The sun sets silently in the west, and day is replaced by night. S city, as a coastal first-tier city, since the founding of New China, rapid development, seize new opportunities, prosperity has become its new synonym, the lights are on, busy day office workers into the largest entertainment area of S city in groups, shining neon lights will be reflected here bright half of the sky, at the junction of black and 'white', a shop called Dark Spirit seems to be very deserted, very different from the surrounding bustle, and even a little out of place.
In this small but not small shop, in addition to the cluttered counter and a container, there are also two retro tables and chairs, and if you look closely, a big black cat curls up on the sofa and snorts and sleeps, and a pot of pothos is wilting and withering in the glass window near the street, which is in stark contrast to the wisteria orchids that hover and bloom above.
And the owner of this shop was lying on the rocking chair in the counter at this time, sleeping deeply, and from time to time made a slight snoring sound, a gust of wind blew, and the purple gold wind chimes at the door shook slightly, but it was not a crisp and pleasant sound, but like a ghost crying wolf, heavy and deafening. The black cat, who was originally asleep on the sofa, suddenly opened its purple and green pupils, and quickly ran to the side of the bronze statue of the ancestor and Guan Erye in the house, looked at the door vigilantly, and meowed at his master.
"Hmm~~ Do you have any needs for the guests?" The fat boss in the white coat was about forty years old, stretched his waist and sat up from the rocking chair, waved to the cat to signal that he didn't need to bark anymore, took the pu fan on the side and fanned the wind, who knew that a fan of wind was a burst of mist, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, he threw the fan aside, and said to the air. "Pop!" a black stone landed on the counter out of thin air, and a quick flash of light was seen, and a series of wet footprints stretched from the doorway to the counter, but there was no half figure, but the humidity in the air seemed to rise.
"This is indeed a good thing, but I am not here to help you people who have died in vain to avenge it!" The fat boss carefully picked up the black stone with a pair of brass tweezers, turned on the lamp on the counter, watched it carefully for a while, and then put the stone back, shaking his head at the air, this is the world, murder is illegal, he also has his rules, although this life is not valuable, but it is not worth it for a stone. Sometimes passers-by will notice this small shop, but from the outside, it looks like the fat boss is talking to himself, and his behavior is very weird, and the people who engage in it are discouraged.
"But I have another way!" the boss seemed reluctant to give up the stone, thought for a while, and took out two yellow talismans folded and threaded with red thread from the messy container behind him, "This is the dream talisman, one is used on your relatives and ask them to help you find the body, tell the police, as for the other one, it's up to you!" The boss handed it the talisman and turned around and poured a cup of tea from his teacup with a new quilt and placed it in front of it, their cultivators can't break the rules of the human world, but they didn't say that they can't help those unjust souls in another way. "Your ghost is unstable, drink this cup of Qingxu tea, remember, come to me in seven days, I will send you to reincarnation, otherwise your soul will be scattered and become a speck of dust in this world. After the fat boss saw that it accepted the yellow talisman, he quickly put the black spirit stone into his ring. "Guest, everything in the world has cause and effect, if you can let go of everything, you will definitely have an epiphany first!" As the purple gold bell rang again at the door, everything in the room returned to calm, and the black cat also jumped down from it, cocking its tail, and rubbing it at the feet of the fat boss.
The fat boss took out a special purple sand bowl mixed with fragrant tea and put it in front of the two bronze statues that were enshrined, "Master Zu, Guan Erye blesses, disciple Dong Li has given you a greeting!"
"It's time to call it a day today!" Anyway, it is estimated that there is no business at such a late hour, the fat boss walked to the door, looking at the lively scene outside, I really don't know what to be happy about, his eyes inadvertently fell on the pothos at his feet, looked at the flourishing wisteria orchid and shook his head, squatted down and pulled out the wisteria orchid from the pothos pot to absorb the roots of pothos nutrients, "Stay in your own territory." "It's really not restless at all, doesn't it mean contentment?
ripped off the roots of the wisteria orchid, and the pothos that was about to wither turned out to be normal in an instant, green and cute, shaking his leaves at the fat boss, expressing gratitude.
"Ao~~~~" The sharp arrow pierced the air, nailed to the counter behind the fat boss when he was about to stand up, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling, so frightened that the black cat on the sofa was shocked. "What kind of person? my Qing Dynasty Huanghuali!" The fat boss chased to the door, looked left and right and didn't find any suspicious characters, and shouted at the street, whose bear child is so ignorant.
"Ah Yu~~~~~~~" The messenger who was flying with Edgeworth had an itchy nose, a sneeze came out, and he almost fell off the sword, who was thinking about him, so indiscriminately, he was working, and there were many people who didn't notice it.
The fat boss hated it but didn't find a suspicious character, he pulled out the arrow, and there was an invitation tied to it, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a notice of the Taoist Conference, he forgot, this year it was the time when the Dragon and Tiger Sect held the Taoist Conference, three years passed in a flash, time is really fast, after a sigh, he put away the invitation, closed the door and prepared to go home to sleep.
Behind this bustling street, there is a dark alley, full of debris and swill, and few people usually pass by, "Don't come..... I beg you, don't come...... Don't!" The sexy-dressed girl crawled on the ground with difficulty, her mouth making a faint call, her hands and feet trembling constantly, at this time she only hoped that someone would pass by here or that this demon would be kind enough to let her go, and the phantom behind her would not be afraid of her screaming, so she kept following her.
After a while, there was no more crying, she lay on her back in the garbage heap, her hair was messy, her clothes were dusty, the blood under her body stretched into the distance, her face was pale, she looked frightened, she was no longer breathing, but there was a large hole in her chest, which went straight through her chest, but she was sure that her heart had been taken out.
