"Alright, then this deal is done.”Liu Mang smiled and calmly put away the silver." The immortal encounter is over. I'll take my leave. We'll part ways here."”
Liu Mang floated away, leaving behind a feeling of unfathomable power.
The innkeeper sent Liu Mang out. When he came back, he picked up the gold bricks he had exchanged for. His eyes were shining with golden light as he repeated,"I'm rich, I'm rich!"
Although he was so happy that his snot was popping out, he would cry when the gold bricks turned into stones a day later.
Liu Mang went outside and found Ning Caichen. He put his arm around Ning Caichen's shoulder and stuffed the fifty taels of silver he had just exchanged into his arms. He smiled and said,"Thirty taels of silver is the money that the shopkeeper used to pay off his debt. He wants you to go back and have an explanation. The rest of the money will be given to you.”
"How can this be? I can't accept this money.”Ning Caichen said anxiously.
"Just take it. I didn't give you this money for nothing. I have predicted that you will face a great calamity and need to return home quickly. If you return late, your life will be in danger. Stay at home for a month or two before you can go out. Do you understand?”
Liu Mang had managed to trick Ning Caichen into accepting the money, then he set off on his way back and left Jinhua City.
After Ning Caichen left, Liu Mang felt much more relaxed. He had experienced many things along the way and finally arrived at Nie Xiaoqian's house. However, he was in no hurry to enter. He was only here to inquire about the situation. There was no need to enter.
Nie Xiaoqian was the descendant of an official. Her family was well-off and she owned a house that occupied a large area. She was considered a famous family in the local area. On the plaque in front of the door, the words "Nie residence" were written.
Liu Mang did not enter the Nie residence. Instead, he knocked on the neighbor's door and lied that he was passing by to ask for a bowl of water. Then, he started chatting with the family and asked about the Nie residence.
Nie Xiaoqian was originally the apple of this family's eye. After she died, the old madam of the Nie residence was too sad and fell ill. She passed away not long after. Nie Xiaoqian's father was still there, supporting the entire Nie residence.
After hearing this news, Liu Mang could not help but feel a myriad of emotions. He felt emotional for both Nie Xiaoqian and himself.
Liu Mang had transmigrated here and was separated from his family and friends. It was very likely that he would never be able to return.
Especially his parents, he was most concerned about them.
Fortunately, he still had a brother at home who could take care of his parents for him, which made him feel a little comforted.
After understanding the situation in the Nie residence, Liu Mang drew a house protection talisman and quietly stayed in the Nie residence to express his feelings.
……
When Liu Mang returned to the vicinity of Lanruo Temple, the sky was almost dark and the rain had already stopped. He ran straight to the small bridge by the lake and bumped into Yan Chixia on the way.
The bearded man was squatting on the ground and staring at a group of ants. He did not know what was so good about it.
Liu Mang went over to greet him, but Yan Chixia ignored him. His eyes were still fixed on the ants on the ground.
"What's so good about a bunch of ants?”Liu Mang asked.
"I'm thinking about the difference between humans and these ants.”Yan Chixia answered.
"What did you think of?"
"Ants are busy, and humans are busy too. In fact, ants are very similar to humans.”
"Everything in the world is busy. Even a blade of grass is busy growing. In that case, all living beings are very similar.”
"That's why there's a difference in a day. Only when you go up can you become extraordinary and divine.”Yan Chixia pointed to the top of his head.
"Not necessarily. Those guys above are actually busy as well. The immortals have their own duties, and the Buddhas are busy preaching to save people. How many people in the world can truly achieve inaction, no desires, no achievements, and no mistakes?”Liu Mang spoke frankly and confidently, showing his true colors as a charlatan.
Yan Chixia was stunned. He frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
Liu Mang smiled and was about to leave. When he was halfway there, Yan Chixia spoke again,""The sword evil aura on your back is very strong. You must have just drunk human blood. It's best not to use this kind of thing. It was best to keep a respectful distance from the female ghosts in the forest.”
"Thanks for the reminder." Liu Mang replied, but he did not take it to heart.
He had the Beauty Portrait System, so he was destined to hook up with those fairy-like demons and ghosts. There was nothing he could do about it. As for the Evil Sword, it was just his tool and could not cause any big waves.
A moment later, Liu Mang arrived near the small bridge by the lake. He found a secret place to meditate and rest with his eyes closed.
After a long time, night fell, and the sky was filled with stars.
Nie Xiaoqian, who Liu Mang had been waiting for, finally arrived. She held a zither in her arms and walked forward gracefully. Every step she took was mesmerizing.
Nie Xiaoqian looked around as if she was looking for Liu Mang. When she saw that there was no one around, she revealed a gloomy expression. Then, she walked to the pavilion at the end of the bridge and sat down to play the zither. She used her jade-like hands to pluck the slender strings. Melodious and sorrowful zither music came from it and floated in the night sky.
Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu.
The five tones of ancient times were enough to play out all kinds of life.
