Chapter 44 Attractive Opportunity
After Yu Lie took his IOU, he walked straight outside the bank gambling house.

On the way, he carefully checked the IOU, confirmed that it was the original one he had drawn, then immediately tore it up, put it in his sleeve pocket, and planned to take it back and burn it.

But when he was about to step out of the gate of the bank, the banker's clerk suddenly stepped in front of Yu Lie.

"Guests please stay!"

The clerk clapped his hands and invited Yu Lie with a smile, and asked Yu Lie to go to a side room.

Yu Lie paused, his eyes were slightly cold, and he smiled and said, "What's the matter? Your master is looking for me?"

Unexpectedly, the clerk shook his head, and replied: "No, no, there is a distinguished guest in the workshop, I want to be introduced by this workshop, I hope to meet the guest."

Yu Lie was taken aback for a moment, narrowing his eyes slightly.He thought it was because he messed with the gambling house after playing high profits to death, or something else, but it turned out that it was not the gambling house looking for him at all, but someone else.

"VIP?"

After a little thought, Yu Lie still said, "Lead the way."

Anyway, Yu Lie couldn't afford to offend him for the time being, no matter if he was the owner of the gambling shop or a distinguished guest. Instead of avoiding seeing him, it's better to meet him face to face, whether it's a sword or a gun, so he can be psychologically prepared later.

And before he came to the bank to pay back the money, Yu Lie talked to Luo Botou and the others early in the morning, but at that time he only said that he would pay back the interest.

The guy led the way immediately: "Please!"

This time, going deep into the store, the road I walked was different from the road led by the single-path boy. Not only could I not hear the screams, but even the floor of the passageway was smooth. A burst of fragrance.

After a while, I came to a warm room. Before Yu Lie saw the stove, there was a burst of warmth, which made people feel comfortable.

The clerk opened the red beaded curtain and said, "Dear guest, shopkeeper, the guest is here."

As soon as Yu Lie bent down and got in, he felt a chill coming out of his body again, like ice and fire, but it disappeared quickly, very similar to the feeling he felt when he entered the library.

Then, Yu Lie clearly felt that several eyes were looking at him quietly.

Yu Lie settled down and looked across.

A short figure like an old lady, a child like a big-headed doll, and an old man dressed like a servant stood behind the big-headed doll.

The three stared at Yu Lie.

Yu Lie slapped his head generously, and then said: "I don't know, everyone, what can I do?"

First, the old Dan-like figure, with a gloomy face, said: "Jie Jie! Good boy, you returned this one today, and you directly turned off the old man, a good fellow, a bit courageous."

Yu Lie looked at the other party, raised his brows slightly, and realized that the other party was probably the master behind the gambling house, and even if not, the other party was at least someone like Fang Lao Danfang.

Yu Lie didn't panic, instead he cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"The shopkeeper's words are wrong. The visitor is a customer. In just a few months, Poor Dao has made your shop thousands of dollars. This is a frequent customer. With piercing eyes, you must be right at a glance, and you will naturally make a judgment."

Lao Dan chuckled, her face changed abruptly, revealing a disgusted appearance of trembling flowers and branches, grinning:

"That's right! I have been running a pawn shop in the town for 50 years, and the most important thing I care about is the rules. There is no rule without rules. When customers come to our shop to pay back the money, how can they be bullied by the shopkeepers!"

"The guest taught me a good lesson today! If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known that my subordinates dared to manipulate the game indiscriminately."

"Hmph!" Lao Dan grinned coldly, and said with grinning teeth: "A group of rats! You guys who are useless, it seems that the old man has cleaned up his housework."

After listening to it, Yu Lie didn't take seriously what Lao Dan said.

He didn't believe that the other party would not know what was going on in the casino.Otherwise, where did so many gamblers in the gambling pit come from?At most, this person knew about it but didn't take it seriously, and Gao Lidaotong took advantage of it.

However, Yu Lie still expressed flattery to Lao Dan: "The shopkeeper has sharp eyes!"

Lao Dan smiled and quickly waved his hands: "I talked too much, and I stole the corner. It's not the old man who is looking for you today, but this distinguished guest!"

She quickly stepped aside and let Yu Lie look at the big-headed doll next to her.

It was only then that Yu Lie noticed that while he was talking with Lao Dan, the big-headed doll on the recliner had been staring at him with curiosity on his face.

The old servant next to the big-headed baby has even more sinister eyes, as if he wants to peel off a layer of skin from Yu Lie with his eyes.

Without waiting for Yu to make a sound, the old servant said bluntly: "The man has brought it, shopkeeper, you should avoid it first."

Lao Dan's face froze when she heard the words, but she immediately smiled and played with Luopa: "Okay, okay, don't disturb the young master's good business!" She covered her mouth, walked out of the conservatory in small steps, and closed the room intimately. Door.

Squeak, the conservatory was instantly quiet, the ground was glowing red, and the aroma seemed to be thickly piled up.

The bloody fighting continued below the window, but no sound could be heard.

Yu Lie looked at the master and servant in front of him, not knowing what the other party's intentions were, so he just folded his hands and listened.

I saw the shady old servant suddenly sneered and said:
"Yu Lie, a son of the Yu family in Qianjun, a concubine, he used his liver and lungs as compensation, borrowed money to go out of the town to eliminate demons, and now he is a low-ranking Taoist boy... Tsk tsk, it's only been a few months, and you have made the second change all the time." It's digested."

Yu Lie heard the other party report his information one by one, and at a glance he saw that he had just digested the change of "like a wolf like a tiger".

His pupils suddenly shrank.

Then, Yu Lie felt that the light in front of him dimmed again, and the old servant took six or seven steps in the blink of an eye, which Yu Lie couldn't catch with his naked eyes, and appeared in front of Yu Lie in a trance.

However, the old servant did not show any hostility. Seeing Yu Lie's calm appearance, his coldness faded away. He looked at Yu Lie appreciatively and asked:

"What kind of exercises did you practice?"

Yu Lie realized that this old servant was probably not just a Taoist boy, but a character at the level of an eighth-rank Taoist!He lowered his gaze, took a slight breath, and said in a deep voice:

""Five Poisons Refining Viscera Guidance Technique", a poison art."

Yu Lie received the exercises from the library, and he had to record them one by one. This record should be kept secret for ordinary people, but if the old servant on the opposite side really wants to inquire about it, it must not be difficult.

The old servant pondered: "It turned out to be a poisoning skill, no wonder it can be done so quickly."

The interest on this person's face was even greater, he pointed out the window, and asked again: "Looking at it now, even if you ended up in the betting fight just now, it is very likely that you will kill the other party, vent your anger, and still be in vain." Earn ten thousand...why don't you gamble?"

Yu Lie pondered for a while, and just said: "No need, gambling is dangerous after all, it's not worth it, and it may offend others even more."

"Hahaha!" The old servant was completely happy when he heard Yu Lie's answer:

"What a wise little Taoist boy, in such a dangerous place as Heishui Town, he would die if he didn't fight, and he practiced poison kung fu, yet he still knows the principle of 'why take risks' and knows how to advance and retreat."

The old servant cupped his hands at the big-headed doll behind him: "Young master, someone has been chosen for your book boy again. This boy is very good. Maybe he can be the leader of the young master's Taoist army in the future."

When the big-headed baby heard the old servant's words, a happy expression appeared on his face.

Because of obesity, it was difficult to get up, but the big-headed doll still struggled to turn over from the chair and grabbed hands towards Yu Lie, as if learning how to arch.

Yu Lie was taken aback when he heard the old servant's words.

There was a flash of light and flint in his mind, and he immediately thought of Gao Li's disclosure of the news to himself before, and a thought popped up: "Could it be that Gao Li wants to win consecutive victories just to win the favor and appreciation of these people?"

Sure enough, the next moment, the shady old servant said again:
"Young man, I can guarantee you to leave Heishui Town today, and I can also provide you with a chance to be promoted to a Taoist, and to go to the state city to practice Taoism and study the law..."

The old servant on the opposite side continued to talk, promising various conditions, but Yu Lie only heard the first three, and felt a bang in his head, as if a thunder had exploded.

Leaving such a remote and barbaric place as Heishui Town is the lifelong dream of many Taoist boys!The reason why Yu Lie stepped up his training and practiced poison kung fu was that he hoped to be promoted to Taoist within three years, so that he had the opportunity to leave Heishui Town.

But this is only a possibility, after all, he has been delayed for more than a year, and in the end he has to pass the death test if he wants to be promoted to a Taoist disciple...

As for going to Zhoucheng to practice Taoism, it is even more unimaginable. For example, in the family Yu Lie came from, there were only one or two generations.

Yu Lie looked at the big-headed doll on the recliner and thought:
"This person is probably a big family in the city!"
