Chapter 184 Longevity

On the other side, Takesaburo also looked confused.

He sells seventy or eighty buns every day, not to mention one hundred. After considering the cost, he has at least thirty or forty Gusheng Tongbao profits.

There are almost half of the buns left in the steamer.

Do you really want to spend a day's hard-earned money to exchange for a talisman that doesn't work?

Wu Sanlang looked at the talisman in Li Wenshu's hand for a while, then lowered his head and looked at his stall, hesitating.

"Foolish seed, my junior brother, this talisman can extend your life for twenty years. Go back and burn it to ashes with fire, drink it with water, and keep the old man's medicine until the illness is cured. This is your blessing, but it can't be exchanged for a cart of steamed buns?

"

Seeing this man's indecisiveness, Hongyunzi couldn't help but laugh and curse.

Increase income for twenty years?

When Wu Sanlang heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and even the people watching on the side also whispered.

"Really or not?"

"I don't think these two Taoists are fake. If they can give a hundred gold to that crazy woman, how can the Taoist priest covet him?"

"Maybe they are colluding..."

"Come on, you worked so hard to put on a show just for this cart of buns?"

"Twenty years of longevity, if it were me, I would rather believe that these two Taoist priests are telling the truth!"



The onlookers also had different opinions. Some people thought Li Wenshu and Li Wenshu were liars, while others thought they were experts in the world of games. However, none of them could make decisions for Takesaburo.

Thinking of his mother who was bedridden at home, and of his father passing away when he was very young, relying on his mother to do rinsing work, and having grown up with sweat and tears, Takesaburo gradually made a decision in his heart.

"Sanlang thanked the Taoist Master for the talisman. The Taoist Master's kindness will be something that Sanlang will never forget!"

"If Jiaci can be cured, Sanlang will never frown even if the Taoist Master asks Sanlang to do anything!"

Wu Sanlang carefully took the talisman from Li Wenshu and kowtowed three times to the Taoist.

"You are friendly and a pure and filial child. You deserve this. Go quickly and don't waste time."

Li Wenshu stroked his two tufts of beard and said with a smile.

After hearing this, Wu Sanlang ignored his stall by the city gate and stumbled out in the direction of his home outside the city.

Seeing Wu Sanlang walking away, Li Wenshu opened the steamer with a smile, took out another steamed bun, held it in his hand, then turned around and shouted loudly to the people watching nearby.

"Come on, come on, Pindao invites everyone to eat steamed buns. Everyone who sees you will get a share, everyone who sees you will get a share!"

Immediately, everyone immediately put the question of Yang and Yang to the back of their minds, and crowded forward to get a piece of bun.

If you don't take advantage of it, you are a bastard!

After a while, the entire four cages of steamed buns were snatched up by onlookers.

Looking at the crowd who had taken advantage and gradually dispersed, Li Wenshu still looked cheerful.

"Obviously, my senior brother is recruiting a disciple, so why do you let me come out to be a good person? If Takesaburo wants to become my disciple, don't blame my senior brother for intervening."

Li Wenshu glanced at Taoist Hongyun who was eating steamed buns and joked with a smile.

"Junior brother already has Chunyang, a talented person, so how can he rob this cultivation seed with Pindao? I see that this person has a kind heart and is pure filial piety. Although he is ignorant, he is also a lucky person with Taoism.

Son, if you are good at carving, you may not be able to become something useful."

Taoist Hongyun glared at Li Wenshu, as if to warn him not to have a weak heart and swallow an elephant like a snake.

"Hahaha, I'm just afraid that my senior brother will try to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain."

Li Wenshu's expression changed, and a spiritual thought suddenly escaped and attached to a chaffinch flying by the sky.

The sparrow was stunned for a moment, then flapped its wings and carefully followed Takesaburo in the direction he went.

Taoist Hongyun thought that Li Wenshu was trying to trick him, so he worried about it and had a thought that possessed a wild dog, and hurriedly followed the scent and ran out of the city gate.



On the other side of the story, Wu Sanlang got Li Manjusri's talisman and was excited to go home and tell his mother the good news.

Unexpectedly, the way was blocked by a gust of wind halfway.

Wu Sanlang tightly covered the talisman attached to his chest, fearing that the talisman would be blown away by the strange wind.

When Yin Feng passed by, I opened my eyes again, and suddenly I felt that the scenery around me had changed. The dirt road that I could find in front of my house with my eyes closed suddenly became unfamiliar.

A shadowy figure appeared in front of me.

It turned out that two paper figures were holding down an old woman with an ashen face, and she was jumping towards him.

The woman seemed familiar from a distance, but Takesaburo couldn't remember where he had seen her.

Thinking of some folk anecdotes told by the storyteller, Takesaburo was so frightened that he immediately ran away, but by chance he overheard the discussion of the two paper figures.

"Where are we taking this Sun Cai family?"

One of them was holding a lantern, but he seemed to be a chatterbox and refused to stop talking for a moment.

"You didn't hear the Immortal's instructions. This man exchanged his life span for one hundred taels of gold. Now he must go to the house where he has accumulated a lot of kindness and exchange his life span for the good man's old lady who has been ill in bed for a long time."

"If you are delayed, watch your skin carefully!"

Another paper man holding shackles and whipping Sun Cai from time to time reminded him coldly.

"Hey, I know! Can I still delay the immortal's affairs?"

The talkative paper man nodded hurriedly and was about to continue talking when he suddenly saw Takesaburo walking towards them and seemed to be looking at them.

"I said, that person can see us from time to time?"

When Wu Sanlang heard this, he was so frightened that his back was soaked with cold sweat and he didn't even dare to take a breath.

"Really? Let me see?"

"If he could really see you and me, I wouldn't be able to let him go today."

Another paper man stopped in confusion, waited for Takesaburo to approach, and suddenly put his face in front of the dark man.

Takesaburo gritted his teeth to prevent himself from shouting in terror.

"Let me tell you, how can mortals see us and other shady people? It turns out that they are blind. Let's go, let's stop being curious!"

Seeing that Takesaburo didn't respond at all, the paper man looked away regretfully.

"Sounds like this, Mrs. Sun Cai is also in a miserable state. If someone with Yangshou shows mercy and asks the Immortal to take her life back, she might be able to be saved."

"Don't think about it. It's too late for others to applaud the villain's death. Who is willing to trade his extra life and life for you? Are you willing?"

"That's right..."

The two paper figures gradually walked away while chatting.

It wasn't until he was very far away that Takesaburo could no longer bear the panic in his heart and sat down on the ground.

As he got closer, he finally recognized the identity of the old woman. Isn't she the Sun Cai family who exchanged fellow Taoist Yang Shou for a hundred taels of gold?

What those two people said was actually true!

In other words, the talisman in my hand really has Sun Cai's twenty years of longevity, and my mother's illness has been cured.

Takesaburo's face suddenly showed a look of joy, and he wanted to go home immediately to tell his mother the good news.

But after walking a few steps, the swarthy man showed a confused look on his face again.
