After leaving the ghost market, we went straight back to the Zilanxuan Teahouse. It was a quiet dawn everywhere.

I took out the box and asked Old Man Xiao: "Old Xiao, this box is not bad." What's that black bead in there? How do I feel like an inner dan? ”

Old Man Xiao looked at me with a smile, and then opened the box, revealing the small dark bead inside. Then he lit another candle and approached the small black bead.

At this time, a curious scene appeared, and the flames on the candle were all absorbed by the small black beads in the absence of wind.

Old man Xiao threw the extinguished candle aside, then turned off the light in the room, and said softly, "Boy, take a good look at what this thing is!" ”

When I turned my head to look at the wooden box again, I saw that the small black beads inside the wooden box had turned fiery red. A faint reddish air stream surrounded the small black beads. I felt that the spiritual power emanating from that small black bead was very strong, and I was even more sure that it was an inner pill.

I looked at Old Man Xiao very curiously: "Old Xiao! This should be an inner pill, right? I just felt that there was a very powerful spiritual power on it, presumably the owner of this Neidan should be extraordinary, right? ”

"This is a Fire Devouring Pill, an inner pill in the body of the Fire Devouring Poisonous Spider. You're right, the owner of this bead is the Fire Devouring Spider King. Old man Xiao said to me as he slowly closed the box.

"Fire Eater Spider? Isn't that something only found in southern Xinjiang? Why do we have it in Changsha? As soon as I heard Old Man Xiao's words, I hurriedly asked.

Old man Xiao nodded: "Yes!" But we have it here, but it's just not noticed. This fire-devouring poisonous spider is very yin and venomous, and usually hides in places with abundant yin energy, and never actively appears in the sight of humans. ”

"This Fire Devouring Pill is extremely poisonous, so why did you buy it in the ghost market? Is it used for poisoning? I looked at Old Man Xiao playfully.

"Do you know what the Jiang family's assessment of you and me is this time?" Old man Xiao looked at me mysteriously.

"Could it be this Fire Devouring Pill? Impossible! At most, it's just a spider nedan, isn't it a good thing? And it's cold and poisonous. What do you want it for? I pointed to the wooden box and asked Old Man Xiao.

"Of course not! They asked for a centipede bead. Only when we get a centipede bead can we enter the Jiang family smoothly. Of course, if we can really find the water elixir, they will also give a salary of 500,000 yuan and the rubbing that records the secret of immortality. Old man Xiao looked at me with a wicked smile: "How easy this business is!" Let's act together, and when the time comes, we will take the Water Spirit Pill and cure Patriarch Jiang, and I will take 200,000 yuan. The remaining 300,000 and that rubbing are yours. ”

"Didn't you say there was only one rubbing? Why is there another 500,000 now? How much are you hiding from me, old thing? I looked at Old Man Xiao with tears and laughter.

"That's all! There really isn't anything else. However, I am not a member of your mountain sect, so I don't know anything about how to obtain these heavenly and earthly treasures. Besides, my old bones won't help you much. I'll take care of helping you with advice and cheering, hehe! So it's okay if you take a little more. Old man Xiao laughed cheaply.

"You're an old thing! Let me go to find centipede beads and charge into battle. Aren't you afraid of exhausting me? Besides, I'm going to die of exhaustion. See how you go to the water elixir to save people, and see if you can get your 200,000. I laughed and scolded angrily.

Not to be outdone, Old Man Xiao replied: "Young people, don't talk about death at every turn!" Besides, such a little thing, for you, a person who walks the mountain, is this also a thing? ”

"Don't put a top hat on me, I won't eat this. However, where to find centipede beads as a meeting gift to Jiang's house? I asked Old Man Xiao with some concern.

"You don't have to worry about this, I know where to find it. I'll go with you! Old man Xiao looked at me with a smile and said.

I smiled and nodded, "Okay! As long as you know where to find centipede beads, I'll take care of them. As for this Fire Devouring Pill, it's useless, so let's throw it away! ”

"Ahh Thrown? What a pity! I've spent tens of thousands of dollars! I thought it would be useful for centipede beads? Alas! Old man Xiao looked at the box in his hand with some disappointment and sighed.

I came up to him with a smile and patted him on the shoulder: "Hahahaha, I'm kidding you!" This Fire Devouring Pill is very useful! Without it, you really can't get the centipede beads! How could I possibly throw it away! Hahahaha. ”

When Old Man Xiao heard that I was joking with him, he was so angry that he scolded with a crooked nose and a slanted mouth: "Okay! You kid deserves to be the apprentice of the old ghost! If you don't learn the good ones, you can learn some crooked ways. In terms of generation, I am your uncle! ”

I smiled and handed over a cigarette: "Okay! All right! Lao Xiao, don't be angry! Come on, come on, smoke a cigarette and calm down! Hehe, you said that you are dozens of years old, give me a young man what to worry about! After saying that, I helped him light the cigarette.

"I'm not angry, just because you don't deserve to make me angry, even if your master comes! I'm not going to be angry. Old man Xiao spat out a big smoke ring and spoke.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you. Lao Xiao, do you really know where to get centipede beads? If we know, then we'll set off tomorrow to get the centipede beads, right? I looked at Old Man Xiao seriously.

"Yes! But now it's almost dawn. Let's go get something to eat! Then get a good night's sleep. There is no hurry to take centipede beads, and it is not easy to come to Changsha for a long time, and it doesn't matter if you play for a few more days. Old man Xiao looked out the window and said as he looked out the window and gradually revealed the white sky with fish belly.

"Hey! Is there anything else to eat? Let's get us something to eat! Old man Xiao shouted at the dozing waiter on the counter outside. It's been a long time since you've been back from the ghost market! Looks a little hungry! Let's go! I'm going to make you some noodles to fill your stomachs! Sister Hong walked over with a smile.

"Why haven't you rested yet? Staying up late is not good for your skin! As soon as Old Man Xiao saw Sister Hong coming over, he was overwhelmed with excitement.

"It's okay, I'm used to staying up late anyway, and I don't care about staying up for an extra hour or two. Sit down for a moment! I'm going to get you a bowl of noodles. Sister Hong smiled at Old Man Xiao, then turned around and pushed open the door and walked out.

"What a woman! Why don't you have a partner? If she had been a decade younger, I would have pursued her boldly. I glanced at Old Man Xiao and muttered to myself.

"Oops! Why are you beating me? "Someone suddenly flicked my head, and I hurriedly turned my head to look. I just happened to see Old Man Xiao's angry face. So he quickly explained: "I'm just talking casually, you don't have to take it seriously." ”

"How to treat her, I naturally have an opinion in my heart, and I don't need you kid to teach me." Old man Xiao snorted, then rolled his eyes at me.
