Chapter 25: The Old Lady of the Yin Owl (Ask for Recommendation!Ask for Collection!)
When the platform under his feet stopped again, there was an iron gate in front of Lu Jiu.
Through the diamond-shaped hole in the door and the bright light on the other side, Lu Jiu could see most of the furnishings in the house.
呲~呲~
Before he could take a few looks, the weasel who had been delaying all the way suddenly became irritable, as if frightened, and began to keep rushing against the bamboo cage.
Lu Jiu was not surprised by this, because Yin Yue beside him was also full of panic now, and kept shrinking behind him, as for the reason......
In the center of the room directly opposite the iron gate, there was a skeleton of a wolf beast nearly two meters high, although its back and limbs were joined with metal pipes and rivets, making the whole skeleton look a little out of place, but the pale skull roaring towards them and the ferocity of the fangs left in it still made people's hairs stand on end.
Obviously, this is also a demon beast, and it is specially placed here, which is undoubtedly a warning to those who enter the door.
If you can't kill this wolf demon, you should put yourself in the right position when you enter the door!
It turned out that the effect of this method was very good, at least the weasel and Yinyue were scared by it, and Lu Jiu himself just felt excited, and the secret trip was not in vain.
Raising his hand to flip the switch on the wall on the right side of the iron gate, Lu Jiu could hear the bell ringing in the house, and after a while, the iron gate in front of him slowly opened.
Lu Jiu stepped in first with the swaying bamboo cage, Yin Yue hesitated for two seconds, but still chose to follow.
The layout of this hidden room is not complicated, aside from the piercing wolf demon skeleton, in fact, there are two windows and a few wooden cabinets, but the things in it are inevitably a little special, for example, in the window in front of Lu Jiu now, the highest layer is actually placed with five glass bottles with eyeballs.
Judging by their size and color, they obviously have nothing to do with humans.
"Master Lu, I ......."
Yin Yue is undoubtedly a person who has seen the world, but in the face of these curious things, she still subconsciously clenched Lu Jiu's sleeve with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, as if she could spit it out at any time.
"If you don't feel well, you can go down and wait in the china shop. ”
Now that she has found a place, Yinyue has completed her mission as a tool man.
Surprisingly, the latter just shook his head when he heard this, trying to turn his gaze away from the rest of the room, and no longer look at the curiosities in the house.
"Is anyone there, please?"
After waiting for a while, he never saw anyone, so Lu Jiu could only ask.
Before the words fell, a wooden door on the inside of the room suddenly opened, and first a liquid boiling sound came out of it, Lu Jiu moved two steps to the side, and could see some glassware placed in the room, but before he could see what it was, his vision was completely blocked by the old woman who appeared at the door.
She looked a little older than the old man who looked at the porcelain shop on the second floor, her hair was gray, and her hooked nose and thin lips made her furrowed face look a little cloudy, and it was difficult to get along with at first glance.
It's just that Lu Jiu has to admit that the spirit she shows is completely different from that of an ordinary old woman, holding a brown-red wooden staff, wearing a valuable cloth robe, not to mention her waist, her eyes are brighter than that of young people, just standing there, she can naturally give people a strange sense of oppression.
Could it be the same existence as the mourning crow and that Ruan Qingyu?
An old man of this age can show such a posture, to say that there is no interference with extraordinary ability, Lu Jiu does not believe it.
"The Demon Beast that doesn't enter the stream...... It's actually a weasel, which is a bit interesting, 30 silver dollars, I took it, put it on the counter, and the money was taken by the people below. ”
The old woman didn't talk to the two of them, but just glanced at the bamboo cage in Lu Jiu's hand, and said straightforwardly.
The weasel, which was still bouncing a second ago, was completely silent at this time, Lu Jiu lifted the black cloth and found that it was shrinking in a corner, trembling.
"30 silver dollars, but I spent two gold leaves. ”
At first hearing the old woman's offer, Yin Yue's eyes widened and she fell into self-doubt.
"We're not here to sell demon beasts, it's raised by this young lady, it's just that she has suddenly gone crazy recently, not only is she not obedient, but she also hurts other people, she just wants to correct this state,. Of course, the young lady was more than willing to pay a sum of money for it. ”
Lu Jiu took a few steps forward, put the bamboo cage on the counter, and turned around to signal Yin Yue to come over quickly.
"There aren't many people who come to me to treat monsters. ”
As she spoke, the old woman walked to the back of the window, raised her hand and knocked on the glass on it, and directly opened the cage and lifted the weasel over, who did not even dare to scream threateningly at this time, but just drooped into a ball of soft flesh and let the old woman knead it.
Lu Jiu found that her palms were not skinny like other old people, they looked extraordinarily powerful, and the tiger's mouth and the second knuckle of the index finger had obvious calluses, obviously a person who held a knife all year round.
With a room full of demon beast corpse organs, coupled with the hand that holds the knife all the year round, Lu Jiu immediately realized what she was planning to do when she spent 30 silver dollars to buy a weasel just now, and it was no wonder that the weasel who was struggling desperately in her hands before didn't even have the heart to resist in her hands.
It's hopeless.
"Heh, this weasel has been specially bred by people, and the stench that was originally used to poison people has become a fragrance that can confuse people, and you rely on it to seduce men?"
Fiddling left and right twice, the old woman did not shy away from Lu Jiu's man at all, and no matter how embarrassed Yin Yue's expression was, she continued,
"You must have committed this beast's taboo somewhere, either it's too late to make offerings, or you want to harm it, you should be glad that you have a weasel, this animal is still a little spiritual, you know that it's not easy to do it yourself, just change to another monster, I'm afraid the grass on your grave should be cleaned up...... Ordinary people dare to raise demon beasts, and they think they have a long life?"
"I used to be very busy for two days because of the competition for the Oiran, and I forgot to make an offering to Wong Tai Sin, and then because of an accident in the building, I secretly put rat poison in the offering bowl last night, can you help me, I am willing to pay 30 silver dollars, as long as it continues to be obedient!"
Speaking of this, Yin Yue knew that there was no point in continuing to hide it, so she simply said it.
Lu Jiu now understood the source of the smell he had smelled at the inn the night before, and why this weasel suddenly wanted to kill this woman who usually served it to eat and drink.
"You yourself say that it is Wong Tai Sin, when it is a kitten and puppy raised by your family, it is the most grudge against the weasel that has become a fine weasel, don't look at its current appearance of being slaughtered, in fact, I have long hated you in my heart, just now he was pressing, so I didn't dare to make a mistake, when it was really time to be alone with you, you will understand how fierce this animal is!"
Pointing to Lu Jiu, who was not speaking next to her, the old woman suddenly seemed to think of something, and turned her head to look at the former with the weasel,
"You don't look like someone who will be affected by this kind of unpopular goods, and I can see that you two don't know each other at all, so what is your purpose in bringing someone here?"
"Of course, you only come when you ask for something. ”
Lu Jiu was surprised by the old woman's carefulness, but he said with a smile.
