Chapter 25: Half an Inn IV
"Guest officer, are you here, do you want to stay in the hotel?" Wu Chang smiled and squinted and pulled Concubine Mi to the lobby on the first floor of the half of the inn, Concubine Xiao Mi was not yet as tall as Wu Chang's thighs, and hid behind, others naturally couldn't see it, as soon as the shopkeeper saw someone, he threw the sweat towel on his shoulder, shouted and greeted him, and habitually looked behind him, but he was stunned when he saw Concubine Mi, but he quickly reacted, but his voice was not lowered and shouted: "Your Royal Highness Princess, are you here again today?"
Wu Chang tugged at the corners of his mouth, thinking that the second child in this store was really dedicated, and after thinking about it, he seemed to be a little hungry, so he said: "Eat first, and then stay in the hotel, oh, by the way, little girl, where did your father go just now?
Concubine Mi glared at Wu Chang and said viciously: "Don't say bad things about my father! My father always goes home from work on time for dinner, and he doesn't delay at all!" Wu Chang hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "What a good family man! Your mother must be very fierce!"
"Who said that, in addition to not letting my father spend the night outside, my mother is not allowed to drink and smoke, not to wash his feet, not to eat on time, and is very gentle to my father! Don't say bad things about my mother!"
Concubine Mi stared at Wu Chang and said: "Pick up the most expensive one, anyway, he treats him and eats him poor!" The shopkeeper was honest, and replied with some embarrassment: "Princess, this is a regular inn, different from the black shops elsewhere, we rely on repeat customers, and we talk about reputation, you ...... like this"
Sure enough, it is only women and villains who are difficult to raise, and little women are even more difficult to raise, but Wu Chang didn't dare to say it, and interrupted the shopkeeper with a smile and said: "Come as she said, call your shopkeeper over, I have something to consult!"
"You must be lying, although Nezha's kid is playful, but he is also the apprentice grandson of Sanqing, how can he not even be able to subdue a monkey, if that is really the case, the old man of Taiyi will still pull out his hair in anger! Wu Chang realized that although this little girl is only five or six years old, she is also an old monster who doesn't know how many Yuanhui has lived, Yang Jian is the nephew of the Jade Emperor of Haotian, thinking about it this way, it seems that this time what he said is a bit too much, but this is written by Wu Chengen, who knows if it is true or not? Besides, it's just a novel, who can guarantee that it is all true?
However, Wu Changcai didn't want to be refuted like this, and snorted angrily: "I said that I told you a story, do you still want to listen to it?" I told you, this is a story circulated by the human race, and you will lose if it is true! Besides, which old fairy is not a saint with a big belly who can support a boat, how can he account for so much?"
"Okay, okay, you can say it quickly, I can't say more?" Concubine Mi stared at Wu Chang with a pair of bright big eyes, as if she was afraid of missing a word.
Wu Chang coughed and continued: "In other words, although this Sun Monkey has learned eight or nine hundred and seventy-two changes, the monkey is a monkey after all, but it is still slightly inferior to Yang Jian, the second lang god, and after a few battles, Sun Monkey is gradually a little defeated, plus the heavenly soldiers and generals have already killed the generals to Huaguo Mountain......
"Ji Chang has seen the princess, I don't know if the princess is calling to come over, what are the orders?" Wu Chang was spitting and talking, and Concubine Mi was also listening with relish, an old voice suddenly interjected, and the voice interrupted Wu Changtian's nonsense, Concubine Mi's little face was about to wrinkle, and she hummed with her cheeks: "Uncle Ji is so bad, people are hearing about the fun place, you came over, it's really annoying!"
"My little princess, the old man has come over for a stick of incense, what you said is too fascinating, there is still a mess over there, I really can't wait any longer if I don't interrupt you!" Ji Chang pulled a chair, sat opposite Wu Chang, smiled and asked, "The old man is not very good, don't you mind?"
Wu Chang hurriedly got up, handed over a glass of water, and replied with a smile: "I'm really sorry, it's me who lost my manners, and His Majesty King Wen is atoning for his sins!" Ji Chang hurriedly turned the chair to the side, avoided Wu Chang's salute, and said with a smile: "But I can't afford the title of King Wen, the little old man is just a small account room, just call the little old man Ji Chang, I don't know what to call the little old man over?"
Concubine Mi pointed at Wu Chang and pouted: "It's all he wants to find you, hurry up, and tell a story, Uncle Ji, it turns out that there are so many interesting things in the world, I don't even know it! But my father doesn't want me to go out for a walk!"
Ji Chang's face changed, but it soon returned to its original state, Concubine Mi, who had been complaining, didn't notice it, but Wu Chang, who had been staring at Ji Chang, noticed it, but he didn't know what was going on here, and he didn't dare to ask too rashly, Ji Chang sighed and said: "Our inn is different from the outside world, the society outside is much more complicated than ours here, the lord has set up layers of prohibitions, in addition to protecting the inheritance of the human race, the more important thing is to protect the princess's Zhou, the princess can understand the master's painstaking efforts." ”
"Oh, oops, I know, I know, you guys talk about things, after you talk about things, the eldest brother has to tell me the story of Sun Monkey!" Although Wu Chang was more interested, he was not very transparent in the end, at least he didn't know that Fu Xi had a daughter, and he didn't know what the story of this concubine was, but he could be sure that there must be a reason why these ancestors didn't go out here.
Ji Chang sighed a little helplessly, turned to Wu Chang and said, "I don't know what is the matter with the son looking for the old man?" Wu Chang said: "I see that you are also lonely and lonely here, so I want to hold an event here, it just so happens that the little concubine is also lonely and bored all day long, gathering people together, lively and lively, and then I will pick a few people who can be seen and train well, and we can all have a happy gathering here during the New Year's holidays." ”
"It turned out to be this, okay, okay, I'll go and tell my father right away, what do you say?" As soon as she heard that there was a lively look, Concubine Mi immediately came to her senses, and without waiting for Ji Chang to speak, she chattered and pulled Wu Chang to find Fu Xi, so fortunately, Ji Chang reacted quickly, grabbed Concubine Mi, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, princess, the master should still be eating, he doesn't like to be disturbed when the old man eats, and he is unhappy, no matter how good it is, he will not agree." ”
Concubine Mi also calmed down, hung her little head and muttered with annoyance: "Uncle Ji, you are the smartest, what should you do? What a stupid thing, why didn't you think of letting them tell stories before? The stories of the world are really interesting!"
Ji Chang had no choice, so he turned his face and said to Wu Chang: "This inn has eight floors, and is divided into eight corners around it, and each corner is divided into eight rooms, and this main hall is also designed according to the gossip of the four palaces, although you can see other people, but that may not be true, and don't you think you sit here very quietly? There are people sitting behind you! There are not only human souls here, but also some ghosts of the underworld, and then the Five Elements Bagua Array, sent to the yang world or talking to relatives, if you want to gather, I'm afraid it's not so easy!"
"Then what should I do?" Wu Chang was not in a hurry, Concubine Mi gathered first, and finally found such a lively plan, how could it be said that if it is not implemented, it will not be implemented, Concubine Mi climbed onto the table and hugged Ji Chang's neck and said coquettishly: "Uncle Ji, think of a way, you are the smartest!"
"Don't shake, don't shake, my old bones are going to fall apart!" Although he said this, the smile on the old man's face couldn't stop, and he patted Concubine Mi helplessly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I want to find a way, but there is one more thing I don't know if this little brother has figured out? The soul of a person cannot leave the body for much time, and half of the inn is mainly used to protect the soul, but the time is not long, and the people who come and go can satisfy you, and the princess's idea of joining in the fun may not be realized!"
Concubine Mi is so young, when she heard Ji Chang's analysis, her little face turned solemn, and she squinted at Wu Chang and asked, "You lied to me!"
Wu Chang hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "How do I know this, inn, as long as you stay in the hotel, you will definitely not leave in a while, who knows that everyone here is a part-time room!
"Hehe, this is what you said, don't go back! Uncle Ji, you quickly find a way to help him, isn't it just to find a few people, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 people who come and go here every year, so you can't even find a few people, right?" Ji Chang thought about it, but didn't answer immediately, hugged Concubine Mi down and hugged Wu Chang and said, "I'll go back and ponder, and I'll give you an answer later!"
Wu Chang was not in much of a hurry, to be honest, he had no confidence in recruiting one hundred and eighty, but a few people should be able to recruit, such a generous condition, ordinary people can't resist the temptation, but what Xie Bi'an said to him at the end, as well as what Emperor Fuxi just said, really made him feel a little drummed in his heart, what else did he not know? Perhaps, from beginning to end, he didn't really care about this, and the responsibility he should bear must be borne after all, Wu Chang was also nervous, but now he couldn't retreat.
Follow Concubine Mi to talk and laugh, wait for an hour and still don't see Ji Chang come back, Wu Chang is a little apprehensive in his heart, and his words are a little distracted, although Concubine Mi doesn't know vulgar things, she also feels Wu Chang's anxiety, and said with a chuckle: "Big brother, I'll show you this half of the inn, it is estimated that the old man will use the turtle shell copper plate to calculate for a long time!"
Wu Chang smiled at Concubine Mi, rubbed the little girl's head vigorously, and the two pigtails almost fell apart, which made the little girl angry, Wu Chang said: "To be honest, I am really curious about this half of the inn, I have heard the elders say that there are gods in the sky, and I have heard that there are ghosts in hell, and I have never heard of a half inn, what are the people here called?
"It's not, our ancestors here have been here for generations, my father said, we are not human, we are not immortals, we are not ghosts, we are not Buddhas......"
Wu Chang sighed, nodded and said, "It's just four different things...... Ahh
The little girl puffed out her cheeks and snorted angrily: "You are the four dislikes, the great god of Pangu opened the world and gave birth to countless creatures, but the human race was created by Our Lady of Nuwa, and it is still the lowest!
"Daddy said, we used to be both a demon and a god or a human race, but entrusted by Nuwa Niangniang, has been taking care of the human race, and then the feelings are deep, Daddy can't let go, said that people are the most affectionate, he is willing to always guard the human race, after passing the throne of the human emperor to Xuanyuan, he has been looking for how to protect the human race, deduce the art of gossip, and finally moved the way of heaven, the way of heaven gave this inn, set up the gossip guardian formation, and rumored that the inn does not fall and the human race is not destroyed, but our people here will only enter and not go out for a lifetime, only old and immortal, only born and immortal!”
Wu Chang knows that the way of heaven is the most fair, sometimes, this justice is not close to human feelings, since the way of heaven has given Fu Xi and other defensive arrays that even saints can't break, the corresponding must find the law of balance and maintain the cycle of heaven and earth, this kind of heavy oath must have been made by the emperor of Fuxi himself, thinking of this, I can't help but admire the kind old man.
Seeing Wu Chang's distraction, Concubine Mi patted the table and said dissatisfiedly: "Did you listen to me, really, ignore you!"
"Yes, yes, I'm wrong, haven't I listened to it?Hey, by the way, little concubine, how old are you this year?" Wu Chang held his chin boringly and suddenly asked, Concubine Mi raised her little head, and said very proudly: "Daddy said that I am four thousand nine hundred and six years old......
Wu Chang's arm slid and lay on the table, his eyes almost roared: "How much do you say?"
