Chapter 5, The Pretend Blind Man
The reason he chose to drive himself to Xiaoputuo is that he did not know what was inside the safe that Lu Jun had given him
However, Xiao Wenbing's mood gradually sank, as he did not wait for anyone.
Xiao Wenbing murmured to himself that there was something strange about Lu Jun, but unfortunately, he did not scan the piece of paper; otherwise, it could have been reproduced for further study in the future
"Spirit talisman?" Xiao Wenbing exclaimed in surprise, and then immediately understood; he was referring to the item he had just burned.
In a state of bewilderment, Xiao Wenbing's gaze was fixed on the flying ashes that danced gracefully in the air
From Ningbo, he casually found a hotel near Dongqian Lake. After parking the car and finishing his meal, he found a small boat that took him to Xiaoputuo.
The blind man scrutinized Xiao Wenbing carefully, and his expression suddenly changed to one of surprise, no longer resembling that of a cold, lifeless face
A cold sweat instantly broke out on his back; who is this person that could silently approach him from behind without him noticing at all
With a faint smile, Xiao Wenbing said to the book, where do so many blind people come from, and who among them is truly blind
This sentence should be Laozi asking you, right? Xiao Wenbing thought to himself, but of course, he did not dare to say it so directly.
At this moment, he was all smiles, a stark contrast to the distant attitude he had when we first met
He seemed to sense a strange fluctuation passing through the space, a fluctuation that was remarkably similar to his own extraordinary abilities
Certainly, he concealed the fact that he possessed extraordinary abilities, and as for the timeline, it was even more vague. He merely glossed over why he took ten days to set out and what he did during that time, leaving no trace.
Uncertain of the material from which this piece of paper was made, the flame of the lighter gently touched it and immediately ignited. In the blink of an eye, it had already burned to the top. Xiao Wenbing was startled and quickly released his grip
"Playing tricks and conjuring spirits." Xiao Wenbing muttered under his breath, yet his mood remained tense. If no one came to find him, would that not mean these items could not be delivered to their destination
If it turns out to be a prohibited item and one gets caught, that would truly be an injustice
"No sect?" There seemed to be a hint of surprise in the words, and the fake blind man immediately appeared much more courteous: "Little brother, why is my senior brother's talisman in your hands?"
Xiao Wenbing did not hesitate at all and recounted in detail how he encountered Lu Jun
"Sect? It seems there isn't one." The corners of Xiao Wenbing's mouth twitched slightly; he himself was unsure of his current feelings. A sect, such an ancient term, probably only appears on television.
Who are you
However, the blind man paid no attention to his actions at all, merely asking coldly: "How do you have the talisman of the senior brother?"
However, it is strange that the business here seems to be quite good. At least from what Xiao Wenbing observed, there are one or two people in front of each stall.
However, his movements came to an abrupt halt, and his gaze was fixed on the ground. At that moment, there were actually two pairs of feet on the ground belonging to hetushu.com .com
Turning around suddenly, Xiao Wenbing finally saw the person's face clearly
It seems that his task has been completed. Xiao Wenbing let out a sigh of relief, truly experiencing a sense of liberation.
After a considerable period, the ashes have dispersed.
Moreover, it is impossible to bring this item onto an airplane, and even taking it on a train poses certain risks. If an accident were to occur, it would be akin to joking with one's own life.
His skills are merely passable, but he excels in energy. Although the journey on the highway is tiring and somewhat lonely, after several days of travel, he finally arrived in Ningbo
I am Xiao Wenbing, hello. He politely extended his hand and spoke to him with his most friendly smile
Which sect are you a disciple of
Because this person also gave him a very dangerous feeling, a feeling akin to encountering Lu Jun, Xiao Wenbing immediately realized that they were of the same kind.
Enter the mountain gate
Call ... ...
The speed of combustion is extremely rapid; in just an instant, the paper and illustrations have turned into a pile of ashes, which the mountain breeze gently disperses far away.
He carefully took out the dark yellow paper given by Lu Jun from his bosom; this piece of paper was adorned with some peculiar and bizarre patterns, much like Lu Jun himself, exuding an air of mystery
He strolled down, walking further and further, gradually arriving in the mountains. Turning his head to look back, he found that there was no one around anymore
Indeed, I believe that once I meet my master, everything will have a definite conclusion. However, Brother Xiao, I assure you that you will definitely not miss out on your benefits
The blind man nodded repeatedly, and by the end, he had completely convinced himself of Xiao Wenbing's words
Having said that, he pressed the accelerator, and the car immediately roared away
Xiao Wenbing routinely made a circuit, passing through caves, visiting temples, and riding horses. However, he was unable to find any place that stood out.
Therefore, driving oneself is the safest and most reliable choice
Brother Xiao, since it is the senior master who has sent you to deliver the message, I cannot make the decision on my own. Would you please accompany me into the mountain gate for a visit?
Although it is not the peak tourist season now, there are still quite a few visitors and book lovers on Xiaoputuo Island, with many foreigners sporting high noses and blue eyes pointing and commenting, seemingly quite satisfied
If Lu Jun insists on taking his own life without reason, what should be done then
Hey... hello. With a forced smile, Xiao Wenbing greeted him.
He was a fortune-telling sorcerer, and his attire was no different from that of the genuine and false blind individuals encountered earlier
What caught his eye the most were the fortune-telling stalls set up behind the park
In front of each stall, there is a sign, adorned with a variety of advertisements that are both fanciful and enigmatic. However, most of the stalls clearly state that they offer fortune-telling for the blind.
He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and ignited the paper with the flame of the lighter
With a bitter smile, although he was filled with reluctance, since he had already spoken, did Xiao Wenbing still have any room to oppose?
He stood up, looked east and west, yet still saw nothing.
The face of the blind man is not pleasant; he wears a cold expression, devoid of any smile
His mouth twitched twice as he lowered his head
Goodness, what is this thing
