Chapter 349 Gamblers
However, everyone couldn't laugh at the scene. They all looked at the Taoist priest who showed his power and taught the villain a lesson in awe.
Most of them are just bullying ordinary people. For example, this Taoist priest, as long as he is not blind, he can see that his strong abilities are not ordinary people. Naturally, they are the ones they dare not provoke. They may only swallow the troubles caused by these three idiots.
After a while, the three strong men barely stood up and never dared to continue provoking Du Bai and the Taoist priest. They planned to slip away in shame. Before they left the house, the Taoist priest slowly shouted behind him: "Don't forget the money for the wine!"
The three of them were stunned, and then they could only lose some money on the counter with bitter face, and then they accelerated their speed and slipped away.
Seeing this scene, Du Bai walked to the Taoist priest standing with a sword in his arms and thanked him: "Thank you for your help!"
“No need to be polite.”
The Taoist priest raised his head slightly and said calmly, "It is indeed a bit like a paranormal person: "It is natural for us to draw our swords to help us when we see injustice. But you should be more careful in the future. If the three of you were not stopped by the Tao, you might be able to capture you and sell you as a slave."
He obviously had seen all the previous scenes. Seeing Du Bai's silly look about to be fooled, he chose to take action after he couldn't bear it, so he said this.
"Thank you for your reminder, I don't know what the prince calls me?" Du Bai did not refute.
"I'm the name Han, just call me Taoist Master Han." The Taoist priest thought for a while and replied.
"Master Han, in order to thank you for your great kindness just now, why don't you invite you to have a drink? Let's sit down and chat together?" Du Bai felt that this person was also a wonderful person. Maybe there were some clues, so he advised, "It happened that he was here for the first time and didn't understand many ways. Please give me some advice."
“It doesn’t have to.”
Taoist Han refused, but said, "Actually, I received a letter from my sister and just arrived here. If I don't know much about this place, I was just aware of it because I had traveled a lot and saw a lot of people and things. Later, I went to my sister's residence and did not stay here."
"So that's it, then I can't disturb you." Du Bai felt a little regretful. It seemed that he had to find another target.
But he wouldn't blame the other party for disturbing him, after all, the other party was also out of kindness.
Taoist Han was about to go out, but suddenly stopped, touched his pocket, then turned his head and looked at Du Bai behind him, and asked with a slightly embarrassed look: "That... do you have silver on you?"
"Hmm?" Du Bai was stunned, feeling a little funny, but he didn't laugh to avoid embarrassing him. He just nodded, "There is indeed some silver..."
...
"... Actually, when my sister wrote, I was just looking for Tao outside and was not willing to go down the mountain. But my sister cried and told me that her incompetent husband was too much. She almost lost all the property in her family. She cried and mentioned her deceased parents, so I had to go down the mountain this time..."
On a remote rural road, Du Bai seemed to be a little pleased with him, and Taoist Han took the initiative to explain his purpose of coming here.
In his explanation, Du Bai also understood the whole story.
It was probably a few years ago that his sister got married here. I thought that although the husband was not from a wealthy family, he was a hardworking and kind-hearted man. They could live a good life even if they worked together.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected situation in the world. Her husband was deceived by a traitor and became addicted to gambling. He ruined his family's wealth in just half a year. If this continues, it may not take long before even the house will be mortgaged!
In fact, if she hadn't been alert and would have sleeped tightly with the house deed tightly every night, she would probably have no place to stay!
It was because she was worried that such a terrible thing would happen that she thought of her younger brother who was said to have been seeking immortality since childhood and wrote a letter for help, asking him to come back to help her husband change his mind, and don't be obsessed with it anymore.
Taoist Han, who was still thinking about family affection, could not completely let go of his sister's only relatives in the world, so he had to say goodbye to his master and rush down the mountain.
When Taoist Han asked about Du Bai's origin, Du Bai did not hide other things, including that he was the son-in-law of a wealthy businessman's family, but just said that his purpose was to come here to do business.
As a person who seeks immortals and practices Taoism, Taoist Han naturally doesn't care much about the so-called son-in-law who cares very much about the mortal world. Instead, he likes his conversation very much. He talks and laughs on the road, and they become good friends in a short time.
After walking for a while, I saw a slightly dilapidated house ahead, which seemed to have not been repaired for a long time. This is the house where Taoist Han’s sister lives.
After he stepped forward and knocked on the door, there was a burst of footsteps in the room. Then the door slowly opened a crack. When the woman in the room saw clearly the person coming outside, she was immediately delighted and opened the door completely, hugging her younger brother who had not met for a long time.
Du Bai took this opportunity to take a brief look at the dress here.
Looking inside through the opened door, you can see that the room is a little messy, as if someone had just rummaged through the boxes and cabinets not long ago, and it seems that it is in a very troublesome state.
As for the woman, she looks ordinary and dresses like an ordinary peasant woman. She has no trace of possession by evil demons, so she doesn't need to pay attention.
After the joy of reunion after a long time, the woman remembered to welcome the two into the house. However, when she was about to pour tea, she remembered something and said with shame: "I'm really sorry. The things that can be sold in the house were sold by my husband. Now I can't even bring out the tea for entertaining guests..."
Taoist Han couldn't help frowning when he heard this. He had a deep understanding of his sister's situation. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and asked, "Sister, where has my brother-in-law gone now?"
"He should have gone to the temple to bet on money again! Alas, he just doesn't believe in evil, and insists on winning back all the money in the next hand. The more he bet, he is getting bigger and bigger. Not only did he not make money back, but he lost all of them! If he continues like this, I'm afraid this house... will be sold sooner or later!"
As he said that, my sister covered her face and started crying again, as if she was very sad.
"Sister, don't worry, when my brother-in-law comes back, I will teach him a lesson and let him reflect on it!"
Taoist Han was obviously a little angry. He wanted to beat such an incompetent brother-in-law to make him turn his back on his evil spirits!
Hearing this, my sister was also a little embarrassed and couldn't help but whisper: "It's just my brother, I heard that you have learned arts from an expert and have learned a lot of immortal arts. I wonder if you can not hit my husband, so that he can wake up and come back to live a good life?"
