Chapter 585: Birthday Gift
I smiled and said, "It's the first time I've heard of ghosts having a dry time like this. In case after a while they become Taoist priests. Hee-hee-ha used it to make fun of it, but it wasn't good. ”
Mr. Lu said, "Then I'd rather they make fun of monkeys." ”
After the birthday star fell from mid-air, the old monster looked quite happy, he nodded at the man, and said, "There is a heart, there is a heart." ”
The Taoist smiled: "Old man, haven't you come yet?" ”
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of bamboo outside, and a group of people walked in in a line. The leader is the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, followed by Chang'e, Tai Baixing and other immortals. These people stood next to each other and filled the room. Then they knelt down and shouted loudly: "Xiaoxian has given the old man a birthday." ”
This time, the old monster was completely smiling and happy. One said vigorously: "Rewarded." Rewarded. ”
Then, two red-clothed maids brought out a large basket with some copper coins in it. A maid grabbed a handful of them and threw the copper coins to the immortals.
The immortals knelt on the ground, thanking each other while you fought for me. The hall was noisy and chaotic. It was really Sven's loss and humiliation. And the old monster was satisfied with it, and commented: "Your thoughts are also very good." Very good. ”
The man triumphantly thanked the old monster for his compliment, and then sat back in his seat.
After a while, all the immortals received the reward, and then they withdrew, and instead of leaving, they stood under the eaves.
I sat in the doorway. So it's close to them. I saw these so-called immortals, with a gloomy aura on their bodies, and I guess they were pretending to be powerful ghosts.
I whispered to Mr. Lu, "Are they an insult to the immortals?" ”
Mr. Lu nodded and said, "Count, very much." ”
I said, "Aren't these people afraid that the immortals will settle accounts with them?" ”
Mr. Lu smiled bitterly and said, "Has anyone seen the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother?" These two people are real immortals. Or maybe the common people imagined it. So, they have their own arguments for doing this. However, the dissatisfaction of the immortals is certain, and it is not excluded that they will settle accounts in the future...... These people are indeed very bold. ”
Mr. Lu and I were talking with our heads down, when we suddenly heard Xue Qian say, "You two don't comment on others, let's take care of ourselves first." ”
I heard his voice trembling, very abnormal. I can't help but look back.
I looked up and gasped.
I saw the old monster standing in front of us, and the children were giggling after him.
The old monster and those children, dozens of pairs of eyes, were staring straight at me. I was a little hairy at them.
After a while, the old monster said, "These three people are very familiar. Three days ago, you seemed to have appeared in front of me once. ”
I said weakly, "We are the guests of the owner of this house. ”
The old monster nodded and said, "It turned out to be my son's guest." Last time, that's what you said. ”
I thought to myself: It turns out that the owner of this house is your son. The three of us didn't dare to answer, so we could only try to make a harmless smile.
The old monster paced in front of us and said, "Last time, you were sneaky at my door, this time, you are hiding in the middle of my birthday banquet and looking around. The three of you, clinging weakly. ”
Mr. Lu hurriedly said, "We are here to celebrate the old man's birthday." The old man is as blessed as the East China Sea, and his longevity is better than Nanshan. ”
I thought to myself: Mr. Lu really reacted quickly. Thousands of wears, sycophants don't wear, no matter how ruthless the old monster is, he can't beat the person who celebrates his birthday, right? It's just hard to get along with yourself.
Thinking of this, Xue Qian and I both followed: "Blessing is like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan." ”
The old monster looked at the three of us and smiled, and said, "With this sentence, you want to get by?" Since I'm here to celebrate my birthday, where is the birthday gift? ”
As soon as I heard this, I secretly complained in my heart, in fact, I asked Mr. Lu before: "Since we are here to pay homage to our birthday, we can't be empty-handed, right?" ”
But Mr. Lu said absent-mindedly: "We are monks, and we don't like this." It is estimated that his assumption at the time was that if he saw the owner of the house in a hurry, how could anyone count who gave gifts and who did not? But I didn't expect that today the old monster actually came up to us and forced us to hand over the birthday gift.
If Mr. Lu dares to say the phrase "We are monks" with a hippie smile. I can guarantee that the old youkai will kill us on the spot.
At this time, the hall was quiet, and all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods gathered and followed the old monster to watch the excitement of the three of us.
After a while, I heard Mr. Lu say, "Birthday gift? There is a birthday gift, and we bring a birthday gift. ”
The old monster asked, "Where?" ”
At this time, I felt a hand on my shoulder, which belonged to Mr. Lu.
My heart was cold, and I thought in a panic: "Mr. Lu is not going to sell me at this critical juncture, right?" ”
My eyes widened and I looked at Mr. Lu in disbelief. Mr. Lu looked at me apologetically, and then patted me on the back: "Here." ”
I felt a pang of weakness in my body. I said weakly: "Lu Laodao, your damn ......"
The old monster looked like he wasn't smiling: "I'm not interested in this kid." If you cook it and eat it, he's too old. He's too weak for work. ”
I nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm weak, I can't work, and I don't eat well." ”
At this time, Mr. Lu reached out and pulled the big knife off my back. He held up the knife, stood on the ground, respectfully brought it to the old monster, and said, "Shouli is a knife, not a person. ”
Only then did it dawn on me: Mr. Lu patted me on the back just now, and it turned out that he was referring to this big knife. Because this big knife was given to me by the ancestor of the Xue family, today he sacrificed the big knife in order to save the lives of the three of us, and he must have felt very sorry for me, so he was full of apologies.
After figuring out this section, I felt that I had scolded Mr. Lu a little harshly just now, and I couldn't help but feel a little guilty in my heart.
Mr. Lu bent down and offered his broadsword, and suddenly I saw that he was secretly glaring at me, which seemed to mean that we should take the opportunity to slip away.
I suddenly had a terrible thought, is Mr. Lu going to suddenly pull out his knife and give the old monster a blow?
Although my Dao skills are not very good, I know that Mr. Lu's method will definitely not work. The spirits of the old monsters were scattered over dozens of bodies. This big knife can only hurt one of them. Mr. Lu only had one chance to sneak attack. Before the second knife could be swung, I was afraid that he would be killed.
I was so anxious that I wanted to stop him, but I didn't dare to make it too obvious, for fear that the old monster would see it.
At this time, the old monster said lightly: "The old man is rich all over the world, and this broken knife is not rare. ”
I was relieved to hear this. I thought to myself: This old monster is really big enough. He is not an emperor, where did he come from to be rich?
Now that we have offered a big sword, it is equivalent to bringing a birthday gift. Since he doesn't accept it, he can't complain about us. Empty House: Wonderful
Mr. Lu was also very happy and said: "A few of us are poor. This big knife is a treasure to us, and it is really nothing to the old man. Then he laughed to himself again, and turned to help me with the big knife.
The old monster said, "I'm not interested in your treasures. But if you really have a heart, come and have fun, and make me happy. ”
Mr. Lu hurriedly said, "Is it okay to have fun?" You wait for me to make a joke. ”
The old monster said, "Don't think about it. Come on, take three monkey skins. ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately wanted to cry without tears. Mr. Lu really said that the old monster didn't make fun of the joker, but came to make fun of the monkey.
A few minutes later, the two red-clothed maids really brought the black coats. It's in our hands.
The three of us looked at each other, a little reluctant. And the little ghosts next to him shouted one after another: "Watching the immortals worship their birthdays before, although it was enjoyable, but after all, it was fake." Now let's watch the Taoist priest perform a monkey show, this time it's real. ”
