Chapter 7: The Old Man Comes
Usually no one comes to the Silent Pavilion, but occasionally patronizes one or two dusty psychics or lonely souls, most of them come here to look at the cold faΓ§ade, there are no people, and the cost of repairing magic weapons or other things will not be very high.
Some of the spirits that have the Tao even look like ordinary people, and some can also shuttle between the yin and yang worlds. Of course, the premise is that you can't disturb the order of yin and yang, otherwise it's not just as simple as going down to the eighteen layers of hell.
The courtyard was a little cold...... However, Fuze doesn't care about this.
He had already made a plan, he must go to the Ancient Land of Ten Thousand Desolations, and those two ghosts could help him resist the illusion attack in the poisonous fog when they went together.
If they can't spare time, they don't suffer if they ask for more.
Although they promised to give themselves an idle job, but in the gloomy place of the Hades Palace, who knows what kind of idle job they do, in case it doesn't go their way, there must be a way back.
Fu Ze sat on the chair behind the counter and crossed Erlang's legs, humming the "exorcism tune" that he had forgotten where he heard it, and his eyes were empty on the small mound in front of the door.
Gradually, the little mound moved.
Fu Ze rubbed his eyes, and when he rubbed his eyes, there was a figure in front of the door, vague, and he could vaguely see that he was lying on his back and his hair was gray, like an old man who was dying.
When a guest comes, he will receive it no matter what kind of business, and whether he does business or not has the final say.
Fu Ze stepped forward and greeted warmly:
"I wonder why your guests are coming? Is it to seek a talisman or to find someone? β
The old man tried to straighten his waist, but in the end he could only straighten up slightly and make a hoarse voice: "Oh? Can you still find someone here? It's the first time I've heard of it. β
Fu Ze smiled lightly.
After the old man finished asking, he didn't stop, as if he knew that the young man wouldn't explain too much, and continued: "Old man, I originally wanted to come to repair the weapon, but the repairer doesn't seem to be in the shop, so I'll come back next time." β
After that, turn around.
Coincidentally, the repairer came back at this time.
There was no joy or anger on Liudaozi's face, and Fu Ze stepped forward to stab the old man.
"Hey, the repairer is back, it's better to come early than to come at a good time, hahaha."
The ethereal soul's eyes widened, and this seemingly unremarkable boy could touch his soul body so clearly.
Such a big soul pestle is here, and Liu Daozi noticed it before he reached the door.
Liu Daozi carefully observed the old man, his soul was weak but not to the point of dispersing his soul, and it was not like being injured by a magic weapon, let alone being frustrated by a living soul. The soul is clean, unpolluted by resentment and evil spirits.
The people who greet the silent pavilion have always been people with stories.
The short sword that was covered with battle scars before, it was only through his master's extraordinary experience that he had the opportunity to be repaired by Liudaozi. It is said that when the sword master knew that Rokudaozi wanted to listen to his story, he almost didn't explain how many socks he was carrying.
Of course, not everyone's story. This master is willing to listen.
However, based on the old man's current condition, he didn't need to say anything, and Liudaozi had already decided to invite people to the house for a detailed discussion.
After entering the house, then this old man's request, nine times out of ten, Liudaozi will not refuse.
After entering the house, Fu Ze moved a chair for the old man to sit down, of course, the chair of the underworld is not an ordinary chair in the world, and the soul body can be touched.
Fuzawa found a place and pricked up his ears to listen to the story. In the past, when he didn't have to go out, he would help out here, and when he was lucky, Liudaozi would throw him a few talismans that were not of great use.
But before the story came, he was coaxed out by Liudaozi.
Before Fu Ze could react, the door was rudely closed by Liudaozi.
Fuzawa: "...... huh?" What's the situation?
Through the door, before Fu Ze could shout, the six daozi inside arranged a place for him to go.
"You go to those two ghosts, and let them go with you to pick five capsules for me, remember to get more, and I can make more wine."
Fuze: "Can't I finish listening!" Just listen for a moment! β
"Cub, have you forgotten what day tomorrow is? In a few hours they will return, so why don't you hurry up and ask them where they are going!" What are you going to do! There's also the matter of going to the Ancient Land of Ten Thousand Desolations! β
Fu Ze's mind immediately appeared with the appearance of Liudaozi blowing his beard and staring, although Liudaozi did not grow a beard.
"If you don't want to hear it, just say it. Hey, I'm leaving. β
"Stinky boy, wait until you come back to see me and I won't kill you." Liudaozi's fist clenched, and he couldn't wait to give Fu Ze a fist now.
Seeing this, the old man stroked his beard and smiled: "Hahahaha, I didn't expect adults to have such a true temperament......"
"Don't call me an adult, just call me Liudaozi."
The old man was slightly stunned, and he ......
Then he changed his words: "Master Liudaozi, fortunately, fortunately." β
Liudaozi: "Shou Lao, what are you here for?" It's all old friends, and you've always been so respectful to me, but it's a lot more alienating. β
This old man, known as Shou Lao, has known Liudaozi for many years. The relationship between the two is not bad.
Shou Lao: "This time, I came to find the master of the Six Dao Sect to repair the weapon. It is said to be a device, but it cannot be called a ritual instrument; It's not the one that was repaired this time. β
Liudaozi: "Oh? Is that? β
Shou Lao's illusory figure shook, looking extremely unstable, as if it was about to dissipate silently in the next second. He stretched out his right hand and took out a palm-sized gold thread bag on a black background from his sleeve.
In addition to the luxurious appearance, there is nothing special about this bag.
Slowly flattening the bag, Shou Lao said again: "This is a blessing bag, which contains a wisp of remnant soul." I, entrusted by others, was responsible for repairing, but I finally made myself like this, but this remnant soul is getting worse day by day. I'm afraid that one day, I will be entrusted by others, so I will turn to Master Liudaozi for help. β
Liu Daozi was puzzled: "By whom?" This soul is mutilated like this, I'm afraid it is...... Difficult. β
Shou Lao: "I don't know how to be old, if it is entrusted by others, I will definitely push it, who loves is unlucky; But it's ...... Alas, knowing that you don't want to see us, the old man didn't intend to come to you in the first place, and he came here in desperation. β
Liu Daozi raised his head suddenly: "Again, he?" β
Shou Lao nodded helplessly.
Liudaozi: "I'll try my best, you put down your things, and hurry back to nourish your soul!" How can you be so confused and do such a dangerous thing. β
In order to prevent his soul from being too strong and injuring the remnant soul, Shou Lao used secret techniques to weaken his strength, causing the enemy to be unable to resist when he came to the door, and now he is extremely weak.
Shou Lao said gratefully: "Thank you Master Liudaozi, the old man is here to say goodbye to my lord." β
Shou Lao knew in his heart that he was so weak now, if those people in his palace knew about it, he might not know what chaos would happen.
"Hurry up and recuperate your body, there is a chance for our brothers to have a good drink, I haven't drunk with anyone for a long time until I am drunk and dreaming of death." It's a pity that I don't have much wine left, but it should still be okay to endure an all-you-can-drink.
Hearing that Liudaozi was going to drink with him, Shou Lao frowned, and was about to say goodbye, when he heard Liudaozi say:
"It's a pity that I don't have much of the five capsules left. Otherwise, I'll have to give you a few jars to take back and give everyone to taste! β
The three big characters of "five capsules" are like a big hammer, and they hit the head of Shou Lao Baihuahua with a "bang". That wine, only Liudaozi drank it happily.
Five, the wine of the capsule, can it be unpleasant? That's super invincible!
Frightened, Shou Lao hurriedly said goodbye, and left without stopping.
The remaining Liudaozi was alone, looking at the bag in his hand, his eyes looked through it, and he didn't know where to look......
β¦β¦
Besides, Fu Ze was locked out of the door, so he could only obediently look for those two ghosts.
After entering the Baoshan Building, the two of them were still there.
As soon as Fu Ze entered the door, he greeted Yu Liang.
Fu Ze plans to spend Halloween and go to the Ancient Land with Yu Liang and them.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he forgave him and said that he had just received a summons, and the reincarnation hall master was not there on Halloween, and the follow-up affairs were thrown to the deputy hall master and the chief secretary, and Shang Si like them couldn't escape.
Therefore, the meaning of forgiveness is to let Fuze find five capsules for them, and the conditions are open for Fuze.
The three of them discussed the time of a stick of incense and reached a consensus.
Fuzawa is in charge of the five capsules that Fuzawa needs, and Yuzawa provides the position of Fuzawa Reincarnation Division and promises to do one thing for Fuzawa.
Yu Liang expressed his hope that Fuzawa could act as soon as possible, and Fuzawa originally decided to set off after the Midyear Festival, and the two hit it off.
After that, Yu Liang left in a hurry with Si Liang.
Tomorrow, the fifteenth day of the seventh month, commonly known as the Ghost Festival, is the day when all ghosts return to the sun, and it is also one of the three important festivals in the underworld.
Fu Ze was the only one left, guarding a table of offerings, and after a little thought, he came to eat.
No matter what the offerings are, you can't be sorry for the food, there is no auxiliary teleportation charm these days, you can't go to the world, and these foods can't be eaten for the time being.
After eating and drinking, he used the Qiankun bag to collect the pastries and fruits that could be taken away, and Fu Ze swaggered out of the treasure house.
Halloween, some ghosts are busy. This busy, to say the least, has to have seven or eight days, but there is no hurry. When you get back the five capsules, you will go to Liudaozi to exchange a few auxiliary teleportation charms and use them first. After Halloween, the crowd of people in the world didn't know what to look like in a panic.
β¦β¦
"Ah Qi! I told you not to go to the remnant stream, don't go to the remnant stream, I just didn't listen, now it's okay, there's only one head left, where do you say I'm throwing you! β
"Ahem, I haven't heard of ...... yet"
"Shut up, it's all weak like this!"
ββ¦β¦β
Remnants? Sounds familiar......
Fu Ze intuitively wanted to see the remnants of the stream, and as soon as he turned his head, he witnessed a "miserable" picture:
A dark green python with half of its tail missing, holding a fox's head with its remaining half of its tail, chattered as it went.
Don't look at it, it only has half a tail left, but it doesn't walk slowly at all.
Fu Ze was stunned to barely keep up with them by walking fast and trotting.
Along the way, the little snake was reprimanding the little fox...... of the head.
"It's okay now, we're both crippled, and recently there have been rumors around that evil remnant stream, why are you, just going there at this time!"
"Originally, I was the only crippled, but you can do it, go to the remnant stream, and there is only one head left to come back to see me."
"That leopard ghost is going to say that the two of us are 'double cruel and ferocious', are you happy to have another nickname!"
The little fox snuggled his head and remained silent.
Later, the snake asked him what he had encountered in the remnant stream of the ghost, but the little fox could not say a word.
Later, the little snake asked a few more questions, but the little fox still didn't say anything.
In the end, he just weakly called out "Ah Yuan......".
When the little snake saw that he had asked so many questions, the little fox didn't answer, so he had to give up.
"Okay, I won't ask, don't look at me so pitifully."
The little fox's head happily licked and circled its snake tail.
Two mutilated imps, bleak streets, every word.
Fuze was speechless all the way.
