When I turned to look at Da Hei, I felt Li Huaishan touch my back, and then I heard him say, "Why do you have hair on your body?" It's going to glow! ”

Under the illumination of the light, the few fine hairs that Li Huaishan pinched in his hands did exude a golden brilliance.

I immediately realized that the thing that had pressed on my back in my sleep was the civet cat!

At this time, Li Huaishan also recognized the origin of these hairs, and immediately looked at me with wide eyes: "Have you seen that cat?" ”

I shook my head, "I didn't see it, but it did appear when I was sleeping." ”

Li Huaishan exhaled, blew away the cat hair in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "In other words, the civet cat has come to you?" Then don't we have to go to the back alley? ”

I scratched my temples and asked, "Did you see the cat when it came to my bedroom?" ”

Da Hei was writing with a cinnabar pen, and Xiao Hei was standing next to it, looking intently at the words on the paper, neither of them was on my side, and they didn't hear me speak.

I didn't ask any more, and stared at the words that Hei wrote down one by one.

I saw Da Hei write: "The Netherworld Tongbao was not originally like this, when it was first refined, the whole body was black, and when Yuan Tiangang put it in the Yin Cao, it grew rust and turned dark green again." ”

I spread my palm again and looked at the ancient coin in my hand, it was indeed a very bright new green now, and there were still grains of scarlet on it from time to time.

"Do you want to say that the Netherworld Treasure has become different from before, or is it that the things in my hand are not genuine products refined by Yuan Tiangang at all?"

Taking advantage of the time when Da Hei stopped writing, I opened my mouth to ask.

Dahei wrote on the paper again: "It's genuine, it's not the same as before." ”

I asked, "Why is it not the same as before?" ”

Da Hei shook his head at me, Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, and then began to shake his head, and the two of them couldn't explain why the Netherworld Tongbao had changed like this.

I scratched my temples in confusion and asked them, "Did you see the civet when it appeared in the bedroom?" ”

Xiao Hei shook his head directly, and Da Hei wrote on the paper: "The civet cat has not come." ”

Haven't been here? And what is it that is lying on my back?

I pondered for a moment and asked, "What were you two doing from four to five o'clock in the afternoon?" ”

As soon as I asked, I looked at the wall clock on the wall, and then Hei wrote on the paper: "It was only four o'clock when I looked at my watch just now, why is it suddenly past five o'clock?" ”

I raised my chin at Li Huaishan: "What time is it?" ”

Li Huaishan took out his mobile phone and looked at it: "Five twenty-three." ”

It's not the wall clock that's wrong!

I then asked Daikoku, "When was the last time you looked at your watch?" ”

Da Hei wrote: "Ten minutes ago. ”

Ten minutes? In other words, the hour from the last time Da Hei looked at his watch to the present is equivalent to only ten minutes have passed.

In other words, it is very likely that the memories of the big and small black in this hour have been emptied.

You must know that they are ghost pawns, condensed by the pure yin qi of the underworld, who can have such great power to change their memories?

Did the civet do it? If it really did it, then its Taoism is probably more than two or three realms higher than that of the third master.

Or maybe the big and small black did not have amnesia, but when the civet cat appeared, their perception of time had problems.

At this time, Li Huaishan came to me, stretched out his hand and patted my arm: "Shall we go to the back alley?" ”

I sighed, "Go." Whether the civet cat had come to me or not, it didn't seem to want me to find its tracks. Or maybe he's just waiting for me to look for it in the back alley. ”

Li Huaishan: "Then you are still delaying time here?" Let's hurry up and eat, and then go to the back alley. ”

I waved my hand and said to him, "It's not time yet." The second master asked Yu Liyan to take the words, and asked us to enter the back alley tomorrow and come out before the day after tomorrow. ”

Li Huaishan scratched his scalp a little irritably: "That's the end, I originally made an appointment with Zhang Jianbao, and I planned to go fishing tomorrow." ”

"What kind of fish to catch, the second master told me early in the morning, as long as I don't leave the alley, you can't leave, leave you alone to eat out today, I have broken the rules of the second master, and I don't know how he will toss the two of us afterwards."

"Then what to do, I have made an appointment with Zhang Jianbao." Li Huaishan said with a bitter and hateful face.

I shrugged my shoulders: "Pushed, what else can I do?" ”

As I spoke, I walked towards the bedroom door, and when I reached the door, I didn't forget to let the big and small black put away the pen and ink on the ground.

Li Huaishan bought ten catties of mutton from Lao Mona according to my instructions, and went to Boss Jiang's store to get a few small noodles and came back, and brought a small bag of peanuts, which was prepared for Da Hei.

Anyway, Da Hei would run out to find something to eat in the early hours of the morning, prepare it for him in advance, and save him from prying Boss Jiang's door again.

In fact, I can't figure it out, Da Hei is obviously a spirit, why do he still eat, not to mention that he looks like he is half dead and dying after eating, why bother himself?

After eating, Li Huaishan and I packed a dry food package in advance, and then I brought a futon and let him sleep on the sofa in the hall, and only after he laid the quilt did I go back to my bedroom.

This night, we need to do our best to recharge our batteries, and tomorrow we will enter the back alley, and we don't know what to expect.

After all, Yan Yanan also said that the back alley is the residence of the ghost, I don't know what the "ghost" in her mouth refers to, but they must be some powerful evil things.

At five o'clock the next morning, Li Huaishan and I got up for dinner, and when the hour hand of the wall clock had just crossed the seventh scale, Li Huaishan put on his backpack, and I took all the magic utensils, as well as some medicinal herbs and old rice, and took him from the thrift store to the tobacco shop near the middle of the old alley.

The second master's handwriting said that the entrance to the back alley was between the wood carving shop and the tobacco shop, but I also said before that Li Huaishan's newly opened shop was the only store in the old alley that operated a tobacco and alcohol business.

The tobacconist on the handbook, the name of the shop is "North and South Pavilion", and it is a business of tobacco and grass in the south and grass in the north.

The so-called southern tobacco is from Fujian, Guangdong's golden wood silk, this special wood silk can indeed be used as tobacco to smoke, but most people buy them are used to make utensils, not to mention that the price of this thing is inflated, really used to make tobacco, according to a pack of cigarettes a day, I am afraid that no one can afford to smoke.

As for the northern grass, it is a kind of yarrow (pronounced the same as "poetry") grass produced in Shaanxi, which is used for witch fortune-telling, and the tip of the grass is highly poisonous, and it is occasionally used to make poison.

Looking at the entire old alley, only this north and south pavilion has done business on the surface, and the other shops are selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and they are operating two completely unrelated businesses at the same time.

Just like the wood carving shop adjacent to the North and South Pavilions, selling wood carvings is fake, and selling rune paper is the business for people to eat.

The owners of these two shops are surnamed Liu, and I rarely interact with them, but I heard from Boss Jiang that these two owners are twin brothers, but the relationship between the two is not very good, and they often have conflicts over trivial matters.

There is a gap less than half a meter wide between the two shops, and I have wondered why the other stores in the old alley are next to each other, and the east wall of your house is the west wall of my house, but there is a gap between the two stores, and this gap is also blocked with gray bricks and cement.

It wasn't until yesterday that I saw the second master's handwritten letter that I knew that there was another mystery behind this wall.

When I stopped in front of the tobacco shop, Boss Liu in the store saw me and Li Huaishan, and immediately greeted me with a smiling face: "Is the big shopkeeper here to buy something?" ”

I also gave a smile: "Open the store so early?" ”

Boss Liu said: "Alas, there is no way to do it, a while ago, the people of the Qingquan faction ordered a few pieces of gold and wood silk from me, and the family of this family has come for ten years, and the people of the Qingquan faction are also here, I am thinking, they may not know when they will send people, so they will open the door early and wait." ”

I nodded: "That's the same reason." ”

Boss Liu saw that I was about to leave after speaking, and asked again: "Isn't the big shopkeeper here to buy things?" ”

I smiled: "I can't afford the things in your store, so I just see that you open early, stop and take a look." ”

"You wait a minute." As he spoke, Boss Liu turned around and went back to the store and took out three or four fine golden wood wires.

Seeing his actions, I was puzzled: "What are you doing here?" ”

He wrapped the golden wood silk and stuffed it into my hand, and when he saw that I refused to accept it, he asked me cautiously: "I heard that this ten-year festival was presided over by the little demon king?" ”

I nodded: "Boss Liu is well-informed enough." ”

He smiled, and then regardless of whether I liked it or not, he just stuffed Jin Musi into my pocket: "I've heard that the little devil king arranged for you to compete with a few of the best people in the family. We people in the old alley know what his idea is, big shopkeeper, you must not let him succeed. ”

I was about to take out the golden silk in my pocket, but Boss Liu immediately held down my hand: "Big shopkeeper, you see, we can't help much, these golden silk has the spirit of Xiaolongtan added to it, and you may be able to use it when you compete." Don't refuse, this is a little bit of the neighbor's heart. ”

Everyone said this, and I was embarrassed to refuse again, so I could only thank him and ask him jokingly: "Do you hate him so much?" ”

Boss Liu also smiled: "I won't tell you, we don't just hate the little devil, but also ...... I don't want the second master to come back and take over the thrift store's business. ”

Li Huaishan and I glanced at each other, but Li Huaishan spoke: "Why don't you want the second master to come back?" ”

Boss Liu said curtly: "When the second master was the big shopkeeper, he was too lenient, and he had to intervene in anyone's business." The little demon king is like this, and he has a grudge, if you accidentally go against his will, he will try his best to get revenge on you. The new shopkeeper is still kind, and we, the neighbors, all hope that the new shopkeeper can stay forever. ”
