Chapter 4: Competitors on Front Street
Although he knew that he had been exposed, Xiu hesitated a little when considering whether to get out of the wall.
Although Xiu didn't know the identity of the person who came, judging from the fact that they knew that Xiu was an undead, they could still behave so calmly, it was obviously not an ordinary person!
In case they are legendary witchers or something, wouldn't it be like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger to repair this? Xiu had just died once at noon today, and he didn't want to die twice in a row in a day!
The man obviously guessed Xiu's hesitation, so he looked at the corpse on the ground and said with a smile, "The corpse on the ground is yours, right?" Looks like you've just died, so you probably don't know much about the undead, right? Then I'll tell you a little bit about the taboos after becoming an undead. That is, the undead must not stay in their place of death for a long time. If the spirit does not leave the body in time, the soul will be bound to the place of death forever, and it will not be able to be freed for the rest of its life! If you don't believe me, you can feel it for yourself and see if your body is heavier now than when you first died. ”
Although Xiu had been reminding himself before, he must not be confused by the rhetoric of the comer, but after Xiu heard such alarmist words, he still involuntarily tried the man's words, and he found that it was really the same as what the man said, and his body was indeed getting heavier and heavier!
If what the man said was true, wouldn't Xiu really have to be trapped in this garbage-like place for the rest of his life? That's it!
Xiu was so frightened by the man's words that he jumped out of the wall, and then his whole body was exposed in front of the man and the girl.
The man looked at the panicked Xiu, showing an expression that was really as I expected, and Xiu couldn't help but look up at the man. As a result, after looking at each other, Xiu found out that he actually knew the guy in front of him!
Isn't this man the guy who is new to the front street, who has been in the limelight lately, and who is stealing business from the back street!
Seeing that Xiu Lu had revealed his body, the man smiled and said, "There's nowhere to go, right?" Why don't you go back with me first? ”
Xiu said vigilantly: "How can you make me believe you? ”
"Why, are you still afraid that I will harm you? But you are already a dead man with nothing, what good can I do to hurt you? ”
“…… Well, well......"
Although he was a little reluctant, in the end, Xiu slowly floated into the carriage.
Regardless of whether the guy in front of him is reliable or not, but since he is in the same line of work as Xiu, it at least shows that this man is not a demon hunter or something, and for Xiu, he can barely be regarded as knowing the roots, and he is more reliable.
Moreover, it seems that this man still has some understanding of Xiu's current physical condition, so Xiu feels that it is better to follow the man to understand the situation than he is now, who knows nothing about everything.
Wu Linger was very alert and immediately closed the curtains after repairing the car. After all, if someone sees an undead in the car, it's still a pretty scary thing, and it won't turn into an urban legend.
Seeing that although Xiu had already gotten into the carriage, he still had an alert and nervous expression, the man smiled and said to ease the atmosphere: "Although it's not the first time we've met, I think I'd better introduce myself!" My name is Wu Yao, and she is my apprentice Wu Ling'er. Our master and apprentice opened a restaurant on the front street and did some small business, and if we really want to count it, we can be regarded as half of our peers. ”
Xiu was a little surprised: "How do you know we've met before?" ”
"Didn't you and a yellow hairman sneak to Qianjie to inquire about my news before? Although you were just watching from a distance outside the store at the time, everything you did couldn't escape my eyes. How, dare to do it and dare not admit it? ”
"Not really, we're just curious about how you make money......
"Really? Then you'll find out right away. It's just that others can't learn the way of my business. ”
As he spoke, they had reached their destination. Taking advantage of the moonlight, Xiu Zhan trembled and followed Wu Yao into the shop through the front door.
The shops in Wuyao have a very peculiar decoration style, which is a type that Xiu has never seen before, and it is completely different from the most common on the front street, the kind of golden and brilliant style. The decoration at the entrance of the shop is also very simple, with two black pillars and no patterns.
On the door facing from him, there was a delicate wooden plank, on which were painted with gold paint, four strange patterns of different shapes, and I don't know what they meant.
Judging from the appearance alone, this shop is already very special, and after Xiu entered the gate, he found that it was even more special.
The space inside the store is scary, and from the outside of the building, you can't tell that it's so big inside. The style of the decoration in the store is also very strange, and some of it is difficult to describe in words.
Most of the decorations are made of wood, and the partitions are also carved out of fine wood, which is very exquisite. What's even more special here is that there is a pool not far from the entrance opposite the main entrance. The pond is full of delicate aquatic plants, and there are orange-red fish of unknown species swimming in it. Just from the decoration of the shop in Wuyao, you can find that its style is very special, and it is a completely different path from the street prophets who repaired them.
It seems that Wu Yao has really invested a lot of money!
Xiu thought so, and then turned his attention to the other things in the store.
Unexpectedly, in addition to divination and prophecy, this Wu Yao is still doing other business. The wooden display cabinets on both sides of the shop are filled with various utensils, most of which are vases and other ornaments. These utensils are basically blue and white on a white background, which is a style rarely seen on the mainland.
Xiu walked around in front of the shelf, thinking that this guy Wuyao is too dark, right? It's a robbery to sell thousands of big things! But it's not difficult to understand why Wu Yao can live the life he has now, because he has a big head to pay!
Wu Yao was not in a hurry, just sat on the wooden chair on the side and drank tea leisurely. When the cultivation was almost complete, Wu Yao asked, "What are your plans next?" ”
"What's going on?"
"What are you going to do next?"
"I don't know much about this, after all, I just died not long ago...... By the way, you should know a little bit about my current situation, right? Can you tell me? Xiu asked, with a sincere expression on his face.
Wu Yao didn't answer Xiu's question immediately, but looked at Xiu's face and said with a smile: "You know what? Actually, you're special. ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense! I've become what I am now, I'm not a human anymore, and I'm not special! Xiu had a depressed expression on his face.
"No, no, no, what I'm saying is that you're special in the undead."
As he spoke, Wu Yao took out a few materials from his hand and handed them to Xiu.
Xiu Gang wanted to take advantage of the situation, but found that the information went straight through his hand and fell to the ground.
"Look at my memory, I even forgot this! You're a spirit now, and you can't hold anything anymore! Or let me talk about it! Wu Yao said in a tone of regret, but the expression on his face was quite flat, making people wonder if he did it on purpose.
"Although this is not something that can be explained in a few words, I will tell you a little bit about it! But in exchange, you'll do me a favor. Wu Yao said slowly, his eyes revealing a hint of inscrutable cunning.
