Chapter 1 Taoism is ruthless(2/2)

He has seen so many people like this during this time.

After eating and drinking, he asked the waiter to bring over the singer's playlist and browsed through it at will.

Although Sanhui Zhuan was good, it was not suitable for the occasion, so he planned to change it to a more cheerful one.

Snap!

But at this moment, the bald man blushed and slapped the table.

"Do you really think that I, Boss Hu, can only brag!? Look, look what this is! A bone that the water ghost dropped on the ground! I secretly picked it up afterwards!"

He carefully took out a jade-like green stone from his arms and slapped it on the table.

"Isn't this just a piece of jade!" A man laughed.

"Zayu? This is Zayu?! What the hell are you talking about!"

The bald man blushed.

"Brother, can you show me this thing?"

Suddenly a gentle voice came from the side.

Lu Sheng stood at the table with a smile on his face and glanced at the green jade on the table.

"You dare to ask for this thing? This is something left by the water ghost." The bald man said in surprise.

He just took it out to show off now, planning to throw it away soon.

After all, this is not a thing left behind by humans. If it really attracts water ghosts and causes trouble, it will really be more than worth the gain.

"It's okay. I'll just take a look." Lu Sheng didn't believe in water ghosts. He just saw that the jade looked good and didn't look like ordinary jade.

You should know that ordinary jade can be bought everywhere in shops and stalls. It is made from the scraps of jade that are randomly polished, and the price is extremely cheap.

But for some reason, when he saw this piece of jade, he felt something was wrong.

Boss Hu, a bald and muscular man, looked at Lu Sheng and saw that he had an extraordinary temperament and was dressed in an elegant manner.

He wears a blue robe with white fox fur, a green jade outer hat, and black-soled boots with moiré patterns embroidered with silver thread.

A complete outfit can be spent in Guihuafang for several months. It can even cover the living expenses of an ordinary family for more than a year.

"Young master, if you want it, it's not impossible. Well...just one tael of silver will do!" The strong man hesitated for a moment and then tried to speak.

"Okay." Lu Sheng asked Xiaoqiao to take out a tael of silver and put it on the table.

"This is yours." The bald man decisively picked up the jade and stuffed it into Lu Sheng's hand. They exchanged looks, got up and left.

Lu Sheng didn't say anything and watched the others leave. He held the jade in his hand and picked it up to look at it carefully.

"One tael of silver, if exchanged in China on Earth, would have a purchasing power equivalent to one thousand yuan. That means you can be so wealthy in this life."

He shook his head. One tael of silver was nothing to him. According to this body's memory, his monthly expenses on weekdays were at least a hundred taels of silver.

Occasionally, it may cost more than a thousand taels. That’s millions!

Thinking of this, he secretly thought of losing his fortune.

Holding the jade in hand, he ignored the gazes of the guests watching the excitement around him and left the wine shop with his feet small, heading towards the carriage waiting outside.

But as soon as he left the wine shop and was not halfway through, he was suddenly startled and picked up the jade and put it in the palm of his hand.

The jade stone actually melted in the palm of his hand, in the palm of his right hand.

The originally hard stone turned into a ball of dark green mucus in just a few seconds, and a faint scream could be heard from the mucus.

puff!

The entire mucus suddenly exploded and turned into a cloud of green smoke, which slowly floated away from Lu Sheng.

He stood there in astonishment, and when he glanced at it, he found that the jade stone was still in his hand, but the green color inside had quietly disappeared.

"That was just now..."

He stood in a daze, recalling the previous scenes for a while.

"Young Master? Young Master??"

Xiaoqiao kept calling him from the side.

Lu Sheng came to his senses and looked at the jade in his hand. It was just an ordinary pebble, not even jade.

He felt a little confused, but he vaguely understood something.

"Let's go back home!"

Xiaoqiao blinked her eyes, a little unresponsive.

"oh...."

The two got on the carriage, the driver picked up his whip and cracked it a few times, and the two black horses with long hair began to move slowly.

In the carriage, Lu Sheng said nothing and kept looking at the pebbles in his hand.

Xiaoqiao also discovered something strange about the stone at this time.

"I've been fooled again!" She muttered in her heart, and didn't say much. The eldest son was doing well this time. The biggest time he was deceived before was for a so-called antique wine flask, which cost him thousands of taels of silver.

, almost made the master angry to death.

This time it was only one tael of silver, and the young master sometimes spent more than this amount on a meal.

The carriage went all the way back home. When passing by the city gate, Lu Sheng heard someone shouting outside.

"...I heard before that the water ghosts were eliminated! A wandering Taoist took action to relieve the crisis in the fishing village!"

"Is there anyone from the imperial court?"

"I've been here for a long time. I heard that even Ouyang Shaotou of the prefect's office in the city was almost trapped. Fortunately, I met a wandering Taoist. It is said that as soon as the Taoist made a move, a golden light flashed, and the water ghost screamed and turned into a

Green slime, then exploded into thick smoke."

"Didn't a master from the imperial court do it?"

"Of course not!"

Lu Sheng heard that it was the officers guarding the city gate chatting.

He would often pass by this city gate on purpose. The officers and soldiers here were well-informed and liked to brag about strange things.

"It's a coincidence..." Lu Sheng's face remained calm.

He recalled the piece of jade from before, and his heart sank.
Chapter completed!
