"Old man, is this wine for sale?" Piao Ranzi suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Hey, hey, this son, of course the wine is sold. The yellow-faced old man laughed.

"Okay, can you sell it to me?"

"Yes. ”

"But, though, ・・・・・・ a few days ago"

"A few days ago, were you afraid that I would ask for a wine account from the previous days?" said the yellow-faced old man with a smile. "Hehe, those two barrels were ordered by Daoye, I will ask him for them, yesterday the barrel was changed by Gongzi's long shirt, you don't owe me a wine account, and the past is not mentioned. ”

"I bought this barrel. After Piao Ranzi finished speaking, he took out the ingot of gold from his bosom and handed it forward: "Old man, see if it is enough for this barrel of wine." ”

"Oh, didn't the prince meet relatives and friends?" the yellow-faced old man looked puzzled, looked at the ingot of gold in surprise, and then looked into the courtyard gate.

"There is not a single ghost in this place. Besides, I don't have any relatives and friends in Yueyang. Piaoranzi said.

"So, where did this ingot of gold come from?"

"Hehe, I got it by accident. ”

"It's strange, could it be that this deserted Taoist courtyard still has a treasure trove of gold and silver?"

"No, no, no, there's no treasure trove. ”

"It's not a gift from the old exchange, and it's not a treasure trove, it's conceivable that your gold is either robbed or stolen," the yellow-faced old man looked solemn.

"The old man's house, neither robbery nor theft, is really what I saw in my room. Piao Ranzi hurriedly explained.

"Hey, hey, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" the yellow-faced old man sneered. "I've lived my age, and I've never found gold out of thin air in my house. Lying, young man, should be more satisfying. ”

"It was indeed found in the room, believe it or not. Piao Ranzi was also angry, although things were strange, but it was really not because he stole it.

"Okay, you show me where you picked it up. ”

"Okay, old man, please" Piao Ranzi had to ask him to see where he had picked up the gold.

As soon as the two of them were about to enter the courtyard gate, they heard a body in the barren forest in the distance, when they shook their heads, two figures flew away, the one in front was dressed in black, like a woman, and the one in yellow in the back, who seemed to be an old man.

"What's going on over there?" asked Piaoranzi as she watched the two of them fly away.

"Oh, there's ・・・・・・ hunting over there. The place has been barren for a long time, and it is often infested with wild beasts and hunters. The yellow-faced old man looked into the distance, his face solemn.

"However, those two don't seem to be hunters. Piao Ranzi was suspicious in his heart, and he clearly heard the sound of blades clashing just now.

"People who go hunting in this hellish place are not ordinary hunters. The yellow-faced old man said, lifting the barrel of wine, "Let's go, I want to see where you got the gold." I can't sell this wine to robbers or thieves. ”

"Let's go," Piao Ranzi led the old man into the west room and pointed to the cat bowl on the ground: "It's here." ”

The yellow-faced old man glanced at the room and asked, "The entire Taoist temple, is it just the son who lives alone?"

"Yes, if you don't believe it, you can look for it, who can come to this ghost place except me?"

The yellow-faced old man walked out of the west guest room, and really looked for it from room to room, not sniffing his nose. The houses of the Taoist temple were all covered with dust, and no trace of others was found.

"That's weird, where did you get this gold?"

"Hehehe, old man, this will be relieved, right?" Piao Ranzi said with a smile, forcibly suppressing this episode of alcohol addiction.

"Well, let's be skeptical. The yellow-faced old man took the ingot of gold, took away the three empty wine barrels, and said with a smile when he left the hospital: "Since Childe loves my wine so much, I will send it again tomorrow." ”

"Thank you" Piaoranzi sent out the door, watched the old man go away, covered the courtyard door, returned to the room, scooped a scoop of wine and drank it first, hey, it was really satisfying.

He drank two scoops, and the tanuki, out of nowhere, meowed at Piaoranzi.

"Oh, Brother Tanuki, please please" Piao Ranzi hurriedly scooped a bowl for him, and the tanuki hurriedly lowered his head and drank the wine.

In this way, Piaoranzi drank wine for a day, laughing with the tanuki while drinking, regardless of whether it understood it or not.

Brother Tanuki's alcohol consumption also gradually increased, and he drank four bowls today, and the two of them frolicked until dusk, and they both lay on the bed and fell asleep.

For four days in a row, in addition to drinking, Piao Ranzi was sleeping, and his spirit did not feel sluggish. In the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up, thinking of his own shape, he felt funny, and suddenly remembered the ancestor Chen Tuan he met, he didn't wake up and fall asleep, he could compare with him: drink and fall asleep.

As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly felt a flash of golden light in the house, and I hurriedly opened my eyes, and in the darkness, I saw Brother Tanuki, with a gold ingot in his mouth, jumped out from the outside, and put the gold into the bowl.

"Hey" Piao Ranzi sighed and sat up, and the raccoon brother was startled, and meowed and meowed at Piao Ranzi, and in the dark, he took the gold out of the cat's bowl again, jumped to Piao Ranzi's legs, pointed at the wine barrel with the cat's paws, and pointed at himself, shaking his head.

"Brother Tanuki, did you say that I should use this gold to buy wine?"

Tanuki nodded.

"Are you saying that don't sue the old man who sells wine about gold?"

Tanuki nodded again.

"In the past, there were friends with Bao, but I don't want to have the friendship of a raccoon today," Piao Ranzi sighed. Tomorrow I can use this gold again, and I can exchange it for wine.

In the dark night, Piaozi walked out of the door and came to the courtyard for a walk, Brother Lu Huinian has not come back, what should he do? Do you have to wait?

A dark shadow emerged from under the peach tree, cloaked in a cape, like a lonely ghost, with a black mask. Piao Ran Zirao was bold and also taken aback.

"Who?" asked Piaoranzi.

"Chu Piaoran, but you?" said an old woman's old voice, and Piaoran couldn't tell who it was.

"Yes, it's down there. How do you recognize me?"

"Well, it's you, and I ask you, why are you still here?"

"・・・・・・" is at a loss, don't stay here, the four seas are vast, where are you going?

"Husband, stand up to the heavens and the earth, will you sink here forever?" the masked man's eyes shot out.

"What?" Piao Ranzi didn't understand. "What did you say?"

"These days, you have been hiding here, except for drinking, but sleeping, have you forgotten all about the past?" said the masked man again.

"What do you mean?" said Piaoranzi.

"Difu boasting officials, what a scenery, have you forgotten?"

"・・・・・・ didn't forget about jì. Since you know that I once boasted about the officials in the underworld, I must be a ghost envoy in the underworld, may I ask, your Excellency is Meng Po?"

"Meng Po, oh, she is in charge of the six realms of reincarnation, reincarnation. The masked man said, "I'm not her old man." Now, the Xudu Prefecture is looking for you, so don't go back with me quickly."

"Go back with you? I fled from the underworld without permission, according to the laws of Yin Si, the sin is not light, are you here to arrest me?"

"Not to arrest you. "Masked humanity. "Now, the Bodhisattva King of Jizo, the Emperor of Xudu, the Son of Yin, and the King of Xudu have consulted, forgive your sins, and order me to come and ask you, and they will not embarrass you. ”

After a few words, he said that his heart was fluttering, the four seas are vast, Our Lady of Taoshan, Taishan Mansion Jun, thousands of miles away, and he can't fly, so it's better to go to the underworld, there are many friends there. What's more, he can find the Jizo King Bodhisattva and ask him about his family's affairs.

"Even if I go back with you, I have to ask who you are first. Piaoranzi said.

Without waiting for the masked man to answer, a shout from the courtyard gate shouted, "The demon is gone", and then the cold light flashed, and several sharp swords flew and shot straight at the masked man next to the peach tree! V
