Not to mention that there is a world in the belly of this little broken stack.

I didn't expect an old house that looked crumbling from the outside to be so clean in its internal structure.

A few spotless wooden tables were neatly arranged in the hall, and behind the counter at the back was a jar of clay wine tied with red cloth, which was reflected in the red shadow of the half-bright dim light on the yellow wall.

The old man walked a few steps to the counter before her, and pulled up the abacus as he asked her, "Stay until tomorrow night?" Detached house or cabinet house? ”

Qi Weinan was asked with a confused face, but she didn't want the old man to laugh at her for not being knowledgeable, so she didn't know how to pretend to understand, and pretended to be pretentious, "The master will leave early tomorrow morning, live, live in a single house!" ”

Even if she didn't understand what a single-family house and a cabinet house were, it was obvious that a single-family house sounded more upscale, so she naturally chose it!

But unexpectedly, the words he said made the old man stop the movements in his hands, raised his eyes and said, "Little Taoist, those who do our business are day and night, don't you know?" Also, are you sure you live in a single-family house? ”

was asked by the old man again, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart, a thought filled her brain, could it be that this lonely house was some kind of evil room, so he asked himself so cautiously?

"Then that, bring me a cabinet house for the master." Qi Weinan was timid, and finally changed his words.

The old man shook his head and hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, lowered his head, and then dialed up the abacus, "How long will I live, have you thought about it?" ”

"Just stay one night!"

Qi Weinan has always been a stubborn temper that you let her go east and she go west, not to mention that she is not rich in money, and she is a debt-ridden "negative generation", if you live until the sun sets tomorrow before setting off, how much will it cost! Don't do it, don't do it, never do it!

The old man was helpless, and once again opened his mouth to persuade him, "Little Taoist, doing our job is an obscure job, and it is too easy to run into passers-by during the day!" Besides, if you are unlucky, you will encounter the evil way of refining the living dead, and you will be captured! Harm others and yourself! ”

Facing this old man who was more verbose than his father, Qi Weinan subconsciously pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, "Who came out to catch the corpse in broad daylight." Unexpectedly, no matter how low the voice was, it could not escape the old man's ears.

He slapped the table in anger, and angrily scolded her, "Who are you learning from?" I don't know the rules at all! These corpses entrusted to you follow such an irresponsible chaser as you, it's really unlucky to die! ”

Qi Weinan is also a master who can read his face, seeing that this old man was so angry that he breathed in his nose, he hurriedly poured a cup of tea for him and held it in front of him with both hands.

"Uncle, don't be angry, I'm also rushing for the first time, I don't understand the truth and things that need to be taboo, or can you tell me about it?"

The old man saw that the boy in front of him was still a little awe-inspiring, and there was a little politeness, so he took the tea in her hand, took a few sips, and softened his tone with her.

"These evil Taoists, at the very beginning, used their own blood to nourish the living dead, although they can protect themselves from corpses, but after all, this is a kind of evil art that violates the principles of heaven, and over time, the body will be more or less invaded by yin qi. And in order to resist the cold in their bodies, most of them will choose to come out during the day to absorb the blazing sun heat, and then go back to refine the corpse at night. So you go out with the corpse in broad daylight, not waiting to be served by them, so what can it be? ”

After saying this, Qi Weinan generally understood why her unreliable master always told her that she couldn't drive the corpse during the day, it turned out to be that the truth.

She held her chin and listened with relish, who had been most interested in these anecdotes since she had been a child, so she continued to ask the old man.

"Uncle Xie's guidance, Xiaodao understands, and he must obediently abide by the reason, but I have always had a question that I am very confused, what do you say it is good for the evil ways to refine the living dead? With this spell and energy, isn't it good to use it as an alchemy? Maybe you can live a long life and ride the crane! ”

"If every person who practices the Tao can pursue the right path like this, how can there be any evil and crooked paths! This refining of the living dead is equivalent to mastering the most lethal weapon, people block killing, and Buddha blocks killing Buddha! Many evil ways use the living dead they feed to destroy human souls and extract essence to provide for their own cultivation. Let's take the nine-element demon path that was destroyed by the Moon Sky Alliance a while ago, he only absorbed the essence for a month, and his cultivation has already surpassed the cultivation of a Taoist priest who has worked hard for twenty years. You say, this kind of shortcut that saves trouble and effort is in front of you, can anyone not use their brains? ”

When Qi Weinan heard this, he had a new understanding, held his chin and nodded.

"Xiaodao understands, but don't worry, uncle, Xiaodao will never embark on that kind of evil path! I will never let the evil Taoist abduct my corpse, I am here, the corpse is here, I am dead, the corpse is also there! cough cough cough ......"

The sudden hot blood made her puff out her chest and pound hard, but before she could hammer it a few times, she coughed a few times.

"Hahahaha, just your small physique, have time to practice more, thin as a monkey, when the time comes, if you really meet an evil Taoist, presumably people haven't made a move, and they will scare you out." The venomous old man joked at her with a little underwhelming.

Just as she wanted to refute the old man's words, her stomach rumbled at the right time, complaining that she hadn't eaten quickly.

Qi Weinan had to soothe his stomach, swallowed the words in his throat, and changed it to "Uncle, it's not too early, I won't delay your time, may I ask Uncle, where is my room?" ”

"Go upstairs and turn left on the innermost one, I'll take you up later."

"Great! Uncle Xie. She suddenly remembered that there were still important things to say, and hurriedly added, "By the way, uncle, please make me a super large bowl of noodles in a while, and add double eggs!" ”

The old man smiled, lowered his head and pulled the abacus, and then stretched out his palm towards Qi Weinan.

"Uncle? This is? ”

"Hey, you little Taoist, do you still want to live and eat for nothing?"

"Oh oh, look at my memory, oops, forgot."

Although she had a smile on her face, she muttered in her heart, saying that it was an inn specially provided for corpse chasers, and the master thought that she didn't want money, but in the end, she didn't want money! Hey, it seems that there is really no such thing as a free lunch.

"Dare to ask the uncle, how much is the total number of noodles?" Qi Weinan tentatively asked the price, but who knows, a sky-high price popped out of the mouth of this stinky old man, "No more, no less, half a tael of silver." ”

"What! Half a tael of silver! "This half a tael of silver is indeed not expensive, that is, the price of staying in an inn in the city for one night, but for Qi Weinan, who only took out one or two pieces of silver, it is not too much to say that it is sky-high.

"Oh, as the saying goes, rare things are expensive, and there are only ten of our corpse chasers in the entire Ningyun Kingdom, and of course the special venues are expensive."

The old man smiled like a profiteer, and said to Qi Wei Nan with a small slit between his thumb and index finger.

It is not unreasonable for him to say this, the main income of this inn comes from corpse chasers, and it is not like other inns where there are too many daily travelers to count, sometimes a few days will come to a business, and the price is not slightly higher, it is indeed difficult to make a living.

"Is there any way to get cheaper?"

"It's not for nothing, if you live in a single house, it's only two hundred wen." Hearing the old man say this, Qi Weinan's eyes burst with golden light!

You must know that one tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand wen, and half a tael of silver can be converted into five hundred wen.

And now this price is a whole 300 yuan cheaper than that of a cabinet house!

Maybe this cabinet house has one more cabinet than a single house, anyway, I don't need to put anything in the cabinet, just a place to sleep!

Qi Weinan held this idea and happily changed the house back to a single house, but when she paid the money happily, the old man said something strange with a gloomy face, "Then I hope you can have a good dream tonight." ”
