Chapter 19: Evil Spirits
"What the hell is going on?" Shopkeeper Zhu asked in a deep voice.
Seeing that the situation was so bad, Shopkeeper Zhu couldn't control his anger and didn't want to control it.
This is also the central area of Pegasus Market, Gao Xian has only been here for more than two months, and he doesn't know a few people, who would come to his house in the middle of the night to set fire!
Even if there is a real grudge, how good it would be to kill Gao Xian directly.
Shopkeeper Zhu felt that this must have been done by Gao Xian himself, maybe it was because the pill refining failed, and a lot of medicinal materials were damaged, and he felt that there was no way to deal with it.
Or did this kid take out the refined pill and sell it secretly, so he set fire to destroy the evidence?!
Gao Xian's eyes drooped slightly, avoiding looking at the shopkeeper Zhu. With years of career in 996, he has a wealth of experience in dealing with angry bosses.
Avoiding eye contact and showing humility can effectively avoid exacerbating conflicts.
"I don't know who came running and threw a flare, and it almost scared me to death."
Gao Xian's face was innocent and a little frightened, and his expression was very in place.
The blazing fire illuminated the courtyard, and Shopkeeper Zhu could clearly see the subtle expression on Gao Xian's face, and he didn't see any problems.
This also made Shopkeeper Zhu a little suspicious of his own judgment, did he wronged this kid?
After all, Gao Xian is only in his early twenties, and he has been studying alchemy all the time, and he has no life experience, so if there is a problem, he will not behave so naturally.
The quality of the pills provided by Gao Xian is very good, and it has been praised by many people. It can be seen that Gao Xian is quite talented in alchemy.
For such talents, you really can't be too rude.
Shopkeeper Zhu was a little unsure, and with the help of the flames, he carefully looked at Gao Xian.
The flame light was strong but unstable, swaying and jumping constantly changing, and Gao Xian's face was also illuminated by the flickering light and darkness.
Gao Hyun is calm, he is destroying evidence, but he will compensate for the damage. Nothing to be afraid of.
He said loudly: "Brother Zhu, no matter who did it, I will compensate for these losses." ”
Shopkeeper Zhu shook his head a little strangely, "No, no......"
Gao Xian was slightly surprised, how could Shopkeeper Zhu see that something was wrong?
He knew that if he said too much, he would lose, and he didn't understand the meaning of Shopkeeper Zhu, so he didn't dare to explain indiscriminately.
He looked at the shopkeeper Zhu blankly.
Shopkeeper Zhu blessed himself with the Qi Observation Technique, and the spiritual light in his small eyes shone brightly, and he could see that something was wrong when he looked at Gao Xian again.
He took two steps back, and he suddenly became a little nervous, "Xiao Gao, have you encountered anything unusual recently?" ”
Gao Xian is a little inexplicable, Zhu shopkeeper is a little scared?
He thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing unusual, it's just that I seemed to see a black shadow flashing last night, maybe this guy set the fire!" ”
Shopkeeper Zhu's expression became more solemn, "Xiao Gao, I see that your Yin Tang is black, but I'm afraid that you have encountered an evil spirit and become evil, which is very bad!" ”
"Huh?!"
Gao Xian was shocked and suspicious, did Shopkeeper Zhu really see something, or did he scare him?
He hurriedly asked, "What then?" ”
"There is a specialization in the art industry, you go to find Zhou Ye, the owner of the Spirit Rune Hall, this person is very powerful in Shaoyang Fu, and he is good at dispelling evil energy."
Shopkeeper Zhu also emphasized: "Evil qi enters the body, and if it is not properly disposed of, it will corrode the body and mind, and will attract evil spirits. It's no joke that your life is in jeopardy. ”
Hearing what Shopkeeper Zhu said was so serious, Gao Xian was also a little scared, he couldn't help but think of the fleeting black shadow, could it really be that he hit the evil spirit!
Gao Xian said with some embarrassment: "What about the house?" ”
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he wants to sell his pity, maybe the shopkeeper Zhu is soft-hearted, and he can accompany him less.
Speaking of the house, Shopkeeper Zhu's expression became more serious: "There are still five hundred Bailu Dan left, which is converted into fifty spirit stones." I won't forget about the other herbs with you.
"These fifty spirit stones, four pieces will be deducted from your monthly money every month, and they will be paid off in a year and a half."
Gao Xian was speechless, he had five spirit stones a month, and he deducted four at once, he didn't eat or drink......
Shopkeeper Zhu is really a qualified capitalist, favors belong to people, money returns to money, and the two are never mixed together.
No, why should it be a year and a half!
"Brother Zhu, did you miscalculate?"
Shopkeeper Zhu looked embarrassed, "The medicinal herb business is big and profitable, and it makes hard money. My spirit stones are not enough to turnover, and I have pressed fifty spirit stones from you, and the installment is so long, of course, I have to calculate the interest......"
This reason is really sufficient, Gao Xian wants to give a thumbs up to the shopkeeper Zhu, he deserves to be the boss and deserves to make money!
"It's my fault, it's my fault." Gao Xian didn't argue, he just took out more spirit stones.
He stole and sold the elixir of the shopkeeper Zhu, and it was kind enough not to let him compensate ten times, and he had no right to be unhappy.
Besides, the kind of relationship between him and Qi Niang, everyone is a brother-in-law relative, and there is no need to worry too much about each other.
"Brother, you are sensible."
Shopkeeper Zhu was very satisfied with Gao Xian's well-behaved attitude, he thought for a while and said: "The house needs to be repaired again, you first find a place to live for a few days." ”
"You're tonight,"
Shopkeeper Zhu originally wanted to take Gao Xian back to the pharmacy, but after thinking about it, this kid has evil spirits on him, but he can't take him back.
"You hurry up and go to Zhou Ye and solve the evil spirit."
After speaking, Shopkeeper Zhu waved his hand again and again, signaling Gao Xian to leave quickly.
Gao Xian didn't dare to slack off, although the shopkeeper Zhu was greedy for money, he was quite reliable in doing things, since the other party disliked him so much, obviously evil spirit was not a trivial matter.
He wrapped his belongings, picked them up and left.
Fortunately, the moon is very bright in the sky, which makes Gao Xian feel a little more secure.
According to the place where Shopkeeper Zhu said, Gao Xian found the Spirit Rune Hall at the edge of the street in the center of Pegasus
Lingrune Hall, as the name suggests, sells magic talismans.
The shop is not big, and there is a dark red lantern hanging at the door, and if you look closely, the lantern is actually painted with runes.
Gao Xian didn't have much research on the talisman, and he didn't recognize what the talisman represented after looking at it twice, probably to exorcise evil spirits and avoid filth.
He sighed to himself: "Sure enough, he is a man who sells magic talismans, and he has a lot of money!" ”
The door of the Spirit Rune Hall was closed, and Gao Xian could only call the door hard.
After a while, an old and dry voice came from inside the gate: "It's closed, I'll come back tomorrow if I have something." ”
Gao Xian hurriedly said, "I have something urgent to find Mr. Zhou,"
He was afraid that the other party would refuse, so he added: "Senior Gaoxian, a disciple of Xu Mingyuan of Lianyun Sect, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy Zhu asked me to come over." Please make it easier. ”
This Pegasus Sect was opened up by Lianyun Sect, and all kinds of big transactions such as magic weapons, pills, and magic talismans in the bazaar were in the hands of Lianyun Sect.
Zhou Ye is naturally also a member of Lianyun Sect.
Lianyun Sect is very big, however, Xu Mingyuan, as a master of Lianyun Sect's alchemy, is still a little famous.
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy Zhu is also a big man in Pegasus.
Gao Xian brought these two out, thinking that Zhou Ye should give face. He had actually seen Zhou Ye, but he didn't know if the other party remembered him.
Sure enough, there was movement inside the door, and soon the door opened.
An old man in Tsing Yi walked out, he unceremoniously lifted the lantern and shone on Gao Xian's face, "It's you, what's the matter with you so late?" ”
The old man in Tsing Yi knew Gao Xian, and he was about to teach a lesson, but before he finished speaking, he saw that something was wrong: "Yintang is black and full of evil spirits, you kid is unlucky enough!" ”
Gao Xian would have been skeptical, but now that the old man in Tsing Yi said so, he was really a little panicked.
"Mr. Zhou, am I serious? And save?! ”
The old man in Tsing Yi looked Gao Xian up and down, and he said slowly: "Whether you can be saved or not depends on how many spirit stones you have......
Although he has seen Gao Xian and has a little friendship with Xu Mingyuan, it is impossible for him to act in vain.
Gao Xian wanted to sigh, these cultivators were more calculating than small traders! It's just that it's about his own life, and he can't be allowed to play his temper.
"It's easy to talk about the spirit stone."
Gao Xian said respectfully: "Please also ask Mr. Zhou to save me first." ”
"Okay."
The old man in Tsing Yi stretched out his hand: "Ten spirit stones." ”
Gao Xian breathed a sigh of relief, plus the more than ten spirit stones sent by Lao Wang, he had as many as fifteen spirit stones, and he could afford to give them completely!
Zhou Ye accepted ten spirit stones, and his face looked a little better, "Come in." ”
Entering the door is a main hall, and two oil lamps illuminate the room very brightly.
In the center is a screen painted with landscapes, and in front of it is a square table with some tea sets on it, which seems to be used for entertaining guests.
There are several long tables on the walls on both sides, on which some talismans, Taoist books and other items are placed.
Gao Xian was looking at the room, and a woman in blue turned out from behind the screen, "Dad, who is it so late?" ”
The woman in blue is in her early twenties, with willow eyebrows and curved eyes, and her eyebrows are full of moving and delicate.
Her hair was in a high bun, and a golden phoenix hairpin was inserted diagonally, and the ruby pendant on the hairpin swayed gently with her steps, shining beautifully in the light, and her skin was as white as snow.
The blue robe rippled back and forth like a water light, which made the woman a little more dusty.
Gao Xian was slightly surprised, the woman was actually wearing a legal robe, so that her whole body could flash with aura, she was really a rich woman!
The woman in blue didn't expect that there were outsiders in the room, she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Gao Xian, she blinked her eyes and looked at Gao Xian carefully, with a look of surprise on her face.
Zhou Ye turned his back to the woman, and couldn't see the woman's expression, he replied casually: "Xu Mingyuan's apprentice, he is infected with evil qi, I'll show him." ”
He turned around and said, "Ling'er, you go back first, don't stay here, don't get infected with evil spirits, it's not good for your body." ”
"Dad, then I'll go back first."
When the woman in blue left, she looked at Gao Xian deeply, and her eyes were a little happy and a little eager.
Gao Xian's heart is a little itchy, what does this look mean? Could it be that this woman has a leg with him?!
