Volume 1: Apprentice Onmyoji Chapter 8: The Old Beggar

"I also stumbled upon that the toy wooden gun in my hand was actually an aura!" Xu Shiying rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly.

"Aim, labor and management don't want to see that damn bird for a second." Wang Sen urged, and the slingshot fired bullets from time to time to prevent the golden bird from concentrating, so as not to be wary of the spirit spear in Xu Shiying's hand.

Xu Shiying was a little nervous, a little curious, and more excited, but now was not the time to be excited, and he was still figuring out how to use the spirit spear for the first time.

It's not quite the same as the ordinary way of using guns, just on the problem of aiming, the three-point-line method can't be used, there is no crosshair and you can't aim, there is only one bullet, and it's not easy to recondense one.

The rickshaw was pecked out of several holes by the golden birds, the cool breeze blew on the body, shivering from the cold, and a red alarm sounded in the car, once the arranged formation was destroyed, they were a little more dangerous.

After looking for a long time and failing to find the aiming star, Xu Shiying simply gave up aiming and pulled the trigger with his finger, which was just a big deal to bleed more later.

The moment the trigger was pulled, a blood-red six-pointed star appeared out of thin air at the muzzle of the gun, and the six-pointed star was covered with strange words and symbols. In the middle of the six-pointed star is a clock-like disk, engraved with the numbers 1 to 12 in capital letters.

When the six-pointed star scanned the figure of the golden bird, the disc in the middle of the six-pointed star rotated wildly, and Xu Shiying was surprised to find that no matter how the golden bird moved, the disk could accurately capture its tracks.

This thing actually has its own positioning system, Xu Shiying suddenly had confidence, the trigger was pulled to the end, and the blood beads flew out of the car slowly, without an aura bonus, let alone an amazing speed.

However, the golden bird panicked, Wang Sen's marble attack hit head-on, the golden bird sensed the crisis and fled regardless of the U-turn, the blood bead was like an eye, no matter where it flew, the blood bead would follow.

Looking at the back of the golden bird fleeing, Wang Sen scolded and said, "Niang Xipi, labor and management are waiting for the moment when your ass blooms." ”

The blood beads locked on the golden bird, probably tired of playing, and suddenly accelerated into a blood net to firmly buckle the golden bird, the blood net tightly trapped the body, the body of the golden bird began to emit black smoke, the cry was miserable and piercing, and after a while, the golden bird turned into a cloud of ashes.

At the moment when the golden bird turned into ashes, a scorching red light lit up in a dark room, and the door was blown open by the strong wind, crunching and thinking, by the bright moonlight, a red high heel next to the bed was particularly conspicuous.

……

"Brother, you are so powerful, this damn bird finally saw the Buddha gone, so you don't have to follow us and report your whereabouts to that evil ghost." Wang Sen took one out of the cigarette case, put it in his mouth and lit it, took a deep breath, and smiled with satisfaction on his face.

Xu Shiying rubbed his nose and smiled embarrassedly, first putting a band-aid on his injured finger, and then playing with the wooden gun that had returned to its normal state, hoping to find more functions.

At this moment, the rickshaw whistled to remind them that their destination had arrived, Xu Shiying and Wang Sen stepped off the rickshaw, as far as the eye could see, and saw a small hut not far ahead, thinking that coming there was the destination of their trip.

The two walked in, there were cobwebs everywhere, and there were a few black earthworms at the door trying to crawl forward, bypassing the earthworms, and the two of them looked around at the thatched house, and there was no one in it, but there were a few oversized tarantulas staring at them fiercely, warning the intruders who had rushed in, and spit silk a few times faster than usual.

Xu Shiying waved his hand to search for the cobwebs blocking the way, a cool breeze blew, shivering from the cold, but he did not find half a figure, and the items in the thatched house were clear at a glance, except for a worn-out straw mat, which could be said to be empty.

"Senior, I'm here!"

Xu Shiying shouted loudly at the top of his voice, Wang Sen reached into the crotch of his pants with one hand and kept grabbing it, and the marbles in the other hand were in his hand to guard against a sudden attack.

shouted a few times, no one responded in the thatched house, the owner may have something to go out, Wang Sen grabbed the crotch of his pants for a long time and had some urgency, it was too cold outside and didn't want to go, his eyes lit up when he saw the shabby mat, it was really a good place for a wide world.

Wang Sen came to the mat, was about to lift the mat, and then opened the sluice to release water, saw the mat move, he thought it was a mistake to pout, just about to take off his pants, heard a deafening snoring, the mat with the snoring to reveal the figure inside.

It was an old man with a flushed face, thinly dressed and holding a wine gourd in his hand, the liquid overflowing from the corners of his mouth seemed to be falling, and the snoring sound came from his mouth.

"Brother, I found it!"

Xu Shiying was looking around, and when he heard Wang Sen's voice, he walked over and asked, "Brother Sen, what did you find?" ”

Wang Sen pointed to the old man under the mat, looked at Xu Shiying and said, "I think, he may be the person you are looking for." “

"No, how could the seniors sleep under the mat, what kind of brain circuit is this?"

Xu Shiying couldn't believe that the seniors who helped him would be sleeping here, he remembered that the voices of the seniors before were strong and powerful, with his guess that it might be a middle-aged man, how could it be an old man?

Xu Shiying and Wang Sen spoke too loudly, the old man frowned, stopped snoring, slowly opened his eyes, and happened to see Wang Sen, who didn't lift his pants, and said disdainfully: "The spear is so small, how to establish a three-thousand-year harem, benefit mankind, and complete the important task of reproducing offspring?" ”

Wang Sen was the one who was willing to suffer, looked the old man up and down and said, "Can the silver gun still be loaded?" Do you want to buy some milk powder for you to lubricate, so as not to be able to squeeze out and be embarrassed. “

How could the old man not hear that Wang Sen was sarcastic about him, so he immediately lifted the mat and stood up, took off his pants and shouted: "Labor and management are still urinating against the wind, boy, dare to compare?" “

Wang Sen was furious, thinking that he had been crisscrossing the city's red light district for many years, and there were still people who doubted his strength, "It's better than that, let you know that the god is called the king of guns!" ”

The old man sneered: "Boy, don't cry if you lose later!" ”

Xu Shiying was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly grabbed Wang Sen and whispered to him: "Brother Sen, we are here to find our seniors, don't be like this." ”

Wang Sen shook off Xu Shiying's palm and said: "Brother, don't stop me, I want to compete with this old man, I actually said that I have a small spear, and we haven't lost in this regard." ”

However, the old man listened to Xu Shiying's words, glanced at him and said, "Your kid is the one who needs the Qi Relief Pill?" ”

Xu Shiying nodded, bent down with his hands into fists and said respectfully: "It's been a while since the ghost qi entered my body, and I ask my seniors to come to the rescue!" “

The old man put on his pants and didn't answer, shook the wine gourd in his hand and found that there was no wine in it, threw the wine gourd to Xu Shiying and said, "The wine is gone, go and call the old man Hanako and I'll get a pot back!" ”

"Hey, old man, don't go too far, you know that my brother is affected by the ghost qi and has difficulty moving, and you still want him to go to drink, I ......"

Before Wang Sen finished speaking, Xu Shiying shook his head to stop him from continuing, and with the wine gourd, the old beggar told him that there was a pergola in the south, and a middle-aged man was selling bulk wine, and asked him to go there and buy some back.

Knowing the place where the wine was sold, Xu Shiying nodded, and wanted to ask Wang Sen to borrow two spirit stones and go to drink by himself, after all, it was his own business, but Wang Sen was not at ease and had to go with him, for fear that he would encounter danger on the road.

Unable to resist Wang Sen, Xu Shiying had no choice but to agree, as soon as the two of them went out to drink in the place that the old beggar said, the old beggar looked at the backs of the two of them, and the corners of his mouth turned up and muttered: "The body of the extreme yin, I haven't seen it for many years, maybe I can ...... it."

It was already desolate, and after walking a short distance, I saw the pergola that the old beggar said, a middle-aged man with a straw hat and a white vest lying on a bench and fanning himself to rest, with a few jars of daughter red resting on the table, and a well behind him.

The two of them stepped forward quickly, and Xu Shiying lifted a jar of daughter and said, "Boss, how do you sell this wine?" ”

The middle-aged man picked up the straw hat covering his face, and when he saw Xu Shiying and Wang Sen, he said indifferently: "Ten red spirit stones for a pot of wine, no bargaining!" ”

"Damn, uncle, you're too dark, aren't you? Just like that, a pot of wine and ten red spirit stones!! ”

Before Xu Shiying could speak, Wang Sen suddenly exclaimed when he heard the price of wine, and turned to Xu Shiying and said, "Brother, let's go for a walk and buy it elsewhere, my brother knows that several wines are very good." ”

The middle-aged man did not have the joy of the seller meeting the buyer, his face was flat, as if it didn't matter if you bought it or not, he stretched out his palm and made a gesture of please, and continued to lie on the chair to rest.

Xu Shiying didn't move, he knew that the old beggar might have his intentions when he asked him to come here to buy wine, to be honest, he was not too embarrassed to spend Wang Sen's money, if he didn't spend Wang Sen's money, he would come to the underground black market for the first time, and he didn't know how to earn spirit stones, and now he was penniless.

The spirit gun in his arms may be worth a few spirit stones, but the gun belongs to someone else, and he has to return it to others after use, and the gun can't be sold, so after thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to borrow it.

Xu Shiying asked Wang Sen for ten spirit stones and said to the middle-aged man: "I bought this jar of wine!" ”

The middle-aged man opened his eyes, looked at Xu Shiying and shook his head and said, "This wine has twenty red spirit stones, no bargaining!" ”

", sit on the ground and start the price, is this slaughtering us as local tyrants? Let's go, brother, it's just a pot of wine, it's not worth spending money. Wang Sen said angrily.

However, no matter how Wang Sen shouted, the middle-aged man didn't look at him, looked directly at Xu Shiying and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have spirit stones, you can exchange it for something of the same value on your body." ”

Xu Shiying was stunned for a moment, he still had something that a middle-aged man had a fancy, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is it?" ”

"Blood!"

"A bottle of blood, for a pot of wine, a hammer for a sale!" Under the calm gaze of the middle-aged man, the heat flashed in his eyes.

"Good!"

Although he didn't know what his blood did, it shouldn't be a loss to resist the good wine worth twenty spirit stones, so Xu Shiying chose to exchange it without hesitation.

A hint of strangeness flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, obviously he didn't expect him to agree so happily, on the other hand, Wang Sen was uncharacteristically silent, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

Since no one objected, Xu Shiying asked the middle-aged man what to do, and the middle-aged man asked him to sit down, roll up his sleeves and then don't move.

The white nail cover of the little finger of the middle-aged man's left hand cut through the blood vessels in Xu Shiying's wrist, and he took out the white jade bottle that had been prepared long ago, and the hot blood flowed into the bottle along the wound, and the blood flowed tick-tock, strangely consistent with the beating sound of the heart.

It was supposed to hurt when his wrist was cut, but he didn't feel a trace of pain, as if it wasn't him who was hurt, but a bystander.
