"Know."
Goethe did not hide it and nodded.
When I was handling this transaction in the city a few days ago, the old Taoist I met called himself "Changshengdao".
Since Lao Wang asked, he must know something.
Looking at the name, it's very auspicious.
But in fact, looking at the boss's attire and behavior, one can guess that this "path to immortality" is definitely not a good thing.
In fact, this is true.
As soon as Goethe nodded, Lao Wang immediately introduced this "Way to Immortality".
Outsiders do not know where the "Eternal Life" was originally born.
However, the place that rose was Haimen.
"Mr. Mo, you don't know that this 'Eternal Life' is really nothing. Haimen is known as the 'lower end of the nine rivers', with people coming and going from the south and the north, and the water and land docks are crowded and mixed."
"This 'Path to Immortality' is mixed in with them, Pat Huazi."
"Besides, these guys also..."
"Gathering and dissecting."
Lao Wang said this very carefully.
Why?
Because when he said "拍花子", Lao Wang found that Mr. Mo, who was usually indifferent, had a gloomy face.
Trafficking in children means trafficking in children.
Goethe, who was born in an orphanage, hated child trafficking the most.
Because, in the welfare home, many of his friends were abducted and sold, and eventually they couldn't even find a home and had to stay in the welfare home.
And cutting off living beings is even more hateful.
These beasts deserve to be cut into pieces.
They specifically prey on children from good families, breaking their arms and legs and forcing them to beg for money. Some even cover them with dog skins...
One of Goethe's friends had both legs chopped off.
He is a child from a good family.
I don't remember much when I was kidnapped.
By the time I started to record things, it was already too late.
There's no way to get it back.
But now that it’s found, what can I do?
However, it is more difficult.
Goethe's friend had whispered these things to Goethe the night before. When he went to the toilet at night, he hung himself on the door handle with his shoelaces, sat down, and died.
Whenever Goethe he felt so angry that his teeth itched.
Because they were one of his few friends.
Although the welfare home is a big family, there are still different levels within small families, not to mention large families.
Goethe was called a madman and no one wanted to play with him.
The one who was also despised and had no legs became his friend.
"continue."
Goethe said in a low voice.
"Ten years ago, 22 children were lost in Haimen in one day. One of them was the son of the wealthy Zhang family. Mr. Zhang immediately offered a reward of 10,000 silver dollars to find his child. The government offices, street gangs, and some hidden gangs in Haimen were all alerted. Money can attract people's attention, so everyone started looking for the child together."
"As they say, there is strength in numbers."
"The child was found early the next morning."
"But, just find the young master of Mr. Zhang."
“The rest, I haven’t found.”
"At the end of the day, it's all about money."
Speaking of this, Lao Wang smacked his lips.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
This was not found, but released by the 'Changshengdao'.
Ten thousand dollars.
What is that concept?
Rumor has it that a 40-room courtyard house with a greenhouse, carriages and horses in the imperial capital would cost only five thousand dollars.
In other words, ten thousand dollars can buy two such luxury houses.
This makes those wandering people angry.
Except for those born playboys, everyone who travels around the world does so to make a living.
"Is that the end of the matter?"
Goethe asked.
"How can that be possible!"
"Master Zhang gave that man 10,000 dollars and issued a bounty list. Whoever brings him the head of the leader of the 'Eternal Life' sect will be given 100,000 dollars. Other ranks will also receive bonuses accordingly."
"It's not just Haimen that's in chaos now. The Imperial Capital and Shencheng are all in chaos."
“There are many people in these three places.”
"There are many people who follow the 'Eternal Life Path'."
“There are many wanderers.”
"Especially the 100,000 oceans, many people in the famous rivers and mountains are also tempted. Although they have been plowed by our 'Saint Emperor', after so many years, some of them have revived."
"Moreover, those who surrendered early put in even more effort."
"One month!"
"The leader of the sect disappeared, and others were either killed or captured. The 'Changsheng Dao', which claimed to have millions of followers, was completely destroyed."
Lao Wang raised a finger, looking very upset.
"Anything else?"
Goethe continued to ask.
These things should not be too secretive. You can find out by asking. There is no need for Lao Wang to speak in a mysterious way.
"certainly!"
"Later, a good friend of my master from Haimen said after drinking that the disappearance of the young master of Mr. Zhang's family was a complete trap, in order to make the Zhang family deal with the 'Eternal Life'."
"And in recent years, the Zhang family has really declined."
"It seems to be true."
Lao Wang lowered his voice again.
set?
Someone set up a trap, the clams fight each other, and the fisherman benefits?
Who is the fisherman?
Someone from the government office.
Among the people in Guanting, both the Zhang family and the "Changsheng Dao" should be fat meat.
One bite and your mouth will be filled with oil.
As long as you eat at one family, you are also eating at the Zhang family ('Changshengdao') and Guanting is full.
Not to mention eating it all.
Goethe was not interested in the declining Zhang family.
He specifically asked about the 'path to immortality'.
"Has the 'Path of Immortality' revived?"
"How can this be called a resurgence?"
"It's from light to dark."
Old Wang pursed his lips, with a mixture of regret and disdain. The old servant of the Wang family sighed and said, "It seems that the 'Path of Immortality' suffered heavy losses, but it was only quiet for two years, and then it became active again."
"The decline of the Zhang family is closely related to the 'Eternal Life' path."
"At that time, the Zhang family had already been severely damaged and had no more money to spend."
"Small money?"
“It’s hard to hire anyone with real skills.”
"People who are truly capable don't care about small amounts of money."
"The Zhang family is also pitiful. They were once a wealthy family in Haimen, but now they are deserted. I heard that the young master Zhang who was rescued by Mr. Zhang has sold his ancestral property."
"It will fall into ruin sooner or later."
As Lao Wang spoke, he began to feel uneasy.
Then, he saluted Goethe again.
Old Wang thought of the Wang family.
If it weren't for Goethe, the Wang family would have been like this too.
Even worse.
The Wang family does not have the foundation of the Zhang family.
Even if it doesn't work, there are still three nails in a rotten boat.
Otherwise, given the Zhang family's situation, could they still force that young master Zhang to sell off his ancestral property?
It had been swallowed long ago.
"So, that's why you hired someone?"
Goethe glanced at the men with firearms.
Although it cannot be called elite, it is definitely useful against ordinary people.
“I have no choice.”
"Most of the servants and men of the Wang family were killed by that ungrateful bastard."
"The rest are also injured."
“We can only test outsiders first.”
"With 'The Way of Immortality' here, I don't have anyone here, and I dare not sleep at night."
Lao Wang smiled bitterly.
Lao Wang didn't tell Mr. Mo to be careful. Does he need to be careful about the 'Path to Immortality' when Uncle Liu calls him grandpa?
unnecessary.
On the contrary, the 'Changsheng Dao' should be careful with this gentleman.
Goethe also laughed.
Then, Lao Wang couldn't laugh anymore.
because--
"Help me get some information about the 'Path of Immortality'."
Goethe said so.
"Mr. Mo?"
Lao Wang was stunned.
There are so many people around that it's hard to get to the 'Path to Immortality', how can you squeeze in?
Mr. Mo, you are not afraid.
The Wang family is afraid.
"I've already provoked them, so I have to wipe them out. Otherwise, I won't dare sleep at night."
Lao Wang blinked when he heard it.
Just staring at Goethe.
It took Lao Wang two or three seconds to understand why Uncle Liu called the gentleman in front of him "Grandpa".
There are many capable people, but there are definitely not many who can reach Mr. Mo's level.
And after reaching this level, there are even fewer people who can use drastic measures.
Just don’t mess with me, it’s good for you, it’s good for me, it’s good for everyone.
If you provoke me, I will root you out.
So domineering!
Lao Wang sighed in his heart, but he didn't hate it.
Because Lao Wang knows too well that in today's world, only people like this can gain a foothold.
"Understood. The Wang family will definitely do their best."
Lao Wang bowed all the way.
"Also, [Bao Ka]!"
"I need more [Treasure Cards], help me find them."
Goethe continued to give instructions.
Having said this, Goethe paused.
If you want benefits, you naturally have to give some sweetness.
After a pause, Goethe continued.
"If the Wang family has any problems in the future, you can show my brand."
Goethe narrowed his eyes again as he spoke.
Goethe's brand may not be bright enough now, but as time goes by, Goethe knows very well that 'Mo Shengyi' will become famous all over the world - whether it is looking for more [Treasure Cards] or killing all the 'Changshengdao', it will be known to everyone.
Instead of hiding it, it’s better to show the brand.
Of course, when killing 'Changshengdao', you might be able to collect a few [Treasure Cards].
"Mr. Seamus."
After Old Wang bowed again, he chatted with Goethe in a low voice for a few words, then turned and walked to the front of the village.
Now that he's here, Lao Wang of course has to chat with Lao Li.
At least, you have to get a meal before leaving.
This is the time to get closer.
It wasn't necessary before.
Now?
That is what is necessary.
When the eldest daughter of the Wang family left, she looked back every few steps.
What do you want to say?
In the end, nothing was said.
In the heart of Miss Wang, she wanted to talk to Mr. Mo more, but it would not work to do so at this time. At least there had to be something, such as... [Treasure Card].
You will feel confident when you speak with the [Treasure Card].
Although her father said that the thing was not a good thing, with Mr. Mo's ability, it would definitely be fine.
The Wang family left.
Goethe opened his eyes again and took out the card.
[Snake Transformed into Dragon (No. 108): A secret medicine obtained from the experiment of the Mad King. After use, ordinary snakes can obtain a trace of dragon blood. 】
(Note 1: Each use consumes thirty years of life)
(Note 2: Users can use Bloody Honor instead)
(Note 3: Remaining times: 2/2)
…
"Hmm?"
"Secret medicine!"
Goethe narrowed his eyes.
He didn't expect that something like 'secret medicine' could appear in the [Treasure Card] and that it had a usage limit.
No wonder Liu Xianer insists on staying in the Wang family.
This [treasure card] is really useful to it.
However, neither the Master nor Liu Xian'er found the right solution.
The [Treasure Cards] made by the 'Mad King' not only consume lifespans when , but you also have to know how to open them when using them - that is, the trial.
All kinds of weird.
If you succeed, you can use the [Treasure Card] and consume your life.
If you fail, you cannot use the [Treasure Card] and your life will be consumed.
Simply put, regardless of success or failure, the 'Mad King' has won.
Of course!
Now it's Goethe's.
If the 'Mad King' wins, then he's done.
Goethe really won without any effort.
In his heart, Goethe thanked the 'Mad King' again.
Then he put away the two boxes and the [Treasure Card].
When collecting it, Goethe paid attention to it.
In the big box, there are two large yellow croakers and thirty small yellow croakers.
hard currency.
The large yellow croaker weighs one pound.
The small yellow croaker weighs one or two ounces.
One tael of gold could be exchanged for forty silver dollars, which means that these thirty small yellow croakers were worth one thousand two hundred silver dollars, and the two large yellow croakers could be exchanged for eight hundred silver dollars.
The sum of the two is two thousand silver dollars.
The Wang family has invested a lot of money.
As Goethe was thinking, a shout came from afar:
"Mr. Mo~Mr. Mo~noodles!"
Li Changhai came trotting over with a plate in his hand.
A large bowl of tomato and egg noodles, garlic-smashed cucumber, two heads of raw garlic, a plate of chili oil, a plate of fried peanuts, and a plate of braised giant insect meat.
Although Mr. Mo gets sick of eating too much meat, he still finds it comfortable to eat tomato and egg noodles with some braised meat.
"Mr. Mo, shall we go back to the house?"
Li Changhai asked.
"Need not."
Goethe waved his hand.
It was midday, there was no wind and the sun was still shining.
It's more comfortable outside.
Pick up the tomato and egg noodles, pour the chili oil directly on them, mix well with a spoon, grab the smashed cucumber and braised meat while slurping a mouthful of noodles, then take a bite of raw garlic, and then slurp another mouthful of noodles.
That's really beautiful.
"Mr. Mo, please slow down."
“There are some good things.”
As Li Changhai spoke, he took out a pot of wine from his cotton-padded jacket pocket and a wine cup from the other pocket.
The wine is hot.
Li Changhai heated the wine in boiling water.
When I came out, I put it in the pocket of my cotton jacket.
It’s not freshly brewed medicinal wine, but one that has been brewed before.
The wine, which should have been transparent, turned bright yellow due to the addition of ginseng, deer antler and wolfberry.
The taste is not strong, spicy, but slightly sweet.
Goethe drank it all in one gulp.
Li Changhai poured it immediately.
A pot of 2 taels can pour just six cups.
Goethe finished his bowl of noodles and a pot of wine. He poured the cucumber soup on the plate over his noodles and ate it all.
"I'll bring you some noodle soup."
Li Changhai watched Goethe finish his meal.
Immediately, he picked up the plate and ran back to the kitchen.
After a while, he ran back with it.
Not only was there noodle soup, but there were also two apples .
"This is what the Wang family brought. They said it was greenhouse vegetables."
"Come, have a taste."
Goethe took one apple and handed the remaining apple to Li Changhai.
Li Changhai took it with a silly smile, wiped it and was reluctant to eat it.
He planned to give it to his younger brother Li Fugui to try.
The Wang family didn’t send much greenhouse vegetables.
Given my dad’s personality, he would definitely not want to eat it right away.
At least it has to be New Year’s Eve.
His younger brother is greedy and must be feeling very uncomfortable these past two days. He has to help his younger brother satisfy his craving.
Goethe knew it, but he didn't care.
Since it has been given, it belongs to Li Changhai.
How to stay or go.
Li Changhai is responsible for it himself.
Putting the apple in his pocket, Li Changhai suddenly remembered something.
He asked——
"Mr. Mo, tomorrow is the Little New Year. My father is going to worship the godmother tree. Do you want to come with us?"
