Chapter 217 Spend money to eliminate disasters
Chapter 217 Spend money to eliminate disasters
"Master, what is trickery?" Mu Yao asked the question in her mind.
Yu Heng's superb mystical skills reminded her of the Taoist exorcist she had seen in a movie.
In her original world, the literature recorded that Xuanshu was a part of Taoism, mainly based on magic. But in Yunqi, she didn't know whether its scope was also the same.
Today, Yu Heng mentioned a new term - "trickery", which made her feel that this continent is even more mysterious.
Helian Yun, Shen Chutang, Wei Wushang and Xiao Douxue were also very interested in this mysterious field and all looked towards Yu Heng.
Yu Heng considered the wording and said simply and clearly: "The art of trickery is actually a part of the art of mysticism. It combines the three arts of evil, witchcraft and poison."
Mu Yao's eyes flashed, and she asked, "Master, do you know this technique?"
Yu Heng wanted to say no, because trickery was a very shameful side job in their profession. Those who practiced this art must be widowed, orphaned, lonely, or disabled, and their fate must be flawed. This kind of people are destined to be doomed to be alone, and if you want to get close to them, you may not survive.
But facing the daughter's eyes full of expectation, somehow, he nodded.
However, he reacted quickly and shook his head resolutely under the shocked looks of Mu Yao and others.
"Master, what do you mean?" Mu Yao asked suspiciously.
Yu Heng hesitated for a moment and explained, "I know a little bit."
Helian Yun was worried that Gongsun Li would get into trouble if he brought the two brothers with him, so he asked solemnly, "Master, what do you think about today's incident?"
What he was worried about was also what the other people were worried about, but because of Gongsun Li's gratitude for saving his wife's life, he didn't say much.
Yu Heng half-closed his eyes, and his right hand unconsciously reached for the treasure gourd at his waist.
Gongsun Li gave the Reincarnation Pill to Situ Zhuo today, and he must have made up his mind to treat him. But by doing so, he was undoubtedly raising the flag to declare war on that person, which was very tricky!
Seeing that Yu Heng remained silent, Wei Wushang straightened his back and asked directly, "Master, are we in danger now?"
Yu Heng paused and nodded solemnly.
"If Master were to face off against that old man, how confident would you be?" Shen Chutang poured a cup of tea for Yu Heng and waited for his answer at a leisurely pace.
Terms like Xuanshu only exist in classics, and Shen Chutang's understanding of them is limited to the basics.
If I ever meet that person one day, I may not be able to defeat him easily.
Yu Heng had already given up the idea of making a fortune. Now that he had earned enough money, why not go back earlier?
Anyone who is good at trickery must be very advanced. And that person is an old man, so he might be difficult to deal with.
His narrow and long beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and he said seriously: "My master has just graduated. This person is quite advanced in Taoism. I am afraid that his intention is good but his strength is not enough. But you don't have to worry too much. Senior Gongsun is an expert in both medicine and poison, and his martial arts are unfathomable. I believe he can protect the two Situ brothers."
Mu Yao noticed Yu Heng's concerns, but how could they just withdraw now? They were all in the same boat. Even though Gongsun Li was the best in the world in martial arts, medicine and poisons, he was not good at trickery, so Mu Yao didn't think Gongsun Li had the confidence to win.
"I would like to ask the master for help. What do you think of 20 million taels?" Mu Yao asked tentatively.
Yu Heng could not be allowed to leave at any cost, otherwise, not only the people on the carriage, she was worried that more people would be affected.
Twenty million taels?
Yu Heng's spirits perked up, his mind instantly became extremely clear, his eyes sparkled, and the scent of gardenia lingering around his nose seemed to be even stronger.
He rubbed the treasure gourd heavily with his thumb for a few times, his chest was churning for a while, and he reluctantly declined: "Thank you Miss Mu for your trust in me, but..."
"Forty million taels." Mu Yao further tested.
Xiao Douxue raised his eyebrows slightly, and his lazy eyes became serious.
Helian Yun was surprised at Mu Yao's handiwork, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, because he knew that his wife was always calm and steady, and she must have her reasons for doing so.
Yu Heng was so excited at this moment that the word "excited" could not be used to describe it.
Another 40 million! He was stunned!
Reason and money collide violently, creating brilliant sparks.
The Grandmaster would not refuse this price, would he? If he were in danger, I think he would not stand by and watch him die.
But... his family has only one son for five generations, so he has to go back and ask for his grandfather and parents' opinions first.
"Thank you for Miss Mu's kindness. I need you to..."
"Sixty million taels! Master, you suppressed that man's magic today. Even if you don't go looking for him, he may still look for you! I hope you will think twice." Mu Yao guided him step by step.
In her opinion, the old man must be an extremely conceited person. At this age, such cruel means must have reached the pinnacle of Taoism. It must be admitted that their current situation is very dangerous. If this money can protect the safety of the whole family, Mu Yao thinks it is worth it.
Although Yu Heng is young, he has a golden light protecting him, so he is not necessarily inferior in terms of Taoism. Sometimes, talent is more important. For example, her attainments in medical skills are outstanding even in her original world.
“Miss Mu is wise and treats people with sincerity. She has a broad mind and is tolerant. I will do my best to help you eliminate disasters and difficulties and turn misfortune into good fortune.” Yu Heng’s eyes were as firm as a rock, flashing with fearlessness.
The price was sixty million taels, plus the forty million taels earned in seconds and the six precious pills.
I'm sure his grandfather, parents would not have any objection to this price.
High returns come with high risks. It’s worth a try!
If he really cannot defeat that old man, he still has the golden light of his father, grandfather and ancestors to protect him.
Oh my, I almost forgot about the old man. And the great grandfather who is still in the world and has been in seclusion for many years to seek immortality!
The fingers moved slightly, one, two, three, four, five.
One against five—it’s a sure thing!
