Chapter 953: Wu Ya Sets a Trap to Lure into the Urn

The peddler selling the sea treasure pointed at Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan's nose: "You give me back the thing, I won't sell it!"

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan smiled: "Look, you're anxious again. I didn't say this wasn't a good thing!"

Watching the crowd surrounding them getting larger and larger, the man turned his face and said: "Everyone, a treasure I picked up myself, I got its use, kindly administered medicine to everyone, and sent it to so many people, but I didn't say I wanted a cent! Since you doubt me, I won't send this medicine anymore, okay?"

The crowd of onlookers was unhappy!

"You didn't collect money when you applied it to one of our eyes, but you didn't say you wouldn't collect money for the second eye!"

"Since you don't collect money, why find someone to cheat us?"

Those who used the medicine were the most angry, grabbing the man by the collar and surrounding the stall owner.

"You sold fake medicine. This medicine is used in the eyes. Now it feels cool in the eyes, but who knows what will happen when we go back. Those who sell fake medicine should be beaten to death!"

The angry crowd surrounded the stall owner and the two people playing mother and son.

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan shook his head repeatedly on the outside and said: "Everyone, gentlemen... since he didn't collect our money, it doesn't count as cheating money. As long as he proves that this medicine has no harm, that's it. We big men in Dagu don't make things difficult for people."

"Yes!"

Several people who used the medicine became more and more agitated, grabbing the man by the collar and saying: "You have to prove that this medicine has no harm. If I go blind, I'll take your eyes out now!"

The medicine-selling man was sweating profusely, pointing to the stone toad in Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan's hand: "If you think I'm selling harmful medicine, come, come, come, apply it to my eyes."

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan shouted: "Wait!"

He held that 'sea treasure' and laughed: "Gentlemen, I'll say a fair word. This thing may not be a bad thing, it's just that it's not real."

He used the bone hairpin to dip a little 'medicine' and gave it to everyone: "Everyone smell it."

Everyone leaned their noses forward and said: "It has a cool, refreshing fragrance."

"Right!" Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan said: "This should be the smell of borneol. This thing! It's not bad, it should be borneol mixed with calamine kneaded together. Treating eyes! It's a good medicine, maybe it has some secret recipe. So the thing is not bad, but you are not honest in doing business. How much are you planning to sell this big piece of sea treasure for?"

"This thing of mine is a sea treasure. And I said I wouldn't sell it, so I won't sell it!" The stall owner was still stubborn.

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan pondered for a moment and said: "In that case, since it's a treasure fished out of the sea, it must not be afraid of water. And borneol melts when it meets water. Let's put it in water and see. If it doesn't melt, I'll recognize your piece as a treasure."

The man was really anxious.

He stammered: "This treasure is unusual! It comes alive when it meets water, and it runs away. If my treasure runs away, can you afford to pay for it?"

This finally hit Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan's heart, and he said: "If it's really a treasure, I'll buy it, okay?"

The man turned his eyes twice and said: "You poor blind man, you can't afford to pay me. In that case, if there is one toad that doesn't melt, you buy it. I want that donkey of yours!"

"This donkey is my own brother, who carried me out of a pile of dead people. Only it can sell me, I can't sell it..."

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan shook his head and said: "In that case, as long as one toad doesn't melt, I'll buy it for a hundred taels of silver each."

"A hundred taels?" The man was slightly stunned: "Are you serious?"

"Looking like a beggar, can you take out a hundred taels?"

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan shook his head and smiled: "Don't look at me being down and out now, but I was rich before."

Saying this, he leaned toward the large black donkey, whispered into the donkey's ear, and the donkey neighed impatiently, then spat out a fur ball from its mouth.

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan opened the fur ball, and inside was a crisp, dripping jade thumb ring.

He placed the jade thumb ring on a handkerchief and showed it to everyone: "I borrowed some money from my donkey brother. This is a top-quality Yunnan jade thumb ring, worth at least two hundred taels."

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan went to such trouble because of a rule in the treasure-hunting trade.

It is said that cheating treasure is not cheating money, and if you see through it, you share half.

It means that for treasures in other people's hands that they don't understand, treasure-hunters can use means to get them into their own hands. For example, for a Ming Dynasty blue and white bowl, you can say it's an old thing, not understood, but you can't say it's new and worthless.

And if someone sees through it and says: "Dou the Great Treasure-Hunter, I think this is a treasure. In that case, don't look at it either. Tell me what it is, and we'll share half."

In this way, no matter what, even if it's a mortal enemy, you have to tell them the origin of the treasure. Even if it's the Imperial Jade Seal, you can only share half with them.

At this time, someone who liked to watch the fun had already brought a large basin of water!

Dou the Great Treasure-Hunter threw the sea treasure into the water, and sure enough, the calamine and borneol melted when they met water.

There was a black lump in the basin, and the people around laughed: "Sure enough, it's fake. Seller of fake medicine, we'll beat you to death if we don't."

Dou the Great Treasure-Hunter shouted: "Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious..."

He reached in to touch it. At this time, a flash of joy appeared on his face. Suddenly, three toads jumped out of the water basin.

The man shouted on the side: "How about that? I said it would come alive! My treasure toad!"

Dou the Great Treasure-Hunter hadn't expected this either.

He only knew that the sea toad definitely wasn't afraid of seawater, and the fake toad made of borneol melted when it met water, but he didn't know about this. Now these three toads were his eyeballs, so he scrambled toward the toads.

His eyeballs were mostly blind, and he missed the toads several times. The onlookers watched the three toads jump into the Medicine King Temple.

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan's pair of divine eyes were mostly ruined, but he mistook the live toads for dead toads.

He chased the toads and broke into the Medicine King Temple, only to see three groups of people surrounding something in the side hall, and his three treasure toads were jumping into the crowd.

"Don't step on my toads!"

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan reached out and searched, begging.

If someone stepped on one and killed it, it would be enough to make his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs ache together!

The largest toad jumped the highest.

It actually jumped a zhang high and landed right in the mouth of the corpse lying on the iron bed. The toad drilled into the mouth of the dissected corpse, but heard a long sigh, as if something was leaking air with a hiss.

The bloated lungs of the corpse, covered by the fascia of the alveoli, suddenly contracted, and a lot of black water gushed out of its mouth.

The corpse's face, which had no trace of blood, suddenly opened its tightly closed eyes, the whole person looked up, opened its belly, and let out a roar that didn't sound human at all.

Shilin, who was presiding over the dissection, was scared pale and stood there stupidly.

The corpse raised its hand. Now the skin between its hands was open, like webs, and its nails became abnormally sharp at some point, grabbing toward Shilin's neck.

A group of people scattered, most of them scrambling, looking at the resurrected corpse in terror.

Only Wu Ya twisted a gold needle, pointed it at the head, and inserted it into the corpse's brow...

She grabbed the corpse's body, gathered the remaining two toads, and turned back to look at Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan who had broken in.

"That toad is mine!" Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan could only vaguely see many people surrounding a person sitting up, so he hurriedly reached out to ask for it, his face showing a flattering smile: "Gentlemen! Pity this old blind man, that toad is the medicine guide for my eyes. If I disturbed your business, old blind man apologizes here!"

"Dou Yuting, I know this is the medicine for your eyes, and, it was medicine I gave you!"

Wu Ya smiled slightly and called out Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan's real name, which no one had called for forty years.

The man selling fake medicine outside and the scholar helping his mother all walked in and stood behind Wu Ya.

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan closed his mouth and was silent for a long time before saying in a deep voice: "Which old friend is it, plotting against this disabled old blind man?"

The man selling medicine smiled: "Du Yuerong, Deacon of the Profound Heaven Sect!"

Saying this, he waved his right hand and changed his face.

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan looked toward the corpse that was half-sitting and frozen in place, nodded, and said: "The fishy smell of the sea, the harsh sound, the non-human language. Although old blind man's pair of eyes are blind, my nose and ears can be worth half a pair of eyes. If I heard correctly, that's a Merman!"

"True Mermen are immortal. This one obtained a little legacy of overseas strange medicine and has signs of Merman transformation. But it can't be counted as a complete Merman."

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan nodded when he heard this: "Also, Mermen are like fish and humans, immortal. Their meat is eaten to not grow old, and their fat is long-burning and inextinguishable. It is a very dangerous alien species overseas. And the most important thing about Mermen is that Merman Pearl. This thing doesn't have a Merman Pearl, so of course it doesn't count as a Merman!"

"So, I had someone lure you here, just to make a deal with you..."

Wu Ya didn't hide her plot to lure Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan here. She said calmly: "I want to exchange a pair of intact eyes for your two blind eyes!"

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan heard this, but sat down dejectedly. He sighed: "It seems this sea toad can't cure this eye of mine. Maybe it can let me see a little light, but in the end, it can't return my pair of divine eyes."

"Wen Caixia! You miscalculated this!"

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan also called out Wu Ya's real name.

"If I guessed correctly, you want to exchange a Merman eye for me, but for old blind man, this pair of eyes, even if they are blind, can't be exchanged for someone else's good eyes..."

Wu Ya smiled: "If so, why would I only exchange one for you?"

"Our Profound Heaven Sect does things grandly. If it were just a simple eye exchange, we could exchange a pair, why only exchange one? Since we exchanged, that one must still be your original eye."

"This is what I said—I can cure your divine eyes, but I want one of them!"

"Impossible!"

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan said irritably: "Wen Caixia, old man's pair of eyes, I have asked how many famous divine doctors in the world to see them for me, and they all said it was heavenly jealousy, heavenly punishment for offending the creation of heaven and earth! What virtue and ability does your Profound Heaven Sect have..."

"No divine doctor in the world can compare to our Sect Master!"

"And what heavenly punishment and heavenly jealousy are all jokes in front of our Sect Master, because he is heaven!"

Wu Ya said slowly: "The peak of creation in the world is nothing more than creating humans. The Sect Master is the one who reopens heaven and earth and recreates all living beings, which is also under his control. If he can't cure your eyes, then your pair is not divine eyes, but heavenly eyes!"

Dou the Dou Dou Xiayan's face was uncertain. For a long time, the doctors of the Three Emperors Society and the foreigners all surrounded him, and then he said: "Wen Caixia, are you serious?" ===== CHAPTER 954 =====
