The fairy love story between Bi Yao and Li Yuan after traveling through time

Just as the maze was emerging, another scam occurred

Bi Yao wandered around in the maze for a long time, feeling even more exhausted than squeezing into the subway on Monday morning.

This maze is like a nesting doll, with one layer inside another, endlessly.

She tried circling left three times and right three times, and also tried running around in all directions. She even used the "Qi Men Dun Jia" feng shui layout knowledge she learned from a Taobao live broadcast room, but to no avail.

"Whose wicked bastard designed this broken formation? Can't they make a user-friendly version?" Although Bi Yao complained, he didn't stop his hands.

After all, she is a new-age woman of the 21st century. How can such a small difficulty stump her?

joke!

She used the tenacity she had honed in the company to unravel the mystery and analyze the patterns of the maze. Finally, as the sun was about to set, she found a clue.

"Great!" Bi Yao's eyes lit up, and she followed this path, taking two steps at a time, and rushed out of the maze.

The feeling of seeing the light of day again is even better than grabbing the last free meal spot on Double Eleven!

After walking out of the maze, Bi Yao found himself in a bustling market.

The quaint buildings, the dazzling array of goods, and the pedestrians coming and going in ancient costumes made her feel like she had traveled to the set of a costume drama.

"Cultivate immortals, cultivate immortals..." Bi Yao muttered to himself, his eyes scanning the surroundings like a radar, trying to find some clues.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she saw an old man in Taoist robes, with an immortal look, setting up a fortune-telling stall not far away.

There were a lot of people gathered around, all listening with fascination, and some of them kept stuffing silver into the old man's hands.

"Could this be the legendary immortal master?" Bi Yao was excited and squeezed over quickly.

"Master," Bi Yao bowed respectfully, "Excuse me..."

Before she could finish, the "Taoist priest" looked her up and down, stroked his beard, and said mysteriously: "Miss, I see that your forehead is black, I am afraid there will be a bloody disaster!"

Bi Yao secretly complained in his heart: This old man, his routine is too old-fashioned!

It was even more perfunctory than the leadership speeches at the company's annual meeting.

However, Bi Yao pretended to be panicked and asked, "Then...what should we do?"

"Master" Wang Er chuckled and said, "Don't panic. I have a 'talisman' here that can keep you safe." As he spoke, he took out an ordinary-looking wooden sign from his arms.

"This..." Bi Yao pretended to be hesitant.

"Girl, this is made of thousand-year-old peach wood, and there are spells on it that I personally blessed. It is worth a thousand gold!" Wang Er said with saliva flying, as if this wooden sign was a rare treasure.

Bi Yao sneered in her heart: Thousand-year-old peach wood?

I’m afraid it’s not a branch picked up from the roadside!

It’s a spell, I think it’s a trick!

At this moment, Wang Er suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Girl, I see that you have extraordinary bones and are a good seedling for cultivating immortality..."

Bi Yao pretended to be surprised: "Really? Taoist priest, can you teach me how to cultivate immortality?"

Wang Er looked Bi Yao up and down, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes… Wang Er rubbed his hands together and said in an unfathomable manner, "The path to immortality is extremely difficult and requires talent, but even more so… financial resources." He paused, then gave Bi Yao a meaningful look. "Miss, I see you and I are destined to be together, so I'll make an exception today and teach you a few things. However, the elixirs and magical instruments required for immortality cultivation are all very valuable…"

Bi Yao sneered in his heart: Here it comes, the fox tail is finally exposed!

This routine is similar to that of live streaming sales. First, they paint a rosy picture and then cut the leeks.

However, Bi Yao pretended to be innocent and naive on the surface, looking at Wang Er with admiration: "Master, I am willing to pay any price, just to embark on the path of immortal cultivation!"

When Wang Er heard this, his eyes lit up, like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb.

He talked incessantly about the benefits of cultivating immortality, such as immortality, flying in the sky and hiding in the earth, and being omnipotent. Bi Yao almost laughed out loud when he heard it.

It would be a waste of talent for this old man not to go into sales.

In the end, Bi Yao "bitterly" took out the only few taels of silver she had on her body in exchange for Wang Er's so-called "secret book of cultivating immortals" and a "magic pill".

Watching Bi Yao's receding figure, Wang Er proudly counted the silver in his hand, his heart bursting with joy: "Another fool, haha!"

Bi Yao held the tattered "secret book" and the black "magic pill" in his hands, feeling mixed emotions.

I met this kind of charlatan on the first day of my journey. I am so unlucky!

My stomach is growling with hunger, I have no money and no relatives. How can this be?

She found a secluded corner and angrily took a bite of the "magic pill". A strange smell instantly spread out, which was very similar to the marshmallows she had eaten as a child...?

"This..." Bi Yao stared at the "magic pill" in her hand with wide eyes. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice behind her, "Girl, I see you have amazing bones..."

Wang Er appeared behind her again at some point, with a disgusting smile on his face.

Bi Yao almost spit out a mouthful of marshmallows.

My goodness, this old man is just doing this in an endless loop?

Do you really think she is an ATM?

She took a deep breath, and the marshmallow-flavored "elixir" swirled around her tongue, with a strange sweetness.

calm down!

Bi Yao, you are a woman who has seen many storms. How can a mere swindler really cause you to capsize?

She blinked her eyes, revealing an expression more innocent than a little white rabbit. "Master, you're here again? Could it be that you saw that I have a destiny with immortals and came to take me in as your disciple?"

When Wang Er heard this, he was immediately delighted.

This little girl looks silly, but unexpectedly she is quite smart!

"You are a teachable child! I think you are destined to be with me. How about..."

Before Wang Er could finish, Bi Yao took the lead and pointed at the "immortal pill" and said, "Master Immortal, why does this immortal pill taste the same as the sugar balls sold at the market?" She deliberately raised her voice to attract the attention of the people around her.

Upon hearing this, several passers-by stopped and looked over here curiously.

Wang Er's face froze and he cursed in his heart: This girl is not simple!

Seeing the crowd growing, Bi Yao continued to escalate the performance: "Master, why does this secret book of yours feel like it was found at some used bookstall? This paper, this ink, it doesn't look like it belongs to an immortal family at all."

The crowd began to whisper, and someone pointed at Wang Er and said, "Yeah, I've seen this old man before. He often hangs around here, claiming he can tell fortunes. I think he's probably a liar!"

Wang Er panicked. He didn't expect that this little girl, who looked so weak, could be so difficult to deal with.

He pretended to be calm and said, "What do you know! This is an ancient secret book, naturally different from the things of this world!"

"Oh? An ancient secret book?" Bi Yao raised her eyebrows. "Then may I ask, Immortal, what words are written on this secret book? Why can't I understand a single word?" She deliberately pointed to some unclear handwriting on the "secret book" and asked the people around her to look at it as well.

"This... this is immortal writing! Mortals naturally can't understand it!" Wang Er's voice became smaller and smaller, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.

Bi Yao sneered, took out a small stone from his sleeve, and scratched the "secret book" with force. With a "swish" sound, the so-called "ancient secret book" was easily scratched!

"Master, your ancient secret book is quite... fragile." Bi Yao looked at Wang Er with a half-smile, a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"Now, what else do you want to say?"

Wang Er's face had turned the color of liver. He knew that he was in trouble today.

He glared at Bi Yao fiercely, turned around and tried to slip away.

"Stop!" Bi Yao shouted softly, and the people around him gathered around and blocked Wang Er's way.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" Bi Yao sneered, "Give me back my money!"

Wang Er was surrounded by the crowd, like a turtle in a jar, unable to escape.

His eyes rolled around, thinking of a way to escape.

Unfortunately, I hit a wall today.

This little girl Bi Yao looks harmless, but she is actually a person who is pretending to be a pig but is actually a tiger.

"My fellow villagers, I know I was wrong! I will return the money to this girl right away!" Wang Er had a sad face, and tremblingly took out Bi Yao's silver from his pocket and presented it with both hands.

Bi Yao took the silver, weighed it, and curled her lips: "You're sensible! If you dare to cheat again next time, I'll make you pay for it!" She called "Aunt" with full momentum, and the people around her couldn't help but applaud.

Wang Er ran away in disgrace, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

Bi Yao looked at the silver in his hand and sighed.

Although the money is not much, it is her first pot of gold in this world.

"Alas, the road to becoming an immortal is really long and difficult!" She looked up at the sky, secretly thinking about her next plan.

Although the scammer has been dealt with, I still have to continue looking for the way to become an immortal!

We can’t always rely on the “magic pills” of Maltesers to survive, right?

Suddenly, a clear voice rang in her ears: "Girl, I see that you have a unique bone structure and are a good material for cultivating immortality!"

Bi Yao turned her head and saw a young man in a green Taoist robe looking at her with a smile.

The man had a handsome face and was holding a whisk in his hand, looking like an immortal.

Could it be... this is the legendary immortal cultivator?

Bi Yao was delighted and was about to ask when she saw the man pull out a bottle of elixir from his arms and said mysteriously, "Miss, this is an 'immortal elixir' passed down from my ancestors. If you eat it, I guarantee you will be able to ascend to immortality immediately!"

Bi Yao: “…” Wait, this familiar routine… She narrowed her eyes, carefully looking at the man in front of her, a trace of vigilance rising in her heart.

"An ancestral elixir? May I ask, Taoist priest, what does your elixir taste like?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is a secret from heaven and cannot be revealed! Girl, just eat it!" As he spoke, he handed the pill to Bi Yao.

Bi Yao reached out to take the pill, put it under her nose and smelled it.

A faint smell of... Maltesers?

"Master," Bi Yao said with a meaningful smile, "Can we... try something different?"
