Section 249: Plum Blossom Society
"Big brother also has a way?" The wraith asked puzzled, but he knew that Zhang Su had never been to the capital, so he naturally couldn't think of any way for Zhang Su.
"Of course, you see." Zhang Su smiled and nodded, and showed the phone screen to the Wraith, and in the shining screen was a conversation between him and Pu Zitong, who was far away in Qicheng, about the grand view of the bounty in the capital.
"What do you mean, big brother?" The wraith carefully watched a short conversation between Zhang Su and Pu Zitong, as if he understood something, and said thoughtfully.
"Well, isn't the task just for me to find a soul hunting bounty for myself? This kind of bounty should be too much in the bounty grand view, so it's better to go there directly and have a look, it is estimated that it will be solved soon. Zhang Su put away his mobile phone and said with a smile while continuing to type and chat with Pu Zitong.
"But big brother, the soul hunting bounty there is not something that anyone can take, and compared with the company's bounty, the quality of the bounty in the bounty is uneven, and the accuracy of the information is difficult to guarantee, so it will be a little troublesome to pick it up alone." After Zhang Su spoke, the wraith said with a little worry.
"That's natural, if everything can be easy, then there will be no suffering in the world, although I don't know why the company will suddenly change the rules of ability appraisal this time, but obviously there is a purpose to increase the difficulty, under this purpose, the conventional path is estimated to be difficult to get through, even if we are allowed to participate in the appraisal of some of the authority of the company's departments, it may not help, in the end we still have to hang around outside looking for possible orders, the company's bounty does not let us take it, It's better to go directly to the place where the bounty may be released outside to join in the fun, where the probability of finding a suitable bounty is the greatest, and according to the information provided by He Lu's eyeliner in the capital, there are indeed several high-level ghosts and above bounties in the bounty in the capital. Zhang Su replied with a smile.
"There is a bounty in the capital's bounty grand view?" Wraith was surprised.
"Well, when I heard that I needed to do it myself from the beginning of looking for a bounty order, I sent a 'distress letter' to Pu Zitong, Pu Zitong informed He Lu of the matter, and He Lu immediately used the eyeliner that supervised the bounty in the capital, and sent the bounty in the bounty to me, and after reading those bounties, I had the confidence to refuse the invitation of the charming woman and choose to complete the task alone." Zhang Su nodded and told the Wraith Dao what had happened.
"I see, then when will we leave for Daguan, big brother?" Seeing Zhang Su's confident appearance, the wraith naturally knew that Zhang Su was somewhat sure, so he no longer worried, and asked instead.
"Now." After the Wraith asked, Zhang Su said seriously.
After Zhang Su spoke, he changed into inconspicuous clothes and put them on his body, quietly left his residence in the hotel, carefully probed the soul power around him, and after not finding anyone following, he strolled out of the hotel, took a taxi, and slowly drove in the direction of Zhibei.
"What are you doing when you go to the Plum Blossom Club? listen
Play? There aren't many young people who like opera now. In the taxi, after a moment of silence, the driver may have felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, and asked Zhang Su, and the "Plum Blossom Club" mentioned by the driver was Zhang Su's destination this time.
"Find someone." Zhang Su asked Pu Zitong about the various unspoken rules in the bounty grand view, while checking the map that Pu Zitong sent him, and when he heard the driver's question, he was a little absent-minded, and simply replied with two words.
"Family or friends?" Hearing that Zhang Su was not going to listen to the play but to find someone, the driver asked.
"Neither." Zhang Su carefully understood the unspoken rules of the bounty Daguan introduced to him by Pu Zitong, and at the same time instilled those rules into his spiritual sense, and he subconsciously replied to the driver's question.
"Neither looking for family nor friends, but looking for enemies? Do you have a grudge against any singer? After Zhang Su answered, the driver frowned, turned his head to look at Zhang Su who was sitting in the co-pilot, and asked in surprise.
"Enemies? No, it's not, I'm in business. Seeing that the driver seemed to have misunderstood himself, Zhang Su came back to his senses and replied with a wry smile.
"Doing business, no wonder I seem to be very busy with my mobile phone all the time, business should be quite prosperous, right? Where do you get rich? After Zhang Su answered, the wrinkles at the corners of the driver's eyes due to doubts widened slightly, and he asked with bright eyes.
"This ......, it's okay, I heard that the Plum Blossom Club has an order, but I just ran around to see it, and it didn't count as making a fortune." Zhang Su couldn't say that he was looking for a reward for exorcism, and said that it was estimated that the driver would kick him out of the car as a nervous disorder, so he could only explain simply.
"It's still hidden, it seems to be a big order, I understand, doing business and making a fortune depends on the way, who will tell others how to do business, but look at the little brother, you can take the road to our big capital at a young age, it seems that there is some ability, I won't say much else, just wish you a prosperous business." After Zhang Su explained, the driver obviously didn't believe it, smiled slightly as if he had seen through something, and opened his mouth to congratulate Zhang Su.
"Uh...... Thank you. Zhang Su knew that the driver had misunderstood, but this misunderstanding was beautiful, so he didn't explain much, but replied with a smile.
After Zhang Su answered, the driver didn't want to talk more when he saw Zhang Su, but he kept holding his mobile phone to watch, and naturally closed his mouth with interest, drove the car silently, cleverly crossed the streets and alleys to avoid the congested road, and soon took Zhang Su to the front of a quaint tea garden with carved beams and painted columns.
After paying the fare and getting out of the car, Zhang Su stood in front of the tea garden, looked at the location sent to him by Pu Zitong on his mobile phone, listened to the Beijing-style singing of "babbling" inside, and confirmed that it was correct here, and then raised his feet and walked towards the tea garden, passed through the Langshan promenade, crossed a drunken flower garden, bypassed a peony screen, entered a brown and black girder house, looked at the waving water sleeves on the stage, and randomly found an unmanned tall round stool to sit down.
"Guest, what kind of tea would you like to drink?" Black, white, red, green
We have all the flowers, as well as the crushed fresh tooth foam, the tip of the rain flower of the big needle, the latest stubble of a fresh fragrance, can be brewed, can be cooked, can be stuffy, like the cool can also be directly pulled out of the well, it depends on how you are willing to taste. After Zhang Su sat down, a person who used to be dressed as a little second in cloth clothes and shoes walked up to Zhang Su with a hunched waist, grinned, and asked with a mouthful of white teeth.
"Aren't you a drama garden? Can't just watch a play? How much does a ticket cost? Zhang Su asked.
"This lord, where is there still money to make by selling dramas now, the masters who come here are all here to drink tea and chat or relax and have fun, mainly to drink tea, to clean the heart, the play is supplemented by adding music, the play does not charge money, you think the horns above sing well, you can beat the gong and reward, but the tea can not be ordered, otherwise we will not make money, this garden will not be opened, of course, you have to buy tickets, there is a cross talk club on the overpass, there are tickets sold, you can go there to listen to cross talk and watch the play." Xiao Er saw that Zhang Su didn't seem to want to order tea, and knew that Zhang Su was a guest, but he didn't get angry, and said bitterly.
"That's it, just have a cup of cold and white." Hearing Xiao Er's persuasion, Zhang Su nodded, and then said with a smile.
"Guest officer, we can only order tea here, we don't provide free white water for the time being, some tea can be refilled, but if you don't order anything, the small shop can't provide it, and I hope the guest officer won't pick quarrels and provoke trouble here, the security of our small shop is still good." After Zhang Su spoke, the shopkeeper's eyes widened slightly, but he didn't know what kind of literacy made him still maintain forbearance, and continued to smile at Zhang Su.
"Really? Contemptible people call ghosts and sorrows, I don't know if your security guards here are worried or not? After listening to Xiao Er's words, Zhang Su continued to ask with a smile.
"What the hell? Little ghosts? After listening to Zhang Su's words, Xiao Erzi stepped back half a step, was slightly stunned, and then looked at Zhang Su and asked.
"The high-level imp is worried." Zhang Su replied with a smile, and then released the soul power of the high-level Soul King level a little, and let the little two explore at will.
"High-level Soul King? It's just a fresh face, how do you know here? What are you going to do here? Hearing Zhang Su's words, after perceiving the soul power on Zhang Su's body, the little second frowned, and asked at Zhang Su's soul power.
"Recently, I have been working in this capital, and I have not been able to do it enough, and I heard from a friend that I can make some money for tea here, so I came over, I don't know if I can taste the longevity soul tea?" Zhang Su heard the transmission of the shopkeeper, smiled and replied, and then asked.
"Guest officer, the private room is here, you come with me." After Zhang Su answered, the shopkeeper was silent for a moment, and then walked in front with fragmented steps, making a gesture to lead the way for Zhang Su, and did not use soul power to transmit the sound, and said with a smile.
Seeing the shopkeeper in such a pose, Zhang Su naturally knew that he had been allowed to go to the bounty Daguan, and he didn't say anything, silently followed Xiao Er, got out of the big house with the stage, passed through a long rain corridor, walked towards the side of the courtyard, and after a while, he came to a gate blocked by a foggy rain plum blossom screen.
Stop and stop, no longer move forward.
"Wait a minute." After stopping, the shopkeeper glanced at Zhang Su behind him, spoke, and then bypassed the foggy and rainy plum blossom screen, knocked on the door behind him a few times, and waited for the echo inside.
"Drink tea and listen to the drama and go to the stage, this is not a place to sing!" After hearing the knock on the door, a rude scolding sound came from inside the door, which was a bit shocking.
"Brother Jiao, someone came to taste soul tea and listen to ghost shows." After the scolding fell, the shopkeeper knocked on the door twice again, and then whispered outside.
"Drinking soul tea and listening to ghost shows? Wait a minute......" Hearing the voice of the shopkeeper, the man inside seemed to have a question, and then pulled the door open from the inside.
"Hello, this is the bounty view, right? I heard you have one today, so I'm here to check it out. After the door opened, Zhang Su looked at the strong man with heavy black eyebrows and beard that appeared in front of him, looked at it carefully, and probably recognized that the soul power on his body was in the middle level of the soul king, and greeted with a smile.
"Raw? Do you know the bounty grand view? The bearded man frowned when he saw Zhang Su, pouted and blew the beard at the corner of his mouth and asked.
"I'm not from the capital, I've received the bounty in the Grand View in other places and completed it, and I'm passing by here today and want to try my luck here." Zhang Su nodded and replied.
"I see, the bounty is not a hidden place, but it is to avoid leaving traces in the present world to take such precautions, as long as it is a soul master, you can basically participate, but the soul master friends should know the rules, right?" The bearded man nodded, said suddenly, and then looked at Zhang Su again.
"Yes, the ticket money." Zhang Su nodded and said, he didn't enter for free when he went to the Blue Star Cinema to watch the bounty grand view, but Pu Zitong bought two movie tickets to enter, in fact, the movie ticket price is the ticket money for the bounty grand view, which he knows.
"It seems that it's a friend from a small place, not only the ticket money here, but also a certain mask fee." After Zhang Su answered, the bearded strong man shook his head and said.
"Mask fee?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"Well, there are a lot of people in the capital, so the fish and dragons are mixed, and the soul master is naturally too, people from all major forces may come to us to participate in the bounty grand view, there are always some contradictory or hostile behaviors that make trouble, so generally the bounty grand view in a large place will require the participants to temporarily bring our special masks to enter, which can hide the appearance and soul power, at least to ensure the smooth progress of the entire grand view." The beard brushed two of his mustaches and said.
"I don't have any acquaintances here, so I don't need to ...... much" Zhang Su didn't know how much the mask cost, and thought that he had just come to the capital, and few people knew him, so he wanted to refuse.
"This is a hard requirement given by the manager of Daguan, if you don't wear it, you can't get in here, and it will take less than half an hour for Daguan to start, you can think about it." Before Zhang Su finished refusing, the strong man took the first step and said.
"Alright then, sort of
How much do tickets total? Zhang Su pondered for a moment, quickly decided, and asked.
"Tickets are seventy, masks are twenty at a time, the total is ninety, Xiao Er will run errands for you, and if you tip, you can watch and reward some ......" After Zhang Su asked, the strong man smiled, opened his wide army green shirt, took out a plastic Wukong mask sold on a large set from his arms and handed it to Zhang Su, then raised his eyebrows, stretched out a hand and said to Zhang Su.
"Isn't this the kind of children's toys sold at market stalls? This thing costs twenty each, it's too bad......" Zhang Su took the plastic mask in his hand and looked through it twice, muttered with a dark face, and didn't take out the money.
"The mask is a horcrux, the material is not valuable, but the function is valuable, this is the boss has opened the light, you take it on your face and try to use the soul power to urge, see if you can cover the soul, change the voice, and eliminate the fragrance, if not, I will change it for you." Seeing that Zhang Su did not pay the money immediately, but muttered in his mouth, the strong man seemed to be accustomed to it and prompted.
"Horcruxes?" Hearing the strong man's words, seeing the strong man's confident appearance, Zhang Su frowned and repeated, and then put the mask on his face suspiciously, and tried to use his soul power to urge.
"Ah...... Yes...... Sure enough, ......" After Zhang Su put on the mask, he felt his soul power, and then shouted twice with a clear throat, he found that there seemed to be a layer of soul membrane similar to the body space around his body, and there was no trace of soul power spilling outward, in addition, his voice also changed from a clear man's voice to a slightly nasal woman's voice, and he couldn't help but feel magical.
"How?" Seeing that Zhang Su's eyes under the mask only shone with a novel light, the strong man knew that the effect of the mask had shocked Zhang Su, and asked with a smile.
"Functionally, this mask is already a top-grade Horcrux, but this should be a temporary effect, right? Otherwise, you would have already issued this mask for sale here. Zhang Su frowned and said.
"Seeing that the little brother is not very old, he still has a wide range of knowledge, that's right, this fake ghost mask can only last until 0:00 tonight, after 0:00 every day, the soul covering, voice change, and fragrance elimination functions will be invalid, and it will change into an ordinary monkey head mask, so this one doesn't need to be returned to us after leaving the bounty grand view, you can find a place to take it off and destroy it." After Zhang Su spoke, the strong man nodded and explained.
"I see, no wonder, well, it's a whole hundred, don't look for it, more money is a tip." After listening to the strong man's explanation, Zhang Su nodded suddenly, and then took out a brand new hundred-yuan bill that had just been changed from his coat pocket, handed it to the strong man who was standing in the door and rubbing his palms, and said in a slightly atmospheric manner.
"Thank you boss for the reward, the fragrant tea inside has been arranged, and the show will start immediately, please follow me inside." After receiving Zhang Su's hundred-yuan bill, the strong man smiled, and then moved his figure away from the door, and with a wave of his big hand, he led Zhang Su into a dark and desolate courtyard.
Zhang Su followed the strong man into the courtyard, walked under the ivy, walked more than ten steps, and saw a stage that was not as good as before
The room is a small room, and there is a stage in the room that is exactly the same as the previous stage, and in front of the stage, and between the door of the house, there are twenty or thirty high-legged tea tables in a spacious space, and each tea table is equipped with three and a half three-legged stools, which looks like another theater booth, but it is slightly darker than the previous one.
"The place where the bounty is held is here, you can find a place to sit at will, wait for the grand view to start, no matter where you sit, the cup of longevity soul tea in front of you can be drunk for free, the soul tea has the effect of clearing the soul and removing stasis, it can eliminate part of the soul poison hidden in the soul, dredge the soul of the soul, and promote the absorption of soul power after forging the soul." After arriving in the room, the strong man pointed to a few three-legged stools that no one sat on, and reminded with a smile.
"Just sit down?" While listening to the strong man's reminder, Zhang Su looked at the fifteen or sixteen people who were also wearing plastic masks in the room, and saw that some of them were gathered around a table in groups of three or five, and some were sitting alone doing their own things, and asked in a confirmed manner.
"Well, there's no limit to that." The strong man nodded and replied.
"Can you drink the soul tea on the table casually?" Zhang Su continued to confirm.
"Wanshou Soul Tea is a special supply for our Plum Blossom Society, and it is usually charged, but this time there is a bounty publisher who provides sponsorship, so you can only drink one cup for free, and you will have to pay for drinking more." The strong man explained clearly.
"Understood, okay, then I'll wait here for the bounty to begin." After asking some questions that he didn't understand, Zhang Su also knew the rules of the Plum Blossom Club, and after finding an unmanned tea table and sitting down, he nodded and responded.
