Li Qiufeng was shocked and angry in his heart, and when he saw the wine and food rolling on the ground, he was slightly stunned, but he turned his head to look at the Xuanji monk. I saw two plates of vegetarian dishes and a bowl of corn on the table of the Xuanji monk, but there was no trace of chopsticks. Li Qiufeng groaned slightly, and said to the shopkeeper Hu: "You tell me in detail about the situation after we entered Taibai Residence, if you are deliberately deceiving, believe it or not, I will burn down your tavern?!"

The shopkeeper Hu was frightened, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I know, I know, the villain must know everything, and he will say everything." ”

He said this in a hurry, holding his breath in his throat, he couldn't breathe for a while, his eyes rolled when he landed, his hands crossed his neck, and the muscles on his face were twisted, as if someone had choked his throat. When Situ Qiao and the eldest grandson Guangming saw him like this, they were angry and funny in their hearts, and they wanted to step forward to help him smooth his breath, but they heard the sound of "grunt" in the throat of the shopkeeper Hu, and finally swallowed this breath. I saw that his face was pale, and he rubbed his chest that was extremely swollen and painful, and then he said: "A few uncles arrived at the small shop at noon......

Li Qiufeng snorted and said, "You make it clear, who are the people who arrived together?"

Shopkeeper Hu was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Qiufeng and the others, and then continued: "It's you four uncles!"

Li Qiufeng knew that Shopkeeper Hu was talking about himself, Situ Qiao, Changsun Guangming, and Su Yan, and the situation was the same as when he entered Taibai Ju, so he nodded and said, "You go on." ”

The shopkeeper Hu said: "Yes, after the four masters arrived, they ordered food." After a while, the great monk also arrived. To tell the truth, the small shop worships Taishang Laojun, and he didn't want to rejoice, but the big monk is kind and kind-eyed, and at first glance he is a great monk, and the villain is reluctant to make it difficult for him, so he asks the big monk to sit down and eat. It's just that several uncles seem to be a little tired, and soon after sitting down, one of them fell asleep on the table. ”

When Shopkeeper Hu said this, he pointed at Su Yan and said, "The one who fell asleep on the table was this young uncle." As for the three of you, sit on a stool and close your eyes. At first, the villain thought that the three of them were just resting with their eyes closed. It's just that when the villain wanted to ask the three if they wanted to add a pot of medicinal wine unique to the store, they asked a few times one after another, but no one answered, and the villain knew that the three masters were actually sitting and asleep. Looking at the appearance of a few dusty servants, it was quite hard to go all the way, and the villain didn't dare to worry about the uncle's rest. Fortunately, the meal was not yet ready, and there was no need to wake up a few people. It's just that a few masters seem to have nightmares, and from time to time they will make some strange noises......"

Shopkeeper Hu said as he carefully looked at the faces of Li Qiufeng and the others, for fear of offending a few people verbally. The eldest grandson Guangming glanced at the mysterious monk and said to the shopkeeper Hu: "After we fall asleep, what is this great monk doing?"

Shopkeeper Hu said: "The great monk sat at the table, but he also closed his eyes. At first, we thought that the great monk was reciting Amitabha, but later we also wanted to ask him if he wanted to drink alcohol. As a result, the great monk didn't say a word, and we found out that the great monk also fell asleep. ”

His voice fell, Li Qiufeng pointed at the mysterious old man, and said, "When did this old gentleman come?"

Shopkeeper Hu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When a few uncles didn't seem to be asleep, Lao Yan had already arrived. He is the most famous herbal connoisseur in our ten miles and eight villages, and there are a few medicinal herbs in the exclusive secret medicinal wine of the small shop, which only Lao Yan can find. When he came to the shop today, he brought the dragon dan grass, which is indispensable for brewing medicinal wine. I remember that when Lao Yan entered the door, several uncles didn't seem to sleep, and turned their heads to look at Lao Yan. Later, I only cared about talking to Lao Yan, and I didn't pay attention to when the uncles fell asleep......"

Li Qiufeng and the others carefully recalled the previous situation, and vaguely remembered that when the old man surnamed Yan entered the store, the Yang family's father and son, Gao Lishi and his four followers had already entered Taibaiju. Why didn't Shopkeeper Hu mention Yang Ye and the others at this time? Li Qiufeng glanced at Lao Yan, who was standing on the side, and saw that this old man was in his seventies, his face was ruddy, straight like a baby, and although his clothes were full of patches, they were very clean. This is indeed the same as when I first saw him in my memory.

Li Qiufeng was shocked in his heart, and when he was about to speak, he heard Situ Qiao sneer and say to the shopkeeper Hu: "You old boy is not telling the truth. Before this Yan Lao entered the store, there were eight other people in the store in addition to the four of us and this great monk. Why don't you mention these eight people?!"

Shopkeeper Hu was stunned, turned his head to look at the shopkeeper who was trembling and hiding by the door, and then said to Situ Qiao: "Uncle, what you said is a joke, even if you add me and Erhu, it is not enough for eight people......"

"Phew, you two aren't human!"

Situ Qiao said viciously. It's just that as soon as the words came out, he immediately knew that what he said was wrong, so he had to continue: "Lao Tzu is saying that those eight people do not include you and this little cub!"

Situ Qiao said as he pointed in the direction where the monk was sitting, and said, "There are three people who arrived a little later than the four of us. It was these three men who brought the monk into the shop together. Later, there were five more people, led by a guy in a big red robe. The red-robed guy wanted to buy the horses of the three men who came first, but he was refused. Later, one of his entourages also crashed into the shopkeeper and asked you about the road to the Skull King Temple, have you forgotten these things?"

When the shopkeeper Hu heard the words "Skeleton King Temple", his face changed greatly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said in a trembling voice: "My mother! No wonder there is such an evil door today, it turns out that the Skeleton King has appeared......

Before he finished speaking, he only heard a "plop" sound, but the shopkeeper was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks.

Li Qiufeng and the others were a little shocked when they saw the shopkeeper Hu and the shopkeeper being scared like this. Situ Qiao snorted and said, "What the fuck Skeleton King! If you don't tell the truth, Lao Tzu will screw off all the heads of you and this little cub as a night pot!"

At this time, the shopkeeper Hu was so frightened that his whole body trembled like chaff, and his teeth struck each other up and down, making a rattle. I only heard him say in a trembling voice: "Four masters, after you arrived at the small shop, where have there been eight people?!"

When he said this, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the mysterious monk first, and then pointed at Lao Yan, and said: "After the four masters arrived, the great monk arrived. Then it was Lao Yan who came to send Longdan grass. While the villain was talking to Lao Yan, the dead ghost didn't know when it would arrive......"

When Shopkeeper Hu said this, his face suddenly changed again, and he couldn't help but look at the corpse on the ground.

Li Qiufeng saw Shopkeeper Hu like this, and knew that there must be something strange in it, and when he saw that Shopkeeper Hu didn't say anything, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with this person?"

Shopkeeper Hu said in a trembling voice: "If it weren't for the uncle's inquiry, the villain wouldn't have felt that there was anything wrong." But when I think about it now, this person and this person seem to have suddenly appeared in the store out of thin air, and the villain and villain can't even remember how he walked in......"

When he said this, he turned his head to the shopkeeper who was sitting by the door and said, "Erhu, do you remember when this dead ghost entered the store?"

The shopkeeper's eyes were dull, his face was frightened, and when he was suddenly asked by the shopkeeper Hu, his body trembled suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice: "No, I don't remember...... He, he, he seemed, as if he had suddenly drilled out of the ground, out of the ground......"

Li Qiufeng saw that the old man and the young were scared like this, but it didn't seem to be fake, and then asked, "What happened?"

Shopkeeper Hu's face turned pale, and he said, "This dead ghost ordered wine and food, and he started talking nonsense with us." It is said that our Shanxi is a good place, and the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty originated from Shanxi. What do you say about Tang Gaozu Li Yuan Longxing Taiyuan, Tang Taizong Li Shimin also left many legends in our Shanxi, and finally mentioned the Yang family general in the Northern Song Dynasty......"

Li Qiufeng, Situ Qiao, and Eldest Sun Guangming listened to the shopkeeper Hu's words, and confirmed them one by one with their previous encounters, and found that the characters in the strange things they encountered had all been mentioned by the dead man in gray. The more the three of them listened, the more frightened they became, and by the end of the day, the sweat was already trickling down their foreheads.

When Shopkeeper Hu saw Li Qiufeng and the others like this, he only said that a few people had a holiday with the gray-clothed man, and he was even more careful when he spoke. I only heard him say: "A few masters, this dead ghost has a bad face, and he must not be a good person." When he was talking to me, his eyes were sinister, and he couldn't stop spinning around a few masters. By the way, the villain remembered one more thing. After the uncles fell asleep, this dead ghost once took advantage of the villain and Erhu to go to the back room to clean up the food for everyone, and quietly slipped to the uncles. It's just that the villain and the second tiger came back early, so he had to stay a few farther away. Now that I think about it, there is a good chance that this dead ghost is a thief and wants to commit a crime here. Fortunately, God has eyes, and before this dead ghost can make a move, he took him in......"

Li Qiufeng thought that he had been in the illusion before, and he had noticed that someone was approaching him several times. It's just that every time he is shocked, he has to draw a knife to fight back. It's just that the man saw the opportunity very quickly, and before he could make a knife, he disappeared suddenly. Could it be that he was in his sleep, that is, this gray-clothed man repeatedly wanted to sneak attack him, but he was afraid of his martial arts, or was discovered by the shopkeeper Hu and the shopkeeper, so he couldn't stop it?

I only heard the shopkeeper Hu say: "A few uncles, villains never dare to lie." The dead ghost was the last customer to arrive at the shop today, and there was no one else. As for the eight people mentioned by this uncle, the villain has never seen them at all. ”

When Shopkeeper Hu said this, he turned to Lao Yan and said, "Lao Yan, tell a few uncles about those eight people who have never been to this store!"

When Li Qiufeng and others pressed the shopkeeper Hu, Lao Yan stood aside and did not speak. At this time, he heard that the shopkeeper Hu asked him to testify, so he said: "A few guest officers, the shopkeeper Hu said well. After Xiao Lao'er arrived here, there were no other customers in the store except for the four guest officers and the great monk. Later, this unfortunate guest officer didn't know when he came, and indeed as the shopkeeper Hu said, this person slipped to the table of several guest officers many times, and the little old man looked at him a little strangely. ”
