Chapter 54

boss

――――――――――――

The old man was still going to say something to Lu Cheng, but the old man who was waiting for the cards next to him didn't look like a good guy at first glance, and shouted: "Hurry up, play the cards!" ”

The old man shook his head helplessly, and finally said to Lu Cheng: "Young man, if you want to inquire about Xiyue Valley and the goddess Niangniang, go next door, there is a paper shop, you can go there and ask!" ”

Paper shop?

......

The owner of the mahjong parlor kindly introduced Lu Cheng: "The old man of the paper shop used to be a Taoist priest, but when he was making trouble, he was broken by Wen Qing's leg, and then he lived a bad life, not a ghost, and later after opening this shop, he found a way to support the elderly in the second half of his life, his temper is not very good, you should pay more attention to what you say!" ”

After thanking the boss!

......

They arrived at the door of the paper shop. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Yanting stood at the door, recalled some past events in Chengnan City, and said to Lu Cheng: "I suddenly remembered a paper shop in Chengnan City, Brother Fei took me there, there lived a powerful boss there, and a mysterious old man!" ”

"Cai Feng, is it?" Lu Cheng nodded: "That guy is indeed very powerful!" That old gentleman is indeed very mysterious! ”

Walking into the paper shop, the shop is not big, there are two inside and outside. At this moment, outside the store, an old man sitting on a wooden chair is bowing his head and pasting the outline of a boy......

Before Lu Cheng and Xiao Yanting could speak, the old man looked up at the two of them, and said expressionlessly: "People from the Dao Sect and the Buddha Sect? Aren't you on both sides incompatible? What, reconciled, or signed a double ten agreement? ”

Xiao Yanting touched his hat meaningfully, but his little bald head was not revealed! How does this old guy know how he is a member of the Buddhist sect! couldn't help but whisper to Lu Cheng and asked, "This old man is so powerful, you can see our identity at a glance!" ”

Lu Cheng frowned, and quickly coughed twice: "Ahem!" "Remind Xiao Yanting's title.

But the old man had already heard it, and glared at Xiao Yanting: "Young man, you have to be polite when you speak!" ”

Lu Cheng hurriedly apologized: "Old man, my little brother is young and doesn't understand the rules, I hope you will forgive me!" ”

The old man said dissatisfiedly: "Rules! Aren't you from the Great Gate Sect? Shouldn't the people who come out of the sect know the rules very well? ”

Xiao Yanting hurriedly explained: "I am **Temple!" Small sect! ”

But this explanation is so weak!

The old man continued to say angrily: "All the sects in the world are the same, when there was a lot of trouble, what bullshit celebrities didn't dare to come out of the mountains, and threw us off those of us who have no background and are on the cusp!" ”

Xiao Yanting was about to explain again: "Old man! ”

The old man said coldly, "Didn't you come here to inquire about things?" Just ask questions! ”

Lu Cheng didn't know how to ease the atmosphere at the moment for a while: "......"

"Can I ask a question?" Xiao Yanting raised his hand weakly, his eyes full of curiosity.

The old man continued to blush: "Say! ”

Xiao Yanting asked seriously: "Now that there have been several homicides in White Mist Town, no one dares to go out on most of the streets of the entire town. Why is it still ..... here? It's quite lively! ”

I don't know if this kid is really naïve, or really naïve, I didn't see this old man's face very bad! Forget, Xiao Yanting seems to be just about fourteen years old, right?

The old man said with a straight face: "Do you think that everyone is as afraid of death as your young people now? ”

"Hmm......" Xiao Yanting pulled off his hat and scratched his itchy little bald head.

The old man continued: "Besides, this whole street is full of people who have lived for more than half a century, and they are all half cut into the ground, who the fuck cares about this, if they live for a day, they will never nest at home as a turtle with a shrunken head if they can go out!" That's cowardice! ”

Xiao Yanting continued to scratch his head and said, "It's also ......."

The old man looked at Lu Cheng, he naturally knew that the real question to ask was of course Lu Cheng, the elder, after all, Xiao Yanting, a little doll, could only be regarded as a small follower no matter how he looked at it, looked at Lu Cheng and asked, "Is there still a problem?" ”

Lu Cheng lowered his head politely: "Old man, our main purpose is to inquire about where Xiyue Valley is?" ”

The boss suddenly made a mistake in the movement of his hand, and he accidentally poked a hole in the paper figure that he had already tied up and was about to take the last step.

He looked at Lu Cheng: "Why are you asking this place?" ”

Lu Cheng explained: "We are investigating a case, and we may be able to find some clues in Xiyue Valley!" ”

The old man looked at the paper figure in his hand with straight eyes: "There is no place at all!" ”

Lu Cheng asked again: "What about the goddess?" ”

The old man grabbed the paper man with all his strength in his hands, and the hole that could have been pasted became bigger: "There is no such person!" ”

Lu Cheng hesitated: "Old man......"

The old man turned his head and glared at Lu Cheng: "There is no Xiyue Valley at all, and there is no goddess!" ”

Xiao Yanting also asked: "But we heard from the person next to us that you know ......."

"I don't know!"

The old man instantly smashed the paper man to pieces and stood up, only then did they see the old man walking with a lame look in his eyes, and drove the two out of the paper shop.

......

Lu Cheng and Xiao Yanting, who were driven back to the street, reluctantly walked back to the door of the mahjong parlor next to the paper shop, and the kind-hearted mahjong parlor owner stood at the door and heard the movement of the paper shop owner driving the two out of their homes, obviously these two little guys didn't hear their words in their ears.

The boss saw Lu Cheng and Xiao Yanting, who were standing at the door of the mahjong parlor, smoking dry cigarettes, and said to the two: "You don't know! ”

The two looked at the mahjong parlor owner suspiciously: "Huh? ”

Don't know what?

The owner of the mahjong parlor continued: "When the four old people were old, this old Taoist priest broke someone's leg and his life was about to be lost, it was the goddess Niangniang who appeared and saved him. But those young people at that time! We are superstitious and reactionary..... It is even more to take out the statue of the goddess Niangniang worshiped in every family and burn it! Ah! Not only is the heart of the old Taoist priest who has received the goddess Niangniang is broken, but there are many people like us in the town who are as old as us crying and shouting, but they can't stop it! ”

The two continued to ask, "What happened later?" ”

"Since then, no one has dared to worship the statue of the goddess! In the following decades, the goddess Niangniang never appeared again......." The owner of the mahjong parlor took a puff of dry smoke, then sighed and continued: "Xu is the goddess Niangniang is too disappointed in the infidelity of our people, and she is no longer willing to bless us, after a long time, the new generation of people in Baiwu Town have forgotten that we have been protected by such a goddess here!"
