At the end of the withered old tree, there was an ancient temple. In the wind and rain, it had been in ruins for a long time. The walls were broken and weeds were everywhere.
In front of the temple, a wooden plaque was hanging obliquely, with endless desolation loneliness.
In the courtyard, the old man just now bent over and slowly walked into the temple.
As soon as he entered, he took out a large bag of medicinal herbs from his arms. Then, he lifted the broken curtain and entered the inner hall.
At this time, Samuel also walked in. Under the cover of the night sky, he arrived at the main hall. The four fierce statues in the hall did not become gentle because of the erosion. Instead, a part of them was missing and they looked even more ferocious. In the night, they were like four evil spirits, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
The air was filled with a stench. The ground was very dirty and the dry grass was all over the place. There was some grass in the innermost part, which should be the place where the old man slept.
Samuel was about to go deeper when he suddenly moved his foot and kicked the furnace on the ground, making a piercing sound.
When Samuel squatted down to pick up the furnace, he frowned because the furnace he kicked down was almost the same as the one he had bought before.
At this moment, the curtain was opened and the old man came out. His face was a little cold. When he saw that it was Samuel, he relaxed a little. "It's you?"
Samuel nodded. This old man was the old man who had just sold the tripod to him.
"What do you mean? Did you go back on your word? Sorry, I've spent the money," the old man said coldly.
Samuel smiled and said, "You sold the furnace for a million purple crystals. You can take this money and enjoy yourself, but you have gone to the medicine store and bought all kinds of precious medicinal materials. With your body, you don't have to do this."
"You're following me? Also, this is my business. You don't have to worry about it."
Samuel shook his head and said, "Don't worry, senior. I didn't mean to follow you. I'm not here to go back on my words, and I mean no harm. I'm here to deliver the furnace."
After that, Samuel took out the Azure Dragon Tripod and handed it to the old man. In fact, he didn't want this broken tripod. He bought it because he saw the anxiety hidden in the old man's eyes. His intuition told him that the old man must be in need of money. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken out his most precious furnace to sell.
Although Samuel did not think that the furnace was rare or precious, the old man's eyes told him that at least it was very important to the old man.
Therefore, to Samuel, the one million, was actually a kind of help to the old man.
