A few days after I came back from Difu, I just caught up with the great news: the Longevity Hotel has reopened!

After a year and a half, after spending tens of thousands of Yin Yuan, the front building of the Longevity Hotel was finally rebuilt half a month ago. Teng Boli told me this good news personally, because his third brother Teng Shuli also came to ask him if he agreed to let me go back to the Changshou Hotel to continue working as a chef? Tengbury said, it depends on my own opinion.

For Teng Shuli's kindness, I had no choice but to decline. After all, I'm doing well with Bu Ye on the caravan's side now, and the huge expenses on the yin meal don't allow me to go back and earn that meager cook's salary.

However, Tian Laolu, who lived with me in the dormitory of Shangcheng Commercial Bank, had already returned to live in the Changshou Hotel in advance. He said that he still misses the "lively atmosphere" of ghosts crying wolves at night in the lower city, and he is a little unaccustomed to the quiet in the upper city!

On the big day when the hotel reopened, I was still in the recuperation period, and I was idle anyway, so I simply volunteered to run over as a helper, and I was busy working non-stop.

The style of the new front building of the Longevity Hotel has changed slightly from the previous one, but it is definitely more beautiful and atmospheric. The inside and outside of the store are also lit up and lively. Most of the old guys have returned, but I and another nurse have chosen to stay in their current positions. But no matter who it is, there is a joy on his face, and he is full of energy when he works.

Business was booming on the first day of opening, and it was simply overcrowded!

As soon as I saw that there was a shortage of people in the kitchen, I rolled up my sleeves and went into the kitchen to help. Those jobs are already done, even after a year and a half, but the old business still hasn't forgotten. The head chef, Yu Lazi, was a little embarrassed when he saw me being so diligent, and said that he would go to the shopkeeper Teng Shuli and ask me to calculate today's salary.

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "No need! It's not an outsider, what are you doing so politely? If I take this money, it will look like I'm stingy! ”

After a busy day, after closing in the evening, Teng Shuli finally had time to gather all the guys in the store together and drink a reunion wine by himself.

During the banquet, everyone happily toasted each other non-stop. Uncle Teng was the happiest, and he was also the first choice for everyone to toast. Therefore, even if he was a good drinker, he was quickly drunk. But he was so fat that we could only help him to sit behind the counter and sit on the chair he was used to and take a nap.

The boss took the lead, and the others didn't have anything to drink. Even Tian Laolu took a rare sip of two glasses, although he was not drunk, his old face was still burned red. We all laughed at him as if he was twenty years younger!

Everyone was in high spirits, and even the wine in the warehouse was almost finished, leaving only the last small half jar of rice wine. Xu has just opened, and the inventory has not yet had time to be replenished. But everyone was still unsatisfied, so they came to guess the boxing, and said that whoever loses will buy it. But if there are too many people to guess boxing, it is not easy to distinguish the winner from the loser, and after guessing ten rounds and eight rounds, it is still impossible to tell the winner from the loser.

Tian Laolu couldn't drink anymore, but he didn't go to sleep, so he just sat on the side and watched us drink and join in the fun. At this time, he simply stood up and said, "You can continue to drink, my old man will go out to buy it himself!" ”

We all disagree, how embarrassing is that?

The old man insisted on going, saying, "I'm too full, I can go out for a walk and relax my muscles." ”

As soon as everyone heard him say this, they let him go. I raised my hand and looked at my watch, it was close to ten o'clock in the evening, so I reminded Tian Laolu one more sentence: "Go and come back quickly!" Curfew time is almost up! ”

Tian Laolu waved his hand and said, "There is still half an hour!" Don't look at me old, I can still walk back and forth in a quarter of an hour! ”

With that, he went out wearing the new cloak I had bought for him last year.

So, the rest of the people who were not drunk continued to guess the boxing order, and the atmosphere was still warm. Soon, we drank the last half of the jar of rice wine, but at this time, Tian Laolu still didn't buy the wine back.

Someone began to mutter: "Could it be that the old man is all old and confused, where is he lost?" ”

Someone shook his head and said, "No!" Lao Tian has lived in the lower city for decades, and he should be able to walk back even with his eyes closed! ”

"Hey, didn't he get drunk after just drinking so many glasses, and where did he fall on the way?" The other person speculated in surprise.

I couldn't help but get worried, so I volunteered to go out and have a look.

The nearest wine shop is two streets away from the Changshou Hotel, and there are several rooms together, Tian Laolu must go there to buy wine, and it really doesn't take a quarter of an hour to go back and forth. And at this time, the big clock on the top of the cave is only a little bit away from the sub-hour, shouldn't it be so slow?

There are very few pedestrians on the street, all walking back, and most of the shops on both sides of the street have begun to install door panels. I walked all the way past without seeing Tian Laolu's figure, until I came to an alley between Eighth and Ninth Streets, but suddenly I saw a tall black figure lifting something high.

Wrong! It's a person who is lifted into the air!

It was a big ghost with a man in his hand and lifting him high. Because the man's neck was choked and his feet couldn't reach the ground, he could only whine and scream.

This ghost is so arrogant? Before the curfew, you started bullying people?

I couldn't look at it, so I yelled, "What do you want to do?" It's not time yet! ”

When the ghost heard me shouting, he threw the man into the corner, turned around and bared his teeth and grinned at me. It's troublesome, look at its thick resentment, it's actually an ink ghost!

With my current cultivation, I can't beat it. I can't help but regret it, why would I cause such trouble for no reason?

However, another strange feeling also came to my mind: the appearance of this ghost...... Sounds familiar?

"Nosy! Then I'll eat you too! "That ghost tiger has a bear's waist on his back, and his whole body is dark, and he obviously belongs to the kind of pure strength type of ghost cultivator, and he likes to be unreasonable and unreasonable.

I was too close to it at this time, and even if I did, I might not be able to run away, so I had to confront it head-on, and at the same time raise my head and shout, "Guard! Castle Guard! There are ghosts killing people here! ”

At this time, it is not yet the curfew period, and if there happens to be a city guard patrolling nearby, they will definitely come down to catch ghosts. Even if there is no city guard coming down, it is good to shout two voices to scare it off. Of course, I couldn't just pin my hopes on the unknown rescuers, so I also took out the pair of Ruyi chopsticks from my body and transformed them into two short guns ready to meet the enemy.

Unfazed by my shouts and not trying to run away, the ink ghost was enraged and roared at me, drawing an axe from behind me to slash me!

I didn't expect him to use a weapon directly, and it was such a domineering battle axe, where he dared to take it, he could only roll on the spot and hide from under its ribs to the other side.

But the ghost still didn't give up, and continued to slash and chase frantically. I dodged three times in a row, and finally couldn't dodge, so I hurriedly raised a short gun to block.

"Smack!"

As soon as the short spear came into contact with the heavy giant axe, it was knocked away, and it fell far away, turning back into the original shape of the chopsticks. My mouth was also numb and trembling. This guy is so tough to deal with!

However, when I saw the big axe, I finally recognized it. Isn't this the bear boss I met in Xiao Jiuhe's ghost refining shop more than a year ago?

At that time, I had finished searching Xiao Jiuhe's treasure, and I planned to hide in the store until the next morning. It coincidentally came to the door in advance to talk to Xiao Jiuhe about business, and the advertising ghost was eaten on the spot because I didn't agree to open the door and angered it!

Does it recognize me?

But judging from Boss Xiong's reaction, it doesn't look like this. It's like because I ran into it and was chasing someone, and I was going to kill me as an "eyewitness" as well.

By the way, who is the person it hunts down?

At this moment, I suddenly smelled a strong smell of wine in my nose. In the blink of an eye, there was a wine jar poured under the victim's feet, which had broken a hole, and the wine was "gurgling" out, and the mellow aroma of wine gradually spread in the alley. When I came out just now, I had already drunk too much alcohol at the Changshou Hotel, and I didn't even smell it at first.

Could it be that the person lying over there is Tian Laolu who came out to drink?

But Boss Bear won't give me time to figure out the whole thing. It roared and continued to pick up the massive tomahawk and slash at me. I didn't dare to carry it anymore, so I jumped back to dodge. The heavy fall of the tomahawk could not be contained, and directly smashed a stone brick on the ground.

"Bang!"

At this moment, a ghost fire suddenly fell from the top of the cave, almost hitting the bear boss. One person and one ghost were stunned for a moment, and they all looked up. It turned out that two city guards were riding worms towards us, but the roof of the cave was too high, and they had to go around to the nearest stone pillar to get down to the ground.

Moreover, because the sound of the fight was so loud, the owners of two shops next to it also probed their heads out to watch the excitement, just wanting to help but worried about getting into unnecessary trouble.

As soon as the bear boss saw that the momentum was wrong, and that I couldn't catch it as slippery as a loach, he roared twice and turned around and wanted to run.

But before things are figured out, I can't let it run away easily. So I swooped back and attacked it with one of my remaining short guns, trying to entangle it. I don't want Boss Xiong's reaction to be slow, and when I turned around, I picked up an axe, and the other short gun in my hand was also knocked off by it.

No, no! I didn't wear armor when I went out today, and I didn't bring a short knife or a round shield, and relying on Ruyi chopsticks alone to deal with a pure power type ghost cultivator like it wouldn't take any advantage at all!
