Chapter Twenty-Three: The Goblin Bar
"There are many golden jade trees on the mountain. There is a beast, its shape is like a cow and the head is white, and the eyes are snake's tail, and its name is called the dragon. ”
Flipping through the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" searched in his mobile phone, Su Xiaoxiao saw this sentence from it.
It looks like a cow, with a white head, a single eye, and a snake's tail, all of which are aligned, but this thing is called "dragon".
Not to mention whether the alien beasts recorded in this strange book really exist, at least in the past thousand years, humans have never found their traces.
If there was, it would have been written into "Hundred Ghosts Night Walk".
Su Xiaoxiao had been lying in the hospital for a day and a night, and the plaster cast on her hands and feet had been removed in just over thirty hours since she was sent here the night before.
This stunned all the doctors except Song Siming, and even called it a "miracle in medical history".
During this time, Yin Tao came to see her a few times, and her father came again, but he also brought a psychiatrist, but Su Xiaoxiao refused.
Even Xiaoguang came to her ward to play with her, but Lu Xiaojia never appeared.
She might still be angry. Su Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it, now she just wanted to quickly solve the blood pool and ease their relationship.
Now seeing that this monster is really from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Su Xiaoxiao immediately couldn't hold it back, packed up and escaped from the hospital.
I came and went in a hurry, and when I got out of the hospital gate, I immediately took a taxi.
"I say, where are you going in a hurry?" In the taxi, Xiaohu was very dishonest and lay on the driver's head and asked Su Xiaoxiao in the back seat.
Yejun is elusive, and Xiaohu likes to rely on others not to see it, so he wantonly lies on people's heads.
Su Xiaoxiao felt that the non-human creatures who followed her had strange fetishes.
"You don't care about that, just follow me."
"Huh?"
Looking at the driver's strange expression in the rearview mirror, Su Xiaoxiao pointed to his ear in embarrassment, "I'll call, master, you don't have to worry about me." ”
"Oh......" The driver suddenly retracted his gaze and muttered to himself, "Now that technology is really developed, the headphones are so small." ”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled matter-of-factly, and then said, "Anyway, what I'm looking for is someone who knows a lot about the ghosts that haunt Xingang City." ”
"You're talking about a slippery head."
Su Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at Yejun who was standing on the back of the seat on her right, "Yes, you know him too?" ”
Xiaohu yawned, "That guy is not good at talking, you ask him about things, be careful to touch your nose." ”
Su Xiaoxiao turned her head again and looked at Xiaohu, who was lying on the driver's head in front of her, "Don't worry, I have my own way." ”
Yejun picked up the words that were interrupted by Xiaohu, "It is recorded in the "Hundred Ghosts Night Journey" that the slippery ghost is the head of the hundred ghosts, and because he is loyal and honest, the hundred ghosts like to find him to decide whether it is right or wrong. ”
Su Xiaoxiao turned his head to look at Yejun on the right again, "Yes, so he must know that there are some unfamiliar faces nearby, this guy is so powerful, the hundred ghosts should be able to feel its existence." ”
Xiaohu asked again, "Although this guy is loyal and honest, he is also notoriously slippery, and you humans want to pry some information out of his mouth, I think it is impossible." ”
Su Xiaoxiao turned her head again, "I said that I have my own way." ”
After speaking, before the two of them could continue to ask, she glanced at the two of them impatiently, "I said, can you all sit here?" I'm tired of turning my head and talking to you like that! ”
As soon as the words fell, Su Xiaoxiao saw that in the rearview mirror, the strange eyes of the driver reappeared, and quickly explained, "I...... Talking to the person on the other end of the phone. ”
The driver looked at Yejun on the seat next to her, and sighed, "The current actors are really dedicated, not only to practice their lines against dolls, but also to practice against the air, it's really not easy......"
Oh, yes...... It's not easy.
……
The car stopped in front of an inconspicuous noodle restaurant, and as soon as he got out of the car, Xiaohu ordered the dish: "I want a fish ball noodles and a fish ball." ”
Yejun also followed suit and said, "I want mutton noodles." ”
"Then I'll order three fresh noodles." After speaking, Su Xiaoxiao glared at Yejun and Xiaohu on his shoulders with disdain, "We are here to do business, why do you want to eat?" ”
These two people, one on her right shoulder and the other on her left shoulder, none of them were willing to walk on their own, so they relied on their small size and recklessly called her as a mount.
This noodle shop is not big, only a young girl stands at the front desk, and she is the cashier and the waiter.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao, the little girl asked happily, "Little Miss!" Are you here for noodles today? ”
"Fish ball noodles! Give me fish balls! ”
Xiaohu shouted, of course the little girl couldn't hear it, but Su Xiaoxiao was so noisy that her head shook, and she slammed her head off her shoulder.
"No, I'd like to go 'inside' for a drink."
The little girl pointed to the kitchen behind her, and enthusiastically let her take care of herself.
When he came to the kitchen, there was only a middle-aged man dressed as a chef, cooking noodles without saying a word, and when he saw Su Xiaoxiao coming in, he didn't speak, and pressed it to the wall next to him, and a cabinet full of condiments rotated and opened, forming a secret door.
Behind the secret door was a staircase that went down, and after going down for about ten meters, another door appeared in front of it.
"Can't you see, such a small noodle restaurant, there is a secret room?" Xiaohu sighed, jumped on her shoulder again, and whispered to her, "Is the slippery ghost behind this door?" ”
Night-kun interjected, "Slippery ghosts don't stay in one place forever. ”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and laughed at Xiaohu, "It's still smart." ”
Xiaohu leaned over and bared his teeth at Yejun through Su Xiaoxiao's head.
Yejun ignored it, still holding his arms with a cold face.
Su Xiaoxiao knocked on the door, and the small window on the door was pushed open, revealing a pair of red eyes.
After seeing Su Xiaoxiao, the eyes didn't say anything and opened the door directly.
Inside the door, there is a bar, but the decoration style is the former American western style, which is very characteristic of cowboy movies, and has a full sense of age.
Even the guests who sat around were dressed like western cowboys.
It's just that none of these guests are human.
There are small monsters with one eye and one leg; There are also tall and burly, four-eyed and horned monsters.
They are all dressed as cowboys in the West, and they are simply a gathering place for ghosts.
It was a very disobedient feeling for an onmyoji like Su Xiaoxiao to appear here, and all the ghosts and goblins looked at her, but it didn't take long for them to retract their gaze and continue their original drinking and greetings.
There was only a one-legged humanoid goblin, staring at her all the time, with a hostile look in his eyes.
This was a "mountain spirit", but Su Xiaoxiao didn't notice it and walked straight to the innermost bar.
Behind the bar, a handsome young man was looking at Su Xiaoxiao with a smile on his face.
His smile was very charming, but it was a little stiffer, and as soon as Su Xiaoxiao sat down at the bar, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Uncle Bai, you are still as good-looking as before." ”
The handsome guy's smile was still embedded on his face, but the next second he turned into a big white dog, with five tails wagging behind him, very well-behaved.
This is a ghost named "Peng Hou".
"It's much more pleasing to the eye."
Peng Hou, whom she called "Uncle Bai", smiled, "Didn't I want you to feel more cordial?" ”
"Sometimes, ghosts are more pleasing to the eye than humans." Su Xiaoxiao said with emotion, looking around, "Is this week a western theme?" ”
Uncle Bai said proudly, "Yes, the decoration is okay, right?" Next week I'm going to make a Dunhuang mural theme. ”
Su Xiaoxiao became interested, "Dunhuang? Then I must check it out! ”
Xiaohu jumped on the bar and shook his tail boredly, "These ghosts are really idle and have nothing to do, and they decorate the bar once a week?" ”
Su Xiaoxiao glared at it, and at this time, Yejun also jumped from her shoulder to the bar, "Boss, this is tasteful." ”
Uncle Bai couldn't see Xiaohu either, but he noticed this little Yejun, "This is a new friend you made?" ”
Su Xiaoxiao had a bitter face, "It's my new boss." ”
Uncle Bai smiled, stared at Yejun for a long time, and couldn't tell what kind of ghost this was.
Su Xiaoxiao was afraid that Yejun would be stared at by him, so he hurriedly got to the point, "By the way, Uncle Bai, do you know where the slippery ghost has been recently?" ”
"Ouch, you're stumped on me. But we don't have anything here, but we don't lack information, you wait for me to ask. ”
With that, he jumped out from behind the bar and asked the goblins one by one.
Yejun sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to have your own intelligence network. ”
Xiaohu was even more surprised, "It's really strange that these ghosts can cooperate with the Onmyoji." ”
"Yes, most goblins and onmyoji are still hostile to each other." After speaking, Su Xiaoxiao unceremoniously took out a bottle of fruit wine from behind the bar, opened the cap and poured it into his mouth.
Xiaohu looked at her with a wicked smile, "You're not afraid that ghosts will poison you?" ”
"Heh, I'm not afraid, I'm the ...... here"
Before Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, there was a sound of "dong dong dong" footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that it was a mountain spirit.
It glared at Su Xiaoxiao and said indignantly, "You Onmyoji, how dare you come here!" ”
