After shopping, I discussed some things about the cave with Dai Mei and said goodbye at the Chenghuang Mansion.
I, along with all the ghosts, will borrow the road from Chenghuang's Yangjian Road to go back to the world of the world, and Dai Mei will go back to the cave by herself.
After staying in the underworld for so long, it was already noon when I returned to the earth, and the ghost shop hadn’t opened yet, so I called Li Qinghe. After all, the Xuanmen Family Conference was about to be held, so I had to do some research in advance and ask him.
Things about the Xuanmen Family Conference.
Li Qinghe suggested we get together tonight, and I readily agreed.
I called the Liao brothers again. Liao Zhao was confused by Zhao Yu. He had been sleeping during the day and answered the phone in a hazy state. I asked if anyone had sent anything.
Liao Zhao woke up in a daze: "What day? Last night, an old man drove a pickup truck to deliver things. He didn't see you, and he couldn't trust us, so he stayed here directly and slept in the guest room for the night.
I don’t know if I got up or not.”
When I heard this, I was stunned for a moment. I planned to go see this old man. After walking out of the road, I took a tricycle and went back to the Taoist Temple.
When we went there, a strange old man was drinking tea there.
The old man was in his seventies, had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and looked strange. He took one look at me and stood up: "Are you Xia Yitian? My surname is Long and my first name is Eleven."
"Hello, Mr. Long. I am Xia Yitian. I live in a humble house. I feel wronged by Mr. Long. I wonder if Mr. Long is the one who gave me the shield?" I asked.
"Yes, it's me. I don't live in a humble house. Anyway, I saw that your formation is magical, and I wanted to study it. But I didn't fall asleep all night last night, haha." Long Shiyi, an old man, doesn't have much airs.
It also gave rise to his purpose of staying here.
"Mr. Long was introduced to me by the farm owner?" Nong Guofu came here in person before, but now the owner of the things came, which was really beyond my expectation.
"Haha, Nong Guofu is not easy to deal with. The old man has deceived him several times, so this time I heard that a knowledgeable person wanted a ghost king-level shield, so I didn't ask him for a penny at all. I only asked for your address.
, The old man has selfish motives, and he also wants to keep customers like you who buy ghost weapons directly in his hands." Long Shiyi didn't hide it, he told the truth.
"Haha, Mr. Long, that's good for you. His shield asked me for 10 million yuan!" I turned green when I heard that, this rich farmer actually asked me for 10 million yuan! How cunning!
"Ah! The cost of this thing is only two million..." Long Shiyi sat down on the stool in disbelief. He didn't expect that this wealthy farmer would dare to sell a piece of free equipment at this price!
I was also surprised. It seemed that the old man was so frightened by the profiteers that he even revealed the cost price.
"Mr. Long is an expert in making ghost weapons?" I asked tentatively.
"Haha, it's hard to make a meal without rice. I'm an expert, but the cost of materials is much more expensive now. It's harder to sell ghost weapons recently. I can't make ends meet. It's hard to find a buyer. I have to pay Nong Guofu every time.
Let me tell you the truth, several of my regular customers are either dead, or they can't come out of the world. Who else needs this in today's great world? I used to occasionally do some ghost generals in the world.
Business, but they are all poor people. After several accidents, I stopped doing the ghost business. I also put the production of ghost weapons on hold and just sold inventory. I have a few prodigal children at home and now I owe a lot of debt.
I ran away. I have to run a business and pay off my debts when I get old. I really have no choice. That's why." Long Shiyi sighed.
I picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Mr. Long. Xijun was beside me. After looking at it for a while, he took the teapot from my hand and poured me a cup too.
She found it interesting and I didn’t stop her. Long Shiyi saw Xijun’s well-behaved nature and liked him quite a lot. He wanted to reach out and touch the girl’s head, but when his hand reached halfway, he retracted and took a breath of cold air.
.Evaluate the saint and idiot.
He actually knew Xijun’s identity?
Xijun tilted his head, ran over and hugged me, and looked at Long Shiyi.
"Is this the female ghost with the wish-fulfilling bracelet? But where is the bracelet..." Long Shiyi asked in confusion, as if he didn't understand what was going on.
He didn't know that Xijun had eaten the Ruyi bracelet.
"It's this female ghost. I treat her as my younger sister." It seems that the agent who provided ghost weapons to Nong Guofu is him. Maybe he is also an expert in studying ghosts. Knowing that Xijun is a ghost, then
It's not surprising, even I may not recognize it from other people.
"Haha, I can see this. Being so carefree is enough to prove your relationship with her." Long Shiyi understood what I was thinking, so he explained. He seemed to be confused about why the bracelet was missing.
"Give her the bracelet to eat." I hesitated and said.
Long Shiyi's expression suddenly dawned: "I understand, the God-Devouring Ghost General! No, it should be the God-Devouring Ghost King now."
I frowned. I didn’t expect that Long Shiyi would directly reveal his identity as Xijun. It seemed that he knew something. I quickly asked: "Mr. Long, do you know about the God-Swallowing Ghost General? Can you be one of them?"
What form of ghost is it?"
Long Shiyi thought for a while and said: "I only know the characteristics of the Devouring God. It is similar to the ancient Taotie. It swallows everything and becomes its nutrients. As for the way it is formed, it is unknown. Maybe it is fusion? Maybe it is something else.
It was caused by something. In short, it is not formed naturally. However, since it is a swallowing god, it is worth treating it well in terms of controlling it. I think you have cultivated it so well, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.
,only……"
After that, Long Shiyi took a careful look at Xijun and didn't dare to come out.
"Just what?" I was surprised, thinking that Long Shiyi was afraid that Xijun would be angry after hearing this, so he hugged Xijun over.
Xijun leaned in my arms obediently. As long as she has lollipops to eat, she is quite harmless. I now have an extra pack of lollipops in my carry-on props.
"Oh, maybe I'm worrying too much. You are a ghost-raiser and know much more than an old man like me. Just treat her like this. That's right. Who are you from Senior Zhou Ying?" Long Shi
When asked about it.
"Grandson." Why is he someone we know again? I couldn't help but laugh. As expected, grandma has made friends all over the world.
"Oh, she was my big customer back then, but it's such a pity that she lived in seclusion." Long Shiyi looked as if that was indeed the case.
Didn’t he know that grandma had passed away? It seemed that he had only recently returned to the world, so I told him the news about grandma’s death.
Long Shiyi was stunned for a long time, and finally felt extremely regretful. He shook his head and sighed. It seemed that we had a lot of business contacts in the past.
The shopkeeper Long Shiyi my grandma met was nice, but I met the treacherous and cunning Nong Guofu, who was really a trick of his own making.
We chatted for a long time, and we were all quite happy. We also talked about some business matters. Long Shiyi did not hide anything, and explained to me one by one some of his recent ideas, including expanding his business scope.
thing.
I thought it was interesting, so I thought for a while and said: "Mr. Long, to tell you the truth, in addition to inheriting my grandmother's way of raising ghosts, I also inherited the traditions of the Yin and Yang family. I want to open a ghost shop in the underworld. If you have this idea,
Craftsmanship, why don’t you cooperate with me to start a business together and make some extravagant profits, which we can convert into RMB and share equally?”
Long Shiyi listened carefully and was very happy: "It seems that I have come to the right place this time. Just now I felt regretful because I made ten million for profit for profiteers. Now you actually gave me such a big opportunity? But
I don’t have much material left...Ah, you are a Yin Yang family, you can go to the underworld to get it for me, and this problem is solved."
"Mr. Long thinks more clearly than me, that's right." I said politely.
"This is a good thing. Let's do it according to your wishes. By the way, I'm very strange. What do you want to do after building the Four Immortals Taoist Temple? You can't live in so many houses, right? Last night, your
The two corpse kings and their two companions have all gone to the county town and have not returned, so a group of workers and I are the only ones here." Long Shiyi shook his head, feeling that it was a waste.
"This is the home my senior brother entrusted to me before he died. His last wish was for me to rebuild the Four Immortals Taoist Temple. After it is built in the future, it may become a place for friends to gather, it may become a real sect, or it may open a store or something.
Actually, I'm not sure. As for me, I have a special constitution, and my cultivation method is mainly ghost way. I usually live in the underworld cave under the Taoist temple." I don't know why Long Shiyi asked, but after thinking about it, I
I understand, the old man seems to owe a lot of debts, and he wants to come here to hide from his debts, right?
Long Shiyi coughed dryly and said with a shy face: "I think it's quite safe here. There were two more corpse kings watching here during the day..."
"Mr. Long, since we are working together to open a business in the underworld, how about you live directly in the Sixian Taoist Temple from now on? In this way, it will be more convenient to make ghost weapons, and I don't have to go back and forth to find you after I get the materials.
, I feel like old friends at first sight, and it’s convenient for everyone to chat!” I quickly grabbed his attention.
After hearing this, Long Shiyi immediately clapped his thighs, looking like he was enlightened: "Yes! Why didn't I think of that? He is indeed the grandson of Senior Zhou, he is smart!"
The old man and the young man looked at each other and laughed. They hit it off immediately and worked out some details, so they arranged for him to stay. When I took him to the guest room, I saw that the leather shoes under his suit were torn. I couldn't help but feel sad: Alas, it's hard for the elderly too.
Yeah, I guess I was worried by loan sharks and was afraid of being beaten, so I came here. At least others wouldn't dare to go too far when they come to collect debts. With Zhao Yu, the corpse king who protects the calf, who dares to bully him?
Seeing that it was getting late, I said goodbye to Long Shishi and went to the county seat to date Li Qinghe.
Li Qing and he are responsible for bringing people from Dalong County who are attending the Family Conference to their appointments, as long as I arrive.
Except for killing Fan Xuwen and putting his life on the line, things have been going smoothly lately, and nothing remotely thrilling has happened. It seems that someone is deliberately trying to stir up my troubles. But how long can this temporary tranquility be sustained? The Xuanmen family
The conference will inevitably lead to a bloody storm, right?
