C599 Failed Talisman
However, Wenn Yaen's words were like a stone sinking into the ocean. She could not bear to be pushed and could not create any waves.
The blue-clothed guard impatiently listened to Wenn Yaen's words. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the talisman did not have the slightest effect and could not help but feel incomparably shocked.
The talisman that he activated actually did not have the slightest movement. It only gently swayed along with the wind on top of it. It did not seem to be any different from an ordinary piece of paper. Immediately after, it landed on the ground and nothing happened.
The blue-clothed guard couldn't help but feel uneasy. The spell that he was muttering suddenly stopped. The strange phenomenon in front of him shocked him. Everything he did was normal, so how could there be a mistake?
"Could this be a counterfeit product? How is this possible? I just spent a large sum of money to hire it!"
The azure-robed scholar beside him also took out the talisman from his backpack. His mouth formed seals as he used the talisman. However, the same strange thing happened. The talisman that he bought with a large sum of money actually had no effect at all. Immediately, he pulled out another talisman from his backpack. He really did not believe this!
He gently tossed the talisman in his hand and quickly floated towards Lin Lang. The green-robed scholar, who had been chanting some kind of spell, had a gloomy expression on his face. No matter how he cast the spell, he didn't seem to have the slightest reaction.
The guard carefully looked at the talisman in their hands and found that the two talismans looked very familiar. He slowly picked them up and looked at them. His pupils immediately contracted and a strange light flashed in his eyes. He found out that these were the daily paper that he used to wipe the table boards with.
Such crude daily paper was actually treated as a treasure by these two people. He couldn't help but laugh and reveal a strange expression. He helplessly said to the blue clothed guards: "You two bastards, what kind of trash did you buy? Is this how you half-hearted me?"
The green-robed scholar immediately took out a couplet and respectfully handed it to the guard. His teeth couldn't help but tremble as he said: "Sir, this is the proof of my purchase of talismans. Sir, please take a look. I spent a large amount of money to buy the best talismans. They are definitely not something these tattered pieces of paper can compare with!"
The guard waved his hand and immediately made his judgment. "Haha, the certificate can be forged. Who can predict that you are not impulsive enough to fill your own pockets? If you want to claim credit in front of me, please reward me. Even if you extort me, I might not know!"
The azure-robed scholar's face was flushed red, and that anger rushed straight from his neck into his mind. However, facing the powerful guard leader, the azure-robed scholar who had always believed in self-preservation, he knew that the guard leader in front of him was not someone to be trifled with. He also knew that he was under someone else's roof, so how could he not bow his head?
However, after a moment of hesitation, he helplessly explained: "Sir, I personally bought this from my own pocket, so how could there be any deceit? Moreover, this guard brother and I bought a fake talisman at the same time, so it's impossible for things in this world to be so coincidental, right? Maybe the unscrupulous merchant sold us a fake one! "
"The unscrupulous merchant. Hehe, then how did he deceive your eyes back then? Don't tell me that this effect will only be effective for a short period of time, but it will be destroyed into pieces after a long period of time. Do you think I am a brainless fool? " The guard retorted without any reservation.
"Lord, please take a look. This unscrupulous merchant must have used a special method to deceive us! Not to mention, I. . . With this blue-clothed guard brother who doesn't know each other, how can he collude with us to deceive you, Lord? If all these papers are fake, I'm willing to swallow all these talismans into my stomach! "
Looking at the pale-faced azure-clothed scholar, the blue-clothed guard immediately echoed: "Sir, I am also not acquainted with this scholar. Why would I join hands to deceive you? Sir, your grace to me is as heavy as a mountain. Sir, please believe that this time, this subordinate will be able to see through everything!"
The guard did not say much as he handed the paper in his hand to the green-robed scholar. There was some anger on his face, and his brows were tightly knitted. However, he was exceptionally calm.
The green-robed scholar glanced out of the corner of his eye, and only saw a pair of emotionless eyes. Only then did he realize that the guard wasn't joking with him. He immediately borrowed the light of the almost imperceptible oil lamp to recognize it with great difficulty.
In the place where the faint light shone, the green-robed scholar could not help but be stunned. The talismans that they had spent a large amount of money to purchase had actually turned into a pile of scrap paper at this moment. He hurriedly took out the remaining stack of talismans from his backpack, only to find that there weren't many talismans left in his backpack, and only the daily paper was left.
"What exactly is going on? You better explain it to me clearly. I don't believe you dare to lie to me!"
As he spoke, he stared coldly at the green-robed scholar and spoke word by word: "You said that you were willing to swallow these pieces of paper into your stomach, so swallow them now!"
He looked at these tissues that were slightly rough and even slightly stiff. There were also mottled patterns on them. Some of them were traces of dust. They were black and looked extremely disgusting.
The azure-robed scholar immediately found it hard to swallow, especially since he had always been pampered. When had he ever eaten such trash before? If he really ate it badly, how could he reason with it?
However, the guard didn't seem to care about the azure-robed scholar's constipated expression. Seeing the guard head's firm expression, the azure-robed scholar could only swallow his anger and take it from the guard head's hand. It was as if he was eating a mouthful of rice, forcefully chewing it down.
The guard stared at the blue-clothed guard once again. The meaning was very clear. The blue-clothed guard immediately understood his meaning and helplessly smiled. He immediately took the few dry tissues and slowly rolled them into a cigarette shaped tissue. He then turned them into cigarettes and forcefully chewed on them.
When the guard saw that the guard's face was slightly relaxed, the blue-clothed guard hurriedly said, "Sir, I am willing to accept your punishment, but please allow me to explain. I am really wronged. I took these talismans from the guards, not these tattered tissues. There must be someone behind this! "
The guard leader chuckled. Although his eyes were still cold, he nodded amiably.
The blue-clothed guard struck while the iron was hot: "But it doesn't matter, even without these talismans I sincerely want to help you catch a wanted criminal, my lord. I have never been disloyal, please take a look! "
The azure-robed scholar was frightened by the blue-clothed guard's words. He and the blue-clothed guard had been friends for many years.
