Chapter 209 The Owner of the Incense and Candle Shop
In this way, we need to stay in Xudu for a few more days, and our plans to return to Wutang as soon as possible will be in vain.
"Mr. Cheng, can I ask you for a favor?"
While I was immersed in my thoughts, the fourth sister walked up to me and whispered.
"Absolutely,"
I immediately said: "As long as I can do something, Cheng Yi will not refuse!" ”
The fourth sister has just done us a big favor, and she and Mrs. Hu are old acquaintances, and now she asks me to do a favor, so I naturally have no reason to refuse.
"Okay, I hope you can help us track down the ghost craftsman Chen Jiu!"
The fourth sister looked at me and said directly.
"Stalking Chen Jiu?"
I was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the fourth sister with some puzzlement: "Why are you following him?" ”
The fourth sister explained: "Although Chen Jiu is also a member of the Yin and Yang Association, but for a long time, he has been disobedient to discipline, and even clashed with the members of the association many times. ”
"Not long ago, we found out that he was in frequent contact with a mysterious person in black robes, and after inference, the mysterious person in black robes was probably a wizard from southern Xinjiang!"
Listening to the fourth sister's words, I couldn't help but show a look of surprise: "I didn't expect that the Southern Xinjiang Wizard Regiment would reach out to you?" ”
The fourth sister nodded: "Yes, Xudu is close to the Southern Xinjiang region, and has been targeted by the Southern Xinjiang Wizard Group for a long time, they have always wanted their own forces to infiltrate and control the entire Xudu region, and we established the Yin and Yang Association precisely to compete with the Southern Xinjiang Wizard Regiment." ”
"Because the Southern Frontier Wizard is elusive, it is difficult to find his traces, and only your Five Halls Great Immortals' footsteps and tracking ability are second to none, so I want you to help investigate Chen Jiu and the Southern Frontier Wizard to see what conspiracy they have!"
"Okay, no problem!"
After listening to the fourth sister's story, I nodded directly and agreed to her request.
The reason why I agreed so happily was that in addition to the fact that she had helped me just now, there was another reason, that is, the Southern Xinjiang Wizard Regiment was our common enemy.
We were looking for the fragments of the Soul Refining Pot, and it was originally to deal with the Southern Xinjiang Wizard Order, and in this regard, we had the same goal as the Yin Yang Association.
"That's great!"
Seeing that I readily agreed, the fourth sister was very happy, and then said, "In addition, I have another request." ”
"If you want to do things in the capital in the future, it will inevitably conflict with some other Yin and Yang schools, so I want you to join the Yin and Yang Association temporarily, and after the matter is resolved, you can decide for yourself whether you want to quit or not."
As soon as I heard it, I thought what the fourth sister said was very reasonable, now that we are not in the north after all, without the protection of Third Master Hu and Wutang Daxian, and with the signboard of the Yin and Yang Association, we should also be able to avoid some unnecessary troubles, and it will be more convenient for us to find the fragments of the soul refining pot in the future.
After discussing a few words with Langnie and the others, everyone had no opinion, so I nodded to the fourth sister.
"No problem, we can join the Yin and Yang Association."
The fourth sister suddenly laughed: "That's great, congratulations on becoming a member of the Yin Yang Association!" ”
I asked a little puzzled, "Fourth sister, what do you mean by this, how are we members of the investigation?" ”
The fourth sister said with some embarrassment: "That's the case, anyone who joins our Yin-Yang Association needs to go through the test of three tasks before they can be absorbed as a full member, and before that, they can only be regarded as a member of the inspection." ”
"This is the process of joining the club set by our president, and I hope you can understand."
I couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you the president?" ”
"Of course not,"
The fourth sister shook her head: "I'm in the Yin-Yang Association, in fact, I can't even count as the top three leaders, I'm just temporarily in charge of the Yin-Yang affairs in the Xudu region, and this time I came to you, in fact, it is also the meaning of the president." ”
As soon as the fourth sister said this, I also understood, after all, she didn't look like she was even thirty years old, and she was just a teenager more than ten years ago, how could she be familiar with Third Master Hu.
In this way, the president behind her is the one who makes the decision.
"Well, we promise you that you can complete three tasks."
In my opinion, these three tasks are just a process, and there should be no difficulty, so I didn't think much about it, so I directly agreed to the fourth sister.
The fourth sister nodded, took out a key, and handed it to me.
"On Xiangluo Street in the western suburbs of Xudu, there is an incense and candle shop, you can live there these days, and there will be customers coming to your door when the time comes, and every time you help customers solve a supernatural event, it is considered to have completed a task."
After finishing speaking, the fourth sister left me a phone number, and asked a member of the Yin-Yang Association to drive us to Xiangluo Street.
What appeared in front of us was a two-story small building, with six big characters written on the door: Xiangluo Street Incense Candle Shop!
I took out the key and opened the door, and I walked in, the inside of the store was elegantly and neatly furnished, and there were various colors of sandalwood, rune paper, paper horse incense candles and other things on both sides.
"What about the previous owner here?"
I looked at the candle shop and asked the member of the Yin-Yang Association next to me.
"Oh, he's got some things to do back to his division, and it will take three months to come back."
The member of the association replied.
I didn't say anything, but I felt more and more, why did we seem to get into the trap of the fourth sister?
"Brother Cheng, why do I feel like we are being tricked?"
Bai Ze also came over and whispered to me.
Indeed, on the surface, these four sisters said that they wanted us to join the Yin and Yang Association to provide us with convenience, but in fact, they asked us to be the owner of the incense and candle shop for her, and she did odd jobs for free for three months!
However, since I had promised her just now, I don't have much to say, I can only look forward to completing the task as soon as possible and investigating the details of Chen Jiu and the wizard of Southern Xinjiang.
"If you come here, you will be safe, let's take a look first."
I whispered to Bai Ze.
The member of the Yin-Yang Association bought us some daily necessities, gave us a few words, and left.
At this time, there was already a long queue outside, and we were just getting busy doing business!
After some discussion, we quickly decided to divide the tasks.
Xiao Na, Ah Kang and Jing Jing were in charge of selling those paper horse incense candles, and Bai Ze and Hu Zihua were in charge of helping customers look at the incense and cut things.
As for the task of solving the supernatural incident, since the fourth sister has already been named, it is naturally up to me to deal with it, and Lonnie is responsible for assisting me.
After everyone divided the work, they went to their own business, and not long after I sat down, two people walked in outside the door.
"Hey, which of you is the one who solves the problem?"
