I don’t know how long it took, a heavy footsteps suddenly came from outside. If there was no previous incident, no one might have noticed it, but at this moment, I carefully identified it. The person who came was carrying a heavy object, and every step he fell, made a dull movement.

Soon, the footsteps passed behind the door and continued to move forward. But before the accountant breathed a sigh of relief, it turned back again, and then a knock on the door, "Mr. Accountant, it's me. I almost walked past when I was anxious just now."

The accountant widened his eyes. He was very familiar with the sound. It was the butler. He glanced at the old mage. The other party hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly. He hurriedly held his breath and did not dare to make any movement.

"Strange? It's obviously inside, Mr. Accountant, are you asleep? Wake up quickly, the master has something to ask you for trouble!" The housekeeper continued to knock on the door.

He might have been impatient when he received no response. The knock on the door suddenly became louder, "I know you are inside, why don't you speak? Open the door quickly! Account, account! You dare not ignore the master, you are so brave!"

The door was shot and the accountant was so scared that his face was deserted. The old mage's legs kept shaking and signaled him to speak, "Uh... is it the housekeeper? Sorry, I fell asleep just now."

There was a knock on the door, and the butler's voice came, "It's okay, get up quickly and open the door first."

"This... this... I'm already asleep. It's cold this night, otherwise I'll talk about it tomorrow?" The accountant's teeth were fighting, giggling.

The door suddenly became quiet, as if everything was just an illusion. The next moment, the butler's cold voice sounded, "Account, have you seen something? The gifts you received today are all for our grandparents and grandchildren. You hand them over to me? Open the door quickly! If you don't come out again, I will break in. Open the door, open the door quickly!"

The voice gradually became sharp, mixed with the roar of old and tenderness. It was the dead Mrs. Wang and the young master.

Bang—

Bang—

The butler slapped the door crazily, and the door latch was about to break. The old mage's hand kept ringing, and he shouted, "Account, take out the treasures in your arms, otherwise we all will die today!"

Baby? What baby?! The accountant with a frightened face turned like a dirt suddenly thought of something, and reached out to take out a piece of white paper, "No baby, I just have a piece of words written by a passing man..."

As he spoke, he spread the white paper, and I wonder if it was an illusion. When the word "An" appeared in front of me, a clear light seemed to burst out from it, instantly passing through the door and sank into the darkness.

"ah!"

A scream of pain came from outside the door, followed by the sound of staggering footsteps, as if something was running away in a hurry at this moment.

Finally calmed down, the accountant looked at the words in his hand, his eyes widened, "This... this... I saw it wrong just now..."

When he looked up, he saw the old master looking envious, "I have accumulated over the years and still have some wealth. I am willing to pay 100 taels of silver to buy your calligraphy, how about it?"

The accountant came to his senses and shook his head quickly, "Don't sell it, no matter how much it is! This is given to me by that gentleman, and I don't sell it for no matter how much."

"Well, the sir, I said I would give it to you?"

"Yes, said it myself!"

"Ah...this...then forget it...you're so lucky to keep this book in the future. You must keep this letter to the family and settle the house." The old master sighed regretfully, but did not dare to have any thoughts.

The accountant said repeatedly: "Yes, when I get home, I will find the best master, frame it and hang it at home." He hesitated, "Master, is it okay?"

The old mage nodded, "It's okay, but just in case, we'll wait until dawn, let's go out again."

...

The wonton stall, which had been busy for a day, finally finished work, put up the tables, chairs and benches, and the stall owner pushed the cart to the house.

Hei Ya jumped out of the car, "Dad, I'll help you push the cart."

"No, Dad is so energetic. You can go up and sit down quickly. It's getting late, so we have to rush home early."

"Oh, okay, dad, if you are tired, tell me." Hei Ya was a little reluctant and climbed into the car again.

The stall owner smiled happily, "My daughter is filial. When you grow up, you will help your father."

The father and daughter left the city gate and walked along the avenue for about half an hour. When the sun dyed red with sunset, they returned to the village smoothly.

"Heiya, before it gets dark, Dad, go buy the meat and ingredients for tomorrow first. Are you doing well at home? Did you hear that?"

"I know dad."

When the footsteps outside the door were gone, Hei Ya stood at the door, looked at the river not far away, and muttered, "Is what the sir said true? A big snake was struck by lightning, and a black bead fell down?"

She hesitated for a moment, "It's still early, my father goes to Uncle Wang's house to buy meat, and then goes to Aunt Li's house to pick up vegetables. It will take a while before I can come back. I'll take a look and I'll be back soon, but my father definitely doesn't know."

Close the door, Hei Ya rushed straight to Xiaoliuhe with her short legs.

Soon, the sound of water flowing came to her ears, and she came to the riverside. The river beach was densely packed with countless pebbles. The rippling waves reflected the sunset in the sky, dyeing the little girl's face red, making the elusive red spot between her eyebrows less obvious.

"Where is the black pebbles...?... I can't find them... Oh..." Heiya's feet were unstable and squatted in a puddle on the river beach. Looking at her wet skirt, she wanted to cry as soon as she slapped her mouth, thinking that the husband was too bad, and she actually coaxed the child to play with him and never let him go again.

Holding the ground with his hand and was about to stand up, she suddenly felt something round. When she picked it up, she saw that it was a black pebbles. The sunlight passed through the sunset and fell on the pebbles. She seemed to see layers of scales, and a big snake was hiding inside, trembling.

"Ah! There is really a big snake struck by lightning... The gentleman didn't lie to me... This pebbles are so beautiful... Hehe..." Hei Ya wiped the corners of her eyes, not caring about her butt that was hurt by being thrown. She grabbed the pebbles tightly and turned around and ran to the house, "Dad! Dad! Look, I found the pebbles that the gentleman told me..."

After buying meat and vegetables, Zhao Shengmin, who was in a hurry to see his daughter disappear. Hearing his daughter's cheers, he hurried over, "Hei Ya! Didn't my father tell you that you should not go to the river when it's dark, why are you disobedient and you have wet your clothes... Alas, the pebbles are pretty, they are actually black, but no matter how beautiful they are, you can't go. Did you hear Hei Ya?"

"I know, Dad, you're so verbose."

By the river, on a raised stone, a small blue crab stared blankly at the father and daughter who were leaving, and one foot rolled down. It came to its senses, turned over neatly, and its claws under its abdomen were scratching, and rushed into the river in one breath.

The next moment, a shadow appeared. The crab that had been flooded into the water became as big as a millstone and even said, "Empress, I'm not good, the dragon ball you are looking for was picked up by a little girl!"

In the middle of the river, among the water plants, there was a woman wearing a skirt and a golden hairpin on her head, and an old turtle was following her. At this moment, the big crab shouted and rushed towards her. The woman with golden hairpin couldn't help but kick it over to the bottom of the river. "I saw it, no need to say more. If the voice is louder, maybe it will attract the Black Dragon King... Say, are you a spy?!"

The big green crab like a millstone, with two clamps powerful and can be cut off in one go. The woman's slender waist is now being stepped on by her feet, but she dared not move at all. She was so scared that tears flowed out, "I'm not a spy, I'm really not a spy, please spare my life!"

It turned out that this woman was the famous Golden Scale Empress in the Little River. She was originally a golden carp, but accidentally swallowed a water spirit bead, so she opened her mind and practiced silently for hundreds of years before she finally became a human body.

Previously, the Zhang family's big ship gave them a dream, just to erect the River God Temple and practice with incense on earth.

Everything went well, but unexpectedly, in the Qilian River upstream of Xiaoliu River, a black snake spirit suddenly came, calling himself the Black Dragon King, and was stronger than her. She suffered a great loss when she fought head-on. The Golden Scale Queen could only hide in Tibet with her general Crab and Prime Minister Turtle.

The dragon ball I was looking for this time was an inner elixir that had fallen down after being struck by heavenly thunder. But after finally finding it, the inner elixir was very fierce, with a trace of dragon breath hidden inside. The Golden Scale Queen tried every means but couldn't take it away.

But today, a mortal child actually took away the dragon's inner pill, which made the Golden Scale Queen very depressed.

"Prime Minister Turtle, aren't you saying that the dragon's inner elixir contains a trace of dragon energy, and already has the innate spirit, and will choose your own master? I'm also asking me to wait here to influence the Dragon Ball. How can a mortal child pick it up?" The Golden Scale glared, "Can you be a spy?"

The old turtle man stood up, stood among the mud and sand at the bottom of the river, and smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Empress, if you are a spy, how could you stay here safely? A mortal child has been recognized by the dragon energy... This... I can't figure it out..."

Queen Jinlin gritted her teeth, "No, I must get this dragon ball, otherwise I will definitely be eaten by the Black Dragon King next time!" She looked up and looked at the father and daughter, "Tonight, you will follow me to the ashore and steal the dragon ball back while the night is deep!"

"No!" Prime Minister Turtle was shocked and said hurriedly: "Empress, what I said is absolutely false. If the dragon ball has its own spirit, it will recognize that little girl. Unless she takes the initiative to send it, no one can get the dragon ball, and will even be retaliated by the dragon energy. Empress must not be impulsive!"

The Golden Scaled Empress became less courageous and gritted her teeth, "Then... Then I will wait for tomorrow, and I will go ashore to find her. At all costs, I will also get the Dragon Ball back!"

"You can't rob, you can't cheat. It's better to buy it. A little girl has no knowledge. I have an old clam pearl, which is priceless in the world. If the Empress can't handle that little girl, she may start with the adults."

Empress Jinlin thrust her chest, "Don't worry, I will definitely be foolproof!"

...

It was dark and outside the City God Temple, Wang Dali had been wandering around for a long time. He had been here all day. But every time he wanted to go in, he looked up at the temple gate, and he was scared from the bottom of his heart.

The City God is a true god and has great magic power. Although he worshipped the Black Dragon King, he did not think it was an opponent of the City God.

‘The king ordered me to go into the city and find a special stone near the City God Temple, but I have been walking around all day and haven’t seen anything… But when I asked me to go in and look for it, I really don’t dare…’

Wang Dali gritted his teeth, "Forget it, I said I went in and looked around, but I didn't find anything. The Black Dragon King didn't dare to enter the city, and I didn't know whether what I said was true or false."

"I can get a job in this way and don't have to take risks. I'm so smart!"

Wang Dali showed joy on his face and turned around and left in a hurry.

Luo Guan stood in the corner, his figure was covered by the night. Looking at Wang Dali who was walking away quickly, he frowned slightly and then returned to peace.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Soon, the temple gate opened from inside, and a disciple of the temple prayed quickly saluted, "Greetings, sir, you are back."

"Yes." Luo Guan nodded and stepped in, "Sorry, I'm disturbing you to rest."

"Ah... it's okay, sir, don't be polite." The disciple waved his hand quickly, feeling that the gentleman in front of him was so polite that he couldn't help but admire him.

Temple blessings came in a hurry, with a happy face, "Sir, finally, the vegetarian food is still hot. Do you want to eat some?"

Luo Guan shook his head, "I've eaten outside, it's not too early, I wish you a place early, so I don't have to wait for me."

"That...is okay, that gentleman will take a break early, so we won't disturb you."

Seeing Miaozhu leaving with his disciples, Luo Guan thought for a while, maybe he should leave here, otherwise Miaozhu and others would be uneasy.

When he returned to the room, he fiddled with the chess game for a while. After reading a chess book, Luo Guan blew out the oil lamp and fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning, the temple sent a sumptuous breakfast. Although it was all vegetarian, it tasted very good. It must have been a big price to find someone to make it from outside.

This made Luo Guan more sure that he wanted to leave as soon as possible, but first he had to find a place to stay in the city.

While turning his mind, Luo Guan thanked him and continued to learn chess after breakfast. The more he studied, the more he felt that the way of Go was, although it was a mortal object, was profound and profound, and contained infinite wonderful numbers.

I made tea, played chess, and occasionally walked a few more steps, and before I knew it, it was almost noon.

Temple Zhu came over quickly and said that something had happened to the Wang family and wanted to invite him to come over. He looked carefully as he spoke.

Luo Guan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you'll be there."

The temple prayed to the heart and respectfully called it, and then followed the person who came to invite him to go straight to the Wang family.
