Chapter 10 Negotiations
The Taoist was obviously walking, but the surrounding mountains, rocks and trees could be seen flying back as if flying.

It was only then that Bai Zeqing realized that the Taoist priest had really slowed down just now in order to accommodate her.

What amazed her the most was that the Taoist priest kept his posture graceful and stable even in such a fast situation. Those jagged rocks and trees blocking the way would always be tens of feet away in the blink of an eye when Bai Zeqing felt as if they were about to bump into them. outside.

The sudden cliff in front of him was about to hit him, but the Taoist stepped on his feet and jumped up gently.

The moment Bai Zeqing volleyed in the air, he screamed in fright and closed his eyes, subconsciously embracing something tightly with his hands.

"Cough, let go!"

Bai Zeqing was too nervous and was still screaming.

"If you don't let go, I will let go." The voice was a little strange, as if being strangled.

Bai Zeqing opened her eyes—she strangled the Taoist priest desperately. "I'm sorry!" She let go of her hand quickly, but immediately there was a hole in the shoulder of the Taoist robe tightened again... the more she pulled, the bigger it got.

The Taoist looked at her sideways, with a strange expression on his face, but he didn't say anything after all.

Bai Zeqing let out a soft breath, and didn't dare to say anything else. She quietly pulled a few more inches of clothes with her hands, and pulled them tighter by two points.

In Yuanzhou City, in an unknown temple that fits the image of a Taoist priest very well——

Bai Zeqing stared blankly at the few grasses that the Taoist priest threw at her feet, and then at the down-and-out Taoist priest sitting on the window sill with a piece of dry grain grass in his mouth, looking a little dazed.

She really didn't expect that they came to such a broken place after walking through the streets and alleys and mountains.Could it be that this Taoist priest's... mountain gate?
And, are these herbs... really... medicine?He was obviously just messing around in the overgrown yard outside the Taoist temple...

She didn't dare to ask, and she didn't have the spirit to ask.Her legs were still hurting, as if her head was starting to ache too.

She decided to give up thinking, took a piece of cloth from the corner of her skirt and put it on the ground, picked up a stone, crushed the medicine, and applied it to the wound. Grinning her teeth in pain, she peeked out the window as if in a daze. Resisted not to make a sound.

Overnight, the city was broken and imprisoned, tortured and poisoned, and escorted by prison cars, one after another.Whether it was waiting for help in a snowy night or surviving in prison, she was always exhausted physically and mentally by the pressure, and had no chance to think about it.

Following this Taoist priest all the way to Po Taoist Temple is thrilling and bizarre.

Of course, the bizarre is a fact, and the thrill is only Bai Zeqing's unilateral feeling.

However, just out of danger like this, she had mixed feelings for a while.

When she thinks that her home is gone, and now she is alone, even if she believes in her father, there is no proof, and she doesn't know who to turn to for revenge for her elder brother, second brother and brother Qi, where can she find her mother, uncle and aunt?
Originally, she was vaguely expecting this Taoist priest to take her to find her uncle. She thought that even if she was sloppy, she would ask him for a pair of thangkas to repay his life-saving grace. Just her delusions.

The Taoist priest never mentioned his uncle and Thangka from beginning to end.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the road ahead was boundless. She couldn't help but her nose sore, and tears fell down.

As soon as the Taoist turned around, he froze.It's normal for this little girl to be locked up at the bottom of the prison car, why did she escape and cry?When I fell down, I was clearly protected by that trace of resentment, did it hurt that much?

"Hey, are you a masochist?"

"Well?"

"Shut up and don't cry, escape and cry?"

"I, I didn't cry! Sha, I squinted..." Bai Zeqing wiped his face carelessly.

"Give it to me, you go, Liangqing." The Taoist was too lazy to talk nonsense to her.

"Puppet?" Bai Zeqing looked confused.

The Taoist frowned and looked at her, trying to read something from her face, but it was the first time Bai Zeqing heard this word, so there was no flaw.

So the Taoist mercifully said two more words. "Wood carving, give it to me."

"No!"

Bai Zeqing finally understood that what the Taoist priest said to exchange for something when he saved her was actually a small wooden figure made for her by Brother Qi.

She didn't know why, and she didn't want to know, because there was no room for negotiation on this matter, and she refused without thinking.

"If I kill you, I can take it myself!" The Taoist said coldly.

Of course Bai Zeqing understood this truth, the strength that this Taoist priest showed when he rescued her and along the way made it easy to kill her.

However, this wooden figure was made for her by Brother Qi himself, and it was also the last thought that Brother Qi left for her. How could she give it up to others in order to survive?

Her mind was spinning rapidly, and she didn't have the heart to hurt the spring and the autumn, so she sniffed and said: "Master Dao, you have worked so hard to save my life, and you have carried me so far. I'm the least cost-effective, right, that means, your job was for nothing!"

"It's not for nothing." The Taoist nodded, "Give me the wood carving."

The Taoist made a reasonable face, this little girl must not be able to see the remnant soul and resentment in this wood carving, so to her, it is just an ordinary wood carving, can it be more important than life?
Bai Zeqing looked at the Taoist priest's serious face, and thought to himself that this Taoist priest is capable, but why does he feel so lacking in heart.

For the sake of saving her life, she continued to persuade her with good words: "Master Taoist, this wood carving is not worth much..." Seeing the Taoist frowning, she quickly covered her heart with her hands where the little wooden figure was hidden, and mended it. One sentence: "But it is more important than my life."

"Playing rascal?" The Taoist stroked his beardless chin and looked at her coldly.

"Who's playing a scoundrel!" Bai Zeqing got angry and argued, "Didn't I just say that wood carvings are worthless! I..."

She rolled her eyes and said: "I follow the rules of the world, and use money to buy my life!" She used to hear Brother Qi tell her stories about the world, and there was always a scene where money was used to buy her life.This Taoist priest and Taoist temple are so down and out, it must be rare money.

"Little girl, not everything can be bought with money." The Taoist lectured her seriously, and then raised three fingers, "3000 taels!"

"How much?" Bai Zeqing cried out.

The Taoist just shook his fingers.

"Three, 3000 taels?" Bai Zeqing's blood pressure was on the rise, but he didn't dare to scold loudly. He couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "Why don't you grab it?"

"You can't rob mortals at will." The Taoist shook his head seriously, "There are too many rules, it's annoying."

Yo, this ear is good.Bai Zeqing twitched the corners of her mouth, forced a smile on her face, and said in a coquettish tone towards Qi Ge Bai Ling, "Master Daoist, I'm worthless!"

The Taoist twitched his mouth, pointed at himself with a thumbs up, and said, "I'll do it, it's worth the money."

"God's stick! The trick to deceive a child is worth 3000 taels!" Bai Zeqing muttered in her heart, if it wasn't for the wilderness, and she couldn't beat him, she would have turned around and left.

She couldn't move her mind a little bit, so she simply put it out: "3000 taels is really nothing, why don't you just kill me." After speaking, she shrank half an inch to the base of the wall. This Taoist priest can't understand it with common sense. ...
