Shopkeeper Xue is the master, and he greets Su Lie uninvited, of course, he has to do his best to be the master.

When the young man re-served the tea, and put a plate of peanuts and a plate of melon seeds on the table, he said, "I just heard that Mr. Su is interested in the waste in my back kitchen, and said that he wants to buy it, is he really going to use it to put the flower pots?" ”

What a straight to the point! Shopkeeper Xue talked without beating around the bush, casting Su Lie's temper, although he was a little surprised, but he was not rude, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, Su Mou has this intention, just because yesterday my brother described the size of the iron cabinet, which seems to be in harmony with the area of the courtyard, he became interested, I don't know if Shopkeeper Xue can cut love?" ”

Shopkeeper Xue smiled bitterly, "Xue is not a stingy person, if anything in my Zhenxiang Restaurant can enter Mr. Su's eyes, Xue is very honored, and I am willing to let you move away." It's just that this iron ball ......"

"Oh? Is there anything unspeakable about Shopkeeper Xue? Su Lie was also blunt, and did not conceal his true intentions.

Shopkeeper Xue looked helpless and replied: "Mr. Su is well-read, I wonder if you have ever read an ancient book called "Strange Chronicles"? ”

Su Lie knew that Shopkeeper Xue was also a literati, but he didn't expect that he even knew about this book, so he hurriedly replied: "I have read it, and I have also studied it deeply, and I know that there is indeed a void space where yin and yang converge in the world." ”

Shopkeeper Xue sighed and replied: "Yes, I don't know how much influence the void space connects yin and yang, but I know very well that if the people in the yang realm are contaminated with the qi of space, they can open the ghost eyes, and they are often troubled by yin ghosts." Xue is such an unfortunate person, and it is very easy to be involved in the ghost force field. ”

"Ghost Force Field?!"

Su Lie was surprised to hear these three words, Huang Zhao kept silent, and couldn't help muttering at this time.

Xue shopkeeper said: "Yes, I'm not afraid of the two of you laughing, the time when Xue was born was midnight, and the location of his hometown is very close to the void space, whether it is the timeline or the space line, it has violated the taboo that people in the yang world must avoid, so there is a ghost body that ordinary people avoid and fear, which is also the reason why I was determined to stay in Chang'an and didn't need to go out at night." ”

It is explained in the "Records of Different Aspirations" that the void space is filled with a large amount of spiritual energy, which is formed by the convergence of yin and yang qi, but because it has the dual attributes of yin and yang, it is impossible to go to any space. Establishing a storage space with the characteristics of an intermediate medium can lock in the spirit and prevent it from harming the two realms. However, the qi is formless and difficult to restrain it, so that there is always leaking qi from the void into the Second Realm, although it cannot become a potential, it may form a weak aura.

Yang energy leaks into the underworld to form a yang force field, preventing ghosts from entering the six realms, lingering in hell and wailing all day long. When the yin qi leaks into the yang world, it forms a ghost force field, which specifically entangles newborn babies and turns them into ghosts, provoking ghosts wherever they go.

Because the content of "Alien Chronicles" is too bizarre and weird, it is regarded as a banned book by the people on the king continent, and the original version has long been destroyed, and only a very small number of manuscripts are left in circulation, but no one dares to read it openly. The old man of the Lu family has been in business all his life, and he is a successful restaurant businessman, and he rarely reads, let alone studies any forbidden books, so it is not surprising that he recruited an uncle who was born with a ghost force field and did not know it.

Chang'an City is guarded by Zhong Kui, the judge of the Yin Division, and the ghosts dare not make trouble, the ghost force field on Xue Jin's body is ineffective, and he has been living peacefully for so many years, so he doesn't even care about himself, the only thing he cares about is the iron group that followed him inexplicably decades ago, and he can't shake it off, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.

Back then, when he had just married the daughter of the Lu family, the old man said that he was not allowed to bring the iron group into the house, so he could only fight for reason, and finally won a place in the kitchen of the restaurant, but in fact, he was unwilling to do 10,000 in his heart. The old man didn't know, why did he Xue Jin want to drag such a useless burden? But he can't help himself!

No matter how calm Xue Jin was on the surface, his eyes would not lie, and the old eyes covered with fine crow's feet at the corners of his eyes showed helplessness and panic, and Su Lie looked at it squarely.

He remained silent and said softly: "It seems that Shopkeeper Xue has something difficult to say, if it is inconvenient to speak, it is okay if the two of us don't listen." It's just that this iron ball, I'm afraid I really can't buy it. ”

Xue Jin hesitated for a moment, looked at Su Lie a few more times, and sighed: "Hey, I have kept the matter related to the Iron Regiment a secret for almost forty years, if I don't say it again, I'm afraid I will have to take it into the ground." Seeing that Mr. Su doesn't look like a layman who is bored all day long, and he has the demeanor of a general, I might as well tell you about this old thing, and then I can break the idea that you have to get this thing. ”

This was quite attractive, Huang Zhao sat down and stared wide-eyed, not expecting to hear anecdotes while he was bored.

Su Lie was also interested, raised his thick eyebrows and said: "With the trust of the shopkeeper Xue, Su is fortunate to have three lives." You can tell me truthfully, and Su will listen to you. ”

So Xue Jin said leisurely: "When I came to Chang'an from Tu County to take the exam, I was entangled by several unjust ghosts when I passed through a cemetery, and I couldn't get out, so I had to desperately drag my heavy legs forward, thinking that this time I was in a catastrophe, and I would definitely die under the fangs and claws of these ghosts." Who knows that there is no endless road to the sky, and when I was cornered, I suddenly saw a dark place in front of me, like a grave and a small hill. How could I still think about it then? I ran over and hid behind the thing. The shelter appeared in time, and when I collapsed to the ground panting, I really couldn't run, and those few unjust spirits screamed and swirled in the air, unwilling to leave for a long time, and strangely couldn't get close to me. ”

Huang Zhao interjected: "I think that thing helped you?" ”

Xue Jin nodded and said, "Later, I knew that this was the case, but the situation was critical at that time, how could I have the spare strength to analyze?" and was drowsy and miserable until the people came. The ghosts could not see the daylight, and as soon as the dawn broke in the east, they retreated. I breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and thanked the tomb I thought it was, and then realized that it was not a mountain or a tomb, but a pile of iron. 'Who will build a tomb with iron?' I thought curiously. Isn't it? The iron is rusty when it sees the water, and if you really want to build a grave like this, how uneasy will the deceased be? So I'm sure it's not a grave. What happened later proved that I was right. ”

"Is it because of that pile of iron?" Su Lie asked.

Xue Jin let go of his sorrowful face and said with a smile: "Mr. Su is really a god, he can guess this." Yes, when I saluted the scrap metal and thanked him for saving his life, he returned the salute to me! ”

"Huh? A pile of iron with no arms and legs, how do you know he's returning the salute? Huang Zhao asked.

This question is quite reasonable, and Su Lie said that he agreed.

Xue Jin said: "That thing didn't move as a whole, but just stretched out two hands similar to skeleton joints from the bottom to make a fist, what is it if it is not a return gift?" ”

"Huh~ It seems that he is quite polite!" Huang Zhao said jokingly, but when he saw that Su Lie and Xue Jin didn't mean to joke, he quickly closed his mouth.
