The middle-aged woman glanced at Xia Le, even in the face of Luo Lao, who was respected by everyone else, her tone was quite scathing.

"Hmph, what's the use of marrying? People are dying! Although he is young, the death trick of my family's goods seller is dead, and Uncle Qin, who drives the bus, is also old, and there are no two shops on the street at all, how can this money village be opened? Let those outsiders in? Every two years the town is flooded! ”

"Sister of the Jiang family, don't be so impulsive. It's because it's difficult, so we have to help him. ”

The innkeeper Lao Liu said to the middle-aged woman with a smile.

"The lake is about to get out of control, and after the money village is opened, the money can flow as soon as possible, and it will be pressed for a few more years. We don't want the town to be flooded by a lake. ”

"Hmph."

The middle-aged woman snorted coldly and didn't speak again.

She took off Xia Le's coat, revealing the shroud underneath.

At the same time, she took off one of her clothes and put this rather rural green women's dress directly on Xia Le's body.

Xia Le's face turned green.

He wanted to break free, but seeing that the expressions of the others were normal, he stood there aggrieved.

Not long after, when the middle-aged woman took off Xia Le's clothes, the word "Shou" on the shroud on his chest was changed to the word "money".

This dress also becomes less like a shroud, more like the clothes worn by many shopkeepers in the movie.

At this time, the middle-aged woman also took back her clothes and put them on herself.

After waiting for a while, the spiritualist Lao He strode over.

His expression was sad, and he sighed to a few people.

"There's only so many people in the town who can move."

Luo Lao was stunned, and then shook his head slightly.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go."

In Xia Le's opinion, this town is like an immortal cultivation sect.

In order to cultivate immortals, only these few people died in the entire sect, which once again illustrates the danger of this path of cultivating immortals.

Listening to what Luo Lao said, Lao Liu said.

"Luo Lao, there are too many of us, I'm afraid a boat at the ferry won't be able to sit still."

The conjuring man Lao He frowned slightly, not thinking that this was a problem at all.

"Then go to the paper shop and buy a boat. The bank has been reopened, and we can all exchange it for tricks or special items. I gave out the 3 yuan. ”

After speaking, Lao He walked to the paper shop on the side.

Lao Liu was stunned and complained a little speechlessly.

"I didn't say I wasn't willing to pay. Now that the money bank is open again, I can save the coffin faster. Lao He, you are really, a lot of people are still so anxious when they are old, so they won't learn from Luo Lao. ”

After a while, Lao He walked out of the paper shop.

The group walked out with Xia Le, who didn't know anything.

Lao Liu explained to Xia Le with a smile.

"The afterlife, that's what happened. Decades ago, Lao Liu, I was not born yet, and there was a very powerful predecessor who built a lake here, which could sink the trick into it, and several other seniors were responsible for guarding it. Slowly, a group of old-timers, including Luo Lao, got together and simply established a bazaar, and everyone communicated with each other, called Taiping Town. ”

"Taiping Town was quite lively more than 20 years ago. It's just that as time goes by, some old-timers have suffered difficulties and closed their stores, and some old-timers are about to reach their lifespan and have to suppress other places, which has become deserted. ”

"We're going to that lake now."

"This lake was pretty good at first, and a lot of tricks sank in and couldn't get out. But it's like a bucket with half a bucket of water, and you keep throwing pebbles into it, and one day the water will come out. A small part of Taiping Town has been flooded by the lake, and the lake has been flowing down the river to other places. ”

"We couldn't deal with these tricks before, but now with you, it's different, and we can turn those tricks into money. This is equivalent to fishing out the stones from the bucket and curing the lake, so that it can be used for a few more years, and it will be more tricky. ”

Hearing Boss Liu say this, Xia Le realized one thing.

"Uncle Liu, is there a lot of weirdness in this world?"

"Don't call me uncle, you have to look up to me, call me Brother Liu."

Boss Liu smiled at Xia Le.

"There was pressure from the older generation before, and there weren't many people who could run outside. But now that the older generation has passed away one by one, some of our generation and juniors like you have also suffered, and it is inevitable that some of them will run out uncontrollably. Your generation happens to be experiencing a supernatural outbreak, and many people need to stand up. ”

"It's a big deal for you to reopen the bank, which is equivalent to saying that you are the only one who stands up, and you are still the mainstay."

Xia Le also knew that it must be a big deal to reopen the money village by himself, otherwise there would not be so many immortal cultivators running out.

However, these immortal cultivators do not call themselves immortal cultivators, but tricksters.

In front of a ferry, Xia Le saw a hazy light slowly drifting over from the river.

When the light came near, Xia Le found that it was a black ferry with an oil lamp lit on it.

Lao He didn't get on the boat, but took out a palm-sized origami boat from his pocket.

He lit the boat with a match and threw it lightly on the surface of the lake.

But in an instant, the boat was like a paper man before, from a paper boat to a large wooden boat more than ten meters long, which was much larger than the small wooden boat next to it.

"Let's go, get on board."

Lao He said this, but Luo Lao shook his head slightly and said.

"I can't be short of people there, so I'll go back first. You guys look at Natsu more. ”

Lao Liu hurriedly said.

"Luo Lao, go slowly, we will help."

When Luo Lao left, the group got on the boat.

Obviously, there were only five people present, but the draft of the wooden boat was not shallow, as if it was carrying many people.

Boss Liu didn't know where to take out an oil lamp and light it, it looked very similar to the oil lamp on the black ferry, and placed it in the center of the boat.

He smiled at the spiritualist Lao He.

"Look, I'm not reluctant, don't you just take out the oil lamp and use it?"

Lao He didn't bother to take care of this guy.

Originally, the ferry port was not wide, and the wooden boat was almost full of the river when it was put down.

Soon, however, as it went downstream, the river became wider and wider.

There was a faint mist floating over the river. It's okay within the range of the oil lamp, but it's almost impossible to see the surroundings outside the range, and it's foggy everywhere.

Not long after, the boat drifted to the second ferry.

Xia Le guessed that there should be many such ferries, just like the bus stop of the previous bus.

However, the wooden boat was bought by Lao He, so it did not dock at the new ferry.

Xia Le felt that if it was the black wooden boat just now, it should have stopped, and then maybe it would be like a bus, and there would be other people or tricks going up and down.

Slowly, the surrounding river became wider and wider, and finally there was no boundary in sight.

It's not like a river, it's a lake.

Charlotte felt that they should have reached their destination.

The lake is very quiet, the water is pitch black, and you can't see anything underwater.

But when the wooden boat was moving, it was occasionally heard with a thudding sound, as if it had hit something.

"It's time to get there, let's get started."

Lao He looked at the lake below with his very special eyes and said to Xia Le.

"The old man is big, so he will call you Xiao Xia. We'll get the trick out of the lake, and then it's up to you. The trick money is all yours, just as we congratulate Xiao Xia on your joining Taiping Town. ”

"That's embarrassing."

When Xia Le heard this, he laughed so much that his gums were exposed.

How embarrassing means of course embarrassing!

The middle-aged women took off their clothes one by one, tied up the sleeves of these clothes, and soon made a rope of clothes that could be thrown from the boat all the way into the lake.

The rope was handed to the Faceless Man, and then the Faceless Man threw it directly to the Rim like fishing.

But they didn't catch fish, they caught tricks.

Behind the faceless man, Lao He and Boss Liu were waiting for it, staring at the rope.

Soon, the rope, which was being grasped by the faceless man, trembled violently, as if a fish had been hooked.

The faceless man pulled the rope hard with both hands to prevent it from falling off the boat, and at the same time, Lao Liu also reached out and put his hand on the faceless man's shoulder.

Slowly, a female corpse in tattered clothes and a disheveled cape crawled down the rope from the lake to the boat.

And it's not just female corpses.

Several corpses in this dark lake touched the clothes rope as if they had seen a life-saving straw, and they would not let go of it, and crawled along the rope towards the boat.

"Natsu-chan, up!"

Xia Le took two steps forward and pressed the head of the female corpse who climbed onto the boat.

But the quality of this female corpse is very average, and it is only worth two dollars.

The female corpse suddenly disappeared in Xia Le's hands, and Xia Le's arm also had two more copper coin-shaped patterns.

There are four seniors watching, Xia Le's situation is very safe.

He sent one trick after another to the unspeakable, the unpredictable, and exchanged them for money.

$3, $3, $4......

Slowly, Xia Le had more and more tricky money in his hands.

More than two hours later, Lao Liu gasped.

"No, no, no, I have to rest for a while. The Jiang family's sister's clothes are also going to change. ”

He worked with the faceless man to fish the dress out of the lake.

Xia Le solved the two tricks that climbed up along the rope and got another 4 yuan.

With a gloomy face, the middle-aged woman untied the rope of her clothes and wrung them out one by one by the side of the boat.

At this time, Xia Le found that these clothes did not look like clothes at all, but one after another were twisted into twisted flowers.

He counted the harvest just now, and the tricky money in his hand added up to 58 yuan.

Boss Liu sat aside, looked at a large stack of banknotes in Xia Le's hand, and said enviously.

"With so much money, there are enough coffins to buy three. Lao Liu, my biggest wish in this life is to buy a coffin, three soul-reviving incense, two bright light candles, a bowl of soul-returning rice, and a beautiful funeral. Little Brother Xia, you have earned a lifetime of money in one night, and you can retire in retirement. ”

"Go! Don't put your set on someone else. ”

Lao He glared at Boss Liu angrily, and took out a mirror to take a picture of Xia Le.

"Take a closer look at yourself. It's a good money, but it's not without a price. ”

Xia Le took the mirror and looked at his face, and the next moment his expression changed greatly.

Compared to the young man he looked like before, although he is still a young man, he is a full 5 years older!

He's only 22 years old this year, but he looks like he's almost 30 years old!

"The life expectancy of this money trick is not deducted, but directly calculated as age and added to me? If I hadn't paid attention and changed a few hundred yuan in one go, would I have become an old man? ”

Xia Le's heart was cold.

"Thankfully, fortunately. Although it is 5 years older, it is not a big problem. It's just that you have to pay attention to it afterwards. ”

"You take this money, and it's enough to open the bank for the time being. Luo Lao and I will contact some old friends to help you think of a way. ”

Lao He took the mirror that Xia Le had returned and comforted him.

"There's an organization called Interpol out there, which is kind of a headquarters for dealing with tricks. If you come across them, you can ask them. Today, I fished out more than 20 tricks, and almost all the first layer was fished out, and I don't have to worry about the lake getting out of control for the next half a year. ”

Xia Le was taken aback when he heard this.

"It's only been half a year?"

Seeing this, Lao He smiled sympathetically.

"Housheng, do you think this lake is very simple? It is divided into several layers of water, and the lower it goes, the more fierce it becomes. We're just fishing for the top. Okay, let's go back. ”

Standing at the bow of the boat, Lao He didn't know what method he used, a gust of wind appeared out of thin air, and the entire wooden boat began to drive back.

On the dark surface of the lake, Xia Le watched the river on both sides get narrower and narrower, and finally returned to the ferry port in Taiping Town.

Several people got off the boat, Lao He tied the wooden boat to a wooden stake at the ferry, and several people went back to their homes.

But not long after, when the sun set, Boss Liu came to Qianzhuang.

"Brother Liu, you're here to send me business."

Boss Liu nodded and smiled.

"Yes! The bank had been closed before, and I hadn't been here for years. Now that you have opened a money bank again, of course I have to take care of it, brother. ”

He looked at the beautiful paper man next to him who was wiping the counter with a rag, his eyes lit up, and he showed a clubhouse-like smile to Xia Le and gave a thumbs up.

"Little Brother Xia understands very well! It's a pity that my brother is too old to bear it, otherwise I would have to buy a paper figure like this back. Unlike my shop, there is only one old paper figure that has been used for more than 20 years. ”

Walking into the store, Boss Liu put several small things on the counter and smiled at Xia Le.

"Little Brother Xia, you show my brother how much these things are worth."

Xia Le looked fixedly, and there were three things on the counter.

One was a black ring, the other was a blood-like jade bracelet, and a small bone like a finger bone.

If Xia Le wants to come by himself, he must not understand, but the money in his body is tricky!

As soon as he got started, he understood what these three things were for and how much they were worth.

Yin Stone Ring: It can resist 1 supernatural attack, worth 1 yuan.

Blood Jade Bracelet: A replica of a bracelet, which reliably sucks blood to resist supernatural attacks, and is worth 2 yuan.

Fight the treacherous bones: Throw it out to attack the supernatural, worth 1 yuan.

After seeing these three things, Xia Le also has a bottom in his heart.

To be precise, these three things are not bad, and they can all work against tricks.

He thought that Boss Liu was shy and wanted to cheat him out of money!
