Master is unreliable

Despite all reluctance, Chu Lan was taken off the boat.

Steward Wang hugged Chu Lan, smiled and talked to Duan Li beside him: "Liu Xianjun, how old is your little apprentice this year? Is he six years old?"

"How old is it?" Duan Li stroked his chin and looked at Chu Lan.

Chu Lan naturally knew that this person was not clear, so he replied, "Uncle Wang, I am nine years old this year."

In this short period of time, he has already thought clearly. Now that he has disembarked, it is useless to talk about other things. It is better to adjust his mentality to deal with the next thing.

"Nine years old?" Steward Wang was obviously taken aback. He squeezed Chu Lan's arm, frowned and said, "Xiao Xianjun, you have to eat well. Our boy is seven years old this year, and he is very strong."

Chu Lan: "Uncle Wang, I'm like this, no matter how much I eat, I won't get fat."

Steward Wang: "Why, I don't see you eating well these days. Is it because the food on the boat is not to your taste?"

Chu Lan sneaked a glance at Duan Li, thinking that it wasn't that it didn't suit his taste, it was because he had no appetite.

After getting off the boat and walking a certain distance, Guanshi Wang was called away.

Steward Wang put Chu Lan down, and said to Duan Li: "Then Liu Xianjun, you are strolling around, I have something to do with you. Just come back here before dark."

Duan Li smiled and nodded: "Okay."

**

Los Angeles City was indeed as bustling and lively as Guanshi Wang said. The streets were lined with stalls, and the streets were crowded with people.

Although Chu Lan had something in his heart, he was a child after all. It was the first time he came to such a prosperous place when he grew up.

As he was walking, he turned his head to look at this and that, so he didn't pay attention to the road, and accidentally bumped into someone. Chu Lan covered her nose and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I..."

"Disciple, there are many people here." Duan Li's voice sounded above his head, sounding very happy, "Follow closely as a teacher, don't get lost."

It turned out that the person he bumped into was Duan Li, and Chu Lan responded, "Got it." Duan Li nodded in satisfaction, and then started walking again.

Looking at Duan Li's back, Chu Lan's mind became active.Yes, there are many people here, and if you are not careful, you will "scatter".

Chu Lan thought about it carefully, and suddenly saw Duan Li in front of him stop, as if he was looking at something.

Following Duan Li's gaze, he saw a pair of grandparents and grandchildren not far ahead.The old man is handing a colorful bone twirling object to his little granddaughter.The girl took the thing and jumped up and down happily.

Chu Lan recognized that it was a windmill.He had also seen it at the market in the fishing village, but the windmill had a single color and was very rough in workmanship.Unlike the one held in the girl's hand, it is colorful and has tiny bells on it. When it is turned, it makes a crisp and pleasant sound.

Following the master in the poor life of the fishing village, Chu Lan is also sensible. Although he likes it, he has never revealed it.

Chu Lan withdrew his gaze enviously. He glanced at Duan Li, wondering why this man wanted to look at that pair of grandparents and grandchildren. Could it be that he was interested in windmills?

A peddler selling windmills happened to be walking towards him. When the peddler passed by Duan Li, Chu Lan saw Duan Li grab one and handed it to herself.

Chu Lan:? ? ?

"Hey." The peddler turned around abruptly and snatched the windmill from Duan Li's hand, "What's wrong with you, why did you take my things without saying a word? Did you pay me?"

Duan Li was puzzled: "Money?"

The peddler stretched out his hand to Duanli, "Money, silver, do you have any?"

Duan Li was in a daze, the peddler plugged the windmill back and cursed, "What are you doing with my things if you don't have money? Could it be that you want to rob in broad daylight?"

Many people on the street noticed the commotion here, and looked over one after another. Chu Lan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, I don't want this, let's go over there and have a look." Then she dragged Duan Li away.

Duan Li let Chu Lan pull him and didn't resist. He stared at the back of the little apprentice's head and asked, "Disciple, what is money? What is silver?"

Chu Lan, who was walking in front, frowned deeply. He became more and more curious about this "person" occupying Master's body.

He is not afraid of the sun, so he cannot be a ghost; he is merciless to robbers, and he is not a demon; he does not understand many things in the world, and it seems that he has no intention of harming himself. What is the identity of this person?

Chu Lan asked herself again, what exactly does this person want to do.

Duan Li didn't wait for an answer, so he asked again. Chu Lan stopped and turned around to point to the booth beside her.

Duan Li looked over and saw a person took things from the booth, and then took out a few flat and round things from his arms and handed them to the person on the other side of the booth.

Chu Lan said, "That's money."

Duan Li asked again: "Then what is the money?"

"Silver is money." Chu Lan pointed to another stall, where a customer was throwing an ingot of silver to the stall owner.

Chu Lan said: "They are in business, we want their things, and we have to spend money to buy them."

Duan Li showed a look of sudden realization, "No wonder that man was so fierce just now, it's because I didn't pay him."

Chu Lan: "..."

Duan Li said: "Disciple, do you have any money?"

Chu Lan shook her head, Duan Li thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

An ominous premonition flashed in Chu Lan's heart, and he said, "Master, you..." Duan Li waved at him and led him towards the flowers and trees beside the long street.

Chu Lan saw Duan Li casually picked a leaf and held it in his hand. When he opened his palm again, there was an ingot of silver lying in his palm.

Duan Li said with a smile: "Teacher, now we have money. Let's go, let's go buy that thing that turns around."

Chu Lan: "..."

After discovering that Duan Li didn't understand the world, Chu Lan felt that his fear of this person had dissipated a little, so he stopped Duan Li, "Master, you can't use this."

"Why?" Duan Li was puzzled.

Looking at Duan Li's eyes full of doubts, Chu Lan frowned with some headaches. He felt that even if he explained, this person would not listen, but he still said: "Your money is changed from leaves, not real money. .”

Duan Li stretched out his hand, still a little wronged: "Isn't it the same as the one in that man's hand?"

Chu Lan glanced behind her and was relieved to see that the people on the street were busy with their own affairs and no one noticed them.He said: "Not one of them, what is fake is fake. Master, we can't use falsehoods to deceive others. This is against the law."

Duan Li frowned, he looked at the "money" in his hand in embarrassment, "Then what about this?"

Chu Lan took the "money" and put it in her arms, "Confiscated."

**

Having no money does not affect Duan Li's good mood.He took Chu Lan and slipped from the street to the end of the street, and changed to another street.Chu Lan was not interested, he wanted to escape with all his heart.

Although this person treats him well at the moment, no one can guarantee that this person will continue like this forever. If one day he is in a bad mood, his own life will be gone.

Chu Lan pinched the jade pendant hanging on his chest through the clothes. He was a little thankful that this person didn't change his clothes.He always remembered what his master told him before he died, that he was going to Tianzhaomen.

**

Duan Lixuan's street mostly sells food, grilled squid, grilled prawns, grilled fish fillets, grilled scallops, all kinds of seafood, and the strong smell of food wafts in the air.

Duan Li was not interested in these foods - it was useless to be interested, his "money" was confiscated by the young apprentice.

There was applause coming from the front, Chu Lan took a look and saw many people gathered together, his eyes lit up, he pulled Duan Li's sleeve and said, "Master, let's go over there and have a look?"

Duan Li took a look and asked, "So many people, what are they doing?"

Chu Lan swallowed her saliva, and said as naturally as possible: "There is juggling over there, it's very interesting, Master, let's go and have a look together?"

"Acrobatics?" Duan Li's eyes flashed with interest, he smiled and said, "Okay."

Seeing Duan Li nodding, Chu Lan let out a barely audible sigh of relief.It seems that he guessed right, this man is interested in everything in the world.

Chu Lan was thinking while watching Duan Li's back.

This person gave him the feeling like a child who was trapped in a deep house, suddenly ran out of the house, saw everything new, and didn't understand anything.

It's just that this person is so strong, who can hold him?

Just as he was thinking, he saw Duan Li in front of him turning his head and smiling at him, "Disciple, follow up."

"Here we come." Chu Lan followed.

When the two squeezed to the front, they saw a burly man in a costume with oil paint on his face standing in the middle. He tilted his head, and when he turned around again, the pattern on his face changed.

"Wow!" Duan Li's eyes widened in surprise. With his eyesight, he could see that this person did not use any tricks, which made him very interested.

After pondering for a while, but still having no idea, Duan Li poked at the little apprentice beside him, "What's going on? His face...how did it change?"

It was Chu Lan's first time out of the fishing village, so of course he couldn't recognize him, so he shook his head.

A kind-hearted person next to them explained their doubts: "This is called face changing."

"Changing faces." Duan Li repeated, and began to chat with that person carefully.

Chu Lan saw that he was talking seriously and didn't notice her at all, and she was overjoyed. While paying attention to Duan Li's movements, he quietly bent down and squeezed back into the crowd.

Chu Lan was already small, but when she squatted down, she became even smaller.He quickly squeezed out of the crowd, and then he didn't dare to delay, and ran with his legs crossed.

Chu Lan didn't stop until she was out of breath and couldn't walk anymore.He wiped the sweat off his forehead, looked back, and was relieved after making sure that Duan Li hadn't chased him.

It was still several hours before dark, so Chu Lan found a secluded corner to hide. He planned to go to some branch of Ming Guangzong after dark to ask where Tianzhaomen was.

It was getting dark soon, and Chu Lan secretly went to the port under the cover of the moonlight. He was relieved to find that the ship was no longer there.

After asking passers-by for the location of the Ming Guangzong branch, Chu Lan searched all the way there.When he stood at the door, he clearly heard the beating of his heart.

He was going to Tianzhaomen, and he wanted to ask people from Ming Guangzong to help him get back his master's body.

Chu Lan took a step forward, but suddenly stopped.After two days of getting along, he felt that the person who occupied Master's body was not bad, and he seemed to want to use Master's body to wander around the human world.

Chu Lan frowned, feeling a little troubled in his heart, he thought: "If you don't have time to ask someone from the Ming Guangzong, just drive that person away without hurting his life."

Thinking of this, Chu Lan relaxed a little.

It's a pity that he thought so much, but it was useless in the end - he couldn't step into Ming Guangzong at all.

The guard at the door stopped Chu Lan and said, "Where is the kid, is this a place where you can wander around? Go quickly."

Chu Lan wanted to explain, but the man didn't listen at all, and waved his hands as if to repel flies: "Go, go." He yawned and said to his companion, "Go to Zuichun Pavilion for a drink later?"

The companion smiled and said, "Okay."

"Big brother." Chu Lan waited for them to finish talking before calling softly.

The man frowned when he saw his brows: "Why are you still here? Go fast."

Chu Lan said: "Big brother, I really have something to see you, you... my lord, can you..."

"Wei Xianjun is busy, how can I see you little boy." The man sneered, with a bad attitude, and stretched out his hand to push Chu Lan, "Get out, if you don't get out, I will beat you!"

Chu Lan was taken a few steps back by the man, and fell down the steps. Although there were only a few steps, the fall was very painful.

Chu Lan glanced at the scratched elbow, then looked up at the vicious guard at the door, finally got up and left without saying a word.
