Text Chapter 8 Tellhow bathing
"What time is it?"
I didn't have anything else on me except clothes, so I had to ask Huang Jian for the time.
"Three o'clock, uh... It is... Eight thirty. Zhao Lao Xian'er should have news coming back soon. ”
Huang Jian stretched.
"Huang Ye, this old Zhao Xian'er, why did he stay in the City God Temple?"
"Oh, you ask this? This Zhao Lao Immortal is the highest cultivator of the Gray Family in the entire Jiqing City. Alas... In the city, it is very difficult to cultivate, but this Zhao Jiazi really has a set. Found the treasure of the City God Temple. ”
Just chatted for a few words, and suddenly heard the voice of Zhao Jiazi in the front yard:
"The hour is almost up. Huang Jianjian, don't reveal our bottom to the juniors, come out quickly. ”
Huang Jian smiled at me:
"Let's go, the old fairy is here"
With that, he pulled me to the front yard.
Zhao Jiazi is still standing on the incense burner in the same place yesterday. A large rat stood on his shoulder, its mouth close to his ear, as if whispering.
Seeing that we were coming, Zhao Jiazi nodded. Bending down, the rat ran down his arm, ran to the ground, and disappeared into the room in a puff of smoke.
"Good news or bad news, which one do you listen to first?"
Zhao Jiazi straightened up and said lazily.
Huang Jian replied:
"Let's start with the bad news."
"Haha, bad news...... This kid's body was taken by another ghost. ”
"Borrowing a corpse to resurrect a soul?!"
I exclaimed with Huang Jian.
"What's so strange about that?"
Zhao Jiazi gave us a blank look:
"After returning to the soul, this kid has returned to Jiqing City, and now he is taking a bath in Tellhow, and he has found several girls, who are pedicures and massages, but I am very worried that he will not be able to get out for a while, because this kid has no money to pay."
I looked at Huang Jianmian and me. I said to myself, "Who have I provoked?" How did the unlucky things happen one after another?
Huang Jian frowned, thought for a while and asked:
"How can there be a wandering ghost, and where did it come from?"
"From the county seat in the lower reaches of the Qibao River." Zhao Lao Xian'er replied.
"It must be Zhao Yuan, this kid who doesn't take care of his own territory, is getting more and more wasteful, he can't even understand it, and he still dreams of being a ghost prison all day long!"
Huang Jian scolded.
"Hey, don't be in a hurry to scold the street, I have good news. Beat you that kid found it, this kid is called Gao Liang, he knows a little bit of Maoshan Taoism, I have fought with him old fairy, and the entry level has not yet arrived, so he has not much ability. The talisman he uses to beat you is bought from the Internet, and the peachwood stick that beats you is made by himself. ”
"Where is he now?"
For Brother Stick, Huang Jian showed great enthusiasm.
"This kid is also strange, following your body that borrowed corpses to resurrect souls, and wandered around all day. Old fairy, I took a chance and fascinated this kid, what about the door of the Taihao bath at this time, you two can find it yourself. ”
After Zhao Jiazi finished speaking, he yawned and stretched his waist. He sat down in front of the main hall. Looks like he really likes this place.
Later, I became very familiar with Huang Jian, and he told me that this place is a treasure land for cultivation in feng shui.
There is a city god next to him to protect him from outsiders, so although Zhao Jiazi himself has a disciple who goes out to make incense offerings, but on a moonlit night, he will still come here to absorb the essence of moonlight.
It's easier to find the two people we want to do together, thank you to the old fairy, and Huang Jian will pick me up and leave. He drove steadily, although his speed was not as fast as Zhao Jiazi, but at least he didn't get motion sickness. Half a cup of tea, we arrived.
Northerners like to soak in ponds, because the temperature is relatively low in winter, and they can't "take a shower" at any time like the south. Therefore, there is a relatively mature "bathhouse" culture, especially in old Beijing.
Tellhow bathing is a relatively large bathing center in Jiqing City. Good environment, complete facilities and good service. There is also a key point: the sister paper is beautiful. This has nothing to do with me, because a small office worker like me, whose income is struggling on the edge of the subsistence line, will never be able to afford it.
Every time I pass by here, I can only look at the row of luxury cars parked at the door and drool. But I'm not the only one drooling today. Gao Liang was sitting on the side of the road in front of Tellhow, staring at the ground with demented eyes, also drooling......
Zhao Jiazi's spell is really not covered, I don't know what method to use, and make the highlight like this.
What's even better is that as soon as Huang Jian and I saw the highlights, he fluttered his head and sobered up, and the time was just right.
As soon as the boy came to his senses, he frowned and looked in our direction with hostility. The hand slowly reached into his arms.
As soon as Gao Liang's hand touched the placket, Huang Jian shook all over, looked nervous, and pulled me back two steps. It seems that yesterday's beating caused him a lot of psychological shadows.
Fortunately, it was not a talisman that was taken out, but a small porcelain vase. Gao Liang pulled the stopper, poured a few drops of water from the porcelain bottle, caught it with his hand, and wiped it on his forehead and eyes.
I guess the potion on his eyes will allow him to see us.
"Who the hell are you?"
This time he was not as violent as last time, and he spoke.
"I told you last time, I'm a ghost, an errand boy, legal, not a soul hooker! Maintain the order of the Three Realms! There is a waist card! ”
Huang Jian said, took out the token, and pointed at the highlight.
"See? This was awarded by the Ten Halls of Hades. Don't do it, listen to me, you messed around last time, and let this little ghost's body be borrowed by other ghosts to resurrect the soul! ”
Gao Liang looked at me, scratched his head, and seemed to think for a moment:
"It's true, after the fight with you last night, I chased down the Qibao River, and saw with my own eyes that a little ghost borrowed his corpse to resurrect his soul."
"That's it! I was going to take him back with me, but you didn't say a word, and you came up and beat him? Is there a royal law? I don't even recognize the waist card?! ”
Huang Jian has a deep resentment, and he doesn't blame him, he still has a big bag on his head, which is obvious.
Gao Liang continued to scratch his head, his face full of embarrassment:
"That's... I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll give you two clues, make meritorious atonements, and borrow the corpse to resurrect that kid into the bathing center. ”
The information provided by Zhao Laoxian was very accurate. Just listen to Huang Jian's reply:
"Don't worry about this yet, we know that this kid is in the bathing center. You'll have to do us a favor and lure him out, and we'll take care of it. As for you beating me, we'll talk about that later. ”
Gao Liang was also refreshed, and immediately agreed
"Good! I'll go in, and the tickets here aren't expensive anyway. ”
After speaking, he turned around and ran into Tellhow, and there was a shout of Qi Shushu from inside
"Hello and welcome to Tellhow! Take the slippers hand, upstairs please. One male guest! ”
In fact, it's good to be borrowed to resurrect the soul.
First, this guy borrowed my body and was able to come to the bath, indicating that he was not seriously injured.
Second, keep it fresh! No, he estimated that my body had already soaked in the river.
But seeing Gao Liang running into the Tellhow bath, I was still in a hurry, after all, the body was not his, and hurriedly said to Huang Jian:
"Shall we go in?"
"Hehe, we can't get in. You see, Guan Erye is in charge, how dare we make a mistake? ”
Huang Jian pointed into the door, and I followed the direction he pointed and looked into the door.
Sure enough, in the middle of the Tellhow Hall, there was a statue of Guan Gong, majestic, with the Qinglong Yanyue Knife on his back obliquely in his right hand, the head of the knife downward, and his left hand holding a pair of ink hair on his chest.
No wonder Huang Jian asked Gao Liang to go in and lure people out, it turned out that the two of us couldn't get in.
"I said Huang Ye, this... In this kind of place, can Guan Erye protect them? ”
"Hehe, I don't know much about this, but he should have opened the light with a master. Master Guan is the god of martial arts, he has a murderous aura, and he can calm the field, and I can feel that murderous aura at the door. Come on, let's stand at the back station. ”
After saying that, Huang Jian pulled me back a few more steps.
Since you can't get in, now you can only wait for the kid to lure people out.
Although I have only seen two sides to Gao Liang, the feeling that this kid gives me can be described in two words - "two"! "Leng"!
With such a big bathing center, I don't know if he can find "me".
As it turned out, I was overthinking.
Half an hour later, there was a lot of chaos in the Tellhow bath, and then a young man in a bathrobe rushed down from the upper floor.
Behind him, he was neatly dressed and brandished his trademark bat.
Gao Liang is followed by a few security guards, don't look at these security guards, they are just putting on a show at this time, and they are only paying a salary of eight hundred a month, and they will definitely not rush up to play with their lives.
Behind him, followed by several men in bathrobes, holding mobile phones and recording ......
Alas, there is no shortage of lively ...... everywhere you go
"Stop fighting!"
"Stop!"
"What's going on?"
Shouting was mixed with the sound of heckling, and the lobby was in chaos.
I'll take a look! Isn't it "me" who is running at the front?
