During these few days of drinking, he also heard a lot of rumors about monsters and ghosts in the wine shop, but most of them were legends. This time, it was the first time for him to have a personal experience like these people.

So Lu Sheng pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Fortunately, those people did not hide it. They continued to talk loudly about the strange things in the fishing village.

"I saw the water ghost with my own eyes. It was more than ten feet tall, with a green face and fangs, and covered with a lot of water grass. My goodness, if it weren't for your big brother running fast, you wouldn't have seen me now." The bald man is still frightened.

"Big brother, is there really such a thing as a water ghost?" A man didn't believe it.

"I'm afraid it's not a story made up by you, big brother?" Another man laughed.

Lu Sheng also felt funny when he heard this. It was probably just a bragging by a rough man who came out of nowhere.

He has seen many such people during this period.

After eating and drinking, he asked the servant to bring the song list of the singing girl and browsed it casually.

Although the Three Meetings was good, it was not suitable for the occasion, so he planned to change to a more cheerful one.

Bang!

But at this moment, the bald man blushed and slapped the table.

"Do you really think that I, Boss Hu, can only brag? Look, look at what this is! A piece of bone that the water ghost dropped on the ground! This is what I secretly picked up afterwards!" He carefully took out a piece of jade-like green stone from his arms and slapped it on the table.

"Isn't this just a piece of miscellaneous jade!" A man laughed.

"Miscellaneous jade? This is miscellaneous jade?! Bullshit!"

The bald man blushed.

"Brother. Can you show me this thing?"

Suddenly a gentle voice came from the side.

Lu Sheng stood by the table with a smile on his face, and his eyes swept across the green jade on the table.

"You dare to take this thing? It's something left by a water ghost." The bald man said in surprise. He just took it out to show off now, and planned to throw it away in a while. After all, this is not a thing left by a human. If it really attracts water ghosts to cause trouble, it will be more trouble than gain.

"It's okay. I'll just take a look." Lu Sheng didn't believe in water ghosts, but he saw that the jade looked good, not like ordinary miscellaneous jade.

You know, ordinary miscellaneous jade can be bought everywhere in shops and stalls. It is made of jade scraps that are polished at random, and the price is extremely cheap. But for some reason, he felt something was wrong when he saw this piece of jade.

The bald strong man Hu Lao Da looked at Lu Sheng and saw that he had an extraordinary temperament and was dressed elegantly.

He wore a green and white fox fur coat, a green jade hat, and black-soled boots with cloud patterns embroidered with silver thread. The clothes he wore could be spent in this Guihuafang for several months, and even enough for ordinary people to live for more than a year.

"If you want it, it's not impossible. Um... one tael of silver will do!" The sturdy man hesitated and tried to speak.

"Okay." Lu Sheng asked Xiaoqiao to take out one tael of silver and put it on the table.

"This is yours." The bald man decisively picked up the jade and stuffed it into Lu Sheng's hand. The few people exchanged glances and got up and left.

Lu Sheng didn't say anything, watching them leave, holding the jade in his hand and looking at it carefully.

"One tael of silver, if it were converted to China on Earth, the purchasing power would be equivalent to one thousand yuan. That's how rich I can be in this life."

He shook his head. One tael of silver was nothing to him. According to the memory of this body, his monthly expenses on weekdays were at least one hundred taels of silver. Occasionally, he might spend more than a thousand taels. That's millions!

Thinking of this, he secretly thought he was a spendthrift. Holding the jade, he ignored the gazes of the guests watching the excitement around him, and walked away from the winery with his feet on his small feet, heading towards the carriage waiting outside.

But just after leaving the winery, before he had walked halfway, he was suddenly startled, and took the jade and put it in his palm.

The jade actually melted in his palm, in the palm of his right hand.

The originally hard stone turned into a ball of dark green mucus in just a few seconds, and a faint scream came from the mucus.

Puff!

The whole mucus suddenly exploded, turning into a ball of green smoke, slowly drifting away from in front of Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng stood there in astonishment, and when he looked at it, he found that the jade was still in his hand, but the green inside had quietly disappeared without knowing when.

"What was that just now..." He stood there in a daze, constantly recalling the previous scene for a while.

"Young Master? Young Master?" Xiaoqiao kept calling him from the side.

Lu Sheng came back to his senses and looked at the jade in his hand. It was just an ordinary pebble, not even jade.

He felt a little scared, but he vaguely understood something.

"Let's go back to the mansion!"

Xiaoqiao blinked and didn't react: "Oh..."

The two got on the carriage. The driver whipped the whip a few times in the air, and the two black horses with long hair slowly moved.

In the carriage, Lu Sheng said nothing and kept looking at the pebble in his hand.

Xiaoqiao also found the stone strange at this time.

"I was fooled again!" She muttered in her heart, and didn't say much. The eldest son was lucky this time. The biggest time he was deceived was for a so-called antique wine pot, which cost thousands of taels of silver, almost making the master angry to death.

This time it was only one tael of silver, and the young master sometimes spent more than this money on a meal.

The carriage went all the way back to the mansion. When passing by the city gate, Lu Sheng heard someone shouting outside.

".....I heard before that the water ghost was eliminated! A wandering Taoist priest helped the fishing village out of danger!"

"Did anyone from the imperial court come?"

"They came a long time ago. I heard that even Ouyang, the head of the city's prefectural government, was almost trapped. Fortunately, he met a wandering Taoist priest. It is said that when the Taoist priest took action, a golden light flashed, and the water ghost screamed on the spot, turned into green slime, and then exploded into thick smoke and dispersed."

"It wasn't done by a master from the imperial court?"

"Of course not!"

Lu Sheng heard that it was the officers guarding the city gate chatting.

He often deliberately passed by this city gate. The officers and soldiers guarding here were well-informed and liked to brag about strange things everywhere.

"What a coincidence..." Lu Sheng's face was expressionless. He recalled the jade stone before, and his heart sank.

The carriage slowly drove towards the most prosperous Kurong Street in the city.
