Rebellious Contract Beast

"What's wrong, the old witch is going to turn black!"

As soon as Shen Yi finished saying this in her heart, a sword appeared in the hand of He Jian Chuyun outside. She looked at Xu Sou with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "Do you think I don't dare to kill people?"

Seeing the sword in her hand, all the villagers present trembled in their hearts. They knew clearly that this sword had just killed hundreds of Inferi.

"Miss Mu! Calm down and don't act recklessly!"

"Let's talk about whatever we have to say, and don't do anything."

"Isn't it just a matter of seventy taels of silver? We all have to think of ways to get it together for Miss Mu!"

"Correct!"

"Miss Mu..."

"..."

The villagers tried to dissuade Tsurumi Chuyun, but she paid no attention to them and still looked at Xu Sou with cold eyes.

And the other party also knows that this matter cannot be passed without an explanation. After all, he has done it first. But, seventy taels is nothing to an alchemist, but to ordinary people, seventy taels of silver is theirs. A fortune that cannot be accumulated in a lifetime.

Where did you get so much money in a short period of time?

There was no way to solve this matter, so he simply closed his eyes, and his tone calmed down, and he said: "I can't do anything about it. If Miss Mu is not angry, just kill me. Anyway, I have had enough of life, so with a It’s worth it to trade the lives of all the people in the village with your dead life!”

As soon as he said these words, Tsurumi Chuyun's already cold face became even colder. At this moment, the look in her eyes became particularly cold, and she stared at Xu Sou like a sharp sword. He was in front of her. Under her eyes, her hunched body trembled uncontrollably, and the long sword sheathed in her hand began to shake slightly, as if it would fly out of the sheath at any time.

"You asked for it."

Tsurumi Chuyun slowly spoke six words, his words were very slow, without a trace of emotion, and seemed to be whispering.

Taking a deep breath, she slowly closed her eyes and touched the hilt of the sword with her white hand. At this critical moment, someone in the crowd raised his hand and shouted: "Wait a minute! Don't kill Xu Sou." ! Miss Mu, listen to me, I just remembered that I have something at home that should be worth a little money, and I will use it to block your seventy taels of silver from Miss Mu!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in front of him was instantly broken.

Hejian Chuyun raised his head and looked at the speaker, but said nothing. He quickly looked at Xu Sou, especially the ten taels of silver in his hand. He didn't know what he was thinking.

As soon as he finished speaking, the villager who spoke hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and ran quickly towards a certain house in the village, shouting as he ran: "Wait for me, don't kill Xu Sou!"

"..."

Not long after, the villager who spoke came back, but he was holding an old-looking object in his hand.

"Miss Mu, this is for you. I heard from my ancestor that this thing is worth his money. He kept it secretly and pinched it before he was alive. He didn't even touch it. Take a look."

"Teapot?" Tsurumi Chuyun's eyes quickly dissipated the murderous intent. She took the object in his hand and turned it left and right to look at it.

This is a short-mouthed teapot. The surface of the teapot has been coated with pulp. It can be seen that this thing is very old.

This is not something extraordinary, it is indeed an ordinary teapot. If you ignore the paste on the teapot, you can see that the workmanship of this thing is indeed exquisite.

"Is this... valuable?"

"I...I don't know. My ancestor has always collected it. I heard from my father that this teapot is worth more than a hundred taels of silver."

"One hundred taels..." Listening to the villagers' words, Hejian Chuyun's eyes became a little more suspicious.

Is this mediocre short-mouthed teapot worth a hundred taels of silver?

She didn't believe it at all, but looking at the pattern decoration on it, this teapot should be worth twenty or thirty taels of silver. After all, the workmanship was there, and it was very ornamental even if it didn't have much practical use.

Now she no longer expects to really get the seventy taels of silver that Xu Sou promised her. She only has one request, which is to give her enough money to buy alchemy materials.

So she said nothing more, put the teapot into the storage space, and walked towards the exit of the village without saying a word.

None of the villagers behind said anything. You looked at me, I looked at you, and finally watched her leave the village until she and Shen Yi disappeared into the night.

I don’t know how long it took, but there was the sound of insects all around, and everyone in the village breathed a sigh of relief.

……

On the other side, Hejian Chuyun walked almost half a mile without knowing it. Suddenly, a sound of "Sira" came from the side, and Shen Yi suddenly enlarged his body. The dragon wings on both sides spread out and raised high. He stood up, stretched out a paw towards himself and said: "Just walk here, I will fly you the rest of the way."

"Yeah." She nodded and stretched out her hand to Shen Yi, but just when he was about to grab it, her face turned pale and a surge of blood surged up. Before Shen Yi could grab it, she moved to the side and squatted down. He spat out a mouthful of blood from his lower body.

Shen Yi was stunned and said in a panic: "No, what's wrong with you? You've already reached the Pure Level, how can you still be hurt by those low-level Inferi?"

"No."

"Then why are you still vomiting blood?"

She shook her head and explained that in order to lure Hei Zi to the bait, she deliberately took two elixirs, causing her state to decline. After Hei Zi took the bait, in order to escape from her conscious space, it chose It broke through from other acupuncture points, but she sealed the acupuncture points on her body in advance, so that it could only come out from the center of the eyebrows, but this also caused those sealed acupuncture points to be injured by it.

"I'm fine. It's just that many acupuncture points on my body were impacted by the yin energy from this thing. I'll just rest for a few days and be fine."

"Oh." Hearing what she said, Shen Yi felt relieved and didn't rush her, just waited patiently behind.

After Tsurumi Chuyun squatted on the roadside and vomited out the blood, he took another sip of water to rinse the blood in his mouth. Then he stood up and said relaxedly: "Okay Xuanli, let's go."

Shen Yi nodded, and in the next second he grabbed her body regardless of her objections and took her flying directly into the air.

"what are you doing……!"

"I'm just afraid you won't be able to stand still."

"Take it easy..."

"Isn't this light enough?"

"..."

"By the way, you didn't really want to kill the old man just now, did you?"

"No."

"I think you're about to draw your sword."

"I didn't, I just wanted to scare him."

In fact, after she came out of Daoguo Township, she became less murderous than before. She would not kill anyone if she could, especially the poor people living in the countryside. Just now, she did not move as she said. The thought of killing Xu Sou was more threatening, to see if he was really not afraid of death, and there was also a sense of venting in it.

"Ah~"

Tsurumi Chuyun sighed. Although the process of catching Xie Sui was not difficult, it still took seven or eight days. After these seven or eight days of hard work, he got a teapot of doubtful value. Thinking about this She felt aggrieved, but after the grievance she became angry. She looked at the bamboo tube hanging around her waist, and out of anger, she directly picked up the bamboo tube and shook it vigorously.

Swish swish swish~

After venting, she felt a lot better, but there was a violent "tap-tap-tap" sound coming from the bamboo tube. It seemed that the black son was struggling inside again. …

The next day, at noon, at a pawnshop on a street corner in Beiting City, a girl in Tsing Yi hurriedly came here, with a bun in her mouth that she had just taken a bite of. She took out a small teapot from her sleeve, He handed it towards the high counter.

"Shopkeeper, help me find out how much silver this teapot is worth."

"Show me." A hand stretched out, caught the teapot handed over by the girl, and then examined it carefully.

The man behind the counter looked to be in his thirties. Judging from the way he handled the teapot, he didn't seem to have much experience. He was probably just a clerk in the pawn shop, temporarily taking over the work of the shopkeeper. After a while, , the girl obviously saw his brows frowning.

"A mediocre teapot may not be worth much."

"How about you take a look again?"

The guy looked down for a while. A teapot didn't sound very good, but its workmanship was really exquisite. He couldn't tell anything by looking left and right. He said to the girl below: "Wait a moment." .”

"Yeah." The girl nodded and waited patiently.

The person behind the counter put down the teapot and walked towards the back. At the same time, he shouted: "Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper! There is something small that I really can't understand. Please come over and ask for advice."

While waiting, another voice kept ringing in the girl's mind.

"Old witch, I think it's a bit dangerous. I told you yesterday to collect the ten taels of silver from the old man Xu Sou. If this broken pot isn't worth anything, I think you can work here for half a year."

"No...it can't be right? If it's not worth the money, I'll go to Tongfu Village again!"

"I can't control you, you're already at a loss anyway."

"..." Hejian Chuyun bit his lip and said nothing.

After waiting for a while, the guy who was behind the counter came back, and behind him was a thin old man with narrow eyes, which gave people a very sinister feeling. He didn't seem to be the kind of person who was easy to deal with.

Just when Tsurumi Chuyun was looking at the thin old man, the other party said: "What is it?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter quickly pointed to the teapot on the counter.

"It's hard to judge how much that teapot is worth."

The thin old man sped up, came to the counter, picked up the teapot and looked at it.

After a while, he tilted his head, his narrow eyes narrowed, and he murmured a few words: "Zhengfu Zhaoguang... is interesting."

Tsurumi Chuyun didn't understand what this meant, but when she arrived at Beiting City yesterday, she also checked the teapot in the inn and found a line of small words under the teapot. However, these words were written in ancient ways, not to mention Shen. She was so surprised that even she didn't understand what these words meant.

But from what the shopkeeper said, it seems like this teapot is worth some money?

Just when she was thinking this, the shopkeeper raised his head and looked at her: "Is this teapot yours?"

"Not really, it was given to me by someone else as a mortgage."

"Tell me, how much do you want to be?"

He Jian Chuyun thought for a moment and then said: "One hundred taels of silver!"

"One hundred taels...hehe..." When he heard that she wanted to pay for one hundred taels of silver, the thin old man chuckled. It didn't seem like a taunt, nor did it seem like a simple smile. Anyway, I couldn't understand what he meant.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Tsurumi Chuyun clenched her fists unconsciously. It was obvious that she was getting nervous.

After that, the thin old man no longer looked at her, but looked at the pawn shop clerk from before, and said, "Xiao Zhang, go get me a basin of water."

"Ok."

The shop assistant didn't say anything, just left the shop and ran towards the yard with the well at the back.

In less than half the time to burn the incense, he followed the old shopkeeper's instructions and fetched a basin of water.

"Shopkeeper, the water is here."

"Just put it here."

"Well, all right."

Not knowing what the old shopkeeper was going to do, He Jian Chuyun lay down in front of the counter and looked around curiously. Watching the old shopkeeper's movements, Shen Yi, who was watching from her perspective, couldn't help but think about it.

Could it be that spiritual beings often obscure themselves in novels? The old witch is the so-called child of luck. She accidentally picked up a building. The ordinary teapot is not a mortal object at all, it is just a spiritual object that hides itself. It’s just that the old witch and she were not discerning enough and missed it. But the old shopkeeper had a sharp eye and could see the extraordinary quality of the teapot at a glance.

However, Shen Yi was quickly disappointed. The teapot was indeed just an ordinary teapot.

I saw the old shopkeeper filling the teapot with water, then holding the handle of the teapot and pressing the lid with his thumb, tilted the whole teapot down, and poured out the water that had just been poured into it.

"What is this doing?"

"I don't know. There must be a mystery. Let's take a closer look."

"Pouring water in and then out, what kind of confusing behavior is this?" Shen Yi looked confused, but what is worth mentioning is that when the water in the teapot was poured out through the spout and fell into the basin, there was no sound at all. .

The old shopkeeper's eyes shone, and he couldn't help but nodded after a while.

"The water line is condensed but not scattered, round and powerful, and the water comes out like oil. It's really... not bad..."

The sound was loud at first, and both Shen Yi and Tsurumi Chuyun heard it, but later it seemed to turn into a whisper, making it difficult to hear.

After saying that, the old shopkeeper looked at Tsurumi Chuyun and said, "Just now you said that you should pay for this teapot for one hundred taels of silver. Although this teapot is indeed good, it is not worth that much."

"How much does the shopkeeper think is appropriate?"

"Forty taels." The shopkeeper held out four fingers.

"Forty taels..."

The price was higher than what Tsurumi Hatsumi had expected. It was rare for such a small teapot to be worth so much, so she nodded without thinking too much.

"Good! Deal!"

But she agreed so quickly that Shen Yi didn't even have time to dissuade her.

"Not an old witch!... Hiss~ Ouch! What are you doing!"

"what?"

"You can obviously sell it for higher prices! Ouch! I really admire you!" (End of Chapter)
