Chapter 216: Heading South Again
Seeing that what fell from the old ghost corpse was a round piece the size of a copper coin, Xiao Laodao hurriedly covered his hand with his sleeve, walked closer, and picked up the thing through his sleeve.
The master also walked over and looked at the thing, it was black, and it was as thick as two copper plates stacked together, and the master asked Xiao Laodao, "What is this?" ā
Xiao Laodao said with a smile: "This is a good thing, this is a piece of 'tongue suppression jade', which is contained in the mouth of a dead man!" ā
When the master heard this, he immediately frowned, feeling a little embarrassed, Xiao Laodao saw this and hurriedly said: "Don't underestimate this thing, it also has another name, called 'Dingyan Jade', put it in the mouth of the dead, you can keep the body from rotting, the old ghost can become a green-haired zombie, this thing is only afraid of the contribution." ā
The master looked disdainful and said, "Since you can turn a corpse into a zombie, then it's not a good thing, destroy it." ā
"Brother, that's a mistake!" Xiao Laodao hurriedly said: "Although this jade seems to be unremarkable, it is not easy to obtain, you need to take the best jade core of the jade in the jade, polish it by a famous craftsman, and then nourish it with a virgin body for three years before you can wear it." Those who wear this jade need to put the jade piece under the tongue for half an hour every day, and do not swallow it, so that the jade can absorb the tongue and breathe, and wait until the person who wears this jade dies, and then press the jade piece under the tongue of the deceased, and use the jade piece to get angry and keep the body of the deceased from rotting. ā
When the master heard this, he frowned again and said, "Does Brother Xiao still want to sell this jade and press it under the tongue of other deceased?" ā
Xiao Laodao smiled and waved his hand, and said: "It can't be sold at the moment, you see that this jade piece is black, it was originally milky white, we need to find another place, raise the jade for three years, and wait for it to recover its original color, and then find someone to sell it......"
Before Xiao Lao finished speaking, the master snatched the jade piece from his hand coldly, fixed a mountain stone under his feet, and smashed the jade piece with a "snap".
When Xiao Laodao saw it, he was immediately dumbfounded, "Brother, what are you doing, what are you doing!" ā
The grandfather said, "I don't want another zombie in the future. ā
"Oops......" Xiao Laodao looked at the fragmented jade pieces and felt very distressed, but he couldn't blame the master, showing a dumb expression that he couldn't say if he ate Coptis chinensis.
At this time, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi were already churning around the corpse of the old ghost, each of them holding a wooden stick in their hands, picking a few times here and stabbing a few times on the corpse of the old ghost, not to mention, a few objects really fell out of the corpse. Seeing this, Xiao Laodao hurriedly pulled my grandfather aside, for fear that the grandfather would drop those things again.
When Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi finished tossing the corpse, several people found a pile of firewood and burned the old ghost's body into a ball of black charcoal on the spot.
Since then, the experience of the evil Taoist, the rehmannia spirit, the gopher spirit, the ugly Taoist, and the old ghost is over.
Subsequently, the grandfather and a few people returned from the old ghost tomb and returned to the small mountain village before, but they did not alarm the villagers, and a few people quietly climbed up the South Mountain, and kowtowed respectfully in front of the grave of the ugly Taoist. Xiao Laodao also said solemnly at the grave: Brother Dao's great kindness and virtue will not be forgotten in this life......
Afterwards, several people crossed the mountains and marched south again.
A few days later, several people entered the Sichuan and Shu realm, more than ten days later, came to a place called Pangjiazhuang, this Zhuangzi is almost all bamboo houses, one by one, the whole Zhuangzi is located in a flat land in the middle of the mountainside, around the Zhuangzi, there is a bamboo forest growing one by one, the whole looks beautiful, the scenery is pleasant.
It was noon, and there was not much dry food left in the baggage, so a few people found a tavern in Zhuangzi, planning to eat first and then calculate where to go next. At this time, the business in the tavern was still quite prosperous, and when the grandfather and a few people entered, there was only the last table left, and there would be no place if it was any later.
After taking a seat, Xiao Laodao ordered a few dishes, and at the same time, Xiao Laodao swept all the guests in the tavern.
After a while, the wine and food were ready, but before everyone could move their chopsticks, two people broke in from outside the tavern.
As soon as the two of them entered the door, they first swept all the customers in the store, and when the shopkeeper saw this, he hurriedly greeted him, "Two masters, the small store is already full, or ...... Let's go to another house. ā
"What? Ge Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is going to eat here today! "The mouth full of Sichuan flavor seems to be a local snake.
The two big men said, and swept the customers in the store again, and when the eyes of the two big men looked at the grandfather and a few people, the master also glanced at them, with a calm face. When the master is not angry, he looks like a weak, harmless scholar.
The eyes of the two big men quickly swept over from the grandfather and a few people, and finally, their eyes fell on a dinner table next to them.
At this dinner table sat a man and a woman, like a husband and wife, with a five or six-year-old child by his side, the man looked thin and weak, with a headscarf on his head, and the woman looked like a village girl in the mountains, judging from their clothes and eyebrows, the two people seemed to come from the deep mountains, and they had never seen anything in the world, perhaps they were passing by by relatives.
One of the big men looked at it, walked up to the man in a few steps, and pulled the man up from the stool, the man was caught off guard, the chopsticks in his hand fell off, and the stool also turned over.
"Ge Lao Tzu, you dare to sit on Lao Tzu's table, get out!" The big man grabbed the man and shook it, the man stumbled, and the big man immediately made up for it, and the man was kicked to the ground with a "poof".
"What are you doing...... the woman was shocked and frightened when she saw this, and pulled the child to stand up from the stool, and the child was so frightened that she cried "wow".
Seeing this, the master gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, Xiao Laodao glanced at the master, and knocked on the plate in front of the master with the chopsticks in his hand, as if to say, eat your meal, don't be nosy.
The master glanced coldly at the two big men, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat.
After a while, the husband and wife and their children were dragged and thrown out of the tavern by two big men, and the family of three cried outside the store for a while, and finally left helplessly.
The two big men then beckoned the shopkeeper to remove the pig food on the table, and the good wine and food were quickly served.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper immediately grinned, and turned into a bitter gourd face, but he didn't dare to be disobedient, nodded again and again, turned around and went to the back hall, and after a while, he served two jars of old wine and four plates of cooked meat to the two big men.
Seeing this, Xiao Laodao took advantage of the two big men to eat and drink, and greeted the shopkeeper with a smile, and the shopkeeper came to the front and bowed, "This Daoist, do you need anything else?" ā
Xiao Laodao didn't say anything, and beckoned to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper understood, and poked his head in front of Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao asked him in a low voice, "Xiaoer, do you see that these two masters who just came, after eating and drinking, will they give you food money?" ā
The shopkeeper was stunned, as if he didn't expect Xiao Laodao to ask him this, the shopkeeper secretly glanced at the two big men, and shook his head timidly.
Xiao Laodao asked again: "If you don't pay for food, what should you do?" ā
The shopkeeper swallowed dryly, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, Xiao Laodao smiled again, "They won't give you food money, right?" ā
The shopkeeper swallowed dryly again, "This master, I still have something to do, if you have nothing to do, I'll be busy first." ā
"Hey, don't go in a hurry." Xiao Laodao grabbed him, "To be honest, do they give money for food?" ā
The shopkeeper looked very embarrassed, and glanced at the two big men again, maybe he saw the two big men eating and drinking, and didn't pay attention to him, so the shopkeeper lowered his voice and said timidly: "This Taoist master, you are from other places, you don't know, these two masters have come to the shop to eat and drink for nothing once or twice, don't dare to provoke it, otherwise, they can burn the small shop with a fire." ā
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he smiled again, and said with a mysterious expression: "Today is different from the past, have you seen the four masters on the table behind me?" ā
When the shopkeeper heard this, he turned his head and was about to look behind Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao hurriedly pulled him, "Don't look at them, let me tell you, you give those four masters a jar of good wine now, and you can get back the money for these two sloppy meals today." ā
"What?" The shopkeeper was stunned, and didn't seem to understand what Xiao Laodao said.
Xiao Laodao said again, word by word, "Give the four masters behind me, a jar of good wine, today's meal money, you can come back!" ā
The shopkeeper blinked his eyes twice, looking puzzled, "Master Dao, aren't you joking with me, give these four masters the altar wine, and the food money for those two...... IāI'm going to be able to come back? ā
Xiao Laodao glanced at the shopkeeper, "What, don't believe me?" Xiao Laodao stretched out his hand and took out a small ingot of silver from his arms and put it on the corner of the table, "Take the silver, give them the altar wine, if you can't get the money back for these two splashed meals, the silver will belong to you, if you get it back, the silver will be returned to me." ā
When the shopkeeper heard this, he looked at Xiao Laodao, and then at the silver, he looked dazed and suspicious, and Xiao Laodao immediately added, "You just said that it was given to them by your store, but don't say that I paid for it." ā
"Hey!" Perhaps driven by the silver, the shopkeeper picked up the silver from the table and went backstage.
At the dinner table behind Xiao Laodao, there were four men sitting, one looked about forty years old, middle-aged, and the other three, looking in their early twenties, young people, all four of them were quite energetic.
The master didn't understand what was going on at this time, and asked Xiao Laodao, why did he ask the shopkeeper to give them wine? Xiao Laodao smiled and didn't answer, but only whispered, you wait to watch the show......
At this time, the shopkeeper held a jar of wine and put it on the dining table behind Xiao Laodao, and heard the middle-aged man say to the shopkeeper, "Xiaoer, the wine is wrong, this jar of wine is not what we want." ā
The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded, "It's yours, this is what our small shop specially gave to the four masters, the four masters, please use it slowly." After speaking, the shopkeeper didn't wait for the four people to say anything, turned around and ran away.
The four people looked at each other, one of the young men raised his hand to open the altar lid, the middle-aged man glanced at him, the young man hurriedly stuffed the altar lid back, and no one moved the wine jar again, but the master found that several people's faces had not looked very good.
When he was young, the two big men were full of wine and food, got up and left, the shopkeeper subconsciously glanced at Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao nodded at him slightly, and the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted the two big men, "Two masters, this meal is ...... money"
Before he finished speaking, one of the big men suddenly glared at him, "What a wine and food money!" ā
"That's it...... It's ......"
"Give you food money!"
"When" the ground, the big man punched the shopkeeper in the face, the shopkeeper immediately bleeds from his mouth and nose, oops, and screamed: "Beat people, beat people......"
"you!" The big man raised another kick and kicked the shopkeeper to the ground, and the two big men turned around and were about to leave.
At this moment, there was a "snap" sound on the table behind Xiao Laodao, as if someone slapped the table hard, and Xiao Laodao suddenly laughed.
"In broad daylight, there is no law, take it for me!"
The middle-aged man didn't move, and the three young men immediately stood up, rushed to the two big men, and couldn't help but say, three times five divided by two, and the two big men knelt on the ground.
The two big men are obviously two soft eggs, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, seeing that the momentum is not right, they hurriedly begged the middle-aged man for mercy, "Uncle spare your life, uncle spare your life......"
