I became the pet of the Celestial Masters by cooking

Chapter 66: Chapter 66

Tong Shangyan gave him a sideways glance, but didn't reach out to pick up the things.

Li Lai didn't care, put the water glass and bowl in front of him, got up and backed away, and found a place where people could sit and half-sit and half-recumbent, and teased him: "What? Worried that I might poison it?"

Tong Shangyan looked at the water and porridge in front of him for a while, and finally picked up the water glass.

The water was warm water, and it fell into his weak stomach, which made him feel a lot better. He drank it very slowly, and took several sips to finish the small half cup of water. Then he stopped holding back and picked up the white porridge on the ground.

Seeing that he was willing to eat, Li Lai raised his eyebrows and teased him: "How does this last supper taste?"

Tong Shangyan ignored him and drank porridge slowly. This bowl was an old-fashioned ceramic bowl with a large mouth and a small bottom. When he lowered his head, his entire face was almost buried in the bowl.

He still had some confidence in his heart, since Tao Zhou wanted him to live, it would be unnecessary to poison the food, so he ate this porridge with peace of mind.

But when he thought that Li Lai was the ghost sent by the other party, Tong Shangyan couldn't help but react when he saw him. He really couldn't show any good face, and said eccentrically: "If you want my life, you can do it already. Useful for you, my, Lord, son."

He intentionally emphasized the word "your master" and used different methods to satirize Li Lai as the other party's lackey.

Li Lai is shameless and shameless alone, and a few words can't really hurt him, so he can only laugh shamelessly after hearing this: "Little Tongtong, don't be so ostentatious, anyway, let's go to Longyue Mountain at night and sleep together in Shenjia Village. It really breaks my heart."

Tong Shangyan had never seen such a brazen person before, he searched his brains and couldn't find anything to say, so he could only keep his mouth shut and ignore him.

However, Li Lai, who can sing flowers in a one-man show, waited for a while and saw no response from Tong Shangyan, so he leaned closer to him and asked in a low voice, "Waiting for Yin Tangfeng to rescue you?"

Tong Shangyan glanced at him quickly and said nothing, the answer to the question was well known to both of them.

Li Lai had a half-smile, and said mysteriously, "Then you'd better pray to God and worship Buddha, I hope your lover will find you soon, there is not much time left for you two."

Tong Shangyan choked up, unable to figure out whether the words were intended to anger him or the truth, even half of the porridge he drank became unbearable.

Seeing that his face was ugly to the naked eye, Li Lai smiled complacently and scratched his nose with his thumb.

Tong Shangyan was so angry that he raised his head and drank the last sip of rice soup, and said forcefully, "We are cultivators, and we don't worship Buddha."

Li Lai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized "Oh", the whole word was a word, and the ending sound was dragged out, which made Tong Shang even more annoyed, and raised his hand and threw the empty bowl at him.

Li Lai caught the bowl to prevent it from being smashed into pieces, and pretended to regret, "You don't seem to realize your situation. You are a prisoner. If you treat your kidnapper like this, aren't you afraid of being beaten?

But boy, you are so cute, of course I am reluctant to do anything to you, if you say a few more nice things to me, I can tell you something else. "

Tong Shangyan wasn't sure what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, but just hearing what he said, he borrowed the donkey to go downhill and asked bluntly: "Well, tell me, how long have I been arrested? Why did you betray us and become a ghost? ? What is your master's purpose in arresting me? And...how is Sister Lan?"

Li Lai stared at Tong Shangyan with a slight smile on his lips. Seeing that Tong Shangyan was about to get nervous, he answered him: "It has been four days since we left Thirteen Islands. Counting today, you are at Boss Yin's place. Been out for five days.

As for my purpose, it's very simple, to take people's money and help them eliminate disasters. Boss Tao paid me to do things for him, and I took the money to do things for him. It's such a simple transaction relationship, but there is no betrayal or betrayal statement. "

He spread his hands and didn't speak anymore, obviously it wasn't as nice as what he said, and he wasn't completely willing to answer some words.

Tong Shangyan didn't expect Li Lai to really tell him everything, but with the mentality of giving it a try, he asked again: "So you don't belong to Tao Zhou's gang?"

Li Lai shrugged noncommittally.

Tong Shangyan asked him again: "Tao Zhou hired you to kidnap me? What else is there besides this?"

Li Lai shook his head regretfully, and said, "Sorry, my professional ethics prevents me from answering your question."

Tong Shangyan: ...

If you agree, you can tell me something else, why don't you just refuse to say anything?

"A profiteer!" He turned his head away in disgust, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately asked Li Lai, "Will you be willing to do things as long as I give you money? I will pay you to help me get out of here, or not?" ?”

Li Lai looked him up and down, and ruthlessly refused: "You can't afford my price."

Tong Shangyan: ...

Although he knew that what he said was true, at this time Tong Shangyan refused to steam the steamed buns to argue, and said stubbornly: "Dogs look down on people! Don't underestimate me, I, I have savings, and my boss is rich, I, I Ask him to advance salary! Ask him to borrow money! As long as you bid, I will give you double reward!"

Li Lai was almost amused by him, but it was rare for him to speak seriously to him once: "Tong Shangyan, sometimes, the reward is not necessarily money, what I want this time, you can't afford it, only Boss Tao can give it to me. "

Speaking of this, Tong Shangyan had no choice but to look at each other, speechless.

Whether it was intentional or not, Li Lai suppressed the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, bent over and took away the leftover water from him.

When the two were so close that their cheeks were almost touching their cheeks, Li Lai sighed softly, "Hold on, maybe there might be a miracle if you hang on a little longer."

Tong Shangyan felt that there was something in his words, and was about to ask something more, when Li Lai knocked rhythmically on the door twice from the inside, asking the guards outside to open it for him.

Tong Shangyan's mind became active again, Li Lai didn't let him continue to sleep, and the room didn't look like there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, in the dead of night, could he...

"Don't try to escape, Tao Zhou cast a curse on you, you can't escape." Li Lai stood outside the door to give Tong Shangyan a final warning, and then gave him a wink at the last moment when the door closed.

Tong Shangyan had a chill, just in time to notice that there was actually a strong man wearing a black hoodie guarding the door, and then he figured it out, even if he was not allowed to continue to sleep, plus the unknown curse, and a weak body , he... In fact, it is difficult to escape.

And he doesn't even know where he is now, even if he is lucky enough to escape from this hut, where will he go?How to go?Can escape with only two weak legs?

There are too many unknown factors, he... can only expect to be rescued.

He... will come to save him?Just like the night when the two first met, it descended from the sky, like a god.

Li Lai, who came out of the small shed where the boy was detained, walked directly to the kitchen at the other end with empty bowls and cups.

The place they are staying now is an abandoned house at the foot of the mountain. The owner of the house is one of Tao Zhou's followers. Everyone in the village has moved to another place long ago, leaving the dilapidated old house in the village empty, which is convenient for them hide.

As Li Lai told Tong Shangyan, he and Tao Zhou are indeed not in a subordinate relationship, but purely for cooperation of interests. Dao Insurance, and he did ask Tao Zhou for the two parties to reach a consensus on cooperation.

Now that their cooperation has ended, Tao Zhou has never had much trust in him, and he never revealed to Li Lai what he was going to do, and Li Lai can only speculate on what they are going to do by using clichés from his subordinates.

The reason Tao Zhou came to this deserted mountain village was because there was a temple on the mountain. There were no old or young monks in the temple, but there was a collapsed pagoda.

Under the pagoda is an unfinished magic circle. In the past few days, Tao Zhou led his men to go out early and return late every day to repair the magic circle. Once the magic circle is completed...

Li Lai smiled wryly, what position does he have to worry about Tong Shangyan now?

He hurriedly cleaned the cups and bowls in the sink, shaking the water droplets from his hands, and walked into the house, just in time to meet Tao Zhou being helped back by one of his men named Da Peng.

In the three days since he came to the mountain village, Tao Zhou seldom paid attention to him, and kept his head under the pagoda to oversee the work. Li Lai occasionally saw him, and he could feel that his condition was not very good.

Just like now, the delicate star's face was covered with a layer of gray, and he looked like he was dying.

When Tao Zhou saw Li Lai, he straightened his back and let go of Da Peng's hands, raised his chin and put on a dignified look, and said, "Listen to my subordinates, that young man has woken up, Master Li just sent him a Food? Thank you, Master Li, for caring about my little friend."

Li Lai stepped forward with a hippie smile: "It's easy to talk about, isn't this what Boss Tao ordered? No matter what you do, you have to keep your breath.

Boss Tao is an expert in the world. He doesn't know the troubles of us mortals, such as eating, drinking, and psychological pressure. "

Tao Zhou put on a smile, and squinted at him: "That was really my negligence, thank you Master Li for being careful."

Li Lai was shameless: "You're welcome, as long as Boss Tao remembers what he promised me, Li is obliged to do so."

Tao Zhou sneered in his heart, but his face was still polite: "Master Li, don't worry, the next thing you say is hard to recover, the relics of the revered master have been found, and the person who went to pick them up is already on the way back. When the time comes, we will pay both money and goods." .”

Li Lai arched his hands at him, looking very happy: "Boss Tao is refreshing, remember to take care of me when there is good business in the future."

Tao Zhou nodded slightly: "It's easy to say."

The two ended the conversation tacitly, and Tao Zhou hurried back to the room where he was temporarily staying. Once he entered the door, he couldn't hide the painful look on his face.

Da Peng, who followed him in, locked the door winkingly, waited for him to sit down in the center of the magic circle drawn on the ground, and then ran to take out the dowry locker locked in the low cabinet.

Tao Zhou endured the pain and sat cross-legged in the magic circle. When Da Peng put the dowry in the eye of the circle, he quickly formed a seal and chanted the mantra.

After chanting a long series of incantations, the magic circle began to emit a faint yellow light from the dark yellow dowry, and Tao Zhou's body was also covered with a layer of dark yellow from bottom to top. When his whole body was wrapped in yellow light, he The pained look on his face finally dissipated, and the gray color gradually faded away.

After waiting for a long time, Tao Zhou opened his eyes, relaxed his body and took a long breath.

Da Peng swiftly put away the dowry and came over to help him up.

In addition to the magic circle drawn in the center of the room, there is a wooden bed under the window. Tao Zhou slowly moved to the wooden bed and sat down to adjust his breath. Thinking of Li Lai he had just met, he asked Da Peng: "This Li Lai How many days can be peaceful?"

Da Peng respectfully replied: "I find someone to watch him every day, and there is nothing out of the ordinary."

Tao Zhou nodded reassuringly, kneading between his eyebrows with two fingers, looking very tired.

Seeing this, Da Peng hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward to persuade: "My lord, the effect of dowry has weakened compared to before. Although the best time to seize the house next time is the full moon in seven days, I'm afraid we can't wait so long..."

Tao Zhou was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "I know, I have a sense of proportion, you go down."

Da Peng frowned and pursed his lips, and finally said: "I will follow the Lord's order."
