Chapter 155 Going back on one's word
"Uncle Wang, I came here for a small matter!"
Luo Taiqing said something perfunctorily, then walked forward briskly, grabbed a handful of rice from the straw mat, and said with a complicated expression:
"What I'm most curious about right now is that at this time of year, most people are still raising rice seedlings, not to mention harvesting. Uncle Wang, where on earth did you get this rice from?"
He came to Wang's house, actually to return the gift he had given to Wang Ping'an not long ago. It's not that he was stingy, he would always return the gifts he gave away, but that the gift was too precious.
Although they didn't know where the bead came from, his ancestors had tried every possible means but had failed to find out the specific origin of the bead.
Apart from being strong, nothing is known.
But he knew that if he wore it, it would be of great benefit to his body.
He has been wearing that bead since he was born. Not only has he never been sick, but his body is also exceptionally healthy. He knows that it is the benefit brought by the bead.
No disease or disaster, live a long life!
Ever since the bead was given to Wang Ping'an as a gift, he has been suffering from back pain, which has never happened before. It is obvious that there is a difference between having the bead and not having it.
of course.
This was not the real reason why he had the audacity to come to Wang's house and ask for the beads back. What made him make up his mind was that Luo Liang found him not long ago.
Let him give up what he once said!
He asked the question once first, but Luo Liang was unwilling to answer. After his continuous questioning, Luo Liang had to answer and said that Luo Quan had made a mistake.
Wang Ping'an is just an ordinary child, nothing special about him.
The matter of accepting disciples would naturally be cancelled.
Wang Lin pretended to be confused and said, "Master Luo, let alone you, even I was shocked when I saw this bag of rice. I found it on our dining table. I don't even know where this rice came from!"
He naturally knew that this rice was most likely sent by Luo Quan. At this time, except for someone with extraordinary abilities like Luo Quan, it would be almost difficult for others to harvest the rice at this time.
It’s not even the season for rice to ripen yet!
"The rice was found in your house. You don't know where it came from?"
Luo Taiqing's expression suddenly became extremely strange, and he couldn't help but want to complain, but looking at Wang Lin's expression, it was obvious that he was playing dumb with him.
He was too lazy to say anything more, but carefully examined the handful of rice in his hand.
As soon as he took the first look, he noticed something unusual about this handful of rice.
Suddenly, Luo Taiqing widened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed, "How is it possible?"
"What's wrong, Mr. Luo? Is there something wrong with the rice that appeared inexplicably in our house?"
Wang Lin said in surprise.
“This rice…”
Luo Taiqing was about to speak, but before he could finish his words, he heard a curious voice coming from not far away.
"Master Luo, why are you here?"
Luo Taiqing turned his head and saw two people walking in from outside. They were Zhang Guihua and Taoist Xuanqing. Taoist Xuanqing lived near Hutougou.
He had never dealt with him much, but he knew that Taoist Xuanqing was a man of real ability in Qingyang County.
We've met a few times!
Luo Taiqing frowned and said, "Master Xuanqing, why are you here?"
"Of course I was invited by Sister Zhang. I also want to ask you what business Master Luo has in coming to the Wang family!"
Taoist Xuanqing said casually, and saw the rice on the straw mat beside Wang Lin. His eyes fixed and he exclaimed: "Brother Wang, quickly collect this rice!"
Wang Lin looked at Taoist Xuanqing in surprise. He didn't expect that everyone was making a fuss about the rice, as if there was something wrong with it.
However, on second thought, it is not yet the rice harvest season, and their family will suddenly have an extra crop of rice to harvest. It would be strange if there is no problem.
just.
He was very curious about what was wrong with the rice that made Taoist Xuanqing and Luo Taiqing make such a fuss.
You have to know that they are not ordinary people, and the things that can make them fuss are definitely not ordinary things.
Wang Lin asked curiously: "Master, is there anything wrong with this rice?"
"This one……"
Taoist Xuanqing opened his mouth to say something, but he saw Luo Taiqing beside him out of the corner of his eye and swallowed the words back.
Luo Taiqing snorted in dissatisfaction: "Master Xuanqing, isn't it just spiritual rice? It's not like I haven't eaten it before, there's no need to hide it, right?"
"I think you, Mr. Luo, understand the principle better than I do that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure!"
Taoist Xuanqing explained casually. Seeing the confusion on Wang Lin and Zhang Guihua's faces, they obviously didn't understand what "spiritual rice" meant. He explained: "Brother Wang, Sister Zhang, this spiritual wood is..."
After a long time, as Taoist Xuan Qing explained, Wang Lin roughly understood what the spiritual rice was. His face and eyes were filled with horror, and he repeated with a trembling voice:
"Master, do you mean that if I eat this rice, I will be free from disease and disaster and live a long life?"
Taoist Xuanqing nodded.
Luo Taiqing couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle Wang, have you ever considered selling this spiritual rice? As long as you are willing to sell it, the price is negotiable. I guarantee that you won't be disappointed!"
"Master Luo, I'm sorry, but we don't sell this magical rice. After a while, my baby will stop breastfeeding, and we can eat porridge!"
Wang Lin seemed to have thought of something, his face full of anticipation, and said: "I plan to save these spiritual rice for our family to eat peacefully!"
Taoist Xuanqing said with a smile: "Brother Wang, I think you adults should eat this magical rice. Ping An doesn't need to eat it. Given Ping An's situation, he can live a long life without any disease or disaster even if he doesn't eat the magical rice!"
Luo Taiqing asked curiously, "Master, what do you mean?"
Taoist Xuanqing smiled but said nothing.
Luo Taiqing was not angry, and changed the subject: "Master Xuanqing, this spiritual rice can only come from your Taoist family. You didn't give it to the Wang family, did you? If you have any extra, could you sell some to me?"
"Although I grow magical rice, I don't grow much, just enough for me to feed myself!"
Taoist Priest Xuanqing shook his head. Seeing Luo Taiqing opening his mouth and wanting to say something, he spoke first, "Besides, this spiritual rice is the first time I've seen it. It's not something I gave to Brother Wang!"
Luo Taiqing questioned: "Master Xuanqing, who else could have sent it if it wasn't you?"
"It was indeed sent by that Lord Luo!"
Wang Lin spoke subconsciously.
He believed what Taoist Priest Xuanqing said. This magical rice would not be given by Taoist Priest Xuanqing. It was not that Taoist Priest Xuanqing was stingy, but that Taoist Priest Xuanqing did not do things in secret.
Luo Taiqing asked in surprise, "Lord Luo? Which Lord Luo is this?"
Taoist Xuanqing joked: "Who else could it be, Lord Luo? It must be your brother!"
"Master Xuanqing, are you talking about Luo Xianguan?"
Luo Taiqing was surprised.
He did not forget that Luo Liang found him not long ago and asked him to give up "seducing" Wang Ping'an.
Taoist Xuanqing shook his head. Just when Luo Taiqing breathed a sigh of relief, Taoist Xuanqing spoke again: "It's not the one from your Luo family who is an immortal official, but the one from your Luo family who is in the Demon Suppression Division."
