Chapter 44 White Fairy Cave
"Three thousand taels?!"
The people around him all gasped when they heard the voice.
They had seen money before, but they didn't expect that any piece of jewelry on the Nineteenth Young Master could be sold for so much money. Many people around him looked at Chen Luo with different eyes.
'This guy is so lucky. Looking at the clothes on him, he should be a member of the Miscellaneous Affairs Department. '
Several chief clerks around him were already thinking about how to make this guy from the Miscellaneous Affairs Department hand over the things obediently. They took the things not to make money, but to curry favor with the Nineteenth Young Master. As long as such a big man is curried, he won't have to worry about the rest of his life.
It was also because Qingya County had just changed. Otherwise, the county master would not say anything, and the secretaries below would definitely know their own people. Chen Luo only knew this point before he dared to sneak in openly. It is estimated that this group of people never thought that someone would be so bold as to sneak into the county government office when the army was still there.
The Nineteenth Young Master smiled, put away the things and sat back in his seat. He understood the psychology of these people very well, but he didn't care.
As long as he got what he wanted, he didn't care about the lives of others!
In his opinion, even if Chen Luo was killed by others afterwards, it was his bad luck that he couldn't bear such overwhelming wealth.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
Chen Luo's face was full of surprise, and when he looked at the 19th sir, the smile on his face became brighter. This kind of smile was naturally regarded as flattery by others around him. It was natural for small people to flatter big people, and no one doubted it.
Chen Luo was also very happy because he finally confirmed one thing.
This 19th sir did have the means to sense the "immortal treasure", but the ability of this means was very limited. He just injected a little light blue energy and deceived him.
"Go down, there is nothing for you here."
Looking at Chen Luo with a smile on his face in front of him, I don't know why I felt a creepy feeling in my heart.
'Illusion, it must be an illusion! '
The 19th sir took a sip of the wine glass on the table, and then he was amused by this absurd idea. He is the Prince of Ning. Although he is a concubine, he is definitely the most noble person in a small place like Qingya County. A mere errand boy in the county government is like heaven and earth compared to him. After today, there will be no intersection. They are destined to be two parallel lines.
What threat can such a person give him?
"If you have nothing to do, go down."
Although he figured it out, the Nineteenth Master still drove Chen Luo down.
"Yes, thank you, the Nineteenth Master."
Chen Luo took the ring given to him by the Nineteenth Master and retreated with a smile on his face.
Although the several chief clerks next to him were tempted, they did not speak.
If they immediately asked for the things that the Nineteenth Master had just rewarded, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the owner? This kind of thing should be done afterward when no one is paying attention. By then, if a few empty checks are promised, a errand boy who has never seen the world will not be caught easily and obediently offer the things?
After leaving the courtyard, Chen Luo slowly stood up straight from his bent back, looked back at the still lively scene in the courtyard, and the smile on his face became brighter.
Night.
Midnight.
After eating and drinking, the 19th Master said goodbye to the invitation of Zhou Zhixian and others, and walked towards the other garden.
The middle-aged scholar followed him.
It was not until they entered the other garden and drove away all the guards that the two sat down, and there was no sign of drunkenness between their brows.
Even so, the 19th Master was still worried, so he stood up and walked to the door, and relaxed after looking around to make sure that no one was there.
"Prince, the errand boy today"
As the teacher of the 19th Master, the middle-aged scholar saw everything at the banquet. It was difficult for him to ask before because there were so many people talking, but now that there were only two people left, he naturally had to find out
His interests were tied to the 19th Master, and he had to find out the purpose of the Master's doing this, and then help him make plans and find opportunities to turn things around.
"Have you heard of immortal cultivators?"
The 19th Young Master sat at the table and put the jade book next to the candlestick. He could hardly suppress the excitement on his face.
Immortal cultivators? !
The middle-aged scholar's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he stood up suddenly as if he remembered something, and looked at the jade book in the hands of the 19th Young Master eagerly.
He had also been to the capital, so he naturally knew about immortal cultivators.
In Yue State, there are shadows of immortal cultivators behind the top dignitaries. Although those people are high above and never look down on the mortal world, their every move affects the country. Everyone dreams of encountering the "immortal fate" one day and becoming a person in the "heaven".
"That's right, this jade slip is an immortal item! ! That errand boy is as stupid as a pig and has no idea of the true value of this thing."
As he spoke, the 19th Young Master took out the jade pendant on his body.
As soon as the jade pendant appeared, it immediately echoed the jade book.
The words hidden between the two began to slowly emerge, and a hint of light blue light appeared in the house.
"It is the immortal text of Baixian Cave!! The words recorded on this jade book must have been left by the immortal of Baixian Cave. With this thing, I can enter Baixian Cave and exchange for the opportunity to listen to the teachings for three months." When he said this, the Nineteenth Young Master had completely failed to hide the enthusiasm in his eyes.
He was not afraid that his teacher would know.
Having fallen to this point, he must show some value, otherwise one day, his teacher might surrender to other brothers.
The 19th Master is very clear about his weaknesses. Without the help of his teacher, he will definitely not be able to defeat those brothers.
"An opportunity to listen to the teachings? Just one opportunity?"
The middle-aged scholar has calmed down and started to think about the interests involved in this matter.
He thought that King Ning had completely given up on his son. Now it seems that there should be a lot of information behind this matter that he doesn't know.
"One opportunity is rare. Baixian Cave is a cave of immortals. The "immortal text" they release is a means of selecting disciples, which also conforms to the immortals' "fate". As long as you hold the "immortal text" and go there, you are considered a destined person. The three-month opportunity to listen to the teachings is a screening method. Those who understand the Tao can stay, and those who fail will be expelled."
"Why do you know so clearly, Master?"
"I went there once with this jade pendant when I was seven years old, and it was that time that my qualifications were tested."
At this point, the 19th Master's eyes fell on the middle-aged scholar.
"Teacher, I have told you all the secrets."
The middle-aged scholar sighed upon hearing this, stood up and bowed to the Nineteenth Young Master, and said seriously.
"I will definitely not disappoint you, my lord."
"Hahaha!! Good. If I can become an immortal in the future, I will definitely help you, my lord, so that you can also become an immortal and live forever." The Nineteenth Young Master imitated his father and made an empty promise to his teacher. If it was any other promise, the middle-aged scholar would definitely not take it to heart.
But the immortal fate!
There is no one in this world who is not tempted.
"So that's it. I wonder where this White Fairy Cave is. Can the Young Master help me solve my doubts?" A voice suddenly sounded outside the window.
Bang!!
The next moment, there was a loud bang, and the window that was closed by the Nineteenth Young Master was broken.
I saw Chen Luo, dressed in black, flipping in from the outside. This outfit was just short of writing the words "I am not a good person" on his face.
