones on you.
No one noticed that a strange demonic energy jumped out from the kind-hearted young man's hand, flew quickly along the ground, and drilled into the collar of the leading guardian as if it had life.
