Chapter 1 A Daoist

A Daoist in a black cloak and with short hair walked into the store.

The shop assistant was clearing away the plates and dishes left on the table by the previous travelers. When he saw the Daoist come in, his heart skipped a beat.

There were many fake Daoists in this world who swindled and cheated for money, but there were also true cultivators who traveled the mortal world, punishing evil and promoting good.

The restaurant was engaged in the sinister business of turning people into donkeys and swallowing their money. Naturally, the shop assistant had a guilty conscience and wanted to get rid of the Daoist as soon as possible.

He hurriedly put down the dishes, went up to him, and said with a flattering smile, "Daoist, are you going to Long County? Go north along this main road, take the first fork to the right, and you'll reach Long County in five or six li."

"Oh, thank you."

Li Ang nodded, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the restaurant. When he reached the threshold, he slapped his forehead and turned back, smiling at the shop assistant,

"I heard that the Third Mistress who runs this restaurant is kind and generous. When she encounters travelers without mounts, she always sells them donkeys and horses at a low price to help them.

I left in a hurry and didn't bring any horses.

I wonder if your shop can sell me one or two at a low price?"

The shop assistant couldn't help but curse in his heart. Most travelers outside have some sense of propriety. Even if they want to be helped, they will go around and make a euphemistic request.

How could there be a Daoist who asks the restaurant to sell horses at a low price as soon as they meet?

"This... I can't make the decision. Please wait here for a moment, Daoist. I'll go and invite the Third Mistress over..."

The shop assistant kindly asked Li Ang to wait at the entrance of the inn, and he trotted all the way to open the side hall curtain, whispering to the landlady.

Li Ang casually found a seat and looked at the yellowed wall of the inn, wondering if he should write a line of poetry on it like, "If I ever get revenge, I will dye Xunyang River with blood."

Soon, the Third Mistress came out of the side hall. She was wearing ordinary red cloth clothes, extremely plain, but it could clearly outline her beautiful figure.

Her haggard expression made her widowed charm even more pitiful.

The Third Mistress had kneaded dough all night and was quite sleepy from not sleeping, but she still cheered up and said with a smile, "Daoist wants to buy donkeys and horses?"

"Fu Sheng Wu Shang Tian Zun, that's right."

Li Ang nodded, "I am short on money now, and can't come up with much.

I wonder if the Third Mistress can promote the spirit of helping others and give them away for free?"

???

The shop assistant and the Third Mistress were both dumbfounded. It was the first time they had seen such a shameless monk.

If it were normal, the Third Mistress would have sneered and told the shop assistant to kick out this shameless Daoist,

But she had just used evil magic, and was sleepy, tired, and had empty mana. She really didn't dare to gamble that the other party was a fake Daoist who was swindling and cheating.

She had to take a deep breath, calm her mind, and said with a forced smile, "Daoist, what are you talking about? It's just donkeys and horses. Qian Liu, go to the front door and get one over here."

"Yes."

The shop assistant immediately understood what the Third Mistress meant. He ran out of the inn quickly,

Found a horse tied outside the inn by a traveler, searched it up and down, and confirmed that there was nothing left behind by the traveler that could prove his identity.

Only then did he lead the horse back to the entrance of the inn.

"Daoist, what do you think of this horse?"

"Hmm..."

Li Ang sat motionless in his seat, "The front, middle, and rear are equal, the limbs are of appropriate length, the muscles are firm and symmetrical, the spirit is full, and the hair is smooth. It's a good horse."

"Okay,"

The shop assistant nodded, just as he was about to lead the horse to eat some fodder, he heard Li Ang slowly say, "Unfortunately, it's just a good horse."

Li Ang sighed, looked at the Third Mistress, and said casually, "Before I entered Daoism, I was also a rich young master who liked to raise horses. There were countless BMWs in my family,

What Zu'an Steeds, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Celestia Rainbow Horse,

I'm afraid this kind of ordinary good horse won't catch my eye."

"..."

The Third Mistress resisted the urge to curse the other party as a shameless person, and squeezed out a smile, "This small place is remote and poor, making the Daoist laugh,

Why don't the Daoist ride this horse to Long County and then find a broker to buy a horse?"

"Third Mistress, what are you talking about,"

Li Ang shook his head and said, "Since I'm here, how can I go back empty-handed?

I heard that the Third Mistress's inn has a large number of livestock, and there are many kinds of donkeys and horses in the backyard, which are unique and have a good reputation.

Please take me to the backyard to take a look and pick one,

Based on my horse hunting experience, I can also help the Third Mistress distinguish the quality of the horses."

"As the Daoist wishes."

The Third Mistress smiled, "However, the backyard has not been cleaned today, and it is dirty and messy.

Why doesn't the Daoist eat some baked cakes and porridge first, and then go to pick a horse after the shop assistant has cleaned up the backyard?"

"The Third Mistress is still very considerate."

Li Ang gave a thumbs up, sat on the stool, and watched the Third Mistress come over,

Bending down very ambiguously in front of him, highlighting her figure, taking away the plate, and wiping the table with a rag,

Walking into the side hall with a twist of her waist, with a fragrance of powder all the way.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a shameless old woman, what's the point of showing off when you're about to lose your looks?"

Chai Da Xiaojie's rather disdainful voice sounded in Li Ang's body,

As a Chi Mei, she is eternally young and will never gain weight no matter how much she eats,

She can never change her body,

Her waist will not be thinner, her baby fat will not be reduced, and the flesh on the inside of her arms will not disappear.

Whenever she sees a woman who is "a little bit" better than her in TV or in reality, she will inexplicably get angry and curse the other person in circles.

Li Ang ignored the envious and jealous Chai Chai, and waited calmly for a while,

After a while, the Third Mistress came over with a plate of porridge and baked cakes and placed it in front of Li Ang,

"Daoist, please eat first, I'll go and see how the backyard is being cleaned up."

The Third Mistress smiled charmingly, and deliberately brushed the back of Li Ang's hand with her fingertips as she left, and slowly walked out of the inn.

"Ouch."

Chai Chai gagged falsely,

Li Ang didn't care and picked up the chopsticks.
