Chapter 3: The Night Banquet of the Hundred Ghosts
"What about Sansheng Stone, what about Meng Po Bridge, what the hell is Huangquan Road, what the hell is this place!" Su Youbai looked at the scene and object in front of him in a daze.
The boatman ignored these two rare and strange neurotics, and said to himself: "It's still here in three days, send me money." ”
After saying that, he shook the pulp and rowed away, really not taking away a single cloud.
Leaving Xiao Su and the others looking at each other, they dared to love that the boatman was not afraid of the two of them defaulting on their debts.
Turning his head and looking ahead, there is a market in his eyes, a market that is very noisy with crowds, this is no problem, but the problem is that this is not the yang world, but the yin division!
Looking at the people coming and going in front of them, no, it can't be ghosts, Xiao Lang and Su Youbai didn't know what to do for a while.
I'm really inexperienced!
"I said, where are we going next?" Su Youbai stammered and asked Xiao Lang.
Xiao Lang looked at himself, and then looked at the "everyone" in front of him, and didn't find any difference, and was a little confused, if this time they let the two of them fight with the ghost soldiers, it would be easy to do, but now you can't really listen to the boatman's words, let's grab enough two hundred gold with real knives and guns first.
After listening to Su Youbai's question, although Xiao Lang also had no ideas, he should still have experience, at least he could think that he was "going deep behind enemy lines", so he replied directly: "We have to find out where this is first." ”
Xiao Lang thought for a while, and added: "Even if we can't figure out if this is a ghost road or not, and if there is a way back, at least we need to know where this market is." ”
After speaking, Xiao Lang was just about to move forward. was suddenly pulled back by Su Youbai. Xiao Lang just wanted to ask what was going on. Seeing Su Youbai's expression of disbelief, he pointed to the front and said, "Look, what the hell is that?" ”
Xiao Lang looked in the direction of his finger, and was also taken aback, only to see a guy whose figure was no different from that of a normal person, but there were six pairs of eyes the size of ordinary people on his head. He is no different from ordinary people, he is still bargaining with people in front of a hawker's stall, and when he talks about his blushing face and thick neck, two pairs of eyes grow from his neck, and there is a big momentum that Lao Tzu wants to stare at you with his eyes.
Xiao Su and the others swallowed their saliva very much, although the cultivation of the two of them is here, it stands to reason that they are not afraid of any demons and monsters, not to mention that with the experience of the two of them, it is not that they have never seen any demons and monsters, but in such a busy city. Watching this monster that is obviously not an "ordinary person" living like an ordinary person, I intuitively have an indescribable sense of weirdness.
But look closer. It turned out that the peddler was not an ordinary person, he had a huge eye on his forehead, and he directly occupied all his forehead, and there was almost no whites in one eye, all of them were jet-black pupils, and there was a big mouth on his chin. In addition, this round face has no facial features, just like a lump of white dough.
"No, what the hell is this?" Su Youbai exclaimed.
Xiao Lang also greatly increased his knowledge, and then looked around carefully, only to find that it turned out that the two of them looked the same as the two of them - no more and no less - but only about a third, and the honor of the rest of the people was like God and his old man dozed off when he created people, and he casually glued various materials together.
Fortunately, there are still many people who look normal, otherwise they have to highlight the abnormality of the two of them, and there are many of them wearing masks, and they also have what they look like, in comparison, Xiao Lang's wolf ghost face is really nothing.
Xiao Su and the two of them couldn't take a step for a long time, they really didn't know where to go, at this moment, a guy with six arms ran straight towards the two, Rao is two of them had a certain psychological preparation for these monsters, but suddenly saw such a "thousand-armed Guanyin" towards their own killers, the two of them still subconsciously prepared to defend.
"Calm, calm!" As soon as the six-handed monster saw the person take out his weapon, he did not panic, obviously he had already experienced something similar, and while saying a ridiculous "calm" in his mouth, he raised all six hands high above his head.
It seems that this gesture is universal everywhere.
Xiao Su and the others didn't come to find trouble, since the other party showed goodwill, the two of them couldn't use their swords anymore, and at the same time withdrew their weapons, Xiao Lang asked, "I don't know what this brother is looking for us?" ”
This "brother" is also very awkward, placed in the yang world, if there is such a brother, he will really be beaten to death by someone, but here, it is really commonplace, and the bad people have good facial features and kind eyebrows.
"Hey, hey, objective, this brother doesn't dare to be, the small one is to ask, whether the two of you live in the hotel or hit the tip, our Fulai Inn is a time-honored brand here, just four words, feel at home, you can inquire about it, speaking of our Fulai Inn, who is not a thumbs up." Six hands is a face of humility and respect, full of the second tone, when introducing their own business, the mouth is called a smooth.
Xiao Su and the others saw that there was a tablecloth on this guy's shoulder, but their attention was on the arm of the person, and they didn't pay attention.
Since it was Xiao Er, the two of them also breathed a sigh of relief, and Su Youbai immediately said: "No need......"
"No, we're sharp." Xiao Lang immediately changed his words.
"This ...... Aren't the two of you together? The six-handed little two were obviously stunned, not knowing what to hear.
Su Youbai was not stupid, and immediately understood what Xiao Lang meant, the two of them had no relatives or friends here, and they had no reason to be old, and they urgently needed all the information here, and the inn was the easiest place to get news after all.
Inns, teahouses, restaurants, and brothels are all distribution centers for gossip, which is common sense in the mundane world, and since there is this thing here, it is probably similar to the inn in the mundane world, Su Youbai almost forgot about it.
"It's together, but I just want to ask how much it costs to eat a meal at your inn first?" It was the first time in Xiao Lang's life that he asked the price before eating. No way. Let's not mention that I still owe the boatman 200 gold. Just talking about the ferry fee of this boatman, Xiao Lang has to be cautious and cautious, God knows if it will cost a few hundred gold to eat a meal.
But this is obviously something that only poor people would ask, and the face of the six-handed Xiaoer immediately turned cold, and he said in his heart, how could these two masters, who are either rich or noble, be so poor and sour.
Xiao Lang's clothes looked ordinary, but they were not the Taoist robes of the Daomen disciples, but were given by Princess Linglong herself. The price of this little er's eyesight is far from being comparable to that of ordinary people, and it can naturally be seen that it is not an ordinary product, and similarly, Su Youbai, as a closed disciple of the head of Yingtian Academy, no matter how simple he is, it is not cheap.
However, the professional ethics of the six-handed junior are still no problem, although his tone is cold, but the question that should be answered is still not missing, and he said: "A bowl of Yangchun noodles, three pennies, this is the cheapest food in this store." ”
"So cheap?" Su Youbai subconsciously said it.
But in the ears of the six-handed junior, it sounded like a backword. Immediately dissatisfied: "If you are still too expensive, ah." The He Ji noodle shop over there, two pennies a bowl. ”
"Two bowls of Yangchun noodles, a pound of sauced beef, and a pot of soju, so decided." Xiao Lang immediately said.
Xiao Er looked at Xiao Lang suspiciously, as if he was questioning whether Xiao Lang had enough ability to pay.
Xiao Lang is an old Jianghu, and immediately threw the six-handed Xiao Eryi ingot silver.
Xiao Er's face immediately became respectful again, smiling like a master in the face-changing world, and immediately yelled at the store more than ten meters away behind him: "Two distinguished guests, two bowls of Yangchun noodles, a pound of sauced beef, and a pot of burning knives, please here!" ”
After roaring this throat, the six-handed Xiao Er also quietly bit the silver ingot, which weighed fifty taels, and after confirming that it was true, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
There is a saying that money can make ghosts grind, and this old saying seems to be really good.
Su Youbai pulled Xiao Lang, as if he was an old man who had been diligent and thrifty all his life, and suddenly learned that his son of a loser had bought him a pair of sandalwood coffins, and he was distressed, and complained to Xiao Lang a little: "Where did you get so much money, and we still owe debts outside, you are good, it is fifty taels, you just threw it into the water." ”
In fact, Xiao Lang is quite wealthy, at least if he is the only one who is still in such a ghost place, he can still pay the 100 gold for the boat fare, after all, he still ate a big family in the garment shop of Yanting car, but Xiao Lang definitely can't ignore Su Youbai, and since the boatman is still "honest" and doesn't calculate interest, there is no difference between owing 100 gold and owing 200 gold.
Xiao Lang smiled at Su Youbai and said, "It's not that people don't look for money, besides, fifty taels of silver is only half a gold, and you can still expect to rely on this half gold to repay your debts." ”
"You don't understand," Su Youbai said to Xiao Lang with the attitude that I had come over, "How can there be money in this world that can be returned?" Especially in a place like the inn Qinglou, the turtle is eager to take out every bit of silver on your body. For example, if you were talking about a pot of soju, it will directly become a burning knife in the mouth of the little er, in fact, the taste is almost the same, but the price has doubled, this is estimated to be because this store is small, otherwise dare to directly call you a pot of burning Du Kang. ”
Xiao Lang couldn't cry or laugh: "I really don't have as much experience as you in this area, do I have to call you when I go back to visit the kiln." ”
Su Youbai accidentally revealed his old bottom, but his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said righteously: "Of course." ”
"Then you say, if we ask him something later, we will give them a little bit of loose silver, and you see if he is willing to take care of us." Xiao Lang replied.
Su Youbai was silent at that time, but he didn't expect this weight.
The two of them walked into this inn with the six-handed little two, the door of the Fulai Inn is not big, only two people are allowed to go side by side, but it can be said that there is a hole in the sky, but it is not much different from the restaurant inn in the mortal world, and the decoration can neither be considered elegant nor vulgar.
There are also three or five tables of diners, eating and drinking deliciously, and from time to time there are people who come in to stay, it seems that this inn is really good, at least not a black shop.
Xiao Su and the others found a secluded corner and sat down, and after a while, the little two brought the food over.
Having six arms is convenient in the end, this little two doesn't need to use anything else at all, two bowls, one plate, two plates, and one pot are directly taken by him at once. Because of the generosity of the shot. The second child also gave two dishes of side dishes. The red, red, green and green, not like cabbage and radish or anything like that, are probably a specialty here.
The two of them had something to ask, but suddenly they didn't know where to speak, so they didn't open their mouths and said, "We are from the yang world, may I ask where the treasure land is."
I had to eat some food first, and discuss it by the way.
The two of them picked up the Yangchun noodles in front of them, which tasted really good. Although the realm of Xiao Su and the others is not as good as Bigu, they have long lost their simple appetite, and if they didn't smell the fragrance of their faces, no one would move their chopsticks.
In other words, Yangchun noodles are actually clear soup noodles, except for the cheap price, there are really no characteristics to say, but this family's Yangchun noodles look at the soup thick and white, and the noodles are evenly thick, obviously there is real kung fu in it.
Su Youbai picked up a pair of chopsticks first, ate them, and didn't forget to praise them: "It's really good." The taste is really good, I didn't expect to be able to eat such delicious pasta here. ”
Xiao Lang was not in the mood to eat. just poured himself a glass of wine, and then said to Su Youbai: "Maybe it's really troublesome this time." ”
Su Youbai didn't keep up with Xiao Lang's train of thought, he didn't bother to think about it, and asked directly: "There are more troublesome things, which stubble are you talking about?" ”
Xiao Lang said: "If the Yangchun noodles here are also a bowl of 100 gold, it will be much easier." ”
Su Youbai threw the chopsticks directly and said, "Are you crazy or am I crazy." ”
"Think about it, if a bowl of noodles is worth 100 gold, then maybe it's not a big problem for us to get together 200 gold, for example, the jade pendant on your belt is worth a thousand gold if you put it here." Xiao Lang said.
Su Youbai directly covered the jade pendant, and hurriedly said: "You don't have the idea of fighting it, I would rather take the Guiyi Sword as a pawn, besides, even if it is placed in the yang world, my jade pendant is far more than a thousand taels of gold." ”
Immediately, he also pondered what Xiao Lang meant, if the price here is not much different from that of the mortal world, then it is really a big problem for them to scrape together two hundred gold in only three days.
"Brother Su Gaoyi, since this is the case, then let's find a pawnshop and give your Guiyi Sword later." Xiao Lang said with a smile.
Su Youbai is obviously just talking, how to say that the Guiyi Sword is also a symbol of Yingtian Academy, not to mention that it should be lost, it is lost, and he Su Youbai may have to die in front of the head to apologize.
"Don't don't, if there is a pawnshop here, it's even better, I have a lot of valuable things on me." Su Youbai said, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of noodles: "The Yangchun noodles in this house are really authentic, and they even give a braised egg." ”
Su Youbai said, then he picked up the braised egg, and just as he was about to put his mouth down, he was suddenly beaten away by Xiao Lang.
"What are you doing?" Su Youbai was puzzled: "Although you have money, it's not such a waste, I still want to taste the difference between this braised egg in the underworld and the mortal world." ”
Xiao Lang took a few deep breaths, pushed aside the bowl of Yangchun noodles in front of him, and considered his words before saying to Su Youbai cautiously, "You really want to know?" ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense, I was slapped by you when I ate well, of course I want to know what kind of madness you are doing." Su Youbai was even more puzzled, and said in his heart why the wolf ghost demon monarch suddenly became inexplicable, and his face was serious.
"Then I also gave you this bowl of Yangchun noodles, turn it over before you eat it, and see what that braised egg is." Xiao Lang had already foreseen what Su Youbai would do after knowing the truth.
"Braised eggs, what else can it be." Su Youbai replied with an indifferent face, but he still used chopsticks to turn over Xiao Lang's bowl of Yangchun noodles first, found the braised eggs and looked at it.
,2,3……
Su Youbai was stunned for three seconds, and directly threw the so-called boiled egg away with a chopstick, and immediately lay aside and vomited.
What kind of boiled egg is that, it's clearly a human eye!
Xiao Lang sighed, fortunately, this Su Youbai still has a normal reaction, at least it means that there is no poison in Yangchun noodles.
Seeing this, the six-handed junior immediately ran over and hurriedly asked, "This guest officer, what's wrong with you." ”
There was still white water flowing from the corners of Su Youbai's mouth, this spit was dark, and he almost didn't spit out the bile, so it was easy to speak, Su Youbai stammered: "Black... Shop... Homicide. ”
After hearing this, the six-handed Xiaoer's face immediately drooped, and his tone was not angry, and he said: "Guest officer, this meal can be eaten indiscriminately, but words cannot be said indiscriminately, not to mention that our Fulai Inn is a golden signboard for decades, and it is absolutely impossible to be a black shop, just say that we can't afford this murder charge." ”
Su Youbai Qiang held back his nausea, picked up the eyeballs on the ground, and asked the other party: "Then what is this?" ”
"Halogen eyes."
The understatement of the six-handed Xiaoer's answer also made the last trace of "extravagance" in Su Youbai's heart disappear, and he originally thought about whether this thing would be a bull's eye or something.
"Since it's a human eye, then you still say that this is not a black shop here!" Su Youbai is really angry, looking at the posture, if this six-handed junior doesn't give him a satisfactory answer, he can directly pull out his sword and slaughter this Dragon Gate Inn.
Xiao Er smiled slightly, and replied: "The guest officer is really good at telling jokes, so if you say so, don't eat that sauce beef, we not only killed people, but also killed cows." ”
Su Youbai said angrily: "How can this be the same! ”
"How is this different," the six-handed junior said dissatisfiedly: "Originally, the two of them were generous, and the shopkeeper added this good thing to you, who knows that you don't know what to do, and you have wronged us for being a black shop." Phew, it's really unlucky, you vomited all over the place, and you still don't want us to do business. ”
Not only Su Youbai, but even Xiao Lang was stunned, originally thinking that since the other party dared to put people's eyes into the noodles so openly, there must be some special customs, but they didn't expect this little two to give them an answer that was not the answer.
Only then did the two of them remember to look at the dining table around them, they really didn't know if they didn't know it, and their scalps were numb when they saw it, how could there be a "normal" dish on the dining table of these guests, not to mention the strange shapes, just like the parts on a human body, I don't know how many.
At that moment, there was a diner with a pig's head, holding a human hand and nibbling with relish.
Then look at the signature dishes hanging in the lobby of the inn: wolf heart and dog lungs, peach blossoms with human faces, wild vegetables in yellow springs, red ears and red ......
The first few dishes are not so straightforward, and at most they are a little different from the names of the dishes in the yang world, but the names of the dishes in the back are thrilling to read: sour and spicy intestines, braised people's hands, and three meals with human eyes......
What the hell is this black shop, it's a place to eat people! (To be continued......)
