Chapter 142: New Situation
In the next moment, Hammer suddenly opened his eyes, and then straightened his claws and torso, and stretched comfortably.
Li Huaishan looked at the hammer I held in my hand with a helpless expression.
I looked at him, "Why do you have such an expression?" β
Li Huaishan: "Do you really want to call it a hammer in the future, it's so awkward." β
I first smiled at Li Huaishan, and then turned to the hammer: "Do you like your new name?" β
Unexpectedly, as soon as I spoke, the hammer suddenly opened its mouth wide and took a firm bite on my tiger's mouth, I couldn't bear the pain, and my hand suddenly lost strength.
The hammer jumped on my shoulder, and with a quick reach, he took the small cloth bag that was used to hold the keel.
It moved so fast that before I could regain my senses, it jumped to the ground and ran towards the mouth of the alley like a black bolt of lightning.
I watched as its back disappeared into the darkness outside the mouth of the alley, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Li Huaishan stuck out his tongue: "It seems that it doesn't like it at all." β
I frowned and asked Li Huaishan: "Why don't you like it, Iron Hammer, more down-to-earth names?" β
Li Huaishan rolled his eyes at me: "You have a problem with aesthetics." β
The last time Li Huaishan and I walked to the mouth of the alley, we were blocked by an invisible hidden door, and this time, when we raised our feet and stepped over the alley, we first felt that our feet were empty, and then we felt that the scene in front of us trembled rapidly, and a bright light suddenly appeared in the sky.
When my vision returned to normal, I realized that I had returned to the door of the thrift store, and Li Huaishan was standing behind me.
I immediately took out my phone and looked at the date and time, it was ten o'clock in the morning, the date was the same as when we entered the back alley, there was no change.
In other words, it has only been three or four hours since we entered the back alley.
In order to confirm, I ran to Boss Jiang's shop to ask about the time, when Boss Jiang was about to go to the old house of the Gang family, and when he saw me enter the door of their store, he immediately frowned: "Why are you two here, aren't you looking for a civet cat?" β
I said, "I've found it." β
Boss Jiang looked behind me: "Where is it?" β
yes, where did it go? I haven't seen it since it stoodle into the back alley.
I immediately looked back at Li Huaishan, and Li Huaishan said, "I'll go to the thrift store and have a look." "Just walk out of the store.
As soon as he went out, Boss Jiang came up to me and looked at me with very surprised eyes: "You really brought the civet back?" β
I nodded: "I just brought it back, but it bit me just now, and it doesn't seem to recognize me as its master." β
"So fast?" Boss Jiang muttered to himself, "It's only been a long time." β
As soon as she said that, I knew there was nothing wrong with the date on my phone.
At this time, Boss Jiang said to me again: "If not, you call Li Huaishan and go to the old house of the family with me." β
I said, "Isn't the competition starting tomorrow, why are you in such a hurry to go to the old house?" β
Boss Jiang sighed: "I only got the news yesterday, saying that Zhao Zongxin from Jisoul Village came uninvited, and it is estimated that he is drinking tea in the lobby of the house now." β
I scratched my temple: "Who is Zhao Zongxin?" β
Boss Jiang: "The head of the Yuxian lineage of the Soul Zhuang, this person is very troublesome, and this time he came by himself, so it is even more troublesome." β
I sighed: "The competition is troublesome enough, why is this No. 1 person here again?" β
"Actually, to you, Zhao Zongxin is just an ordinary senior," Boss Jiang said as he walked towards the door: "But for those of us who have no sect and no sect, he is a big trouble. β
I went out with Boss Jiang, and Li Huaishan also ran over in a hurry.
I raised my chin at him, "Did you find the cat?" β
Li Huaishan pointed to his face: "What do you say? β
At this time, there were several more claw marks on his face, and one of them was deeply wounded, and faintly oozing blood.
"That cat is really fierce enough," Li Huaishan came to me babblingly: "I just touched its back lightly, and it turned out to be scratching when it pounced." What are you doing here? β
Boss Jiang beckoned to him: "Let's go, go back to the old house of the family." β
Li Huaishan didn't talk nonsense, and followed with his backpack.
When passing by the scrap shop, Boss Jiang called Boss Yu again.
Originally, she wanted to take Boss Wen with her, but Boss Wen didn't object at first, but just asked before going out: "It's only the tenth year festival tomorrow, what are you going to do in the old mansion now?" β
Boss Yu responded: "Zhao Zongxin is here." β
As soon as he opened his mouth, Boss Wen's face immediately fell, and he excused himself to stay in the old alley to maintain law and order, so he wouldn't go to the ghost strings.
I noticed that when the three words "Zhao Zongxin" popped out of Boss Yu's mouth, Boss Wen was angry.
It was also out of curiosity that I asked Boss Jiang if Boss Wen and the person named Zhao Zongxin had any troubles, and Boss Jiang said that he didn't know what happened between the two, only that the relationship between Boss Wen and Zhao Zongxin was indeed very poor.
Once when Boss Jiang invited Boss Wen to dinner, Boss Wen drank too much and said something like "I don't get along with Zhao Zongxin when I get along".
Since Boss Jiang doesn't know much about the inside story, I didn't break the casserole to ask the end, anyway, in our industry, the relationship between people has always been more complicated, your friend may be my enemy, and your enemy may also be my friend, this kind of thing is normal.
When our group returned to the ghost skewers, Yan Yanan and Yan Liyan were standing at the mouth of the skewers, discussing something very intensely.
Boss Jiang waved his hand at Yan Yanan: "Is there anything new?" β
Yu Yanan turned her head, but she saw me and Li Huaishan at a glance, she obviously didn't expect us to bring back the civet cat so quickly, and her face turned black on the spot: "You two ...... Didn't go to the back alley? β
Boss Jiang explained for us: "They have already found the civet cat. β
Yu Liyan couldn't help but exclaim: "So fast! β
Yan Yanan asked me: "You came to the ghost skewers, did you make a special trip to find the second master?" β
I knew what she meant, so I said to her, "I just brought back the cat now, but I haven't taken it yet, and it's useless to find the second master now." β
Hearing me say this, Yan Yanan sighed as if relieved, and asked me again: "Then do you know how to stimulate the Netherworld Treasure?" β
I nodded: "I only know the method of summoning the ghost gate, but I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know if it will succeed." β
Boss Jiang interjected: "Yanan, is there a new situation on the little devil's side?" β
Yan Yanan scratched the corner of his skirt a little irritably, and then said to me, "I plan to kill you all this time." β
I said, "He changed the tournament list?" β
"Not really." Yan Yanan said: "He invited a master from the Qingquan Sect to come over. β
I couldn't understand it at this moment: "Can you still invite people from outside to participate in the competition within the family?" β
Yan Yanan: "Of course not. He invited that person not to fight you in the ring of the Ten Year Festival, but to drive you out of the house after the contest is over, and whether you can win the contest or not, you will be kicked out. β
Boss Jiang's eyes widened suddenly: "Why did you invite that guy?" β
Yan Yanan nodded helplessly.
I couldn't help but ask, "Who the hell did he bring in?" What kind of outsiders can drive the family out of the family? β
No one answered my question, only Yu Liyan said: "You don't have to be too pessimistic, didn't the second master invite Zhao Zongxin, with this old thing, the surname Su shouldn't be too rampant." β
I probably understood a little and asked Yu Liyan, "You brought my mother's family here?" β
Yu Liyan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded at me: "He invited him, but he is the number one master of the Su family, not to mention the old Su family, this person is a very important person in the long business." It is said that the news of your return to the family's house has long been spread in the industry, and the Su family should have gotten the news a long time ago, they have not moved before, we all thought that they no longer planned to pursue the matter of Feng Yu and Su Yao, but we didn't expect ......"
When Yan Liyan was talking, Yan Yanan and Boss Jiang kept making eyes at him, but he was too involved in talking, and he didn't notice the actions of Yan Yanan and Boss Jiang at all, until he was halfway through the words, he realized that he was talking too much, so he quickly stopped.
I know that his next words must involve those secrets that the second master refused to tell me.
I originally wanted to try to get a clichΓ© from the mouth of Yu Liyan, but the seventh master appeared at the mouth of the string no sooner or later, his expression was very anxious when he came, and as he walked, he looked around, and at first glance, he came out to find someone.
When he was about to reach the mouth of the skewer, his gaze passed through Boss Jiang and Yan Yanan, and finally fell on me.
Like Yan Yanan, the first thing the Seventh Master said when he saw me was: "Why didn't you go to the back alley?" β
I said, "I've brought the civet out." β
"So fast?" The seventh master was startled at first, and then beckoned to me: "You come with me, and the second dog will also come." β
After the seventh master finished speaking, he drilled into the skewers, and I chased after him at a trot, and when I arrived at the seventh master, I asked again: "Seventh master, the person you were looking for just now was not me, right?" β
The seventh master turned his head sideways to look at me: "How do you know that I came out to find someone?" β
I smiled: "You can see it by looking at the expression." β
"Well, you're growing up really fast." The seventh master first said this, and then changed the topic: "I originally came out to find the third brother, but since you are here, you don't need to look for him anymore." β
The seventh master walked very fast, and in just a few words, he took us over several alleys.
During this period, I looked at those alleys, and I saw that each alley was full of people, and everyone was in a hurry like the Seventh Master.
I couldn't help but ask the seventh master: "Why is everyone in a hurry, what's wrong?" β
The Seventh Master sighed: "This ten-year festival, I invited more than 20 sects in one go, these sects, one is more troublesome than the other, and our old family is about to mess up." β
